Sonic easily excited persons, residing
ear Ickesburg, have the gold fever, in con
gruence of a report being circulated that
ome of the precious metal had been found
n that vicinity.
fumcrous postal changes have recently
been made in this State, among which is
the appointment of J. T. Robinson as post
master at Green Park, and O. AV. Leas as
postmaster at Sterret's Gap, tho former ofli

week by having his arm caught in the bal
ance wheel of the engine at Peale's tannery.
Fortunately he escaped with only a strain
ing of tho wrist, which caused him to curry
his arm in a sling for a few days.

Kjlie Ex-County Trensurer does not have
a high opinion of a portion of tho Auditor
General's Report. Ry that document it is
made to appear that this county only paid
seven dollars as a tax for restaurants, while
tho Treasurer has the Auditor's receipts for
$57, which he paid into tho State Treasury
on that account. If no more correct in
other particulars, than in tho report as to
this item, tho work will not be remarkably
valuable for reference.
(Jrcat complaints have been made, and
with good reason too, in regard to tho mail
facilities from this portion of tho county.
For somo time past it has taken two days
to get a letter to Duncannon or Harrisburg
from this place and it was only through tho
kindness of tho postmaster at Newport,
who took tho troublo to send through let
ters up to Lewistown, whero they were put
on tho Cincinnati express going east that
letters for Philadelphia did not lay over at
Newport for ono day, in consequence of tho
. stage failing to reach that place in time to
connect with tho mail train. Orders have
now been received from the Post Master
General to tho effect that tho mail must
lcavo Landisburg at 5 A. M., and Bloom
field at 8.30 A. M., so that it will roach
Newport in time to have tho mail leave on
tho 10.50 train.
To the Press. All weekly papers,
published in tho following States, are re
quested to insert tho advertisement in
another column, headed " Homestead
and Pre-emption," one year. Collections
niado quarterly. Print this notice one
time, under editorial head, and send
marked copy: New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware Maryland and Virginia.

Coflln Found. A genttomnn residing in
Ryo twj., found a coflln not long since
laying besido a tree ho lind cut clown a
week previous at wliich time, no such
article was there. The coffin had been
evidently well finished and appeared
to have been buried some months. It
was about three feet long, and when found
seemed to have been recently broken open
with a mattock or crowbar. How it enme
there or by who placed there, is a mystery.
The collin was taken to a house in the
vicinity, whero it now is.
Death From Strangulation. We are
sorry to record tho death of a little child
(about twenty two mouths old,) of Mr.
Stanley, residing in that part of Third
Ward known as Smithlleld, which occurred
on Friday last, from strangulation. It ap
pears that the child had picked up a small
screw, and child-like, jmt it in its mouth,
from whence it slipped into its throat and
lodged there. All cfl'oits to extricate it
were unavailing. Dr. Christy was immedi
ately summoned, but tho little one was
about breathing its last when he arrived.
Aitoona Tribune.
Election of Elders. At a congregational
meeting held in the Presbyterian Church of
Perrysville, on Sabbath last, Prof. David
Wilson, Prof. Alfred J. Patterson, Isaac
Ilawn, Samuel Ruck, and Robert E. Flick
inger, were elected Ruling Elders iu said
church.
We learn that they will bo ordained end
installed with appropriate religious services
on next sabbath (Feb. 13th). Services be

received a lot of Dry Goods, which were
slightly wet during a recent lire in tho city,
are oll'ering them at great bargains. Tho
stock consists of Dress Goods, Cambrics,
White Red Spreads, &c, and though not
really damaged in the least, are sold at
twenty fivo per cent, less than tho regular
price.
Now is your time for barj,.uns.

Mr. Editor The revival of religion in
this place continues to bo kept up every
night. At tho meeting last Saturday eve
ning, I observed about thirty sleds and
sleighs hitched around tho Church. The
seats of tho Church were all filled, mostly
with young persons and the congregation
was addressed in a most fervent manner by
Rev. John Duni, after which quite a num
ber of persons went forward to tho mourn
ers bench.
The store and dwelling house of Mr. Wm.
Dum in this place, came very near being
destroyed by firo on last Saturday. Some
ashes containing fire had been placed in a
box in the wadi house which connects the
store and dwelling, and the lire in tho ashes
communicated to the box and when discov
ered had made such progress that it was
with difficulty that it was extinguished.
This is the second time that this store has
been endangered by lire.
Elliottsburg has a prospect of more im
provements as Jacob Dum proposes build
ing a house and barn the coming Summer.

Special Correspondence of Tub Times.
IIaujusbuko, Feb 11, 1870.
Mr. Editor: ' This city has been tho
scene of intense excitement during the hist
twenty-four hours, consequent upon tho
veto of the "Metropolitan Police Bill" by
the Governor. Tho pressure brought to
bear upon him by tho two opposing fac
tions of the friends and enemies of the bill
was beyond tho annals of our Legisla
tive history. It is not my province or de
sire to express an opinion as to the merits
or demerits of tho bill itself, whatever the
final destiny of the bill may bo. The Gov
ernor was honest in his convictions and has
shown himself possessed of a moral cour
age of which few can boast. Even those
who liko him have faced the cannon's mouth
or stood dauntless before a fierce Kansas
rabble. Quito a number of persons are
visiting tho Legislature iu reference to tho
license question. Tho promised bill to sub
mit the question to a direct voto of tho cit
izens of each district was before the House
during tho evening session of yesterday.
After some debato tho whole matter was
laid ovor until next Thursday. There was
a magnificent reception at the Governor's
mansion last evening. The question of
printing the proceedings of this Legislature
and that of the final adjournment of both
Houses is not yet determined. In looking
over tho proceedings of the Harrisburg
Fertilizer Company, I learn that Mat. Kirk
Haines has been elected Superintendent.
The appointment is a judicious ono and
gives general satisfaction not only to the
stock holders but to his numerous friends
throughout tho State. Among many visi
tors here I observe Cols. Speakman and
McAllister, formerly of your town.
. Yours, Phil.
