and reports.
.Mayetl Out. AVe have it from excellent
authority that two ground-hoys eamo out
at the usual time near Blain, and that one
was killed, while the hole of tho other was
stopped up so ho could not return.
Wo are glad of it, and think it served
them just rijjlit. Of course wo shall have
good weather now.
)(PostOIortem Examination. In accord
ance with a request left by tho deceased, a
post-mortem examination was made on tho
body of Jliss Elizabeth "Weary, on Satur
day last, by Dr. Striekler, assisted by Dr
Ard, Tho physicians removed an ovarian
tumor weighing 0 pounds and about
twelve gallons of water.
Sold. Tho lower school house, and lot
upon which it was situated, was sold last
Saturday for :00. Tho purchaser was
Mr. llobert Guthrie of this borough.
Ho has been somewhat opposed to tho
school system as at present managed, and
we are glad to see that ho has taken so
great an interest in the cause of education
as to becomo the owner of an institution
of this kind. "We wish him success in his
new enterprise.
hat Coflla. The mystery in regard tho
coflin which was found in llyo township, an
account of which was in our last number
has been solved. It appears that a party
of young men in one of tho largo towns in
Cumberland county, had started a club and
had purchased this coilin to use in the inni
tiation of new members. In tho courso of
a few months tho club.broko up, and this
article of furniture, fell into tho possession
of our informant. Last spring ho removed
to this county, bringing the collin with him,
but thinking best not to take such an arti
cle of furniture to his new home, hid it in
tho woods. A few weeks since, ho again
took it from tho former hiding place, and
placed it where recently found. Having
laid out in tho weather for some months,
gave it tho appearance of being buried,
and tho split in the lid was mado with an
axe.
Newport Items. Our correspondent at
Newport furnishes us tho following ;
JA lady from Mifflin visiting in Newport,
ami wishing to seo tho auditorium room of
tho German Reformed Church, and accom
panied by two ladies, paid a visit to that
room on Sunday last after Sunday school.
in tho meantime the sexton not knowing of
their presence on the second floor, closed
the building and went home. Tho ladies
after inspecting tho room, to their entire
satisfaction, started to go homo also, but
alas, found tho door locked. After calling
lor assistance in vain,' tney commenced a
search for a place of exit, which they at
last found in the coal room, by climbing
through the window. Just think of a big
fat woman, and two tall slim women climb
ing through a window ! Just imagine !
On Thursday night last, four or five
young gentlemen (?) got drunk, and dis
turbed tho community generally, by fight
ing, swearing, removing porches, signs,
riuging tho bell on engine No. 20, insulting
tho night operator in tho operating room,
&c. One gentleman at tho Eagle Hotel,
got a serious fall by stepping out of the
iront door, tho steps being removed by
tho same scoundrels. Several -of tho boys
have left town, fearing arrest. May they
nevor return.
Last week Maj. Barclay lost his "dor;
cause trying to cross the railroad track in
front of a train. He now sings, " Nodorg
to love," with variations.
The 22nd will bo celebrated in tho usual
manner.
Good Clothes don't mako the man, but
they improvo him wonderfully when ho is
mado. Such improvements can bo had of

The following letter will show under
what authority applications aro made for
balance of bounty duo those discharged
before tho expiration of their term of
enlistment, and consequently paid only a
portion of the bounty promised them.
Treasury Dei-artmknt, Suoond Comp
troller's Office, Feb. II, 1870. Hon.
E. li. French, Second Auditor, Sir: In
adjudicating claims under tho first section
of the act of March 3d, 180!) (13 stat., 334),
as construed by tho Attorney General in
his opinion of January l!)th, 1870, soldiers
enlisting under the act of July 4th, 1804,
are to bo allowed tho unpaid installments
of bounty as if they were discharged '"by
expiration of service." They aro not en
titled to the additional bounty granted by
net of July 28th, 1800. When tho enlist
ments were under the net of July 22d, 1801,
and the soldiers have been discharged " by
expiration of service," after serving but a
fraction of their respective terms, their
discharges will bo referred to tho Adjutant
General of the army for correction or verifi
cation. Many who entered merely to till
up unexpired time were discharged by tho
" expiration of service" of the regiment,
not of their own terms of enlistments. If
a soldier who nominally enlisted for three
years, though really for the unexpired
term of a regiment, is to bo paid bounty
for thrco years' service, in consequence of
the phraseology of his discharge, ho might,
and would, in some cases, receive for a
single month's service fifty dollars more
bounty than the man who enlisted for two
years and served faithfully his whole
term.
Tho Attorney General distinctly recog
nizes the authority of the "War Department
to correct errors in tho discharges, an au
thority which has been exercised from tho
establishment of the department.
V hen applications aro made tor unpaid
installments of bounty for services of sol
diers enlisted under tho act of July 4th.
1804, if tho unexpired timo of enlistment is
so great as to raisethc presumption of error,
their discharges also will be referred to tho
djutant General to bo verified or corrected.
J. M. iiitoDUKAi), Comptroller.
Perry County School directors aro thus
talked about by Mr. Silas Wright, in his
mnual report to tho State School Superin
tendent :
' Tim Obstacle enumerated in my last re
port still obstruct tho "way to improve
ment.' 1 ho greatest ot the lour is now
conceived to be inefficient school directors.
MEANS TO PIIOMOTE IMPROVEMENT:
A standard of intellectual qualifications
fixed upon as indispensably requisite for a
school director, then the number reduced
to three and paid for their services out of
tho funds of tho district, and finally the
duties of district secretary, who will then
bo qualified, made to include those of Rchool
visitor or district superintendent. lint if
no change is made, tho sootier the county
supcrintendency is alienated from the school
directory, and made neither to depend upon
it for the tenure of tho ollico nor the salary
ot tho olhcer the better."
There are few persons who do not ap
preciate the importanco of having their
property insured. The .question then
arises, what company to insure in. Lewis
Potter, Esq., of this borough, represents
several companies, but probably the most
reliable aud prompt, is tho Etna of Hart
ford. If you aro not already insured, go to
him at once, and ask him for a policy in
tho Etna Insuranco Company, of Hartford.
Brie8.
Tho weather has given us plenty of the
" Spice of Variety" during the past
week. On Thursday last, the day was
fine, on Friday very rainy, on Sunday
snow storm, aud on Monday clear with
the thermometer at ten degrees above zerc.
The Commissioner of Pensions lias in
structed tho different pension agents
throughout tho country to reject all
vouchers written in purple or violet ink,
as in time these inks becomo entirely ob
literated.
A charge of improper intimacy between
a minister and one of the ladies of his
congregation, is now exciting the citizens
of a neighboring township. Hoping the
charges may provo unfounded, wo will not
publish tho letter of our correspondent,
upon that subject this week.
Thorn is vot no cliniKrn in flirt niiiil ni-
rangements from this part of-the county.
Two days for a letter to go from here to
llarrisburg, is rather too long for this fast
ago.
K(AVo aro glad to seo that tho Academy
inthis place is changing its color. A
new coat of paint was badly needed.
Tho Bloomfield Fur Company were on
the war-patn again last week ami brought
in one or two foxes. They ought to turn
their attention to tho wild cut which has
been heard severul times recently in tho
woods just North of tho borough.
The new Reformed Church in Marys
villo, is rapidly approaching completion.
It will bo quite an ornament to that grow
ing towu.
