number of persons from tho vi
cinity of Academia, Juniata county, have
tho Western fever badly. The only thing
that will cure it is a personal trial of that
country. Consequently on tho 15th inst.,
thirty-four persons will start from that
neighborhood for Missouri, and three from
near Ickcsburg, Perry county.
Horses Stolen. On last Thursday night,
a bay ma ro was stolen from the stable of
Henry Haines iu Buffalo twp . Thcro was
also stolen tin tho same night a chestnut
bay horso from tho stable of David II, Ste
vens, iu Howo township. A reward of $o0
is offered for tho return of each animal,
and $100 for tho arrest and conviction of
tho thief.
Runaway. On Tuesday last as Sam
uel K. Sanderson and L. C. Clenisou were
driving from Capt. C'lemson's to Newport,
their horso became frightened ac a passing
train of cars, and in spite of their efforts to
stop him, ran at full speed, for quite a dis
tanco. Just as they had him nearly stop
ped, tho buggy ran on to a stone pile. The
young men sprang out, and Mr. Sanderson
holding on to the lines, was dragged quite
a little distance and somewhat bruise d be
fore getting tho horso stopped, but Mr.
Clemson escaped without much injury.
The Trice of Coal. If tho prico of coal
at Millersburg, as given in tho New is cor
rect, it is very evident that consumers are
charged an exorbitant prico for this article
by tho dealers in this county. Tho prico
mentioned as tho ruling rato at Millersburg
on Feb. 1st is :
Egg coal $3 73 per ton.
Nut $2 50 " '
Pea " 1 50 " "
When wo tako into consideration that a
ton at that place means 2,240 pounds, and
with tho dealers hero only 2,000, for which
wo are charged $,1 50 to $0 CO, it will bo
soon, that allowing a liberal prico for freight,
consumers are charged to use no stronger
term, much more than a fair profit on this
necessary article.
Washington's birthday was celebrated in
this borough with considerable spirit by the
Mackinaw Lodgo No. 380, I. O. of O. F.,
and tho Bloomfield Council No. 33 O. U. A.
M. The Millerstown Zouave Band was en
gaged for the day and very excellent music
they furnished. In tho aftcrnooiftlio two
lodges turned out on parade, having in tho
procession a table on which was displayed
tools emblematic of tho order of American
Mechanics, and a boy mounted on horse
back, dressed to represent Oeorgo Wash
ington. After the parade, an address suit
ed to tho occasion, was delivered by Chas.
Lee Murray, Esq., in the Methodist church.
In tho evening tho members of both lodges
with their ladies and many invited guests,
partook of a supper, at tho house of F. B.
C'louser, Esq., which was creditable to him
as a caterer, and could not fail to bo satis,
factory to the partakers.
Wo return our thanks to the band for
tho fine tune played in front of our prcnii
ces. A law stilt of groat importance has been
before tho Bellfonto court, tho past week.
Tho case involves the title to thousands of
acres of land, formerly tho property of Gen.
James Potter, which lies in the counties of
Elk, Potter, Centre and Mifflin.
Terrible Accident. On last Wednesday
morning a lad named Prico Smith, living
with his uncle, Henry Comp, of Tnscavora
township, tliis county, was shot and instant
ly killed. From all wo can learn, it appears
the boy had gone into tho room whoro tho
accident occurred, and where tho pistol was
lying on tho mantel, to fix the lire. Having
dono this ho brought in a robo and blanket
and hung it over chairs beforo tho stovo to
dry, and had then probably taken tho revol
ver to endeavor to remove tho loads which
were in two of tho barrels, whon ono of
them was discharged tho ball entering his
forehead exactly between tho cyc-brows,
producing instant death.
No report was heard, but the lad remain
ed absent so long that Mrs. Comp went in
to seo what detained him, and found him
laying so near to tho stovo that ono arm
and ono knee wero against it and weie bad
ly burned. The boy was subject to occa
sional attacks of bleeding at tho nose and
fainting spells, and when discovered by
Mrs. C. sho supposed that ho had fallen
from ono of these attacks. Sho according
ly placed him on tho robo which sho laid
down for that purpose, not noticing ho was
shot until Mr. Comp, who shortly followed
her in observed the pistol. For some timo
past tho lad had occasionally been trying to
remove two loads, which appeared to bo
rusted in, and at tho timo of tho accident,
was probably looking down tho barrel of
the pistol. Tho deceased was generally
known as Prico Comp, having been adopted
by his uncle Henry Comp, when he was
a few days old. Ho was fifteen years of
ago on the morning of his death, and was
a youth of much promise.
Robbery and Arrest. On Thursday of
last Week during tho time that a public
salo was going on at tho lato residence of
Mr. Smith McKcchan, deceased, near Mt.
Bock, it was discovered that some ono had
entered tho house of Mr. Geo. McKcchan,
not far distant, and robbed the house, to
what extent, it was not known. It was
given out at the sale that such was the
fact, and whereupon a largo crowd institu
ted a search. Tho snow on tho ground re
vealed tho fact that tracks making long
strides went across tho fields in an unusual
path.
By following up these tracks tho veritablo
robber was found snugly esconccd in a fence
corner, with his booty a new overcoat and
several fino suits. He proved to bo a Ger
man and gave his name as Decitz, from
Fredrick, Md. Ho was taken to Carlisle and
remanded to jail, and, wo guess, is just
where ho wanted to be. Newville Star.
XA Fortunate E;eujc. On last AVedncs-
day, while Mr. W. T. Dewalt of Shermans
dale, was engaged in hauling ice, one of
tho horses got entangled among tho logs at
the saw-mill, and while hastening across
the log to tho assistanco of tho boy who
was in chargo of the horses, ho slipped and
fell, and was trampled by one of them, tho
wheel of tho wagon passing over ono of his
legs and rested on tho other for sonio min
utes until help came to his relief. Ho was
considerably bruised by the horses and the
heavy load of ice, but considering tho cir
cumstances was fortunate in escaping with
his life.
