n Death from Lightning. During the tcr-
..ft-l L . t! l - 1
nuiu Bturiii wnicn jiasseu over some portions
of our county on Monday night of last week,
the lightning struck the house of Alfred
Corl, in Marysville, tearing the weathor
boards and plastering on the north cud of
tho building, and badly shattering the tlm
bcrsi In tho passage of the fluid through
the house, it injured his daughter, Sarah, a
girl about 14 years of age, so badly that she
died from its effects on the following morn
ing. Tho electric current appeared to enter
tho girl's mouth, though no external injuries
were visible, the lungs and heart were much
affected.
X.Soveral other cases of accident have been
reported. The barn belonging to Mr. Chas.
Bressler, in Oliver twp., was struck, the
fluid passing near a valuable mare, killing
her almost instantly. The contents of the
building took fire, but wore fortunately
extinguished before much damage was done.
Several other minor accidents have also
been reported.
"Runaway. On Saturday last, as Whit-
Newport road, a short distance this side of
Everhart's, the horses took fright at some
hogs, and in spite of all tho efforts of the
driver, ran off, upsetting the wagon down
tho bank, into the creek. Fortunately,
Singer, who was driving, was but little
hurt, and tho horse and wagon were got out
by driving down the creek to where the bank
was low enough to enable tho horses to
draw the wagon up on to tho road.

F. E. Spinner. Treas'r U. S.
Washington, June 14th 1870.
Feasting at Funerals. We heartily en
dorse the following remarks, which we find
in an exchange and hope the time will
soon come when the practice will be en
tirely abolished, as it already is, except in
a portion of this state.
"The practice of feasting at funerals,
after the burial of the dead, is one of long
standing in many parts of our State, but
its propriety and example of late years
have been questioned, and the practice is
gradually being abandoned. To those
who do not join in this old-time custom it
seems particularly reprehensible for tho
frieuds and acquaintances of the family
just afflicted by death, and mourning the
loss of a dear one, to have their sorrows
and afilictions broken in upon by a host of
hungry visitors, whose only motive, in
many instances, in attending tho funeral is
we doubt not, to feast at the expense of
the afllictct To turn a house of mourning
into one of feasting, is, we think, much
out of placo and should not be encouraged.
Duucanuon Items. Monday night of
last week, two chaps, while under the in
fluence of liquor took advantage of Mr.
John Wister's absence, and entered his
house for the purpose of having a spree at
Johuie'8 expense. Having received from
his private stock some good brandy, they
concluded to try his champagne ; and,
while doing so were surprised at the sudden
and unexpected return of Mr. W., who,
taking in the situation of affairs at a
glance, ordered them to vacate, which they
did without muoh hesitancy. Mr. W.
showed them to the gate, relieved them of,
and poured out the supply which they had
scoured for their morning' bitters,' and
sent them on their way rejoieing(?) ' Next
time they go on a champagne 6pree, we
suggest that they go supplied with the ne
oessary aparatus for opening it, as Mr.
W 's carpet (not his head) was left 'swim
ming in champagne.'
Any one wishing to see the very neat
est kind of a hall, can do so by visiting
that of the odd-fellows. If the different
associations meeting there, don't have good
times it will not bo for want of pleasant
surroundings. Tho hall has been entirely
re-furnished.
On Tuesday evening last, while Mrs. An
drew Fissol was pulling some plants in the
garden, she was bitten by a copperhead, in
the hand. The snake is described as one of
the largest of its species, and of a very
rough, rusty color. This is the second timo
in the last year, that Mrs. Fissel has been
bitten.
We were infinitely pleased with the mu
sic we heard, discoursed by the Duncan
non Band, on last Wednesday night in
front of the Odd-Fellows' Hall. The resi
dents of Lower Front Street acknowledge
a rich treat. Do it more times, boys.
Somebody's Hip-up-and-comio Circus
showed here on Friday last, the 1st inst., in
the afternoon and evening, to an audience
of about thirty. We saw the hip-up on
their old horses, but we couldn't see the
comic (hyppocomiquo.) IIeur,
Fiendish Outrage. A fiend in human
shape, named James Long, whose pa
rents reside in Mount Union, on Tuesday
of last week perpetrated a most diabolical
outrage upon the person of a little girl
about 13 years of age. He was arrested and
taken to the Mifflin county jail, to await his
trial, the deed having been committed near
the lattcrplace. Ho is about 18 years of
age. The life of the child upon whom tho
injury was inflicted was despaired of.
Huntingdon Journal.
A Warning. A lady residing in Charles

sicians that it is caused by insects called
borers, inhabiting the Hindoo bark braid of

non and has had her head shaved, fearing
some of tho insects had taken up their
abode in her natural back hair. Ladies,
