a threshing machine. Mo was trying to
; put on the belt which had slipped oil" when
his right arm was caught in tho wheel

thought tube so badly injured that it would
have to como off.
An Old Paper. fo had tho pleasure last
week, of looking over a copy of tho Amcri
tan Mercury, published at Hartford, in
1804. In it are some quite curious adver
tisements, reminding ono forcibly of tho
change that has taken place during seventy
years Among them was an advertisement
oFalottery, which was to bo held in Bos
ton. It also contained a full account of
tho trial of Robert Em met, for tho part he
took in the Irish insurrection, and his fa
mous speech, delivered beforo tho court on
that occasion. We arc under obligation to
Dr. Sweeney for his kindness in sending it
to. us..

mediately sprang- after it. llo was obser
ved by somo of tho passengers to whirl
round- liko a ball, and then ha lay as dead.
The conductor b'ing uninformed of what
had taken place,, the train passed on, leav
ing him as ho liiul fallen, llo was subse
quently taken up in nn unconscious con
dition and taken back to Palmyra,, where
lu3 was restored to consciousness, but his
injuries were quite serious.. Lebanon Cou

, Duncauiioii Items. On Monday, tho
22nd inst., a sad accident occurred ton boy
named William Hamilton, of this place,
while out shooting. About two and a half
miles west of town, as ho was passing an
embankment, his gun slipped from his
hand and was discharged ; tho contents
(a load of heavy shot,) entering his leftside
and arm, inflicting a painful, but it is
thought, not a painful wound.
On V edncsday, tho 24th inst., a lad, son
of Joseph Lutsiuger, aged 8 years, in at
tempting to jump on a passing freight
train, at tho R. R. Freight depot, was
struck by tho step of tho car, and knocked
to the ballast, receiving several severe cuts.
Although theso boys have had several sad
warnings in cases of jumping on the cars
while in motion, yet it seemingly has not
tho tendency of abolishing tho dangerous
habit. The laws are in opposition to this
practice and should bo enforced. Parents
aro responsible for the death or maiming of
their children, if allowed to j ump ou ev
ery train that is passing. Wo hopo to seo
less of it in the future.

Duncannon, August 20th, 1870.
To-day at I o'clock P. M., tho Lutheran
Sabbath School, accompanied by numerous
friends, and headed by tho Duncannon
Silver Band, took up their line of march
for Shcibley's woods, for the purpose of
holding a basket picnic.. Upon their arri
val thcre, they wero ordered to break ranks
which they did, immediately, some going
for tho swings, others for tho cool, shady,
and Inviting retreats, that abounds in tho
vicinity, while others sat about prcpairing
lunch. After a half hours rest,tho band was
invited to a cozy spot beneath tho branches
of some bravo old oaks, where they found
a sumptuous repast, prepared by tho com
mittee awaiting them. After partaking
thereof they again discoursed somo excel
lent music which had a tendency to put all
hands in a good humor, and lots of fun was
had in different ways. Tho invitation being
general there was a largo attendance and
a good timo was had by all. At 7 o'clock
tho party returned to town, all apparently
pleased with the exercise they had enjoyed.
According to previous arrangements the
Sabbath school of the 51. E. Church, also
held ono the same day meeting at tho
church at 1 P. M., and proceeded thenco
to tho grounds on tho banks of Sherman's
creek a short distance above tho nail facto
ry where an abundance of tho dainty sweets
prepared by the niniblo fingers of tho fair
sex was in waiting and already reviewed by
the longing and anxious eyes of the juven
iles. Several largo and secure swings were
erected upon which all had an opportunity
of enjoying a ride through the air, which
was especially ugrecablo as tho day was
very warm.
Everything passed off pleasantly,' noth
ing occurring to mar the enjoyment of tho
afternoon Several were seen strolling fur
ther up the grand old mountain above them,
gathering wild Mowers, and following the
spirit of adventure. Three snakes were
seen, two of which were despatched. At
the approach of evening, all having parta
ken sumptuously of the good things pres
ent, and the pary having grown fatigued,
wended their steps homewaid. How long
the primitive feelings of adventure contin
ued to influenco somo of the wanderers, we
are unable to say, but feel safe in saying
that at a seasonable hour all participants
had sought " Tired nature's sweet restorer,
balmy sleep." W. II. W
A Valuable Work.
" The War between the States, its Causes,
Character, aad Jiesults." By Hon. Alex
akdeii II. Stephens.
The National Publishing Company, of
Philadelphia, havo just issued tho second
and concluding volume of this great work.
For some time past there has been a gener
al feeling or apprehension throughout tho
country that tho precarious condition of
Mr. Stephens' health would prevent his
completing tho work, but this apprehen
sion is now removed by tho fact that the
book is linished, and in the hands of the
Agents of tho Company for delivery.
This is a matter of congratulation to the
entire country. This book must from its
very nature, tako precedence of all South
ern histories of tho war. Tho high posi
tion held by Mr. Stephens in the government
of the Confederacy, his great abilities as
the first statesman of tho South, and his
acknowledged integrity of character, make
him perhaps the person best qualified to
tell tho story of his cause and its failure.
His position as a second officer of tho Con
federacy enabled him to gain much infor
mation which wasinacessible to the ordinary
historian ; tho secret history of his govern
ment is as familiar to him as an open book,
and his constant and intimate association
with tho leaders of the South, prepares him
to speak with accuracy, of their motives,
and to judgo their acts from a more intelli
gent stand-point than any other writer.
In tho first volumo of his work, Mr.
Stephens confined himself entirely to a
discussion of tho causes which led to the
Secession of the South. In tho volume
now beforo us, ho narrates tho story of the
War, giving especial emphasis to tho ac
tion of tho government of the Confederacy,
or to what may be called its confidential
history. His account of the important con
ference at Hampton Roads between Presi
dent Lincoln and tho Confederate Commis
sioners, is one of tho most valuable addi
tions to the literature of the War, and is in
itself worth tho price of tho entiro work.
Tho vexed question of the iion-exchango
of Prisoners of War has much new light
shed upon it, and tho peace movements
in tho South are thoroughly explained.
The fact that the first volumo, which was
but an introduction to tho history of the
War, commanded a sale of over 00,000
copies, fully wan ants tho assertion that
this volumo, which is not a more discussion
of principles, but a living, breathing nar
rative of tho events of tho greatest strug-
;io oi uiuuei it nines, uy ono 01 me greatest
struggles ot modern times, by ono of tho
most important actors in it, will reach a sale
unprecedented in this country. No fair
minded, unprejudiced person can afford to
ho without this book. It is the official his
tory of the Southern side, and must hold
in tho literature of tho War even a higher
place man is accoriied to jur. CJroeley s
American Conflict. It will occupy iiv our
history tho placo that is given to" Nupo
leon.'s Memoirs in tho literature of the
French Empire. It is like that work, the
last production of its gifted author, and is
entited to all tho weight which' attaches it
to tho high diameter of a groat loader pre
senting to tho world the' story of his cause
in vindication of it. Tho book is sold by
subscription only, and agpnta are wanted in
every county.
