A Good thing Well Said. A subscriber
to an Episcopal paper, in sending his ad
vance subscription money, writes to the
editor "I wish to pay for my paper in ad
vance, for I never like to read the editor's pa
yer so well as I do my oion."
y A Curiosity A snake -with two heads
and four eyes was recently captured in
Ryo township, this county, by David Pow
ers. Both heads are perfectly formed, and
are moved at pleasure. It is still alive,
and can bo seen at his residence.
- Accident at Liverpool. On Monday of
last week, a party of men were out hunt
ing, opposite Liverpool, when a a young
man by the name of Mock, from Millcrs
burg, made a misstep and fell. In falling
the gun was discharged, and the contents
entered his head, causing instant death.
llo was buried on the Cth inst., at Millers
bursr. tJuicK Work. The engine which runs
our power press was taken from tho wagon
at 3 p. m., and was up, running 1000 papers
per hour the next day at 10 a.m. Wo think
that is pretty quick work. The crowds that
flocked into our offico to seo the engine and
press in operation, showed that, to very
many, printing by steam was a curiosity.
A Long Fast. A young named French,
of Ilagerstown, has tasted for forty days,
during which time nothing but water enter
ed his stomach. This he did from a relig
ious monomania, believing it necessary, in
order to purify himself. It was thought
until the past week that he would recover,
but be has finally died. This, we think, is
the longest fast on record.
Two men Killed. An old man named
Bokope and his son about sixteen years of
age were killed near Anville on the Lebanon
Valley R. R., on tho 9th inst. They wero
trying to cross the track with a two horse
wagon and were caught by the train. Both
Jiorsos were also killed. Here is another
evidence of the foolishness of attempting to
cross the track when tha train is near.
Inhuman Parents. At Marysville, last
week, the daughter of a man, whoso name
we did not learn, found a sum of money
which her parents took from her, telling
her not to say anything about it, and she
should have a nice dress. The money was
taken by the father to Harrisburg and ex
ponded in a nice suit for himself and
some clothing for his wife, bringing his girl
a cnUico dress and a pair of shoes. She
was not pleased with her share, and told
6ome of the neighbors whero the money
canve from. Her mother learning this, took
the child into a room and whipped her
with a raw hide, and the father coming in
whipped her again so severely that the next
morning the child was a corpse. The pa
rents have been arrested and the affair will
be investigated.
A (irons Outrage On Monday of last
week, some villain committed a terrible
outrage upon tha person of a little girl
about ten years of age, who lived in the
family of James Cambcll, a short distance
above this borough.
It soems that the scamp told tho child
that lix mother, who lives several miles
distant; was sick and wanted her to come
home, mid while on the way prevailed upon
her to enter the woods in search of herbs,
from which to make tea for her mother,
and while there, committed tho outrage.
1 he girl succeeded in reaching her home,
though badly injured, and has sinca been
in a precarious condition. Suspicion rest
ed upon a fellow who had been around here
the day previous, and who was known
be a hard character, but though the officers
have made great exertion to arrest him,
they have as yet not been able to find him,
We think it the duty of tho authorities
to offer a reward for his arrest, and had the
child boen the daughter of some rich per
son, there is no doubt that such action
would have been taken ere this.
We trust no exertion will bo spared to
bring such a villain to punishment.
Supervisors may by reading the fol
lowing remarks of Judge Pearson, deliver
ed before tho Harrisburg court, learn the
risk they run in leaving roads In bad con
dition. Tho remarks regarding the roads
there are applicable to nearly all parts of
this country :
" The various! township supervisors havo
been very negligent in following the re
quirements of tho law. Our county roads
were acknowledged by all, and returned by
tho grand jury on soveral occasions, as ex
tremely bad. Tho officers selected for the
purpose of repairing the township roads
have undoubtedly been derilect in thcir-du-ties.
Ho warned tho jury that in every in
stance in which a team was injured, or life
or limb lost, by bad roads or a neglected
bridge, tho township was responsible for
damages, which, in his experience, had
at times boon so largo as to involvo tho
township in debt for years. In every in
stance tho supervisors had it in their pow
er to levy a tax sufficient to keep tho high
ways in repair, and they wcro responsible
for any failures to do so. It was not only
necessary to rcmovo boulders largo enough
to upset a wagon, but tho roads and bridg
es must bo kept in such order as not to
bo the cause of unusual wear and tear to
vehicles."
Our Kcw Power Tress, which vie run by
Steam, and other recent improvements wo
havo added to our offlcrj, will enable us
to print an almost unlimited number of
copies and we therefore ask our subscri
bers, who wo feel suro will bo interested in
our success to aid us in tho further exten
ding of our circulation.
By a littlo exertion each subscriber could
easily send us one new name, and if they
would do so it would give us a circulation
of between two and three thousand papers
each week. How many will try and send
us one new subscriber ? and if more than
one we still will not object.
A Good Chance. A property consisting
of a House, Barn and 8 Acres of Land, sit
uated onc-half-a-milo South of Bloomfield,
will bo exchanged for a Small Store or other
business, in any part of tho State, or sold

Trees, Plants, &e. Nothing so much
adds to the value and beauty of a farm or
garden as fruits and llowers. Persons
wishing to get anything of that kind from
a reliable firm, will do well to write to He
rendeen & Co., Genova, N. -Y., for their
catalogue, from which they can make se
lection. Thoir catalogue of Dutch Flower
ing Bulbs, for autumn planting, is very
large. One 'will be sent free to aiiy appli
cant. Fish Enterprise. The Carlisle Herald
says : " We learn that Mr. Chas. Ottinger,
of Philadelphia, in connection with a gen
tleman from Baltimore, have loased of Mr.
Abraham Hosier, for ten years, a tract of
land comprising about one acre, on cither
side of the spring, at Bonnie Brook. It is
their intention to convert the land into an
extensive fish pond, .and make it an agreea
ble place of resort. Several thousand dol
lars will bo expended, and they expect to
have it stocked with millions of trout with
in tha next few years, Such an enterprise
well deserves tho thanks of the commu
nity. For The Bloomfield Times.
Dnncannon Improvements.
Perhaps it will be better understood by
those who may read this article to say that
Dr. Jos. S warts, Wm. C. King and ex
Sheriff John Sheibley, whom we in a for
mer communication intended to combine in
the word gentlemen, which we perhaps did
not do, as it read gentleman, bought the
Clark farm, laid out lots and sold the num
ber stated, and wo might also add that we
think they did a very wise and nice thing.
1st, because they help to improve. 2d, be
cause they will cloar no less than two thou
sand dollars a pieca in the transaction. ,
The first man to build a house on! the
new addition was Mr. Wm. Brown, tho
man who la full of patent-rights, and has
excelled in the Window Sash Lock. Next
was Mr. Crick, and third was Mr, S. whom
we mentioned last week. We simply men
tioned tha School house row building, will
writo of it again. Mr. S. 8. Auchmuty has
a cellar partly dug, and roost of his lumber
on the ground, will build during tho win
ter, and a number still intend to build as
soon as the " needful" is ready.
In the Borough limits pavements aro
being graded and laid with boards and
brick, making a very decided improvement.
Mr. Thomas Milliken has a cellar nearly
dug. Mr. John Bowers has a liouso staked
out. Mr. Jos. May all is rebuilding a house.
Mr. Henry Stevenson has commenced a
building. Charles Ashton has a fine house
under way. Miss Mary Fulton has rebuilt,
and improved her residence. And others
of whom wo will write. More Again.
