NEW liLOOMFIELD, FENN'A.
Tuesday, October 11, 1S70.
European affairs remain much in
the same condition as they wero last
week. The siege of Paris is continued,
with firm -determination on the- part of
the Prussians to capture it, if not by di
rect attack and boinbardnient,to starve the
city into a surrender. This the French
say will be a long undertaking as they
elaini to have sufficient provisions to last
a three month's siege. It is probable
that the Prussians will soon tire of the
monotony of such a siege, and will com
mence to bombard the city a soon as guns
can be got into position.
BT" The detective system is much bet
ter organized in England than in this
eountry, and few criminals escape there.
How they pursue an offender has been
lately illustrated. Seven years ago a
London banter was robbed of eleven
thousand pounds by a man named Jones
who escaped with his plunder. The Lon
don police, (however have kept a watch
upon his family ever since, and a few
weeks ago the family was observed mak
ing preparations for leaving London.
The police followed the family to Toronto,
Canada. On Thursday last, Jones and
his family liad a happy meeting, but they
had been together but a short time when
an officer stepped in and took the crest
fallen Jones into custody.
Terrible Flood.
The equinocial storm made terrible
work in many parts of Virginia as will
be seen by the following details taken
from a Richmond paper of the 3d inst.
" The greatest flood that has been known
for thirty-five years is now raging in the
Shenandoah river. The damage to
property at Harper's Ferry is immense.
Some twenty buildings mostly largo stone
and brick edifices, have been swept away,
and forty-six persons in this immediate
vicinity alone lave lost their lives, and
as many more ure in immediate danger.
Shenandoah City, a mile above the Fer
ry is entirely gone. The big flour mill
still stands but the machine shops have
been swept away. Nearly all the fami
lies on the island are still in their homes,
and no rescue can reach them. Some of
the houses will doubtless stand and the
Islanders are endeavoring to get into the
strongest houses. Last night a family of
seven were rescued by a rope thrown
through the window. A few moments
thereafter not a vestige of the house re
mained. This morning a large colored
woman was seen clinging to a tree in the
midst of the seething water, where she
had been all night. Bolivar Heights are
crowded with anxious spectators, who are
compelled to witness what they cannot
avert. The Winchester Railway trestles
are completely gone, and bridges destroy
ed as far up as Shenandoah Valley.
Mr. Blakeman, wife and three children
and Mrs. Ridgway were at the table
breakfasting when the flood came, and
all were drowned. Mr. Kaufman was
saved by seizing a limb of a tree as it was
carried swiftly down stream. Messrs.
Roy, Bayly, and Ridgway sought refuge
on the top of a tree and remained there
all night.
The river iose twenty-five feet in four
hours. All the mills in the Shenandoah
valley for thirty miles, except two, are de
stroyed. In this city the destruction was enor
mous. The river is so high that it has
put out all the gas lights in the city with
one exception and the water is now
within a few inches of that. In one of
the streets is anchored a vessel which has
been carried from the river by the rush
of water, the crew of which are pulling
away from.it in boats for high ground.
The rise is the worst known this century,
and the destruction of property and loss
of life is truly alarming."

A Frog Ejected From a Man's Stomach.
Mr. S. Southworth, of Warren, has for
sometime past been afflicted with an un
easy and somewhat painful sensation in
his stomach. Being quite sick on Wed
nesday night last external applications of
salt and water were made, and lie also
drank a quantity. About four o'clock on
Thursday morning he was taken with
vomiting, and from his stomach was ejec
ted a live frog, or toad, measuring one
and one-fourth inches long by oue iuch
in width. His frogship, evidently, did
not like the change of climate, for after
springing around in the wash bowl, in
which he made his debut, a few moments
he kicked his last kick. How the reptile
got into the man's stomach is a mystery,
as Mr. S. has no recollection of indulging
in frog either cooked or raw. It is prob
able that at some time it was swallowed
in an embryo state in a drink of water.
Mr. Southworth has experienced the pain
in the stomach for about fifteen years past
but it is hardly probable that it has been
there so long, else Mr. S. would possibly
have been a proverbial croaker, and not
the quiet, civil old gentleman that every
body knowi him to be. Dr. Speer has
the frog in a bottle of spirits, and the
curious or doubting can see it by calling
at his office. Warren Chronicle.
Sad Accident and Death From Coal OIL
Mrs. Wm, Savidgc, of Turbotville, was
burned so badly on Monday night last
that she expired at five o'clock, Tuesday
morning, after enduring most excrutia
ting pain. As was the custom of the
family the lamp was placed in a coal
scuttle and left to burn all night. About
11 o'clock the attention of Mrs Savidge
was called to the lamp whether by an
explosion or by tho flickering of the light
is not known with certainty , and she
seized tho scuttle to throw it out of the
window. The flames communicated to
her apparel and in an instant almost she
wos terribly burned. Mr. Savidge in his
frantic- efforts to extinguish the flames
was severely burned about the hands and
feet, likewise, the two children, Sarah
and Benjamin. Several physicians were
at once summoned but the injuries of
Mrs. Savidge were so serious that beyond
administering narcotics to allay her ago
ny, no hope was entertained and she died
at the hour above stated. This sud event
has filled the wholo community with pro
found sorrow, and the distressed family
have the heart felt sympathy of all who
knew them. Miltonian.
Forly rcrsons Poisoned.
A few mornings since the boarders at
Mrs. Finch's boarding-house, atthoS. W.
corner of Eighth and Olive streets, St.
Louis, were delighted at the abundant
supply of nice hot corn bread,, which was
nicely browned on both sides, and had
a sweeter flavor than usual. Tho cook
was praised fur her skill in getting up hot
corn bread, and the butter melted away
with marvelous rapidity.
After breakfast the boarders gathered
in tho sitting rooms as usual, to exchange
the compliments of the day, read the
morning papers aud discuss tho war news.
They had not been there long before one
of them a young man, whose appetite
for hot corn bread hail been immense
jumped up aud ran into tho back yard.
Another and another followed, until all
the boarders, many in number were try
ing to relievo themselves of the retchings
in their stomachs.
" Good gracious !" cried the young
man with the big appetite, " I'm poison
ed 1"
" So am I !" said another, and the word
went from mouth to mouth in the inter
vals of the retchings, that the whole house
was poisoned. Some rushed to the near
est doctor's offices, some went to bed, and
some threw themselves on the sofas and
prepared to " give up the ghost."
Several physicians were called in, and
it was ascertained that the bread eating
boarders suffered from arsenical poison.
An investigation of the cause revealed
the fact that one of the girls had mixed
arsenic with corn meal in a saucer for
the purpose of killing rats! Another
girl, of an economical turn of mind, see
ing the mixture in tho saucer, and sup
posing it to bo all corn meal, frugally
emptied it into tho meal barrel. The
next morning the cook served up hot
cornbread to the boarders, and unwitting
ly placed some of the arsenic in the bat
ter. Proper remedies were administered
by the physicians, and, at last accounts
the iboarders were in a fair way to recov
er, except the young man with the vo
racious appetite, who disappeared though
the back gate and has not been seen
since.

A village is springing up, and various

but a few years ago, the old church stood
almost alone. This little community has
in its midst many advantages and conven

more. Near to the old church a new one
is in process of construction, for the use of
tho United Brethren in Christ. New hous

business ; a blacksmith-shop is carried on
by Messrs. Work and Smith ; Mr. Smith
does a good business making wagons and

can't be beat in Perry county, and of course,
nowhere else. Our rresident carpenters

REAL ESTATE NOTICES.
For the Bloomfield Timet.
Great Prospects for Coal In Little Ger
many. Mr. Editor Sir, through the Timet we
desire to state that we earnestly think the
prospects for coal in Little Germany aro
good, and ask persons who have had some
experience in coal-mines to come and ex
amine this.
The black Blate has all appearance of coal
and some who have tried it in the fire, say
it burns. The well in which it is found, is
now as deep as Mr. Smith, the owner,
wants it, and unless others who wish to see
it tried further, will furnish the means.
the digging will have to stop. Most of
the neighbors here have given a small
sum each, towards digging it deeper, and if
those at a distance would help but a little,
it might be fairly tried. Will not some
come and see at least the appearance, and
if they think necessary, contribute one dol
lar to carry on the investigation.
This is about one-fourth of a mile east
of the Black Slate Hill, near Forde's saw
mill, where, several years ago a company
undertook to dig for coal, but soon gave it
up on account of the hard digging. Let us
try it again. The prospects are now better
than ever.
