office, adding a Steam Power Press and a
good Engine, which will cnablo us to print
a larger paper and with great case and ra
pidity, we lmvo determined to again add to
the sizo of tho paper wo use. This
change will go into effect with tho com
mencement of our next volume, which
begins next week.
The paper will bo enlarged, but tho prico
will bo unchanged. "Wo shall continuo to
publish an Independent Family Journal, de
voted to the interest of no party or faction.
Wo shall always givo a complete record of
local and miscellaneous news, and such a va
riety of other reading matter that tho Times
will bo a welcome visitor in every family.
No namo will bo placed in our list except
tho subscription is prepaid.
Improvements! The Perry County Dem
ocrat lias just placed a new Campbell Press
-in its ofliee, and tho proprietor proposes to
enlarge on tho 1st of January. "Wo aro glad
to boo these evidences of prosperity on tho
part of our neighbor, and it affords us
great pleasure to bo able so soon to return
tho congratulations extended to us when
wo made our improvements a few months
since.
Ann Broken. Wo aro sorry to learn that
Hon. C. J. T. Mclntirc, slipped on tlio ico
on Friday last, and fell in such a manner
us to break his arm near tho shoulder.
Tho accident occurred in front of tho
residence of Sammucl Wiggins, in this
borough. Persons should bo careful to keep
their walks cleaned of the snow and inn
or elso mako them safo by putting on
ashes. '
J)r. Berkley, formerly a resident of this
borough, died a few days sinco quite sud
denly, at Altoona. His death is supposed
to havo resulted from too free use of Mor
phine. At tho time of his death, the Dr.
was in poor circumstances," but sufficient
means were found among his effects to pay
his funeral expenses. His wifo, who was
telegraphed to, declined to como for his
body, as sho said she was not ablo to bear
the exponses, and had leen divorced from
him.
A Bold Robbery and Attempt at Murder."
Early on Saturday morning the 17th Mr.
T. Tunnis, a coal dealer in Harrisburg, was
found in his coal shed, in an unconscious
condition, and with foarful cuts in different
parts of his head. Ho was taken up and
doctors immediately summouod, who pro
nounced him in a very clangorous condition.
But a short timo had intervened between
his being soon by other partios and his
being found in his helploss condition. He
has had lucid intervals since his attack,
and it is lcarnod from him that ho was at
tacked by two men, but his weakness has
not pormittod him to givo any particu lars.
He was robbed of a gold watch and about
iifty dollars in money. He is yet in a crit
ical condition. The place whore tho as
sault was committed is a publio one, and
the robbery and attempt at murder are re
garded as ono of tho boldest crimes on re
cord. Telegraph.

Newport will bo dedicated by Bishop Simp
son, on tho Cth of January, 1871. Pro

The Counterfeit Money Circulars. Tho
recent arrest of tho scamps who flooded
the country with circulars offering to fur
nish counterfeits of U. S. bills, has devel
oped tho fact that it was ono of tho mo st
extensivo swindles ever attempted. In
searching the premises occupied by tho ras
cals, over ten thousand letters were found
coming from every section of tho U. S.
Tho If. Y. Sun has been publishing somo
of tho letters found, and among tho would
bo scoundrels desiring to circulate counter
feit money, was ono member of Congress.
Perry county is also represented among tho
fools, one of the letters found being from
Montgomery's Ferry, Pa. Tho magnitudo
of tho business dono by these fellows may
bo imagined when wo state that their books
showed tho receipts for a single clay to bo
over $7,000. They were discharged after a
hearing, there being no charge upon which
tho justico could them, as they had never
sent anything in answer to their corre
spondents except wood or sawdust. Of
course, they will still continuo to send their
circulars as long as thero aro fools enough
in tho world to mako it profitable, and wo
again warn our readers against remitting
any money in answer to theso circulars.
They aro sent out over several different
names, and they uso various styles of cir
culars, to suit tho locality.
A Scoundrel Caged. Tho Lancaster In
telligencer says that tlus barn of Thos. A.
Clark Drumoro township, was set on firo
on Sunday night last and destroyed, to
gether with all its contents, consisting of
two mules, ono horse, ono heifer, tho cntiro
crop of grain and hay and many farming
implements. It appears that shortly after
the fire was discovered, it was ascertained
that ono of tho horses had been stolen and
riddon off by tho incendiary. Parties at
once started in pursuit and succeed in cap
turing tho thief near tho Maryland lino. Ho
was taken to Lancaster and after a hearing
beforo the Alderman, was confined in tho
county jail. When placed In his cell, the
kecpor noticed tho prisoner vigorously
chewing something and upon examination,
it was found to bo almost a yard of safety
fuse, which ho was endeavoring to swallow
to conceal his guilt. A six shooting revol
ver, fivo of tho chambers loaded, and sever
al boxos of matches were also found on his
person.
Barn Burned by a " Tramp." On Sun
day morning between 7 and 8 o'clock as
tho hired girl, living with Samuel Sharp, on
tho farm of his father, S. W. Sharp, about
a milo above Nowvillo, was going to tho
barn to milk, a man jumped from a door
into a barnyard and caught her by tho arm
when her cries attracted tho attention of
Mr. S., who came to her assistance, when
they noticed that tho largo and commodi
ous brick barn was on fire. Tho scoundrel
ran off. Soon tho flame and smoke were
seen by tho peoplo of Nowvillo, somo of
whom wont up on horseback, and aftor
having received a description of th e man
started in pursuit. Ho was captured in tho
vicinity of Stoughstown, iu the afternoon
taken to Newvillo and had a hearing be
fore a justico of tho peace, and lodged in
tho lock-up until tho next morning, when
he was taken to the county jail.
Mr. 8., lost 18 head of cattle, 8 horses,
75 bushols of wheat, 800 bushels of oats,
hay and farming utensils. Total loss about
two thousand dollars, with slight insurance.
Escape from Jail. Two of tho desper
adocs confined in our jail the .Wrigbts
villo burglar and ono of tho villain who is
charged with making tho assault . upon
Jacob Billingcr mado their escnpo. from
jail, on 'Friday afternoon last, i As Henry
Brandt, the turn-key opened tho door lead
ing into tho corridor of tho prison, ho was
knocked down by tho prisoners, when- thoy
passed out of tho door and ran in tho di
rection of Louck's mill. Albert Kcach and
Emanuel Bear, teamsters at tho almshouse,
happening to sco them, procured a doublo
barrelled gun and pursued them. . Thoy
overtook tlicm just as they wero about
to cross tho creek near' Louck's mill.
They would doubtless havo swam the
stream, had they not been afraid of ' re
ceiving tho contents of tho gun, which had
already been drawn up to fire upon them,
in caso they had not submitted. With tho
nssistanco of a number of other persons in
the vicinity, who had gone in pursuit of
them they were brought back and safely
lodged in jail. York Frets. '' .''..
Sad Accident. On Monday morning last,
Mr. John Harris, a young man about 23
years of age, residing in Bcalo township
met with an accident which resulted m his
death. Ho had been throwing hay from
tho mow on to tho barn floor, and then
threw tho fork into tho pile of hay. In jump
ing from tho mow on tho hay ho struck tho
fork handle, which penetrated his person
from the effects of which ho died on tho
evening of the same day. Juniata Sentinel.

Esq., of tho York P-m, recently killed a

Carlisle- is no longer to be tho principal

tho war department having decided to
mako St. Louis head quarters, keeping tho
barracks at Carlisle only as a sub station.
Perhaps tho department has good reason
for the change, but wo fail to seo what it
can be.
SAlmost a firo resulted at Turbctts hotel
inltbis borough, on Friday evening last,
by ono. of the girls carrying a hot iron up to
her room to warm tho bed. Tho iron being
too hot to uso at once tho girl wrapped it in

the paper soon burst into a blaze, tho girl
meanwhile having left tho room. Fortu
nately tho light was seen from tho outsido
and extinguished in timo to prevent a seri
