' School Director. At tho last election Mr. Thomas Butch and Dr. John O. Shatto received a tie vote for school director in this borough. As they both declined to comply with the law which says that in the event of " a tio" the parties shall draw cuts for the office, the board have elected Lewis Potter Esq., to fill the vacancy. "n When you hear a man depreciating the town or locality in which he lives, ask him what he has done to build up the place or make tho people more prosperous. Ten to one, he has never expended a single cent for any public enterprise, or even to improve his own property or bring a farthing of trade to the place. , .. ."' Life Insurance Mr.. I. R. . Wensel, of Duncannon, is now representing " the ' Now York Life Insurance Co., an orglnization said to be in a most prosperous condition. It is a very old company,' having been or ganized 27 years. Their assets at tho present time are twenty-seven millions of dollars. - . ' t . . ' . It How Many I An old woman sent hor daughter to sell a basket of apples. . At the first place she sold one half and half an apple over ; at the second place she sold half the remainder, and half an apple over, and at the third place she sold the half of what she still had, and one half an apple over, and she had none left and none cut in making the sales. Now who can tell how many apples she had when she started? . . ,. ! , Barn Burned. The large barn belong, ing to John Patterson, at .Peru,; Juniata county, was destroyed by the torch of the incendiary, on the night of Thursday a week, together with about twenty tons of hay, twenty acres of wheat and eighteen acres of oats. . Mr. Patterson bad just fin ished hauling in oats that evening. , The fire was discovered about 10 o clock. The barn was insured in tho Perry County Mu tual for $1200. Democrat Register. Another. On Friday evening 28th ult., the barn of Mr.' John Woodward, above Johnstown, in the same county, was struck by lighting. It was filled with grain and hay, all of which was destroyed. ' " " ' ' ' Horse Stolen. On Sunday of last week valuable horse belonging to McEl value & Son, at the Cove, was stolen from the pasture. Early on Monday morning, de spatches were sent from Duncannon to various points, where it was thought the thief might go, offering a reward of $200 for tho recovery of the horse aud arrest of the thief. About noon on the same day, word was received from Carlisle that the man had been arrested at that place, by Deputy Sheriff Goodyear, and the horse recovered, and that the. thief was in jail awaiting the arrival of tho officers to bring him to Perry county. On Saturday, Sheriff Rinebart went after the prisoner and on Sunday morning placed him in jail in this borough. The thief was a man named Wm. Lynch. Death In a Lime Kilo. An unfortunate accident, resulting in the death of a father and son, occurred on Thursday morning a week, at Buffalo creek, about four miles " from Lewisburg, Union county. It appears that Joseph and John Gooslcr were engag ed at work ou the draw lime-kiln owned by them, when the son, John, entered the laue to remedy some defect. He soon ex perienced a sense of suffocation, and his hither went to his assistance. The latter also mot the same fate, and before they were rescued both were dead, having been suffocated. Mr. John Gooslor was a broth' er-in-law to S. S. Barrett, of this city, from whom we leant the above foots. The fu neral of the deceased took place on Satur day, and was very largely attended, both gentlemen being widely known aud highly esteemed. llarritburg State Journal. Bobbery. A robbery was committed in Perrysvillo on the evening of Sunday the 80th ult., between tho hours of , 7 , and 0 o'clock. The facts are as follows : Mr. Henry Ebberts and wife after put ting their four children to bed, went to church and iu thoir absence some scoun drel unlocked the door in the nppor part of the house went down into the basement and between the ceiling and floor secured a box containing $140 or $130 in money and promissory notes to the amount of $800 to- gothor with doeds l ax orders &c. in the whole amounting to near $2000. The latter will be of small account to the thief, and Mr. Ebberts thinks as the notes are on hon est men his loss will not be so great in the ond. Mr. E. is a hard working honest man and what he has of this world's goods' he earned by the sweat of his brow. The thief is undoubtedly not a stranger in the place. Mr. E. has some grounds for sus picion as to who committed the act and nn arrest may be looked for soon. "The Blue Juniata." The Philadelphia "Evening Star" thus speaks of the Juniata. Most of those who havo heard or road of tho Juniata river have been led to regard it as a stream whoso azure waters were sufficiently beautiful to inspire the poet. But this is a mistake, especially on the main branch. The waters of this river, in consequence of the dams erected to supply the Pennsylvania Canal, have become slug gish, and absolutely of offensive smell, and the color is a dirty green. ' ' This change in the water has taken place within the last two years, audit has be come not merely a subjoct of general re mark, but of serious apprehension on the part of those who rcsido along its banks. Thus far, no perceptible change has taken place in the healthfulness of the section of country through which it passes, but fears are entertained that there will be a return of tho chills and fevers, which some twenty years ago prevailed so extensively along its margin. An Incident or the Great Hall Storm. The Itiltonian (Northumberland Co.) re lates the following : A Mr. Grange resides a short distance this side of Brass' tavern, and right in the centre of the district most devastated by the storm. On tho fatal Sun day his wife and all the family except him self had gone over to the Exchange leaving him alone in the house, which stands on a side hill. Across a little gully from his house is the house of a neighbor, who had also gone away .with his family, loaving only a little girl at home. When Mr. Orange saw the storm coming he called out to the little girl to come over to his house and stay until the storm had passed.' She replied that sho was not afraid, and a mo ment after the storm burst upon them in all its fury. The huge stones came through the old roof of Mr. Grange's house as though it had been paper, and soon every room was flooded with rain, while the win- dows were broken through and rain and hail fairly blinded and confused the lone occupant. In his fright and confusion he started to run out of the door, but the pelt ing hail drove him back, and he waited for the cessation of the storm in a state border ing on insanity. 1 All at onoe a huge wall of hail and water which had been dammed up on the hill above the house, by a smoke house and other outbuildings, broke from its bounds and came down upon the building to force the structure from its foundations, Fortunately, the cellar door gave way, and the huge mass found a place of deposit, The cellar was filled to the hoight of a flour barrel, and after the storm it was estima ted there were eighty bushels of hail stones in the deposit I , , . , . . , , , ' Duncannon Items. Our correspondent from Duncannon sends the following : The horse stolen from Wm. McElwain at the Cove Forge, on Sunday night, July 30th, was found at Carlisle, on Monday, and the thief, William Lynch, of Duncannon, lodged in jail, at that place. Cyrus II. Hochlander, Esq., of Duncan non, left for St. Louis on the 4th inst., to attend the National Labor Congress, to be held in that city, commencing on the 7th inst. Mr. II. represents Union No. 14, re cently organized at Duncannon. ' A TERHIBLB ACCID ENT. Shortly before noon on Saturday the ro port reached us that a man was laying at the depot with both legs cut off by the cars. On going there, one of the most horrible sights was presented that ever met my view. On the floor in the gouts' waiting room, in a large pool of blood, lay a young man named William Morris, of Liverpool, Pa. An other correspondent gives the name as Morris Wallace. Ed. His right log from the knee down, was mangled in the most horrible manner; his left foot was completely crushed off at the ankle. Dr. Warner, of this borough, was in attend ance, giving all possible relief to the suffer ing man, whilo telegrams were sent to his friends in Liverpool, and for Dr. Ruther ford, of Ilarrisburg, but the young man will doubtless die from loss of blood be fore either reaches him. The accident oc curred by his attempting to get on a pas sing freight train to go to Ilarrisburg at 11 o'clock. Dead. The young man spoken of above, whose name is Morris Wallace, died on Saturday afternoon, while bis log was being amputated. Two Tonng Ladles of Reading, Mass., members of tho Bethosda Congregational Church in that placoj being grieved on ac-1 count of the debt of $4,000 which hud been afflicting the church for five years, rose up and went at it with a subscription paper. 'They dividod it into shares of ton dollars each, and visited first the young women, then the young men, then their older sisters and brethren ; and by dlut of much prayer and perseverance they have succeeded in wiping it all out.

The morning was exceedingly fair, and early in the day groups of men, women and children, could be seen wending their way to Grand Pap's party. -Ten o'clock was the time fixed for commencing the morn. ing exercises.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JIMMY - , HEFFELFINGER. , . Duxn Sin. I am greatly pleased. In my former communication I showed that by "prescriptive right" Carlisle of Cum berland" was entitled to tho Judgeship, and whatever doubt I then entertained as to the correctness of my legal views, my mind is now at rest, the principles of law there stated having evidently met the full concur rence of tho legal fraternity of that place as shown by the appearance of two more can didates for the Judgeship, making in all four from the Borough of Carlisle. This is as it should bo, aud it is consoling to know that the members of tho bar of that Iilaco are sensible of thoir ancient rights. . have heard of a western family so numer ous that the children could not have the measles all at ono time there not being a sufficient supply to go round, and this un fortunate contingency seems threatening the Judicial family of old " Mother Cum berland" the Judgeships wont go round. Nevertheless the counties of Perry and Juniata havo great occasion for thankful ness seeing, that nothing short of a . legal pestilence uim extinguish those num eroug lights of jurisprudence so willing to shine for the glory of the district, giving the as surance of continued Judicial prosperity. Let not the people of these two counties show their want of appreciation of the high honor extended them, by neglecting the opportunity of voting for these self sacrific ing gentlemen who are ready to raise the Judicial standard in your midst at the in significant salary of tour Thousand DolUtrt per annum. The Jows after being entrus ted with the Oracles of God threw away their opportunity but I have no fear that the people of Perry and Juniata will fail to avail themselves of those legal treasures so chonply tendered so modostly urged, and so reasonably too, on the part of men who have the right. And if some son of Juni ata or Perry who has been raised among thoir hills, so far forgets his proper station as to allow his name to appear lor tne can didacy we hope that the people will indig nantly frown down any such unwarrantable and unjustiiiauie audacity. Let them be law abiding and give unto Caisar tho things that are his,' and unto Cariislo the things that aro hers. l ours decidedly, JIMMY HEFFELFINGER, Who expects to bo admitted to the Bar, provided the Judgeship is not vacant. A Sneak Thief. A few days since a thief entered the shop of Esq. Folk, in Rye town ship, and stole some change from the drawer, and a calf-skin. Some notes and due bills amounting to $114, were also ta ken from a secretary, but woro afterwards found in tho coal stove whero tho follow had placed thorn. The squire says he may keep the cash and skin on account of his kindness In leaving the papers. XW Last week three colored individuals escaped from the Eastern penitentiary, at Philadelphia, by getting into the sewer which tikes the filth from the prison, and crawling along it to a trap which opens on Parish streot, two-thirds of a mile from whore they entered. One of the men, John Thomas, was arrested again at Ilarrisburg, on Thursday morning. Tho other two men were arrested the next day, and all are again in their old quarters. One Hundred Tenons Poisoned. - On Tuesday last a large number of the guest at the Alhambra House, at Atlantio City, were poisoned by something that was served up for dinner. It is supposed that oil of almonds was put into a custard by mistake. No deaths have occurred, but some of the patients are in a dangerous condition. Hiocnl I3i-iel"H.
