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

for the office, the board have elected Lewis
Potter Esq., to fill the vacancy.

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.

attend the National Labor Congress, to be

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. Here is an
example worthy of imitation.

The President Judgeship.
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
