Washington's lllrlli Day. TI10 221 of
February was a lively day in this borough.
About 11 o'clock the Round of lingles, an
nounced tlio approach of tho Ickesburg
Cavalry Company, having; between 40 nnd
CO men in line, all well mounted and equip
ped. After a parade through the streets
they dismounted for dinner, after which
tho company bad a drill in tho Held just
below town. Tho company is called the
" Russel Guard," and the organization does
credit to tho county. The ofticers are J. M.
Wcibloy Captain ; who saw considerable
service during the war, and JS. F. Coller,
1st Lieut. One feature of the occasion
was the presence of Major Robinson a sol
dier of 1812, who reviewod the company,
nnd though 80 years of ago is as erect and
spry as many a man of only SO. In tho
evening a concert was given in the Court
House by the 'Ickesburg Concert Troupo,'
which gave entire satisfaction to a large
audience. ,
The Knights of Pythian, with the lady
friends of the members, also had a supper
at the Robinson House.
Although a large number of people were
in town, the day passed of pleasantly with
out any of the disageeable incidents which
are apt to mar occasions of this kind.
Fire In Sellnsgrove. A disastrous tiro
occurred in Sclinsgrove on Wednesday night
last. , It began in a stablo mid before it
was got under control had destroyed 0110
church, five stores, several dwellings and
twelve stables. Tho loss is very heavy and
may reach $100,000. Of this amount we
learn that the Terry Mutual losses about
$0,000. It is supposed to have been the
work.of an Incendiary. Tho frequency of
great fires throughout the country indicate
unusual carelessness, or an increase in
crime. It would at least lie well if courts
would be less lenient with persons convicted
of the crinio of incendiarism.
Nad Accident. On last Tuesday the child
of Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, of Mount Holly,
met with an accident which has since caus
ed its death. The family wore at the din
ner table. Mrs. AVolf was in tho act of
handing a cup of coffee to Mr. Wolf when
I10 quickly rising, struck the cup with his
olbow, thereby spilling about one-half of
its contents over their child.
All that could be done to relieve tho littlo
mifforer was dono, but to no purpose. Her
neck, breast and shoulders wore so badly
scalded that after lingering in intense
agony until Wednesday at throe o'clock
she uxpired. ,
Xnrrpw Escape. On Thursday last as
Henry Foulk, K.i., and Mr. Wm. Beits of
Ryo twp., were felling timber In the woodsa
large treo thoy had cut, lodged ou soino
aplig. Mr. Beltz got on tho tree, and
'ut oil' one of tho saplings, when it flow up
and struck him ou the nose, mashing it,
and knocking him some distance. Ho was
considerably hurt, and his escape from fa
, Ul injury wan remarkably.
. Kudden Heath. Tho Carlisle "Volun
teer" says: On Rabbath last, Mrs. Eliza
Gardner of this borough, while worshiping
iu tho First Lutheran cliuih, was prostra
ted by a sudden stroke of apoplexy. Hhu
was conveyed to her residence in East
Loulhur street, but in a short time life
was extinct. The deceased up to the mo
ment of the attack, had boon in t ho enjoy
ment of excellent hoalth. Truly, "In tho
midst of lint wo an; in du;.!!!." ' '
, A Change. The American Lutheran
says: Rov. 8. K. Herring, recently pastor
of the Reformed church, in Blain, this Co.,
has lately resigned his charge, with , nj view
to connect with the Lutheran church.
He is dissatisfied with the Mercersburg
theology that prevails iu the Eastern
Synod of that denomination, and also to
their opposition to revivals; of religion. He
has received a call from the West Fail view
charge lately served by Rov. 8. Dasher,
and has already commenced his labors
there. Ho has met with a kind reception
from tho peoplo of his new charge. At the
next meeting of tho Reformed Classis In
May next, ho hopes to obtain his regular
dismission, and connect himself formally
with tho West Pennsylvania Synod of tho
Lutheran church.
Our Diincamion Letter.
DtTNCANNON, Feb., 23, 1812.
Mn. Editor: They have resumed oper
ations at the Nail Factory hero after one
weeks idleness, nnd tho prospect for a
steady run is good. Tho Company's iron
warehouse is about ready to store iron in,
the building is of brick and is an ornament
to the place. The " Harrisburg Quickstep"
has been quite prevalent here, tho doctors
reporting about forty (40) cases, but there
have been no deaths, and most of the sick
ones are about again. Tho Knights of
Pythias talk of building a Hall two or throe
stories high; and though nothing lias been
decided on, the projoct meets with general
favor as tho want of a large room in which
entertainments can be given, or which can
bo used for concerts, lectures etc;., is severe
ly felt. The trustees of tho Presbyterian
church are very accommodating and aro
willing to allow the use of tho chinch when
it does not conflict with their sense, of pro
priety, but there are many entertainments
which cannot suitably bo held in a church,
and yet which the general public keenly ap
preciate; and from such wo are dobared.
A number of tho citizens state their willing
ness to take stock to the amount of ouo to
livo hundred dollars each, if tho Knights
push tho enterprise. A return party was
given to the "leap year" ladies by the
young gentlemen of this placo on tho lfith
Inst., at tho Washington house. These lit
tlo parties inako it very pleasant for tho
young folks, though I don't sco why as
soon as a man is married they cease to in
vite him. The U. A. Mechanics gavo an
icecream supper on the evening of the 20th.
It was to take place on Washington's birth
day, but as the United Brethoron were to
begin their forty-second annual Coiiforenco
meeting nere on the 21st it wax changed.
There was somo excellent musio by tho
Silver Cornet Band, some appropriate re
marks by Rev. Rodrock and a rather odd
toast to the ladies, "May tho tall grow
taller, and the small never grow smaller."
Dr. Swarta introduced the orutor of tho
evening, Chase, of York, who In Bn effec
tive addresses urged all to follow the ex
ample set by him who stood " First in war,
first in peace and first in the hearts of bis
countrymen." Since liquor is legally sold
here as a beverage it is nothing unusual to
see men staggering along, or tumbling in
tho gutters, or to hear thorn fighting and
swearing till near morning, and when Mr.
Chase said a man who was not habitually
temperate could not bo a good mechanic
(U. A. M.) many cordially agreed with him,
while somo few perhaps, secretly resolved
to do lictter iu tho future. Vkiutas.
Those Problems.
Mil. Editor: In regard to tho sheep
problem published in tho Ti.mkb, I answer
emphatically that the distribution was not
In accordance with rlio will of tho testator.
By tho provisions of tho will his sheep
which were eleven in number wore to bo
divided in tho following manner, to wit:
The lirst son was to receive one half of the
mi!iiler, the second one fourth, and tho
third ono sixth. This disposed of but
cloven-twelfths of tho whole number or tho
sheep. Tho magistrate discovering this
fact added one more to the original number
making it twelve, then making tho division
in tho sainn ration, which was taking eleven
twelfths of the number, it disposed of tho
11 sheep leaving the remaining one-twelfth,
or one sheep to the original owner. Thus
the heirs received eleven-twelfths of 12
sheep whereas they were only entitled to
that fraction of 1 1 sheep or in other words
they received 11 sheen whilo tho wi'Mgavo
them only eleven-twelfths of that number
leaving tho rcmaing one-twelfth undisposed
of. Yours Truly,
A. M. M.
VS " In answer to tho cat question of last
week several answers have been received,
one of which says, 1 cat, another 88 J cats,
and another thinks 100 cats the proper num
ber. Tho correct answer as received from
It. II. Btcwart, Dunoannon is 3 cats.
A Bkiuoi-s accident was prevented on
tho North Central R. R., a few days sineo
a littlo girl, who observed a broken rail and
signalled and stopped the Fast lino which
was approching. Had it not been for her
coolness, a terrible disaster would probably
have been tho result.

tWlt U a rare thing that physicians
givo any countenance to a medicine, the
manufacture of which is a secret. About
the only exception wo know of is Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment. This, we believe, all
endorse, and many of them use it Iu their
practice with great suoeesa.
