On Friday evening last Lilly Eepner a girl about 8 years of age, and the oldest daughter of Wm, T. Kepner of this borough, fell from the loft in her father's stable, and received severe injuries. Bo sides breaking tho right arm, between the wrist and the elbow, tho wrist was put out of joint. ,Arm Broken. On Saturday afternoon a child about four years old, daughter of David UoclienscheiU, residing in Centre twp., fell from a chair and broke its right arm. The fracture was reduced by Dr. Ardofthis borough, and the littlogirl is getting along as well as can be expected. y(k Log Off. On Wednesday evening of last week, a man giving his name as Peter Totton, and who is a resident of Massa chusetts, jumped off a freight train going Went, near the Acqueduct Station, in this county, and was thrown on the other track where he was caught by the mail train East, and had bis leg so badly crushed that am putation was necessary, Tho mail was taken to HarriBUurg where the operation was performed. He was also injured about the head, but it is thought not so seriously, but that he may recover. Another Accident. On Saturday after noon last, Mr. Woodmansee proprietor of the Foundry at Newport, had his right hand badly mashed and his arm broken while putting on a belt, by getting his hand between the belt and the pul'ey. Barn Burned. About 1 o'clock on Saturday night last, the barn occupied by Abraham Long, on tho other side of the Juniata, river opposito Newport was found to be ou tire. There is no doubt but what the building was set on lire, as all the stock was let loose except one calf. The remaining contents includiug a largo amount of grain and most of tho farming implements were destroyed. The loss is quite largo. We did not learn whether Mr, Christian Long to whom the barn belong ed, had any insurance on his building. CKcnnIon. Thursday the l)th inst., was the day appointed for the annual reunion of the Oth Penu'a. Cavalry at Duncannon, This battle-scarred and and gallant old reg. iment was well represented by its surviv ing members from Perry, but there were few in attendance from the neighboring Counties. A sumptuous repast was pre pared in the yard of Shires' Hotel, and the occasion was enlivened by the musio of the Duncannon baud. ' An impromptu and very spirited address was delivered by Isaac O Black, Esq., of Bloomfleld. The day was closed by a ball a tho National Hotel. A Tllllanons Act. On Monday aftcr ' noon of last week a little girl, whose parents reside in Centre twp., (whose name we do not give at their request,) wan attacked while returning from school in this borough, by a villian who attempted to commit a gross outrage upon her. The child who is not yet ten years of age was somewhat injured by the scamp. She de scribes him as a short stout man, and what is rather singular is, that her description of him compares with the description given , by two other girls, who have had Bimilar attempts made upon them in tliat part of the township within two years. It is high time this villian was hunted up, and planted under the superintendence of Judge Lynch, as there is no doubt, but what all these outrages have been committed by the same person, and one who .belongs in that vi cinity. ' Fatal Accident. A boy named Isaac Myers, about fourteen years of ago, acci dentally fell under the wheels of a dirt- wagon he was engaged in driving out on the dirt bank at Williamstown colliery, on Tuesday morning last, the wheels of which passed over bis left leg, cutting it almost entirely off. Medical aid was Immediately called to his relief, but the system had re ceived so severe a shock that it could not again rally and he expired in the aftcrncon qf the same day at the house where he, with his father, whose name is Jacob P. Myers, were board Inir. They had come to this place about three weeks ago from the vl cinitv of fiottvsuunr. to which place his body was conveyed on Wednesday. ly- ton Jitgiiter. ....... A Mysterious Affair. On last Thursday a startling report reach- ed us, stating some time during the previ ous night, Mr. Thomas Shearer residing near Shermanfldale,. had been called from his house by some person, who beat and stabbed him and leaving him for dead. Upon further inquiry we learned that Mr. Shearer's statement' of the matter is as follows: lie tayt that during the night ho was awakened by some person calling him to come out, and that he accordingly obeyed tho summons, and as he stepped out he saw no one, but had his attention attracted by a noise across tho road. Just at that in stance he hoard a noise bohind him, and as he looked around, was struck by a stone or club and knocked senseless. When he recovered and got Into the house, ho found that he had been stabbed in the breast, but that the knife had struck a bone and done but little injury. He also says that he was kicked while down and hurt internally. It is stated that a letter was found saying that the injuries had been inflicted by the same person, who, a few mouths since had set fire to Mr. Shearer's store, which with most of its contents was destroyed, and this was a portion of the revengo which tho writer had visited upon his victim. On Wednesday evening, a man was arrested by constable Oibney on a warrant issued by 'Squire Fleck, and was brought before Esq. Clousor, of this borough when bail was entered for . his appearance. George Ask Ins was tho person arrested, but there is no doubt of his innocence, and his arrest only adds to the wrong that has been done. . There . are many startling rumors in circulation iu connection with this affair, and the matter is being thor oughly investigated. The parties conduct ing the investigation are coufido.it of soon clearing up the mystery and expect to find that the person guilty of causing the de struction of the store will be found to be tho tame perton who has caused this last sensation. The Crops. Tho Harrisburg Tele graph of last week says: "Forty miles journey through a neighboring county lias con vinced us of the fact that the cropslexcept- ing hay) will be immense. Grain, fruits and vegetables of all kinds are in a forward state, considering tno season. me wheat is CRpeciallv very promising : oats may bo short, should the weather continue dry ; but apples, pears, cherries and peaches will yield a very large crop. Our readers will be gratified to learn that there is every prom ise of an abundance of fruit, and that pri ces will uiidoubtly be lower than they liave been in the past lllteen years. We wondor what sort of spectacles the Teleirraph mau looks through. As far as we haveseen,and we have been through Leba non and Cumberland as well as this coun ty, there is no chance of more than half a crop, of either wheat or bay. Many of the wheat fields could be hoed without cutting off a stalk of wheat. Fruit is about the only thing which now promises a good yield. hilled on the Kullroad. A ork paper says : On Thursday night shortly after twelve o'cloek as the Cincinnati Express was passing along a short distanee south of York, a German man named Henry Stein- icker who was on the track wan run over and crushed in a horrible manner. His entire body was mangled, only his head and one leg could be recognized as parts of a hu man being. The train stopped and the sad intelligence was taken bock to the depot, when the yard engine was brought out and the mangled body was taken to what is known as the dead-house near the depot, The unfortunate victim was about 00 years of age and has several children. Ho resides near the depot. He was a tailor by trade but worked around town as a day laborer, Accident. At tho third lock, about three milo above Miltllntown, last Sabbath after noon a party of young folks, more bent upon observing their own pleasure than upon observing the Sabbath and its wor ship, went out in the river in a boat. By some accident one of the party Miss Dorthy etta Warner, daughter of R. S. Warner fell overboard and was taken out of the water in an insensible condition. Whether she fell out by accident or was suddeuly attacked by spasm Is not known. She still lies so dangerously 111 that there is but little hope of her ultimate recovery. In. dependent. Another Candidate. The SbippenBburg "Nows"oflat week says: "We under stand that Gen. William Willis of New Bloomfleld, Perry county, is strongly urfed bv his friends to become a candidate for nomination for Congress in this District Mr. Willis Is both a gentleman and a schol ar, and if the XV th District has to be rep resented by a democrat, we say by all means elect him."

New potatoes as large as a walnut was woro brought Into our office last weok by Mr. George 8wartz. Fruit is about the only crop that now promises even an ordinary yield, and that bids fair to be very plenty. On Saturday last a resident of Lewistown employed on the railroad was run over by the cars near that place and killed. The "Valley Sentinel" at Shippensburcr has been purchased by a new firm and came to us again last week looking as natural as ever. " If you want to be cheated, patronize tramping peddlers.

Some (armors think the roads will soon cover as much as is left for cultivation. A house in Spring twp., occupied by l nomas Anderson was struck by ligbtning during the shower on Wednesday evening last, nut little damage was done. The remains of an infant was found in the attic of a houso in Altoona recently. and from appearances the child had bceu put there a year or two since.

A few years ago there stood In our midst a (air and lovely woman anticipating bright hopes for the future, but alas she Is now numbered with the silent sleepers of the dead ! For some time site has been the victim of that Insidious disease con sumption. Her sufferings, though often acute, she bore with Christian fortitude. She desired to live, but only for the snko of her husband and children. Just as the first mild breath of Spring had caressed her pale check, and the tiny floweret peered up its modest head for kindly recognition and admiration; when all nature seemed bursting Into life, this tenderly nurtured and cherished flower suddenly droops and dies. Although great ly atllicted for a long time, yet she with her family Indulged hopes of her recovery. Alas for human expectations! dispelled like the mists of the morn ing by the brightness of the sun. Yet we sorrow not as those who have no hope, we feel that our loss Is her gain, that she has but left a house on earth for one at the many mansions of the Bkles. After returning from a visit to the south, we again called to see her, and found her as usual suffering. but patient aud submissive. The languid smile of recognition as wo came Into her room, and the low weak tones of her voice as she said. " Oh I am so glad you have come home again," we knew then in after vears would be our sole memento of her. There was a still voice whispering to us (as we listened to her sweet tones of courteous greet ing) that but a few days would pass, and our hearts would be darkened with sorrow, our brains throb bing with the terrible meaning of the words " she is dead!" " Dead!" whisper the word softlyt let It echo deeper In our hearts, say it over and over ere you realize the truth and know that she Is gone. On the stairs her light familiar step has ceased to sound, and we who have so often met her lovely smile, and received her kind greeting, shall never again hear that sweet voice ; but the echo of those frail lost footsteps will ever sound sadly In our car. Oil how silently would we have greeted her when last we met, had we known that her foot was already upon the llrst step of that bright stair way leading to her home on high, and her eyes were gazing far above to that glorious door open- Ing to receive her. Alas It Is not given us to know this I There Is a picture pbotograpea ou our memory that time may soften but never wear away. The last look in life before she was eon- fined to her room her face so white aud pure her kind eyes fixed upon us, her hands crossed upon her breast to hold the shawl more closely around her : thus she stood in the doorway next ours. But the tone was sad that answered us, and the lips looked weary as she said, "I am so tired, I shall rest now my Auntie has come." But the Cold Water Cure brought no return of health to her cheek, and she came home more prostrated than when she left. She has gone from the loved one of her choice ; from the sweet voices of her chlldien i from the tender care of her little daugh. ter, all that rcmal ns to them is the memory of her true good heart. Through the hall rings a plain, tlve cry " Mamma, Mamma," and in the lovely eyes'of her child Is a searching lonely look, as if the lovely head was missing its wonted caress. No mother's arms will ever again fold the little brown head close to a loving heart, and soothe Its child ish griefs. No inothe's voice will ever again whisper " My precious Jennie, my darling Willie' and thus deepen the love light In her childrens eyes. Their yearning must ever shadow them, until time has softened the blow. They have lost a lov ing mother, one who was ever solicitous for their happiness and pleasure. We who met her as a stranger, yet became attached to her after a few months Intercourse. With a sad heart for her loss, and a sincere sympathy for her Invalid husband and motherless children, I oiler this as a tribute to her memory "Strangers Into life we came and .dying Is but going home."
