To all in tending to take out a life insurance policy, we say invest in tho Continental of New York. Tho general agent for this state is J. F. Eaton of Ilarrisburg, and ho not only represents a good company, but is the right kind of a man to do business with. Accident. On Wednesday last, Mr. John Huston of Carroll township was thrown from a horse rake and had several teeth knocked out and his arm badly hurt. Ae accident was caused by the shaft being so short that it drew from the holder, and dropping down scared the horse so that he started to run. Mr. Huston was thrown in front of tho rako and had not tho single tree bolt broke, bo that the horse got clear from the shafts he would have been much more seriously injured, as the teeth of tho rake would have caught him. Although the accident caused painful injury, Mr. Huston thinks he escaped very fortunately. V-Death From Loek-Jaw. On Wednesday last Mr. John L. Diven of Landisburg died from lock-jaw, tho disease originating from a bruised linger. The injury occurred nearly three weeks previous, and though tho hurt was apparently slight, the pain for a few minutes was intense. For a week after the injury Mr. Diven was around attending to his business, but com plained somewhat of a soreness in the cords of tho neck, but what is rather singular is that the wounded finger gave no further trouble after tho first few minutes when the pain ceased. Mr. Diven was an estima ble citizon and his death occasions a loss which the entire community share with the family and friends. Juniata Valley Cauip Meeting. The Ju niata 4 Valley Camp Meeting Association will hold their first annual Camp Meeting on their grounds, near Newton Hamilton, commencing on the Cth day of August and continuing for a period of ten days. Two hundred tents will be erected at once and every convenience will bo rendered thoso who will favor the project with their pat- . ronage. A; circular will bo issued stating all necessary information in regard to rent of tents aud board. Walking Hatch. On Tuesday morning, Mr. John II. Brooks, of Ilarrisburg, arriv ed at the "Bentz House," having accom plished the feat of walking from that city to this place for a wager of $500 that he could not accomplish the task in four hours. Mr. B. won the bet, having , walked the distance in 8 hours and 68J minutes. A number of persons accompanied the gentle man in vehicles. Carlitlt Herald. ' Sun Struck. A dispatch fom Dauphin to the State Journal on Wednesday last says : " An unknown man supposed to be from Elmira, New York, was sunstruck in the narrows below Dauphin, this after noon. He , was brought to this station where he died at 8. 80 p. m. He had on his person a ticket from Elmira, Now York to Washington, D. C. No name or trace of anything was found about him to identi fy his place of residence. He is now lying in the warehouse awaiting the arrival of the coroner from Ilarrisburg." Rewarded. The Ilarrisburg State Jour nal of the 6th inst says : The Ilarrisburg fire department, which responded so promptly to the call for help from Duncannon, a few days since, havo received through Mr. John Wister, of this city, a chock for 125.' presented by the citizens of Duncannon, in appreciation of valuable service rendered on the above occasion The Fourth. In this borough the day passed off in a pleasant and creditable manner. The Bunday Schools of tho Methodist and Presbyterian churches had pie-nics which were well attended, and ap peared to bo thoroughly enjoyed. The business places of the town were closed, and.no instances of drunkenness or rowdy ism wore seen on our streets. In Duncannon and in'. Newport, whiskey stirred up some little trouble which was happily quieted before any damage was done. At Marysvillo, a trouble originated among some of tho " Colored bredrou," who were there from Ilarrisburg, and one was shot in the leg and another badly bruised in tho head and breast. During the evening a storm passed over the lower end of this county, and over Dauphin county which did some damage. In this vicinity the storm did no damage, but cooled off the air in an grceablo man ner. in Duncannon. On last Tuesday afternoon, the stable in tho rear of tho Pennsylvania Ilotol at Duncannon, took Are from the sparks of a locomotivo, and before it was extinguished it extended to the hotel, which was occupied by John Shively, Esq. Fears were had of a general conflagration, and word was sent , to Ilarrisburg for aid which was promptly forwarded. Before the Ilarrisburg steam fire engine arrived, the Inside of the hotel was burned out, but by the aid of the steamer tho Are was kept from extending o the adjoining buildings. Most at the furniture was safely removed. There was an insurance of $4,800 on tho building, and $ 1,000 on the contents, iu tho Lebanon Mutual. The loss is estimated at 17,000. Tho proporty was owned by Messrs. Jones & Young. Duncannon has had more than a fair share of fires this year, and it seems as though they have all occurred from a neg lect of tho railroad, company to place spark airestcrs over theirlocomotives. A Bold Adventure. A young man nam ed Miles Gray performed a most daring feat, recently, on tho lino of the Northern Cen tral Railroad near Shamokin, which for boldness i.nd successful daring and prompt ness is certainly remarkable. A train with twenty loaded cars moving at a rapid speed struck a cow when the engine coupling broke, and the engineer and fireman under the impression that tho engino had left tho track, jumped to tho ground without shutting off the steam. Tho engine was going down grado and the speed increased until it was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour, at which speed it passed through Shamokin. Tho Sun bury passenger train coming toward tho fugitive locomotivo, was only a few miles distant, and a painful apprehension fixed itself upon tho minds of thoso who wit nessed the accident that a collision was probable and a consequent loss of life. At this juncture Miles Gray, came to the rescue. As the engino dashed along he grasped at one of tho iron supports and almost simultaneously sprang on the loco motive. Three minutes before the passen ger train arrived ho succeeded in bringing tho engine to a stand still. York Paper. In Trouble. The county Commissioners of Mifflin county have got into trouble. While tho Supreme Court was Bitting at Ilarrisburg, they granted a mandamus against tho Commissioners of that county, directing them to erect a bridge across tho, Juniata river at Nowton Ham ilton. This order they neglected to obey, and an attachment for contempt was issuod against them, returnable in Philadelphia. Last week they were produced in Court by tho sheriff of Mifllin, and failing to justify their conduct wero each fined $300, being allowed until October 1st in which to pay it or show good cause why it should bo re- remitted, the Chief-Justice remarking that, as they wero doubtless considered as good citizens, they would always find it more to their advontogo, to yield implicit obedience to tho law than by seeking all sorts of shifts by which to evade it. So it seems I there is law even for county Commission ers, and those who drew more salary than the law allows, as was the case in this county would do well to remember that fact. j. Celebration at Sunbury. Tho celebra tion of the centennial of the ' borough of Sunbury and our Independence, ou the 4th wa a grand success. From tun to fifteen thousand persons were present. The reg ular and extra trains on the five railroads centering there came crowded with visi tors. The Ilarrisburg Fire Department was represented by three companies, Wil liamsport by two, Lock Haven by two, Selinsgove by one all guests of the Sun bury Steam Fire Company. Military com panies from Williamsport, Mount Carmel, Locust Gap, Lewisburgand Shamokin were present in full force- Numerous secret organizations were present, numbering in procession over two thousand. A fine dis play of fire work was tho event of Use evening. " ''. ' To Whom It may concern. ' ' Fatrbury, 111., Oct. 4th.
