Probable Fatal Accident. A lamp con
taining Hose burning fluid exploded at the
Dauphin co. alms-liouso on Monday night,
and burned Mrs. Lightncr. who has been
an attendant at the institution for ten or
twelve years. The lamp fell from the
socket as she was placing it on a table, and
breaking, her clothing was soon in flames.
Her hands, neck and arms are severely
burned, and littlo hope is entertained of
her recovery. The woman has since died.
A Railroad Meeting. A railroad to this
borough is acknowledged by every one to
be an absolute necessity, and yet it will
never be made, if each individual waits for
some one else to do the work. At the pres
ent time there is a good offer mado to the
citizens of this vicinity and one which will
insure a railroad if persons here will do
their share towards it. A comparatively
small amount of money is required to be
subscribed at this end of the route, or above
here when responsible parties agree to seo
that the balance of the money is raised and
the road bnilt. A meeting is therefore to
be held in the Court House, on Wednesday
evening of this week, to see what amount
can be raised, and to take such other steps
as may be necessary, to further this pro
ject. It is hoped that every one who has
an interest in the matter will be present and
will come with the determination to do
his share in the work required, when the
success of the much desired road will bo
made certain, will you come?

The Inauguration. The day for the
inauguration of Gov. llartranft, was very
unpleasant, and yet quite a number weut
to Harrisburg, from this vicinity. The
trains from every direction came loaded all
day Monday and Tuesday forenoon.
Tho procession was tbe finest that has
beeu had on a similar occasion for years,
The number of military organizations in
line was about twenty-eight embracing
about 2,800 men the number of bands 23
and the number of soldiers' orphaua be
tween 700 and 800. In the nggregate about
4,000 men participated in the parade.
Among the bands were three of tho most
celebrated In the country the Marine of
Washington, Flak's Ninth regiment band
and Beck's, of Philadelphia. ,
Among those present from this county,
were the scholars from the orphan school at
Loysvillo., The boys in their blue uniforms
appeared remarkably well, but would) have
looked more comfortably had they been pro
vided with overcoats. On thoir return they
mado a parade in this borough preceded by
their drum corps, aud went through with a
short drill, in an exceedingly creditable
manner. ' ' ' '
A
Western Hermit He Proves to be
Bannister Gibson, of Perry County, Pu.
The following letter which refers to Ban
nister Gibson, son of Francis Gibson, Esq.,
nephew of Gen. George Gibson, - will be
read with Interest by many persons in this
county. Bannister Gibson bus been absent
from this county for about 20 years, and
at the present time he is again among the
Indians, information to that effect having
recently boeu received. . ' .
" On the 1st day of June, 1870, I began
the United States census in tho 84th sub
division of the northern district of Illinois,
for which I had been appointed Assistant
U. S. Marshal, said sub-division being situ
ated in Rock Island county. Of the many
strange and interesting phases of human
life with which I was necessarily brought
in contact during the progress of my enu
meration, it is not my intention now to
write, but one incident came under my ob
servation, tbe first day of my work that
may hot be uninteresting to your many
readers. While crossing what is known as
the Muscatine slough, in Drnry tbwiudilp,
I eame upon a man sitting by tho roadside,
and upon making inquiry as to his place of
residence, the following information was
obtained, which, though it savors strongly
of romance, is no doubt in the main points
strictly true. The man's name is Bannister
Gibson ; he was born in Perry county, Pa.
His parents were wealthy and well connect
ed, and the son enjoyed unusual facilities
of education. In the spring of T554 he
moved to the State of Illinois, and worked
at his trade in Rock Island county. Being
a millwright, he assisted in the erection of
several mills in tho county. In tho year
1800 he moved to the state of Minnesota,
and on the breaking out of the Indian war
he enlisted in the state militia for the pro
tection of the frontier against the " depre
dations of the savages, loan engagement
with them he was shot down and left for
dead on the field, and was bo reported by
the commanding officer. Gibson, though
shot through the head and shoulder was
not killed, but was mado prisoner by the
Indians, who transferred him from one
tribe to another, using him in the capacity
of a servant, and in any way that they
could make him useful to thorn. After
many weary months of captivltjf1. he was
sent to Alaska, in which region of intense
cold, and many hundred miles away from
any white settlement, he succeeded in mak
ing his escape, and after many perilous es
capes from death by wild beasts and star
vation, he succeeded in reaching the route
of emigration to California, to which state
he went ; but being unable to work at his
trade on account of the lameness of his
hand,or to engage iu any other employment
that would support him, he came to the
conclusion to return to his native State.
He traveled slowly. Seveial years were
passed among tho mountains and in cross
ing the plains, during which time he lived
in true Indian Rtyle, mixing with them
freoly, and learning to spottk thoir lan-
gunge, ana becoming much attaclieu to
their mode of lifo. In the fall of 1809 he
arrived at Muscatine, on tho Mississippi
river, and crossing at that point took up
his residence in a hollow maple tree on the
river bottom, whero ho spent the winter,
subsisting on musk rat and mink, and from
the sale of the furs getting some other
necessities of lifo. It seems strange that a
man who had once enjoyed the comforts of
life should be willing to endura the priva
tion and hardships of such a home ; yet
Gibson seemed to bo perfectly satisfied
with his condition, and showed but littlo
disposition to seek for a change. In the
spring the high water drove him from his
domicile in the tree, aud ho took up his
abode in a straw stack on the farm of
Henry Murdock, where he was staying
when I saw him. He spends : most of his
time in fishing, in which employment he is
quite successful, and in exchange for his
fish receives many little articles, provisions,
clothing and an occasional newspaper from
the farmers, among whom he is regarded
with much favor. Gibson has been a fine
looking man, six feet iu height, with a
pleasant expression of countenanco, and
pleasing address : is well informed on all
subjects of general interest, and would, no
doubt, if once more surrounded by the re
fining influences of civilized life, become a
useful citizen. But such has been the in
fluence of the wild life he has led for the
last ten years, that it is doubtful if he will
ever return to his friends, who he thinks
believo him to be dead, as he has never
written to them. At the time of my meet
ing with him ho promised to write roe a
sketch of his life for publication, but as I
have never heard from him since, 1 give
these few items as nearly as I can remem
her them, and should they ever meet the
eye of any of his friends in the East, I will
cheerfully give them all tho information in
my power." v
Geo. M. Kem.eb, Asst. Marshal.

I!ow Is This! The following which we
copy from a Cumberland Co., paper is not
very complimentary to thecitzens of Perry,
Let ub build the railroad which this Xewville
"fellow" thinks will save our peeple the
trouble of seeking a market over the moun
tains where evidently they aro not properly
appreciated :
" Pehky Dknizehb. Tho recent good
sledding has brought a comparatively new
and strange race of people from the " fast
nesses" of Perry county. They are known
by their geneial squalled look, and the
peculiar commodities which they deal in
The team generally consists of a horse
whose bones stand out in sharp outline
with a good back ground, hitched to a sled
of the most primitive constructure, loaded
generally with pine knots, hoop poles, bark
or somn other production of the forest.
The driver can be known by the intense
curiosity with which lie viows everything
Easy transit bring these fellows to a better
market. Wbeu Perry gets a railroad, we
will see no more of them. Perry at present
is but the frontier or Cumberland county,

: ' Duncanhon, Jan. 18, 167!!,
Mr. Editor. Tlie topio of discussion now
is, LicotiHe or no License. Bliall we.or shall
we not, endure the traillo in intoxicating
liquors? Are we as an' iuUilliccnt God
fearing people going to cast our ballots i
favor of this infamous business ? All voter
will bave an opportunity of expressing
tlieir opinions . at the ballot box uoxt
March, and we sincerely hope that nil will
vote In accordance with ' the dictates of
conscience. . The sky looks clear mid not
withstanding the whiskey dealers' money,
(from what we learn from dilli rcnt parts of
the state from private sources) there is no
rloulit there will be an overwhelming ma
jority in March in favor of closing the sink;
of iniquity.
. A great many are made to believe by the
dealers that eertajn rights are to b wrested
from them. ' What are' those rights we
would ask ? Are they the right to get
drunk and lie in the gutters, and causing
their friends to' blush with shame? Or
the right to spend for drink the money
earned by hard labor, in order to keep those
who are too lazy to work, in ease and
luxury.
' The liible says : " Woe unto him that
putteth the bottle to his neighbor's lips,and
maketh him drunken also," and certain
ly God will cnll those who by selling liquor,
lead so many to temporal and eternal de
struction, to a fearful account. 1
An ohiection advanced by some is that
there will be no hotel for travelers to put
np at, that It will not pay to keep hotol
unless liquor is sold in connection with
it.
Tho traveling public need have no fear
that such will be the case, as the profits of
the businoss without the side of liquor are
large enough to iuduco many to engago
in it.
tj We are going to have a paper," These
ire the words that greet you at every cor
ner. It Is to be called the ' Uuiicannon
Hccord," and will be published by Mr.
Houck formerly of Mechanicsburg, we
wish him success.

VThe ice has broken in tbo Juniata and
the river is rising rapidly.
V The puddler's strike is at nn end, they
resumed work last Wednesday morning.
Notk Tin nlvivfl cmmnniilratinn was received too

Jmiliitu County. From the Juniata
county papers we copy the following:
A young man named Jacob Bear, a resi
dent of Tuscarora township, was in Miftlin
on last Friday with a sled and two horses.
In the evening when on his way home he
attempted to cross Tuscarora Creek, about
a mile below McCoysville. The ice broke,
and he was drowned, as were also the
horses. Nothing, however, was known of
the distressing ciroumstance until Saturday
morning, when the body of theuntortunate
man and the dead horses were discovered
among the broken ice.
The residonce of Mr. Joseph Towsy, of
Turbett township, was entirely consumed
by fire about 0 o'clock on Thursday evening
last. It is supposed the Are originated
from a defective flue. His household goods
were all burned, as the Ore had gained too
much headway before it was discovered to
remove any goods from the house. The
loss falls heavily upon Mr. T. as he loses
all his earthly possessions. Let a helping
hand be extended toward this unfortunate
and nocdy family.
About half-past five o'clock nn Tuesday
evening a sad accident occurred near rat-
terson, whereby vv imam jrkeppcu, one ot
the hands engaged iu digging away an em.
bankmcntfor the Railroad company, north
of the town, was instantly killed. It ap
pears, from what we could learn of this sad
affair, that Koppell was undermining the
embankment and before he was aware of
it the ground fell on him, instantly killing
him. As tho bank fell in he was heard to
give a deep groan, and when taken out the
vital spark had fled. He commenced work
ing for the Company about the Oth of last
December, lie came here Horn .Mount
Holly, J?a., where he was previously em.
ployed. Ho was a single man, aged about
:so years and a German by birth.
A Deer In Savllle Township.
J ' Eshcol, Perry co., Pa., 1
. ' - - - January litth, 1873.
: Editor of The Times : To-day, about 2
p.m., a large deer put in its appearance in
front of, aud a few rods from the mansion
of Mr. Henry Bixler. Mr. . Bixler's dog
caught and threw down the buck.- and Mr.
liixler and Mr. Delancy "took him up ten
derly, placed him on a sled and conveyed
Iilra to sir. jjciaticy's stable, in a lew
minutes the "Eshcol Fur Company" was
on the ground to see that his buck-ship
should have justice.- , The surgeon of the
company, " Dr. Hornbook," assisted by
private "lilow-uorn, made examination
of tho prisoner, and reported that three
bullets bad made tbe same number of deer
wounds, one in the left side of the face,
one in the left ear, and the third inproprior
tphinchUr anni. (Doctors know.) The
wounds were fresh. "Capt. Steuben" kept
at a distance, tearing a sudden rite in aeer,
and a corresponding depression' in ipiril$.
liy and by six hounds and two hunters
came from the north, following in the
tracks of the buck. The hunters claimed
the deer wondered If they could lead it
home; but notwithstanding a considerable
amount of noisy "hifalutin," Mr. Dclancy
didn't scare worth a cent; and the deer
didn't lead. Presently "Capt." and "Bobs"
of the Ickesbnrg infantry were at the scene
of excitement, and pledged their military
to prevent tho recapture uf tho buck
Some time after dark the deer was sur
rounded by admirers, who, "good-Sumaii-
tan"-like, wore ready to pour in oil and
wino. Tell "Hairy Fatty" (now of your
town) that the patient is doing well.
