On Friday, May 2d, the Sheriff will expose at publio sale at the Court House in this borough, the mill property, boat yard &c., situate in the borough of New Buffalo, seized as the property of John Forry. 1 The New Pcnslou Act. The following are among the provisions of the new pen sion act. As there are a numbor of persons in this county, who are entitled to pensions, this paragraph may be of interest to.thom : AH persons who have lost -a leg above the knee, and are bo disabled thereby that they cannot use an artificial limb, shall bo rated in the second class, and receive twenty-four dollars per month. All persons having lost the hearing of both ears, to receive thirteen dollars per month. Sec tion five provides that the rate of eighteon dollars per month may bo proportionally divided for any degree or disability estab lished for which tlio second section makes no provision. The new law also adds two years to the limitations under which claims may be established. Two Runaways. On Thursday morn ing while Ex. Sheriff Rinohart, was driv ing near this borough, tho spindle of his sulky broke, throwing tho Sheriff out, but fortunately not doing him any injury, Tho horse ran iuto this borough leaving a demoralized, sulky a short distancs from where tho accident occurred. After running a short distance the an imal encountered a horse and buggy driven by Mrs. Singleton Slieaffor, which frighten, ed her horse and caused him to run away, Mrs. S. jumped out and though badly friehtenod was not hurt. Tho Shoriff tried to stop her horse,but he slued off and catch. ins the buzur into the fence twisted off tho shafts, broke the cross bar, and left for home, leaving a badly wrecked buggy behind him. lron Ore. Many splendid deposits of iron ore are found in this county. Be tween this borough and Duncannon the D. B. & L. Railroad will pass in close prox imity to several valuable tracts of ore land, and the building of this road will speedily bring this ore into market. Men representing the iron oro interest are now looking after this land, and one good lease has already boon made. When the grading of the road has once been com menced more of these contracts will be made, and we think there is no doubt but what the iron business alone would make the road a paying investment. It seems to . us that a proper regard to their own interest would prompt every citizen in this portion of the county, to hand in their subscrip tions to the stock of the D. B. & L. R. R., and thus hasten the time when the wealth now lying idle will be made productive The prospects for the success of the entor piizo were never so good as at present, aud -all that is needed to make success a certain ty, is the united action of those who will be benefited. Our Railroad. Tho importance of push ing forward the building of the D. B. & L. It. R. cannot be too strongly impressed upon every man In this county. In the Perry County Democrat of last wook,,we find an exoelleut article, on tho subjoct, which we copy for the benefit of our readers who own land in this vicinity, aud the up per part of the county, and who often ask what benefit will farmers derivo from the making of this road: " A railroad will bring many of them more additional wealth than Uioy now pos sess. Some who are now comparatively poor would iiud thomsolves iu comfortable circumstances when the road is made. The causes that operate in one community to advance the value of property will certain ly not fail to produce similar results in oth er neighborhoods. A farm that is worth $2,001) to-day, that can be made worth f ,000 in one year hence by tho expendi ture of 1,000, is certainly a good financial operation. Like causes mutt produce like' results. Then why should men stand in the way of their own pecuniary benefit ? It is a very short-sighted policy that will not permit the owner of a farm worth $2,000 to invest $1,000 to enhance its value to a higher figure than a life-lime of toil and care could bring it. The project has now beuu pushed to that point which must determine its success or failure. On the 1st of May a President and a Board of Directors will be chosen. To vote at that election and to show your interest iu the enterprise your money must' he tho evi dence. Without liberal subscriptions from all who will be benefitted, the road oanuot be graded. To hold back now to soe what jour neighbor will do is a most certain method of killing the project. All must come promptly forward with their means. Our friends in Duneaunon should wake up. To them it is a matter of great importance. It would double the trade of that borouuh before a train would pass over the road. 1 he work or construction . would be no small item to the business men of that bor ough, for the grading would commence there. Most of the money expended in making the road-bed would be handled by them in supplying the wants of contractors and their hands. And afte the road would be constructed, with their free bridge aoross the mouth of the Juniata, the travel that would be diverted to that place from be tween the two rivers, en route to the county seat, would largely compensate thorn for tholr Investment in this road. We are sur prised to see the lack of interest they mani fest in this enterprise. If we had as practi cable route to Newport, the enorgy of the people of that enterprising borough would show a marked contrast. They would per mit no such opportunity to pass unimprov ed. Hut not only tho people of Duncannon and Bloomficld will be greatly advantaged by this railroad. Every man who owns an acre of land along the route will be bene fitted." And we might with truth, add that every man between Duncannon and the Round Top, would receive more or loss advantago from the making of this road. The Zitzer Trial. Albert Zitzer, aged about sixteen years, who iu Carlislo a few months ago killed bis fathor, Dr. Charles F. Zitzer, has been convicted of manslaugh ter, with a recommendation to tho mercy of the court, by a Cumberland county jury, who were out from Friday evening -until late on Monday night, before returning a verdict. The Carlisle Herald gives the following particulars of the homicide brought out by the testimony submitted at tho trial: About seven o'clock on the evening of January 25, Albert Zitzer, the accused, being slightly intoxicated, went to the brewery of Mr. Krause and called for a quart of beer. Mr. Krause, having re ceived instructions from Albert's parents not to furnish their son any beer, refused to give him any. Albeit denied that his perents had given any instructions con cerning him, aud in order to solve, the diffi culty Mr. Krause agreed to go with him to his father's office. Dr. and Mrs. Zitzer were in the office when they arrived, and Mrs. Zitzer, when asked whether she had givon directions to Mr. Krause not to fur nish her son any liquor, immediately re plied that she had and that if everybody would act lis well as Mr. Krause did Albert would be a different boy. Dr. Zitzer then began cursing his wife and son and pulling off his overcoat rushed on Albeit and closed with him in conflict. Mr. Krause, with the assistance of Mr. Bixlcr, who happened to be in tho office, succeeded in separating the combatants and con ducted tho doctor from tho room. A few minutes later they again came together and again were separated. A few min utes after this Albert was in the dining room showing some friends how his father had Bhoved the chairs around in. the office. His father was attracted by the noise and came iu with an iron pestle in his hand and cursing Albert drove him through tho entry iuto the office. The boy got behind the counter, and whilst his father was men acing him with nn iron pestle he seized a mortar and struck him on the upper left part of the forohoad. Two short cuts wore made in the skin, but the skull was not fractured. Tho doctor was not felled by the blow but shortly afterwaids became sick and died on Wednesday, February 5, one week after the above recited occur rence. Albert is sixteon years of age aud about five feet ten iuches in height. It was in evidence that on the afternoon of the day on which the difficulty occurred Dr. Zitzer took Albert to a barrel of cider, mixed with gin, which he had in the house, and disregarding the protests of Mrs. Zitzer gave him five glasses full of it. The counsel for the prisoner tried to show, firstly, that Dr. Zitzer did not dio from the blow he received from bis son, but from other and extraneous causes. Secondly, that the blow which hie son gave was given in self-defense; this point, if proved, would make the deed an excusa ble homicide. Thirdly, that Dr. Zitzer had wilfully given his young son strong drink and in consequence was alone chargeable with the results of his son's conduct. Four doctors attended Dr. Zitzer during his sickness. Three of these gave their opinion that ho died from the effects' of the blow he received on the head, but that his constitution bad previously been very much shattered; the fourth gavo his opinion that the blow was not the cause of death, but that the doctor's health, impaired by hard driuk and exposure, had gradually and naturally declined, and that the blow had not appreciably hastened the event. A. B. Bharpe and W. F. Saddler, Esqs., conducted .the prosecution aud C. E. Mag lauchlin, Esq., defended the prisoner. The -court sentenced tho dofendsint to confinement iu the county jail for 30 days and to give bond to keep the peace for 5 years. Church Notices.

Zoisler, of Carlisle, retired in his usual health, but in an hour or so afterwards had a Btroke of paralysis from which he never became con scious. The deceased had resided in this town for many years, was a prominent business man, being the proprietor ot the mineral water and sarsaparilla manufacto ry, largo quantities of which were sold in this and adjoining counties. One day last week, Mrs. Germier, an aged widow lady residing on East Louther street, attempted to put an end to hor life by swallowing a very large dose of muriat ic acid, a poisonous compound, that bad been used by her son-in-law iu burning out horse's hoofs. She was discovered a short time after swallowing tho acid, and medi cal aid was summoned, but it is hardly probable that she can live. Tho stoward of the Cumberland County Alms house was tried last week for neglect of duty in reference to the patients sent to the hospital during the prevalence of small pox, last winter and was found guilty. lJrieriteitiH.
