Tho noise of the rushing steam alarmed some persons, but no harm was done except losing the steam, and the afternoon's work. Fatal Railroad Accident. On Wednes day afternoon, Mr. Frederick Hagar, aged about 88 gears, was run over near the depot at York and received such) injuries as to cause death in an hour after the accident . It appears in making up the train for that place, a car was run alone on the track, before which he attempted to pass, but being aged he could not get out of the way. The car struck and threw him on the track ' with the sad consequence above related. The State Superintendent of Common Schools has invited the County Superin tendents of tho State to meet him and other ofllcers of the school department in private conference to talk over and settle all educational questions which it is their duty to consider. The counties of Juniata Dauphin, Blair, Bedford, Clearfield, Hunt ingdon, Mifflin, Perry, Cumberland, York, Adams, Franklin and Fulton will meet at the school department in IlarrUburg, on Tuesday, June 8, at 10 o'clock in the morn ing. Fire. Yesterday afternoon, about half past one o'clock, an alarm of fire was sounded, which was caused by the burning of a dwelling house on the other side of Sherman creek, in the locality known as "Boston," belonging to the Iron Company and occupied by Mr. Samuel Hamilton. It is supposed' the fire was caused by a spark from a passing locomotive, which ignited the roof, and had soon gained such a headway as to render all efforts to save the house unavailing, whereupon the furni ture and all the other movable contents of the burning building were quickly and safoly removed. Buckets " were freely brought into requisition, and by the use of these and the hand engine, tho adjoining buildings were saved from destruction. We did not learn whether the house (which was totally consumed) was insured or not. Duncannon Record of 8th inst. R. R, Directors' Meeting. As we go to press the board of directors for tho Dun cannon fflooniueld & Loysvilio If. It., are having a meeting. To-day, we suppose a Treasurer and Secretary will be elected, and steps taken to secure the services of a com' petent engineer. If the citizens of the county will properly second the exertions of the officers of the company, it will be only a short time before contracts for the grading of the road will be given-out. We hope that those who have not already sub scribed to tho stock of the company will see the importance of doing so at once. The subscription book is now open and we earnestly urge the citizens of the county to come forward how, so that there may be no delay in getting to work. Enough bark and timber has gone to waste in this county during the past ten years to have paid the entire cost of graU ing this road from Duncannon to Loysville, With this road in operation, the county will send each year, thousands of dollars worth of these two articles to market that otherwise will be of no value. In addition to this we have iron in large quantities, and now shall we have a rail road to make this wealth available or not? This itl a qucftion. bettor answered by actions, than by words. Will you act ? Man Killed on the Railroad. The Slate Journal of the 7th inst., says: About 8.15 p. m., yesterday, while the mail train eastward-bound of the P. It. It. was at a point equi-distant between Marysvllle and Pur dix, a man was observed coming up the main track, right in the face of the locomo tive. The engineer gave the usual danger signal, but in spite of the warning the man kept on his way and was struck by tho en gine and thrown from the track. The train was immediately stopped, and the man picked up, but be survived his inju ries only about ten minutes. He had one of his legs broken, and had a deep gash on the head, aud bad several severe bruises. It appears ho was a strolling mender of v. umbrellas, aud his tools, stock, &o., were scattered about promiscuously. He was apparently, forty years of age, and most likely under the influence of liquor when injured. He was taken to Marysville, where an inquest was held over bis remains, Wa did not learn the nature of tho verdict rendered by the coroner's jury. Conrt Proceedings. The regular May term of court convened on Monday of last week. Judges Junkin, Baker, and Stroup on the bench. ' The attendance was not very large owing to the backwardness of the season, and as a consequence the' farmers wore too busily engaged to leave their business simply for the purpose of attending court. A great deal of miscellaneous business was disposed of Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday morning at 0 o'clock a jury was empan nelled to try the case of Sarah Ann Weber and her minor children, against the Penn sylvania Rail Road company, for the killing of her husband by said Kail Road company, near Marysville, this county, on August 28th, 18C9, and which was tried at August Term of 1871, and a verdict then rendered in Mrs. Weber's favor for $2,500. An ap peal was then taken by tho Rail Road Co., to the Supreme Court, who after a review thereof awarded a venire denovo, on a de fect in the evidence that had been admitted by the court below, hence a second trial. This case occupied the attention of the Court for two days, and .was very ably argued by Barnett & Smiley, for the plff. and Mclntire & nail for the Rail Road Co. The jury after being out some length of tjme rendered a verdict in favor of the plff. for $4,100.00. Christian Boyer vs. Samuel Nobs, ad ministrator of Israel Fritz.

A correspondent from Lykens, sends us the following: Things have been very quiot here for a long time, the works have been stopped for some months, but will start on Monday next. Last Tuesday every thing was in readiness to start, when the first cars that were lot down, (which were now ones) were found to be too high to pass down the slope, and thoy were obliged to postpone the opening of the works, until the slope should be repaired. A son of Uriah Fraunce, while amusing himself by jumping from the top of a foundation into a cellar, on Tuesday last, broke his leg. At last accounts he was doing well. On the first of this month the citizens of Williamstowb were quite excited by a fire breaking out in Dr. Mattis, barn. The fire burned briskly consuming all the con tents of the building, and spreading to a furniture store close by, totally destroying it. Had there been a high wind the work of destruction would have been far greater, but as it was, the flames were stayed. The loss is estimated to be over $3000. Juniata County. From tho MifHintown papers of last week, we copy tho following: To the Honorable the Judires of the Court of Quarter Heaaloua of Juiiiata oouuty, Hutu of Pennsylvania: The Grand Inquest of said county would respectfully report that an inspection of the Court House has counselled them that it is unlit for the accommodation of per sons having business to transact in the sev eral Courts, and also unfit for a proper transaction of business ; that tho building is in a dilapidated condition, the vaults in which the publio records are kept are en tirely insecure, the offices are ill arranged and the Court room entirely too small to accommodate the citizens of tho county. that such complaints have long been known to and mado by the citizens of the county, We therefore recommend that the County Commissioners be directed by the said lion orable Court to alter tho Court House, that the Court room shall be on the second floor, and the publio offices on the first floor, and that grand and petit jury rooms, witness, attorney and judges rooms be provided and properly located after tho modorn style of Court Houses, and lor the foretrolne; pur pose we further recommend the Court House be enlarged and added to. Also, two or three of the "prisoners' rooms in tho jail are unfit for prisoners to be confined in. i Also, that the noith-east cornor of the Court House grounds, whore the oounty stable stood, is open and without any fence, and the borough ordinance prohibits the re-erection of the stable, that then, in that cose, a fenoe like the one standing around the rest of the publio ground be ex tended from tho termination around to the Ml wall. Also, mat ine water closets ue punned and thoroughly cleansed and kept in good condition for the accommodation and use of persons in attendance upon business at Court. Witness the Inquest this 80th day of April, A. D., 187H. JOHN DIVEN, Foreman. All applications for Tavern Licenses at the late Term of Court wore Bummarily disposed of by Judge Junkin, who said, "that the citizens of Juniata by a large majority had taken this prerogative out of the hands of the Court, and hence the ap plications could not be considered."

It is supposed that they will not find it flgTeeable in the counties where the sale of liquor Is prohibited, and will, therefore, give the benefit of their presence to tho other sort." We hope their fears may prove true. Elovendoor in one troop, probably awaro of the game law in their favor at this time of year, came down Beatty's knob into the open fields some ten days or so ago, per forming all kinds of antics, such as run ning, jumping fences,&o. An eye witness, who watched them about half an hour, de scribes it as one of the prettiest scenes he ever laid eyes on, the deer being as frol icsome as young colts. At one time eight came marching down the field abreast. On Thursday the body of a man was found floating down the Susquehanna in tho vicinity of Rockville by several railroad hands on a train. ' They communicated thoir discovery to a party, who procured a boat and brought the body to shore. Our informant, was unable to give us any fur ther particulars who the man was or un der what circumstances he was drowned. Ho had evidently been in tho water some weeks and from his dress was probably a miner, or employed around iron works. Church Notices,, Reformed Church Preaching at 2 AP. M. on Sunday next.
