Officer Jacobs of the first -district, York, Pa., while making his rounds ou Friday evening last, discovered in the Lutheran Grave yard, the dead body of a malo child, about four days old, neat ly dressed in white clothing, with marks of violence on its person, which without doubt caused its death. A Liquor Case. The McVeytowu Tem perance Committee, Messrs. Bortcl, Roth rock, McClellan, West, Mc Williams, Neice, Wm. Mackliu and Stackpole, a few days -ago made information against E. Robinson hotel keeper, and his bartender, Mr. Tyler, for selling liquors without license, and the latter, having failed to obtain bail, now lies in the county jail, to await trial at August Term. Robinson gave bail for his ppearance. Found Dead. On Thursday morning last, Mr. David Thompson, a resident of Carroll twp., was found dead in his stable. He bad gone from the house a few minutes previous to put the gears on his horse for plowing, and had just put tho collar on the animal, when appearances indicated that he had fallen and died instantly. Mr. T. had just eaten a hearty breakfast, aud was apparently in his usual health, and the cause of his death is unknown. The de ceased was aged about 05 years. Tlre In Duncannon. On last Tuesday afternoon the stable owned by Dr. Jos. Swartz, and occupied by Wm. Peuuell as a livery stable, took Are and was speedily consumed. All the horses were got safely out except one owned by John Shively, Esq., which was burned up. There was also a large quantity of hay and grain, and a number of sets of harness destroyed. The wind was very high at the time and only the great exertions of the firemen and the citizens saved the surrounding prop ' erty. The building was insured for $700. Narrow Guogo Road. The enrollment tax on the Newport and Shermans Valley Narrow Guage R. R. has been paid, and now those engineering the enterprise are promising to raise the money to secure the charter. We hope they may not only suc ceed in raising the requisite .amount, but enough to build the road, aS this county needs all the rail road facilities it can get. This is a fact properly appreciated by the directors of the Duncannon, Bloomfleld and Loysville Rail Road Company,' who are now endeavoring to secure the subscriptions required so as to place the grading of their road which is to be the same guage as the Pennsylvania Central under contract this season. "; ' ' - A Growler. We give place in another column to a .communication from "A Read er," who seems to be tired of coming to Bloomfleld, though we hope he has not been compelled to attend conrtfor any fault of his. We think he will wait a long while for an opportunity to vote on the subject he refers to. In theV meantime, we presume the County Commissioners will spend what money they consider actually necessary, aud no more. The present prospects indi cate however, that "A Reader" and other persons too can ere long have a chance to visit Bloomfleld without "dragging through the mud or jolting over the stones." Fire at Rockvllle. The extensive steam tannery of Messrs. Forney, Felty & Co., located at Rockvllle, was destroyed by fire between one and two o'clock Wednesday morning, and a large stock of leather.bark, &c, was also destroyed. .The following re the insurances upon the property : In the Farmer's Mutual, of York, $1,000 ; Pottsville Mutual, $3,000 ; Allen and East Pennsboro, Cumberland county, $2,000 i Alps, of Er ie, $2,000. Horse Killed. On Monday of lost week a horse attached to a spring wagon ran away in the lower end of Harrisburg, and reaching the railroad the animal proceeded along the track until the Iron bridge crossing the Paxton was reached. There the horse fell and was . suspended over the side of the bridge, when the harness was cut arid the animal dropped into the creek and was taken out dead. The horse was valued at over $200.

The following preamblo and resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Board of Commissioners : Whereas, ' The ordinary expenses of the county are increasing with each succeeding year ; nnd, whereas, by reason of special legislation, instigated by plivato citizens, compelling the County Commissioners to build bridges, &c. ; nnd whereas, tho ex penses of the coming year, 187it, will bo extraordinary in this character, the indebt edness of the county is largo, and the in terest annually arising thereon is consider able, and whereas, the commissioners are desirous of reducing the indebtedness of the county at as early day as possiblo,there fore, Iieenlved, That the county tax for the year 1873 be laid at 10 mills, or 1 per cent, on the dollar. Mistaken for a Horse Thief. Last week, a well known citizen of Mifflin township, whose name we withhold, concluded to take a trip to Harrisburg for tho purpose of disposing of a horse. So, taking an early start, he arrived at the Susquehanna at a correspondingly early hour, and after feeding his animal, he found he had more oats than he cared to carry, and carelessly throw it away. This act was considered suspicious by an observer, and the unsus pecting horseman was forthwith "spotted" and followed. Reaching the city, he offer ed the horse to a party for $ 140 which was refused ; and shortly after offered him to another party for $110 and made a sale. All this had been noted down by the suspi cious party.and the evidence appearing con clusive, our Mifilin friend was unceremon iously arrested, taken to the Mayor's office, and called upon to account for the circum stances. Being loth to kavo his situation known to any one, it was somo timo before he consented to telegraph to Newville, and by a mistake in the name, the operator at. Newville disclaimed any knowledge of tiro man, which made matters rather em barrassing for our friend. It was at last proposed to allow some one to accompany bim to Newville, where we are pleased to say the unfortunate gentleman found a host of friends to vouch for his legal claim to the horse. The affair has, however, created no little amusement at the expense of the gentleman from Mifilin, who will hereafter, probably, take a less suspicious manner to dispose of his horses. Oakville Enterprise An Unexpected Arrival. The Sclins grove Timet of the Oth Inst says : On Saturday evening last a serious affair occurred in this place, the facts of which are about as follows i Eemer Fisher had gone from home on pretence of being ab sent for several weeks, but, unexpectedly to his wife, he returned late on Saturday evening, when he took her and S. P. Wen rich by surprise. He shot at Wenrich, the ball grazing his face, after which they clinched. Wenrich used a knife and made several extended cuts across Fisher's back, cutting his clothes antl also cutting him in the side and under his chin, and finally made his escape without hat or boots, lie went to a neighbor's and borrowed hut and boots and then went to a Justice and asked to be bound over, his brother becoming, bis security. On Tuesday, however,be was taken to Middloburg and lodged in jail, . Struck by Lightning. A raftsman nam ed Caldwell,from Potter county, was struck by lightning at Marietta, on Saturday night the 10th Inst., under these singular circumstances. He had one of bis hands out of the top of tho cabin to ascertain whether it was raining, and at the same time the lightning struck a tree under which the raft was lying. The electric fluid passed down the tips of his fingers up his arms and down his right leg and our into the river, knocking him senseloss. A red or seared mark is visible, says our In formant, where the electricity ran along his body. He will recover, it is thought. Sudden Death. Mrs. Annie Gillesplne, of, Chambersburg died suddenly at the res idence of Judge Ahl, in York county, on Thursday morning, where she had remain ed since the funeral of Judge Ahl, which she had come to attend. She was a sister of Mrs. Abl. Her death was very suddon and unexpected. ' She was 60 years of age. The Robinson House Restaurant Is fur. dishing lots of people with Ice Cream aud refreshments.

R., while attempting to couple his train, at Patterson, was caught between the dead wood . of tho cars and fatally crushed. When released he fell to the ground. Ho was removed to the Patterson House, and all that medical skill could do in his behalf exhausted, but in vain. He died on Sun day forenoon.

Juniata Republican. Lykens Items. A correspondent from Lykens, sends the following: On Monday last the down passenger train run off the track at Dayton, no se rious damage was done, and after several hours delay tho train moved on. The same morning the workmen were all gath ered at the works expecting to receive em ployment, but woro again disappointed, and had to return to their homos. Yester day the 15th, they started, but are not do ing much. On Tuesday a man named Mar tin, had his foot injured by a piece of coal fulling on it at the Williamstown Colliery. Cumberland County. From the Cum berland County papers of last week, we copy tho following: Over a thousand dollars has disappeared from the expross office in Sliippensburg. The money was a package of mutilated currency. A darkey has since been arrested at Carlisle and the stolen money recovered. A serious fight occurred in Sliippensburg, on Sunday a week. The participants were Calvin, and Wilson Roller and John Bosh, and all of them received severe injuries. The parties engaged were arrested and held in bail for their appearance at the Au gust court. State Journal. A small child belonging to Mr. Joseph Suhraudeubaugh, of Carlisle, was bitten in the face by a dog whilst playing on the payment, one day last ' week. Mr. 8. shot the canine soon after tho occurrence. One day last week, John Juukin, a son of Mr. J. T. Junkin, while working in Bcatty's printing office, had two of his fingers mashed, by being caught in the Gordon Jobber. The following day, the proprietor of the same establishment, sustained a slight injury, by being caught in the same press. On Sabbath afternoon, the fourth inst., Anthony, a child of Mr. Emanuel Shug gart, residing on the Long's Gap Road, was drowned under the following circum stances: It appears that the child, in com pany with several other children, was at the run a short distance from the house. Some time after the mother missed him and made inquiry, when his lifeless body was discovered near by where tho children had been. The little fellow was an unusu ally bright and interesting child, and his death cast a gloom over the immediate neighborhood. . . For The Bloomfleld Tirana. HowbTwp.. May 17. 1873. Jr. Editor Perhaps you will not like to puuitsii a letter written on the .subject I propose to write about. The fact is, we citizens of the lower end of tho county are about tired of dragging through the mud, or jolting over the stones every time we want to roach the county seat, and as we feel that we have a majority of the popula tion at this end of the county, we want a chance to vote on the removal of the coun ty seat before the Commissioners spend any more money on, county buildings. The county jail is in such a condition, that a new one I understand, or extensive repairs will soon require a large outlay of money. And now I want this matter discussed and thought over by the people of our county, and I want you to publish this letter, even if it is against the interests of Bloomfleld, for your readers in this portion of the oounty have some claim to be heard.
