MolMTTHB, W M. A bPONBLKH, Secretary. Treasurer. Bloomfleld. May 27. 1873. In Jail. D. B. Woramer of Tuscarora twp., was arrested lost week charged with embezzlement. The charge was prcforcd by the county commissioners. Mr. W. hay ing failed to pay over money collected for tax. Not being able to get the requi site amount of bail the acoused was lodged in jail. Our readers will remember that Mr. Wommcr, claimed to have had quite an amount of money burned up in the latter part of November last. Other amouuts have since been collected, which have not been paid over. pDier the Fence. A young man hailing from Duncannon, must have drove very fast one day last week and thought it nec essary to hang his horse over a rail to dry. At any rate he managed to get his horse over the fence' just below Ayle's saw mill, leaving his wagon with two broken shafts on the opposite side. With help from the neighbors, the horse was got back in the road, and the young man wended his way to his destination on horseback. vA. Noisy Sunday. The neighborhood of the Academy was last Sunday a remarka bly lively locality. AH day long crowds were seen wending their way in that direc tion, and from the number of church going people among them, one Would have sup posed a camp meeting was the attraction. But such was not the case, as the cause of all the excitement, was the tents of Yan Amburgh's show. It began to come In at about 9 o'clock, and among the numbers gathered in front of our house as lookers on, we saw very many whose " professions" should have caused them to be at church. It occurred to us that if it was wrong for a show to travel on Sunday, it was equally wrong to Bpend the forenoon looking at one arrive. We may not have the correct idea on this subject, but it seemed to us that the arrival of a show on Sunday, had a bad effect on saints as well as sinners. At any rate,, we hope the next one that comes, will either arrive on some other -day of the week or locate at the other end of town. We will however, do the show men the justice to say, that they made as little noise and confusion as was possible, nd during the day were as quiet a set of men as ever were seen. "found Bead. On (Sunday afternoon at about 8 o'clock Mr. John Baird, - residing in Centre twp., near the old Juniata Fur nace, was found dead. His family had been attending Sunday School, and on their return found him lying between the house -and barn. Medical aid was at once sum moned, but he was past help. F. : B. Clouser, Esq.', of this borough, was sent for and hold an inquest, the following gentleman- constituting the jury: F. M. Mo Keehan, Henry J. Light, S. S. Witherow, Isaiah Skivington, David Souder and Robt. Moore. ' ' ; A wound upon the left side of his head, which looked as though it might have been made by the kick of a horse or from a blow from a piece of iron was the only ap parent cause of his death. Mr. Baird had vicious horse, and it is thought that the animal may have kickod him, and while going from the stable to the house he fell pnd died from concussion of the brain. In absence of any testimony on the subject, however, the jury found a verdiot as fol lows : That the deceased came to ' his death from a wound upon the left side of the head inflicted in some manner unknown to the jury. Spontaneous Combustion. A case of spontaneous combustion took place in the wagon of a Williamsport rag merchant. It appears that on last Tuesday a rag mer chant stopped at a farm house about a mile below Lewisburg and inquired if he could have dinner and horse feed. , On going out to where the horse had been left he found him gone. He saw a few rags burning on the ground and he thought that his wagon was on fire. He overtook his horse and wagon at the nextTarm house in time to save the animal from burning to death The for part of the wagon was destroyed but no further damage was done to the ve hicle. He lost quite a number of rags and a number of articles be bad for sale. He was somewhat at a loss to know how the fire originated; but having a lot of dirty rags which were oil-oaked, Tie was told that it was the result of spontaneous combustion. To this he replied that he didn't know what that meant, but he had thought that xne uevil bad got among his rags and Another Brakenian Killed. Between one and two o'clock Wednesday morning William Orubb, brakenian on the second Harrisburg freight car, was thrown under his train and fatally injured, dying four hours and a half after the accident. The ao- oldent occurred about fifty yards below Baldwin, and the impression is that the brakeman fell off the train In either at tempting to stoop for his light or stepping from one car to another, ne was badly mangled in the region of the abdomon. The company's physician attended him, but the serious nature of the wound pre cluded recovery. The coroner held an in quest, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The deceased was about fifty-seven years and was a resident of Philadelphia, to which plnoe his remains have been removed. Suicide. Mrs. Maria Landen, wife of Mr. William Landen, residing about four miles from Glen Rock, York county, com mitted suicide by rushing in front of an approaching train of cars, on Thursday morning. It appears she went to a place about one and a half miles north of Glon Rock, and hid herself behind a pile of sleepers along the track, and when the " Fast Lino" south, was almost there she leaped and threw herself on the track and was run over and was instantly killed. Hor body was terribly mangled. The deceas ed has been for the last year suffering with an aberrated mind. She was the mother of nine children, seven of which are yet living, and was about thirty-six years of age. Qettytburg Star Sentinel. Sudden Death. John Brouse, of Krat- zerville, wont out early Wednesday morn ing to cut grass. His mother prepared breakfast, and rang the bell. He failing to come, she went to the place where he worked, and found bim dead. He was single, and 22 years of age. Church Notices . Preaching in the Presbvterian Church on Sunday next, at 10 J a. ra.

From the Cum berland County papers of last week, we copy the following : A little daughter of John Spiineler, while playing, was struck on the neck with a pair of scissors, thrown at her by an older sister, one of the blades penetrating the jugular vain. A physician was called in who stopped the bleeding, and at last accounts the little sufferer was recovering. We learn that Hon. Lemuel Todd, of Carlisle, Congressman-at-Large for the State has appointed our young townsman, Mr. Peter S. Stuart,a cadot to the Military Academy at West Point. Mr. Stuart is an excellent scholar, having graduated from the High School, last week. He is also a young man of fine physique, and we think will stand a physical examiuation without much diuiculty. ..... An accident of an exciting nature oc curred in the Lutheran church, at Newville, on Sabbath evening last. Just as the choir were about to sing the voluntary, the chandelier, which hung dlreotly over the organ,fell with a crash and in an instant all was confusion and dismay. The burning fluid threatened instant and sure destruc tion to the church and all who composed the choir. Fortunately the floor was covered with heavy matting, and by a timely application of this by Capt. Dei land the flames were extinguished. Several of the choir were slightly burned, among whom was Miss Drawbaugb, who made the most narrow escape, her dross having been on Are. Juniata County. From the Mifliintown papers of last week, we copy the fol lowing : , - Miltie Richabaugh, a lad of ton summers, while bathing in the river on Monday aftor, noon had a deep gash cut in his left leg by being thrown out of a skiff, his leg striking a sharp iron spike wbioh was placed in the boat for fastening the oars on. , On Fridav last a vounz man named John Winnow, who bad been committed to jail in default of bail, on the previous day on two charges, one lor tape and the oilier lor tornlcatlon and bastardy, maae nis escape from jail and is still at large. It is alleged that he climbed up by the gratings on the windows till he reached the spouting on the roof, along which he passed hand over hand, till ha' reached the ton of the wall, and from thence climbed down the conduc tor to the pavement and walked coolly off. The scenes upon our streets on last Sat urday and Monday nights were disgraceful In the extreme. It has been a long time since so many drunken men and boys have been on exhibition atone time. It is high time that the law was enforced, whoever it may pinch. . . - n 1 1 ' ., ' Wanteds Local agents are wanted to sell the Singer Bewing Machine, In each of the following places.
