McIntikc Wm. A. Sponbi.eh, Secretary. Treasurer. Bloomtleld. May 27, 1873. A Rcmarknblo Yield. Last week Mr. John Ayle, of Centre twp., brought us in a lot of potatoes, the yield of one stock from cue potatoo planted whole, which we think remarkable. There were over fifty potatoes in the lot and the weight of them exceeded eight pounds. Can any one bea t it ? Robbing the Mall. Jamos Miller, assis tant post-master at Fannetsburg, Franklin county, was arrested last week, charged with robbing the mails. It will bo remem bered that about one year ago, Espy Miller mail agent on the South Penn. R. R., was arrested on the same charge. The two men are brothers. Kissing; In Public. Our advice to the young man who took his girl to Newport, on Wednesday afternoon last, is not to kiss and hug her again while, going up the ridge, unless he is sure there are no lookers on. It is very aggravating to young men to see such n game going on and have uo chance to take a part in the enjoyment. At least that is the opinion of those who saw the operation last week. s Four Turkeys at one Shot. About the proudest man we have seen in a long time was Honry Bentzel, on last Friday morning as he came into town with three wild tur keys on his shoulder. One turkey he had sold to a party before reaching town, and the whole four were captured with one dis cbarge of the gun. Two dropped where they stood when shot, and the others were so crippled that Mr. B. caught them within a few rods of the placo where thoy were shot. This makes six turkeys ho has shot this season. A Narrow Escape. An aged lady pas senger on an emigrant train west made a narrow escape from death Friday morning near Leaman Dace, Pennsylvania railroad. She had gone to the platform for fresh air, and while standing there the cars were vio lently jolted and she was thrown to the ground. A son and daughtor on the train missed their mother after the cars had procoeded a few miles, and returned to Leaman Place they discovered her all right, but a slightly sprained back. Juniata County Fair. The Juniata fail did not quite equal the fair at Newport. Cows and hogs are not raised at all iu that county if we are to judge from the dis play of stock. The pumpkin crop too was not good. The bag race was the great feature of the week, but tho anxiety of the people to see it, prevented any ono from having a fair look at it, and kept the "bag men" from having a fair show. This is tho abstract of our reporters account of his trip. And be adds that it was a good place to see the people of the county, as the at tendance was large. Carlisle Presbytery. This body met last week at Fannottshurg, ill Fiauklin co., at 8 P. M. on Tuesday, and adjourned at noon on Thursday,' having special trains provided for it by the Southeru Penn. R.R. Most of the Presbyterian churches of this country were rcpresnted aud the vacant charges at Duncannon, Bhermansdale and Ickeshurg were granted supplies till spring meeting, the church in Blooinflold omitting a Sabbath in November and one in Deccm bor for this purpose. Committee of visita tion were appointed for the various church es. Rev. Wm. West, of llarrisburg, and Rev. Robert McClain, of Wayncsburgh, being the committeo to come to Bloomflold some timo this winter. ""Runaway Accident. On Thursday last ias the son and wife of Mr. Jacob Brunor,of Carroll twp., were driving with a horse and -carriage between King's Mill and Monta bclla Furnace. The horse became scared and turned suddenly around, and one of the lines breaking the driver lost all con trol of the animal, which then ran away. The carriage was upset and badly broken -and the occupants thrown out but fortu nately were not much hurt. The horse 'Was caught after running nearly two miles, but by that time the carriage and harness were nearly ruined. The accident was caused by some loose colts In the publio road. These colts belonged to Charles Rumpt, of Wheatileld twp., and being on the publio highway in violation of the law, their owner might b liable to pay any -damage caused by them. Lost a Portion of his Finger. Edward Ilackett, fourteen year old son of Mr. C. J. Ilackett, residing on Green avenue, mourns the loss of the first joint of the second finger of his left hand. In company with several youthful companions, on Sat urday morning, the lad was engaged in "dropping" some freight cars down the yard at the request of the railroad em ployes, and while attempting to make a coupling his band was caught between the "dead-wood" and tho finger severed in twain as above stated. In addition to the injury of the second finger, the first linger was severely bruised. The lad's injuries were dressed by Drs. Gemmill & Fay. On a previous occasion the lad sustained a fracture of his left arm. Altoona Tribune. The New Cattle Law. Regulations un der the act of Congress establishing rules to be observed in the transportation of live stock, which wont into effect on tho first of October, have been forwarded by the treasury department to tho proper oflicials, with instructions rigidly to enforce the provisions of tho law. It imposes a fine of not less than $100 or more than $500 for confining animals in cars, boats or vessels longer than twenty-eight consecutive hours without rest, water and feed. It is fortu for the animals that their interests are identical with those of the people who are to oat their meat, for this will probably aid materially the enforcement of the law. Painful Accident. On Friday a weok, a painful accident occurred in front of Mr. Samuel Noss shoe store, in Duncannon. A littlo boy, named Miller, about niue years of age, residing in Wheatileld twp., was playing with a chain fastened to a hitching.post, and while swinging around the post with one end of tho chain in his mouth, his foot slipped dud he fell out into the gutter, a largo iron hook upon tho end of the chain tearing out a portion of his uppor lip, and protruding through one cheek, making a terrible gash in his face. The cries of the child attracted the atten tion of persons in tho vicinity, who went to his assistance, and removed him to Dr. Swartz's office, where the wound was prop erly dressed, and the lad is now getting along very well. Duncannon Record. On Wednesday last, Mr. Brown the market man, so well known in this part of tho county, had a narrow oHcape from serious injury. While driving between Marysville and Duncannon, his horse became scared at the cars, whicli were ap proaching, lie had got his horso quieted down somewhat, when just as tho engine was opposite him, the engineer gave a short sharp whistlo which caused the horse to jump down tho bank breaking loose from the wagon and dragging Mr. Brown out cutting and bruising him about tho head. It seems to us that engineers sometimes use their whistlo on purpose to scaro horses, as we have frequently seen them whistle when thore was no reason for so doing un less it was for tho purpose of seeing its ef fect upon a scared animal. In such cases an engineer ought to bo made personally responsible for any damage done by the horse. Collisions. Williom Abel, conductor of tho Pacific express west, was considerably bruised about tho breast, and shoulders on Wednesday by an accident to his train at Rockvillo, it having been divided into sec tions while crossing a switch, which after words collided. A brakeman had one of his arniB bruised and fireman Gardner one of his hands crushed. All tho passengers escaped injury, and the damairo to the cars was slight. Mr. Gardner is a Perry comity man. Tuesday morning a wreck occur: ed near Bird-in-lland, Pennsylvania railroad. The flagman of the train wont back a considera ble distance east and warned the southern express of the obstruction on the track, but notwithstanding the train ran into the freight, throwing several cars of tho latter over on embankment and wrecking them and damaging the engine of the passenger train. School Items. The County Superintend. ent furnishes the following information : At the eighteen publio examinations began ou the 13 th of September, and ended on the 3d of October, 203 applicants were examined, and 103 provisional certi ficates issued.

'i '.-., . -Jew and Useful. Within the past week there has been introduced into our town, an article which oannot fail to in to rest and benefit the house-keeping portion of our community. It is Morse's Favorite Five Dollar Washing Machine Though simple in its construction, it is effective in its operation, washing the largest as well as the most fragile fabric. The clothing be ing washed principally by agitation, with out passing between rolls or scrubbing boards. Last fall it was awarded the first premium at tho N. II. State Fair, also at tho Now England fair two yoars ago, and has been favorably noticed by several pa pers in this State. A washing is done in much less than one half the time it could bo by the old process of wash board rub bing. Neighbors and patrons try them, they will save you much. These machines are manufactured in New Bloomtleld, by A. P. Nickel. ' Consolidated. Tho Editor of the Junia ta Hentinel, gives notice that he has pur chased a controlling interest iu the Repub lican and that tho issue on the 22nd inst., instead of being under the old bead, will be called the Juniata Sentinel Repub lican. Whiskey In Perrysville. There is a man named , in Perrysville who ca ters to the whisky appetite in an origi nal manner. Ilo takes tho money for a bottle of whisky and then places the bottle in his pocket and looks the other way, while somo ono steals it out of bis pocket, of course the one who steals it is the one who pays for it. A hotel in that county has another method of dealing out tho stuff. The poor thirsty soul comes to the bar and asks for " strong cider," and tho barkeeper draws a little of the "strong" part out of a kog under tho counter and then fills in the cider from anothor vossel. The temperance people of Porrysvillo ought to send out a smelling committeo and attend to these cases. Juniata County. From the Mifflintown papers of last week we copy the follow ing : Miss Susan Switzer lives with 8. E. Parker. On Tuesday whilst engaged in washing a window, by bearing on too bard, she pushed her right arm through a pane of glass cutting otf the radial artery just above the wrist.

A scaffolding on the new Methodist ctiurcli gave away last Thursday, precipita ting to the ground John Kennedy, boss bricklayer of the building, and two other workmen. Mr. Kennedy, was so much hurt that be was compelled to co homo to nurse his injuries. Rov. Mr. Pardoo, was on the scaffolding at the time it gave way, but was caught by a manwhoso name we nave not learned who was on an adjoin ing Bcafl'old, and holped to a placo of safe ty. The Rcvereud gentleman descended to the fallen party, aud in consoling words said they all should praise the Lord that things were no worse. Last Friday morning Postmastor Books, mot with a mishap thus : At tho hour des ignated Mr. Books was preparing to go gunning for squirrels. Hurrying across Mr. Smith's lot, which is adjacent to his own, ho had entirely forgot that Smith had made an excavation for a cistern. Sud denly, however, he was brought to a reali zation of tho forgotten fact by finding him self going headforemost into the hole. Ho readied tho bottom, some seven feet dis tant from the siu laco of the ground, with out much trouble, but fortunately received no serious injury. The top of his head was cut in several places, which only wak ened him up and increased his zeal for tho bunt. Tho Independent says: Owing to tho great inconvenience- under which we have labored in tho printing of our paper since tho late ilro and it being impossible for us to secure a suitable office at present we have concluded to suspend the publication of the Independent for a short time. Cumberland County. From the Cum berland county papers of last week we copy the following : Mr. Georgo Hoover, of Mifflin townshin. died suddenly in his wagon, on Thursday last, while on his way homo from town. Ho was accompanied by Mr. S. Hockman and after they had got on tho road a milo or more he complained of feeling very unwell, and when at what is known us Steelstowu, life had flod from him. He was taken to a house and cared for until his friends made arrangements for the removal of his body. On Saturday last Mr. Alfred.

His injuries are of a very serious nature, but we aro glad to say he is improving. Frank and Robert, sons of Mr. Robert Hood, of Bpringflold, were using a fodder cutter, the other day, to cut sumao, and Robert getting his band too close to the knives, had two of his fingers cut entirely off at the first joint. Fodder cutters are dangerous things for boys to handle. 'A horse attached to a sulky, belonging to Dr. Wltbersnoon, whilst hitched to a post iu front of his office, in Shippensburg, on Tuosday morning last, tore loose and ran up West Main street, breaking the sulky considerably. A valuablo horse belonging to Mr. Joseph Fickos, of Shippensburg, felldead on Tues day morning last. UrlofltomH. The Duncannon postmaster, Mr. John M. Toland, has removed the postolfice aoross the street from its former location, into Shelter's now building. Rev.

Two members of the Francis family in Armagh township, Mifflin county, died re cently from the efTocts of crock poisoned apple butter, eaten three months ago. Tho apple butter was made one year ago. It is proposed to substitute India rubber for paper for printing currency on. That's a good idea, for you can stretch a small note into a larger one. On Thursday evening Mr. George Arnold or this place had quite a cut made over his eye by a kick from a gun. He was setting down, and Beelr.g a squirrel discharged his gun carelessly, hence the accident. r Ve recommend some of the young folks iu town io learn a new song which will run something as follows : "Then pull up tho wickot and the stake, and put by the mallet and ball ; for no more croquet'll be played this year, it's getting too late in the falL" The young man who brought a domi john of whisky to town last week, had bet ter be a little careful to whom ho Bells it. There is trouble ahead for him, if ho is not careful. On Tuosday last, S. A. Wetzel, Esq., of Beavertown, while laying the timber for tho third floor of tho new brick school house of which ho is contractor, fell and broke sev eral of his ribs and was otherwise bruised. William Glass, son of an ex-member of the legislature from Snyder county, became intoxicated for tho first and last time of his life on Saturday. On Sunday morning he became very sick and turned black all over his body, and on Monday he died.
