If you wish to change the post oflice address on your paper this Spring, don't forget to state the plnco whore you have been receiving it, as well as the place where you wish to have it sent iu future. Appointed. On Monday evening last, Mr. James Vhitmer,of Liverpool twp., was appointed to fill the vacancy in the board of county Commissioners, caused by the death of Mr. Bretz. The appointment gives general satisfaction. This appoint ment only holds good until next fall when two Commissioners will have to bo elected to serve one year. Two Courts. On Wednesday last, two -courts woro in session at one time, one being held in the court loom, by Judge Bucher, . and the other in the grand jury .room, by Judge Junkin. This was quite .a saving to the county, as the jurors must be paid whether panelled or not, and also .a saving in witness costs. Judge Bucher was here to try cosos in which Judge Jun kin had been interested. Hotel Changes. A goncral change takes place In the Hotels in this borough, this spring. The Perry House so long kept by Mr. Butch, is this year to be under the charge of Messrs. Grier & Qruver. The Eagle Hotel kept for the past year by John Shuman, has been leased to Mr. H. C. Meredith. Mr. Miller will leave the Mansion House, and the new landlord is Mr. Henry Patterson, of Howe township ; while the Robinson House will be kept by Mr. Henry Ilioo, of this borough. , Malicious Mischief. On Friday morning, when about to commence work, Mr. Bel ford, who works in the plow-shop at the foundry, discovered that nearly all his tools were missing. For a time it was supposed they were stoWn, but search around the premises revealed the fact that they had been hidden. A portion of them were sub sequently found thrown in under the fur nace, while some were concealed in a pile of boards, and others were dropped down In a recess, between two adjoining buildings, from where they were recovered only by the merest chance. It was a very childish way for any one to vent their spite. Killed. On Saturday afternoon the mail train West, when near the furnace below Newport, struck Mr. Abram Evans, killing hira instantly. No blame can be attacked to the engineer, who sounded his whistle, giving Mr. Evans ample time to get off the track. For some reason be fail ed to pay any attention to the warning, with the above sad result. The train was stopped, and the body was taken on to Newport station. Mr. Evans was an es teemed citizen of Miller township, and his sudden death caused a severe shock to his many friends. Fonnd Dead. The Waynesborough Record (Franklin co.,) says : Mrs. Eliza beth Fahrney, an aged lady, was found dead at the house of her nephew, Mr. An drew Banger, near this place, on Saturday morning lost, where she had been staying for some time past. She was engaged in singing and religious conversation until a late hour In the evening, retiring in health and good spirits. ' In the morning a mem ber of the family as usual entered the room to make up the fire and found her a corpse at the bedside. She was a daughter of Jacob Holsinger, deo'd, and wife of Dr. Jacob Fahrney, a man of more than ordin ary eminence in the profession, who locat ed in tbis place ' many years ago, and who is still remembered by many of our citizens. Who U Hel A, correspondent writing from Halifax, Dauphin county says : " On the 18th ult., a certain man of Perry co., called at one of our township schools claim ing to be County Superintendent of Perry county. He stated that he hod been re quested by the connty superintendent of the county to visit the schools in this dis trict. He addressed the school as follows : " Scholars, I was very bad when I went to school (we think he has not grown any better); I hope you are not. I used to like the girls very much. I always tried to be by their side. But bow different I am now ; I cannot even bear to ride in a wag on if there is a girl on it The latter clause created considerable excitement In the school ; the larger girls appeared dis pirited, while among the boys there was heard a general laugh of triumph. He then proceeded telling them he had very sore eyes, which be received while going to school, by looking the teacher right in the eyes. ' lie very kindly caution ed the school not to look their teacher in the eyes, as the same terrible result might follow. He closed by telling them that bis monthly salary as county superintendent was only $40, and be was therefore obliged to follow baking in connection with it for a livelihood." Who is the lucatio t Person wanting the celebrated " Stellar Oil," an article that not only burns clear and bright, but is porfootly safe, can get it of F. Mortimer. tf A Remarkable Accident. On Saturday afternoon as Wm. N. Soiborjt; Esq.,v was driving .jdowh Middle Ridge, on hit iway home fi'Oui. Newport to Bloomfleld, 'one of the pole straps broke, when the sudden Btrain on the othor strap caused the yoke to pull off the pole, and allowing it to drop to the ground, The pole then broke off near to the double-tree, and as there - was no way for tho horses to hold back the carriage, the only course was to keep them moving, and guide them as Well as-, oould be done under the oiraumstanoes. In this manuer noarly threo-quarters of a rullo was travoled, until 1 they . i-oachod the cross roads, near the church. At this point tho driver thought to stop the horses by turn ing up the hill past Rough's barn. ' In doing this, however, the wheels cut under the bed of the vehicle so sudden, that it was thrown off the running-gears, and Mr. Seibert dragged out over the dasher by the lines, but not hurt. Mrs. Soibert's moth er, who was in the carringe at the time was unhurt, and Mr. John II. Shoiblcy, who was coming up with them, had. succeeded in jumping out safely while coming down the hill. , When we consider the crooks and turns in the road, and the distance traveled without a pole to guide the ve hicle, the escape of the party from Injury is certainly very remarkable. The carriage which belonged to Judge Junkin, is a com plete wreck, but the horses were not hurt, and stopped as soon as free from the car riage. A ladies' lace dress cap and summor hat, wrapped up in a newspaper were lost, on the way down the hill. The finder is re quested, to return them to Mr. Seibert. For the Bloomfleld Timet. Institute Meeting. Institute met at Comp's School House,in Centre township, on the 4th inst., at 7 o'clock P. M. On motion J. B. Clousor was chosen President, and A. Clouser Sec retary. The exercises of the evening were opened with music by the teacher and scholars, "The Savior is Waiting at the Door." The subject for discussion, Moral Education, was then taken up by J. W. Soule, followed by J. W. Uibbs and others. The subject of Geography was taken up by J. B. Clouser, followed by J. W. Boule and J.W. Hibbs. Music, "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." Adjourned to meet Wednesday, March 11th, at 7 o'clock P. M. Subject for discussion, Moral Education and Grammar. A. Clouser, Sec For the Bloomfleld Times. Blain Fur Company. Mr. Editor: Seeing your notice of the exploits of the "Bloomtield Fur Company," we thought we would give some account of the " Blain Fur Company." With a force ot six or seven hounds, and three or four men, they scour the Conegocheaque, east and west, for five and six miles, and even to the north side of the above named mountain, and over the Tuscarora moun tain. Their force goes out about once a week and never comes back empty handed, but is sure to bring the scalp of some "critter." When one goes alone, (which is not often,) the rest are not uneasy about him, and do not send " messengers" after him, as we notiocd the " Bloomfleld Fur Company" seut after a certain one of their party. So far our Company has caught 10 Raccoons, 13 Foxes, and on last Saturday they brought homo a large Catamount, the largost within the remembrance of the oldest citizen. We defy ' the County for better buHters and better hounds, and if any one doubts the truthfulness of this, lot them address " Constable," Jackson town ship, Perry oounty, Pa., in care of James Morrow, inclosing a stamp to prepay post age. POSTER Blain, March 4, 1874. Juniata County. From the Mifllintown papers of last week we eopy the follow ing : Work was begun at the coal platform in Patterson on Monday, with twenty odd hands. David1 Cramer was appointed boss. All freight engines coal there. E. W. n. Kreider, Esq., has been ap pointed an honorary Vice President by the Board of Managers of Pennsylvania Socie ty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals. Mr. Kreider, as per instructions from said Society, will organize the county into districts, and present the names of citizens of the respective districts to the Society for appoiutment. Last Friday S. It. Rhoads, the enter prising cattle dealer, shipped three car loads of cattle from Ferrysville to Pboonix ville, Chester county. - Rhoads makes the trade lively. A young man named Wilson, while at work, last Thursday, shoveling at the side of tbe railroad, near Tuscarora station, was struck on the head by tbe bumper of a Bassing locomotive. Drs. Crawford and anks were summonod, and uudor their treatment he is doing well. Cumberland County. From the Car lisle Volunteer of last week, we copy the following : As far as we are able to learn only four new buildings are to be erected in this borough during the coining summer. This is not very encouraging for builders and plasterers. There Is considerable talk of annexing Newtown, in Newton township, to tbe bor ough of Newville. ; Mr. Wm. Morrison, an aged citizen of our borough, and the inventor of the agri cultural implement known as the " Moi ri sen Corn Planter," died one day last week. A worthies " tramp" giving his name as George Prosser, in "tramping" past tbe store of Geo. Wagoner & Son's deliberately "cabbaged" a very fine lap robe, and made way with it as fast as bis " trampers" could carry bim. A neighbor having ob served tbe larceny raised the alarm, and soon the cry of "stop thief 1" resounded around, creating quite a commotion in our peaceful borough. The thief was soon overtaken, and in charge of Deputy officer Htahl, was "tramped" back to the office of Justice Leas, where he was committed to Fort Totton, to await ' the action of the court. . Adjourned Court Proceedings, ) An adjourned Court convened on the 2nd inst.i, for the trial ot -causes in which Judge Junkin was interested as counsel, before his election to the bench, and also to clear the record of causes except such as have been brought . within a short period. On Monday the miscellaneous business was transacted. Judge Bucher, of the. 25th Judicial District, presided during the week, except on tho trial of the first case. George Leonard vs. David Bixler. The defendant in this action purchased plain tiffs Mill property, , situated in Juniata twp., in consideration of which he was to pay $10,900, in certain annual installments. And the defendant upon petition to the court had the last payment of $900 opened and he lot into a dofense ; and to recover this amount this action was brought. The defendant alleged that plaiutiff had sold off a portion of the property, which he fail ed to strike out of the deed he delivered to him, and that it was defendants impres sion at the time of the purchase that said tract was still a portion of the farm. He therefore claims that the property was damaged to the extent of nt least $1,000. Verdict for defondant for $583.88. Burnett and Markcl for plff. Sponsler for dft. Daniel Powers vs. Emanuel Kellor. This was an action for malicious prosecution. It appears that iu the year 1871, the de fendant, Emanuel Keller, had his smoke house broken open and his meat stolen, for which he had -the plaintiff arrested. The grand jury having failed to find a bill against him, this action was brought to re cover the amount of money expended by plaiutiff in his defense at that time, and for damages done to bis character, by said prosecution, .The jury after deliberating from early in the eveuing, until the next morning, found a verdict for plaintiff for $05. Mclntire and Graham for plff. Spon sler and. Neilson for dft. Samuel Liggett vs. William Donally. This action was brought to recover $150, it being the price of a threshing machine, which the defendant had purchased of the plaintiff. In defense of payment be alleg ed that it failed to perform its work as thoroughly as plaintiff represented. The jury after being out almost the entire night returned a verdict for plaintiff for $07,83. The counsel for defendant entered a rule to show cause why the judgment should not be entered without costs. Ligget for plff. Bavnott for dft. Morgan Davis and Seifert McManns & Co. vs. William Sotzler and Mitchell Jones. This was two cases combined and was an action of ejectment brought for tho recov ery of about three acres of land, situate in Tuscarora township, tbe value of which has been greatly enhanced on account of the iron ore which it contains. This case was an exceedingly tedious one, occupying nearly half the week. Verdict for defend ant. Sponsler and Graham for pills. Mclntire and Barnett for dft's. The roport of reviewers appointed to as sess the damages sustained by David Bix ler, of Juniata twp., by reason of the School Directors of said township, locating a school htfuse upon bis property, having been excepted to, was set aside and Wm. McClure, George Uoobaugh and John Stambaugh, appointed to make another re port to next court. . ... m Urlef'Itcmtt. March came in like a lamb, but for the post few days "the lamb" has been pretty effectually lionized. On Saturday the Btage was ' obliged to suspend operations, in consequence of tbe terrible condition of the roads. The mail was carried on horse back. The Methodist church at Thompsontown, nt which place Rev. Wm. Schriber, well known on this oircuit is stationed, has been enjoying a refreshing revival. Over twenty conversions have already taken place. A bit of red popper, the size of your finger end, dropped into boiling meat or vegetables will kill all unpleasant odor. Remember this when boiling cabbage. The Record says that a certain married lady in the vicinity of Duncannon, desiring to attend a recent "social hop," gave her child (a babe about six weeks old) a dose of laudanum, which caused the little one to remain in a stupor until noon of the next day, when it was attacked by ' violent spasms, which came near causing its death. . . A few days . since a little daughter of Lemuel Sellars, at Cove Forge, fell from ber chair and broke a collar bone. Wm. II. Kacy Is selling out his store at Elliottsburg, to Jesse Rice, of Greenpark.
