A little boy of David Sheibley's at Newport, met with a severe accidont on Thursday, which nearly deprived him of the sight of an eye. Mrs. 8., his mother was sewing, while the child was lying on the floor, and whon she arose, the scissors flow out of her lap into the child's eye penetrating it, but it did not injure the lens of the eye. Fire. On Friday morning, at about 7 o'clock, a Are broko out in the cabinet shop of Mr. A. P. Nickle, in this borough, and in a short time the building and its entire contents of tools, lumber and furniture was entirely destroyed. At the time the fire was discovered, the workmen were ab sent at breakfast and the flames had made such great progress that it was impossible to remove any article except the hearse. The fire was prevented from communica ting to any other building, by the exertions of the citizens, and by a slight snow that had fallen the night previous. Mr. Nickle's loss will exceed $1,200, on which there was no insurance. Noticed All persons owing mo, are re quested to promptly settle thoir indebted ness, as in consequence of the loss of my stock and tools, by the flro oa Friday lost, I need money badly. By paying now you can greatly aid mo. . A. P. NickLk. April 13, 1874. , Double Robbery. A correspondent from Falling Springs, sends the following : "The occupants of Mr. Abraham Fry's Railroad boarding house wero aroused on last Thursday night the 7th inst., by the alarm of robbers in the house. Mr. Fry heard some one walking through the hpuse, and a search was made. No robber was to be found, but, Mr. Wm. Calhoon fouud he was relieved of a twenty dollar bill. All hands loft next morning, saying they would not stay any longer in a robber's house, but it turns out that they took the robber with them. They moved to Mr. Geo. Bheibly's, near by. About ten o'clock on Wednesday night, Mr. Minich's clork got very sick, (or pretended to,) and said he would lay on the lounge down stairs. Between twelve and one o'clock, Mr. Sheibly heard the clerk go out, and got up to look after him, but could see nothing of him. He then went up stairs, awoke Mr. Miuichand in looking around found Minich's pocket book lying on the floor released of all the money it contained. His satchel was also broken open and two shirts and a large pocket knife gone. The clerk, Jack Duffleld, bail ing from Roseburg, Perry county, had ab- sconded. Two railroad hands started in search of him but fearing poor success, Mr. Calhoon offers a reward of twenty-flve dol lars for his body. , A Runaway. On Friday afternoon, as Charles Tressler was driving a pair of his father's horses up Carlisle street, in this borough, they suddenly started to run just as they were opposite the residence of Judge Junkin. They went with terrible speed, and entirely beyond control of the driver, until they reached the corner of the Court House, when the wheels struck the bridge that crosses the gutter, stopping'the vehicle so suddenly, that the hiud part of the wagon was thrown into nearly a per pendicular position, and the young man was tossed at least 10 feet in the air, alight ing 12 or 15 feet in advance of the wagon. The front wheels instantly became detach ed, and with these the horses continuod up the street to the next coiner, where they turned on to the side walk, running be tween the trees, and F. Mortimer's resi dence, scraping the house and knocking off a piece from the steps. Fortunately for Mr. Meredith's porch, they again took the street just before reaching his house, and continued their course until they came to the corner near the Reformed parsonage. There they went into the lot, one horse go ing each side of a poet, and demolishing two pannels of fence, and wore then caught by Mr. M. Darlington. The driver was picked up for dead, immediately after the accident, and taken into the erry House, but subsequent examination showed that besides being stunned by the fall, his in juries consisted of slight bruises on the head and face, and a badly sprained wrist. He was taken home an hour later, and the next day was able to be around the house. Church Notices, Preaching in the Presbyterian Churoh next Sabbath at 11 A. M.. and 7 P.M.

A Curious Suit, The case of a New York insurance company vs. the. Pennsylvania Railroad, for damagos alleged to be caused to Dr. Rutherford's barn, at Middletown, from sparks from a locomotive on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, having boon decidod adversely to the Railroad Company, will be appealed to the Supreme Court. The barn was insured in a New York fire insurance company. The corn puny paid Dr. Rutherford the insuranoe, but demanded the amount paid the Doctor from the railroad company as damages. The latter refused to pay and the insurance company brought suit against the railroad company in Now York and attached their property to the amount due them. The railroad company claimod, first, that they did not set fire to the barn ; that thoir en gines were of the most approved pattern; and, second, if they did cause the fire, it was because straw and other dry, inflamma ble stuff was scattered negligently around the barn, and this should defeat any recov ery on the ground of negligence on the part of the owner of the barn ; and, Anally, that no suit could be brought in the name of the insurance company for a part of the loss, but the action must be brought in the name of the owner of the barn for the entire loss. Rather Fishy. Tho Sunbury Daily is re sponsible for the following : Yesterday in sawing a log on Friling's, Bowen & Engol's mitl, one of the logs drawn up was fouud to be hollow, and upon examination there was found to be quite a collection of catfish insido. They were quite stiff when taken out, but upon putting them into a tub of water they became quite lively. Among the number was one having two heads, perfectly dovolopod, and two tails. It does not swim quite as well as the others. Capt. Mangos has taken charge of it, and will show it to any one calling. He proposes to keep it alive if possible. It has been ex amined by some scientific and medical men and they declare it is a natural curiosity. He has been offered ton dollars for it but refuses to soil it. A Good Heater. The following letter from the county Commissioners pays a well moritcd compliment to the boaters manu factured by Mr. Jacob Fridley ; Commissioner's Office, New Bloomfiold, Pa., April 6, 1874. . Mr. Jacob Fbidlet : Dear Sib : We have every reason to be satisfied with the action of the two heaters you put up last December in the Court House, of our County. The amount of heat guaranteed by them has been ample, and the amount of coal consumed small in proportion, as compared with the heaters previously in use. The atmosphere of the Court Room seems to be entirely free from the presence of gas, when the beaters are in operation, which was not the case before your heaters were put up. We believe the material used in the construction of your heaters, is good and durable as could be got, that they have been put up in a complete and work manlike manner, and we are eatislled that you, as tho inventor, are completely con versant with your business. Yours, &c. W. B. Stamdaugh. James Wiiitmoue. William Brooks. Commissioners of Perry county, Pa. Uriel" Itemis. The Newport Furnace has gone into blast again.

Mr. Editor : Thinking that perhaps a fow items frem this section of the county, might not be uuinteresting to your numer ours readers, I will try to give you some of the news of this place, and also to inform you of the manner of amusement and en tertainment of the town. On Monday eve ning lost your correspondent attended the Lycoum, held in the new school building, (and by the way, it does credit to the town, and I can safely say that few towns of its size can boast a better, or a more comforta bly furnished school house. The meeting was called to ordor by the president, Mr. Vandewalker, after which Col. F. Wister, read a spicy selection from Kidd's Elocu tion entitled, "There once was a Toper" which was well received by the audience. The question for debate was then announ ced, " Resolved that a republican form of government is preferable to a limited Mon archy, and was discussed by the following gentlemen : Messrs. Zeiglor, Swart.z and Hauck, on the affirmative ; Messrs. Wistor, Long and Jackson, on the negative The query box was then opened and questions x read and roforred to the gentlemen named on the slips with the question. Our im pression is that the query box is a great addition to an association provided, it is made use of for asking questions of general importance, or on scientiflo points. But to use it as some do it 1b neither amusing or instructive. After making the proper appointments adjourned to moot on Monday April 13th. As we came out of the building our eyes were mot with a sight that was really beau tiful, and oven the reflection cast into the river was grand, and none but those who have seon it can appreciate the beauty of seeing a fire on Peter's Mountain after dark, opposite to the town. On Wednesday evening, the 8th inst., having received an invitation some days be fore I hied myself off to the Mechanic's Hall, when Vantloborry Lodge, No. 208 Knights of Pythoas were celebrating thoir third anniversary, and notwithstanding the evening was damp and disagreeable on ac count of a drizzling rain that was falling. I was surprised to find so goodly a number of gallant Knights with their lovely ladies -in attendance. The mooting was called to order by C. C. Bro. John Wills, the open ing odo was sang by the audience, followed with a fervent prayer by the Rev. Hunter. A short and interesting address was then made by Bro. J. E. Jackson, who stated that the Lodge had been instituted in April 1871, and had received $3,578.72 ; had paid out $3IJ0.00; funeral benefits, $740.00; sick do. and had invested $407.00 ; ex penses, $1,070.00. Rev. Hunter then fol lowed with a very interesting and enter taining address, aud offered a great deal of good cheer and encouragement. Refresh ments wore served by the committee which were enjoyed by all. After a fow more ad dresses, were dismissed and all returned to their homes regretting that the evening was so short, and expressing themselves as highly ploased. I will close at present. ALL.
