As all the packs for Shermansdale leave hero on Monday evening, they should reach their destination on Tuesday morn ing, unless delayed by the carelessness of some post-master on the route. We hope, however, there will be no more cause of complaint, and that all the packs will come to hand hereafter at the proper time. Our entire mail is made up from the Mailing Machine on Monday night, and we know the delay can be from no fault of ours. Among the missing fugitives from the Pennsylvania insane asylum near Ilar risburg, is a woman fifty years of age and about five feet seven iucbes high. Her hair is cut very short and is quite grey.

A sure euro for them is Paris Green, mixed with say 1 part of green to 25 parts of dry plaster or dry ashes. Mix well and dust on the leaves, when damp in -the morning. A correspondent also says he has successfully exterminated them by dissolving the green in water, and sprinkling the bugs. We tried the former method with success. Terrific Explosion. Between ten and eleven o'clock yesterday morning au ex plosion occurred on Third street near Wal nut which was remarkable for the great report it made and the small amount of damage it did. A man whoso name has not been ascertained was walking past the Masonio building, and just as he got be tween Mr. Bhaffor's and Mr. Frank's stores a champagne bottle containing nltrio acid and turpentine, which he carried in his ' hand, exploded with great force, scatter ing fragments in different directions and making, a number of indentions in the large heavy glass windows of the paper store. Some, of the acid was thrown against a vost ' hanging 'on the outside of Mr. Frauk'B store. The individual who had charge of tlie bottle was slightly cut in the face by a piaoe of the glass and a portion of his clothing badly burned by the acid mixture. A girl who was passing at the time received a small gash in the hand from a fragment of the glass, and a lady sitting in the paper store narrowly escaped being hit, a piece of bottle striking within a few feet of her and rolling under her chair. Ono of the fragments of the glass took a diagonal direction and landed in front of Weaver & Hubley's store, about twenty yards distant. The report resem bled that of a cannon and was heard for many squares, causing considerable ex citement. The great wonder is that the man with the bottle and others in the neighborhood were not seriously .injured. 1 llarrlsburg I'alnol or luth inst. A Had Accident. At Huntingdon on Friday evening a week, about seven o'clock a horse became frightened and dashed up an alley, leading from Moore to Oneida street, iu which there were several boys, one of these a son, aged about four years, . of Frank Clouse, who resides near the head of the alley. When the boys discov ered the horse they ran for a pile of build ing logs on Oneida street. Young Clouse succeeded in reaching the cover and im mediately afterwards the horse rau against the pile and threw it down, crushing the head of tbo little fellow beneath the logs. He expired iu a few moments. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents in their sore aflliction.

A Brewer's Kuse. By a recent decision of his honor Judge Dean, presiding judge of this judicial district, it is a violation of tho provisions of the local option law for a brewer to manufacture beer and dispose of the same from his brewery in a local option city or county. Under this decision several breweries in Altoona were practically clos ed up, as their sales of the manufactured article by shipment into couuties where the law is not in force would not justify them in carrying on even in a small kind of way. A few days ago a convention of Blair couuty brewers was held, and after some consultation they concluded to enter into a kind of general partnership among them selves, and establish a depot for the sale of boer at Gallitzin, in ibis county. By doing this they claim that they can manufacture beor within the limits of their own county individually, ship it to tho joint firm at Gallitzin, and from thence it can be re shipped back to Altoona, Hollidaysburg, or any point in the local option county thoy may desire. Cambria Herald. Another Fool Burned. Tho Seliusgrovo Timet says ; "A coal oil accident occurred at Captain Meeker's house on Sunday last. A hirod girl whilst engaged at cooking con. eluded to hurry up the cakes by the use of coal oil, and the result was the explosion of a two gallon can of oil. The whole kitchen was in a blaze and the girl's clothes took fire. The fire on her clothes was extinguish' ed by rolling her in the grass, and the fire in the kitchon was put out by means of a hose kept ou hand for such occasions. The girl's name was Snyder. She was consider ably burned, and returned to her home at Middleburg. ''Sin Trouble.
