Sad Accident. Miss Catharine Dean,
resident of "West Beaver, while returning
from tbe Camp Meeting at MoClure City,
fell from a spring wagon which was upset
while being driven over a stump, breaking
both of her wrists.

counts, to place in the hands of a Collec
tion Bureau, for collection. ' Persons know
ing they owe me, will please take notico,
and keep their names from the list, by
prompt settlement.

Plants. If you want plants or floweis,
go to the Riverside Nursery, in Harrisburg.
We received a lot from there last week
that are Bplendid. One advantage for per
sons in this section of the State in getting
plants from there is, that the plants reach
home in good condition. Col. G. F. McFar
land is the ' proprietor of the Riverside
Kursory, and Samuel Parker is the Super
intendent. Those two names make a strong
guarantee that everything coming from
there will he as represented.
A Hint. In the court at Meadville, Judge
Lowrie gavo the constables a gentle hint
that might be applicable about here. Every
one reported everything lovely in his juris
diction, whereupon the judge remarked
that such a state of affairs was admirable,
if it was true ;' but he dtd not think it was
exactly as represented. For instance, the
law requires constable to see that guide
boards are placed at every road crossing.
He said he had been out driving in various
directions and knew of many crossings at
which there were no such guide boards.
Stealing a Child. The Selinsgrove Timet
says : "On Tuesday evening about 8
o'clock, some unknown person at
tempted to steal the infant child of M.
II. Cooke at this place. Mrs. Cooke was
up stairs in her room and the child lay in
the cradle. Mr. Cooke had just gone
down into the cellar on an errand, when he
heard his wife scream. It appears that as
soon as be had gone down stairs an un
known man came out of an adjoining
room, displayed a; knife, and seized the
child and ran down stairs. Tbe alarm
given by Mrs. Cooke immediately brought
up her husband, but the man wag gone,
and tbe child was found lying on the plat
form of the stairs. Why any one should
wish to steal so small a child seems a little
surprising. '
Accidents. The habit so often indulged
in by farmers and wagoners of intrusting
their teams to the care of children is a most
dangerous one. , A- very serious accident
arising from this cause occurred at Cham
bersburg, on Saturday last. Two men
were leaving town with a four-horse team
and allowed a boy aged six or eight years
to drive, when the team became unmanage-
able and rah off,'1 the child being unable to
control them. They ran over two children
in the streas and one of the men fell from
the wagon. ' The man" nd one of the
children received comparatively slight
though painful injuries, but the other
child was hurt so badly that her recovery
is considered doubtful. The men who
should have bad ' the team in charge were
intoxicated, whioh offly makes tbe, case
more aggravated and criminal,

Bold. A spry-looking young1 fellow ar.
rived at Lancaster, a, few days ago, and
registered at oua of the first hotels. Rep
resenting himself as one of the owners of a
noted trotting horse of the country, and
professing 'to 'be in- Lancaster for the par-
pose of buying the fast Lancaster nag,
Lizzie Keller; ' - lie was soon surrounded by
the 'sports, who were so much pleased
with him, after a day's' acquaintance, that
they JusUted ou entertaining, him at a sup
per at Lancaster s arutocratio restaurant.
The stranger waa fascinating, and the bot
tle passed round freely. In the course of
the evening a bet was made between some
of the party on pitching quoits, and the
young man (no longer a "stranger") was
asked to bold the stakes, whiO he cheerfully
did just to oblige -his new-made friends.
But tbe next morning it was found that the
young man and the stakes had vamosed.
The Lancaster sports are not happy now.

Mr. Editor : I ask you to please publish
this for tbe Kansas sufferers. I have no
doubt but you have seen before this reach
es you the . condition of affairs in Kansas,
through the wostern papers. Our crops
are a total failure, from reasons of the
Chintz Hue and Grasshoppers. and out
here in these new counties there has been
no time to lav up anything for the rainy
days, as a great many came here to get
homes and brought but little capital, and
when euoh a plague as the grasshoppers
came among us and destroy our crops and
leave us without anything to subsist on.
I ask you to publish this, aud if any of your
subscribers may see fit to donate anything,
such as underclothing, shoes, stockings,
etc., will be thankfully received. I have
many acquaintances in Perry county, and
when a boy lived In Fishing Creek Valley.
With this I remain yours truly,

owned by widows.". The query naturally
arose whether he wanted to buy a widow
or marry a farm.
