We received a call a fow days since, from Mr. Cornman, of the Hunting don Monitor. Wo are sorry that we hap pened to be absent, but hope to bo more fortunate should he call again. We consid er the Monitor the beat paper published in Huntingdon county. Those interested will do well to bear in mind the fact that where the right to vote depends upon the payment of tax it must be paid thirty days before the day of elec tion. A tax receipt given after the third day'of October will not avail. As the new election law changes the rule in this respect double precaution should be taken. XjVondcrful Growth of Apples. Last week, Mr. Wm. MchafTc, of this borough, brought to our oflice a twig of an apple tree about fifteen inches in length, having on it over fifty woll formed apples. The bunch had the appearance of an enormous cluster of grapes, and waB a curiosity worth seeing. What is still more remarkable, is the fact that though grown on a large tree there was no fruit except on this one limb. Republican Conference. The meeting of the Republican Conferees for this Dis trict, took place last week, at Mifllintown, On the 87th ballot, Col.

Rob't. Mc- Meen, of Mifllintown, Secretary. ' Cattle Plscaso In York County, Pa. The York oounty Democrat of last weok says : " The now cattlo disease which the past week made its appearance in this vi cinity has made sad work among some of our finest thorough bred herds. At this writing, Monday, P. A. & A. & 8. Small have lost twelve head of Alderny, Ilolstein, and Durham cattlo, one a Durham bull of about two thousand pounds weight. Sev eral more are sick and are expected to dio. The disease, generally, kills in about twenty-four hours. Several cows also died in the neighborhood supposed to have been aflbcted by the same cause. The origin of the disease here is attributed to the fact of drove of Texas cattle having been pastur- in Mclntyre's moadow, a few weoks ago, oflor which Alessrs. Small s cattle broke down the fence from the meadow adjoining and grazed on the Mclntyre's meadow after the Texas cattle had loft. It said by experienced drovers that native cattle are liable to this disease if put in the same pasture with, or soon after the Texas cattlo. Several of these dead cattle were pencd and examined. The disease- is found in the lungs ; one side becomes in flamed and filled with black blood. The kidneys also become affected, causing blood to pass from the animal whon the disease commences to show itself. The theory is that these Texas cattle are full live ticks, which drop from the animal, get in the grass, and our native cattlo while eating will snuff them up and take them into the lungs, which to them prove poisonouB, while to the Texas cattle they are perfectly harmless. Experienced drovers understand this so well that they will never herd a drove of native cattle in a yard or pasture previous ly occupied by Texas cattlo, knowing dis ease and loss of stock must follow. In some parts of the west laws are in force pre venting Texas cattle from being unloaded from the cars in somo counties. It seems after the drove of Texas cattle in Mcln tyre's meadow was disposed of a drove of nativo stock cattle was put into the same pasture. Wa are informed some of these last wore sold into Warrington, Windsor and probably other townships, and some of them have since died from tho same disease. . . Inspection and Review.

Daley, the postmaster at Fhillipsburg, Pa., was arrested Friday last at the instance . of speoial agent Hays, of the Postofllce De partment, for embezzling money orders fun ds, and stealing money from registered lotter packages. On the first charge be gave bail in the sum of 11,500, but failed to procure tho bail required, $3,000, on tho latter. For somo lime past complaints have been made in that quarter, and the agent has been on the scent but failed hitherto to detect the guilty party. Mr. Daicy, tho postmaster, was so highly es teemed by bis neighbors that to suspect him was thought almost a crime. lie was a membor of the Mothodist church a lead er in the choir and of apparently irre proachable character. The facts in the case which arc incontrovertable, fell like a thunder clap upon his friends. Various other charges of a similar character will be prelerred against him we are told at the proper time. He was placed in the hands of a proper officer, who permitted him to escapo, but he will doubtless soon be ar rested again. Altoona Tribune. An Accident and Miraculous Escape. On Friday evening last, a little grandchild of Dr. Ulrich, two years old, fell from the third-story window of the Doctor's resi dence, on Cumberland street, to the stono pavement beneath, and yet tho little fellow sustained no serious injury. With his luck ho should be educated for a soldier. Lebanon Courier. lirlcf ItcniH. Accident near Ilarrlsbnrg. Quito a serious accident happened on the R. R. near Harrisburg on Tuesday last, result ing in probable fatal Injuries to a Mr. Johnson, conductor of a freight car belong ing to Zacharias & Bon, of Mechanicsburg, and serious injury to Mr. Wilson Cramer, the company's train-master at Mifllintown. The switch loading from the siding to the main north track was loft open, and when the Schuylkill and Susquehanna coal and freight train pulled out, the engino, No. 845, of the Philadelphia and Reading rail road, ran off the track. At the same time the Paoiflo express train eastward bound was seen approaching, yet it was too late to give signal. A collision ensued, in which tho passenger engino. No. 422, had its cylinder broken, and was otherwise damaged. The springs, trucks, boxes and braces on the passenger cars were all knocked out of place. The sides of the cars were considerably scratched, and the glass in some of the windows was badly broken. Some of the steps on the side nearest the freight train were entirely broken off, and others wero considerably twisted. The freight engino, No. 345, was badly used up, one side be ing completoltakon off, steam chest bro ken, the jacket stripped from the boiler, and the machinery badly damaged. Mr. Creamer was riding on the engine of the Pacific express, and was thrown out by the concussion, receiving a cut on bis head, being stunned and considerably bruised about the body. . The two injured men were taken to the Hairisburg depot where every attention was shown them at the hands of the rail way company's surgeons, after which Mr, Johnson was conveyed to bis residence, on North Second street, and Mr. Creamer sent to his home at Mifllintown, on the Mail train west. Doran uuzzara, tho nreman on the pas senger engine, sustained slight bruises and scratches about the face. The engiueor and fireman of the freight engine, as well as the engineer of the passenger engine, escaped without injury. None of the pas sengers on the Pacific express sustained any injury whatever, and they with their baggage were transferred to other cars and sent on their journey. An Attack in the Rear. On Saturday evening a week, as Mr. John Doaring, Jr, of Juuiata county, was on his way borne to Licking Creek, a huge ram came up be hind him very stealthily and struck him with such force as to throw him heavily upon the ground. While in the act of re- gaiuing his feet the animal struck him very severe blow on the side of the faoe, cutting his cneek and otherwise bruising him about the bead. In falling his band came In contact; with a sharp piece of wood that bad been driven into the ground, which entered It in the palm, and pierced, bis band completely through.
