Commendable. We are reliably Informed that
the landlords of Georgetown, this county, have
made It a rule for several years, to close thcli

parts of the couuty would imitate.

A Runaway Enoini.-Od Friday morning
last, as engin No. 128, i about ready to take
a train westward over the '. ft E. Railroad, the
engineer stepped Into tbs legrapb office In the
upper yard for orders. returning he found
that the fireman had open the valve and step
sed on the trnder, whea t cotrpllng broke, sepa
rating the engine from t train. In a second
the engine was out of rer i, and pnssed over the
bridges at lightning Sj ed. Telegraphic do
spatches were at once s t to the different sta
tions on the read with oiirs to switch the run
away locomotive off the ti 'k. The despatch had
scarcely reached Lewlsbut station when the lo
comotive came along Iik4 mcteot. At Mlllon
station the switch was tilled open Just in time,
and the locomotive cie rushing over the
switch Into the grnnnd mrly two sqnarei before
It came to a bnlt, knot-Utg the sills Into splin
ters, and making the sties, lnylue on the truck,
fly In every direction. Hrtunatcly the mnll tralu
which was about due atMlltmi, had not arrived.
Had It been on the trnk at the time, It would
have resulted In a serlofe loss of life. The mnll
arrived about two mlmrs after the locomotive
left the track. The gilge Indicated 168 ibs of
steam enough tohnvlrun to Muncy station.
What Is remarkable tit onglne nustnincd .but
little damage, to Its nWilnery. The cow-catcher
nnd forward truck werj completely demolished.
A wreck crew was ldmedlatcly seut after the
ruoawny engine from this place, and In run-
nlog on the siding at Lewlabtrg station to clear

mutilated above the knee, by Coming In contact

i-essed by Dr. Haupt'.
Thb runaway engine, on Trlday last, has been
repaired and started on a trip on Monday last.
Tub Triennial Asbesrbent. The assessor
and assistant assessors of the East Ward In the
borougb of Bnnbury, completed their lubors last
week, In making the triennial assessment. As
there has been considerable dissatisfaction In
regard to assessments of property, the assessors
In the cast ward this year, complied strictly with
the law, nnd went together from property to
property, to examine before tbey put tho valua
tion upon It. Having nothing for a guide to go
by, each one after looking nt the property, put
down the amouut of valuation he placed npon It,
and then they compared the figures, and when
they differed, made au average of the valuation.
This mode teemed to be the best to get at the
real valuation. In former assessments one of
the assessors would go round and note merely
some- of tho Improvement, and then copy the
rest from a former assessment book which
In many Instances made the assessment very un
equal. This has been the case in properties on
Market street, which was assessed no higher
than property located several squares nwny,
when the former really would bring ten times
the amount at a cash sale. We believe that it
should be the duty of every assessor to adopt
the course of the present assessors, us it will not
only equalize the taxes, but will give more gen
eral satisfaction to every property holder.
Another new feature adopted by the assessors
of the enst ward was the taking of. the census.
In this way the census can be taken more cor-
rectly, nnd It will coasuuie no extra time. In ,
the east ward the number of Inhabitants Is at I
present 1633. It Is also ascertained that n large
number hnd removed from that ward since the
change on the railroads, and have gono to other
parts.
A Generous Bisiness Man. Wc lately visit
ed the planing mills of Ira T. Clement, of this
place, where we found everything moving as ifno
panic had been heard of. The mills are running
HI met! run l-lipucity, and nin ... nrravu
men find regular employment. Mr. Clement ge
nerously retained all bis hands when the panic
started, aud as work slackened,' he found em
ployment for them in building new houses lu dif
ferent parts of the town. He has about thirty
men employed, nnd though no Income from his
lumber business, lie manages to keep them ut
work to maintain their families during the win
ter." This is certainly showing n most generous
disposition If more of our wealthy men would
follow Mr. Clement in this particular, there
woulu be much less distress among those who
nre dependent upon their labor for support, and
the cry of hnrd times would not be heard on eve
ry street corner. Mr. Clement Is also offering
vacant lots for aulo at low prices for the purpose
of getting other parties to build to create work,
thus trying to extend his generosity still further.
Drawing Lessons. Prof. Hardcastlo, who
has been very successful in giving lebsons in
drawing, in the north-east school house, is uow
forming au udvanced class iu mechanical and
perspective drawing aud shading, which will
meet every Wednesday evening. Those who de
sire to be correctly taught in this fine branch
should make application at once. Prof. Hard
caslle has bud large experience In drawing, both
in Etigland and In this country, and has the best
recommendations as a teacher. The lessons are
given at a very reasonable price, so as to reach
all classes of younit men who wish to perfect
themselves ns master mechanics. We have a
large uumber of these In this place, who shonld
not fail to accept of this fine opportunity.
An Unkind Cut. Tho following extract from
the Wattotitouii Iteeord, edited by that fearless
Democrat, John J. Auten, explains itself:
"Toe Bunbury "Democrat." and Suuhurv
Amerknn," are discussing the actions of the
out-troiug and iu-toming Register and Recorders
ol'tbis counly, relative to a pa i eel of blanks. It
appears during the six year Leisenrlbg was in
office, he got bis blanks printed In Philadelphia,
una wuen nis term expired no nad nearly one
huudred quire led, which be sold to Bhipmun.
v e are a disinterested party in the matter, not
having bad any business with Juke Lelsenriog
cloce be shaved us a dollar on m county order.
and from Shlpman we expect no patronage nor
will we ask any favors. Getting those blanks In
Philadelphia was one of i.eisenring s many mean.
scurvy transactions, and Shipinan did himself no
credit by tuklag them off bi bauds.

Hon. Win. M. Rockefeller and Associate

of Viewers of roads, petitions, Ao. Ills Honor
then briefly charged the Grand Jury (the fore

Esq.), and Court adjourued until two o'clock
A very unusual thing t.ccured In rcgnrd to the

court met at two o'clock
Com vs Edwiu Wallace, burglary. Clement

A synopsis of the cusm is that Wallace concluded
to have some fun ono night and took with him a
couple of Indies und broke Into the house of one
Mr. Dawson, Mr. D. not being nt home at the
time. When ho returned he found his household
goods iu great confusion and immediately arrest
ed Wallace who was indicted for burglary. Now
the act of asfcmbly In this case requires not only
entering and brcuking,but a felonious intern, and
as the evidence did not show tho last of these,
which is the most Important, thajury brought In
a verdict or uut guilty.
Com vs Thos. Morton. Arson. Mr. Rhodes,
counsel for defence. This Is the trial of Tom.
for bumlug down the stables in town here a
month or so ago. Evidence for the common
wealth shows that Tom was seen several times
by different parties near the fire, and that he said
he was with a person that evening who set the
buildings on fire. The defence showed that Tom
was in Walters' barber (hop five minutes before
the fire occurred and by Dr. Cummings that he
considered him insane. Verdict not gnllty.
