Al-voiNTED. E. C. Pcrchard, Esq., has lntely
been nppointed agent for the Mineral R. K. aud
Mining Company, in place of C. F. Fisher, dec.
Mr. Perchard like Mr. Fisher, is quite a young
nmn, but what he is lacking iu years is fully
made up in practical business experience. Mr.
P. is located at the weigh scales, and all business
from the Shauiokin coal region of that mam
moth corporation, will be transacted under his
supervision, ne comes among as a stranger,
and brings with Win recommendations of the
highest character for integrity aud business
qualifications. We extend to him a hearty wel
come to our community, and we trust that he
will become a permanent resident in our midst.
Fike Crackers. As there has been a great
drouth for some time and everything is dry, boys
should understand that the explosion of fire
crackers during the c-xtrcmcly dry weather, may
end loss fuuny than they expect. On to-morrow,
the 4th of July, which is our ualional gala day,
will be generally celebrated among the boys with
the usual explosives. Too much care cannot be
taken in their patriotic demonstrations. Shed
roofs, &c., should be avoided. Remember Port
land when you touch off your crackers.
AccmcsT to as Oil. Train. On Sunday
morning last, an ax'.cof one of the cars broke at
Watsoutowii, when a wooden oil car caught fire,
and the flames spread to six other wooden cars
containing three oil tubs each. Au explosion
took place, seuding the burning fluid iu every
direction. The cars belonged to the Empire line,
and were entirely destroyed.
As alarm of fire was occasioned on last Friday
evening about 12 o'clock through the burning of
ashed on the fairgrounds of the Union Park
Association. The whole fire department were
out. TheTre was the work of incendiaries, and
suspicion poiuts strongly to three young men as
the parties coucerned. It Is hoped that the ori
ginators, whoever they may be, will be fouud,
and an example made of them by giving them
the full term provided by law for such offence.
Tue Tom Collins who wrote the sensational
article In the Daily on "Monday last, iu reference
to our esteemed friend Jacob R. Clark, Esq., of
Lower Aucusta. as having made a pledge to car
ry the mail on his 80th birth day, which he ac
complished on the S4th of June, as usual, vanes
a trifle from the facts, inasmuch as there is but
a single statement iu the. article that is true.
We cannot help complimenting 1 om on uis ani
lity at getting up a good yarn. Mr. Clark as
sures us that no such pledge was ever inane
that he was but 70 years old ou the 20th instead
of the 24th of June, and that he did not carry
the mail on that day ; that the distance between
Sunbury and Augusta Is but five miles instead of
seven as stated bv the Iail. The only state
ment tnie is that he became bondBinan for his
successor.
Mr. Clark is extensively known throughout
this section of country as a highly honorable and
intelligent old gentlemen. He has no laitn in
Tom's sensations. We don't make this contra
diction of the statement to discourage Tom, but
merely to show what an ingenious brain he Has
as this extension of ideas indicate.
k.v Hi KTisn anu its Uem.-i.ts. On sun-
day last some boys went on the hill, east of the
borough, to cajrture the large black snake re
ported as haviug been seen several inn .u..
i.. iht wieiiiitv. Not finding his snake-
ship, they concluded that he had crawled into a
hollow tree. Under this supposition me, i
Plied a match to the tree, which burned rapidly,
. . ! 1 1. . l..,rt
and the stroug current oi air carneu
a lot of brush which Ignited and soon the fire
.... ..ncni.trolablc. It spread rapidly over the
hill towards the grain fields of Mr. 0. Gaul, and
W. P. tschive. A large lot of cord wood aud
saw-logs, belonging to Mr. Thos. Cooper were
entirely destroyed. A number of persons from
town went to the assistance 01 tne panic?, uu
the progress of the tire was partially stopped
for the night. On Mouday afternoon a heavy
storm can.e up. and the fire spread rapidly, but
was soon chctked by a slight fall of rain. Mr.
Cooper has sustained heavy loss, as ins umocr
over the entire tract Is consumed. Messrs Gaul
aud Schive are lso heavy '.osers by the fire.
The Ore on Sunday evcuing made a brilliant
light, and most of our people were out until a
late hour, watching its movements as it spread
along the side of the hill.

While this glorious holiday is being celebrated
in nearly every city, town and hamlet through
out the land, we look for a grand gala day in
Sunbury. The fire department are expected to
enjoy themselves with our neighbors in Selins
grovc, and we feel assured thnt their expecta
tions will be more than realized oo the occasion.
A grand reception and ovation awaits them by
the citizens of that town, and their visilt no doubt
will be pleasant. The citizens who have conclud
ed to remain at home will ctlcbrate the day in
Market Square Park, iu which everybody from
town and country, are invited to participate. A
free lunch will be provided, and the Sunbury
Cornet Band will be present to enliven the occa
sion. The Declaration of Independence will be
read and speeches made. Sometime iu the af
ternoon a trip will bo made on the steamboat.
This is intended for children nndcr 14 years, ir
respective of station in life, under the supervi
sion of a committee.
The evening will lie occupied in dancing iu the
Park.
New Jail. A correspondent in thf-VUtoniun
of last week, strongly recommends" ttfe building
of a new jail, aud says the walls (of the pre
sent structure) are ricketty, damp and filthy j
and the building a nuisance. That the labor
and expense that the Sheriff has applied towards
keeping It iu as comfortable and decent a condi
tion as possible has availed but little-. Well, we
rather guess if the Grand Jurors were, to occupy
ibe building for several hours, a new jail would
be built speedily. Why Northumberland county
is to be tortured with such a uuisauce we are not
prepared to say, but we arc satisfied that if a
committee on cruelty to animals were to exam
ine it, they wonld at once condemn it as a place
. . . .... ... I
too unhcalthv for animals to be confined iu. We
know that the Sheriff has made great efforts to
make it tolerable for the prisouer", but the
stench arisiug from its moldy old walls, cannot
be destroyed for the want of proper ventilation.
At the time of the erection of the present jail,
three quarters r a century ago, the laws of
health were not so well understood, and the
building was constructed withont any provisions
being made for the protection of the health of
those who might occupy it. Gloomy and dismal
indeed, is the aspect or ever y apartment, and he
who becomes the unfortunate occupant is doubly
imprisoned. Slsould an epidemic take place
in our midst, the county jail would abundantly
supply it with its victims, and do much towards
spreading the disease among us. Any one who
may examine the jail will find it as we believe it
to be. a nuisance.
Why a new jail is not built we cannot sec. The
county is in si much better financial condition
than she ever was. Other counties are far ahead
or us in this respect. Where we expend money
nnnu.illv to keen our prisoners in the Eastcru
Penitentiary, theyre making money out r their
prisons, in addition to which their umlulngs can
iw i-nt in m. .iui.a ana ucaniiv cuuuuran. i-t
us build a prison 6imilar to lliosc in couniics in
w hich the prisoners are put to use, and tney win
rn mnrp ihnn the expense of keeping. While
we naid last vear f 1,666 16 for supporting our
prisoners in the penitentiary, without calculal
w ...
a
ing the amount of costs of taking them inere.ine
material manufactured in the Schuylkill county
prison amounted to about five hundred dollars
above all expenses. The money expended for
criminals at Philadelphia, would remain in our
midst, and the couuty would eventually receive
a revenue instead or paying expenses.
It has also been the expeneuce or otlier cm
munities. that the greatest reformation in pri-
-soncrs always occurs in those having short sen
tences. Had we a prison in which pnsouers
could be confined for a short term, in healthy
apaitmcuts, with some useful employment 10 oc
cupv their minds and bauds, wc could expect
a diminution of crime. Idleuess, especially in a
eomiunuitv of characters such as are found in
prisons, is the great promoter of crime. In this
respect there U no worse prison in tne state man
ours. Thcvare free to communicate and they
have plenty of time to do so. The worst mingles
with the best, and in a short time they are re
duced to a common level. Curd playing is their
pastime, profauity their language, obsceuc hooks
their literature, and eventually hell their doom.

Ges. D. C. Watson. Again we are ca.led

most highly respected citizens or tlie couniy.
Gen. D. C. Watson died at his residence, near

the doctors for eight or nine weeks previous to
his death, and finally died suddeuly.
Gen. Watson was born in Delaware townsuip,

3d. WiisiinjTtW ami Jafkion. Their virtues
and services are sung by a nations voice. A res
cued country hymns their names; Dumb be
the tongue which refuses to praie "Tlie father
of his country :' Paralyzed be the nrm that

HypkopuobU. There have been several ter
rific cases of hydrophobia in New York recently.
One or the victims was himself an intelligent
medical man, who had w ritten a number of arti
cles to show that the disease was imaginary, a
nervous derangement canned by rear. How any
intelligent man could havb doubts on this subject
is surprising, and ouly goes to show that scien
tific men often commit greater blunders than
those caused by stolid iguorance.
Broke into the pocket of the editor of this pa
per, some time during this week, a ten cent piece.
Whom it belongs to or where it came from is a
mystery to us, and we earnestly request the own
er to come and take it away; we have been
without money so long its use Is entirely forgot
ten. Upon oue side there is a beautiful young
lady with a handkerchief to her eyes weeping
to think that she has no mate, and a night-cap
on a pole as a sign of distress.

Shamokin Township, June 20.
Editor American : I presume that your read
ers will uot deem it news if told we have ex
tremely dry we-'ther, and that the potato bugs
are quite numerous in this section. Our harvest
is upon us, it promises a good yield of bread
stuffs. The general health is good. Notwith
standing the drought and bugs, we have much
for which, I fear, we are not sufficiently thank
fol. On last Sabbath the Baptists dedicated their
new house of worship. It is a Deal, well finish
ed brick building, in a beautiful location, near
the old turnpike, seven miles from Sunbury.
The congregation was large ; the heat excessive;
the dinner well got up, aud duly appreciated ;
the ice cream and lemonade, cool and refreshing.
The appropriate services were conducted by
Geo. M. Spratt, D. D., or Philadelphia, (once a
member or this old church,) Rev. Mr. Zimmer
man, or Lower Augusta, aud J. O. Criclilow, or
Lewisburg.
Church goers, who heard Dr. Spratt in the
morning; Kev. Zimmerman In the afternoon,
aud Rev.Colburn in the evening, say they never
heard three better 6erraons from the same pul
pit, on one day, and I cordially agree with them.
The preachers appeared truly devoted to their
Master's service. C.

HAVING within the last fw years completed
the invention of a Steam Slido Vale detien
ed for the purposed of removing the pressure
from the valve as it exists at pesent, we will
warrant for six mouths and place one in any Lo
comotive, any Ocean Steamer, any Inland Stea
mer or any other stationary engine. It Is simple,
cheap, effective and indestructable ; and saves
fuel and machinery, it moves its weight ouly.
'o alteration in any part or the machinery is re
quired to apply it, and the time oecnpied in sub
stituting it for the ordinary 'D' valve need not be
over hair an hour.
J5?"U is indispensable at the mines where hoist
in;; is done. With this valve the engiue can be
reversed without shutting off the steam, thus
saving time and avoiding labor. This valve can
be moved easily with one hand when surrounded
by any amount of pressure. Address
