Mrs. David Heory of this place, mentioned week before last, as hav'm burned herself terribly iu lighting an oil lamp, wlrd from the effects of her injuries on Thursday last. Killed. Hogh P. Caul, a highly respected citizen of Chiilisqusque towuslup, was instantly Billed on the 24th u'.t., by his horse. He and his nephew were engaged in pariug or burning a horse's hoof, when the animal became unmanage able, and by a sadden jerk of the reins, threw Mr.Canl forward with such force as to dislocate his neek aud cause instant death. Mr. Caul was unmarried, and aboat firty nine years of age. A bos f famucl Sterner, of Chil.lsqnaquo ;owoship, came near Josing his life last week by 'the fall of a tree. The tro fell upon the head f the young man badly fracturing his skull and lack part of head. JJe is on fair way of jeooverv. ThB Danvilln Intelligencer, in noticing tiiat an other murderer has escaped from the rickctty jail at Sunbury, says : This man, John Flynn, after a long trial, was convicted of murder in the second degiee, aud scnteuced to tea years imprisonment, yet the ve ry first ni'lit alter, he picks the lock and de parts. Now who is answerable for this mau's escape? Some will nay the Sheriff, which to a certain extent may be true ; but he is not half so autweruble as the Commissioners of Nonhum hciland county, who provide such a prison. It is about time for ths press to Me.ik out aclus.. such a ccudilion of things. We read daily of murders being conimille'i, of banks iud private houses in the interior towns aud throughout llie country b,-injr robbed by the most desperate of men, wlio if caught, Iaugii at me oi uen-s held in tlie weak and insecure jails to be found in most of the counties of the Commonwealth which never c:m hold such characters unless the She riff stands watch with a loaded pistol. And while on the subject, we know of no jail in a worse condition than the Jail in this county. It cau"t hold, for some time never has held, any desperate character who desired to escape, unless the Sheriff hobbled aud chained him to the floor. A Phantom Hop. On the evening of the 27lh ult., a phantom hop was indulged in by our friends of Shamokin, in Kut goer's Hall. The Time says : "About eighty guests were in attendance, and when this large convocation moved off in the Grand March all costumed in habiliments of spotless white and masked to correspond they presented the appearance of au animated grave, yard coming forth iu response to a summons for spirits from the vasty deep. As soon as the 3lt. Carmel string band btruck up one of its liveliest airs, these ghostly apparitions began to move about with an activity that was in striking con trast with the way in which we had seen well trained ghosts perform in heavy tragedy. Pro-peily-broughten.up ghosts always stalk about with a deliberate, thirty-six inch step, aud talk In supulehral tones ; but these phantoiuic beings were nimble in their movements, and when they did talk their voices were entirely unlike the steamboat utterances of a theatrical spectre. At the expiration of an hour, orders were given to these materialised spirits to form in line aud unmask. A rotund phantom advised us, in Teu tonic dialect, to "guck aniohl now for t siinlich sphoss," and the laughter aud merriment that raug through that hall confirmed his predictions. Dancing continued until a late hour. Among those w hom we noticed as especially adept iu tripping the light fantastic toe were Mr. aud Mrs. Andy Reese of Sunbury, Mrs. Helm, Mrs. Bea ton Smith, Mrs. Evert, Mr. and Mrs. Hammer aud the Misses Weaver. Arnoug the guests from abroad we recognized Miss Awl, Mr. and Mrs. Reese, aud E B. Wcstfall orSuubury ; Miss Wi thington, and Mrs. Taggart and daughter of Northumberland; C. F. Kopitzeh and two sis ters of Pottsviile ; Mr. aud Mrs. Thompson or Williamsiort, and Al. Randall, Esq., formerly Fire Marshal of Philadelphia." School Teacueks, like other flks,are not lin frcqtiently anuoxed by their scholars perpetrating jokes upou them. But when an ingenious young mind vises aud equals bis teacher, the young hopeful should be complimented. This, howev er, was not the case lately in a certain school room, in the lower end of this county. The teacher in this case, who is expected to "teach the young idea how to shoot," when told the truth, perhaps was unwi.ling to yield, and resorted to vengeance to appease his angry feel ings. The joke, though luuoceutly perpetrated, is a good one. The teacher gave out to his scho- j lars that they must deliver speeches on declama tion day, and if not prepared they would be harshly dealt with. There was a busy time among the lads iu hunting up old newspapers from which to press iuto service ideas. A bright lad happened lo secure a copy of the America of several weeks back, where he found the fol lowing, and readily adapted it to his piece : "Oh ! Lord of love look from above, Upon ns weary scholars ; We've hired a fool to teach our school, And we py him fifty dollars." No sooner had the pupil delivered his piece than the master became enraged, and brought the lad uudwr the rod. A suit was brought by the parent against the teacher for an attempt to cheek the lad's progress In bis search for know ledge, aud for damaging bis back to a considera ble extent. When they appeared at the Justice's office, the matter was amicably settled by the teacher payiug costs to the amount of seven or eight dollars. He went home a wiser man. We were lately shown In a cell, In the old rick ctty jail, which was haudsomcly decorated by the occupants with a lot of ornamental articles manufactured by the prisoners, viz : James Do nohue, John Martin, and Mr. Ruch. The for mer, sometime ago, procured a lot of empty ci. gar boxes, and with a common pocket knife, made a lot of beautiful brackets. He was fol lowed by the other two, and for some time they were engaged in making all kinds of fancy work. Among the articles are paper baskets, of a varie ty of colors. Paper crosses, wooden chains, brackets, &c, of ro ist beautiful designs, which showed great mechanical skill, and excellent taste. Many of the article were sold at good prices to parties visiting them, who will no doubt prize them highly on account of the ingenuity and workmausbip displayed by these men. Death of Mrs. Mcllen. Wc regret to an nounce the death of this kind-hearted old lady, whose useful life closed on Tuesday last. Though not well off in this world's goods, that which she had acquired through a long life of industry was frequently drawn upon in aid of the poor and the afflicted. Her home was the home of the stranger taken sick on his way without means of support, aud many of the same character who met with accident ou the railroad, found kind attendance and a home with "Grand mother Mullen." Many will regret and feel her absence, the has gone to receive the reward which a charitable and kind-hearted person me rits. Mis. Mullen had been ill of hrart disease, and a combination of other complaints which result ed in death. Iu her ueath the poor will lose a friend, aud, In her sphere of usefulness, the town a citizen whose place, perhaps, will never be filled. Committed to Jail. A boy named Bird was arrested a few days ago chuiged with stealing a coat hanging in front of Rothschild's clothing store. The theft had been committed sometime ago but the boy was not captured until this week. Bird was taken before Justice Helm, where another charge, of robbing the money drawer in the States Hotel, was awaiting him, and in default oi one thousand dollars bail he was .transferred to Suubury tor safe keeping. On the h.tter complaint the boy was arrested last June, but broke out of the lock-up and es caped. He acknowledged the theft of the coat. Shamokin Times.

A few days ago we met a man on the street who handed ns the price of one year's nubscripiion to the Tivc, remarking at the same time "that puts me six mouths ahead." We replied that as he was a new subscriber It paid f.r a year in advance. "No, sir," answered he with some emphasis, "I have been reading your paper for the last six months, borrowing it from other people, and now I want to be da ted back to the time when I ought to have sub scribed for It." He Insisted upon having the entry on our hooks "dated back," and we have accordingly done so. We would like to publish bis name but are not authorized to make it pub lic Shamokin Tittee. As there are a number who read the American regularly without subscribing, we shall keep a watch to discover an "honest man" among them also. Hion School.

On Monday evening last a sled, on which were twenty-one persons, ladl'-s and gentlemen, of this place, broke through the ice on the river a short distance below Wiulield where they had been to attend a protracted meeting. The entire party, with the exception of three persons, were precipitated into the water, which at the locality of the accident is about four feet deep, notwith standing this fact we are happy to record that all were rescued. The night was cold ana to keep Trom being frozen the party were compelled to walk In their drenched clothing from the place of the accident to their homes about four miles distant.

On Weduesday morn ing, about 2 o'clock, a firebroke out in the upper story of the residence of Mr. X. Ganger, on the corner of Second and Main streets, opposite the Mansiou House, aud it was entirely consumed. The furnitnrc"store of Evcritt and Hilcinau and T. II. Swcitzer's restaurant, located In the build ing, were also burned. There is no doubt but that the fire was started by an incendiary in the hall leading to the Red Man's room in the upper story.

Tus Harrisbnrg Telegraph, is responsible for the following. If the story is true, this "Char ley Couse" is very likely to be expelled from bis bordiug place, as the landlord will certainly find out what has become of his cats : The Champion. Charley Cousc, train agent on the Northern Central railway, is the champion cat shootist. A week ago he was laid up siek iu Sun'jury, and when convalescing thought to be guile the tedious hours with some amusements. So he procured a gun and ammunition, and kill ed some of the numerous cats that ii; tested the neighborhood of his hotel. Charley says iu a very short time the bodies of six defunct feiiues strewed the yard, and it wasn't a good day for cats. The last one shot was knocked clean over a six-foot high coal pile fact. WniTE Washing. A western paper gives an accouut of a number of prisoners who escaped from a jail, not much belter than our own. The editor says the jail had been recently repaired, and "thoroughly w hite washed from gaTet to cellar." Yet these incorrigible and ungrateful villains, failed to appreciate quarters made at tractive and comfortable by vhite tcmh, aud fled without even leaving their compliments for the Grand Jury, who had no doubt recommendsd white wash as an infallible remedy iu preventing the breakiug of jails. As we have had similar experience In the col lecting of mouey, as the following by the editor of the Heaver liodical Argus, we copy It to show how difficult it is for editors to gronpe their way through the panic : Gathering "Filthy Lucrb" An Editor's Experience. Collecting money jur,t now is an up-hill business. Last week a genteel-looking, well-dressed man, apparently about forty years of age, "whose sands of life" didn't look as though they had near ruu out, stepped up to us and said he would pay every cent he owed us if he "lived until Saturday niitbt." We presume our rcsjectable-looking friend died, for we have neither seen nor beard Iroin him since. Peace be to his memory. Another said he would pay us "iu a day or two as sure us you were born." Query Did the man die or were we never boru I Another said he would "settle as sura as shoot ing." Wc are led to the conclusion that shoot ing is mighty uncertaiu. Another said he "hoped to go to the d I If he did not pay ns withiu three days." llaveu't seen him since ; suppose he's gone ; trust at least he has not hoped in vaiu. Quite a number said they "would see you to morrow." These meu have been stricken bliud or else to-morrow has never come. One man told us six months ago that he would pay up as soon as he got some money. The man would not lie, for we have admired his veracity for the last ten years. So of course he has never got n cent since. Poor fellow. He has our sympathy. May his shadow never grow less, and his days be long in the land.

The attention of the borough aud towubhip officers iu this county, is directed to the following sections of an act passed by the Legislature last winter : An Act to regulate the mnnner of increasing the indebtedness of municipalities, to provide for the redemption of the same, aud to impose pe nalties for the illegal increase thereof.

The Washington Steam Fire Enginb Gift Concert. The managers of the Gift Concert have given notice to their agents to discontinue the sale of tickets on February 15th, in order to make final arrangements for the drawing, which will positively take place at the time advertised, on Tuesday, February 23d. Our citizens should secure their tickets at once, as the time is short, and many, no doubt, will wait until the last mo ment, and some will, perhaps, delay the matter nutil too late. The very laudable object for which the Gift Concert is given for the purpose of liquidating the debt on the Company's steam fire engine should enlist the active sympathy and aid of all our citizens, and especially is it im portant to every owner of a dwelling that this company should succeed, as its services are like ly to be wanted at any moment. The citizens of our neighboring towus and ci ties are also earnestly requested to lend a help ing hand. This company has promptly respond ed to calls for help from abroad in time of great need, and by its prompt assistance has saved a large amount of property. Besides the good pur pose for which the Concert is given, every ticket holder will staud a chance iu the drawing of the premiums ranging from $1 to tl,000.0. tJet your tickets immediately. J. W.

J Jordan, January 27, 1875. Mr. Editor : As 1 have noticed in your paper, under the heading of "A Bold Act," which was copied out of the Daily, stating "that two strangers stopped at Mr. Steel's bouse to trade horses, but could not agree in a trade und left, but that after Steele left home the parties accomplished a trade in his absence, but not lu accordance with Steele's desire or consent, therefore, Steele went to Hillbush, secured a warrant, and had the par ties arrested, (I may say rascals,) ami they de livered up Steele's horse, and took their horse, or old rib back, settled with Steele, paid the costs and skedaddled." One of the party was named Noll, hailing from Berks county. He makes it his business to trade horses, but he should have a little more honesty. Some time ago a youug uiau called at the house of Jacob Masser, in our township al about 12 o' clock at night, desiring lo hoi row a horse from Mr. Masser, offering his overcoat until he le turr.ed the horte. But Mr. Master did not feel inclined to loan his horse, and as he watched his horses, the rogue could not make a horse clip there, so he struck for the next farm np the val ley, stopped at the barn of widow Masser, and without asking the widow, took a horse. When lie came near Uuioutown, the horse got tired of his rider, saddled him off, and relumed home ward. The next morning the widow found her horse in the highway. The young man lives iu the borough of Uuioutown. I will not mention his name ; maybe he will do better hereafter. Now about the Ring In Sunbury. Since Vas tine is out of office, and Peter Gray is defeated, the Democratic Ring have fail play again In the Commissioners office. They can carry on things again to their salikfaction. I am sorry i that our friend, George V . 1 routiuan, will be deprived of the collecting of couuty aud State taxes. There are no hopes for him since D. M. Schwartz is iu the Commissioners' oUiceas clerk, (i. W. Troutuiau was the most prompt collector we had for many years. LOOKOUT. Don't Hark, Hack, Coiigu, ('ought Cough is a symplon by which various diseased conditions of the throat, bronchial tubes aud lungs manifest themselves, lint whether it arises from the irritation produced iu the throat and larynx by taking cold, from an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption, or from various other causes, nothing wiil allay it more spccdi'.y or cure it more permanently than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It does not matter whether it be a recent attack, or a linger ing congh, the Discovery Is In cither case equally well adapted for its relief ui:d permanent cure. In fact, It will cure a cough iu one-half the time necessary lo cure It with any other medicine, and it docs it, not by drying it up, but by re moving to cause, sulKluing the irritation, and healing the affected pail. No lime should be lost in commencing the n of a proper medicine for the relief of a cough, for unless this course is pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the lungs Is liable lo result. Golden Medical Dis covert Is sold bv nil dealers In medicine. The Ahline tor February, is quite thfl equal of me January m variety, aud it has one or two features of eveu rare excellence. Artistically, there arc few better drawings, aud scarcely ever any better wood-engravings, than '"Keeping the Peace," a dog-picture by Peter Moran, quite worth of Landseer in his best days, with which the number opens. The late John A. Hows sup plied, just before his death, til'! three exquisite 'Views of the Couemnugh," which follow. "Two Pleasant Occupations," und "The For tunate Moment, are companion pieces, alter Rudaux, pleasantly telling the cone --s ooof that rural love-story of which the Aldit t h s before given more than one charming limp. - by the same artist. "Hunting the Siag" is a noble full-pape picture, well conveying that grand sport iu the costumes and manner of the olden time ; and a singularly well-drawn little picture, without name, but showing two girls rolling about on the summer grass, and three views ot oddly beautiful Referboiough Cathedral, one of the handsomest in England, make up the art contents of the number, really perfect enough, well to warrant the secondary name : th;; "Art Journal of America." The literature of the number, meanwhile, quite keeps pace with the pictures, in excellence aud variety. the Aldine t.ompanv has determined to es tablish an Art Union, simuhir, to the well-know u Art Union iu Eugland, aud distribute its works of art, both sculpture and paintings, which arc constantly collecting, among its subserioeis. Art premiums, valued st 2,500, will lie oistri- buted among each serices of 5,000 subscribers.

The buyers of the New York and Oriental Tea Company, can, by a new process, not generally known, detect the presence of adulteration in ail its forms ; and the Company will continue to maintain the high character it has hitherto sus tained, by selling none but Genuine Tea. 2d. Because our comrfland of capital enables us to import largely for CASH, and thus to sell cheap. We buy all our Teas at the Ports of China and Japan, and thus save many inter mediate profits and charges. 3d. Because we have inaugurated a new sys tem of busiuess, originated a New Idea.
