cated at Bells Mills, Blair county, Pa., is
represented as a first class and flourishing
school. Read the advertisement published

Land Scrip foe Sale. lb another col
umn we publish the advertisement of J. M.
Campbell, Surveyor General of Penn'a, of

ern lands.
House Burnt. We learn that a house
belonging to G. D. Goodfellow, of Lawrence
township, and occupied by Ed. Brooks, was
destroyed by fire, together with most of the
household goods, on Saturday, March 2d.
The fire originated from a stove, pipe. Loss
bout five hundred dollars. No insurance.
Tue Weather, etc. During the latter
art of last week the weather was mild and
warm, and, in consequence, our lumbermen
commenced rafting-in their timber. On
Sunday, however, a change took place in
the atmosphere, and on Monday several
inches of snow fell, which had the effect of
stoppingrafting operations, altogether. But.
we presume, they will resume their work
again in a few days, as the air is moderating
at this time.
Something for the Ladies. Here is a
recipe which our lady readers will find re
ally the thing, and quite delightful. It is
ca!!cd "Apple Snow." Try it1. Put twelve
good tart apples in cold water, and set them
on a slow fire. When soft drain off the
water, strip the skins from the apples, core
and lay them in a large glass dish. Beat
the whites of twelve eggs to a stiff frost, put
a half pound of white sugar to the apples,
beat them, and then add the eggs. Beat
the whole to a stiff snow, and turn them into
a dessert dish. - .. .
Tub Depot. The question of the loca
tion of the Railroad depot in this place, has
t-een somewhat agitated during the past
week. The proposition to locate it on the
public ground, in the north end of the Bor
ough, seems to meet with much favor, on
account of its eligible situation '-being loca
ted on the bank of the river, and near the
business portion of thstown. This piece
of ground has never benefitted any one, ex
cept a few individuals, and we see no good
reason why it should not be appropriated to
sonic general public good. That such would
be the case, were the Railroad depot located
thereon, we presume few will deny. At
least, the question of giving the ground for
that purpose is worthy the earnest consider
ation of all who really desire the improve
ment of our Borough, and an increase of
business within its limits.
Dcrr of Township Acxitors. It may
not be generally known that a general law
of the last session of the Legislature, ap
proved April 11, 1866, requires the bounty
accounts, of every district to be carefully au
dited by the Township Auditors, and "pre
pare a condensed statement of the condition
of these finances, and publish the same, at
the cost of the district, for three successive
weeks, in two papers." It not onlyrequires
this duty to be performed by the Township
Anditors, but imposes a penalty of fifty
dollars upon each Auditor who refuses to
comply, one-half of which fine goes Xo the
prosecutor, and the other half to the school
fund of the district. It provides, also, that
the Auditors shall notify the School Direct
ors or other parties having the disbursement
of the bounty funds, to appear before them
tt such time as the Auditors shall fix, for
the purpose of enabling the Auditors to
close up the bounty accounts of the town
ship for the fiscal year.
Mr. Swoope's Lecture. As previously
announced, the Lecture on "Chemical
Force," by II. B. Swoope, Esq., was deliv
ered in the Court House, on Tuesday eve
ning, February 26th. Mr. Swoope's re
markswere terse, beautiful,eloquent, explicit
and eminently edifying to his hearers. The
-chemical experiments, in illustration of his
subject, were truly, grand, magnificent, bril
liant, and highly entertaining to the large
nd appreciative audience in attendance.
Mr, Swoope surely has great reason to be
flattered at the favorable result of his ex
periments, as a like general suctwss is seldom
obtained in such a multiplicity of scientific
elucidation, as on this occasion. Pecuniari
ly, too, the lecture was a success ; the net
proceeds being about $150,00. to be divi
ded between the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches, now in course of erection in this
place in aid of which objects the lecture
was delivered, at the request of a number
of our most prominent and influential citizens.
Ocr Railroad. We understand the
Messrs. Collins' are already on the jrnmnd
with a large force of workmen, const ructing
shanties preparatory to comnienciiig the
work of grading the road between this place
and Phillipsburg.
American-Zinc. There are only three
places in the United States where si eet and
bar zinc is manufactured, and one of these
places is Bethlehem, Pa., from ore taken
from the mines at Friedensville, Lehigh
county. Our zinc is preferable in purity to
the imported article, but cannot compete
with it in price, and is mostly made into
paint. The total consumption of bar zinc
in this country is estimated at ten thousand
tons every year. 1 hat of sheet zinc is much
greater. - -
Constitutional Convention. The
question of calling a Convention to amend
the Constitution of Pennsylvania, is being
discussed and earnestly recommended by a
number of leading journals in the State.
One of the main objects is, to gmrd against
legislative corruption by an increase in the
number of Senators and Representatives,
and electing the latter by single districts,
instead of counties as at present. The pro
ject is one deserving of the serious atten
tion of all who have the interests of the.
commonwealth at heort.
A Strange Account of thC Effect of
a Ball Received in Battle. In the bat
tie of Franklin. November, 1S64, Captain
George G. Biddulph, of ( !o. K, Thirteenth
Illinois V olunteeers, was hit by sonietrunp,
supposed at the time to be a piece of diell,
from its effects upon the Captain's head.
His left eve was entirely destroyed, hi3 left
ear deafened, his jaw so fractured to this
day it is impossible for him toopen his month
only partially, his cheek bone traetureu, a
hole made upon the left side of the nose
where something had tone into the head.
one large tooth on upper jaw split in two
and hair of it rone, and another laree dou
ble tooth turned half round. He resigned
his commission, returned home, and, al
though suffering much from his wound, ex
hibited a true solders bravery in submit
tine without a murmur to his misfortune.
On the morning of December 25, 1S66, he
had a sensation in the head to use his
own expression "as though something had
given way all at once," and the hearing was
instantly restored to his left ear, the sound
of ordinary conversation in the room scsin
ing like a shout at the top of the voice.
This feeling became less painful, until Jan
uary 26th, 18C7. when he felt a severe pain
in the throat and raised considerable blood.
and, after a few hours of suffering, couched
up a rough and battered ounce ball, which
was as ragged as cinders from the furnace,
and measured over an inch in width. Up
on an examination of the throat, it was
found that this raeged mass of lead had
cut its way from behind the throat into the
the throat, about an inch below the palate.
Were the ball smooth, the wonder would
not be great, but the ball is battered and
torn, with sharp points and edges, until it
has lost all resemblance to its original shape.

Washington County. Robert Folger,
indicted for the murder of Robert Dinsuiore,
was tried at the February term of Court.
The case was submitted to the jury on Sat
urday night, Feb. 23d. The murder was
committed on the night of December 14th,
by Folger, and a young man named Mont
gomery. The two called at Mr. Dinsiuore's
house, about four miles from Washington,
and called him out, when he was seized and
murdered. The jury found Folger 44 guilty
of murder in the first degree. 1 ' We Mont
gomery, the son of a prominent iawyer of
Washington, was also tried as an accessory
in the murder, but as Foiger had refused to
testify against him, it is not likely he will
be convicted.
Fayette County. On Wednesday,Feb
ruary 27lh, Gilbert Couehenour, living on
Water street; Conncllsville, was weighing a
quantity of rock powder, to be used in blast
ing sand rock for Smith & Dennison, at
their works rear town. He had about nine
pounds of powder in a bucket in a small
room, within about ten feet of a coal fire
his family, except the youngest child, beins
in the room or at the door, when, without
any apparent cause, the powder exploded.
Mr. Coughenor.r,wife and two children were
in the room, and were horribly burned ; two
other children, who were just outside the
door, were severely burned, one of them be
ing struck by the door (which was blown off
the hinges) and cut severely on the forehead.
A stick of wood had been thrown on the
lire, and it is supposed that a spark flew into
the powder and caused the explosion. The
ignition of such a large quanfity of powder
shook the houses in the neighborhood, and
caused much excitement. How any of the
famiiy escaped with life is miraculous.
Theit sufferings are intense, but there are
hopes of the ultimate recovery of all. The
citizens are doiug everythiyg in their power
to alleviate the sufferings of the family.
Body Found. On Sunday, the 17th of
February, the body of a man was found in
the Ohio river, near Sistersviile. The body
had evidently been in the water for several
days ; the deceased was a middle aged man,
about five and a half feet high ; black hair;
he had on a black coat, black pants, and a
black-barred shirt ; in his pockets were
found a small day book and twenty cents in
money. His head was badly bruised, and
the half of one of his feet was cut off. The
remains, when found, were fast in a portion
of a bridge which had been caught in the
river. It was thought probable that he had
been on thz bridge when it fell and was
washed away. The remains were taken to
Sistersviile and interred. The above may
be the body of the man supposed to have
been lost in the destruction, by the ice
gorge, of the Mahoning bridge.
Man Drowned. On Sunday, the 17th
February, the dead body of a man was
fonnd in the Allegheny river, near Natrona,
ab :ut twenty-five miles above Pittsburg, by
some mon who were crossing the river in a
skiff. The body had apparently been in the
wator for some time. The deceased was of
medium mzc. and had dark hair and sandy
whl-kTs. lie wore striped woolen pants,
g:cv fl innel shirt, blue-barred woolen vest
and heavy boom. He had lost one tront
tooth from the upper jaw, and the right eye
was so much sunken as to lead to the opin
ion th-.t the deceased was blind. There was
nothing found in his pockets but a key and
comb, and nothing could be ascertained
which would lead to the identification of the
body.

OCIIENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.
Tbis medicine, invented by Dr. J.H.Shenok,
of Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve tbe food
and make it into chyme, the first process of di
gestion. L'y cleansing the stc ranch with Scbenck's
Mandrake Pills, the tonic soon restores the eppe
tite. and food that could not be eaten before
using it will be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Scbenck's
Pulmonic yrup unless tbe stomach and liver is
made healthy aud the appetite restored, hence
the Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every
case of consumption. A half dozen bottles of
the beawecd Tonic and three or four brxesof the
Mandrake Pil's will cure any ordinary case of
dyspepsia.
Dr Schenck makes professional visits in New
lork. Boston, and at his principal office in Phila
delphia every week. Seo daily papers of each
r laceor his pamphlet on consumption for bis
days of visitation
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor, one when in the last
stage of consumption, and the otheras he now is,
in perfect health, are on the Government stamp.
