The Presbyterian graveyard is a study.
In it may be seen numerous tombstones

might find work there to enjoy his eccen
tricity. The loon is Hamilton's boat has become

Several Southern papers have hoisted the

there between his school of politics and re

name early, if he is elected, one of them
might get iuto his cabinet, and once there
he could rrovide a snug place for each
member of the clique. Wouldn't that be
nice I"
Lewistown must be a great place for kiss
ing. Almost every week the local papers
chronicle the kissing of peoiJe in that
town. Perhaps the editors are so unfortu
nate as to have bo one to kiss. Are they
envious of the pleasures of other people 1
ye" a h,n nnt miration their motive, but
we would like to know why people cant
kiss, who have a right to, without bxing
talked about. Here is the Democrat's last
local on the subject : .
The comedv of a "Kiss in the Dark" in
deed we mar'say, two or three kisses in

Miftlistows, May 9, 1874.
, Editor Sentinel and Republican :
When jou moved to the country the
Register was kind enough to advertise
for a town corresjKtdent for your pa
per. I do not promise to act regularly
in tbat capsciry, but if this letter is
published 1 may write you others. I
write you this on the last evening of
the week, as you doubtless have ob
served by its date. Town people, fol
lowing pursuits different from those
pursued by people in the eouutry, dress
and "fix up more or less every day
and evening, but Saturday evening
with them, too, is the evening par ex
cellence for a geueral turnout in fine
"bib and tucker." While the country
beau is traversing miles of road, or
"cutting across" fields and ridge to
get to the home of bis ewect-heart, to
enjoy her company and revel in her
smiles, the town beau, in his best
clothes, is disporting in the presence of
bis love on some doorstoop, in some snug
parlor, or perhaps is perambulating iu
slow and measured steps on the pave
ment in the lamplight, through by
streets, in the shade around the Court
House Squire, or, perchance, away be
yond the suburbs into the country. It
is nothing but the ''same old story"
both in country aud town," varied only
by circumstances.
Country people sometimes think that
town people are stuck up. If they'd
come to town and we'd go to the coun
try, would they turn up their noses,
and would we say you are stuck up f
There is a good deal, you know, in
the saying, "Put yourself in bis place."
The truth is, however, apparent tbat we
have people who put up their noses at
country people. You can just put
such people down as an ignorant set,
who ars not worthy of con-ideratiou.
U heu they put on their airs, they d j it so
igoorautly that intelligent and read peo
ple are highly amused at them instead of
being offended. For example, the other
day we heard the remark, " lie is only
a low Scotchman." The speaker
j thought the Word low, as applied to the
, Scotchman, was a word full of disgrace,
'uen j Uet u use(j to indicate that
I . c , , . , , . .,
- ttip entcliman hnlnncrpd tn thM 4iljv
, . . ,. .
or loa iand Scotch, and not to the high
land Scotch, or that portion of the
Sootc'i people who live up among the
hills and high places of Scotland. We
have often heard the words low Dutch
man tgnorantly misapplied. Yon can
readily see how funny it seems to those
who know better when yon. tear it used
by one who withes to heap an ugly
word on some "person he don't like by
calling him a low Dutchman. A low
Dutchman means a Hollander; that is
all. Holland is a low country indeed
below the level of the sea, like some of
the country along the Mississippi river,
and batiks are thrown np and kept in
the most thorough repair to keep the
sea from flooding it- The Hollanders
or Low Dutch are as careful about keep
ing that bank or levee in repair as thry
are about taking their meals.
This has been the first real summer
day that we bare had this season, and
you may guess how we are at work at
the new buildings. Dob Parker is hur
rying up his house on Main street, op
posite Court House Square. John
Muthersbaugh, Esq , it is said, will oc
cupy one of its cspacioos rooms as a
hardware store. Muthersbaugh is an
energetic vouug citiiec, and it is na
tural for him to be a little restive un
der the slow progress that the building
made on account of the past bad wea
ther. George Jacobs, one of our oldest
and richest citizens, may daily be seen
turning attention to the work that is
going on for the erection of a large
hotel on the corner of Main and Bridge
streets. The building goes Hp by con
tract, still Mr. Jacobs cannot lose in
terest in the work. Just now the In
dependent is hounding him with all the
indirect fury it knows how to use. It
does now use his name, but it strikes at
him across the bridge. It advocates
that the bridgo be made a free bridge.
It knows, as do most other people here,
tbat Mr. Jacobs owus a large portion
of the bridge stock. It imagines tbat
if it could get the bridge stock ont cf
Mr. Jacobs' hands be would be extin
guished. Tbat attack is mure ridicu
lous than was the attack it made on the
Sentinel local relative to the M. E.
church. I do not know whether the
bridge stock holders would sell, but I
suppose they would ; but whe would
buy ! The whole thing is so thin that
1 wonder that the management of that
paper advocate it. They must believe
everybody to be as naughty as they are,
or else tbey must believe people gen
erally are confounded dumb and blind
and cannot see. Do you kuow that the
men who run the Independent wanted to
run the bridge ! , "They can't phut our
eyes" here infown. W hen they could
not do it they quit the institution, and
now they want the public to buy it.
Tbey think it would be an awful lick at
Jacobs, when the fact b be would be
the gainer, for he would get his money
out of an institution that is always,
even under the most favorable circum
stances, risky stock. The only people
who would get a lick would be those
who would buy it. If the boroughs
should become the purchaser it would
be an endless expense to them ; and
then tbink of the boroughs investing
$30,000 or $40,000 in an old bridge
tbat is liable to be swept away by flood.
Is it the county that' they want to buy
it! , The people of the county would
not take it as a gift, and keep it in re
pair, and put up a new one when this
one rota down. Forty thousand dollars
of ne county's aooney in an old bridge !
Are they not a nice set to talk about
economy ! - Your friends of the Inde
pendent must be going clean wild. If
they would just, while they are advo
cating the purchase of $40,000 bridges,
attack some one for extravagance in re
pairing some creek bridge, what a mas
terly effort it would be in favor of
economy, how nicely it would illustrate
the adage of " penny wise and pound
foolish." But what'a $40,000 to
money shavers when the people pay it.
The foundation walls of the new
Court House are about finished. There
are between five hundred and a thou
sand perches of stone in the walls. It
was a wonder how rapidly the stones
disappeared once work was fully begun
At the northwest corner the lowest
stones are about ten feet below the scr
face of the ground ; soft ground re
quired that depth to secure a solid
foundation. The building is 105 feet
long, 65 feet wide, and will be 112 feet
high to the top of the spire.
Allison, formerly of the Reptilian,
was iu town to-day ; home to see a sick
daughter. lie looks as if Custom
House duties agreed with him. ii. F.
Walters, who used to merchandise here,
is home on a sojourn from the Bed
Cloud Indian Agency, where ho has
been in the tJorernment employ at
keeping store, ltations te 10,000 In
dians were dealt out from the Agency
at which he is, daily during the past
winter. He presented Post Master
Books with a smoke-pipe made by -a
nephew of the notorious chief Bed
Cloud. It is worth your while to see
it if you have not already doue so.
Books is not the most unobliging man
in the world ; when you coma to towu
ask him to show it to you. My word
for it he'll do it, and then want to sell
ycu a paper of good smoking tobacco
or a parcel of tip-top cigars.
We have not many loafers now.
Those who have money and could loaf
are working to keep what money tbey
have, others are working to nuke more,
and those who have no itioucy are work
ing to live respectably and cot be a
charge on the public. So you see we
are all employed, and you country peo
ple must not J"jde us too harshly, fxr
"as ye judge a man so shall ye be
judged."
The town is already quite dusty, and
tidy housekeepers and storekeepers are
kept in constant fret on windy days
by clouds of dust blowing into their
rooms and stores.
If my letter had not already grown
too long I would describe tho effect of
your last article on the Indepemlent
clique. It gave the whole fraternity a
dreadful colic. Every member cried
out loudly; through the Independent,
in which there is a local to represent
each member. Without beiug acquaint
ed wtth their disease thoroughly, 1 felt j
fur them, too. I thiuk if tbey would
send for Dr. Crawford he could tell
tbem what is the matter, t st 11 have
not given them up, as they are pray
ing men ; but when 1 go to church,
which they say you do not, I always
squeeze my eyes shut and feel charita
ble when they pray, for I cau't help
thinking about the whoppers they tell
almost every week about the Indepen
dent having the largest circulation in
the couury, and also iu the Juniata
valley. Their piety must be of that
kmd that permits of a yarn, with the
mental reservation that the sin of it
may be prayed away. Is your religion
of that kind, too ! But I must cease
writing at this time.
Respectfully yours
MAIN STP.EET.
Last Friday morning about 8 o'clock, a
man, on a boat coming down the canal by a
place not far above Roaring Run in the
Long Narrows, noticed something Hoatiug
in the water. It was near the shore. lie
got off the boat to examine it. It was the
body of a man drowned. He fastened one
end of a stick in the clothing on the body,
and the other be wedged with stones on the
shore, so that the dead man could not float
away. When the boat arrived here at Mif
tliu he made known to the proper authority
what he had seen and done. Justice Krei
der summoned the following citizens, Chas.
Zeigler, Amos G. Bon&all, Jas. W. Deen,
N. E. I.ittleficld, J. W. Kirk and William
Smeath, and proceeded to the designated
place and there found the body as it had
beca iett by the boatman, and held an in
quest over it, a'aich resulted in averaictol
"accidental drowning." The drowned man
was about 50 years old. His pocket-book
contained SO cents in money, and two pa
pers which looked like the paper used in
tehgtaph oflices. On one paper was writ
ten, "Jlilllintown, Juniata Co., Pa., Chris
tian Rose," and "Lewistown, Mifllin Co..
Pa., Christian Rose." On the back of the
paper was written the name " Marysville.''
A second paper contained this ; It is said
that Christian Rose died in Mifflin county."
It is believed that the body was in the water
some 10 days or two weeks. About that
"long time' ago a man answering to the
description of the deceased was in .town.
It is believed also that he was in search of
a man named Christian Rose. A rough
coffin was taken np and the body placed in
it and buried alongside of th turnpike.
Last Wednesday two sons of William
Lowery, who lives about half a mile north
of town, were at play with a number of pet
pigeons in the fireplace in the basement
kitchen of their father's hoUe. The chil
dren were aged 2 aud 5 years. Suddenly
Mrs. Lowery heard frantic screams from her
children. She ran out of the house and
was met by her two-year old boy running
enveloped in a flame of fire, his brother and
two little sisters following screaming. It
was a sight to thrill the stoutest nerves
with horror. Mrs. Lowry, mother-like,
caught up the little unfortunate son to her
arms, wrapped her dress around him, and
thereby extinguished the flames, at the risk
of her own life. The miracle is that her
own clothing did not take tire. She re
ceived no injury except the severe burning
of her hands. The child died en Tburday.
The family do not know how the clothing of
the child took fire, excepting wnat ine nve
vear old child savs about it. Be says that
his brother was set on fire by a bunch of
fire coming down the chimney; which was
nrobahlv a bunch' of burning soot, as there
was at that time a considerable tire ia a
ttove on the Moor above.

Locust Grove, Jcniata Co , Pa.
President Meeker was in town on Monday
and gave us some very encouraging inform
ation concerning the railroad. It is his ob
ject to have the grading pushed to a speedy
completion, and to know that he has al
ready ordered rails, for the laying of track
from Port Trcverton along the river road
where little or no grading is required, shows
very conclusively that work is to progress
in earnest. t'nebnrg Conner.
