sister, lo the stable to kindle a fin;. The
children climbed np to the liay-mow, and
thers the boy lit his candle, and then the

On a charge of uuliatvlly entering a
neighbor's house, a young bi.n named
Wright, residing in Patterson, wa put to
jail last Thursday evening. On the even
ing of the following day, about the time
luat egress to the jail yard from the jail is
closed it was fonnd that the young man bail
escaped by climbing over the ard wall. On
Saturdry moriiing search was made tor him
in Patterson, wi hout the desired result,
Sheriff Kuouse then off-red (en dollars to
whomsoever would return Wright to his 1
custody. Some time during the day !
pirties in Patterson learned that the ?onug
man had U-eu seen at a house in Millord
township, a couple uf miles Irom town.
Throe young men went out to get him.
About the tiu.e Hit y got fairly about (he
house, Wright cam? out of (he collar door -
and ran awav. Pursuit was given. He was
rallen on to stop, and told that ir he would
uul he would be shot. He ran on. Henry
(,ien, ou; of ;he pursuing party, drew a
revolver and discharged several shots, one
oi ahich took ifioct on the fugitive, in the
thick Me.-h below the hip joint in the left
Irg. The catastniphy ended in his re
lodgment in jail. The wound was probad
with the object of finding the ball, by Dr.
Craatord and Dr. Elder, but it was not
found. Henry Given was arrested for the
shooting, and entered bail for his appear
ance at court to auswer the chaigo.
List Thursday afternoon Joseph Christy
aid Darwin Hamilton wanted sawdust, and
drove to fish's saw mill ill Fermanagh
tuuunhip, and obtained the lull of the bed
of a one-horse spring agon. All w ent well
enough Until they reached a point on the
pike just aouth of Dai id Louder', house,
nor.h of town, where they turned out as far
as they could on their side of the road to
allow the two-horse Cuba mill wagon to pass.
A young lady, at that moment, was driving
the team, and lor soioj cause or other drove
near enough to the wagon of Der and Jov
to bring about a collision, In which the
young men's wagon became the sufferer.
Four spokes were knocked oi.t of one ot
the frout wheels, a hind wheel was serious
dished, the single-tree was snapped in two,
and the shalts were broken, aud to add to
the consternation, the horse walked away
frora the wagon. Our young friends, how
ever, were equal to the emergency, and
caught the excited beast before other serious
damage wa. done. Another wagon was
obtained and the sawdust was delivered
here they wished to use it.

As to the jail the Grand Jnry say :
The lock of the iron door needs repair
ing. Tbe lock of tbe outside door is
insufficient, and should be replaced with
a new one. Tbe lock of the room now
occupied by prisoners is detective. The
cells all need white washing.
As to the new building on the north
enst corner of the Court House lot,
which was erected about a year ago for
the use of the county offices while the
Court House wa. being built, and which
is now occupied as a dwelling house,
the Jury are unanimously of tbe opin
ion that, as tbe purpose of tbe erection
of said building bas been served and
the same is no longer needed, the said
building is a nuisance, and tbey earn
estly recommend that the t'oinmission
ers proceed to remove the same.
The Jury examined the beaters iu
tbe ourt House, and report that they
are entirely insufficient ; at any rate,
they do not furnish sufficient heat to
make the court room and jury rooms
comfortable.
Tbe Jury desire to express their en
tire satisfaction with the general ap
pearance and arrangement of the Court
House, and that tbey regard it as a
credit to tbe county of Juniata, and a
source of proper pride to our citizens
and tax-payers.

I , , a ,

repaired. to the places assigned them.
The pastor. Iter. II. C. Shindle. called
tl.e meeting to order and stated, that to
- , t , - . , ,
inspire confidence obe lound of blank
cartridges should be fired, or, in other
words, that the first round should not
rule a speller out in case tbe word
given was misspelled. That being done,
the teacher for tbe evening, Mr. S. M.
Shelley, informed all that Lusioesr
would new begin iu earnest. All went
" merry as a marriage bell," until Mr.
Rutherford tiled lo repose on a " mat
tress," (with but one "" :n tbe last
sellable) which came very near being!
burned by the "fagot" which Wallace
burled at it, with an "e" in place of an
o." The "ECHO" of the last word
bad not died away, when Bcidler fell
mortally wounded. .Mrs. K. evidently
had a thorn iu her patb in the shape of
a "briei" with an "a" in it. Car tain
Snyder symbolized the occasion with a
"symbol" with "ble" for the last syl
lable, aud good naturedly took a tack
seat. Miss V. put an "o" in the sec
ond syllable of "malady," and followed
those who had gone before. Kbberta
persisted in having four "s's" in "gas
eous." Lud wig's effort was on a "par
allel," with too much at the latter end.
Jacobs put a "pick" for a "pique," and
Miss U. gave him a "receipt," in full,
without a "p." Swartzel now coui
niecced to "whinny," but got an "e"
between the last "n" and "y," and dug
out for another seat. This left but
fire spellers on the floor, and each felt
sure of securing a prize. The content
waxed hotter and hotter, until Dealer,
Jr , proved conclusively that l.e did
not belong to any cf the species of
plants in which some people deal, and
spelled "vegetable" with an "a" in
second Syllable, and accepted tbe glass
ware. Miss R. said (he waj not Uied
to being sold, and put it "stationary"
instead of "ery" in the ending. The
result was a beautiful cbronio. Miss 3.
hashed her hen fruit aud made "ome

and took home another clirouio. Pat- j

to earn what he was to get, and worked

About ten o'clock last night a brake
man named William McCulIrugb was
almost instantly killed in the railroad
company's yard, opposite the passenger
depot, Altooua. There are several
theories as to the manner of the acci
dent, all of which differ considerably.
One person states that he was standing
with bis face to some cars stationary in
tbe yard, adjusting the coupling link,
when an engine backed a car against
bim,driving tbe coupliug link through his
body, about tbe small of his back. We
We do not give this as a correct theory
of tbe affair, at all, tor it seems almost
impossible to obtain the actual facts.
He lived about ten minutes after be
was removed from tbe tracks to tbe
dead bouse. Subsequently his remains
were removed to the residence of his
father, Mr. Francis McCuIIough. three
doors above Fifth avenue, on Eleventh
street. Tbe deceased was aged twenty-three
years aud about four months.
Mr. McCuliougb was by tiade a moul
der, but during tbe suspension last fall
be was a victim, and during tbe entire
winter remained idle, only obtaining
the position of br.keman three week,
ago. He is said to have been a very
worthy youug man. Altoont .Virror,

of Centre township. Tbe axe was
found in the possession of Kines at the
ime of his arrest, and also a saddle
which hid been stolen from Mr. George

On Saturday evening, 24th ult., a
fiendish attempt was made to throw the
mail train, which leaves this city at
7.40 p. m., off the track, a short dis
tance this side of Wilisore, Cambria
country. Some villains bad piled ties
and rails across tbe tracks and tbe
train would certainly bave been wrecked
bad it not been that the barricade was
discovered and the train flagged by a
gentleman who resides in that vicinity.
Plunder is supposed to have been the
object, but wholesale murder would
have been the re.'ult. The scoundrels
should be promptly arrested and pun
