There is a bill on its passage through the Legislature, the ioteution of which is to prohibit stock gambling. The brokers say the chief effect will be to centralize the business more in See York.

The Oil City Verrtck aays: When a man witliont cash oi credit attempt to leave a hotel, and lowers his valise out of a back window by means of a rope, it makes charity i cm cold to bear the voice of tte land lord below, yelling np: "All right I've got the valise j let go the rope." It was a refreshing variation from the general run of speeches at temperance meetings when a man got np in Pittsburg the other day and remarked : Ladies and gentlemen, to bring my nose to this state of blooming perfection has cost me, at the least rak-nUtion, $10,000." The tire that broke out in the Juniata Valiey liubse is Millerstown, Perry county, ca usdav tveuiug, the 26th alt, waa not entirely outened, as was believed. About 2 o'clock on the following Tuesday morn ing tbe fire broke out anew, and entirely consumed the building. Tue. e is a bill on its passage through tbe Legislature that provides for the abandon ment of certain canal in this Common wealth. W lib in the put lew day petitions bave been circulated for signers, asking the Legislature not to include tbe Juniata canal iu the abandonment. The Presbyterian congregation, that as sembled in the capacity of a sociable" at the parsonage of the Pastor, Rev. T. J. Sherrard, on Tuesday evening week, was a Urge one, and crowded the room to a degree seldom reached by sociables. The general criticism that ia heard alter nearly all such assemblages, that there was too much extravagance in preparation and ex penditure, in edible and general maxe-up, was not applicable to this sociable. The whole of it from beginning to end waa in perfect keeping with the plainness and solid ity that character-lie Presbyterian con gregations everywhere. I t Wednesday morning hot ashes were taken out of a stove ia the house of Mr. Jonathan McCoy, who reside at the first lock north of town. The asbe were put into a coal bucket ; the bucket was put un der a bench close np against the weather boarding on the back porch. About dark on Wedreaday smoke Was stnelled in tbe house. The family were quite uneasy. They had a vague understanding that a fir smouldered somewhere in the building, but search that lasted till after mkiuight I ailed to find it. About I o'clock all lay down to a'.etp. About 2 o'clock the tire broke out in a alaepiog room ccapied by a portion of the family. The alarm was given. .Neigh bors rushed to the rescue with bucket and water, and. most remarkable to relate, the bouso was saved from destruction. The End of Boosters Tilden and Hendricks in Tusoarora Valley. ince the November election Rev. Mr. Dlewein, a Methodist clergyman serving the Port Royal Circuit, presented Mr. Daniel Conn, one of his parishioners, with a pair of splendid roosters, with the understand ing that the one was to be permanent! named Tilden and the other Hendricks. The birds or fowls enjoyed themselves high ly in their Dew home, but a time of sad ca lamity came. Hendi kks was the first to yield to the deciee of fate ; it came in this way t The rooster of the name just men tioned, but a short time since flew onto the Chime of an open barrel that stood on end. The place seemed to exalt the bird, and he waiked around on the brim proudly, but by an unguarded step he lost his balance and fell down into the barrel and broke bis neck. The fatal accident did not seem to ad eel TiMea. Ilia strut was aa fuil of pride as it his companion still divided the attention and admiration of all the benery. Last week, however, swift-footed late came along and claimed him too as one of her victims, lie had become predatory in his inclina tions. InJeed he bad become predatory in Lis habits, and when the whim seised him ' ' would bie awav to hia master's corn-crib , and steal corn from i, through the crevices. ' . week, he got bis head into a crack, turned his head too far to one side, aud, in the effort to extricate bis endangeied head, banged himself b. the neck till he was dead. So short and inglorious was the end of rooster Tildau and Hendricks, in Tuscarora Vallev. it is reported that the election of o (Be era ir mc 3ciinzTove una iorin orancn nan - 6 ... L , . . . .'. ..... should see lo It that there is no combiot- I 1 tion to Unite offices in one man Not long ! since the directors of the road talced of for Tuscarora Valley nude the groit mistake of uniting the offices of Treasurer and Secre tary iu one membi of the company. A combinat ion of two sucb offices in one mem ber of the company is quite objectionable. The people who hold an election at Rich field on the 13th inst., should not fall into the same radical errer. Confidence is need ed, Hit a combination ol oiSees such as have the power to handle the lund and to make out such statement as suit their purposes, destroys confidence. Eli Perkins, tbe great American humor ist, will lecture in Gray bill's Hall, on the evening of the lth of this month. If Eli comes up to half his uttial manner of enter tainment, on tbe at ires-iid evening, a rich, hiiuiornn aud intellectual treat will be ren dered to the iubabitanta of this ancient vil age. Snbject Just what it is to be, Mr. Per kins has not said, but he foreshadows, and lit the foreshadowing is not withdrawn and some other good subject substituted, it will be on the antiquity of things &euerally and tbe pedigree of Mitfliiitown inititutions and people pirticularly. He professes to h ive an enlarged knowledge of the institutions, and people of the place, and a definite ac quaintance with the physical formation of the Juniata region. In his letter to the Lecture Commit ee he lulls a few things, uf which tbe following is a specimen : I remember Mifllintown a hen on a visit to th.it county, in the year 3IK). J. W. Rpeddy, of Tat lmUptudeul, wa then a fair baired boy, innocent, and blithesome, and emigrated from Germany, where he left a beautilul lle aud 130 small children. Fifty year afterwards came Messrs.

San a man, the other day, now is it that a law has been passed to prevent men from fishing with nets and baskets, and a law passed to expend thousands of dollars to pot fish in streams in this State, when corporations are allowed to discharge poi sonous ingredients into the waters that kill tbe fish r Why spend money to stock streams with fish if the business of the country may kill the fish by emptying poisonous ingre dients into the streams f "v"hy prevent individual from catching fish, just a they please, fcr table purposes, and allow business men to kill them in the pursuit of money-making I" "Hayes and Tilden had a fight, They fit all day and lit all night; And in tbe morning Hayes was seen Soiling Sammy round tbe green."

He returned, expressing bis disap pointment in not receiving tbe expect ed goods. He then left, staling tbat be would go to tbe telegraph office to dispatch lor bis whips, ftot return ing in a reasonable time, Mr. Heikel's curiosity became aroused, when he ex amined the neatly pat up boxes, and found them well filled with damp saw dust and blocks of wood, fieah from" the saw mill j J Ji. JUillertburg Her ald. Turning the Tables. A Cliicago papor says : The presi dent of one of the banks of this city recently was struck by a brilliant idea. To impress the clerks with a due Bense of his watchfulness and their responsibility, he would have them u shadowed " by a detective. lie did so, and every day or so would rail one of the young men into his private room and address him with severity, something after this fashion : " Young man, you left the bank at nineteen and a half minutes past four yesterday afternoon. Tou made a Vjee-line for Dearborn street, declin in-r on the way to purchase matches and Bnspenders, and telling? a vener able man who poked an advertising dodger into yonr diaphragni to go to a place where tlnre is no ice on the sidewalks and the probabilities al ways indicate an are of high tem perature. Tou also winked at a stray widow with false teeth. Arrived at Dearborn street, you entered the hoUe of a publican and sinner named Mackin, had a hot Scotch whisky with not too much sugar in it invited the j - ' . . - . ... :u LuviLauuu Hiuru wz&a uruuY uut respectfully declined and had a red hot oyster on a fork. Thence pro reeding to a billiard room, tbe name of which is known to the directors, you played four games of billiards, losing three and being stuck for as many rounds of drinks. In addition to this yon had three other nips and a cigar a Concha. Lighting this you proceeded to a restaurant, the jnuneof which is advertised in the , f , . ! Chicago Jribune, where yon dined heartily and inexrenvelv on tomato sonp, raw oysters, broiled cnicken, apple-pie, fried potatoes, celery and a numlier of other articles, the check, including a bottle of B ma' ale, be.ng $2.65. In payment you gave the cashier a $5 greenbiick, A 1.63'.l,456 if you deem it necessary I ran de scribe the change you received. Thence proceeding to the billiard room, you played billiards till forty seven minutes after nine, when you went to a gambling den that I might, but need not, particularize, where you bulked the tiger $9.50 worth. Yon got a fin il drink at a quarter past twelve a. St., and went home in car Xo. 213, West Madison street lina I d not recite this to censure yon or find fault with you in any way, but merely to show yon that the ollioials of this institution keep a close watch upon all their employees. H.mesty is the best policy. That is all." The clerk would retire terrified and not embezzle another dollar for over a week. The other day, however, they got a new clerk at this bank, a quiet and innocent looking young fellow. His comrades told him about the trials he would have to undergo, whereat he smiled a pensive smile and said that would be all right. Yesterday afternoon the president sent after him, and, with a respectful wink at the messenger, he entered the president's room. When the old man haJ got throng1!, he replied, calmly : " In the main your information is accurate, though it was bitters, not lemon, that I desired the barkeeper not to put too much of it in my third gin cocktail, and my biggest run at billiards was sixteen, not seventeen. Yesterday afternoon, at 3:28:37 you left the bank and proceeded direct to So-and-so's gambling hell, where you were braced out of $1,70') mighty quick. You said when the ace came np loser for the ninth time that it beat the devil, and the dealer, who had slipped out two cards remarkel that he had never seen anything like it At the southeast cjrner of Clark and Washington streets you received a package of bills I can tell the amount if you like from the con tractor for the building the bank is putting up. "This is yonr whack up of the divy," were his exact words. Then you went home and had dinner. The oyster soup was slightly burned, as y.n very justly, but somewhat grumblingly observed, and after in venting a lie to your wife about hav ing to attend a special meeting of the Clearing-house Association, you went to that little widow's" " Young man," said the president in an awful voice, "you have been guilty of an act of gross insubordi nation, not to speak of the lack of honorable feeling manifested in thus playing the spy. Another time I shall not overlook the offense, but out of regard for your widowed mother and your previous irreproachable conduct, I shall forgive you now. What is your salary t" "Mne hundrei dollars, sir. " Tell the cashier to m ike it $1,500 in future, dating from Jan. 1, 1377. This is a token of appreciation of your devotion to our interests and high integrity. This hundred dollar bill is a slight personal testimonial of re gard. If at any time you are a little short of funds don't hesitate about borrowing from me. I take a deep and affectionate interest in the wel fare of my young men." rThe clerk bowed his acknowledg ments and was about to take his leave, when the president called him back and said : " There is, of course, nothing in it positively nothing ; still, you need not mention that little romance about the widow to any one. A joke's a joke." The clerk winked at him respect fully and withdrew. An oriental traveler describes' this bosy scene, witnessed on historie shores: " Our steamer landed on a beach whicb was tbe port of Antiocb, where tbe dis ciples were fint called Christians. Tbere wis no town at tbe water's edge, no people, no wharf. Tb passengers and the merchandise were put ashore in lighters, wbicb ran up into tbe sand. A troop of camels, wita their drivers, lay ou tbe beach, ready to transfer tbe poods into tbe interior. Among tbe articles landed wert boxes marked Dr J. C. Ater & Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S. A., showing tbat they contained medicines aud whence they eame. These witb other goods were boised on tbe backs of camels, for transportation to Aotiocb. Thus tbe skill of the West sends back iu remedies to heal tbe mal adies of populations tbat inhabit those eastera shores, whence our spiritual manna cauie." Windsor (r7.) Chrm tele. Robbert OF a Gate Hocse Tbe toll gate bouse at Funkstowa, on tha Boousboro' and Uagerstown pike, was entered and robbed on WeSnesday night of $100.33, $40 of it being in silver com. Tbree men came to tbe door, between 12 and 1 o'clock and demanded admit aoce. Mr. Samuel Myers, tbs te keeper, at first rvfuaed, but tbey told bim tbat tbey wanted water for a man tbat bad fallen off bis horse iu the road. The door was then opened and tl.rea masked men, armed with club and a cord, entered. Mr. liters, immediate ly peroeiving tbeir intentions, M pitched into" thetn witb tbe utmost vigor, and knocked one of them up against tbe door. But of course he was soon over powered, and thrown dowu, having first received two pretty severe blows over tbe bead with the pieces of fence stakes carried by tbe men. After Myers was dowu, one of the burglar was detailed tu bo'd bim while the others searched for tbe money. Although Mr. Myers ia an old wan, between 60 and 70 years of age, it ww soon fouud that it aould take two burglar to bold him dowu. As the second one came to tbe rescue of the first, Myers grabbed at bis face and tore bis mask off, but could not recognise him. In the meantime the noise of the souffle bad aroused -lycrs' grand dangh ter, who was sloeping up-ta;rs. and she called out of tbe window to Mr. F. Shilling, who, witb two other men, came to tbe rescue as soou a possible. V ben tbty got to the front door the burglars were still in the house but escaped out of a bask window, breaking the sash to get out. Mr Myers came out of tbe conflict without any serious iujury further tbau being pretty well choked and witb a couple of blows over bis bis bead. Tbe Futikstown pecpla are loud in their praises of bis valiant conduct. He has the clubs and two masks ; one of tbe latter was found in a field near tbe bouse, tbe next morning. Hagerdown Mail.

The Puttstowu Letlger says tbatiu tbat bor ough a man weut to bed eariy, aud hi wile visited a neighbor, but forgot her latch-key and was uuahle to cuter tbe bouse or to awaken ber husbaud. Tbe couple whom she Lad viit;d came to ber ao.-ist nice, and the man rattled at tbe second story window with a clothes prop. Tbe sleeping husband bounced out uf bed, seitvd bis gun, slammed open the blind and fired tbe gun out of the wiudow to acare off supposed bur glars. The women screamed and tbe matter was explained, but ayouug man who was conversing witb bis lady love on tbe next corner, a long distaoce away, suddenly fled at bis utmost speed, to tbe girl's amaiement. Next day it was fouud that tbe load of bhot had struck him iu the back, but without serious injury. Intemperance it Eating Meo and women generally are reaping a plentiful harvest of sloth and stupidity from dailv overfeeding. Some uue has said "brain work under feasting be comes a grievous task and bears the marks of a bungler." Horace Walpols wrote ; ! bave such lamentable proofs every day before my e)es of the tupefving qualities of beef, ale, aud wine that 1 bave contracted a mot religious veneration for your spiritual nature. Aud only imagine tbat I every day see men who are mountains of roast beef, and only seem just rough!) hewn out into outlines of human form, like the great rock of Protolino I shudder wben 1 see tbem branub their knives in act to carve, and look upon them as savages that devour one anoth er. I'll wer I see no difference be tween a country gentleman aod a sir loin." Greater issues than church nr state hang upon the siicpte acts of eat ing and drinking, tbe first being a more frequent csueof intemperance than the second. In a sensitive organization these cross and exciting causes destroy the highest spiritual thought and as piration, often leading to a craving for ipnobl things utterlv foreign to the pure and simple nature. Th's danger is also increased by its subtlety, and aim bv the countenance given it bv ed ncated and cultivated people. If such aband m themselves to induleenee, and neither by precept nor exararde show forth the beauties of right livng and self-control, what can be hoped for from those of inferior knowledge and understanding, uncontrollable habits and appetite, and undisciplined lives ?
