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 business of the country will move on
aince the Presidential question has been
-etUed in favor of peace aud order, and
will in tk.i uext lour years may be expected
tu greatiy improve from the present depres
sion. 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

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

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.
Boksall it Jackwan, from Ireland, smug
gling over the Democrat aud Rtgitter olfice
in a Saratogt tinnk to avoid paying dut .
The JuuiaUtiver,if I remember rightly,
was named alter the Juuiala Stutiutl. It
was established about 200 years belore the
river existed Tbe channel of that historic
stream was dug ont by the earliest inhabi
tants tor express purposes. The t-tory that
Scbweier found Post Master Books in tbe
Post Oifice when he came to that town is
not true."
Tbe Lecture will be rich, rare and racy.

W. F. SNYDER,
Mifflintown, Pa.
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

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

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

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 ?
