A citv exchange writes as follows i La
dles, you should learn to swim. to gen
tlemen and five ladies wtre recently thrown
Into the Passaic river by the capsizing of
two boats in which they were enjoynnr a
bail one evening after dark. Two other
things called men were in the boats with two
of the ladies, but bi the accident occur
red they cravenly abandoned the ladies to
their fate and swam ashore. Imagine the
position of the two gentlemen who remain
ed. Both were brave and skillful sw iuimcrs,
but they tad five ladies to save, if possible.
But, fortunately for the whole party, one of
these ladies was an expert swimmer, and
gh was brave, strong and self-possessed.
By her instructions the paity joined hands
and kept themselves afloat by treading the
Water. After a little while one of the ladies
gave out, and the brave girl who could
swim MUs Gocdsill is her name took her
and swam to shore with her, and then re
turned and helped the men to get the other
three ladies ashore. AU honor to brave
Miss Goodsill and the two gentlemen who
bo nobly exerted themselves in the salva
tion of the ladies in their charge. The
two bipeds who swam away are not worth
wasting breath over. If they are men, they
are already severely punished. If not, abuse
will not shame them. But to return to our
text. Ladies, you ehould learn to swim.
Embrace the first opportunity which pre
sents itself to acquire this very useful ac
complishment, and our word for it, you will
never regret it.

Tnis from the Altoona Tribune of last
Thursday: Some ten months ago a lady
diet in Philadelphia, leaving her nephew,
who resides in Blair county, $6,(X0 in solid
cash. So much money completely turned
the young man's bead, and he set to work
vigorously to carry out the maxim "easy
come, easy goes." A fancy two-horse rig
iu one of his investments, and included in
his expenditures; the amount thrown away
dailv averaged about twenty dollars.. The
money finally disappeared, then one of the
horses had to be given up to lurnisu
to keep up his career of dissipation- The
other day a Xewry landlord captured the
other horse for aboard biU. Yesterday the
" last young man was seen walking arm in arm
with a boon companion, each clad In the
half of a linen duster, which belonged to
the once fortunate but now unfortunate
heir, and had been rent in twain op tie mid
rii. r , i,.ek. ms fortana is U gone.
and when he recovers his reason he will
realize the troth of that other adage a fool
and his money are soon parted.

Read the thrilling Incident in the life of
Garfield on the occasion of the assassina

The following is reproduced from an x-
cbange paper : A gentleman or Lycoming

atfectiou for two years says he has expe
rienced wonderful relief from the ue of a
tea made from the plant known as the "tag
alder." Its etTecls are aJulj;t instantane
ous and appear permanent.
Garfield is a self-made man; Hancock
was made by the Government, tiarfield ed
ucated himself in the arts of peace; the
public educated Hancock in the art of war.
The one is a mere fighter; the other is a
tighter when there is war, but is a civilian
when there is peace Chicaeo Trila -.u.

People who read have a distinct recollec
tion of how the Democracy, from the little
to the big, continual'y found fault with Gen
eral Grant because he would not speak and
write. Now leading Democrats are beg
ging General Hancock to shut his mouth,
and throw his pen away." The advice is
not given in elegant language, but it is the
language of Democrats, and is not of Re
publican coinage.
Sheriff Kelly was journeying through
Knrts valley several days ago. Rain was
falling. A little boy with an umbrella came
out of a lane on th'j south side of the road
so suddenly that tie horse shied, turned

the Sheriff fell out, but he was not hurt,
and the lyrse did not get away. Tho acci

Col. John W. Forney has come out in
favor of Hancock for President. There
doubtless will be others who may do so,
but what of that f When the Union cause
was battling against rebellion, men were
killed by the thousand, and hundreds de
serted, in every campaign, but still the
cause went on. So in every civil campaign
through which free government has been
preserved, men here and there have passed
away and deserted, the cause, and still free
government exist.
The Democracy incline to pick at the Re
publicans because Bob Ingersoll is a Repub
lican. Tbe great infidel, Tom Paine, was
one of the heartiest of advocates and
writers in favor of the Revolution of 1776,
and his pen did great service for the cause
of Independence. Why do the Democracy
not condemn the work of the fathers of the
Revolution becsus Paine was for Indepen
dence f Yes, why f The Democracy are
cross at Bob, because he calls the Demo
cratic ticket the "indigo and butternut com
bination."

A terrible accident befell Mr. and Mrs.
Philip Sebum, of Lancaster, on Friday,
bv being run over at a railroad crossing
Great caution should be exercised by peo
ple at railroad crossings. They owe it to
themselves ; they owe it to their families ;
they owe it to the people who ride on the
cars. It is said that in this case tho engi
neer failed to whistle. If it was his duty
to whistle at the crossing aud he failed to
discharge his duty, he should be discharged ;
but that will not restore the lives of those
who were killed by the rushing train. The
safe rule is to stop aud look and listen at a
cresting where no watchman is stationed.
A correspondent, calling herself a "Seek
er After Truth," asks the editor of the Sen
tinel and Repablbam, " What is the differ
ence, in a moral sense, between a play at a
Sabbath-school picnic, In which promiscu
ous kissing is indulg-jd in, and a cotillion
dance V To "Seeker After Truth" the ed
itor of the Sentinel and Republican states
that be respectfully declines to go into a
discussion of the question at this time.
Tbe question of kissing aud dancing, to be
sure, will be interesting enough, and we
will be pleased to hear what "Seeker Af
ter Trmtt" bas to say on the subject. Send
a communication on the (Juestion. Perhaps
that may induce a reply from some one,
and in that way thu question can be dis
cussed. This dispatch explains itself: Laxcasteb,
Pa., July 10 Tbe Niagara express west
ycsteiday morning strnck a carriage, near
Salunga, in which were a lay and gentle
man, alio were hot li so badly injured that
they died shortly af terward. It was at first
supposed, and so telegraphed here, that the
parties were the Rev. William Specht and
wife, of Manheim, Lancaster county; but a
dispatch received from Manheim stated that
Mr. Specht and wife were at home and well.
Tb bodies were then discovered to be those
of Mr. Philip Sebum and wife, of this city.
Mr. Sebum was a leading merchant of Lan
caster and had only been married to the lady
killed about four months. He was sixty-
five years of age and leaves a family of six
daughters and two sons by a former wife.
A queer wreck of three freight trains took
place near Petersburg, below Altoona, some
days ago. A freight train came into Peters
burg westward bound. It was but a shert
time ahsad of" a passenger tiain time
enough, however, if everything would go
right, to make the next station west. Un
der the rules of the r5aJ the freight train
should have waited for the passenger train
to pass. The conductor concluded to take
the ri.sk and went on. The grade of the
road was steep, and when about six miles
away the engine gave ovt. Tbe eondircfor
then concluded to back his train to the
station that he had just loft. He knew that
another freight train was due behind him,
bnt he concluded that it certsinly would
wait at the station that he had left, for the
passenger train. The second freight came
to the station and was informed that pas
senger had fallen behind1 on her time one
half hour, also concluded to pnsh on, and
bad pulled out as fast as possible, when all
of a sudden he was confronted with the
train that was on its retreat to tbe station.
The collision that took place can be better
imagined than described. The engineer
and fireman leaped off the engine and were
not much hurt. Both tracks were covered
by the material of the wrecked trains. A
thunder-storm prevailed at the time, and in
tbe midst of tbe roar of thnnder, and the
confusion attendent upon the wrecking of
the two trains, a third freight train from
the west, loaded with cattle, came and ran
into the obstruct-on on the road, causing
the most serious wreck of all, as both the
engineer and fireman were killed. They
bad jumped from the engine. Their necks
were broken. It is conjectured that they
lit in such a way on their feet tht a sudden
jerk or the head snapped the spinal column.
A number of cattle were killed.

A coRKEspoxDEST of the jSmetican Paul
In Journal gives the following directions
for keeping sitting hey free from parasitic
vermin : When about to set a hen, take a
nail keg end sock it until water-tight ; saw
it in halves, and put in two inches of water ;
into the water put one-half ounce of oil of
sassafras, and one-half ounce of solution
carbolic acid. Close to tbe surface of tbe
water tit a thin piece of perforated board ;
put over this a piece of flannel, and then
put in fresh earth enongh to shape a nest
and line with cut straw. Now put a few
drops of oil of sassafras about the nest, put
in yonr eggs and hen, and over all pnt a
barrel with an arched opening on one side.
By this method eggs may be safely hatched
in January or February, even in a very dry,
warm room the water beneath furnishing
all the necessary moisture. I raised 250
game chicks last year without seros a sin
gle parasite.

THORNS AND KOSKS.
From morn till night John's bammer rang,
Tbe tale of labor telling ;
BUt oft he marked, with envious eye,
'Squire Hardy's cosy dwelling.
One day the 'SquirS himself came by:
'My horse has lost a shoe, John,
And that's tbe least of all my cares,
But cares don't come to you, John.
The bgbtniug struck my barns last night ;
My child near death is laid, John ;
No '. life is not what folks suppose,
Tis not of roses made, Jobn."
And then the 'Stiire rode sadly off.
John watched him in amazement ;
And, as he watched, two faces bright
Pepped from the open Casement.
He heard his wife's voice, sweet and low,
His baby's merry laughter;
John gave his anvil such a blow
It shook each smoky ratter.
I would not change with 'Squire," said he,
"For all his laud and money ;
There's thorns for him as well as me,
But not such ruses bonny !"
F. E. Weatherly in X. Y. Tribune.
" Tuebe is a lot or stuff Said and sung at
Sunday-schools without doing the children
there a particle or good. A lady or Mount
Auburn, Ohio, heard a large number chil
dren singing in the street in front of her
house. The refrain was : Hand around
tbe wash rag, hand around tbe washrag."
She called several of them to her, and ak
ed wlc-re they learned it. At 8 "Play
school, they said. They sang it nearly
every Sunday, and ssld it was "An awfully
nice song." She aked thein to sing more
or it: They did, and she, from her knowl
edge of Sunday-school hymas, recognized
it as one of the sentimental namby-pamby
choruses which children are taught without
knowing what they mean, the real version
being Bally ronnd the watchword." The
Cincinnati Gaxelte says thereof: -And now,
o;uerTy : Isn't there more sense in tbe chil
dren's version than in the original f There
is, deacon, there is, by a large majority."
THAT SUMMER.
" Only a tress of hair,
Here it curled over my temple lightly ;
Does she yet think it fair,
Or does it look to her eyes unsightly ?
Surely she loved it then ;
Else why did she seek it w ith so much
passion t
Was I so fair among men f
Or were my brown locks just in fashion f
Well I remember the day ;
0er her shoulder I stooped and kissed
her,
Much in tbe tender way
That I would kiss my (neighbor's) sister.
Up raised her soft brown eyes ;
Crimsoned her forehead smooth and fair,
Trembling with sweet surprise
Asked she or me this lock or hair.
Ah, I can feel them how,
Dainty white fingers that twined and clung,
I can remember how
Tight to my scalp that crisp tress biPf:
Tears in my foolish eyes 1
Ah, do not laugh ; in sober truth,
When that hair 'gan to rise,
I felt as though she had pulled a tooth.
L'csvei.
And long before her sinewy bands so fair
Could reach another lock to pluck it thence,
In three lung strides I bad gone down the
stair,
Clashed through the garden and o'er
topped the fence."

LOVE SONG- '
Last spring yen owned th it yon loved me,
When the blue-eyed C-i as in flower;
Now the flaJt-fieids lie bare and you hate me.
Can love; then, grow bold in an honr,
1'aucha, Paiichita 7
Ah, no) chV'iuita,
Love V.rzi, Iholgti the flowers lie dead.
I sanf at your lattice last summer,
When the stars shone less bright than
your eyes.
And you threw ms red roses and kisses ;
Now you give not a glance for my sighs.
Pancha, Panchita,
Ah, my chiapiita.
Must I lose love aad yvu in a breath I
Ah, no! turn your starry ryes toward in.-,
And your cheek where the red rot blooms
sweet.
One kiss you ar mine again, darling ;
Ouce more, iei I lie at Jour feut ;
I'aln lia, I'ancbita,
Ah, jes, thiqulti,
Love lives though the roses lie dead. .

PlcSfC. On Friday morning, July
9th, a party consisting cf fourteen cou
ple cf jouu ; people, met at tbe resi
dence of Mr. Joseph Watt on Third
street, to make l be necessary arrange
ments for a sail four miles up tbe
"rsging canawl." We marched to tbe
place where our boat was waiting for us.
After all were comfortably seated, at
9.30 tbe Captain gave oraers fer the
11. & M. to boist ber sails, which was
done amid tufldy bur.riha from the large
crowd which ba gathered on the canal
bridge to see tbe boat start on the "per
ilous voyage" to Macedonia, there tn
spend the dsy in genera! sport. We
arrived at oQr destination at 11:30 A.
M., tbe trip having been a very plea
sant one, except a littlt nervousness
felt in going throagh tbe locks, and a
feeliug of weannesi caused by sittiug
so long in the boat. The lemonade
committee served faithfully, for they
had some of tbe best lemonade that
was ever aide in the shade, and we ap
preciated the cool and delicious driuk,
as the beat was inteuso about noon.
A5 12:30 P. M. we were summoned to
partake of a bountiful repaet, which
bad been prepared by tbe la lie:?, aiid I
for oue must guy tbe ladies know bow
to prepare a picnic dinner, for the
grouud " fairly groaned " under the
weight of tbe gotH things. After tbe
diuuer was over and all felt refreshed,
same of us called cfi a party of Lewts
towu foiks that were camping a abort
distance from ua, and bad a pleasant
time together, while others of the party
went fishing, but caught tcthicg, a? the
fish were lazy and not inclined to ac
cept a bait from our party.
At G P. M. we partook cl a hearty
supper. The evoning was the most
pleasant time. When the scri Wis sink
ing behiud tbe bills and Us rays fell no
more on our pleasant party, then it was
that we enjoyed ourselves the best; but
to ot?r great disappointment tbe order
came that all were to prepare to retura
home; as we bad neglected ta bring a
nighthawk along, and it would be some
what dangerous to go throuzh th6 locks
without a light ; so at 8 P. M. we re
luctantly touS our departure from tbe
place where the scenery was ho mag
nificent, and Trh;e tbe dsy bad been
spent so pleasantly. We arrived at
Miffliu at 10 o'clock, singing, "Pull far
tbe shore." On landin? we adjourned
to our several homes pleased with the
day's enjoyment. Let this not be the
la.it one for the season.
