The gentleman used to be lieve that the substantial qualities that the grand mothers exhibited had oeeo lost in the hurly burly or these extravegaut.shody, pretentious times, but since tbe trip through Delaware township, he has changed his mind and be is couvinced that there are still some girl, or the grand old qualities left The Lewistown Gazette or last week says : Friday night last during tha hard thunder storm the barn on the McClnre farm, tenant ed by Richard Young, was struck by light ning about twelve o'clock and burned down. John 11. Young, a nephew of Richard, was at a window in the bouse and aaw the light ning strike. He and Mr. Young aud son went ont and let out the only horse that was in the stable and saved two buggies in the wagon shed. That day they bad been hauling in wheat and there were two wagon loads standing on the barn floor. They ran one ot these out, but by that time the fire had gained such headway that they could not rescue tbe other. Mr. Young's loss is one wagon, thirty-two loads of hay, fire loads of wheat, a lot of old wheat, seventy bush els of com ears, all his pluwt, and meat, one calf, nearly all his gears, hog pen and chick en house, with all the chickens.

The Bloomfield Times or July 13, pub lishes the following : Wednesday afternoon about four o'clock, a crowd of boys were in the canal bathiug, above Uillerstown, and among tbe number was Willie, sonol Cbas. A. Rij piuan, aged about niue years. While tbe boys were disporting themselves in the water, two young men, Charles Myers and Spencer, came along with a revol ver, and commenced shooting over the boys' beads to scare them. Willie Rippmm, who had been lying on the tow-path, started to run into the water, whon a bullet struck him in tbe back, one inch to right side of the spinal column, right over tbe region or the right kidney. The little fellow fell to the ground, but thu other buys helped him to dress and took him to bis borne. Medical aid was summoned, aud au attempt nuulj to remove the ball by probing, but without avail. The boy suffers considerable pain in the region of the bowels, which is evidence th it the ball is in that Iocition. Willie stands his injury bravely, and did not wince uuder thu probe. His condition on Thurs day moruit:g indicated no cbangtf, but hopes are ei.teitained for his recovery. The boy has been busily engaged piling bark in bis father's tannery for some time, and Wed nesday was his Hrst day off. Calves and lleer. Calves and beor, became the cause of no little trouble between cow drover Hull, and excursionists Thomas, Pierce, Thompson, and EckbtTt, at Roaring Run, along the pike in tho Long Narrows, between this place and Lewistown, last Friday ev euing. The parties all live 1 1 L;i'-"n. The four last named yonng men, with other compan ions had formed a camp in the Narrows along the pike. Their camp was well stocked with substantial things to eat, and palatable drinks for Iibition, aid they were enjoyiug themselves up to the measure or their no tions of mountain excursion enjoyment. On the afternoon of the day mentioned cow dro ver Hull, intent on business, was slowly driv ing lour Cows beiorc him through tha Nar rows. Two of the cows had calves, bat the iittle animals gave out on the rough road and he lied their -gt an I plsced them in the wagon. About four o'clock iu llw slter noon Hull came opposite to the camp of the boys of his town and there made a bait, he says, to water his slock. The boys say he suielled a beer kegj but be denies the power that the boys ascrite to his smelling organ and says that iu the past fifteen years he baa not used anything stronger than blacklterry wine which he has been using latelv for dis order of the bowls. Let the cause bo what it may he stopped of bis own accord at the camp of tho yoiiii of men and was not there long b;lore some ditfirence arosa between them. He was charged with cruelty to sui uia's in having calves tied and laid in bis wag on snd agresshc-ies to Hull, or a feelingfor thii calves, or the inspiration or beer, caused an effort to hi made to release the little au i:uals. The snaps that bound them were cut or untied and be was kept quite bnsy belween tying the calves and listening to the remarks or the boys. He stepped ont or the wagon snd was soon engaged in a struggle with Thomas, ont of which both came with out damage excepting a rent in the neck of Hull's shirt. The drover came to this place and employed lawyer Plette, and an action was brought before Justice StcCrum against tbe young men for assault and battery. A warrant was placed in the hands of officer Lapp. It was long after dirk before ho ush.reJthe par:ies into the office of the justice. The youug men all declared that they committed no breach of the peace against Hull, rurther thau being preseut, which they could not help, for they were there whon Hull came, aud ror laughing when the drover and Thomas fell out. They were in a jolly humor and were disposed to thrust expressions of different kinds at Hull and bis lawyer. One wanted to know why they badu't madothecharge or arson, anoth er suggested burglary or something else. They kept up such an incessant inquiry and humorous Dlav upon words, sometimes ail together talking, and asking questions that Hull's lawyer lot fall a couple or words that they said was swearing and that brought Tbomaa to bis foet. lie brought a charge against the lawyer for swearing and enjoin ed it upon the Squire to fine him, and be, Thomas, tho informant, claimed half the floe for making tho information. Hj requested the Squire to ded act his share or tbe fine from his share of the costs. By this time the case h id become interesting to all pirtie concerned and humorous to th'J room lull of spectators. Thj drover was charged with cruelty to a-imals, for having tho calves tied and laid in his wagon and hauled over a rougu road. The Justice require! thorn to give bail for their apoearance at court to j answer the charges that they had preferred against each other. Mr. K nodes, cat'lo Coal er from I'hanixvillo, became bail for Hull. Thomas was a stranger iu a sUaugol laud, with only his chums around him, an4 while they were not cotplol in tbe cbargof with 1 him, thej lul'Tvere "tu- close relation ship for bail. He fell back an Hull, whose calves he had unloosened, and who be had choked, and whose beard he bad pulled, and whose shirt he bad torn, and who he had cross suited by a charge and prosecution, for cruelty to animals. Hull was sympatheti cally responsive to his late antagonist and bailed him. After they were ready to adjourn to meet later before court, to there to settle the case, some one proposed to settle the trouble, which they did by each party paying halt the cost. It was after 11 o' clock on Friday night before they got away from the Squire's office, and it was away in the small hours of Saturday morning be fore John Bergy landed the boys at their camp in tbe Narrows.

Amu, Publisher, 3'.3 Pearl street. New York. A Thieving Irishman. mm Officer Lapp received a despatch on Mon day from John Downing, of Millerstown, wno Has been employed in William Spang ler'a carriage shop, to arrest an Irishman, who had on Sunday night stolen from S pangler's shop a pair of tailor's shears, sev eral punches and a clarinet, tbe prooertv or Downing. Lapp looked about tbe town and espied an Irishman about 4U years of age, in Espenscbadu's store, where he had just purchased a check shirt for tilty cents. auc otneer Ueternjiued iu his mind that he was the man, and forthwith, without a war rant, took him beloro Justice McOrnni, who sent him to jail to await a warrant. It was not long till Mr. Spanglar, of Millerstown, and Mr. Downing, ot the same p'ae, came to town ia a buggy looking lor the Irish thieving tramp. Meanwhile it transpired that iu the early part of the morning, the Irishman had sold the clarinet to Wm. Rollman tor five dollars. Downing says the instrument belongs to a friend and that it cost h is friend $23.60 and a case for it cost $3, and if the thief bad gotten away with it, he would bave been compelled to pay $25.50. The shears the thief sold to Wallace Fasick, for fifty cents. The thief was taken bnforo tha committing justice lor a hearing at half past one o'clock, but Downing was not there to appear against him. The Squire could not bold him, and wrote out a release to the jailer, aud gave him five cents and told him to leave. Slang ier appeared upon the scene about that time aud seemed to be indignant that the Irish man should be released in that way. He asked, "What kiud of au office is this, where there is so much whispering going out" But while he tas gutting off bis indignation in dramatic style stamping around with a heavy walking stick, he did not have his workman Downing there to prefer chaigea agtiosl tho thief and hold hiiu to answer ba ton court. B. loro llu Irisiuiun got awav from the olhee of the justice, Uolimtn and Fasick, the two other victims of the Irish man's thieving qnalitiu. put in an app 'ar-anc- and wanted to know nheru tliey were to get the money that tht-y bad jut iuto the clarinet aud shears thai DoA'iiiug was ahiut to csrry away. The thief bad $3.75 iu nior.' y, h.' nai willing that bis money should gu as far as it miubt toward su'iaring op his s oncom ings. Downing had sent the cos's to the justice, and th- Sheriff hai pii l F isick trie tilty cents that Fasick was cut on the in vestment in the shears, so Hie Unci's (-'..75 was handed over to Koiinian, and it is high ly probable it was what the irishman had lelt of the Si.
