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

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. No matter bow long
the journey of life may run the principles
in the snit will never forget the case ot the
calves and beer in the Long Narrows be
tween Lewistown and Mifflintown, on the
16th day of July, 1886.

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

cases Ayer's Pills giro prompt relief.
After much snffering from Liver and
Stom.vh troubles, I bave finally been
cured by taking Ayer's Catharho Pills.
I always find them r rompt and thorough
in their action, and their occasional ua
ke"T9 me in a perfectly healthv condi

Twenty-five years ao I suffered from
a torpid liver," which was restored to
healthy action by taking Ayer's mis.
Since that time 1 have never been with
out them. They regulate the bowels,
assist digestion, and increase the appe
tite, moro surely than any other medi
cine. Paul Churchill, Haverhill, Mass.
INVIGORATED.
I know of no remedy equal to Ayer's
Pills for Stomach and Liver disorders.
I suffered from a Torpid Liver, and Dys
pepsia, for eighteen months. My skin
wan yellow, and my tongue coated. I
had no appetite, suffored from Head
ache, was pale and emaciated. A few
tioxes of Ayer's Puis, taken in moderate
dooes. restored me to perfect lieal.ii.
Waldo Miles, Oberlin, Ohio.
Ayer's Pills are a superior family
medicine. They strenthen and invig
orate the digestive organs, create an ap
petite, and remove tbe horrible depres
sion and despondency resulting from
Liver Complaint. I have used these
Pill in my family, for years, and they
never fail to give enrire satisfaction.
