Boys will take the risk of jumping cars. The penalty they pay Is fearful to think of. Anti-Poverty-Society Henry George is lecturing at the rate of $50 a night, which is all right enough if people will pay that to him out of their own funds, but what an inconsistent fellow he is, in not practicing what he preaches, he has never been known to equalise, and share his fifty dollars with people who earned nothing that night. On Saturday night a week about 9 o'clock as A. M. Barrier and family, of Oriental were returning from a visit to a friend's bouse, they found their bam in flames. They were near enough to get to the barn and turn out the live stock. The door of the bouse had been forced open by a grub bing boe, bot nothing more than bread was taken from it.

Mrs. Soda, of Jericho Mills was thrown out of her spring wagon, on Main street on Wednesday, by tbe sudden turning of the horse. Tbe seat or the wa gon went with her and covered her Irom sftht.

Captain Hinkle escorted the old lady into his store where ahe sat and recovered from the fright that had overtaken her by tbe fall.

On tbe 7 th, a water-spout west of Hoover ville, Somerset county, did great damage to Hoovorville. The town was entirely un der water, the destruction of property can not as yet be estimated. Twenty houses were washed off their foundation walls. One hundred families lost everything and fled to the hills for personal safety. Tbe water ran in a great wave along tbe streams carrying all bridges before it, and spread itself over that part of Johnstown built on the level land. A great deal of damage was done to property in Johnstown. Mrs. J. D. Morrell and Colonel Cooper died from tbe effects of excitement caused by tbe wa ter flooding the lower story of their respec tive bouses. Tbe Committee of Arrangements have not yet quite perfected their programme for the celebration of tbe glorious 4th, but thin a day's time all things will be ready for announcement. Give a day to the cel ebration of the memory of the deeds of tbe great great grand-fathers, who gave us tbis oodly political heritage. While tbe pop ulation of Juniata is made up almost exclu sively of people who are descendants of tbe patriots of 1776, it has a sprinkling of worthy foreigners, for whom, tbe patriots said, this country should be a place of ref uge and sslety, foreigners who have come to the Republic to make it their home and who are helping to bear the cares of their respective districts.

Citizens' 4th f July Meetlns;. can a be tbe Pursuant to a call a number of citizens assembled in the Court House on Friday evening, at 8 o'clock, to make arrangements for celebrating the 4th of July with a prop er, and old-time demonstration. There were not many of them and they did not exactly know what to do, being, we suppose, all too modest to make a move to organise tbe meeting. Representative Martin and citizen Jacob Will were having a discussion as to the time the Court Mouse was built, and neither of them was positive as to the date. Mer chant Hackenberger was seated in the Court Crier's chair, aad it was with difficulty he could be restrained from shouting, "Fresh fish!" Editor Allison was sitting on his back with his feet on a level with his face, resing his pedal extremities on the marble top of the beater register, alongside of Rev. Berry's white, stove-pipe hat. Dr. Rogers was crouched up in a front seat, looking as if he was afraid that something might at tack him, but he raised the courage neces sary to ask what tbe wires running along the ceiling to remedy the bad acoustic prop erties of the audience chamber were for. He was informed by some wag in tbe room that they were turkey roosts. Few citizens making tbeir appearance, Hackenberger was ordered to ring tbe bell by the talking patriots of the meeting. He did so, and continuing tor several minutes longer than is usual, Commissioners Clerk Loudon made his appearance and insisted that tbe ringing stop. Perhaps be was fearful of a reprimand from tbe Commissioner. Pro thonotary Meminger, merchant J. W. Kirk and a few others remained quiet. Dr. San- do, fearful that some one might be sic k and needing physic, hastened from the room. Inquiries were made for ex-Sheriff J. W. Hamilton, the prime mover of tbe proposed old -time-4th-ol -July demonstration, but he was not present. After several attempts, Dr. Rogers in a very meek and I'm-af raid-so meone-will-hit- me manner moved that Wm. Allison be Chairman of the meeting. Tbe motion was seconded and Allison waa made Chairman. W. J. Jackuian was nominated for Secre tary of the meeting, when Allison recover ed from tbe surprise at being elected Presi dent, and said, "Dontwsnt it! Won't have t-" The Secretary business was immedi ately dropped. Congressmsn L. E. Atkinson was nomi nated for Chairman, but he promptly de clined the honor, saying, be probably would be from hone during the demonstration, and he did not think it proper for anyone to serve who would take no part in tbe cel ebration. AI. Hackenberger said, "That didn't make any difference, we want some body to be President to-nigbt." The Dr's. decisioi stood. - . Recorder Berry wss then nominated, but promptly declined, saying, the order of the evening was to decline and he would not have the Chairmanship shoved on him. The meeting became quiet for several minutes. Tbey had run out of material for Presidents. Squire McCrum waa slowly coming down the north aisle, when Merchant Heck made the discovery that he was a new man, and be was nominated and elected Chairman before be could find a seat. And the Squire entirely ignorant of the fact that be wi man chosen for a place that three men bad declined to fill, took the chair, and said There is one satisfaction in being Chair man of a meeting, yon are excused from serving on any or all committees. I thank yon for the honor." J. W. Kirk was chosen Secretary, and took his place alongside of the Chairman, with an air of modesty very becoming. Tbe Chairman stated that he supposed all were familiar with tbe object of the meeting and that he was nnder tbe impression that it was for tbe purpose of making arrange ments for sn old fashioned 4th of July dem onstration, and that it would be impossible to do that without contributions from tbe public He also stated that it was neces sary to elect a Treasurer. - T. V. Irwin and Shelly Klosj were nom inated for Treasurer. A vote was taken and the Chairman announced that Mr. Kloss waa elected Treasurer of tbe 4th of July fund. The names of the committee on arrange ments as presented by W. J. Jackman are as follows: for Mifflintown, J. W. Hughes, R. E. Parker, E. E. Berry, and J. S. Mc- Cauley ; for Patterson, W. S. North, and W. D. Cramer. Objections were msde to Mifflintown hav ing four of the Committee and Pattetaon but two. To equalize matters, Joseph Pen nei and F. F. Rohin were added to the Com mitteeio Patterson. The Chairman announced that it was un derstood that tbe Committee have power to appoint all sub committees. J. W. Hughes was appointed Chairman of the Committee, with power to call the committee to meeting at any time. It was announced that the subscriptions be paid to the Treasurer, at tbe bank. AU arrangements were left in the bands of the Committee, and until they announce publicly what will be done, all will be mere conjecture.

May 18th, was removed from the place where it had been deposited nearly forty four years before, in the corner-atone of Kmannel's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Thompsontown. In the atone was a tin box, well soldered, tbe contents of which were in an excellent state of preservation. These were, a small Bible, a Lutheran Hymn book, (old edition) an English and a German Lu theran catechism, a copy of tbe Lutheran Observer, and a German Paper, of a date near to the time wben deposited, and three written papers, one a copy of the constitu tion of tbe church, one a brief history of the congregation up to tbe time of the lay ing of tbe corner-stone, and the third a cer tificate of that event. Tbe second paper states that, "In the year of oar Lord 1835, tbe Reverend 8. R- Buyer, of Mifflintown, commenced preaching in the Academy in tbis place.

It causes Headache, Mental De pression, impairs the Sight and Hearing, destroys the Appetite, and, when long continued, causes Enlargement of the Liver, Inflammation of the Bowels, and Piles. Constipation is speedily cured by Ayer's Pills. For a number of months I was troubled with Costivoness, in conse quence of which I suffered from Loss ot Appetite, Dyspepsia, and a disordered liver.
