NEWS ABOUT HOME.
A WONDERFUL EtiVAPE.-011 Tuesday of last
week, whilst the evening train of cars was coo•'
ing in front the East, when a short distance be
low the bridge over the creek, at this place, it
ran over a cow, which threw three of the cars
off the track, and as the engine was under tre
mendous headway, dragged them a distance of
some two hundred yards. The escape of the
passengers from a most horrible death was teu•
ly wonderful, and clearly indicates the miracu
lous interposition of the Almighty arm. The
only thing which prevented the cars from plun
ging over the bridge into the creek, with their
living freight, was the cordon extending along.
Several huge stones were peeled off by the car•
wheels, as neatly as if sawed. The care were
dragged over the entire length of the bridge
with but "a step" between the passengers and
death, and were finally thrown over ariembank
meat some sixteen or twenty feet high, with•
out the loss of life or serious injury of a single
individual 1 The cars were all more or less
damaged, and the track for some one hundred
yards was as completely torn up as if an earth
quake had taken place. On Wednesday, the
track was again clear, and ready for another
"smash." We cannot, for the life of us, when
we look at the awful position in which the pas
sengers were placed, bee how any sane man
can doubt the existence of an All• Wise, over
ruling Providence, "who doeth all things well."
MORE OF me .—Some six months ago, a
family of some haltdozen manumitted slaves
from Virginia, took up their abode in this place.
In company with this family was a woman who
had been freed by her master, but whose has
band was still under tho lash of the overseer.
She became dissatisfied with her condition here
and determined on returning to her husband
and slavery, having no hope of ever being able
to purchase Isis freedom. Before returning,
however, she was persuaded to make a trial,
and accordingly she started out among our cit
izens with a subscription paper, on her almost
hopeless effin t. She succeeded so well here,
however, that site visited other parts of this
and Blair county, and the result was the sum
required for the liberation of her slave husband
—eight hundred dollars ! The money was
sent, and some two weeks ago, her husbanil nr '
rived at this place, a free man, but not alone—
ho brought with him another family, consisting
of only fourteen, who had been freed by their
master. We recommend that a portion of the
"Liberian fund" be sent up this way, to colonize
these "chattles," on the Lick Ridges.
Now POSTMASTEIL—We can give Mr. Buch
anan's administration credit fur doing one good
Ibt, at least the removal of the late post of
fice official at this place. "Old Buck" deserves
t he thanks of this community fur this act "of
kindness and merciful deliverance" from a long
endured evil. We congratulate our fellow•oiti.
zens on their happy riddance from one • of the
most annoying nuisances .hich can be inflict
ed upon a community—a busily managed post
office or an incompetent or unfairpostmas
ter. Mr. William Colon, the new appointee,
outside of politics and political 'arrangeme nts'
thereunto appertaining, is a good citizen, a
clover fellow, and we have no doubt will make
an attentive and obliging officer. At least, we
know him to be honest and upright (with the
forgoing qualification) in his "walk and conver
sation," and cannot be an exchange for the
worse. Ills appcintmeut gives genetal satis.
faction.
Oen troy, I..—We have some as well-fur.
uished hotels and obliging landlords in our !tn.
loge, as can be found. We have room to no
tice a few of them.—The "Black Bear," by
Col. Williams, is a well•regulatcd and well kept
hotel, and the Col. is a prides of landlords.—
The "Exchange," by Col. Johnson, is an admi•
rabic house, and everything there is gotten op
in the right style.—" Jackson's Hotel," by Ma
jor Zeigler, is a first class hotel, and has been
titled up in an elegant style by the Major:—
The "Huntingdon House" by our old friend H.
Cornprobst, is also a well•conducted hotel, and
any one of the forgoing we can recommend to
strangers, travelers, "and the rest of mank•n".'

TUE FAIR.—As it is now a fixed fact, and o
"dead certainty," as Sam Weller says, that we
ore to have another County Fair next fall, we
would suggest to our fellow-citizens the idea of
getting up one on a grand scale. Let our far
mers pay attention to their grain and fruit, and
send along the best. Let our enterprising me
chanics "fix up" some "brag" job in their lino
of business, and our fisir Indies be on hand
with their ecntributions. Let every one—men,
women, children and babies take an interest in
the matter, and "put things through."

day evening another one was killed above town,
belonging to Mr. John White. On Thursday

DEAn.—Mr. Wm. Norris, whom we noticed
last week, as being likely to recover from the
injuries he received by the falling of a log up
on him, at a harn.raising in Woodcock valley,
has since died.
"CANDLE Cosr.."—We have received from
,cur handsome young friend, Col. T. D. Gill, of
.Iliddlesburg, a specimen of the above named
coal, taken from the mines at that place. It is
so called because it is said to. ignite and blase
liko a candle.
RIV.—We have seldom heard tell of a jui•
cicr season than the past spring and present
summer. so far, have been. It has been a con-
tinual and unceasing driz, driz, drizzle, or a

STORM.—The storm of Saturday night done
he ri ou a damage in many parts of the county.
A woman was blown off the bridge at McColl
e el Istown, into the creek, and was almost drown
ed ore rescued.
Sir Our Gas men are now busily engaged
in laying down the pipes, and are progressit.g
rapidly,
BLAIR COI7NTY.—We find the following in
the Standard.—HA young woman named
Cruse residing in Frankstown, attempted sui- !
tide on Sunday evening last, by taking Laud
anum. The fact being discovered, a physician
was sent for and the proper remedies adminis
tered just in time to save her life. Disppoint,-
. went in love affair is said to have been the
cause of the rash attempt,"
"On Saturday morning last the body of a
new bckn male infant was discovered in the
river immediately below the viaduct. The
body was enclosed in clothes, with a string
and brick attached, and, from its condition, bad
evidently lain in the water for a couple of
weeks. Coroner Funk was immediately noti
fied of the fact, a jury summoned, and a ver
dict rendered that the child came to its death
by the hands of some person or persons un
known. Suspicion is at a loss to fix the crime
upon any one, and the probability is that its
guilty author or authors will escape the pun
ishment they so richly merit in this world; but
there is a day of reckoning coming, when they
will have the full measure of their deserts me
ted out to them by an impartial and unsparing
hand."
Dar The shipments of coal from the Broad
Top Mines, for the week ending Thursday, 11th
of June, were 2369 tons. Total for season,

Couldn't Conte It.—Dr. Cheever, of New
York, some time ago preached a sermon that
was unpalatable to the admirers of Slavery.—
Some of the Deacons of the church, who love
the almighty dollar more than the Almighty
himself, undertook to eject the doctor from
the Church. The Congregation recently after
a stormy debate, adopted a report of the spe

THE GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED
by the public to procure more certain secu

Mortgages, Deeds, Notes and Books of Accounts,
than the ordinary SAFES heretofore in use affor

Universally acknowledged as the CHAMPION
NAPE OF THE WORLD. Having been awarded
Medals at both the Worlds Fair, London, 1851,
and Crystal Palace, N. Y., 1853, as superior to

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchi
tie, Asthma, Lartyngittis and all diseases of tho
throat and lungs, by medical Inhalation, lately
used in the Bromton Hospital, London. The
great point in the treatment of all human male
dies is to get at the disease in the direct man
ner, All medicines are estimated by their ac
tion upon the organ requiring relief. This is
the important fact upon which Inhalation is ba
sed. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. lithe lungs
are diseased, breathe or inhale medicated va
pors directly into the lungs. Medicines ore the
antidotes to disease and should be applied to
the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the ap
plication of this pnnciple 'to the treatment of
the lungs, for it gives us direct access to those
intricate air cells and tubes which lie out of
reach of every other means 'of administering
medicines. The reason that Consumption, and
other diseases of the lungs, hove heretofore re
sisted all treatment has been because they had
never been approached in a direct manner by
medicine. They were intended to act upon the
lungs and yet were applied to the stomach.—
' Their action was intended to•be local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should not
act constistutionally, expending immediate and
principal action upon the unoliending stomach,
whilst the foul ulcers within the lungs were un
molested. Inhalation brings the medicine in
direct contact with the disease, without the
disadvantage of any violent action. Its appli
cation is simple, that it can be employed by the
youngest infant or feeblest invalid. t doe s not
derange the stomach, or interfere in the least de
gree with the strength, comfort, or business of
the patient. _ . .
