From tho Freeburg Courier of
April 12 : "Daniel R. Reigel, who
resides as a tenant on tho farm of
Augustus Springuian since April 1st,
received injuries from a fall at Fish
er's Ferry, Tuesday afternoon, which
proved fatal. Tho particulars as wo
havo received them are as follows :
Mr. Roigel was driving down the
river with a stallion hitchod to a
cart, a freight train passed over tho
railroad from tho sumo direction, at
this the auimal took fright. At tho
school-house nearly a milo below
Fisher's Ferry tho stallion ran across
tho railroad and came very neur be
ing caught by tho train. Ho ran
over tho embankment, when Mr.
Reigel was thrown violently to tho
ground. Tho animal ran nearly a
milo when he was captured and
brought back, meanwhile Mr. Roigel
was taken to tho nearest house by
the hands on tho train and tho track
hands who were repairing tho road
near by. Tho accident happenod at
S p. m., from which time tho unfor
tunato man was unconscious until
niue in the evening when ho died.
Two railroad hands cuuie on foot
from the Ferry at 2 a. m., aroused
the family of Geo. S. Shaffer and in
formed them of the accident. Mr
Shaffer brought the remains of Mr
Reigel to his home. ' I

horso thief, tuado an attempt to
break out of tho Snyder county pris

cessful.
Sinco Fry attempted to bang him.
si If tho BlierilV allowed the prisoners
tliu freedom of the corridors, and on
tho night in question these three
prisoners gained an cntranco to tho
water-tank apartment. Immediate
ly over tho tank is a sky light,
tlirought which they reached tho
roof. Upon reaching it tho rattling
of tho tin ou tho roof awakened
James Lose, one of the other pris
oners. Ho ran down to the main
d ior and called David Stahlneck
er, tho turn-key, who opened the
door, when Lose ran to the buck of
tl.o jail and guarded tho yard door.
Mr. Stahlnecker called the prisoners,
when Reinhart came down from tho
roof by tho way ho had gone. Folk
and Fry had already reached the
yiird by means of the spouting and
wi'io trying to get over tho fifteen
foot stono wall surrounding it, but
Wi-ro promptly captured and return
ed to iheir cells.
On Tuesday morning tho editor
visited the jail and in company with
the Sheriff called upon tho boys.

Something abouttheNew R.R.
Tho Mowing is an outline of the
proposed uew railroad by the Read
ing to connect Huntingdon with the
main line at Northumberland :
From Huntingdon up Stono Val
ley, by way of McAleavy's Fort, to
the neighborhood of Milroy, in Mif
lling county : thence down tho val
ley north of Jack's Mountain, and
through Rriuingcr'rt Gap to Troxel
ville, in Snyder county ; thence
down Mussel 's Valley south of Jack's
Mountain, to Penn's Creek, in Un
ion county ; down Penn's Creek to
New Rerlin at the head of Dry Val-
ley, and thence down Dry Valley to
or Dear Wintield, and there connect
with tho Reading, a distance of 70
73 miles.
A survey of tho route from Hun
tingdon to near Milroy, about 2S
miles, has already been made and is
found to bo easy and practicable.
From Wintield to Milroy, about 4"j
miles, is ono of tho best routes in
tho State. Westward from Win field,
through New Rurlin and on to tho
crossing of Penn's Creek near Cen
terville, the routo would bo almost a
straight line, with an easy grade,
aud through ono of the most beauti
ful little valleys in Central Pennsyl
vania. Penn's Crook can bo cross
ed with a single span at a point
whero tho rocky banks would af
ford almost natural abutments.
Crossing Penn's Crock tho line
strikes Musser's Valley and again
on a straight line, and almost per
fect level along tho south side of
Jack's Mountain, enters Rroiningcr's
Gap north of Troxelville, am1 with

valleys, Hevisa andTreaster's either
of which may be taken. From eith
er of these valleys the route wouh
strike the lower end of Kishacoquil
las Valley, not far from Milroy.
The entire route is free from largo
streams and would require very lit
tie deep cutting or heavy tilling. Ex
cept the crossing of penn's Creek
and that but once, there would
hardly bo a culvert costing "", an

To Hotel Keepers.
At the close of the Rlair colllitv
license court ou Tuesday last.Judgi
Dean tiled the following pertinent
advice to hotel keepers in the form
of a decree :
Wo call the attention of hot
keepers who have been granted 1'-
cense to t he fact t hat they are licens
ed because of the necessary of their
house for i n 1 1 1 it accommodation.
not only in the salo of liquor, but
with furnishing tho public wit h food
and loijging. .Notalttlie pulilic by
nuv means care for liquor, all, how
ever, do want good food and com
fortable beds and rooms. At tl'c
next consideration of theso cases we
will he:'i' remonstrances by any ono
of the I n 1 ! li' wlio chooses to com
plain as to any part of the hotel ac
commodations. Fucleaiiliness, di
lapidated furniture, insufficient or
poor food, will be considered ground
for refusing licenses. Further, tho
keening open of bar rooms late
hours of tho night will bo consider
ed evidence of a poorly regulated
hotel and treated as a good reason
for a refusal of license.

Sowing Clover.
The exceptional season affords ex
cellent facilities for sowing clover
and grass seed. I have found dur
ing a good many years past that
I hoi e seeds should ,n well covered
with soil, and be put inns eaily a,
possible. There ru e several reasons
why the seed, alt hough it is so small,
should have a sufficient oocring of
soil and this is not less than an
inch deep. The tender spire of grass
and the seed leaves of clover have a
small root and are killed out right
by a few hours of hot sunshine, or
dry wind which takes all the mois
ture out of the surface noil. I have
closely watched the voting plants
which started to grow from surface
sown and uncovered seed in the
spring and most of them lay upon
tho surface with tho roots sprawling
and vainly trying to penetrate the
soil. If tho weather should bo wet
and warm they may succeed in this;
but a sharp frost, or a hot sun or
dry wind for a few hours causes tho
struggling root to wither and per
ish. This may bo observed by any
farmer who will take the trouble to
examine the s 1 a few days after it
has been sown ou the surface in tho
spring, without any attempt to ( -
erii. And it is the cause in most
cases of failure to catch and loss of
seed and time and a crop, all of
which disturb fatally the order of
tho farmer's work. Sometimes this
danger may be evaded by sow ing
the seed ou the froen ground when
it is broken up and cracked with
innumerable fissures and the sur
face is raised by the frost. Thel
w.i..- , .iVV-" -.
i covered saft'vii'in' : lua 'Iiret'iu'i,
or rain. If a good opportunity is
waited and watched for, for this pur
pose, there may be safety in surface
sowing. Just now the open weather
offers such opportunities, which
should not be neglected; for with
every future freezing and thawing
of the surface the seed will sink
deeper and gain full protection for
tho roots when germination occurs.
And when this occurs the result is
this: The young root starts into the
soil straight down, while the seed
haves or the spire me protected,
and before they leach the light the
root has penetrated two or three
inches into the soil. I have dug up
young clover plants whose tiny
leaves have Jilst pellet luted to the
sin face, and havo found not only a
root, but many of them branching
freely uu.l having a firm hold of the
soil and three inches long. Such
roots have a firm foundation and aro
sale iro m harm ir a dry season of
two or three weeks should happen.
And the soil just now is in tho best
cunlitiou for this safe recent inn nf
the seed. My plan, however, has
been to sow theso seeds at IlltV time
when tho land is tit for tho harrow.
and either alone or with anv other
crop, whether it bo wheat, rye, oats,
barley, buckwheat, or millet, but
not later than July, and if the soil
is in good condition and the seed is
sown immediately after the main
harrowing, and is then covered with
a light sloping tooth harrow, the
crop is safe no matter what kind of
weather follows ; at L ast I havo not
had a failure with seed thus sown
for 20 yours, but previously there
were several in coiisoquonco of dry
went her or a frost after the surface
seed had germinated in tho weakly
manner above described. Those
who intend to sow clover seed should
buy their seed at once, and should
liguro on at least one peck to tho
acre. Fahmi-ii
