Levi R. Miller, of Jackson town
ship, this county, is serving as a
grand juror this week. 1 Ie enlisted
in the late war from Union town
ship and served during the struggle
to maintain the Union. At Sailor's
creek, Va., he was shot in the nose.
Doctors prolx'd for the ball in vain.
It remained iu his head, and for
years it fostered and gave .out an of
fensive odor, so much so that it be
came intolerable tor other people
to be with him. In 1SS0 while
Mr. Miller had a cold he sneezed
and the Ixill was loosened and then
he worked it out having been in fir
24 years and 20 days. The ball
weighs an ounce air! is considerably
mutiLtud. Mr. Miller exhibited
the ball to us while here at court.
Henry F. Charles, ot I'riiontovn

struction. This is only too true.
The roof has sunken down more
than six inches during the past three
years. A galvanized roof or a

weather might not damage it so
much. Mr. Charles oilers to contri
bute a pack of shingles and labor
or anything else to do his share to

monument we have id the Indian

Scdal Club's Ee:e?tion.
The Middlobiirg Social Club gave
a brilliant and highlysuceessful mid
leiitern ball in their handsome hull
Mom in the llunklmildiiigou Tues
day evening last. Owing to the
jM'iiitcntial season the function w Idle
not as formal as the two previous
assemblies outstrippd, in social coin
aradcrie and complete pleasure, any
tlan"e hitherto held by MiddlebiugV
swell set. It was a genuine feast
of liU-ral enjoyment and enthusiastic
gaycty from start to finish, but the
ladies w ho had all constituted them
selves patronesses for tlie o''asion
were hound to make it a suceesscvcii
though the staid matrons of nietro
iMililait WK'ietv would iimbablv frown
upon a dance U'tw c en Shrove Tues
day and Eastertide. It has liecu
the rule to hold the last Assembly
during Judge McClurc's February
Term of Court, as this invariably
brings to town a supple mental array
of young social men ; but this yea
it was necessary to give it the iii
Tuesday in March owing to the fact
that His Honor's term ofcoiirt w ill
be concluded this week, and there
will lc no other until May. The
hniuUiine young judge entered into
the festivities of the occasion with
his accustomed vivacity and igor
of personality and seemed to enjov
himself highly, for he trod nearly
