SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1866.
er A most shocking accident occurr
etl at the upper end of this borough, on
afternoon last, about three
„l oc k, by which Mrs. Mary Ritten
lost her life. Mrs. R., wife of
itri:;:wre Rittenhouse, lived immediately
ppote the upper end of town, on the
county shore, and had been to this
„ ; ,:p to purchase some groceries, and
whilst crossing the railroad in front of
the o o ld Molly Hedger" property—
where the railroad runs within two feet
of the front porch—two burden trains
met—ope going east, the other west;
m rs ,R, did not observe the train going
west—the eastern one baying passed,
0 8 s t e pped forward to cross the track
when the other train struck her in the
s ide, killing her almost instantly. Dep
uty Coroner Auger held an inquest,
where it appeared in evidence that no
blame could be attached to the engineer,
she reversed his engine, whistled and
( Ikl everything to warn the old lady,
who must have supposed all the noise
t ime from the engine already passed.
the was about 60 years of age.
fir We have received a letter from
Janes C. Sanders, junior, of this place,
pow in the 77 regiment, P. V., station
ed at Metagorda bay, Texas. He com
plains very much of the treatment and
toys they are in "an unknown country,
['long the Metagorda bay, where there
neither snakes, alligators, nor civiliz
ed people, but plenty of sun and sand "
nod says they are much in need of green
goggles to protect their eyesight from
the parching sun. He says "the yellow
lever has broken out in the regiment
and that upwards of twenty died within
ten days. We were compelled to lay
In the bay for nine days, not being able
toga over the hal and subsisted dur
ing, oat time on 'Galt water and hard
tack. It is said we are to go to San
Autouia to do provost duty for the bal
sue dour enlistment. This we think
cry hard as all the ether Pennsylvania
tegenents have been mustered oat."
\V think young Sanders must have
been eronieusly informed, for we learn
through the papers, that the 77th has
twee ordered to Ilarrisbufg, to be rocs
ure,l out,

awl nothing now to rejoice over, and
tethies he thinks the reward would go
to those who had it thrown into the riv-

FATAL ACCIDENT.—About half-past
eight o'clock on Saturday morning, as
the "Union Freight Line" of the Penn
sylvania railroad, was running near Low
er Marietta station, a woman named
Mrs. McGuernsey, was instantly killed.
It seems that she was walking on the
track, ahead of the train, and although
the whistle was blown and every effort
made to alarm her, she refused to leave
the road, and before the train could be
stopped. the locomotive struck Mrs.
McC-., throwing her up to the smoke
stack, when she fell and was again
struck by the cow catcher and instant
ly killed. The conductor, Charles Hip
pie, and the engineer, (whose name . we
have not learned,) were arrested, under
the law passed last winter, making em
ployees responsible for accidents on
railroads. These men were afterward
permitted to run their train to Harris
burg, when they returned to Marietta,
and had a hearing, but there being no
evidence on which they could be held,
they were promptly discharged.—Lan
caster Examiner.
This will be news to Mariettians ; no
such accident having occurred, and no
such lady lives or ever did in our vicini
ty. Some person, we fear, has' been
playing upon our friends of the Exami
nor.
Q' The Union County Convention
met in Lancaster, on Wednesday last,
and nominated the following ticket :

Convention are : Thaddeus Stevens,
Col. David Miles, S. W. P. Boyd, B. F.

skr By reference to our advertising
columns it will be seen Messrs. Trus
cott & Guernsey, of Columbia, have
gone into refining Coal oil, The Spy
speaking of this firm, says : "It is said
that the oil manufactured at this estab
lishment stands a better teat than any
oil that comes to this market and is
perfectly non explosive and gives a
more brilliant light. We know that
Mr. Truscott is a gentleman of veracity
and would not use any admixture where
by the safety of families would be en
dangered, hence we- recommend our
merchants to buy this oil in preference
to any other."
air Judge Brinton says in a card to
the Lancaster Express, that he did re
sign in June last, and sent his resigna
tion to the Governor, and now insists
on being relieved at the end of his judi
cial year. This will necessitate the ap
pointment of a successor, by the execu
tive, for one year, or until the fall elec
tion 0f1866. The Judge says his en
feebled health compels him to withdraw
from public life.
Cr Quite an impromptu ball came off
on Thursday night in the new warehouse
of Dr. Cushman, just being finished and
located on the river bank, between the
river and canal. We understand it was
gotten-up by the returned soldier boys,
and was largely attended.
44' A returned soldier named Peter
Nelson, -was found dead in the stable
belonging to Murray's Washington
House, Maytown, a few mornings since.
Nelson had been lying around drinking
for Borne time. He was about 35 years
of age. Esquire Buser held an inquest.
He was u german, but had before the
war been working amongst the farmers
in the vicinity of Maytown.
Q The Lebanon ( Pa.) Courier says :
"At the meeting of the trustees of Frank
lin and Marshall College, at Lancaster,
last week, Hon. John Cessna was elect
ed president of the board, in place of
James Buchanan. The friends of Frank
lin and Marshall have long felt that the
connection of Mr. Buchanan with the
institution was an injury to it, but there
was a delicacy about getting rid of him."
sir A copy of the list of voters has
been placed at the post office ; at the
Hermitage Hotel, lower station, and at
Houseal's Hotel, at the upper railroad
station, where they can be examined and
any corrections made, by calling on the
Assessor, at any time previous to ten
days before the election.
ifir The Union Leagrie of this place
will meet on Monday evening in their
Rooms at 7 o'clock ; punctual attend
ance required of the members, and all
friendly to the cause are invited to at
tend—Business of importance to be
transacted—By order of D. G. P,
ea- Dr. Cushman is putting np quite
a large frame warehouse on the corner
of the bridge bill, opposite the Picot
warehouse and immediately in front of
Flury'e hotel,

resolutions on the death of Theodore
Girod until our next.
Cr Read the " Last Notice" of Mes
srs. Spangler and Patterson, in another
column,
e TirTai li a m MirlMMA 0 a, ell
lir The residence of Dr. P. A. Mutt
lenberg, Lancaster, was entered on Fri
day night last and robbed of about forty
dollars. He Bret went to the Doctor's
office and procured some chloroform,
and saturating a sponge threw it into a
transom window into the chamber of a
young M uhlenberg, when he opened the,
door and proceeded to the bureau and
commenced to rifle the drawers. In the
meantime the young man awoke from
his partial unconsciousness and grappled
with the burglar, A terrific struggle
ensued, during which the burglar made
several attempts to take the life of
young M. He received several slight
cuts on the neck and breast, and one
very deep one on the leg. The burglar
becoming alarmed at the brave resist
ance, and fearful of aid arriving left hur
riedly, in his exit from the room drop
ping a gold watch he had taken from the
bureau. This was a most daringattempt
at murder.
Cr Dr: Daniel I Bruner, of Columbia,
has been appointed examining surgeon
by the commissioner of Pensions, to ex
amine soldiers who are applicants for
invalid pensions from wounds or disabil
ity received while in the service. The
Pension Law also requires a semi-annual
or annual examination of all Invalid
Pensioners. Dr. B. is a Physician of
more than thirty years standing and
ranks among the first of his profession
in our county.
cr Father Keenan, of Lancaster,
had his residence entered a few days
since, and robbed of some wearing ap
parel.
Or We received from 51re. Coyle, a
basket of the very finest free-stone
peaches we ever saw before. They were
particularly fine.

N EW HOOP SKIRT
FOR 1865-61
Gvnt ioeVion of the RO6
HOOP SKIRTS.
J. TV. BRADLEY'S
New Patent Duplex .Elliptic (or double)
Spring Skirt:
THIS Invention consists of Duplex (or two)
Elliptic mire refined steel springs, ingeniously
braided lightly and firmly together, edge to
edge,making the toughest, most flexible, elas
ticand durable spring ever used. They sel
dom bend or break, like the single springs,
and consequently preserve their perfect and
beautiful shape more than twice as long as
any single spring skirt that ever has or can be
made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort
and pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex
Elliptic skirt will be experienced particularly
in all crowded Assemblies, Operas, carriages,
railroad cars, church pews, arm chairs, for
promenade and house dress, as the skirt can
be folded when in use to occupy a small place
as easily and conveniently as a silk or muslin
dress.
A lady having enjoyed the plea Sure, com
fort and great convenience of wearing the du
plex elliptic steel spring skirt for a single day
will never afterwards willingly dispense with
their use. For children, Misses, and young
ladies they are superier to all others.
The hoops are covered with 2 ply double
twisted thread and will wear twice as long as_
the single yarn covering which is used on all
Single steel hoop skirts. The three bottom
rods on every skirt are also double steel, and
-
, twice or double covered to prevent the cover
ing from wearing off the rods when dragging
doAm stairs, stone steps, &c., &c., which they
are constantly subject to when in use.
All are made of the new and elegant corded
tapes, and are the best quality in every part,
giving to the wearer the most graceful and
perfect shape possible, and are unquestionably
the lightest, most desirable, comfortable and
economical Skirt ever made.

WALL BRUSHES,
A new article in this market, and far superior
to any other in use. A few reasons why :
First.—They are free from twine, which is
affected by the lime, and liable to rot, caus
ing the falling out of the bristles.
Second.—The bristles are inserted in the
wood, or body of the brush, when green, which
when dry, causes them to be held firmly in
their place ; any subsequent soaking or shrink
age fails to affect them.
Third.—They are made of Bristles exclusive
ly ; many kinds being • composed, in part, of
whalebone.
Fourth.—They contain more bristles for the
size, and are as cheap..is the ordinary kind.
