Harry Sunday had three of his fingers badly mashed by the pulley at the fur nace last week. The splendid shower of Thursday eve ning did much towards reviving dried up vegetation. A. M. Markel, Esq., has taken posses sion of his new oillce, opposite Ens minger's hotel. Payments that were promised " after harvest"! can now be made provided you have the money to do it with. Another lot of railroad men, eleven in number, were up again from Marysville on Tuesday last. The Bame parties that sent up former cases were the prosecu tors. The Juniata Tribune, established by E. B. McCrum, has been sold to E. L. Doty and after the 13th inst. will be run as a Democratic Journal, On Tuesday night of last week, a forcible entrance was made by thieves into Win. McLean's flour mill, adjacent to Shippensburg, and robbed of about nine sacks of flour. On Tuesday last Miss Sophia Swartz, of Marysville, was badly bitten by a dog belonging to Wm. Jackson, of that place. The dog seems to be given to that sort of amusement. A team belonging to Keeley Everhart run away in Newport on Tuesday last, and brought up against the hitching post in front of Dr. Whitmer's office, where it was stopped with a broken wagon pole as the net result. Those who failed to see the solar eclipse on Monday afternoon of last week will probably be glad to learn that a lunar elipse will occur on the night of August 12th. Camping and fishing parties can ob tain a good light by soaking a common brick in kerosene oil for ten minutes. The brick absorbs the oil, and on being suspended with wire and ignited, a bril liant light lasting for half an hour is ob tained. A Good Example for Supervisors. Down in Bucks county, when the roads are undergoing repairs, and the sods and chunks from the gutters at the sides are thrown into the middle of the road, the Supervisor goes over them with a heavy iron roller, which makes the surface as smooth and solid as could be desired. .Every Supervisor snould nave such a roller. Weather Report. B. Mclntire, Esq., hands us the following report of the weather for the month of July, 1878: Average of Thermometer at 8 o'clock A M., 70 23' ; of Barometer, 30 inches minus 6-tentbs. Average of greatest heat, 80 20' ; of lowest cold, 66 35'. There fell 2 inches and2-tenths of rain, but this fell in such small quantities at a time that it did no good to vegetation. There was less rain in this month than In any July for over ten years. Have You ? All persons having rela tives, friends or acquaintance buried in the old grave-yard in this borough, are respectfully invited to meet on the prem ises on Saturday next, (August 10th,) at 9 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of cut ting down the briers, bushes, Ac, which cast a disgrace upon the place. Come, or send a substitute armed with a scythe, rake or fork. Don't permit the old bu rial ground to be an eye-sore to the com munity any longer, if you have respect for departed friends. Heretofore, the work has devolved on ten or a dozen men and women. Don't fall to report at the appointed time. Church Notice. Union Services in the Lutheran Church next Sunday at 8 P. M. Preaching in the Presbyterian Church next Sunday at 10i A. M., immediately at close of Sunday School to accomodate those going to Dick's Gap meeting Sunday School at 9:30 A. M. Wednes day prayer meeting at 8 P. M. Please note this last change of hour. Barn Burned. During the thunder storm of Thursday evening the barn be longing to Philip Cook, in Miller town ship, was struck by lightning and the building and contents were entirely con sumed. The barn was a log building of not much value, but it contained his entire crop of this season, and some valuable farming implements, which make It a serious loss. No stock was in the building. - Fall of a Church Celling. Quite a mis fortune befel the Bethel Church in Itye townshlp last week. When the Sexton opened the building he found that the celling lath and some of the timbers had fallen, crushing the pews badly. Had the accident happened while the building was occupied, the consequences would have been fearful. It is a great loss to the congregation which is not a wealthy one, and had hardly got the church paid for. Bad workmanship caused the disaster. Robbers Captured Two iramps, who gave their names as John Lemon and John Myers, were arrested last week in iv barn near Dillsburg. On being search ed the watch and money Btolen from the house of Mr. Beltzhoover, at Boiling Springs, on Monday night were found upon them, and on their being taken to the residence of Mr. Beltzhoover they were fully indentifled as the robbers. They were taken to Carlisle and placed in Jail. They intimated to their cap tors that they knew the authors of other depredations in the Cumberland valley and would expose them. Horse Thieves. The Chambersburg Repository says: On Saturday night last,a horse,saddle and bridle were stolen from Mr. Jacob Grove, who resides near Brown's Mills. The horso was taken from the pasture field. A heavy set animal, color black, light tail, white spots on right cheek. The saddle and bridle are new. A reward of $50 is ofl'cred for the arrest of the thief and recovery of the horse. We also. learn that on the Bame night, a horse was stolen from a field near Oak vllle, Cumberland county. The proper ty of Mr. Duncan Green. New Fee Bill For County Officers. The new fee bill for Sheriffs, prothonotarlcs, clerks of the several courts, registers and recorders, passed at the recent session of the Legislature, applies to all counties having more than ten thousand and lesB than one hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants. It makes a universal re duction of the fees, and will lessen the value of several offices to a considerable extent. It will also have the effect of lessening the competition for those offices in future campaigns. Its provis ions do not effect present incumbents. The sheriff is effected the most and the recorder and register the least. We see it stated that the reduction in Sheriffs fees will be thirty to forty per cent., and those of the register and recorder about twenty per cent. A Preacher Gone Wrong. The Rev. Daniel Baker has been preaching for the Tunker Church at Brown's Mill for the past eighteen months. He came there from Virginia, and had a wife and fami ly ; a man past middle age, we believe. Yesterday Mr. Baker left Brown's Mills. The reason he left was on account of some scandal in regard to him and a girl of the neighborhood, and the additional fact that the brother of the girl, armed with a shot gun, had found the couple in each other's company under very peculiar and suspicious circum- stances, to express it mildly, and had fired a charge at the minister, which came near ending his ministerial and earthly career. After hearing the report and the battering of the shot in the blackberry bushes near him, Mr. Baker set his face toward Virginia, and stood not on the manner of his going. Good' bye, Mr. Baker. Greencastle Press. Serious Railroad Accident. An accident accompanied with a fatal result occurred at Millersburg, on Tuesday afternoon. While John 11. and Ferris Graybill, of the firm of Graybill Bros., Augustus Miller, James Kemp and Martin Weaver were on their way to Liverpool to in spect a boiler, the Messrs. Graybill de sired to purchase, (the entire party otf. cupying a wagon with top) and while on their way to the ferry, while crossing the railroad in town, were struck by the Niagara express engine going west. The wagon was literally broken into frag ments and Martin Weaver so badly in jured that be died from the injuries he received two hours afterward. Mr, Weaver was found lying on the pilot of the engine. Ills body was badly broken up. He was conscious for a short time only, and his screams could be heard for more than a square. He was steward of the Masonic lodge. John Graybill who sat beside Mr. Weaver, and drove the team, was se verely hurt about the breast. He was saved by holding on to the lines and the horses dragging him off the track out of barm's way. Ferris Graybill was caught in the wreck and escaped with a bruise In the forehead and eye, and a pretty bad cut on the nose. He says he was thrown violently, head foremost, on the ground, and made a narrow escape from break ing his neck. Mr. Kemp, a boiler maker from Ly- kens, went down with the wagon and was severely cut about the head and had one of his legs severely bruised and cut In several places. He left in the 5 P. M. train for his home at Lykens. Mr. Miller, who is a mill wrlght, sprang out of the wagon in order to save himself, and escaped with a badly frac tured arm ( above the elbow) the cap be ing literally torn loose, producing a very painful wound. This patient was put under the influence of ether to ad- Just the injured arm. At the late Sheriff's Sales properties were sold as follows : John II. Lay and John M.

Albright heirs' property in Newport to Amos B. Happle, for $300.

Last win ter an aged couple named Kintzler, were murdered in their own house (which was afterwards set on fire), near Trexlervllle, in Snyder county. They had some $2,500 or $3,000 in their posses sion at the time, and for this they were murdered, and, as is now supposed, the house was set on fire to avoid suspicion Their charred remains were recovered and interred. Among the parties ar rested on suspicion were Emanuel Ed- din ger and two others, but for want of evidence they were released some time last winter. A young womtin named Sarah Hartley lived with Eddlnger at the time of the murder as housekeeper, Eddlnger, Jordan and others were after wards arrested for stealing bees and con victed and sent to the penitentiary in May last. Since that time Miss Hartley has become uneasy and now says that Emanuel Eddiuger, Israel Erb, Uriah and Jonathan Moyer, the latter's wife and herself committed the deed first only intending to rob, but the chloro form not operating as desired they mur dered the old people and afterwards set fire to the house. One of the Moyers, she avers, had to be be coaxed into the business. Israel Erb and Uriah Moyer are now In Jail, as also is Sarah Hart leythe latter is held as a witness. John Moyer and wife are residing Kan sas, and will doubtless be arrested there and brought to Pennsylvania for trial if the confession proves true or' worthy of regard. The relatives of the suppos ed murderers are trying their best, says the Selinsgrove Times, to damage Miss Hartley's reputation. The story she gives about marked trees and points where she says the money had been hid are found to be correct. The indications are, that the next sheriff will have an Interesting but painful job to perform the hanging of four men ! For The Bloomfleld Time. Doings In Spring Township. Mr. Editor : I wish to let the readers of The Times know the progress in this part of the county. Judge Hiland has put up a large barn that is a tine addi tion to his property. G. Boyer had six swarms of bees out in one day this summer. " Sammy," the great bee hunter, found six swarms in the Mountain all in one day, and that a bunday. lie lias remarkable luck,and we uouut u any one can beat it. Beta Ten Th Woomfleld Time.

BAKER, II. C. GANTT, Sec'y. Committee. Cumberland County. We copy the fol lowing from the Cumberland county papers of last week : The fifth annual trl-State picnio of Patrons of Husbandry and farmers of Boutnern I'ennsyivania, western Mary land and West Virginia will be held at Williams' Grove on Thursday, August nun. The prospects are tnat tiie attend ance will be greater than at any former gathering of this kind. The attractions will be music, vocal and instrumental by an Italian opera trope. Amos Swlcert of Franklin township. who wa9 cut in the left breast with a knife in the hands of William Geese, about two weeks ago, died on Sunday last from injuries received. Geese who had been arrested for the crime was released on bail a few days ago, but umcer nays, or uarnsie, re-arrested Geese on Sunday evening and placed him in the county jail. Geese is said to be a desperate cnaracter. The death of Samuel Doner, of Penn township, recorded in our notices, was occasioned by the kick of a colt. The colt had run away and had given Mr, Doner a lontr chase through the moun. tain before he captured it. When " se cured in the stable, he applied a shingle 10 us DacK witn a purpose to mgnten it more than to inflict severe punishment. and when about to run away, the colt kicked, striking him below the right breast and causing nis death as stated. Another bold robbery was perpetrated in this county on Monday night. The vnuAarnci nf Trvli r "Tlal frrVn-n-nrfu Art nA iviliuvuvu VA v Villi J--A IdUVU T ll nil U1U gentleman, In Monroe township, about a nine irom itoiung springs, was enter ed by two outlaws, completely ransack ed and robbed of $100 in money. The scoundrels effected an entrance by burst ing open the door, and seizing and tying Mr. Beltzhoover and his housekeeper. The latter succeeded in freeing herself and, escaping to a neignbor s gave the alarm. Assistance was promptly ren dered, but arriving at the house thev found the robbers had escaped, having cut up all the bedding in the search for booty. A final investigation of the condition cf the People's Union Bank. Newvile. was concluded last week and a report made to the stockholders on Saturday, That the Bank is in a deplorable oondi- tion is painfully evident. We have not at hand an exact statement of the assets and liapilities of the concern, bnt we are reliably informed that those owning stock whose property can be reached will not only lose their stock but a hun dred and fifty per cent. more. John Graham and H. C. Wagner were appoint ed to investigate tne exact condition and what they have reported is believed to be as correct as can be obtained, probably allowing a little margin for low estimates of property owned by the jianK. aiar. On Tuesday night about ten o'clock the stable on the Gilmore property on r.a.si Main street, was again set on nre, james a. wood burn and i-d. mcuan dish discovered the fire and extinguish ed it without creatine an alarm. Tbev then laid in wait for the return of the incendiary, but hearing or seeing noth lmr. thev went lit) street, when the cry of fire was given, and it was discovered that, uowers' livery stable had also been fired. This was also promptly extin guished. Messrs. Woodbum and Mo Candish attempted to capture a suspect ed individual wnom tney discovered near the stable, but he broke from their grasp, and could not afterwards be found at his home or in town. Ills run ning away Is a very suspicious circum stance. Two or his associates were arrested, but were discharged for want of conclusive evidence. It Is hoped sum- mary measures will be taKen Where guilt can be proven. NcwviUo Enterprise. All doubts in reeard to the erection of gas works In the Borongh of Shippens burg, for the manufacture of illumina ting gas, can be set aside. Mr. V. 1 . Koblnson, having the enterprise in charge, arrived on Tuesday, and on Thursday morning Bet a force of laborers at work to dig out the trenches for the foundation walls of the gas building. The site selected for the buildings and gas meter, has been purchased from Dr. 1). D. Hayes, and is located on Orange street, south of the Cumbei land Valley j can road rotation. Juniata County. We copy the follow ing from the Juniata county papers of last week. Samuel Strong and wife, residing near McAlisterville, left children at home last Wednesday, and went to visit friends. During their absence, about noon, when there was a nre in the cook- stove, the house took fire and was en tirely consumed with all its contents. On Wednesday evenlng.asMr. Creigb- ton Harris and Miss Coder, of Beale township, were crossing the railroad track at the station in Patterson, on their way home in a buggy, Mr. Harris acci-. dentally let one of the Bide lines drop out ot his hands, in his enorts to re cover It, the horse became frightened and started to run, and turning abruptly to one side upset the buggy off the smalt bridge at the side of the railroad, where by both occupants were so badly hurt that they were compelled to remain in town over night. The young lady was the worst hurt of the two. Their inju ries were dressed by Dr. Banks. Max Siegle, who robbed, or who wos one of the party that robbed Wlney's store at Kichfleld on Wednesday night, June 10th, 1878, escaped from jail on last Wednesday night. He was con fined in the northeast corner of the jail. A stone chimney passes through the southeast corner of the room named. When the jail was built, two-inch pine plank were placed against the chimney lengthwise from floor to ceiling, and lathed and plastered over. With a pen knife the prisoner cut away the plaster ing, lath and plank. The material from the opening he concealed in a paper flour bag that was in the room. Tjnder the pretense of a desire to paper his cell with newspaperese had obtained paste; the paste he used to conceal the hole that he was working through the hall, which he did by pasting paper over it in the day time. When he reached the stone chimney he worked a number of stones out of it, all of which he conceal ed in his bed. When the opening was large enough to admit him to the chim ney, he tied a bed cover to a stick, put the stick across the hole, on the inside of the room, and dropped the other end of the cover down the chimney,and then slid down the rope thus provided, to the room below, where the chimney opens into a fire-place. The key was in the room door that led to the outside of the jail to Third street, and Siegle unlocked the door and walked, and has not been heard of since. All My Accounts not settled by the 1st of September will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection. I will be absent for several-months upon a tour through the South West. During my abscence Dr. J. D. Shull will be located at Markel ville. J. L. Brtjbaker,M. D. County Price Current.
