George Brown, of Newport, fell dead at about 1 o'clock 1 M. to-dny (Mon day), at the above named place. The dry weather makes plowing al most impossible, and greatly retards the farmers In their fall seeding. The M. E. Church at Blaln will be re opened next Sunday the 15th inst. Preaching at 10:30 A. M., and adminis tration of the Lord's Bupper. M. C. 1'ii'KR, Tastor. The Town Council is having good cross-walks placed at various points where they are needed. There are now few places of the size of Bloomfiold bet ter provided with side walks and crossing. On Thursday last, just as Mr. Samuel Vitherow, of Centre two., turned on power to his cider press, the drum burst, completely demolishing it, fortunately doing no damage to any person, lie has It again in working order. On Monday evening Edward Beard, of Centre township, got the second lin ger of his left hand in the cogs of a cider press, tearing off the nail and mashing the bone at the end of his linger. On Thursday night, the 20th ult., the Bummer house of Mr. William W: Do Lancy, of Baville township, with all its contents, valued at about $300, was en tirely consumed by fire. No insurance. The fire was supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Alfred Carl, of Marysville, has a cab bage grown on his premises consisting of fifty-nine small but perfectly formed heads, each head having a separate heart and outside leaf coverings. The seed was of his own raising and was noth ing more than common stock. Mr. C. cays he has three or four heads of a like kind growing, which are a perfect curi osity. Mr. George Barnett of Bloomflcld will speak on the "Noarcian Deluge" at the picnic in Little Germany next Bat., Dr. Sweeney will sneak on Temperance, and John Bower or Bridgeport, on poli tics. The Bloomfleld Band will fur nish music for the society and John Kice will furnish freeh cider, apples, peaches, pears, grapes, and other huck sters can have permission to sell by pay ing fifty cents to the Bloomfleld Band. The picnic will be held in the. Pine grove near the old stone church. iJ Removal. We shall move to our new office on the opposite side of the street on Thursday of this week. Should every thing go right we will issue our next paper on our usual day, but should any accident or breakage occur, we might be compelled to miss one edition. Printers' Picnle. The Printers' Picnic held at the picnic grounds at Loydsville on Saturday last, was a decided success. There were between nine and ten hun dred persons present. The committee of arrangements are entitled to great credit, and the Printers are under great obligations to the railroads for their kindness. It Is an occasion that will be long remembered by those fortunate enough to be present. Five hands of this office were there, and enjoyed them selves exceedingly. Through a press of business we were unable to be present. Snake Bitten. Mr. Charles McKeehan of Centre twp., while raising a stone on Saturday last, was bitten In the finger by a Copperhead. He hastened to the doctor's and got Immediate aid which prevented any serious consequences.but his hand and arm are yet badly swollen. A Hoggish Trick. On Monday morn ing of last week, Mr. P. McNemar, of Centre township, missed oneof his hogs, one that was nice and fat. A short search for the animal brought to light the astonishing fact that some one had taken it into a field above the house and had killed and dressed It leav ing only the entrails to thow what had been done. A more astonishing piece of ihiev ing we never recorded. .'. Weather Report. B. Mclntire, Esq., hand i us the following report of the wtth er for the month of August : Average of Thermometer at 8 o'clock A. M., 67 ; of Barometer, SO Inches minus 0-tentlis. , Average of greatest de gree of heat, 70 2.V, and of cold, u7 40'. There fell 5 Inches and 1 -tenth of rain. The warmest day was Monday the 6th, the Thermometer running up to 80atid Thursday the 20th the coldest, the mer cury sinking to 60. Struck by Lightning. A correspondent Writes us the following : ' During tiie thunder storm Thursday afternoon the barn of Mr. Jtobert Holmes, near King's mill, was struck by lightning and the barn with all its contents was rooii consumed. The con tents were, his whole crop (his wheat partly threshed), two horses, wagons, harness, Ac. Tho building was new. Three hundred dollars of insurance. One of the horses was lying In the manger dead before the fire reached It. This would seem to indicate the fact that the bolt struck the animal, killing it instantly. The loss leaves Mr. H., who is an Industrious, enterprising farmer in a very bad way. He most certainly is entitled to the substantial sympathy of the entire community. Not a horse now to begin with, not a strap of har ness, farming implements all gone. The thunder during the storm was most ter rellc. Peal alter peal, till the earth seemed to tremble. The lightning, how ever, was not so severe as It Is some times. The rain fall was light. Another Fire. On Wednesday night the house and barn belonging to Samuel Fry in llaccoon Valley, were both en tirely consumed with the contents. The family were away at camp meeting, and the only way the fire could have occur red was by an Incendiary. There was a small insurance on the property. Greenback Convention. On Monday of last week the delegates elected to repre sent this party in Convention, met at the Court House, in this borough, at 11 o'clock A. M. Mr. Samuel Okeson, of Landlslmrg, was elected President ; and Prof, H. B. Zimmerman, of Newport,was appointed Secretary. Delegates as follows were present : Penn James P. Long, Ramsey Col stock. Buffalo Samuel Balr, Henry Haines. Newport II. B. Zimmerman, It. M. English. Landisburg Samuel Okeson, Daniel Zerflng. Spring Dr. Wm. Hays, John A. Bower. Centre Andrew Shuman. Ityt Henry Foulk. The Congressional Conferees of Perry county were Instructed to vote for Mr. John A. Bower, of Perry county, for Congress, Mr. C. C. North, of Hunting don, having, by letter read In Conven tion, tendered him the conferees of Huntingdon. , By vote of Convention, Prof. II. B. Zimmerman, of Newport, was made permanent Chairman of the Greenback County Committee for the ensuing year. , The following ticket was nominated: Assembly Geo. W. Garber, of Blaln. Register, fcc. Prof. H. B. Zimmer man, of Newport, after Mr. James P. Long, of Penn, had declined. Treasurer John llaflensberger, of Centre. 1 County Commissioners Stephen liosh, of Spring, and Samuel Bair, of Buffalo. Director of Poor John S. Demaree.of Newport. Auditors John W. Huston, Carroll, and Samuel Okeson, Landisburg. On motion of John A. Bower, the Convention resolved to make no nom ination tor District Attorney. The resolutions adopted by the meet ing are as follows : Whereas, We, the representatives of the National-Greenback-Labor party of Perry county, meeting in Convention, September 2nd, 1878, do hereby resolve, 1st. That the U. S. Bonds, of what series or issue whatsoever, shall be paid in greenbacks, which Congress shall make a full legal-tender lawful, absolute money. 2nd. That Congress shall not under any circumstances authorize the Issuing of any more bonds of any description whatever, for it has the absolute pow er and sole right to create all money for every demand upon the Govern ment. 3rd. That the bonds shall be redeemed as soon and as rapidly as possible by this legal tender greenback creation of the law. 4th. That the General Government alone can issue money, and this for the benefit of all, and not to, through, or for the enrichment of the national bankers. 6th. That we demand the immediate re peal of the so-called resumption act. Cth. That we disclaim any smypathy with communism, and condem n an lawlessness and violence of any and all classes. 7th. That we demand the immediate repeal of the national banking sys tem . 8th. That all property of whatever kind should be equally taxed. . 0th. That the price of labor has been greatly reduced, as well as all products of labor, while taxation is on the in crease, we demand that the salaries of all public officers are unreasonably high and should be reduced in propor tion to the labor performed. . Duncannoi Items. A correspondent from Duncannon sends the following : Scarlet Fever seems to prevail to a great extent in and around Duncannon. Chills are abundant : quinine is in de mand, i. One more black ey from fighting whether Inside or out of town, deponent galth not. The works run about i time, making about dull times here. TheU. B. Church has had a meeting In progress the last five weeks had one case of trance; one of pocket-picking, and a number of reported conversions. Jn regard to the pocket picking, the par ticulars are about these! A young man missed his pocket-book, he charged the young man by his side Willi having taken it, lie, of course denied. In a few days he found some bills (as $1 and $2) spent, one for whisky, and another for flour these the loser presented to the finder, demanding at the same time, his pocket-book. Mniler owned having taken It, and said he burned it together with papers, &c, except money. The young scamp, I beilove, has left town. Mrs. Basklus whose death notice I en close was Insured In the U. B. M., for $4000. This certainly is one good way to prevent our friends' death being all gain to them, while It Is all loss to us. J. J. K. Cumberland County. We copy the fol lowing from the Cumberland county pnpers of last week: A valuable horse was stolen from the stable of Geo. Mowers, In Southampton township, one night last week. The animal has since been recovered. An excursion to Ellis, Kansas, and re turn, will leave Carlisle and all points on the Cumberland Valley Railroad on Tuesday, October 8th, 1878. Ira. son of Mr. Levi Rudy, of South Midilleton twp., was recently kicked in the face by a young colt atid sustained severe flesh inuries. A cabbage stalk with thirty-nix small heads on it was by no means a small cu riosity in the garden of Col. W. Noaker recently. The Entcrprtec says : Samuel Shop well, a young blacksmith of Newvllle, on Tuesday evening took a dose of Paris green in mistake for Hour sulphur. The large size of the dose saved him, but he was severely sick during the night. On Monday last, as the widow1 of James Kelso was driving on the Wal nut Bottom road, a bolt holding the shafts dropped out, the shafts dropping down and frightening the horse so that he started to run, Mrs. Kelso was not able to hold the horse, and Jumped from the rear of the vehicle, falling and re ceiving a severe fracture of the juw bone and other bruises. Juniata County. We copy the follow ing from the Juniata county papers of last week. John Wagner, of Mifflin, lost a valua ble cow last Saturday night. It choked to death on an apple. Thieves visited the hen nnd turkey roost of Solomon Beshore, In Fer managh twp., one night last week, and stole therefrom a lot of poultry. A Greenback club has been organized In Susquehanna township and now numbers twenty.flve members. It is reported they are increasing there to alarming extent. The dwelling house of Catharine Kurtz, in Kurtz Valley, this county, was entered by thieves one night last week, but before any property wos stolen the thieves were discovered, but, unfor tunately, escaped before they were cap tured. Mrs. Sponhauer,of Fayette township, last week, while trying to wait on her husband who was sick fell down stairs, and, except an ugly bruise on the fore head, escaped unhurt. What seems miraculous about it is that the old lady is about eighty-seven years of age, and her husband is equally as old. They have been married over Blxty years. On last Friday night the store of Winey and Custer, at East Salem, this county, was entered by a thief or thieves. There is a covered porch or portico In front of the store.' The scoundrels who entered the place climbed a locust tree that stands In front of the building, and from the tree stepped onto the roof of the portico, on which they could stand and work, unseen, at opening a window in the second story of the house. Arrest of a Car Robber. Probably two weeks ago mention was' made in our local columns of the fact that while a party of three men were in the act of robbing a freight car of the Northern Central railway company on the siding above the round house at Bridgeport, that the robbers were surprised and in attempting to run away one of them was shot In the leg nnd was captured by Mr. Hammll, a night dispatcher. The fellow, after having been taken to the company's office, at Bridgeport, and while awaiting an officer sent across the river on a special engine, managed to make his escape while Mr. Hammll had his back turned to attend to the duties of his position. From the description given to Detectives S. J. Anderson and Abram Roat, of this city, they conclud ed (and correctly, too), that the escaped man was no other than Murray Cox, a notorious young man who has figured in police circles for several years past. Nothing was known of Cox's where abouts until Saturday morning. While detectives Anderson and Roat were walking along Market street they ob served two small boys wheeling a box towards to Adams . express office, and that the address on the box read " Mur ray Cox, Berwick, Pa." Here was a clue that led directly to the hiding place of the game and the de tectives taking advantage of the fact, immediately wrote (and telegraphed) to the authorities at Berwick to " shadow" the man who would apply at the express office in that place for the box, and ask ing, In case of arrest, to state Immedi ately whether the person who called for It had a bullet wound In one of his legs. The answer cams on Monday to the de tectives that Cox had Wen arrested, and that he had A bullet wound on one of his logs. Detectives Abram and Roat left at 4.20 this morning, for Berwick, to bring Cox on and place him In the hands of the authorities of Cumberland county. Patriot of the fith ult.
