Letter B. ThVown from a Horse. On Saturday evening a son of John Stone, of Wheat field twp., started to Dellville on horse back. Subsequently the animal was found beside the road without a rider, and a search for the boy resulted in find ing him nearly a mile distant in an in sensible condition, he having been thrown from the horse. On Sunday evening the lad was still alive, but re mains unconscious. The doctor says concussion of the brain Is the trouble and the probabilities are that it will re sult fatally. , , Sudden Death. After a part of our edi tion wa9 printed last Monday we received a dispatch saying that " George Brown, of Newport, had dropped dead in the streets of that place." This was printed in the balance of our papers. It seems. however, the account was not altogether correct. Mr. Brown was not feeling well, but had eaten his dinner and then passed Into a bed-room adjoining the dining-room. In a minute or so after wards his wife heard a call and hasten ed to him, but found him dead. He had been troubled with heart disease for several years. Run off. On Monday morning our friends J. B. Hartzell and D. H. Spotts started on a tour through the county selling tobacco, segars, &c. At Millers town they hitched their beast at Shu man Miller's Union Hotel. Being driven with a breast strap, no reins were used to hold up the animal's head. The flies being troublesome, the horse maneuvered about to get rid of them, and in the act slipped the bridle off his head and shot away lively, down Sun bury street to an alley, out the alley to Bridge street, where Adg and a tramp stopped him. In making the turn the buggy was upset and up again almost in the very same breath, but the top was smashed, the box broken and other wise damaged in the fracas. Neivport News. Charged with Horse Stealing. The readers of the Patriot will probably re member the arrest of one Israel Fox, a little over two years ago, for stealing a horse and buggy in the lower end of the county, and of his having been shot, at Lebanon, by officer Riley Ringler,whlle attempting to escape after having jumped out of the buggy on the streets of that place, and endeavoring to make his escape. Fox, after being wounded, was secured, placed in the Lebanon jail, ftnd we have been informed was tried in that county for other acts of crooked- ness and sent to the eastern penitentiary for two years and two months. He was only recently released from the peniten tiary. Last evening he was again ar rested 1sy Detectives Abe Roat and Reese, of Mayor Patterson's force.charg ed with the larceny of horses, and was committed by Mayor Patterson to the county prison for a hearing. Fox had two horses in his possession, but from where they were stolen the reporter could not learn last evening. Harris burg Patriot of the 11th inst. ; Farm Bells.

The regular Sep tember Term of Court hiet on the loth inst., and the following proceedings were! had: Tuesday, September 10th, was tho regular Boptember Term of the Orphans' and Argu ment Courts, in addition to the business In cident to this particular term, a Jury which had been selected nt the August Court to try the case of Francis Gibson vs. I). M. Rlne smlth, wereall In attendance and after being called and sworn, took their scats with calm deliberation to hear the tedious, though not voluminous evldctce which was to be produc ed. The action arose out of the following circumstances ! In the spring of the year, 1873, D. M. KlnesmUti, who was then the BherllT of Perry county, purchased a farm of Frank Gibson In Bprlng twp., and In the suc ceeding month of August he also purchased a tract of woodland, the consideration for both being the sum of 17,770. No article of agree ment or other Instrument of writing exocptthe deed of conveyance passed between the par ties, the understanding and agreement being that the purchase-money should be applied to the extinguishment of liens that then existed upon the said real estate. Certain of these liens never having been satisfied Gibson com plained that the verbal contract had not been carried out, while Rlnesmlth alleged that the mouey had been paid, but the proper credits hud not been given nor satisfaction entered as It should have been done. This involved tlio evidence of counsel for certain of the lien of creditors and gave the testimony a very contradictory character. After the elaborate arguments of the counsel, the case closed on Wednesday evening. On Thursday morning instead of charging the jury Judge Junkin In structed them that owing to the peculiar turn the case had taken, the standing of certain Judgments In favor of the Perry County Bank, In which he was an Interested party, would be atfected and Judicial rectitude, forbnde blra Instructing the Jury upon a question In which he had an interest, however, remote. Accord ingly ho directed a Juror to be withdrawn and the case dismissed. Injustice to Judge Jun kin It should be said that he objected to trying the case and endeavored to procure another judge for the purpose, but upon the failure to secure one, at the request of both sides repre senting the difllcuity to be probably only one of law, he agreed to hear the case, and when the appearance of Individual Interest was man ifested by the testimony, although both parties had Implicit faith in his holding the scales of justice even, yet he would not do a Judicial act that might sustain a taint of suspicion. ARGUMENT LIST. The first cases taken up were a batch of forty-three Cortloraris which removed the pro ceedings of as many cases from the Docket of VV. W. Farnsworth, Esq. The dcPts. were all employees of the R. R. Company, and were ar rested for a violation of the Babbath by doing worldly employment for the Company. The record of the Justice' was defective and for this reason the cases were all reversed. 8. E. Beiler, Administrator of R. IT. Boiler, dee'd., vs. Caroline Rupp was a Rule to show cause why a judgment should not be opened on the grounds of Coverture, deft, having been a married woman at the time the judgment was given. Rule made absolute. Daulel Rife vs. Geo. V. Crossley was a Rule to show cause why a foreign attachment should not be quashed. Deft, removed from this State to Kansas, leaving a claim due him for labor In this county upon which pl'tf; Issued a Foreign Attachment on the gronnds that now being a resident of a different Btate, the law of Penn sylvania securing wages of labor from Attach ment could not apply to him. Argued and held under advisement. T. P. Devor vs. Geo. D. Roblnsod was a Rule to show cause why a stay of execution taken by the defl't. upon a judgment recovered on a recognizance In the Orphans' Court Bhould not be dissolved. Argued and the stay of execu tion dissolved. Bchwartz and MansbacU vs. Wm. Eepner was a case In which an execution was issued by pl'ft. upon a judgment against the deft., and the whole fund raised by the Sheriff wag claimed by the landlord, Edward Harper, for rent. After argument the money raised upon the execution was directed to be applied to the payment of rent due the landlord. The last case argued was the rule upon the Ofilcers of the MaryBvllle Building Associa tion to show cause why a peremptory manda mus should not issue compelling them to affix the seal of the Corporation to a petition of cer tain stockholders asking the Court for a decree of dissolution of the association. The petition was prepared by a majority of a meeting of the stockholders, but the officers who opposed a dissolution refused to affix the seal as requir ed by Act of Assembly, and the object of the writ of mandamus waB to compel them to obey the will of the majority. Argued and held over by the Court. MISCEtLANEOVS BUSIKBSS IK COMMON PLEAS.

The following Is an abstract of the proceed ings had at the B. B. Convention held In this place last week In compliance with the call of the Superin tendent appointed by Zlon's Classis to organ ize a Reformed Sunday School Convention In Perry county, the pastors and delegates of the schools In their respective charges convened on Tuesday evening, Bept. 10th, 1878, at 7 o'clock, In Trinity Reformed Church of New Bloom Held. The Convention was opened with reli- flous services, afterwblch.it fully organized y electing F. S. Llndaman, Rec. Bee, and Geo. Hoobaugh, Treas., Rev. U. H. Hellman Is President by virtue of bis classical appoint ment. The following subjects were warmly and ably discussed during the Convention : 1st. The natnre and object of the S. B., and Its relation to the congregation. Opened by Rev. W. II. Herbert. 2nd. The methods In the use of which this object may be best attained. Opened by Rev. F. 8. Llndaman. 3rd. The means in the use of which the B. 8. may secure the most competent teachers. Opened by Rev. U. A. Hellman. The following Is the sense of this Conven tion with reference to the above question i Reiolved, That in the opinion of this Con vention, the best method to secure efficient and faithful Superintendent and teachers for the B. 8., requires that these officers should be care fully appointed by tho consistory of the con gregation. 4th. The relation which tho 8. 8. ought to sustain to the catechetical class. Opened by Rev. B. Kretzlng. The committee appointed to prepare a sum mary of the several subjects discussed, report as follows t 1st, The Sunday School Is not a secular school designed to give instruction In spelling, reading and the like, but a spiritual school designed to quicken and nourish spiritual life. Its object Is tlie salvation of children In Cln;lst. It Is not a church along side of the congregation, but an Integral part of the congregation, and should be in organic union with It. 2nd, The methods by which this object can best be attained require superintendents and teachers in regular connection with the church, full of love to Christ and the children, Intelligent and apt to teach men and women who feel the necessity of preparation for this work, and who afterward prayerfully rely in the help of the Holy Spirit. They need attractive rooms, good music, and a systematic orderof lessons as well as the most hearty co operation of the entire congrega tion. , . 3rd , The means to secure the best teachers consist chiefly lu a good ..teachers' meeting, a teachers' library and a proper selection of teach ers of piety and intelligence, age and experience. 4th. The relation of the Sunday School to the catechetical class is one of a- lower or primary, but highly necessary form of Instruction to a higher, more systematic and comprehensive in doctrination with the one vie of lull living memhershipln the church of Christ. Respectfully submitted, J. KKKTKINU. W. H. HKKBKRT,' J. KKOWN1TELTER. The report was unanimously adopted. The convention adjourned to meet again in St. Peters congregation of the Landisburg charge, on Monday, November 4th, 1878, at 7 P. M. F. S. LINDAMAN, Kec. Sec. Blain, Sept. 13, 1878. For The Times.

'; Duncannon, September 1st, 1878. ' The following article, in The Times of the 3rd inst., brief as it is, is worth more than columns of stories or locals of small import : . , v ( "In Mant parts of the State a strong feeling of dissatisfaction exists regarding the law which legalizes the otlloe of County Superintendent. The proposition Is made by some, that the abol ishment of that ofltce shall be made an Issue In the next election for members of the legislature. There is no doubt that the otlloe has outlived Its day of usefulness, and that the duties now dele gated to that ofllclal could be more satisfatorlly performed at one fourth of Ihe expense." How many pause, in the midst of the political whirl, to ask what this or that costs V This one little "Flesh Pot" cosM.tll State of Ponnpylvanlft.wltbnut) Philadelphia, the snug sum of $10,7o2. This Is a calculation from figures found in " Smull's Legislative Hand Book" of 1877. It must be remembered, also, that the salaries In most of the Bounties have been raised. When we look at the money thus mUdlrected, we cannot wonder that " a strong feeling of dissatisfaction exists regarding the law which legalizes the office of County Superintendent." It Is wise to revive the question of Abo lition. We think the ofllee can easily be dispensed with, and at the same time, Behoofs be as well protected as with the County Superintendent.

By cutting a hole In the floor of his cell he got Into the cellar, and from thence into the yard. Here he lifted a plank, walk, (which some say three ordinary men could hardly have lifted), and, set ting it against the jail wall, climbed over and landed on McClintic's shed, from whence escape was easy. On Thursday a week, the lightning struck the born of John Musser, near McAlisterville. The fluid was caught by the rod at one end of the barn which melted the point then run the length of the barn passing two other points and went down at the opposite end of the barn from where it struck into the ground. The stroke ' knocked down two horses in the stable; they -were lying when Mr. Musser came to the barn to see what damage bad been done.' His son Thaddeus, who had been at the barn during the time, was so much affected that ne could not assist his father in relieving the horses. The escape of man and horses was miracu lous.

From last accounts he was suffer ing from lock-jaw. Isaac Wilson, a colored man of this place who has been in the employ of Dr. John Ahl for a number of years, was killed by an excursion train east on Tuesday night last, about ten o'clock. Isaao had been intoxicated and was sleeping on the track a short distance east of the station. The engineer 'of the train did not notice htm in time to stop the train until about Ave cars had passed over him. He was terribly cut up, one leg being cut off above the knee and the other at the foot. He was removed to his residence, where he died some time after without regaining con sciousness. Isaac was highly esteemed by his comrades and all who knew him, and was not in the habit of drinking to excess; and this exceptional occasion cost him his life. He leaves a wife and five children.
