CGeo. B. Sheaffer of Saville twp., kill- J
ed a hog last week which weighed 618 I
pounds. Vl
OThe farm of Geo. Bwartz, situate just '
above tins place, was sold ny the As
signee at public sale on Thursday last to
George Hoobaugh for $10,000. X
The hog committee of this borough
lias not paid much attention to business
' this fall. Perhaps that is the reason
there are so few brag hogs reported. h

An exchange out West is blowing
about a man who can heal the sick by
the laying on of hands. We have
men in the East who can raise thedead,
and in the case of Stewart, for instance,
he had been dead over two years.
A farmer of Carroll county, Md. , is
feeding his wheat crop of 1877 consisting
of over 2,000 bushels, after being chop
ped to his fattening steers. Had he sold
it in the fall of 1877 he would have had
$200 clear gain and the interest of $2,000
for the year.
s A horse belonging to Samuel Carl, of ,
Juniavv twp., broke out ot a stable in
Port lioyal, on the night of the 26th
I ult., and strayed away. The owner,
whose post office address is Markelvllle,
would like information regarding the'
nnimal.
Mr. M. B. Clouser tried the experiment
of feeding pie to the tramp who broke
i in the windows of his house. We think
I Bentzel's plan however was really the
most pious way of treating such a scamp.
Lead would be a better filling than pie,
if It was properly injected.
We call attention to the advertisement
of the Meriden Purchasing Co., and
from personal inquiries feel satisfied
that the firm is a reliable one. We con
sequently recommend the firm to our
readers. Parties wanting Catalogues
can send for them to Meriden, or can
get them of us.
Now is Your Time. The balance of the

Q Got More Than he Wanted. On Tuesday
last a tramp who was accompanied by a
' woman, made application to a Justice in
this place for committal to jail. This re
quest was refused which caused the
man to threaten to do something that
would cause an arrest, and a committal.
The couple then went around for several
hours, insulting persons, and making
themselves a general nuisance. This
did not bring them the desired arrrest,
so the fellow broke a window in the
bouse of M. B. Clouser. And yet the
couple were not happy for no arrest was
made. The man then came up town,
and while crossing the square picked
up a brick, which he hurled through a
window in the residence of Henry
Bentzel. On the inside were two children
playing on the floor, and the brick
struck between them, fortunately doing
them no damage. The sash and glass was
sadly demoralized. Mr. Bentzel seized a
club and went for the tramp in a man
ner that astonished him, giving him
what he needed but did not want a
thorough beating. The coJple were
subsequently arrested and committed to
jail for fifteen hours. So he got his de
sire, but be took a sore bead into jail
with him.
A Strange Birth Place, n Peculiar Case.
On Tuesday last a young woman was
put on the mail trnin at Newport by an
old man, and placed in charge of the
conductor. She had a through ticket to
Decatur, 111., near which place she says
her father resides. When near Altoona
the conductor missed his passenger, and
upon inquiring about her was told that
she had been in the saloon for nearly an
hour. On looking there for her he found
her behind the door, while blood was
freely distributed on the seat and floor.
The circumstances were very suspicious
and the matter was reported to the train
master on arrival at Altoona. Shortly
after the train had left word was brought
that the nude body of an infant had
been picked up Just after the mail train
hadpassed. The child was alive when
found but lived only a few mlnutesafter
ward. The woman was arrested when
the train reached Pittsburgh, and
brought back to Altoona, where upon
examination, the girl gave her name as
Catherine Hofiman, and acknowledged
that she had given birth to the child.
She refused to tell who the father of the
child was but afterwards stated that one
night in returning from a grocery store
near Liverpool, Perry county, she was
attacked by an unknown man, taken
into the woods and seduced. She also
told Mr. Jones, an employee of the rail
road company, that the child was born
in the saloon and that she threw it down
the opening in the water closet, not
knowing whether it was dead or alive.
It was a strange proceeding to bring the
girl back to Altoona, instead of properly
caring for her at Tittsburg, and the pro
ceeding is not very creditable to the
persons who had management of the
case. The jury of Inquest decided that
the child had come to its death by the
hands of its mother, and she was detain
ed in custody.
On further inquiry into the matter
we learn that the girl is a daughter of
Jesse Hofiman, residing in Macon coun
ty, 111., but has lived for about 8 years
past with her uncle Samuel Hoffman,
near Liverpool, till a few months since
when she went to live with a man nam
ed Seaver. These parties had sent the
girl to her father against his request,
and unknown to other relatives. The
girl is very ignorant having never had
any schooling, and is evidently moreen
titled to pity than to blame.
Curiosity of Crime. An important
case was argued before the Board of
Pardons on Tuesday. Last winter a
man and wife, aged between 65 and 70
years, and residing in an old cabin on
the side of the mountain in Snyder
county, were brutally murdered and
robbed of several thousand dollars.
They are supposed to have first been
shot, after which the bouse was set on
fire and their bodies committed to the
flames. Suspicion pointed the guilt to
several disreputable fellows in the neigh
borhood, but the evidence was not
sufficient to hold them. Subsequently
a girl made a statement to the effect that
she had witnessed the murder, and im
plicating several parlies In the crime.
Two men, named Moyer and Erb, were
arrested on the strength of these dis
closures. The girl's veracity not being
good, the authorities of Snyder county
have made application for the pardon
of the two men in the East Penitentia
ry, sentenced for larceny, but who are
said to have full knowledge of the mur
der, one of them having confessed to
his participation in it. The pardons
have been granted and both will appear
as witnesses against the accused.
Taming a Tramp. Mrs. Garman, a
lady who resides a short distance from
Linglestown, this county, while driving
home a few days since in company with
Miss Mary Blyer, of North street this
city, was stopped by a bold tramp in the
neighborhood of Manada Gap, who de
manded money. Mrs. G. told the bum
mer that if he went to a neighboring
farm house he would get all the food he
needed. The tramp stated emphatically
he did not want meals but money and
began to move toward that part of the
wagon in which the women were seated.
Mrs. Garman cooly taking in the situa
tion, bethought herself of a piece of
strategy. She said : "I have no money
about me, but can give you a piece of
neat jewelry instead will you have it?"
The tramp expressed a willingness to be
accommodated in that way and stopped
bis bold advances. Quick as thought
she pulled out of ber pocket a small
revolver, and pointed it at the tramp.
The tramp " wilted " at once, begged of
the heroic woman " not to shoot " be
was only in fun, and made off with a
whole hide on bis back, fast as bis legs
would carry bim, and was soon out of
sight. Harrinburg Patriot.
A Mean Trick. A man named Henry
Wharf, residing in Harrisburg, who is
employed as a painter at the Harrisburg
car manufactory, took bis dinner kettle
irom its usual place in the works on
Monday at dinner time, and began to
eat bis noon meal. While biting into a
small piece of meat, be tasted something
vile, and instantly ejected the food from
his mouth, not, however, before his lips
were severely burnt by a strong acid.
An examination of the kettle proved
that some villain had put vitriol on bis
food.
Juniata County. We copy the follow
ing from the Juninta county papers of
last week.
On Monday night the muslo and
Jewelry store of William II. ltollman,
on Main street, was entered by thieves.
The entrance was made by placing a
bidder against the east of the building,
close by a window, upon the shutters of
which the thieves proceeded to operate.
A hole was bored through the shutters,
through which the fastenings of the
shutters were unloosed. The sash was
forced open, and held up by an army
gun screw driver and wrench. A large
file or ranp, and a brace and bit, which
Jacob Sluutterback identified as his
property, and which thieves must have
taken out of bis blacksmith shop, was
left on the floor of the burglarized place.
As far as known, nothing of great val
ue was taken, and it is conjectured that
the thieves became alarmed and fled be
fore their designs had been carried out.

A hog of Briton Faslck's caught a
chicken on Monday, and forthwith pro
ceeded to devour the fowl ; but before
the bird was entirely eaten up the hog
choked, and a butcher was sent for, so
that the pork might not be lost. On
examining the hog's wind pipe, the
fact was revealed that the craw of the
chicken got into the wind-pipe of the
porcine and so nearly chocked it to
death, that then was the fittest time to
prepare it for sausage and so forth.
Cumberland County. We copy the fol
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week :
John C. Kupp, Esq., of Silver Spring
township, recently accompanied a party
of Perry county hunters. The result of
the two days' hunt was 240 partridges,
besides a number of pheasants and rab
bits. Widow Sadler, of East Tennsboro
township, Cumberland county, while
attending market at Harrisburg, on
Wednesday morning, had her pocket
book stolen from her dress pocket, while
at her stand in the lower market house.
The thief got about fifteen dollars the
proceeds of her sales of turkeys, butter
and eggs for that morning.
Last week, while the older members
of Mr. J. Herman Bosler's family were
in Philadelphia, one of the family neg
lected to turn the water off at a stationary
wash-stand, after using it. and retired
for the night. The water ran all night,
and by morning the parlor floor and ceil
ing and room above were completely
water-soaked. A number of paintings,
the carpet and other articles In the par
lor were damaged, and it is thought the
ceiling will have to be replaced.
The Shippeusburg News says: On
last Monday evening. about seven o'clock
a bright light in the direction of Clevers
burg, was plainly noticeable from this
borough, the cause of which was the
burning of a small dwelling house near
to the mountain. It was the work of an
incendiary, and was done for the pur-
f iose of keeping a family from occupying
t, who are in bad oder in that locality,
This is an effective way to get clear of
bad neighbors.
One day recently three ladleB from
Walnut Bottom visited Springfield,
with Wm. Morrow's horse and buggy,
leaving their team near the mill. When
about to take their departure, the horse
unceremoniously backed the buggy, its
occupants and himself into the dam.
The water is deep there as one of the
ladies found by measurement, and there
was no little excitement until all were
safely landed. It was certainly a cool
proceeding on the part of the horse, and
the result might have been more serious.
Mr. Davis Orris, of New Kingston,
had been slightly unwell for a few weeks
past, but on Saturday morning last he
went up to Mr. Fought's. several miles
from that village, to thresh. Every
thing went well until half-past ten
o'clock, when he had a stroke which
paralyzed his whole right side. He was
immediately removed home, but could
not recognize anybody or speak at all
until twelve o'clock that night; after
that hour he commenced speaking some
little, and on Sunday talked considerable
and identified his most intimate friends.
His condition is critical, but we hope
not necessarily fatal, for he is a man of
promise, a true gentleman, and a friend
of everybody.

An Old Lady With Ideas on Finance.
The broken Glasgow Banka had a
branch In a medium-sized town in the
North of Scotland, and to this branch
orders were telegraphed on the morn
ing of the failure to at once close the
doors. But in this town the post and
telegraph ofllce was presided over by a
canny old lady, who was assisted in the
latter duties by ber daughter. Accord
ingly, when the astounding missive ar
rived, and was being duly transferred to
writing, the old lady quickly put on ber
bonnet, went across to the bank a few
doors off and drew out the whole of
ber deposit. Five minutes later, she
was, with the rest of the little commu
nity, expressing her amazement at the
ominous words, " Bank closed."
