There isoiiiy one way in wnicu money

raising only the best breeds and giving
them the best care. It is probable that
the low prices will discourage " many

Frightful Run Off. A frightful run oflT
occurred on Tuesday morning, which
may probably result in the loss of life.
The particulars are as follows : As the
horses attached to the Montgomery
House 'bus were leaving the depot, the
bit on one of the horses broke, Mr. Mc
Kinley, the proprietor, was driving and
Win, Finns, porter, seated Inside the
'bus. The horses started off at a furious
rate down King street, and running on
the pavement,Mr.McKinley was thrown
from his seat to the ground and seriously
injured, the extent of which we are un
able to learn at this tiire. He was pick
ed up, taken to the house of Mr. Scott
Flack, and from thence removed to the
hotel. Mr. Finns, in trying to get off,
was struck by the cart, hurled against a
lamp post, his head being badly cut, and
it is feared his skull cracked, and that
his injuries may prove fatal. He was
taken to his home. The horses ran on
to the end of King street before they
were checked. They escaped Injury.
The wheel of the 'bus was broken.
Franklin Repository.
How it Happened. Last week we notic
ed the fact that a brother of Dr. Ard's
was killed at Port Royal by the cars.
A correspondent sends us the following
particulars : About 9 o'clock on Friday
night Hiram Ard started to drive out to
his father's residence. The night was
very dark, and the horse he drove was a
spirited animal. By some means he
drove into an alley that crosses the rail
road by descending several stone steps,
and is intended only for travel on foot.
When he reached the stone steps his
horse stopped, but Mr. A. not knowing
the reason, it being very dark, forced
the animal forward. As the horse
jumped to the track the buggy was up
set, and the driver thrown out, and was
probably rendered insensible by the fall.
The horse ran up the rail road and was
shortly stopped by some person, who
at once searched for the driver. Before
they found him however, a freight train
came along, and if the engineer
saw the body on the track, he was un
able to stop his train till too late. Mr.
A. was terribly mutilated, his body
being cut in two. The deceased was a
young man generally liked, and his sad
fate cast a gloom over our town, while
his friends have the sympathy of all
who know them.
Footpads Attack and Rob a Citizen On
Monday evening, Mr. John Marks, a
resident of Chambersburg, was attack
ed, gagged and robbed of six hundred
arid fifty dollars. Mr. Marks is a cattle
dealer, and was out on this business.
Between 5 and 6 o'clock, as he was
driving along the Scotland road, near
the Cumberland Valley railroad, close
to a strip of woods, a man sprang out,
grabbed his horse and stopped it ; at the
same time two others jumped over the
fence, approached the buggy and de
manded his money. Refusing to com
ply, they dragged him from the buggy,
threw him down, gagged him, tying bin
bands behind bis back, and relieved him
of his pocket book, containing the
above amount. The horse was then
tied to the fence, when the highwaymen
fled towards Scotland. Mr. Marks made
bis way to Mr. Israel Sollenberger's res
idence near by, where, after kicking at
the door some time, he was admitted, re
leased from his thongs, and brought
home. The police force are using every
effort to ferret out these scoundrels, who
certainly deserve tho fullest penalty
the law can Inflict. Mrs. Marks offers
a regard of $50 for their arrest.

Cumberland County. We copy the fol
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week :
On Tuesday afternoon through the
drenching rain, a white woman, aged
about thirty and apparently a stranger
in town, drove through a street of Car
lisle in a no top buggy and as "drunk
as a lord." Her maudlin condition at
tracted the attention of our mischelvous
boys just being dismissed from school
who followed her with all the excite
ment of a circus in town. Officers Hays
and HaverHtlck gave chase, captured
her and took her before Justice Zinn,
where she utterly refused to give any
account of herself save that her hus
band was dead. She was committed to
prison for ten days to repent of her
degradation on a showery day in Decem
ber. On last Saturday the ticket office at
this depot was robbed of about thirteen
dollars in cash and an express package.
The robbery was committed while all
were absent a few minutes at dinner.
The robber gained entrance by forcing
one of the ticket windows. The news
of the robbery was telegraphed all along
the line as soon as it was found out. The
robber has not been caught yet although
lie was tracked down to the railroad
bridge known as Laughlln's from which
point he went across the fields in a
southerly direction. Ncwvillc Star.
Tho News says Mr. John Shade, of
Shippensburg, was thrown from a bug
gy last Saturday, by his horse taking
fright. His feet became entangled in
the lines and he was dragged a consid
erable distance, sustaining severe injur
ies. A steer owned by Mr. R. M. Stuart, of
Koutn Ailddleton township, was hurled
in a falling straw stack last week and
smothered. Singular to say, a dog beside
the animal was uninjured.
A FoBt-ofllee has been established at
Hayestown, this county, and William
H. Loose appointed postmaster.
Juniata County. We copy the follow.
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
On Sunday evening d week, just as
Kurtz Oberliolt.er and Mary Swanger
had seated themselves in a buggy to
drive from Locust Run church, the
horse frightened, became unmanageable.
ran, upset the buggy, and of course left
the occupants lying in the road. For
tunately they were not hurt beyond a
few bruises. To he O'Donnell caught
the runaway horse, not far from the
church.
Last Wednesday night thieves enter
ed the cellar of the residence of Elias
Horning, in Fermanagh township, and
and stole therefrom a demijohn of good
wine and two hams. They effected an
entrace to the cellar through a window.
They also visited the cellar of Solomon
Shirk, who lives not far from Horh
ing's. Their draft on Shirk's meat ves
sel was heavier than that made on
Homing's. Horning has a cane that
the thieves left.
January Magazines.
LiprixcoTT's Magazine for January,
beginning the new volume, has a varied

are three illustrated articles, a great va
riety of reading and many fine illustra
tions. The whole number Is bright and
thoroughly readable from beginning to
end. We notice that the publishers fur-
msh Tree to all new subscribers, in book
form, that portion of " Through Wind
ing Ways" that has appeared previous
to the issue of the January number.
Specimen copies 20 cents; Yearly sub
scription price, $4 00. Address J. B.
Lipnincott & Co., Publishers, 715 and

Avllou's Magazine for January is a
remarKaoie one, naving an excellent il
lustrated article on Australia, its people
and habits, animals and soil, which was
written by the author " The Uohl Hun

ries, poems, engravings, recipes, humor
ous matters, and all that goes to make
up a first-class magazine at a very low
price. Our readers cannot do better
than send ten cents for the January

It stands to reason that the book Is the oest, for
no lady would publicly endorse a receipt unless
It was the very best. Probably no Cook Book
lias met with as great xuccess. A rare book in
deed. Mrs. lieeelier sas :
"With It a cook of any degree of skill, or com
mon sense, can be safely ti uMed to cater for the
family. In the absence of thd mistress."
Chicago "Tribune" says : Mhould be the
adopted companion of every housekeeper."
Booksellers say: " It Is the best soiling book."
