Our Libel Suit. We have captured a
libel suit, and the history of the case is
as follows: We had our attention called
to an article in the Van Buren (Mo.)
Times which showed very plainly that
either some one in this vicinity was
trying to swindle the people, or else that
paper was telling what was not true.
For the Information of the publio we
copied the article, not knowing whether
such a fellow as Crist lived or whether
it was an assumed name. It seems he
does actually live at Marysvllle, and was
so much pleased with us for publishing
the article that he proposes to give us
some notoriety by commencing pro
ceedings against us for libel. The arti
cle which the land speculator took of
fence at was also published in the Har
riBburg Telegraph with the annexed
few lines which we give as being of
interest in this connection :
From the HarrlBburg " Telegraph."
A Teleguaiui reporter started out
this morning in search of information
on the subject. Mr. Fleming, as notary
public, takes affidavits every day and it
was hardly expected that he Bhould re
member every one, but after reading the
extract he said he remembered John
Crist very well; that he resided In
Marysville, Perry county, and was a
dealer in Western lands. " He came
here," said Mr. Fleming, "some two
years ago, and wanted to sell me lots In
Christy City, and exhibited a plan, got
ten up in a gorgeous manner, of the city
laid out in lots, situated on the bank of
a river. I did not purchase. Subse
quently he wanted me to write him an
affidavit to the effect that the deed for
his land Is recorded at Van Buren, Mis
souri, worded in such a way as to leave
the impression that the plan of lots was
on record. This I refused to do, as he bad
previously shown me a letter from the
clerk saying that there was no plan of
lots recorded, and that there was no
river near Christy City." Subsequent
ly Crist returned to Mr. Fleming with
an affidavit which he swore to. The
map Crist exhibited had a river running
by Christy City, and when' Mr. F. called
Crist's attention to it and the Clerk's
letter saying that it not exist, Crist
coolly cut off' that part of the map con
taining the river. Some of the lots
have been sold to parties in Harrisburg
and Baldwin. Crist no doubt owns
land in Missouri, but there must be
something wrong about that c'ty. We
give the whole affair for what it is
worth,and if there are any lot holders in
this city who are anxious about their
money they can write and ascertain
where the city is located.the Van Buren
Times no doubt quits willingly furnish
ing the information.
As a part of this proceeding we will
further note that we had a call from a
very pleasant gentleman named Gam
ber, who had with him a warrant which
commanded him to bring the body of
F. Mortimer before his Honor, Theoph.
ilu8 Fenu, of Marysville. Though Mr.
Gamberls very much of a gentleman,
and a ride with him at ordinary times
would afford us much pleasure, we de
clined on this occasion, preferring to
give ball before Esquire Clouser to ap
pear when wanted. Any further de
velopments In this case will be placed
on record as they occur. We will also
give the publio all the information we
can obtain regarding Christy City, as
we have taken steps to get thoroughly
posted on that subject.
Barn Burned. On Thursday evening,
September 4th,the barn of Cyrus Ferree,
In Liverpool township, near the borough
line, was destroyed by fire, together with
the contents. The Insurance more than
covers the loss. The cause of the fire is
unknown.
Died of Lock-Jaw. Henry Derr, of
Liverpool, cut himself recently on the
knee with a hatchet, and died on his
father's boat, near Havre de Grace. He
was aged about 20 years, and was much
esteemed. He was prominent as a Sun
day school worker, and his death Is deep
ly, regretted by a large circle of friends
and acquaintances. Democrat.
)Run Off. On Monday of last week
Emanuel Wagoner In driving out to
Keudig's peach orchard in Savllle town
ship, had some exciting experience with
his team of two mules. The lines broke,
and the animals ran away, safely pass
ing another vehicle. The animals were
finally stopped, no damage having been
done, except to badly scare two young
ladies who were in the vehicle.
August Weather Report. B. Mclntlre,
E9q., hands us the following report of
the weather for the month of August,
1870:' Average of thermometer at 8
o'clock A. M., 64 4', and of barometer
30 Inches minus O tenth. Average of
greatest heat 77 27', and of cold 00 68'.
There fell 7 inches of rain. Monday
the 4th, was the warmest day, the ther
mometer registering 85, and Sunday
the 10th the coldest, the mercury sink
ing to 483. More rain fell this August
than there has fallen in same month for
several years past.
Lamp Explosion. On Thursday night,
Mr. Abe Orwan, cf this place, was
awakened to find a lamp that stood
near the bed had exploded, and the oil
was in full blaze. Fortunately the
quantity of oil in the lamp was small
and he succeeded in smothering the
flames with a felt skirt. The side of the
lamp had blown out. This is probably
the result of burning a lamp turned
down too low. The nearer a lamp is
full the safer it is, and a -lamp should
never be left burning unless the wick is
turned up so there is no smell to the
lamp.
Not So. Some papers are publishing
the following law. No such law was
passed.
A law enacted at the last session of the
legislature, provides that no quail shall be
shot within the limits of this State from
November 1st, 1879. This law was en
acted in response to an urgent call from
sportsmen, because of the growing
scarcity of this species of game, caused
by the ravages of persons who have no
regard for the game law. A heavy
penalty is inflicted for Its violation, and
we should like to see it enforced.

No drunkenness, no profanity, no disorder of any
kind, such us used to be seen at such places.
One of the things worthy of note is the vast
amount of good eatings spread out in every di
rection. Surely a grand ami sumptuous table
was spread here In the wilderness, and right well
did the people enjoy these Rood things or earth,
nor were those who prepared those tilings satis
tied to enjoy them alone, all seemed eager to In
vite others to enjoy their hospitality. Monday

Cumberland County. We copy the fol
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week :
A little son of A. B. Neisley, of North
Middleton township, met with a severe
accident on Thursday last. He was
plowing in the stubbles, when the plow
fell on him, the shire cutting his leg
into the bone, producing a very severe
wound.
The Carlisle "Volunteer gives the
following graphic account of a bull fight
which took place recently ; The other
Saturday when David Vogelsong, of
Silver Spring township, turned his cat
tle out to water they strayed along up
the creek, until opposite Joseph E.
Musser's pasture field. Mr. Musser's
bull being of a bellicose disposition,
broke through the fence and challenged
Mr. V.'s bull for a fight which the latter
accepted. At it they went taking the
creek for their battle ground and when
the fight was finished Mr. Musser was
minus a forty dollar bull.
While the heirs of Mr. George Baker,
residing one mile east of town, were
engaged, on Tuesday forenoon, in
threshing oats, and just as one of the
hands, Mr. Jesse IMchwine, bad quit
feeding lor the purpose of changing the
strap from the cylinder to the shaker,
the cylinder bu rated, scattering frag
ments in every direction. The cylinder
was closed at the ends, and it is suppos
ed that it was the confined air, with the
greater velocity of the machine while
running empty, that caused the accident.
The parties in the barn made a lucky
escape. This accident should serve as a
caution to workmen, and teach a lesson
to manufacturers. Carlisle Sentinel.
On Monday last a son of David Nel
digh, of Mifflin twp., aged 11 years, left
his home soon after dinner to go to a
field where a hand was at work. He
Btayed there a short time and then start
ed for home. At supper time when the
hand returned from tbe field he was
asked about the boy, when he gave the
information that the boy had left
the field for home some time in the
afternoon. Mr. Neldigh and wife were
in this place transacting business, and
nothlnglwas done in the matter until
the arrival of the parents In the evening,
when they were told of the occurrence.
The parents became alarmed and search
was made for the boy. He was found in
a meadow, a short distance from the
house, dead. On Tuesday Dr. W. O.
Stewart was seut for and held a post
mortem examination and found that the
right lobe of the liver was ruptured
which caused death. There were several
bruises on his head, breast and right
side. The supposition is that the boy
on his way home had climbed up a tree
to get some fox grapes and had fallen
down, as the tree stood near where he
was found. Squire Moflet was sent for
who came and empanneled a jury and
they rendered a verdict in accordance
with the above facts. Enterprise.
