An Exchange tells this way of making
a cheap and true barometer : Put a small
quantity of finely pulverized alum in a

crystal ; but on the approach of rain or
bad weather, the alum will rise in the
center in the form of a spiral cloud,
which is an lnfalibly indication of rain
or bad weather.

Badly Hurt. A young man named
John Spees, a resident of Wheat
field township, but employed by Gring
& Co., in the lumber business, was se
verely hurt while cutting down a tree
iu Pfoutz's Valley. Spees and M'Kin
ney had Just cut down a tree which
lodged, and as It fell, a large limb broke
off and struck young Spees on the back
of the neck, knocking him down and
crushing him on to a log. He was
picked up inseiiHlble, and for a time it
was feared his injuries were fatal. We
are glad to be able to state that his in
juries do not prove to be dangerous.
School Books. A committee was ap
pointed during the institute to present the
case to Judge Junkln and ask his opin
ion as to the power of School Directors
to purchase books for the schools. In
reply the Judge gives the following
Ol'INION.
" I am'of opinion that there Is Inherent
power in School Directors to purchase
all the school books required, and lend
them to scholars for use, lust as other
necessary instruments and aids may be
purchased for the common use of all
pupils, such as blackboards, globes, and
other appliances. The duty of Directors
is to so constitute their Bchools that the
ends thereof may be subserved, and it is
a principal that powers are implied
commensurate with the duty enjoined.

A Treacher's Slander Suit. Luther C.
Shammo, a farmer residing in Lower
Paxton township, near Linglestown,
brought suit for Blander against Rev.
Simon Mower, a preacher of the United
Brethren church, for the purpose of
recovering damages. - The jury returned
a verdict of $225 damages and coBts
against Mr. Mower. The suit arose
from the circumstance that in the month
of October, 1870, a report was circulated
that Mr. Shammo had set fire to his
barn to secure the insurance money.
This report he followed up, and finally
traced it to Rev. Simon Mower, the de
fendant, and forthwith instituted suit
against him in an action for damages,
with the above result. Patriot.
A Sheep Story. One day last week a
drover called at the railroad freight of
fice and desired a stock car, to load sheep
for the Eastern market. He became
quite Indignant when he learned that
he would have to wait until the next
day before he could be accommodated.
He endeavored to create the impression
that he was old drover and had been
able to get a car off any train in less
than twenty minutes' time, load his
sheep and send them out in another
twenty minutes, whether through or
local train. In due time a car was put
in on the Milford siding for him,t but
the sheep were not loaded, for good and
sufficient reasons to the drivers and ia
direct variance with the wishes of the
drover. It seems that these sheep were
purchased away up in the upper end of
Perry county, and driven from New
Germantown to Newport, by Samuel J.
Philips and another gentleman who
claimed reasonable wages for their big
walk and labors in driving the sheep.
Mr. Drover refused to pay these de
mands and the Bheep were driven away
from the stock yard to the Ninth Ward
Hotel stable, where they were locked
up and faithfully guarded. The drover
found his financial condition far below
par, and induced a friend to advance him
enough money to liquidate the claims of
the drivers, so that he could transport
the sheep to market before the prices
would decline. He finally got his sheep
and shipped then) off. There seems to
be some crookedness connected with the
whole transaction, as well as with some
of the prior actions of the drover. It
seems that he purchased the sheep from
a Mr. Brlner, residing in the upper end,
and gave him a draft on the People's
Bank of Newport for the amount. The
draft was drawn one day after slght,and
bore a date in 1877. Mrr Briner, fearing
all was not right, hastened to Newport
and presented the draft to Mr. T. H.
Milligan, President of the Newport De
posit Bank. Wlien the drover put in an
appearance in Newport, he was prompt
ly asked to honor the draft, which he
did after considerable talking.
Aaron Dorsey, barber, who recently
moved to Newport from Orblsonia,
Huntingdon county, InforniB us that
this name fellow succeeded in filching
some $700 or $00 worth tit sheep from
farmers in that neighborhood, without
rendering any equivalent whatever, oth
er than pomlses to pay. " Newport

Mr. Editor : I do not think we ever bad a
more efficient corps of teachers than we have
this winter. Our schools are in splendid run
nlng order. Each teacher seems to be doing
bis best to give satisfaction. There are four
schools in our township, each teacher getting
$28 per month, which Is no doubt a stimulant
to greater exertion than if the salary was $10
to $20 per month. Our directors take a step
In the right direction by employing men of ex
perlonce, and paying them liberally.
We have organized a temperance society at
No. 8 school-bouse, where quite a number bave
become members. Meetings are held every
Saturday evening.
MrW. W. Frymlre has started a new store
In the vicinity of Glendale Mills.
The grainfields are looking well.

Mb. Ebitobi We heartily agree with
Omega, whose communication appeared in the
"Democrat" some time since, that local news
is Interesting, and we would gladly furnish
yon items of news and then If they were not
so scarce. The people here are industrious,
law-abiding and church-going, attend to their
own business and do not care whether any
thing turns np or not. The village of New
Germantown wonld be an excellent place for a
local correspondent as they are taming np
something in that enterprising town every day
don't know why It is, but think there are too
many holes in the wall, dew-drop inns, and
bad whisky.
The village of Blain is situated In the se
eluded, bnt fertile Sherman's Valley, yet we
are in dally communication with the outside
world. Our people have long been noted for
their kind hospitality, enjoy an excellent rep
utation for pretty girls, substantial picnics,
abundant crops and fat cattle, and long ago
ceased to look npon Old Mother Cumberland as
our superior In the production of crops.
Revivals are being held In New Germantown
and at Stony Point, with what success we are
not able to say.
On last Thursday evening th e residence of
Rev. M. C. Piper was invaded by a band of
miscreants bent on mischief. Possession waa
taken without a word of warning. After ma
ture deliberation, however, the Reverend gen
tleman decided not to send for the Burgess or
raise a disturbance at the donations amounted
to over fifty dollars In va'.ue. An hour or two
was whlled away very pleasantly, after which
a few appropriate remarks were made by Rev.
Piper, responded to by J. E. Moreland. Ex
cellent music was rendered by S. Blxler,of Cen
ter, after which the company dispersed, satis
fied with the result of their undertaking. .
We notice that the People's Freight Railway
Is still looking after delinquent subscribers.
We do not see any reason why they do not pay
np for the road must certainly be la running
order as we noticed an account of a cow being
killed along the line of road , and we cannot
see how the cow waa killed uulees she came in
contact with one of their ponderous engines.
Borne say It was not completed to the Pacific
as the company promised, but It takes time
and money to do that. Perhaps they are
awaiting government aid. Borne complain
that it does not carry passeugers, bnt they
must understand that It was built for a freight
railroad, and the freight traffic Is very heavy.
Perhaps those delinquents could have settled
the matter long ago If they had secured the ser
vices of Judge Lynch and uiado a hearty ap
plication of tar and featheribut that not being
a legal mode, of proceeding, we discountenance
any such doings.

Mb. Editor t Thinking a few lines from
Duncannon and vicinity would Interest the
many renders of your valuable papor, I trans
mit the following 1
The Duncannon Blast Furnace Is undergo
ing a completo reconstruction under the man
agement of Geo. Enney, of Harrisburg, a gen
tleman well versed In the mysteries of fur
nace, and the Company are sparing nothing
that will add toward making one of the finest
furnaces In the State.
The old stock bouse has been removed, and
a new and more convenient one erected, that
wtnn flnlshad will be an ornameut to the place.
They are also building anew bolst, of the latest
improved style, wuicu, wnen nnisneo, win no
about 75 feet In height, and will require about
70.000 bricks to complete It. They are also
raising the stack of the furnace about 20 feet,
and adding tour new boilers 1 also, a monster
engine of 400 horse-power, besides other im
provements of lesser note, when flnlAtied and
the whole in motion will employ about thirty
men.
Tho Nail Factory has not been for several
days, and, In fact, have not been doing much
lor tour or live months, on account 01 uonuie
with the boilers. They have Just finished
placing In position n large tubular boiler,
which, it Is hoped, will end the trouble, and, as
nails are in great demand, will give the Bailors
a good run during the winter. The rolling mill
H working at nut capacity, ana turning out a
large amonnt of bar iron, which is generally
cold (or ordered) in advance, as It Is ofleu
shipped before It Is entirely cold. Great praise
Is due the energetic manager, Mr. John Wis
ter, for the interest he takes In keeping the
works in operation.
The great drought has been pretty severely
felt In this section, as many of the wells and
small streams were entirely dry, and the late
rains have not been sufficient to affect the sup
ply of water to any great extent.
Tho death-scream of the porker is heard In
all directions, and a number of large ones have
been slaughtered In this vicinity, many of them
weighing over four hundred pounds.
The Lyceum at Duncannon borough school
house, on Monday evening, and Mi. Pleasant
school-house on Friday evening of each week,
are well attended, and those wanting informa
tion on various subjects will do well to attend,
as there are some very able speakers, fine read
ing, and many amnsing queries, all of which
are interesting and Instructive.
The Duncannon and Woomlleld R. R. appear
to have fallen through, but perhaps " it. ia not dead
but gleepelh," and will at some future clay awake
to realize the fact that we must and will bave a
railroad.
There are some Improvements going on In the
village of Duneanuon. Mr. Jos. llawlev Is about
coinpletinga splendid brick house, Mr. John Bai
kins Is erecting a furniture shop and Mr. P. F.
