Patrick had two fingers cut off ou Tues day last by the machinery in the stave mill. The communication from Blain was received too late for Insertion thiB week, and a later publication would not be of any value. Lightning struck the Central Hotel in Hanover, on Monday of last week stunning several people but otherwise doing little damage. SMr. Eshelman informs us that the Newport Tobacco Co., have shipped their last car load of tobacco for this teason. They shipped altogether nearly nine tons. The trial of the two Rombergers for the murder of Daniel Troutman, in Hep tember last, began at Harrisburg on Friday last. The first day was nearly consumed in obtaining a jury. On Sunday last a little son of Fred. Wahl, while whittling a stick, the knife slipped cutting him in the eye, the blade going through the lid to the ball. He may lose the sight of his eye. Record. Aspirants for County Superlntendency were looking up their interest last week. Prof. Flickinger seems to be the favorite among those we have heard express theuibelves. Ben. Deniaree, of Newport, had his head cut by a hatchet dropping on it while putting up Mr. Gansman's Bign. Fortunately the hatchet was not very sharp. The report that Dr. Sheeder proposes to leave Shermansdale he wishes us to contradict. He has no such intention, but means to stay and pay attention to his practice which is constantly increas ing. On Friday a week, a pass-book was lost between this place and the Neilson farm in Centre twp. The finder wiil oonfer a favor by leaving it at this office or with Mr. John Zimmerman. Shad fishing is expected to begin at the Newport fishery this week. We wish them the best of luck, we are very fond of shad. Make a note of that John, if you please. Dr. Hemminger, of Carlisle, has per formed a severe operation ou the foot of William Elliott, son of Kobert Elliott, of Newville, that of removing several bones from the top.

Captain Pratt, of the Indian school, addressed the Presbytery at Newville, last week, and stated that he wanted to find homes for 100 Indian boys during the summer months with farmers, tin ners, carpenters, &c, where they might learn the domestie civilized life. At the Huntingdon court, which con vened on Monday aweek, David Putt was convicted of disturbing a religious meeting and was ordered to pay a fine of five dollars and the costs of prosecution and to spend thirty days in the county jail.

A bill requiring the school directors to allow teachers the time and wages, while attending annual county institutes has passed the legislature. This is one of the bills that may be classed as an outrage on the taxpayers, and the Governor could make himself useful to the people by using bis veto. On Bunday shortly before noon a lire broke out in a house belonging to James Evei hart on Mulberry etreet in New port, entirely consuming the building and communicating to the house adjoin ing, and partly destroying that. A por tion of the furniture only was saved. No Insurance. The Terry county temperance society has Issued the second number of The Temperance Banner.

Selbert, while at his farm In Centre twp., on Friday a week was knocked insensible by a lodged sapling which moved from its resting place sooner than was expected. He shortly recovered and was none the worse - for the knockdown, except some scratches on the face. I, nt week we noticed the burning of the house occupied by Mr. Glenn, near Bhermansdale. We learn that besides the loss of his furniture, he also lost flour, meat, wheat, and fifty-six dollars In cash he was saving to pay some debts with. There was no lnsur mice, and the loss is quite severe on Mr. Glenn. Mr. Isnao Lulz of Liverpool is using In his burials where people will permit it, a very handsome robe.- The pne we saw last week which Mr. L. furnished for Mr. Cooper was a black cashmere trimmed with satin and richly embroi dered.

Carlisle has an ordinance which for bids the purchase of produce on market days for the purpose of sending the same away, or. for speculation. Last week Mrs. Iiinsemond, of Harrisburg, was arrested for violation of this act, and was fined $-5 and costs. Her husband has appealed the case and proposes to have the law tested by the court. It does Beem to be strange thnt a producer cannot sell his produce to whom he pleases. Bee card of Dr. O. P. Bollinger In an other column. I'trsennls.

On Thursday a week as a young man named Clark was assisting in hauling rails on a wagon, near Smlthsburg, Franklin county, he was bo unfortunate as to be killed. It appears that he was riding on the "lazy board" when the wagon upset, throw ing the load, which was a very high one, on him. He never spoke after the accident. (Oentlicr Tor April.-B. M'lntlre, Esq., hands us the following report of the month of April, 1881 : Average of Ther mometer at 8 A. M., 421M', and of Bar ometer 30 inches minus 8-tenths. Aver age of greatest heat 4123', and of cold, 34c48'. Wednesday the 27th was the warmest day, the Thermometer regis tering 72, and Thursday the 6th the coldest, the mercury sinking to 18. There fell 1 and 7-teuth inches of rain and 1 inch of snow. Insurance Opinion. Last week Judge Pearson in charging the jury, referred in very severe terms to the practice which has obtained of late among a cer tain class of mutual life insurance com panies, of placing large sums of money on the lives of aged and Infirm persons, and retailing the policies by agents for the purposes of speculation. He char acterized this practice by agents as one of the worst species of gambling. He said that the practice was clearly in violation of the law and he would have no hesitation in convicting such an agent on the ground of conspiracy. If the legislature did not pass a law to stop this speculation, it was the duty of the court to enforce the laws already in ex istence which pertained to the subject. Almost Dead. How the Insurance craze is affecting the people is illustrated by the following fact. Early in the year we inserted an advertisement stat ing that money could be had on good security, and for further particulars apply at this office. Last week a person came in who owns a little farm, and wanted to know who had that money to loan. Inquiry developed the fact that he wanted money to pay some insur ance assessments, and that he had al ready paid out over $400, most of which he had borrowed, on a $.1,000 policy, he held on an old person residing In Tur bett twp., Juniata county. There was now he said thirty-five dollars again due and if he did net pay that, he would lose all he had In vested, and he wound up liis appeal by saying "and the old man is almost dead and cannot possibly hold out much longer." In order to obtain this money he was willing to pay 2 per cent per month for the use of it three months, and by that time he would cer tainly get'hls money from the company. During the past three months this man has deprived his family of things they needed, been unable to pay little debts he should have paid, encumbered lils home with a lien be may never be able to pay, and done all this with the hope that a fellow creature would soon die. Does not a man so situated commit mur der in his hearty at nothing but the speedy death of the Insured can save this man from the hands of the Sheriff. This one case is no doubt a fair repre sentation of hundreds of others. Editorial Approval. Mr. W. J. Melviu, Editor Warren, Mass., Herald, was cured of severe Neu ralgia by the use of Bt. Jacobs Oil. Troy, (N. Y..) 1'rcss. Juniata County. We copy the follow ing from the Juniata county papers of last week : A house in Beale township, belonging to John Castner, was destroyed by fire ou Baturday night. , Joseph Rothrock and wife, of Fer managh township, are visiting friends in Nebraska. James Russell, of Port Royal, is serv ing as juror in court this week. He is the first colored man that has ever serv ed In that capacity Id this county. On Sunday last a valuable cow belong ing to Mr. Gibson L. Welmer, of Tur bett township, gained access to the chop box and died from the effects of over eating ef the feed. On Monday forenoon while Mr. W. H. Aikens was going to unhitch his horse from the organ wagon at his stable the horse frightened and ran away. In coming out of the alley at Will's stable the horse with the wagon attached run into two buggies that were standing by the court house pavement, doing consid erable damage to them, and damaging Mr. Aikens' wagon badly. Democrat and Jtegister. Cumberland County. We copy the fol lowing from the Cumberland papers of last week : Mr. David Beecher narrowly escaped being sawed in two, a few days ago, while sawing lumber at Mentzer & Drawbaugh's sawmill in Frankford twp. Amanda, youngest daughter of Philip Mountz, got a button up her nose one day last week. Dr. B. H. C. Blxler, arriving just in time, no doubt saved the poor child from an early grave. Mrs. Qouse, an aged woman of Car lisle, and mother of Mrs. Jos.'Schrau. denbach, fell at the residence of the latter on Friday and broke her leg. Bhe was removed to her home on Baturday evening, where she Is doing as well as can be expected. A few days ago while Mr. John Cope was ploughing along the turnpike, about two and a half miles below Ship, pensburg, oue of his horses became unmanageable, and whilst endeavoring to quiet the frightened animal Mr. Cope was thrown violently to the ground, and had three of his ribs broken. Mrs. Ad. O'Donnell was assisting to clean house at the residence of Jacob Livingston, on Penn street, on Thurs day last. Whilst cleaning a window one of the panes of glass suddenly broke cutting her arm above the wrist in a shocking manner. Bhe was conveyed to her home and Dr. Kiefler summoned, who rendered the necessary medical assistance. ' On examination the leaders were found to be severed, which no doubt will debar her of the use of her hand hereafter. Important to Travelers.

Abilene, Kan., April SO, 1881. Mr. Editors I think a few words from Abilene would he of some interest, if yon will pare me a Utile apace. We have very nice weather here now, plenty of ruin, and the wheat look! good nearly all over except in some few fields. This was one of the worst winters ever experienced in Kansas, and I hope ever will be as long as I am here. All those who are temperance men can come to Kansas after the first of May. No strong drluk of any kind to be sold in the State. I must say the bojs are making good use of their last few days. Travel on this Railroad is very heavy not so many stop off here, but nearly all go to the mountains to make a fortune, and generally they count the ties back. They travel by rail even If It Is walking. Every thins goes up in price this sprlDg live hogs are $5.15, wheat 75 to 85 ceuls, butter 20 to 'i6 cents, ejrgs from 6 to 10 cents a dozen, pota toes 6e to 70 cents, lumber, common, 2D to f'-!5 per thousand. Carpenters wages from (1.75 to 12.25. If thiugs keep on so I am sure there will not be enongh of carpenters In Kansas to do the work. With this I close. Perhaps you will hear from me again.
