Ourreaders viii regret to learn that
Judge Wilson fell on Tuesday morning in
the yard of his residence on Brown street,
fracturlng the thigh bone The Judge
has been in crippled condition for about
a year, caused by palsy, and moved with
considerable difficulty The rain of Mon
day night had rendered pavements and
walks very slippery, to which the accident is
attributable. He endured much pain af-
ter his fall, but was somewhat relieved by
the timely attendance OF Dr. Vanvalzah,
who, with his usual skill set the broken
limb
THE WEATHER.-On Saturday last it
became quite cold, and during the night
the thermometer ranged in the neighbor-
hood of zero On Sunday morning the
canal, creek and river were covered with
ice some inches in thickness On Monday
evening it commenced showing, but mod
Grated when three or four inches had fall
len and tuFned to rain, which made most
disagreeable slush on Tuesday
B9-C. C. Stanbarger has been acting as
Sheriff since the November Court, and has
appointed D. D. Muthersbough his Depu-
ty.
Mr.. Brewer took his seat in the Board
of Commissioners during the last term,
succeeding Mr. Creighton, who retires
with the good wishes of all and the con-
sciousness of having at least endeavored
faithfully to discharge his duties to the
taxpayers. The board is now composed of
John Peachey, President, Richeson Brat
ton, and Samuel Brewer.
pa The Episcopal Church in this place,
which has been without a pastor for some
time, is now under charge of Rev. j. Lett
head, a young man W who we think has the
will and ability again to make it what it
was years ago, favorite place of worship.
nen- We understand that on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, Thursday, 29th instant, union
meetings will be held as follows Rev. S.
Kepler will oficiate in the Presbyterian
Church in the morning, and Rev. Fl. Ba-
ker will preach in the Methodist Church
in the evening. The several depomina-
tions are invited to attend Service will
also be held in the Episcopal Church.
New SCHEDULE.-It will be seen by
reference to the time table of the railroad
that a considerable change in the running
of trains was made on Monday last. The
mail train arriving here at 10 a. N. runs
only from Harrisburg. We believe the
company would do much towards concilia- |
ting local travel by having two trains both
ways to take up and set down passengers
at all stations: as many persons still contin-
ue to come down the river on horseback or
in carriages, in most cases trains stopping
only in one direction Thus, from Newton
Hamilton a passenger cannot come here at
a proper time to do business without walk /
ing to Mount Union, while most inconsist- |
emily provision is made for his going up.
Other stations are at the same disadvant-
age, and we have no doubt the same state
of things exists in all the counties along
the route. Why not make two trains sub
seryient to the public, and make one real
through train, stopping only at the leading
stations?
