AcCDENT.-For some time past num-
Der Of boys have been frequenting the old
armory building, now the property Of the
school directors, gaining access by climb
in on the roof or getting in at the second
story window. On Monday evening, VIM.
Allison, son of James Allison, deceased,
was on the roof, from which he slipped,
and in falling his arm caught on one of the
spikes in the fence, tearing the flesh in
shocking manner between the wrist and
elbow The whole weight of his body was
upheld for some moments in this manner.
He was Immediately removed to his grand
fathers residence, Hon James Burns, and
his wounds dressed by DR.. EanValzah.
FINE SrRAWBERRIEs-We received
basket of strawberries from Mrs. Wm. b.
Hoffman on Monday evening the sight of
which would have made our strawberry"
ncishbor weep. They were remarkable
for their uniformity in size, probably aver
aging ,! or , inches in circumference, and
were hy far the finest lot we have seen this
season Our thanks are Of course due the
donor
Ezg~ Considerable feeling has been crca-
ted among the Ladies Association as well
as others by an apparently well-founded re-
port that advantage was taken by some
persons to forward liquor in cans, &c, with
false labels, in the boxes which were for
warded to our soldiers.
MARKET REGULATIoNs.-The Harris
burg Telegraph Of last week says that
John Paulis, butcher of that place, was
fined 81 and costs 'for selling meat before
the hour designated by law for opening the
market" We think there can be no doubt
as to the power Of any borough to regu-
late the sale Of meats, &c, and such pow
er we believe has been repeatedly sanction
cd by the courts. At the request Of the
butchers here an ordinance was passed and
Is now in force prohibiting the pcddling Of
meat at any time except by the quarter,
but at the same time containing some
wholesome regulations respecting the butch
ers which our citizens ought to know and
enforce. lst. They are prohibited, du-
ring market hours, from selling meat at
any other place than at the market. ID.
my piece of meat in market is to be con
sidered for safe, as they are prohibited
from hanging it away under pretencc that
it is sold or engaged. Sd They are pro-
hbited from forestalling the market by
going around previous to market hours and
engaging meat 4th. If they endeayor to
evade these provisions by keeping a por-
tion of the meat slaughtered at their shops
OF houses for the purpose of selling it to
certain parties after market hours. The
intention is to put al purchasers on an
equality, aud If this ordinance is carried
out it may do it if it fails, let all market
regulations be repealed The fine for vio-
lation is s. for each offence
The LAST CnANcE-B. X. Firoved, Agt,
reminds our readers that his establishment
will positively close in a few weeks, and the
ladies lose the best opportunity they ever had
for buying Lawns, Bareges and ether dress
goods lower than they ever bought them be-
fore, or ever may again. Remember, he is
selling at original cost In the meantime,
those indebted should at once come and square
up.
