HORSE RuN OFr.-Our young friend
Janes N. Wilson, living above town met
with quite an accident on Friday laat.-
He was coming to town on horseback.
and when at the red rock above town the
beast took fright at a small DOG, threw
him off, one foot remaining in a stirup,
he was dragged down to the grave yard
where "Sallie Myers" caught the horse,
and he then let go the rein which he
somehow held all the while and lcosened
his loot. He vas severely cut and bruis-
ed abou, his head, limbs and body. He
was carried home where we are glad to
say he is rapidly recovering.
WITH THE Wool ON--Thp following
receip, IS given for tahing sheep skins
with the wool on: Take one tablespoon
full of alum and two of saltpctre pull
verize we'll and mix together thoroughly.
Sprinkle this powder upon the flesh side
of the skin and fold together with the
wool out: hang UP in dry place. In
two cr three days, as soon as dry, take
down, scrspe the flesh side with a Blunt
edged knife till clean. This completes
the process. Such skins make excellent
saddle covers. .
4 GooD SEWING MAuHINE.-Many
Of our readers remember Of seeing the
Weed .Se~ing Machine advertised in the
SENTINEL. We are happy to state s. ".
Mcclellan of Harrisburg has an agency
for it and has it on exhibition at the Jet-
elry Store of his brother in this place
any persons desiring can call to see it
during this week. They are simple in
their construction throughout, easily un,
dcrstood, and readily adjusted, being in
this respect far superior to any other ma
chine. They Stitch, Hem, Braid, Fell,
Cord, Bind and Gather without Blasting.
They never drop Stitches if the needle is
tightly set. We Fave this machine in
our fsn,ilv.
TICKETS BY TELEGRApH,-We had
often heard Of the ignorant democrats of
Berks County, of their voting for Jack
son every year, and letting Clymer lead
then BY the nose, and We always srppos.
ed :he stories exaggerated But We have
had reason to charge our mind Last
week We tsrrried at Marysville few min
u,es ahd we're in the Office talking to
Lieut.. David Gieb, when a man came
II and wan.d to send dispatch and t,oo
rail road tickets to Reading by Telegraph.
He was an old man and appears to have
bought the tickets for sorne friends before
he left hcne, which friends did tot make
the train-so he thought he would Tele-
graph them back. We bet he votes for
jackson, Clymer, and clean democrat

FED HEADED jim BROKE Our IN A
New PLAcE-As we we're coming down
3rd Street in Harrisburg the other day

Lam" very nicely painted on the sidevay.
We commenced to wonder whether it was

see the color of the head of the estab-
lishment. To our surprise we found our
friend Holtsopple .rd several other Ju-
aiata boys Just in the act Of lighting their
cigars at Jim's flaming rcd hair We
went in and after having pleasant chat
and good time generally have this re-
commentator to make, viz: If any Of
our readers go to Harrisburg End get
hungry (as We always do) let them call
around to see Jim in his Saloon on Third
