A Smart SfafionAgent.

Some years ago, shortly after the intro
duction of the Illinois Central road through
that portion of Illinois known as EGYPT"
an honest countryman, who had lived
some forty years or thereabout in blissful
ignorance of everything pertaining TO the
"kers," was appointed station agent at
C, one Of those little Quito ftne-way
places where. as Dickens says, "no one
co,!ld by any possibility want to get off or
on" On receiving his instructions he
was told, among other things, that, as
c. was merely a "fag station" trains
would stop only when some one wished to
get off or on; and that if he wanted to
stop any train he must " flag" it..
Shortly after his appointment, accor-
dinghy, as the email" came laundering
on, he placed the magic red flag in posi-
tion--the signal to stop.
As the car drew up to the station the
conductor jumped off on the platform, with
his accustomed GAN aboard 7" at tie same
tine asking if there were "any passen-
gers to get on"
7" Wa'al, not as knows Of" was the
puzzled agents reply. @o2
i. "Then what did you stop the train forf"
shouted the irate conductor.
al didn't know but some un might want
to get off +" said The obliging "agent" in
/. conscious tone Of injured innocence.
NO Time to Buy Ticket.

aThere was once a little maid
Z Wholived by her trad,
Whom her lover wanted TO whe-e-dlei
When from pretty lI.tle MSS
He tried to get kiss.
She scratched his nose with ne.e-dle.
'Then this little maid.
She was very much AFRAID

So she got into bed.
Put her nightcap on her head,
And fastened up the door with ske-e-wer."
No laughter that had occurred during the
of the whole evening was equal to that
elected bv the song, and Tommy mads his
exit amidst shower Of applause,
No sooner had the mirth somewhat sub
sided. when to nv intense horror, my friend
and neighbor, Rev Mr. Jones, rose from
his seat, and, in spite of all my entreaties
to the contrary, began to address the audi
ence.
"My dear friends" he said, "pray
listen for few moments to ne, for. believe
me, I am solely actuated by desire for
your good. Do not think that | want to
restrain any innocent amusement; but let
me ask you if a a scene like this ls proper
one for beings with immortal souls ?
Would not the attention you are here giving
to irrational exercises and gross absurditics
be far better employed in rejecting on the
wickedness of your past lives, and making
preparation fer the great change which
must some day overtake us all? with which
the strongest cannot wrestle, nor the fleet
est avail. Death may approach US at any
hour, noiselessly and without notice. He
may choose for his victims the young or the
old, the rich or the poor. This very night
He may call some of these present away,
and what is the preparation which has
been made to receive him? When look
around me-"
I. Here he stopped short, and the muscles
of his face underwent series of extraor-
binary spasmodic contortions, while his
eyes were intently fixed on the performers
entrance. | looked toward it and saw the
head of Tommy, still arrayed in the harris-
ter's wig, gazing from between the green
baize curtains, as if ne were looking cut Of
bed, straight at the face of my reverend
friend Poor, Jones tried to continue, but
it was impossible; and at last, in
spite of all his efforts to restrain
himself, he burst into q hearty laugh.
Then taking up his hat hurridly. he
left the circus, the eyes of the audience at
the time being fixed on the clown.
The circus remained two days longer in
the town, and ON each performance Tommy
wore his new wig, which was perfect sue
cess.
would now earnestly press on all circus
managers my advice to adopt Tommy's ex-
pertinent. 1t would not only be sure to
succeed, and put money in their pockets.
but very probably in the end they would

ery,-the barrister's wig.

ALoSpos correspondent gives the follow

A LONDON correspondent gives the follow
ing anecdote of Nathan Rothschild:
'The bank Of England having refused to
discount large bill drawn on him. be
gathered all thepfve pound notes he could
procure in England and on the continent,
and presented himself at the bank. He
drew from his pocket-book a FIVE pound
note, and they naturally counted out five
sovereigns. The baron examined one by
one the coins, and put them into O. little
canvas bag, then drawing out another note,
"a third--a tenIh--a huudredth, he never
put the pieces of gold into the bag without
scrupulously examining them, and in some
instances trying them In the balance, as, he
said, " the law gave him the right to do So"
The first pocket book being enlptied, and
the first bag full. he passed them to his
clerk, and received q second, and thus con-
tinued till the close of the bank. The
baron had employed seven hours to change

of his house engaged in the same manner,
it resulted that the house Of Rothschild had
drawn Ell 900 in gold from the bank, and
tibet he so occupied the tellers that no other
person could change a single note. The
next day he returned, much TO the anouse

u "A very good story is told of a railroad
conductor, running train not thousand
miles from Buffalo. A certain " ehap"
was found on board his train one day,
who chad not time to get a ticket" and
compelled the conductor to make change.
The passenger handed the conductor a
$500 100, on which had accrued four or
Ave months interest. This was the
g smallest change he had" Never

the same time drawing from his "other

Since the above was in type, the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad
Company have carried into effect new
arrangement which will be of great con-
.venience to the travelling public. They
now run ALL TRAINS from Chicago to Cleve-
land through without change of cars. The
increase of travel ON this short line route
has already been much larger than was
anticipated, and fully justifes the man
agement in sparing no effort that may
contribute to the comfort and convenience
Of their patrons and friends.
The Crestline route is growing in public
favor daily, and passengers for Cleveland
who have tried it, acknowledge it to be
fully equal, and in many important ro-
spects superior to any competing line run
ming East from Chicago.

We call the attention of persons engaged

The FIre-Twe stnblen nurned.

Yesterday afternoon, at about 3 O'Clock,
an alarm offire was sounded from the South
Engine House, It was found that fire
had broken OUT in frame stable, belong
ing to Chauncey Leonard, on the west side
OF Bank alley between West Mound street
and Strawberry alley. In less than five
minutes after the alarm was given, the up
per part OF the building was all in flames,
and in few minutes more, the fire had ex-
tended to the frame stable of j. D. Flynn,
north Of II, on the same side of Bank alley.
The fire Department was promptly on
hand, but as water could not be procured
from the canal, but had to be brought from
the cistern near the Court House, 1t was
some ten or fifteen minutes after the first
alarm was given, before water could be
thrown upon the burning stables or the
other frames in the immediate vicinity,
which were in imminent peril, but owing
to the calmness of the atmosphere and the
activity of the Fire Dep artment were
saved from destruction. 'r '-g~
In an incredible short space of time after
the engines commenced playing upon the
stables, which were both wrapped In flames,
the fire was subdued, and nothing was to
be seen of the buildings but the charred
timbers. The stables on the opposite side
of Bank alley had a narrow escape, and
were only saved from taking fire by being
kept constantly wet. The small frame
dwelling Of Jacob Hymrod, south of Mr..
LeOnard's stable, was slightly injured by
the fire, and would probably have been
consumed but for the prompt extingulsh-
ment of the flames by the Fire Department.
Had there been a high wind blowing at
the time, the conhagration would doubtless
have been much more extensive, and sew
eral valuable buildings would have been
consumed. .............-
Mr. Leonard's stable has been recently
used asa carpenter shop. In it were shaw
ings and dry lumber. In the loft was a
quantity of hay. The fire is said to have
first broken out in the loft, and is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary,
as no person is known to have been in the
stable or shop in the afternoon, and no fire
was used in it. The hay, dry lumber and
shavings were almost as combustible as a
powder magazine.
There were two horses, and large guam
tity of hay, corn, etc., in the stable of Mr.
Flynn. The horses were fortunately got out,
and small portion of the corn. Mr. Flynn
had, we understand, an insurance of $500
on his horses and stable. We have not
heard Of any insurance on Mr.. Leonard's
stable. The entire loss of property 10 the
two buildings cannot be far from $1,000.

Ask Your,eIr 1he Question.

President JOHNSON is clear in his own
mind that he has done his duty under the
Constitution to the country. He feels sat-
istied that he has not violated the Constitu-
tion; his conscience tells him he is no trail
tor. A great many people have faith in his
patriotism and his honesty. Now, is it
reasonable to suppose that the President
will allow himself to be dragged from the
Presidential chair, thrown into some loath-
some dungeon and afterwards, upon some
trumped up thing, impeached by the Radi-
Gals Can such thing be done without
disturbing the peace of the country? Ask
yourself that question before voting for
SHELLABARGER and his Radical co-laborers.

Sarinua Accident.

We regret to learn that a serious accident
befell Mr.. b. L. Reese, Of Madison township,
on Saturday evening. 1t seems that Mr..
Reese had been to the city with load Of
potatoes, and was returning home about
dark, in company with a neighbor Of his,
Mr.. v. Williams. just after they had
crossed the bridge on the Harrisburg turn
pike, in passing another team, their horses
ran too far on one side; some part Of the
gearing broke; and the wagon was over
turned, or partly thrown on one side. Mr..
Reese, in his alarm, jumped out Of the
wagon, and in doing 50, fractured both
bones Of one of his legs between the ancle
and the knee. The broken limb was set and
dressed by DR.. Seltzer, and the next day
Sunday Mr.. Reese returned to mis- home
in carriage. We were gratifled to learn
yesterday that he was In fair way for d
speedy recovery.

They Don,I want War.

We know that the great mass Of the
Republican party don't want war, and we
know that if they could be brought to be-
lIeye that war would follow the success Of
the Radicals, they would not vote for the
Radical candidates. We ask them to let
their thoughts run back to the political
contest of 1880. They did not think civil
war would follow the election of LINCOLN; (;
they could not be made believe that such
thing would by any possibility happen. 1t
did follow. though. And we now beg them
to reflect whether they think the Radical
purpose Of dragging President JOHNSON
from bis Office can be done without affiict-
ing the country with another civil war. i,

The Gipsies.


Z A band of Gipsies that have been for
some time past prowling about the city
and vicinity, are now located beyond the
toll-gate on the Johnstown road, on the
road or lane that turns to the right from
that road rs one travels eastwardly, and
runs to Alum creek. In that lane are to be
seen some fifteen or twenty wagons, in
which the Gipsies keep their plumber and
sleep at night, when not out on predatory
excursions in the city or surrounding coun.
try ,o.tot, .....'.-a .- -rgrJat
They have no tents, but cook in the open
air, and when they eat, crouch around a
cloth spread on the bare ground. NGipsies
may be rather romantic sort offerings in
plays and novels; but in real practical life,
they are little, if any, better than common
vagabonds. Many persons lay, and not
without reason, much of the petty THEY
ing that has recently occurred in the city,
to their charge. aao' 'n;.
As the Gipsies are now in our immediate
vicinity, and Ben. Butler is coming here
day after tomorrow, we advise people to
keep a sharp lookout for their silver spoons
and other valuables. l., I'd sfe, -- ..-g.,V
