A NARROW EsCAPE.-A man was
discovered with his head lying on the
track in front of a train of cars leaving
the depot at York, Pa, a few days ago,
but it was too late to stop the tram, and
the man was seen to 90 under the ''pi!ot. :"
A crowd gathered, but when the man was
removed from the machinery and placed
on the track, il was found that he was
entirely unharmed, though his coat was
very much torn. He raised himself on
his elbow and asked, ''What is all this
crowd doing here ?" The man was in-
toxicated. He was told what narrow
escape he Lad had, and replied, "Em
much obliged to you, gentlemen, for get
ting me out of this fix" His name was

INDIANA Co.-The Democrat says: A
case occurred in Grant township, this
County, few days age, which almost
passes belief, but as it is well authentica-
ted we have no hesitation in giving the
facts. A Justice Of the Peace, who by
the way is also minister of the Gospel,
issued a summons against dead man,
directed to the Constable Of that town
ship. The constable went to the house
of the deceased in the village of Gettys-
burg, and lifting the sheet that hid the
mortal remains of the debtor read the
summons to the corpse against the protest
of his wife, as he said to comply with
the lawl This is most disgraceful and
sacrilegious. We should like to see the
return of the constable on that summons,
and wonder whether the Justice gave
judgement against the deceased for want
of an appearance

MURDER IN A HOUSE OF Ill. FAME

MURDER IN a House OF ILL FAME
A terrible murder was committed in Phil
adelphia on the 10th instant in house of

visited the house and was in company
with very genteel looking girl. On his

to waken the young lady as she was sleep

smoking his cigar. Hour after hour pass

her throat cut from ear to ear, the bed
clothes being thrown over her body in a
heap. Great excitement ensued in the

Hostetter,s stomach UIters


Man wants a tonic-no uncommon want
And every year and month brings forth a

The age discovers to be not the true one.

TETTER.
Doctors were living long before old Galen,
And since, exceeding learned, grave and
But the stomachics they were bound to fail
in;
Success came not until this later age.
Now Is the era sick folks are made hale in,
And dread dyspepsia driven from the

Vanish like smoke before HOSTETTER' s

Herbs, barks and roots compose the rare IN

TIE REBUILDING OF PORTLAND.-We
learn from the Portland journals that the
work Of rebuilding the burnt district of
that city Is being prosecuted with great
vigor, and whilst in some portions the
fire Is said, even at this remote period, to
be still smouldering, there are thousands
of men at work clearing away the rub
bish, constructing foundations for new
buildings and preparing materials. AL
ready in several localities the walls Of
new ediices are rising from amid the
ruins. Down to the close Of last week the
Mayor of Portland had received in con-
tributions from various parts of the coun-
try. for the relief OF the destitute, the sum
Of S239,95 28 in money, besides large
amounts Of various kinds Of goods.

AWKWARD ADVENTURE OF THREE
4OUNG LADIEs.-The Springfield 0n)
Journal, August I'd, says: Had Aunt
OPHELIA been at certain point on the
Sangamon, near this city, last Saturday,
she would have given vent to her favor
ite ejaculation. 1t seems that three young
girls in the ncighborhood of s'sweet six
teen" went blackberrying. Their bas-
kets were soon filled, and weary and warm
the maidens wended their way towards
home. The day was hot, and as the
damsels passed beneath the shade on the
banks of the river, the temptation exten-
Ged by the grateful water was too strong
for resistance. The girls bIushingly dis
robed, and shily slid into the river. They
remained there in modest sport for half
an hour.
When they left the stream, black berries,
and worse vet, clothes were gone, no.
where to be found. They were in dis
tress, but went back into the river, hope
ing that the clothes would be returned.
But there was nc such luck, and night
was coming on, under cover of which
their only hope was to reach home unper-
ceived, Suddenly fortune favored them
in the appearance of a girl who had also
been berrying, and was on her way home.
The case was stated to her and she speedi-
ly sought the friends of the poor half
drowned females, who soon brought them
clothing, and their embarrassment was
over. The clothes left on the river bank
were undoubtedly stolen, as nothing has
been heard of them since,
