were unusually heavy at the head waters
of the Juniata, and on Friday the river
rose rapidly, about foot an hour. until
it covered the tOwpath below town. Some
gardens along the creek were partially in
undated, but otherwise no damage was
sustained here. Above us however con-
siderable injury must have been suffered
as large number of rails came down with
the drift, which as usual enabled quite a
number of gatherers to lay in a supply
of wood. The second railroad bridge
(Mayes) was in course of alteration to an
iron, and the trussels being carried away
railroad travel was delayed on Friday,
cars being shifted from one side to the
other, but the timbers having been re-
placed in the arches, trains again run
regularly on Saturday morning

up some choice article for family con-
sumption, has some fine fish on hand

that it was the KEYSTONE BAND OFNEw-
TON HAMILTON, and not the McVeytown,
which serenaded the Gazette office as
well as a number of other places, and fur
nished our citizens with some excellent
music from Dipple's balcony, on the first |
October. The Keystone is first rate in
stitution, composed of good fellows thro'-
out, and we regret the error was made.
John Ruble, of Ferguson's Valley, a
wholesouled republican farmer, called on
Saturday and left us half bushel of
splendid apples, comprising seventeen
different kinds, and says if anybody can
present the Gazette with finer apples or
choicer assortment, he should like to hear
that it was done.
Henry Book lately presented us with
an apple measuring over IA inches in cir
cumference, and Simon Wittinmeyer left
us some ounces, the finest we have seen
this year.

gentleman from Philadelphia, undertook
to drive out from town on that night, and
horse, buggy and men went down into
Kishacoquillas creek from the high bank
this side of Mt. Rock Mills. Both gen.

both bruised and cut, and as one of them
was under the buggy when it upset in the |

escaped with life. DR.. Marks was called |
in and dressed their wounds.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.-The Rural
American, which is advertised in this is
months, and it is a very valuable publica-
ton to farmers, and all persons engaged
in rural pursuits. Indeed, we know of
no paper of its class that surpasses it; and
it is considered by many to be the best
the most practical agricultural and horti-
cultural periodical in this country. The
price, only $3.50 year, is low for such an
elegant, well edited paper yet every sub
scriber receives as a GRATUITY, about the
same amount in very choice grape vines,
raspberry and strawberry plants, fine en-
cravings, &c. See full details in adver-
tisement.
