We are by no means sorry TO learn
that Rev. DR. Cumming and other in
cendiary individuals who have taken up
in these latter days the doctrines OF the
famous Mr.. Miller, have discovered
trfing error in their calculations which
puts of the destruction Of our earth for
the matter Of q million years or so.--
We are rather glad ofthis, for although
astronomers tel us that our globe il
small, infnitesimal even, in comparison
with some others OF their celestial ac-
quaintance, It Ia big enough to secure
our interest and enlist oil our sympa-
thies. II is little strange how lax in
accuracy tho figures of the fiery proph-
cts have ever been; Mr.. Miller discoy-
cred several successive errors in his
calculations, and postponed the final
smash first for two years, then for SIX,
then for three more, and finally passed
away himself. leaving the earth behind
as fresh and strong and young and i've
ly as ever. But we like DIR. Cummings
plan better by delaying tho consumma-
ton Of things for a million of years he
at once relieves US Of all personal anx-
iety.

A traveller once arrived at a village
inn after o hard days travel, but tho
landlord said they were entirely full,
and that II was utterly impossible to ac-
commodate him; that his wife had TO
sleep on the sofa and himself ON the
floor; but he would see what his wife
could do for him. The good woman on
being applied to, said there was room
he might occupy, provided he could a.
gree TO the condition, viz: to enter the
room late, in the dark, and leaveit ear
ly in the morning, TO prevent scandal,
as the room was double beddod and oc-
cupied by O lady. This he agreed TO.
About two o'clock in The morning an
awful noise was heard in tho house,
and our friend, the traveller, was heard
tnmbling heals over head down stairs.
The landlord on arriving at the spot,
inquired what the matter was. The
traveller calculated as soon as he could
speak:
"Oh, Lord that woman's dead" E
Il knew that, said the landlord but
how in the d. did you find it out"

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT Weregretto learn
that an accident occurred at the Steam Saw
Mill Of Mr.. George Houseknech,, in Penn
township, this county, on Monday of last
week, resulting in the instant death of son
of Mr.. Houseknecht, a young man aged
about Il years. The young man it appears
was acting as fireman, and by some means
was caught in the machinery Of the MILL
Being alcne at the time it is not known ex-
actly how the accident occurred. Those on
the Mill discovering that the machinery did
not work smoothly, sought the cause and
found young Houseknecht, entirely stripped
of his clothing, his entrails torn out, and of
course, dead. The frequency with which ac-
cidents occur where machinery is used,
should serve as a warning to all who work
at such establishments, to use greater caution
while in the perform ance Of their duties
