the skillful hands Of Mrs, Bailey, the excel
lent wife of, Mr.. Wm. S. Bailey, the steward
of the farm. & - zS
There are 35 inmates of the house, sup
ported by the county, some of them very sad
eases of idiocy and decrepitude some bad
ly diseased, and others able 70 toperfcrm con
siderable work. There are several bright
orphan children who need permanent homes.
The children will be placed in good families,
on application to Supervisor McCandless, of
Coal Valley, or Supervisor Stoddard, of this
city. 86s
The farm contains ii I acres of most ex-
cellent land, and is in fine state of cultiva-
ton. A portion of the land is rented to ten
ants, and the balance cultivated by hired
help and the labor of the paupers-under
the direction of Mr.. Bailey. fs sTst
The crops look well, very few weeds being
visible, and evidence everywhere of careful
attention.
The buildings are large and convenient !;
the stables, sheds and fences in good order,
and the shade trees numerous and flourish
ing.
If the place was called by some fashiona-
BILE name; e;one-haf the people of the county
would be glad to live there. Not one-fourth
of the people of the county have as elegant
or comfortable homes.
The people of the county, through their
representatives., the supervisors, are entitled
to credit for the liberal and humane provis-
ions made for the northumberland Super
visors Stoddard and McCandless, who are ON
the committee having the charge of the
farm, ,-are entitled to especial praise for the
very intelligent and efficient management of
the institution. Mr.. Bailey and his excellent
wife should also be mentioned for the faith
ful discharge Of The very disagreeabe duties
devolving upon them.

Boys, LOOK OUT.-The city marshal has
the names of several boys who have been in
bathing at places forbidden by the city ordi-
names. 1t is very good idea for the boys
to bathe at proper times and places-but
they must go outside ofthe forbidden ground,
or they will be arrested and their parents
will have fines to pay or the boys viii have
to go to jail. An hour before sunrise or an
hour after sun-down they can bathe where
they please.

Too MUcH INDIAN.-Mr. VIM. Bell, of
this city, and Mr.. Spencer H. White, of Mo
line, who started a few weeks ago for the
mountains beyond Denver, Colorado, have
returned. Going out, they took passage in
the stage and got as far on their journey as
North Platte, where they met a coach COM
ing in from the west which confirmed the
rumors of The Indian troubles, and contain
ed several passengers who had started for
ing attacked. Messrs. Bell and White, with
other passengers, returned to North Platte
to await developements, and while there,
another coach came in containing a party
who had met the Indians. Their driver and
one of their mules was killed, and it was
only from the fact that the passengers were
well armed and made brave stand that
they succeeded in driving off the Indians
and making their escape. In view of these
facts Messrs. Bell and White turned back,
leaving North Platte on Friday the 7th.
A son of Mr.. Chas. Case, also of this city,
who started for Colorado about three weeks
since, with a party made up from this city
and Moline, is expected home. \ Mr..
Moore, of Pennsylvania, nephew of Hibbard
Moore, Esq, another of the party, will follow
soon. The remainder, some of whom took
the stage at North Platte and Others who
fell in with a train, probably got through be-
fore the troubles began.
Mr.. Case was travelling with the driver
of a mule team loaded with merchandise
When they reached the sand region, men
toned above band of Indians suddenly
appeared bearing down on them with their
feet ponies at full speed. Mr.. Case and the
driver barely had time to unhook the two
lead mules, mount them and dash away, be-
fore the indians reached the wagon. The
two men went back TO Moore rancho, where
they were joined by several others and re.
turned to the wagon, only to find the other
mules gone and the merchandise strewn in
all directions.

linen handkerchief, which he probably stole
from some ones pocket, at or near Mrs. John
sons ice cream saloon, as he wasa~seen to
run into the alley, there, and examine it
He had also one joint of new and valuable
flute, which he said he bought of boy in
Davenport-but it was ascertained That he
stole it from Blackburn's bookstore. He al

place he was going to rob. He is an old of
fender, well-known here, but is recently from
Henry county Jail. He was miserable
apology for soldier during portion of the
war, but was drummed out of camp for steal
ing. This morning he was brought before
Esq. Connolly, who held him for trial on a
charge of stealing. His bail was fixed at
$500, in default of which he was committed
He is the same fellow who committed an
indecent assault upon two little girls, or s
years old, and this being proven, he was al
so fined $40 and costs
Charles Hakers, boy about l6 years of
age, who says he came from New York city,
was arrested by Policemen Mitseh, yester-
day forenoon, charged with stealing watch
from George I. Walker, at Schedules board
ing house, where both parties were stopping.
He confessed the crime, and was bound over
in the sum of 500 to appear at the next
term of the circuit court.
Several young boys, with very bad in
stincts and over whom no good parental
care seems to be exercised, are in the habit
of prowling about town hunting for chances
to steal. Lately, the hands at the Coal Val
ley depot miss coupling pins, and yesterday
one boy was caught. His name is John
Suter, son of a one,handed German peddler
Esq. Connolly held him to bail, for trial, and
in default of bail he was sent to Jail.
Our legislature, last winter, passed an act
prohibiting all boys from going upon any
railroad depot grounds without permission.
Boys who have no business at or near rail
road depots had better keep away, or they
may get arrested.

Mr.. Solander, who, it will be remembered,
was disabled few days ago by wound in

put in his place, however, and it is hoped

We advise everybody to 60 and see the
game tomorrow, and hope the Wapellos will
see that the spectators are kept far enough
from the players so as not to interfere with
the game. In the last few matches we have
noticed that the catcher has been consider

wALYHAA6. MASS.

The American Watch Company, Of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
eheaper more accurate, less complex, more dura-
BILE, and better adapted for general use and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which are composed of from lbs TO 800 pieces,
while in an oldEnglish watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let

OFFICE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
Altoona, Pa, 5 Dec, 1866.
GENrLExrN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have ever had in use
on this road. As you are aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, OF ac-
knowledged good reputation; but as class they
never keep time correctly, nor have they done
as good service yours. .-t.-
In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
EDWARD H. WILLIAMS,
So. aa4 General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Walthsm, 80.
We make new FIVE different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy 4 Co., Waltham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Company, Waltham, Mass.
p S. BARTLETT Waltharn, Mass.
Wm Ellery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be of the best material on
the most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time-keeper. Every dealer
selling these watches is provided with the Com
pany's printed card of guarantee, which should
accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
feel sure that they purchasing the genuine ar
ticle. There are numerous counterfeits and imi-
tations of our watches sold throughout the coun
try, and we would caution purchasers to be on
their guard against imposition.
ANY grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased Of watch dealers throughout the country.

he following was the result

This was very exciting race, and, in
deed, we think it will be hard matter
to get up more enthusiasm a any race
during the Fair than was had yesterday
afternoon.
Pools for the race were sold on the
grounds all the afternoon, and last
evening pools were sold at the sprigg
House.
We notice, on the grounds, the usua-
amount of "side shows" revolving
swings, and all the "outside" attrac-
tions attendant upon such occasions.
In regard to refreshment stands, there
is no end to them. Among the most
conspicuous, we notice that of the vet
eran beerists, Messrs. Rolf and Roettger,
where is gold grapes, and the juice Of
the same; apples, and the juice thereof,
and almost anything you wish. And on
the grounds are innumerable refresh
ment stands.
The first noticeable feature Oh the
fair, yesterday, was the large number
OF speed horses. The races that Will
take place-as seen yesterday-will be
keenly contested.
The following is the programme for
to-day: 1890 A. M.-Premium, sl25;
open to trotting horses owned in Bel
