MEssRs. EDITORS Again l seat my
self to drop you few lines from the Platte
Valley. The weather here is very chang
able, one day quite warm and the next
cold enough for snow. A few mornings
ago we had quite ii heavy frost, but it done
no damage to fruit in this country for a
very good reason, as there is nothing of
the kind in the country. The nearest
tree to this station is four miles, there be-
ing none nearer than the Platte river
The river is high at the present time, ow-
ing to the snow melting from off the
mountains.
There was quite an excitement along
the line yesterday afternoon on account
of the Indians Scalping four or five men
up on the grade and running oft some
thirty head of horses. They came within
a mile and Il half of the Forts and drove
off stock the soldiers refuse to fight: they
being mostly infantry, cannot do much
after them as they generally are mounted.
This last affair was in broad day light
We eeXpect two trains Ofsoldiers up to-day.
There are men going east on account of
the Indians; they think it isn't healthy
for them out here any longer.
The wolves are getting quite familiar
and favor us with their music almost
every night; this morning there was quite
a drove of them near the station, but a
shot from one of our carbines soon hur-
ried them off for the bluffs.
The Company are pushing the road
westward as rapidly as they can get the
iron forwarded to them. They average
two and half miles per day some davs,
if they have iron, they lay three miles.
Track is laid west of the North Platte
about fifty miles. Passenger trains only
run to North Platte they do not purpose
running west of that until the road is
completed to Julesburg, which will be
about August, if the Indians don't get too
troublesome
We expect two or three houses will be
built in our town this summer as parties

THE SCREW HAY FORK

TNHE undersigned having purchased the
i right TO sell Hall, Pierce & Co.'S. Pat
ent Hay Elevator, in the townships of
Derry, Decatur, Granville, Oliver, Brat
ton and Wayne, are prepared to receive
orders. In introducing this Fork to the
public, we feel confident that we bring an
implement that will satisfy the public
want, and fully answer the purpose inten-
ded. 1t is light to handle, and in conse-
quence of its peculiar grip on the hay it
scatters very little from the wagon. 1t is
especially adapted to holding fine hay and
straw; it has no delicate spring or appen-
dage to get out of repair, break or bend.
Fork can be had at Hardware store of f.
j. Hoffman, Lewistown; Joseph Strode's
store, Strode's Mills; J. +. McNear, New
ton Hamilton; and at our store in McVey-
town. w. & G.. MACkLIN.

was blown open on Friday morning II

The body of Willie Friling, who was
drowned in the river at Sudbury, on the
evening of May 9th, was found near Ma
rietta, Lancaster county, on Tuesday of
last week.
y very serious accident occurred on
Wednesday evening at the Mount Holly
paper conpany's mill in Cumberland
county. Mr.. Parker, the foreman of the
mill, was adjusting band on one of the
large rolls, whea his arm was caught be-
tween the band and the cylinder. and his
body carried around the shaft for several
minutes at the rate of sixty revolutions
per minute. When assistance arrived and
AIr. Parker had been eXtricated, he had
become quite insensible; his arm was
terribly crushed, the bone having been
fractured in five places. The injured
man is about sixty years of age, and the
shock to his system has been 50 great that
nc Is in very critical condition.

Odds and Ends.

Andrew Johnson is at Raleigh, n. c.
His speeches thus far are each in two
lines.
Tie town of Brunswick, Georgia, is
visited with a flea plague. Old Scratch
is probably about.
Have any babies been christened in this
district after Andrew Johnson? Some
grown ones tried to assume the name
some time ago, but it wouldn't stick.
Refreshing-to hear the editor of the
Cambria Freeman talking about legisla-
tive corruption! Are bribery, corruption,
intrigue, bargain and sale at Tyrone,
more honorable than at Harrisburg?
The last three or four numbers of the
Indiana Democrat, received at this office,
We're about as torn and ragged as the de-
mocracy of that county generally are the
day after election.
The Cambria Freeman says that some
of the old State robbers were Mr. Morrelrs
friends, and have grown fat and saucy.
They must have gone through purgatory
in order to have reached that point.
The Huntingdon Monitor has subsidized
from the spasmodic into the lethargic
state. It's last intimation is that its demo-
cratic friends of Mitfiin and Juniata cheat
ed huntington out of a delegate to the
State Convention.
President Johnson has pardoned Gayle,
the rebel who offered $1,000, 600 for the
assassination of President Lincoln. John
son, we verify believe, would pardon the
devil if he had chance.
A fellow with the highsounding name
of Snyder has been convicted of rape on "A
little girl at Lancaster, and sentenced to a
fine of 500, costs, and y years III the pen
itentiary.
The republican vote in Kentucky at the
late election was the same as that received
by Lincoln in 1860. The rebel vote then
and democratic vote now are also about
the same.
The immaculate Standard don't like
our proposal to furnish him with bait
should an occasion offer, and calls us
thin-skinned. Better that than to be
thick-skulled.
a portrait of Andrew Johnson was put
up ut sale the other day, but not a funeral
bid was heard. At last little boy was
induced to bid cents, at which it was
knocked down, but on finding what it
was he threw it away.
The National Republican newspaper at
Mobile has been suspended by the mill
tarY authorities for advising the freedmen
on what occasions they are justified in
using firearms. This will please the de
mocracy muchly. On the other hand,
however, Gen. Sickles has committed a
great outrage on that party by rohibit-
ing the distillation of whisky from grain
i'll South Carolina, giving as a reason that
grain is more wanting for food than for
the elixir of Democracy.
The editor of the Cambria Freeman's
majority in this county, last fall, of which
he seems to be proud, was as follows:
