AN UNTORTUNATE TRAIN II tCO Smash
4 i'S and Serious Injury Of He Eagtaeer and
Fireman A freight train west on the Pa.
It. L. ran OF the track between Cresson and
GaihtZin. on Sunday night last, and some
five or six caCs were sadly demoralized by
the operation. Two travellers who were
migrating on tae "frec gratis for nothing"
principle, we are told. were buried in the
wreck, but fortunately escaped with few
scratches. After several hours severe labor
the train, or that portion of it not demoral-
lzed, was got in running order and proceeded
on Its way, but when IN the vicinity of Viii
Taore on Monday morning, owing to the
fact that no fagmau had given the required
warning. it came in collision with the puSher
of the local freight east, which for some
pDrpose had passed On to the western track,
and the result of this collision was the seri-
ous injury Of the engineer Of the train, David
Randolph. and the fireman, John Flanagan,
rs well as the Almost total demolition Of four
o; the cars and the engine attached to the
train. The pusher also sustained CONSIDER
able damage. The train engine was thrown
from the track and almost broken to pieces
anC how the engineer and fireman escaped
with their lives seems to US a mystery. Ran
dolph bore but few outward injuries. yet it
was feared that he was injured internally to
an extent that might eventually prove fatal.
Flanagan, who was held by the machinery
for an hour or two before he could be extri-
Gated, had one of his arms broken and the
flesh on his thigh, by which he was held,
badly lacerated. Both theiDjured men were
taken to Altoona, whore they reside.

LTGnTNINe's D0tNas.-Witfiin the recol-

not escaped, and in addition to other acci-
dents OF this nature already recorded we to-
day give an account Of the destruction by
lightning of a barn and all its contents only
few miles from our town. In view of these
oft-recurring conhagrations it behooves every
property holder to adopt means to guard
against loss in this way. The only sure pre-

out this county by Mr.. Richard Jones, of
Johnstown. No man who regards his own
interests should neglect this matter, and no
one who examines the Munson rod can fail
to be convinced of its superiority over all
others. Mr.. dos. Hoffman, whose barn was
destroyed by lightning not long since, has
contracted with Mr.. Jones for putting up
these rods on his new house and proposed
new barn, convinced as he is that it is the
best and cheapest before the public. Every

10 BE REvIvED.-We have no direct au-
thonty for the assertion, but from what we
see and what we hear we are led to believe
that the -Aaeghdnian newspaper, which gave
mp the ghost some five months ago, is to be
resurrected. and will probably make its ap-
pearance next week. Mr.. Hutchinson is to
be aided in the publication by Mr.. Ed
James, and with two such competent prin-
ters, clever editors, and deserving fellows,
we certainly hope that the Aueghanian will
henceforth be permanent and paying insti-
tuition. We fear, however. that the defeat
OF Grant, which is as certain as fate, will
conaign the AReghdnia,, as we'll as its party,
to death that will never know another res
direction.

DoTHooD DAYs-We were forcibly and
pleasantly reminded of youths happy hours
by seeing at the store of Mr.. Huntley. day
or two since, one of those oldfashioned reels
upon which. many time and oft. we have
watched our good old graudame wind and
re-wind the stocking yarn preparatory to
putting it up in "cuts." We were also re-
minded, in looking over Mr.. Huntley's i'm
mense stock. that no more complete, varied,
extensive and desirable assortment has ever
came under our observation, aud we would
remind all buyers of groceries, hardware,
tiuware, etc, that at no place in the county
orout of it are they go likely to be suited at
the lowest prices as with Mr.. Huntley.

COMBINED REAPER AND MowER.--A num-
ber Of our citizens witnessed on Monday the
operation of one of these machines in field
belonging to Mr.. Barker, adjoining town.
The machine worked admirably, and cut
and laid the rye (and it was a heavy crop)
in the speediest and neatest possible manner.
The machine is called the VALLEY Chief. i"
and is manufactured at Mount Joy, Lancas-
ter county. This one is the first that has
ever been introduced into this county, and
in the estimation of competent judges is far
superior to any Reaper and Mower ever used
here. Goo. c. X. Zahm. Esq, is the agent
in this county for the manufacturers of this
machine, and can give all needful informa-
ton in regard to it.

DAsTARDIY OUTRAGEs.-During the past
ten days or two weeks there has been quite
number Of complaints made in regard to
an offence for which it is hard to conceive a
motive, much less form an excuse. Several
ladies have had very valuable dresses ruined
IN consequence of vitriol having been thrown
upon the skirts Of them while promenading
our streets, but thus far it is not publicly
known who the mscreants are who have en-
gagged in this nefarious and helisL business.
One or two links, however, have been OBJ
tanned in the chain of evidence, and we may
yet have the satisfaction of announcing that
the base wretches who could conceive and
execute such dastardly outrages are serving
the State in capacities for which they are
best fitted and certainly most worthy and
deserving.

drawing them out. The power of tell
ing q story well, with all due enabelilsh-

license for-belongs to some OF this
class in perfection. Shrewd remarks
upon things and persons, founded very
often upon a nice discrimination Of char
acter; satire, keen if not refined, often
very delicate fattery (if flattery be not
too harsh word for what is much
more like real good breeding than the
smiling insincerities of higher hfe);
and never, under any circumstances,
those covert sneers under the mask OF
politeness, of all social impertinences
the most insuferable, which pass too
often unrebuked, because to resent
them involves almost an equal breach

elusive accomplishments of the gentler

Mr. DuftoA, an English traveller who
travelled in Abyssinia 10 1862 and 4 500,
gives the following sketch Of the King
of Abyssinia, against whom Crest Brit
ain has lately declared war. Mr.. Duf-.
ton says: m r
Ibeheld the famous Theodore, the re-
nowned warrior and absolute lord OF q
great dominion, dressed in plain cotton
shirt and trousers, and these not over
clean, seated not on throne, bat on a
low divan raised about foot from the
ground. Thinking, at first, that 1t
could not be the King himself who was
seated before me, the profound bow
with which entered was rather uncer-
tainly directed His request that
would be seated treasured me, and,
doubling my legs up, in the Oriental
manner, squatted down among the
rest We were now well supplied with
arracky and tedge honey wine), in the
drinking line, as we'll as with plain
breakfast of tef bread and stewed meat
to satisfy the more solid demands OF
hunger, In the mean while, the King,
who was slipping arracky all the time,
ehatted away very pleasantly. His ap-
pearance was that of man about for
ty-fve, of middling stature, and OF a
well-knit but not overpowerful frame,
conveying more the idea Of being tough
and wiry than of strong physical de-
yelopement His complexion is dark,
approaching to black, but he has moth
ing of the negro about him; his features
are altogether those of European.
His head is well formed, and his hair is
arranged in large plaits extending back
from the forehead. The forehead is
high, and tends to be prominent. HIS
eve is black, full of fire, quick, and
piercing. His nose has little OF the
Roman about it, being slightly arched
and pointed. His mouths perfect, and
the smile which during the converse
ton continually played upon it was ex-
ceedingly agreeable, | may say tascinat'
ing. BE has very little moustache or
beard. His manner was peculiarly
pleasant gracious, and even polite; and
his general expression, even when bus
featutes were at rest, was one OF intel
ligence and benevolence. On the whole,
the physiognomist could find no trace
of fierce passion, save in the lightning
glance of his eyes. watched TOR the
keen shot of light coming from them at
times, and reflected upon what he could
be capable of, but they did not strike
me as treacherous eyes felt that he
could act savagely under irritation.

RUSSIAN DIsclpLINE.-Are recent French
writer gives the following anecdote,
which illustrates the discipline of the
Russian service, though the reader
must make a little allowance for the
long bow which Frenchmen are apt to
draw when speaking of Russia. A Rus
sian General, while reviewing the
troops, noticed soldier who was deco
rated with military medal.
"Where did you obtain that?"
"At Inkerman, General"
Every good, you are a brave man,
and the General handing him dollar,
added: "There is something for you to
drink my health with
The soldier extended his hand to re-
ceive the gift, when the General ex-
claimed: Eight days in the guard
house for this man, who has failed to
preserve his position"
Ten PAGES down the line the same
scene but the soldier when offered the
money stood like statue. He was or.
dered to take it by the General, but he
was stolid. Eight days in the guard
house for this man; cause, disobedience
of orders received from. his superior
officer"
