A DANGEROUS HARRISON after the
night train coming south left Brooksville,
last Friday night, some one informed
Conductor Parkhurst that passenger had
leaped from the door of the baggage car,
as the train was passing Bropksville Sta
ton. He Immediately stopped his train
and went back in search of the man, and
found him by the side of the road, sitting
up but badly bruised, with an ugly cash
upon his head. He inquired of the man
why he jumped from the car? His re-
ply was, that he did no. think he had
jumped, and if he had, he must have
been asleep, for he did not remember
jumping out. As the conductor had
taken up no ticke;s for Brooksvilie Sta.
ton, the train did not s.ep, and was
going at good speed when the man Jump

things which Jesus did, which,
should they be written, one after the
other as they occurred, I think the
world could not contain the books
which would be written.
Above all things this book con-
vinces the Jew. Turk and Heather
that Jesus Christ is truly God and
man In one person, that he glorious
~ proved himself in his infancy, in
and after his death, and after his as
cension. 1t is to be observed how
the wife of the thief, whose child
was born blind, lame and hunch-
backed, bathed it in the same trough
with the infant Jesus, who was bat
a few weeks old, and how her de-
formed child was at once cured, at
which the mother was astonished
and said, "Verily, this is truly Cod
How she took the water in which
she had bathed her child, put it in
an earthen jug, which she sealed and
buried in the earth. After 33 years
she thought of this jug and dug it
up, when she found the water had
turned into very costly and heal
ing salve. How her husband took a
portion of it and carried it to Jeru-
salem, where he met Mary Magde-
lane, to whom he sold it for 800
groshen. He returned for more
and went the second time to the
city, this time he sold it to Nicode-
mus. He then returned tor the re-
mainder of this salve and this lime
sold it to Joseph of Aninathea. All
three of these persons anointed the
Lord with this salve Is not this a
wonderful providence of God?" &c.
This preface further informs us
that the thief on the cross that re-
pented was the same child that had
received so much benefit by bathing
with the infant Jesus. l may in a
future article give some translations
from the work itself.

County Commissioners.

Our Board of County Commissioners
met in regular session last Monday
Present, ROBERT CARTER, ]. NJ. CLARK
and A. j. POWELL.
Six petitions for new roads, or al
terations of old roads, were presented
on Monday, to wit:
Hiram Niles and others, Huntington
township-for the establishment of a
county road. View granted.
E. J. Foster and others, same town.
ship-alteration. View granted.
G. A. Ewing and others. same town.
ship-alteration. View granted.
Messrs. Stephen Wilcox, VIM. Symms
and James Craig were appointed view
ers, and J. W. Gardner, Surveyor,
for these roads, to meet, for the two
former, at the house of Hiram Niles,
August 10th, and for the latter, at the
house of G. A. Ewing, August llth.
PIP. Parish and others, Green town
ship--alteration. View granted.
James Odell and others, Green town
ship--alteration. View granted.
E. j. Russell and others, Green
township--alteration. View granted.
For these three roads, Messrs. A. P.
Rodgers, John N. Kerr and Anderson
Neal, were appointed viewers. and J.
w. Gardner Surveyor. Time of sur
vey, in each case, August 10th, to
meet in the former, at the house of Mr..
Parish, and in the two latter, at the
house of Mr. Odell.
In the matter of turnpikes, we are
sorry to say, nothing will be done at
this session. One of the members of
the Board, Mr.. Powell, is op-
posed to present action-the others
are favorable to prompt and i'm
mediate work, but as one of
them, Col. Clark, was called to leave
for Cincinnati, on Tuesday, in answer
to subpoena to appear before U. S.
Commissioner HALLIDAY, no action
can, of course, be taken this ses-
sion.
In the matter of districts for the
election of land Appraisers, the Board
has signifed its intention to make each
township a district, except that of
GaIlipolis. Here there will be two dis
tricts--the city comprising one, and
the territory outside of the city the
other.
The Board will probably be in ses-
sion until Friday.

H- The mischief workers

H- The mischief workers-the
"phunny phellows"--were out late last
Thursday night, working up an exhibi-
ton for the people of the city next
morning. They succeeded admirably,
as they always do when they have such
jobs in hand, for you must know that
our "phunny phellows" are not such in
mere name-they have the genius as
well as the name They took that tel
egraph pole that was too crooked to
lay still, planted it in the middle of the
Public Square, and on the top put an
imitation of a well dressed woman-her
right hand raised, and her left hand
hanging by her side holding placard,
containing the words, "Long may she
wave" Thus it stood the next morn
ing, the amusement of the populace,
until our sedate and modest Street
Commissioner came along, and, no
doubt thinking that an imitation even
of the sex should not be thus exposed
to the public gaze, took it down, and
carried it home, where the sphunny
phellows" can get it upon coming for
ward and proving property. fr
