On Hallow-eve, some william, filled Mr..
William j. Stewards new cistern, half full
of dirt. The same evening, two gentleman
who were not hallow-eving, but making a
call, rang door bell, and received in an
swer to their summons, a bucket of cold
WATER from an irritable old gent, in the
third story, who misstooll them for some
one else.
On Wednesday evening, Owen Ashton,
Willis Topley, and Samuel Rumbaugh,
were brought before Nathan Vanfossen,
justice of the peace, on charge of having
insulted Mrs. Aaron Dorsey (colored) but
were discharged on promise of their good
behavior, in future.
The residents in the vicinity of the
school-house, have been much annoyed by
having window lights Mirrors, &C., broken,
by some mysterious agency the mystery
was solved by Mr.. Spyth, who discovered
school boy, playing on window on the
opposite side of the street, with concern
which he called gum shooter, and from
which he could throw heavy shot, with
sufficient force, to break window light at
distance of fifty yards. Az investigation
was had, which resulted in the fining OF
eight or ten of the fellows, 81, 80 each.
On Friday, Mr.. Robert II. Branyan, a
mailer while handling sledge hammer ac-

permanent lameness.

= An Alleged Swindle.-On Friday evening
last, information was made by Solomon
Bernheisel, of Tyrone twp, that he had by
fraud and the Misrepresentation of two men
claiming to be agents for a York State
firm owning and making Patent Hay
Fork, been induced to sign note and con-
tract and asking warrant for their ar
rest.
A warrant was accordingly issued and
placed in the hands of Sheriff Rinehart,
who at once started in pursuit of the men,
tracking them as far as Perrysville, Juniata
county, where he found and arrested them,
returning with his prisoners on Saturday
afternoon.
A preliminary examination was had be-
fore Squire Shuler, who held the two men
who are named George Simmons and George
Hathaway, in six hundred dollars bail.
This order was subsequently annulled and
the men permitted to go at large on deposit
ing the papers signed by Mr.. Bernheisel, in
the hands of their counsel subject to the
decision of the authorities after further
hearing, which is expected to take place to
day or tomorrow, the men meantime re-
naming here for that purpose.
Several instances have occurred the past
season, where parties have given notes un-
der similar circumstances, and though nc
value had been received by them, they
were forced to pay them, the notes having
been sold to parties who had given proper
consideration.
1t is singular that men will sign papers
1.-THE solicitation of perfect strangers, which
no inducement could get them to sign, il
requested by well known neighbor.
We again caution our readers agains
signing note until they have received ;
consideration of known value, but if they
will sign such notes, let them place sea
after their signatures, which destroys th'
negotiable character of the note and allow
them an opportunity to prove offsets o
deductions, before payment.

Disastrous Fire.-On Thursday evening
last, between six and seven o'clock, the
large bank barn of Mr.. Henry Keller,
in Hockersville, about one-half mile west
of Centreville, was destroyed by fire. The
live stock was removed, in safety. A
small stack of grain near by was totally
consumed. The fire was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary, as there had been
no occasion for any of the family to have a
light near the barn. 1t is supposed that
the loss is nearly, if not altogether covered
by insurance. Carlisle Herald.

Singular Cause of Death.-A rather
singular cause of death Of an old lady
named Mrs. Cathrine Spinner, in East Buff

in the Lewisburg Chronicle of last week.
She was pecked on the back of the hand by
chicken, causing but a slight abrasion
of the skin. The wound caused erysipelas
which increased until death ensued.

Small Means.

The power of money is on the whole over
estimated. The greatest things which have
been done for the world have not been &C
complished by rich men, or by subscription
lists, but by men generally of small pecunia-
ry means. Christianity has been propagated
over half the world by men of the poorest
class; and the greatest thinkers, discoveries,
inventors and artists, have been men of
moderate wealth, many of them little raised
above the condition of manual laborers in
point of worldly circumstances. And it
will always be so. Riches are oftener an
impeachment than stimulus to action, and
in many cases they are quite as much mis-
fortune as blessing. The youth who in
herits wealth is apt to have life made too
easy for him, and he soon grows
it, because he has nothing left to desire.

The Charleston Phosphates.

An interesting article on this subject ap-
pears in the Rural Carohanian, for October,
from which we condense the following &C
count:
The deposit is superficial and PECULIAR
The nearest approach to it exists in South
America, where large deposits of bones are
found, of such a character that if they had
been decomposed, they would have formed a
phosphate of lime similar to the South Caro-
lima deposit. Professor Agassiz coniectures
that the phosphates of Charleston are the
result of decomposition of vast denosit of
such bones. Whole acres are thickfy stdtissd
with fossils. Among these are the bones
of the mammoth, mystodon, megatharium,
mylodom, megalonyx, phocodom, various
saurians, the shark and many other fishes,
also of the horse, dog, sheep, OK and hog,
differing little from our present domestic
animals. Pieces of pottery, stone, hatchets,
arrow-heads and other implements of human
skill, together with one or two human bones
have been found.
To the scientific man this extraordinary
deposit is of great interest. In an econo-
mical point of view its value to the agricul-
ture Of the South is immense, as it contains
the means of restoring to fertility our ex-
hausted soils. 1t was known long ago to
the planters in the vicinity and to men of
science, but only few years ago was its
real value suspected. Themarls of Charleston
care entirely different from the posphate
rocks have long been highly priced as ferti-
lizers, containing as they do from six to
fifteen per cent. of phosphate of lime. The
working of these mari beds led in connection
with another circumstance to the use of the
phosphate rock. That other circumstance
was the reading of little book called
''Ansted's Lectures on Practical Geology"
This work mentions the fact that very ex-
tensive deposits of phosphate rocks exist
near London, which are turned to good ac-
count as fertilizers. This first opened the
eyes of scientific men, and led to careful
analysis of the Charleston phosphates, which
showed from fifty to seventy-fve per cent.
of phosphate of lime, and from six to seven
per cent. of organic matter.

"God Cannot Bless U.s."

The eminently wise and successful DR..
Matthew Brown, long President of Jefferson
College, appointed one winter some meetings
to pray for revival of religion in the inSti-
tuition. They were continued evening after
evening for week; but, though some of the
Professors and piOuS students anxiously be-
sought God, the heavens seemed to be iron,
and the earth brass. They were in deep-dis
tress. Scores of noble young men were
passing beyond the reach of their influence,
and yet without Christ. In this state Of
hings, one evening when the meeting was
the tall, nervous form of the Doctor
Up. Brethren" he exclaimed, eve
are all wrong. God cannot bless us. We
have been praying all this time for ourselves
We must think of His glory and honor
Let us begin to pray for the conversion of
the world!'
1t is one of the memorable legends of the
Institution, which sent out so many devoted
ministers to our own and heather countries,
that it seemed at once as if the heavens were
opened, the black clouds began to flee away,
and the light to shine. The prayers as
sumed different tone. The hearts of the
speakers seemed to bow with the weight of a
world in ruins, and God dishonored and dis
owned. And from that hour the Holy Spirit
began to move in the hearts of the uncon-
verified, and glorious revival of religion en-
sued.
Brethren in the ministry, can God bless
us, when we are making the chief topic of
duplication the conversion of our focks, the
salvation of the thousands around us, in
which the concern we feel is more or less
personal and selfish? "Help us, 0 God of
our salvation, for the glory of Thy name!
and deliver US, and purge away our sins, for
Thy names sake!' Let us plead by the
greatness of His mercy, and His faithfulness
Let Thy name be "great unto the ends of
earth" And let US awake sleeping and un-
souls to see what the Lord is al

Hints on Teaching.
BLESSED sleep,
From which none ever wake to wee

l. Teachers should not expect to CIV !
the class all they get in their preparation.
Not 1.-THE of it, perhaps, will be used.
2. Nor can they give it as they get it.
The process of preparation is but construct
ing the skeleton-the teaching is living
process, filling in of the flesh and blood, a
clothing of the dry bones with beauty,
warmth and power.
8. Adaptation is primal law of prepar-
alton, and to be able to apply this, we must
in our own experience touch the experience
of others. Our own hearts must have Crap
pied with the truths we would teach.
4. 1t is good thing for teacher to er-
pertinent on others, on his own children, dur.
ing the week, before he teaches his class.
And last, and first, and through all, the
great power in preparation, as in the per-
Torrance of any and all the duties and of
fees of the teacher, is LOVE-. d. Vincent.

A Great Scotch City.

Glasgow, though not interesting to Stran-
gers, is an extremely prosperous and busy
place. 1t has grown faster than any city in
Great Britain, having increased its popula-
ton from about 100000 in 1861 to over
$4,000 at the present time. Its citizens
now claim that it is the largest town in the
United Kingdom, after London, having more
people than Liverpool to-day. Its growing
more rapidly than ever, and will soon have
its million. Some of the sanguine Scotch
even predict that it will yet outstrip the
British metropolis itself. Its manufactures
are very varied and extensive, as is evident
from the pail of smoke in which the city is
constantly enveloped. The houses look
sombre and black, and all the streets have a
begrimmed appearance that does not add to
their beauty. Glasgow is famous for its tall
chimneys, two of them being 43O and 465
feet, which is considerably above any tower
or spire in Europe. The lofty chimneys be-
long to chemical works, and are required to
carry off obnoxious vapors and gases, which
would otherwise settle down upon the city
and prove very deleteriouS to health. They
can be seen for miles, and are the landmarks
of the city.
