! ROMANCE OF BUGTowN "A belle of Bug
| town-a delectable village in Susquehanna
township. this county-acco mpanied her "'loY-
yer" to Greenvile, Indiana county, one day
last week, for the purpose of becoming flesh of
his hesh etc.. but when the pair came before
the Squire she concluded not to go into the
matrimonial harness. and consequently did
then and there go back on th Q "lovyer' afore
said. The disappointed gallant therenpon
swore or affirmed that she might go to hi /;
but determined to do worse she went back to
BugtoWD, horse and buggy having been pro-
cured for that purpose at Greenvile. Arrived
at Bugtown, the party who accompanied the
fair dams sell tarried over night, only, how
ever to wake up next morning and find his
vehicle scattered about promiscuously, some
parties in the meantime having smashed it all
TO smithsreens. And thus ends the romance
| SO far as vet developed, but a lawsuit will no
doubt be the next thing in ordeI--Bugtown
and criminal cases being synonymous terms.
PETRIFpD FIsH.-The Aileghanian has un
earthed another petrefacton-ths time in
shape of huge fish which is now in the pos
session of Mr.. F. II. Barker, and is so perfect
in all its outlines that no other conclusion can
be arrived at than that it is really petrified
fish, although much larger, being fully two and
half feet in length, than any fish ever known
! TO abide In the waters of this region. 1t was
dug out of stone quarry mile two west
/ of town, and IS certainly great curiosity, to
! say the least. The Allegt anian's theory is
that the fish was antediluvian and that it was
deposited on the spot where it was found by
the great flood in which Noah won undying
Immortality as a successful waterman. For
our part dou't pretend to Noah hate
about it, but advise the curious to go to Bar
I ker's store and see the petrefaction for them
selves.

/ day) afternoon, and will he kept open at stated
/ intervals so long as it proves Il source of reve
nue. 70 the deserving cause it is intended to
aid. The old-church building has been fitted
up for the purpose in a most excellent and
! comfortable manner, and the Fair itself prom
/ ises to be one of the most attractive and we
/ hope the most successful ever inaugurated on
/ the mountain. A liberal and charitable
I public appealed to on behalf OF this com
mendable enterprise, and we trust the appeal
will be met with that trustworthy generosity
which has always characterized our people
der such circumstances. May its receipts be
: fully up to the most sanguine hopes OF its pro-
jectors.
ARRFsTFD FOR Arson Two young men
ma med Joseph Dunlap and Wm. Lloyd, resi-
/ dents of Susquehanna township, were arrested
in this place. on Monday last, by officer Geo.
Gurey and after hearing before Esq. Kin
kead were committed to Jail oil suspicion of
having set fire to the barn of Mr.. John KuntZ
man, of the above named township, on Thurs
day evening last. The barn. with all the
grain, hay, ETC., it contained, was totally de-
stroyed, involving a loss estimated by Mr..
Kuntzman at about 81 900, on which there
was TO insurance. The fire occurred about 6
o'clock, but had gained such headway before
it was discovered, that it was Impossible 20 save
the structure. Whether the parties arrested
are innocent OF guilty, there is no doubt that
the fire was the work OF an incendiary.
