Fatal Accldent.-An accident occurred
early Saturday morning at the saw-mill,
near the Hummelstown railroad station, re-
sulting in the death Of young man nam
ed Deeter, brother-in-law of Mr.. Rhen, one
of the employees. He came to the mill
the previous evening, with the intention of
sleeping there that night. In the morning
he was awakened at an early hour, and
dressed himself preparatory to starting out
on hunting excursion. BY some MEANS
unknown, he was caught by his clothing in
the main shaft of the machinery, which
was being rapidly revolved, and when dis
covered, and the mill stopped, few min
utes afterward, it was found that he was
horribly mangled. His right leg was bro
ken in two places, his shoulders and arms
broken and lascerated, and his back bad
ly injured. He was removed to his home,
where he fingered in intense suffering about
four hours after the accident, when death
came to his relief.-,State Journal.

Mr.. Editor-naar Sir-As it may be in
teresting to the readers of the ITnaes to
know what the improvements in this part
of the State are, will give them descrip-
tion of this place and its Improvements.
Remove is situated on small piece of table,
land between the ranges of the Allegheny
mountains, on the north bank of the west
branch of the Susquehanna river, 145 miles
west by northwest from Harrisburg. The
improvements are the workshops of the P.
and E. r. r., this being head quarters of
the first and second divisions of the road.
The place contains from 1000 to 1900 in
habitants, and is rapidly improving. There
are 80 private buildings and one Odd-Fel-
lows Hall in the course of erection at the
present time. The place contains II dry
goods and grocery stores, 8 hotels, shoe
stores, merchant tailors, 8 barber shops,
2 meat stores, 2 oyster saloons, bakeries,
8 milliner stores, jewelry store, 8 church,
es, public schools and 1 lumber MILL
The Presbyterians had very fine fair in
the basement of their church, which prov
ed very satisfactory to all that were there !;
the house being crowded to it's fullest ca
pacity every night. The fair lasting one
week. One of the novelties was a two
horsepower stationary engine, which was
made by machinist for the benefit of the
fair. A WITNESS.

Mot so.-The report published in the
Cumberland county papers, and which has
been extensively copied in our other ex-
changes, stating that singular and fatal
disease was affecting the citizens of Sher-
mansdale, must have had its origin in some
fertile imagination. Neither the physicians
nor several other residents of that vicinity
of whom we have inquired, know of any
unusual sickness.

Sudden Death.-On Morning last, an in
quest was held by Esq. Leet on the body of
Betsy Mathers, an aged lady, Of the Loop,
in Frankstown twp, Blair county, who was
found dead in her barnyard, on the evening
previous. Verdict Of the jury, wa 8 that she
came to her death from natural causes.
AS buckets were found near her, it is sup
posed she was on her way to milk the
COWS. Her death, no doubt, resulted from
apoplexy or disease of the heart.
A singular coincidence in this case, is
the fact, that her husband, James Mathers,
was found dead some eleven years ago,
near the same place, and a jury returned a
similar verdict in his case, as was returned
in hers.-Registor.

A TwO-Week's Sleep.-Mrs. Fissel, the

York county, who fell asleep in October,
remained in that condition about two
weeks, and then departed for the spirit
land. During the entire period of her
sleep, no nourishment of any kind was re-
ceived. Her interrupted slumber was nat
ural. She was the mother Of Miss Hannah
Fissel, of this place. -. York Press.

six tons of hay, two COWS, three young

The Debt Of the United States.

that were entertained in relatioh 10 Mr.. Gar.

having been virtually killed for the seaooh.
But there will ba no lack of bills. 20 all APP
pearancs. The whole state of the Govern.
Inent finances Is a reproach to business
people. Daring the excitement Of the war,
when every man assented without question
ing to every demHud made by the officers of
the Government, taxes were piled on the peo-
pie with perfect recklessrecs. and these have
been paid during five years Of peace without
a muTmur. The / .ea that il was "disluyal"
to g,insay even the most injudiCious and alb
snrd propositions of inexperienced officers of
the Government has lingerd in the public
mind long after the occasion for patriotic self
sacrifice has died out, and the people continue
to ponr into the treasury with lavish hand
millions Of money more than IL uecessayr.
The expenses during the war were mostly
met by borrowing and the payment OF paper
money. for which the Government obtained
what il wanted. During the fve years Of
peace, the people have paid more taxes than
during the tiye years Of war. but the expenses
OF the Government have not been reduced
The ordinary expenses, exclusive OF payments
on account of the public debt are enormously
large as compared with those OF the five years
Of peace before the war. Congress has con-
tiuued these heavy taxes upon the people
who have hitherto paid them willingly. The
customs duties have been maintained, not for
tho benefit of the public. but for tia: Of the
Eastern manufacturers. The average eIpen-
SEES Of the Government before the war, eIclu-
Hive Of debt payment, were SEQ, 600 600 per an
mum, nearly all paid in customs. In the last
