fell to the ground, the h ind wheel passing
over his breast. The boy jumped up and

Judges Salaries.-We see it stated in
some of our exchanges that the salary of
President Judges is to be $4,000 per annum
commencing with June 1st 1871. This is a
mistake. That is the salary of the Judge
of the twelfth judicial district, but all 9TH
er President Judges except in the counties
of Philadelphia and Allegheny, receive
$4,000 per annum. Associates receive $5
per day for each day employed, Provided
that they shall not receive less than $500
per year.

Barn Burned.-Shortly after II o'clock,
on last Friday night the barn belonging to
the heirs Of Jacob Bernheisel, deceased, in
Tyrone township, was discovered to be on
fire. The neighbors responded promptly
to the alarm but were unable to entinguish
the flames, and all that could be done was to
get out the stock and to save the house from
taking fire, by throwing water on the roof.
The wagon shed which was detached from
the barn was also destroyed. A large
amount of personal property was burned,
consisting of eleven hundred dozen of
wheat, thirty loads of hay, a separator, one
large road wagon, all the gears, and a
large number of farming implements. The
stock was all saved. The fire originated in
the centre floor of the barn, but in what
manner is unknown. The loss falls very
heavy on the sons, who were farming the
place. The total loss is hearty $4,000, on
which there was no insurance. Tho barn
was one of the best in the county.

rate of thirty miles an hour. The engine
struck the wrecked cur with terrible force. set

material and burning fragments of the car in
all directions The force of the collision in
slantly threw the engine over the bridge into
the creek. Thcugh the ice was very thick, the
weight Of the locomotive broke through and
sank. The tender of the engine also tell into
the creek. Immediately behind the engine
were the baggage and express cars, which were
followed by sleeping car full of passengers.
The flames from the oil tank soon set fire to
these cars, which after striking the wreck, fell
over into the creek a burning mass, II is said
that some Of the passengers in the sleeping cars
succeeded in leaping out in time to- save them
selves from death, but the rest were carried

burned to death. In few minutes the bridge
is said TO have fallen carrying with il the Chi

withdrawing Trees.

Don't whitewash the bark upon the
bodies of fruit or ornamental trees.
We are at loss to know for what pur-
pose some persons thu. coat the bark
of fruit and shade trees about their
premises with lime unless it is to make
them look nice 1t certainly does them
more harm than good, as it serves to
obstruct the respiratory organs, and in
a measure, prevents their thrifty growth.
Should the bark become diseased and
rough, or covered with moss, scrape it
lightly with hoe or a scraper of suit
able description; after which wash
thoroughly with a strong solution Of
soap and water. If this is done prop
erly every season it will prove a great
benefit, by destroying the insects which
prey upon the bark, and otherwise pro,
noting a healthy condition thereof,
and increasing the vigor and vitality Of
the tree.-Fdrm Journal
