Burned TO Death.-On Friday last, about
II o'clock in the forenoon, the dwelling
house of Mrs. Eve Nipple, an old lady re-
siding in Licking Creek Valley about seven
miles from this place, caught fire and when
it was discovered the house was wrappedin
flames. The neighbors gathered immedi-
ately, when the old lady was observed lying
dead inside the door, her limbs having
been entirely burned off, and her body a
chaTed mass. Through the eXertions of
those present her remains were taken from
the burning building, placed in box, and
were buried the same day near where the
house stood. The house and contents were
entirely consumed. Mrs. Nipple was an
eccentric old lady living on small farm
which she owned, with only little dog for
companion. Mr.. McCahan informs us
that for the past ten years she has been I'M
able to do any housework, his family doing
the baking, ETC., for her, and visiting her
house daily. She was over one hundred
gears Of age, but how much older is not
known. 1t was generally supposed that
she had in her possession a considerable
amount of money. After the fire was over,
search was made among the debris, when
the clasp of pocket-book, fve-dollar
gold piece, and ten cents in silver, was
found, the gold piece not having been in
iured in the least by the fiery ordeal
through which it had passed. The origin
Of the fire is unknown. n.-Mifilintown hide

Sad Death.-Ycstcrday George McClees,
apparently 60 Or 70 years of age, came
from his home, at Waynesburg, Chester
county, to meet his daughter in this city,
and escort her to his home.
The lady lives at Princess Ann, Md, and
arrived at the Philadelphia, Wilmington,
Baltimore railroad, by the Delaware train,
accompanied by her two children. She sat
down in the waiting-room, and shortly after
Mr. McClees came i'll and ioyfully greeted
them. The words ofgreeting were scarcely
spoken when he suddenly tottered, and
then sunk down to the floor, and, without
a struggle, almost instantly died.
The scene, as he lay there, the daughter
stricken with grief and terror bending over
him, and the little children sobbing as if
their childish hearts would break, was in
describably sad, and awakened the pro-
foundest sympathy Of all who witnessed it.
The grief-stricken daughter and her chill
dren were taken to the United States hotel
and Coroner Woodward took charge of the
body. Dr. Askew was called in, and pro-
nounced the case enlargement of the heart
and the Coroner's jury rendered a verdict
in accordance with the facts.
Mr.. Gordon, at the depot, took the most
thoughtful care of the family, and had Mr..
Mitchell furnish n coffin, and this morning
he sent the mother and children to the
Reading depot, and also made arrangements
to send the body forward in the same
train,-Harrjsburg State Journal.

Duncannon Items.--Our correspondent
at Duncannon sends us the following The
mixed train going west on Thursday, due
here at G p. NJ, struck an old man who was
wandering on the track mile west of the
Cove station throwing him across south
track; the train was stopped, the man
taken on, and brought to this place, with
broken leg, and number of ugly cuts
and bruises about his person. DR.. Swartz,
was called in and dressed his wounds, and
an employee of the r. II. Co., appointed
to remain with him m DR.. Rutherford of
Harrisburg, arrived on Friday morning at
O'Clock, and after an examination of his
injuries, pronounced his case hopeless,
which was proven by his death at 8 o'clock
in the evening his name was Harris Gold
tharp he was native of Yorkshire Eng
land, and one of the last of the old English
wool sorters who wander from one woolen
factory, to another he was 73 years of age,
and is supposed to have son, somewhere
in New Jersey.
A large number of names are about
being presented, in the shape of petition
to the p r. r. Co., to move their depot at
this place, up town, to their new ware
house; 1t will probably be removed, in
spite Of the heavy remonstrance, of the
lower end, as the Co. own several lots there.

SneciaI Legislation Demanded.

Down in Woodbury., Pennsylvania,
there is a woman who is extremely
deaf. and her atfliction has caused a
very unpleasant mistake, OF which her
infant child is the victim. She took
this babe to church the other day to
have him baptized. While she was
waiting in the vestibule she thought she
would keep him quiet by feeding him
from a bottle Of milk. While the child
was still taking its sustenance, the
mother was summoned to the church
with the announcement that the min
lister was ready. In her agitation she
drew the bottle from the babe mouth
hurriedly, when the gum nozzle came
off, and pint Of milk was spilled upon
the childs new clothes.
When the clergyman took the child
in his arms, he looked down at 1t and
asked the mother what name should be
given it. She, with her mind troubled
about the accident, thought, lie was
asking how the clothing became solled;
so she answered, "Nozzle came off.
Rather surprised, he asked again for
the name, and she, thinking he did not
understand her, bawled out: Nozzle
came off, say" Whereupon the as
tonished diYine poured water on the
childs head and said: "Nozzle-came-otf
Ferguson i baptize thee, etc, etc.
What the woman wants TO know now
is, whether the Legislature or some
thing cant have the childs name
changed to Henry or Lucullus or Will
liam before it grows old enough to swear
at its parents

Iert.Hande<lness.

Many parents try to cure their children
of left,handedness by using severe meas
ures, such as whipping or obliging the
child to 60 for weeks with their left hand
tied to the body. Some even go SO far as
to make it a matter of special shaming
and modification. These should never
be tried until a patient trial of pleasant
er measures has failed. Left-handed-
ness certainly produces an awkward
effect, but it is not one of the cardinal
sins. If a child can be taught to write
with her right hand, to use her knife,
fork and spoon properly, raise her glass,
and offer the right hand in salutation,
it is by no means necessary to cure her
OF using the left hand occasionally.
In many cases, to be ameidert ro,ls is
invaluable to woman. All needle-work
should be carefully taught With the
right hand as needle-holder, but left
handedness should not be treated as a
crime to be punished. The child should
be kindly told its disadvantages, and
shown how awkward it looks. A pretty
coral bracelet of beads strung on elias
tic, worn on the right hand, has mar

High Art In Nashville.

The capital of Tennessee can boast
a Ruskin, as well as beautiful women
and eloquent lawyers. True, the Nash
vile Ruskin is not quite so polished in
his diction as the Englishman; but
then his candor, combined patriotism
may well provoke the envy OF the au
thor OF Modern Painters, etc. In the
proceedings of the county court we read;
Squire Wilkinson introduced the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resoloed, That the portrait now placed
over the chair of the judge of this court
and purporting to be the likeness ofthe
Father Of our Country, General George
Washington, but which looks more like
the jack of clubs, be removed from this
Hall, and the Court House committee
be authorized to have true likeness
Of the pure patriot, George Washington
put ir its place.
The resolution was adopted.

THE IRON CROSS
Its different Grades.

The Order of the Iron Cross was first
founded by Frederick William III, but
had fallen into disfavor until again
brought into notice during the present
war by King William l, now the En-
perorD William l Of Germany. 1t is a
cross of steel, enameled with black and
edged with silver. AS now issued, it
bears on one side the letter "W." with
a crown above it, and on the other an
ornamental tracery of oak leaves and
the date 1870. The Great Cross Of this
Order is twicSagain as large as those Of
the two inferior grades. The one given
to Butcher was edged with gold and
attached to a gold chain to be worn
about the neck like the Order of the
Golden Fleece. The cross next to this
grade is worn on the breast, the other IN
the button-hole. The first grade, the
Grand Cross, is conferred only upon the
winners Of great battles and the takers
of or defenders of fortresses. The first
of the two lower grades is never con-
ferred until that of the lowest grade has
been won; and is perfectly plain, with
the exception of the initial w. without
the coronet.) 1t is conferred alike upon
officers and privates who, by brave and
meritorious actions, have gained the
cross Of the lowest grade, and who are
entitled to it by repetition or excelllng
of such actions.

Hardly Fair.

Doubtless many have heard the story
of the young man who applied to Dean
Richmond for a position as conductor
on the New York Central railroad, and
was asked if he had a gold watch, dia
mond breastpin, and some other similar
trinkets. When he replied in the mega
tive, Dean emphatically declined his
services, saying:
"All our conductors are supplied
with these articles, and we do not
wish to stand any new expense in that
| line"
This reminds an exchange Of a story
told with great gusto 10y jovial friend
in New York, since gone to his last
account. Many years ago, he used to
say, Hank Miller was the great Omnl-
bus King of New York-that was be,
fore street-cars were known, and Hank S
buses were going on all the principal
lines. He was a good-natured man
quiet, and full of fun The drivers OF
the buses were cashiers, too; received
the passengers money, made change,
and at night handed over the receipts.
One evening Hank was inspecting the
stalls of one of the stables, when John
nv Derrick, a well-known driver, and as
shrewd fellow as ever cracked whip,
came in, and, without noticing Hank
empticd his pocket into the next stall,
and commenced to make up his &C.
count.
That's four shin for Hank, and
four for me-" he said, laying them in
two different piles. There's four shin
for Hank, and four for me-" and thus
he continued until the money was di,
vided into two piles, with an odd half
dollar in Johnny's hand.
"Hows this" says Johnny; who
does this belong to? Well, we'll throw
up, heads for me and tails for Hank,
and up he Tipped it;
Tails, by jung" he exclaimed; "ah,
but tina. wasn't fair, we'll try it again,
and up it went once more.
Heads thought ii ,oas mine and
with satisfied air he pocketed his
share, and started for the office to make
his return. Hank took short cut,
and when Johnny entered was behind
the counter ready to receive his money.
Good even'n, said Johnny, touch
ing his hat to Hank as he laid the
money down on the counter.
That's all right, Johnny" said Hank
quietly, eve don't need your services
any more.
Eth! how's that? What's the mat
ter, Mr.. Miller exclaimed the aston
ished John.
"Well, | don't think you treated me
exactly fair Hank dryly replied :;
"You ought TO hare girea me another
chance for that four shin.

Hoofand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined tn
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties Of the Bitters. Each bottle Of the Tonic
contains one bottle Of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ Rum, and favored
in such manner that the extreme bitter
ness of the Bitters Is overcome, forming a
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate, and containing the medical
virtues of the Bitters. The price OF the
Tonic is sl.5O per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used Is
guaranteed to be of pure quality. Apoor
article could be furnished at cheaper price
but Is it not better to pay little more and
have good article? A medicinal prepare
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dients, and they who expect to obtain a
cheap compound will most certainly be
cheated.

ton, &c.
Editors Register:
1t must be source OF great satisfac,
ton to a conductor of a railway on pass,
ing through the large trains, such as
the fast line OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railway, to find every car full and every
seat on the entire train taken by West
ern bound passengers. Such is the bust
ness OF the Baltimore and Ohio rail
way at this time, their trains are full
loaded with the Western bound passen'
ger, some, yea many for the Pacific
coast, across the plains via the
Omaha Union Pacific railway, North
Platte route. This route, the Baltimore
and Ohio, always has been a favorite,
but it is now getting to be more so, and
the reason is obvious, for more perfectly
conducted, well managed corporation,
on which more perfect set OF gentle
men than Sam. Gill and his brother
conductors Of this route is not to be
found on the American continent
courteous, obliging in the extreme, never
finding fault with passengers, are the
conductors Of this great route. We had
occasion last Saturday night to witness a
little of the patience and obliging dis.
position of the conductors of this road
on one of those long loaded trains from
Washington for New York. Such was
the length of the train and number OF
passengers, that the old veteran in this
service, Dukehart, had just reached the
sleepers as his train pulled up at the
Relay, thirty-two mile run from
Washington. Patience and politeness
toward the passengers will win, and
this is one of the causes Of the popular
itv of this great Baltimore and Ohio
railway route which is to bring to West
Virginia thousands the coming sea
son, to look for homes in this beautiful
West Virginia, for the signs never were
so bright, for one OF the largest OF lm-
migrations from the Eastward to the
West, as this 1871. They are coming
from all sections Of the East, from New
England, the British Provinces, Eng
land and Scotland, and West Virginia
is to get a share Of this, and now as the
city OF Wheeling is interested in this
who are they here that will open a
land office in this city for the sale OF
lands in all sections of the State OF
West Virginia? This is a subject well
worth the attention of the city oil
Wheeling, for in it there are thousands
of dollars for the city treasury, which
otherwise it would he without.
