The Happy Family. 90"

/,On last Friday, the 2Sth inst, according
to arrangement, the children, grand chill
dren and great grand children of our es-
teemed friend Jacob Reisinger, Sr, met in
grove near Ickesburg, and formed the
Reisinger family Reunion.
The morning was exceedingly fair, and
early in the day groups of men, women and
children, could be seen vending their way
to Grand Pap's party. Ten o'clock was
the time fixed for commencing the morn
ing exercises. Ninety members of this
family were present at this pleasant occa-
sion, only two of the relationship being
absent.
Revs. Orande, Herring and Sechrist' were
present and made very appropriate re-
marks, the happy family singing at times
sic books. When the clergyman had finish
cd their remarks the time for dinner had
arrived. tli.4aA AsiF.
The relations sat at the table according
to age, in that way families were not separ,
ated. 1t was certainly beautiful sight to
see old and young sitting at the common
table which was handsomely filled with
the best the land can afford.
The afternoon was devoted to social en-
joyment. Grandfather, aunts, uncles,
nephews, nieces and cousins, were promen-
aiding through the delightful grove in every
direction, All seeming highly pleased with
the occasion. 81 T ~
Certainly this day will long be remem-
bered by all who witnessed this happy
time. c.

Horse StOlen.--On Sunday of last week
available horse belonging to McElvaine
& Son, at the Cove, was stolen from the
pasture. Early on Monday morning, de-
spatches were sent from Duncannon to
various points, where it was thought the
thief might go, offering a reward of $500
for the recovery Of the horse and arrest OF
the thief. About noon on the same day,
word was received from Carlisle that the
man had been arrested at that place, by
Deputy Sheriff Goodyear, and the horse
recovered, and that the. thief was in Jail
awaiting the arrival of the officers to bring
him to Perry county. On Saturday, Sheriff
Rinehart went after the prisoner and on
Sunday morning placed him in Jail in this
borough. The thief was a man named
VIM. Lynch.

The President Judgeship.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM JIMMY
HEFFELFINGER. 30


DEAR SIR.-I am greatly pleased. In
my former communication / showed that
by "prescriptive right Carlisle of Cum
berland" was entitled to the Judgeship,
and whatever doubt then entertained as to
the correctness of my legal views, my mind
is now at rest, the principles Of law there
stated having evidently met the full concur
renee of the legal fraternity of that place as
shown by the appearance of two more can
didates for the Judgeship, making in all
four from the Borough of Carlisle. This
is as it should be, and it is consoling to
know that the members of the bar of that
place are sensible of their ancient rights
have heard of a western family SO numer-
GUS that the children could not have the
measles all at one time there not being a
sufficient supply to go round, and this un-
fortunate contingency seems threatening
the Judicial family of old Mother Cum
berland'-the Judgeships wont go round.
Nevertheless the counties of Perry and
Juniata have great occasion for thankful
ness seeing, that nothing short of q legal
pestilence can extinguish these mum erous
lights Of jurispudence-so willing to shine
for the glory Of the district, giving the as
surance of continued judicial prosperity.
Let not the people OF these two counties
show their want of appreciation of the high
honor extended them, by neglecting the
opportunity of voting for these self sacrific-
ing gentlemen who are ready TO raise the
Judicial standard in your midst at the in
significant salary of -Four thousand Dollars
per annum. The Jews after being entrus-
ted with the Oracles of God threw away
their opportunity but il have no fear that
the people of Perry and Juniata will fail to
avail themselves of these legal treasures SO

escaped from the Eastern penitentiary, at
Philadelphia, by getting into the sewer
which takes the filth from the prison, and
crawling along it to trap which opens on

were arrested the next day, and all are

Death In a Lime Kiln.-An unfortuna

Death In Lime Kiln.-An unfortunate
accident, resulting in the death of father
and son, occurred on Thursday morning
week, at Buffalo creek, about four miles
from Lewisburg, Union county. 1t appears
that Joseph and John Goosler were engag-
ed at work on the draw lime-kiln owned by
them, when the son, John, entered the
plane to remedy some defect. He soon ex-
perienced sense of suffocation, and his
father went to his assistance. The latter
also met the same fate, and before they
were rescued both were dead, having been
suffocated. Mr.. John Goosler was broth
er-in-law to s. s. Barrett, of this city, from
whom we learn the above facts. The fu-
neral of the deceased took place on 6atur-
day, and was very largely attended, both
gentlemen being widely known and highly
esteemed. Hayrisburg State Journal.

A Sneak Thief-A few days since thief
entered the shop of Esq. Folk, in Rye town

found in the coal stove where the fellow
had placed them. The squire says he may
keep the cash and skin on account of his
kindness in leaving the papers.

cheaply tendered-so modestly urged, and
so reasonably too, on the part of men who
have the right. And if some son of Juni-
alta or Perry who has been raised among
their hills, SO far forgets hisproper station
as to allow his name to appear for the can
didacy we hope that the people will indig-
nantly frown down any such unwarrantable
and unjustifable audacity.
Let them be law abiding and give unto
Caesar the things that are his, and unto
Carlisle the things that are hers.
