DEATHS.
GALBRAITH.-At Landisburg on the Sth inst.
DIR. James Galbrath aged about 7G years.
In Memory of Mrs. NJ. Z. Shuler.

few years ago there stood in our midst fair
and lovely woman anticipating bright hopes for
the future, but alas she is now numbered with the
silent seepers of the dead! For some time she
has been the victim Of that insidous disease con-
sumption. Her sutlerlngs, though often acute,
she bore with Christian fortitude. She desired to
live, but only for the sake Of her husband and
children. Just as the first mild breath OF Spring
had caressed her pale cheek, and the tiny ioweret
peered up its modest head for kindly recognition
and admiration; when all nature seemed bursting
into life, this tendery nurtured and cherished
flower suddenly droops and dies. Although great
ly afflicted for long time, yet she with her family
indulged hopes of her recovery. Alas for human
expectations! dispeed like the mists of the morn
ing by the brightness of the sun. Yet we sorrow
not as those who have no hope, we feel that our
loss is her gain, that she has but left house on
earth for one Of the many mansions OF the skies.
After returning from visit to the south, we again
called to see her, and found her usual suffering,
but patient and submissive. The languid smile of
recognition as we came into her room, and the
low weak tones of her voice as she said. "Oh am
so glad you have come home again." we knew
then in after years would be our sole memento OF
her. There was still voice whispering to us (as
we listened to her sweet tones OF courteous greet
ng) that but few days would pass, and our hearts

The CrOps.-The Harrisburg Telegraph
Of last week says: "Forty mile s journey
through neighboring county has con-
vinced us of the fact that the crops(except-
ing hay) will be immense. Grain, fruits
and vegetables of all kinds are in a forward
state, considering the season. The wheat
is especially very promising oats may be
short, should the weather continue dry !;
but apples, pears, cherries and peaches will
yield very large crop. Our readers will be
gratified to learn that there is every prom
ise of an abundance of fruit, and that pri-
ces will undoubtly be lower than they have
been in the past fifteen years.
We wonder what sort of spectacles the
Telegraph man looks through. AS far as we
have seen, and we have been through Leba-
non and Cumberland as we'll as this coun-
ty, there is no chance of more than half a
crop, of either wheat or hay. Many of the
wheat fields could be hoed without cutting
off stalk of wheat. Fruit is about the
only thing which now promises a good
yield.

A Mysterious Affair.

On last Thursday startling report reach
ed us stating some time during the previ-
GUS night, Mr.. Thomas Shearer residing
near Shermansdale, had been called from
his house by some person, who beat and
stabbed him and leaving him for dead.
Upon further inquiry we learned that
Mr.. Shearer's statement of the matter is as
follows He says that during the night he
was awakened by some person calling him
to come out and that he accordingly obeyed
the summons, and as he stepped out he saw
no one, but had his attention attracted by
noise across the road. Just at that in
stance he heard noise behind him, and as
he looked around, was struck by stone
or club and knocked senseless. When he
recovered and got into the house, he found
that the knife had struck bone and done
but little injury. lie also says that he
was kicked while down and hurt internally.
1t is stated that letter was found saying
that the injuries had been inflicted by the
same person, who, few months since had
set fire to Mr.. Shearer's store, which with
most of its contents was destroyed, and
this was ortion of the revenge which
the writer had visited upon his victim.
On Wedne sday evening, man was
arrested by constable Gibney on warrant
issued by Squire Fleck, and was brought
before Esq. Clouser, of this borough when
bail was entered for his appearance
George Askins was the person arrested,
but there is no doubt of his innocence,
and his arrest only adds to the wrong that
has been done. There are many startling
rumors in circulation in connection with
this affair, and the matter is being thor
oughly investigated. The parties conduct
ing the investigation are confident of soon
clearing up the mystery and expect to find
that the person guilty of causing the de-
struction of the store will be found to be
the same person who has caused this last
sensation.
