&Fire in DuncannOn.-On last Tuesday
afternoon, the stable in the rear of the
Pennsylvania Hotel at Duncannon, took fire
from the sparks of a locomotive, and before
it was extinguished it extended to the hotel,
which was occupied by John Shively, Esq.
Fears were had of a general condagration,
and word was sent to Harrisburg for aid
which was promptly forwarded. Before
the Harrisburg steam fire engine arrived,
the inside of the hotel was burned out, but
by the aid of the steamer the fire was kept
from extending to the adjoining buildings
Most Of the furniture was safely removed
There was an insurance of $4,000 ON the
building, and 81, 900 on the contents, in the
Lebanon Mutual. The loss is estimated at
$1,000. The property was owned by
Messrs. Jones & Young.
Duncannon has had more than a fair
share of fires this year, and it seems as
though they have all occurred from a neg
lect of the railroad company to place spark
aIresters over their locomotives.

p The FOurth.-In this borough the day
passed off in pleasant and creditable
manner. The Sunday Schools Of the
Methodist and Presbyterian churches had
pic-nics which were well attended, and ap-
peared to be thoroughly enjoyed. The
business places of the town were closed,
and no instances of drunkenness or rowdy-
ism were seen on our streets.
In Duncannon and in. Newport, whiskey
stirred up some little trouble which was
happily quieted before any damage was
done.
At Marysville, trouble originated among
some of the "Colored bredren," who were
there from Harrisburg, and one was sh OF
in the leg and another badly bruised in the
head and breast.
During the evening storm passed over
the lower end of this county, and over
Dauphin county which did some damage.
In this vicinity the storm did no damage,
but cooled off the air in an greeable man.

In TrOuble.-The county Commissioners
of Mifflin county have got into trouble.
While the Supreme Court was sitting at
Harrisburg, they granted mandamus
against the Commissioners of that
county, directing them to erect bridge
across tho Juniata river at Newton Ham
iton. This order they neglected to obey,
and an attachment for contempt was issued
against them, returnable in Philadelphia
Last week they were produced in Court by
the sheriff of Mifflin, and failing to justify
their conduct were each fined $500, being
allowed until October LIST in which to pay
it or show good cause why it should be re-
remitted, the Chief Justice remarking that,
as they were doubtless considered as good
citizens, they would always find it more to
their advantage, to yield implicit obedience
to the law than by seeking all sorts of
shifts by which to evade it. So it seems
there is law even for county Commission
ers, and those who drew more salary than
the law allows, as was the case in this
county would do well to remember that
fact.

OCAL DEPAR TMEN II.
The Bloomfield times. [volume] (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1867-187?, 1872-07-09


A Bold Adventure.-A young man nam
ed Miles Gray performed most daring feat,
recently, on the line of the Northern Cen
trail Railroad near ShamolSin, which for
boldness and successful daring and prompt
ness is certainly remarkable. A train
with twenty loaded cars moving at a
rapid speed struck COW when the
engine coupling broke, and the engineer
and fireman under the impression that the
engine had left the track, jumped to the
ground without shutting off the steam. The
engine was going down grade and the
speed increased until it was running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, at which speed
it passed through Shamokin. The Sun
bury passenger train coming toward the
fugitive locomotive, was only a few miles
distant, and a painful apprehension fixed
itself upon the minds of those who wit
messed the accident that collision was
probable and consequent loss of life. At
this juncture Miles Gray, came to the
rescue. AS the engine dashed along he
grasped at one of the iron supports and
almost simultaneously sprang on the loco
motive. Three minutes before the passen-
ger train arrived he succeeded in bringing
the engine to stand STILL York Paper.

death From LOck-Jaw.-On Wednesday
last Mr.. John L. Diven of Landisburg
died from lock jaw, the disease originating
from bruised finger. The injury occurred
nearly three weeks previous, and though
the hurt was apparently slight the pain
for few minutes was intense. For a
week after the injury Mr.. Diven was
around attending to his business, but COM
planned somewhat of a soreness in the cords
of the neck, but what is rather singular is
that the wounded finger gave no further
trouble after the first few minutes when
the pain ceased. Mr.. Diven was an estima-
BILE citizen and his death occasions a loss
which the entire community share with the
family and friends.

ACCIDENT Wednesday last, Mr. John
Huston of Carroll township was thrown
from horse rake and had several teeth
knocked out and his arm badly hurt. The
accident was caused by the shaft being SO
short that it drew from the holder, and
dropping down scared the horse so that he
started to run. Mr.. Huston was thrown in
front of tho rake and had not the single
tree bolt broke, SO that the horse got clear
from the shafts he would have been much
more seriously injured, as the teeth of the
rake would have caught him. Although
the accident caused painful injury, Mr..
Huston thinks he escaped very fortunately.
