A New Counterfeit.

The public is cautioned against deception
being practiced by some persons in Peoria ILL.,,
who are putting some stuff in bottles, and la
belling It with an imitation of Alfred. .Speer's
Port Grape Wine, from Alfred Speer, New
Jersey. The general appearance of the same
is such as to deceive the public, until they use
the stuff in the bottle, when it will tell for it's
elf. Speer's Port Grape Wine is made at Pas
sale, N. j., and this together with the number
of his New York office, is printed on his label.
His name is Speer, Vineyards, New Jersey not
"Spier e. Co., Peoria, ILL.," Our readers will
easily notice the difference of places on the la
bel. This attempt to rob him of the high cha
racter his wine has obtained, to oinjure his busi-
ness, and to destroy the reputation of his Port
Grape Wine, by palming off a vile imitation,
WILL we trust, be frowned down and discour-
aged by all honest dealers and the Press every
where. Speer's reputation as a wine grower,
and the character of his wines, is so we'll es-
tablished that several attempts have been made
by unprincipled fellows to impose upon the
public some mixture put up and labeled SINH
lar to his Port GIape Wine. 1t is well known
throughout the United States that Alfred Speer
was one of the first large wine growers in this
country, the first who advertised native wines,
and the first and only one who adopted the
name of Port Grape Wine.
We would impress upon Physicians, in pre-
scribing his wines, to request their patients to
inspect the label, and see that they get Speer's
Port Grape Wine, from his Vineyards in New
Jersey, the oval landscape in the centre of the
label having a lady on horseback, holding in
her hand bnnch of grapes.
Every bottle of his goods has his signature,
'tAlfred Speer, Passaic, N. j." over the cork.
None other is genuine.

death and Fire by Lightning.-On Mon
day afternoon of last week the barn belong
ing to Dan. Billman in Spring twp, near
Bridgeport was struck by lightning and
entirely destroyed by fire. His son Jordon
about 90 years of age was just closing the
barn doors, and was instantly killed by the
stroke. Another son was in the basement
of the building at the time putting away
the horses, and he hearing the stroke came
up and dragged his brother away from the
fire, and succeeded in getting out some of
the vehicles that were in the barn. All of
Mr.. BIS crop of grain and quantity of hay
with many farming implements were de-
stroyed. The herses were turned out in
time to save them, SO that no stock was
burned except two calves. There were no
lightning rods on the barn and Mr.. Billman
had no insurance on the premises.
Several other buildings in the vicinity
received slight shocks but escaped with but
little damage.

Bnrned to Death.-A sad accident oc-
CURED at Thompsontown, Juniata Co., on
Thursday last, by which daughter of Mr..
Mills, a merchant of that town lost her life.
The girl who was about 10 years of age
was trying to kindle fire in the cook stove
with coal oil, when the oil in the can took
fire and exploded, throwing the burning
fluid over her. The child ran into the
garden and a neighbor come to her rescue
and smothered the flames with blanket,
but not before the little girl was burned
SO badly that she died in few hours. A
little boy was in the room at the time of
the accident but escaped without injury.
The mother was absent at the time, having
gone to Mexico. There seems TO be a
singular fatality pertaining to that house, as
our correspondent says this is the third
child burned in that building, within few
years. When will persons learn that coal
oil is not safe kindling?

or and on Again.-A few days since as
4 long freight train was running near Nc
Veytown, a set of wheels under one of the
cars slipped off the track, and, after run
ming thus for mile, cutting ties making
the stones fly, and tearing out or breaking
off about $50 bolts and spikes, jumped upon
the track again, and ran along as though
nothing had happened, the hands on the
train knowing nothing of the matter at the
time.

Can ANY One Tell?-Can any one tell
why men who cannot pay small bills, can
always find money to buy liquor, and treat
when happening among their friends?
Can any one tell how young men who
dodge their washerwoman, and are always
behind with their landlords, can play bill
liards night and day, and are always ready
at a game OF cards?
Can any one tell how men live and sup
port their families who have no income and
do not work, while others who are indus
trious and constantly employed are half
starved?
Can any one tell how it is that nine-tenths
of the mothers are so ready to sew for the
distant heathen, when their children at
home are ragged and dirty?
Can any one tell why four-fifths Of the
young women prefer brainless fop under
plug hat, with tight pants and a short
tailed. coat, to man with some brains?

A. Magee of this borough, G. Cary Tharp
of Liverpool twp, Chas. G.. Brandt Of
Greenwood ex-Sheriff Rinehart of Millers-
town, and DIR. Swartz Of Duncannon. Sew

Shot by Horse Thief.-On Sunday
morning week says the Lebanon Courier
farmer named Christian Risser, residing
in South Lebanon township, was shot by a
horse thief. About 3 o'clock on Sunday
morning he heard noise in his barn, and
thought that one ofhis horses had got loose.
He arose from his bed and was going to-
wards the barn, and when some twenty
yards from it he saw man coming from
the barn door with saddle on his arm.
Mr.. Riser made for him, and catching him
by the left arm a struggle ensued but soon
the man drew a revolver and fired, the ball
from it str liking Mr.. Riser on the right
breast. He fell, but was up again in mo-
ment and again caught the thief, who again
fired, this time the ball passing through
Mr.. Risser's hat just above the rim and
striking him in the forehead, without pene-
trating. Again he fell, but rising again,
the thief fired the third time, the ball
striking him on the left breast and glan-
cling around, passed into a post to the depth
Of two inches. The thief then took to his
heels and escaped. Mr.. r. describes hin.
as man of middling size, smoothly shaved
and about twenty-five years of age.

Men, Not Party.-The indications

Men, Not Party.-The indications now
are that the fitness of each candidate for
the Office he seeks, will be more closely
scrutinized this fall than it has ever been
at any previous election. The people seem
to have realized the fact, that party success,
must no longer be the on ly motive to guide
their action at the ballot box. They have
learned that in both political parties, there
are honest and capable men, and it is such
persons they have determined to elect to
office, even though to do SO they are com
PEELED to defeat candidates placed in nomin-
alton by the party which has heretofore re-
eeived their support. The day in which
voters blindly followed the lead of the pol
iticians has gone, and we trust never to re-
turn. 1t will be well for our county con-
ventions which meet next week to remember
this fact, and place in nomination men
whose character and capabilities will meet
the popular demand.
The party failing to do this will without
doubt meet defeat at the coming elections
and in such case they will only receive what
they merit.
