<COurt.-The bell was rang for Court on

Fell In.-The Warehouse of the Cum
berland Valley Rail Road at Shippensburg
fell in few days since, burying n large
amount of grain in the ruins. No person
was injured.
/ On Strike.-The striking apparatus of
the Court House clock needs reconstructing
AS it is, it comes the nearest to perpetual
motion of anything we know of. A few
nights since it struck 240 without stopping,
and it is no unusual thing for it to strike
90 to 100. In the condition it now is, it is
no credit to the manufacturer, and the fact
is that the striking part of the clock never
has been as perfect as it should be.
Run Away.-A mare belonging to Fickes
& Bro got frightened on Tuesday last and
ran away with the cart 10 which she was
barnessed. While running at full speed
the animal slipped and fell, injuring herself
badly. When this occurred she was with
in few feet of team belonging to VIM.
Lupfer of this borough, and only this fall
prevented collision and probably serious
damage to his horses. The driver of his
his team congratulates himself upon es-
Gaping with severe scare.

of last week Mr.. John Rice brought two
grass-hoppers into our office, which he

thought by some that next summer will
bring these insects in such swarms as to be
very destructive to vegetation, and the fire.

this winter gives ground for such belief,

spread over the adjoining meadow and had

Mr.. Lukenbaugh who rented the premises
was absent at the time. Two men were
seen to go into the mill shortly before the
fire was discovered and it is supposed they
set the place ON fire. Mr.. Henshaw who
