Brief Items.

Juniata County S. S. Convention meets
at Perrysville on the 2Sth and Goth inst.
Kan unusual amount of work is being
done on the streets of this borough, this
spring. 1t was badly needed.
%The wheat fields in the county look very
bad, and the probabilities are, that there
will not be half crop
The rain of Saturday night and Sunday
frightened up the vegetation, considerably.
About one inch Of rain fell, but more is
badly needed.
XQuite scare was had in Buttzs store at
Newport ON Thursday evening by the up
setting of coal oil lamp, and the taking
fire of the oil. 1t was fortunately extin-
guished before much damage was done.
On the evening of this 10Th inst, at Me-
chanicsburg the sash and door factory of
Miller & King and the spoke factory OF
Sidle e. Co., were burned. II was not
known how the fire originated
>1Iightning rod swindlers are prowling
around the county getting persons to sign
contracts for lightning rods at specified
price, say $40. When they are put up they
find the contract reads $50 per SCI, and it al
ways takes several "sets" to rod building.
IA team of horses belonging TO the upper
end of the county were scared so badly by
the cars at Leiby's crossing ON Thursday
that the leaders turned suddenly around,
but the breaking Of the pole prevented a
more serious accident.

For the BloomReld Tmea.

= Mr.. Editor Having occasion to visit
your beautiful little place some time ago,
and in making some observations found
quite numberof Waggonersbut few teams
for them to drive. Feeling somewhat hun
cry dropped into eating saloon for the
purpose of getting a sandwich but the
Proprietor informed me that owing to
there being so few Bakers in the place that
they were out of the article, but there was
quite large amount Of Rice in the place.
From the amount of Aickle l found there |
supposed they intended to start n mint, /
also supposed that work was q little slack,
as / saw but two Snsltb's and few WeaUer's
in the place. think the inhabitants of
tho place must be the descendants of some
Giant for | found but one Small man in the
place. While walking up street was very
much surprised by coming in contact with
two quite large Bears also found it to be
quite healthy, as / saw but one case of
Siceney there, and / suppose by proper
treatment he will survive. From the
amount of Derrick's in the place, suppose
it is quite an oil producing town. | OBJ
served that they were putting up very
fine church if they only do not Burn it be-
fore it is completed, but they assured me it
was all Wright as far as that was concerned,
for they had spoken to the Wise and they
assured them there was no danger. You
have nice situation for quite large town,
but according TO my estimation the only
thing that will improve it much will be the
completion of the Dmcannon and Bloom
field Railroad which suppose is not far off.

DELnvILLE, MAY tG.


q Editor Of the TIMEs:-I noticed an item
in your last weeks issue enormously states
that fire had broke out near Montebello
on the 9th inst, and was raging in the sur
rounding woods, from which charred bark
and leaves were carried TO Shermansdale.
Now let me say for the sake of making true
statements of events, that your informant
was mistaken in reference to the locality
of the fire.
This great conflagration commenced in
Mcllyains colliery, in the upper end of Al
lens Cove--from what cause is not precisely
known here.-lt broke out on the 9th and
ragged until the twelfth day of May, over
running many thousand acres Of tmberland,
doing immense damage, defying all at
tempts to subdue it until nearly all of the
mountain on either side of the cove togeth-
er with some portion of the Pine Hill was
overrun. The large amount of dry rubbish
upon the numbering ground of the late firm
of Kolter, Latimer & Hoshour caused such
intense heat that much of the young growth
of timber must be destroyed. The scene of
this fire presented at night was grand, and,
at ttimes threatened the destruction of fences,
and even buildings, which stood near its
course. OCCASIONAL

THE CAUSE OF TEMpERANCE Gnf

THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE finds
some of its most insidious and dangerous foes
in the many so-called "tonlcs'' and ":appetiz-
ers," made Of cheap whisky and refuse liquors,
finished up to suit depraved appetites, under
the name of medicines. DR.. Walkers Califor-
mia Vinegar Bitters are none of these. They
are not beverage, but genuine medicine,
purely vegetable, prepared from California
herbs by a regular physician. For all diseas-
es of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder, skin
and blood, they are an infalliable and unrival-
led remedy. 1Sd At

IA Horse Thief.-On Monday of last week
rather fine looking man calling himself
DR.. Duncan, and claiming to have come
from the west arrived at Marklevillc, and
proposed to settle there as a physician.
He stayed around until Wednesday after
noon, when he borrowed fine young
horse of Mr.. Philip Boyer, for the purpose
(as he said) of driving to Samuel Orwan's,
but his memory must have been very poor
as SO far he has forgotten to return. His
absence is not so much regretted, but the
loss of the horse Is more serious matter.
A reward of $50 is offered for the arrest of
the thief and recovery of the horse.

have been one OF the most skilfully-planned
