A Wild Man In Perry County.
Rockville, Aug 8, 1872.

ItoChNHio, mug o io'S'
Considerable excitement prevails among
the different parties frequenting the noun
tains in search of berries five miles west of
Harrisburg and directly opposite Rockville.
Not long since John Quincy Adams of khe
latter place while at his leisure was in pur-
suit of berries and having wandered con-
siderable distance into the mountains be-
came terribly alarmed at the appearance of
a man supposed to be perfectly wild, and
going about in condition that according
to description, would be sufficient to put to
flight the boldest backw oodsman. At least
the sight of the human monster was too
much for "Quincy" who vacated the
grounds with the speed of flying Buffalo.
He never venturing to cast look behind
but leaping the smaller bushes, dodging
overhanging tree, losing his hat, and reliev-
ing himself of his bucket he very rapidly
increased the distance twixt him and his
starting point, with the dreaded terror a
considerable way in the rear believing
out his wild yells of triumph, but losing
ground in the pursuit BY the remarkably
rapid and lengthy strides Of the venerable
"Quincy" mot the Quincy that formerly
sat on the Presidential stool however) he
soon found himself in sight of the cozy lit
tie village where in an elderly lady's man
sion he might find relief, and as was neces-
sary camphor stimulant. He has not
been TO gather berries since, and no further
developments of the mystery have been
gained, save that two of the Telegraph OPP
erations, (of which there are fOuremployed
in the place by the different II. r. Co.'S. }
saw fit one day since TO rusticate among
the shady trees and dispatch any whor-
tleberries that might fall in their way, and
finding themselves smart distance outside
the bounds Of safety and the hearing the
"calls" of their instruments when they
were startled suddenly by some unusual
noise, and after accommodating some little
with view of finding out the why and
wherefore dn which they failed, they con-
vened and held council Of war and con-
cluded to quit the place. X.

Sad Accident.-The Harrisburg estate

Sad Accident.-The Harrisburg estate
Journal of the 9th inst, says Jacob Bern
heisel, son of Peter Bernheisel, (well known
in this county, was instantly killed at
about half-past clock yesterday morning,
by being struck by engine No. 80, o. Krick-
baum, engineer. The accident occurred in
the vicinity of the Herr street crossing, un-
der the following circumstances; Mr.. Bern
heisel, who was employed as brakeman on
shifting engine No. 131, of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad (and had been in the employ
of the company over four years., was stand
ing on the south track with lantern in hand
waiting for the freight train to pass, evil
IDENTIFY intending to get on the hind car.
About this time the Erie Mail due at 2:30
a. M, approached him (unobserved, it is
thought, when he was struck as above sta
ted--the back part of his head receiving a
severe fracture, besides deep cut on the
forehead, and cash over one of his eyes.
Mr.. Krickbaum saw the man on the track
short distance before the engine, and he
whistled "down brake" A train close be-
hind the Erie mail-the Philadelphia ex-
press of the Pennsylvania railroad-how-
ever, obliged Mr.. Krickbaum, to move on,
in order to avoid collision. Mr.. Bern
heisel was taken to his home on Cowden
street, between Cumberland and Broad,
where his widow resides. He leaves no
children.

Terrible Storm in Harrisburg. Mon

Terrible Storm In Harrisburg.-On Mon
day night of last week terrific storm passed
over parts of Dauphin county doing great
damage. The State Journal gives large
list of damages done, from which we take
following: At the State Capital hotel, the
CONSERVATION created among the guests
was terrible. Those lodging in the upper
part of the new wing of the building were
driven from their rooms by the flood of
water pouring in the broken windows on
the west side. The hail stones broke in
every pane of glass on that side, in the
upper part of the building. When the hur-
ricane struck, it tore off the entire tin roof,
and carried it bodily into the capitol'park,
a distance of over hundred feet. The
chimnies were carried away and It of
the cornice of the building blown down.
In the ladies' parlor quite a number Of Ia
dies and gentlemen were congregated.
The falling bricks came down the CHM
MES amongst them and drove the party
panic stricken into the hallway, where they
remained in the utmost terror during the
prevalence of the hurricane. One of the
large water naples trees on the Walnut
street front was blown down, which mar
rowly escaped striking the Gross House,
opposite. The upper part Of the State
Capitol was flooded and many of the
: guests suffered severely in the loss of cloth
ing by water. After the storm crowds of
persons visited the Capital Park and gazed
with wonder upon the huge pile Of tin that
had been waited thence from the building
opposite.
A portion of the roof Of Brandt's Hall
was blown off and many other buildings
damaged. Many pieces of ice the size of a
hen egg were picked up after the storm
was over. The Niagara express, train from
Baltimore was crossing the Cumberland
Valley railroad bridge, at 10 35 p, M, with
an engine attached and the frightful sway
irg to and fro of the coaches, with the roar
and din of the elements, caused panic
among the passengers which pen cannot
describe. All on board expected to be
hurled into the Susquehanna-into eter-
nifty An eyewitness describes it to have
been awful-in the fullest sense Of the
word.

United Brethren will hold campmeetng

mansdale, and Q miles N. W. of Delville,

/Presbyterian Church.--The carpenter
work on the inside of this building is now
done and all that remains to complete it, is
the painting. The audience chamber is
the finest in the county. There are four
rows of pews divided by main aisle in the
center, while an aisle passes along each
wall. The outside ends of the outside rows
of pews are thrown little forward to en-
able the occupants the more easily to face
the pulpit. The tops of the pews are oiled
walnut. The room is very tastily finished
and while it is well lighted by large windows,
the light is softened by stained glass of a
neat design. The only drawback to the
general appearance is the desk at the pull
pit, which is dbsurdly small for large room.
The work on the stair way and main room
of the church has been done by Messrs
VIM. Burn and John J. Craig and reflects
credit upon them as workmen.
The lower part of the building is divided
into lecture room and Sunday School
room the latter being very large and well
furnished, this having been done at the ex-
pense of the school, 1t is to be hoped that
the society will at once take means to liqui-
date the debt which now rests on the build
ing, as an old debt is great impediment
to the worldly and spiritual prosperity of a
church.
