For YOu.-Have you more money than
you know what to do with? If you have,
it makes no difference to you whether this
county has increased railroad faculties or
not But if you have not, you cannot
afford to allow the proposedrailroad project
from Duncannon to Loysville to fall
through. The poorer you are the less you
can afford to see this enterprise fail.
There is not a man in Sherman's Valley,
whether he owns property or not, but
what will receive some benefit from the
building of this road. 1t will develop
wealth lying idle it will open new avenues
Of employment; it will increase the value OF
real estate; it will bring wealth and pop
ulation to the county, and thus tighten
taxation.
The officers just elected by the Duncan
non Bloomfield & Loysville r. r. Co., pro-
pose to give this county these benefits as
soon as the amount required to insure the
grading of this road is subscribed. Will
you do your share towards raising this
sum?

XSwindIers in Perry COunty.-Last weel

HSwindlers In Perry COunty.-Last week
two men came to Ickesburg, together, pre-
pared to swindle some one. At that place
one of the men inquired for some farmer
who had cattle to sell, and having been di-
rooted to Christian Schwab, in Saville Twp.
as a place where he could probably buy
some stock, be drove away. He was close
ly followed by his partner in iniquity, who
arrived at Mr.. Scwab shortly after the cat
tie buyer. The second conner pretended to
be searching for Mr.. Wagner, who had
bought some merchandise from him in
Baltimore, and who had started with him
for this county where he was to get the
money, but that Wagner had left him
while asleep in the cars, and that he was
entirely out of cash. He had lot of goods
at the railroad which he could not getuntil
the freight was paid, and if he could only
borrow 800, he would leave two valuable
watches he bad with him as security, and
would the next day redeem them and pay
we'll for the accommodation.
Mr.. Swartz had not the money, but the
temptation to do a stranger favor, for
which he was to be well paid, induced him
to go and borrow the amount which he
handed the stranger receiving box with
the two watches inclosed. AS soon as the
the transaction was ended, the two sharpers
drove away together as fast as possible
This aroused the suspicious of some parties
at Ickesburg, who went to Mr.. S. and after
hearing what had been done, broke oper
the box in which the watches had beer
locked, the fellow having carried of the
key, and found the watches of no value
Mr.. Swartz Immediately went in pursuit o.
the scamps and overlook them at Thomp
sontown, and succeeded in recovering hi
money.
The moral to this story is, that it is no
well TO trust perfect strangers much furth
er than you would your honest neighbor.

RAILROAD MEETING.
Election Of officers.

On Thursday last in accordance with
notice previously given, the stockholders of
the Duncannon, Bloomfield and Loysville
Railroad, elected President and twelve
directors. The election was held in the
Court House, and the large vote that was
polled proved the great interest that the
stockholders have in the enterprise. Nearly
three hundred shares were voted, and only
those were allowed vote who had paid the
assessment of SIS ON each share. Quite a
large amount of subscription is on the book,
on which this installment is unpaid, but we
hope those subscribers will see the neces-
sity Of promptly paying up, and that those
who have not as yet subscribed will now
come to the support Of the enterprise.
Prompt action will enable the Directors to
get the grading of the road under contract
this season, OF as soon as the engineers
have decided upon the best route to be
taken, and it is probable that engineers
Will shortly be set to work. The following

Barn and Live Stock Burned.-on SUI

Barn and Live Stock Burned.--On Sun
day night last, about 10 o'clock, the barn
of Joseph Kettcring, in the southern part
of South Annville, township, Lebanon CO.,
near the mountain, was destroyed by fire.
In addition TO the barn, one horse, seven
colts, six cows, two calves, and quantity
of hay and straw were consumed. Mr..
Binner was tenant on the farm, but all
the stock, except the horse and one COW,
belonged to Mr.. Kcttering. There was an
insurance on the property in the Northern
Mutual of Lancaster, but not near to the
amount of the loss. 1t is supposed that
the barn was set on fire. The light was
seen in Lebanon, and caused an alarm OF
fire, bringing out our fire department.. =

Shocking Condition OF Affairs at the
Cumberland Co., AlmshOnse.-Last court
the directors of the poor and steward of
the Cumberland county almshouse we've
tried at Carlisle for neglect of duty in ref
erence to the patients sent to county hospi-
tai during the prevalence of the small pox
last winter The former were acquitted,
but the latter was found guilty. The Car
Isle Herald, commenting editorally on the
case, gives the following details
The hospital was opened for the reception
of patients during the month of Septem-
Der, 1872. 1t was put in charge Of per-
son named Annie Hall, who was vagrant,
and who proved to be drunken, profane
and degraded to an extent unusual even
in one of her class. This creature was
permitted to remain in charge of the hos
pital until January.
Her practice was to retire about eight
o'clock, and lock up the patients in the
dark, with no one to attend them during
the night. The patients were in all stages
of diseases, many Of them actually in a
dying condition. In at least two cases
she tied these poor creatures at night, with
out leaving any ore to attend to their
wants. and they were finally found dead in
this condition.
The most shocking details were given in
evidence of the condition Of the patients
who were thus left alone, without any at
tendance or assistance whatever, during
the night. Many Of them, while in a high
fever, were unabled to obtain even drink
of water during the whole nights of suffer
ing. They were left without light, their
apartments were insuficiently warmed,
| and, in one case, a child who had recov-
cred, from the disease died from the effects
of cold.
The bill of fare for these patients was
quite in keeping with the brutality and neg
lect they experienced from the nurse,
| Their breakfast was dry bread, some mis-
cradle counterfeit coffee sweetened with
molasses. For dinner they had soup pre-.
pared from scraps of meat and vegetables,
the meat being taken out before it was
sent down from the almshouse. This was
served from pan that did duty as wash
bowl for every person about the house.
This and dry bread were the only food fur.
nished to patients Of every age, from in
fancy up, in every possible stage of dis
ease.
Supper consisted of dry bread, the same
sort of coffee, and apple butter Milk was
furnished occasionally at breakfast to the
small children. On Sunday no supper
was furnished, the sick receiving no food
from Sunday dinner until Monday morn
ing. Not single article that usually
comes to the relief of a sick man was ever
seen in the hospital during this entire time,
except what was sent by the people of the
town.
This is merely very imperfect outline
of the evidence adduced on the trial
Many of the details concerning the condi
tion of the patients were of the most re
voting character, and astonished all who
heard them.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN
Monday evening while the $40 train for Essex
was proceeding toward its destination. having
reached poiLt between North Beverly and
Wenham' the conductor observed light on
Tue inward track. This exhibition seemed to
MIN to be OF suspicious character, and he re-
ported the case to his father, who is station
agent at Wenham. The station agent sent men
back on the road who, when they reached the
spot where the light was seen discovered that a
sleeper had been laid across the inward tract,
braeed by sleepers on each side, with the ev :
pent purpose of throwing the noon express train
from Bangor off the track. The distractions
were removed. of course, and every effort was
made to find the villains who had attempted
the outrage, but SO far these efforts have proved
unsuccessful.
