PERILs OF wATCHMEN.

Owing to the condition of affairs in town
on Saturday night the Borough Council
thought best to have watchmen employed.
About II o'clock passer-by heard a
noise in the Court House which seemed
suspicious. Hestopped and hearkened and
his suspicious Of evil grew at once into a
certainty. Burglars were surely at work
on the premises. In great haste he sought
the patrol and informed them of the peril
that hung over the "big safe' and entreat-
ed them to come to the rescue. One of
them armed himself with club of wonder
full strength, while another hastened home
and returned with his trusty rifle. In the
meantime a citizen armed with double
bareled gun was added to the force. Thus
armed and strengthened very materially
by detail from the Robinson House, con-
sisting of Capt. Sam Rice, Amos Robinson
and A. L. Lane, all properly armed for
battle, preparations were made for an as
sault Some of the force being returned
soldiers, skirmish line was formed and
an approach thus made.
AS they neared the building the noise
was distinctly heard, sounding like the
muffied strokes of burglar, but was found
to proceed from the Prothonatary's office,
which at once relieved all apprehensions
regarding the "big safe." A startling rap
on the window of the Office from which the
sound came announced to the person inside

surrender. The reply that came from
within relieved the attacking party from
all apprehensions, for the words which faint
ly reached their ears were "get the key and
let me out as quick as you can, for am
locked in the vault" Haste was at once
made to procure the key, when the vault
was opened and the prisoner released. He
was suffering terribly from the confinement,
and his hands were lacerated and bloody
from his exertions to escape.
1t seems that the fatigue and excitement
of Friday night which continued during
Saturday forenoon had completely exhaust
ed the Prothonatary and that while look
ing over some papers he had fallen asleep.
While in that condition his assistant had
closed the vault and locked the office for
the night, supposing the other official had
gone home. Shortly before o'clock he
awoke and finding himself prisoner had
felt around and found hatchet, with which
he worked until the handle broke in trying
to pry open the door. He then found
billet of wood with which he was pound
ing on the iron door, when fortunately he
was heard and released from his dangerous
confinement, which would shortly have
proved fatal.

School Directors Meeting.

The following is report of the business
done at the meeting of School Directors on
Thursday last:
The Convention of School Directors met
in special session at Bloomfield, ON Thurs
day, December 4th, 1878, organized by
electing Jacob Bretz, of Howe twp, Pres
ident; Richard Magee of Centre twp, and
JAS E. Stephens, of Buffalo twp, Secre-
taries.
The result of discussing the following
question " If County uniform series of
Text Books is desirable, how shall it be Sc
lected, when adopted and how secured"
was reached in the unanimous adoption of
the following resolution
Resoloed That the School Directors of
Perry County recommend the passage of a
law authorizing the appointment of suita-
BILE persons, with the Superintendent of
Common Schools as one of them, whose
duty 1t shall be to prepare series of Text
Books for the Common Schools of Penn
sylvania to be printed at the expense of the
State and furnished to the people, in such
manner as the law may direct, at first cost.
Is an annual school term Of two months
summer and fall, and three months winter
preferable to single term Of five months,
was discussed and the conclusion reached
that the different circumstances must be
considered in meeting them.
The attention of Directors was called to
the fact that some of our public school
houses have been built to meet the wants
of religious meetings, rather than the
conveniences of a school,
The hour of adjournment having arriv-
ed, the meeting adjourned to meet at the
call of the County Superintendent, at the
next annual Institute.
sB- Full proceedings of the Teachers
Institute will be given next week.

Villianous Crime.-Some time during
last Saturday night, some villain admins
tered potion to valuable mule belonging
to Mr.. George Losh, at Losh's Run, about
seven miles east of Newport. Sunday morn
ing, Mr. Losh found his mule suffering
great agony and Immediately sat about to
relieve him, but all to no purpose, as the
animal died about one o'clock. Mr.. Losh
held a post-mortem examination when the
stomach was found to have a hole in it
Immediately under the inlet. The dose
given is supposed to have been acid of some
kind, as not only was the stomach eaten,
but the death-dealing potion had COM
menced work on the lungs. The sum of
$500 had been offered for the mule on sew
eral occasions, but Mr.. Losh did not wish
to part with him. A reward of 500 is Of
fered for any information that will lead to
the arrest and conviction of the villain who
did the deed.-Ne,os.

The Juniata Brldge.-The bridge over
the Juniata near Duncannon, is about COM
pleted. The floor of the bridge is now
found to be so high that approach to it
from either side is quite difficult, and in
order to make travel easy the road bed will
require to be greatly raised. This the
contractor refuses to do, while the COM
missioners also decline the job. The su-
pervisors will probably be compelled to
raise the road in their respective townships,
and it would be better to do it at once with
out spending time and money in litigation.

A Narrow Escape.-0n Monday night Of
last week the passengers in one of the cars
attached to the Cincinnati Express east, met
with remarkable adventure. A short
distance from the Harrisburg depot, the
second passenger car in the train, jumped
the track and after running on the ties a
few rods tipped over on its side, and was
dragged few yards in that manner. We
had the misfortune to be in that car, and
for few seconds the scene was terrific.
AS the cars left the track several sprang
for the bell rope, but in their eagerness to
stop the train, probably pulled the rope and
held it back SO that it gave no signal, as
the speed seemed to increase until the
car tipped over, when the whistle was
sounded to STOP AS the car went over, all
the passengers with the exception of two,
who hung on to the seats on the upper side,
Zone of whom was the writer,) were thrown
into pile on the lower side where they
were in danger from the broken glass and
from getting their limbs through the win
dows where the ties ETC., would crush them
When the car stopped, the door at the rear
was broken open and the passengers helped
out one at time, having to climb over the
stove in passing through the door. There
were over forty passengers in the car and
strange to say not scratch was received
by any one with the exec ption of one man
cutting his hand by breaking the window
over his head as the car lay on its side.
The r. r. officials were promptly on hand
and in few minutes the passengers were
comfortably seated in another car ready to
continue their journey. When we saw the
condition the car was in and the number
of passengers in it, their escape from in
jury seems almost miraculous. Had the
train reached much speed when the accident
occurred, of course the results would have
been more disastrous. No blame in this
case could be attached to the r, r. com
pany, as it was one of the accidents that
no caution could have prevented.

Some Rats.

"A few days ago, a man by the name of
Harmon, PRESIDENT of this place., bought
a load of cornfodder, and in removing it
discovered ninety-nine large rats, some of
which were as large as thomas-cats, full
grown. But strangest of all he killed
every one.
We rather think this was load of rats,
with few corn-fodder among them.
