Cumberland COunty.--From the Cum
berland County papers Of last week, we
copy the following
On Monday evening, as the Cumberland
Valley passenger train was proceeding, at
a rapid rate, to Harrisburg, John Beetem,
of this place, came very near being killed
at the 6rst crossing below Mechanicsburg.
He was crossing the track in a buggy, and,
the night being very dark, he was not
noticed by the engineer in time to reverse
his engine. The buggy was struck and
literally broken to pieces, but fortunately
for Mr.. Beetem, had jumped from the We
hicle just in time to save himself. His
horse, too, most miraculously, escaped
without injury.--Oarlisle Volunteer
Mr.. George Clepper, who resided near
New Kingston, died under peculiar cir
cumstances on last Thursday a week.
About two weeks ago while working in
one of his grain fields, he thrust a. wheat
head into his mouth for some purpose, and
was unable to get it out, the end working
back in his mouth and lodging near the
back part of his jaw bone. DR.. Sibbetts,
was ca lied in, but found it impossible to
remove the wheat and informed Mr.. G. that
his end was near. Mr.. G. remained in in
tense agony until the above day, when
death relieved him of his suffering.
AS the result Of the examination held on
last Tuesday week, by Superintendent
Kast, the following disposition of schools

Investigation Wanted.-Late develop
ments seem to render it more than prob
able that John Ba ird who was found dead
near his house in Centre twp, two weeks
since, came to his death by blow inflicted
by person who is prowling around that
vicinity. At any rate the matter needs
further investigation, and here is chance
for our sheriff to show whether he has any
detective abilities or not. This person is
supposed to be one who is needed in North
cumberland CO., to finish term in Jail. AT
any rate this chap has been seen in
the vicinity and was known to have made
threats against Mr.. Baird and also against
brother of the deceased who resides in
another part of the twp. At the house of
the latter watch is kept at night, so well
convinced are the family that there is
danger of another murder being committed.
The man who is feared was sent to the
penitentiary from this county, several years
since, for horse stealing and is, no doubt
one of the party who is committing the
depredations in this section of the country.
With as many vigilant officers as are To-
Gated in this vicinity, the party ought not
long to be left at large.

Purity of
DeSimMiinm.

Over the beauty of the plum and the
apricot there grows a beauty more ex-
quisite than the fruit itself-a soft, del
icate plush, that overspreads its blush
ing cheek. Now, if you strike your
hand over that, and it is once gone, it
is gone forever, for it never grows but
once. Take the flower that hangs in the
morning, impearled with dew, arrayed
as no queenly woman ever was arrayed
with jewels. Once shake it, so that the
drops roll of, and you may sprinkle
water over it as carefully IS you please,
yet it can never be made again what it
was when the dew fell silently upon it
from heaven. On a frosty morning,
you may see the panes of glass covered
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., lakes, trees,
blendid into a beautiful, fantastic pic
ture. Now lay your hand upon the glass,
and by the scratch of your finger, OF by
the warmth of your palm, all the deli
cate tracery will be obliterated. So
there is in youth a beauty and purity of
character which, when once touched and
defiled, can never be restored !; a fringe
more delicate than frostwork, and which,
when torn and broken, will never be re-
embroidered. A man who has soiled
and spotted his moral garments in youth,
though he may seek to make them white
again, can never wholly do it, even were
he to wash them with his tears. When
a young man leaves his fathers house,
with the blessing of his mothers tears
still wet upon his forehead, if he once
loses that early purity of character, it
is aloss he can never make whole again.

Another Big Bore = Tnnneling the
Rocky Mountains.

A scheme is now on foot for running
a tunnel through the Rocky Mountains.
This may seem a prodigious enterprise
at first to the casual reader, but the
parties who have the matter in hand are
sanguine of the most complete success.
For some time past gentlemen have been
investigating this matter, and they have
arrived at the conclusion that the pro-
ject is # feasible in every particular. The
idea is to tunnel the mountains from a
point about one mile below Black Hawk
to the Middle Park, running in a north
westerly direction. The tunnel to be run
will, itispresumed, cut many richveins of
gold and silver, and thus a great mining
interest be developed. Money for the
prosecution of the work is furnished by
English capitalists, who are sanguine of
the ultimate success of the enterprise.
Some idea of the magnitude of the task
may be gathered from the fact that the
tunnel, if completed, will be twelve
miles in length. It is intended to make
it large enough to be used for railway
purposes, and SO, if a road is eve to be
constructed to the Middle Park, it will
find it's most convenient route through
the tunnel.
1t will be called the Sierra Madre
Tunnel Company, and the incorporation
papers for its organization have already
been fled.-DenUer NeWs.

Wars Now Going On.

Despite the efforts of the Universal
Peace Alliance there are now a number
OF wars going on Men have not yet
even begun to beat their swords into
ploughshares and their spears into
pruning-hooks. We could wish that
the Peace Alliance could have its way,
but unfortunately see as yet no sign of
such an occurrence. There are now 60
ing on
1. An internal war between the Re-
publican Government of Spain and Don
Carlos, the legitimate heir of the
Bourbons to the throne. This war
has continued for some time, with
varying success. At present there seems
no hope of q decided victory by either
army.
2. The war between Cuba and the
mother country. The struggle has con-
tinued for years. It has been prose-
cuted with vigor on both sides and
ferocity on one. The end is not yet.
3. The war between Russia and
Khiva. Russia, though she will doubt
less ultimately be successful, will have
to earl her conquest of the Khanate of
Khiva by marching over the deserts of
oAO AIl1L III uSub1IS LIS SOlSllOIS.
4 The war between Capt. Jack and
his Modocs and the military power of
the United States. The unequal strug-
gle, unequal more especially on the part
of the United States, has continued for
months. It has cost us a Brigadier-
General of the army, a number of Off
GERS of lower grades, and not a few nom
commissioned officers and privates, not
to mention the great expenses of war in
Oregon.
5. The war between the Dutch and
the Sultan at Atcheen. This conflict
will, after the close of the present armed
neutrality, break out before many
months with renewed fury.
6. Thewar between Sir Samuel Baker
and his forces and the slave-dealers OF
the White Nile.
To all these wars must be added the
occasional conflicts that occur on the
banks of the Rio Grande between the
Mexicans and the Texans the chronic
revolutions of Central and South
America f.; the difficulties between the
English in India and the wild tribes Oh
their northern frontier-dificultie
finally to be settled only by force o.
arms and the internal struggles, lead
ing to occasional bloodshed, in mos
countries of the world, not excepting
our own. Peace may come, but it has
not come.-NeW York World.

What these Oranges Mean.

MI. George Kimball, of this city, has
been sick and unable to do his farm
work this spring. Seventeen of the Burr
oak Changers rugged their teams on Ion
day and broke up twenty-seven acres of
ground and left it ready for planting.
There is something practical in that sort
OF Grange-work, and it has a smack of
brotherly kindness in it that wouldmake
almost any half-decent man want to be
a farmer and a Granger. Mr.. Lamon,
an artist of this city, got word of what
was going on, took his instruments and
went to the spot and succeeded in getting
an excellent photograph of this practical
demonstration of the Grangers.-LaaO-
renee (Kansas) Tribune.
