Juniata COunty.---From the Miflintown
papers of last week we copy the follow
ing:
Mr. Solomon Seiber, residing in Fer
nlanagh township, killed a hog last week,
that dressed 573i pounds.
One day week before last, valuable
horse belonging to David Nailor, residing
on Stewart Turbett's farm, in Turbett
township, fell into the well in the barn
yard. The horses body was wedged in so
tight between the pumpstock and tie wall
ofthe well, that the horse had to be killed
and cut to pieces to get the body out.
Samuel @. Stimeling of this borough, is
night watchman at the machine shop, in
Patterson. On Sunday evening last, about
6 o'clock, six tramps entered the shop,
seized Mr.. Stimeling bucked and gagged
him and took three dollars and fifty cents
out of his pocket-book--all the money he
had about him. They then united him
and went on their way rejoicing.
The Democrat and Register of Miflintown
says Mr.. ]. p. johnson informs us quite
an excitement prevails in Perrysville and
vicinity, on account of the supposed finding
of coal on the property of jerome Thomp-
son, in Turbett township. Parties are now
prospecting for it, and it is confidently ex-
pected their hopes will be realized. Should
it be found in paying quantities, it would
be grand thing for that vicinity and also
the county.
A correspondent also sends the follow
ing "The revival meeting, under the SUI
perintendance of the Rev. S. W. Seibert,
at Locust Run, previously noticed is still in
progress. Last Sabbath there were twenty
two accessions to the Church. The Sacre-
ment of the Lords supper was administer
ed to forty-seven communicates and the
prospects still continue prosperous.
The Sentinel says /:
On Monday week a child, aged 10
months, son of Mr.. Michael Bashoar, ol
Walker township, reached to shelf on
which, but moment before pint full OF
boiling milk had been placed. The mill;
was upset. and in its descent struck the
boy on the face and ran down on his breast
under his clothes. His face, breast, and
right arm were scalded in the most shock.
ing manner.
On last Sabbath day week, child oi
the Rev. Mr.. Whitney, of Perrysville,
about one year DID, swallowed pin, point
downward. DIR. Graham was Immediately
called. His first effort to remove the pin
with an instrument was crowned with sue
ces. In his skilful hands the instrument
caught the pin, and drew it out, thereby
snatching the life of the child from a dis.
tressing and painful death.

the road thinks one good blast Of Nitro Glyeer-
inc, will send Glbson's Rock into the creek.
The road Is to run through the rock about
100 feet from the creek, it then cuts through
Mr.. Frank Gibson's orchard, and meadow the
most valuable part Of his property, but Mr..
Gibson says, he does not care where it runs,
only so he gets a railroad.

A Meeting Of Citizens On Wednesday
evening, meeting of citizens was held
in the Court House, to devise means to
protect property in town from fire. 1t was
finally decided to select three different
committees, one to take charge of the en-
gine, one to to take charge Of the ladders
and one for the hooks, whose duties should
be to take those things promptly to any
fire.
Appointing committees is all very nice
on paper, but when it comes to t0ork, that
is another thing. A much better way
would have been to have the young men
form volunteer company and select their
own officers, and with such an organization
the outsiders in case of fire, could CO.
operate. Then the ladders should be pla-
ced on truck, which could be done at little
expense, and thus be brought easily and
promptly to the scene of the conhagra-
tion. The council could easily provide a
place for keeping the truck either at the
end of the market lot, or in the Court
House yard. Until some such course is
adopted, the organization will not amount
to much.

x Another Fire.-On Tuesday evening
Bloomfield was again visited by an incen-
diary fire. At quarter past six on that eve
ming, the flames suddenly blazed forth from
the hay NOW in the stable owned by Hon.
J. A. Magee, and in short time the build
ing and all its contents except COW were
destroyed.
BY vigorous exertions the fire was kept
from communicating to any other build
ings, though only across ten foot alley
were two other stables. The wind carried
the sparks and flames towards the residence
OF Mr.. Magee, and towards the row OF
frame buildings in the rear Of the bank,
and for a short time there was fear Of a
general conhagration. A fall of snow
during the latter part of the evening re-
moved apprehension of danger from stray
sparks lighting on the roofs.
1t is certainly high time some steps were
taken to discover the author OF these fires,
and we believe it the duty of the Town
Council to offer reward for the arrest ard
conviction of the guilty person. There were
rumors during the week of other incendiary
attempts having been made, but from what
we can learn, the rumors are unfoundcd.

A Narrow Fscape.--As the Pacific ex-
press train westward bound was coming
into the city yesterday morning one of the
passengers fired off revolver out of the
window, the ball passing through the win
dow of the private residence of Mr.. Homer
Vaughn, striking the wall opposite and re-
bounding on the floor. The inmates of
the house were moving around the room
through which the ball passed and narrowly
escaped injury. 1t is supposed that the
shot was fired by party of boys in one Of
the sleeping coaches attached to the train.
Mr.. Vaughn has the ball in his possession.

"A Slight Fire occurred in the shoe max

Saturday night, caused by hot ashes
having been put in wooden box. Some
boys coming home from "sparking' at an
early hour on Sunday, discovered the fire
in time to extinguish it before much dam
age had been done. AS long as people are
foolish enough to put hot ashes in a wood

should keep sharp lookout, as they may
thus make their late call public benefit.

Very DeceptiVe.--The. great light seen
by so many persons in this vicinity on
Monday night of last week was caused by
tho burning of large building at Lisburn,
York county. In this vicinity the fire was
supposed to be between here and Sher-
mansdale, while at that place the fire was
supposed to be in the vicinity of Middlesex.
This shows how deceptive light is at
night.

the professors of religion, and to add quite
a number of new converts. On Saturday

The RaIlrOad.-In another column we
give place to a railroad communication,
signed " Spring" in which we think the
writer shows more enthusiasm, than the
case warrants. We should not be sur
prised if the people of Bloomfield yet saw
q locomotive coming into town, before one
was seen at Landisburg. Commencing to
build railroad at that part Of the route,
don't look much like success. A man
wishing TO erect building and expecting
to succeed in his undertaking, does not
often commence with the roof Still we
hope the road will be built as the county
would be much benefited by the success
of the enterprise, but we should have more
faith had the work been commenced at the
end where there was connection with
another railroad
