A Marrow Escape.-on Tuesday last
Mr.. David Souder, of Centre twp, made a
remarkable escape from injury to himself
and horses at the Railroad crossing near
the mill at Newport. Mr.. Souder was
coming out of that place with four-horse
team, and when on the race bridge, stopped
and listened for coming trains. Not hearing
any signals, or any noise of the cars, he
drove along, and just as his wheel horses
were going on to the track, he saw a
freight train coming up on that track, and
within 80 feet of him. AS quick as thought
he sprang from the saddle and seized the
brides of the front horses, and pulled them
from the track. He succeeded in getting
them off just in time, the engine grazing
the names Of the off horse and tearing the
harness. 1t was a remarkable narrow es-
cape, and in this case the engineer was ev-
identity to blame for not giving the usual
signal. Not only Mr.. s., but others in
that vicinity, say neither bell was rung mol
whistle was blown, and the air was SC
foggy and smoky that it was impossible to
see but a short distance.

"A Lesson for the BOys.-Very frequently
those who would like to be thought young
men, have made it custom to behave in a
disorderly manner around the doors of the
Methodist Church. Last week Rev. A. w.
Decker gave these boys lesson, which
perhaps, they will remember. He had
David Sweger, of Centre twp, arrested and
bound over, which cost the young man
some money, some trouble and some un-
pleasant notoriety. A charge of assault
was also made against him for resisting
those whose duty it is to preserve order.
The law provides penalties for those who
disturb church services, either from the
inside or outside Of the building, and the
sooner that fact is recognized the better
it will be for those inclined to make a dis.
turbance.

Counting the Returns. Court of
Common Pleas for this county, met at 10
o'clock, at noon, on Thursday to count up

Mr.. VIM. Willis and Chas. II. Smiley,
Esq, were appointed clerks, the law re-
quiring one from each party. AT o'clock
the returns were all counted up, the GER
tifcates of election made, and the copies
were ready to mail to Harrisburg. In
another place we give the full official re-
turns, by which it will be seen that
the only successful Republican candidate
is the Sheriff, and he by only 5 majority
The variations in the votes cast for the
different candidates, shows that voters are
claiming the right, to act as they see fit
without regard to party nominations.
