Henry Richards, of Welsh Hill, lay down upon
the Catawissa railroad, near Waterman ~ Bea-
ver's -four mill, while intoxicated, and fell
asleep. The engineer of the Empire freight, due
here at 2 a. m, saw dark object on the track,
but did not discover that it was a man until too
late. Before the train could be stopped it ran
over him, breaking a leg, an arm in two places,
and severely cutting his head. He was caught
by the fire box and dragged sTty-five feet, fear
fully lacerating his back and bruising his face,
which was perfectly black. He was unconscious
nearly all day and died in the evening. He was
young, unmarried man, twenty-one years OF
age.-DglyiHs AneTicGH.

at present is beautiful in the extreme. The
deep green foliage on .he adjacent hills, and the
fields of waving grain, are sights that make
the hearts Of the lovers of the beautiful bound
with JOY. There are few places that can boast
Of equal grandeur of scenery. Many who have
travelled in Europe have pronounced it, as view
ed from certain points, equal to that along the
Rhine. Mr.. Forney, years ago, in the Pha.

Through its influence, and the health of the To-

DEFRAUDIsG THE PRINTER.-There is n class
of individuals who appear to delight in defraud-
ing the printer of his just dues. They order a
paper from the publisher, and promise to pay for
it in a short time after. The publisher in good
faith sends the paper with the expectation of re-
ceiving the promised pay. But after taking il
for a year or more, they ignominously leave for
parts unknown without notifying the printer,
or making the least effort to pay him. We have
u few persous ON our list belonging TO this class,
whose names we intend publishing before long
TO prevent imposition upon publishers in places
where they may locate.

FRIGHTFUL RUNAwAY.-On the evening of De-
coration Day, while Mr.. r. ID. Bower was out
pleasure driving, accompanied by his wife and
years respectively, having in hand span of fiery
horses, OH turning the corner of Liberty and
Sunbury street, boy threw stone and hit one
one of the horses, causing both to suddenly start,
breaking the swinge-tree. Nr. Bower held them
firmly until the neck-yoke slipped back on the
tongue which brought the horses against the
buggy frightening them still more and breaking
the lines. The horses were now beyond control,
and dashed up Sunbury street at furious rate,
throwing Mr.. Bower ont and bringing the buggy
up against a high stump in front Of the Douty
House lot, tearing loose from the buggy and
throwing Mrs. Bower and the children over the
dasher with great violence to the pavement
They were Immediately carried into the residence
OF Mr.. Wm. II. DOuty, close by, where Large
crowd had gathered. At this time Mr.. Bower
appeared upon the scene apparently none the
worse for his tumble. IL was feared, however,
that Mrs. Bower had sustained serious injuries,
but DIR. E. S. Robins being called in reported her
severely bruised but not dangerously hurt. The
children escaped with slight bruises, the older
one receiving also cut on its arm.
Much credit is due Mr.. George Clark who sue
ceeded in catching the horses when In front Of
Clark x Bros drug and hardware store, and per-
sistently hung to them until within a few yards
of where they broke loose from the buggy, thus
very much checking their speed, and no doubt
causing the affair to end without more serious
onsequences.-.Sha, Herald of last wetk.

liant light.

ment is rapidly approaching completion. The
pipes have been extended along Shamokin and

sumo that in few month every householder
