A half-crnzy fellow who has been
running about the oil region for a
month or so, calling himself Captain
Sandy, swan the Allegheny river at
Oil City, and back again, one of the
coolest days of last week. He is
SCARED with bullets and knives from
head to foot and claims to have re.
ceived his wounds in fights with the
indians. His latest exploit would in
dieate that he was not to be drowned
or frozen to death.
The wnolen mill at Kittanning was
entirely destroyed by FIRE, and the res.
idence of William Pollock, adjoining,
was badly damaged, on Wednesday Of
last week. Tho loss is estimated at
twenty i've thousand dollars, fully
covered BY insurapee. The editor OF
the Armstrong Republican closes his
account of the ERE By saying, "Our
water works savedrthe town, and they
have more than paid the cost iof con.

There was precipice to the left, over
which the horse jumped down fully
twenty-five feet perpendicular and
then rolled over and over down

ssventy.fve feet more.
Mr.. Crawford expected to find his
horse a massrof bruised flesh and bro

on his feet, the shattered buggy re-
paired with ropes and straps, and Mr..

A Card from Representative Citizens
Of Cross Plains.

VI OAO1S
To the Urion and American:
We had thought it unnecessary to notice
the slanderous article signed 'Justice" in
yours of the 10th inst, but as we learn
that there is an effort to give his pro-
duction circulation, that it may be used to
the prejudice of the citizens of our village,
We feel it encumbent upon us, as honorable
men, to denounce the charges made by
Mr.. Blackman over the signature of "Jus-
tioe," as tissue of fGlSehOOds and miSrep-
resolutions of facts. Mr.. Blackman's
motive can be easily understood when we
say to your readers that he is the brother
in-law of Mr.. j. NJ. Walton, and is set
down as one of his teachers in the Gallatin
school.
If we felt that your readers would be in
tereSted i'll the exposure of the motives
Of certain parties who are now trying to
prejudice the mind of the public against
our village and school, we would freely
make such exposure, and lgW do so if we
are again assailed, and especially will we
pay our compliments to Mr.. Blackman and
his letter of the 10th inst, in which he
ISLANDERS the people of this community.
We do not propose to base the success OF
the school at this place upon false state
ments and Misrepresentation, neither do
We shield ourselves behind fictitious
names.

Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
OttwO-thirdS OF the eases OF Consumption, Many
persons complain of dull pain IN the side, con-
stlpatiOn, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade, feelings Of drOwsiness and restlesSness,

These symptoms usually originate from dis

Persons 80 affected, if they take one or two
heavy colds, and ID the cough in these cases be
suddenly checked, will find the stomach and
liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive

A REMARKABLE COW,
To the Union and American:


LIVINGSTON, Oct. 21.-Asamatter of in
terest 10 the farmers and stock-raisers of
the country, wish to mention a COW that
proved to be rather valuable animal. and
lives TO quite an Old age, and ought, l
think, to have been permitted to die a nat
ural death.
Twenty years ago, DR.. l. NJ. Goodpas-
ture, of COOkville, was married to Miss
Ova Arnold, of Hilham. At their mar
riage, Mrs. Arnold gave her daughter
heifer, then three years old, with her first
calf. This COW Mrs. Goodpasture
kept till last fall. The animal
was then twenty-one years and six months
old. Her eye-sight had failed little, and
she was somewhat hard of hearing, but her
health was good. she was traded to a
miller, who fattened her ON meal, and made
a good beef of her. This COW was the
mother Of seventeen calves, and gave milk
every year for nineteen years. OF her off
spring, fifteen were heifeIs and two bulls,
and all her calves were raised. The young
est is heifer, now three years old, which
has had one calf, and is good mixer.

A RAsCALLY RUSSIAN sUTLER.
London Times

During the Crimean campaign one of
the principal regimental canteens inthe Rus
sian army was suddenly closed in the faces
Of officers and men without notice or warn
ing. Prince GOrtchasoff, furious, rode up
to the purveyor and demanded an explana-
ton, whereupOn the latter replied that, in
stead Of yielding him, as was commonly
supposed, 920 of clear daily profits, his
business was landing him in downright
ruin, inasmuch as the greater part of his
receipts consisted of false bank notes. The
General, at his wits end, telegraphed TO
the Emperor, and on receiving reply, told
the purveyor that if he would open his cali
teen the spurious notes in question should
be cashed by the bank as if they had been
genuine. Armed with this assurance, the
purveyOT briskly resumed his business, and
labored in his vocation with such zeal and
diligence that at the end of the war he had
the satisfaction Of being able to present for
payment TO the Imperial Bank 10000
worth of counterfeit paper, scarcely any of
