Juniata COnnty.-From the Mifflintown
papers we copy the following:
On Monday evening, OF this week, John
Soda, employed by the Wilson Bros. on
the new railroad, while in the act of get
ting on horse fell and broke his leg,
An attempt to fire a building in Thomp-
sontown was made the other evening, but
appears to have failed, simply because OF the
bungling manner in which il was done.
No reason can be given for it, nor are any
parties suspected. The building was un-
occupied and owned by T. s. Thompson,
ESQ.
On Friday morning last the dwelling
house Of E. II. Clifford, in Spruce Hill
township, took FIRE from the f1ue, and was
entirely consumed. Tho out houses and
the household goods were saved. The fire
was discovered about 10 o'clock. The
loss is estimated at about SO, 000 Insured
for 81, 800.
A few days since the house Of Joseph
Kenagey, in Turbett township, was entered
by some person or persons, who relieved
him Of about $140 In money, bread, butter,
eggs, &c. II appears that Mr.. X. has
been keeping "bachelor's hail." and while
engaged In his corn field an entrance was
effected through one Of the back windows.
Within the past two weeks Mr.. Henry
L. Smith, residing about one mile from
McAlisterVille, has lost twenty nine hogs
from some disease that has got among
them When the symptoms Of the disease
first made its appearance the hogs become
blind and are attacked with the diarrhea,
and after staggering around for a short
time fell over dead. Mr.. Smith, as we'll as
many Of his neighbors, are of the opinion
that it is cholera.-Independsnt.
Mrs. Mary 8. Faslck, wife Of the late
VIM. Fasick, of Miflintown, died very sud-
denly on last Friday morning, at the resi-
dence of her son Alonzo, in Patterson. She
retired to bed in apparently good health,
and about one or two o'clock her son heard
her calling for him. He went to her room
and found her very sick. He Immediately
started for a physician, but before he return
ed she died. She was aged about 70 years.
Mrs, Fasick was good old lady, loved and
respected by all who knew her.

Cumberland COunty.-From the Cum
berland county papers of last week, we
copy the following
On Wednesday last, Mr.. ellison Smith, Of
Shippensburg township, fractured his leg
while packing hay on the farm of Fred
Cressler.
Mr.. ]. D. jackson, living near Oak
vile, goes west next spring to superntend
Gen. Grants large farm near St. Louis,
Mo. Mr.. jackson is a good farmer and
will doubtless do Gen. Grants farm jus
tice.
A stable belonging to 7. V. Baker, OF
Shippensbnrg, was burned last Saturday
evening in that borough. The fire was the
work of an incendiary and a reward of 5000
is offered for the arrest and conviction of
the criminal.
Last week, the Thomas Iron Company
at Pine Grove, discharged again large
force of their employees, owing to the dull
sale of iron ore and pig iron. The company
have about 300 tons of pig iron at Pine
Grove which they refuse to sell at the pres
ent low prices.
Officer Killian, arrested John Arnold,
last week, living at the foot of the noun
tain below Flat Rock, on suspicion of hav-
ing fired the mountain, which fire did so
much damage. Another charge is, he us
ed threatening language against Mr.. Jos.
Salisbury, whose property had been jeop-
ardized by the fire. Goals that had been
scraped away were found afterwards scrap
ed in the direction of his barn, for which
suspicion, rests on Arnold. When the
presence of officer Killian became known,
Arnold fled to the mountain but was cap
tured.
On Wednesday morning last, Mrs. Wink,
Mr.. Stone and Mrs. Stone, were on their
way to market in spring wagon. When
within the borough limits, Mrs. Wink was
noticed to suddenly give lurch forward.
Upon reaching Humer's grocery she was
found TO be insensible, and DIR. Dale was
Immediately summoned, when he pronoun-
ced that her entire right side was paralyzed.
Mrs. Wink was taken to her home later in
the day, but never regained her conscious
ness, and died on Friday. The funeral,
which took place on Sunday was largely
attended, the remains being inferred in the
graveyard at the Kutz church, and an ap.
propriate discourse delivered by the Rev.
Jacob Boas. Vu# tCf ~

Singular Accident at Harrisburg
Thursday morning the new engine at the
water works was put into operation, for the
purpose of forcing the water into the new
reservoir, when an unlocked for accident
occurred. About 1S0 feet of water had
been forced into the stand pipe, when the
iron cap, which had been placed in tho
thirty inch supply pipe, to be connected
with the low pressure engine, was thrown
out with considerable force and with loud
report. The entire volume of water rushed
out, tearing out the stones in the wall be-
tween the engine room and the front por-
tion of the building, and scattering them
right and left, making breach Of about
four feet square. Ths sash of the window
fronting tho wharf was driven out and car
ried about fifty feet, and deposited in the
river. Mr.. VIM. Matthews, who was work
ing at bench on the left hand side of the
engine room, was struck by some of the
timber and glass and cut considerably
about the head. Ed. Tunis also sustained
slight injuries. Messrs. William Bostich
and Peter Fortenbaugh, who were standing
In the engine room, received thorough
-drenching. Pieces of timber, stones, etc,
were thrown around promiscuously, and
the water flooded the building.

An Attempted SWindle.-Last Friday
the Mifflin county National Bank received
telegram purporting to come from VIM.
Willis, dated Middleburg, calling upon its
cashier to send him $500 by express at
once to Selinsgrove. Mr.. Robeson, being
aware that Colonel w. was in that county,
sent the money as directed. On the arrival
of the package at Selinsgrove a man ap-
peared and claimed it as his. The agent
refused to deliver it until no could identify
the stranger as Mr.. Willis. The man then
had the termerity to name a prominent
citizen of the place, hoping that this would
satisfy the agent. 1t was emo go" fortu-
nately, and the confidence operator con-
cluded to decamp. The same night fine
horse was missing, and the inference is
that the would be money-thief changed his
tactics and turned horse-thief. Mr. Willis
did not learn of the free use Of his name
until his return to Lewistown, when Mr..
Robson incidentally remarked, "Why,
Willis, you must have been investing at
Middleburg." This observation led to ex-
plantations and mutual surprises. The
money was ordered back to Lewistown, to
the satisfaction of all parties but the thief.
