Mr., Editor ~ ask you to please publish
this for the Kansas sufferers. ] have no
doubt but you have seen before this reach
es you the condition of affairs in Kansas,
through the western papers. Our crops
are total failure, from reasons of the
Chintz Bug and Grasshoppers, and out
here in these new counties there has been
no time to lay up anything for the rainy
days, as a great many came here to get
homes and brought but little capital, and
when such a plague as the grasshoppers
came among us and destroy our crops and
leave us without anything to subsist on.
l ask you to publish this, and If any of your
subscribers may see flt to donate anything,
such as underclothing, shoes, stockings,
etc., will be thankfully received. have
many acquaintanoes in Perry county, and
when a boy lived in Fishing Creek Valley.
With this remain yours truly,

Cumberland COunty.-From the Cum
berland county papers of last week, we
copy the following
We are informed that a serious, if not
fatal, accident occurred on the farm of
Moses Bricker, in Monroe, township, about
81 miles east of Churchtown, on Sunday
morning last. Daniel Gutshall, the tenant
on the farm, and his hired man were out
riding together. Mr. Gutshall was mount
ed on a riding horse, and the hired man on
young colt The colt was very vicious
and stubborn animal, and Mr.. Gutshall and
his man were endeavoring to break him Of
these vicious habits. The colt became un-
manageable, rearing up and down, and kick
ing at every object in his way. While thus
capering about, he came up alongside of Mr..
Gutshall and his horse, who had been some
distance ahead Of him, and succeeded in
giving Mr.. Gutshall a violent kick on the
ankle, in1icting very serious and painful
wound. Mr.. Gutshall was carried to his
house, and now lies in very critical con-
dition. We learn that he is raving ma
MAC, and that his friends fear that death
from lockjaw win be the fatal result

guarantee that everything coming from
there will be as represented.

SOld.=A spry-lool1ing young fellow ar
rived at Lancaster, few days ago, and
registered at one of the first hotels. Rep
resentipg himself as one of the owners of a
noted trotting horse of the country, and
protesting 10 be in Lancaster for the pur-
pose of buying the fast Lancaster nag,
Lizzie Keller, lie was soon surrounded by
the sports, who were so much pleased
with him, after days acquaintance, that
they insisted on entertaining, him at sup
per at Lancaster's aristocratic restaurant.
The stranger was fascinating, and the bot
tie passed round freely. In the course Of
the evening a bet was made between some
of the party on pitching quoits, and the
young man (no longer "stranger'') was
asked to hold the stakes, whic.I he cheerfully
did just to oblige his new-made friends
But the next morning it was found that the
young man and the stakes had oansosed.
The Lancaster sports are not happy now.

Hint.-In the court at Meadville, Judge
Lowrie gave the constables a gentle hint
that might be applicable about here. Every
one reported everything lovely in his juris-
diction, whereupon the judge remarked
that such state of affairs was admirable,
fit was true but he did not think it was
exactly as represented. For instance, the
law requires constable to see that guide
boards are placed at every road crossing.
He said he had been out driving in various
directions and knew of many crossings at
which there were no such guide boards.

Accidents. s.-The habit so often INDUCED
in by farmers and wagoners of intrusting
their teams to the care of children is most
dangerous one. A very serious accident
arising from this cause occurred at Cham
bersburg, on Saturday last. Two men
were leaving town with four-horse team
and allowed boy aged six or eight years
to drive, when the team became unmanage-
able and ran off, the child being unable to
control them. They ran over two children
in the street and one of the men fell from
the wagon The man and one of the
children received comparatively slight
though painful injuries, but the other
child was hurt so badly that her recovery
is considered doubtful. The men who
should have had the team in charge were
intoxicated, which ofly makes the case
more aggravated and criminal, r...

Stealing Child.-The Selinsgrove Times
says: son Tuesday evening about s
o'clock, some unknown person at
tempted to steal the infant child Of M.
II. Cooke at this place. Mrs. Cooke was
up stairs in her room and the child lay in
the cradle. Mr.. Cooke had just gone
down into the cellar on an errand, when he
heard his wife scream. 1t appears that as
soon as he had gone down stairs an un-
known man came out of an adjoining
room, displayed knife, and seized the
child and ran down stairs. The alarm
given by Mrs. Cooke Immediately brought
up her husband, but the man was gone,
and the child was found lying on the plat
form Of the stairs. Why any one should
wish to steal SO small child seems little
surprising.

The A, Y 6 P. dredge has beer engag-
ed at odd times, when the weather wouid
admit, upon the bar and channel just out
side the piers. The material raised in
stead of being wasted in the lake, is tugged
IN by the Griffin, and used for filling the
new docks. This company is getting in
10 shape Tor the opening of the season.
The new ore docks along the west side
Of the slip are OF firm and subslan-
tial character. The piles are driven
much closer than the old dock, and
these are laid with heavy oak timbers and
the interstices filled with cinders well set
tied together, and then finished with a
coating of sand and gravel. This section
is now ready for the covering of three inch
plank. Trying as some of the heaps of a
thousand tons Of ore are, these docks hard
ly admit of the possibility OF settling, as
was the case with those first built. The
slip, docked only upon one side, is some
80 feet in width, and the average depth 10
Ieet-a depth more than sufficient for the
heaviest cargoes brought in last year. The
large area of the old marsh, now being
covered with docks, and graded up with
eartn, present the regions of the harbor in
very different aspect from that we have
been accustomed 10 look upon, and yet
we are probably but in a state of incipieE-
cy as to change and progress.

Our Orwell friends appear not little an
noyed by one or more persistent, pestilent
scri5blers for The county papers. Beside
the denial of "News Boy"-E L. Gibbs
ofthe assertion of some thirty of the best
citizens of the place over their own sigma
lures, tEat appeared week or two since,
the same writer, it is supposed, has as
sumed the signature of the Ladies of Or
well" and made use of the Times for reaf
firming the loose stuff filtered through the
Neaos. To this latter communication, the
names of couple of respectable ladies of
Orwell were signed, for making the de-
ception more complete. This communi-
catiOn has fallen into the hands of some
ofthe aggrieved citizens OF Orwell, and
the ladies whose names are used, deny any
knowledge of the affair. Indignation has
naturally been rekindled IN the communi-
ty, that such witless and transparent
tricks practiced upon a respectable COM
munity, should find currency through the
more respectable papers of the county,
While "News Boys" efforts were confined
to the Neaos, comparatively little was cared
about it, as the fitness of the medium and
the matter propagated, was thought to be
such as to render the falsity of the thing
comparatively innocent and harmless,
The citizens of Orwell who have been thus
abused, will probably speak again in their
own defense, and show their contempt for
both the ISLANDERS and the slanderers.

Liver and Blood diseases


A healthy liver secrets each day about
two and half pounds of bile, which con-
tains great amount of waste material
taken from the blood When the liver
becomes torpid or congested, it fails TO
eliminate this vast amount of nOxious
substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood, and be conveyed to
every part of the system. What must be
the condition of the blood when it is re-
ceiv1ng and retaining each day two and a
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to
work off this poison through the other
channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skin, ETC., but these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor in addi-
ton to the natural functions. and cannot
long withstand the pressure, but become
variously diseased.
The brain which is the great electriql
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimula-
ted by the unhealthy blood which passes
to it from the heart and it fails to perform
its Office healthfully. Hence the symp-
toms of bile poisoning, which are dull
ness, headache, incapacity to keep the
mind on any subject, impairment OF men,
ory, dizzy. sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings and irritability OF
temper. The blood itself being diseased
and it forms a sweat upon the surface Of
the skin, 1t is so irritating and poisonous
that il produces discolored brown spots,
pimples, blotches, and other erupuons,
sores boils, carbuncles and scrofulous
tumors. The stomach, bowels and other
organs cannot escape becoming affected,
sooner or later, and we have as the re-
suit, costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia
diarrhea. Other symptoms are common
as bitter or bad taste In the mouth, inter.
nal heat, palpitation, teasing cough, un-
steady appetite, choking sensation in
throat bloating of stomach, pain in sides
or about the shoulders or back, GOODNESS
of extremities, etc., eto. Only a few of the
above symptoms are likely to be present
in any case at any time. The liver being
