NEW GERMANTOwN, Ia


Mr.. Editor In the last two issues of
your paper, your worthy correspondent of
Blain, has been trying to give you some of
the incidents connected with the meeting
recently held at Mr.. Books, of Jackson
township and concerning that "upset,
we have word to say.
In the first place, he said some of the
young men were under the influence of
"Fire Water" That might have been,
but how did he know, unless his eyes were
"skinned" on worldly matters, and his
heart "longed the joys to share" Second
ly he says, n young man upset and threw
his sister out, breaking one of her limbs,
that is correct. But again he says, one
thing we do know, and that is, the ground
was not very uneven" Now, any one that
has been to Mr.. Books, knows what a
bank there is where the roads meet, and
in the extreme darkness of the night, the
driver (never having been there before) was
unable to distinguish the right track. Mr..
Book also says, the place is dangerous
The impression left by your correspondents
article is, that the driver was intoxicated (;
or how could he upset on level ground. AS
for the soberness of the driver, we can
vouch for that. Therefore we hope the
Blain correspondent will be more careful
in preparing his articles in the future.

Some Girls SOld.-An exchange says:- =
"On Decoration day in SunbuIy, very
modest and unassuming young man made
arrangements with young lady to take
her out riding in the evening. He called
at her residence at the appointed time, and
the young lady and two others came out
and all three jumped into the buggy while
the young gent was untieing his horse.
He said nothing, but jumped astride the
animal and started down street at a lively
gait. The young ladies begged for mercy
sake that he should stop and let them out
of the buggy but he kept on, paying no
attention to their appeals In this uncom-
Portable fix the ladies were kept for con-
siderable time, but finally they were liberia
ted, and have no doubt resolved never to
play that kind of a joke again.

Cumberland County. - From the Cum
berland county papers of last week, we
copy the following
A few days ago as Mrs. Geo. W. Crop was
passing through the hall of her residence on
Pitt street, she discovered young snake lying
on the carpet in front of her. The viper was
at once killed, and upon closer examination it
was found to be one of the house species.
Last Sunday two young men hired horse
and buggy from j. II. Bear, at New Kingston,
promising to return the same day. As they
have not returned as yet, the owner of the mis-
sing property has reason to believe that they
have left for parts unknown. Mr.. Bear offers
a reward of $50 for the apprehension of the
parties.
AS Mr.. Chas. W. Scheafie-, miller, of Mt.
Holly Springs, was driving near that borough
on Tuesday evening, his horse frightened at
throwing Mr.. s. violently against fence
His injuries are of a very painful nature
Volunteer.
A child of Mr.. John Otto, living short dis
tance east of Milltown, this county, recently
fell injuring its upper lip and gum, cutting a
blood vessel, from which in all probability it
has bled to death, as no hopes of its recovery
were entertained by its friends at the last ac-
counts.-Sentiael.
Last Monday afternoon Mr.. Simon zearfoss,
residing near Orrstown, while engaged in cut
ting grass, fortunately escaped serious ac-
cldent. There was a stone lying on the plat
form of the reaper, which Mr.. 4. threw into
some hedge that were close by. The noise
frightened his horses causing them to run at a
fearful rate for short time, and while endeaV-
oring to check their speed Mr.. 2. was thrown
off the reaper at tn. left side striking the
wheel, which bruised him very badly. The
reaper was badly wrecked.
On Sunday night last, Mr.. W. s. Megaw, of
Newburg, was awakened in the night by one
of the children, and getting up he lighted the
lamp, but failed to put the globe on, and after
a short time went to bed again, leaving the
lamp on the mantle. About one o'clock he
was aroused by the flames which were then
playing upon the floor and ceiling. He seized
the lamp enveloped in flames, and in the act
of throwing it from the window it exploded in
his hands. By use of the carpet Mr.. Megaw
succeeded in smothering the flames but not
until he was considerably burned and his hands
badly cut. A few moments more and the
flames would have been beyond control.-Es',-
terpriSe.

Juniata COunty.-From the Mifflintown
papers of last week we copy the follow
ing
On Saturday last, as Abraham Swartz-
lander, of McAlisterville, was driving up
Cherry street, in an open buggy, the horse
frightened at hog that was being chased
by dog, the hog running between the
horses legs, causing the horse to jump to
one side, breaking the traces, and throwing
Mr.. Swartzlander out of the buggy. Mr.. s.
fell heavily upon the back of his head,
causing flesh wound into the bone. He
was picked up in an unconscious condi-
tion, placed upon settee and carried into
the residence of Mrs. Akely. After he re-
turned to consciousness the wound was
stitched up and dressed by DIR. Crawford
The horse kicked himself out of the bug
gy, sadly demoralizing it and the harness.

tween the rails on which the train stood
Before he got his leg out the locomotive,

returned to couple, and struck the train
with such force that it was suddenly start
ed and moved about Is feet, passing over
Mr.. Underwood's leg, crushing it so badly
that amputation became necessary, and
was rendered by Drs. Crawford and Banks.

Model Advertising. lin the Spirit Of The
Times and Carlisle Gazette, published in
October, 1878, we find Michael Kosht a
runaway apprentice to the tanning and
currying trade, advertised by Joseph
Shrom, jr., at eighteen years of age, five
feet five or six inches high, with short
curly hair and complexion naturally tipt
with the mulatto. The public are eau
toned against harboring said Kosht, as he
is both thief and liar, and as his bed

filthy. -.-,o.,

Fire at HnmmelstOWn.-Loss $780,
i, Between half past twelve and one o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon fire broke out in
Hummelstown which destroyed about SO,
500 worth Of property belonging to the
Walmer estate and II. @. Walmer The
fire started on the roof Of the wash house,
in the rear of the Walmer mansion, and is
supposed to have originated from spark
thrown out of the chimney Of blacksmith
shop adjoining. The flames spread rapid
ly, the wind driving them toward the
house. The two hand engines of the bor-
ough were promptly on the ground, but
considerable difficulty was experienced in
getting the necessary quantity of water.
The people OF Hnnmelstown turned out ey-
cry available means to extinguish the fire
and save the property in peril. A shop i'm
mediately in the rear Of the house, used for
the storage of finished carriage work, was
consumed with nearly all its contents, and
the mansion, one Of the oldest and most
substantial in the town, was burned out.
All the furniture was removed but much
of It in a damaged condition. The carriage
shop Of H, G. Walmer, adjoining the
house, escaped and none Of the vehicles
were destroyed. A number OF buildings in
the neighborhood were on fire several times,
but having been carefully guarded no dam
age was done We have not learned the
amount Of insurance on the property.

THE DANGERS OF DANCING,

At an inquest held in London OF
the body of young lady who diet
suddenly, a few hours after attending
an evening party, of apoplcxy, thu
coroner remarked that it was a pity
to say anything against $50 health
full and pleasurable exercise as dan
cing," but il most certainly produced
apoplexy in certain cases. The cases
in which death is diretcly produced
are happily rare, @hRt the seeds of
death are often sown in a ballroom,
not so much from dancing as from
the circumstances under which 1t is
carried on. For instance, what can
be more likely to produce apoplexy
or some serious illness than the prac-
tice of eating ices when thoroughly
heated by violent exercisesi Again
the atmosphere Of many ballroom,
crammed as it often is with three
times as many people as it can COM
fortably contain, is enough of itself
to poison any one not acclimatized to
sufFocation by previous training
Then there are the sudden changes
oftcmperature to which young ladies,
insufiiciently clad, are exposed on
leaving the heated rooms as they re-
turn home, overtired aud in precise
ly the condition under which such
changes of temperature are likely to
effect them if they have any tenden-
cy to lung disease. The late hours
also which are necessarily kept in
the season cannot be otherwise than
very preiudicial to the health Of both
old and young, and probably cause
many illnesses that are unjustly
credited to other sources. There is
in truth, great need of reform in
most of the social habits Of the pres
ent day, and the wonder is not that
any young lady is killed by dancing,
but that any, save the strongest,
survive the amusements and dangers
of a summer in London.-PaH NAL
