l53- Ballou's Monthly Magazine for May
We do not wonder that all classes are eager to
welcome monthly issue Of this popular mag
azine, for it contains just such stories as suit
every one. In fact Ballou has patrons in Eng
land, France and Germany, and at least ten
copies are sent to prominent Americans who
reside in Russia, and who hail its moAthly ap-
pearance with much pleasure. This is sign
of popularity which is appreciated by the pub
fishers, and they strive to make the Magazine
better and better each year, and we think they
have succeeded in their efforts. The contents
of the May number are excellent.
Remember pretty little Chrome gees to

"The Changers" in Spring township are

Not half the farmers in this vicinity have
yet sowed their oats. (We have no refer
ence to "wild oats)."
The young man who picked up, what he
supposed to be a veil, (but it wasn't) the
other evening in front of the Court House,
wishes to have law passed to prevent
COWS from running at large.
/ A dangerous counterfeit is out. 1t is the
new ten cent note with its vignette of
Meredith, and over the large "10" is print
ed "50." The "50'' is, of course, excel
lently engraved and looks quite natural,
and the counterfeit is dangerous, as these
notes at the best resemble the ffties
Rev. s. e. Herring, has preached a trial
sermon, before the Lutheran Church, at
Duncannon, and will probably receive
call by that society.
A horse driven to Newport, by Jacob
Fenstemaker, scrared at the cars while
standing near the depot, on Wednesday
last, and made good time until brought to
a stop, by running the spring wagon against
a tree.
One of the boarders at Meredith's Hotel
on last Wednesday evening saw o light in
the yard after retiring for the night, and on
getting up to discover the cause, found
that quite fire was blazing. The fire
was caused by the wind igniting the slum-
bering embers, left after burning rubbish
the afternoon previous. Had it not been
discovered about the time it was, it would
soon have set fire to surrounding property.
A festival will be held during the week
of the May Court, for the benefit of the
Bloomfield Cornet Band. The ladies of
this place and vicinity, are respectfully re-
quested to aid in getting up the eatables.-
Music will be furnished for the occasion.
Our friends are cordially invited to assist
us in this movement.

wrong in the mail arrangements between
this place and the upper part of the county.
Within two years number of letters con-
tanning notes and checks have been lost in
transit between these points, and what is
singular every loss that has happened to
the bank here in that time, has occurred in
that direction. The only loss we have ever
had in money letters, with one exception,
has also occurred in letters from the upper

broke out in the house belonging to the
Jones estate, situated near the r. r., about
one mile below Millerstown. by the aid
of some railroad hands the furniture was
all removed, but the building was entirely

Juniata COunty.-From the Mifiintown
papers Of last week we copy the follow.
ing
Between the hours of s and 0 o'clock last
Sunday evening the Patterson House stable
was discovered to be on fire. 1t was ex-
tinguished before much damage was done.
David Harsh, an employee on the wood
train, got his foot seriously mashed on
Monday afternoon, in Patterson, The
accident occurred by getting his foot be-
tween the bumpers of two cars which run
together.
Samuel Clark, of Lack township, was, on
the evening of the 7th inst, thrown from q
colt, falling upon his head producing con-
siderable ooncussion of the brain, and was
otherwise injured. He was so completely
stunned as to cause insensibility for some
time afterwards. He is now recovering.
A portion of the bones of five different
human beings have been exhumed in the
excavation for the new court house. The
bodies lay in close proximity to each other
There were no indications of cofins having
been used in the burial. The bones crum-
bled to dust upon being exposed to the air
The supposition seems to be that the spot
was at one time an Indian battle-ground.
---- -
Cumberland County. - From the Car
Isle Volunteer of last week, we copy the
following:
Mrs. Beltzhoover, an aged lady, fell out
of bed at her residence, at Boiling Springs,
last week and died shortly after from the
effects of the fall.
On Sunday last bold attempt was made
to fire small building in the rear of Mil
ler's store, near the Market House. For
tunately the fire was discovered before it
had made much progress, and the design
of the incendiary frustrated.
As Mr.. and Mrs. George Stone, of Mid
dlesex township, were coming to town in
spring wagon on Saturday morning last,
with marketing, their horse took frightat'
seeing a hog in Bakers woods, and FAN off
at full speed. Mrs. s. was thrown violent
ly to the ground receiving a severe cut on
the head, and dislocating one of her wrists.
Mr.. S. was also thrown out and received
several bruises. The spring wagon was
broken to pieces, eight dozen eggs convert
ed into omelet, and the harness torn into
bits. Mr.. S. had bought the horse recent
ly and was not aware that he was tricky.
SuffOcated by Coal Gas.-One night last
week, the family of Martin: Breechbill, re-
siding near Cleversburg, was nearly suffo-
Gated to death by gas from coal stove.
The parents were awakened in the night,
by the children, and noticing they were
sick, Mr.. b. called for DIR. 9. A. Rowland,
who, upon his entering the house, discov-
cred the cause, and after opening the win
dows and doors, and administering proper
remedies restored the children. Had it not
been discovered as soon as it was, it is alto
gether likely the whole family would have
been killed, as the children were almost be-
yond recovery. Where coal stoves are used
in sleeping rooms, there should be free
ventilation. ,ShippeRsburg NeaoS

A Child FOund.-A correspondent of the
the Hollidaysburg Register writing from
Newburg, Blair county says "On We'd
nesday last, while Mr.. John McCloskey
was hauling out manure for Peter Weaver,
at Catfish, he had to drive through a
swamp close by the garden of Mr.. Weaver,
and the wagon wheel in passing through
the mud, brought to the surface the body
of a male child. Mr.. MeCloskey discover
ed it but thought it was dead pig, and
on his return with the wagon, he saw that
it was child. He called to Mr.. WIS fam
lily, and they all ran to see it. Mr.. W. dug
a hole in the same swamp, about ten feet
from where it was first buried, not putting
it in box or wrapping the body up in any
way, but placed it in and covered it over
very lightly. 1t was talked about until
some of the neighbors got to hear of it
whereupon Mr.. Wike and Mr.. Fink took
Constable Goodman to the place and he
raised the body. An inquest was held
when it was shown that the child had been
born alive and had been strangled.

MEMPHIS TENN. WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER Il 1874

secure popularity because it is nasty,
but because it is presented in an at.
tractive form. The French dramas. OF
which we have so often complained In
this paper, succeed because
they are, in their way, master
pieces of art. We cannot help admirlng
the skill displayed in their construction
while we detest and denounce the morals
taught by them. Miss Logan's plays
failed because, while they are cleanly,
they do not contain any evidence OF dex-
ferrous workmanship. They are pure,
but so is the last annual report OF the
Secretary of War They teach virtuous
lessons, but so does a volume of sermons,
and neither of these would be precisely
suitable for dramatic representation.
The French dramatists would achieve
popularity if they we're as decent as Miss
Logan, because they understand the bus
mess; while she, with all her propriety,
does not succeed because she is not an
expert writer of plays. 1t is question
of capability for the performance OF
particular kind of work. The public
taste is not vitiated. The people prefer
a decent drama to one that is indecent;
but they demand first of all that it shall
be really striking, forcible and well
executed work which shall afford enter
tainment. The moral sentiments of
play are thus made matter of second
airy importance; but Miss Logan insists
that they shall be more important than
anything else, and playgoe demon.
strate practically that they disagree with
her by refusing to patronize her dramas.
