One evening last week, a COW belong

take promenade on the railroad. Unfor-
tunately, train of cars came laundering
along, and, in the midst of her meditations,
knocked her off the track, injuring her so
badly that she had to be killed.
On Wednesday of last week, ]. W.
Plett, Sewing Machine agent while driving
in the swamp, about three miles below
town, was oyertaken by storm, and, fear
ing it would be severe, he drove to Mr.
Samuel Kinslow, put his horse in the stable
and went into the house, leaving the ma
chine wagon stand in front of the barn. In
short time the storm became so severe as
to completely turn the wagon upside down,
breaking the entire top off.
A very remarkable accident occurred on

jackson Ahead of Centre.

Mr.. Editor The County papers of last
week, have the following "Jacob Orwan
and John A.. Mcbride, cut tied and shock
ed 113 dozen of wheat last Friday, on Mr..
McBride's farm, in Centre township, work
ing twelve hours. Can this days work be
beat by any other two men ?''
We answer, it can. Before we tell by
whom, however, we will give little advice
to these "mighty workmen" of Centre.
Before you bring your "mighty deeds"
before the light of the press, always con-
sult the "Upper End" You know how
humiliating it is, if after we have our
names in the papers, as doing great deeds,
some one from jackson township, for in
stance, comes with something greater. We
pity the men of Centre, if, after having
read this article, they feel so little, as
the Conegocheaque is compared to the
Rocky Mountains. Well, we did not set
out with this intention, SO we will return
TO our statement of "things performed in
our township"
Mr.. A. b. Trostle and Hezekiah Minick,
of our town, cut tied and shocked, on
Captain Samuel Gutshall's farm, thirty
acres of wheat, in seven days. They cut
this in seven days in succession. The wheat
was as heavy as any in the county Now,
who will beat this ?'' BEHoLDER.

Potato Bugs Spoiled Dlnner.--A lady

Potato Bugs Spoiled a Dlnner.--A lady
up town, thinking she would have stewed
fowl for dinner, killed and cleaned chick
en- in the usual manner. Upon cutting
open the gizzard, however, she found it
crammed with potato bugs. The effluvia
arising from the bisected organ was nau-
seating, and she threw it out with the
entrails. Preparing the other portion of
the chicken, she cooked it but when placed
upon the table and tasted, the flesh was
found to be so completely impregnated with
" bug juice" as to necessitate the entire
discarding of that part of the meal. Anoth-
er case of q similar kind has reached our
ears, but we failed to learn the particulars
Public Opinion.
I The Surest way, to avoid being struck by
lightning, is to get four strong glass tum-
blers or solid pieces, of glass and at the
approach Of a thunderstorm, put one under
each leg Of a chair, and sit upon it with the
feet on the rounds. A common board laid
on glass bottles, to stand or sit upon it,
serves the same purpose. The body thus
becomes completely insulated, and light
ming cannot strike to injure in the slightest,
unless it can form circuit with the earth.

Killed by Lightning. During thunder
storm on the evening of Thursday, July
9th, thirty seven sheep, belonging to Mr..
John Mclaughlin, were killed by lightning,
in field along the turnpike about one-half
mile this side of Loudon. There were
fifty-seven in the flock, and thirty-seven
were found dead under large pine tree
Adam Smith, near Loudon, had four hogs
killed by lightning during the same storm.
+ The FlOOd.-A correspondent from the
upper end of the county, furnishes the fol-
lowing:
con Saturday, the 18th inst, this part
of the county was visited by one of the lar
gest floods that has been witnessed for
long time. Bridges, fences and every
thing within its reach, were swept away.
AT Bixler's Mill, some cattle were grazing
in meadow, Immediately above which
was dam. This dam broke, the water
overfowing the meadow, and drifting the
cattle down stream. 1t rolled them over
like logs. One of them was drowned.
Shocks of wheat were swept into adjoining
fields, the fences between having been torn
away. Colonel Arnold, near Anderson
burg, says hundred dollars will not re-
place what the flood has done on his farm.
And he is only one out out of hundreds
that have suffered.

Saved by COW.-Lancaster had even a
heavier rain than Dauphin county on
Saturday, the streams swelling to large
proportions. A number of narrow escapes
from drowning were made. The IntelIi-
gencer mentions the following peculiar one :
A boy named Croft had been sent to bring
home three COWS for milking. He was
overtaken by the storm, and was obliged to
cross what an hour before was but small
rivulet, but which was now swollen to the
dimensions Of raging river. Into the tor
rent he drove two of the COWS, but the
other obstinately refused to enter, where
upon the boy attempted to cross log over
the stream and take home the two COWS
that were already on the other side. On
reaching the middle Of the stream he was
swept from the log and was being rapidly
carried off to watery.grave, when the OBJ
stinate COW, which had strayed some dis
tance below the log, as if realizing the boy s
peril, plunged into the stream and gained
the middle Of the current just as the boy
was passing. Instinctively he seized her
by the neck and clung to her until she
landed him safely on shore.

COnventiOn.-There are going to be more

atorial COnferees to select a Senatorial
delegate to said Convention also to ap-
point congressional conferees, is to be held
in the Court House, on Monday Aug. 3rd
The time for the meeting of the convention
for making county ticket, has not yet

delegates will be elected from each district
in the county, on Saturday, Aug. 1st be-
tween the hours of A or P. NJ, to repre-
sent the district in the Convention on the
Bird inst.

A Fish StOry.-The Altoona Tribune
says "One of the biggest pike that we
have ever known to be caught with rod
and line, was yesterday morning hooked in
the .Conemaugh river at point near Min
eveh, by well-known railway engineer
employed on the Pittsburgh DIVISION
The pike weighed seventeen and one-half
pounds, and was four and one-half feet
long by actual measurement. The monster
of the deep had teeth fully three-quarters
of an inch in length and which are as sharp
as a needle. The head of the fish was
brought to this city by an engineer last
evening, and is now on exhibition at the
Tribune Office. The foregoing may sound
like exaggeration, yet sight at the head
will convince any one Of the truth of
what has been written. The mouth of
the pike is so large that it will readily adj
init of mans arm in it.
