Juniata COunty.--From the Miffiintown
papers we copy the following:
On Friday last, at the M. E. Sunday
school celebration, at Macedonia, Stanton,
son of II. II. Wilson, of this borough, fell
into the canal at that place, and would
have drowned had it not been for Alonza
Fasic, of Patterson, who heard the splash
and jumped into the canal and rescued
him. Stanton was going down the third
time when rescued, and the vital spark
had almost fed. He was wrapped in
blankets and rolled upon the ground, and
thus resuscitated. Democrat g. Register.
Last Saturday evening, the mail train
east, due here about o'clock, struck a
man who was walking on the track between
Patterson and, Lewistown. Fortunately,
the unfortunate man was caught and held
on the "cow-catcher," till the train was
stopped. He was then put on board and
brought to Patterson. He had an arm
broken and hand cut off, and was severe
ly hurt in other parts of his body. He is an
Irishman. Before coming to this country
he lost an eye and a thumb by an explo-
sion.-SeRtineL.

An Attempted SWindle.-A few days ago
a polished man went in wholesale iewelry
establishment in New York and expressed
a desire to make number of purchases
for his alleged father, who he declared was
@. A. Aughinbaugh, jeweler, Third and
Market streets, Harrisburg. He inspected
a number Of French clocks and said that
his papa had determined to make the sale
of fancy wares of this character a spec
iality. He selected four handsome clocks
and ordered them to be sent to Father
Aughinbaugh by express. He then asked
permission to examine number of dia-
mond rings whose dazzling brilliancy al
most blinded his eyes. Meanwhile a sus-
picion began to develop itself in the mind
of one of the salesman that the customer
might be swindler and no effort was made
to sell the rings. The customers object
was doubtless to obtains number of rings
on the strength of having bought the
clocks, but probably coming to the conclu-
sion that he was suspected he hurried out
without making a purchase. The firm did
not send the goods but substituted letter
directed to Mr.. Aughinbaugh asking
whether his son was in New York buying
in stock for him. Each particular hair on
the top of Charley's head stood on end like
quills on the fretful porcupine when his
eyes lit on the paragraph placing him in
the category of fathers. Being universally
known here as an heirless man he natu-
rally became indignant at the bald imputa-
tion and responded in flttingly severe
terms.
The swindler who attempted to palm
himself off as the son of Mr.. Aughinbaugh
had evidently planned the scheme in this
city, as he gave correct description of the
store and spoke intelligently of points Of
interest in Harrisburg. Patriot.

Horse ChOked.-on Friday week Mr..
Henry Lecron, of the Marsh, had horse,
very valuable brown mare, to choke
while eating oats. To relieve the animal
he wrapped with calico stick and forced
it into her throat, but in the effort to re-
move the stick it was broken, piece about
eighteen inches long remained in her
throat. In this situation the mare was
brought to DIR. Bowls in this place. He
first tried to remove the stick with pair
of pinchers, but failing he forced his arm
down her throat beyond his elbow, and
finally succeeded in getting a sufficient hold
upon it to draw it out. The DR.. thus saw
cd the life of valuable animal, but in the
effort had his hand and arm considerably

A Queer Steal.-The Hollidaysburg Reg
lister says "One of the boldest and most
remarkable cases of stealing we ever heard
of was perpetrated near this place on We'd
nesday night week, the article being
nothing more or less than moving ma
chine. The machine belonged to Martin
Baird, and, as is customary with farmers,
had been left standing in the field of Pat
rick McCloskey, where it had been in use
the day previous to the theft The ma
chine was loaded on wagon, the tracks of
which could be distinctly traced to the
road and turning southward, where all
further trace of it was lost. Our farmer
friends will doubtless hereafter be q little
more cautious about leaving their mowers
and reapers "laying around loose" and as
Policeman Barr suggests, it might perhaps
be we'll enough for brickmakers and lime
burners to house their yards and kilns at
night, as nothing seems to be safe these
theiving times" We would not be sur
prised if the chap that did this stealing
would be back some night after the farm.

The Peoples Freight r. W.-The cor
poration known as the p. f. r. W., are
stirring up some of the citizens in the up
per part of the county with a legal stick.
Having lost confidence in the Company's
intention to spend the money in building a
road, many subscribers have declined to
pay their assessments as they come due,
hence these suits. During the past week
some of the managers of the Company have
been sending off large numbers of circulars
to the west. The contents of these circu-
lars show that the prospects for the final
success of the enterprise, rests solely on
hope. HOPE, that the next Congress will
grant a subsidy to enable through road to
be built from the Atlantic to the great west
HOPE, that Company will be formed to
build such a road, and with further hope,
that said company will be induced to ac-
cept this little piece of road through Perry,
as a portion of the great route. What the
managers hope to get for their charter and
privileges is Of course not known. One of
the circulars sent reads as follows:
A CONVENTION
Will be held at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on the Sec
oND day of SEPTEMBER next, for the purpose of
organizing "The Peoples Freight Railway
Co., Ohio Division,D and to arrange for Or
ganizing the Indiana Division, and for consoli-
dating the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois Divisions into one Com
pany.
Delegates are expected and invited to be pres
ent from Wellsville, Uhrlcksville, Coshocton,
Mt. Vernon, Mt. Gilead, Marion, Kenton,
Wapakonetta, and Celina, Ohio; Portland,
Wheeling, Tipton, Frankfort, Charlottesville,
and Newport, Indiana Tuscola, Sullivan,
Illinois, Pittsburg, Greensburg, Somerset,
Bedford, Harrisburg, Lebanon, ReadingI and
Point Pleasant, Pa; as well as from such
other places as may feel an interest in the con-
struction of Freight Railway along the route
indicated by the above named places.
Delegates must be provided with such cre-
dentials as will show that they properly repre-
sent such portion of their neighboring people
as favor the construction of a Freight Railway
near the above indicated line, from New York
Harbor to some central point on the Mississippi
River, in the State ofIllinois.
The main circular sets forth that the
company has its Office in New Bloomfield.
Where that Office is, no one in this town
knows. The company also puts forth a
list Of men as directors, one of whom at
least says he has no interest in the matter,
and never has authorized the use of
his name. A company with such great in
tentions in vieS, as are set forth in the
above call, " ought at least to have di-
rectors who know something about the
corporation, and who have money inter-
est in its management

negro domination will come out and vote
for the Democratic Conservative ticket.

that they would elect a majority OF the

that the people were favorable to Grant s
administration and his acts favorins the
Kellogg government and the non-im-
parchment of the drunken Judge l)u'

are opposed to these acts as well as the

can go into restaurant or hotel ant
