Mt. Patrick, Pa, May 30, 1874.


Mr.. EDIToR-Having few leisure mo-
ments, thought would jot an item or so
for the Times. The crops are looking very
we'll and promise good harvest. The corn
is coming up nicely, which makes our farm
ers look as II they would like to do some
poor man favor not so with the boat
boys on the raging canal-their business
being exceedingly dull, freights are low,
and loading very scarce, consequently they
look rather grum. The proprietor of the
Liverpool Steam Mills has taken new de-
parture, went and got betting, and started
up his saw mill in connection with his grist
mill, and is now ready to accommodate the
public, either by grinding their grain, or
saving their lumber, and having good
miller, all who favor him with their Gus
tom, will have their work done in salts
factory manner. The enterprising Mr..
Matchett is progressing with his digging
for Ore in the Buffalo mountain, with good
prospect of success. Mt. Patrick may yet
boast furnace. Yours &C., ]. NJ. O..

An Ugly COllisiOn.--In a game of base
ball between the Normal School boys of
Shippensburg, and the College boys at Mer-
cersburg, two of the most prominent play
ers met with quite serious accident
While Beven and Keiser, both Of Ship
pensburg, were running to catch ball,
they ran together and were terribly cut
about the head and face. Mr.. Beyen's eye
was almost knocked out and cut badly. Mr..
Keiser received very deep and long cash
in the head. 1t was necessary to have it
sewed shut. They both fell to the ground.
Mr.. Beven was carried to the depot in an
almost insensible condition. He was bet
ter on arriving at Shippensburg. The ac-
cident put an end to the game, which the
Shippensburg boys were in fair way Of
winning.

Struck by an Engine.-A painter named
Kelley was knocked off the Cumberland
Valley railroad track on Friday morning
near Good Hope station by a locomotive
attached to an eastward bound train. He
had been seen walking on the track by the
engineer, who, noticing that he made nc
effort to get Off the track, but seemed to
invite violent death, tried all in his pow
er to stop the train. Before this was ac-
complished the man had been hurled from
the track. He received hole in his head
and number of bruises. Kelley was
taken back to Carlisle.

Trichin@ Found. - Yesterday post
mortem examination of the body of Geo..
Cordes, who died on Sunday, was made by
DR.. II. @. Orth, who took small particles of
flesh from the abdomen, diaphragm and
muscles of the legs and arms. These were
subjected to microscopical scrutiny and
found to contain myriads of living and
moving trichine. Last night we had the
privilege of inspecting q number of the
worms taken from the diaphragm through
DIR. Orth's powerful microscope. They
could be seen distinctly moving like snakes.
One of them, which had become detached
from the flesh, locked like q boa constric-
tor. In space of about an eighth of an
inch square the doctor counted sixty-fve
trichine. There are no doubt millions Of
the worms in young Cordes' body.-Harris-

riously damaged. There are doubtless
other farmers in that section who were
equally unfortunate. Forest trees were
also uprooted, window lights broken, etc.
A stable at Shady Grove was capsized dur
ing the same storm.
A second storm passed over our town
about 0 O'Clock, the same evening, drench-
ing the earth with water, but inflicting no
damage.

The German Baptists, or Dunkards, as
they are generally known, met on Thurs
day afternoon, June 5th, at the house of
z. d. Book, near this place. They had
preaching in the afternoon and in the eve-
ming they had their love-feast. They held
it in the barn, it having two (2) large floors,
which were very much crowded, and good
many outside, who could not get in, or did
not want to get in. The outsiders were
very noisy, which does no great credit for
our very intelligent neighborhood. 1t
seems that some of the young men had a
little too much of the fire water" as the
Indians call it. A young man who had
his sister there in buggy, had the mis-
fortune to upset before he got altogether
off the place, pitching his sister out, and
breaking both bones of one of her legs at
the ankle. The fractured bones were set
by DIR. Bradfeld and the lady is doing we'll
1t is not certainly known whether he had
any fire water" but one thing is certain,
and that is, that the ground on which he
upset was not very uneven. Our crops
look well. Wheat is very good, oats doing
finely, while the corn is nearly ready to
work.

Fire at the State Lunatic Asylum.-At a
late hour on Saturday evening week, a
fire occurred in the fan house of the State
Lunatic Asylum, near Harrisburg. The
smoke, instead of pure air, being famed
through the tunnel into the main building,
caused general alarm. Windows were
broken to admit fresh air, but finally the
doors were thrown open, and about four
hundred inmates were allowed to escape, of
whom only twelve left the grounds. At 6
o'clock next evening, all but six had been
returned to the Hospital. Among the
missing is General ]. Sidney Jones, of
Philadelphia. Loss about $500.

NThe "Normal Echo Literary Society,""
of Millerstown, held its sixth Anniversary
on Friday evening, the 9th inst. The
ringing of the bell at u o'clock summoned
large concourse of people to listen to the
entertainment. The salutatory address by
Mr.. L. e. McGinnis, of Acker, Pa, was
prepared and delivered with degree of
excellence rejecting great credit upon that
young gentleman. The Essay by Miss
Hufford, contained many beautiful thoughts
and was read with distinctness of accent
and purity of tone seldom acquired by
the lady student
An original Grafton by Mr.. S. A. Magee,
deserves more space than we can here allow
for description.
The debaters, Messrs. Jones, Shearer,
Gibbons and Heffiey, acquitted themselves
in very able manner.
The recitations by Misses Cauffman and
Garman, were received with every manifes-
tation of delight by the audience.
An original Poem, Joan of Arc" by
Miss Maggie Lauver, contained true merit,
and we regret that we can not notice it as
fully as it deserves in this article.
The performers throughout were reward
ed with showers of bouquets, more or less
copious as the merits of each deserved.
The exercises were largely interspersed
with select music by the young ladies and
gentlemen Of the school. Prof. Wright
may we'll be proud of the success of the
school, and the praise of his patrons SC
often expressed is well founded

The E'aScnaoulsa Resolutions.

The resolutions Of the ''White Mans
. club at Pascagoula, which are printed in
this paper, present in a more forcible
shape than we have seen elsewhere, the
reasons on which the new political depart
ure known as the ''Color Line" has been
taken. They bear the impress of the clear
mind and vigorous pen Of their author,
Col. Melancthon Smith, whose perfect
integrity in whatever cause he espouses,
no one who knows him will question.
They also have the merit of candor, in
the frank admission Of what we ourselves
have repeatedly said, that the lamentable
condition ''of affairs (Which Is urged as a
q reason for the movement) is partly due
'' to the political apathy and indifference
of the whites.
We submit this color line Declaration
from a source so questionably entitled
to consideration, to the reflection of the
class of voters and political leaders who
profess to deprecate the movement,
and whose wrong doings are alleged to
have produced the necessity for it. They
will here see the grounds of complaint;
and understand what reforms are required
to stay the torrent of public discomfort
with its terrible threatenngs. In this way,
the resolutions may serve a useful purpose.
What other practical end they are expect
ed to effect, we do not comprehend.
The white voters in jackson county are
in the ascendant, and can elect the man
of their choice, whoever he may be, to
to the Legislature next fall, with or with
out the color line. In this connection we
will add that they may try a thousand
years and will not secure the services of a |
more upright and faithful Representative
than their present member, Hon. w. A.
Champlin.

The Governors of Kentucky and Ten
nessee have had q conference at Nashville,
and on consultation between themselves
and some other persons invited to par
ticipate in their councils they have agreed
to recommend meeting of al the Dem
ocratic Governors, or of all the State
Governors of both parties, North and
South, for the purpose of a calm,
earnest and patriotic discussion of State
rights and State wrongs under the exist
ing order Of things and the needful rene
dies for the wrongs complained Of In
view of the comprehensive objects of the
meeting, we would think it wiser to d.
vest it partizan character by including
the Governors of all the States. They
are alike interested in preserving the
right of local self government and main
tanning unimpairel the rights and
privileges which appertain to them. a
meeting of Southern Democratic Cover
nors would be liable to damaging misrep-
RESERVATIONS of their motives A meeting
of Democratic Governors exclusively
would subject the Northern members
of the conference to suspicious of COM
plicity with "disloyalists But an
invitation to all the Governors would
Invest the conference of any such impu-
ation, and if held, it would lead to q
fuller expression of opinion and a broader
ield of inquiry. After al, however,
We doubt the expediency OF the confer
nee. Upon the calm reflection of the
American people and the salutary OPP
rations of time, the friends of reform
must only rely. If they will make
taste slowly and not throw obstacles in
be way Of revolution by seeking to pre-
ipititate it, their wishes will be gratifed
fter while, and sooner probably than
hey now expect.
