SKEEDADLED.-If our fair young
friend, Miss Rovia Alexander, is not
the most successful manager OF equine
quadruped5, she thinks she can at
least drive fast enough for all practical
purposes. The other evening, while
she was driving from town to her faith
er's farm, the team became excited, or
anxious for their regular oats, and
started home on goldsmith Maid,n
time, only permitting the carriage
wheels to touch the extremely elevated
spots In the road. The fair young
driver tried to ride for q while, but
finding the enterprise more enlivening
than safe, jumped out, still holding the
lines and attempted to check the fleet
steeds in their wild career. But they
wouldn't stop; they were headed for
those oats in their own stalls, and con-
tinued to go for them with undimin-
ished Yehemence. The young lady let
lem go, and mounting another horse
which she procured from neighbor-
ing farm house, came up with them
about two miles further on the road,
where & man had headed them OIL:
The carriage and harness can be
mended so they will do to slosh around
Docs farm with, but they wouldn't do
for Princes retinue.

DEATH OF AN IMMIGRANT.-Mr.
Galloway Warwick, one Of q colony OF
Tennesseans who arrived in this county
about two months ago, died last Tues
day, from liver complaint, aged about
55 YEATS. Deceased leaves wife and
nine children, as well as u numerous
relationship Both here AID in the far
off home of his nativity, to mourn his
death. He was q Master Mason in
good standing and his remains were
inferred by st. Johns Lodge No, 5s, OF
this city-Bro. George. Humphrey,
Worshipful Master, being assisted by
Rev. Bro. e. r.. Geary as Chaplain
Among the touching scenes at the in-
terment was the presence Of the aged
mother Of the deceased, who, although
bearing upon her grief-stricken face
the furrows Of over four-score years OF
Times heavy plowshdre, had, in the
last years of her advanced life, fol-
lowed this, her only chiId, to his far
western home, only to see him laid to
rest in d strange land and in the I'M
migrants lonely sepulchre. 1t was
indeed sad and touching spectacle of
that tender Masonic burial, and will
long remain fresh and vivid in the
minds Of the Brethren of the Mystic
Tie, who so lovingly deposited their
stranger Brother in his Occidental
tomb.

day night, the Sth inst.j fire broke
out in the wagon-shop of B. Window,
at Harrisburg, which destroyed the

tributed about S4OO to enable the suf-

TALL OATs.-John r. Smith, of
Lebanon. has left in our Office some
stalks of oats which measures nearly
feet: also another specimen measuT-
ing Al feet. They are Of the same
varieties, but he accounts for the diff
ference in the growth by the fact that
the tall oats was sown in very deeply
plowed ground, while the other was
only cultivated in the ordinary way.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Tho Body Of Man Found ElSating in
the River.

Quite an excitement was caused IN
our city last Monday by the discovery
of the body of a man in the river be-
low Parker g. Morris's warehouse. On
Sunday evening a couple OF gentle
man noticed the body floating in the
edge of the river, but when the proper
authorities were informed of the fact
it was too late to hold an inquest. The
next morning the body which was in
an advanced stage of decomposition
was taken from the river and placed
upon the bank, and, though crowds OF
people looked at the remains of the un"
fortunate man, none succeeded in rec
ognizing them. The man was sup
posed to have been about forty-nVe
years of age, was FIVE feet and eight or
nine inches high, sandy complexion
with heavy moustache and beard,
slightly intermixed with gray, and
had on when found q new suit of dark
clothes, white shirt, white wooden un-
derclothingi and a pair of boots In
the pockets of the clothing were found
ten dimes, two white hankerchiefs,
and the fine part of cohmon comb
no papers or anything else by which
the corpse could be identified. In the
absence of a Coroner jury was en-
panneled by the Justice of the Peace
for this precinct, Jos. Harmon Esq,
which, after Investigation, brought in
a verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by drowning. 1t is
certainly not d murder, as there are no
traces of violence upon sthe body and
there is no way of telling whether it is
case of accidental drowning or sui
eide. From the fact that nobody has
been missed from this community it is
apparent that the body must have
foated down the river, and when the
description of the deceased is circulated
through the upper part of the valley
the body may be identified.

The extravaganoe OF Gen. Grants ad
ministration is e1emplifad in the multi
plicity of new Offices that have been
created since he came into power. In
1859 the number of employees of the
Federal Government was 44.527. In
1851, the fret year OF the war, the mum
Der increased to 46.049. In 1866, the
year the war closed, there were SO, 167.
In 1867, after the enormous labors grow.
ing ont of the war had been mainly
completed, there wore 56,11 Gen.
Grant came into Office in 1869, and in
two years-that is. in 1871, six years
after the close of the war-the number
OF employees had run up to 57,6O5. By
1873. eight years after the war. the num-
Der had increased to 86. 660. These are
official figures, and they show that dur
ing the present administration, in ps.
riod Of profound peace and after suf.
ficient lapse of time to dispose of the
bulk of the unsettIed business left by
the war, the army Of office holders has
been increased by a reinforcement of
over 10000 men. The end is not vet,

more money is still being made.
