A FOrgetful MANA Harrisburg paper
says: One day last week a wealthy farmer
aged about sixty-fve years, from near Mt
Holly, Cumberland county, left home for
New York City, to transact little bust
ness and to see the /" lions' there, and,
when ready to return, and wishing to pur-
chase ticket for home could not tell the
ticket agent whether he lived near Mount
Holly, New York, Mount Holly, New
Jersey, or Mount Holly, Pennsylvania. He
was first shipped to Mount Holly, New
York, then to Mount Holly, New Jersey.
Finding each the wrong place, and return
ing to New York each time, he found he
was wrong and paid for the different tick
cts. The third time he was ticketed for
Mount Holly, Pa, and upon reaching this
point he knew he was on the right trail and
went on his way rejoicing. This is a case
of remarkable geographical ignoranpe &c for
this enlightened and progressive age, and
the next time the old farmer leaves home
for so distant point he will probably take
guide with him.

Cumberland County. = From the Cum
berland county papers of last week, we
copy the following:
Caroline Howerman, employed in the
rag-room at the Upper Holly mill, met
with a painful accident few days ago.
While cutting rags the knife or scythe
used for that purpose came loose, strik-
ing her in the face, inflicting severe
wound.
A destructive fire is raging in the noun
tain, near Big Pond Furnace. Large
quantities of valuable timber land have
been destroyed.
An exchange says A timid man wants
to know chow to tell mad dog" We
don't know what he wants to tell him, but
the safest way would be to communicate
with the dog in writing. Send the letter
from gun in the shape of wadding, fol-
lowed by small shot to see if he gets it.

X,Severe StOrm.-On Saturday afternoon
last, at about A clock, Tyrone and Spring
townships were visited by one of the Sc
verest rain and hail storms ever known in
that section of country, doing great dam
age to buildings and crops. The roof was
blown off the Reformed Church and several
stables blown down in Landisburg, also
the roof from the Mt. Zion Lutheran
church.. in Spring township; Capt. Kane's
barn was also prostrated, and the corn
crop in the vicinity was perfectly riddled.
In Tyrone township grain that was shocked
in field Of Mr.. Lightner, was blown into
an adjoining field. In LOUISVILLE the sign
post at Mr.. Ritter's Hotel was twisted off
at the ground, and about 1000 lights of
glass broken in the village. The storm
extended several miles in width, but no
particular damage was done in any other
locality, that we have heard from.
The storms on Saturday, from all we can
ascertain, appear 60 have been pretty gen
eral. Above Lewistown some railroad cars
were blown from the track, and two lives
lost.
At Lewistown the bridge spanning the
-Juniata river was blown down and about
20 lives lost. Thus far bodies have been
recovered.

The New Postal Law.-As finally pass
ed, the Post Office Appropriation bill fixes
the rates on newspapers published weekly
and oftener at two cents a pound except on
weekly papers, which go free in the county
where published on other periodical pub
locations three cents pound on public
documents ten cents volume or on an av-
erage of five cents pound, and on copies
of the Congressional Record one cent each,
all to be prepaid the payments of news
paper postage to begin Jan. 1, 1875. This
will make the postage on newspapers about
the same as at present, only it will be rated
in bulk and will have to be prepaid blythe
publishers. Its practical effect will be to
} introduce the cash system of prepayment
on subscriptions, as pblishers will not be
able to pay postage and give credit besides.

Clothing FOund.-On Sunday last Mr..
Hartman, of Patterson, discovered a bum
die of clothing in a grain field back Of Da-
vid Sulouff's residence He returned to
Patterson and gave the information, when
he and Squire Doughman went to the field
and brought the clothing to Mr.. Hartman's
residence. The bundle contained one new
black cloth coat, one pair new light cassi-
mere pants, two new vests, one new white
muslin shirt, half dozen new cotton stock
ings and two suits of old clothing. In the
pockets of the old clothing were found a
number of conversational cards and a rail
road guide. From the appearance of the
clothing the bundle was evidently in the
field for several weeks. 1t will be remem-
bered that the week the Sunday School
Convention was held in Port Royal,
g. s. Mills clothing store of that place
was entered and robbed Of considerable
amount Of ready made clothing, and as the
clothing found by Mr.. Hartman is of that
kind, It may be that this clothing is part
of what was taken from Mr.. Mills. Dem

Charming DOg.-A young man named
Billy Dunkle came to the house of B. II.
Lamott, at the toll gate, on the pike near
Shrewsbury, and claimed he could charm
his savage dog. Mr.. L.. cautioned him to
be careful, or the dog might bite him. With
confidence in his power, Billy proceeded
with knife in his month, toward the saw
age animal, going through gesticulations.
When near the dog, the brute not needing
his charms, rushed at him, seized him in
the face tearing him almost beyond recog-
milton. He was taken to the physician for
treatment at New Freedom. Dog charm
ing don't work at all times, the best advice
is, don't go into the business unless you
are cornered. = York Democrat

It is true that years will eapse before the reforms
be accomplished but the Emperor rejoces to be able
to-day to express the conviction that the hopes of the
Government and the country will be realized in not
too distant future. The military system Of the EN-
pire will be completed by bills dealing with the Land
strum and the apportonmeut Of contributions among
the various States for the maintenance of the army in
time Of peace The general rise in prices renders the
sum ofmoney heretofore granted insufficient to meet
the ordinary expenses of the army and provide for the
improved equipments demanded by the advance of
military science The Budget of 1875 will show ne
cessary increase of contributions for this and other
branches of the Administration. The allied Govern
ments agree that the present powers relative to the
circulation Of paper currency, only mitable by
