CONTINENTAL UNIFORM IA Harrisburg
paper says that the Pennsylvania railroad
company contemplate arraying its conduc-
tors, train agents and bralScmcn in CONT
mental uniform during the summer in
commemoration of the Centennial. Tho
suits arc to be very attractive. Our Wes-
tern Maryland road should adopt some.
thing of this kind too, i'm order to he in the
fashion. How would Washington A. look
in knee breeches?
AccIDENT.-Quite serious accident
bcfel Mr.. Conrad Faubel, a worthy Ger
man citizen of this city, on Friday last
Mr.. f. who follows the vocation OF dealer
in rags, metals, &c, had been on tour
throughout the country, and was return
ing home, when near the village of Boil.
var the horse became frightened at some.
thing in the road, and started at q fearful
rate of speed, throwing Mr.. f. out in
the road, whereby he sustained several
severe injuries. We arc gratifed to learn
that at last accounts he was improving
and promised speedy recovery Times
On account Of our subscription book be.
ing in such bad state in regard to dates
and credits we deemed 1t prudent to send
out printend notices In the last issue to
many of our subscribers If there are any
who received these notices and feel that
wrong has been done we will gladly cor
rect the error and give the proper credit
on the book by calling upon us. We hope
our friends will not Judge rs harshly for
SO doing, but will consider the matter calm
ly and realize the fact that the printer also
needs money sometimes.
Cow Po1soSED.-Wc see it stated that
Mr.. Lewis +. Wachtcr of F.. who resides
about four miles northwest of this city,
lost very fine cow some time ago,
which he supposcs was poisoned. Mr.
Wachtcr tells his own story in the Citizen
Of last week, as follows: II discovered a
COW in the barn yard that was left united
in the stable the evening before. The
door was Shut and boltcd in the morning.
y gcntlcman's glove was found inc the
stable. The COW was swollen and sup
posed to he poisoned. | gave her 10 wa
ter until three o'clock, and then | gave
her bucket of warm salt water. The
glove is black kid, and has a deep cuff ;
the cuff is lined with rcd cotton flannel,
and the hand is lined with white. 7 he
top is stitched with yellow thread. The
glove is n left hand glove, and is supposed
to have been left there by young man
who is left handed | have lost sixteen
head of stock in the last eight years, and
from threats that have been made | have a
reason to believe they died of being poi
soncd.
STILL IN JAIL.--Thc Chambcrsburg
burglars, ROLAND and Johnston were still
in Jail at last accounts. The opinion says
they occupy separate cells, and besides he.
ing securely hobbled, guards arc stationed
in the corridor both day and night Every
prccaution is taken to prevent a surprise
from contcdcratcs without, or friends with
in, and we have been assured that no fears
arc entertained of a release except through
due process of law. The authorities seem
determined that the sCoundrcls shall fully
stone for the Nervousness of their Offense.
We understand that Hollands has his
meals served from the table of the Nation
al, as his dainty palate abhois the coarse
fare dealt out to less serious offenders
This is, probably, well enough if he chooses
to pay for it, and as he has not vet been
condemned, we believe he is entitled to
such privileges. When it was told him
that his bail would probably be fixed at
from $50 OG0 to $4,000, he is said to have
remarked: IF that is the case, ! can't pro-
lUco it and there is only one other thing lef,
tormc to do" What he meant by that we
leave our readers to define. Rolands
wife visits him, possibly once day, but
their interviews are always held under the
eye of one Of the guards.
