/MR. Editor saturday, July 2ast., the pic
mic season was duly inaugurated with much
ecldt, in this part of the county.
Early In the morning, Notwithstanding the
lowering clouds, the eXcursionists began to ar
rive from the surrounding county and neigh
boring villages.
Soon groups of young men gathering on
prominent corners, began discussing the wealth
er proha bilites, interspersing their conversa-
tious with such mysterious but harmless terms
as 'mountains," ''rocks,'' ''rattlesnakes," !"
'thucl7leberries," etc., Of course, when this
language was overheard and noised abroad, It
had gaite soothing effect on the nerves of
some of our more timtd citizens whose fears
had Become aroused at the number of young
mercontlnually arriving and who were dread
ingaa Rail Road "str6e 4" and what was worse
the consequent visitation of Phil. Sheridan and
the Ickesburg cavalry.
Alto o'clock the procession formed, "took
in' provision, and what was of infinitely more
Importance to the blushing swains-eharming
young lades-then toward the mountain 8
scnth of Centre, ever hills and through bol-
lows, echoed the merry laugh of the joyous
party, the line Of buggies proceeded.
The top of the mountain was reached at last
when the fuu began In earnest. Song and
shout, tender glances (2) 6oi-naots puns, fall
ing over rocks, killing snakes, holding inquests
over the remaiae by an improylsed jury, hear
ing OF the verdict; varied by gathering fern
and festooning the party until each fair damsel
looked not unlike the wood nymph of the poets
fancy.
How quickly the day sped away, and the
time for return came around. Forward, once
more DowR the mountain, with now and
then glimpse 6f the quiet valleys lying below.
These panoramic views were highly apprecia-
ted, and caused many bursts of admiration for

dark and weird, casting their shadows across
the valley. The spires Of the village were soon
visible, assuring us that our journey was al
most over Home, happy good nights, and

1 am well satisfied" was the verdict of all.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lewing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
On the farm of John Shoop, near
Shiremanstown Cumberland CO., while
Daniel Straming, the tenant, was haul
ing grain a few days ago the front horse
in stepping upon the barn floor tramped
On matches, which We're lying there
igniting the matches and setting fire to
Loose wheat lying on the floor. The
fire was at once discovered and the
horses removed and after.a considerable
effort the fire was put under control and
the burning wheat pushed into the barn
yard. A few seconds more and the fire
would have been beyond control of the
persons present !; and we'll filled barn
destroyed. The matches were supposed
to have been dropped by two boy tramps
who had lodged there the night before.
On Saturday afternoon last the resi-
dence of William Weary, on the Balti-
more turnpike, was visitedby two tramps
who succeeded in forcing an entrance
into the house, the family being absent.
The robbers carried away q lot of cloth
ing and small sum of money. The
tramps were followed by Oeficer Hays,
of Carlisle, who succeeded in arresting
them at Shiremanstown on Sunday
afternoon. They acknowledged their
guilt, and are now in the county jail
awaiting trial at the August Sessions.
We are informed by subscriber that
the grave of George Lucas Ina the yard
of the Mennonite church, on the Lis
burn road below Carlisle was found
strangely disturbed few weeks ago.
The clay was found cleanly cut down to
the rough box by hands unknown. On
the afternoon of the 23rd inst, a COM
pany of about twenty five persons re-
paired to the graveyard and opened the
rough box and coffin. The investiga-
ton showed that the corpse had not
been removed, but the coffin had been
split, one hinge broken and one screw
lost by the would-be robbers. The grave
yard is very much isolated and as there
is dense wood of thirty acres near at
hand the place is favorably situated for
body-stealing aud the neigbbors have
strong suspicious that that kind of work
has been going on. The body being so
decomposed is thought to be the reason
why 1t was not disturbed Nes0Viile

ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
During the prevalence of the thunder
storm on Friday evening last, very
valuable COW and two calves belonging
to b. i. Schweir, ESD, editor of the
Sentinel, were killed by lightning. They
were standing under an apple tree at the
time.
NTessrs. Showers & Scholl, q few days
before the recent strike, shipped eleven
new top buggies to Warren, Indiana,
since which time nothing can be heard
about them. There seems to be no doubt
that they were burned in the wholesale
destruction of freight trains at Pitts
burgh. If SO, 1t is quite serions loss,
about 81 800, to these gentlemen, partic-
ularly In times like these. We hope the
buggies may yet turn up all right.
Two very fine young horses belonging
to Mr.. jeremiah Loudenslager, of Della
ware township this county were killed
by lightning on Friday evening of last
week. The horses were under a large
chestnut tree during The storm. The
lightning struck the tree shattering 1t
considerably and killing both horses.
The one was found after the storm lying
against the tree and the other against
the fence close by. There were no visi-
BILE marks of violence to be seen upon
them except that blood was oozing from
the ears of the one.
On Saturday evening William Nc
Manigle and James Koons engaged in
an alteration, resulting in McManigle
striking Koons over the head, as Rooms
alleges, with an,iron poker, cutting an
ugly cash two inches in length. DR..
Shelley dressed the wound. McManigle
was arrested and taken before Esquire
Stimmei and gave bail for his appear
ance.-Port RoyaJ Times.
Last Saturday evening Nathan Bell, a
young man, hired with William KaufE-
man, residing a short distance above
Port Royal, was injuredby the discharge
of q pistol, which he was playing with,
tearing the flesh off the third finger OF
the right hand, causing very painful
wound.
