Michael Stoner's dog, Pike, freed three
coons the other day, but when the tree was
cut to get the animals, the dog managed to
get under it, and was crushed. An unhappy
hunt, truiy-unhappy for the coons. for they
were all caught; unhappy for the dog, for
he met bis death, and unhappy for the owner
of the dog, for in his death the owner met
with loss that cannot be replaced at will.

formed that the celebrated nickle mines
at Gap, Lancaster county, worked for
several years past exclusively by the
United States government, will soon be
abandoned, and that operations will not

of this is reported to be the discovery,
in New CALEDONIA, of very rich deposits
of niokle ore, where it is said to crop
out aboYe the surface of the ground, so
that it can be mined with very little
tronble or expense

VINO KILLED THE PEDDbER . This is a
question that is agitating the minds OF peo-
pic in the vicinity of Montgomery's Ferry.
IT appears that some time in July, 1876, a
peddler stopped at house IN that vicinity,
and rather my steriously disappeared, leaving
his horse and wagon, and has never return
ed. The body of an unknown man was
Duncan's Island, and now it is thought by
many persons that the unknown man and
the peddler are the same individuals. At
any rate, the talk warrants an Investigation
of the matter, and .he threats of certain
persons TO ..tell WHO killed the pcddler :"
makes it look as though there was pretty
fair chance to put a crime where il belongs,
and clear up a mystery. As we have SAID
before, We say again, that good detective
is sadly needed in the vicinity of Montgom-
ery's Ferry. He might not only break up
the stealing, but find out who killed the
peadler
A few nights since, Mr.. Adam Clouser, of
this place, set some steel traps to catch an
owl that was visiting his chicken coop. The
next morning one of the traps was missing
A young man while hunting day or two
afterward shot an owl, and was greatly as
tonished as the bird fell from the tree, to
hear the clanking of chains, as he supposed &.
1t proved 10 be the owl which had flown
away with the missing steel trap, fast to its
legs.
On Thursday young man named John
Moore, residing in Harrisburg. fell while
trying to get ON moving freight train near
Losh's Run, and was run over by the entire
train. He was not only cut in two, but had
both arms cut off. The remains were gath
cred up and taken to his home, after an in
quest had been held.
On Saturday last, Mr.. William Askins,
whilst fishing for bass In Sherman's creek,

PEOPLE

who were present outnrmbered those
in attendance at Riverside Park fair,
and the percentage of Aymish peo-
pie was larger, owing probably to
the fact that larger population of
that people live in AIifflin county.
A round of the ground caused us
to look for seat in the shade, seat
on the grand stand could have been
had, but that was too exclusive when
the people were to be seen. An ELI
gible place was found on a cook stove
at the extreme South end of Fine
Arts Hall, where we sat and saw at
least two thousand people file right
and left through that end of the
house. Farmers, preachers, doctors,
lawyers and every other class of
citizens filed by. Children of all
sizes, and mothers with babes passed
along, which suggested the thought
that the fairs of Pennsylvania might
have baby department added, which
would be as attractive, as among the
people of the west. There-that is
in the west-almost every county
fair has a baby department, into
which all babies present on a stat
ed day, are brought and examined by
the committe on babies, and the
mother whose baby fills the require
ments Of the premium list receives a
valuable reward or premium The
babies of Mifffin county that were
present last Thursday were hand
some, and many of the children that
passed by our stove were real attrac-
tive in appearance, and that there are
useful as well as pretty little girls
in Lewistown, is abundantly testified
to. when the facts is stated that four
or five of the quilts that decorated
the south end of the building OF
which we write were made by a
class of SIX to eight year old girls,
