Iuniata County. - We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
On Monday night four-year old mare
was stolen from the stable of Samuel
Valentine in Milford twp. A reward of
$25 is offered. .-Senti1eL.
On Wednesday last, Philo Pannebaker
and his son Robert, were engaged in
gigging eels in the Juniata river. In
striking at an eel, Philo made a mis-
stroke, driving the gig through Roberts
left foot, making an ugly wound.
On Tuesday of last week, the resi-
dence of Mr.. Amos Stouffer, in Walker
twp, was discovered to be on fire. The
fire originated in a bed, in one of the
bed rooms upstairs, and the bedding was
partly consumed when the fire was dis
covered. The hired man had fashion
of smoking in the room, and it is sup
posed the bedding caught fire from a
spark from his pipe.
On Friday last Mr.. L. M. Ewing,
residing at Esh's Mill, in Spruce Hill
township, met with quite painful
accident. He was engaged in building
a trunk to carry water from the forebey
to the water-wheel, and in jumping from
the embankment into the forebey
alighted on a nail, which penetrated the
sole of his foot, near the toes, piercing
entirely through the foot.
On Friday last, as Messrs. John and
James Patterson, of Spruce Hill town
ship, were returning from church at
McCoysville, accompanied by Mrs. John
Patterson, her two children, and Miss
Margaret Patterson, seated in wagon
drawn by two horses, one arm of the
tongue became detached from the wagon
while descending hill near the residence
of Mr.. Daniel Keimer, causing the
horses to take fright and run away. The
wagon was upset, and the occupants
thrown out, seriously iniuring the two
ladies about the head and face.-Port
ROy0J Times.
Last Wednesday evening the Misses
Pattons and Mr.. Vandyke, Jr., of Cen
treville, were coming to Mifflintown quite
pleasantly in q carriage. When oppo-
site the Mexico Foundry some disar-
rangement of the harness frightened the
horse, and by sudden movement he up
set the carriage. The three occupants
fell out in such a way that their united
weightso held the top of the vehicle
that when the horse sprang away the
carriage top broke off and left the two
ladies and the gentleman out, all lying
in heap in the road, entirely clear of
the dangerous wreck. The horse dashed
away to the creek bordering the town of
Mexico, and after traversing it some
distance was caught.

For The Times
ELLIoTsBURG, June 9th 1877.

ELL1oTsBURG, June 9th 1877.
< Mr.. EDITOR "A long while has elapsed
since l contributed to the columns of THE
TIMES but as am now at leisure, | will fur
nsh the numerous readers of your journal q
few items of news from this section. New bells
have recently been placed upon the st. Peters
and Elliotsburg Reformed churches, and in q
few weeks they will be dedicated to the triune
God. Several pastors from distance are ex-
pected to be present on those occasions to par
ticipate in the ceremonies. Arrangements are
now being made to procure large chandelier
for the Lutheran church of this place, which,
we hope, will enlighten that congregation more
brilliant than the old one does. There are
now three Sabbath schools organized at FL
liotsburg but in point of numbers the Luther
an school surpasses the rest, having nearly
hundred pupils in regular attendance.
The Hartman Family gave concert here q
fewweeks ago, which proved, in all respects,
success.
A Scioptician exhibition was also given here,
which was much appreciated by the audience.
Miss Weeden's lectures on temperance were
highly commended, and many express a de-
sire to hear her again.
Miss Annie Showalter has opened a sub
scription school in Little Germany, and we
learn that she is well qualified for that POSI-
tion.
All the lands in Germany Valley and vicini-
ty have been leased for mining purposes but
the coal and mining company of this valley
have suspended operation for the present.
Four or five shafts have been opened, but none
to very great depth. No coal as yet has been
discovered.
Mr.. G. w. Reeder's corn crib and Mr.. Henry
Foose's spring house have been visited by some
petty thieves, and stole therefrom several
bushels of corn and crock of milk. Mush
and milk must be in demand somewhere.
Miss Ella M. Dromgold has become Post
Mistress at Elllotsburg, j. T. Rice having re-
signed. The Post Office will now be removed
from the store to the private residence of Mrs.
Willis of that place. OMEGA.

coal oil lamp In the lower room of the
church exploded with O loud report,
and in an instant the benches and floor
In the vicinity were blazing with the

indebted to 1.-THE Weather Buck, >" and
to the Miller brothers, the well known

all hands would like to return them
their thanks, but as they hardly know
