quests he left to the children of his
daughter, Christiana Sheridan, the sum
of G120, which sum has never been paid
the legatees, but has remained In the
hands of the various Executors and
Administrators until the present time,
being first in the hands of John Rice,
Executor of John Hague, as the testator
spells 1t, then in the hands of William
Rice, son and Executor of John Rice,
and lastly in the hands of Benz. Jacobs,
son-in-law and administrators of Will
liam Rice who made the application to
to the Orphans court, upon which the
auditor was appointed. At the hearing
of the case on the above, claims were
made on behalf of one hundred and one
persons, being the descendants of Eliza
Hench, children of the testator, and
embracing families of Hench's Leon
ards, Robison's, Thompson's Bessler's,
Bixler's, and Marbles in Perry county,
and Rices, Jacobs ,Robinson's, Saylor's,
Wisehaupt's, Flickinger's, McConnel's,
Hencn s, Calnoun s., Brackbllls, Gron-
inger's, McMeen's and others in Juniata
county, and other claimants in other
parts of Pennsylvania, and some in the
Western States. 1t does not appear
that anything is known of the Sheridan
family from some time before the death
of the testator until now, nor does it
appear that anything is known of the
families of Catherine Clouse, Margaret
Hartman or George Hench, the other
children of the testator, nor is there any
evidence that they left descendants. 1t
is not often that money remains un-
claimed in this part of the country for
rs or 76 years, and considerable interest
is felt by the parties and others as to the
final disposition to be made of this fund
under the law and the facts of the case.-

SHERMANsDALE, Pa, February 6, 1877.
Mr.. Editor Permit me to furnish the readers
of The TIMES a few notes, which have taken
during my recent rambles through part of
Carroll township. The directors, last fall,
erected a good substantial school house in
Pisgah valley, and attached a porch to No. l.
school house and otherwise repaired it, which
now looks almost as well as new. Carroll twp,
now contains eleven schools, and, with a
few exceptions, are taught by young and in
experienced teachers three OF whom are fe-
males. Although the large number of these
pedagogues are but tyros In the profession of
"teaching the young ideas how to shoot, . vet
1t is believed, that the pupils under instructions,
make as much progress as those under the dis
cipline of more experienced ones.
Spelling schools have become so popular in
Carroll twp, that there is one held nearly every
night In the week, and are so well attended
that the teachers find 1t impossible TO accom-
modate all with seats. The principal feature
of these spelling schools is playing ''tig ring"
When person observes the lads and lasses en-
gaging In this pleasant pastime, and eagerly
applying the "two-lip salve," he is almost In
duced to believe that they are making strenu-
GUS efforts to obey the holy command, "Love
one another"
Mr.. Robert Harris has commenced wagon
making at tShermansdale, in the shop formerly
occupied by Mr.. Joseph Dukes, deceased, in
the same business.
AS near as could be ascertained, the ice on
Sherman's creek was about sixteen inches in
thickness.
Persons took advantage of It by crossing and
re-crossing, and by sleighing mp and down the

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week.
On Thursday last Mr.. Jack Riley, of
the First ward borrowed an old-fashioned
horse pistol to shoot rat The weapon
felt a little extra heavy and Jack thought
precaution a wise thing; consequently
he placed the pistol against a door and
taking firm hold pulled the trigger.
There was shock which felt like an
earthquake to Jack and long silence.
Finally Jack opened his eyes, or rather
one of his eyes and began to look around.
A careful examination revealed badly
lacerated hand, cut forehead, bruised
eye and well shocked system. The
pistol had changed into bunch of wood
and iron splinters, and the rat hole at
which the animal was sitting had been
enlarged several inches, hut nary hair or
claw of the rat could be found. Possibly
the force of the explosion blew him
through to China, and furnished some
Celestial with rat pie dinner. On in
quiry Riley learned that the pistol con-
tanned four good loads when he borrow
ed it, and in the light of this informa-
ton Jack congratulates himself that he,
also, was not blown to atoms. Mirror.

Iunlata County. - We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
A healthy child, aged about four years,
of John Gearheart, near Evandale, took
suddenly i'll of maligant scarlet fever
about two weeks ago, and died within
fourteen hours. 1t sickened about four
O'Clock in the afternoon, and died the
next day, afternoon.-Sentii,et.
Tuesday night the store of Lucian
Wilson, at Oakland Mills, one of the
largest stores in the county, was entered
and the safe blown open, which con-
tanned some money and quite number
of Government bonds. After robbing
the safe of the money and bonds, and
taking, 1t is presumed, what goods they
wanted, they set fire to the building,
burning it down, together with the
entire contents, probably $4,000 worth
of goods, together with all the books
and contents. There was a light insur-
ance on the building and goods. The
post-office was also kept in the store,
and about $50 in stamps were either
taken or burned. Everything belonging
to the post-office was burned, including
large number of letters to be delivered,
and to be mailed. The safe contained
quite large amount in bonds, many of
which had been left with Mr.. Wilson by
persons in the neighborhood for safe
keeping.-Den'ocrat and Register.

A Saw Case.-A difficulty growing out
of the disputed ownership of cross-cut
saw arose between John Kroh and w.
S. Mitchell few days ago, and to settle
the matter Kroh brought an action of
trover and conversion against Mitchell
to recover the article or its value in
money, before Esquire Zinn. Kroh al
legged that the saw was q relic of by-gone
days in his family, and that he never
saw saw that sawed like that saw saw
ed. After tracing by competent testimo-
ny that it had been in the family for
years, the Squire gave Judgment against
Mitchell for the saw and $6.50 costs. We
would have valued this saw as being
worth about fifty cents in currency

THE Huntingdon Monitor says: 1t becomes
our painful duty. to chronicle the sad death
of Miss Anna c. Strickler, aged about twen-
" years. of this place. She lived with her
sister, Mrs. Hight, in West Huntingdon,
and Oh Monday last she gave Asahel Hight,
small boy about six years of age, an order,
with instructions to take il TO Smiths Drug
Store, and procure ten cents worth OF ar
senic, which was put up in the usual form.
and marked s'poison." Strange to say,
Miss Stricken took the whole quantity OF
the deadly poison, which was doubtless
enough to kill fifty persons. Soon after
lently, and DR.. Brumbiugh was called In at
a late hour that night, but medical skill was
unavailins, and after lingering until about
8 O'Clock on Tuesday morning, her spirit
took its flight. When il was discovered on
Monday afternoon that her situation was
critical, her father was summoned TO her
and she informed him that she had taken
poison in order TO destroy her life. A cor
oner's inquest was held over the body, and
after examining several witnesses the jury
returned verdict from which we extract
the following
:. That the said Anna C. Strickler came to
her death, on the 3lst Of July, 1871, from
the effects OF a large quantity OF arsenic.
taken by her the previous afternoon, snd
administered by her own hand, whilst labor
ing under great mental depression, super
induced by trouble"
The Jury also censure the druggist for
carelessness in selling the poison The evil
deDce taken before the coroner's Jury
showed that deceased was pregnant at the
time of her death, and it is believed that
this fact caused the /" mental depression"
viii ich resulted in her committing suicide.
The case is indeed a sad one, and we deeply
sympathize with the friends OF the unfortu-
nate Young woman.
