Junlata COunty.-We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
On Friday last, while Henry X. Lett
er was driving from Port Royal to Mex
leo, his horse took fright while opposite
William Hetrick's barn, and in the con-
fusion the horse and wagon went over
an embankment of thirty feet. The
wagon was entirely broken up, but the
horse received only few scratches. Mr..
Letter, in jumping out of the wagon,
had his hand hurt considerably. The
wagon was new one and cost Mr..
Il. SIS.
About o'clock Wednesday morning
our citizens were aroused from their
beds by the cry of fire and the ringing
of the bell on the Lutheran church. The
fire was discovered to be in what is
known as the "strong room," in the
northeast sorner of the county Jail, be-
tween the plastering and the attic. 1t
is thought that the fire originated from
q defect in the flue. The fire was extin-
guished without doing any serious dam
age, except to the one room in which it
originated.-Democrot d Register.

overcome with fear and excitement,
and was taken to nelghboring house
where restoratives were applied, and she
was soon herself again. And now the
crowd vented their delight at the sue
cess of their coup de main in hearty
cheers. In little while handsome
carriage, surrounded by an improvised
guard of honor, took her to the house
of friend, where she made her toilet,
and in q little while she was standing,
side by side with the man of her choice,
at the chancel of the Methodist church
where Mr.. Buckley, its pastor, assisted
by Mr.. Logan, of the Presbyterian con-
gregation, performed the ceremony
which ended their troubles for the pres
ent. There is very strong feeling here
against the elder brother of the bride, he
having written insolent letters to Mr..
Buckley, the pastor, and the trustees of
the Methodist church, and having been
generally conspicuous In the affair.
Thus ends the romance and q stranger
one venture to say rarely comes to the
surface of society.

Mysterious Disappearance Mr.. John
Nisey, clerk to the county treasury at
Harrisburg, mysteriously disappeared
on Wednesday evening. He started to
the train to meet his wife who was ex-
pected home, but failed to meet her, and
has not been seen since. He was young
man of good habits, and as far as is
known his money matters are all correct.
1t is feared he has met with foul play.

Sudden Death.-Mr. John Shank, an
aged and respected citizen of Antrim
twp, Franklin county, died suddenly on
Saturday last at his residence near
Greencastle. Mr.. Shank had been un-
well for some time, but on the day of his
death was still able to go about, and had
gone to the barn to attend to some duties
where he was shortly after found dead
Mr.. Shank was the founder of the large
Dunkard church, which he had erected
with his own means on his own prop
erty.-Repos

A Dangerous Fellow Between seven
and eight O'Clock on Sunday evening a
difficulty occurred between the captain
of the boat Hiawatha," Mr.. Rhodes
of Liverpool, and bowsman - whose
name is given as Snyder-about matter
of wages. The "bowsman, who is
reported to have been under the influence
of liquor, followed Captain Rhodes across
the canal to the stable were the team be-
longing to the boat was sheltered, and
there began to bull-doze' Mr.. Rhodes,
who told him in plain words that he
would not have any words with him on
Sunday. This so enraged the brute
that he deliberately drew a revolver and
threatened to use it then and there.
Persons who were present then inter-
fered, when the bully walked off. Capt.
Rhodes made information against the
bully the next morning, but when the
latter was wanted he could not be found
He even forgot to come back to settle.
Mr.. Rhodes boat was freighted with
lumber, and he left here one hand short,
but appeared to be glad to get rid of the
violator of law and decency.- Harris

Constable took near cut across the
hills for home, and after travelling for
u considerable length of time made an
observation as to the latitude he was
in, and found that he was near Markell
vile, and still travelling. A colloquy
then ensued as to whether he was him
self or somebody else, which being
satisfactorily determined he set out once
more, and arrived to near the starting
point. After further trials and trihula-
tions he succeeded in reaching his home
in time to tie in the stock.

Horse Thief Captured. Friday morning

Horse Thief Captured morning
o man came to York, offered horse for
sale at Kindig's sale stables. Suspicion
was aroused and they refused to buy.
The man then left, and he was follow
ed by constables Berry and Hummer to
Dover. The man there again offered
the animal to Mr.. Haas, the hotel keep
er, and Mr.. III. gave him check for $74,
but did not sign 1t, as he thought all was
not right, but the man was too dumb to
notice this. The officers then arrested
and brought him back to York and took
him to Squire Myers office. A short
time after telegram was received here
from Mt. JOY, Lancaster county, stat
ing that black roam horse and other
description answering to that of the
horse this party had offered for sale. On
information of Officer Berry the man
was committed to jail to await action of
the grand jury, at the next term of court.
He gave his name as Henry Miller to
the Squire. but at Dover had said his
name was Henry Shaeffer, to which
name the check was made out.
The parties from whom the horse was
stolen offer reward of S25 for the horse
and $40 for the recovery of the horse and
thief. The horse was left at Dover until
further information shall be received.
Miller or Shaeffer states that he lives
at Middletown, where he has a wife and
children, and that he bought the horse
from his brother about one year ago. He
was partly under the influence of liquor
when before the Squire York True
Democrat.
