Got His Moneys Worth. We remember
hearing of an old lady who, to save
lot of sucotash which threatened to
sour from the effect of thunder storm,
called up the children in the night to
eat it, and the next day had to call the
doctor to save the children. The old
lady must have brother living in Sa-
vile township, as one of the residents
of that part of the county, during last
term of court stopped at one of our
hotels, and was shocked to find that the
charge for dinner was forty cents. De-
termined to save his money he said if
that was the charge he would try and
eat the worth of it, and so well did
he succeed that he was i'll from the eff
fects of it for two weeks. AS the man
tells the story on himself it is no doubt
true.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
Two bushels of rats were recently
taken from well in Oakville. The fla
vor of that well must have been border
ing on the delectability of the water at
fashionable watering places.
Charles, son of VIM. Young, of the
First ward, was badly gored by COW,
near Jackson's livery, on Bedford street,
on Sunday. The little fellow suffers
very much from his injuries.
Last week number of market men
on their way from Frankford township
to Carlisle, were stopped by tramps and
small sum of money demanded. The
demand in some cases was complied
with.
William Rider, of Mt. Holly Springs,
was arrested and lodged in the county
Jail last Wednesday for breaking into
the dwelling of Mr.. George Brindle, at
Boiling Springs, and carrying away o
lot of meat, knives, &c. The stolen
property was found in his possession.
Jacob d. Hoover, of South Middleton,
tenant of Mrs. Martin, threshed on the
10th inst, 5l4 sheaves of wheat, which
yielded by measure 54 bushels This
wheat was delivered at the warehouse of
Harry Snyder, and weighed 66t pounds
to the bushel.
On Friday night, between nine and
ten O'Clock, an attempt was made to
steal one of w. A. & A. f. Mullin' IS
blooded horses. Fortunately, Mr. Jos.
M'Bride, who was passing the barn at
that time, and seeing a stranger in the
horse stable, gave the alarm when the
thief hastily fled.
On Saturday night horse was stolen
from the stable of Samuel e. Heberlig,
who lives a short distance west of New
vile. From the fact that bride was
secured in another stable, it is believed
the thief was some one familiar with
the place. A saddle was also taken.
During the storm, on Thursday last,
the lightning struck the barn of
Mr.. Benz. Mickey, near the Stone
Church, in Frankford township, and
tearing off number of the shingles
passed down through the building and
struck valuable cow, killing her in
stantly. No other damage was done,
and calf at the side of the COW was un-
injured.
A somewhat destructive hail storm
passed over this vicinity on Saturday
afternoon. Its line of severity seemed
to be west of town covering not very
wide belt in the direction of Newburg.
Some of the stones were enormously
large and came to the earth with whizz.
Corn fields belonging to James and Jo-
seph Koons, Alexander M'Caleb, Peter
Myers, John Killian and others suffered
severely. Some of the largest stones
came to the earth jagged edged and
measured fully six inches in circumfer-
ence. Hogs belonging to Jos; Rooms,
the hail.
We have received a number of hard
green apples with deep indentations in
them, besides being broken and split
showing the force of the hail.-Nea0UiUe

Effects of Lightning. the thun-
der storm on Thursday afternoon the
barn of David Harshberger, about
mile west of Mattawana, Mifllin county,
was struck twice by lightning, and with
the hay, grain, wheat and other produce
therein was totally consumed. Two
tramps coming down the road had taken
shelter in the wagon-shed, and when the
building was struck, at the solicitation
of the women, (no men being about the
house at the time), proceeded to get out
the colts, but before they had accom-
plished it second stroke stunned one of
the tramps. He was drawn into the
barnyard by his companion, where he
recovered, when they again got to work
and succeeded in releasing all the stock
except two calves in back stable. BY
this time the station hands came up,
burst open the barn doors and got out the
reaper and some other implements, and
the women secured most of the harness.
In fifteen or twenty minutes the whole
building was mass of flame, and all
that the bystanders could do was to wit
ness its complete destruction. The
loss will probably reach from $4,000 to
900 on which there is an insurance
of 5000. Camp Meeting Daily.
Remarkable Cave Discovered In Hunting
don County.-Some time ago Mr.. Neff,
residing near Alexandria, Huntingdon
county, went to his we'll, to get drink,
and found it dry. He then went down
into the well to make repairs, and was
much surprised to find not pint of
water, and the bottom fallen out. A
cool breeze blew up strong enough to
rustic the leaves of tree standing near.
He tied a lantern to rope one hundred
feet long and let it down and as the Ian
tern still burned he rightly concluded
that the air was pure. He then procured
a spliced rope three hundred feet in
length and to the end attached basket
containing lantern, dog and cat
He let them down, striking bottom at
two hundred and ninety-one feet. At
the end of six hours, the basket was
broughtup. The lantern was still burn
ing, and the only visible effect OH the
dog and the cat was chilliness. The
next day the owner of the well accom-
panied by trusty neighbor, Mr.. Lef-
ford, descended to the bottom. What
was their surprise to find an immense
cave, stretching miles and milesin every
direction. Stalagmites and stalactites
of magnificent gorgeousness lent beauty
and variety to the otherwise tomb-like
scene. Here and there flowing stream
of water rippled over stony beds, while
thousands and thousands of bats flutter-
ed their clammy wings, surprised at the
intrusion of man. Petrified seashells of
q hundred varieties strewed the floors
and protruded from the strata. After
spending ten or twelve hours of contin-
uous wondering, during which time
they penetrated beneath and beyond
Alexandria, and discovered vein of
nickel ore and a nugget of metal resem-
bling antimony, they returned to the
surface, where their half stricken wives
clasped them to bosoms, thinking they
had been lost.
1t is supposed that this cave is con-
nected with those at Warrior Ridge and
Sinking Valley, only few miles away.
Specimens of the nickel ore have been

lunIata County, We copy the follow
ing from the Junlata county papers of
last week.
A four-year old son of David Louder,
who lives In Fermanagh township,
had his right arm broken between the
wrist and elbow, last Friday, by q fall
from mule, that was one of three
mules, that was pulling at q boat, that
was stuck" short distance below the
second lock north of town.
A lamp in the house occupied by Jas.
Dunn, on Third street, exploded last
Friday evening about half past eight
O'Clock, scattering the oil over the carpet
and setting fire to everythink that 1t
reached. The family was so confused
by the occurrence, that effective work
on their part against the flames was al
most entirely destroyed. Mr.. George
Smith, who on his way to meeting of
Sabbath School teachers held in the
Lutheran church, saw the trouble from
the pavement, and rushed in and helped
to smother the fire. A heavy piece of
oilcloth was the most effective weapon
in the smothering process.-SentineL.
