thias, about one mile east Of this place, mar
rowly escaped destruction by FIRE. The chin
ney caught fire from the pipe, and by sparks
the fire was conveyed to the roof. None of
the men being at home, Mrs. Matthias kept
the FIRE in check while several of the small
natey the flames were extinguished before
much damage was done.
few days ago we we're shown a rye stalk
taken from the field of Mr.. Henry Koontz, of
Silver Run, that measured 8 #. IL inches in
length, and a wheat stalk, taken from the
same place, that measured Il. inch.
Il is reported that $500 in Government
bonds we're lost by German, or stolen from

the northern part of the line between Myers

OF Gettysburg, has been employed to work up
the case.
HoUcEsvILLE ITENs.-The crops in our
country are looking more prosperous and
promise better yield than they nave ever
done since have been IN this section.
Mr.. Henry Stibbs and Mr.. David Reever,
both newcomers in our community, are i'm
proving their farms, fencing, &c. Mr.. s. has
erected large dwelling house, which adds
greatly to the appearance of the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Joel Ebaugh, formerly of Hanover, has
bought tract of land from his father, Mr. H.
Ebaugh, and has resumed farming.
There IS being built a new church 36x45
upon the lot of the one now occupied, known
asBrown's Meeting House. This will be a
considerable improvement, as the old one is
IN very dilapidated condition.
Mr.. John Smiths son, living near this
place, is seriously i'll with erysipelas.
GoRED By Csw-0n Thursday afternoon
of last week, Charles Nusbaum, residing near
Frizzellsburg, was terribly gored by cow
He entered the barn yard about milking time
and was followed by dog. The COW, which
had calf, became Infatuated at the dog and
started towards it; the dog, seeing the attitude
OF the COW, sought protection by running be-
tween Mr.. Ms. legs. The COW came on and
caught Mr. n. on her horns, tossing him up
about fifteen feet. As soon as he struck the
ground she made another attack, and before
those in the yard could go TO his relief she
threw him up again. One of her horns en-
tered his right side above the hip, producing
n very severe wound. Medical assistance
was summoned, and at last accounts he was
improving.
Corr lNJUgEn.-A yeariing colt, belonging
TO Plus j. Babylon, near David Roops Mill,
while playing in the barn yard, on Wednes-
day last, accidentally jumped upon a paling
gate, one of the piekets of which entered
about one foot between the front legs and ex-
tended up between the shoulders. II is prob
able the colt will die.
