New HAVEN, Conn, has introduced a
telephone district system which is prov
ing far superior to the culinary district
telegraph. There is central office
from which wires run to the houses or
offices of persons owning telephones,
and when a man in one part of the city
wishes to converse with one in another
section, he calls to the central Office and
his wire is connected with any other de-
sired. Friends scattered around the city
can call each other and enjoy an even

chooses can hear what every body else

The GrasshOpper Plague.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The follow
ing passage taken from the close of the
Introduction to the Report of the Unit
ed States chronological Commission,
now going through the press, will be
read with interest. The term g tempo
rary region refers to the fertile coun-
try beyond the Mississippi and south of
the 10th parallel, which is more particu-
larly subject to grasshopper ravages
and the confident and encouraging state
ments of the Commission will relieve
any anxiety as to the future of that rich
agricultural region:
ave can not well close this introduce
ton without some statement of our
views as to the locust prospects for the
Immediate future, since our opinions are
constantly being asked for. That the
insect will, in the future, again pour
down at times from its breeding grounds
into the temporary region, unless, by
the cooperation of the two Govern
ments interested, it is prevented
from so doing by the course
we recommend, or by some still more
feasible course yet to be discovered,
there can be no reasonable doubt, yet
in proportion as the country becomes
settled will the locust injury be more
and more easily controlled. But we do
not hesitate to give it as our deliberate
opinion that there will be no serious in
jury in such temporary region the com
ing summer, and probably not for sew
eral years to come. We rest this con-
clusion, firstly, on our personal exam
nations the past autumn over much of
the country named; secondly, on the
reports of correspondents in said coun-
try (App. R. p; and, thirdly, on the
reports from the extreme Northwest on
permanent region. These show that
none of the insects of any consequence
that Matched in the temporary region
remained to lay eggs; that scarcely any
eggs were laid by the scattering autumn
swarmers, and that, with few cxcep-
lions, the permanent region east of the
mountains is likewise remarkably free
of eggs"

FrightfuI Run Off, A frightful run off
occurred on Tuesday morning, which
may probably result in the loss of life.
The particulars are as follows: AS the
horses attached to the Montgomery
House bus were leaving the depot, the
bit on one of the horses broke, Mr.. Nc
Kinley, the proprietor, was driving and
VIM. Pinns, porter, seated inside the
bus. The horses started off at a furious
rate down King street, and running on
the pavement, : Mr.. Mckinley was thrown
from his seat to the ground and seriously
injured, the extent of which we are un-
able to learn at this time. He was pick
ed up, taken to the house of Mr.. Scott
Flack, and from thence removed to the
hotel. Mr.. Pinns, in trying to get off,
was struck by the cart, hurled against a
lamp post, his head being badly cut, and
it is feared his skull cracked, and that
his injuries may prove fatal. He was
taken to his home. The horses ran on
to the end of King street before they
were checked. They escaped injury.
The wheel of the bus was broken.-

3, The Priee-of PorkS-The price of pork
Ihas never been so low as now, the reason
for which is that the hog crop of the west
is simply immense. The present season IS
supply is estimated at 100000 and it
may be greater. The Chicago Tribune
asserts that it is not likely that the price
of live hogs in the west will be above
three cents per pound for long time,
and any fair minded observer cannot
help but come to the same conclusion.z
There ison1y one way in which money
can be made out of them, and that is by
raising only the best breeds and giving
them the best care. 1t is probable that
the low prices will discourage many
formers, and that in couple of years
there will be large falling off in num-
bers.

missionary the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of
consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and
all throat and lung affections, also a positive
and radical cure for nervous debility, and all
nervous complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, has felt 1t his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive
and desire to relieve human suffering, will

Juniata County We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
On Sunday evening week, just as
Kurtz Oberholtzer and Mary Swanger
had seated themselves in q buggy to
drive from Locust Run church, the
horse frightened, became eunmanageable,
ran, upset the buggy, and of course left
the occupants lying in the road. For
tunately they were not hurt beyond a
few bruises. Tobe O'Donnell caught
the runaway horse not far from the
church.
Last Wednesday night thieves enter
ed the cellar of the residence of Elias
Horning, in Fermanagh township, and
and stole therefrom demijohn of good

entrace to the cellar through a window.
They also visited the cellar of Solomon
Shirk, who lives not far from Horn
ing's. Their draft on Shirlx's meat ves-t
sci was heavier than that made on
Horning's. Horning has a cane that
the thieves left.

How 1t Happened week we MOTTO
ed the fact that brother of DIR. Ards
was killed at Port Royal by the cars.
A correspondent sends us the following
particulars About o'clock on Friday
night Hiram Ard started to drive out to
his fathers residence. The night was
very dark, and the horse he drove was
spirited animal. By some means he
drove into an alley that crosses the rail
road by descending several stone steps,
and is intended only for travel on foot.
When he reached the stone steps his
horse stopped, but Mr.. A. not knowing
the reason, it being very dark, forced
the animal forward. AS the horse
jumped to the track the buggy was up
set, and the driver thrown out, and was
probably rendered insensible by the fall.
The horse ran up the rail road and was
shortly stopped by some person, who
at once searched for the driver. Before
they found him however, a freight train
came along, and if the engineer
saw the body on the track, he was un-
able to stop his train till too late. Mr..
A. was terribly mutilated, his body
being cut in two. The deceased was a
young man generally liked, and his sad
fate cast gloom over our town, while
his friends have the sympathy of all
who know them.

Footpads Attack and Rob Citizen-On
Monday evening, Mr.. John Marks,
resident of Chambersburg, was attack
ed, gagged and robbed of six hundred
and fifty dollars. Mr.. Marks is cattle
dealer, and was out on this business
Between 5 and o'clock, as he was
driving along the Scotland road, near
the Cumberland Valley railroad, close
to a strip of woods, a man sprang out,
grabbed his horse and stopped it at the
same time two others jumped over the
fence, approached the buggy and de-
manded his money. Refusing to COM
ply, they dragged him from the buggy,
threw him down, gagged him, tying his
hands behind his back, and relieved him
of his pocket book, containing the
above amount. The horse was then
tied to the fence, when the highwaymen
fled towards Scotland. Mr.. Marks made
his way to Mr.. Israel Sollenberger's res
idence near by, where, after kicking at
the door some time, he was admitted, re-
leased from his thongs, and brought
home. The police force are using every
effort to ferret out these scoundrcls, who
