tan resignation and was called to her
long and better home. The old lady
was much esteemed by all who knew

A Marrow Escape.--Last week, Mon
day,) boy named Gilbert Huflard, re-
siding in Millerstown attempted to board
freight train while In motion. He
however missed his footing and was
thrown to the ground, one of the wheels
iniuring his foot, so that DR.. Sites was
Obliged to amputate one of his toes. He
was besides considerable bruised, and
made narrow escape from death. With
the frequent warnings before them, 1t
is strange that boys will run these risks.
Missing Horse and Buggy.-On Tuesday
night after returning from church, Mr.,
Robert Reed, of Centre twp, hitched
the horse he had driven, and went in to
warm. Coming out in few moments
Getting Mr.. Sandorson's horse he fol-
lowed the missing animal, (having
learned that buggy and horse answer
ing the description, had been seen going
towards Newport), and succeeded in
overtaling IL near Evarharts. Nothing
was broken and the horse seemed to be
making his way towards the home of
its owner, who was Mr.. Cook in Wild
Cat Valley. 1t is evident that some per-
son united the animal and drove it rs
far as this place, as one of the neighbors
saw it pass and was certain some person
was driving. 1t was certainly n mean
trick and might have resulted very
disastrously.
RObberies. post-ofllce at Mechan-
icsburg was burglarized on Thursday
night last, and one box of stamped en-
veopes, aboubG0 cents in change, and
n counterfeit S5 bill taken. Fortunately
none of the mail matter was dis
turbed.
On the same night, and in all proba-
bility by the same party, the grocery
store of IL. II. Eberly & Co.. in the
same borough was also burglariously
entered and two boxes of cigars, some
tobacco and several dollars in nicllles
carried off,
On Saturday morning between the
hours of three and five, n robbery was
committed in Dillsburg, York county,
which, for cool-headed deliberation, is
not often surpassed. A party of three,
it is supposed from the neighborhood of
Harrisburg, broke into the dry goods
store Of Messrs. Brindle d Metzgqr, at
the above named place, and after help
ing themselves to silks ,laces, kid gloves,
&C., to the amount of five or six hun
dred dollars, left without having their
bills recelpted, or even waking up the
proprietors to thank them for the privi-
lege Of helping themselves. After send
ing the goods by wagon by way of
Shepherdstown, in charge of a confed-
crate the robbers broke the lock belong
ing to the hand car at the railway sta
Iioii ehN hSlipSAotSiJ puShSN lhSll way
over the Cumberland Valley railroad,
passing Mechansicsburg about 4;40 A.
NJ, arriving at Bridgeport shortly after
five o'clock. The watchman at Dills-
burg heard the noise and looking out
saw two men working the car most
vigorously, while third was calmly
seated on the rear end watching for
broken rails and other distractions that
might impede their progress. AT Bridge
port they slowed up and very thought
fully lifted the car over on the stock
yard track, thus leaving the track, clear
for regular trains over the main line
Such careful consideration on the part
of these genteel thieves should be re-
warded; and we doubt not the officers
of the Cumberland Valley railroad will
issue them life passes to the penitentiary
if proper explanation and request were
forwarded Volunteer.
