Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
A valuable horse belonging to Mr..
Jack Rohrer, of North Middleton town
ship, by some means had one of his legs
broken one day last week. We presume
the animal had to be killed.
The sale of the Ahl properties by the
Sheriff was again stopped on Friday
last. The amount of land that had been
advertised for this sale equGlled 10000
acres.
On Monday morning Charlie, young
son Peter Ege, was run over by farm
wagon back of the st. Clair Hotel, and
unfortunately had a leg broken. 1t was
given prompt attention and the little
fellow is getting along finely.
On Tuesday last, son of Peter Noak-
er, living few miles east of town, while
engaged in removing the powder from
cartridge from which he had taken
the ball, the shell exploded, lacerating
his hand in a fearful manner, necessi-
tating the amputation of one of his
fingers. The amputation was performed
by Drs. Schoch and Mowers.
The executive committee has decided
to hold the Elders Convention in the
Big Spring Presbyterian church ofNew-
vile, on Wednesday and Thursday,
December 18th and 18th, 1878. AS the
18th is the day upon which the Presby-
terion Sabbath School convention meets
in the same place, it has been arranged
to make the occasion one of great inter-
est to both conventions and to those that
attend.
Some months ago the windows of the
Presbyterian Church at Middle Spring,
were partly demolished in a malicious
manner, and of which notice was made
at the time. The suspected parties were
arrested, and at the Quarter Sessions this
week the guilt was fastened upon John
Marpole, who was also convicted for
assault and battery. The sentenced i'm
posed was six months to the county Jail
in each case.
One day recently, as Mr. II. C. Noel
attempted to start H. Lily's mill, in
Conewago township, Adams county,
there appeared to be want of power to
move the machinery, although there
was sufficiency of water. Upon exam
ination the turbine wheel was found to
be completely clogged with cells, twelve
of which filled a large bucket Alto
getheT four buckets of eels were captur-
ed-all having had their backs broken
while in the wheel. =
