Junlata County.-We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
Last Thursday evening Mrs. John
Jones, colored woman, residing in
Port Royal, left her hame at o'clock to
fill an engagement at house work at
Mrs. .McCulloch's. About midnight rail
road track patrolman found the colored
woman, dead, in sitting posture, against
the wall of the road bridge which eros
ses the railroad at the lower road crossing
in Port Royal. 1t is conjectured that
she missed the bridge in the dark, walk
ed over the abutment and was killed by
the fall. She was not killed outright by
the fall, for by the appearance of the
track she had dragged her body to where
it was found.
A serious trouble between man
named Vaun and two Wilson brothers
took place few nights ago Waterford,
this county, during the holding of an
exhibition at the village just mention
ed. Some sort of feud has been in
existence between the parties for
some time. The men met outside of the
building while the exhibition was in
progress. Vaun was knocked down by
club in the hands of the brothers, and
while he lay on the ground, was shot at.
A bullet from pistol knocked off
middle finger at the hand joint, and an
ugly bullet wound was also made in his
cheek, but the bullet so struck his face
that it glanced off instead of entering
his head.-SentineI.
On Sunday night last some villainous

Cumberland COunty.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
Charley Braun, of Shippensburg, has
been arrested for being implicated in the
Reeder robbery in that borough.
On Monday afternoon last very pain
full accident occurred to Robert Thomp-
son, colored, while engaged at work in
eXcavating the well in the rear of the
Court House. A large wooden bucket
was used in lifting the broken stone
from the we'll, and when the men above
were about reaching for the bucket, it
slipped from the hook and struck
Thompson who was at the bottem of
the well) on the head, knocking him
senseless. His fellow -workmen hurried
ly made arrangements for getting the
injured man from the we'll. Drs. Krise
and Zeigler were Immediately summon
ed and dressed the unfortunate mans
injuries. AT first it was supposed the
skull had been fractured, but such is not
the case.
A few minutes before o'clock on
Thursday morning of last week, the
Court House bell sounded the fire alarm.
The fire was found to be in the large
three-story brick building on the corner
of Hanover and South streets, and
occupied by Mr.. William Blair as a
residence and grocery. The first indica-
ton Mr.. b. had of. the fire was at 81
O'Clock, when he awoke, and found the
house filled with smoke. Proceeding
down stairs he found the store rom

tilled with fire and smoke. The alarm
was given, and the fire department was
not slow In responding. Until the
steamers were ready for service the
store room was kept closed tightly, so
that the fire could get no draught. BY
this means the fire was confined ex-
clusively to the store room and cellar,
and was soon extinguished by the heavy
streams of water that were pouring into
the room. The fire originated in q
small drawer under the counter, in
which were kept loose matches. Loss,

The Band Exhibition on Friday and
Saturday night last was well attended
by audiences who could hardly have
failed to feel that they had got the worth
of their money. The programme was
good and all acted their allotted parts In
an exceedingly creditable manner. We
learn that 1t is proposed to select the best
from the two programmes and give one
performance at Duncannon before long.
If that is done, we can assure the citi-
zens of that place that they will find it
an entertainment worthy of their hearty
support.

Barned Burned.-Shortly after7 O'Clock
on Monday evening of last week a
bright light was seen by the citizens of
this borough, which many thought to
be from fire at Landisburg. 1t proved,
however, to be the barn belonging to
Mr.. Joseph Lightner, in Sheaffer's Val
ley, Tyrone township. The building
and quite quantity of hay and grain
were destroyed. Previous to the fire all
the cattle and colts were turned out of
the building, showing that the fire was
intentional. Some arrests are talked of
by the insurance company of that town
ship, in which there was an insurance
OF 5000, but when our informant wrote
us there had been no arrests made. Mr..

We never growl about our neighbors
taking our local items without credit,
and in fact are so used to it that, we
would not feel happy did they fail to
make such use of us. But when they
take an article so troublesome to ar

throughout the county common honesty
would suggest the propriety of giving
the proper credit.
AT Shelby, o., on the 18th ult., Eliza

found dead on Gamble Street, near
the gate of Oakland cemetery. A
jury was Immediately summoned by
H. w. Hildebrant, J. p, acting as
coroner. After having heard the evidence
and examined the body, they found that
the deceased came to her death by some
form of heart disease; the form to the

Caught In Man Trap.-On Saturday
evening shortly after seven o'clock, when
it was very dark, Mr.. j. w. Spangler,
of York, in turning the corner of Car
Isle and Main street, in this borough,
turned too soon and thus walked into
the cellar of the burnt building that has
so long been allowed to remain without
being guarded by any enclosure. Mr.. S.,
although badly stunned by the fall man.
aged to get back upon the sidewalk
where he was found and helped to Will
liamson's hotel, where he was stopping.
Medical aid was procured and his inju-
ries were attended to. He had received
several very severe cuts on the face,
which, though painful wounds, are not
dangerous, though they will probably
cause marks that will ever remind him
of his severe fall and narrow escape
from more serious injury. 1t is strange
that the owner of the lot has not enclos-
ed it ere this, or failing to do so that the
borough authorities did not cause it to
be done. No doubt some person will
have to pay damages now, and in addi-
ton will still have to bear the expense
of putting the location into such condi-
ton that further accidents will be pre-
vented
