The storm of excitement over the crimes
and supposed criminals has passed away, and
we have settled down to the even tenor of our
peacefully TRANQUILITY. We have just such
people here, who delight in excitement of any
kind; they seem to inherit it, they love it. But
when certain height has been reached
(and they can have fool followers only so far),
the bubble bursts, and covers them with stag
nant feeling. Thus stand we to-day. All
regretting that they should have been led into
any discussion on the charges-the direct
causes OF work silently-except it may be a
few who stand badly in need of funds, and
others who are working for self interest. To-
day you hear of nothing but denials of saying
anything or knowing anything about anything
whatever. Let the people of Perry county
know, that though there has been debited to
to our borough a formidable list of crimes
covering ages gone, yet, doubt not In the end
we will come out pure and spotless,
and there will be credited to us enough of
honesty, virtue, morality, 10 overcome all and
everything which may have been charged
againtf us.
Il isconfdently expected that navigation
will be open next week. Our boatmen are
making ready to move Off at first notice. They
long for the sweets and charms of their rowing

not be any better. The detention has been SO
much OF late years as not to make 1t very prof
table.
We had the Rev. seibert, of the Evangelical
Denomination, with us last Sunday. He COM

Juniata County We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
Daniel Spicer, an aged citizen of Della
ware township, died very suddenly,

he entered the door of his house ON his
return from the barn he fell dead.

At the borough election held In this
place in February last, the vote for
Justice of the Peace was tie.
Constable s. S. Wilson issued a
proclamation for special election to be
held on Saturday, March %, 1879, for
the purpose of electing Justice of the
Peace.
On Saturday morning last when the
election officers called on Mr.. Musser,
the Register and Recorder, for the bal
lot box, Mr.. Musser found that the
ballot box had been broken open and
the tickets and registry of votes, polled
at the February election, taken there
from. AS the custodian of the election
boxes Mr.. Musser placed them in the
general and only vault furnished him
for all valuable papers, but he is not
supplied with any lock and key within
the vault wherewith to protect them
specially. The occurrence is extremely
unpleasant for Mr.. Musser, but no fair
minded man, free from prejudice, would
feel inclined to fault him until heard
from. Suit has already been brought

ton of George w. Cribbs, Philo ID.

Who Is Hep On last Thursday two
men left Carlisle in wagon. One re-
sides near Carlisle Springs and the other
hailed from Perry county. Judging
from what occurred on the way home
they must have been in rather mellow
condition. When near the Springs the
two gentlemen had boxing match in
the wagon as it was passing along
This had not lasted long until both fell
out into the mud, from which they
emerged in rather dilapidated condi-
ton. The gentlemen who resides near
the Springs had, during the night, we
are sorry to say, the further misfortune
to have his pocket-book taken from
him, containing about S15. We are
authorized to say that it is in comtem-
plation to offer reward of $40 for the
recovery of the money taken. = Carlisle

A Tragedy In DauphIn.-- On Thursday
evening tavern keeper named Amos
Gayman residing in Dauphin shot and
instantly killed Miss Douglass, and
then shot himself through the heart.
He was married man but was infatua-
ted with this girl, and murdered her as
she was walking along the street with
lady friend, because she refused to re-
turn to his house. She had formerly
lived at his house as servant, but had
left because his attentions to her were of
nature TO make trouble in the family.
The character of the girl was beyond re-
proach, and her murder created an
intense excitement in Dauphin, and the
surrounding county. She was aged
about 10 years, and was pretty and
intelligent. Her mother is widow re-
siding in the town. An inquest was
held and the jury rendered the following
verdict:
That Hedessah Douglass came to
her death on the evening of March 27,
by shooting, at the hands of Amos Gay
man, receiving two bullet wounds, one
upon the right, the other upon the left
side of the chest, the latter entering the
heart and causing instant death, the
act having been premedltated.
The verdict Of the jury on Gayman
was "That the said Amos Gayman
came to his death on the same evening
by committing suicide by shooting him
self in the breast with pistol"
