Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers Of last week
Jacob Weaver, an old and esteemed
citizen of Green Spring, died at his resi-
dence on Tuesday. A few weeks since
he was thrown from his wagon, his
head striking the ground, producing con-
cussion of the brain and resulting In his
death. Mr.. Weaver resided in the vi
cinity of Green Spring for many years,
and was highly esteemed for his many
Christian virtues.
Samuel Cramer's dwelling, in New
burgh, came near being destroyed by
fire on last Saturday. Its timely discov-
cry and ample assistance from the
neighbors alone saved the building from
the flames. Newburg is without fire
apparatus, and from the many warn
ings, in the way of destructive fires, any
further neglect in this direction should
be considered little short of criminal.
Rev. w. l.. Wallace, pastor of the
United Presbyterian church, Newville,
has resigned his pastorate and accepted
call from the church at Sewickley,
near Pittsburgh. Rev. Wallace has
served the people of his charge at New
vile for the past eighteen years in the
most acceptable manner and we believe
his leaving his present field is regretted
by all.
A most singular accident occurred in
South Middleton township a short time
ago, which was attended with fatal con-
sequences. An aged gentleman named
Henry Lackey was engaged hauling
stone for the erection of new bank
barn. Whilst so engaged one of the
horses began to choke, when Mr.. l..
went to the assistance of the animal
and it fell upon him, when one of the
arteries Of his neck burst, and in
short time he was corpse.
A sensation has been rife for some
weeks past, occasioned by the continued
absence from her home of a girl named
Cora Clendenin, about sixteen years of
age. This girl, year or more ago, was
brought from the Home of the Friend
less, in Harrisburg, and indentured to
Mrs. Eliza Wolf. Early in the winter
she saw fit to leave Mrs. W., but return
ed before many weeks elapsed only to
remain short time, however, for she,
soon again left in a rather mysterious
manner, since which time nothing very

her. Efforts to ferret out her where
abouts are now being made, and it is
thought that traces of her have been
discovered in Carlisle, and the place of
concealment is of questionable char
acter.
Nearly all the people of this county
know an old man who travels from
place to place buying and selling dogs.
In the course of several years he had
saved some money, which he carried on
his person. Last Monday he was attack
ed on the road between Mt. Holly and
Boiling Springs by two men, who beat
him badly, he resisting During the me-
lee his pantaloons were ripped open and
the pocket, which contained his hoard,
amounting to about 5000, was stolen.
The old man made information before
j. @. Lehman, Esq, and on Thursday
night Constable Glib, of Mt Holly, ar
rested and brought to Jail George Smith,
of that place, who had been spending
money freely in Holly. On his person,
when brought to jail, over thirty-nine
dollars were found. On Friday the old
man appeared and identified him as one
of his assailants. Much of the old mans
money was in fractional currency, and
the possession of so much of it by one
person was what led to his arrest. The
other man took leg bail and has not
since been seen or heard Of Smith is
held for Court to answer the Charges of
attempt to kill and of robbing.
A telegram from Carlisle on Saturday
afternoon led to the arrest, on the first
train south, Of q young lady of neat
appearance from Carlisle, who did not
intend stopping over at this point. She
had deceived her lover into loaning her
a sum of money not exceeding five
dollars and fearing others might enjoy
the pleasure of his lavish expenditures,
he had his beloved returned to Carlisle
on the five o'clock train, whittier she
was accompanied by officer Whitmer.
She was confronted at the office of a
magistrate in that town by the young
man but her Establishments and his
tender heart led to the withdrawal OF
the charge and she was soon released.
She came on the late train as far as this
point where she remained for a few days
enjoying the bursting beauties of nature
and away from the extravagant devo-
tion and jealous eyes of her Carlisle
lover. The young man is out the
expenses of the officer TO and from Car
Isle and the charges for her arrest and
