Cumberland CouRty.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
While Ed. Crane was sprouting the
other week he heard noise in the
leaves behind him, and on looking up
he saw an enormous bIacksnake poised
for spring. He jumped back and his
snakeship alighted at his feet. He was
much frightened, but managed to kill it.
1t measured about five feet.
On Thursday last, Mr.. Robert Pender-
grass, an inmate at the County Poor
House, whilst at work, made misstep,
and injured his right leg badly. Steward
Pollinger, not wishing to put any addi-
tional cost on the county, and knowing
that Mr.. Eye was a good mechanic, had
had him examine the limb. He found
1t broken between the ankle and knee.
He Immediately got to work and re-
duced the fracture, and Robert is get
ting along quite comfortably.
A young man named Sherick, at
present stopping near Plainfield at
tempted to shoot bird with shot gun.
He claimed to have hit it and knocked
some feathers off, but comrade named
Eberts, contended that he had not, and
that he could not hit him if he fired at
him at a fair distance. The distance
was agreed upon, and Eberts placed
himself in position as target. Sherick
aimed, and fred, but came so near it that
Eberts heard the shot whizzing by him.
This is queer kind of amusement, but
boys are up to all sorts of sport now-a-
days and must be INDUCED.
On Saturday afternoon last about
two O'Clock, says the Echo Mr.. A.
Mansfield, superintendent of the Mt.
Holly paper company, met with an
accident miraculous in its results. The
particulars of which are aboutas follows:

The D. & B. r. R.--The success of the
Duncannon and Bloomfield Railroad
seems now to be fixed fact. The sub
scriptions are steadily increasing and the
determination of the directors Is to push
the grading through this fall. The COM
mittee sent to consult with the p.
r.. II. officials were assured that If the
road was made ready for the iron, that
the iron and other equipments for a
first-class road would be furnished by
them. We sincerely hope that the
property owners that will be benefited
by this enterprise who have not already
subscribed, will no longer delay in
placing their names on the books.
Were 1t not for the engagements oc-
casioned by court week, the prelimina-
ries required to put the company into
working order, would no doubt be COM
pleted this week, as it is there will be
but few days more delay. The sooner
the road is built, the sooner will the
iron that is in the hills in this vicinity
be turned into cash, the sooner will EN-
ployment be plentifully furnished to our
working people, and the sooner will the
public feel the benefit of increased bus
mess, caused by the circulation of more
money in our midst.

A Singular Case. = The Harrisburg
" Patriot" says: A most singular case
of paralysis occurred in Middletown,
this county. 1t seems Miss Ellenata
last October where she remained for
one week. Upon returning to her home
in Middletown where her parents reside
she, the day after her return while sit
ting in rocking chair, at once began to
swell at the hips to such an extent as to
fasten her in the chair. She did not feel
that she touched the chair even, but
it seems that she did not feel because she
was paralyzed-in the lower half of her
body. Her friends after taking her out
of the chair laid her on the bed and she
Immediately took position of lying on
her stomach. She laid in this position
for three months. 1t was found on ex-
amining her that there were two large
spots, one on each hip about the size of
a mans hand, one on her back and one
on her ankle, where the flesh was per-
fectly black and dead. These were poul-
ticed to make them soft, and then cut
out, all except one; this was in the back
and it remained hard. Her brother, Mr..
Samuel Diehl, an intelligent laboring
man, poulticed it for couple of days,
until it became soft like the rest and
then without the assistance of the doc
tor cut it out himself. In doing so he
said he could see her spine exposed for
a space of several inches. The young
girl is now sitting up and seems to be
happy and contented.
What is remarkable about this case is
that there was nothing that she knew of
to produce this condition of her system,
and that during her confinement in bed
and since she has been as hearty as she
could be, and able to eat, in the language
of her father, " like wood chopper.o-
She seemed, through the whole of her
confinement, to be gay and happy, as
may be evidenced by the fact that while
the doctor was cutting the dead flesh out
of her he accidentally cut blood vessel,
and the blood spurted out in quite
stream across theroom. The doctor was

He was on his way to the brick paper
mill and while In the act of crossing
the bridge which spans the creek,
short distance west of the mill, the horse
he was driving frightened at some new
plank which had recently been put
down, and commenced backing. The
wagon was brought against the side
railing of the bridge with such force as
to cause 1t to give way and all were pre-
cipitated to the water beneath, q distance
of about fifteen feet. The noise of the
accident soon broughta a number of per-
sons to the scene and Mr.. Mansfield was
taken from the water, which was about
four or five feet deep, and, strange to say,
was not injured in the least. The horse
fell upon its back and was considerably
used up. The only damage done to the
wagon was the breaking of one of the
iron stays which support the top.

Foot Cut On Wednesday afternoon
an accident occurred at Cook IS saw mill,
by which son of Capt III. S. Dimm
had his foot badly injured. The Captain
attends to the saving of shingles and
his son gathers the shingles from the
saw. On this occasion, shingle fell
under the saw and the lad attempted to
get it with his foot; but instead of get
ting the shingle the saw caught his foot,
and in an instant the lads foot was cut
on the under side almost to the heel and
in to the bone. One of his toes was saw
ed off, with the exception of small
piece of skin which held it, and another
toe was SO badly injured that amputa-
ton was necessary. DIR. Sites, the at
tending physician, says that from the
nature of the wound, it will take long
time to heal but, if care is taken, the
boy will not be lamed.-Ledger.

Fatal Accident. - The Chambersburg
"Spirit" says an accident which unfor-
tunately had fatal result occurred on
the farm occupied by Mr.. Baker, near
Frederick's mill, mile west of Marion,
on Saturday last A wagon shed was
being moved and a number of neigh
bors were present and assisting-among
them John Crist, who lives near Cult
ner's school-house. In taking down
the frame of the shed, one of the upper
timbers fell on Mr.. Crist, throwing him
down and striking him across the upper
portion of his abdomen. He was res
cused Immediately and sat up and said
he was not much hurt, but it was soon
perceived that he was seriously injured
and they carried him into Mr.. Bakers
and put him to bed. This was about 6
p. M, on Saturday. A physician was
sent for, but he did not arrive till Sun
day morning. His services did not
avail to save the unfortunate man, who
died about ten o'clock on Sunday night.

Iuniata County We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
The Trustees of the Lutheran congre-
cation in this place held meeting on
Tuesday, and resolved to repair the
church building. Joseph Brindle was
authorized to report plan with specifi-
cations, on Saturday week, at a cost
not to exceed two thousand dollars.
Last Sabbath morning, about the time
of the close of the morning service in
the Lutheran church, Mr.. Hinkle, Jr.,
of this place, fell to the floor in an un-
conscious state. He was carried into the
vestibule, where he soon regained his
consciousness.
One night last week Mr.. John Philips,
of Bealetown, lost valuable horse. The
animal had been in the habit of soaring
at the lightning, and during the night
heavy shower of rain fell accompanied
by thunder. and lightning, and it is
supposed the horse became frightened
and jumped over fence and fell down
steep embankment into the creek, and
in falling broke his neck.
Simon p. Leyder and David Kauff-
man, citizens of Mifflin county, were re-
turning in buggy, from visit to
friends in this county, one day last week.
At Stroud's Mills, in the former county,
the horse frightened, wheeled in the
road suddenly, upset the buggy, and
threw both men out. Kaufman, who
was unhurt; caught the frightened ami
NAL. Leyder was severely bruised. One
wheel of the buggy was broken, and the
top of the buggy was damaged.

always grudge to see coming at the end of
plenty. As people in former days refused to
eat sugar, let us get up society which shall
decline to eat dessert and made dishes.
What l would recommend, then, with
all my power, is that dinners should be more
simple, more frequent and compose fewer
persons. Ten is the utmost number that a
man of moderate means should ever invite,
to his table. A man and woman may look
as if they were glad to see 10 people, but in
a great dinner they abdicate their position as
host and hostess, are mere creatures in the
hands of the sham buffers, sham footmen and
confectioners' emissaries who crowd the room,
and are guests at their own table. l have
marked many lady. watching with timid
chances the large artificial major-domo, who
officiates for that night only, and thought to
myself, eAh, my dear madam, how much
happier might we all be if there were but
half the splendor, half the made dishes and
half the company assembled"
Properly considered, the quality of dinner
| is twice blest-it blcsses him that gives and
him that takes-a dinner with friendliness Is
| the best of all friendly meetings-a pompous
entertainment. where no love s, the least sat

which she was adopted and grew up to be
handsome and intelligent girl. A young
man, named Kent, sought her hand in mar
rage, but his character was not good, and she
rejected him. Shortly affarward, in August
1871, Miss Slater went from her home to a
neighbours on an errand. When she started
home it was dark and a thunder storm was
coming up. As she was hurrying along the
road, she was seized by three men, drugged,
grossly maltreated, and taken to the Della
ware river and thrown into the stream. She
was washed up on an island, where she re.
gained consciousness. She was discovered
by man who lived opposite the island, and
taken to his house. She left there, supposing
she could find her way home. She wander
ed into the woods, and, although parties Were
out searching for her, she was not found unit
three days afterward. She was insane and
nearly dead from hunger. She was returned
home, but it was long time before she.re
gained her reason. Kent and two Others
were arrested on suspicion of being the par
ties guilty of the outrage, but nothing coul'
be proved against them. Most people, how
ever, believed that they were the criminals
and they finally disappeared form the place
