eudey's Lady's Book for December


Closes the year 1870 with flying colors. The
publishers have more than fulfilled their prom
ises made in January, and each number of the
year as it has succeeded has exceeded the last.
In the December number we have an exquisite
steel plate, from Darley's original design,
suitable to the season, reminding us to whom
we should render homage at the cheerful
Christmas gatherings. In addition Is beau
tiful colored winter scene, and a double page
of dainty trines for Christmas presents, at once
beautiful and suggestive. The Mammoth
Colored Fashion Plate is very fine. and the
costumes Of great taste and beauty. Besides
this, are several pages of fashion patterns of
articles to help lady in making tasteful and
becoming toilet. The pages of literary matter
are very choice-two Christmas tales and
poems, a continuation of the series of "Rep-
resentative Women," and several pages of the
interesting novel, G. A Rosebud Garden of
Girls" The recipes for Christmas Dinner
make the mouth water, and In every depart
ment is shown the beauty and finish that
characterizes every issue of Godey's Lady's
Book. The publishers promise a still better
book for 1880. 1t is mystery how they can
make one, but if they say so, they wtH do 1t.
We will furnish Godey's Lady's Book and the
TIMES for 1880 for So on application at this

family of Mr.. William Patterson. In
hitching the horse to the buggy to return
home one of the holding back straps
was not properly fastened, but IL was
not discovered until they were descend
ing the hill at Mr.. Henry Yoder's
residence when the buggy commenced
crowding the horse, causing him to run
away. In passing over a bridge at the
foot of the hill the buggy got too close
to the edge, and, upsetting, threw the
occupants out. Miss Yoder was serious

ments, &C., destroyed by fire at an early

but learn that the building was insured

Letter From Tyrone Township.

Thinking that some items from this part of
this county might be of interest TO some of the
many readers of your valuable paper l will
contribute few.
The mill situated in SheafIer's Valley, be-
longing to j. d w. Lightner, which was being
repaired by Rhinard & Co., is now finished
and in good running order, Mr.. Nelson (the
miller) can now accommodate his customers
with choice flour, chop, ETC., again.
The fascinating charms of Kansas has robbed
Sheaffer's Valley of two more of its young
ladies. They started last Monday morning,
leaving mother, friends, and home behind.
Though the charms of the sunny west may be
many, yet the place of ones childhood and
school-days is by far the most pleasant. But,
as the poet has expressed It., let us believe, that
There's silver lining to every cloud"
The young men that saddled and rode Mr..
RPS. OK on Halloween night should have
thought that he has not been given strength
like the horse, and the glory of his nostrils is
not as terrible.
Our sportsmen (Scott and Sam) are killing
the wild turkeys very fast and also without
respect to age, weight, or sex they would as
soon kill an old Boss Gobbler that would weigh
twenty-nine pounds as hen Of less years and
weight
The corn crop in Sheatier's Valley is like the
wheat, it is long and heavy Mr. Peter Light
ner raised corn, some ears of which measured
fifteen inches his son Scott has corn crop
that can not be surpassed in the county.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
Jacob Linderman, who lives at the
brick mill, formerly Rupp's) in Hamp-
den twp, recently lost two interesting
children by scarlet fever. They died on
the same night within several hours of
each other Mr.. l.. has the sincere
sympathy of the whole community in
his sad bereavement.
The works at West Fairview are not
running on more than half time, owing
to the scarcity of water. The founda-
ton has been laid for the purpose of
constructing something to manufacture
gas for lighting the interior of the
MILL
Two men in West Fairview, the other
evening, who were under the influence
of strong drink, got into quarrel dur
ing which the one cut the throat of the
other. The cut proved to be too high
up or it would undoubtedly have caused
death. The would-be assassin was
arrested and placed under bail.
One day last week while Mr.. Jacob
Weary was repairing his corncrib, he
called upon Mrs. Weary to hold for him
a board some eight or ten feet long.
While holding this board Mr.. W. was
standing upon ladder, which gave
way, and suddenly precipitated him to
the ground, lacerating his hand in a
fearful manner on protruding spike or
nail. The ladder struck Mrs. Weary,
knocking her senseless, almost severing
one of her ears from her head, and
soaring her face badly.
A young German named Fred Ortolf,
who for some time past has been in the
employ of John Engle, on the South
side of the township, and by his uniform
good conduct won the confidence of the
family, on Tuesday election day. most
wantonly and criminally abused that
confidence. While the family were alb
sent he entered the house, broke open
Mr.. Engle's secretary, took from it $42
and watch, then opened the trunk of
Mr.. A. M. Werner, the teacher who
boards with Mr.. Engle, and stole from
him $50, pair of fine boots, good over
coat and a new hat. To climax his dep
relations he stole one of Mr.. E's horses,
mounted him and rode to Mechanics
burg where he left the horse and disap-
peared. Keep a sharp outlook for him.

BBarn Burned and Bones Found. = On
last Wednesday afternoon about four
o'clock the barn on the farm of Mr..
John Stephens, in Buffalo township,
and which is titled by his son j. Wesley
was totally destroyed by fire, along with
two horses, two hogs, all the grain, farm
ing implements, &c. Bones supposed to
be human were found in the foddering-
room, and the conclusion is that some
tramp perhaps with lighted pipe in his
mouth, lay down there to rest his weary
body and in this position fell asleep,
while fire fell from the pipe, setting the
hay and straw on fire, consuming him
and the barn and its contents. The loss
is about $1,000; insurance $400. AT the
time the fire occurred Mr.. Stephens and
his men were at work in the fields
