THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD Pa JULY %, 1879.


IunIata County, We copy the follow
ing from the Junlata county papers Of
last week.
A horse belonging to Mr.. John Crist,
of Lack township, died very suddenly
one day last week from some unknown
cause.
On Tuesday, as Mr.. William Stuart,
of Beale township, was entering Johns
town the horse he was driving staggered
and fell dead in the road. The intense
heat of that day probably killed him.
Miss Sarah Harman, sister of Mr..
VIM. Harman, near McAlistervile, had
the misfortune to break her leg. She
was attending to some want of her aged
father, who is 80 years old when she
slipped and fell with the result stated.
A few days ago, Fermanagh town.
ship woman brought a charge before
Squire Loudon against three Fermanagh
township men, for improper conduct
toward her on certain evening along
the pike, opposite the Presbyterian
graveyard.
At McCoysville on the 1st inst, while
a man was attempting to turn a corner
with wagon load of hay, the wagon
upset, and J. B. Mcdonald, who was
riding on the hay, was thrown off and
got his leg fractured by the fall.
We are informed that young son of
ID. A. Martin, of Tuscarora twp, had
his shoulder blade broken by fall from
fence, on the 4th inst. DIR. Sahm, of
McCoysville, rendered the necessary
attention in both the above cases and
the patients are doing well.
A man by the name of Sherlock, en-
ployed at Showers & Scholl's carriage
manufactory, while working at a carriage
struck himself on the forehead with a
hammer which he was using, inflicting
severe but not dangerous wound
Democrat and Register.
The neighbors and friends of Mr..
Alexander Mcclure, in Tuscarora town
ship, met at his place to the number of
twenty-five, on Tuesday and helped to
roof his barn and otherwise repair the
damage done to his property by the
recent storm. That's the kind of a place
to live in and the kind of neighbors to
have.
William Stump, feeble minded
young man, well known to many of the
citizens of Port Royal, having spent the
greater part of last spring working about
| lOWh, was ulOWhCo WliiiO bNbhihS
Rohm's mill dam, in Milford twp, on
Monday evening of this week. He lived
with William Cunningham, of Milford
twp, for a number of years. He was
about eighteen years Of age.
A few weeks ago hail storm passed
over Susquehanna township, and de-
stroyed Levi Stroub's entire crop of
grass and grain. He brought grass and
made hay. On Saturday last in the
evening the house took fire and was
burned to the ground-the barn, sheds,
hog-stable, corncribs and other out
buildings were also destroyed. The
origin of the fire, it is supposed, was
caused by large fire in the stove for
drying cherries.
Jacob Lemon while experimenting
the work of his men in the stone quarry
in the narrows, hung his vest with
pocket book, over one hundred dollars
and his watch, in the building where
they kept their provisions. When he
went for it some time afterward it was
missing, and " Billy" a tramp he had
hired in May, was conspicuous for his
absence. 1t was learned that he bought
a new suit of clothes in Lewistown, and
had his face turned toward the setting
sun. 1t is great pity the scoundrel
could not pc caught.
