q BouLING Down HILL.-A young man
had curious adventure and rather Sc
rious mishap the other night on Prospect
Hill. He was up there with his girl late
in the evening, rather a curious place for
them to be that time of night. Standing
near the.edge of the main point toward
the river, he lost his footing, and rolled
over and over to the bottom. Incredible as
it may seem, he was unhurt and neither
did be stop until he reached the bottom
and landed on the muddy bar, just at the
foot of the bank. He tried to catch upon
some bushe. and brush on his downward
course, but had such clear track, it was
so dark, and he was going at such live
ly speed that he was unable to stop. He
says that in his rolling career he thought
of the river into which he expected to
fall, not knowing there was bar of sand
and mud to receive him; and he made
frantic effors to catch hold Of something
on the way. Z.
When he struck the sand unhurt, he
got upon his feet as soon as he could, and
tried to look over the ground he had so
recently travelled, but it was too dark to
see anything. He called to his girl to see
ifshe had given him up for dead and gone
to tell the Coroner, but she was waiting
to see how he stood the racket, and asked
him if he was hurt. He responded that
he felt as if he had gone through a
thrashing machine or had been blown
up in a powder mill, but further than
that he believed he was all there, and the
separate parts of his body were all uni
ted by their several ligatures in the
proper manner, though he couldn't
swear to that fact. His hat was missing
and he quarreled with his girl for not
coming down and aiding him in his
search for it, but as she was 300 feet
away from him his guarreling did not
amount to much. She certainly took
less interest in the quarrel and the search
than she had taken in seeing him make a
bowling alley of himself.
After along search he found the missing
hat and laboriously clambered to the top.
He stood for moment on the bluff, gaz-
ing downward through the darkness over
the road he had so recently tarveled on
the double quick, and calculated, "Well,
I'll be hangedp Perhaps he will, for
the man who could make such trip as
that unaded and alone and come out
with unbroken bones, is certainly saved
for some end which an inscrutable Prov
idence alone knows of.
If there are any who doubt this story
We can only say that it is vouched for by
responsible parties.

to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the
shoulder joint came out. Many pieces Of bone
came out Of the right foot and leg. Tho case was
then pronounced one of White Swelling. After
having been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless I was induced to
try DR.. Pcmberton's Compound Extract Of Stlllin-

have continued the use of 1t until tho present.
My daughter was confined 10 her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over with

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver
DrsrErsiA AND SICK HEADACHE.

DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge OF the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

ELLIoTTsBURG, Perry County Pa,
June 20, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR 1t is said that variety is the
spice of life, and as this maxim is applicable
to the news of public journals, as we'll as to
any thing else, will again furnish few items
OF news to the columns of the TIMES from this
section.
Mr.. Martin Stambaugh is erecting dwelling
house at the upper end of Elllottsburg, and
Mrs. Conrad has recently attached kitchen
to her residence on main street, and has other
wise improved it. Mr.. VIM. Hassuger, was
awarded the contract to paint the berry of the
German Reformed church of this place. Billy
knows how to do nice job of painting.
The sign at this village is down, mean the
sign of the hotel inclines towards terra frma;
no doubt but that IL was wrecked by the recent
storm, do not mean to inslnuate that it was
wrecked by the storming speeches that were
made on temperance, at the District 8. s.
convention which was held here lately, because
some of the speakers who stopped with our
landlord, think him one of the most genial
and obliging hotel keepers in the county. His
table is supplied with the best the market af-
fords, and his bar is stocked with the choicest
well, the speakers did not say whether they
tasted 1t or not.
Mr.. Martin stambaugh was thrown from a
colt about week ago, and the bones of one of
his legs were broken in two places, and he was
otherwise injured. Under the treatment of
Drs. Conrad and Hooke, he is doing as well as
can be expected. This week Mr.. Frank Hol-
lenbaugh closes his school here. He received
his education at a Normal school, and is con-
sidered one of the most successful teachers in
the county. He has gained many friends while
here, and many regrets are expressed that he

Run off, On Monday evening, just
before the trains arrived, horse was
noticed coming down Walnut street,
from the cemetery road, at break-neck
speed, and, when near enough, was seen
to have harness on and a piece of a
wagon shaft dangling to him. He made
good time, the shaft striking him on
his rump at every jump, until reaching
the stable of his owner, @. A. Rippman.
1t seems that B. f. Demaree had the
animal hitched in his sewing machine
wagon and was returning home, and
when near the residence Of George Will
son, on the cemetery road, the horse
became fractions and presently kicked
in the dasher of the wagon, Finally
the wagon was upset, and the horse
broke loose and came to town as above
stated. There was no serious damage
done, save the breaking of Demare els

peaches in Juniata will be q toleraby

appearance, while the apple crop does
not promise well.
Last Thursday night, thieves lifted a
door and frame that covered the outside
cellar way to the house of Mrs. Riddle
Dunn, in Fayette township. and robbed
the cellar of such things as suited their
appetites and fancy.
Mr.. William Banks, of Fermanagh
township, has 140 acres of standing
wheat. If no misfortune overtakes it,
the yield will be uncommonly large to
the acre.
The late storm devastated fields of
wheat, between Evandale and Richfield,
this county, to such q degree that cattle
have been turned in to pasture on what
is left of the wheat.
The heirs of John Wright, of Mif-
ilintown, met last Wednesday to receive
their share of the distribution made of the
stock belonging to the estate. The stocks
he owned at his death have increased about
$4,000 in value since that event.
Mr.. Daniel @. Garman, of Susquehan-
ma township, lost all his grain, corn, ap-
pies, and everything that could be de-
stroyed by hail, in the storm of Thurs
day week. His more fortunate neigh
bors ought to give him lift
A little six or eight year old son of
Mr.. Daniel Auker, near Miffiintown,
was playing with the buggy at his faith

little fellow and ran him against fence,
