A heavy storm of wind and rain pass
ed over this place little after two clock
on Thursday afternoon OF last week.
During Its prevalence barn on the
farm of John A. Craig, at the east end
of town where the Walnut Bottom road
reaches the turnpike, was struck by
lightning and In q very short time it
was entirely destroyed, with all It's con-
tents. Mr.. Daniel Line occupied the
premises and to him the articles burned
belonged. In the barn were two reapers,
a threshing- machine and horsepower,
hay rake, ore wagon and bed. three tons
of hay, three calves, four shoats and
some small farming utensils. None of
this property was saved and there was
no insurance on the building or its con-
tents. The barn was of good size,
built partially of logs and weather.

also burned. The Vigilant Fire Com
pany hastened to the burning building
but the flames had made too much head
way to be subdued. The embers have
been cleared away and it is probable Mr..
Craig will rebuild after harvest. = Ship

Most of the Citizens of this town seem
to feel the Importance of securing rail
road outlet, and are willing to do their
part towards building road. There
are some however, who though willing
and anxious TO have their property in
creased in value, by rail road connec-
ton, are desirous of having it done at
the expense of others. Such citizens in
stead of being valued members of socie-
BY, are drag and dead weight upon the
community, unfortunate enough to
have them in their midst. Fortunately
we have only few of them, but yet we
have enough of these drones to make it
necessary for the liberal citizens to pull
little stronger, and then having secur-
ed the prize, they should mark those
who have refused their help. There are
of course some persons who are willing
to help, but are not able, bat the people
will discriminate between this class and
those, who, though able to do so, refuse
to aid in the material advancement of
the town in which they live.

Inoendlaries In the Cumberland Valley
A farmer conversing on the subject of
the attempt to fire the Harrisburg
bridge, made this statement to TELE-
GRAPH reporter this morning that with
in the last ten days as many attempts
were made to fire barns and outhouses
on farms along the road from Bridgeport
to Carlisle. These attempts at incen-
diarism were of a character so bold and
Systematically made that the impression
has gained hold on the people of that
locality that there is band of organ
lied incendiaries in the Cumberland
Valley. One farmer of sagacity and in-
telligence argued that the practice of al
lowing tramps to encamp in numbers in
different localities had become very dan
gerous to both life and property Jas in such
assemblages of these vagabonds the sub
ject of conversation was always of q
criminal character, suggesting the per-
petration of desperate acts, and claiming
for those who perpetrate them heroism
that always excites emulation. At
number of points along the Cumberland
Valley railroad there are tramp camps,
where the mischief is concocted that re-
suits in incendiary attempts. - Harris

A. L. Guss, Esq.,, has been searching

Court for October term 1854, the town
ship of Fannet is erected in the follow
ing words
And further we erect the settlements

John Bard to act as Constable therein
for the remaining part of the current
year."
Lack township, Juniata county, which
then embraced the whole of Tuscarora
Valley, was erected at the same date
Also Tyrone township, Perry county,
which embraced all of Sherman's VAL

well as Bedford, and to an indefinite

The D. & B. Railroad. The feeling in
Duncannon in favor of this enterprise
seems to be as hearty as it is in this
place, if we may judge from the reports
we get from there. AS yet there have
been no subscriptions taken to the stock
in that town, but book will be sent
there this week. If the citizens there
do as well as is expected, it will be only
a short time before the road is under
contract. If the business men and the
property holders in that place are alive
to their own interests they will see that
the enterprise does not fail for lack of
proper support on their part. If times
are dull there, so much the more reason
why they should liven them up, by
putting the money the grading of the
road will cost into circulation, for
large part of it will be expended in that
place. The increase of trade that the
road would turn into Duncannon and
the additional importance given to the
town as the terminus of road, would
be an advantage to every business man,
and to every property owner. We do
not think the citizens can be so blind to
their own interests, as to fail to give
this matter their hearty support.
Lightniag,- The Gettysburg Compiler
says: A terrific shock of lightning was
felt at Mr.. Augustus Mickley's, about
one mile from Cashtown, on Tuesday
evening of last week. A rod ON the
house was first struck the electricity
then entered the chimney and followed
it to the garret floor; then down the
stove pipe, and out into the yard and
and garden fully fifty feet from the
house. In its passage through the room
in which Mr.. Mickey, his wife and
daughter were sitting, it ran close to
Mrs. Mickey, tore up the floor and cut
the carpet into pieces, and threw her
chair across the room. They all, how
ever, miraculously escaped. The house
took fire at one corner, but by the pres
ence of mind of the family and the
prompt arrival of neighbors damage, be-
yond forty or fifty dollars was pre-
vented. All the rooms were more or
less injured by the stroke, the chimney
and cellar wall also, and vegetables in
the garden were scorched.

EDITORS DEMCOR AT.-In your last
weeks Eapcr appeared All article head
ed .Prohibition." in which the eleven
foot of asymlmthi2er with the rum ell
ement plainly made its appearance.
He offers the same old objections to
prohibtory enactmentS. that nave
ever been offered by men III The inter-
ests Of tho liquor traffic.
First. would not il prohibitory law
be Il tyranny and an injustice?
/ would answer most emphatleally
no. The prohibition of the liquor
traffic is in the very highest interest
of the trade, and bushes of any count
~. and the happiness and prosperity
Of its people.
Every man engaged III any branch
Of legitimate trade, has direct pecun-
iary interest in the absolute suppress
sion of the rum liend. There is no in
dustry in any country that does not
suffer in its finances by the means of
the liquor business.
The most Of the money expended
yearly for liquor IN this country, is
taken from. the pocket Of the poor
man, thus rendering his family neg
lected and miserable for the want of
the absolute necessarieS OF life, which
would have been provided for them
had ii not been for the terrible tenn
tatiun Of the saloon.
Your correspondent speaks Of the
millions Of bushels Of barley, corn, etc.
consumed by that great branch Of in
dustry, theSuspension of which would
be Il serion injury to the producer. lie
would have been nearer the truth had
stated il thus: Millions of bushels of
golden grain wasted by that fearful
branch uf the river Of perdition which
rasheS millions Of our fellow men in
to eternal ruin. Now let Inc present
Il few facts as to whether the producer
would he injured. as Mr.. &. Ii. states,
for the consideration of honest men
searching for truth. He says he is af-
ter facts, and here they are:

uor traffic, and pauperism and erin e
disappeared almost entirely from II e
country.
English statesman were alarmed
lest the diminution of the revenue
should seriously embarrass the inan-
ces Of the nation.
The excise tax on whiskey was ten
shillings a gallon, and the amount re-
ceived into the treasury Of the whole
country, equal to one hundred and ten
millions Of dollars in gold.
The cost Of whiskey without the
tax was Is. 3D. gallon, tile duty being
nearly seven hundred per cent. on
that sum. But it was found by the
experience Of Il few months that the
gross receipts of the revenue from
Ireland did not fall off, but on the con
trary increased, through the greatly
Increased consumption of general
merchandise paying duty to the gov
eminent.
The increase to the income from
whiskey and beer became almost moth
ing, but the general trade Of the Coan-
try was greatly stimulated and expan-
ded, SO that the total revenue was in
creased by four hundred thousand
pounds-two millions Of dollars in
gold.
Now these facts fully demonstrate
that the money which formerly went
into the tills Of the rumsellers was di-
verified into other channels Of trade
the Legitimate and useful business Of
the country
And now it does seem to me that
any intelligent man must come to the
conclusion that the rum traffic is in
opposition to every other interest of !.
nation or people.
We believe that an legal enact
ment which will decrease sorrow,
Indebtedness and woe, and which will
increase legitimate business, make
women and children happy. and to a
great extent dispense with hard times,
ought to receive the hearty support of
every order loving citizen.
