went into effect on Sunday night, but
the only trains materially interested are
Philadelphia express, east, and Fast

The only change in Fast Line, she will
stop at Mifliin when tagged. The pos
tai car has been transferred from Atlan-
tic express to Philadelphia express, ex-
cept on Sunday night, when Philadel-
phia does not run, and the former will
carry the mail. Way trains were in no
wise affected by the change.

A Good Entertainment. = On Monday
night of last week, Weston's Philadel-
phia Concert and Comedy company gave
an entertainment in the court house,
that was so heartily appreciated, that
another one was given on Tuesday
night, at which they promised an en-
tire change of pieces. They kept their
word too, the programme being an en-
tire change, in everything except ex-
cellence of performance, which was so
good both nights that it would be hard
to beat. We consider it the best COM
pany that we have seen in this county,
and there are few better ones to be seen
any where.
The company return to this place and
give another entertainment on Tuesday
night of this week when we hope they
will have crowded house, for they de-
serveit In addition to beinggoo in their
profession, the members of the troupe
are gentlemen, and we take pleasure in
commencing them to the public.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
On Sunday last, we are informed, the
large tannery of Mr.. Kast, in FrankfOrd
twp, was burned down. We have been
unable to learn any particulars. Mr..
Kast has been marketing leather in
Carlisle for many years.-MirrOr of the
9Th inst.
On Wednesday night the two men
named George Henry Ulrich, alias Geo.
the Bavarian, and Charles Heller, alias
Frankfort the butcher, confined in the
county prison charged with robbing the
McKeehan family, on the evening of
the Goth of January last, came near
making their escape.
About seven O'Clock on Tuesday eve
ming an alarm OF fire called out the fire.
men, and in a short time two streams of
water were being poured upon the fire,
which was in the back building of Ma
rion Hall, the fine property of j. w.
Eby, ESQ.,, on West Main street. The
fire broke out in room occupied by an
invalid son, and had gained considera-
BILE headway when discovered. The
damage was light.
Last Sunday evening a light was Oh
served by number of our citizens in
the direction of Samples bride. Upon
inquiring, we discovered the cause to be
the burning of the large barn of Solo
mon Ensminger, on the opposite side
of the Conodoguinet creek, ON the road
leading from Samples bridge to the
State road. The barn was entirely de-
stroyed, together with new clover seed
huller valued at $375) and hay, straw,
feed and some farming implements
The stock was saved. The opinion is
that the fire was the work of an incen-
diary. The loss amounts to about ST.
200, with an insurance of 1866 in the
Watertown company, of New York
Mechanicsburg Journal.

Hanna and Race streets, south Harris
burg, the engineer noticed the body of
man lying alongside the track, and he
accordingly gave notice when the train
reached the depot. The remains, which
were fearfully mangled, were picked up
and taken to the dead house at the de-
pot and Coroner Porter was notified of
the circumstance.
In hepockets of the deceased's clothes
was found pocket book with small
sum of money and several blank checks
of Central Banking Co.," Port Royal,
Juniata county, Pa, and some other
papers, which led to the discovery that
the man was Samuel Stem, aged about
70 years, well known tanner residing
near Waterford, Juniata county, Pa.
From one of the courteous employees
of the Pennsylvania railroad company
Patriot reporter CLEANED the following
facts:
Mr.. Stem was the owner and proprie-
tor of large tannery (which had not
been running for some time past) located
near the thriving town of Waterford in
the Juniata valley, say eighteen or
twenty miles from Port Royal, below
Miffiintown. He left home last Tues
day for the purpose of attending the
tanners convention at Philadelphia on
Wednesday. After the convention had
adjourned Mr.. Stem purchased stock
of hides and started for home the same
night in company with merchant from
the village of Johnson, Juniata county,
named Joseph Deering, on the Pacific
express. He had stated to Mr.. Deering
that he intended remaining in Harris
burg over night, and taking the way
train for home on Thursday.
The theory as to the cause of the
shocking and mysterious accident seems
to be this: When the train reached the
point where the accident took place the
man must have been awakened from a
nap or sleep by the brakeman calling
out " Harrisburg;" that, probably,
imagining the train was about passing
through or had left the city, he leaped
from tie steps of the car in a half-awake
condition, and that he was, most likely,
struck by the fast line going east,
(which passes the Pacific express fire.

P. r. r. New Superintendent. Chas.
+. Pugh, who succeeds Mr.. G. Clinton
Gardner as general superintendent of
the Pennsylvania railroad, assumed the
duties of the office on April 1st. The
elevation which Mr.. Pugh has now at
tanned through series of promotions
is evidence of what hard work and merit
must bring to pass. Mr.. Pugh began
railroad life as freight agent at New
port, this county, in 1859. In three
years he was made conductor of pas
senger train running between Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg. After serving one
year he was promoted to the RESPONSE
BILE position of train dispatcher of the
Philadelphia division. Two years later
found him assistant train master of
the same division and six years later he
was appointed general agent of the COM
pany at Philadelphia. In this last po-
sition his satisfactory performance of its
exceedingly onerous duties during the
centennial year, justly increased his al
ready established reputation. During the
year over one hundred and fifty thousand
cars were moved and more than three
millions of passengers transported with
out single accident. In his present po-
sition Mr.. Pugh possesses the confidence
of all the employees who know him.

1t is foolish plan to be seeking
the best method for putting down eggs
for the winter use. This used 10 be one
OF the first tests Of thrifty housekeeping
But ii is better and just as easy to have
hens lay all the year around. If hens
have q warm house aud enough TO eat,
and of the right kind. they will lay in
winter as well as In summer. Farmers
always expect to feed some grain to the
fowls, then if they would save all of the
waste meat and scraps that accumulate
from the table, and feed IL TO the hens in
winter they would be repaid in fresh
eggs. 1t is also good plan to hatch
out some early and late chickens. rs in
that way the late ones will be laying
when the older ones want to set.
