the town. AT least we heard an intelli-
gent teacher complain of this effect
Probably the Institute was swallowed
up in the whirl of the great political
vortex which has been heaving and
swelling SO much of late in that town.
Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
Week before last, John Saltsberg, of
Mifflin township, In passing through
one of his fields, observed wild turkey
staggering around. On going to the
spot five more were found lying dead
cholera had struck them.
On last Wednesday night Cohill's
store, at Mt. Holly, was entered and 6
pairs of boots, / dozen silk handker-
chiefs, quantity of muslin, calico, &C.,
amounting in all to about $50, stolen
therefrom. An entrance was effected
through rear window.
On the following Friday Benjamin
Bosler found screw driver, brace and
bit and chisel, in the creek at Moor's
mill. The tools are all marked 81. A.
Moor" Whether the finding of these
tools will lead to the Identification of
the burglar, is a question of time.
On last Tuesday, Mrs. George Kohn,
who resides on DIR. Alex. Stewards farm
some four miles southwest of Shippens-
burg, met with an accident in which
she fractured one of the bones in her
left leg between the knee and ankle
She had been working in the cellar, and
accidentally slipped between two boards,
which caused the fracture. DIR. James
b. Marshall attended to the wounded
Nmember. and the patient is getting along
very well.
AThis community was startled yester-
dhy evening by the announcement of
the death of one of her most respected
citizens, Mr. Jacob Hoffman, East Main
street. 1t appears that he had been feel
ing unwell Tor few days, but appre-
hended no danger. Whilst in Saxton g
store few days ago q dizziness came
over him, and he would have fallen if
the clerks had not noticed it and assist
ed him to his seat. On the day of his
death he started to the yard of his resi-
dence, and while returning, and just en-
tering the door, he was noticed in the
act of falling, by the servant girl. She
went to his assistance, and called to his
son, who was in the front part of the
4 house. He answered the call, but just
as he arrived the vital spark had fed.
He's nice, clever young man and al
ways does the marketing for the family.
On Saturday morning we found him
striking an attitude before one of our
fair market DANES, and politely inquir-
ing the price of that crock of stuff. :"
The price must have been satisfactory,
for in went his finger with the intention
of having a good taste. But he stopped
short as he heard her exclaim, "Well,
you're the first man that ever I seen
taste soft SOAP" A sickly emile broke
over his face as he grabbed his basket
swears now that he never knew soft
soap and apple butter looked so much
alike. Yes, Jake, goose looks good
deal like monkey, toO.-Mirror.
Shortly after twelve o'clock on Mon
day night the large bank barn on the
farm of William M. Henderson, short
distance from town on the Harrisburg
pike, was discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was given and our fire depart
ment responded as promptly as possible,
but when they reached the premises the
flames had made so much headway that
all that could be done was to save the
surrounding property. The barn, to-
gether with large amount of grain,
seven DOrses, sixteen COWS, all the farm
ing utensils ect., is total loss. A large
straw stack in the barn yard was also
burned. AT the present writing it is i'm
possible to make correct estimate of
the loss, butit will be very heavy. We
understand that the barn was insured
The fire was the work of an incendiary,
there having been no fire about the
place for number of days before.

Iunlata County, We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers Of
last we IL:
On Wednesday of last week Mr.. Sam
uel Tyson, son of Mr.. Jude Tyson, of
Walker township, while in the act of
oiling a Vibrator" threshing machine
in operation at the barn of DR.. G. M.
Graham, in Turbett township, his arm
was caught in the betting and twisted
around pulley, breaking his arm Just
below the elbow. If the betting hadn't
broke there Is not the least doubt but
that the arm would have been torn from
its socket and inflicting injuries that
would have proved fatal.
