Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
A wedding took place In this county
not long since, the united ages of the
bride and groom being 140 years. The
only persons present during the ceremo-
ny were the surgeon and undertaken
bat like the duel which came off in Del
aware few days ago, between two Phil
adelphia youths, the services of neither
were required, as the affair was entirely
bloodless.
An infant son of David Low, of Mid
dlesex twp, became very i'll about two
weeks ago, the disease being pronounced
pneumonia. The little fellow refused
nourishment and IL was thought he
would die. The mother, few days ago,
inserted her finger into his mouth and
us far down the throat as she could and
brought forth ring, since which time
the little fellow has been improving
The ring was recognized as belonging to
another member of the family.
On last Monday morning Mr.. Eman-
uel Richwine, of Boiling Springs was
taken suddenly i'll while pumping wa
ter from the cistern. Some neighbor
women happened to notice him totter-
ing and fastened to his relief He was
taken into the house and Dr. Gray call
ed, who pronounced 1t partial paralysis.
The muscles of the right side of the face
throat, together with arm and leg were
found to be paralyEed. He has partially
recovered, but not able to attend to his
duties.
About two years ago our young friend
VIM. Gephardt, son of the late Jacob
Gephardt, stepped on q piece of glass
which penetrated his foot, and barring
slight cut, was unnoticed by him until
few days ago, when his foot began to
get sore and pain him. Under the sur
face of the skin was hard substance,
which he picked at but was unable to
remove. DIR. Krise was called in and
on examining the foot discovered O
piece of glass about three. quarters of an
inch in length. The Doctor extracted
1t in shert time, and the sore is now
healing nicely. Carlisle Volunteer.
Tuesday evening, about o'clock, Jos.
Haverstick, eldest son of j. B. Haver-
stick, druggist of this place, aged about
IL years, started in company with Jas
Sharp, Park and James Moore, and 9TH
ers, to the "pike pond" for the purpose
of bathing. After undressing and en-
tering the water, Haverstick got beyond
his depth, and not being able to swim,
Park Moore proceeded to his assistance.
He told Haverstick to lay his hands up
on his (Moore's) shoulders. Instead he
caught him by the neck and hands, and
overpowered him. Moore succeeded in
freeing himself and returned to the
shore. Samuel Jordan, colored. lad,
happening to be there, returned with
Moore. Both got hold of him but in
the struggle the feet were pulled from
under Jordan, and Moore leaving go his
hold, young Haverstick was carried to
the bottom. Word was conveyed to the
parents at once, and measures taken to
recover the body. Parties with seines
and drags proceeded to the spot, and, af-
ter five or six hours work. were success
full. The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is with the parents in their sad
affiictien. Truly it can be said, "In
the midst of life we are in death !"

Dog Laws.-If anybody is attacked on
any highway by dog the party has a
right to kill the dog, and the owner can
be called accountable for any injury in
flicted by the animal. Even on the
premises of the owner of dog, should
party be attacked and injured, after en-
deavoripg to protect himself, the owner
can be made responsible for damages in
flicted, provided it can be shown that at
the time he was in pursuit of business
or on a friendly visit. If dog by bark
ing at passing vehicles occasions any
damage, its owner is liable for the loss
sustained. Thus the law very properay
affords ample protection for loss or In
jury caused by dogs. This information
is published because there are many WI
cious dogs kept throughout the county.

MarysvilIe Romance A constable
from Marysville on Monday arrested in
this city married man named John g.
Balsley, charged with conspiracy in at
tempting to sednce froaa her home in
Marysville young girl aged about le
years. From what can be learned of
the case the girl was at one time in Bal
sley's employ as domestic. 1t is alleg-
ed that his attentions to her created dis
cord in his family, and the buxom do
mestic was discharged. After she went
home she kept up correspondence
with the married man, and together
they laid plans to elope to Baltimore, on
last Sunday the married Lothario to go
to Marysville for that purpose. The pa
rents of the girl however, intercepted
note from Balsley to the girl, and the
whole plot was exposed. They locked
her up, and when her inamorata appear
ed on Sunday he had to content himself
with wandering about the town. The
parents made information before Justice
Fem at Marysville and Balsley was ar
rested. A hearing was had at Marysville
yesterday, and BaIsley was bound over

Ole Bull, who undoubtedly was a remarka-
bic violinist, was certainly not one Of the
great classical serieux" style, but rather
Of the sensational effect school, not entirely free
from tricks which Robert Macaire baptized
"plagues" The above-alluded-to illegitimate
effects were in some instances BY him exsg-
gerated. with a result which immensely
pleased American galleries: and more than
once, when he had diminished his tone 10 a
nearly iuauiible pianissimo, did he continue
the attitude, as if he were playing, but actual
" having drawn of the bow entirely from the
violin, holding it in the air and producing no
tone Whatever, while his audience, in raptures
at the soltness of his really inaudible signs,
made ear-trumphets of their hands and bent
forward. eager to catch the sound which did
not exist. Ole Bull, as if suddenly awakening
from trance, seemed TO come 10 and bowed
to the enraptured audience. Another of his
inventions, with which at first he astonished
even the learned violipists in Vienna, was The
facility with which he played our-stringed
chords, which lie did by cutting the usually
bowed bridge quite straight. That lie did
not succeed in binding great men like Spohr,
who spoke his mind very decidedly against
him, is not 10 be wondered al. As gentleman
very much liked in society, on account Of his
courteous manners and sincerely obiging
ways, he won the sympathy and esteem of lis
couutrymen by hio serious endeavor to do
coed by founding in Norway schools for liter
allure and art, and building theatre, trying
hard to benefit his people in Europe, after be
had failed to do SO. with great personal sacri-
fee, in America.
