Cumberland County.--We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
Mrs Charlotte Kingsley, of MELVILLE,
was painfully hurt last week by darn
ing needle entering her foot as she was
walking across the floor. AS the needle
broke and part remains in her foot
serious results were apprehended, but at
this time the wound is not especially
painful.
We doubt whether there is any place
in Pennsylvania as dry as it is in the
Upper Mifflin and part of Hopewell
townships. There has been no rain
there since the 9th of July to amount to
anything and the result is failure i'm
the corn crop. Some fields will yield
but two barrels to the acre.
John, ,Stoner had narrow escape from
death on Saturday. He was digging
a well about thirty feet back where they
were blasting rocks in Shapley's cellar.
He was in the well when a blast was
put off, and stone as large as man
can lift was hurled into it. How he
escaped being struck by the stone is a
miracle
OH NlOHuby ldSb Wllllb JOHD vi
Newville, was cutting logs at the steam
saw mill on the McCachran farm, his
axe struck log that had rolled up to
him unnoticed, and the axe glanced off
striking the top of his foot, cutting it
open about four inches in length. Mr..
Harlin was brought to his home in
town and DR.. j. G.. Claudy sent for who
sewed the cut up. Mr.. H. thinks it
will be a few days before he will cut any
more logs for the steam saw mill.
One day last week, daughter of G.
V. Kelley, fell from an apple tree and
broke her arm.
Miss Rachael McCune, an old lady
living along the Ridge road, fell down
the stairs of her residence and broke
her arm. DIR Betz is attending both the

The stock Market.

San Francisco Daily Report: We do
not know why the stock market is SO
strong, or, rather, why prices are so high,
and we do not believe that any other news
paper knows. Under such circumstance
it is the duty Of a newspaper to refrain
from saying anything which may encour-
age its readers to buy stocks. Prices are
now high and no development justifying
them has been made public. There is q
rumor upon the street that the bonanza
firm has committed to other hands the
task of raising prices and producing a
boom with the intention of selling to the
public the stocks now held by the firm, or
as much Of them as possible, and
escaping responsibility and odium in
so doing. OF course this is bear
talk: there may not be the least truth in
1t, lust as there may not be the least truth
in the ore rumors which are now a1oat. as
usual, There is, however, n thing GER
tain, and that is that somebody, who has
not appeared for a long time past as an OPP
orator, is now swinging the market, and
that his operations are thus far sanctioned
by the powers that be. As far as anybody
outside the ring knows, Sierra Nevada is
as likely to go to So as 500, with chances
OF its reaching the former before the latter
figure. Still, a development may be shown
at any moment. The situation is thor
oughiy mysterious, and buying under the
circumstance is neither more nor less
thar gambling.

A Book for the Young.

The SENTINEL is in receipt of a small
book, entitled Rosa Won Tannerberg," a
tale translated from the German of schmid
by Lucie Agnes Archer Of Petersburg, yir-
ginai, a neice Of Judge Harmon Of Eureka.
The original story has long held its own in
the affections of the God-fearing Germans,
as intoxicating a lesson that careful re-
ligious training in youth best secures true
happiness and usefulness in after life. The
translation is marked by graceful English,
simple. yet vigorous, and is written within
the range OF the understanding Of young
minds. The book is intended as a health
full moral motor for children, and as such
recommends itself to parents generally.
John Scott, New York. is the publisher,
andi I may no doubt be secured by mail from
that house or from the translator. 1t IL
worthy Of place in the family library.

At . trial In Stockton Of some OF the

we yirtuous spouse, after perusing the

and says in a voice Of concentrated bitter
ness and distrust "You were ogled were

am, was toiling ct home for you and your
children. 0gleo Oh you" etc., etc., etc.

An Eastern exchange has the following
at does seem queer, when you come to
think OF it. that people who own what they
consider good mines, always seem willing
and even anxious TO sell them. When a
man goes to a new mining camp he finds
several dozen mines which, he is told, are
first class and which can be bought cheap.
Almost any OF them will show ore running
from 500 to 81 900 per ton, with several
hundred tons Of ore in sight. Yet this
mine will be sold-at bedrock price-for
a couple Of thousand dollars, or even less.
1t seems that the spirit to trade mines
is as firmly fixed as that of trading in
horses. A man may own q horse which
has all the points to make up a perfect
horse. as every horse is supposed to have,
and yet he will trade him off on the slight
est provocation. 1t is the same with a
mine; especially a new and slightly devel-
oped one. The owner may strike a bonanza
at any moment, yet he is ready to take
ready cash and let the next man have the
chance for the bonanza. This has always
been so. and probably always will be SO.
Men will sit contented on a little dump
at the mouth Of a prospect hole and wait
for a purchaser, when q few blows Of their
pick might show them their fortunes. But
they know by experience that their ledge
has 8 petered.' They prefer the sure thing
OF q sale to the doubtful thing Of working
the mine. II there is any other reason We
do not know it,"

Robinson Crusoe" drew a fair but not
large audience last night. The old bur-
lesque was we'll presented, though the
scenic effects Of the island home were
wanting. Alice Atherton, whose hoarse-
ness had somewhat improved, though not
sufficiently to use her pleasant
voice in the pretty farewell song,
which she made a painful effort to
render, was as charming as she was
s~prightly, and in the closing act was cap
tivatingly handsome. Willie Edouin In
his original character of Friday, Crusoe's
heather shadow on the lonely isle, was in
his element, and made a great deal Of lively
fun. He has lost none Of the limberness
which made him famous on the California
stage a number Of years back. Miss Rus
sell warbled as sweetly as on the previous
night, and was accorded several encores.
The most vivacious member of the troupe
appears to be Miss Marion Elmore, who IL
not only q bright, sparkling soubrette, but
thoroughly accomplished in the terpsi-
chorean art. The costumes generally were
brilliant, and the ladies looked lovely.
The cast, however, lacked drilling, and
some Of the members required more
prompting than is looked for in such an
excellent company.
Tonight dreams, or Fun in a Photo
graph Gallery" will be repeated by re-
quest. There will be no matinee this af-
ternoon.

A standing joke among the medical fra
ternity, says the Gold Hill News, is the
diploma" business. All Of the doctors
know-or if they don't know it is a sure
sign that they don't know enough-that a
diploma is a purchasable commodity, and
that numerous hundreds Of doctors can
show and record diplomas to which they
have no sort Of right except by purchase.
So, having a diploma recorded does not
always prove that the recorder thereof is
ANYTHING more than 0 fraud or quack. In
fact, buying and recording a
diploma Tor a specific purpose Is
prima facie evidence Of quackary.
The best and most honest and practical
"diploma" by any physician or surgeon
can possibly have in his record Of public
general practice. 1t rstiuires something
more than diplomas to make a physician.
Good, square, medical common sense and
experience will knock a wagon load Of di-
plomas sky high.

ARCADIAN CUSTOMS.
MY Wife Should Hear of Ii ="
Stock Exchange.

Stock Exchange.
A man from the mountains visited the
Alameda baths a few days ago with q city
friend. He was astonished. When I
lived in San Francisco" he said, "men
and women did not battle together in this
fashion," He was told that this free
mingling OF the sexes was the dawn Of q
new era, a return to the innocent manners
and customs OF our very remote ancestors.
He shook his head increduously, remarked
that he was too old to understand that
sort Of thing, and expressed a desire to be
at home with his family. Those baths are
a study for the philosopher. The line be-
tween innocence and coquetry is SO finely
drawn in the salt water that it takes a pow
erful pair Of opera glasses to discern it.
The maidens who lave their fair limbs in
these baths are not, as a rule, charry about
the display of their charms; their arms are
bare, and their legs are also uncovered,
while the wet drapery clinging to their
forms brings out every line and curve as
nature made it. Accidents Of a peculiar
and embarrassing nature sometimes occur
in these bathing ponds. A few days ago a
very comedy and rather stout young lady
was learning to swim. She struck out
vigorously, but her muscle was too
mucn IOr tne SWITCHES OF her Datu-
ing suit, and a terrible catastro-
phe was the result. Nobly she
struggle to grasp the treacherous garment,
and a gallant swimmer, beholdipg her
spasmodic clutches, believed she was
drowning and dashed to her assistance.
The lady screamed at his approach, and
the rescuer made still more frantic exer-
tons to reach her. But happily ere he
laid hand upon her. something like the
pale, cold moon at its full, cleaning be-
meath the surface Of the water, met his
startled gaze. He blushed crimson, Owed,
and came up 20 yards away. while the
distressed nymph was picked up by a
couple Of sympathetic maids, and by them
escorted to her d~ressing-room.
Teaching young ladies to swim is one of
the most delightful pastimes OF the age.
Holding up their pretty chins, showing
them how the kicking is to be done, duck
ing them gently for the fun Of clawing
them out with q chance grip, tend to make
swimming an intellectual and highly en-
joyable amusement. All this was explained
to the man from the mountains. but
though he confessed he would have no
objection to such recreation. he added
feelingly, "Thare would be the devil to
pay If my wife should hear OF IT,"

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

The San Francisco Call says there is now
in circulation in that city q counterfeit IS
piece likely to deceive any person trusting
to the ordinary tests. 1t bears the date of
1869, and at q casual glance seems as we'll
milled a piece as the genuine product Of
the Mint, the impressions on both sides
being sharp and well defined. Its ring
closely resembles that of gold. A slight
scratch betrays the fact that the bogus
piece is gold-plated on some white metal
somewhat harder than silver. In q very
short time the plating wears off on the
edges, exhibiting the counterfeit. A close
inspection of the stars will betray the
piece. as they are larger and not as mathe-
matically accurate as those Oh thssgenuine.
When new, the bogus coin will deceive any
one but an expert.

cinct. He started home on horseback last
evening. This morning his horse came
home ridsrless, and with spots Of blood on

search of the missing man Immediately,
and found, while crossing Kendall's bridge,
10 miles from Albany, Francis coat, hat,
necktie, collar, and a purse cut open.
Blood was found on the coat. The theory
advanced is that Francis murdered body

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit Of
those who want to NOW how we sell Goods 30
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways Ia the market, and are thoroughly con-
versant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to 1t from childhood, and therefore
know the texture Of any piece Of Goods, and
market all the time know when they see q
piece of new gooda. and no old stock that has
been In the store for years can be pAlmed OF
on them as being Of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get . certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell so cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash. thereby lessening our expenses. II we
had to keep . set Of books we would need
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts Of others to make good their losses.
