Several persons in this county, mostly IN
Myers district, were the victims of a little
sharp practice on the part of a man calling
himself James F. Rose, who represented that
De was the agent Of Price & Head, dealers
in hard wood, Baltimore. His object was the
purchase of walnut logs, which were to be
delivered at the depot in this city, on Thurs
day Of last week, and certain price would
be paid for them. A large number OF logs
were hauled here at the time agreed upon,
aud Rose and man representing himself as
Price, one Of the FIRM, were present. Rose
soon left, and Price stated that he had not
authorized Rose to buy for them, but that
Rose had informed them that be had lot OF
walnut timber which he desired to dispose Of
and that he Price had come here to pur-
chase. Il was soon discovered that q swim
die had been perpetrated and some, sooner
than haul their logs home, sold to Price at
the figures offered, which we're much below
the price agreed upon by Rose. Others took
their timber home, and q few disposed Of
them to parties in this city.
A. similar swindle was practieed at New
Freedom, York county, Pa, and no doubt BY
the same party.

1t is fortunate for large number OF our cltl-
zens that Mr.. Rudisell's spring keeps up Its
flow of water, otherwise they would be put to
great Inconvenience.
Mr.. A. 0rndorff is making preparations TO
build residence on the lot he recently pur-
chased; DR.. George 7. Motter is building a
fine stable, and I. II. Eckenrode's new resi-
dence is rapidly nearing completion.
Corn is turning out well considering the
very dry summer.
Another correspondent sends US the fol-
lowing:
Never has our town felt the scarcity of
water to such an extent as at present. Many
citizens have no drinking water, and what few
have are afraid to use it owing to the low
condition of the wells, as the water from them
has been pronounced unwholesome.
Recently sown wheat stands IN need OF
rain, and farmers fear that their labor VIII
amount to nothing unless it comes soon.
Typhoid fever prevails TO a considerable
extent III this place and vicinity, and IN some
instances has proved fatal.
John, son of James G. Davis, who was ac-
cidentally thrown down by coiored boy,
opposite the Catholic Church, few weeks
ago, and had one of his hips injured, Is now
able to sit up a short time daily.
A project is on foot to establish an engine
and boiler works here by some of our enter
prising citizens. Four gentlemen have sub
scribed $50, 900, and it is thought the neces-
sary amount, S75, 600, can soon be secured.
