Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
From all quarters we hear of the de-
struction dams, and little dreamed that
we were losing in the same line. The
dam at Krall's mill was carried off, and
was the chief cause of the destruction of
the iron bridge at Watts fording. And
now we hear of the destruction of the
iron bridge, known as Heck's bridge, on
the Conodoguinet creek, about four
hundred feet in length. One span was
landed on Heck's island, and the other
three were carried to the swamps be-
tween that and Fairview, where they
are now lying. The creek was never
known to be on the rampage as at this
time, and the wonder is that a larger
number of dams were not carried away.
That we got off as easily, is o great
wonder. We are sorry to lose two of
our best bridges, but at the same time
we are happy that it is no worse.-Mr'-
ror.
One day last week, some unknown
person fired pistol ball through the
back window of the Post Office, in this
place. Mr.. r. Hockersmith, the assist
ant, but moment before, had left the
distributing table adjoining the window,
or 9th erwise might have been wounded
or probably killed. 1t is not supposed
that it was done Intentionally but shows
reckless handling of fire arms.-hip-

Iunlata County, We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers Of
last week
A bridge was first built across the
river at this place in 1927. Since that
the structure has been four times-in-
Guiding this time--partly destroyed by
flood.
The school house in Greenw wood town
ship, known as Straight Water school
house was burned down some days ago.
Stove pipe accident or carelessness was
the cause.
Jacob Sulouff began to ferry people
across the river as soon as the ice ran
thin enough to get a skiff through it,
William Mccoy and William Keiser
are the oresmen.
Sheriff Walls and George Marks and
some strange lady from Altoona were
in the bridge when II began to fall. The
lady had desired to cross to the Patter-
son side. She had stopped them and
asked as to the safety of the bridge, and
while they were stating the danger, the
danger itself appeared. All escaped

The freshet came down the Tuscarora
creek on Saturday and an ice gorge was
formed near East Waterford which
gave away and tore its way along the
course of the creek, swapping off trees,
and leaving big cakes of ice on the
banks, until 1t came to the larger of
the two bridges which connect Beale-
town with McCulloch's Mills. Here
the ice and logs piled up half way to the
top of the roof when a large log burst
through, the bridge shook and bent, and
the under part beneath arches was COM
pletely carried away. The whole bridge
Is now held up by the arch on the upper
side connecting together by its bolts the
uprights. The lower arch is broken,
the sills are almost all gone, and a
large part of the flooring besides being
gone In the center Of it, hangs down on
either side towards the water. The
whole bridge will need rebuilding and
travel will be impeded until it is DONE
There is not even a safe foot way across
the bridge. Royal Times.

Damages by the Ice-Among the dam
ages done by the flood and breakup of
Saturday week which have not
been previously mentioned are the
following:
The dam at Dugan's Mill below Del
vile was torn out except small piece.
The dam at Young's Mill just above,
was some damaged but not taken away.
In many places along Shermans Creek
the ice was forced out into the fields
doing much damage. The roads in
many places were rendered impossible,
where they laid near the creek, by the
ice. In some places the piles of ice
are from 10 to 15 feet high, and the ex-
pense of opening the way will be very
great.
The family of DIR. Sheeder at Sher-
mansdale were for time in considera-
bic danger. The ice was piled up with
in few feet of the house and almost
surrounding it. At IL o'clock at night
the water had reached so high that the
family moved up stairs with expecta-
tions of the water soon reaching them
there. But fortunately the ice at the
bridge gave way and the water suddenly
fell. They are still surrounded by a
fertilization of ice.
The foot-log crossing the creek above
Falling Spring was swept away. This
had been put up within a year at an ex-

" A Sad Accident. Shortly after o'clock
on Saturday afternoon Willie, IA year
old son of Mr.. Samuel Peale of this place
was terribly injured by kick from a
horse. The horse belonged to Mr.. Henry
Sheaffer and was hitched in front of his
stable. Willie wanted to enter the
building and was passing, when the
animal kicked striking him near the
ear on the right side of his head, knock
ing him insensible. The blood poured
out of the boys ears making the ice
where he fell look like the floor of a
slaughter house. He was at once taken
home and medical aid called. There
was no improvement in the boys con-
dition, and about 5 o'clock DR.. Orris
was telegraphed for, to consult with DIR.
Strickler. AT the time we go to press
(Monday morning), the boy is still in
sensible though there is slight i'm
provement in his symptoms. One
strange thing about the case is that
though the horse had just been rough
shod there is no signs of blow from a
shoe, and the horse must have struck
the boy with the hook instead of the
hoof. 1t is impossible to tell at this time
what will be the result of the injuries.

son, who has roamed through the world
for about 35 years, having never met the
choice of his heart, was walking up Main

looking country girl and some friends.
He was not acquainted with the girl, but
introductions soon followed; she blushed
and he was confused, and there was no
getting around it, it was case Of love at
first sight. They talked earnestly fol
about half an hour, the friends having
departed. They soon parted with kiss
she going north and he going south. Ir

WHY lie WENT OUT OF JOUR-
NALIsNI.


Russell Young, gazing at the blue ring
of smoke just expelled from his lips, be-
tween which Reina Victoria was bal
anced, edo you mind telling US how you
came to desert from the ranks of journal
ism?" Tom Ochiltree, carefully setting
down his glass of Perrier Jouet, said:
"What! boys, did never tell you that
story--why. its one of the most remark
able events of my life! When Young first
knew me, I can say, without conceit,
that was star of the first magnitude
in the literary frmanent. | had pro-
prietary interest in real live paper
down in Texas The Houston Telegraph
was morning and evening paper, had
weekly edition, and was the leader of
public opinion all over the South. l
tell you that when man quoted the
Huston Telegraph he was listened to,
and the paper was celebrated for its
truthfulness and terse English wherever
the language was spoken-and don't you
forget it! 1t was big paper, and we
were doing so we'll, subscriptions and ad-
vertisements coming in so fast, that l
thought it would be a fair thing to have
little relaxation in the way of spending
few of the Summer months in Europe.
1t isn't bad thing on the other side to
be known as the editor of prominent
newspaper in America, and I soon found
myself sought after and perhaps rather
too conspicuous, which is not at all in
my line.
"Well, and Jim Bennett were stroll.
ing down the boulevard one evening,
smoking our cigars, after good dinner
at the Cafe Anglais. We had three or
four dukes and couple of earls with us,
and I think baronet or so (Jim is par.
tial to English noblemen), when Bennett
suddenly halted the whole party at the
telegraph Office under the Grand Hotel,
saying: Hold on, dukes, have got a
big dispatch to send to the New York
Herald, just handed to me by my French
correspondent.
"We all filed in and crowded the of
fee, while the dukes and earls wondered
at the prodigal expenditure of the young
American editor.
81 wasn't going to be behind hand az
an American editor, so says I: How
much will the telegraph cost?'
Sixty thousand five hundred francs,
says the operator, and dirt cheap, too.'
Says 1: Duplicate the dispatch tt
the Houston Telegraph With your per
mission Jim, says I.
"By Cord! gentlemen, the whole thin
was telegraphed to Texas-four columns
solid-and the Houston Telegraph wen
into bankruptcy the next day. 1 havn'
been taking much interest in newspaper
since. I prefer politics, and that's til
exact truth about the matter. Jus
wake up John Russell Young, will you
and We'll take drink"
