A Successful knSe.

a short time ago some philadelphia
Quakers, belonging to an Indian del
egation, were crossing q wide plain in
a hostile country. The driver of the
ambulance called their attention to
four Indians on horseback, who soon
surrounded the vehicle. A young
brave III war paint made unmistaka-
bic signs Of hostility.
The interpreter told him they were
medicine men and peacemcn. He re-
piled that they must prove themselves
medicine men; Of peace men they
had too many already to steal their
land and have soldiers to kill them.
"Be quick" said he, ''show Us
some wonderful medicine work, or we
will kill you," putting action to his
words BY the flourishing of arms.
Here was dilemma. Pointing to
the eldest one, a fine.looking Quaker,
xix feet in his stockings, with white
hair, who had been the first talker Of
the party, he furiously gesticulated
and cried out:
"Medicine man, show! Medicine
man, show!'
An inspiration seized the Quaker.
lie had double set of false teeth, on
plates of fesh-colored material, and
pointing at his teeth with his finger,
and then tapping them with uch
Rr'mace and decision. he motioned for
all the braves to come. up within sight,
and when all were intent upon him ne
deliberately took out first the upper
set and then the lower set of teeth,
and made motion with his neck as
II about to separate his head from his
body. when the braves wheeled their
horses and rode furiously away, and
the party OF peacemakcrs also turned
their horses head forward, rejoiced at
theif shrewd dcliverancc.

or The Pennsylvania. Ohio and Sir-
gtpia Railroad Through Warrington
County.
Last evenings Washington Reporter says:
A meeting Of the stockholders OF the
~Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia Railroad
Company, of Virginia, was held in Pitts
burgh on Saturday, at which the PROPOSE
ton to consolidate with two other conn
panies of the same name, one located IN
this State and the other in West Virginia,
was accepted. The Stockholders OF
the other companies were also TO
have met and voted on the
same proposition, but the meetings were
FASHIONED until next Saturday. At that
time the last of the preliminaries necessary
TO the consolidation will be arranged, and
instead of three companies there Will only
be one. The object OF the Froprietors IN
obtaining these charters was stated severai
weeks ago. and also the fact that it IS the
intention TO construct a road from Cross
Greek, a point on the Pittsburgh, Charters
4 Youghiogheny Railroad, to Wheeling.
At a meeting yesterday morning the
line by way of Wellsbure was adopted:
After the adjournment it was stated that
all the preliminary surveys are expected
to be completed by October, and that after
hat time work on the construction OF the
road will be commenced very soon. 1t
also learned that the Econo'
mites and the Pittsburgh, Char.
tiers and Ioughiogheny Railroad
company are backing the new enter
prise. This makes its construction feason-
ably certain and vastly increases the i'm:
p%ortance of the Pittsburgh, CHARTERS and
Ioughiogheny. With one arm extending
10 Latrobe on the east and the other to
Wheeling on the sou Invest, the line will
form a short cut across the southwestern
conner of the State.

SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN Z
Saturday evening when the sissmer
Frank Stein came to the wharf she landed
along side of the steamer Telegram. After
she had left the Waterman OF the Telegram
went back TO look around and discovered
a scat and vest, apparently new, lying on
the guards. He took the goods up stairs
and found a handkerchief and some money
in the pockets. but no papers. About an
hour afterwards q young man went doW
on the landing and called to the Waterman
10 90 back to the stern of the boat, as he
wanted to speak to him. The Waterman
paid no attention to him, and after waiting
some time the party left. It Is supposed
the goods were stolen off the Stein and hid
on the Telegram, and that the party en-
deayo-ing to call the watchman's attention
was irving to get them. The goods can be
obtained by calling on the Waterman OF the
Barnard, which is lying near the wharf.

northumberland Locals,

We have had several days of fine wealth
er, which no doubt has been pleasing to
the farmers, giving them a chance TO cul-
tivate the growing crops. The hay crop
will be abundant. Wheat only medium.
Corn looks well but is short for the time Of
year. Potatoes promise a large yield.
Fruit prospects are fine, especially Tor ap.
pies end peaches.
The Fire Brick and Sewer Pipe works
are all running on full time.
The Board OF Education Of the lnde-
pendent district of this place expect TO
build an addition of about thirty.five feet
long by twenty-five wide TO each end OF the
already large school house; being two
stories high it will give them four ad.
ditional rooms, which will accommodate
young America Tor a few years at least.
Postmaster Beebout is putting up a brick
building on his lot, opposite the postofice,
forty. six feet long by twenty.six wide, W
stories in height, the first floor to be used

The Fire Brick Association had a large
safe placed in their office last week weigh
ing about thirty.ive hundred pounds.

doubt the finest instrument OF the kind in
the Pan Handle.
Richard Ward has repaired the old Dis
ciple church purchased by him recently;

public one in the place, and was used for
preaching, school purposes, lectures, sing
ing classes and exhibitions of various kinds,
and in 1852, during the food, was filled
with household goods until the high waters
abated. Peace to Its memory.

A Little Girl Has q Narrow Escape.

About s O'Clock last night a little four
year old daughter of Charley Snyder's, liy-
ing on Sixteenth street, hal a narrow es-
cape from serious injury. For some time
past the children living along the line OF
the Elm Grove road have made a practice
OF jumping on the rear end OF the cars, not
only annoying the drivers, but running
the risk of some accident resulting. About
the hour named Mr.. Snyder's little girl
jumped on a car, aud in endeavoring to get
off her clothes became fastened, and she
was dragged some distance over the road
bed. A gentleman ran to her assistance in
front of Floto's bakery and released her.
The horses were going at a trOt, and how
ste escaped serious injury is hard to tell.
As it was, her limbs were badly bruised
and cut.
