1he Harrisburg Telegraph says, a
tramp, % years old, sleeping on the
cinder bank ct Paxton furnace, Harris
burg, was crushed and burned to death
by having a cart load of hot Stag dump
cd upon him. He uttered no alarm
and the carter was not aware Of the
terrible accident until some time after
ward when another carter noticed q
smoke ari5ing aud smell as if clothing
was burning. He made an e1,mina-
tion sni discovered the tramp, whoso
body was rapidly being consumed
Summonipg help the charred remains
were removed from under the heavy
load of hot cindsr. The unfortunate
mau's head and face were terribly
mashed, Ehile all over his body we're
frightful burns.
The Altoona Tribune remarks, that
a Kentucky democratic representative
hss introduced a bill giving the whisky
mskers two years more time in which TO
pay taxes about coming due This, if
successful, will eventually be followed
By a bill exoneratiog these gentleman
from the payment, of any tax. We have
no idea as to the probable fate of the
bill Just introduced But as this is
the presidential year, and both parties
are anxious to couclliste the rum inter
ests and utterly in different as to the
desires of temperance mel, nIne-tenths
of whom can always be depended upon
to support the party candidate regard
less of his character OF the platform
upon which he stands, i. has su excel
lent chance Of becoming law. We shall
see.
A living ghos. had taken up its
quarters in grave yard adjacent to
an hundred year old church, at Ando-
yer, Mas, and enthusiastically sp-
pesred on the road in white and fright
eued both man and beast On Sun
day evening week ago. doctor in
sleigh was passing the church, the
ghost come out, the doctor gave the
lines to a person that was in the sleigh
with him, and sprang cut and gave
chase, the would be spook ran into the
church, and up into the bellfry, the
doctor followed and caught tho ghost.
1t turned out to be a crack Drained
man citizen of that neighborhood, who
could not take care of S60,0o0 es-
tate. The estate was taken from him
and placed in the hands of guardians.
There is always something wrong with
the upper story Of the person that fire.
quently plays ghost,
The last Of the River,ide Park
buildings we're sold one day last week,
BY Constable Rollmau. Showers and
Scholl bought one of the large build
ings for so dollars. S. b. Loudon
bought the judges stand for II dollars.
Alas how the glory of the place has
departed. Once before, long ago, the
same piece Of ground was the location
for town, streets were laid out. and
lots we're surveyed and nicely planned
on paper, deeds in blank were printed,
but the enterprise did not prosper The
river ford vas not good one and that
gave to this place an advantage that
overcane the objection to the lower
town, which had been named Mifiin-
town. The few lots that were sold,
were, IN the course of time, absorbed
by surrounding land holders and fenced
in with the farms, till now nothing re-
mains to evidence the site for the towh
excepting well or two, and the long
broad street that exteeds from the ca
nal to the pike. 1t is probable that a.
moDg the papers of old citizens, deeds
for lots, in the dofunct town, may be
found.
