ther-in-law S. T. Hench, where he row lies
i n a critical condition. Lands is worse

The Perry county Advocate says: One
day last week party of gypsies came to
house of John Gardner, i'll Perry wild
Cat) valley, about three miles north of New
port, and asked for food and clothing.
While Mrs. Gardner, who was alone, went
into one OF the rooms to satisfy their de.
mands, part OF the band ransacked bureau
in which some money had been placed and
carried off between 50 and $40. How they
procured the key so quickly, which was hid
den away in an adjoining cupboard cannot
be easily explained.
Last Friday, q bad smell came from 4
trunk that came from the direction of Chi
cago into the Union Depot at Pittsburg.
The trunk was opened and found to contain
man all doubled up and tied with cords
so as TO go into the trunk. ssThere were no
marks of violence, and so far as could be
ascertained from an outward examination
the stomach was in a normal condition.
The body was that OF laboring man, prob
ably thirty years old, Of short, heavy build,
with a smooth face. II e was dressed in
Dair of checked wollen pants, blue Gotten
shirt, blue wooden stockings, and his feet
were pair of new congress CATERS. There
was nothing on his person that would fur
nish any clue to his identity, except an in-
ternational money order, in favor of Filippo
Caruso, for S25.45. The order was drawn
at Chicago on February "a, 1885.
The horse owned by William Keiser and
John Rapp backed into the canal from the
west end of Cherry street, few mornings
ago. The beast was working in a cart haul
ing material to DR.. Banks house at the
place designated. In turning around to
dump load the animal backed to hard,
passed over the obstruction to stop the cart
and passed the end of the house and went
down the steep bank, tail foremost. On the
way down the declivity of thirty-fye or for
ty feet the cart struck some obstruction
which caused the horse to turn a clean sum-
mersault and was thus placed in front of
the cart on the downward go. With the
horse ahead of the cart both slid into the
canal like some heavy object coming down
creased inclined plain. Fortunately when
the summersault was made the harness was
torn and the horse when he struck the wa
ter was able to swim clear of :he cart. The
beast swan down the canal short distance
and came to shore, seemingly not much
hurt.
The Newton Hamilton Watchman says:
On Tuesday last the board Of control OF the
Jupiata Valley Campmeeting association
held a meeting at their office on the camp
grounds, and ordered a number ofimprove-
ments TO be made to the grounds and build
iDgs, the principal of which was the re-roof-
ing of seven blocks OF tents They also de-
termIDed TO plant a number of trees IN the
various circles, TO take the places of some
that died and others that were re-
moved, which were considered dangerous
in The event of a storm. 4 new picket
fence will also be erected in place of the old
rail fence that runs parallel with the Penn
sylvania railroad. This is done to prevent
intoxicated persons and disreputable char
acters gaining ad mittance TO the grounds
by scaling the fence. Hereafter every one
will be obliged TO enter the enclosure at the
several gates, at which vigilant policemen
will be stationed, with orders TO refuse all
persons Of doubtful reputation. The fences
and buildings will be whitewashed, the grove
cleared of brush, and the grounds placed in
excellent sanitary condition. In fact moth
ing will beleft undone whic would have a
tendency to aid IN beautifying the grounds
and making Them attractive to the thousands
who annually congregaie 1t this place dur
the progress of campmeeting.
