Westmoreland county shared in the devas tating effects of Saturday's storm. At Shaner's station, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, two houses occupied by the families of miners, named Maguire and Dailey, were swept by the fierce torrent of McGrew's run into the Youghiheny river. The Magnire family all escaped in safety from the death that threatened them, but the six little chil dren of the Daileys remained in the building almost until it had been carried into the river. The mother of the children, nearly frantic, rushed to the bank and springing into the alternately moving and stationary structure, one at a time picked her little ones np, and as though endowed for the occasion with won derful power and nerve, sprang ashore with each and placed it in safety. When she had in her arms the last child, the house again be gan to move toward the river.

The distance to the bank measurably increased and by a miracle only could a leap carry her beyond the swelling flood that roared between. The mother closed her eyes and sprang forward once more. It was an awful leap an awful moment for the spectators, powerless to aid her. She reached the bank, and a hearty mnrmnr of thankfulness went np she threw her little one forward, safe npon the ground. Then fainting away, she fell backward back into the boiling curreut which d.aged her down into its muddy, invisible depths aud out into the midst of the river.

The brave mother's body had not been recovered last night np to midnight. A Tramp Kills Illniself by the Road-side. The dead body of an unknown man, sup posed to have been a tramp, was discovered on the roadside in Cambria township, Cam bria connty, about halfway between Ebens burg and Carrolltown, at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning, by a young man named Schettig, who was on his way to the latter place to attend church. Mr. Adam Schettig, his father, saysour Johnstown cotemporary in giving the particulars, had passed along some distance, not noticing the corpse, but was not yet out of hearing, and his son called him back.

It was concluded to summon a Justice from Carroll-town for the purpose of holding an inquest, and the old gentlemen went on to the village, leaving the young man in charge of the body. Esq. Scanlan impaneled a jury and went out to the place, where the body was viewed, and the evidence of Mr. Schettig aud his son taken, after which tb-y returned a verdict that deceased had committed suicide. This was the only con clusions that could be arrived at from the fact that a bullet had been fired through his head, just above the left eye, and by his side was found a revolver of the pattern known as "tramp's terror" a seven-shooter with only two of the chambers containing cartridges.

The identical tramp bought the revolver last Friday at Mr. George Huntley's store, in Ebensburg. Poor Director Kirk-patrick took charge of the body and removed it to Carrolltown, where a coffin was procured. and the remains were then conveyed to the almshouse burying ground for interment. No papers or effects of any kind were found on the person of the deceased.

He was a German, about 30 years of age, and from the general appearance of his surroundings it is quite probable that he was a tired tramp who sought' surcease of sorrow in piercing the veil which bides time trom eternity. Rev. Dr. Hamlin and Lady Capsized. Our genial preacher friend and his estima ble wife one day this week took a land voyage in a buggy, behind a spirited nag, to visit a member of the congregation in the country.

Now, be it known that the reverend doctor is an expert horseman and driver, having learned the art in the youthful days of his circuit riding, and can turn a horse and buggy on the circumference of a good-sized cart wheel. On the day in question the doctor got along well enough until he had well nigh reached the goal of his destination, when an unfortunate horse in a field along the road bad become dissatisfied with his quarters and essayed to find newer and greener pastures. in lamping the fence be tell and broke his neck, tumbling in the roadway. In driving past the dead animal the doctor horse naturally shied to one side, going by at a rapid gait. The consequence was that the buggy got too near the embankment aud overturned, throwing the doctor and his wife out and giving them a severe shaking np.

Fortunately they escaped without broken bones, though the doctor thinks if his ribs were not broken they approach that misfortune as near as there is any ust. The horse took in the mischief and stood still, like a good horse onght to do nnder such circumstances. And now the doctor has a host ot Job sympathisers who advise him to purchase a good family beast, and recommend those two in particular that put Messrs. John Cherry and D. 41.

About 1 o'clock on Friday afternoon Ar thur Reece, a well to-do farmer living near Clearfield, hanged himself in his barn. In the absence of the Coroner Esquire Howe was summoned, who immediately re paired to the place, impaneled a jury and, after a short deliberation, rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts. Mr.

Reece left the house about 9 o'clock and went directly to the barn. The hired girl saw him in the barnyard an hour later. When dinner was ready he was called, but no response came, whereupon the girl went to the barn to hnnt him np. On opening the stable door she discovered the body suspended by a short rope, the feet touching the floor. On examination it was found that he had stood npon the manger, adjusted the rope properly, then deliberately slid off and strangled.

On a shingle near by he had written his will, and charged his wife with being the cause of the trouble that led to the terrible deed. At the time of his death he was living 'with his second wife, and it is known that their matrimonial relations were not at all pleasant Eye, Ear, Throat and Catarrh. Send stamp for Drs.

Irvin, Robert McFalls. Tom Jackson's Queer Pet. Tom Jackson, of this city, has a trained horned-toad, which is quite a curiosity. It is as tame as a kitten, and, in a quiet way, is. full of fun.

Mrs. Jackson has trained the little fellow to stand erect upon his hind feet, to stand on his head steadying himself with his forepaws to turn over on his back and sham dead, and to do quite a number of sim ilar tricks. Tom says he thinks she will soon have the toad trained to play the jewsharp quite as well as the average Piute musician. The toad is fed on flies and similar insects, but is also very fond of milk, which it drinks from a spoon. Although always called a horned-toad or horned-frog in this country, the little beaBt is a lizard.

Naturalists call it an iguanian lizard of the gen us phrynosoma. Our monutaineers, who are often quite as close observers of every living thiDg met with in the wilds as any naturalist, speak of a thing characteristic of the horned toad that we have never seen mentioned by any of the scientists. It is that when the female is teased by a dog it ejects two small streams or slender threads of blood at least a red liquid resembling blood. The liquid is spurted to the distance of nearly two feet, and with considerable force. The liquid is evidently provided the little animal as a means of defense against foxes, wolves and such animals, and, whatever may be its nature it renders a dog very uncomfortable iu the region of the stomach.

One dose of it satisfies his curiosity. Railroad Earnings and Traffic. The following statement of the business on all lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company east of Pittsburgh and Erie for June, 1879, as compared with the same month in 1878, shows An increase in gross earnings $313,949 An increase in expenses of. 10,610 An increase in net earnings of. 8303,339 The six months of 1879, as compared with the same period in 1878, show An increase in gross earnin of.

In the yard of one of our citizens the other day, took place a novel combat between a large Maltese cat and a robin.

What had pro voked the strange scrimmage is unknown, but it was a lively affair while it lasted. The robin perched in a cherry tree, watching a favorable opportunity, would fly at the cat in a furious manner, striking it -on the back and head, The feliue would fall down and turn over on its back, and strike wickedly at its feathered antagonist with its feet. The robin would then return to its perch, and as soon as the cat would resume an upright position would renew the attack, when the animal would immediately institute the same mode of defence. This was kept up for some time, when the cat began to realize that it had a foe of no mean pretensions, and sought safety in flight, taking up its abode in the cellar. The robin relieved of the presence of his antagonist resumed his perch and sang a soDg of victory in the top3 of the surrounding trees.

A Daylight Robbery. The store of E. H. Pritchard, at Seventh avenue and Fifth street, was entered by thieves on Thursday afternoon and a quantity of cigars and tobacco Mr. Pritchard was absent from home at the time, being engaged at his work in the railroad shops.

Mrs. Pritchard was also away. The upper sash of one of the windows was unfastened, and the thieves effected an entrance by letting the sash down and crawling through the aperture, which would indicate that they were acquainted with the weaknesses of the establishment. The Iosb amonnts to about $15, and the articles stolen comprise a five-pound case of "Mussulman" and two plugs of "Gold Medal" chewing tobacco, two hundred cigars, twelve small sacks of smoking tobacco and four packages of cigarettes. This store has been the scene of frequent petty thefts heretofore.

Burned In the Face with Concentrated Lye. Russell Crozier, the 15-year old son of Richard Crozier, painter on Eleventh avenue, was painfully burned in the face about noon Friday. Three boxes of concentrated lye were put to dissolve in a pail in the rear room of the shop, and when the lad undertook to pick up the vessel for some purpose it slipped from his grasp, and the contents were splashed into his face. The solution was very powerful, and it severely burned one eye, which he was unable to open during the greater part of the afternoon. The uninjured eye also gave him considerable trouble because of the sympathy existing between those two delicate organs.

Dr. Christy made an examination and found that the eye beneath the lids was not injured, and the lad was able to open both before the physician left in the evening. Some Further Particulars in Regard lo the Great Calamity. The Tribune last week presented its readers with a condensed report of the terrible explosion in the stone quarry at Huntingdon, in which three men lost their lives. The following additional particulars are taken from an extra" issued by that enterprising little paper, the Huntingdon News "The quarry is located at an elevation of about forty feet where the men were working, near the bauk of the river.

The men had been drilling for the pat few days, but not making much speed the sub contractor and foreman, Mr. Ryan, of Pailadelphia, determined to fill a fissure iu the large mass of rocks, and for that purpose poured in three kegs of powder, tamping the same as he proceeded. About half-past 3 P. M. the men were engaged in putting in the fourth keg of powder, Ryan at the time tamping the powder with a long iron spoon; Rancoroni was pouring in the powder from a tin cup which he held in his hand, and Ketfa was standing or lying upon the rock, and all of them immediately above the "terrible crevice.

At a tree across the ravine, about fifty yards from the quarry, was found the lower half of the body of Keefe, his head, shoulders, breast and intestines having been torn asunder; a short distance below him was found the body of Rancoroni, the side and back part of his head having been blown away. It is believed that both men were thrown high into the air and fell through the branches of the trees, a portions of their clothing were found sticking to the upper limbs. Portions of the men's flesh and bodies were found in different parts of the ground. The body of Ryan was not found until 7 o'clock the same evening, when a party of men walking along the opposite side of the dam discovered the shapeless mass of human flesh near the shore. The distance he had been carried was probably over three hundred yards.

His body was cut in two, aird nothing was found but the trunk and arms. Ryan was about 40 years of age and his fam ily lives in Philadelphia. Keefe was a married man aud lived at Lock Haven, Pa, He had been in Huntingdon but a few days, and on Saturday evening bad sent home a portion of the money he had earned, aud wrute an encouraging letter to his family. Rancoroni was a lesidentof Huntingdon, and was known as the Italian. He had been here employed various kinds of labor for a num ber of years, and was a strong, industrious man.

He was aged about 50 years, and leaves a wife and three children. He was believed to be an expert- at blasting, having been successful in digging wells for a number of our citizens, and it is thought bad he been in charge of the work the explosion would not have ocenrred. The cause of the explosion is unknown, but is believed to have been a spark produced by the iron spoon used for tamping striking the flinty sandstone. Such an impression, at least, would be induced from the evidence taken before the Coroner's jury, which rendered the following verdict Tha the said persons on the 22d day of July about 3 o'clock in the afternoon came to their death from a blast in the rock, near the breast of what is known as the Stone dam, about one mile from Huntingdon, being prematurely discharged, in the opinion of the jury from carelessly using iron rods and scrapers in tamping the blast instead of wooden rods and scrapers." Return of a South African Adventurer. Mr.

Gerald McKiernan, who at one time resided in Bedford connty, and who has for several years been lost to civilization in the interior of Africa, is in the city on a vist to his relatives. He is a cousin of Mr. Thomas McEiernan and of the wife of Mr. Aleck Vaughan. Mr.

McKiernan was engaged in hunting elephants and ostriches and trading with the natives in South Central Africa for four years past. He left New York in the spring of 1874 and went to Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, and thence into the African wilds, and iu a year afterward all trace of was lost by bis relatives here, who gave him np as dead until he arrived in Philadelphia last week and informed his relatives of the fact In March last, on coming out of the African wilderness to the Cape of Good Hope, Mr. McKiernan received a letter from Mrs. Vaughan which had been lying there for three years lacking one month. He has met with many strange and exciting adventures and he kept a diary during the greater part of his absence.

It has been almost a year since he made up bis mind to return and left the inte. rior. He came by way of England, and previous to reaching that country encountered many vexatious delays. Mr. McKiernan will remain in the city for some time.

Checks Dated la Advance An interesting question was decided iu a Philadelphia court in the case of Greer against the National Bank of the Republic. The facts of the case are as follows Horace P. Wilbur drew a check for $229 in favur of Greer in October, 1877, on the Bank of the Republic. The check was dated three days ahead, and before presented it Wilbur gave notice to the bank and stopped payment of it. When it was presented the bank refused to pay, although it had the funds sufficient to meet it.

Greer then brought suit against the bank to recover the amount of the check, claiming that it was liable to pay it. The Judge before whom the case was tried nonsuited the plaintiff, holding that there was no contract between the bank and Greer for the payment of the check, the only contract being with Wilbur, the drawer of the check, and that was to hold the amount subject to the order. The plaintiff insisted that the drawing of the check was an appropriation of so much of the money in the bans's hands to the person who held the check, but the Judge held that th; contract by the bank with the depositor to hold the money would prevent the plaintiff from recovery. Lost Packages on Railroad Cars. The lost package room at the leading points on the Pennsylvania railroad, in fact all prominent railroads, is a real curiosity shop.

There are careless, absent-minded and fussy people traveling at all seasons and everywhere, and in their obliviousness leave property more or less valuable behind them for honest officials to take care of or thieves to appropriate to their own nse. All articles lost on passenger trains or in depots are turned over to the Depot Master's office, who stores them to await the owner. Articles thus left in the seat or in the baskets in the passenger coaches are removed by the trainmen and turned over to the above officer. Frequently they are picked up by sly persons or outsiders, and are never heard of afterward, but when they fall into the hands of employes the owner may feel pretty certain of recovering his property. Umbrellas, hats, bonnets, paper packages, ribbons, fans, bird cages, coats, comprise the bulk of the lost articles very frequently pocket books, containing large and small sums of money, are thns frequently returned to the owners.

How to be Miserable and How Not to Re. The best recipe we know, if you want to be miserable, is to think about yourself, how much you have lost, how much you have not made, and the poor prospect for the future. A brave man with a soul in him gets out of such pitiful ruts and laughs at discouragements, rolls np his sleeves, whistles and sings, and makes the best of life. This earth was never intended for a paradise, and a man who rises above his discouragements and keeps his manhood will only be the stronger and better for his adversities. Many a noble ship has been saved by throwing overboard its most valuable cargo, and many a man is better and more humane after he has lost his gold.

The Tyrone Herald says there remains to this day the ruins of an ancient fortification about fourteen miles from Tyrone, near Mos- hannm creek, in Centre county.

The entire site covers about two acres of ground, a por tion of the outer walls, however, being en tirely demolished. What seems now to have been the interior of the vast masonry, con sists of a series of parapets, with embrasures running at various angles. The front of the parapets, and faces of the embrasures are still covered with some kind of durable plaster or cement. This cement facing is of a red color, about half an inch thick, and hard, almost, as flint. Where it is broken, the rock has crumbled away to the depth of several inches, and the top of the rocks is also worn away by time and the action of the elements, leaving the edges of the cement project like flanges set perpendicular to the plane of the rock.

The age of this old fortress is beyond all possibility of computation. The composition of the cement is not known, but the building material belongs to that clasB of rocks known among geologists as Mahoning sandstone. This formation, when fonnd in place, caps the coal measures of the Clearfield and Centre county region. At the time of its deposit, no human being existed on the face of the earth, nor until long periods thereafter. Large trees now stand oo the old masonry, and these are but the successors of other generations of trees that decayed many centuries ago.

A Father In Israel Has Fallen. Carl Lndwig Gern, a well known and esteemed citizen, died Tuesday morning at five minntes past 8 o'clock. He was born on the 3d of April, 1819, in Waldangettock, Baden, and came to this country about twenty-six years ago and settled with his wife in Hollidaysburg. During the civil war he fought for the Union. He served in the army nearly one year, when he was crippled.

Six years ago, on the 1st of April, he came to this city, where he kept a grocery store. He connected himself with the St James Evangelical Lutheran Church, and was elected as an elder in the church council, and that body chose him as the treasurer of the church, which offices he faithfully filled until his death. He was an orthodox Christian, true to his God and his church, and had no sympathy with infidelity, rationalism or scepticism of any kind. He leaves a wife, six children and three grandchildren to monrn their loss. His funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, from his late residence on the corner of Fourteenth and Ninth avenue.

The funeral services will be held at the above church by Rev. C. Jaekel. Proposition for a Fall Trotting Heeijng to Altoona, There is some canvassing about the city among admirers of horseflesh and trials of speed in reference to the feasibility of inaugurating a series of races to take place in this city some time during September. The idea is to have say a four-days' meeting, with premiums amounting to $2,500 or $3,000, the lists to be open to horses from all parts of the country.

The names of some prominent gentlemen have been mentioned as inclining favorably to the project, and in truth there is no reason why it should not succeed. The idea would be to devote the surplus proceeds to a fund for placing the fair grounds in first-class condition in the event which is probable of the State fair being held in this city in the fall of 1880. It has been suggested that a meeting of gentlemen to canvass the subject be held, and it is presumed that all that is necessary to put the ball in motion would be a call for such a meeting signed by two or three of the men who have been spoken of in this connection. Purchase of Dell Delight by the Agri cultural Society. The correspondent of the Tribune at Hol lidaysburg writes as follows in regard to the purchase of Dell Delight by the Blair County Agricultural Association "We have authority for saying that the Blair County Agricultural Association is making arrangements for the purchase of Dell Delight.

Five hundred dollars of the money is now on deposit in one of our banks. The association intends as soon as the transfer is made to improve and beautify the grounds. The first thing will be a good substantial fence and buildings, after which a fountain, flowers, and all other improvements will be put on necessary to make it the most attractive place in the county for picnics and all other public assemblages." Flowers. All lovers of flowers should remember that one blossom allowed to mature or go to seed injures the plant more than a dozen new buds. Cut your flowers, all of them, before they begin to fade.

Adorn your rooms with them; put them on your table; send bouquets to your friends who have no flowers, or exchange favors with those who. have.

AFTERNOON SESSION. The grand jury having acted with commendable promptness they had criminal business ready for trial at the opening of the afternoon session. Commonwealth vs. William Fanner. Indictment fornix.

Defendant pleaded guilty and received the usual sentence. Commonwealth vs. Mrs. Annie Walker. This defendant, as the readers of the Tribune will remember, is indicted on the novel charge of being a common scold or a nuisance.

Commonwealth's counsel brought evidence from the different parts of Altoona where Mrs. Walker resided to show that when she settled in a neighborhood she made things so lively that bouse renters invariable got rid of her at the earliest practicable moment, and no sooner would she get settled in a new location than she would begin to cut np her pranks and "raise Ned" generally among the neighbors. To prove a good character and an amiable disposition, the defense called a large number of witnesses, mostly females, some of whom had at one time or another been employed as domestics in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Walkei.

The last witness was Mrs. Walker herself, and she was allowed to proceed without interruption, as she, in a cool, self possessed manner, swore in flat contradiction of the witnesses of the other side, and spoke in the mildest language of her prosecutors. She certainly created a favorable impression on the audience by her excellent bearing as a witness. Her counsel in arguing to the jury claimed that this is really an action to eject the Walker family from the house they now occupy. Jury out at the close of this report.

Messrs S. M. Woodcock for Commonwealth; Edwin Shaw for defendant. Commonwealth vs. Joseph Markle.

indictment fornix. Defendant pleaded guilty and received the usual sentence. Commonwealth vs. James Thompson. Indictment fornication and bastardy and adultery.

The defendant is 74 years of age, the prosecutrix about 22. As the complaint was made but a few days ago a continuance was granted until next term. Commonwealth vs. Anna Young and Erne-line Young. Indictment assault and battery.

This action arose from a quarrel between the children of Mrs. Orr, the prosecutrix, and those of Mrs. Emeline Young. The parents happening to witness the children's fight interfered, when the engagement became general. On trial at the hour of adjournment.

Adjourned to 9 o'clock this morning. TUESDAY. The jury in the suit of the Commonwealth vs. Mrs. Walker found her not guilty of being a common scold and divided the costs be tween the prosecutor and defendant.

Sentenced accordingly. The trial of the Commonwealth vs. Annie and Emeline Young as it progressed developed the fact that it originated in a kind of miscellaneous fight among the children. The "battery" was not denied by the defendants, but they claimed that it was done in defense of the children when Mrs. Orr, the prosecutrix, inteifered with their pastime of quarreling.

The trial included considerable evidence bearing on the character of the suitors. Verdict guilty, and defendants were fined $1 and costs of prosecution. Landis for Commonwealth Herr for defendant. Augustus Coleman, Charles Nesbit and Dan. Singleton, three colored witnesses in the liquor cases who had failed to appear in conrt in answer to summonses, were brought into court on bench warrants, treated to a lecture by Judge Dean on their duty to attend when subpenaed, and directed to pay the costs of attachment and remain until they are wanted.

A white witness named East-wright was also sent for on a like errand, but be came np smiling and accounted for himself so promptly and satisfactorily that he was let off easy. Commonwealth vs. Laura Walton and Sarah Nesbit; Indictment assault and battery. Another suit in which certain dashing females must settle their "little mill" before a jury. A little daughter of Mr.

Allen, of Seventeenth street, Altoona, got herself into trouble with some members of the neighboring family of Mr. Nesbit, and it was charged that the little girl was badly beaten about the head and face by the girl Walton, instigated by Mrs. Nesbit, and the troubles between the two families finally culminated in this action. Verdict not guilty, and the prosecutrix to pay the costs. Flanigan for the Commonwealth; Dively for the defendants.

Commonwealth vs. Jacob Keckler. Indictmentlarceny. Mr. Schroyer, of Altoona, the prosecutor, claims to have made a conditional sale of his cow to Mr.

Keckler, but before the time came for delivering the cow she was missing, and a diligent search for her through the country was unsuccessful. He now comes into court with evidence to fix on Mr. Keckler the guilt of having stolen and killed his cow. That was the morning of the show iq Altoona last September, Mr. Keckler, in bis defense, asserted that he never denied killing the cow, and offered this iu proof that he acted in the honest belief that the cow was his by purchase.

Verdict guilty. Messrs. Tierney and Flanigan for Commonwealth; Dively for defendant. Commonwealth vs. Augustus Hockenberry and Elmer Kelly.

Indictment larceny and entering a house with intent. These two boys, on the 21st of this month, were found in the house-of Mr. Haggerty, of Logan town Tilt PI.4XE1S 1ST AUGUST.

Rafus Cameron, of this city, July 24th, announced that his father, Dr. Joseph Cameron, had expired at his residence in Washington, D. C. at 9 o'clock P. M.

Dr. Cameron was a near relative of Hon Simon Cameron, ex-Uuiied States Senator. He resided in this city and Blair county for many years, and about two years ago removed to Washington. The deceased was well ad vanced in years. Dr.

Joseph W. Cameron, a full cousin of Hon. Simon Cameron, was born in the year 1813. He practiced for many years in Sinking and Scotch valleys and the adjacent country, meeting with a commendable degree of success. When well op in years he made Altoona the centre of his operations, where he remained until some two years ago, when he accepted a position in the War Department at Washington, D.

C. Dr. Cameron was a genial, scholarly gentleman, much after the old school, and by his medical friends was regarded as one of the foremost practitioners of his day. We can only add that no one knew not to respect and love him, and that hosts of friends in this community will pause to drop a generous and regretful tear over his grave. Picnic of the Printers at Cresson.

The Transportation Committee of the Juniata Valley Editors and Printers' Association met in this city on Saturday morning.

Mc-Pike, of the Cambria Freeman; N. C. Barclay, of the Sun, and H. C. Dern, of the Tribune.

Dr. Ross' "Klght-blooraintc Cerens That curious plant which once every year gives birth to a rarely beautiful flower called "night-blooming cereus" was Tuesday evening the attraction to nnmbers of visitors at the residence of Dr. S. on Twelfth avenue, above Twelfth street. Just one year ago last night at a little later hour in the evening, however the vine like plant bore a flower.

The petals begin to close about 2 o'clock in the morning, and by daylight scarcely a sign of the handsome and fragrant flower can be seen. Dr. Ross' intention is to preserve this specimen if possible, and for that purpose he had procured a glass jar filled with water and alcohol (one fourth alcohol) wjih a wire support for the flower, iu which he proposed to drop it as soon as the visitors had ceased their calls of admiration. An Unfortunate JLittle Boy, A lad named Dively, 12 years old, son of William Dively, who resides near the corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street, while playing Thursday in the second story of a building that is in process of erec ion in that locality fell to the first floor, a of about sixteen feet. The boy fell between the joists aud struck a board.

Fortunately no bones were broken, but he was pretty severely bruised on his right, leg and arm. Dr. Walter Bell was called and dressed the little fellow's injuries. The boy has met with several mis fortunes during his brief lifetime, having had an accident last fall that dislocated an elbow. Besides this be hue been crippled in his left leg since he was a small child.

Another irnmp Killed. Wednesday morning as the Pacific express was approaching Anderson station the engineer observed a man standing on west-bound track watching a passing freight train. He signaled to the man his dangerous situation, but he seemed deaf to the unearthly -screams of the whistle. The pilot of the engine struck him, knocking him up over the engine. The train was immediately stopped and put back.

The man was found to be dead. The top of his bead was crushed and his chin badly cut. His remains were taken aboard and brought to McVeytown, where an inquest was held. The accident occurred about half a mile east of Anderson. Stable Struck by Lightning.

The Standard says that on Wednesday evening last the stable of Dennison, Porter at Bennington, was struck by lightning. It canght fire, but the flames were promptly extinguished. Only three mules were in the stable at the time it was struck, the others, some thirteen in number, having been taken ont to be shod. The animals in the bnilding were not injured, though the stable boss, James Ballantyne, was knocked senseless and was found in that condition by the persons who ran to the stable when they saw the smoke issuing from the roof. He has recovered, however, and is none the worse for his electric bath.

Another Concentrated Lye Accident. At 11 o'clock Wednesday morning Willie Ray O'Brien, son of William O'Brien, residing on Eleventh avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets, was severely burned by coming in contact with a box of concentrated lye. He was playing in the yard, and afterward wandered into a neighbor's house, where he found the ugly and dangerous stuff. Smearing his hands with the mess he robbed it over his mouth and eyes, which, with bis hands, were badly burned. Fortunately he took none of it inwardly.

Dr. Ross was summoned and administered such remedies calculated to relieve the suffering of the little fellow. Aliooka. July 30, Wtotaale. 1879.
