A REMARKABLE OCCURENCE. An individual living at Joetsville, on the Broad Top Railroad, this county, went out hunting a week or two ago, and while perambulating the mountains, fell and fractured his leg.

The weather was severe, and the prospect of freezing presented itself most vividly. 'The unfortunate man was alone, far from home, with no sympathizing creature to assist or even to commiserate with him in his sad condition. Seized by a fit of desperation, and finding his pockets well supplied with small nails, he determined upon the horrible experiment of nailing his foot to his boot and his boot to his leg; to resolve was to execute, and in this condition he crippled home. We received these facts from Mr. Trimbath, a neighbor of the unfortunate man, for whose credibility we will vouch.

At the latest accounts the individual was doing very well. Bedford Inquirer. A HORRIBLE Nashville Banner of the 8th records the fol- lowing: The freight train which arrived last e- vening from Chatanooga was minus one of its brakeman, a young man named W. Evans, who was killed near Whitesides, by part of a train running over him, The conductor of the train, Mr. Lovering, did not miss Evans until fully twenty miles from the scene of the casuality, when he telegraphed from Bridgeport to the operator at Whitesides to learn the whereabouts and fate of the missing brakeman.

The operator telegraphed back that Evans was found dead on the track near Whitesides, with both his legs completely severed from his body, and bis person otherwise horribly mangled. The deceased was a young man, but where belonging to we did not ascertrin. NARROW ESCAPE OF JUDGE BREWSTER. I -Judge F. Carrol Brewster of phia was holding a Court of Common Pleas, Dec.

10, he met with an almost miraculous escape from sudden death by accident. The Judge was sitting upon a high backed strongly built mahogany chair listening to the arguments in a case in e- quity, when one of the officers of the court stepped up to impart some information. As Judge B. leaned forward to listen to the officer, an immense circular iron ventilator fell from the lotty ceiling above, without the slightest premonitory warning, crushing the back of the chair into fragments. Except for the momentary change of position, the weight would have fallen upon the head of the Judge crushing it as it did the Travellers Reccord.

Unusual ACCIDENTS. man in Bellevue, Iowa, in climbing down from a tree was hung by his comforter catching on a limb as he attempted to leap to the ground. When found he was dead. During a ball at Farmington, at a German wedding, a man broke through the floor of the temporary dancing hall, fell into a well, and was drowned. A lady in Mansfield, Ohio, was attacked and nearly killed, by a vicious hog.

Not the first lady who has suffered from a brute. The Rutland (Vt.) Herald states that Mr. George Fisher, while at work in the woods on Shaftsbury mountain, Dec. 6, was attacked by a panther. He seized his rifle and tired, but only wounded the animal slightly.

It immediately sprang upon him, tearing and wounding him so that he died the next day. None of these persons were insured. NEGLECT OF THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY RAILROAD COMPANY.More than one week ago, positive arrangements were made with the Managers of the Cumberland Valley railroad to transport the regular troops and band stationed at the Carlisle Barricks, to this city, for the purpose of taking part in the Inauguration. This morning Gen. Grier was at Carlisle Depot with his troops, waiting for the train; but when it arrived no cars had been provided for his troops, nor was there sufficient room to accommodate the regular passengers on the train.

In consequence of this shameful neglect, many citizens and all the troops were compelled to return to their homes and deprived of the pleasure to witness the inauguration of Gov. Geary. This road is the only one that refused to issue excursion tickets for the occasion, and neglected to provide room for regular passengers. The Pennsylvania railroad owns the majority of the stock, and it is company time that they should take the management of the road into their hands, so that the public may be Telegraph. lady's breastpin.

OUR LEISURE the first time in the history of this Commonwealth, the Leisure Hour was in Earrisburg on Inauguration day, and, to the grief of the nation it must be confessed, that it is expected to be the last time he will ever honor an occasion. of this kind with his presence.

State politics have been in a state of ment for weeks past, and the exciter culminated on Tuesday last in the election of Simon Cameron, United States 'Senator for the ensuing term of six years. Charges of bribery and corruption v.

ere openly made, and with how much truth, we not pretend to determine. 'We have nothing to say, favorably or w'afavorably, reference to the selection of a Senator which our Legislature, has made, nor areans used for the accomplishment of end attained. With the issues that divide the parties, we bave, as a journalist, ing to do. Against the spirit that mates nearly all our public men, however, we may and do protest. Sincere patriotism is at a lamentable discount, and selfish aggrandizement and pleasure, lead tenths of' our dignitaries whithersoever they will.

Many of our Legislators other public functionaries are utterly reckless of character or reputation, and gle in every species of debauch with shameless ostentation. Two of our State Legislators went to Goldsboro this week, we have learned on good authority, to ness a prize fight, while the Sheriff York county was making vain efforts discover and arrest the parties in this rage upon civilization. Pure patriotism! It seems to have passed from amongst if we are to estimate it from its developements in our public men. When is to cease? Are we to go on forever electing men to office who are seeking political preferment simply as a means of self gratification Are mea who really deserve and would adorn our public offices, to left in perpetual retirement, simply a sense of genuine modesty forbids them to thrust themselves forward as didates for public favor? Shame upon for such miserable, indolent cowardice! Let us, in the name of common decency, in obedience to the demands of our self respect, resolve that this state of things shall be no longer. Let us determine that at length we will set the offices to seeking men and thwart the plans of the chardatans who are forever seeking offices.

"There can be no time better than the present for the entire demolition of old party lines, and when new ones are established, let the distinction between the parties this; that one party shall be led by political tricksters who are forever hunting offices, while the other" shall throw all such overboard, and devote its energies to finding modest, worthy men to fill all places profit and trust. Does not this seem a sirable, a reasonable state or' affairs? :50, what but our own indolence and faithlessness makes it impracticable We it, and if we do not, it is not to be charged upon the impossibility of circumstances, but upon the inefficiency of a people who have always boasted of being able to govern themselves.

Rich Scene in a Dental OfficeA Chase After a Female who Runs off with a Set of Teeth. On Saturday last, a full specimen of the feminine sex called at the office of Dr. Payne's steam dental works and had a set of teeth made. After the masticators were adjusted to her mouth, the lady prepared to leave, and stated that she would call in the course of a week and settle the bill, but the doctor did not see it in that light and demanded the greenbacks. The fair one declared that she had no money, but promised that if she would be allowed to take the teeth home, she would return in a few hours and bring the money; but on being required to leave the teeth till she returned with the cash, she made a dash for the door, and went down the stairs in two jumps.

Mr. George Arnold, the doctor's assistthe ant, agreeable, and ready wait on the is always in the office playing ladies, displayed his gallantry on this occasion by making the next best time stairs in pursuit of the fugitive. At the front entrance her tilters caught on em- the door, and here George overtook and braced her in a very affectionate manner. Dr. P.

called to him not to hug her so hard, but suggested that he had better tain the assistance of a star. On being released, the fair damsel went down Olive to Fourth, and down Fourth with the speed of an antelope, George putting in hie best licks close at her heels, bare-headed. The flight continued to Myrtle street, where the masculine sex prevailed- -the female to surrendershelled out the money, and George returned out of breath, having eclipsed the fastest time ever made at the Laclede races. -Missouri Democrat, 11th.
