This magazine is so well known throughout the country, as the beet of the monthly periodicals, and Is such a great favorite with the ladies, that we need say nothing In Its praise.

Dunbar, of tlii county, who has long been a popular conductor on the Pcnnxylvnnia ltnilroacl, lias been appointed depot master at Ilarruiburg. On Tlilirstluy evening last, there was a remarkably flue display of the Northern lights. Many persons in this vicinity mistook it for a rellection from the fires on the mountains.

XA Rumor was in circulation last week that the small pox had made its appearance in Duncannon. From a reliable source we lcara there is no truth in tho report and we think as yet there lias not beon a singlo case in the county. Flno Corn.

It is published by DuPuy Brother, 80S Broadway, N. at $1.50 per year.

Hon. D. F. Juiikln has received his commission as President Judge of the 0th Judicial District for ten years, from the first Monday in December noxt. His first court will commence that day in Juniata county.

The January terra of court in this county, will probably be held by Judge Bucher, an exchange having been made to enable both of the newly elected judges to complete their unfinished business. Small Pox. The Nowville, Cumberland Stab says: Wa mentioned lust week that very exaggerated reports were afloat in reference to the small pox in our town. The facts are substantially as follows About tho last week of September, Mr. Albert Brickor, who has resided for several years in llarrluburg, was taken sick his mother went down to nurse him the phy.

sicians there called his disease Remittent fever. His mother finding him not too ill to remove, brought him home, where she could nurse him in a more motherly way than in the fourth story of his boarding house. His physician here pronounced his case a simple fovcr of a mild type. Ho convalesced rapidly, and in eight or ton days was up and' around. Iu a few days after this his two sisters were taken with a fever which in both cases soon developed small pox.

Now for the first time tho true nature of tho brother's disease was manifest, it was varioloid, but of so mild a character that in 'tho absence of pustules it hud not been suspected. The cider sister, Mrs. Itamiull, died Ellie, the younger, never having been vaccinated, has had a regular course of coniluciit small pox of the severest kind, but the passed through it safely, and is now rapidly convalescing, and is able to sit up nearly all tho time. During her illness, her younger brother, Bricker, had an attack of varioloid, but of a type so mild, that he was not obliged at any time to take his bed, and is mound again as usual. Somewhere about tho llret week of Oc- ober.

Mrs. W. II. Wheeler, of llarrisburg, camo on a visit to ber friends, bringing her two little children wlthher, and stopped at tho houso of her, brother-in-law, Mrv John Wheelor. A few days after her arrival, her children wore'takori with the small pox, and both died.

Shortly after this, John Wheeler, at whoso houso these children sickened and died, was taken with small pox, and on Sabbath last died. This is tho story thus There has been seven cases, and four of these died. The disease has been confined to these two families, and without any connoxion one with the other. It has shown no disposition to spread, and as vaccination has been very generally attended to, it is not unreasonable to hope thnt wo will have no more of it. An Old Lady Burned to Booth.

Tho Bedford rreti says: Our neighborhood was tho scene of another sad accident on last Thursday. Gcorgo and Haunah LoDg, an agod couple resided in a small house near tho Juniata Crossing. On tho day above mentioned the old gentleman wont to Mr. Mergraw's to work, leaving tho old lady at homo alone. Somo time during tho day, a largo cloud of smoko was observed rising in the direction of the house.

A party of tho neighbors repaired to tho spot, to find tho domicil in ruins. Search was made for its occupant and her charred remains were found among tho asliCH. The fire originated from the stove pipe which passed through the roof, and the building and its entire contents were consumed. Mrs. Long was about 07 years of age, and it is supposed that in hor on-doavors to save some of their effects, was suffocated by the smoke, and was thus rendered unablo to cscapo.

Poisoned. On tho evening of the Sud the family of Mr. Jesse K. Shrincr, residing about a mile from Mcchanlcsburg, were seriously poisoned whilo eating supper. For a time, the family seemed to bo in great danger, and Dr.

Mr. Editor I have a plat of Strawberries about 8 feet square that is in its second bearing this season. It produced a fine crop of lerrics in the proper season, but during tho early part of summer tho plat became shaded by some grape vines, and the strawberries liccame almost smothered out. I removed tho grape vines in August and the Strawberry plants began to put forth now leaves, and blossoms wore soon seen on the plants. By the middlo of Scptombcr thero wore some ripo berries, and somo fine blossoms the plat has been blooming constantly for the last two months and thero aro still some fine berries and blossoms to bo seen on the plants on this, tho 0th day of November.
