John Strong, of Cherryhill township, had lour head of-cattle killed by lightning on the 25th of July, loss The new meat shop in the West End is steadily gaining custom. Fine meat, a clean shop and an obliging attendant is what causes it. Some of the large wholesale houses have dismissed their "drummers." and taken to advertising instead, and they say it is a profitable change.

Pittsburg is suffering from a brick famine, and many buildings are now at a standstill on account of being unable to get bricks at any price. S. A.

During the storm, Monday, July 25th, a little son of Solomon Brown, near Deckers Point was killed by lightning, while playing under an apple tree near the house. John Slusser, a young man of Kittanning, remained under water a few days since three minutes and fifty-three seconds and claims he can stay under five minutes.

Kittanning Point, on the P. E. is-the haunt of a catamount, and two young men encountered the varmint one night last week. They did not wait to interview it. Frank Chambers, proprietor of the Marion Woolen Mills, has just had seven barrels of the Westmoreland county lubricating oil shipped to him for use in his factory- The Irwin Station Glee Club are likely to receiye the $200 reward for discovering the new comet, they having discovered it some two hours earlier than any one yet heard from.

Greensburg barbers spy on each other to detect any shaving on Sunday. One of them made information against another last week and. had him arrested on the above charge. Our merchants are new jotting down the long and unpronounceable names of new and stylish dress goods for ladies, which will make their first appearance in our markets this fall. Delos Hetrick has the stone on the ground and a foundation excavated for a stable of large proportions on the rear of the lot purchased by him from the Misses Coulter.

Charles Peterson, who was a drummer- boy under Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo, died in Bellefonte, a few days since. His life was insured by different parties to the amount of $40,000. At Nebrasba, Forest county, last week the largest timber ever sawed in that county was put out at Collins' mill, for bridges on the A. V. E.

Tom Lowman, for beating his horse, while driving about town on Saturday evening last, was escorted to the "cooler" by the borough police, where he languished until Monday morning. The Court House yard is a fine shady place, and the pitching of horse shoes or quoits is indulged in to a considerable extent by some of bur county officials and numerous others who love the sport. Summer travel along the line of all the railroads in Pennsylvania is becoming very to the attractions of the natural scenery through which they pass and health of the country traversed.

Admission, adults, 15 boys, 10; ladies free.

Turn and see the game. A number of persons in this place have been seriously ill during the past two weeks from violent attacks of cramps, brought on by eating too heartily of green vegetables. The services of a physician were required in several cases, which were of a most violent character. George McCoy, a resident of Blairsville, who was supposed to have been stealing a ride on a freight, had his legs badly crushed on Wednesday evening of week before last between two cars at Torrens Station. He was removed to the West Penn Hospital at Greensburg Argus.

We learn that Alex. T. Taylor, of this place, is putting an iron roof on the mill of John McAdoo of West Lebanon, this week. As the old roof has been on fire several times from burning soot the firm concluded they would make it safe in the future by the above means. A wise move.

From reliable sources we learn that the coming picnic of the Juniata Valley Printers' Association will be composed of printers. Last year it was composed of a somewhat promiscuous crowd, and some parties behaved in anything but a proper manner. We are pleased to note the change for the better. Mrs. Eobert Elder, of Elder's Eidge, fell down stairs a few days since and sus-: Gained very severe injuries, both shoulders being dislocated and several 'bones broken.

Dr. Larimer, of West Lebanon, was called and through his prompt and skillful ministrations the lady is now in a fair way to recover. Oakland cemetery is now beautiful with its shrubbery and many colored flowers and the visitors thereto are numerous. Mr. 1 Loughry has been busily employed ever since spring opened, and his work is visible to any one who may visit this beautiful city of the dead, which now contains over one thousand graves.

Mr. Jacob Allshouse, of South Bend township, Armstrong county, one day last week took his wife to Dixmont for treatment. She has been somewhat demented for quite a while, and as she was gradually growing worse, the family feared if-not placed under restraint she might "do her- self.or some other person an injury. The boys who took a ride in Steve Jones' buggy while that gentleman was attending the singing at West Lebanon, paid him a small fee and settled the costs, in order to save themselves further trouble. The next time they feel like taking a ride they will doubtless have an understanding as to how much it will cost before they start.

little son of Mr. James Stewart, of this place, two or three weeks since went on a visit to his uncle, Wm. W. Hamilton, of South Mahoning township. Some ten days since he was attacked with diphtheria in a bad form.

Dr. C. McCune was sent for and under his vigorous treatment the little fellow has about recovered. Every one who took part in the late excursion to the battlefield of Gettysburg seems to have been well pleased with their trip. Nearly, all brought home with them relics of some kind, some travelling eighteen and twenty miles in their search, and discovering something in the shape of missiles.of war at nearly every noted point on the immense battle ground.

On of last week the Shaw House, of Clearfield, together with a frame was burned to the ground. The attachees of Old John Robinson's Circus; who were spending Sunday there, turned out in a body and did noble work, and as a consequence the citi- Qnr reporter, in his- travels a few days found, Mr. John Learn, of Green township, busily engaged "in the harvest field!

But we must be true to our instincts of humanity and our suffering friends to use'St. Jacob's Oil, and surprise your rheumatism and yourself at the result. Harvey, of Chicago, says I would be recreant to my duty to those afflicted, did I not raise my voice in its Louis Chronicle. Owing to the unfinished condition of the repairs now being made on the Baptist church, the services for next Sabbath are postponed until Sabbath, Aug. 14th.

The pastor, who is now at home, will preach and the communion will be administered at that time. The regular business meeting of the church will be held on Saturday Aug. 13th; at 2 o'clock p. M. We actually think it time that some of the rubbish adorning (1) our streets was removed.

A large amount lies in close proximity to the weigh scales. Many of our-citizens received very strict orders from our street Commissioner this 'spring in regard to throwing coal ashes in the alleys. Which looks the small pile ot coal ashes or a mixed pile of stone, timber and iron. Oliver A. H.

Calhoun', of West Lebanon, have completed their first contract on Crete church" and filled the bill in such good shape that the congregation concluded new windows would improve the appearance of the church, and accordingly entered into another contract with these gentlemen to that effect. Quite likely when these repairs have been made the church will be painted in a thorough manner. Oa Saturday last two men, George Nelson, a land broker, and Dr. South, a were arrested in'ipittsburg shortly after having negotiated $6,000 worth of stolen bonds, the property of W. Connors, of Catfish, Clarion county.

Our readers will remember of this robbery, which took place last March, when Connors and bis wife were burned to force them to confess where their bonds and money were hidden. During the month of May there was weighed upon the scales of the borough 47 loads of hay, in the month of June 40 and in July 57, most in the latter 1 month being new hay. When one takes'fn'io consideration the coal and other articles passing over the scales, it can be seen that Mr. Laney has a position which calls for a reasonable amount of labor and study, and is a source of considerable revenue to the borough. On Thursday morning last at the hour sunrise, the bark of one dog of this place died out to be heard no more.

He was a sheep not a shepherd Peter Harrold was the slayer of the poor misguided sheep-killing cur. Whether he died by rope, by bullet or beatea to death with a club, we have not learned; but he, is dead, the dog population is decreased by one, and no one mourns the sud- dentaking off of the cur. Cnley McCullougb are now operating with their feather renovator in the vicinity of Plumville. These gentlemen have cleaned thousands of pounds of feathers in the vicinity of Saltsburg, Blairsville, Jacksonville, this place and many other places, arid they have won the highest praise wherever they have been for the perfect manner in which they did their, work. We commend them as gentlemen who will perform all they promise.

On Monday evening last this place was visited by the most terrific thunder storm of the season. The lightning was and almost incessant, and accompanied by terrible peals of. thunder. During the prevalence of the storm the ice blouse and a tree in the yard of the old Judge White property, on Philadelphia sfteet. were' Arrested 1'or Xarceny.

Last evening Prof. A. Girod, of East Conemaugh, was brought on to this place from Marietta, Lancaster county, on a charge of larceny, which was preferred before 'Squire Fisher, recently, by Captain S. P. Morrell, commanding: officer of the City Guard.

The allegation is that some time in February last the accused stole from the armory of the organization, on Main an overcoat, a suit of clothing, and a drum. After his disappearance with these articles he was traced to several places east of Johnstown, but managed to elude arrest up until Monday last, when a constable in Marietta, who had been notified by Chief Harris, took charge of him shortly after his arrival there. Mr. Girod concluded to waive a hearing in the matter, and was returned to the Johnstown lock-up to await transportation to the county jail this evening, in case bail is not forthcoming before train time. The Professor has been travelling the downward path for some months past, while the value of the goods stolen does not amount to over fifty dollars, the chances are that he will be compelled to serve a term in prison.

He states that the uniform and drum were left at a certain place in Altoona, but it is thought that he pawned them'for a small sum of money, All the facts will be brought to light when his trial comes off at September Johnstown Tribune. zens are loud in their praise.

During the storm on Friday last at Oli- Armstrong county, a tree was bl6wn out of Toot, and in falling came within about four feet of crushing through the new IT P. church.

Messrs! Diven 'Sharp, the contractors, together with -their workmen, were all in the building at the time, and although none were all were frightened at their narrow escape. Threats are being indulged in by many of our citizens that they will yet be compelled to make an example of some of the 'boys'who are raiding orchards in this place, uncommonly, bold in their operations. The law in this case is very severe, some of tbe boys get in to-its clutches they will learn' a lesson which be beneficial to them. Quite a. large meeting was held at Eidge on the 30th which was largely attended by the farmers of that section'having co'al lands for sale, to ascer- jkain whetherT.

W. Jenks, of Punksutaw- ney, or John Stewart, of Saltsburg, should be empowered to dispose of said land for them.

Trees were shattered! a't different points, but, so far as we can learn no lives were lest. On Thursday last the Magentas this place took the train for Latrobe, to play a match game of base ball with the club of that place. On arriving there it.was'found that two professional playersi'-from, Pittsburg were on hand to play in the nine against the Magentas. 'The Magentas have nothing in their the shape of "guys," and refused to sanction such an act of bad faith on the "part of the Latrobe nine, by playing them.

A dispatch sent to the "Guffeyis" of Greensburg' that they would be down- on the train play them the return game.

Mame Gamble, who bears more aliases than some of the most notod pickpockets, was arrested on Saturday eyening last by constable John Books, on a charge of as saull and 'battery with -intent to kill, preferred against her by Mrs. Cunningham, of Latrobe. The famous Moll struck the complainant the head with a shoemaker's hammer, and. the wound it is said is a serious one. On Moaday evening Constable Soxman, of Latrobe, departed with her for that place, and before leaving our jail adorned wrists with a pair of fine steel bracelets, remarking that her reputation warranted him in taking such precautions in order to insure her arrival al her destination.

Douglass Palmer, for, whom a warrant was issued on a charge of assault and battery, after resisting an who made an attempt "to 1 arrest' him on Saturday night, made his appearunce at the jail on Monday evening and surrendered "himself. He is now serving out a sentence, of twenty days, at the expiration of which he will be transferred to Latrobe, where we hope he will receive the full benefit of the law. John Crissman, a young villian who had been liberated from the county jail after serving a sentence of thirty days for. larceny, called on Friday evening last at the residence of Mr. J.
