Serious Accident.
Atone o'clock to-day E. Gross, a
boy of sixteen years, son of G. Gross,
who lived in the house near the iron
bridge, while working in the bark mill
at Osterhout's tannery was drawn
into the chains connected with
the machinery which tore the ilesh al
most entirely off from the back por
tion of his right leg from the knee
down. He was otherwise injured. He
was taken to Dr. Williams' office, and
Dr. Waid and Woodruff called in. In
response to a telegram Doctor Hart
man, of St. Marys, came down on the
mail. On a consultation of tlie phy
sicians it was found necessary to am
putate the leg just above the knee.
This is a peculiarly deplorable case as
the parents of the boy are poor people
and depending on the boy's help to
support the family. Now the labor of
the boy is lost besides the expense at
tendant on the sad accident.
Sneak Thief Captured.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning, W.
H. Schiani, proprietor of the Hyde
House, this place, was awakened by
his wife with theinformation that some
one was in the room. Mr. Schrum
at once arose and followed the thief
who had left the room and endeavored
to go down stairs. The thief was
mistaken in his locution of the sur
roundings, anil instead of going down
stairs he ran into another room where
some girls were sleeping. Mr. Schrum
grasped him by the throat and threw
liini into the room li'.- had just left,
and, gripping a larc Iron stove poker,
stood jiiiurd over the prisoner until
Mrs. Nchrani awoke the bar lender,
and other men about tlie house who at
once took the thief into custody and
landed him safely in juii. There was
about $14 in silver quarter in Mr.
Sehram'M pants' pockets. This the
thief succeeded ill getting with the
exception of lour quarters. He had
left the outside loor open, nU boots at
the foot of the stuirs, and iiis coat just
outside the door, so ihat his plan for
retreat was n good one, but failed a
we have noted by his taking a wrong
direction. In his vot pocket v. us
found u eood supply of provisions
which showed that he hud been huv
ing something to eat before he com
menced to look for money.

My wife was at the brink of the

The following complimentary
notice of our old friend Harry Head
we copy from the Beaver Radical and
Argus, which is published at Beaver,
Beaver Co., Pa.:
A Bucksome Present. On Tues
day of last week, our friend, Col. Dick
Walton, of Industry, received from his
friend Harry Head, of Ridgway, Elk
county, Pa., a fine deer which weighed
140 pounds. The colonel sampled the
venison himself and pronounced it ex
cellent. He sent some to his brother-in-law,
Peter Rising, of Brighton town
ship, the oldest deer hunter in this
county, to remind him of happy days
long gone. He also sent Mrs. Curtis,
the writer's sick wife, a generous slice
of a saddle, with kind wishes that she
might relish it and soon be restored to
health, for all of which he has their
sincere thanks.
Very sensible: President Arthur
is credited with saying to a friend re
cently, who urged the proscription of
Independents: "I differ with you.
My idea is that this is tlie proper time
to reorganize the party. It is the duty
of every Republican to exert himself
to that end. So far as the adminis
tration is concerned, I shall in future
recognize neither Stalwart nor Half
breed as such, but shape my policy to
suit the party generally instead of the
factions, according to their hopes or
desires."
It is disreputable to gamble at
cards or on a "wheel of fortune'' or a
game of thimble-rig. Hitherto it has
been considered reputable to gamble
by betting on the price of oil or grain
or stocks. Can it much longer remain
so, in view of the hundreds of moral
wrecks that are being made by these
practices? Who can define the moral
diflerence between gambling at faro or
poker in a "hell" and at oil or grain in
a "bucket." Buffalo Express.

In consequence of the striking of
the Reno and Grandin wells the in
terest in Garfield City in again reviv
ing. Garfield is only six miles distant
from either well, and instead of Tun
ing the risk of building up a new
house near those wells, it is believed
that Garfield will derive the benefit
of this travel and trade and get a new
lease of life and activity. The owners
of the Warren & Farnsworth Valley
railroad will probably find it to their
interest to extend the narrow-gauge
road from Garfield directly south
about five miles, which will bring
them just midway between tho Reno
and Grandin wells, and near enough
to either for all practical purposes.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.
More neonle have read The Sun
during the year just now passing than
ever uetore since it was nrst printed.
No other newspaper published on this
side of the earth, has been bought and
read in any year by so many men and
women.
We are credibly informed that
people buy, read, and like The Sun
for the following reasons, among
others:
Because its news columns nresent
in attractive form nnd with the great
est possible accuracy whatever bus in
terest for humankind; the events, the
deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom, the
philosophy, the notable folly, the solid
sense, the improving nonsense all
tne news of tne busiest world at
present revolving in space.
Because people nave learned that in
its remarks concerning persons and af
fairs The Sun makes a practice of tell
ing them the exact truth to the best of
its ability three hundred and sixty
five days in the year, before election
as after, about tlie whales as well as
about the small fish, in the face of dis
sent as plainly and fearlessly as when
supported by general approval. The
nun uas absolutely no purposes to
serve, save the information of its
readers and tlie furtherance of the
common good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper.
No man is so humble that Tho Sun is
indillerent to his welfare and his
rights. No man Is so rich that it can
allow injustice to be done him. No
man, no association ot men, is power
ful enough to exempt from the strict
application of its principles of right
and wrong.
Because in nolitics it has fouirht for
a dozen years, without intermission
and sometimes almost alono among
newspapers, tne hglit that has resulted
in tlie recent overwhelming popular
verdict against Robesonism and for
honest government. No mutter what
party is in power, The Sun stands and
will continue to stand like a rock for
the interests of the people against the
ambition of bosses, the encroachments
of monopolists, and the dishonest
schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost
daily by our friends. One man holds
that The Sun is tlie best religious
newspaper ever published, because its
Christianity is undiluted with cant.
Another holds that it is the best Re
publican newspaper printed, because
it has already whiuned half of the
rascals out of that nartv. and Is nro-
ceediug against the other half with
undiminished vigor. A third believes
it to be the best magazine of general
literature in existence, because its
readers miss nothing worthy of notice
that is current in tlie world of thought.
So every friend of The Sun discovers
one ot its niauy sides that appeals
with particular force to his individual
liking.
It you already know The Sun. von
will observe that 188-3 it is a little bet
ter than ever before. If vou do not
aireauy Know i lie hun, you will nnd
it to be a mirror of all human nctivltv.
a storehouse of the choicest products
of commoii sense and imagimition, a
mainstay tor the cause of honest gov
ernment, a senlinel for genuine Jef-
tcrsonian Democracy, a scouiuge for
wickedness of
uncommonly good investment for the
coming vear.
