Just try it. BOY INSTANTLY KiLLed,—We lekrn that last Thursday a nine year old son of Mr. ZachariahGaler, of Cherry Run, Hartley twp., this county Was} instant ly killed under the following |circum stances. A team belonging to Wm.E. Smith & Co. was hauling bark. In going down a small hill the lock was put on the wagon. At ithis time the boy attempted to get on the wagon, when the lock being taken off at the foot of the bill gave the wagon fresh impetus, which caused the boy to lose his hold and fall under the wagon. The wheel ran over his head, smashing it and killing him lust&ntly. The boy was an unusually bright lad, and the loss is a heavy blow to the parents.— LewisVwtg Journal. THE HARVEST HOME PICNIC.— At Spring Mills last Thursday was a "grand succecs" as far as numbeis are concerned, but the several committees, both local and general, have very just ly subjected themselves to the severest censure ¥cr having ctiosen such an ex tremely disagreeable day. They could not have done much worse in this par ticular, as it rained nearly all forenoon and drizzled nearly all afternoon. The state of the weather entirely |forbade all enjoyment in the woods, excepting that the dancers had a "good time of it," ail the rain to the contrary not withstanding. Neither did those who habitually practice at the bar allow the state of the \yealiiet to interfere with their exercises in the least. Many of this latter class were in excellent spir its throughout. The more slaiA anA steady part of the big excursion remain ed in the cars and ate their refresh ments in true philosophic humor. The excursion train from Lewisburg consisted of thirty-two cars in three sections, and all these were well filled,, carrying nearly 1800 people. The local turn out was also very good under the circumstances, especially in the after iioon. The committees and citizens Spring My Is did all in their, power to make their visitors from Union county as comfortable as any body can reason ably hope to be on a railro ad train on such a rainy day. The railroad officials accompanied the excursion and were well pleiased with the trip. —Harvey jponfer's house is approach ing completion.- —The Lcwisburg Chronicle of last week gives "A True Fish {Story" which puts our faith to its utmost tension; but we icittljelieve it, brother C. just as a special favor to you.

He merely rowed his boat to and fro, on the river some two miles below Lewisburg and the iish jumped into it of their own free will and accord. BELLEFONTE ITEMS.

News Miscellany. A Lunatic Kept Chained for fcwenty- Seven Tears by Ills Brother In Berks County—Particulars of the Horrible Case. RBADINO, Augu*t23.—A great sensation has been caused throughout Berks county by the discovery of Benjamin Sechler, a lunatic, who has been confined in a house in Albany town ship by his brother, Jacob Sechler, for seven years. The Insane man was kept by Ja cob Sechler, a highly respected citizen of Al bany township, in a small house purposely con structed for him. It has alow basement for heating purposes, the heat ascending to the room above tlirough the crevices .. of the floor no doubt a very insuificieut as well %s danger ous and troublesome means of heating. The room proper, or the apartment assigned to the lunatic, Is about eight feet square, boarded op the inside with .a board ceiliug about eight feet high. The only means of ventilation is one ijmali v.-induw containing four Bxlo inch panes. The room presented anything but a proper place for the existence of a human being. The walls were decorated with cobwebs and filth, the door strewn w£th straw and manure, and tfle door which is opposite the window and minus a small alj hole .was bolted on the out side with a heavy stick of wood. Near the centre of tlia room was a chain about three feet long, op,e jend of which was fastened to the floor and the end to one of the legs of the nude ipaniac. in this state he .had. beeh kept for twenty-seven years, during which time he was neither washed,, combed or shaved. His beard reached to a little above the waist and J bis hair was one thick, bushv mass, which had uot been combed foi ail these years. The liiu atlohad fov hi* brl only bmidlo of straw. Twenty - •wen yearn ngo he entered a hale, vljr oniu'i nr. celebrated for bin a underfill atrength fusion that account no one ventured to oonie In contact with hlin. lunatic was brought to Heading ejadJu * wofnnn's jettUoat and a Jacket.

Ills disposition tbo 1h already milder, and It Is believed that Ids pronlnea* to anger will be dlminteiied. The oliahi by which he was fnsteued all these years was so, rosUjd that It was Impossible to screw It off, and oonso quenily a link had to bo broken. The lunatic's father was ofygp a prosperous farmer of _ Horks,,count* owning a farm for Which be waa offered at one time #5,000. He af torwards sold It to a man for #2500, on condition tliat tiie purchaser would keep Ids Insane sou. If the latter became well Imfore he was forty years olil lie was to receive #5OO more, or If he died berore that time #iso was to have been paid to the lieirs, W hen the old uiun died there was & great deal of personal property left, the court appointed u trustee in the the Insane son. Complalut was made that, he was not properly treated, and he was tlajrefore ordered to be removed. It Is said Unit .he be came Insane by reasou of exposing hhuself to the sudden reaction of cold water over a heated body, lie ts a stoue mason by trade.
