—The morning train to Bellefonte
on last Tuesday carried about 225 per
sons. There were only two passenger
coaches and they were filled after the
train left at Springs Mills. G5 pas
sengers took the train at Coburn, and
50 at Rising Springs. The other sta
lionsfnrnished more than I<K> passen
gers and a tlat car had to be attached at
Lemont to accommodate them all.
I'very available space on the train was
occupied and Bellefonte was agreeably
surprised when the large delegation ar
rived there.
STARRED WITH A KNIFE.— Jesse
Wirt, of this town, who works on the
saw mill at l'oe Mills, had an alterca
tion with a young man by the name of
Flunk on Monday forenoon on the mill,
and was stabbed in the side by Frank.
The knife blade by glancing oft on a rib
did fortunately not hit any vital part.
Mr.Wirt came home to have his wound
attended to. which, lie says, pains him
greatly. A warrant, for Frank's arrest
was issued the same day. The safety of
the public demands that short work le
made with such characters and we hope
that this dangerous chap will receive
the full measure of punishment provi
ded by law for cases of this kind.
Cnuncii FESTIVAL.— The Luth. con

2(>th afternoon and evening. Ice cream,

other summer refreshments will be

be on hand. It is also proposed to have
cake walks. The lady members of the
congregation intend to apply the pro

public is respectfully invited to attend
as a day ot social enjoyment is antici

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— On Sunday
last, shortly after dinner, the house ol
Charles Wolf, about 2 miles east of Aa
ronsburg, was discovered to be on tire.
Mr. Wolf and family were not at home
at the time having gone to the bush
meeting which was in progress about a
mile further east. The llames began
their work in the attic and as the water
seemed very scarce and the people were
mostly to the bushmeeting the lire had
all the chance to make headway. How
ever, the few neighbors around suc
ceeded m getting most of the furniture
out of the house before the structure
fell a mass of ruins. Mr. Wolf had
beau sept for and when ho arrived at
liis place he found the house and sever
al tfift buildings reduced LO a3l|es. Ilis
loss iiKtttvy as be carried no insurance
whatever. The origin of the Are • re
mains a mystery as there had been no
lire in the stove since earlv in the
morning. It is believtd that an incen
diary got in his work and suspicions
point to a tramp who had lounged a
round the premises all morning.
A MOTHER FIRE IN HAINES.— On
Tuebday about midnight, the ham on
Charles llosterman's farm, near Wood
ward, was entirely consumed by fire,
together with ft)J Us contents, as well
as a yaluable cow and two pigs. Three
good horses perished in thO flames. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Hos

MnniiKu. —A foaifill tragedy occurred
in Sugar Valley, ('Union county, on
last Saturday in which Isaiah Cnlby
and his wife, a young couple, aged oil
and 20 years respectively, and their
one yeni old babe are the poor victims.
Tliey lived on a farm in the Narrows,
back of Washington Furnace, and in a
rather isolated spot. In the afternoon
of the said day Mrs. C'ulby who Is sup
posed to have been in the house en
gaged in making preparations to attend
a funeral on the folio.ving day, was
cruelly assaulted and outraged lv two
or three diabolic tl villains. During
the struggle which ensued she received
three bullet wounds, one in the hack of
the head, another in the back of bet
shoulder and a third in the breast. Ilet
husband who was in a field near by
heard the shots and ran to Iter assist
ance, and while defending his wife was
shot in the face, beneath the left eye.
The tahy during all this terrible com
bat was sitting oh the thiol in the house
wheie it was found the next evening
(Sunday) crying and hungry. Mr. ('ni
tty's mother, who was the liist to dis
cover the bloody deed, found her s.n
and daughter-in-law dead in front of
the house, near the door. The bodies
>f the murdered couple were huiied on
Monday evening. This is the most
sickening crime that has been per
petrated in this section of the state in
our recollection and the excitement
and indignation of the people is at
fever-heat. We hear that three men,
hailing from Hublersburg have been
urrestc-d as the guilty parties and are
safely lodged behind the bars of '.he
Lock Ilaven jail. One. it is reported,
has made a cleat, bieusl of the whole
affair. He shall keep our readers
posted as particulars deyelope from
week to week.

cumi on last Saturday morning on the
public road leading from Sugar Valley to
the Nittany Valley turnpike and passing
through the Narrows of wild mountains, a
distance of seven miles. The road is very
lonely, there King no dwellings in sight
for several miles. Rehire du\vn of day on
said morning ftntr parties from near Tylers
ville traveled oyer that road on their way
to market at Lock Haven and all were
robbed of their possessions. The first to
reach the narrows was Win. Riihl ; lie was
accosted by a strange fellow who stopped
his horses and demanded his money. Ruhl
had no weapon to defend himself and at
mice surrendered and gave up the money
ho had with him, The robKr then
allowed him to pass and went on his way
rejoicing. The next to lie plundered in the
saiqe manner and by the same fellow was
Herman Rressler, who came along about
15 minutes later. Ho lost $1,75.
e.uno AVip. G)au ia qtf whom the robber got
JtH.xh, and last came Ellis Franz who had
to sacrifice his silver watch, valued at ?15,
and $5.25 in hard cash. The four were too
far apart to be of any assistance to each
other. The highwayman is sa}d to have
p hanged his costume after, each robbery and
lias tiot been heard of since. As the road
is not very safe to travel alone, it would K
advisable for jieople passing hack and for
ward to go in grpups and bike, some means
