SUCCESSFUL NIMROBS.— A party of
hunters, numbering ten, among them
Messrs. D. A. Musser, F. P. Musser, J.
fl. Musser and J. YV. Lose, all of this
place spent the greater part of last week
in the mountains hunting deer and
returned on Friday with five of the tleet
fooled creatures. Mr. D. A. Musser had
the kindness to deliver a liberal slice of
venison at the editor's house for which
we return our best thanks. He also
told us that so tar he helped to kill
eleven deer this season. With such
luck it must be a pleasure indeed to be
out hunting.
—John Ilick, the restaurant man,
started oft beginning of last week to
take a trip to South America, but re
turned on Saturday, having only got as
far as New York. He says he didn't fan
cy the idea of a sea voyage,with its pos
sible ups and downs and perhaps a bath
in the briny deep, and concluded that
the safest, place was at home and on terra
firma. True, it does require some
nei ve to put the plank of a vessel be
tween yourself and the fathomless
ocean, and it seems John's nerve
wasn't there when it came to the point.
Scores of others would do precisely the
same thing.
—A Milllieiiu correspondent to the
Gazette flatly denies that the town clock
has been twenty minutes fast all
through the summer and makes it ap
pear as if this paper had told an un
truth. He says the clock has been
keeping excellent time. So it has—in
as much as it excelled the time of any
and all other clocks in this neighbor
hood. Come now, t>e a man and stick
to ilie truth. Don't think that the bare
contradiction of a statement does away
with cold facts. Ask those who are im
partial in the matter and they will tell
you exactly what this paper did as to
the coirectness of the town clock time.
STBCK'S LECTURE.— According to
prior announcement liev. Steck, of
iMlefonte, delivered his lecture in the
Lutheran church iu this place last Sat
urday evening. By special request he
changed his sutject, "Gilded Success,"
to "The Ilero Recognized and Unrecog
nized." We would vainly attempt by
our eulogies to do justice to the gentle
man's merits as an orator. Suffice it to
say that he kept his attentive audience
spell bound for over an hour, during
which time he played upon their feel
ings in various ways, according to the
plaintive and sentimental or the fiery
and thrilling si rain of his language. It
was a treat such as Millheim has not
had in cur recollection and we onlv re
gret llist the turnout was small, either
owing to scarcity of money, or more
likely to prejudice and a lack of taste
for entertainments of a higher literary
character. Be that as it may, those
who have had the pleasure of hearing
thelectuie pronounce it grand and are
ready to hear Mr.Sleek again whenever
opportunity affords.
—GUM BOOTS! GUM BOOTS! Heavy
and light weights MIX) any make you
tuny wniit, at tla* shoe store on Main
stieet.
—From what we hear there is some
probability of a public enteitaimneut
to be given by the pupils of the gram
mar department aliot-Lly before Christ
inas. Similar occasions in the past
luve IIIWM)M lieen pleasant ones ami we
have no doubt that, if this entertain
ment w ill come ntT,it will !h as delight
ful an affair as any we have had. Let
the monotony of the school rwm be
broken for a brief spell by something
that will direct the minds of the schol
ars into a difTeient and agreeable chan
nel. It may have a tendency to bright
en their wit and awaken their ambi
tions to acquire a higher degree of
knowledge.
—One of the llnest and moat telling
sermons that Millheim people have had
the privilege of listening to for several
years was preached by Rev. Stock last
Sunday evening in tlie l.uth. church.
The gentleman had been prevailed upon
to remain in town over Sunday, the
guest of Mr. S. I>. Musscr, and in the
evening kindly consented to till Hey.
Deit/lev's pulpit, lie spoke to a large
and interested audience, chosing for
his text the words contained in ttie
e'glitli verse of the lOJtd Psalm. His
remarks were highly edifying ami could
hardly fail to make a lasting impression
on all his hearers. His admonitory re
flect ions at the close of the discourse
were especially calculated to touch the
hidden chord of taitli in every uncon
verted heart. Sermons of that tyjK. we
think, should tend to create serious
thoughts in the minds of all.
MENSII'S ACCIDENT.— The misfor
mne wliich befell our townsman, Mr.
Geo. Mensh, in Bellefonte, has caused
more universal regret among our peo
ple than any other similar visitation
has in years. It will be remembered
that Mr. Mensh, when he first took the
joo as brakeman on the railroad about
two months ago, had one of his fingers
crushed which accident necessitated his
laying off for several weeks. On Mon
day he resumed his duties on the road
when tie met with the sad accident
which aroused the sympathy of ail who
know him. A coupling pin or iron rod
of one of the freight cars struck him in
the dark, nearly i>eueimling tiis head
and lacerating his face in a frightful
manner. Mensh js by no means rich
in this world's goods and his ill luck
sets hard on his family. lie is said to
be doing as well as can be expected
under the circumstances.
SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— On
last Thursday Mr. John Jungle, resid
ing in the Mountains, southwest of
here, near the mountain church, was
out felling trees when his axe glanced
off, striking his leg lietween the knee
and tlie ankle and severing one or the
main arteries. He was alone and about
a mile frmu his home and no other hab
itations being near he attempted to
reach bis own dwelling, hut failed. It
seems the unfortunate man had not the
presence of mind to stop the flow of
blood by bandaging the wound hut
dragged himself along until too
weak and died in the hands of some
hunters to whose camp he had managed
to get, about two hours after the thing
had occurred. The men carried Mr.
Lengle's body to his home, where a
grieved wife and six children now
mourn his sad death. He was a well
tiUilt, healthy man. atiout forty-eight
years of age, and earned a livelihood by
hard bone labor. His funeral took
place on Sunday and was largely at
tended. Deceased was a brother-in-law
of our townsman. W. N. Auman. and
a brother of Miss Jane Lengle, of this
place.
THE MILLIIEIM BOY AOAIN.— It is
still an o|>en question whether the
small fry in this borough will ever be
endowed with that priceless trait, com
mon sense, and learn the first I. ssotis
of decency aiid decorum. The smart (?)
trick which was played during services
in the Lutheran church on last Sunday
eveniug almost convinces us that some
of our young fellows are simply be
yond hope as far as good behavior is
concerned. It was a very dark night
and a number of people had brought
their lanterns along, which they left in
the vestibule, exacting to use them on
their homeroad. When after the ser
vices they went to light them they
found the wicks turned down below the
burners and were considerably delayed
in repairini the mischief done. As
usual, the miscreants are unknown,and
thev can thank their stars for it. Some
plan should te adopted either by the
local authorities or by the church mem
hers to break up the habit of loafing a
rouno church doors and in the vesti
bules. We think that if each congrega
tion would appoint its private detective
with orders to guard against all loafing
and loitering around the church prem
ises, and em|Kiwer him to arrest those
who are caught in such acts as the one
referred to above, it would effectually
stop the annoyances which our people
are subjected to by our smart young
men.
THE CULVKY MURDER TRIAL.— In
the Clinton county court on Monday
the case of the common wealth against
Luther Shaffer, John W. Johnson, He
nry Kline and Essie Kiine was called.
The defendants are charged with com
mitting the double Colby murder at
Cherry Hun last August. Separate
trials were granted the prisoners, and
Luther Sliafer was set down by the dis
trict attorney as the first to stand trial
for the murder of Colby. Alter many
challenges a jury was chosen. The
hearing of evidence, began Tuesday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock.
The names of the jurors areas follows :
Kiuanucl Robbins, farmer, Pine Creek ;
.loin* Fluff, farmer, Chapman township :
Frank Barnhart. laborer, Colebrook town
ship ; Miles Caldwell, htltorer, Haiti Kagle
township ; Samuel Smith, laborer, Thiol
ward Look Haven : Thus. Hurke ; William
Kyer, farmer, Beer,. Creek : Frank A. Hey
th ick, Fourth ward Lock Haven : Freder
ick Amm, farmer, Oreen township ; .Jacob
Messerly, laborer, Dunstable township ;
Charles If. Shoemaker, elerk, Second ward
Lock Haven ; (teorge Iler, carpenter, Dun
stable township.
District Attorney Brown opened the case
for the Commonwealth on Tuesday morn
ing by stating to the jury the nature of the
case, telling how the victims had been
found, and giving a full history of the mur
der.
Mr.Brown stated that the evidence would
l>e circumstantial, but he thought it would
be found strong enough to enable the jury
to render their verdict without much trouh
le. That Luther Sliafer sold the Isaiah Cul
vey watch to a jeweler at Itenovo would be
proved among the evidence given.
•John Culvey was the first witness sworn
and his testimony taken. P. J. David, the
surveyor, was'the next sworn, and he ex
plained maps and drafts made of the place
where the murder had been committed.
Mrs. Anna Cuivey, mother of the murder
ed man, and wjfe of .John Culvey was next
sworn and called on the witness stand,
Charles Culvey, aged 14 years, Solomon
Peck, of Walker twp , Centre Co., Abram
Stein, Lock Haven, Dr. It. Armstrong and
Dr. A. G. Walls, also of Lock Haven, and
Samuel Cans, of Tylersville, were then
heard as witnesses and the court adjourned
until 2 o'clock, p. 111.

ley mule drivers was up to the swamp
]MM>dle camp to trade The boys traded a
camel on an ox and got a mule to boot.
Not so bad. Tbo ox is in splendid trim for
dry beef.
John Slifer and two of bis Johngarians

some great nigljt attractions ou Main street
of late. It must lie hard on his eyes. We

hoys, had an exciting time l.ist Saturday
morning. While going up Poe Mountain,
whom should he meet but Mr. Bruin. The

showed fight. The camel felt so small that

That item in last week's Poe Mills letter
about the sausage must have moved that
kind-hearted woman, Mrs. Burd, for she
sent us about four yards of the Anest sausage
and some pudding to our camp. You ought
to have seen the hungry gather around the
table to sample the Burd sausage. Such
good hearted women are wotrb having and
suppose that is exactly what our chief of
police thinks. We are ever so much obliged.
Last Friday 4m king of all the logs came
to the tram rosdi That piece of timber was
kind of a sticker for the boys. It required
eight head of mules and four drivers to

and 24 inches thick at the top.
last week Harry Deibler, James Smith
and Saiul. Weiser, all of Millheim, sent
some very Ane oil paintings to the Swamp
Poodle camp. The boys are ever so much
obliged for the paintings.
Poe Mills always ahead and our women
seem to take the lead. We had a female
superintendent, carpenter, two quack doc
tors and this week a female shingle packer
and shoe maker enter Aeld. Suppose
next will be a female squire aud a hog cou
ntable.
A lively time over at Buzzard's Glory. A
wounded doer came along and reached the
little settlement. (>ne of the female imputa
tion spied the deer and gave the signal for a
general chase. She was joined by three
others and they got down to business. The
one was equipped with a gun, that wasn't
loaded, another had the 'powder horn the
third had an old garden rake aud the other
actisl as guide. The deer was run toward
Cuppy's : when he caught sight of the deer,
he got the buck fever, and, using a board,
shot the deer on the head. It. dropped and
he sprang on it and tried to cut its throat
with a pine knot. He was just congratulat
ing himself that he hail the deer for sure,
and was atsmt dividing the s|K>ils with the
four women, when the hunters who had
shot the deer came and claimed their own.
They gave a small jmrtion to Cuppy and
the four women. Poor Cuppy had a fear
ful night dreaming of deer and Hie dear
ones at home. CALIFORNIA JACK.
