HoEiUDUJ Cuse Of I.srAsficiM.-u-On Satur
i,/ morning last, CorontfrFox was called upon
io hpU an inquest onthebodyof anew-born
fcnale child, which was lying, in ia house imho
s v ,rth Ward, and which was supposed to have
w me to its death by strangulatiop. or thewant
of proppr.atiention. It appearathatthe moth
»r of the child; whoso name, weblelieve is Dunn,
mu a servant girl in the house in which the af
fair took place; and that on Friday morning she
of being unwell, but recondi
tion was hot suspected by the iWomah of the
bouse. In the afternoon she Went up stairs pud
gthut herself up in a room, and refused a correct
' ssswer to all questions aa to what was th?mat
i«r, and requested to be left aloud. A neighbor
noma coming in, and learning the state of af
friirs, that all was pot right, and went
on to the girl’s room, on entering which, she
discovered what coufimediher suspicions, and
eae “t once charged the girl with having given
birth to a child, or having produced an abortion
upon herself ;Thc girl at first denied, but af
terwards admitted tbit the first charge was cor
rtet. and that the child could be found between
die straw bed and chaff bed, on. which she was |
Ijing, wrapped! Up m* skirt The woman im
mediately nwdd searen for the child and found.
i: with the skirt wrapped tightly around its head
ud neck, and ialthough; quite dead,lit was still
warm. Suspecting that the girl had thus wrap
ped up the child for the double purpose of sti
fling its eateries and strangling it, she commu
nicated the fact to those through vfhoin it reach
ed tha ears of the coroner, who proceeded to
Ud an inquest, from Which the facts as above
related were adduced. Thechild.iitissaid, was
quite large and,healthy looking, perfectly form- j
cd, and, in the opinion of the physician present, !
hid been born ialive, a fact which, wo believe, i
tho mother dobs not deny. . ,
From all the evidence before the jury, they
could not do otherwise than find that the child
came to its death by the hands of its mother,
uid they eo recorded it in their verdict.
Gasos of this kind have'become so common of
late, and the guilty so often escaped tho puc
ichment dpo, because they could not be discov
eredi have lost much of their enormi
ty and horror} but certainly, when the affair is
rightly considered, it .is nothing less than mur
der, and that the most revolting—a parent muir
dcring her own defenceless child. With what
horror do we shrink from.the contemplation of j
the actions of heathen mothers in casting their |
infants into thp jaws of crocodiles, in the river j
Ganges; and yet such actions are no more bar
barous than the one we have related.
Wc presume jthe affair will undergo an inves
tigation before a court of justice, in due time,
and the guilty be properly punished.
Accidents.— A few days since, as the work-,
men at -the Milj 'Creek'Bridgc, below Lanctistcr,
were returning; from their wort on a hand car,
ilte clothing off. Wm. Percival, of this place,
who wne working at the. crank, was caught by 1
it, and he was thrown from the car, ota the track, j
dte wheels passing .over his right leg, fracturing-
Uth boaea, and cutting and bruising him about
tho head and -other parts of the body. Five
other workmen'on tic car were also thrown off,
and more or less cut and bruised, but not seri-
ously.
On Tuesday afternoon last, Mr. ‘Robert M’Coy
* hrenkman on the Local freight, was seriously
injured in attempting to jump from his train,
which was-in motion, upon a wood train, stand*
iog at Petersburg station. la making the .leap
from the moving train, he threw his arm arotiud
a standard of ,the wood truck, which, not being
üblc to bear h|s Weight, gave way, and he fell,
with his hip against the cabin car of the, train,
injuring the joint so much that he has not been
»b!e tp help himself since, and from which he
suffers much when he attempts to exert
himself,- or is moved; j)p. Gemmill is attending
him. ■■ I ; ’ ■

IiAEK’ CllASE.—About tWO turn
a young lady at Blair Puimace sued out * yt£.
.Mat for a certain young man at Tipton, forJttor
pa . tcmal S
and placed the missive m the hands of a youne
constable of the former place, who with a six*
shooter m pocket, proceeded to bring the care
less young man to a proper sense of his duty.
On arming at Tipton, ‘ossifer’ discovered care
less young gent spending his time in n very care
less manner about a smith -shop just in the rear
of the hotel. Thinking to save trouble, “oasi-
Icr concluded not to arrest careless young gent
until about the time the western bound train
wouldmako its appearance at the station. When
the whistle_ sounded at Tyrone, “ossifer” rushed
to the smith-shop and informed careless gent of
bis errand. Careless gent said, “good evening,
.sir, and started on foot for a journey into, the
“kedentry” hotly pursued by theCommou wealth
who discharged one barrel after another of his
artillery at the flying Lothario, but always mis
sing hu tuon. Retreating party struck a line
duo east for a patch of pine bushes on the line
of the railroad, thence south to sundry piles of
wood, thence wetjt to hotel, thence north through
the hall to the place of beginning, and there
disappeared to the astonishment of the astute
constable, who, with, dim visions of costs from
plaintiff, abd a hard winter setting in, with poor
boots,-and his Ammunition expended, hastened
to board the approaching train and go home by
hinuelf;
That’sSO.—-Discontinuing to advertise, says
.the Philadelphia Bulletin, is like taking down
onb’s-own sign; It is a sort of intimation of re
tirement from -business, and the public treat it
as such. Qr they may regard it as evidence
that something bos.gone wrong, which requires
privacy for investigation. Whatever construc
tion may be put upon it, the result is disas
trous. Now we advise all our readers who may
have fallen in the common error of the season
to cbmo bat of their holes, to put up their signs
once more ;'and to advertise iu;as many papers
as they did in the best times. While business
-creates advertising it is equally trap that adver
tising, creates business. It creates n talk and
stir in business circles, and reminds people that j
they have no right to be leading drones’ lives j
even though tho times be dQll. And even in j
the worst of times advertising'alwaya pays well, j
and the more of it there is, the greater will be
the circulation of money, and the sooner will be
restored a condition of prosperity.
A 1 Thus Statembst. —Those affleted with
disease of the'lungs and bronchial organs, will
find a remedy of great power ia that best of all
medicines compounded by Dr. Geo H. Keyser,
of 140 Wood street, Pittsburg, Pa., called “Pec
toral Syrup/’ It reaches at once the seat of
disease, and hundreds have been curejl by it af
ter every other remedy has failed. Most of
what arc called patent medicines, fail for want
of proper adaptation of the ingredients, which
do not roach the disease. This is not the. case
with Dr. Keyser’s remedy, every bottle of which
is compounded by himself, and with the inten
tion to alleviate bad cases, and to cure mild
cases. Numbers of our citizens can attest the
truth of our statement in this respect. Price

Distressing Occcanuucc.— A sad accident
occurred on Tuesday the 10th inst., by which
; Robert M., son of Japes Hamilton, Fsq., of
West township, Huntingdon co., lost his life.—
lie was engaged in removing some saw-logs
'from the top of a pile, which being icy, his feet
slipped, and he fell, striking his head upon the
ground' which produced concussion of the brain.
;llc lingered until the ensuing Friday, when
death released him from his suffering!!. He was
in Lis twenty-fourth year. Ills friends miss his
welcome voice, ahd sigh ns they glance at the
vacant chair in their family circle, never more
to be occupied by him.
He joined the Presbyterian Church in Altoona
during a revival four years ago of which church
he was still a member. In the midst of life, we
are in death.- —Huntingdon Journal American.

Spring Election’. —Three weeks from to-mor
row our spring election will tnkp place. The
officers to bo elected arc one Justice of tbe
Peace, one Constable, Chief Burgess, five Town
Councilmen, two School Directors, one Assessor
two assistant Assessors, one Auditor, three
Judges and six Inspectors of Elections. Most,
if not ail, of these offices are important, and as
the prosperity of our town, and its credit abroal
depends in a great measure upon the character
and qualifications of its officers, we hope our cit
izens will exercise their judgment in determin
ing who are to be our rulers and servants for
the next twelve months.
Accident at Larimer’s.—On Friday morning
last, an accident occurred at the first cat west
of Larimer’s Station, Western Division, P. R. R.,
which resulted in the death of Nathan Burger,
engineer, .and the serious injury of Asberry
Westfall, fireman, and Daniel McGary, conduc
tor, on the Express Freight train westward. It
appears tnat just as the train was passing throgb
the cut, a large body of earth and slate rook
fell directly upon the locomotive, almost bury
ing it beneath tlip rains, and killing incl injur
ing the persons abovo named, who were on it at
the time. No otbejr persons on the train were
injured. _ ■ - •
