The unfortunate young man was driving a wagon laden with coal across the track, when the engine, which was conceal ed from view at the time by a high fence, struck the vehicle and reduced it almost to kiudlitig wood, besides inflicting the shock ing injuries already spoken of. Two other boys who were with young Bender escaped a similar fate by jumping from the wagou.

If Sheriff Ryan hasn't had an opportuni ty to read some newspapers we could name, he is probably in blissful ignorance of the fact that, with ihe aid of several employes of the Pa. R. R. Co., he succeeded on Thurs day night of ast week in capturinsr and bringing to jail here no les than fifteen tramps who had taken forcible possesion of the track houses at VVilmore and Cone maugh. Peter Hoppel, azed f.1. of Richfield. Wisconsin, while walking on the railroad near Bennington, last Thursday forenoon, was struck hy an engine and thrown some distance from the track, but fortunately es caped with no worse injuries than a severe cut In Ihe forehead about tvvn inches Iu from .lolmstown and committed to tastie Ryan. It seems that on the previous day they made their appearance at the Johns town railroad station, ami having by some means procured a supply of whisky, got on a big jamboree, and started eastward along the lai'.rnad. When they reached the watch box of iiight watchman Brown, not far from the depot in that place, they broke in the door, smashed a bench ami bunk in the building, anil then proceeded up the road in Ihe direction of Fast Conemangh. In the meantime a warrant was procured for their arrest, ami a police officer, with the assist ance ef a dozen or so of the employes of the railroad, captured them in detail at thejvil lage named, where they were "sloshing around" promiscuously. Two of them, more vicious and pugnacious than the rest, had to be knocked down with "billies" before they would submit to arrest a feat which w as not fully accomplished' until one of the two was struck on the head anil badly in jured by a coupling-pin, the excuse for us ing so deadly an implement being the alleged producing of a ra.or with which it seemed to be bis intention to make things lively for length. He was tkeu to Altoona, where ! those who were seeking tosubdtie him. The his wound was dressed, and then sent to the county almshouse. Union .Johnson, a young colored man charged w it h being concerned in the robbery on Wednesday night of last week of a lnc.il freight car at the Johnstown station, was entire party were taken back to Johnstown ami committed to the lock-up, where one of them succeeded in securing an iron bar. with which he badly demoralised Ihe woodwork of one of the apartments in that building, thereby providing himself and two of his committed for trial sfter a hearing before i cell mates with heavy oaken clubs.

The "red demon of the nursery," other wise ami more commonly known as scarlet fever, is scourging severnl families in north- . em Cambria, and even in our town, just i now. One of the most distressing of all the cises that have come to our knowledge is in . the family of Mr. Michael Murphy, residing ; In Cambria township, a lew miles tiopi town, seven of whose childten, are now af flicted with this dangerous disease. A well known merchant an.l hotel keep, er In northern Cambria was arrested on Fri day last for Ihe alleged forgery of th-s name of another party to his li-enso lsmd, the complainant in the case beinj a cousin of the aectrsed. The latter gave bail to appear for a hearing on Wednesday last, but what was then done in the matter we failed to learn. Time enough to make Ibe name public when the case comes before Court, if it ever does. A four-year old son of Daniel R.-rkey, residing near Scalp Level, this comity, got hold of a loaded revolver on Saturday night last, and while trying to dim-over the "true in wardness" of the dangerous weapon, acci dentally shot himself in Ihe right breast, ami if he has not already died from the ef fect of the wound the probabilities are that lie car. not survive. The carelessness which permits loaded firearms to be left within each of chiUren is little if any less than criminal. The big stock of new goods to w hicli we referred last week can now be seen in all its glory at the cheap cash store of Myers it I.lovd, who among numberless other articles have taken a new departure in the way of ladies' coafs. of which ibey have a full and fashionable lineof various sizes an.l textures and at the lowest possible, prices. Also, an elegant assortment of made-up clothing, overcoats, and all other goods comprised 1 11 a large and well selected stock. Go and see how it is yourself. The Huntingdon Jnnrnal takes nrcaston to remark that the'Mickle me imiril tickle roil" policy which if seems to'hink has been established lietween the Irol rs and the Cambria FbF.KMAV must be very amusing to the readers of the two papers in question. i 11 it i a. newspaper, we taice nil, eii.."--" - ; lime these three seemed to be masters of the situation, but a section of hose attached to the ping in Ihe maiket house was promptly Introduced over the top of the cell and the wflter turned on wiih a force which soon brought, an answer In shape of piteous ap peals for mercy. The entire party will be tried at Court next week for breaking into the watch-lox . and for resisting an officer. One of them says he Is from Phoeni x vllle, another from Blairsville, a third formerly lied and still ' owns a house ami lot in M inersville ( Johns j town), and the rest hail from various oilier I towns ami ci'ies. They are as" hard-looking ' a lot of customers as w e have seen for many a day. ASDTttF.R SAl HCNTINO Arc! DENT. A Touiu; M'lii .svrcrcv if " fitttily Injured. Mr. Cal. TMelblute, an unmarried man, aged 1 about thirty years, who resides with his ; widowed mother In this place, and who lost his right arm while gallantly serving his I country in Hie late war, met with a shocking ' accident about one o'clock on last Tuesday afternoon, which there Is reason to fear will cost him his life, though his case is by no means hopeless. It seems that Mr. Edel bltite was out hunting by himself iu Cain : bria township, about five miles west of tow n, ! and while looking about him in quest of game heard his dog barking at sums distance from him. Supposing that the animal had I treed a squirrel he started on a double quirk in the direction of the sound, carrying his ' double-barreled shot-gun in a trailing posi : tion, but had not proceeded very far when the hammer of the gun caught on a project ing root, and the res lit was that the weapon exploded ami the full charge struck him ninler the left jaw, shattering the bone in a , fearful manner, ami even riddling the roof of his month. It is also feared that his up ' per jaw has lieen fractured, but at this wri ; ting' his face ami head is so much swollen ! that the doctors are unable to decide as to ! that. After lieiug shot. Mr. Edelblute fell to j the ground, where he lay for a few minutes, 1 when he got up ami made his way to the house of Mr. John R. Evans, about a mile i and a quarter distant, where his injuries I were attended to as well as they could be and he was brought home on a horse arcom i n.nil iw Mr F.vans. or some one acting in his stead. Medical aid was summoned im- letter from JZntUr County. M ii.ij:rstow!, Nov. 26, 1377. FniF!D Mac We took 'our departure from your quiet and peaceful town (which is especi ally so at the early hour your ilrnnch train moves out) with Ihe intention of vlsitinir a por tion of the Pennsylvania oil fields, and soon found ourself eliding down the western slope of the mountain at ihe rate of perhaps thirty five or forty niilesan hour. Arrivingat Blairs ville Intersection before we bad scarcely time to realise our whereabouts, we chanired curs and were soon whirled over the West Penn road to Alleg-heny Jjnction. from whence we took passnire on the Allegheny Valley Railroad to Parker City, reaching tbe latter place about 9 o'Cock the same niflit. The first thing that attracts the sttcntion of the stranger on entering Ihe oil eountry i the constantly burning gas emanating from the many 01J "wells on the hills and along Ihe banks of the Allegheny river. When we reached Par ker station our eyes were dazzled hy tbe bright lights I hill shone through iheglats fronts of the business houses in this citv, situated as it is on the opposite bank of the river, ami to winch we wended our way over a loil-brblge which spans the river at this point. Parker city claims 3. MM population amiisa brisk oil town, though, like till other towns In the oil country round about which Hi territory u been well developed, it hiis losr the excitement which attends the opening upol new territory. The 1'iiiker ihiilu, a newspaper published here, is an able sheet ami well deserves the large pa- j tronage It receii es throughout oildom. While here we met with a number of former Kbens- bnrgers, all of ihim engaged in various pur suits. From this place we journeyed lo Petro- lia. ahout eight miles up the 1 arkcr, Karns City and Holler narrow-gunge road, passing on the way several small villages and numerous derricks which dot hill n. I valley oil either side. As the trnln niove.1 into Pctrolia we were as tonished to ece how close the railroad Is hemmed in on both sides by business houses so close indeed that one could almost step out of the csr into not a few of them. This place is very Utile different fi 0111 Parker as to size, and is the liveliest town of its proportions in the oil country. Large blscksmith and machine shops, in which the necessary machinery tor drilling and working oil wells is maun lact 11 red, me among the most prominent inilusl rial estab lishments here. The oii territory in the vicini- j iv of Petrolia is good and reliable and the wells j drillinr and pumping are numerous, some of ' the latter of which produce from fifty loa hu:i I died barrels per day. i There e.re many gambling hells ami houses of ; prosl Hut ion in Petrolbt, and the commission of ' : ciiousof evei y grade, from t he highest to the I I lowest, is nf f icqiienfrocciirrence. On the 21st j ! insf. a young mini named J sines Glinn was la i tally btahtw'd in a fracas which occurred at the I Exchange Hotel, ami died two days after. The i supposed murderer was captured, but soon af I ler relessed by giving worthless socurity as I bail, and his whereabouts are now unknown. I Our attention vhs called by a friend while I there to a gentleman and tvo bright looking i ! litt'e boys who were passing along the street, j j and he said, "Io you see that man and hi two i sons over there."' "Yes," we replied. "Well, I I Ihe mother of those boys, while standing in the j ! doorway of her own residence, not many ' months ago. was shot dead without tlie ltut : provocation hy a llend in human shpe, ami , lor the terrible crime he was only sentenced a I ; few years lo Hie penitentiary." "How was I thatV" we inquired. "Well, he bad friends ; with mon.-y and infl.ience, ami a plea of iiisan- j 1 ity fhe loop- hole I lirough which so many mod- I , ern murderers esoapa just punishment torthcir ! fearful offences was put in and served the ' purpose." I We met at J'etrolia Mr. T. T. Spence, former I ly of Kbensburg, who has a fine photograph : galliry there ami is doing a good Misiness. j We also rn against Mr. John A. Thompson, : Jr., who has an interest in two good wells near Fairview, which is a pleasant and substantially- built village about two mid a hulf miles west of Petrolia. A couple of mile further by rail brought us to Kuril City, a town of considerable sire and r.t one time of great nativity, but now quieted down very considerably. From this place we j were Induced to rake a stroll out in Ihe coun try. Woodland hills, fenceless fields without a j sign of vegetation, rude dwelling houses, der I ricks, large irontnks for the storage of oil, i pump stations, and roads branching out in ; every direction, were the objects which pre j scnted themselves to view. At one of these ; pump stations we were Rgreeably surprised to I meet an old lime resident of Kbcusburg. Mr. John M urray, son nf ymir redpected townsman, Capt. Jas. Murray. This gentleman kindly I showed us through tlie establishment and ex plained things down to a sein icolon. From an- j other station further on poured a constant stream of oil through pipes and Into two large i tanks wil h a capacity of thousands of barrels; ami from these the oil is forced through a pipe several miles to another station by the aid of ' powi rTuI steam pun p. Taking leave of Mr. Murras', we resumed our sauntering Und by j the way noticed numerous croquet grounds and dancing platforms, at which plnees, we were told that tinting the summer evenings and under ihe gasl ght Ihe young men and ; malleus of Ihe neighborhood are wonttoas semblo. nml with mallet ami hall, or in the ; mazy dance, while away tiic time until lhe"wee I suia' hou is" con.e r n s pece. In ourpernmhula tlons we caire across den. A. Williams, who wn hsil ing to dri:l nn oil well, and Win. II. 1 Williams, who is acting in the cHpnciiy of pumper, both of whom are from your town. 1 Once more taking the train on the narrow. gnage road, we soon reached Millertown, about ; threi- miles from KarnsCity. From 5.0ti0 to A.. !(KK)isthe number of inhabitants now claimed by this place, which, like oil towns in genera!, Is mostly composed of temporarily constructed i plank and frame b'lildings. 1 he oil excitement 1 is running high here, and has been for mouths ! past, on account of the great strikes of oil ' made in this vicinity. The all absorbing topics ; are oil anil the Stmdard Pipe Line Compi.ny. I This great monopoly represents about 4 la.UHi.- Ooti in wealth, and, since its recent purchHse of the Conduit Pipe Line, is said to control the price of crude oil. An organization called the I Producers' Protective Union, which has been formed among oil men of all sections of the oil ; country, already represents thout 'O.fiOO.OoO. ; mid is still iucreii sing. Their proceedings nre conducted in secret and w hat course they will pursue on mooted questions is as yet unknown to Ihe outside world. For fear of Inking up too much of your val I usble space, if we have not doii so, already. we will close by promising to write you again . In case we conclude to take a contemplated trip ; to the Clarion oil district. I Yours, Ac , W. S. W. STILL II THE FIELD. Al THE EARS H DWI Wfeen.

A young man named Con rati K nuke I , whose home is at Scalp Ievet, in A'l.ioi.- township, was brought to this place on Mon day last ami committed tn jail fit aw ait trial for attempting to put daylight through an other young man named John Headrick, in Franklin borough, on the evening previous. The difficulty, it seems, grew out of a love complication, the accused, if we are rightly informed, having been supplanted iu Ihe af fections of a young lady named Tillie Shaf fer by the party of the second part, who, as the story goes, entered the Shatter mansion at the time ami place indicated, accompanied by the coveted fair one, and wa immediate ly confronted by the enraged Knnkel, who h;nl called nieautima ami was patiently awaiting their return, anil who forthwith produced a revolver anil deliberately aimed it at his successful rival. At this juncture, however, the father of ihe girl caught Kunkel by the shoulders and whirled him around Itefore lie had tinin to pull the trigger. The desperate man was then unarmed, and soon after an informal Ion was lodged before a justice of the peace against the would-be murderer, who, as we have already said, is now in jail and will no doubt be brought, up for trial in our counly court uext. Kunkel, if reMrt be true, made no secret of his in tention to kill Headrick and then commit suicide, and even ye', we are told, he ex presses a determination to carry out his blood-thirsty intentions at the earliest op portunity.

He discovered that several deer were devas tating one of his fields, and finding out where the animals entered, he loaded his gun in the evening, and took a position, a la sharpshooter, in a tree, and awaited the coming of the deer. He remained in his po- ' sitiou until two o clock the next morning, ! when four d-er entered the field which, he ' con lil distinguish by the bright moonlight. 1 Awaiting his opportunity, he took deliber ate aim, and killed one of ihe largest. The other deer looked upon their fallen comrade and stood still until the marksman fired . another shot, which killed deer 'o. 2. i Again the same thing happened, tlie der being too much astounded to run, when the j hunter tired the third time, and only wound ed one of the remaining two, which caused them to speed away. Had he killed the , third deer, he might have probably hat! a nhot at the fourth. Huntingdon Local Xeics. yH the eoods yon need ran be hontrht an rhenn St not a little cheaper, from A. A.
