The Miliheim hardware store is in a
flourishing condition at present. The new
firm is composed of honest, reliable n.cn,
full worthy of a liberal potronage.
Our friend, S. G. Guteliut who goes
round to break the peoples'jaws, is always
as busy as a bee, and jolly as you please.
Sam knows how to take out old ackers
with satisfaction, and his work is beyond
criticism.
The Miliheim band improved very much
of late. They discoursed music on our
streets one evening, last week, and we
were surprised at the well trained musical
talent they displayed.
Mr. A. S. Stover had in his possession a
common hen egg, that weighed 3J ounces,

item was postponed to some future time.
One day last week, a colt belonging to

' LEWIBBURG, CENTRE AN\
f SPRUCE CREEK RAILROAD.
The President of the L. C. AS. C. RR.
Company, lion. G. F. Miller, of Lewis
burg, publishes the annual report of the
doings of the Company, which is full of
interest to many of our readers. The
President shows a substantial progress in
the building of the road. There was
much delay encountered in the beginning,
but it seems now, that not a very long pe
riod of time will elapse before Penns Val-
Jey will have egress by rail. It appears
bv the repoTb that the part of the line
from Penna. Furnace to the Western
terminus on the Penna. road, near Tyrone,
is ready for the railing, being a distance of
over 18 miles. The 16 miles of route from
Penna. Furnace to Linden Hall, nothing
has been done with, owing to financial
difficulties. From Linden Ilall East to
Beaver Dam, a distance of 18 miles, the
road is nc-arly ready. Of the sections east
of Beaver Dam, including loj miles, but
four miles are finished, and here the work
should he pressed more rapidly. The
Beaver Dam tunnel, 2GO feet long is all
through, save about 40 feet. Another
tunnel at Paddy's Mountain, 320 feet long,
has simply been worked at the approaches
From Mifflinburg to Laurel Run, eight
miles, the road is finished. The greater
part of the work from there to the 164
mile sections, is completed. The cost of
the whole road from Lewisburg junction
to Tyrone, 87 miles, is put down at $2,206,-
002.39. There has been paid for right of
way $18,507.78. The subscriptions to the
capital stock of the company amount to
$346,700. The President suys: "Of the
$2,000,000.00 ot the first mortgage seven
per cent, bonds authorized by law $1,500,-
000.10 have been sold to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, at what was deemed
a reasonable discount, and $45,000.00 were
paid over to the Philadelphia and Erie
Railroad Company, as part of the amount
that company had advanced in tho con
struction of the line between the Junction
and Lewisburg leaving $455,000.00 of
these bonds undisposed of. The balance
due P. & E RR. Co. was paid in stock at
par."
The total earnings of the road from the
J unction to Mifllinburg (11 miles), last
year, were $26,729.45; the expense $19,-,
745,571. The net earnings (or profits) in
1871, were $2,660.10, and in 1872, $4,035.-
79, whilst in lbi-t they were $t1,98.'1 94
1 Thus it w ill be seen that the road pays.

ME. EDITOR.— The time is almost here
for the democratic party to make nomina
tions, and we would introduce the name of
J. Newlin Hat!, of Howard township, as a
candidate for the office of county t'otfiuns
aioner. Mr. UHH is a practical farmer, a
gentleman, and a scholar, who would give
not only strength to the party, but com
mand respect in tbe position, besides
having good business qualifications, he is
a lite long democrat, end has been an ac
tive worker in furthering the Interest of
the party.
M e want men for the present contest on
whom we can rely. For moral worth no
man stands higher in the community, than
Mr. Hall, and tor the office of Commission

THE BRAVE KLINESMITII GIRLS.
Towards the close of the Revolution,
there lived near where the town of New
Berlin now stands, a family named Kline-i
smith. A small party of Indians coining
upon their dwellings whilst the males of
the family were busy in the harvest field!
of a neighbor, plundered the house, and!
carried awaj two of Klineimith's daugh
ters, one sixteen, the other fourteen years
v|M- The party retraced to a spring north
M New Berlin—now called the Still House
Spring—where they halted, and, not satis
fled with thq trifling mischief they had
done, left their prisonars and booty in the
care of the oldest man in the party, whilst
the main body proceeded to the harvest
field, in the hopes of getting souie scalps
to carry home as trophies of their success.
The old man lighted his pipe, and sat
down at the foot of a tree, keeping an eye
upon his prisoners. After some time the
rain began to fall, when Betsey, the oldest
girl, intimated to the sentinel that she
meant to out down some branches from
the trees, and cover a small bag of flour
which the Indians had brought from her
father's house. The Indian, little suspect
ing her real intention, assented, and per
mitted her to take one of the axes or toma
hawks. She pretended to be very busy
occupied with her task, but contrived to
get behind the eld man, and buried the
nxe in his head.
By this time the scalping party, finding
the harvesters too numerous and well arm
ed for their purposes, were on their return,
and bad already approached near enough
to hear the groan or cry of the old Indian
as he fell. The girls fled—the savages
pursued and fired. The young girl, just
us she was in tho act of {springing over a
fallen tree, was pierced with a bullet,
which entered below the shoulder blade,
and came out at the breast. Bhe fell, and
immediately rollod herself under tho log
which Ht that point was raised a little from
tho ground. The savages sprang over the
log, in chase of her sister, without observ
ing that any one lay under it.
Betsey being a strong and active lass
gave thani a bard run, so that the harvest
ers, by the firing, came to the rescue in
time to save her, and change the pursuers
into fugitives. They found the little girl
under the fallen tree, much terrified and
weakened by the loss of blood, but fortu
nately not dangerously wounded, the ball
having passed through her body without
touching any vital organ. She recovered,
and afterwards married a man named
Campbell. Becoming a widow, she mar
ried again. Her last husband's name was
Chambers. Betsey also married, and, with
her husband, removed to one. of the West-
States.— History of the West Branch. '
RKKCHKB-TIWTON SCAN DAL.
f onfiaaei/ frvm 2ud p.iyr,
ply to one or more of the most gloomy
charges touching the feigned sorrow of my
husband (or compulsory revelations
I solemnly at ow that long before the
Woodhull publication 1 knew him. by in
sinuation ntidphree! statement, to have re
pealed to my very near relative and friend
thesuhstanee .of these accusation* which
sheet, the moral sense ef the entire com
munity this day. Many tunes, when hear
ing that certain persons hail spoken ill of
him, lie ties sent me to chide them for so
doing, and then and there I learned he
had been before me with his calumnies
against myself, so that 1 was speechless.
The reiteration in hi* ttatsuieut that he
had persistency striven to hide theo so
called fact* is'utterly false, a* hi* haired to
Mr. Ileeehor ha?elisted these many years
'and a determination (o ruin Mr. Rceeher
' has born the one aim of his life,
j The sh-xmelet* charges in articles seven,
eight and nine are fearfully false in each
and every particular. The letter referrsd
'to in Mr Tilten'a tenth paragraph was ob
tained from me by importunity and by
representations that it was necessary lor
I him to uss in hi* then pending difficulties
with Mr. liowen.
I 1 was then sick nigh utile death, having
suffered a miscarriage only four days be
fore. I s gued whatever he required with
out knowing or understanding its import,
l'he pa pet 1 have never seen and do not
knew what statements it contained. In
charge eighteen a letter of uiiue, addressed
to Mr. Francis Moultoii, is quoted lo pros t
that I never desired a separation or was
advi-ej by Mr. or Mrs. Reedier to leave
my husband.
I reply, the letter was of Mr Titian'*
own concocting, which he induced me lo
j copy ar.d to sign a* my own act, which in
jtny weakness and mistake 1 thought
would help him. 1 have done so too often
'during these unhappy years.
I The implication that the harmony of the
house was unbroken until Mr. Hsccher
| entered it a* a frequent guest or friend, is
a lamentable satire upon the household
where ho years before laid the corner
I stone of free love and desecrated its alters
up to the time of my departure, so that the
atmosphere was net only Godless but im
pure for my children, and in this effort
and those of agony 1 would fain lift my
.daughters and all womanhood from the
[insidious and diabolical teachings of these
| latter days.
In summing the whole matter 1 affirm
myself before tied to be innocent of the
crime laid upon me; that 1 never have
been guilty of adultery with llenry Ward
Beecher in thought or deed, nor hts he
ever offered to me an indecorous or im
proper proprosal.
To the further, charge that 1 was led
away from my home by Mr Beechor's
triends and by the ad vie* of a lawyer
whom Mr. Heecber had sent to me, and
who, in advance of my appearing before
the committee, arranged with me the ques
tions and answers which "were lo consti
tute my testimony In Mr.'Beecher'a behalf.
1 answer that this is again untrue,
having never seen the lawyer until intro
duced to him a few minutes before arriv
al of the committee by my stopfather,
Judge Morse.
The publication of Mr. Tilton's letter in
answer to Dr. Bacon, 1 had not known
nor suspected, w hen on Wednesday even
ing be brought home the Golden Age
handing it to me. Looking down its col
umns I saw well nigh with .blinding eyes
that he had put into circulation the a'most
daily threat of his life. That he lived to
crush out Mr. Beecher and that the god of
battles was in him.
lis had always been Mr. Beecher's su
perior and all that lay in his path—wife,
children or reputation if need be, should
fall befere this purpose. 1 did not read it
I saw enough without, rending my spirits
within me as never'bofore. Theodore,
1 said, "tell me what means these quota
tions from Mr Beechsr. Two years ago
you came to me at midnight, saying,
"Elisabeth, all letters and papers concern
ing my difficulties with Mr. Beecher and
Mr. Bowen are burned and destroyed;
now, don't you destroy me, for I have
nothing to defend myself with." "
'"Did you believe that' said be. "1
certainly did, implicitly,' said I. "Well
then let me tell you they alt live, net one
it destroyed." That was said to intimi
date me. It had quite the contrary of
feet.
I have never been so fearless nor teen so
clearly before with whom I was dealing.
Coming to me a little later he said, "I
want you to read it; you will find it a vin
dication of yourself. You havo net stood
before the community for five years as you
now do, roused still further by the wick
edness bid behind so false a mask."
lieplicd: "Theodore, understand me,
this is the last lime you shall call me pub
licly to walk through this filth ; my char
acter needs no vindication at this late day
from you. There was (a time, had you
•poke cut clearly, truthfully and manful
ly for me, I bad been grateful, but now I
shall speak and act for myaelf-
"Know also that if in the future 1 tee a
scrap of paper referring to any human be
ing however remote, which it seemt to
me you might use to further your own
ends, I will destroy it"
"This means battle on your pert, then,"
he said.
"Just so far." I replies!.
I wrote this because these word* of tniac
he has since used to my barm.
The next morning I went.to my brother
and told him that now I had decided to
act in this matter; that I had been treated
by my husband as a nonentity from the
beginning—a plaything to be used or let
alone at will, and that it bad always seem
ed to me that I was a party not little con
cerned.
On going home I found my husband
reading in bed. 1 told him where I had
been, and that I did not conceal anything
from him. as his habit was to conceal from
me.
He asked who the gentlemen were, and
said no more. He arose, dressed himself
arid bade me goodbye forever.
The following morning I was awakened
by my husband standing by my bed. In
a very lender voico he said he wished to
see me.
I rose instantly, followed him into his
room, and sitting on the bedside he drew
me into his lap, and said he was proud of
me and loved me, that nothing ever gave
him such real peace and satisfaction as to
hear me well spoken of; that meeting a
member of the committee ho found he had
been mistaken as to my motive in seeing
the committee, and had hastened to assure
me that he had been thoroughly wretched
since his sharp statement to mo the night
before, etc.
Then arid there we covenanted sacredly
our hearts and lives, I most utterly renew
ing my trust in the one human heart I
love.
The next day how happy we were.
Theodore wrote a statement to present to
the committee when they should call upon
him; to all of which I heartily acceded.
This document God knows was a true
history of this uffuir, completely vindica
ting my honor ar.d the honor of my pas
tor.
In the afternoon he left me to show it to
bis friends. He returned home early in
the evening, passing with me the happiest
hours I had known for years, renewed by
assuring me that there was no rest fer him
away from me.
$o in gratified love to the dear Father, 1
slept. Oh, that the end had then come;
I would not then have received the cruel
blow which made a woman mad out
right.
The next morning he called upon our
friends Mr. and Mrs. Ovington and there
with a shocking bravado began and a
wicked tirade, adding with oaths and a vio-
Jface the shameless slanders against Mr.
lUrrlier of which I now bolieve hint to bo
tlio author
Ttiia fearful ncriii 1 learned ilio next
day. In the *ft or noon lie showed mo bi
mi notion from tlio committee to un i t
thorn that owning
I did not than ahow my licarf.but carried
it heavily within, but calmly without, all

Reflecting upon thi. scenu at Mri

That hia drrliritiotn of repentance and

In the light of these conclusions my du
ty appeared plain, I arose quietly, and

UK. HEECHEK S STATEMENT.
1 do not propose thu time a detailed exam
illation ef the remarkable statement of Mr.
Theodore Tilton made before the Commit
tee of rrivestigation, and which appeared
in the Brookly Argus of July 21, 1874 I
recognize the many reasons which make
it of transcendent importance to myslf, the
church, and the ctuse of public morality
that 1 shall give a full answer to the
charges against me. But hav ing requested
tko Committee of Investigation to search
this niattsr to the bottom, it is to them that
1 must look for my vindication
But 1 cannot delay for an hour to defend
the reputation of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Tilton,
upon whose name in connection with mine
her husband has attempted to pour shame
Ona less deserting of such a disgrace I
never knew Froui rlnlibeou sho has
had uiy tince-o aduiirtion and affection 1
cherish for her a pure feeling, such as a
gentleman might honorably offer to a
Christian woman, and which she nvght re
ceive and reciprocate without moral
scruple. 1 reject with indignatiorf every
insinuation which reflects upon I.e.- honor
or uiy own.
My regard for Mrs Tilton was perfectly
well known to my family; when . riout
difficulties sprang up iu her household, it
was to my wife that she resorted for coun
sel ; and both of us, acting from sympathy ,
and as it subsequently appeared, without
full knowledge, gave unadvised counsel
which tended to harm.
I have no doubt that Mr. Tilton found
that bis wife s confidence and reliance up
on nty judgment had greatly increased,
while bis influence had diminished in coa*
sequence of a marked change in his r!:g
--eus and social views, which was
taking place during those rears.
Her mind was greatly exercised
lest her children should be harmed by
views which she deemed vitally false and
dangerous.
1 was suddenly and rudely aroused to
the reality of impending danger by the
disc losure o! domestic distress, of sickness
perhaps unto death, of the likelihood of
separation, and the scattering of a family,
every member of which 1 had tenderly
leved. The effect upon me of the discov
ery of the state of Mr. Tilton s feelings
and the condition of his family, surpassed
in sorrow and excitement anything that I
had ever experienced in my life Thatrny
presence, influence and counsel had
brought tea beloved family ->rrow and
alienation, gave in my then state > f mir.d
a poignancy to nty suffering which I hope
no other man ever may feel.
Even to be suspected of having offered,
under tho privileges of a jieculiarv sarrct
relation, an indecorum to a wife and m.-th
er, could not but deeply wound any one
who is sensitive to the honor of woman
hood. There were peculiar reason* for
alarm in this case en other grounds . inas
much as I was then subject to certain ma
lignant rumors, and a fragrant outbreak
in this family would bring upon them an
added injury derived from these shameless
falsehoods.
Believing at the time that my pre*cr.< e
and counsels had tenJed. howev, r un- >n
sciously. to produce a social catastrephr,
representol a* imminent, 1 gave expres
sion to my feefing* in an interview with a
mutual friend, not in cold an.l cautious,
self-defending word. but eagerly, tak.ng
blame upon myself, and pouring out my
heart to my friend in tho strongest lan
guage, overburdened with the exaggera
tions of impa**ioncd sorrow Had I been
tho evil man Mr. Tilton now represents 1
should have been calmer and more pru
dent. It VM my horro#of the evil impu
ted that filled me with morbid intensity at
the very shadow of it.
Not only was my friend affected gener
ously, but he assured me that such expres
sions, if conveyed to Mr. Tilton, would
sooth wounded feeling, allay anger, nnd
heal the whole trouble. He took down
sentences aad IragmenU of what I had
been saying to use thein as a mediator. A
full statement of the circuinslanees under
which this memorandum was made I shall
give the investigating committee.
That theso apologies were more than am
ple to meot the facts of the case is evident,
in that they wero accepted, that our inter
course resumed its friendless, that Xlr. Til
tori subsequently ratified it in writing, and
that he has continued for four year*, and
until within two weeks, to live with his
wife.
I it conceivable, if the charge
bad been whst is now alleged, that he
would have condoned tho offence nut only
with the mother of bit children, bill with
him whom he believed to have wronged
them? The absurdity a well as the lain
ty of this story is apparent when it i con
sidered that Mr. Tilton new alleges that be
carried this secret of his wife's infidelity
foi six months locked up l?< his own breast,
and that then he divulged it to mo only
that there might ha a reconciliation with
me! Mr. Tilton hat sinco, in every form
of language, and to a multitude ol wit
nesses, orally, in written statements, and
in printed documents, declared his faith in
his wife's purity.
After the reconciliation of Mr. Tilton
with me, every consideration of propriety
and honor demanded that the family
trouble should he kept in that seclusion
which domestic affairs have a right to
claim us asanctury ; and to that seclusion
it was determined that it should he con
lined.
Every word of my private mid confiden
tial letter* which have boon published are
ia harmony with the statements which I
now make. My published correspondence
on this subject comprise* but two ele
ments: The expression of my grid, and
that of my desire to ihield the boner of u
pure and innocent woman,
I do not propose to analyze and contest
at the time the extraordinary paper of Mr.
Tilton ; but there are two allegations which
I cannot permit to pass without special no
tice. They refer to the only two incidents
which Mr. Tilton pretend* to hare wit
nessed personally : the one, an alleged
scene in my house while looking over en
gravings ; and Hie other, a chamber scene
in bisown bouse. His statements concern
ing these are absolutely false. Nothing of
the kind ever occurred, norany semblance
of any such things. They are now brought
to my notice for the first time.
To any statement whfch connects we diet
i honorably with Mrs, Elizabeth It. Tilton,'
or which in anywise would impugn thu
honored purity of thla beloved Christian
woman, I give the moat explicit, compre
| kenxive, and aolemn denial.

THE BOSTON FIEND
Tito l'rrM despatches of vceterday
morning contained the details of the
finding of n body of a young girl in
a cellar in Button, another victim of
the murderous propensities of the boy
fiend, l'onieroy. There arc still three
other small children missing in the
southern environs of Boston, who
have undoubtedly been murdered by
this vouug ficud. The history of this
boy is a strange one, and rends much
more like fiction than the sober (ruth.
11c first came to public notice iur
nig the summer of 1872, when be t r
lured aud mutilated some eight or ten
little boys in (lie moat allocking man
ner, and it was only after half the po
lice force wan on Ida track that he
was detected and committed to the
House of Refuge aud Correction. We
have conversed with a gentleman who
is well acquainted with all the eir
eumstancee of his career in 1872, aud
-who had a long conversation with htm
while he was confined in the Refuge
• for tlio mutilation of hi- little victims
llis mother, Mr*. 11. 11. I'ouieroy.a
' respectable widow, for it number of
iyears kept a luillnrry and notion
store IU iiroadwav, South lbi*loti, and
had managed to give her run a verv
respeetable education. The b v, him
self, who is now sixteen wnia of age,
|is rather remarkable in hi? appear
ance. He has a pleasing and intelli
gent countenance, while nis tight eye
is very prominent and of a glassy
milky color, from which circum
stance the victims of his torture in
1*72 describes! hint a a "large boy
with a white eye." His crimes were
of a remarkable morbid character. He
would, in 1*72, go into the suburban
streets of the city carrying u small
package, and upon meeting a well
dressed boy i-f five or six years, give
him a suut of • money to carry
the package to a given point, generally
in some unfrequented lane or wood.
Young Pomeroy himself would reach
the same point by a different route in
advance of his victim, and as soon
as the boy would reach the place
tho young tieuil would seize
and stiip hi in, tie him to a tree or
telegraph pole, and begin to torture
him systimatically. h> metinics he
would gash his victim with a knife,
and leave him fainting from 1 Of;
blood, to be found hours afterwards bv|
some accidental pa-erliv. At other
limes he would be prepared with
panors o! needles, and after tying up
iiis victim, would till Ji: arms and
legs with ueedles of van u sir- •, fre
quently driving them into the bone.
I*hen again he would vary this system
of torture by taking a heavy liath.r
thong and slitting it, improvise a ca>
o'-nine tails, with which he would ex
coriate his captive.
Torture seeuis to be bis sole object,
and his victim -aid that he was in (in
habit of laughing ami dancing with
dilight while administering it. The
gentleman to whom we have rfecrnd
found him to be a boy of more than
average intelligence, and quite exten
sively read. He asked voting Fume
roy what book* he delighted most in
reading, and he responded promptly
and with evident delight. "The His
tory of King Philip- 's War." This
book details the circumstance* of one
of the mo.-t terrible Indian wars that
occurred during the early settlement
of New Tngland. I'pon reference toj
the book itself, it is found that the
Indians were in the habit of torturing
their captives in much the same way
that l'omeroy tortured the little boy*
who fell into his power.
\\ lien askid it he regarded himself
as an Indian, he replied that he was a
good deal better Indian than King
Philip or any of his waniors. After
being delected, he confessed to all his
crimes, and wit* sentenced to Seven
year* confinement in the House o!
Refuge and Correction. He did not
chafe against the restraints imposed
upon him, but submitted to theiu
cheerfully, acknowledging the justice
of hi* punishment, and apparently
trying to nttone for his revolting
crimes. He was penitent and tracta
bio, and the result was that iu less
than eighteen months ho was pardon
ed out of the Refuge.
11 is morbid nature had evidently
undergone a change during his im
prisonment, from torture to murder,
although he had so skillfully con
cealed his feelings that ho deceived his
keepers and the board of examination.
SomJ five month ago, and a short
time after his release, five small i
children misleriously disappeared,
front the southern portion of the city
of Hoston within two or three weeks.
At length the mangled IHMIV of a boy
named Johnny Millin was found in u
j marsh. The peculiar mauuer of mu
tilation at once fixed suspicion upon
the lad I'omerov and he was nrr sted.j
When charged with the crime, he did|
not deny it, hut said "they ought to
put him some place w In re he could not;
do such things." ile is now awaiting
trial for the murder of the child,
Millin. On Saturday last the mulila-j
ted remains of little Katv Mary Cur
tail was found concealed in the cellar,
of the store room lately occupied by
his mother. The remains of his other
victims have not yet been found.
We regard this as one of the most
extraordinary cases of ciiminality and
depravity that is furuished in the
world's annals. The murderer has no
traits of violence or viciousness about
him. On the contrary he is physical
perfection, with a face beaming over
with kindness. A pleasant smile is
always lingering about the corners of
his mouth, and the peculiarity of his
right eye gives him rather n pleasant
expression, A person would hardly
think him capable of wantonly crush
ing an insect, much less murdering his
own kind by the wholesale.
Of course, the defense in hia ca.-c
will ho insanity. Ami yet it is next
to impossible to detect anything ab
normal in his conversation or notions
while under restraint. He fully real
izes tlio fact tlmt lie is guilty of very
grave crimes, and yet protests tlmt he
is not aware of any motive that would
prompt him to commit them. Hut
that lie is insane, there can be no
doubt, and we think that the key to
his insanity is his enthusiastic study
of King Philip's bloody exploits
among the Colonists. It is clear that
he lins imbibed the idea thnt he is
King Philip and that the helpless vic
tims of his devilishness are Europeans
and Colonists, who are trying to en
croach upon his domain* Upon no
otiier hypothesis can his mania for
murder he accounted for. Taken al
together the story of young Pomeroy
is as interesting us it is terrible, and
1 Jif we mistake not when hit cases cornea
1 ! up for trial before the Ronton criminal
court, it will excite utoro speculation
and comment among jourista ami men
of science, than any raao ever tried lac
iforc in the country.— Pott.

A lew days ago tt poor printer made

atul was (old to go up stairs and go to
work, whereupon the printer* held a
consultation and decided that a* (he
man did not belong to the Typograph

could gel a case, and which the prin
