THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED KURTZ, . . + Editor. ‘Osxtre HALL, Pa, JAN. 14, 1885 aa a — —— ROBBED BY MASKED BURGLARS. Six Persons Tied to Chairs and Compelled to Tell Where the Money is Secreted, Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 24,—~8ix masked men entered the residence of an aged farmer named Harvey Jackson, near Bowerayille, last night. Jackson, his wife and three daughters and Miss Nattie Sirgny were in the room at the time, The robbers were armed with heavy clubs which they had cut in the neighboring grove, and upon entering commanded every one in tha house to keep quiet. Jackson was struck several times over the head with a club, and when his danghter Louise pluckily sprang to his assistance she was met by one of the men, who placed a cocked revolver to her head and threatened to blow her brains ut. ’ The men then tied the whole family to chairs with sheets which they had torn into strips. They then attempted to compel Jackson to tell where his money was concealed, and threatened him with death if he refused. Ope of the men re- marked that he knew that the money was in the house, as he had been under the bed the night befcreand heard Juck- son talking about it. Mra, Jackson's clothing was then saturated with coal oil and after being submitted to various tor- tares the robbers threatened to set fire to her clothing if she did not disclose where the money was, She finally told them that it was in & trank. After trying in vain for sometime to open it they released one of the young ladies who, under compulsion, tried to unlock the trunk. The men, however, had spoiled the lock and she was unable to open it. Becoming impatient at the delay the leader of the gang ordered the men to burst the trunk. This being done they rifled it of its contents and secured $200 in gold and $175 in currency. After the robbers had obtained the money they compelled Jackson to tell where they could find his best horse and buggy, and leaving one man to guard the family the others went for the team. Soon they re- turned, gave the signal and the guard jeft. The family remained tied until nearly morning, when Mrs. Jackson un- tied with her teeth the knots which bound her hands. She released the oth- ers and the alarm was immediately giv- en. It is sapposed that the robbers came towards this city. The horse and boggy were found near Xenia, The hand-car at Harbines station was stolen by them, and with it they continued their flight toward Dayton. A posse of men is scour- ing the country lookiog for tne robbers. - "A FASTING GIRL. In Cincinnati a sixteen-year-old re- coently died after a fast of 52 days.

Dr. Barber was summoned who furnished medical assistance, but has poor hopes of saving the victim.~Middleburg Post. A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

A great bargain, tH MAI AA Se +t von want lo save blasikets and haps, go 10 the Bes Hive + A STRANG MYSTERY. After many years the sequel to a strange story has been learned. Bince 1857, a M. Angoit, carrying on business as a commission agent in Paris, had dis- appeared mysteriously and under very extraordinary circumstances, It is re- lated that on a certain January morning in that year he was married, the wedding breakfast taking place at a restaurant in the Palais Royal. While it was prooeed- ing, the bridegroom was informed by a water that a coachman down stairs desired to speak with him, and he left the table, the guests expecting him to return in a few minutes. He was never heard of from that day, the last that was seen of him being at the entranoce of the restaurant, where 2 cab was waiting, which he entered, bareheaded, and in his wedding snit. All the endeavors of the police, all the efforts of his friends and disoonsolate wife to obtain tidings of him, were utterly fruitless, and the latter, resuming her maiden name, went to reside with her sister. Recently, however, a sportsman, while in the mountains near Seo d'Urgel, killed an animal which fell into s deep crevice, He went after it, and then came upon a still hanging. an envelope bearing the name, M.

He was in many respects the most im- portant. Not only does he use more woodents and employ more wood cutters than any other, but he himself is the most typical printer of all his contem- poraries, presenting visibly in the pro. dnetions of his press the various signs of progress or decsy which marked the arts of tue printer or the wood culier. He seems to stand out as a real man from among the ghostly assemblage of his contemporaries, who are to ns names and little more. But Leeu is a reality. He is a man with whom we can to some extent sympathize, becanse he makes himself visible to us, working in a quite nnderstandable fashion, learning first from one brother printer and then from another, borrowing cuts from one man, lending them to another, selling off his old types to a less successfiil office, mov. ing about, like many of his contem- poraries, to find the best scene of opera. tion, evidently preserving relations with more than one foreign printer—visibly an energetic, hard-working man above most, a passionate man withal, as we may chance to find ont—a man, at any rate, worth turning our glass on in this distant assembly, —— BA Irs. A —— ARTIFICIAL DIMPLES. Artificial dimples are all the rage in Chicago. One lady displays two dimples on either arm. The genius to whom she submitted herself first placed a small glass tube over the spot where the dim. ple was desired. By sucking the air out of the tube he raised a slight proin. berance and thon deftly tied round it a bit of scarlet silk. With a * wicked. looking knife” he sliced oft this little pimple he had raised. The wound was quickly bound up and an inverted silver cone was placed over it so as to) press down exactly into the centre of it.

AEN Bl A SN An extra, Ascount of 10 on all Bee Scientific, There is a sort of vine which grows in QOochin China from a tuberous root. Its stem dies down annually in November, and shoots out again in March. From its fruit a kind of wine is produced, which M. Bambue has examined, and has found its acidity to be high. Dr. F. Svenonius, who has been en | gaged in studying and measuring the glaciers in Norrland for the last two years, reports that there are about a hundred glaciers in. Sweden, but that they are very small, covering in all an area not above nine Swedish square wiles, When caoutehoue tubes are badly val. cavized, the experience of M. Limousin leads him to say that they are very dan- gerons in some chemical operations, the {presence of sulphur and of antimony sulphide rendering them especially so in the preparation of oxygen gas. Experiments made for the purpose of testing the influence of pulps and other {artificially prepared foods on cow's milk {by MM. Andousrd and V.

But it has { been found far from easy to make me- { chanieal take the place of natural means { in this art. M. Dieunlalait ascribes the origin of the phosphates of lime in the southwest of France to the action of saline waters during the tertiary epoch, analogous to, if not identioal with, those of the lagoons of the present time. The saline and concentrated waters of these lagoons, which certainly existed in tertiary times, | performed a twofold function in the pro. duction of the natural phosphates of lime. In the first place they attacked | the limestone rocks far more nctively than ordinary water could have dome, and then they contributed directly phos- phoric acid, which is still being deposited in the shallow lagoons of the Rhone delta. Signor B. Ricco, of Palermo, makes a powerful magnet in this manner: He rolls a long band of sheet iron around a nucleus of soft iron, insulating the dif. ferent layers of the band with oiledy paper. One pole is connected with the nucleus, to which the interior extremity of the band is soldered. and the other is connected with the exterior extremity. The current in traversing the band mag- netizes not only the nucleus, but also each layer of the band, which thus plays the double part of conducter and mag- netio substance, thereby condensing the lines of foree and producing a great con. centration of power. More than two yoars ago a magnet substantially the game was constructed by a well-known chemist and expert in electricity in the city of New York, a description of which was withheld at time in case it might in. terfore with the granting of foreign pat- ents for his invention.
