The Picnic Ulcers.
The pie-pocket, thief and other hard
cases were in attendance at the picnic
last week, to lend it variety.
A fellow who had purchased an over.
coat at Montgomery's stand, stole another
at night, and being accused, at once
owned up, surrendering the garment.
Some admirer of the war governor, on
Thursday stole Gov, Curtin’s overcoat,
of over $300.
Mr. Knarr, of Millheim, had his pock-
et picked of $17.
A Mr. Keller, from west of towa, had
his pocket relieved of a considerable sum
of change.
Another, whose nawe we did not learn
found the exchequer of his breeches
minus $40 when he needed some stamps.
A fellow had his watch stolen, and his
brother saw the thief run; he followed
him to the dancing stand and made him
deliver up the watch. There were nine
other watches on his person. In place
of handing him over to the police he was
let go with the “nine.”
On Saturday morning a discovery was
made of an attempt to fire Mr, Miigle’s
house, A small box, filled with straw
saturated with turpentine, was found ua-
der the porch ofthe house, and along
side of it two paint cans with oil, The
box showed evidence of having had a
lighted fuse, which charred a small spot
on the box and then went out. The
idea no doubt was to start an alarm of
fire during the night, draw the crowd to
the place of fire, sud then the rascals
would find a favorable opportunity to
rob some of the stores,

Narrow Escape.
The Renovo News says: “ When Erie
would be safe to cross or mot. After
minutes consultation the crew
had about concluded to cross. Return”
iog to the train with that end ia view,
but alas! about the time they reached the
train they heard a crash, and away went
th e bridge lo the flood. Just imagine
what a narrow escape from death and a
watery grave that was. Had it held two
minutes longer the whole train, crew and
pessengers would have been swept away,
Reckless Driving.
During the picnic many barrow es
capes from serious injury were made by
visitors and others from reckless and
fast driviog oo the picnic ground asd on
our streets. At the picnic Thursday
afternoon the police arrested two young
men for fast driving through the drives.
Many narrow escapes were made and
they kept it up until pulled,
On Tharsday evening a geatleman,
while sitting io his buggy at the stock
shed, was run into by a party who were
driving furiously, was thrown out an?
seriously injored. The man was picked
up and given assistance and was able to
proceel to his home, though considera«
