Whal is Wanted--A Town Library.
Why is it that the citizens of this
borough have not instituted a public
library ?is . a question that is often
hsked. We cannot tell, unless it is
they are possessed of the opinion that
they cannot maintain a library. If
this is a reason, we would say, de
spise such a thought; repose more con
fidence in our own and each other's
ability to preserve such an institution
and let us endeavor to obtain all the
benefits that can be derived therefrom.
A public library has;long been one of
the wants of this place, bat we sincere
ly trust that oar citizens will go to
work, and have it so no longer. We
need not repeat all the advantages of
an institution of this kind, as they are
no doubt known to all, but we would
say,—to promote the - advancement of
onr young men in literary knowledge,
and further advanee and insure the
intellectual ;interests of our town, lot
us have at once -a public library, liter
ary society, or smite otfier institution
of like nature. Let us not forgot that
"knowledge hi power."

On Wednesday night last, Mrs. John
White was seriously injured by being
struck by a l6comotive at the crossing
at the upper end of town. Mrs. W.
and others were accompanying her
son Thomas, to the depot to See him
off on his return to the army, in the
11 o'clock train. Just as they came
to the road, a freight train was pas
singdown, and as the last car passed,
Mrs. White steeped for Ward - to cross
the track and was struck • and thrown
off the track by the locomotive of a
train going west, which had ! just ar
rived,at- the crossing unobserved as
the down-train bad.-passed... -Mrs. W.
was badly cut and bruised ,about the
head and, body, but no bones were
broken,, She is recovering slowly.
Just, as wa.Supposed
We,,nnderstand ,that. the many young
boys who have leen accepted into the
service and gone , to Psrlisle are rapid

such would be the treatment they
would receiVe, • and We ' not sorry
that such proves to be the case. We
hope ell the boys thus discharged will
return to- their grieved, .and• anxious
parents ; who could never be made to
believe not ever feel satisfied- that
their youthful and -inexperienced sons
could withstand the, hardships of the
portending vigorous spring campaign.

The Juvenile Concert
We were never better pleased with
a Concert than we were with the one
in the Court House on Saturday night
last. It was given by a class of two

Our "devil" T. Basle* Flood,
who volunteered last... week, writes
from Carlisle on Saturday, that there

that pocket picking was so 'common
there that the "boys" had got used to

them, that they conducted themselves
as soldiers.should. We hope they may
have a good time shooting traitors.
As it used to was.
Our citizens begin to feel at home,
now that that noisy crowd has been
located et Hollidaysburg. We like to
see a crowd occasionally, but to have
it Show in town every day and every
night for weeks, is a little too much of
a "good thing." Hope the citizens of
Hollidaysburg will sleep sound on
their. bargain.

The bad conduct of Young Men.
At every concert, or other gather

A Terrible Tragedy
Fearful Sufferings and Death of Three
Canadians
Mr. John Giscoine, just returned
froM a prospecting tour 350 miles east
of the Rocky ,Alotintains, furnishes a
thrilling account of the fate of three
Canadians, who attempted to cross o
verland to Cariboo. He says :
"While wintering at Fort George, in
LSO, two brothers, Gilbert and Thorn
as Rennie, arrived at that placq,in the
month of December. They were in a
very weak condition, and Thomas had
his foot badly frostbitten." They had
left three of their party on a rock ab
ove Fort. George, with only ten days' .
provisions, and expressed the belief
that they welt dead, as it had taken
them twerity eight days to reach the
Fort. TWo:lnditthe were dispatched
in search of the - men, but they. re
turned in a few hours, stating the
weather was too severe td attempt it
The two Rennies came to Giseortibe's
cabin, and while theit, four - Indians
arrived. Ono of the Rennies, who
spoke French, inquired if they had
seen anything of the missing men, but
no inforMation could bo gained from
them. On the following day they, left
the fort, professing f,O return to the
lake they 'had cane from. Giacotabe
subsequently ledrned that they went
in search of the unfortunate men.
Two of them were still alito, but they
had killed William Rennin . (the broth
er of Gilbert and Thomas), and had
eaten allbut his legs, which they hold
in their hands when found, and were
tearing the raw flesh from the bones.
The lildians were going to light a fire
for.them, but the men drew their pis
tols and they fled. This news did not .
reach the fort until March, and the
Rennies had left in January.
When Mr. G;scome started on his
prospecting - tour,he was induced to
proceed in that irection, as from in
formation procured from the Indians,
ho was afraid they had murdered the
last
.survivor. On :reaching Sal Mon
river, the guide showed great reluct
ance to takinw °
that route, but on be
ing well paid, consented to go. Gis
come found the camp some fifty miles
above Fort George ; everything of va
lue had been carried off by the Indians.
In one corner-of the camp was a small
pile of bones ; among them was a skull
of a young man supposed.: to -be Wm.
Kennie. Some of:the borieS.Were still
bloody, and were charred at the ends.
Giscome
,and his party collected the
bones, dug a grave and buried them.
One of the Indians said the third body
was'-lying some distance outside the
camp, stripped of his clothes, and sev
eral cuts from a hatchet on his head
and bOdy.
At the Indian .camp, on the first
lake, Giscome saw several articles
which the Indians had removed from
the camp, but they would not disclose
anything as to the murder of the sur
vivor. From the statement of the In
dians, and personal inspection made
by Mr. Giscomo and his companions,
ho came to the painful conclusion that
the 'men had• been reduced by cold and
starvation to this last extremities, and
had actually killed and eaten ono an
other. There were,no signs of fires
havino• b been lighted, or wood cut, and
yet they must have existed about ton
weeks; the longest liver having to all
appearance suffered a cruel death at
the hands of the Indians for the sake
of plunder.
A Strange Phenomena.
The Trumpet, published at Eliza
bdthtown, Lancaster county, relates
the following singular phenomena :
-An unnatural phenomena took place
inilapho township, three miles cast
of Mount Joy, on Thursday hist, at
the residence of Martin Idly. His
daughter, aged eighteen years, died a
quarter before eight o'clock. After
the usual ceremonies were attended
to, towards morning the attention of
the mother Was drawn to the corpse,
when she discerned something unusu
al on the lips of the deceased. At.
tempting' to remove it apparently a
voice seemed to say, "Let it remain."
Astonishment caused an examination,
and the fact was, there appeared in
the middle of the lips and teeth, a
complete rose bud ready to open and
on the left side of the bud a full bloo
med rose—what flOrists call, a double
levy rose. On , close examination it
was ascertained that the bud and rose
Were a hard substance to the touch,
and in - appearance like ivory.
It was perceptible that from the
first and last 'nights of the phenomena
it *armed. .
Thoughts Were enter
tained tat the removal of the body to
.
the burying ground (which was in a
hearse and - timr a Mile of rough road)
might cause a separation, but tho bud
and rose still remain •as when first
seen, only increased perceptibly in size.
The rose and`bud were as white as i
vory, and supposed equally as hard.
Many persons were eye-wituesS 9r
thelact,.,.The rose Was very natural,
and thoSe not knoWing the fhet, felt
satisfied that it was a real rose and bud
placed there as an ornament and re
pOrtti caused many to Witness the fact.
The disease of the deceased was
measles ;,a took place attended
with a cold which'caufied her death.
