See that Old Santa Claus makes a fair divide with them. Their hearts should be made glad also. We wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ! 1 We publish a full report of the killing of the abductors of little Charlie Ross. The latest supposition is that the poor little fellow was drowned sometime in November last. A body of a boy was found, and it is known that his abductors were in the neighborhood in which the body was fund about the time. The ter rible fate of these men ought to put a stop to this kind of transgression. tgL. The Pennsylvania Republican As sociation, at Washington, D. C., will give a series of sociables in that city, during the present winter, in the interest of the Centennial Exposition. The first of the series was held on the evening of the 22d inst., the President and Cabinet, Gover nor Hartranft and staff and our Senators and Representatives being among the guests. It was no doubt a brilliant affair. The second and third sociables will be held on the evening of January 13th and February 10th, 1875. Charlie Ross' Abductors. A Night Baltic—Description of the Attack of the Burglars on Iran Brunt's house and their Tragic Death. On the eastern side of the Upper Bay, within about half a mile from the Narrows, the Long Island shore rises into an uneven and beautifully wooded bluff, known as Bay Ridge. Along its sides and summit nestle a large number of villas .and cot tages, most of them the summer residences of wealthy citizens, and many the perma nent dwellings of farmers and people whose business in the city is of such a character as to enable them to leave their stores or offices at an early hour of the af ternoon. VAN BRUNT'S RESIDENCE On one of the headlands, about a mile from the landing, stands two handsome dwellings, one an old fashioned, but well preserved house of the Long Island pattern ) and the other of the more modern style of country villas. The latter is the resi dence of Mr. J. Holmes Van Brunt, broth er of Judge Van Brunt, now presiding in the Supreme Court, part 11, New York county court house, and the other is used as a summer residence by the Judge him self, who was born beneath its roof, and continues to retain possession of it. The houses are separated only by a small piece of boundry lawn. When the Judge was closing up his house at the end of the sea son, he very prudently furnished it with a burglar alarm telegraph, which conveys information of the slightest interference with any of its doors or windows into the bedroom of Mr. Holmes Van - .brunt, in the adjoining house. THE ALARM SPRUNG On Monday morning at two o'clock, this alarm bell rang the changes violently.— Mr. Van Brunt and his wife and daughter were awake and heard it, the old gentle man being on a bed of sickness and gener al wakefulness, from which he has suffered for two or three weeks, and the ladiee be ing in attendance on a sick child. Up stairs and asleep was Mr. Albert Van Brunt, a grown up son of the old gentle man whom Miss Van Brunt called imme diately. When he came down stairs, the father said : "Albert, go over and see what has sounded that alarm ; I guess the wind has blown open one of those blinds again"—an occurrence which bas more than once before caused the bell to ring. THE FLICKERING LIGHT, Albert complained a little about having to step down and out all alone, but re membering the old gentleman's illness, he went nevertheless, first taking the precau tion to put a pistol in 'his pocket. Ap proaching his uncle's house he nuticed a flickering light through the blinds of one of the windows. Then he returned to his own house, told his father about the light, procured a lantern for himself and went to wake up William Scott, the judge's garden er, who lived in a cottage close by. A RECONNOISSANCE. On their way baCk Scott and Albert made another reconnoiscance, and ascer tained that more than one man was in the house with the light. They then went to the barn and awoke Herman Frank, the hired man, whom they enrolled in their force. Placing his little squad on watch— one man in front and the other behind the judge's house—Mr. Albert Van Brunt re turned to his father once more and report ed. By this time the old man felt-as it' he should "make an effort" and he made it. Though suffering excruciatingly from an inward pain, be got out of bed and dressed himself. He and Albert gathered what guns and pistols were in the house and went forth into the darkness. When be got a few yards beyond his own stoop he saw the light in the other house and made up his mind that he had "business" before him. A SHREWD PLAN OF ATTACK. jic sent his son to call the gardner and the hired man to him and when they came be said : "Now, boys, we have work to do, and must understand each other. We mast capture these fellows, if we can, without killing them ; but if they resist we'll *I:3- fend ourselves. Albert, you and Scott stand before the front door; Frank and I will take the rear; and whatever happens afterward, let us remain in the position we take up; because if we move around we'll be certain to shoot each other in t 1,2 lark instead of the enemy. Whichev, they conic, let the two who meet them take care of them as best they can. if they come out and scatter both ways, then wo'll all have a chance to work." EDITOR THE POSITION Albert and the gardener went to the front, as directed, and the old gentleman and his hired man took up a position clese to the rear entrance. The night was pitchy dark, cold and wet. The watchers waited patiently for nearly an hour, whila tho in truders went through every room in the house searching for booty, with the rays from their dark lanterns flashing now and then through the chinks in the shutters. At length they came down from the h+so - floor and into the pantry. Through the window of this little apartment Mr. Van Brunt could see the hard-bunking faces of the two burglars distinctly. Ile could hove shot them down then and there in perfect safety for himself and his com panions; but he still wished to refrain from taking life until lie 'could be eiTtain that they would show deadly reqi':tanee. Ile did not wish, he said, to kill them in the house, nor in any other way than by self-defense. They left the pantry and went into the dining-room, where they de layed long enough to make the witehers think they meant to remain all night. But the cold and damp air of the inclement night soon began to tell on the elder Van Brunt, and he could stand the waiting on longer. Finding he was growing numb and weak he determined to "push things," and standing in front of the back dorir he ordered the hired man to open it quietly. Frank proceeded to obey, but in trying to get the key into the keyhole he made a noise, which the burglars heard. Their light went out immediately and their foot steps were heard descending the cellar stairs. THE BATTLE BEGINS. Mr. Van Brunt and his man moved to ward the trap door of the cellar. This was soon opened and the body of a man pro truded, fbllowed by the head of another. Mr. Van Brunt cried out, "Stand !" and called to his son and companions to remain still and "look out." In response to his command two pistol shots from the cellar door flashed almost in his face, but nothing hit him. Ile then leveled his revolver at the foremost man and pulled and a cry of agony followed. The other man fired at him a second time and then ran toward the front of the house. Ile dashed almost into the arms of young Van Brunt, at whom he fired two more shots, luckily missing him also. The fellow having to go between Al bert and the white wall the latter could see the arm raised for another shot, but before it could be fired the arm was struck down and broken near the elbow by a blow from Mr. Van Brunt's gun, which was also smashed. THE BATTLE ENDS, Changing the pistol to his left band and calling his adversary a vile name, the burglar attempted to fire again, but bef)re he could do so, young Van Brunt had whipped out 11;s revolver and sent a bul!et into his would-be murderer's breast.— The burglar staggered, received another bullet in his head, and fell. Meanwhile the villain from whom the elder Mr. Van Brunt's bullet had brought the howl of pain, continued to fire away in the dark, and the hired man replied with a discharge from his shot gun. In phort, as far as any of the survivors can now remember, the fusillading here became general, the only thing positively known of the semd or trird shot being the gratifying fact that while none of the defenders of the judge's property were hurt, the two burg lars were literally riddled with bullets. One was stone dead, with his empty sev en-shooter under his head, the other lived until five o'clock—about two hours. TILE BODIES IDENTIFED, Walter Ross was taken into the ro)m the Morgue, where the bodies of Mosier and Douglass lay. No one asked him any questions, or by hint or inuendo of any kind gave him an inkling, of the reason of his being brought there. Each of the bodies were shown him, being slowly un covered and left exposed. His recognition of Mosier, the older of the two burglars, was slow and g radual , his memory reviving by degrees, but the instant he saw the body of the younger man he said : "Oh, that's awful like him; he's the driver," meaning the driver of the buggy. These exclamations came quick, spontaneous, and with an earnestness that was as convinein" , as it was impressive. Subsequently he said : "lle"—pointing to Douglass, alias Clark—"was the one that gave me the money to buy the fire-crackers." Again he said : "He was the one that gave me the candy, and the other one," pointing to Mosier, "he sometimes had candy, too." A CORROBORATION, Among others who went from German town to idensify the bodies, was Peter Cal laghan. He is employed in the residence adjoining that of Mr. Ross, on Washing ton lane, and described two men whom he had seen suspiciously hovering in the vi cinity for some time. He positively recog nized the body of Douglass, alias Clark, as that of the driver of the buggy be had seen in the vicinity of the Ross residence prior to the kidnapping, and expressed himself as strong in the belief that the body of Mosier was that of the driver's companion at the time. Letter from Osceola. OSCEOLA MILLS, CLEARFIELD CO., 1 December 14th, 1874. EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL—Dear Sir :—la the course of a ramble through Clearfield county I visited the Moshannon Mining region. Not withstanding the general prostration of busi ness through the country, I had the pleasure of observing an exception in one locality.— Along the Goss Run Branch Railroad much activity prevails, and as the operations carried on there are chiefly by Huntingdon men, I deemed it proper to send this communication to the JOURNAL. The following parties, namely, Whitehead & Jacobs, Fishers & Miller and David Blair, Esq., purchased coal lands in Woodward township and proje - qed a branch railroad, about two miles in length, in order to get access to the ,market for their coal. These parties were joined in their undertaking by Thomas & Co., who had leased a large tract of land from Dr. Houly's heirs. When arrangements were made for begin ning the work, Mr. John Whitehead was ap pointed manager for constructing the road, and tha energetic manner in which he pushed it to successful completion proved the ap pointment to have been judiciously made. On the 15th of May, Mr. Frazier, the engi neer, commenced the survey and located a line, passing through lands belonging to an extensive coal operator. This location was made to suit a point where it was proposed to open a mine, the owner having agreed, if that were done, to bear his proportion of the expense of construction. However, he now, instead of assisting to build the road, refused even to give the right of way through his property. It was, therefore, determined to run a line keeping off this unfriendly neint bor's property altogether. Another line W",..fs located, but it seemed as if the change was only from bad to worse, for it went through a number of village lots, for which the owners demanded exhorbitant prices. However, after much troublesome negotiating, and paying excessive damages, the right of way through the town lots was secured. When it was supposed that the serious ob stacles in the way were overcome, trouble came from another quarter The located line passed 2700 feet through the Beaver Branch Coal Co's. laud, who had previously consen ted to grant the right of way on reasonable terms. They now refused to do so, and as it would seem, determined to put a stop to the enterprise altogether, commenced building the new town of Shillingsford on the located line. Mr. Whitehead was then obliged to ap ply to Court for the right of way. After the viewers were appointed a final attempt was made to come to terms with the Company and thereby save the delay and trouble that would be incurred in putting the matter through Court. The result was that the B. B C. Co. prepared an arrangement which. though im posing rather too much on Whitehead and his associates, to save further delay in prosecu ting the work, they accepted. A third loca Lion had, therefore, to be made, and in com pliance with the terms of arrangement the line had to be lengthened about 1000 feet to reach a point where the B. B. C. Co.preparcd to open on their property. After this the work was prosecuted without interruption, and with so much vigor that on the 30th of November last the first train of twenty cars of coal was shipped from Whitehead and Jacobs' colliery. Their average shipments since have been seventeen cars per day, and they have a good prospect of doubling the capacity in a short time. This is remarkable progress, considering that the drift was only commenced on the sth of July last. The coal is from five to six feet thick and of a superior quality. Fishers & Miller's work will be in operation in a short time. The iron is now laid on their sidings, and their chutes, tram-roads and underground works are well advanced. The coal is similar in character to Whitehead k Jacobs', the opening being in the same seam. Mr. Blair's property is leased by Dr. George Mears, who is putting up the improvements, and will, in a few weeks, be prepared to ship coal. This mine is also on the same seam, and the quality of the coal equally good. The improvements for operating these mines are of a substantial character and designed with a view to handle coal with facility and dispatch. This will enable the operators to put the coal in the cars at a minimum cost, and the quality of the coal being so good, the prospects are favorable for these operations proving highly successful. Yours respectfully, __....._..... A CARD TO THE PUBLIC —A AS'llort Postponenzent 0 . / the Fifth Gift Concert.— As manager of the gift concerts given in aid of the Public Library of Kentucky, my position creates an important trust in behalf of the Public Library- and the ticket-holders of the fifth gift concert. The Public Library of Kentucky and the ticket-holders are jointly interested in the amount of the drawing The larger the fund to be distributed in gifts, the greater will be the gift awarded to each lucky ticket-holder and the more the amount re alized by the Library. To have a full drawing is so manifestly to the interest of those interested, that, rather than to have a fractional drawing on the 30th inst., I deem it due to the trust confided to me by the ticket-holders and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a short postponement be made to enable me to dispose of the unsold tickets and have a full drawing. Though the wry large amount now in bank would enable us to distribute hand some gifts, yet we should feel disappointed in this our last concert, should we be com pelled to make a fractional drawing, how ever large. We have received so very large a num ber of letters front ail parts of the country from those most largely interested, urging a postponement if all the tickets be not sold by the 30th, that we feel strengthened in our sense of duty to the ticket-holders and the Public Library, to make the post ponement. Under the circumstances, we have determined, in the interest of all parties, to postpone the concert and draw. ing to Saturday, February 27, 1875, at which time the drawing will positively take place ; and, as a guarantee of good faith toward ticket-holders, we pledge our selves to refund to any ticket-holders his money, upon presentation of his ticket, should the drawing fail to conic off at the day now fixed. The past, we feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee to all interested that they will be fairly and honestly dealt with. The money paid for tickets is sa credly preserved against all contingencies until after the payment of the gifts, after which the expenses arc to be reimbursed and the Public Library to be paid its profits. THOS. E. BRAMLETTE. Agent and Manager. Nov. 29, 1874 THE huge, drastic, griping, sickening pills, constructed of crude, course and bulky ingredients, are fast being ea persoded by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, er Sugar-coated, Concentrated Root and Herbal Juice, Anti- Bilious Granules—the "Little Giant" Cathartic or Nultum in Parro Physic. Modern Chemical Science enables Dr. Pierce to extract from the juices of the most valuable roots and herbs their active medicinal principles, which workod into little Pellets or Granules, scarcely larger than mustard seed, renders each little Pellet as active and pow erful as a large pill, while they are much more palatable and pleasant in effect. Dr. IRA A. THAYER, of Baconsburg, Ohio, writes : "I re gard your Pellets as the best remedyifor the conditions for which you prescribe them of anything I have ever used, so mild and certain in effect, and leaving the bowlee In an excellent condition. It seems to mu they must take the piece of all other cathartic pills and medicines." LYON & MACOXJ36II, druggists, Vermillion, D. T., says : "We think they are going to sell like hot cakes as soon as people get acquainted with them and will spoil the pill trade, as those that have used them like them much better than large pills."
