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.

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.

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."

paper published in Pittsburgh. It is the oldest,
being nearly S 9 years old, and has kept pace with
all the phases of modern newspaper progress. It
is printed with new type, and on clean, white.
handsome paper. Its news is especially full, and
accurate. It receives eaule news from Europe,

and family reading, carefully selected. Thus it
is a family paper of great excellence and rare
cheapness as to price. Its circulation is the lar
