EXAMINE YOUR HALF DOLLARS.—"A
bogus half dollar has been received at the
!dint Bureau in Washington which puzzles
the oldest experts. Its workmanship simu
lates the genuine original so exactly that an
analysis of the coin had to be made. Their
infallible test showed that the coin was a
clever compound ; there was found very little
silver, a good deal of antimony for weight,
and a small quantity of glass for sound or
ring." Trade dollars made in precisely the
same way have been put in circulation in the
western cities, particularly Cincinnati. These
coins may be detected by persons of a delicate
touch ; they all have a greasy feel when rub

SUNDAY'S HORROR.--A Railroad
Brakeman Cut Into Small Pieces Yesterday
Morning—A Most Terrible Fate.—lf we lived
in an age of superstition the idea that is grow
ing upon our citizens, that when one man
meets a violent death on the railroad it is
followed in quick succession by three or four
more fatal accidents, would not be a matter
of wonder. E.en to day if such a feeling is
indulged by our people it need scarcely be a
matter of surprise, for the history of the past
six months would seem to verify it. A short
time ago, within a period of a week, no less
than four men were accidentally killed, and we
have two more horrible deaths to chronicle
within the past five days. The death yester
day of Isaac Ettien is shadowed with mystery.
While it occurred on the railroad there is a
question as to whether it can be credited to
the list of casualties caused by connection
with railways. There was no projection by
which he conld have been struck along the
line of the road between the place where blood
was first dis!overed and the station where his
remains were found.
But to the particulars, as near as it has been
able to ascertain them : Isaac Ettien was a
brakeman on the First National line freight,
and the train left this place for the east about
4 o'clock yesterday morning. About au hour
and a half later, when the train stopped at
Spruce ('reek, blood was noticed upon the
bumper of a car, and it was then that Ettien
was missed from his post. An investigation
was commenced, when it became known to
the authorities in this city, under the direction
of James H. Cramer, despatcher. The first
sign of blood along the railroad track was
found at Fostoria, and it was followed up
until within half a mile from Elizabeth Fur
nace station, and then for about two hundred
yards portions of the dead man's body were
found scattered along the track in particles
the largest of which were, according to Mr.
Cramer, no bigger than a man's two hands.
The remains were gathered into a small box
and brought back to this city, where they
were put into a coffin by Undertaker Tipton
and sent to the late home of the deceased at
Harrisburg on the Atlautic express train at
6:15 o'clock.
Previous to the removal of the remains to
this city an inquest was held at Fostoria con
ducted by 'Squire John Gheer. A jury—con
sisting of lessrs. Louis Boyer, John D. Miller,
Levi Stahl, W. C. Forrester, Conrad Emler and
Tobias Kreider—was impaneled. As none of
the train hands were present no testimony
was taken, and the inquest was adjourned
until this afternoon, at Bellwood. Enough
remained of the face of the dead man to enable
William Barger to recognize him as Ettien.
Barger will be called as a witness to-day.
A theory advanced by Mr. Cramer is that
Ettien may have met his death at the hands
of tramps—or rather that tramps may have
been the primary cause. The fact that blood
was traced for so long a distance before the
first piece of the man's body was found would
indicate that be had lain upon the car, the
blood flowing from a wound probably received
by being struck in the head with a stone. Mr.
Cramer says the tramps often stone the train
hands. Granting this idea to be correct, Et
tien was knocked down on the top of a car
and lay there, the blood meanwhile flowing
from his wound, until a lurch of the train
threw him between the cars to the track, with
the shocking result detailed.
Another theory—induced by the finding of
a piece of the breast in which a cut was to be
seen just at the top of the breast bone which
appeared to have been made by a knife—is
that tramps may have been on Ettien's car
and In the endeavor to put them off he was
murdered. As the watch he was supposed to
carry could not be found the theory of murder
and robbery is thus strengthened.
Isaac Ettien was between 38 and 40 years
old, and had a wife and family in Harrisburg.
Mr. Cramer says there are six children in the
family, while others think there are as many
as eight.—Altoona Tribune, of Monday.
SPORTING NOTES.—
A Cambria county fisherman saw four
wolves during one day's trouting along one
of the mountain streams,
Our old editorial friend, Frysinger, of the
Lewistown Gazette caught a bass, one day last
week, which measured 17f inches in length.
Three hundred and ten eels and eight bush
els of fish were caught, the other day, when
the water was drawn from the Woodbury
dam, in Bedford county.
We are fully satisfied that the bass caught
around the piers of the bridges are watching
spawning beds, and that thousaads of young
bass will thus be destroyed.—Lewistown Ga
zette.
Our typo friend, Kean, of the Bedford In
quirer, seems to be the boss fisherman in that
neck o' woods. Last week he succeeded in
taking some monster bass from the waters of
the RAystown Branch, one of which weighed
three pounds and a quarter.
Elmer Brown, Harry Brown, Jim Africa and
Ed. Wharton start to Bear Meadows to day for
a week of hunting and fishing. Their habita
tion will be a tent constructed by themselves.
Lieut. T. B. Reed, of Lewistown, will join
them at the meadows.—News of Monday.
The Bellefonte Watchman, of last week, says:
Sheriff Irvin, of Iluntingdon, was out fishing
recently and says he "caught a fine string.''
We used to do that often. And we not only
caught strings, both fine and coarse, but we
caught old alines and sticks and tin cans, and
every other confounded thing in the strews
except fish.
Persons who are interested in the stocking
of our streams with fish should remember that
evening is the best and only safe time to
deposit the small fish, and marshy places
should always be selected for the purpose.
The reason given for this is : The marshy
places afford the little fishes hiding places,
and being deposited in the evening, they have
ample time during the night to select places
for their concealment before the large fish
discover that they are about. A gentleman
named D. W. Lyon, of New York State, who
has had experience in the cultivation of fish,
furnishes us with this information.—Tyrone
Herald.
The Annual Convention of the Penna. State
Sportsman's Association was held at Wilkes
barre, on June 11th, at the club rooms of
Wyoming Valley Hotel. The Huntingdon
county club was represented by T. it . Herder
son, W. W. Dorris and T. C. Fisher. The
officers elected for the ensuing year were, B.
F. Dorrance, President ; W. C. Macrum, Treas•
urer ; W. W. Dorris, Corresponding Sect etary.
Huntingdon was decided upon as the place to
hold the next convention, on the third Tues
day in June, 1879.
On Wednesday all the visiting sportsmen
and invited guests, whom they wished to ac
company them, were invited to an entertain.
ment of rifle hooting, pigeon shonting—for
which 500 wild pigeons were provided--and
glass ball shooting, at the charming grounds
of that exceedingly pleasant gentleman, Gen.
Oliver. An elegant collation was served, and
every one appeared, for the day, to have bid
farewell to trouble and care. The many
heads present crowned with silver locks,
testi
fled to the fact that old age does not lessen
the love of the sports of the field and forest.
In the rifle shooting Sheriff Henderson came
out fourth. W. W. Dorris killed seven pigeons
out of ten. In the summary of the pigeon
shooting. Mr. Eby, of Wyoming Valley, was
first, having killed all his birds. Mr. Clabough
was second, and Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia,
and T. C. Fisher tied for third place. Taking
in to consideration the little practioe our del
egates have had at trap shooting, they have
every reason to be gratified with the result, as
there were some fifty competitors. Our re
presentatives all agree that they never expe
rienced such unlimited hospitality and enter
tainment as they received from the' sportsmen
of Wilkesbarre, and will leave nothing undone
to reciprocate next year.
SERMON ON FLOWERS.—Rev. A. Nelson
Hollifield preached a sermon in the Presbyte
rian church yesterday morning from the text,
"Consider the lilies," (Matt., 6:28). The pul
pit had been beautifully decorated the day
previous with flowers, ferns and evergreens,
and as the sermon was designed to impress
the children with a love for all of God's works,
the scholars of the Sabbath school were
arranged in front of the speaker. As they
filed out of the chapel into the church, many
of them dressed in white, with small boquets
in their hand, the sight was qua that gladden
ed the heart at the beholder. The speaker
referred to the lessons of God's wisdom, skill,
goodness, power and glory, as taught by the
flowers, and dwelt upon the fact that they
also reveal God and his great love to human
kind. In the evening he preached from the
text "I am the rose ofSharon." The exercises
were interspersed with singing of appropriate
hymns by the children.—News.

A BOLD ROBBERY !
The Hawn Brothers Robbed in Daylight!
$4OOO Worth of Mortgage Bonds Stolen !
A "JOURNAL" REPORTER VISITS THE SCENE I
Another of those bold and daring attempts
at robbery, involving personal violence and
outrage, which so often shock the community,
was perpetrated on Wednesday, the 19th inst.,
in Juniata township, within six miles of this
place. The victims of this dastardly attempt
were the Hawn brothers, residing at Dawns'
bridge, nu the Raystown branch, well-known
for their peculiarities of life and habits, and
being reputed to be wealthy. It has been sup
posed, with some good reason, that for several
years past they have kept their money, or a
part of it, in their house, being distrustful of
banks and the other usual depositories. It
was the reputation they acquired in this re
spect that.placed both their lives and wealth in
jeopardy.
The Ilawn family consists of four bachelor
brothers, all of them aged men, the youngest
not much under seventy and the oldest ap
proaching or over ninety, and a hired man and
a woman named Katie Bush. One of the
brothers has been insane since early in life,
and has not been visible to the public for
more than fifty years.
At the time the robbery was attempted,
John, the oldest, who is in very feeble health,
and Isaac, who has been sick for two months
past and was just recovering, and Katie Bush,
were in or near the house. Between 1 and 2
o'clock on the day mentioned, two men made
their appearance at the door, not being ob
served until they entered. They at once at
tacked John, knocking him down and kicking
him, and, while not inflicting serious injury,
doing such damage as, in his weak condition,
to entirely disable {lira from making resis
tance. One of them, after some words with
Katie, caught hold of her and had with her a
violent scuffle, and although Katie says, "he
wrss strong and I was strong, too," he suc
ceeded in throwing her to the floor, her head
striking with some force. The other, who was
not then engaged in looking after the in
mates, had proceeded to search the house
for the money and other valuables which
were the object of their visit. Katie was
brave and fearless, and refused to suc
cumb to the villain who was attempting to
reduce her to submission. Wresting herself
loose from him, she ran out at the back door
and gave the alarm to Isaac, who was near by.
He went to the front of the house and was met
at the door by the one with whom Katie had
the contest, the other by this time having gone
up stairs. He struck Isaac in the face, ins -
niediatey under the right eye, with a pistol,
and the blow, in his generally helpless con
dition, would have been sufficient to have pre
vented him from interfering with the assailants.
But Katie had made speed to where some men
were at work on the road, about half a mile
from the house, and communicated to them
what had occurred. They ran as rapidly as
possible, and when within sight, the one who
remained down stairs gave the signal to his
companion, and they left the house. They
were pursued by the workmen, about ten iu
number, a short distance, when one of them
turned and commenced to empty the contents
of his revolver in the direction of the pursuers.
The latter were unarmed and being much ex
hausted by their long run, could not follow
further with safety, and the two men were
soon lost from sight in the woods.
The effort to obtain money was an entire
failure. Boxes and bureau drawers were ran
sacked, both down stairs and up. They found
in one place down stairs about nine dollars
in greenbacks and a small bag containing a
few dollars in silver. These were taken up
stairs by the one who went to that part of the
house, and thrown upon a bed, whilst further
search was being made. In his haste on learn
ing of the approach of the workmen, he neg
lected to take them again and they remained
after his departure. Some bonds and mortgages
and other personal securities were found by
the robbers and carried away. The exact
amount is not known, but is probably five or
six thousand dollars. As the mortgages are
recorded and judgments entered ou some of
the other securities, the loss to the Hawns
will not be great even if the papers are never
recovered, while they will be of no value to
their present holders.
When our reporter visited the Hawn resi
dence, about nine o'clock that evening, the
family was seated at supper, both John and
Isaac being able to partake of their evening
meal as usual, and to move around afterwards,
the only change from their ordinary demeanor
being the unavoidable excitement resulting
from such a sudden and unexpected attack.
Isaac's face was bruised and cut and John was
much hurt by the blows and kicks, but their
injuries are slight compared with those that
might have been inflicted.
The people of Juniata township and this
borough were shocked by the outrage. Intel
ligence of it did not reach this place until six
o'clock in the evening, and reports were at
first much exaggerated. A few persons went
from here to ascertain to what extent the rob
bers had succeeded, and to offer any assistance
to the family that might be needed. Our re
porter was accompanied by Sheriff Irvin, B.
F. Isenberg, Dr. Ballantyne and Dr. G. L. Robb.
Chief-of-Police Westbrook was also on hand,
as wide-awake and vigilant as ever.
Two men were seen by a lady, about 4
o'clock in the afternoon, on the ridges south
east of Huntingdon, who acted in a suspicious
manner, and who are supposed to have been
the men. Sheriff Irvin also made two arrests
at the railroad station of parties who are
suspected of knowing something of the matter.
The roads through Juniata township were
picketed during the night, squads of men fully
armed being stationed at the cross-roads and
at the mouths of the hollows where the men
would be likely to come to cross the river,
but even this watchfulness did not result in
the arrest of the principals.
FORT WORTH, TEXAS, JUNE 12th,
1878—Ma. NASH—Dear Sir:—As I have been
here long enough to take a limited survey of
the surroundings of this part of Texas, I
thought I would drop you a few lines in regard
to things generally. Well,as regards the chan
ces for making money here, they are good in
comparison with the east; I mean persons with
a small capital, say a capital of from $l,OOO to
$1,500. This amount of means will start a
man in this country so that be can become in
dependent if he invests it la land. This is the
most beautiful country that man ever set eyes
upon ; yott can raise anything you plant. I
was out in the country yesterday, as I am ev
ery day except Sabbath, and I was astonished
at the immense crops of wheat which are now
being thrashed out. I saw growing upon one
farm, corn, oats, millet, cotton, potatoes—both
sweet and common,—peas, beans, cucumbers,
canteloupes, watermelons, pea nuts, peaches
apples, cherries and strawberries. The land
is a black loom, sandy soil from three to eight
feet in depth, and it will never wear out. In
place of saving the straw for tertiliaing, as
the farmers do in the east, they burn it up to
get it out of the way. They have been eating
new corn and vegetables of all kinds here for
weeks back. This is the country for farmers.
You can get land here as level as the levelest
streets in Huntingdon, and not a atone on the
one hundred acres. The farmers here do not
use barns ; they thrash the grain out in the
field and put it in granaries. They never put
up feed for cattle or stock of any kind but let
the stock run and feed on the grass on the
prairie.
Now as regards the people. I always thought
that to take the people of Huntingdon, as a
general thing, they were as fine a people as
you would meet with anywhere, but the peo
ple in this part of Texas are equally as nice as
they are in Huntingdon. There is good society
here, fine churches and schools. This part of
Texas is settled principally with eastern peo
ple, and as a general thing they are very so
ciable. This is considered as fine a county,
both for its rich land, fine, healthy climate,
and good society, as there is in north-western
Texas. This town or city now has 9,000 in
habitants according to the census ust taken.
You will see mote buainess done hire in one
day than is cldne in Huntingdon in three
months. The people here are up and on the
go ; they issue four daily papers in this place.
Mr. Carmon, who accompanied me,thinks this
the garden spot of America. A man with cap
ital can make money buying and selling land,
or by buying cheap lots, putting a house on
them to make house and lot all cost from two
to three hundred dollars each, and rent them
out at froM $l5 to $25 per month, which you
can readily do, and if you wish to sell them,
you can always sell and realize more than the
original cost. It don't take people here a
month to make up their minds about making
a little investment in speculation. Mr. Nash,
I have not seen one beggar since I have been
in the country { no; you' do not hear a person
talking panic or politics; it's all business and
every person seems busy except the new-com
er. Be has to form acquaintances, and if he
is the right kind of a roan, and will work, he
will get along; but a stranger should hays a
little money when be Comes to this country.
This is no country for a man to come to to get
clerkships and such like, and make money
without soiling his hands, such parties, I find
generally meet with disappointment, fur in
this line of employment there are 100 per cent.
more applicants than there are situation, this
class of people generally meet with more dis
couragement than any other. I must close
for the present as I am going out in the coun
try. Yours, respectfully,
D. S. AFRICA.
TAKEN ON THE FLY AT MT. UNION
Mount Uniou has about 10,000 too masy
dogs.
Bark is being hauled to this place by the
ton at present.
Swimming is indulged in quite extensively
by the juveniles.
As yet there has been very few black bass
caught hereabouts.
Travel on the East Broad Top Railroad is a
little dull at present.
We have four ice cream saloons in full blast
at present. All doing a good business.
Politics is all the talk at present by some
of our men who like to bear themselves talk.
Same of our citizens are endeavoring to get
up something for the 4th of July in this place.
Editor Bair, of the limes, makes frequent
visi:s to his former home,Shirleysburg. Queer,
too.
Dr. Borst's new drug store is quite a palace

bacco growing business quite extensively this
season ; he has about eight acres of the same

'fbere are only fuur doctors in this place at
present, and there is no sickness of any ac
count ; of course that is the reason there is
none.
Both Tanneries at this point are in full blast
at present. Mr. Foust, the efficient proprietor,
is a very pleasant "boss" to work for, so his
men say.
The wedding, a week or so ago, was done
up so sly that even the sharpest of our citizens
did not find it out for a good long week after
the same transpired.
Th• young man who had his leg broken by
the cars, on the P. R. R., near Huntingdon,
was brought to this place, one evening re
cently, and sent from here to the Alms House.

POVERTY AND SUFFERING.—"I was
dragged down with debt, poverty and suffering
for years, caused by a sick family and large
bills Tor doctoring, which did them no good.
I was completely discouraged, until one year
ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured
Hop Bitters and commenced their use, and in
one month we were all well, and none of us
have seen a sick day since, and I want to say
to all poor men, you can keep your families
well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one
doctor's visit will cost—l know it.
