A number of our marksmen express great
dissatisfaction at the rules governing the use
of sites in the ensuing shooting match in this
place. They are opiiosed to :my one using
globe or "peep" sites, contending that they

sites. Unless every marksman agrees to use
the plain open sites, a great many of our local
marksmen will not participate in the match.
An important ejectment case, in which our
townsmen, D. Blair, esq., and the Fisher Bro.'s
Dr. It. A. aliller,were in terested,was tried in the
Courts of Clearfield county last week. The case
was that of Ilegarty,Blairet al vs. Fisher Bro.'s
Miller, of this place, and Berwiud, White &
Co., of Philadelphia, to recover four hundred
acres of coal laud in that county, said to be
worth over $lOO,OOO. The jury rendered a
verdict on Saturday in favor of the defendants: -
Arapahoe Tribe, 1. 0. of It. M., which has
been in existence in this place for the past
ten or a dozen years, disbanded, a week or so
ago, and the members made a "divy" of a
considerable sum of wampum that had ac
cumulated in the treasury. We arc.iuformed
that the divy amounted to about $5O to each
member, aggregating, in the whole something
over sl,ouo. With a treasury in such a
healthy condition we sec no reason why the
organization should go by the board.
The Huntingdon correspondent ofthe Altoona
TriLune, in speaking of the prosecution against
Geo. Lagle fur selling beer to minors and in
less quantities than Otte tif•allon, asserts that
which is not true when he says thz - it, the ac
tion was brought lie the Good Templar Lodge.
We are requested by a prominent member of
the Lodge to say that the Good Templars had
nothing to do with the prosecution in any way
whatever, and funlier, that if that organiza
tion had the cost to pay the amount would
not "'bust' the lodge." This is only one of
the many falsehoods usually found ia this
currespoudent's scribblings to that paper.

Charles Bricker testified to about the same
state of facts. lie had assisted probably
twenty times in emptying kegs by the wayside
and under the trees, and frequently saw boys
of 16 to 20 years doing the same ; he Lad
drank in Lagle's house full halfa dozen times,
and the drinking generally resulted in all
parties feelieg "pretty good," i. e. getting
drunk. lVitness refused to say whether he
had purchased kegs of beer and furnished it
to minors for fear of criminating himself, and
for the same reason he refused to state whether
he had purchased beer for a crowd of boys ;
but he always assured Lagle that there were
no minors to drink the beer.
John Hoffman testified to drinking a keg of
beer in Lagle's house, and Lad also bought
beer to drink with outside parties. Never
knew Lagle to furnish to minors.
John Swivel, a boy of eighteen, testified to
drinking beer across the river, which was
procured from Lagle's brewery by sending
some one over age for it. Never bought any
himself, but knew of Philip Brener, a minor,
going for a keg and getting it.
Philip Bruner, aged eighteen, admitted pur
chasing a number of kegs of beer from Lagle,
but stated that the first purchases were made
for his father, upon a written order, end after
wards upon a verbal order, his father having
instructed Lagle to let Philip have the beer
whenever he came for it without a written
order. Oa one occasion, however, when in
company with three other boys across the
river, a dollar was raised among them for
beer, and Philip volunteered to get it, which
Le did by telling Lagle that he had been sent.
for it by his father and the cigar makers. On
another occasion he drank a glass of beer at
Lagle'e, but it was handed to him by his father
while Legle's back was turned to him.
Juices Lloyd, a youth of nineteen, testified
that he had often purchased beer at Lagle's,
and drank it at the house, and along the road
with the crowd. On cross examination James
stated that Lagle refused at first to sell beer
to him because he was a minor, but by coax
ing be got it.
\VilliTtrn Wertz and William Decker testified
to about the sane state of facts es the first
witness.
Abner Lloyd testified that while he was
living with Lagle as a member of his family
he purchased beer from him by the quart.—
On cross examination he didn't remember if
he paid the money for the beer or for some
thing else.
This closed the testimony of the Common
wealth. Mr. Lagle took the stand iu his own
behalf, and denied that he had ever sold any
beer to James Lloyd, or any other minor ex
cepting to Philip Bruner for his father, and
any that was purchased from him tOr use by
minors was obtained by fraud. lie produced
a book containing the names of all individuals
who had purchased beer from him since las:
Alarch. It showed twenty-four kegs sold for
use across the river on Decoration Day, and
thirteen sold for use in town. As to Abner
Lloyd's testimony, Lagle said it was false, and
instigated by a feeling of revenge. Mr. P. M.
Lytle conducted the defense and Mr. Orlady
the prosecution.
The first atid sixth counts in the indictment
have been Judie proned on motion of the Dis
trict Attorney, and no conviction is urged
upon them. A conviction is sought upon the
second count, and also upon the third and
fifth counts, whic't may be treated as one. It
does not matter whether liquor be sold or
furnished to minors ; if it lm lane wilfully it
is the offense prohibited by law, so that these
two counts really charge the same offense.
The fourth count is immaterial, because the
offense charged in it is included in the second.
The first question for you to determine is,
did Mr. Lagle, the defendant, sell without
license ? From the evidence it is clearly
established that he is and has been for several
years a brewer in this county, and it is admit
ted that he is licensed as a brewer by the
County Treasurer. Under this license he has
a right to sell the product of his brewery in
quantities not less than a gallon. Ile would
not have a right under it to buy beer at
another place and sell it there, or to sell
quantities less than a gallon. If he did so he
sold without license.

The case of the Commonwealth vs. George
T.agle was the nest and last case tried. Mr.
I.ttle i,z tlie owner of a brewery in Walker
township, at the north side of the hill across
the river front this town. The indictment
contained six counts, charging the defendant
with keeping and maintaining a place where
liquor was sold; selling without license ;
to minors; selling liquor in quantities
less than a gallon ; furnishing liquor to tito.-
nors,and selling to persons visibly intoxicated.
Two of the counts were nolie prossed however
for want of consistence, and the others merged
into two general charges of furnishing to
minors and selling in quantities less than a
gallon. As the case is one in which all order
loving, not to say temperance people, are in

Andrew Wighaman, the first witness called
for the Commonwealth,testified that he bought
beer of 4r. Lade at his brewery very fre
quently during the past summer, purchasing a
he at a time, paying $1.25 for the beer ; that
the modus operandi was, that himself and
four or five companions would each contribute
a quarter; then the witness, who was twenty
two years of age and therefore not a minor,
would generally go to the brewery for the
I,,er, a spigot and a Class, while the rest of
the company would go down into the thicket
field and await the return of the •

tween thq.brewery aqd the tee hoAse. Sottae-
tinier the beer would be purchased and drank
at Mr. I.4 , gle's house when no minors were
along . . Lagle was always careful to ask the
purchasers if there were any minors in the
party, and was always assured that there were
not. Ltigle, however, did not go out to the
thicket to see who were to drink the beer.—
Witness had seen •lots" of drinking about the
neighborhood in the woods, the thicket and
along the roadside, by boys and young men,
and had seen them all pretty "full." On cross
examination the witness stated that Mr. Lagle
was the most careful man he ever knew in
selling beer; that from his observation be did
not believe he ever knowingly furnished it to
minors.
Judge Dean charged the jury as follows :
Gtztlenten of the Jury: The defendant is
ndieted under six counts, viz :
Ist. Keeping. and maintaining a place wllere
liquor was sold.
2nd. Selling without license.
:W. Selling to minors.
4th. Selling iu quantities less than one gal
.oll.
5111. Furnishing to minors.
Gtii. Selling to persons visibly affected.
It is alleged here by the Commonwealth ,
from the testimony of Abner Lloyd, that he
sold in quantities less than a gallon to him ;
that he gave him a quart and charged him 15
cents for it. On the other hand, it is denied
by the defendant that he ever sold to Abner
Lloyd, and it is urged further that Lloyd's
testimony is not of that positive nature upon
which you could rest a verdict. You have
heard the testimony of Abner Lloyd and that
of the defendant. if the evidence should
EatislY you beyond a reasonable doubt that
the defendant did sell a quantity less final a
gallon, then he should be convicted upon the
second count. If, on the other hand, you have
a reasonable doubt as to whether he did sell
in quantities less than a gallon, you should
give him the benefit of the doubt and acquit
him of the charge preverred in that count of
the indictment.
The next question for you is as to the
charge contained in the third and fifth counts
in the indictment; selling or furnishing to
minors. The Act of Assembly prohibiting .
the furnishing of liquors to minors and ma
king it an indictable offense, reads as follows:
furnishing intoxicating drinks by
sale, gift, or otherwise, to any person of
known intemperate habits, to a minor, or to
an insane person for use as a beverage, shall
be held and deemed a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof the defendant shall be sen
tenced to a fine and imprisonment, &c." Here
are three classes, you will notice, to whom
liquor is forbidden by law. The reasons
which moved the Legislature to enact this
prohibitory Taw as to minors are very apparent.
intemperat.c2 deemed by the Legislature
great evil. The appetite for strong drink is
must rcailily formed during minority, and
the law sought to stop the breeding of drunk
ards by prohibiting the sale of it to minors ;
thus placing it out of the reach of those of
tender years. It classes them with insane
persiii, and men of intemperate Labits ; and
no one can wilfully furnish to either of these
classes intoxicating liquors to be drank as a
beverage. without violating the law. A father
caNnot authorize a sale to his child any more
than a eommittue of a lunatic can authorize a
Sale to a mailman, or a wire authorize a sale
to her eottish husband. Neither of these
could, by their permission, in effect repeal a
plain statute which absolutely forbids the
wilful furnishing to either of these classes.
Mr. Lagle, the defendant, furnished liquor to
the young man Bruner, knowing he was under
age, to be used by him as a beverage. Bruner'a
father carnot relieve hint front the responsi
bility of hip violation of the law. But if his
father sem him there to carry beer home to
hini, then the defendant would not be respon
sible. The father has a right to send his son
to carry home a keg of beer, and the seller
ought not to be convicted for giving the keg
to the son to carry to the father, hut neither
the father nor any other living man can re
lieve a man who sells liquor from responsi
bility for furnishing beer to a minor to be
used as a beverage by the minor.
A man who undertakes to sell liquor under
the law, either as a brewer selling the pro—
ducts of his brewery, or as a hotel keeper
selling from behind his bar, is bound to exec.
else watchfulness and care in carrying on his
avocation so that he does not violate the law.
lie must take all the precaution and exert ell•
the vigilance which a prudent man can take
or exert. If he fail in so doing, and by reason
of his negligence the law is violated, he is
criminally responsible. The sale or furnish
ing must be wilful ; but if he furnishes to one
over age, not knowing or caring that it was to
be carried a few steps from his premises and
there drank by boys, that would be such neg
ligence as s:iould warrant you in finding the
sale wilful ; or if he inquired for whom the
purchase was made and it was falsely told
him it was not for minors, yet he knew the
statement to be a lie, or with the exercise of
ordinary prudence might have known it to be
a lie, you would be warranted in holding him
responsible criminally. The law is not to be
set aside or evaded by any trick or sham or
denial not calculated to deceive a prudent
MOM.
[Tice Court here reviewed briefly the evi
dence in the ca,e, which will be found
above, and called attention to \that was
chtimed fur and against it by the counsel.]
The Commonwealth i 1• bound, before a con
viction can be had for any particular sale, to
prove that it was made within two years be
fore the finding of the bill. The Act of Limi
tation would relieve the defendant from any
prosecution fur a sale beyond two years from
' the first day of this term—the day upon which
the bill was found. * * * You have
heard the evidence on the part of the Com
monwealth and on the part of the defendant
bearing on this charge of furnishing to minors,
and you have heard the arguments. If the
defendant did not wilfully furnish to minors
he should not be convicted • or if you have a
reasonable doubt as to whether he wilfully
furnished to minors he is entitled to the bene
fit of the doubt and an acquittal. If he in
good faith exercised all the care and watch
fulness which a prudent man should have ex
ercised under the circumstances to avoid a
violation of the law, the furnishing would not
be wilful. lie would not be necessarily crim
inally responsible if liquor sold by him to a
man of full age was taken by the purchaser
and given to boys a short distance from his
house. The measure of care taken is a ques
tion fur you, and you should judge of it iu the
light of all the circumstances surrounding the
case ; the character of the purchasers ; the
frequency with which the purchases were
made ; the habit of the defendant ; the nature
of his employment. All these facts are to b e
taken into consideration by you in determin
ing whether lie exercised that measure of care
and watchfulness which a prudent man should
have exercised under the circumstance. If be
did, he is not criminally responsible. Bet, if
he knew, or if acting with prudence and cau
tion he ought to have known that the man
who asked for the liquor was only pretending
to be the purchaser, while the real purchasers
and consumers were boys awaiting outside,
the furnishing would in either case bewilful
and you would be warranted in so finding.
The whole question is one on the evidence
for you. Did he sell without license, as we
have already instructed you, by selling less
than a gallon ? If so you will find him guilty
on the second count ; if not, you should acquit
him on that count. Did he wilfully furnish
liquor to minors to be used as a beverage ?
It he did and you have no reasonable doubt
of his guilt, you should find him guilty on
that count. If you have a reasonable doubt
as to his guilt upon either count, lie is enti
tied to the benefit of the doubt and an acquit
tal. [no Court concluded with the usual
instructiozs respecting the disposition of
costs.]

After an al,:v!nee of about two hours the
jury came ink() Court, and rendered their ver
dict, which was that they "found the de
fendant not guiity, and that the costs of the
prosecution be divided equally between the
defendant and the prosecutor, Dr. E. C. Stock
ton."
When Prothonotary Williamson announced
the verdict a great many of the spectators
shouted and cheered to the tops of their voices,
and amid the clapping of hands and stamping
of feet the unruly crowd broke for the door.
Judge Miller, who was presiding in the ab
sence of Judge Dean, was powerless to pre
serve order, and the outbreak was so general
that it was impossible to single out any par
ticular person for arrest. such demonstta
dons are entirely out of place in a Court
room, and t:eserve the severest condemnation
of all good citizens.
ANOTHER SWINDLE NIPPED IN THE
BUD.—in our issue of the ith inst., we pub
lished an advertisement of the "Denver Land
Company," which we received from a - New
York Agency, accompanied by the necessary
amount of cash to pay for its insertion for
foul. weeks. Last week, just before going to
press, we received notice trout the gentleman
who sent us the advertisement to stop its pub
lication for the reason that the Government
had stopped all letters addressed to the "Den
ver Land Company," and tLat some of the
"company" had been arrested. At the time
we inserted the advertisement we little
thought that we were assisting a gang of
scoundrels in their attempt to swindle the
public, but recent events go to prove that the
• , Denver Land Company" i 3 composed of a
gang of villains who ought to be picking
okum iu some State prison. The following,
from a Denver dispatch, under date of Novem
ber Bth, will expose this latest swindle in all
its magnitude :
_ . .
"Sidney A. Grant, late of Cincinnati, and
A. F. Wilson, were arrested 'to-day for con
ducting fraudulent schemes through the mails
under the name of the "Denver Laud Com
pany," and taken before the United States
Commissioner. They waved an examination
and were committed, bonds not being given,
and probably will go to jail. The scheme was
planned in Cincinnati. St3reotyped plates
were prepared and have already been inserted
iu over eight hundred first-class newspapers
and periodicals in the northern, eastern and
middle States. Grant came to Denver to se
cure land fur the purpose, and bought nearly
a thousand acres in Sand Hills, forty miles
north of Denver in another county, which was
plotted as North Denver. Although known
here but eight days, a perfect avalanche of
mail has been coming for S. A. Grant, and
the "Denver Land Company." The fraud was
denounced by local newspapers and bitterly
condemned by citizens. The postmaster re
ported to the department, and last night re•
calved orders to deliver no registered letters
or pay no money orders to Grant. The arrest
was made by Special Agent H. Hall. Special
Agent Furey is also here and asks the depart
ment to grant an order to withhold ordinary
letters.'
The advertisement refered to has appeared
in over six hundred first-class papers in this
country within the past three weeks, and we
have no doubt many of their rootlets have
been defrauded out of their money. We hope
no r2ader of the JOURNAL, was so unfortunate
as to send their money to these sharks upon
the representation of their advertisement.
Now that the fraud has been exposed, and
their mail matter withheld, they can commit
no further wrongs.
Since the above was written we have re
ceived a copy of the Denver daily Times, sent
us by our friend and patron, W. W. Borst,
esq., General Agent of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railroad Co., with headquarters
at Denver, which contains a detailed account
of the frauds committed, and those intended
to be committed, by this •organization of
scoundrels. It confirms all that is eontained
in the above extract and warns the public
against dealing with illegitimate land compa
nies. We thank our friend Borst for his kind
ness in sending us an expose of this gigantic
fraud and swindle.

CLIPPINGS FROM "Ora PAPER "
From friend I.lcli , e's paper we clip the follow
ing :
Or. Stever scooped four coons one night
last week.
Rev. E. Shoemaker has been carrying on an
interesting revival at Cassvillc. There has
been a number of conversions.
Scott IV°Hard has completed a drift of over
fifty feet in length to one of the veins of fossil
ore on K. L. (reene's laud. The vein where
be struck it is 211 inches.
Clay township was represented at the late
Court with a batch of nasty Commonwealth
cases. The 'Squires of this region could serve
their calling as well by refusing law in such
cases ; and thereby save money to our county.
Simon Price, of Clay township, while out
hunting the other day came up with some
wild turkeys, lie took aim at the only one he
saw and tired, the shot taking the desired ef
fact ; but imagine his surprise when on coming
to where his game was, instead of there being
one, there lay two dead turkeys, both shot
through the head, and the third one flopping
about badly crippled.
On the Ist inst., while Dutton Lane and Al
fred Wilde were engaged in quarrying lime
stone in Springfield township, a portion of the
rock overhead gave way falling on the young
men. Young Wible had his thigh broken,
but Lane escaped with a few bruises. The
fracture was reduced by Dr. Stever. The
young men were doing well at last accounts.
A short time since some of the gentry who
follow ways that are dark and tricks that are
Tile, passed through Well's Valley ostensibly
disposing of certain agencies. They succeeded
in "scooping" a farmer who innocently signed
the papers offered; but fortunately for him, a
short time after the "general agents" had
gone, it was discovered that his signature in
the case, wonld require him at some time in
the future to pay $3O dollars for which he
would not receive value. Pursuit was in
stituted and the scoundrels overtaken, and
they reluctantly surrendered the papers. It
becomes our people to be on the lookout for
unscrupulous scoundrels who are resorting to
every conceivable means to defraud the honest
and unsuspecting,. We again caution our
readers against signing papers to go into the
hands of strangers.
STATE TAXES.—We have received from
Auditor General Schell a little pamphlet front
which we dip the following piece of informa
tion for county commissioners and assessors :
"Heretofore the assessment of personal prop
erty, especially monies at interest, in many of
the counties have been carelessly and negli
gently made. Nearly all of the requirements
of the law have been disregarded. It may
be safely estimated that at least one half of
the monies at interest subject to taxation for
State purposes have not been reached by the
assessors. This should not be so. The fol
lowing is a brief list of the property and
things taxable : Mortgages, money owing by
solvent debtors, articles of agreement and ac
counts bearing interest, public loans on stocks
(except those issued by State or U. S.), all
vehicles used for transporting passengers, all
annuities over $2OO, all personal property, all
watches, household furniture over $3OO in
value, pleasure carriages, all real estate not.
exempt by law, horses and cattle, salaries and
emoluments of office, professions, trades, oc
cupations (except farmers), single' freemen
over 21 years who do not follow any occupa
tion. The law will be strictly enforced in
every instance, as the Board of Public Ac
counts have had their attention called to
gross negligence in this matter. Under its
provisions no evasion can be made of a full
payment of all the taxes required, and asses
sors are especially admonished that a strict
account must be given."

DEATH OF HENRY CONPROBST.—We
are sorry to chronicle the death of our old
and highly esteemed friend, Henry Conprobst,
of Stone Creek, which oEcurred on Thursday
evening of last week, after a somewhat pro
tracted and painful illness.
The deceased was a native of this county,
and was well known in this community as an
honest, industrious and energetic citizen.—
For a number of years he was a citizen of this
town and was engaged in business here, but
latterly he was engaged in the flouring busi
ness at the mill bearing his name on Stone
Creek, in Barree township. Few men in his
sphere of life have been more generally known
or esteemed for their amiable disposition,
general hospitality and jovial companionship,
and few will be more missed in the commu
nity where for almost three score years and
ten he has gone in and out before them, his
name being as familiar as a household word,
and where he has ever maintained his integ
rity as an honest man, a good citizen, a kind
and affectionate parent and one of whom it
might be truthfully said none knew but to
praise. He leaves a wife and family to mourn
his loss.
FOUR. ARRESTS UNDER TUE TRAMP
ACT.-On Friday of last week Railroad Po
liceman Beegle arrested four able-bodied
tramps who had been loafing about the sta
tion and about town for a week. A few days
before they came to Bedford they were driven
from Mt. Dallas by the agent at that point.—
They loafed along the line, building fires
with timber belonging to the railroad, and
were becoming a nuisance generally, up to the
time of their arrest. The second section of
the tramp act provides that any tramp who
shall kindle any fire in the highway or on the
land of another without consent of the owner
thereof, shall, upon conviction, be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, or shall be sentenced
to undergo an imprisonment by separate or
solitary confinement at labor for a period not
exceeding three years. The parties arrested
had a hearing on Saturday and were com
mitted fur trial at December term.—Bedford
Gazette.
ANOTHER LURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.—
As this dreaded disease is prevalent in many
sections just now, anything relating to its
cure is of interest to the general public. A
lady friend, who has had considerable expe
rience with the disease, informs us that she
has been scccessful in treating it in numer
ous instances, both in her own family and in
her neighbors' families. When the disease
first makes its appearance she saturates a
strip of red flannel with kerosene and places
it around the neck of the patient, and as the
small, white spots or ulcers appear on the
tonsils of the throat she removes them by
touching each one of them with tincture of
iron, which she applies by the aid of a small
swab. In every case where the disease was
thus treated the patient recovered. The rem
edy is a very simple one, and we recommend
it to those afflicted with the disease, and who
find it inconvenient to call a physician.

trial a.),1 nr the . , a I_7( ne,aliy e. , eeedeil, in fact,
notorious, in rite neighborh , :od, are about as fol
lows A man named tleorge Lagle, who for some
years past has been running a brewery under the
hill within sight of this place, has within the last
few mouths been furnishing nightly to parties of
men and boys beer by the ireg, to be drank on his
premises, the result of which has been that in all
that time there has scircoly be , n a night in the
week, Sundays not excepted, that the slumbers of
peaceful citizens h are not been interrupted by the
orgies of drunken blackguards, and life and prop
erty endangered by their presence. Men have
stolen the last penny front their needy families,
cheated their employers and defrauded their cred
itors in order that they might join the nightly
revel, and boys, not over 12 and 14 years of age,
have been seduced into this maelstrom of destruc
tion to be trained for the penitentiary and the
gallows. The consequence was an indictment
against Lagle, for furnishing liquor to minors,
&c., and during the progress of the trial all of the
above facts were proven, conceded and acknowl
edged, as one after another of the participants
took the stand and with unblushing effrontery
told the story of their disgrace, and related how
they had made liars of themselves in order to ob
tain that which converted them into beasts, and
yet, after one of the most thorough, able and im
partial charges ever delivered in this court, the
jury, to the surprise of every one, the counsel for
the defendant not excepted, returned a verdict of
"not guilty," magnanimously (?) agreeing to di
vide the costs equally between the defendant and
the prosecutor. Ia regard to this verdict little
need be said further than this, that it not only
does not reflect the feeling of the better portion of
the community, but that it adds one more to the
list of those verdicts which are so rapidly bring
ing our criminal jurisprudence and the jury sys
tem into popular distrust, and causing the system
of trial by jury to be looked upon as a senseless
farce. The crowning act of blackguardism was
reached on the delivery of the verdict, when, re
gardless of the surroundings and without any re
gard for decency or self respect, cheer after cheer
arose from the crowd in attendance, composed of
the friends of the defendant, and the active par
ticipants in the midnight debauches already re
ferred to that have disg7Jc,l our town and out
raged decency, as they have been from titne to
time fun ished by him with the means of brutali
zing themselves, sonic of whom, I have no doubt if
Judge Lean had been present, would have been
taught at least one lesson in good manners which
they might have had occasion to remember. Com
ment is unnecessary. It is enough to say that
when such scenes can occur and are tot rated it is
an indication that mob law is rapidly assuming
the ascendency and that it may not be long till
we shall have but little room to say anything
against the now existing state of affairs in Kemper
and Yazoo counties in Mississippi. This verdict,
and the manner of its reception, if it means any
th ng, means all this. It means that this blot
upon the face of humanity shall not be removed ;
that this torrent of vice shall not be checked;
that the fireside must be invaded anti the house
hold desolated; that men who might be useful cit
izens shall be converted into companions of row
dies and blackguards; that our young man shall
be dragged down to ruin with the road to destruc
tion marked on every finger-board before their
eyes; that our boys, already lost to shame and
self respect, and devoid of all manly pride, or
sense of honor and reputation, shall go on in a
course which leads to crime and disgrace, the
midnight brawl and the assassin's bludgeon, until
a career began in sunshine shall end in clouds and
darkness. :,,uch a verdict practically says to the
people of the town, all this anti mere we will com
pel you to submit to, and when you attempt to
bring to justice the author of all this woe and sor
row and disgrace, we will acquit him and send
you out of court with the costs on your hack.' We
will send him back to that hill in Walker town
ship where he may pursue with impunity his ne
farious calling, in the broad light of day as well
as in the darkness of the midnight hour ; where
he may continue to pour -down that stream of
liquid poison which breeds sorrow and disgrace as
sorely as the miasma of the swamps breeds ph3s
io%l disease and death.
But then the question arises is not the pro
fessedly moral and religious portion of the
community largely responsible for all this ?
It is by no means strange that such scones
should occur in a community where an at
tempt to expose conduct which is an outrage upon
public sentiment and public decency is an invita
tion to columns of abuse from professors of chris
tianity against the citizen who refuses to be silent
or withold his warning and advice, when the un
learned lesson is so often repeated. When minis
ters of the gospel in high positions will place
themselves upon the record in favor of Sabbath
desecration, and become the apologists of drunken
ness and profanity,invoking the aid of the Police
Gazette and dime sensation novel for language
of ridicule and abuse towards those who would
venture a word of warning, it is not strange that
such scenes should be enacted, and, we may expect
a repetition of the same so long as a misguided
public sentiment will open up the avenues of
drunkenness, profanity and Sabbeth desecration,
and the cupidity of even ministers of the gospel
shall tempt them indirectly to the encouragement
of horse racing, beer drinkinz and dancing. If it
were not for the fact that it makes all the differ
ence in the world as to whose ox is gored, I have
no doubt but a "Veritas," a Mitchell, or some other
great apostle of moral suasion would be found
ready to apologize for, and denounce any one who
would undertake to expose or censure any such
conduct, and we may expect a repetition of such
scenes from time to time. until an indignant and
outraged community shall rise in its might and
teach such offenders, peaceably if possible, but
forcibly if necessary, that the law is not a dead
letter; that the day for mere preaching on this
subject has passed, and that this blot and stain
on the face of society must and shall be wiped out.
CIVLS,
FROM the Rockport, Ind., Bqnner.—
There is no medicine in the world which has
gained such fame as ST. JACOBS OIL ; this is,
however, not in the least astonshing, when we
consider its truly wonderful curative powers.
Mr. F. ltodenberg, of Grandview, called at our
office last week and related the following cir
cumstances : I suffered with Rheumatism for
over six years; consulted many physicians
and tried hundreds of remedies, ,but without
avail. Having seen ST. Jaeoss OIL advertised
in your paper, and heard of some most as,
tonishing cures, I sent to Rockport for a bot
tle of the oil, and used it according. to direc
tions. The relief I felt was almost "electric."
I got better at once, and now there is not a
trace of Rheumatism left in my body.
Cti DDEN DEATII OF MRS. M YTON.—This
community was shocked and surprised, on
Saturday last, at the intelligence of the death
of Mrs. John B. Myton, of Barree township.
Mrs. Myton was on a visit to a daughter i u
Colorado at the time of her death, and the
sad news was telegraphed to this place, and
at once communicated to the bereaved hus
band, who was shocked by its sad import.
The deceased was the daughter of our old
friend JL,sialt Cunningham, and her many
friends in this town and county will be pain
ed to hear of her death. We sympathize with
her husband and children in their bereave
ment.
A SINGLE man named Chaney, and a married
woman named Mrs. Foster,accompanied by two
children, who vegetate in the Broad Top re.
gion, were arrested in this place, on "Wednes -
day night, and lodged in jail, on the charge
of running away. They were taken before
Judge Miller on a habeas corpus on Thursday
morning, but as we closed our forms before
the case was disposed of we are unable to give
the result. We make the prediction just here,
that one of these days some of our officers
will get themselves into trouble by arrest
ing and imprisoning persons without law or
warrant.
A GOOD APPOINTMENT.—Our young
friend, Tommy Africa, for the last five and
a half years deputy postmaster in this place,
has been appointed to the more lucrative po
sition of Assistant Railway Postoffice Clerk
between New York City and Pittsburgh.
While we are glad that Tommy has been giv
en a position that will pay him better than
his old one, we are sorry to lose him from
the delivery window of the postoffice where
he always greeted visitors with a smile and
pleasant words, Our loss is his gain, and we
are pleased that it is so.
HUMBUGGED AGAIN.—I Saw So much
said about the merits of Bop Bitters, and my
wife who was always doctoring, and never
well, teased me so urgently to get her some,
concluded to be humbugged again.; and I
am glad 1 did, fur in less than two months use
of the Bitters my wife was cured and she has
remained so for eighteen months since. I
like such humbugging.-11. T., St. Paul.

deal; Mrs. Frances Hodgson Barnett, Mrs. Ann
S. Stephens, Frank Lee Benedict, and the author
of "The Second Life, etc., etc., being among the
contributors. One of the best and must amusing
stories we have everread, and by a comparatively
new author ("Peterson" somehow, is always find
ing out the best new authors), is called
Stealing." The full-size paper pattern, given as
a Supplement, is for the latest style of winttr

best of the lady's books, for it is only two dollars

Number Three. Three of the best known writers
of really good short stories are represented in this
issue; Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke by Doom and Dan,
Miss Sarah 0. Jewett, the author of Deephaven,
by Good Luck, in her usual finished style; and
Mr. Edward Bellamy, whose story is called Jane
Hicks. There are also two sketches based upon
characters in real life; Saved from Himself, and a
Bully Leaf, which last savors of temperance and
Christmas. Both are written in an intense style.
The most important article, perhaps, is An An
swer to the Cry for More English, by Prof. A. S.
Hill, of Harvard College, whioh will be of interest
to all who are interested in educational maters,
particularly such as believe in a more thorough
training in English than is generally given. Prof.
Hill's opinions should from his position have
weight.
