Extraordinary Adventure of a Child.
The Pawtuket (R. I.) Gazette relates the
following adventure of a child, only three
and a half years of age, which wandered in
to the woods on the 10th instant, and was
lost:
The course of the child was followed, in
part, by the information of those who had
seen him, but mainly by his foot-prints in
ploughed fields and muddy places. lie was
found on Saturday evening five and a half
miles, in a sliaifit line, from'his horn.!, fifl'y-
Jbur hours and a half after his disappearance,
and Jifiy-nhic after he ate his breakfast on
the previous Thursday morning. He left,
home barefooted and very thinly clad, having
nothing on but a very thin dress and an
apron, and these were wet when he was found#
in this condition he had wandered to the
place where he was found, through ploughed
fields and woods, and across ditches and
swamps. So t;n- as it is known or believed,
he had not eaten a mouthful of food since
the previous Ihursday morning. Two nights
the little fellow must have slept in the open
air, on the cold, damp ground, and they were
cold nights, too, there being a frost on each,
llis feet were badly lacerated, by stones,
briars, Ac., and much swollen, but he ap
peared to be otherwise in good condition, and
is doing well.
The latter part of the strange adventure of
the child was in and through an extensive
swamp, in which people have been lost, and
where, some forty years ago, a woman, un
able to find her way out, perished, and her
body was nor found until nine days after
wards. In this swamp is a stream of water
five or six feet wide, and of considerable
depth, and the mud in it-- bed and on the
bank is so soft that it is difficult to cross it.—
But this child did cross if ! how, every one
who has seen it is puzzled to conjecture.
From the appearance of his tracks in the
swamp, it is supposed that he wandered
about therein several miles. lie was found
on the margin of the swamp, but was sup
posed to be in it. and between one and two
hundred men were engaged on Saturday in
searching for him. We question whether
there is another instance on record in which
a child of so tender years survived -o much
fatigue, privation and exposure.
Shocking Murder.
On Saturday night last, a painter named
Nathan Keast, in consequence of some pre
vious misunderstanding, waylaycd Mr. John
Martin, in ( uion street, and beat him severe
ly. One of Mr. Martin's journeymen, named
Joseph .Meloy, coming up at the time sepa
rated them. In an hour or two afterwards
the parties met at the White Swan Hotel,
when Meloy knowing the character of Keast,
and fearing further violence, resolved to ac
company Mr. Martin home. At the alley
directly in the rear of Graff's store they
were met by Keast, who immediately made
a murderous assault on Mr. Martin with a
h>ng dirk knife. Meloy interfered, when
Keast plunged his knife into Meloy"s left
breast, penetrating the right ventricle of the
heart, and killing him almost instantly. Oa
ring the fracas a number of persons congre
gated who identified Keast, notwithstanding
which. In* made his escape and went home.—
I he alarm soon spread, and tin- most intense
excitement prevailed. The body of Meloy
was removed to a house at the'basin, after
which Officer Lindsey, accompanied by a
number of men, went to Keast - house and
arrested him. lie was found in bed, the
clothes besmeared with blood, and the bloody
knife beside it. It was now about 12 o'clock,
but Esq. C'cfx was aroused, heard the charge,
and made out a commitment, and Keast was
lodged in jail.
Ou Sunday morning a post mortem exami
nation was held by l)rs. Roderigue and
' hristy. It was found that the wound on
Meloy was about eight inches deep, and
three inches in length, inflicted in the left
breast, the blade passing between the ribs,
and entirely through the right ventricle of
the heart—sufficient to produce instant death.

Another Ilrutal Murder.
Some three or four months ago a shoemaker
Irom New-York, named John Roljeson, locat
ed on McAvoy's section of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at Kittaning Point, about live
miles west of this place. Two weeks ago
his wife died, and h" immediately set about
making preparations to go back to New-York,
but on Sunday night last, (the very night lie
lore he intended leaving,) himself and his
little son were murdered while in bed asleep.
Mr. Robesi •n had soid his shantee to a man
named 10. Tracy, who had taken possession,
and who, on the night the murder was com
mitted, was sleeping up stairs.
1 racy testified before the GorouerN inqui
sition, that on the night in question, hearing
a noise down stairs, he descended the ladder,
found the door open, and six men in the
room, three of them armed with axes, and
two with guns: that they threatened him ;
that his wife got up and lit a candle, and
came down stair- just a- one of the robbers
felled him. The wife's testimony differed in
some very essential points. On examination,
the jury found blood and brain in the iu
(lemious made on tin; door and window by
the alleged robbers, proving pretty conclu
sively that the axe that committed the fatal
deed broke open the house alter the murder
was committed ! A train of circumstantial
evidence, at once plain and palpable, was
elicited, and Tracy was arrested, and lodged
in jail.
Mr. Robeson was known to have some
three or four hundred dollars in his posses
sion. and for this paltry sunt two lives were
sacrificed ! Mr. Robeson's little boy was
only three years old. The father was killed,
it is supposed, by the first blow; the child,
however, lingering in great agony untii Mon
day evening, when death put a period to his
sufferings.— Hollidayr.burrj Standard.
A LADY FRIC.UTENED TO DEATH.— .The
Rockingham (Va.,) Register states that Mrs.
Dietriek, wife of Mr. Jacob Dirtnck, resid
ing near Mt. Crawford, in that county, was
frightened to death a few weeks since. Her
little daughter, for sport, threw a tree frog
upon her lap, which commeueod jumping up
towards her face, and so frightened nor that
she died in two or three days.
POSTMASTERS.— The subject of electing Post
masters by (he people haa been called up in
the House of Representatives, and a resolu
tion introduced directing the Committee on
the Judiciary to report, if they deemed it
constitutional so to do, a bill having for its
object the proposed change, and if they think
the constitution does not authorize it, to re
port 1111 amendment thereto which w ill.
tieorpe Peabody, Esq., the eminent London
banker, has given to the town of Danvers,
Mass., which is his native place, the munifi
cent -urn of $20,000 for the establishment of
a lyceum and library and the erection of the
necessary buildings.
THE OLD CEMETERY.
Messrs. Editors:— You will oblige numer
ous Iriends and subscribers by publishing
the foHowing preamble, report, Ac., of the
Committee appointed to superintend the Fen
cing and Improvement of the Old Cemetery
in the Borough of Lewistown.
In 1849, a number of Ladies formed an as
sociation for the purpose of raising funds to
be applied to fence and iinprovo the old cem
etery, in this Borough. Their plan was to
furnish and procure from persons interested
the necessary materials for a supper, and
make a moderate charge for admission to par
take of it. The net proceeds of this supper
amounted to $lO7 52. Finding this sum in
sufficient to accomplish the object in view, at
a subsequent meeting at the house of Hon.
E. Banks, they formally organized their Soci
ety by electing Mrs. S toner, President, Mrs.
Dickson, Treasurer, and Miss X. 31. Moore,
Secretary, and resolved to make an effort to
procure the necessary funds by voluntary
contributions, from persons who felt interes
ted in the matter. At this meeting, 31rs. K.
Stoner, Mrs. E. Dickson, Mi.-s N. 31. Moore,
.Mrs. J. E. Buoy, Mrs. E. Jacob. 3liss 31. A.
Elliott, Francis McClure, Dr. J. Culbertson
and 1. \\ . Moore, were appointed a commit
tee to receive proposals and enter into a con
tract tor erecting a substantial and suitable
tenet! around the cemetery, and to superin
tend the work until completed, the funds of
the Society being placed at their disposal for
the accomplishment of this object. The pro
gress of the work has been slow, on account
of scarcity of funds, and sickness and death
in the family of Mr. Shipton, one of the con
tractors. The Committee have succeeded,
through many obstacles, in having a splendid
Iron railing, ( manufactured by Messrs. Faxon
& Co. at their Foundry in this place,) erected
in front, on Brown street—the wall along
3Vator street thoroughly repaired and raised
higher,—a new wail along the alley at the
North end finished complete, and a new wall
along back or West sale, finished all to
capping. The Committee present the follow
ing report of expenditures and receipts, viz:
By Messrs. Faxon A Co.'s bill for 2W
feet of Iron railing, S4OO 00
Messrs. Faxon A Co.'s bill for bracing
Iron railing, 12 90

and for repairing wheel of borrow

Paid R. G. Shipton for finishing alloy

The above statement -hows a balance due
by the association of sl4 571, and it would
require besides SI<MI or more to finish l ack

to be $23 unpaid by subscribers, and we
hope that without other notice they will
promptly pay over the amount to tin "treas
urer, Mrs. Dickson, or to any other member
of the Committee.
'J he association return their sincere thanks
to all those who have aided tlicm in this un
dertaking, particularly to 3li>s S. S. F.duiis
ton, of Lexington, Ky., to Commodore David
t onner, I . S. Navy, and to Hon. Benjamin
Pattoo, of Pa., for their liberal contributions.
And believing that in that hallowed earth
repose the mortal remains of those who wore
near and dear to many of our citizens, who
have not as yet rendered us any aid, we
would earnestly request them now to come
forward, and assist by their contributions, to
put the old cemetery in the condition it
should be, and make it a beautiful place,
stored to the memory of departed friends.

Protection from Lightning.
fPIJE subscribers are now manufacturing in
JL Lewistown and Bellefontc their celebrated
PATENT LIGHTNING RODS, warranted su
perior to any in use. These spiral twisted car
bonised Rods are light halt" inch in ten feet
lengths, perfectly screwed together, with brass
sockets, and put up through glass insulators in a
most substantial manner—the whole mounted
with a solid silver plated copper point, that will re
main bright as long as the Rod stands. In this
connection we would simply remafk that a rusty
steei or iron point can be of no use on a Light
ning Rod, for the plain reason that they answer
no end that would not be accomplished simply
by sharpening the end of the Rod. One of the
proprietors being himself a practical Chemist
and Electrician, would assuie the public that
these improved Rods aro manufactured and put
up on scientific principles. We deem the im
portant fact that over six hundred thousand feet
of these celebrated Rods have been sold in one
season, a sufficient recommendation ; neverthe
less we have numerous certificates from promi
nent persons, speaking in the highest termsof
their utility.
Our teams are traversing all parts of the coun
try with all the necessary apparatus for putting
up Rods at once.
We can be seen at Hamaker's Hotel, in Lew
istown. Pedlars will find it greatly to lueir in
terest to call on us, as we are prepared to sell to
them on accommodating terms.

r PHE undersigned will offer for sale his well
L known and desirable business stand, situated

| Ihe advantages this stand has in location, the
facilities it affords for a convenient and ready
market lor its tonics, together with its verv ex
j tensive patronage, renders it one of the most
: desirable in the country.
The WARES manufactured at this establish
ment are far superior to any other in the six
counties, and have a reputation that will ever se
cure the patronage of the public, from the fact
oi the material being inexhaustible, and con
nected with the concern by a lease of a number
< of years.
I Ihe business of Potting has been carried on
successfully at this stand by myself ai d father
for over 3U years, which is of itself sufficient ad
j vertisenient to prove its advantages as a busi
| ness stand. The PERSONAL PROPERTY in
; connection with the concern, will also be sold,
if purchasers desire it.

Valuable Dwelling & Store Stand
AT
AgpA The subscriber offers a_ji
Tor sale two lots of ground Aj&f
I"'pfjapsiluate on the corner of
Diamond, in Reeds
ville, Mifflin county, with
a large DWELLLYG and STORE STshYD,
Stabling for 8 horses, Kitchen, Wood House,
Smoke House, and other out buildings thereon
erected. There is also a well of water on the
premises, Apple, Peach and Plum Trees in full
bearing—in fact everything calculated to render
it a pleasant home.
The store stand is undoubtedly one of the
best in the country, being situate on the great
avenue (the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turn
pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Miiheim, in Centra county,
intersects the Centre and Kishacoquillas road
between the store and tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, will largely increase the busi
ness—so that lew places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able—being six miles from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popuia
| tion daily pass the door. It was last occupied
by Wm. J. Glass, deceased.
ICf™ A further description is not deemed ne
cessary, as persons desirous of purchasing will
of course call and examine for themselves.
For further information apply to Wm. Brothers,
Esq., or Wm. McKinney, Esq., Reedsville, or

made easy.
