Ollleers Kcrshncr ami Lyen, of Heading,
went up Inte "Tlie Finest" yesteiday, en the
border of Derks and northeastern lmeasler
county and rallied n miserable let or people,
who have been living there in sipiulnrmid
without much regard te age, box, moo, color
or social condition. The place In which
tliey wero found is a stony rldge, back el
Chttrchlewn, near vvhore tlie mysterious
luurder of old Jehn Weller leek pluee some
ten years age. 11 is a ioer, scraggy country ;'
and the denizens of It are suspected orsally ersally
ing out tliorefrom and raiding tlie harn-ymds
Jiud hrn-ioestsol tlie runners or tlie Cones Cenes
toga valley, and adjoining portions or Heiks
and Lancaster eountles. It was upon tlie
complaint ofHeiuo of these that thu Heading
efticcrs visited tlie place and infelding te an

Springer, Martin Sprlnger, llaoliel Springer,
Mary Streninger, Samuel Trale, Jehn
Ueniji, Kliza Celeman, Scabby " Smith,
Henj. Itlceaud "Win. Fiaiikhciser. Several
farmers .spoken -with en tlie way commended
tlie ellleers for their pluck, wying that steul
ing was entirely tee lrcipient.
"The Ferest1' is about 11 mlles from Head

foriued ity tiprightchcstuut saplings coveicd
with lc.ics and n thick layer el' mud. This
is baked hard and dry in the sun. When
the ellleers eppinachcd a young celnicd
woman ran out of 0110 of these piiiuitivu
structures, and said : "Leid, bless us, who
be you? I 'xnectodyeii, 'cause Just n bit age
I seed thiee liiack spiders, and I kv, se. I :
Tbree while folks will seen lw areun' liere
suie." Hhe Mas followed out or thosame
hut by a young white man, and out el' another
came running an old man, a woman with a
white baby en her arms, another elderly col
ored man and a small girl.
The, dcleclives stated their business
when tliey all expressed sill prise.stating that
tbcre must be sonie mistake as tliey were all
honest lelks The women were only about
InuT-drossed, but they -weie all tel'd te get
ready te accompany the ellicurs te Hauling,
agahiH which tliey loudly protested. It was
llnally decided te take only tlie elderly col cel col
ercd man, who gae his name as Hev. Jehn
Knuicls, A1111I0 Uuumoeie, his stei daughter
and Jehn Millichseck, the young wlilteiuau.

living tegetlier in one hut about l leet
square, about oue-third of which is taken up
by their bed. The lemaiuder is devoted te a
lire place, and the blorageor several simple
cooking utensils. Tlie lloer is the bare
ground, and the sides aie patched up with
mud.
It was decided te allow the eldest et the
colored men, Rebert Springer, who claims te
lie 101) years old, his "housekeeper," Haehel
CJctz, lier daughter, Mary Alice Htreninger,
nd the baby, en tlie iiieuukiius,ns tliey could
be bieuglit te Heading at anv time. Tlie
visitors regretted that some or fhe principal

were intermed, liad gene te Uincistei, and
"Scabby" Smith and Kraukholser exer te tlie
Welsh mountains, several miles away, tosee

te tlie house el 'llj Celeman, ene el the
accused. SI10 is a married woman. Slieaud
iier husbauil were Imind at home. The war
rant was served en lier. and her man premised
te bring lier te Heading and outer bail.
After going several miles the parly found,
near tlie feet of the mountain a colored in. in
and thrce women, one et them white, lying
alongside the read in the dust, like se many
hogs. They proved te 1 10 Martin Spimger
and Margaret, his wire, Catharine llliabcth
Susanna Amelia HcUvca Fiaucis, wife of the
old clergyman, and Kllen Springer, Iho
young woman who accused, at last week's
criminal court, a young white man vvilh be
ing the father et her child. The young man
was acquitted. Hhe begged haul te be allowed
te go en the mountain te take c.ue of lier
baby and this was i-.inted, and slie will be
brought te Heading at some liitme day. The
