DKATII FROM KVl'LOMlOX, —Thursday
last an accident to distressing that It* simple
relation given pain occurred to four little
boya in our neighboring city of Altoona,
the partieulara of which we glean from the
Tribune. They were all quite young, the
oldest George Brady Murray being but (1
year* of age, Oscar Penny 1 aged 6, and
Wilbur Pensyl and John MeClosky each
4 year* old. Karly on Thursday Mr*.
Harry I'ensyl panned through her yard,
saw an object lying on the ground, dis
lodged it and passed on. IJuickly would
the mother of little children have picked
the object up and put it where it would
have done no harm had she the
fainted idea of iU deadly nature—that it
was either a percussion cap, such an U used
on railroad* to give alarm*, or a glycerine
cap. That same afternoon about 8 o'clock
the four lad* mentioned above were at
play in Mr. Pon*yl'i yard, and seeing thin
{MK-uliar looking object lying on the ground,
picked it up, and their curlotlty wa* irn
mediately u roused to see what wan inside
of this strange looking object. "1/et'scrack
it, and ace what'* in it, for it' heavy,"
wa* the suggestion of Johnny McCloskey,
which wa* immediately carried into execu
tion hy <) car I'ensyl, who procured an ate,
and, while hi* companion* were interested
spectators, struck the fata! hlow. A loud
explosion followed, fragments flew through
the air, and each littie boy lay on the
ground. All soon recovered except Johnny
McCloikey, who did not become conscious
until his mother who lived next door flew
to his assistance. He then made two inef
fectual effort* to rise, and was carried home
by hi* mother. It was discovered that all
the boys were injured and Johnny Mc-
Closkey fatally. He lingered until !
o'clock that night when he expired. The
injuries received by the other boy* were
painful though not dangerous. The ac
count in detail is very heart-rending, and
the result must have brought sorrow to
many home*.
—By the mouth* of many witnesses the
m#t doubting |-erson* should be convinced,
and so we give our leaders, in two extracts,
what the Chicago Evening Journal thinks
of Mr. Knight, who will ap|<ear before a
Bellefunle audience on Monday night in
Humes' Hall:
No elocutionist who has appeared before
a Chicago audience for year* ha* given a
{■erformance more thoroughly enjoyable
than that presented by Mr. knight. It
necessitated a wide range of voice and
corunlete mastery of the brogues. Hit
rendering of two scenes of Macbeth was
rajiecially satisfactory; in many resjmrt* it
was more faithful than the remarkable
reading of those {•assage* by Charlotte
Cut h man
And thin from the (fremiti Slate tree
/Ve*, Lebanon, N. 11.:
The stay-at-home* missed the finest en
tertainment that ha* ever been given in
Lebanon Mr. Knight ha* devoted much
tune and itudy to his art, and interpret* his
selection*, most remarkably. Hi* recital
of "The Death of Hamsun," "Mow* und
Hi* Hound," "The Gootengen Barber,"
"The School Master'* Guest*," and
"Miriky'i Conversion'' held the attention
and won the hearty applau*e of the audi
ence. Hi* ini|M-rMination of prominent
Shakespearean character* vai the I**l ever
offered a Isehanon audience, holding the
closest attention and winning the most fa
vorable comment and applause. He ha*
everything thoroughly committed to mem
ory, i* faultiest* in enunciation, and graphic
while hi* voice i* clear, full, and
expieasive, well trained and pleasant to
hear Hi* cottumes are very rich and rare
of themselves a sight worth the price of
admission. He made complete change* of
costumes with such rapidity that the audi
ence had barely time to whisper a word of
prai#e to each other before he appeared in
another—leaving the stage a* Richard
111, and returning in a moment a* Shy
lock. Tbey were not what i* termed
"lightning changes" turning the same gar
ment inside out or throwing on another,
but a datfing and donning throughout.
Should Mr. Knight come again we should
not fear to warrant a full hou*e.
—The last victim of the ice of whom we
have heard is M rs. Moses Thompson,of Cen

residence into the side yard when, stepping
on a piece of ice, the fell with considerable

ST. PATRICK'S DAY IK M* MORKIJI'.—
The solemn stillness for which our town J*
characteristic prevailed throughout St.
Patrick's day. Wo are either no level
headed or so tnucb the other way that the
advent of a great day does not move u* a
particle. Other places may go mad over
the wonderful occasion* that occur annual
ly, but we do not care so long as we are let
alone. But perhaps a few word* about the
noted Saint which we may quietly read,
and at the same time preserve our dignity,
may just here In- apropos:
St. Patrick, like Homer, is claimed a* a
native of many countries, Scotland, Kng
land, France and Wale* laying claim to
his birth on their soil. Hi* family wa*
patrician, which, while there is doubt a* to
hi* birth, hi*name implies. He was born,
as near a* can be told, about the year &72.
When only live years old he was captured
hy pirates, doubtless the Danes or the
Norsemen, who roved in plundering ex
{•edition* along the coast of Britain, and
who sold him into slavery to an Irish
truder, ly whom ho was resold to an Irish
farmer, who reduced hirn to the toil of a
swineherd in the mountains of Sleamish,
in the county Antrim, lie passed seven
year* at this menial service, hut the spirit
and inspiration of the man moved him to
study even then, and to the observation
which gave him a deep (might of Irish
character and its need*. He aping from
his master, he wandered over the country
and along the coast, until at last he was
taken up by fishermen, who conveyed him
to the continent, w here be was ordained
priest and bishop, and once more returned
te Ireland, where, with the authority of
Pojie ('destine, he pri-ncbed the Gosje-I to
the wild Irish tribes, then heathen, and per
haps the most turbulent people in the
world, the descendants of those other tribes
whom Ce sar, in hi* incursions into Brilian,
could never reach for conquest.
The opponent* with whom Hi Patrick
was forced to meet was the Druid*. St.
Patrick did all in hi* j*wer to mollify the
Druids, who in return refused to accept hi*
counsels, spat ii|>on his teaching, and dis
pised hit kindness. Outraged at this, St.
Patrick cursed the fertile land* of the
Druids, their fair fields, their sylvan groves,
and their verdant meadows, bv which they
were converted into barren and dreary
bogs ; to curse their rivers MI that they
pr.-duc-ed no flh ; to curse their very ket
tles so that with no amount of fire could
they lie made to boil; and as a last resort
of all, to curse the Itruids, MI that the
earth opened and swallowed them up.
Doe of the saint # first miracles was while
with a number of hi* follower* in the moun
tains. All were suffering from the intense
cold and hunger. St. Patrick directed
them to gather a quantity of snow and ice,
pile them up. when be hrr-alhed upon the
ma* it i-ecanie a bright and brisk fire, at
which all found comfort. St. Patrick's
great feat, and which end-ar* him to
Ireland, was the ridding of the Kmerald
Isle of all venomous reptile*, teads and
snakes In the course of this miracle be
seixi-d a drum to lure the reptiles into the
sea, and while thus engaged beat the drum
M> hard that h<" knocked a bole in it* head,
which an angel perceiving, it flew to hi*
aid, instantly rejuured the rent and enabled
the drummer saint to proceed with hi#
mighty mustering out of all snake* from
Ireland.
It would be impossible to trace the pro
gress of the saint through Ireland, but the
evidence of bis presence i fell and seen
even to thi* day in the titles of place*,
mountain*, streams and cognomen of peo
ple, a> the Kil|tricks, Kukpatrbks and
St. Patrick purgatory, St. Patrick s
woods, St. Patrick * rock, St. Patrick"#
i well, at which the saint quenched his
i thirst, reeled hi* linit**, or reposed at night,
| may be counted in score* all over the
, iland. He died at Saul, on the 17tb of
March, 093, aged 1121 year*. The saint
was the first to instruct the Irish in the
secret of distilling poteen ; but be forbade
hi# followers to drink in the day time, the
signal for their enjoyment of the favorite
poteen being when the Vesper bell rang.
A Sat* A(xinr.M AT C'**TRAL CITT.
—The past week seem* to hare been j-e.
culiarly fatal to the little folk*. Last
Friday night about 9 o'clock a terribl*
occurrence happened at Central City
near Milotburg, in the home of Mr. Samuel
Wyland. Harvey, a boy of about 12 years,
and hia younger brother, about R years old,
wore together in a room, in which wa* a
loaded muaket, which tbey had been warn,
ed not to touch. The parent* leaving the
apartment soma time after, the younger
boy, impelled by curiosity, picked up the
dangerous weapon and aimed it at Harvey
It went o(T, eighteen shot, it is said, strik
ing Harvey in the breast and inflicting
a mortal wound. Ail was done that was
possible to save him, but the deadly Instru
ment, In the hands of this little child, had
done its fatal work. Harvey lingered in
great pain until about 12 o'clock on Satur
day, when his spirit left the suffering body.
It must be indeed a sad losa to the family,
and will always be a source of sorrow to
bis brother when he arrives at years of dis
cretion. Although lessons drawn at such
time* seem inappropriate, it should he a
warning to all parents to exercise greater
care over their little ones.

impended because of the interne intercut
we fait in the grand international walking
match going on at fiilmore'i Garden, New
S ork. With what suspended breathlm*-
neaa we watched the progress of thoaa
strong-limbed champion* beggar* de
scription. To think that a nation'* future
glory hung on the ilender thread of a
walking race wo* enough u> more the
•toutxwt heart. Throughout the day and
a* we sought our downy couch at night we
could almost hear the round of their feet
on the nolid floor.
If theao champion* had been performing
a work that would hare exhibited *omo
reiult for their pain*, wo would not have
experienced any interest. If they had
each been rawing Ave hundred cord* of
wood, or if they had Icon walking back
and forth carrying bundle* for a store there
would have been no reason for the unusual
exertion of a thought in their behalf. But
because they were engaged in the glorious
occupation of blistering their feet, exert
ing their nether limb* until they were
swollen to twice the ordinary six*, and
working themselves up generally and ao
oompliabing nothing bv it, our whole oul
went out in the inlenaest feeling, and it wa*
sufficient to bring the hero-like Senator
Blaine to the garden with one of the
florist t most beautiful combination* to
present to one o( the champion*.
But it i* oxer, and as a result our most
noted champion ha* suffered an ignomin
ious defeat and the belt goes to England.
Tis true, we are blessed with some splendid
walkers, male and female, but until we
can recover the belt which is now owned
by England'* champion, we must as a na
tion hang our head* in ihatne. What doe*
all our |-a>i glory amount to now? Of
what use are our achievement* in science
and art ? They *ll fade into insignificance
before the awful fact that our glorious pe
destrian belt is gone. The defeat of our
champion falls on us like the defeat of
Goliath of Gath on the Philistines. Wo
call on every native of Centre county to
immediately cast all other duties aside and
commence to practice this noble art, and
If within a year wo do not win back this
badge of our former honor wc will imme
diately go and—well, wc will take a
drink.
