73 year*, Hiid on the following Monday
afternoon hi* remains were followed to
their last resting place by a large nam her
of relative* and friend*. Sheriff llall wa*
a prominent and well known citi/.en. He
wa* elected Sheriff of Centre county in the
year IMS, and nerved hi* full term of three
year* in that office. The vote at hinder
lion wa* a* follow* : For T. M. Hall, 1461 ;
for John D. l'etrikcn, and for Peter
11. Gray, !WI. This vote at to* ted hi* pop
ularity and it may he saiA that he tilled
the honorable po*itin to which the favor
of his fellow-citizens had elevated him
with great credit and thlelity. Ho was
afterward* nominated by the Democracy of
Centre county for State Senator, but failed
to receive the nomination in the district.
During the entire period of hi* active life
ho wa* an ardent and uncompromising
Democrat, and an efficient and energetic
party worker.
The home of the deceased wa* for many
year* In Milesburg, where he wa* alwav*
regarded a* a kind friend and good neigh
bor. For a great length of time he kept
an excellent hotel in the town where he
resided, whieh wa* in it* day extensively
patronized by travelers. As a landlord ho
became acquainted with almost every per
son in the northern part of the county.
He possessed certain qualities invaluable to
the successful hotel keeper, and which en.
aided him to wield a large influence. ID
wa* kind to all who approached him, and
generous to a faullin rescinding to appeals
for charity. Throughout his life his mode
of living is said to have l*n exceedingly
simple. He never drank liquor, used coffee
and t*-a very sparingly, and was never ad
dieted to the use of tobacco in any form.

Sheriff llall wa- so unfortunate as to re.
i .-ive a severe injury to his head by being
thrown from a buggy while riding from
llellefofite (o his home Thi* It ury final
ly resulted in paralysis of the brain and

and bail reached the first railroad croeting
a si. it distance i,..rtb of Fhiliptlurg, when
the local freight going n<crthward passing
at the same moment, caused hi* horse to
jcimp around very suddenly, which in con
nee lion with the pr. ! ability of the step of
the tank striking one wheel of the buggy,
threw it down the bank with such force as
to break it up tradly, also throwing Mr.
Sweeney heavily to the ground. Me was

and brought I*c k to Pasemore a hotel,
where upon examination, it was ascertain
ed that no Irenes were broken, but that the
aysteni was severely shocked by the force
■ f the fall. As no culpability seems to
connect with this ralher serious accident,
it may bo explained in thi* wise. The
night wa dark and stormy, a heavy snow
storm prevailing at the time, vchich occa

driving in his face, and also being a stran

close proximity to the railroad crossing,

on unconscious of the coming train, until
he encountered it. Neither the engineer
or fireman were aware of the approaching
horse and huggv. and onlv noticed the
overturning vehicle in the darkneo* as the
train rushed by. Tho horse escaped writh
a few scratches, but the harness and the
buggy were badly used up by the accident
iiutupon the whedeit wa* a most fortunate
escape of man and beast.'"

Local History.— We have taken tho
privilege which wa* afforded us, by tho
receipt of Hon. John lilsir Linn'* address,
delivered at the unveiling of the Brady
monument at Money, printed in pamphlet
form, to republish it thi* ww-k on the in- 4
tide of the Democrat, for the benefit of
our readers. It will prove of great inter
est to those who have not yet had an o[
porturdty to read It. Mr. Linn hat re
ceived c ompliments upon thi* address from a
large number of people—among them (Jen
em! Kbermnn. A novel i* in course of
preparation by a gentleman named Mc-
Knight, of Philadelphia, who takes JohnA
Brady as hi* hero. The historical fact*
gathered by Mr Linn will be of great ser
vice to him. lying ago there was a pretty
•tory published away over in Denmark,
which was afterward translated into Kng
glish, and Mr. Linn ha* discovered it iri
an old volume of "The Friend' newspaper,
which he purchased from the Thomases, of
this place. It relates how two little Penn
sylvania sisters, Barbara and Regina, were
captured by the Indian*; that Barbara
wa* lst, but I'e-gina was put in the posses
sion of an old Indian woman, by whom
she wa* harshly treated. She, however,
| prayed night and morning that she might
again be restored to her mother, and also
taught another little white girl who was
with her to pray. At last
brought tin- little girls, with other captive
j children, to Carlisle, where the authorities
puldishi-d a notice in the n<-wsr t|x-r* that
all who had lost i hildren should come and
claim then,, Regina hail i banged jn *p.
pearanee and had forgotten her native
I language, *., her mother could not recog.
nixe her. But she sung a hymn which
•she had often, in years ja-t. sang to tho
<hihi; and Regina, rwognizing it, ran to
10 r mother's arms. The story say* th*t
the other little girl w-a> not sought bv inv
one, so she went awav with Regina and
her mother, and all 1i ved ha j pi I v ever after.
At this day it seem* almost U<i late to
find a w-quel to any of the event* related in
the lecture, but the following letter, *bi< h
