While the danger ous instrument was in the hnnds of Am brose, it went off, and as Sammy was standing in n direct line with the passing ball, it inflicted a severe flesh wohnd in the calf of his right leg. It is fortunate however that the ball did not puss a little higher up. Moral—do not allow children to handle firearms until they understand how to use them. —-Mr. Cyrus Deitz, of Howard township, met with a serious misfortune by fire last week. His little children got hold of some matches, and going to the barn to play, managed to set them otf among the straw, and burned the barn with nil its j contents. The horses were fortunately out at work, but valuable colt, with spring I wagon, harness and tools were all cen j-unied. Mr. Deilz had no insurance, and as he is just starling to clear up a farm for 1 himself, his loss falls upon him with great I severity. There is much sympathy for | him in the community, and we learn that . steps are being taken by some of his neigh ' bors to give hitn assistance. —lt falls to every one's lot to annually ; have what is known as a birthday. If we wished to bo pednntic, we would say the anniversary of one's birth. But without entering into any learned disquisition upon the construction of the (pieen's English, we pause to say that Mr. W. R. Teller, the genial and justly popular proprietor of the Brockerholf House, suddenly remem bered one day last week, that another cycle had been completed, and that he was—but, out of consideration for tho gentleman's feelings we are constrained to suppress the concluding {airtion of the sentence. At any rate ho was "blank" years old and he invited his friends to enjoy a royal lunch in tho evening in commemoration of his good luck in not having been called upon to hand in his cheeks and square up with the board. We wish him many happy returns of the day. —Company "B," N. 0., of this place, has been disbanded and a now company formed, to lake tho place thus vacated in the Fifth Regiment.

CONRAL>, Chairman. 11. A. MOPIKR, Secretary. Last Sunday some of the Bellefonte young ladies appeared in bewilderingly beautifully costumes. Those mado of a combination of dark and light summer silks, or those all of pure white material relieved by a rose or two were the most charming. A. confusion of bright colors, especially if they are not chosen with Yegard to artistic effect, notwithstanding the expense of the material of which they may he composed, spoils the beauty of any young lady. AVe saw two costumes which could not be sur passed for perfect taste, but refrain from mentioning the names of the young ladies who wore fhem. LOCK HAVEN'S MCRDKK SENSATION.— Hcarcoly had the jury in the Lycoming county Court, at Williarnsport, decided that the two person* recently tried hy it for the high crime of murder, were guilty of that heinous offence, than Lock Haven, a city which rivals the former in more ways than in the amount of lumber sold, also cornea forward with every evi dence that a similar horrible crime has been committed within her own fair bor ders—und that, ton, obscured by all the mystery that men and women, money and lire can throw around it. A house situated on Bald Kagle street was burned to the ground quite early on Saturday morning, and in its dying em ber# was found the body of its unfortunate occupant, Mrs. Mary K. Friedel, a woman of flfty-flvo years of age. Miss Josie De land, who lives in the next house, was at her window at half past two o'clock in the morning, and heard a noise in Mrs. Fried el's house, but did not attach importance to it, as she thought Mrs. Friedel was only engaged in a pugilistic encounter with her daughter. This young female, und also Mrs. Friedel'# daughter and son are positive there was money in the house, ; Henry Friedel, the son, placing the j amount a# high as of which was in gold. Inquiries instituted by the Daily Journal and also the post-rnortoin examination in dicate that Mrs. Friedel was murdered be fore the house was fired. George Wagner, a German, employed at Gossler A Co s | planing mill, was arrested on suspicion, j The only evidence connecting hirn with the crime appears to be that he frequently visited Mrs. Friedel, and was consequently aware that she kept money in the house. At all events, the Clinton county courts ; seem destined to be the scene of an excit ing murder trial. "Or* Bon" MARRIED. — Mr. Robert Larimer, #on of i'leasanl Gap's good citi zen, Mr. J. G. Larimer, and whom it is extremely convenient as well as apropo* to dub "Our Bob," because he has been con nected with the DEMOCRAT office during | its entire existence, departed on the train last Wednesday afternoon for Clearfield. i There was nothing strange about that, how - i ever, as lie had frequently journeyed to that j town before, and whenever he chose to depart for any length of time from the j honored precinct# of the printing office. ! an attraction, delightful in it# essence and | strong in its power, drew him irresistably in that direction, often we guessed the | sweet attraction which enticed him thither, I and as ollen ho declined to acknowledge | it. But at last as the May sun grew strong and the days grew long, and the flower# i put forth their glowing jmtals, "Bob" ' again renewed his preparations for a visit to the town in which his affection# seemed to b most firmly fixed. Those inexplica ble but unmistakable sign# which suggest a momentous event in life were plainly evi dent in the actions of "Bob," and we sus pected strongly, and, as events proved, ; truly, that the coming trip would be an . important one to "Bob and perhaps to 1 another. He reached his destination, though the i cars did travel slowly, and was married on I Thursday night to Mis Kiiia Mcl'herson, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. John McPherson, in Clearfield. The wedding was appropriately solemnized bv Rev. ; George Leidy, of the M. K. church of that plan* The happy couple returned the following | day to this place and were driven immedi ately to the groom's home at Pleasant | Gap, w here hospitality ever stands with | ojien arms bidding all "to enter. There an | other happy scene took place. The bride is a sister of Ross Mcl'herson, j Esq., ex-Sheriff of Clearfield county, and j spoken of in terms of the highest praise. The groom—well, he is so well known that !he requires no introduction. Everybody joins in wishing theni a married fife of mucji happiness and prosperity. AN EVENING IN SPIRIT LAND. —Prof. Cecil, the greatest and most successful Spiritualistic exposer in the world, will .give one of his marvelous and mirth pro voking entertainments in the Opera House, lon Thursday (this) evening, May 27. The Boone, Ta., Rrjmhliran, in speaking of him, says : "The entertainment given by Prof. Cecil, last evening, was a gratifying ex posure of the spiritualistic baubles and the superstitious notions which have pervaded to a remarkable degree the unparalleled civilization of the nineteenth century. During the past summer the people, to the number of 10,(100 at a time, have assem bled In mass meetings throughout the •onntry to attest their devotion to spirit ualism, and have endured the fraudulent inflictions of so-called mediums with a composure and evident satisfaction which is startling to men of intelligence and reason. At the entertainment in question the audience were permitted to go behind the scenes. There were few prominent operations which take effect in the dark ened seance chamber of the mediums which were not performed by Prof. Cecil, and the manner of accomplishment fully shown. Simple as the light of day, when you know how, was the unanimous verdict. Prof. Cecil Is a national benefactor, in that be makes clear the frauds imposed upon the public to secure their money and patron age. Without attempting to be, he !a a fenuine scientist, in that he investigates, and shows to the satisfaction of himself and mankind, the true status of a promi nent queation imposed upon men."
