lover's Leap.
The most romantic spot In this vicinity
is lint which has received the name or Lov
er's Leap. The story goes on this wise:
Slore than a hundred "years ago, an Indian
maiden bad two lovers. Both loved ber to
.l-otrnetinn. indeed to' SUCh an extent that
corn bread and venizen wero oot palatable.
She returned the love of one, but not ot the
one who basked In the smile of her father.
Here waB a pretty pickle, tor in those days
Jlormoniatjri was unknown or any other sys
tem by wWch plurality of wives or duality
of husbands was recognized. The father
stood out rot bis lavorlte, but still no Indian
ever forced his daughter to wed against bur
desire. IU.t " proposed a foot-race to de
cide the matter. He that was the swiftest
of foot and longest of wind should b ivo too
dusky maiden. Both lovers were forced to
submit to tbis arrangement. Tbe spot se
lected for the raco was a beautiful grove
which overtowerswbat we now call Pioneer
City. The day came, and with it of course
great crowd, chief, squaw, pappose, all
were there. Tbe maiden gave tbe signal
for starting and off both lovers went. The
fatber'savortto won the race, and stepped
forward to embrace bis prize. But she pre
ferred death to such a husband, and Imme
diately spraDg over the bank into the wa
ters of Oil Creek. Tbe lover of her choice
followed her In ber desperate leap. Tbe re
sult was fatal to both of tbe lovers man and
maiden. Both bodies were recovered and
burled near tbe Bpot where they leaped into
tbe water.
Such Is the legion of Lover's Leap. It Is
said to be a fact, and we understand it is
confirmed by tbe testimony of old Cotfiplan
ter, who owned all this land once, and bunt
ed the deer wbero we now hunt oil.
The New Secretary ot the Muv jr.
The Hon. (ieorge M. Robeson is o son of
Jndj?e Win. P. Iloboson, of Warren county,
K. J., who was a loading Whig, long and
prominently connected with tbe politics of
tlm state. Mr. Robeson entored Princeton
College iu 1S44. and upon graduating in
1S4G entered tbenfllce of Chief Justice
llorublower, at Newark. Upon concluding
his legal studies in 1850 be was associated
for lin, ! lbe practice of bis prolession
with the Hon. A. C. M. Remington. Sub
sequently removing to Camden, be was ap
pointed Prosecutor of tbe Pleas; for that
county in 18o9. Upon tbe election of Mj.
Freltnliuy tiuii as senator in 1867, Mr. Robe-
sou was appointed Attorney General of (he
State by Governor Ward, which position he
has held until tbe present time. Ho Is a
bout tarty-one years of age, and justly holds
a bigb rank in bis r.roti?ion. To bis fine
legal qualifications be unites a goneral
knowledge and practical ability which give
promise of (Hciency aud usefulness in bis
new position. Mr. Robeson Is a strong and
decided Republican, and has keen earnest
and active in tbe f upport of his principles
On all questions of national policy h is !n
entire accord witb tbe party which support
ed tbe election of General Grant. It is a
curious coincidence that tbo .only position
ever held la tbe Cabinet by a citizen of
New Jersey bas been that of Secretary of
tbo Navy. In 1823 Samuel L. Southard
was appointed Secretary of the Navy by
President Monroe, and he continued In that
potition during tbe entire administration of
John QnincVAdama: In 1S34 Mablon Dick-
erson was appointed Secretary of tbe Navy
by President Jackson, aud be continued in
tbe Cabinet of Mr. Van Buren for more tbuu
a year.

Gr.ixd Concert at Tarii Farm. Dion
A. DeMarbelle, tbe poet, singer and ven
triloquist, assisted by tbe Tarr Farm Silver
Band, will give a grand concert at tbe Tarr
Farm School Honse on Thursday evening
July 1st. The programme is an Interest
ing one, and well calculated to please a dis
criminative audience.
A bridge bus been washed away near
near I'orry, Ta., on the Atlantic & Great
Western railroad, and a passenger train ran
off tbe track, killing an engineer named-
Sprague. No passengers are reported kill
ed.
CoLnl Cold! Nothing is colder or more
refreshing during this present warm weatbor
than Sam. Bloomer's ice. His Ice wagon in
its daily visits relieves a want a vacuum.
He fills orders promptly.
Mips Barker who has a school InBragR's
building, adjoining lbe Aniurican Hotel, on
yesterday afternoon gave tlio pupils, the rare
treat of a plo-nic, on the Espy Farm. We
sxw the procession of. little folks last even
i.i;; as they were returning to lbe school
room. Before dispersing, they gave three
hearty cheers for their teacher.
Thentre The Favorltea Lnut
pearauce This Evening.
It is witb pleasure we note tbe suueess of
the theatrical company now playing a short
engagement at Akln's Hall, in this place.
Last evening's programme'was mirthful, w t i
a sprinkling of instructive sentiment. In
"Napoleon's Old Guard," Mr. Robert John
ston's representation of Haversack, one of
Napoleon's body guard In tbo great buttles
and marches from tbo Alps to St. Helena,
was sublime, beautiful, and brought back to
the mind of the hi9tcrian the desiis of the
great monarch and his faithful followers,
witb a vividness Impressive, lasting. In
this personation Mr. Johnston won the ad
miration of bis audience, as reality Itself
could not have been more perfect. His sup
port in ibis drama was a decided improve
ment on tbe evening previous.
Little Nellie, In the laughable farce- or
'Jenny Lind at Last," seemed to bu in htr
happiest mood, persona'ting ''Jenny iicath
erlungs" seemingly to us with that perfect
freedom, bomo-liko character, for which she
is so justly celebrated. Little Nellie in
truthfully styled tbe, 'bright star of the
American stage,' as in all characters similar
to those personated by ber lust evening, ber
manner, appearance, apparent good nature,
adds materially not only to bererery move
ment and speecb, lint to the play in which
she takes a prominent pan. As '-Our Nan
last evening, she displayed again ber gonial
good nature, which wins for her tho admi
ration of an audience. J. F. Ward, her
chief support in the last named character,
although wo should judge a little "mixed,"
tccary, probably from a day of excessive
recreation, was humorous and witty as a
comiqne.
To-night will be their last appearance un.
til tbo night of July 5th, tbe troupe, in the
meantime, filling an engagement at Titus
ville. Tbe programme for tbis evening is
"Andy Blake' and the laughable farce,
"Bob Nettlos, or School in an Uproar."
Little Nellie as Andy Bluko and Bob Net
tles is'a host, andjtlio ball will again be fill
ed to-night.
Ox tho 12th Inst., a man named Lewis K
Cole, representing himself as agent of the
Chicago Life Insurance Company, rented a
portion of an office In lbe basement of tho
Ocean National Bank, of New York. Tbe
only piece of furniture he put in beside a
desk, was a large high case. Sunday noon
the janitor of the bank found everything
safe, since when bole was cut throng'.;
from the basement to a back office of the
bank by burglars who, wilb a large quanti
ty of tine tools which th-y lelt behind,
forced and bl'.nv open several sales, empty
ing tbcm of their contents. Everything
was found in confusion yestorday morning.
The bank oflicials state that only about
$20,000 in Government bonds belonging to
tbe bank bavo been stolen, the thieves lea
viug a bag containaug $20,000 iu gold in
one of the safes, and over $120,000 in gold
certificates and clearinghouse exchanges for
$30,000 untouched. The securities were
deposited in the bank by customers, and
about $20,000 worth f checks were carried
off. No clue to tbo burglars.
A Child fo.Ua From a Window Fifty
Feel Abovo the Oround.
Saturday morning at about half paBt sev
en o'clock the family of Mr. Charles Fried
man, at No. 195 Main street, was thrown
Into deep distress by an accident of the
most painful character, tbe particulars of
which are as follows: While the nurse was
in a room of the fourth fctory fronting on
Main street, In order to air the room, she
raised tbe sash of a window, the sill of
which is nearly level with the Qoor. Tho
girl then left tbe room for an moment, when
one of tbe children, a bright little glti
named Laura, soma two years old, toddled
to tho windownd in one instant was gone,
Tbe little one fell at least filty feet to the
stone sidewalk, and yet slie was picked up
alive.
It seems that iu the descent the child first
struck upon a large fchow lump attached to
the old billiard moms on iho first floor.
Tbis broke the lull, else it would have dash
ed lbe child in phce!-; as it was tbe skull
was slL-htlv fractured, and Ibo little limbs
badly bruised. A phvsiciau was caed, and
nil thut cutilil be done to ease tbe pain of
the little one w.is eagerly attended to, but
in ppiteol the soothing attention given it
tho poor child died ationt ten o'clock, alter
three hours of Intense suffering.
The ci.ief injury was found to he n slight
fructmv of tbo hea l. Tbe face was not
marred at nil. Iinffiilo Express.
