a highwayman, this forenoon, between that
plaee and l'itbole, si follows:
Puhkr. Pa., March 4tb, 72.
Ed. Record: While on my way from
Pitbole, tbis morning, in eompaoy with Mr.
Foley, ol this plaoe, we discovered a man
lying on the road side, who wai terribly out
about tbe bead and Lee sod iosensible,and
(torn eoqutring ot a Mr. Smith who had
oome to bis assistance just previous to our
arrival, learned bis name to be Mr. Daniel
Delo, formerly a resident of Plumer. We
immediately bad blm removed to Mr.
Smith's bouse and bl wounds dressed. At
6rst we supposed be had received bis injur
ies by being thrown from his horse. Sitae,
however, be has recovered bis senses and
informs those in attendance that be was
knocked from bis horse by a large heavy set
man, and alter a brief struggle was terribly
beaten, rendered Insensible and robbed. He
says the man first cnaght tbe borte by the
bits, and ordered him (Delo) to give up bis
money. He replied "I have none. " Tbe
villain then demanded bis watch, to which
Mr. D. replied "I don't oarry any." The
man then dragged bint from bis horse and
beat bim as above stated. Mr. D. bad but
one dollar and fliteen cents, a knife and pipe
on bis person, all of which tbe villeiu took
and fled. It Is feared Delo cannot recover
tbe injuries about his bead being of so ex
ceedingly dangerous character. The rob
bery occurred about two miles Iron Plumer
on tbe main road to Pitbole. There is no
clue to the perpetrator of this dastardly out
rage and probable murder of an innocent
road. G. S. D.
If caught, tbe scoundrel should be strung
up to tbe limb of tbe Brat tree tbat came

to tbe place, it originated. Tbe loss will
not exceed $300, but promised at one time
to be tb moat disastrous fire which ever oc
curred here. It was caused by the bursting
of a derrick lump, anil we only wonder that
these accidents aro not more frequent.
We have an idea tbat some kind ot a lamp

Tbe weather and moonshine of tie past

chief pleasure of our city domestics, known
as '-gate sparking.' Msny a property own

why tbe eld thing don't work easier. Of

Cleveland Leader.
Tbe Cleveland Plaindealer says tbe reason
Mrs. Scott Slddons Is unable to fulfill berj
lyceum engagementa In tbis country tbe
present sesson is, that her basband died In
jail, for debt, in Cork.
Again tbe most astonishing rumors are in
circulation about Mrs. Laura Fair, to fh
effect tbat she bas several times attempted to
poison herself, and that she is gradually
dying Irom prison confinement.
A country editor who was threatened with
the cry of "Slop my paper," because his

thus replied:

Our paper is wholly our own;

Who don't on just let It alone.

j imparts to a dry, harsh skin, the lOftuess ol

country air and sunlight are pretty sure to
produce, in spite of parasols and sundowns,
are completely obliterated by it; while it
bas a perfketly magical effect in banishing
undue redness, blotches and pimples from
the skin; When the lady who lias used it
lo remedy hercumplexional defects looks in
tbe, mirror, sbe ia equally astonished and
gratified at tke improvements lu her ap

tbey would work in barmouy. A meeting
was called to meet at Warren on Wednes
