people at the station persist in crowd
ing into the cars before the peoplo in
the cara have come out. It creates a jam
and causes ill nature, profanity, crushed
bonnets and hoops, besides giving pick
pockets the best opportunity ia the
world to practice their 'profession.'
There is no necessity for it, because the
cars are bound to allow a reasonable
timo for passengers to get aboard, just
as much as they are obliged to wait for
the baggage to be put on. It seems
singular to us that the railroad manag
ers do not inaugurate a reform in this
natter. Let the people inside the car,
m arriving at the station where they
ish to stop, get off the front end, and
lot those wishing to leave the station get
on at the hind end. By so doing both
ihe debarkation and the embarkation
v-ould be accomplished much more rap

A most horrible outrago occurred at
Elkland, Tioga county, on Friday even
ing last. A negro who was at work at
the Traverse House attacked a young
lady just below Elkland, forced her to
one bido ot the road and outraged her
person three times. In her struggles
her clothes were torn nearly off, and
the negro fiend choked her and threat
ened to kill her with a large knife, and
fiaa'ly dragged her to a race, and held
her head under water till life was nearly
extinct. He then left her more dead
than alive, and as soon as she was able,
she returned to Elkland and told her
horrible story. The negro was arrested
and seut to the county jail. This same
negro has served one term in the peoiten
tiary for burning the barn ot Frank
Lovcll, in which a valuable horso was
lost, and was believed to have been the
author of a series of incendiary fires
that occurred ia that neighborhood
some time previous. The young woman
was at work for Juo. Purkhurst, a prom
inent citizen ol Elkland, and has always
borne a good character and is well con
nected. 1'oiUr Eiitcrjirisc.
Found Bead. Oa Thursday morn
ing, August 13th, a man named James
Kenton, was found dead in his bed, at
tho St. Charles hotel, in this place
For eoiiie days previous he was oiog
about towa greatly under the influence,
of lirjuoi', which, evidently, he obtaiued
in some surreptitious manner, as there
arc no lieeur.ed houses here. An in
quest was held on tho body, and a ver.
diet reudered ot "Died ot Apoplexy;"
but it is generally conceded that, al
though the immediate cause of his death
may have been appolcxy, jet the pri
mary cause was severe dissipation for
some days previous. The remains of
the unfortunate man were buried on
Thursday evening. Since then, a fur
ther investigation in reference to where
the deceased obtained the liquor which
he drank, together with some other cir
cumstances connected with his dissipa
tion, were had, but with what result we
have not learned. Wo hope tho case
may be thoroughly ventilated, and all
violators of tho law, if any, severely
punished, as a warning to others who
engage in the unlawful sale of intoxicat

Yesterday alternoon says tho Titus
villo Courier, of 14th inst officers Miller
and Breed were called to a house on
Mechanic street, near the corner of
Perry, whero the "sound of revelry by
night," and also day had been heard by
tho neighbors for a long time. Upon
entering the house, the officers found
one of the most dilapidated looking
place for a human being to quarter, that
has ever come to their notice, where
any quantity of filth and very little furni
ture . were visible. Upon a miserable
apology for a bed lay three woman in a
beastly state of intoxication, und setting
upon the bare floor, leaning her head
agaiost a box, was an old woman at
least seventy years of age, also beastly
drunk. Sitting on a box in another
corner, was the man of the house, intoxi
cated clear through. None of them
had scarcely clothing enough on their
persou to cover their nakedness. The
officers found it necessary to call into
servico a dray, in whieh the whole
"party" were loaded, and rolling about
on the bottom of the wagon box, in an
unconscious condition, they were hauled
to the lock-up when the process of un
loading was commenced.
