$500 Reward. The frequent burglaries
and highway robberies perpetrated in our
midst recently by a gang of outlaws have
produced quite a sensation, and it will be
observed by an advertisement in this issue
that the Sheriff and County Commissioners
have taken proper steps to bring the scoun
drels to justice, by offering a liberal reward
for the apprehension of the parties impli
cated in these public outrages
It behooves every good citizen to guard
well his premises, and put himself in com.
munication with the Sheriff, who is deter,
mined to use his bst efforts to bring about
the arrest of these vagabonds who are
preying upon society
The partieB who robbed Mr. Mossop's
store, on the night of the 22d of June last.
and those who robbed Mr. Bridge's store,
on the night of the 1st of August, assaulted
and shot Mr. Kerr; on Third street, on the
night of the 12th of October, as well as (he
two ruffians who garroted Mr. Arnot in the
Market street bridge, on the night of the
Ctli iust., are all at large yet. A fellow,
named Thos. Anderson, was arrested on
suspicion and imprisoned, fur assaulting
aud robbiug Mr. S. V. Loom is, on Locub
street, on two' occasions, but '.That the
proofs are against him we are unable to
say. One thing is certain: if this highway
business is not stopped, somebody who is
not guilty may incur the death penalty; be
cause '.he temper of this community is
pretty well elevated on that subject, and if
some one should get gobbled up under sus
picious circumstances it will take but little
testimony to elevato such a one to the eras
bar of a lams post, or the limb of one of our
shade trees. Those, therefore, who wish
to avoid a hazard of this kind had better
deport themselves circumspectly; if not,'
somebody will get hurt.
We are no advocate of mob law, but we
confess we are willing for example's sake'
to dispense with a great deal of ceromony
in the arrest and conviction of a burglar, or
a highway robber, as matters now stand in
his vioinity. Clearfield Republican.
The majority against woman suffrage
is very heavy in Michigan, aod its ad.
vocates in the West are consequently
much discouraged.
On Saturday at Central Village, near
Plaiofie'.d, Conn., a boy of 12 years shot
his brother, aged 2 years, dead on the
spot, and wounded his sister so severely
that she is not expected to live. The
deed was done with an old gun, whicb
was left loaded in a bedroom. ,
Ac old gentleman who was ill at the
Dalavan House, Albany,. recently, sent
at the time for the Messrs, Burden, ot
the Troy .Iron Works. One of the
clerks in the office of the Brudens came
to see him. An interview revealed the
fact that the sick man had owed the
Brudens a bill of $90 for twenty-three
years. Through the agency of interest
the bill bad increased to nearly $300.
The amount was paid to the clerk.

Important Suit Determined.
An important case, in which some of
the big wigs of the Democracy, includ.
ing Jeremiah S. Black, C. R. Buckalew,
Geo. W. Woodward and Francis W.
luges were employed on either side,
has just been determined in Blouius
burg, Columbia county, Pa., the Read
ing Coal and Iron Company deing tho
successful parties the property direetly
ut issue being valued at $800,000,
though the particular case decided is
one of six resting on analogous princi
ples of law, aod practically decides the
other five, all of which include about
2,800 acres of valuable coal property,
and is probably worth four millions of
dollars. The action was one of eject
ment, brought by George K. Tyron, of
Philadelphia, and James J. Dull, of
Harrisburg, to reoover possession of 436
acres of valuable coal land in Schuylkill
county, known as tho Philip Miller tract,
tho actual defendants in the suit being
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal aod
Iron Company, who purchased the land
several years since from Samuel A.
Munson and Helen E. M. Williams, of
Utica, New York. In this last trial,
under the direction of Judge Elwell,
the jury brought in a verdict in favor
of the company defendants on all points,
thus virtually terminating the long and
vexations litigation. This is the second
trial, a first trial having taken place in
Pottsville before Judge Ryon.
A Mechanical Index. In the
Registry of Deeds office, in Dublin,
there is an ingenious invention by
which through the agency of me
chanical index and the use of printing
and photography, searches in that office
are to be facillitated. The inveutioo
00m prises the substitution of a simple
mechanical index for the numerous
books now in use, aod the application of
printing and photography in produoing
the transcripts or copies whioh are re
quired. The index is placed in a
wooden case about the bight of an ordin
ary office desk, and oonsists ot a roll of
suitable paper, which is coiled round
cyllinders, which in the model are
turned by handles at the side. If a
person wants to know whether there is
a charge affecting the lands of a certain
person, he turns the handle of the left
hand side, and in a minute brings up
tbe particular letter under which is the
name he wants. The rapidity of the
registration will be understood when it
is explained that instead of having the
memorials compared and copied by
writers, the deed are photographed, the
printer gets the plates as his copy, and
the originals, instead of being left to be
thumbed and mauled and torn by per
sons who have to refer to them, are de
posited at nooe in fire proof safes.
A great forest fire has been raging in
the vicinity of Hartfield, Mass., for
week past, but is now under control.
About 6,000 acres of timber land have
been burned over.

AUDIT
WASHINGTON.
BF.P3BT OF TJCB QRNERAL Or TUB AUNT.
Washington. Nov. 9 Geoeral Sher
man's annual report shows the total
number of enlisted men in the army on
October 15th to have been 26,441. It I
estimates that this number will probably
be reduced through natural causes by
the 1st of January, 1875, to the 25,000
allowed by law. It deprecates the
inadequacy of so small an army for the
demands of the large area of territory it
has to be scattered over. It complments
highly tbe efficiency of Geoeral Sheri
dan and his subordinate officers in main
taining comparative peace in the Indian
country. It says the reports of com
manding officers demonstrate that the
small army ot the United States, called
a peace establishment, is tbe hardest
worked body of men in this or any
oountry. The discipline and behavior
of the officers and men have been worthy
of all praise, and whether employed on
the extreme and distant frontier or in
aiding the civil officers in the execution
of civil processes, have been a model for
the imitation of all good men. In re
gard to tbe removal of his headquarters
he says "I am prepared to execute the
duties that may be developed on me by
proper authority. Here 1 am centrally
located, aud should occasion arise 1 can
personally proceed to any point of this
continent where my services are
needed."
