Tanner, of this place. Young Tanner was fishing for trout that day. He discovered the body in the stream, partly covered with water.

Stevenson, John Kilgus, Win. Lough ridge, Samuel Tanner, John M. Noble, accompanied by others from this place, anil by James McConachy, brother of the deceased, and also by residents of the township, visited the body, removed it from the stream and held an inquest. James McCon achy recognized the body of his long lost brother John. He was positively sure that the coat, shirt boots and truss belt, found on the deceased, were woiu by his brother when he left home His head and face, which were lying above the water, were beyond recog nition. The remainder of his body was submerged in water, nnd upon ex amination, was found to be well pre served the flesh being solid and hav ing a natural appearance. It was the opinion of the coroner's inquest that the deceased ctime to bis deafli by drowning. Xear the place where the . body was found is u deep bole where the water is probably eight or ten feet deep, surrounded by a net work of logs and brush. The supposition is thut the deceased accideiitly fell into this place at the time he was missing from home, and remained there until the high water washed his body to the place where it was found.

Andrew Tracy has passed another sad and trying scene in the terrible drama of which he is the principal ; that of having received the sentence of death. At the convening of court, Thurs day afternoon, the room was well filled with those Whose curiosity led them to witness this solemn ceremony. The prisoner entered the room with a firm step, but was very pale. He wus accompanied by Sheriff Bart well. To the usual question which is asked on such occasions, Tracy replied, "Before God, I have no feeling of guilt. I am uncoiislmis of guilt. I have been unfortunate." The attor neys tor the defence having nothing to say why sentence should not be pronounced, His Honor, Judge Wll llinns, proceeded In, substantially, the following manner i " - It now becomes the duty of the Court to pronounce the sentence of the law. The law Is In haste to shed no man's blood. The crime you stand convicted of Is murder. Of the homi cide there was no dispute and the only question- was the degree and thut was found to be the first. Your victim wus not your enemy, but your friend who loves you purely. Her only cuusc that she sought to restrain her affection for you in obedience to the dictates of her religion, the require ments of her church and in honor to her' parents There was much in your story to excite our pity. Your dissa pointmeiit at the inseparable obstacles to your marriage were doubtless great, but that could not justify your con duct. Nor could we J ml sufficient in the eyi donee to justify the belief that your reason could be dethroned or your accountability Impaired. But the duly which the law impresses must be discharged, no matter how earnestly we may wish thut it had fallen upon other shoulders than ours. The sentence of the Court is: That you, Andrew Tracy, convicted of the crime of murder in (lie first degree, do suffer death by hanging by the neck, in accordance with the provisous of the Act of 31st of March, 1800 and may He whose preiogutive it is to for give sins, have merry on you. After the above sentence wus pro nounced, Tracy sablI hope He may. I have had but ll'tle mercy here.

His teambecoming fright ened at the noise of an approaching locomotive on the nan-ow gauge rail road, dashed ahead at a tori lie rate. The torpedoist lost control over the animals, which finally overturned the wugon' its driver und its dangerous contents, damaging everything, but the glycerine quite considerable. It was u marvel that the fluid did not ex plode. If it had, further comment on the vehicle, the animids or a coffin for the man would have been superfluous. Olean I'imvH. Glade Run Tannery, about 1J mi lea above Warren, was destroyed by lire lust Thursday afternoon, April, 24, together with the ljiuphinery, leather and hides. - The tluiuea were first dis covered in a room over the boilers about 2:20 o'clock, and soon spread through the whole building, connect ing with a new store building east of the tannery, the Unnery office und store buildings, and u large boarding house, all of which were destroyed, ex cepting the boarding-house. The residence of Mr. Van Vechten, across the road opjxisite (lie tannery was destroyed, as were also his barn, with most of their contents. Loss $3,- 000, insurance $1,200. The barn of Mr. Ualdeusperger, west of the tannery ou the hill, ulso caught and was soon a total loss. When the fire was first discovered, a man was sent to Warren on horseback asking -the, services of the fire department. The fire-bell was rung, and was quickly answered by the steamer, Niugru, Rowland and Clark hose companies und a large number of our citizens. The steamer was put in place in Glade Run and "the boys" soon had three streams wettiug down the flames, saving part of the boarding-house and a barn near by, which stood between the tannery aud immense piles of bark, and thus preventing additional loss. The whole fire department worked untiringly and earnestly, saving all that was not entirely consumed when they arrived, and are deserving of great credit. L. A. Robertson, of New York, owns the tannery, it being in charge of Mr. Sharpe, und was doing a large business, We understand it will be rebuilt as soon as possible. Mr. Sill, insurance agent, informs us that there is insur ance ou the buildings, machinery aud stock burned in twenty-one companies to the amount o $30,lu0, aud some on the bark not burned.
