There was quite an excitement in
town one day limt week over the dis
covery of a baby's log in a pile of old
bmies at the Tanning Company's bone
mill. The leg was apparently cut oir
with some sharp Instrument just above
the knee and wa still in a fair state of
preservation. How tho lc;r came
there, what had become of (he rest of
the body and was it really a murder or
not was a profound mystery which all
tried to solve In their own way. The
Doctor was of the opinion that the
baby was six mouths or n year old and
thought an inquest should be held at
once. Vhile others hooted at the
idea and thought it would be a ridicu
lous farce for six men to sit on a baby's
leg and perhaps the baby still alive.
Some proposed to put it in a box puck
it nicely with cotton and have it de
cently buried while others with ap
parently less humanity said the body
had undoubtedly gono through the
bone mill and they might just as well
pitch in the leg and let it all go to
gelber. The company has been get
ting bones front Warren, Sheffield,
Titusvillc and other places, so it Is
impossible to tell whence it came.
The leg was on exhibition one whole
day and scores of excited people went
to view the the wonderful mystery.
Some perfectly horror struck at the
thought of so dark a deed as the kill
ing of a poor littleinuocent baby while
others would laughingly pass on and
make some jocular remark about the
baby's leg in a box. Any one hav
ing lost a baby or a buby'slegor
wishing further information relative
to thi" dark ami mjvterious affair can
write to Judson Schultz, Ezra Rohue
or Dr. Straight who will cheerfully
give all Information in their power.

to the prisoners leiiig ttiie of the clear
est and most impartial addresses to
men in bimllar positions we have ever
read, totally disregarding the positions
and influence of these state prisoners
he read them a lecture that deserves
to be printed in every newspaper in
the land as a warning to those in
high places that the majesty of the
law must and shall be vindietcd, and
that, quoting the Judge's words, '"the
beggar in rags and the millionaire in
broadcloth stand on precisely the
same footing; theone is to be impris
oned for stealing a loaf of bread, the
other is not to escape, who, by ids
criminal acts, may involve the state in
the loss of millions." The beggar
and millionaire to be tried and sen
tenced Impartially and without pre
judice as to theone's rags or the other's
line linen, was an itlea that struck
the hearts of the common people as
being a innovation on the usual man
ner of dip rising justice that, like the
little leaven that leavened the whole
loaf, might in time enter our temples
of justice until in time equal and
exact justice should be the rule and
not tho exception. Throughout the
length and breadth of our fair rotate
the people rejoiced at the righteous
ness of the sentence and tho beautiful
ei'i'eet its faithful carrying out would
have on the rascals wlit infest the
seats and lobbies of our state legisla'
tore, feervilo newspapers, however
at once began to wait and lament that
the sentence was too severe and the
punishment excessive, for the simple
rcaMJU we suppose that the men en
gaged in the pleasant and lucrative
occupation of bribing legislators had
so long escaped punishment that cus
tom in a manner sanctioned the
enormous crime. , lit justice, however,
to the common people we will state
that they btill abided by the ilrst. im
pulse that if there was nn excess in
any direction' it was in the amount of
crime over the punishment, an I that
bad Judge Pearson being a tridu more
severe the bribers would no mure than
have hud their just deserts. Ktiil the
hired newspaper howled anil the lead
ing politicians howled and the per
Minal friends of the beautiful live
howled, until tit List tho board of par
dons cau,-;!it the infect ion, and we
will not n.iw pretend to n.iy what else
they caught lor .'ear wi might do any
honorable gentleman injustice.
It was on liie i liit d.ty of April, A.
D. PW;i, that a special meeting of the
Board o:' Pardon wai called and to
which the eyes of the pitrnle looked
with the expectation that the bul
wark which once before had stood
ho tempest in defence of the lights r
tiie people would again prove equal to
the emergency. Also, how vain and
transient the delusion. After a short
private session thcB.i.ird recommend
ed that the imp.isoniuent of one year
he remitted. The tine of .$'..Uii'i and
cost was then paid and the prisoners
released from jail. Comment is un
necessary although that beautiful vis
ion of "a heggar in rags and million
aire in broadcloth" getting even jus
tice lias vanished but it will be ix long
time before the people forget
that by some means or other impris
onment of millionaires is playid out
and that this action of the Board of
Pardons btill fun her oilers a premium
to the wealthy tr.iuress.ir.

(I'ltUburK Leader, April 20.
A number of gentlemen interested in
the building of what is to be known
as the "New York, Ridgway & Pitts
burgh Railroad," which Is to run
through Western Pennsylvania hell
a conference in Philadelphia last Sat
urday. A temporary organization
was formed by the election of Mr
Charles R. Earley as President and
ex Governor Andrew G. Cui'tin. Win.
M. Stewart, (of B. K Jamison & Co.,i
Eugene Qtiackcubush and Sboridau
Gorton as Directors, und Lucius Rog
ers as Secretary.
The new road is to be built from a
point near Tionesta, in Forest County
to Ridgway, in Elk county, thus con
necting the Allegheny Valley and the
New York and Erie railroads. This
new enterprise only involves the con.
at ruction of fifty miles of railroad,
and when it is completed will secure a
beeline from Pitt-burgh to Buffalo.
The present movement isa reorgaiiiza
ion of the Northern Railroad and
Navigation Company, incorporated
by the Pennsylvania 'Legislature in
1S'J7, and afterward known as the
Pennsylvania portion of the Rochester
Nil huh fc Pennsylvania railroad. The
new company is legally possessed,
alter due sale under execution, of all
the rights, franchises and properly oi
the original company. The frasi
chisesureextrenieSy vuluab!c,thoug!: it
!s understood that it is the present
intention to only use that portion of
them authorizing the building of the
road referred to. The oiglnal com
pany had several acts passed in its in
terest and till will doubtless be found
valuable sooner or later. The iirst to
organize the Northern railroad imrl
Navigation company was approved
March 21, lsc.7, and gave power to
construct a railroad from the state
line at or near where it is crossed by
the Allegheny river in McKean county
to the Bouiheru line of Elk county,
ami to connect with tho Philadelphia

and bringing the edges together again.
It has the exact weight of the g.nuine
