The Tramps who appropriated the

D. adi In a Fulling Limb.
A man at W. G. McMinnis' camp
at Power's Run named Charley Hu
gen, was killed on Saturday last by a
limb falling and striking him on the
head while he was felling a tree. One
tree had lodged against another, and he
cut down the standing tree first, not
withstanding the advice of exper
ienced woodsmen to the contrary. A
limb nine feet long and about six in
clus in diameter fell striking him on
the bead, from the cfFect of which
death ensued almost instantly. The
man had been at the camp but two or
three days, was a native of the State
of Maine, and had been a sailor, und
had unumher of stars worked in India
ink on one wrist. His height was
five feet ten inches. His head was
buld; his moustache and hair brown.
The remains were buried in the new
cemetery on Sunday.
Mr. Vendor's Predict tans.
The Albany Argus, in a recent issue,
says: Prof. Vennor is earlv in the
field with his weather predictions for
the coming winter. In a private letter
to the Aryua, under date of last Fri
day, hesay: ' Snow-falls will be very
universal tills season, und will extend
In till prooability not only far to the
southward in America, but across to
Europe. The snow-fall of the lSth
was marked in this respect." His
predictions for December are us fid
lows: December Will, in ull probability,
open with little snow, but. the weather
will be cloudy, threatening snow-falls
During the opening days of the month
dust, with a very light mixture of
snow which may have fallen, will be
swept in flurries by the gusty wind.
I nere win prnoabiy be some snow
from about the 4th of the month.
With the second quarter of the month
colder weather will probably set in
with falls rf snow. The farmers will
be able to enjoy sleigh rides in thecold,
exhilarating air, but good sleighing
need not be expected until after the
middle of the month. There will be a
spell of mild weather about the 13th
and 14th. After a brief interval of
mini weather, tlurliijr which more
snow will fall the third quarter of the
month will probably see blustering
and cold weather a cold snap with
heavy snow-storms and consequent
good sleighing. Very cold weather
may be expected during this quarter.
The last quarter of the month will
bring milder weather, but wlil termi
nate, probably, with heavy snow-lulls
und stormy weather; in fact, the lieav
est snow-fall will be toward the end of
I he month, und snow bloc'tudes limy
be looked out lor, the snow-fall extend
ing fur to the southward, pnsihly us
far as Washington, with very stormy
weather uround New York and Bos

make an angel of him, but have
failed to get it done. On Saturday he
had a little fall of about sixty feet
making a thirteenth in his short life
time. He wus at the top of a smoke

sent from the depot down the sid

siding, and when the car came down
it took theguy wire jerking down the
smoke-stack and with it Mr. Hiues.
James managed to stick to the stuck
und when the whole thing got to the
ground he turned up on top. No bones
were broken, but his left arm is with
out sensation, and lie fears paralysis
He is able to be around ami will soon
be ready for the fourteenth encounter.

A special dispatch from Bradford
to the Buffalo Express under the date
of Nov: 24, says: At three o'clock
this morning the dwelling of John C.
Looker, at Summit, eight miles from
Bradford, was discovered on fire just
in time for the family to rush out in
undress. Subsequently the terrible fact
came to the father's mind that a four-year-old
boy was still in the building.
He ran back and found hint standing
by u window, surround. -d by fire. The
father snatched the child in his arms
und rolled him iu the snow. A few
hours afterward the little fellow died
in great agony from his injuries. The
building was a small frame structure,
and burned rapidly. The neighbors
came to the relief of the Looker fam
ily with clothing.

A Brilliant Set.
Wellsboro Agitator.
We are Informed by a correct return
sheet nnd note attached, sent to R. C.
Cox, Prothonotury, last week, that the
Clerks of the election board for Bloss
township made an omission In filling
out the return sheets filed in the Fro
thonotary's office. It seems that for
President Neal Dow, Prohibitionist,
received one vote In Bloss; for Audi
tor General, Robert P. Decliert, Dem
ocrat, 82; E. A. L. Roberts, Qreen
backer, 160, and G. F. Turner, 1 vote;
for Representative W. T. Humphrey
received 174 votes. All of which do
not appear on the official return sheet.
The election board make excuse that
they were new hands nt the business,
therefore the mistake. But, gentle
men, take this bit of advice: Don't
do so again, for this little matter might
have kicked up a big muss in local
politics in case the election had been
close. As it Is, the addition of tho
above figures would not change the
result, and the statement made in the
Agitator last week is still true, that
Dr. Humphry run behind tbe fusion
strength in the county. The Court
had concluded the count, and the re
port was forwarded to Harrisburg
several days before the Bloss election
board made their correction.
Railroad in ill cite an.
Bradford Era.)
A railroad map of Pennsylvania
don't look precisely like a cob-web,
but the State Is thoroughly traversed
in every direction und connected in
all sections by the iron links- Of the
sixty.seven counties in the common
wealth there are now but two county
towns that are witho'it railroad con
nections. They are Coudersport, Pot
ter county, and McConnellsburg, Ful
ton county. In none of the sixty
seven counties is there one the soil of
which Is so entirely free from railroads
as Potter. Although it is one of the
largest counties, there is not more
than two miles of roa I within its con
fines, that being where the B. N. Y. fe
P. road makes a slight detour through
Keating township. Until not many
years ago, Smetliport was also one of
the county towns that hud no rail
road outlet. Even now it may be said
to be practically in that condition us
the McKcuu fc Buffalo road passes the
town at a distance of fully cue mile.
The town has been compelled to build
toward the railroad rather than the
railroad making a closer approach to
the town. In u fe.v wed s, however,
the blanch of the Bradford, Bordell &
Kinzua railroad will be completed
into the centre of the town. Smetli
port will then enjoy excellent railroad
facilities und be directly connected
with every part of the country. Witii
that branch of the road extended to
Kane the county of MoKeau will be
skirted on three sides.crossed entirely
in one direction und well traversed iu
the northern portion with railroads,
making all sections of the country of
easy and quick communications.

Lessons of the State Canrass.
N. Y. Sun.
The State Canvassers have certified
that the total vote cast for President
and Vice President at tho recent
election In ill this State wiis 1,103,045
The whole votb thrown In 1876 was
1,015,502. This shows a gain of 88,
443 votes. The Increase in the Dem
cratlo vote 12.602, while the Increase
in the Republican vote 60.337, making
an aggregate of 78,8fJ9. The remainder
of the increase is 9,543, which is
mainly due to the gaiu in the Green
back vote given to Weaver over that
thrown for Peter Cooper in 1870.
It will be perceived thnt, though
both of the great parties In this Stute
have given a larger vote for President
this year than they cast In 1879, the
gain of the Republicans' is 53,775 more
than that of the Democrats. The de
tails of the State canvass exhibit n fact
no less significant than tills. It ap
pears thut just about one-half of this
gain of the Republicans over the
Democrats Is found iu the counties of
Rockland, West Chester, New York,
Kings, Queens, Suffolk, and Rich
mond, which are the Democratic
strongholds of the State.
If the Democrats of this State wish
their party to grow, they will do well
to inquire diligently into the causes of
their failure to make gain" among the
voters within the past four years us
rapidly us tho Republicans.
