The Second Spixlino Bee. Theeeeoud Spell
ing Bee came off in the Court House on Thurs
day evening of last week. The editor of the
American having uecessarily been absent, the
editor of the Gazette also being busily engaged,
aud the editor of the Democrat joining the classes,
expecting to "spell" down the w hole class and
carry off the prize, but uidu't, we aic indebted
to T. J. Sylvius for the following report :
The "Bee" began at about lillccii minutes af
ter eight o'clock. The choir opened the exei
cises by singing "Ho, every one that thirstelh,"
and "A Boat Song," uflcr which W. A. Sober,
Esq., who was "Commander-in-Chief," called a
list of names of per-wnis who had been selected
to take part in the spelling. As ouly a few of
them respoued to their names we did not report
them. He theu announced that any pcrsou or
persons who felt so disposed, were at liberty to
take part in the first contest. A regular rush of
"Young America ' soon filled tbechairs, and the
"C iu C." seemed happy.
The choir theu sang "Chiming of the Bells,"
after which the contest begau. After spelling
around the class half a dozen times and drop
ping about one-third of the contestants, Mr.
Thayer, who was the schoolmaster, announced
that after the choir sang another selection the
prize spelling would begin any persons wishing
to join iu the coutcst could do so. About :i
dozen more entered the class, when the choir
sang "Living Voice."
Before the spelling began the rules were an
nounced. We only got part of them, which we
give: If a speller finished spelling a word im
properly he was to he dropped, but il corrected
before getting through with the word, without
hesitation, he would not be ruled out.
The spelling began aud "cede" was given to a
lady to spell but she didu"t "cede," so flic was
dropped from the ranks. Master Shipman was
under the impression that "numbskull" was
"nuinbscull," but he was mistaken. Christ.
Xeff, jr., "manual" with an "e" instead of an
"a," but it wouldn't take. Miss Mililiouse
wanted "stripped" spelled "etript," hut alter
consulting Webster it was decided that she cut it
rather short. ''Riwlini:" was too much for
Charley Heckcrt, as he only used oue "p," con
sequently he took a scat w here hecouid face the
spellers. Walton Rhoails spelled -'oppugn"
"opptmc," w hich was incorrect, and he changed
his base. Hiram Driesbach wanted to do some
"raveling" with two 'Ts,' but it wouldn't
work, so he got out of the rauKS. "Trolling"
was spelled with oue "1" by a little fellow who
got "bounced" for it. Charlie Seasholtz wasn't
"bowling" but "bolling,"and as it was not correct
he quit spelling. Little Dick Morgan got along
very well uulil he got the word ''carrion," which
was too much for him, and be failed, leaviug
but one "r." Brit. Kirlin wasn't ''gouging"
but he was "gauging," still he was ruled out for
it. Mr. Foy thought it was "arithmatic, but
it happened to be "arithmetic." Miss Ida
Sylvis wanted "conferrable" to have only one
"r" in it. "Tranquility" should be "tranquilli
ty," but II. Y. Fryling didn't think o. Will
Richardson thought the easiest way to sjell
"pinnacle" was "piuiclc ;" it was the shortest
but uot the right way to spell it. Ambrose Hill
wanted people to believe that "rancorous"
ought to"be spelled "raucourocs" but he couldn't
doit. Mr. Thayer wanted a "paradigm" from
Mr. CruutiH.ll aud got "paradym," which did uot
answer the purpose. "Kuick-knucks" was a
"stuuuer" for ye editor ol the "Daily" newspa
per, but after thinking a little while he went for
it and got off "kuick-nacs ;" he concluded to
ut-e his old dictionary a little while longer.
Some person thought "dolible" might safely be
spelled without an "a," but it would uot do.
Eugeue Morgan wanted to hear how "imiaigl"
was pronounced. "Impale" was the word
wanted, so his way of spelling would not an
swer. Mr. Blain thought "supercede" ought to
"supersede" the word "supersede," but il didn't.
Geo. Krause thought more of "corespoudenee"
thau he did of "correspondence," and as "core
spoudeuce" wasn't a good word he stepjicd out
of the way aud left Joe Morgan, Will Faust and
Billy Waismilb to decide between themselves
who was to take the first prize. Billy Waismith
was requested to "inimitk ;' he did it with a
"k" at the end. As Joe Morgan was the next
to miss by s jieliiug "chagrinuiug" with an extra
"u" ou the last syllable. He thought he would
be salicfied with the second prize. Will Faust
was theu alone, but before giving up the school
master seemed determined to stick every speller,
60 he left Will have a few words until he wauled
him to do some "kidnapping" which he did with
one "p."
The choir then sang "Good Night," after
which Gen. Clement presetted the prizes. The
first, a Webster's Dictionary, to Win. B. Faust,
who responded iu a "short but sweet" speech.
The second, it volume of Byron's works, to Joe.
W. Morgan, who also responded. And the
third, a goid pen and holder, to Win. F. Wai
smith, but Billy was "too full for utterance."
The Court Iloiire was pretty full of people and
the good us well as the poor spelling was ap
preciated. Hon. Simon Cameron, U. S. Seuator. was iu
town on Wednesday and Thursday of this week,
visiting Hon. J. B. Packer. Mr. Cameron is in
excellent health, and f rom his general apjear
ance looks as though he would be spared many
years to give his attention to public affairs aud
participate in the councils of the nation. The
General has a warm feeling for Sunbury aud its
vicinity, and is always glad to meet the friends
of his routli.
The account copied from the Daily lat week
of the attempted highway robbery aud shooting
of Andrew Milch is contradicted in the particu
lars as to the s booting aud robbery. We are
furnished a statement by a farmer in the vicinity
I of the occurrence, who happened to be close by
when the shooting took place, which is no doubt
correct. It appears that Mitch had a partner
with whom he quarreled iu the morning, when
the partner refused to accompany him any
further. Mitch, in driving along the road,
struck liis horse with the butt eud of his pistol,
which had becu loaded, aud which went off aud
the shot taking effect iu the wrist. The report
was heard by several farmers in the vicinity, who
went immediately to nscertaln the cause of the
report of the pistol. Mitch astcrted that he had
been shot by a robber, but the farmers nre posi
tive that no person was near Milch at the time
of the occurrence, as he could not have possibly
escaped unless being noticed by them iu crossing
the fields before getting into ihe woods. They
are posilfVe that Miteti shot liim-elf as stated
above, as the pistol was found close by lying iu
a fence corner, aud from information gaiued, it
is supposed that the pistol had been loaded fr
the purpose of 6hooling his partuer.
Fatal R. R. Accident. Yesterday morning,
about 9 o'clock, Jeremiah Nye, a brakeman on
the N. C. R. W., fell off a box car while the
train on which he was employed was passing
Georgetown. He struck his bead square on the
ground, crushing his skull, and causing instant
death, 'Squire Bobb held an inquest ou the
body, the jury rendering a verdict in accordance
with above fac'.s. Mr. Roberts, undertaker at
this place, proceeded to Georgetown and took
charge of the remains, coffining and shipping
them to Marysville, where the unfortunate man
resided. M r. Nye leaves a wife and two child
ren to mourn his untimely end. Daily of Thurt
day. We regret to learn that our friend, Abraham
Blasscr, of Lower Mahanoy township, lost on
last Sunday, by fire, about oue mile of feuce
and about fifty acres of valuable timber land
severely injured, if not entirely destroyed.
We learn from the Shamokin Time, of Satur
day last, that a railroad collision occurred near
Shamokin ou Thursday last, and several persons
were injnred. The Time says :
"Below Trout Run the train had hailed on ac
count of some cattle which wore on the track,
and it had only fairly gotten undet way again
when in rounding the curve below the Cameron
Colliery the engineer observed some coal cars ou
the main track, ouly a short distance abend of
him. He immediately applied the air brakes
and reversed his engine, but found it was too
late to avert a collision ; and so, in order to save
themselves, the engineer and fireman both jump
ed from the engine auu landed without being
hurt. The next rnonieut the engiue collided
with the coal ears, smashing the cars and break
iug the pilot of the engiue. The springs ou the
front truck of the locomotive were also damaged
some, but beyond this the engine did not suffer
any injury. The platform of the baggage car
was broken to 6oine extent, but not badly. The
baggage master having been warned iu time, al
lowed himself to drop down the embankment
and escaped with a jarred constitution. The
mail agent, 'Squire Lake, remained iu the cur,
and was mixed up with the rest of the public
documents. The passengers were considerably
shaken up, auu were all more or less bruised.
E. L. Mowery, of Lewisburg, slightly hurt in
face ; Samuel Gulick, of Riverside, received an
ugly contusiou over his left eye ; Jno. Curtis, of
Shamokin, bruised ; Miss Butler and MissUuise
white, of Sunbury, both slightly iujuied, the
former iu the face and the latter iu her shoulder;
Mrs. B. Lake, of Shamokin, head nyd one ear
cut ; Col. Shuster, conductor, arm slightly in
jured. Conductor Shuster was standing up in
the rear car and the concussion kuocked him
over, his arm becoming fast in oue of the seals,
nnd Supervisor Bralton fell on top of him. Dr.
Robins was ordered to look alter the wounded,
but found that all the injuries were slight. Mr.
G'ilick aud the two ladies from Sunbury retuiued
again on the next train.
The coal cars which caused the accident had
accidentally rnn out of the siding on the main
track, the brakes not having been put on when
they were standing.
The eugine was uot thrown from the track aud
was able to take the train through to Mt. Carmel
and back to Sunbury , alter the pilot was detach
ed and placed in the baggage car. The wreck
was removed after detaining the train about an
hour.
Thomas Uuipleby, the cug'meer of the passen
ger train, is oue of the most efficient aud careful
men in the employ of the railroad company, and
it was impossible for him to avert the aecideut,
as he could not sec the coal cars in time to stop.

Man Shot. Ou Saturday night last a mau
via-, shot lu Shamokin, but not fatally, under
the tollowiug circumstances : Henry Avcrill
ugrecd to call for his wife at the house of a
friend aud accompany her home, but the wife,
after wailing until tier patience was exhausted,
wcut home by herself. At a late hour, about
c-lcvcu o'clock, Avcrill called at the house which
his wife had left. It appears that twj families
live in the house. Avcrill went out of the gate
after finding the folks all abed. Eli Hans, the
neighbor of the family which Mrs. Averill had
bceu Visiting, called to Averill, saying something
about shutting the gate. High woids ensued,
wheu Haas shot at Averill with a revolver, the
ball enteriug his left breast und coming out at
his back. Averill walked home, however, aud
it is thought he is not fatally wounded. Haas
was arrested on Sunday nnd hiought to jail on
Monday. Daily of Tuenday.
Fatal Accident. Charles Shuman, son of
Mr. F. L. Shuman, of Cataflssa, nged nboul M
ycar6, was almost instantly killed at the coal
mines, Glen City, Columbia county, on Wednes
day afternoon last. He was iu the act of coup
ling the cars ut the mine, when he slipped from
the platform and was caught between the bump
ers of the cars and crushed. He was imme
diately extricated but was insensible. He was
carried to the office, but died iu about fifteen
minutes. He was a youth highly esteemed for
his many noble qualities, which endeared him to
his acquaintances. It is an inflicting ktroke to
his family who have our earucst sympathies.

James W. Knicht, Exy. We reget to an
nounce the death of our townsman which oc
curred ut his home on Saturday afternoon last.
The deceased was a public-spirited and useful
citizen, he having been identified with every cn
teiprise tending to advance the interests and
well being of our citizens. From the time he
came to this place, when he entered our institu
tion of learning, his undertakings have bceu
marked by persistent energy. Dependent upon
his own cxeitions he shaped his course udmiia
bly, and his life afiords another proof that well
directed euergy is sure of winning its goal. We
deeply sympathize with the bereaved family,
and point to the fact that God has promised to
care for the widow and orphan, aud through
His grace may they find their consolation.
Freebury Courier of Vie IZth.
The deceased read law with Sol. Malick, Esq.,
of Ibis place, and was admitted to the bar for
the practice of law in 1SG1. He was well and
favorably known to many of our citizens, who
tender their heartfelt sympathies to his family
in their sad bereavemeut.
On Monday last, as Mr. Abraham Blasser wub
returning home from Georgetown, in a buggy,
he was met on the road by two strangers, oho of

asked what he wanted the stranger demanded
his money. By this time a neighbor of Mr.
Blasser's came in sight, and the strangers being
told that be hadn't any they fled Into the woods.
It will be well for our farmer friends to keep
themselves well armed, as the country Is full of
stragglers, many of whom arc, no doubt, noto
rious thieves and scoundrels.
Fob PitOTnoNOTARV. We concur with our
neighbor of the Miltonian in the following notice
of the present efficient Prothouotary. Mr. Rohr
bach has made an excellent officer. Xo com
plaints have been made of him neglecting any
duty pertaining to that office, although he was
constantly watched by political opponents for u
pretext for capital, yet we have repeutedly heard
praises In his behalf coming from the most In
fluential Democrats, who gave him the credit of
being one of the very best officers that has ever
occupied that position In this county. The edi
tor of the Miltonlan says :
L. T. Rohrbach, Esq., the present incumbent
of the Prothonotary's office, publishes his card
in this week's issue of TnE Miltonian aunouue
ing himself tor re-election. The office of Pro
thoilotary is one that should not be made a party
issue. It requires more than ordiuary ability to
make a competent Prothonotary. A prompt,
courteous jind efficient officer should not be
changed in cousequence of his olitics. Mr.
Rohrbach has all these qualities aud has con
ducted the office with signal ability. We most
heartily recommend his re-election.
On Wednesday last a "qnack" doctor named
A. F. Dougare, was committed to prison for a
crime that could only be perpetrated by a mon
ster, viz: rape. This scamp came to the bo
rough of Northumberland last March, claiming
to be an Indian doctor, and professing to be a
great "cure" succeeded in getting something of
a practice. The other day a married woman,
Catharine Duff, went to him for private treat
ment. It appears from our information that
while his wife was getting bandages ready the
'Dr." committed the offense for which he is now
imprisoned, and what is most peculiar he pleads
that the offense was uo offense. He adheres to
this theory, and says it is the mode as practiced
in France.
The telegraph office and depot ol the Phila

hours for the last week. We presume the per- j
son employed to wind the apparatus has been en
gaged by the Court House Ring to assisl infixing
up the slate for the next Democratic County
Convention, and consequently has no time to
give to the striking fixtures of the clock that it
may ri' the ''time 'o day" for the dear people.
Scnih ry and Lewistown Railroad. There
is a fair prospect that this road will soon be put
into operation. Gen. S. M. Zuliek, of Philadel
phia, his brother, C. M. Zulick, of New York,
aud E. C. Moore were in Sunbury the greater
part ol last week engnged in settling charges
and making other arrangements preparatory to
re-opening the road for business. These gentle
men say the road w ill be operated independent of
the Pennsylvania Co. If no arrangement can
be made with the X. C. R. W. from Selinsgrove
Junction, a change of cars at that point will be
necessary. It is contemplated to build the road
from Selinsgrove to Port Trevorton, with a bridge
across the river at that point. Provided no nr
raligetneut can be made to run theS. it L. trains
over the X. C. R. W. from Selinsgrove Junction
to Sunbury, efforts will be made to extend the
road to this place from Selinsgrove on the we.-t
side of the river, reinovingthe railroad bridge at
Selinsgrove to this poiuL.
A Shooting Match. A shooting match came
of! at the Weigh Scales, this side of Shamokin, on
Monday last, betweeu David Whitebousc, of
Pottsville, and Richard Eiscnhait, of Shamokin,
for $200 a side. The wager was to shoot fifteen
pigeons each. Whitebousc shot ten, nnd Eiscn
hait six, when the wager was decided in favor of
the former. The match attracted a number of
persons Horn this place and Shamokin to wit
ness the shooting.
Mrs. Gai by, residing in Brady township, near
Montgomery Station, was engaged in boiliug
soap on Monday last, and her clothing taking
fire, she become panic-stricken and rushed
through the fields screaming fearfully. She
was finally caught and the lire put out, but not
until hei arms aud body were very badly burned.
We are pleased to learn that the accident will
not, in all probability, prijve fatal. .Wiw-y

THE LIGHT Rl'XXIXG "DOMESTIC."
The "Iometic."
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machiuc iu all its parts aud processes. It is
easily understood ; familiarity with its action is
very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of Special fckill In the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in tho "Do
me&tk:" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. (juletnesg no Cams or Gear Wheels.
u. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stileh.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con-
Stl'IK'tioll.
5. Absence of all Friction.
C. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of Operation.
We do not say that the "Domestic" is the ouly
Machiuc worthy of public favor. Wc admit
there are some possessing real nnd acknow
ledged merit ; but we do claim, aud are prepared
to demonstrate, that tho "Domestic" has many
excellcuces that render it dacUUdly tujurio)' to
any oilier Jfaehine now before the public.
i.et every woman, therefore, examine for her
self into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, not to be care
lessly made ; oue that will Influence her com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" In her possession, she wiil find her sewing
become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she will have
the time aud strength to add beauty and elegance
to work in which before she has been obliged to
content hcrelf with bare utility.
