day afternoon lat Mrs. Benj. Heudricks, an old
nd highly esteemed lady, residing on Walnut
street, this place, was shot through the arm by
a boy through carelessness. The Daily of Mon
day gives the following particulars :
A lame boy, named George Wilver, residing
ou Third street, has beeu iu the habit of shoot
ing at mark, In the lot back of his mother's, di
rectly west of w hich is the reai or kitchen part
of the nendrlcks dwelling, fronting on Walnut
street. He has been repeatedly warned by per
sons living In the neighborhood to leave off the
dangerous practice.
On Saturday, while Mrs. Heudricks was lean
ing over ber cooking stove, engaged ut her
household duties, a ball came crashing through
tbe east kitchen window, entering one arm a lit
tle below tbe elbow, and passing out on the op
posite side, near the wrist ; then, grazing the
forehead of Miss Ella Hendricks, her grand
daughter, It struck an opposite window, crack
ing the glass, and fell to the floor.
The sudden shock caused Mrs. II. to faint.
Miss Ella was considerably scared ; she at once
called Mr. M. L. and Miss Minnie Heudricks
who were in another part of the house, and the
old lady was brought to by meaus of camphor,
Ac.
The course of the ball was traced from the
window at which it entered to the rear of the
Wilver lot. On its way it passed through the
eastern fence of the Heudricks property, the
boards on oue side aud a window ou the other,
ot a wash house in the yard, and the kitchen
wiudow above mentioned. A paper target und a
number of bullet holes were found iu the Wilver
fence, leaving no doubt that the shot was filed
by the boy above referred to. The wound,
though serious, is not likely to produce a fatal
result. Mrs. Hendricks is being cared lor by
Dr. Shindel."
Enterprising Merchants. Messrs. Marx &
Bro. have been receiving, every day during the
past week, holiday goods from the cities, which
are being arranged for a grand opening on to-day
(Friday.) Everybody is privileged to go
in their store to look at tbe grandest display ever
witnessed in Sunbury. We have no doubt that
this general opening of the goods will
be an event long to be remembered, as it will be
a grand show.
All kinds of ready-made clothing, of the most
fashionable styles, are sold cheaper at the Cen,

Brother Toungman of the Gametic has recent
ly been to Philadelphia, and, we are happy to
Cud, has been converted by Moody and SJankey.
lie now excuses himself for his indiscreet article
in w hich he stigmatized Moody and Sankey as a
nuisance. We hope that our neighbor will now
act In the future iu accordance of what he
heard and saw of Moody and Sankey while in the
city. In repudiating what he had previously as
serted, he says :
"An item that inadvertently got into our col
umns, last week, in regard to the Moody and
Sankey movement, placed Kev. Mr. Gcarhurd,
of this place, iu a false position, which he cor
rects iu a card, published in the "Daily," which
we give below. The item may also have been
misinterpreted as regards ourselves. What vvc
partieulaily meant as a nuisarfl-c was the at
tempt to advertise for seltish purposes and cvi
drutly with a view to business, a religious move
ment, as a circus would be advertised. Half a
dozen of such went into our waste basket with
in the past two weeks. Honest difference ot
opinion may be entertained as to the practical
and lasting effect of the Moody and Sankey
movement, but there can bo no question aboi.t
the earnestness aud sincerity of the men en
gaged iu it. We hud uo adequate conception of
the movement until lact Saturday and Sunday,
while in Philadelphia. It is certainly most ex
traordinary, aud may produce extraordinary re
sults ; whether ihey will be lasting c:r not, time
can ou!y develop ; whether, like the Woman's
Anti-liquor Crusade, the object of which was
most praise-worthy, this new crusade will pass
away without hearing fruit, remains to be. seen.
But certainly the times are ripe for a thorough
and radical shaking up. With fraud nnd cor
ruption iu high places ; with murders, robbe
ries, thefts, peculations, and all kinds of imnio- I
r.iiities as the chief themes ia the newspapers, a
revival somewhat resembling a, moiai eariu
quake, would not be out of place. Messrs.
Moody and S.inkey are zealously striving to stir
np such au earthquake.
Tramps. Since the overseers of the poor have
stone hauled to the poor house to be broken to
put on the streets, the number of '-tramps"
have decreased. Those who do slop a, the
Hotel de Tramps appear to care but little about
the present arrangement of that institution.
One evening last week the hotel was honored
with twelve of these guests, and got their
ticket for soup aud bcd3. Thy following morn
iug the superintendent pointed to a pile of stone,
and informed them that if they would break
stone for an hour they would he entitled to a
ticket for their breakfast. One of the- "tramps"'
replied that they had uo objection, provided they
were furnished with tender beef steaf, fresh
bread and coffee. This was declined by the
superintendent, who told them that he could only
furnish them w ith the usual "ratious" that were
givu out at his place, when the "tramps"
tumed on their heels aud departed without
breakfast. The superintendent thinks that it
paid better than if they had accepted his proposi
tion. Since then there has been a falling off of
guests, and the gigmtic stone heap has not ben
reduced much. As the stone nre intended to
be used iu the spring it is hoped that "tramps
will not slight n in the least, and make this a
stopping point as they pass along this route.
In the meanwhile the citizeus should take an in
terest iu the matter, and direct all w ho make
application to them for food to the Hstel de
Tramps.
We notice by the Daily that an cffnt is being
made to organize a Ladies' Christian Associa
tion, iu this place, for the purpose of reclaiming
tbe wayward of their sex. Such an organiza
tion would undoubtedly be commendable, nnd
could not help but result in a vast amount of
good. A similar society has beeu in existence
in the large cities for sometime, and by their
reports has worked admirably. Hundreds u
outcasts have been redeemed through their kind
and christian pursuation, and the history given
by them ol their sufferings while leading :t way
ward life is of the most appalling character. In
our own midst such a society could claim many
who arc just ou the threshhold of going to total
destruction, and some old offenders who are
totally disgusted with the life they lead, and
their hearts, wish is to lead a fetter life, but are
prevented Irom the fact that they meet with no
encouragement Irom any one. mere are many
who would have gladly accepted the proposition
of these christain ladies at sometime or another
who fill a watery or a 6uieidal grave. Though
they were perhaps wicked, they had Mill some
feeling left which if it had beeu cultivated would
have fully redeemed them, but they met on every
side the cold charities of the world, and had
their sense of feeling wounded by the linger ol
orn. The Ladies' Christaia Assoeiatiou is
looking up such cases, and giving them every
encouragement to reform, and we are glad to
learn that their work has been crowned with
great success. Every christian niau and woman
should aid iu the work of reformation by, llii
association, and their labors will ioubly re
warded, aud a better Mate of society wul exist.
The suppression of pride aud encourag ciueut to
labor for a liviug, will dry up many a mother s
tear whose daughter has failed to heed her
christain advice.
Sack Kraut. Doctor some llftecu years ago
considered saur kraut au unwholesome article of
diet, "ind many person could not be prevailed
upon to touch it. Ol" late years that idea is
loosing udvocatcs. Time and experience dem
onstrated that it was a mistakeu impression.
Doctors now recommend it as wholesome, nutri
tious und digestible, and it has become a favor
ite dish ; so much so that nearly everybody re
lishes saur kraut, and it finds its way upou our
most fashionable tables. Saur kraut lunch at
beer saloons has got to be oue of-the great at
tractions. This kind of lunch is served every
Saturday evening by several of our saioon men,
aud the result is that they have crowded houses
during lunch hour. The saur kraut is as much
relished as oysters, and many devour it with a
voracious appetite. One man, we are informed.
liviug only a lew squares from the saloons, eats
a peck every Saturday evening with other condi
ments, and feels happy. But then we don't be

The handsome store ot Mark A Bro., has
been crowded all week by persons who were
selecting handsome holiday presents. There is
no better place In the county to procure some
thing suitable aud cheap. Their dolls which are
the handsomest ever seeu iu this place, air sold
at less prices than they can be bought iu the
city. Other goods are sold at lower rates than they
can be procured in the cities. They buy direct
from importers, and allow the profits made by
the city buyers to their customers here. Their
stock is too large to enumerate ail, ami we there
fore advise all logo and see for tlicmselvei. Re

Wuoi.r.soME Advice to all. Take it before
it is too late, thereby gladdening your own heart
and your whole family. Do it now, for it will
be a valuable present for one, two or three years
to eome, just as you want it. Remember the
state of allairs as they now are, the numerous
tires that we daily hear of, the coming storms
and high winds, the many barns and houses
that are set on tire since the cold winter is upon
us, and the appalling increase of tramps who
want shelter. The use of iullamablc and explo
sive material tiny carry with tlicm, wc would
say take a wholesome a ".vice an-1 go at once to
Geo. W. Coble. Esq., of nerudon, and take a
fire insurance policy ou your house, barn or
household furniture in one of the oldest aud
most reliable companies in the world, the -Etna,
of Hartford, Conn. It will cost you but a trifle
in comparison with the handsome amount you
would realize by it. Remember there is no red
tape or a mutual wild cat business of assess
uieuts or deceptions or drawbacks for the want
of a proper payment. We would then say to all
take our advice and insure with Squire Coble, of
Ilerndon, as his reliability, together with a re
sponsible company, that has stood as firm as the
rock of ages. Not only has this its influence iu
attracting the public to this desirable medium of
insurance, whose agent h is practical knowledge
and experience iu the business.

Truth will last. That good old family
newspaper, the New York Observer, now some
fifty-three years old, still holds on to the old
truths which were so firmly advocated when it
was founded. No new lights or nineteenth cen
tury doctrines have ever caused it to trip or
make any false step. It is always satisfying iu
our day, to take up n newspaper that is sound
and reliable. The Observer conies to us week

The I'ittmii itc.il Gazette. Those who are
arranging lor their home papers for the next
year, will do wisely to send for sample copies of
the PiTTsiiuuGii Gazette, Daily or Weekly, as it
will be seen to be the bett paper published in
Pittsburgh. It is the oldest, being nearly ninety
years old, and lias kept pace with all phases of
modern newspaper piogres.-. It is printed on
new type, nnd cm clean, whte, handsome paper.
Its news is specially full, ami accurate. It re
ceives Cable news from Europe, and Dispatches
from all parts of the country. It has Special
Correspondents in Wai-hiiigton, during the ses
sion of Congress, and at Harrisburg during the
session of the Legislature, and will give full re
ports of all that is interesting i:i the prvcoJiw
ti i ..! j. r " aiicl varied, yet
wi-TtmnJ pure. Its Editorials contain tren
chant discussions of all current subjects, nnd
deal independently with all tlie issues of the
hour. The paper is Republican in politics, but
holds that the party is superior to cliques and
rings. Its market reports are specially full and
complete, and have a reputation that is wide
spread for accuracy and reliability. Its reports
of the live stock market are also the best in the
city. Iu frequent instances, parties iu the coun
try have saved or made considerable sums by
following the accurate reports of prices, given in
the Gazette, iu making their sales. It also con
tains agricultural, household and family reading,
carefully selected. Thus it is a family paper of
great excellence and rare cheapness, as to price.
Its circulation is the largest of the Pittsburgh
press. The Gazette is furnished at the follow
ing tates, and we claim that they afford the
cheapest newspaper published, w hen the size and
quality of the paper are considered :
