We notice in tome cf our exchanges that an
effort is being made to do away with the oath of
office and substitute another less stringent than
the one under the new Constitution. We be
lieve it would have a good effect and save many

Ol"R friend 8. N. Gaynian, of Purdytown, ad-
acent to this borough is engaged iu iuelosing
his fli-h pond by a substantial stone wall, so
that fish will be unable to escape. Several new
ponds have beeu dug within the enclosure for
the propogating of the different species of fish.
The pounds cover about an acre of ground,
through which flows a stream of fresh spring
water, which passes out through fine scives.
Two of the pounds abound with black bass of
various seizes. Several trout are kept in the
spriug over which a building is erected. A
large number of trout eggs are now beiug hatch
ed out which are Intended to be placed iu one of
the new pouuds. Mr. Cayman has made
fish culture a study, and understands fully pro
pogatiug them. It is a flue sight to see his col
lection of fish, and' his ponds are visited fre
quently by strangers and others.
Br Li. fkoos in the dead of winter is a rarity,
but Mr. S. X. Gaynian has four large sized frogs
in one of his fish ponds, which he takes delight
in showing to his friends. A few days ago when
the weather was pretty warm tliee frogs came
out from underneath a board shelter, and com
menced to croak as happily as if it were in spring
time. Mr. Gaynian had intended to slaughter
them for bis Christmas dinuer, but wisely con
cluded to keep them over winter, and la the
spring raitt a family of frogs to give hi6 friend
a Christmas dinner on frogs during the Cen
tennial year.
Tns inauguration of Gov. J. F. Hartranft, on
Tuesday last, was attended by a large number
of editors from every part of the State. Among
them we noticed Hro. Beckley, of the Blooms
burg JlrpHbliean, who worn a clerical appear
ance, liio. j. t. Magiuuis, of the Williams-
port Ctzfttt t Bulletin, was the most sedale man
cd the ground. Bro. Hart, of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, looked young and handsome. Bro.
Morton, of the JfUtotuan, looked solemn and
was taken for a clergyman. Bro. Kinsloe, of
the Lock Haven ltqublitan, was decidedly the
handsomest man on the ground. Bro. J. J.
Auten, of the Watsontown Record with his cot
ton umbrella, was variously taken as a Centen
utiriau editor. lie took his whiskey straight, aud
declared that if he and our worthy County
Treasurer had'nt knocked thunder out of the
Erie Convention, by hammering on sheet Iron,
that the present inauguration would not have
ben near so grand.
A Fine Dising Room. ThecuterprMng land
lord, E. T. Drumheller, of the City Hotel had
hit dining rooms repainted, and the ceilings
ludsoinely painted and oiled. The designs and
various colors gives it a fresh and neat appear
ance such as is seldom tioticed in any hotels ln
jibe country. Xearly the whole inside of the
"building will soou receive the painter' brush,
and frescoed and painted the same as the dining
rooms, of a llgnt snaoc. Ahii.rsu the City
Hotel is considered one of the handsomest hotel
in the State, the proprietor believes that he can
yet make further improvements, and i succeed
ing admirab'y. Any one who will examine the
house and see in what a magnificent manner it is
kept, will agree with us thai a more comfort
ably aud convenient hotel i scarcely to be found
in cither the city or country. We arc glad to
find too that travelers who know the bouse,
are so pleased that If within fifty miles of this
place, will travel the distance for the purpose of
enjeying the hospitalities of the bouse, zr.i for
a good night's rest and a sqrare meal.

! Oa Vredne?daj night Coroner Taylor was
called out of bed between one and two o'clock
and was informed that a man had been killed in
Mahanoy Valley, Cameron township, and that
the presence of the Coroner was required to hold
an inquest on the body. The Coroner at ouee
proceeded across the mountain aud arrived at
the place where the dead man was awaiting him,
at about two osclock. Having summoned a
jury the Coroner returned to Sliamokin after
healing a portion of the evidence, the jury being
notitfed to convene again at ten o'clock Thurs
day morning.
In Camerou township, Mahanoy Valley, about
two miles west of the "Brick Tavern," or Penn
sylvania Hole!, lives a farmer named Nathan
Ucnninger. lie is a man about 37 years of age
and has a wife ami five children. Ilenniuger
lives on what is known us the Iiiliman farm, the
property having beiouged to David Hill man.

Ileuningers's mother-in-law, an old lady of 85
years, lives with him, as also do two sous of
Mrs. Billmau by hertirs'- husband whose name
was Maurer. These two sons, George and
Philip Maurer, are both pretty well up iu years,
' -George beinir Co and Philip CO years of age. AI-
, most a year ago Nathan Ilenningcr purchased
j the Billman properly, having arranged to buy

acres.
the i;ohdi:ht.
On Wednesday two relatives, Jacob Billman
of Roaring Creek and Solomou liillman of
Washington township, arrived at Hcnninger'a
! on a visit. About half past live o clock the
taiuilv and viiiors sut down to sunper. Their
dining room was in a smalt frame but.din
about forty feet away from the main buildin
or mansion. The dwelling or main building is
built of stone and is a largo roomy house, but
the family have been using the small frame
building for a kitchen aud dining room, although
it Is a little distance from the dwelling.
About six o'clock or a little after, supper was
finished and Mrs. Heuuingcr got up from the
table aud remaikcd that she would go out to the
baru to feed a calf. Shu had just stepped out of
the door when a man Mopped her and ordered
ber back, saying that if she didn't stay iu he
would shoot her. Her husband, Nathan Heu
uingcr, theu came out but a largo man with a
black moustache ordered him to halt and re
turn, at the same time time poinliug a gun at
the farmer. Ilenningcr and his wife both step
ped back into the building and then only begun
to appreciate what the trouble was. Looking
out of the window they saw eeeral men enter
the stone dwelling, while a number of others
were doing guard duty outside. At that mo
ment several shots were fired into the door of
the building in which Heuniugur, his visitors.
and family were staying. About seven shots in
all were tired, nearly all of which passed through
the door aud out through the window on the
other side, but doing no injury to the Inmates.
lirNNlNGER SriOOTS BACK.
After the firing outside had commenced Ilen
ningcr started up stairs where he had a rifle and
a double barreled shot gun, and quickly loading
these iu the dark, he began to take measures Jo
defend his castle. Two bails wcrj put in each
barrel of the shot i:un aud one bail iu the rifle.
Taking aim through the window at several of
the villlans who were off about twenty-yards he
had the satisfaction of seeing one man drop.
Then the robbers opened fire in earnest, shoot
ing promiscuously into the windows and door
but luckily hitting none of the twelve persons
who were hnddied together in the small space
inside.
Heuuingcr again took aim, this time at one ot
the robbers who was statioaed on the wood pile,
and this shot also took t licet, leaving spots of
blood all over the wood, but l he robber was not
so badly hurt but what lie could gtt away.
Ouce more a volley was returned, shattering a
looking glass, picture frame and window panes,
but again miraculously missing the inmates,
mc rmsa's iiimuuu.
By this time the several robbers who weie ran
sacking the Si one mansion had joined their com
panions outside nnd a consultation was he!. I
over the fallen CQmrade who was lying on the
ground. Ilcunliiger saw this and taking
uim at the squad he fired his third and last shot,
also with effect be thinks as ihcy left suddenly
carrving awav one of their wounded. I
AFTEIt TFIE BATTLE.
As soon a the robber had started away nu
examination was made of the dwelling aud il
was found that two chjsls were broken open
and (2,075 in gold, silver and bank notes taken.
About six hundred and seventy-five dollars of
this was in bank notes, the balance in coin. The
premises outside were then examined and very
noon one of the robbers was feuiud on the ground
dead. There were truces of blood across the
hill to the cast of the house showing that one
or two more had been wounded aud hcljied
away.
THE DEAD MAS' rHOM iUOVotlN
After the Coroner arrived he summoned the
rollowiugjnry : C. B. Boyer, C. K. Wtiktl, J.
H. Courad, W. F. Ditty, A. M. Start zel and
James May, Junior. As the jury was ubout to
view the body one of them recognized the dead
man as being from hhatnoiiin. Ills name is
Philip Hughes and he lived In Withington's
Row on Franklin street. Hughes has a wife
aud two children, and has been employed at
Cameron Colliery. Ou Wednesday afternoon
about four o'clock he left his house iu company
with two men named Martin Farrell and Toos.
Galviu, and nothing further wa heard from
them uutil Hughe was kllied that night. On
the body of Hughe was found a white haudker
chlct, a sin a 11 round tin box, a clay pipe, muslin
tobaccrt pouch with tobacco aud a powder flask.
Gaivin boarded with 1 1 utiles and Farrell with
boarded with Michael Healey, Hughes' next door
neihbor. Mrs. Hughe states thai a strange
muu was at her house to see her husbaud dur
ing edncsdny but she does not know who it
was.
A If AKKKST.
The house iu which Hughes lived is a double
one, the one side being occupied by Michael
ilealey. On Thursday Healey was arrested as
probably knowing something about the robbery
but he brought witnesses to prove that he was
houM! that night and he was therefore discharg
ed. There were six men iu the party who com
mitted the robbery, and of these several nre
well known. At the time we write the villiaus
have not been captured but enough evideuce was
produced to show that their flight was in the di
rection of Pottsville.
The robbers left l mo KUtia aud a cap, which
u-'C in the hands of the Coroner.
A VISIT TO MAHANOV.
Secunug a conveyance we made a liip to the
scene ol the robbery on Thursday ami after
diiviug about six miles we reaches' Hcuninger's
la nu. We arrived there about noon jud louuJ
tbe Coroner' jury about closing their investiga
tion. Quite a crowd had collected from the sur
rounding neighborhood aud each farmer was
armed with a rifle or shot gun. The crowd
looked terribly warlike. Hughes' body was
lying on a bench in a wash house that had been
recently built, lie was stiipK'd to the waist
aud in the breast was a bole made by the fatal
bullet. Auotlier ball had entered his left shoul
der, he having been struck by both balls out ol
the one barrel of the shot gun. His eye were
only half closed aud hi month was partly open,
litis body and clothing was terribly bloody and
his w hole appearance was ghastly and sicken
ing. No one had appeared yet to claim the
body, but ou our way back we met au under
taker with a rough box going to bring the re
mains to Sliamokin. Where he will be burled
we do not know at this writing, the Catholic
Clergy having foiblJ leu his body to be interred
in any of the Catholic cemeteries.
TUB PKOllABII.ITlrS.
Fiom what we heard and saw on the premi
ses we feel salisGed that litis daring robbery was
planned by some one who was perfectly familiar
with the house and with tbe family. They only
entered lb room where the two chects were
that contained the mouey and did not disturb a
chest or trunk in another room that contained
no money. A larga old-fashioned clock was
opened and .searched, where some money had
beeu kept at one time but nothing was in that
Hcnniger lost nothing, the money belonged to
George Maurer, $S00, Phillip Maurer, S050, and
Mrs. Billman, 325. ,
THE VtKDICT.
The jury returned a verdict that Hughes had
been killed by Nathan Heuiiigcr i:i self defence
and fully esouerating Hcnniger from all blame,
or, Id other words it was justifiable homicide
Flecninger was quite a Hon among the crowd
who had assembled and l he Mahanoy farmers
all seemed proud of their pluckv neighbor,
Ilenniuger came to Sliamokin with us and be
fore he returned home he supplied himself with a
good revolver at oue of our hardware store.
ANOTHER AKHEST FAKKELL FOUND IN POTTS
VILLE. Thursday noon Councilman J. A. Wearer
went to Pottsville on private business and while
walking down Centre street he saw Martin Far
rell, one of tbe parties supposed to be concerned
ln the above robbery, walking along on the
other side of the street. Mr. Weaver was at the
time in company with Lieut. W. II. Moyer of
the Coal and Iron Police aud calling Lieut.
Moycr's attention to Farrell the officer at once
arrested him. Farrell was taken before a Jus
tice and was committed to prison until evening
when be was brought to Sliamokin.
faukell's littlb ltort. 1
When Farrell was taken before Squire Helm
he made the following statement of his move
ments on Wednesday night. He admitted hav
ing beeu with Hughes up to four o'clock Wed
nesday afturuon but left him at tbut hour on
Shamokin Street. He (Farrell) and Gaivin
then started to walk up the Northern Central
track, haying concluded "go to Philadelphia."
They went to Ceclralia on foot, arriving there
at two o'clock in the morning ; continued walk
ing to Girardville and arrived there at six ; left
Galviu in Pottsville hut didn't know just where.
Farscli hesitated very much lu answering ques
tion nod seemed to feel very uucomfortable.
Two woodchoppers who had seen the gang on
the mountain were present and partly identified
Farrell as one of the party. There was other
evideuce pointing to this muu as being one of
the gang who committted the robbery and Jus
tice Helm demanded U5.000 bail for his appear
ance at Court, aud as he could not furnish tbe
security he was sent to Sunhury on Fiiday
morning. On Friday morning as Farrell was
putting on his boots several spots of what seein-
eu 10 ue oioou were lounu, ana ne was given a
pair of shoes to put on nnd the boots retained to
be csed as evideuce. Part ortiis clothing also
looked as if it bad been washed indicating that he
had assisted In carry iug away one of the wounded
men.
WHAT THE WOGDCHOI'FUliS SAT.
Two woodchoppers who were employed ou the
mountain between thi place aud Mahanoy, quit
work about five o'clock on Wednesday evening
and started to come home. They had come but
a little way aloug the summit of the mountain
wheu they saw a party of six men alongside of
the public road. Two were standing up and
four were lying down. Those who were reclin
ing on the ground tried to hide their faces and
refused to look up at tbe woodchoppers. The
two workmen passed on but thought the move
ments of these men very strange and comment
ed ou the matter to o'hars when they got back
to Sliamokin.
HUGHES ANTECEDENTS.
TLe report that Philip Hughes, the dcod rob
ber, is a Welshman, is incorrect. He is an
Irishman. It Is reported that Hughes is not his
correct name, he having found it necessary to
change his mi mo oome time ago on accouut of
former acts of his. He bear the marks of a
bullet wound In one of hi arms and is known
to have been implicated iu unlawful transactions
since he came to thi place.
IIENNINGEU UNDER BAIL.
Ill giving the verdict of the Coroner's Jury we
omitted to state that Coroner Taylor thought It
advisable to hold Hennlnger, the farmer, in the
am of $500 in his own rtcoguizancj for hi ap- I
pearance at Court if he shonld be required.
Uwnniuger, who i a German and talks English
imperfectly, did not understand this proceeding,
and so the reporter of the Times wa called
upon to act as interpreter and explained why
this was done. Ilenniuger expressed himself as
nerfvtlir antisfleft - " -
said to us that he would be glad to appea at
Court and have a jury decide on his action.
The whole Mahanoy Valley would have gone hi
security if il had been necessary.
A MAUANOT Pit's OPINION.
While we were standing by the side of Hughes'
body, examining the wounds, a German fatmcr
tame up and nudging us remarked, "Des vor
ein verdommt gooder trick !" The saiile on his
countenance showed how hcariiiy he approved
of Hcuuingcr's couduct in shooting th-j rob
ber. LNCLAIMED FUOPEHTT.
Coroner Taylor las the two guus and cap in
his possession, which were left by the robbers,
and he wishes that the owners would "come
forward, prove property and take them away."
No assurance is however given that '"no ques
tions will be nsked."
THE LATEST.
Trace of one of the wounded robbci it is
rumored, have been found iu tbe direction of
Mt. Carmel and officers have been sent to inves
tigate, but at the hour we go to press we are
without further particulars. Whether there is
pcrpt t: ators of the robbery , but on inquiry from re
anythiug iu 4he reports or not we cauuoc tell.
Owing to the great excitement oecasioued by
this afTi'ir we have carefully guarded against
giving anything except what was reliable. By
rcqul'!l we omit any mention of the movements
of a part of the police force who are working up
the robbery, but a reasonable hope is entertained
that several more captures will follow soon.
Shatnnkin Timet Jan. 16.
Since the above has been put in type there
have been a number of rumor of arrests of the
sidenl from that ssction of the comily we learn
that they arc without foundation. A man
named Gilbert Rcitz, a neighbor of Mr. Ilen
niuger, is suspected as being one of tbe accom
plice, and has left tor parts unknown. Reitz
was seen near Sunbtiry on Tuesday in company
with his father, and we are informed that offi
cers are in close pursuit of hiin.

morning a young mau by the name of Daniel
Bycrs, aboit 10 years old, living with Mr. Peter
R. Meugcs, In Lewis twp., in the aijM-nee of the
fatally, broke into Mr. Menges' room aud stole
forty odd dollars iu gold, silver and greenback.
He then went to the bain and saddled a horse
aud came to Watsontown aud boarded the 12:20
train south. The horse was left standing at the
depot until evening when operator Daughterly
and young Mr. Johnson brought it to Cooner's
hotel, where tlio poor beast was stubble. I and
further dcvelojwieuts awaited. The next morn
ing Mr. Mcugc.i came to town aud got the first
clew to the whereabouts of the young scamp.
Supposing that he had gone lu the direction of
Reading where he has an aunt residing, Mr.
Menges started in pursuit. His suspicions
proved correct. On arriving at Reading he ob
tained the assistance of a policeman wh soon
found younBycr a gticst at the Uble House.
He was brought to Turbotville by Mr. Menges
aud taken befo.-e Justice Wagner, who committed
him to jail, and ou Tuesday last Judge Rocke
feller told him lie might go down to Philadel

Man Shot in tub AVest Ward. S-.-voral
weeks ago a young man named Burns from
Burnsldc Colliery entered the house of a man
named Smith who lives near Weaver's breaker
iu the West Ward. Burns asked for comcthiug
which was refused him, whereupon he took out
a knife and ripped open a lounge and theu left.
Thursday evening of last week Burus appeared
Lp jaia at the same house and having been re
cognized he stepped outside and fired into the

Smith. Burns then fled and has Dot beeu ap

Cohi.e's Insurance Agency. We arc glad to
find that many of the farmers in this aud ad
joining counties avnil themselves of tbe oppor
tunity to get their property insured iu the --Etna
Fire Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn.,
of which Geo. Coble, Esq., of Herndon, is the
agent. The .Etna is a reliable company, and
no farmer should neglect to insure so that in
case of lire he will receive the greater portion
6? his loss back again. The small sum paid for
a policy and assessments, frequently is the
ineaus of saving a poor, hard-working man
from total ruin by fire, which is liable to occur
at any time. Call on Geo. Coble, Esq., Hcrn

three hundred dollars stolen, among the money

o'clock on Friday morning last, a lire broke out
in the Academy of Music, at Lewisburg, mid in
one hour destroyed the whole building. The
Chronicle says :
Prof. Iluslander, the Principal, is the heavieft
loser. His property destroyed consisted of six
pianos, live orgaus, violin, violouccllo, about
.foCO worth of music, his account books, and a
number of articles of lesser value, In all amount
ing to perhaps X.oUO, 011 which ho holds an In
surance of 3,M0. He had recently placed in
the Academy a piano valued 01 ?700 and a mag
nificent orgnu of still greater value, all of which
are now a worthless mass. Miss Damon saved
her violin, but suffered a loss in niMsii: and
other articles amounting to several hundred
dollars. Prof. Sperra saved a comet and vio
lin, but lost a flue guitar and a large quantity
of music, much of which was of unu-ual value.
Two voting men, Messrs. Kirkland and Marsh,
who roomed in the Academy, narrowly escaped
with their live by jumping through tbn win
dow. The Firemen were on the spot with all the
promptness possible, and succeeded in prevent-icg-:t
fire from spreading. The Academy burn
ed like tinder, sending storms of sparks upon
the neighboring huihliugs. iguiting the dry
roofs uIiiioaI constantly. When discovered, all
prospect of saving the Academy building1 was
hopeless.
Keep Your Feet Dry. Il is .1 very difficult

"A Correction."
We notice au article In some of the county

title. The correction related to a certain part
of the proceedings of the Northumberland County
Teacher's Institute, as reported by the secre

FOR THK AMERICAN.
Fd'iiitr American :
Accounts of proceeding of the
Teachers' Institute are usually interesting, but
the thing done is more important than any per
son's private opinion of the character of It.
Such testimonies as,
"The essay was wtil and forcible wrttteu, and
was well received." ''His remarks were full
of good sense, and very practical," "so thorough,
so clear, so comprehensive, so eredite," make
work for the printer and leave the reader's cu
riosity unsatisfied, since the fact tojustify the
claim or attention are not presented.
It is not easy to see why S. Shipman, gestlrrg
the watch at the spelling contest, was of sufficient
importance to afford occasion for ajjpublic religi
ous th.ankgiving, unless hi coirbjctitora ware
4
so hard a set that the victory of any one of tbcta
would have been a thing very much to be depre
cated ; In which case, however, they have pro
bably shown great modesty. Among tsa pro
ceedings lately reported is this resolution .
"Resolved, That we Teachers of Northum
berland couuty, feel very thankful lo an Allwise
Being that the present to the best speller fell
upon so worthy a person as our F.x-Snp't, San!
Shipman."
Oue of the old Latin critics tells his brother
poets not to bring a God ia unless thu ease is
serious. The young teacher who dre.w the re
solution must he excused, if piety got the start
of logical shrewducss, or he may not have meant
to get much of a God in after all : for he uses
tho indefinite article, as if h thought there
might be several, and the cue he was after pet-
haps not the most important one.

The Anti-Mouopoly Conveniton, iu session at
Harrisburg, Pa., March 2, 3 and 4 last, appoint
ed, just prior to adjourning, an executive com
mittee of eleven members, with power to re-convene
the said convention at such time and place
as in their judgment should seem proper.
By virtue of that authority, the undersigned,
a majority of said Executive Committee, hereby
officially announce that tbe said Convention will
reconvene iu the city of Harrisburg, ou Tuesday,
February 1, 1376, at ten o'clock in the forenoon,
sharp.
All Trade or Labor Unions, Granges or other
Associations of workingmen, having for their
object the protection of their members and the
community against the money, transporting,
land and other monopolies with which the peo
ple are accursed, are entitled to send two dele
gates, the names of whom should be sent, as
soou as possible after appointment, to the Secre
tary of the Committee.
Associations in sympathy with the purposes of
the convention, who are nnable, by reesou of
lack of funds, to scud delegates direct from their
own membership, are requested to appoint
proxies, and forward such suggestions relative
to the Convention as they may feel impelled to
make, to the Chairman, Secretary, or any mem
ber of the committee.
Associations represented, either by delegate
or letter, will be required to contribute their por
porliouate share of the necessary expenses,
which will, however, bnt trilling.

a matter which involves the wlole question of
the relative rights of individuals and corpora
tions all these questions, and others equally
interesting to the Anti-mouopolUt, will probably
come before the approaching session of our Leg
islature for discussion and action. In view of
this fact, it seems to us important, siuce party
conventions will not tnke cognizance of our
wants a Anti-Monopolists, that we should come
together, under the very noses, so to speak, of
the law makers, and giro uumislakablo expres
sion to them ourselves.

It Is earnestly hoped that every Association in

will send delegates.
