Ahkest or Asn Partial Confession or Gil- nnut Keitz Three more Arrests Made on His Evidence. On Friday l ist was an exciting day at febauiokin and Suubury ou account the arrest of the robbers conuected with the Cameron township robbery. We copy the fal lowing from the Sbamokin Time of Saturday morning last : Gilbert Kelt Given Iliniscir lp Two Others ArrcNtodKeitz Ideii- titles Them. Gilbert Keitz, the man who is supposed to know all about the Mahanoy robbery nnd who fled so kuddculy, is at last in durance vile. will be remembered that his father took him Zt.-fini;' Mill, near Sunbury, after which it was uot known where he went It seems he wan dered up i;:to New York State and finally ar rived at a place called Canasteo, in Steuben county, on the Eric Railroad. He had no peace of mind in his wandering and therefore de cided to surrender himself to the authorities. He found a policeman of the Eric Railroad, named E. C. Simpson an 1 to him Keitz gave himself up on Tuesday. Simpson telegraphed the fact to Shamokiu and Capt. Thomas Alder- son of the Coal and Iron Poliee went after Keitz and brought him toShamokin yesterday at noon Through information that was given bv Ileitis two other arrests wero made before Gilbert ar- rived iu Snamokin. The two meu arc Philip Delaney aud Michael lle.ily. The latter was arrested the day alter the robbery but was lib erated at the bearing as there seemed to be no conclusive evidence against him. He lives iu part of the same house in which Hughes lived Delaney aud Heaiy were urresled yesterday morning aud Were held until Keitz arrived in the 1 1.40 tiaiu. When Reitz was takeu before Justice Helm he at once identified ticaly aud Delaiu-y as two f the men who were implicated iu the robbery. Ho staled that in couversaliou with Delaney after the robbery the latter had threatened in in with death if ue told ou them. During the examination Keitz Was exceeding- ly nervous bul he Mined lo lie glad that be had suiieudeied iinuacil uud was in I lie hands ol I lie oilieeis. 'tVheu uire lleliu announced that he wouid livid eaeU ol the three meu iu ?j,0iM ball, ReilZ leplied lhul he wanted to go lo jail aud "wouldn't oiler to give bail il it wasn't more th.iu live l-iuls." He said he tlidu'l w.iiil lo be oul. tkuly wauled to ana Gilbert a (jucsliuu but he bai.l tie had uothiug more to leil jusl now unless Hie oliitvrs required him lo do so : he wouid tell all he knew ul the proper lime. The prisoneis were giveu their dinner iu lb inquire' office aud were takeu to Suubury ul lliree o'cloek. When Reiiz had finished his iliu- ner he had an afi'eetiug inliiview with his brolher-iu law. Both men shed tears freely neiiz lemaiKeu in our Hearing I mil lue way lUe allair turned out "was ull lot the best he pre suiued uud llieu he brightened up again aud ai- teinpied to be us cheerful as possible. An immense crowd had gathered around the tq aire's office, during the hearing but a good loice of ollieers were ou duty to preserve order. All the facts connected with the robbery are in very good shape and when the trial of thete men lakes place there will be no doubt some as-limi.-hiiitr revelations. I.ATUt ANOTIinii ARREST. George LeVans, a bo:irder at Ilealy's, was ar rested yesterday about two o'cloek uud was identified by Ilennhiger, the farmer, ns the man who was at Henuinger's house the day before the robbery and pretended that he wanted to buy hay. Levens was also seen crossing the mountain on Ibe evening of the robbery and had a gun with him. 'Squire Helm demanded the same bail from Leveus as from the others and as lie could not furnish the security he was sent to Sunbury with Reitz aud the others. The man Kelly who was arrested in Carbon county on Thursday on suspicion of being one of the Mahanoy robbers, was released, there b iug no evidence to hold bun. FURTHER PARTICULARS'. The Sunbury Dally of Saturday istrt contains the following further particulars: TUE FOUR CRIMINALS. Friday afternoon Constables Alderson and Rehrer, of Shamokiu, brought Gilbert Keitz, Michael Haley. Philip Delaney and Gorgc Lc vens, four of the Cameron township burglars, to Sunbu'v. where they were locked up in jail. ! A few days ago Reitz, who is supposed to be the ringleader of the gang, applied for work in Canisteo, Steuben county, N. Y., but was re fused, whereUMin he r marked that he might as well go to the penitentiary and gave himself up to the authorities, telling them who and what lie was. They Immediately telegraphed to Sha mokiu aud Constable Alderson was sent after Reitz, On their way down Gilbert told the offi cer who three of ibe other parties were, and Alderson telegraphed home to keep a lookout for them. Friday momiug Constable Kchrer arrested Healy, Delaney and Lcvans, aud when Aldeison arrived lit Sbaraokin with his prisoner, on the noon train from Suubury, the other three were in quire Helm's office ready to receive him. Afera bearing, in default of f5,000 bail eaeh, they were committed. rXCIIEMENT AT SHAMOKIN. Around the Squire's ofllee and depot In Sha mokiu. hundreds of persons had congregated, and it was with dithVuliv that the officers could get through with the prisuuers. At the depot here they were met by several hundred persons who escorted them to the jail, all anxious to See tue parlies. The officers say they had no trouble batever with the men. Reitz was the only one of the four that was not hand-cuffed. While coming down in the ears, after passing Suydertowu, the brakeman announced that the next station was Suubury, at which Reitz re marked, "'and the next is Philadelphia." Per haps that will be the next station of any im ortanee for him. None of the money has been recovered. Reitz either doe not know or will not tell where il is concealed. Thus far live of the gang of seven are in jail, the sixth was killed and the sevcuth wounded. The officers know who he is bul they have been unable lo get hold of hiin. REITZ'8 CONFESSION. Reitz says that be left Zerfing's mill about six p. in. ou the day that he came with bis fatheras far as that place ; that he eiime to this place and took the seven o'clock train for Williatnspoit, where he staid all night, next morning walking to Moutoursviile, where he look the cars lor Hughcsviile ; staid all night airain at Huirhes ville, and the day following walked to Laporte, Sullivan county. From there he went to Dn shore, iu the same county. Here his funds be came exhausted aud he borrowed twelve dollars from an acquaintance named Johu L'lts. Frcm there he took the cars for Towanda, and from thence to Niagara Falls, and passed over into Canada, goiug to a place called Hamilton. He says he had no rest, aud relumed to the Ameri can side, and on Wednesday arrived at Canisteo. He says be was not at the robbery at Henuing er's, but that he knew ' something of the kind was to be done somewhere in the valley;" that he had nothing furth.-r lo do with the robbery than informing Healy and Delaney some partic ulars us to the circumstances of the Billmaus and Henninger, and this he did only after being questioned. He said these two men told him they would make a raid on the bouse and if he would go along they would sh ire the spoils with him. hut that he refused with dignity. This, iu biief, is his story, let it be worth what it may. IT.lll AT Til E Jill.. He expressed reat fear, at the jail, lesi the sheriff would pul'liim iu the same cell with this four others, as he stood in mortal dread of them . In this he was accommodated and put in a sepa rate apartment. Coroner Taylor was as anxiou that this should be done us the prisoner, as ibe latter is the main witness lhat the prosecution will rely upon to convict the others, and it is de sirable to preserve him from bodily harm until court, therefore, the suspicion indulged in and the precaution taken is justifiable, lint if this proeramme is carried out, Reitz may escape punishment, as whatever testimony he may give agalut the other men cannot be used iu a prose cution against him, nitho'igh it may criminate Lim. Reitz i very restlcs and his mind appears to wander, and he expressed a fear that he would become insane. He Is apparently deeply peni tent, whether he tells ths whole truth of course cannot now he known. One thing is certa in, in riving himself up he showed that he is not a Very hardened crimiual. He is not a ragged, icarty inau, but looks thin, jaded and care- 'oro. a riu&oNBit in moil gi.ee. When the four arrived at the jail, Farrcll, the one who had been arrested at Potlsville, was lit high glee, aud danced and shouted around be cause he had "plenty of company," but, of course, being careful all the while not to say anything that would criminate him or the new comers. No recognition passed between them, and Delaney and Ilcaly even said they did not know h!m, but the latter was at the jail last Sunday to see Farrell, and when he was refused handed some tobacco to Mr. Strine to give him, of; I showing that he Is not tcl.i.i the truth now. It I All the prisoners connected with this alf.iir are to hobbled except Keitz. Coroner Taylor has displayed commendable activity in bringing these men to justice. II weut as far as Williamsport to meet Alderson and Reitz on their way to Sunbury. I he r ehrt ouestion. c observe that a petition is in circulation, numerously signed by many of our best citizens, for the rcreal of the special act of 1S70 incorporating the present steam ferry at this place, which took from the borough the right and title to the ferry which it had held for neaily a century, and vested the 6auic iu our enterprising townsman, Mr. Ira T. Clement. The ferry had been previously bring iug iuto the borough treasury a rent of about $350 ht annum, aud the transler was, of course, brought about quietly und without the knowl edge of the people by un act put through the Legislature, by a paid piofescioual borer. The great wrong was in divesting the borough of its projurty, which should be kepi under its own control for the benefit of the towu, and iu sur rendering it absolutely into the hands of a single individual, who has the power to use il to suit himself without regard to the wishes of the bo rough. The people bad no objection w hatever to Mr. Clement operating the ferry even nt a small or nominal rent, as the lesee of the bo rough, provided the ferry was mauaged for :he iir terests of the town and the encouragement ol trade, but they coula not see how that conid be iloue by giving up their rights und their property into the hands ol any oue iudividual,who would naluiaily manage il lo suit his own interests, i ne idea llierelore tlial the petitioners were actuated by hostility lo Mr. Clemeiit,us has been usserted, by iguoraiit aud prejudiced persons, is absurd. Let Mr. L lenient agree to restore the lights ol tne borough as they existed before this act was passed, aud we will agree that he shall run the ferry uuder a lease from the bo-j rough, lhat Mr. Clemen' has beeu uu enter- prising and energetic citizen, is uot denied, and although this enterprise has resulted to his beue- hi aud advantage, il does not, and should not detiaei from his merits. But all llns does nol warrant him In putting the borough and its rights uud iulcrcsts into his own poeket. Special Session of the Grand Loih:e of I. O. of O. F. A fpecial session of the Grand Lodge of I. O. of O. F. of Pennsylvania, con vened in lodte room of No. C'iO, at '2 o'clock on Thursday, February 2, 1S70. Most Woithy Grand Master. John Levergood, presiding, who was assisted by R. W. D. G. M.Geo. F. Borie, R. W. G. W., S. B. Boycr ; R. W. G. Secrelay. Jas. B. Nicholson ; P. G., John A. Taylor, acting us R. W. G, Treasurer ; P.

D. G. M., Geo. F. Borie. The Grand Lodge then adjourned to the lodge room of No. 2U3, where a number of members of the Rcbekah Degree Lodge had nsserubled, uud the work of that degree was exemplified. In the evening a visitation meeting wus held in No. GJt) room, wheu the work was again exemplified by Grand Sire, James B. Nicholson. The visit of the Graud Lodge officers to this part of the country, no doubt, had a good cfTeet among the members of that fraternity. When visiting the Stale Capitol at Harrisburg an entire stranger lj the manner of Low business is transacted, it is a great relief to find that the officers and clerks are always accomodating, courteous and polite In the various departments of our State government.

Five Dats a Bride Sad Reality in Lite. Il is a very unusual occurrence lhat the an nouncement of the wedding and the death of the bride appears in the same issue of a news paper, yet such an incident is recorded In the .lMfiiJ;i, (weekly,) published at Milton, Pa., January 21st, 1870, in relation lo the marriage aud death of the bride. Miss Anna M. Rhawn, of that place, a young lady of most estimable and lovely charactci, whose early demise is mourned by numerous relatives ami friends iu her own town as well as iu this place. We copy the reference made by that paper to the sad event : Weddld and Died. It is seldom we arc called upon to record so sad a circumstance as the death of Mrs. Anua M. Striue. On Thurs day of last week, January 13, 1S70. at 0 o'clock m. Mr. Thomas Strine und Miss Anna M. Rhawu were married, having iulended to start on their wedding tour on the 7 o'cloek train. Bui as the bride was not well, being barely abie to stand up while the marriage ceremony was performed, the tour was abaudoued. She con tinued to grow wor .: uutil Monday night last, wheu the doctors informed the family that she would live but a few hours at farthest, and thai she might die before morning. The uews was broken to her by one of her relatives. She re ceived the dread announcement calmly, uud said it it was the Lord's will she was ready to die. She sent for all her friends and bade them fare well, speaking to each one in a feeling manner, sang u favorite hymn, and at 7 o'clock a. m. on Tuesday morning passed from this life to a bet ter one. The blow is a heavy one to the afflict ed parents aud friends and especially so to the husband, whose wedded life was of such short duration and so completely over-shadowed by sickness uud death. The entire community mom ns, und the greatest sympathy is felt for those who arc to deeply bereaved. The power that strengthened the dying bride aud gave peace lo her last hours ou earth can aloue assuage the grief and comfort the hearts of the mourning relatives. We copy the following items from the Shamo kiu Herald January 27th : Attempted Mikdlk. Ou Saturday cveuiug last, at dusk, as William Dilii plain was picking coal from tie dirt bunk al Dr.niel Webster col liery, he heard a bullet whiz pa6t his head close ly followed by another. Hastily turning about he discovered a man in the bush ul the foot of the hill, who just then tired another shot, the ball culling Dillipluiu's bat rim and grazing his forehead, drawiug blood. This convince I him lhat il was time to adjouru aud he hastened lo his home, comer of Fraukliu und SpurZheim streets, where he lives with his aged aud wid owed mother. He is about 23 years of age and is known us a quiet, inoffensive citizen. Il is supposed the party who did the shooting mistook him for some oue else. Attempted Hioiiwat Rwruekt. On the cve uiug of last pay-day, the 15th iust., Charles Shauawolf, a German living with his family corner or Third aud Chestnut streets.

Oue of them struck him a blow that almost kuocked hiin dowu ; bnt he succeeded in escaping. He knew the parties, however, and on Friday last Patrick Lawless, of Scotch Hill, was arrested, taken be fore 'Squire Smiuk, and in default of bail was taken to jail to await trial. The other two vil lains, Henry Hell and George Kittenhouse, es caped, and have not been heard of since. All three are young men uged between 20 and 25 years.

The building was just outside the borough limits und belonged to Coal township, The fire is supposed to have been accidental, the nunuing Having no doubt caugh". from a stove that wus placed too near the wall.

We shall do our readers a favor by calliug their special attention to the value, the use ulness, and we mny say the direct 'rnIf, of supplying themselves the present year, with one of the chtapttt, as well as the most valuable Journals Issued in this country. It costs hardly half a cent a day, a sum easily saved, while its practical hints and suggestions will be most likely to bring buck that amount many times over. The 500 to 600 beautiful, in structive Engravings, are alone worth many times the cost of the paper. We refer to the American Agriculturist, so called because started 35 years ago as a Rural Journal, bul now en larged and improved to suit the wants of every family in couutry, village, and city. It is pack ed full of gtod things, useful, reliable, and in structive. Each number contains ii larire (double octavo), pages, beautifully printed. It has much for instructing and pleasing house- keepers and children, and farmers, mechanics merchants indeed all classes. Its house plans I and improvements, with engravings and parti- culars as to cost, and the common-sense direc tions, are orth more than many costly architec tural works. Its constant, persistent, fearless exjiosure of humbugs and swindling schemes, is of great value to ihc whole country and to every individual. In short, it Is full of good things for everybody, and we advise everj tody to take it this year. It will be specially valuable in this Ceutennial year. Its circulation, which is n hundred fold greater lhan the majority of other journals, euubles the publishes to suddIv the American Aariculturitt at the very low rate of f i.GO a year, post-paid, or four corjies for ?5.40. Take our advice and send for it to the publishers, viz. : Messrs. Orange Judd Broadway, New York City.

I'ritnJ Wilvert : I arrived in this city Dec. 4th, and have been looking around some. This is a big country and in need of improvements. Topeka is the Capitol of Kansas, built on high ground, on the banks of the Knaw river, aud U one of the railioad centres of Kansas. It is the junc tion of tho Kansas Pacific and Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe R. R. Both roads are doing a good traffic in passengers, grain, coal and cattle. Here are their principal shops for repairing en gines nnd cars. There ire ten thousand iuhabi tauts in this city, well supplied with churches, schools aud hotels. The city is lighted with gas, has a paid fire department consisting of oue Silsby stcaincn two chemical engines, one hook and ladder truck, all drawn by horses. Through the cour. lesy of the chief engineer, Mr. Wilmarth, I was permited to see the horses exercised. At the sound of the gong they are all loosened and each went to go to the aparatus alone. They stand in uarness at all times and come out very promptly. The city is lively at present as the Legislature is in session, and they have plenty to do. That which seems most to claim their attention is re sumption of specie payment, herd and dog law. The Grangers have a good mouth for mutton so has the dog, nnd the dog usually gets the first pick. Kansas is a good country for dogs, and a dng that can't catch a sheep is of no account. Sheep are d jin well here. Before the dogs bad possession of the country the wolves occupied the land, but they and the sheep did not do so well together. A man, with the aid of his dog, run the wolf out. Now the Grangers want the Legislature to ge for the dog, and if they do some one may go for them. General Sheridan passed over the Santa Fc Railroad to-day. The Omaha tribe of Indians had left their re servation to go on a hunt, but the Buck's had war paint on, so I'nele Sam took them back, telling them It was a poor time to hunt ; the trouble was that there was some Sioux Indians bufialo hunting up on the Medicine, aud if the Omahas had got up there th-y would of had good hunting. This is a very mild winter, fine weather, game is plenty, and choice buffalo and amelope steak sell at 10 cents per pound iu city market. Yours, respectfully, G. Graufl Jurors for !Vareh Terui, 1S76.

The association is chartered on the ptrinantiU yttem, and will maintain its existence by the issue of a new series every year. This serial plan illuminates the dead-lock feature of the terminating associations. It is fonuded on the latest improved principles, and will doubtless commend itself to all who are desirous of saving their money and to those who are eager to bor row. Especially to working men will this be an object of attraction. The association has met with fair success during the firs; year of its existence, and from promises received they have j been induced to issue 500 shares for its second ! series.
