It appear that a number of articles were

Johnstown otlicers that are believed to have
been stolen from persons residing in the vi
cinity of Ligotiier. " I never lo any steal

Everybody about Somerset knows Tobias
Yoder, but few ersons excepting those in
timately acquainted with the once rugged,
hardy woodsman, know that he carries
around with him sears that were received
in battling for his country that entitles his
name to be handed down to posterity.
Tobias Yoder was mustered into service
on July 17, lSol, as a member of Conqiany
A. 3ytb Regiment. 10th Pennsylvania Re
serves and was wilh his company fighting
under McClelian at Charles City Cross
itoads. on the Peninsula. During that en
gagement Yoder had his musket in position
ready to fire when he was struck in the right
side by a niiunie ball from an enemy's gun,
that passsl entirely through his body. The
force of the shot wheeled the wounded man
half-way round, but he quickly turned to re
sume his position in the ranks, not realizing
the extent of his injury. Hardly had he
faced aliout when he was struck by buck and
bail, the ball entering his breast and coming
out along the spine, and three buckshot pa-ss-iugcompletcly
through his left shoulder. Al
most at tiie SJime instant he wis struck in the
stomach by two minnie balls that passed
through his body. By this time Yoder. who
seemed to be a target for the enemy's gun
fell unconscious to the ground and lay un-
notied for three days on the battle field,
hen he was picked up by Stonewall Jack
son's troops and after being stripied of fiis
uniform and every thiug else, was taken to
Richmond and placed in Lihby Prison.
Here he remained for 41 days, " too stub
born to die from my seven wounds, and al
most loo dirty to live " as he himself says.
While in Lihby, when almost starved and
hoping for death to relieve his sufferings, he
met au old friend from home in the person
of a fellow prisoner, Adam Rulinger. The
two men had betn together lor several days
bnt both were in such a necessarily filthy
and ragged condition that they (ailed to rec
ognized one another. "I tell you" said
Toby, " the coffee Adam made for me out of
charred bread was the sweetest drink I ever
had in my lite." At I lie expiration of 41
days Yoder was p (rolled and soon found his
way to Iheftdera! hospital at Chester, Pa.,
where he remained for six monlhs, slowly
growing stronger to the great surprise of the
surgeons who pronounced hi Case incur
able. After six months of hospital life he
came to Somerset on a furlough and sieut
three months with his friends at home. By
this lime bis strength had recuperated and
he rf joined bis comfmny at Washington,
and participated in the battle of Gettysburg.
On Sept. 1. lfXJ3 he was transferred to the
Veteran's Reserve Corps and served till the
close of the war, when he returned to Som
erset and has resided here ever sjnee.
In speaking of his miraculous escape from
death, Mr. Y'oder said " I can only tell you
w bat I told the surgeon at Chester; I believe
there is a God and I know that he saved
me."
Mr. Y'oder lias met with several misfor
tunes since the close of the war that would
have killed men of ordinary constitution.
On one occasion while engaged in mining
lime, the bank in which he was working
raved In crushing the life out of a dog tbat
chanced to be his companion under the
ground. On still another occasion whto
Y'oder was working s a section band on the
S. ,t C. K. IL he was thtown from a hand
car and that vehicle run over his body break
ing three ribs.
While still apparently a strong, robust
man Mr. Y'oder's iron constitution is slowly
being undermined and he can no longer do
the work and suffer the hardships to which
men of hi age and occupation are compelled
tosurimit. A generous government should
ui .ke this veteran's remaning years a life of
comfort and ease.

Was Rtscovered.
Found In the Possession of Antho

Th o Elder Kieely Denies that be
Eefuscd to Surrender it to the
Officers.
So many contradictory stories in regard to
tle finding of one of the pocketbooks taken
from the p;rson of Herman Uroberger the
nijjht he was murdered have been published
aud told, that In order to give our readers
the true particulars of its fiuding, the Her
ald sent a reporter to interview Constebie
John O. Rauch, who traced the pocket book
to the residence of Anthony A. Nicely, father
of Joseph and David Nicely, who are now tn
jail awaiting trial on a charge of having mur
dered Herman Uniberger, and compelled the
old mail to deliver it over to him, and has
ever since had it in his possession.
The Coustahle is not much given to talk
ing and at first declined to be iuterviewed,
staling to the reporter that he preferred to
say nothing at present, as court waa fast ap
proaching and the whole story would then
be told. After being shown several publish
ed accounts, aud being told thai A. A. Nice
ly was out in a letter on I he subject, the
Constableconcliided to give a full account of
the matter. Following is what he said :
HOW TBS POTJiCT BOOK WAS roCSD.
"The day we brougbt the Nicely boys to
Jennertown for identification, a man by the
name of Thomas drove one of the wagons
from Ligotiier. When he started logo home.
Pave Nicely was seen to give him a pocket
book, with instructions to give it to his
(Dave's) brother-in-law, Watson Metioher. I
went over to Ligouier Sunday to see Watson
Menoher. He and his brother run the Na
tional Hotel. I did not see Watson but saw
his brother John and told him lo tell Wat
son that if he had the pocket-book he should
deliver it up to me at once and save further
trouble. Tuesday following I got a very
shoit letter from Watson Menoher, saying
that he did not want to get into any trouble ;
that he had had the xicket-book but bad
handed it over to old man Nicely. On
Thursday I went to Ligotiier njain and met
Watson Menoher; he said he didn't know
just how much money there was in the pock
et-book when he gave it lo the old man, but
thought there might have been between fifty
and one hundred dollars ; and some papers,
receipts, etc. I then went to old man Nice
ly 's: found him at home and asked him if
Watson Menoher had given him a pocket
book ; he said
HE HAD SOT.
I said it was strange, that Watson Men
oher had told me not over an hour ago that
he had given him the pocket-book. He
knew at the time that I waa au officer. Wat
son Meno'ier's wife w as there, and she spoke
up and said, Watson had given her the pocket-book
; siie said she had laid it on the ta
ble and her nvither old Mrs. Nicely had
taken it tip suirs. I then demanded the
pocket-biok ; old man Nicely went up stairs
and fetched it down ; there was no money
in it ; I said to Mr. Nicely, 'where is the
money?" She said 'there was no money in
it ; I said that 'Watson had told us not over
au hour ago that there was papers and mon
ey in it.' They all denied any knowledge of
money being in it. We got into our carriage
and started for L'gonier, intending to arrest
Waison Menoher ; about twenty-five rods
from the house we saw him coming on horse
back, riding fast; he jumped off his horse
and g it in the carriage on a seat beside me
and said : 'B'js, I lied lo yotl to-day; the
lime has come for me to protect myself; I
have been protecting them, but I'll tell you
the truth now if you'll let me.'
I told hi in to tell the truth ; that we were
on our way back to arrest him. He then
said, 'there was an
EVE $100 IS THE roc liET HOOK
when I gave it to Mr. Nicely.' I told him
they deoied that there was any money in it ;
he said he would go back with us and con
front them. We went back and demanded
the money. Mr. Nicely seeing Watson
Menoher there said: 'I've got the money
in my poekeibook' : I told him to hand it
over ; he handed me his own pocketbook,
containing about $175; some very old bills,
some i's, 10 s and o's."
Mrs. Parron. a sister of the Nicely boys,
said lo the old man : ' Yon w ill have to
watch llieu).' I told him to pick out the
one hundred dollars that bad been in the
pocketbook that David Nicely had given to
Thomas ; he said he could not do that ; that
he had it mixed in with his own money and
had sjeut some, aud would have to spend
more yet. We then searched the house, but
found nothing further.
The pocketoook was a long, dark-brown
one ; one that Mi'. Uiuberer U4ed to
CABBY IX HIS BOOT-LEO.
He had a small sheep-skin pouch which
he would put the px-ketboofc in to keep it
from nibbing. When it was shown to Mrs.
Umberger she said she thought it was her
husfiand'a. Adam Friedline, a son-in-la of
Mis. Umberger's, who made a payment to
him every year, and saw the pocketbook of
ten, says positively that it is one of Umber
ger ; several other parties who were famil
iar with the old man, also identify it ; in
putting it in and out of his boot-leg be would
hold it between his thumb and fingers, and
in that way had made quite a mark on
the one end of it ; there can be no question
but that it is one of the stolen ocketbooka."
A. A. MICELY S STATEMENT.
Mr. Anthony A. Nicely has written a let
ter to the Ligonier Hrrord pronouncing the.
stories published that he refused to give up
the jwckelbook alleged to have been the
property of the murdered man a false. Mr.
Nicely says his sou David handed his pock
etbook to Mr. Thomas on the night of the
arrest with instructions to send it home to
his wife ; that he did not refuse to give it up
nor knew anything aiwut where it came
from.
A New Departure,
Mr. Wal'er Loftus, advance agent for
Field's Minstrel Conqiany, billed to apiear
at the 0rs House next Monday evening,
called at this office yesterday. He says :
The public are continually demanding
something new. Minstrelsy has followed a
beaten itb for a number of yeirs, and,
whilst it is the most popular of all American
amusements, the peopiedi mand s mi chang
es. Al. G. Field & Co., seem lo have ."truck
tiie popular chord, as the press everywhere
sjieak in glowing terms of the originality
and refinement of tbeirentertainments. In
stead of the stereotyped hatj circle and ele
vation, introducing the bones and tamborine
men, the Al. G. Field minstrels begin their
entertainments with a spectacular military
peageiiL The stage is set to rt present a mil
itary encampment, with tents, camp fire and
ail the aceessones pertaining to a military
encampment : a dress parade, difficult drill
and manual of arms are introduced, with
the showy uniforms, glistening biyonets, and
martial music, making a very stirring mili
tary scene another scene of the military
lirsl part represents an evening around the
(amp lire, where songs choruses, dances, etc.,
and other specialties are introduced.
The comedians of the company, who, in
old lime minstrel shows were known as
bones and tamborines, ast as servants to the
officers, and have unlimited opportunities to
display their comic abilities. The company
is a large one, and lay an especial claim to
superiority.

Lutheran Ministers Oppose Prohi
bition. The Lutheran Pasioral Association of
Philadelphia on Monday, discussed the at
titude of the Christian toward the prohibi
tion amendment. The following thesis were
presented uy the Rev. A. Spaeth, D. D.: I
A prohibitory law, if at all found necessary,
can only be a measure of political or public
policy and not of morality, far less of relig
ious faith. 2. Prohibitory laws cannot be
demanded on principles of morality i a
remedy and cure of tbe moral evil of drunk
enness. 3. Much less can prohibition be
demanded or defended on the basis of the
principles of Evangelical Christianity. 4.
Even as civil measures for social enda, pro
hibition is of more than doubtful character,
because it fails to reach its end ; it becomes
the too! of a political party ; it is grossly un
just and unfair in destroying, without re
compense, wliat has thus far been as legal as
any other trade : it is against the spirit of
our whote constitution, which forbids tbe
mailing of laws concerning the religious
faith of the cit.zens tlie use of wine in
communion.
Tbe Rev. W. J. Mann. D. D., and the
Rev. S. Laird, D. D.. spoke against the
prohibitory amdendmeut, and the Rev. F.
A. Muhlenlierg, I). D., presented a resolu
tion that, "although we cannot favor the
proposed constitutional amendment, yet, as
Christian pastors, we will use all our in
fluence lo restrict the abuse of intoxicating
liquors," which was adopted.
Young Trout.
As spring opens the fishermen are prepar
ing for the summer's sport. In ISSj there
were thousands of young trout, deposited in
the streams of this part of the State. Accord
ing to the laws of the State, no fishing for
this particular fish was allowed lor three
years. The prescribed time is now up, and
having had three years rest the streams are
now abounding with the lieauties. There
were 37,(i0 young trout deposited in the
streams of this county, most of them in the
Y'ough and it tributaries. There, were 43.
OJU distributed in Somerset comity, chiefly
at Colifluenc. There were 70,oo0 put in
Westmoreland county streams at Ligonier
and New Florence. At Brady, Indiana coun
ty, 1S.0O0 were distributed, in Cambria
county 43,000 were distributed at Ebensburg,

Governor Beaver's Arbor-Day Proc
lamation. Governor Beaver has issued his proclama
tion designating Friday, April 20th, as Arbor
Lay. He seis forth that the subject of tree
planting has became so important that he
feels compelled to give wider scope to the
ob-ervancc of Arbor Imy than heretofore.
He speaks of the growing enterprise of cities
and tovns in providing public parks, urn
suggests that the uuthorities designate the
places for tree-planting and let the individual
ciiieens show their appreciation of these en
terprises hy pluming trees. He recommends
that special heed be given to beautifying the
highways in the country and tjwns.atid !so
in beautifying the grounds about public
schools.
He concludes the proclamation wilh : "Let
preliminary meetings be held to arrange for
the details of the observance of Arbor Day,
aud let our roadside welcome wilh smiling
verdure the era of better roadway3. which
we ho is dawning in Pennsylvania."

'TIs True and "Tis Pity.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Beyond doubt, however, trout fishing is
rapidly nearing its end in Pennsylvania.
Year after year it has steadily declined, and
the ad vanes of civilization only makes its
restoration more improbable. The streams
in which the finest trout once leaped are
now needed to drain mills, mines and fac
tories, and no amount of sentiment can
overcome this dollars and cents argument.
In the wilder counties the high dams are do
ing the work performed elsewhere by other
agencies, changing the verv nature of Ihe
streams, and making them sluggish and un
healthy. For Sale.

The new railroad from here up Ihe rpt-r
Y'oughiogheny river into the timber lands
on said river will lie constructed this com
ing summer. Some say tint cars wiil !
running by the last of July. Just where
the other end of tlie road a ii! be is not yet
fully determined. Some argue that it will
connect the Main line of tiie B. A . m ar

curtail the distance between Pittsburgh and
Oakland about !m miles. I; is not known,
I hoever. whether the management of tin; 1!.

There aie some very fine timber tracts
along the river which is the chief source of
attractiou at l resent. Th1 country after
leaving this State is coniiKirative'y poor ami

There is also coal and ores of various ki:. is
along the river. The uppi r formation oftbe

along tiie river as fur up as Sa!t hlji k. Unfor
tunately the principal seam coniaiusa i'.en,j.

some places, as it is not everywhere pr.sen!

times abundant down in tbi- tiiea-ure.
Tbe Hear Creek Iron Works of about fifij
or sixty years ago, are on this route. These
works prosperisl for awhile, because of the
superior quality of iron made out of tiie na

Brownsville v. as tisj expensive, and the en
terprise hail to lie abandoned for Ibis reason
only. The native oris make a fine quality
of iron, and furnaees'iuay soon le built.
This of course depends largely upon tiie
quaiiiy and quantity of mime nl and ore
in tbe hills i.li l g Ihe line of the road. II. re
is Ihe natural outlet lor all the traffic along
the river and it will all come here before il

is to get land to put improvements on. We

We wish iiooiieauy harm, bur lfsomeihings
were out of our way we could get along
much better, and some other parties would
