A large number of the venerable 'Squire's relatives and neighbors gathered at his home to congratulate him, and to ei press their wishes for his continued good health and longevity. There is no res ident in the northern section of this county more favorably known or more highly teemed by hundreds of acquaintances than Mr. Beam. His stalwai't tgure is a familiar sight on the streets cf this town, made so from almost weekly visits, extending back great number of years, lie nas oeen a welcome caller at this office from time out of date, and we indulge the bope that he may be spared his present excellent health and strength for many years to come. An accident occurred at the residence of Win. Boyt?, three miles north of this place, about eight o'clock Monciay evening, that will cause the eldest daughter of the family, Miss Ids, to regret her carelessness for some time to come. It seems that one of her little brothers cornered a rat in one of the rooms of the dwelling and called on his sister for a small self-acting revolver be knew she pos sessed, with which to despatch the rodent. Miss Ida brought the revolver, and while showing her brother how to use it, the weapon was accident! y exploded, the ball entering the young lady's leg about half way between the hip and knee, and pasting downward, lodged somewhere near the knee joint. The wound is not necensarily a den- gerous one, but may result in crippling the young lady for life. Firearms are dangerous under all circumstances, and more especially in the hands of children and inexperienced girls, and heads of families will do well to see that they are placed beyond the reach of both.

Mr. Charles Mentzer, a well known citizen of this township, and one of the most prom inent lumbermen in the county, was strick en with paralysis on Friday last while at work at his mill in the vicinity of Rock wood. He was brought to Somerset Satur day, and rcraoved to his home three miles eat of town, where he is lingering iu a very critical condition. Mr. Mentzer is a very heavy man, about fifty -e'ght years of age, . The following about the McKinley broth ers is from a late number of the Cleveland Yw t "Tuough not by any m-ans a wealthy man, as wealth is now considered Major McKinley is by no means poor.

Then his brother Abncr, has inveuled a tyte-writer telegraph machine that is turning out a great success and its $.",0o0.! stock is advancing in value as the machine comes nearer perfection. If it does prove all that is claimed for it the McKinley family will become very rich. George Shaver, Esq.,if Snyder's mill, in this township, called to pay for his paper Monday morning. He has been a constant reader of the Hia-iLD for forty-five years, and has resided at Snyder's for fifty years. Mr. Sbaver is a remarkably active and well preserved man, and expects to celebrate his Hoth birthday on Sunday, the 2th instant, at the residence o.' his soo-in-law, Alex.

Mr. Jotiab Ppecht, the hearty, good hu mored and robust merchant prince of Spruce town, rie-.tr the village of Stoyestown, met with an accident last Tuesday afternoon that in all probability will render him a cripple the reroaimler of days. Mr. Specht had been gunniug in tbe woods some distance fool his place of business and was returning kome driving in a road cart, bis fowling piece resting between his legs. A sudden jr of the vehicle caused the gun to slip from its position, and Mr. Specht grabbed it by the barrel to replace it, Tbe hammer of the gun bad caught fast to some portion of the cart and exploded tbe weapon, its contents, pene trating Mr. S'pecht's right arm above the elbow and tearing the flesh and muscles en tirely away from the bone np to the shoul der. The horse behaved admirably, and Mr. Secht was able to drive to his home, where medical aid was at once summoned, and the wound carefully dressed. Ir.J. M. Louthcr. of this place, who has Wa ia constant oon sultatioo with Mr. Ppecht' home physicians since the accident occurred, think that the arm will not . hv to be smpntated. Mr. Speolit ia well known all over the county, and Lis ausny frieads will be pained to learn of his oaliforto.De. An accident on west Main Street shortly b fore the dinner hour Monday ,moniing caused many good housewives to leave tbe meal under preparation to the mercies of a hot fire while they themselves shrieked with paia at the fearful scene before their eyes and which had drawn them into the street. Mr. Ed Sufdll, of Russell Stewart's meat market, was driving a spirited horse down the road, hitched to a vagon, and bad five little children riding with him. Sud denly a burr dropped to the ground from the front axle, and a moment afterwards one of the wheels went spinning into the gutter at the side of the road. Mr. Sufall was jolted from the seat when the wagon box dropped to one side, and, catching on the rubber, was thrown under the wheels, one of which passed over the lower part of bis stomach. His little niece, a daughter of Fi-ank Sufall, was thrown over the box onto thesingle-tree, where she grasped the horse's tail and held on until , hsr strength gave way, when she dropped under the wagon, sustaining a number of ugly cuts about her head and body. The other children remain ed in the wagon, holding on as best tbey could, until the horse, now thoroughly frightened, succeeded in releasing himself from it, after having dragged it several squares and upsetting it in the gutter. " For tunately Aone of the four children who re mained in it were injuied. Mr. Sufall was picked up and carried to his home, where be is suffering from internal injuries sustained. The accident caused great exoitement in the west ward, as may well be conjectured. Shortly before midnight, Thursday, two masked men entered the small but in the rear of Josiah Brant's farm bouse, on the hilltop south of town, and rudely seiz ing the lane occupant, I.obengier Kimmell, dragged him from his bed, blindfolded hira afid tied him fast to a bed post before they proceeded to ransack his house. Mr. Kim mell, who is iu the neighborhood of seventy yean of age, and not strong physically, offered no resistance. He says that he was aroused from bis slumbers by the breaking open of the door, and that before he had time to get np two men with handkerchiefs tied over their faces, one of whom wore a beard, took bold of him ; tbe man with the beard held his hands, while the other tied a sack over his bead. Then they secured his hands and feet to a bedpost with pieces of wire, and after taking in 6't which be bail corn-flaled ander lib pillow," left him in that condition. In the' course of an hour Mr. Kimmell managed to release one of his bands from its wire fastening, and then suc ceeded in freeing himself entirely. He then went to tee bouse of Henry Koontz, a few rods distant, and after apprising him of what bad occurred, asked Koontz to go with him back to his house. Mr. Koontz complied with Vis request, and found the house all torn op and the wire coils around tbe bed post, as Kimmell bad represented. It appears that soAie ti b:s ago Kirameii bad purchased the Chaflea Hoffman property In the south of this borough, and bad only on more pay ment to make on it. To make this final pay ment he recently sold a horse and deposited the proceed, ox", tb sal is bank. He drew $130 - iu' - Thursday morning, and that fact was evideotly known to the bold scoundrels. There is no clue as to who tlie robbers were, but then can be but. little doubt that bey were persons acquainted with the ftgwl victim."1 J : - .

Prospecting for Silver, BiAvta Falus, SepL IL Alexander Grove of Leetonia, Obio, is prospecting on tbe farm of Thomas Kenned, near tbis towu, and has struck evidences of siirer in paying quantities, wbicb lies in a blue gray rock on level with the run. Tradition has it that there ia silver and lead in the little valley. Mr. Grove asserts positively that his uncle when a boy got lead in its pure state some where on tlio Bates farm, which is nearer tbe mouth of the run. Years of search have failed to reveal it, however. In searching on the bill at tbe Kennedy farm Mr. Grove came upon traces of lead Where I be ground bad been dug Bp and fill ed. He followed it about twenty feel, but failed to reach the end. Tbe oldest settlers cannot remember that the place was ever opened. While sixty years ago it was a bar ren part of the bill, now it is tiled with trees and shrubery the same as the rent of the place. Digging down Mr. Grove came upon the blue-gray rock, which on the surface assayed sixteen ounces of silver to tbe ton. He is now down five feet deeper and it is much richer. There are also traces of bad ia tbe rock, which is very toft when wet He hopes by digging down further ta strike a vein of lead or a richer find of silver. He has been advised to follow np the old trench which might lead to an important discovery. Mr. Grove will start prospecting on tb Bates farm tbis week and will dig away the whole hillside to find the lead vein his un cle knew of when a boy. Every day crowds of jieople visit the place. s HERIFF'S SALE. Wanted, Immedately ! Girls for general housework. Call or ap ply to room 44, Park Tlace Johustown, Fa.
