Irvine, representing the Nt;w York 7V;'.M.ie Fresh-Air Fund, the sweetest of all charities, visited our moun tain town last week for tbe purpose of in teresting onr ministers and newsipers, and through them the public generally, in that behalf. T he ol ject of the Fresh-Air Fund, as we understand it, is for the purpose of giving tne ciiuuren or poor people in me over-crowded tenement quarters, of the me tropolis an opportunity to escape from the impure and fetid air of their miserable homes for a few weeks during the heated season and enjoy the pure and invigorating air of the country. Last year over $24,n was contributed for this purpose, and 11,113 children were sent to the country for a two weeks' visit. The managers of the Fresh- Air Fund ask the hospitable people of the country to entertain tbe children, wbo are selected as nearly as possible in accordance with the wishes of the hosts and will be brought to them and taken back to their homes at tbe expiration of their visit by a qualified person, bo volunteers his services without pay and is only too eager to evince his interest in the charity by conducting the children to and from tbe country. The one requisite that is strenuously insisted upon is cleanliness, and the youngsters always leave their homes thoroughly scrubbed and clean. They are all subjected to a careful examination by a physician before leaving their homes, to prevent carrying contagious diseases with them. Children were enter tained last year in all of the New England States and in New Y'ork and New Jersey and as far west in Pennsylvania as Fulton county. The managers of the fund hope to extend tha work this season and would be pleased to receive applications for children from some of the hospitable people of som erset county. In concluding his report for last year the manager of the Fresh-Air Fund says : "Tt TrJiunt has nothing but words of praise for the thousands of kind, hospitable people in the country who have entertained the chil dren. Thev are the ones who are put to the great -t trouble and inconvenience, for it i- they who do the work. Their gener- o-.ity strengthens the bond betwesn country and city, fciernity alone will show the re sults of their patience and care and love," Tried ThrTlm for Murde-r. j For the first time daring three trials for Lis life, Jacob Staub was allowed to go on tbe witness stand at Vniontown on Friday and tell his story of his trouble with and the killing of Alpbeus Glover. At tbe time of bis former trials tbe law forbade tbe defend ant in capital cases from testifyicj; in his own behalf, but that disability was removed by aa act passed in ISSC His testimony was as follows : ''My full name Is Jacob Staub, and I ain in my seventieth year. I was born and raised in Maryland, and came to this county in IsCl. I was in the l ine Hundred and Sixty-eighth rtjriuient and was nine months in the war. My farm adjoined tbat of Al pbeus Glover on Beaver creek. On July 20, 1672, 1 was engaged with theboys in haul ing wheat, and in the evening after we quit work I told tbe boys to turn the horses out in the lot. I took my rilie and went down the road, where I heard my hog squealing. I met Verdi Clover on tbe east side of Judy run, coming with the ows, I went on past her. and about 2J0 yards further on I met Alf. Glover with his dogs. I asked Glover why he was dogging my bogs, and be said: 'I will dog them if they don't stay out of my field.' I told him if tbey did not stay out of his field I would pen them up, but did not want them dogsed. He cursed me and said : 'You feel big with that gun.' I said I did not need any gun, and handed tbe weapon back to the boys. "I did not see who took it, but I saw Glo ver had a club in bis hand. I had hardly turned around when Verdi ran between her father and me and begged bim not to curse me so. He took ber by the arm and thtvw her away. He then struck me oa the bead with tbe club and knocked me down, and began beating me until I was unconscious. I did not hear any shot fired, and the next thing I knew I was sitting at the foot of an oak tree and my wife was bathing my tice with camphor and holding my bead, which had a lump aa big as half an egg. i did not shoot Alpbeus Glover, and I am as innocent of tbat as a neav-bom babe. I had no re volver with me on that day. I never made any threats against bim to any one." Staub then related the marvelous story of his escape; of how a man walked into bis cell at midnight and waked him up ; how he was lifted up by a rope, and through the roof, and bow two men were in waiting and bustled him off, and finally how he wan dered about tbe country for sixteen years. After being out just five hours the Staub jury agreed on a verdict ol not guilty. The court house bell was rung, and the aged prisoner was brought into the court room. For tbe third time in his life Staub arose, held up his right hand and faced a jury which was to give him life or death. With fear and the infirmities of 7'. years, hia once strong right arm trembled as he heard the clerk ask the jury for their verdict. When the words "Not guilty" reached bim he sank into his chair and, leaning bis head upon his bis hands, wept tears of joy. He was immediately discharged, and was met at tbe door by his aged wife, with whom he went arm in arm from the court bouse. The old man was congratulated by crowds of friends. Immediately after bis discbarge be went to the jail, where he collected his goods, and left for his mountain home. The verdict is received with favor by some and is loudly condemned by others. The jury was composed largely of old men, who it is claimed, leaned nrore strongly to the side of mercy for the aged accused than they would have done at the the time the crime was committed, 19 years ago.

On Friday, June 5, WM, James Kelley, a resident of Middlecreek township, was call ed away by death. Deceased was about Co years old and was a man who has done more for bis country than any other man in tbe neighborhood. He might aptly be called " The hero of two wars," for he figured in tbe Mexican war of l-(G-47 and also in tbe late rebellion. As a soldier he was brave, and his servi ces were or mucn value, lie possessed a strong constitution and great power for en during hardships. He sustained two severe ounds in battle, which would doubtless proven fatal in the case of one of less pow erful endurance. For the last twenty years of his life be lived on a farm and devoted himself to the tranquil pursuits of civil life. As a neighbor and a citiaen he was loved and respected by all wbo knew him. He was a man of good, sound judgment, and bavin; acquired considerable knowledge, he could converse admirably upon most any subject. He was a moral man, and of a re ligions temperament, and was loved and re spected by all who knew him. Since he is gone forever from onr presence we will sua noia mm in loving remem brance, hoping his spirit is roaming with tbe blest. Asosymovs. D. B. COOI'ER. WM. H. CLOU3E Notice.

The house of Samuel Meyers, a prom inent and wealthy farmer of that neighbor hood, was consumed by fire, and two of bis daughters perished in tbe flames.

Mr. and Mrs. Meyers escaped from tbe bouse in their night clothes, and tbe husband made a frantic and heroic effort to reach the room in which Lis children were sleeping. This room was separated from the or;e occupied by himself end wife by a solid wall. Tbe agonizing shrieks of the girls could be beard calling for help form the bed chamber in which tbey were Imprisoned by the flames, and the father made a bold dash into the burning 4ia!lway and attempted to mount tbe stairs through a sheet of flame, in a road effort to rescue his darlings, but it was too late, and be was forced to retreat from tbe building, after his face and hands had been scorched and blistered. A ladder was procured and hoisted to tbe room in which tbe poor children were roasting, but the beat was so intense tbat no one could venture to ascend it, and tbe crowd which had by this time assembled were compelled to stand id'.y by and watch tbe progress of tbe fire, realizing that they were powerless to rescue tbe ucfortune children from its deadly clutches. The boose was occupud by Mr. Licbty, a blind man, f2 years old ; Mrs. Elizabeth Meyers, Paul Werner, Charles Butler, Wm. Countryman, of Jennertown, Amanda Eoy- er, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Meyers, and their four dsughters Lizzie, Emma, Clara and Missouri.

Junei;, . r-FOP. ASSOCIATE JTDOrl Thinks the Boom is Booming. Emto Hkeald For a number of years the people of this community have bn waiting for a boom, and now at last after a dozen or more transient excitements and disappointments our hope seems on a fair way to be realized. A couple weeks ajro the IIkralb publish ed a brief notice of tbe purchase of tbe Bare Rock by Messrs Woy & Murdock. I am now able to state that tbe proposed railroad to the rocks has been located and laborers are at work on tbe grade of the same ; and. nw while the prospects for business are to flattering, I wish to enumerate some of the undeveloped n-source of this vicinity. For years tbe lumbering bn-ines has been the main dependence of oar people, but with tbe rapid disappearance of tbe large timber, the prospect for the future was any thing but bright. There is still a great deal of wood that can be converted into charcoal but as the work u mostly done by persons from other counties, it is of no great anvant- age to our own laborers. On the bind purchased by Messrs Woy & Murdock, lyingadjaoent to the Somerv-t & Cambria R. P.., is a fine vein of coal, also a fine quality of potters clay, while on tbe farm of H. H. Brunt on tbe east side of tbe station there are veins of coal, fire clay and Iron ore lying right together so that all could be worked in the same drift. Sandwiched between the upper and under strata of this ore, and forming a deposit about 14 inches thick is a soft dark mineral with greasy surface and having some resem blance to plumbago or black lead. Nobody knows what tbis substance is, but it corres ponds very closely with the description of tbe mineral called talc, from which magne sia is obtained. If I am not wrong in tbis opinion it must be very valuable, as it is a rare mineral and of great importance in the arts, the magnesia light being tbe only arti ficial substitute for tbe aoloray in phitog aphry. There is also a fine mineral spring on tbe farm. Men of capital interested in tbe develope- ment of new fields of enterprise would do well to visit us and investigate for them' selves, F. H.
