The following items ar Ukeo
from the St., Mry Qatette :
On Tuesday last a Swede working
t Hawks mill, about three miles
from the place was fatally injured by
biip; struck on the head by the limb
of a falling tree. . After being struck,
he romained unconcious for some
time, but he partially recovered the
uteofhis mind.. Dr. Harlman and
Reynolds were smruoned, who upon
examination, found that the skull nail
been fractured from a point on bis
forehead immediately Above thd nose
around to the back part of the head, a
fracture nine inches long. In this
condition be lived but seven hours
after the accident occurcd.
Monday evening last, about half
past niae o'clock this whole communi
ty was thrown into a state of terrible
excitement by the report that a man
named Horack had been killed on the
street opposite John K rug's Meat
market. A few minutes after being
found, G. C. Brandon, J. P. was no
tified, when he proceeded tq the spot
indicated and found .he body as re
ported.. Dr. Reynolds was summoned,
whe examined the body add pronoun
ced life extinct, when it was removed
' to a room in the town hall building,
and a jury summoned to hold an iu
.quest. Drs. Reynold's and Hartmnu pro
ceeded to hold a post mortem exam
ination en the body of the deceased,
after which they testified that deceased
had received an iiijury on the back
part of the head tlio concussion of
which bad caused congestion of tho
brain with a strong efl'usion of blood
on the brain, said wound being made
by a blunt instrument, and was suffic
ient to cause death. Other testimony
elicted pointed to Wm. Zelt as the
person who had committed the deed.
-The jury found the fallowing verdict,
- "that said John Horack came to bis
, death at the ceunty aforesaid on the
. evening of June 2d 1873, -by being
. struck on the back of the beat) with a
jitone or other blunt instrument by
William Zelt of St. Mary's, Elk Coun
ty , Pa., making a gash or cut about
.two inches in length on the scalp and
.extending to the skull bone making
-.an .abrasion on the bone, causing con
ftnUoa of the brain, and with strong
efiusioB of blood on the brain, and
causing a mortal wound of which said
Horack then and there died at the
hour of about half past nine o'clock
on the night of June 2, 1873." Wm.
Zelt was committed to jail.
, The deceased was a man of intern
. perate habits, and bad served a term
to Penitentiary for murdering a man
about eight years ago. It is a singu
lar coincidence that he met a violent
.loath within one hupejred yards of the
,fcbe spot in which ha committed a
j&urderous deed some eight years ago.
Zelt has been a citizen of this place
frptn boyhood, and has enjoyed the
reputation of being a quiet industri
ous citizen. There was such a marked
difference ia the habits and disposi
tion of the two men, that it has crea
ted a great deal of sympathy in this
community in favor of the accused.
; Brookville, Pa., Juue 3, 1873.
The borough of Corsica, seven miles
rest of this place, was almost entirely
destroyed by fire last evening. , Every
hotel, store and manufactory in the
town was burned. Nearly all the suf
ferer by the tire nave lost everything
net even having a change of clothing,
and would have been compelled to
pass the night in the streets bad it not
been for the generosity of those whose
Domes were not destroyed.
AN APPEAL.
Oa the evening of June 2d, 1873,
the village of 'Corsica, Jefferson Coun
ty, Pa., one of the most prosperous
and flourishing towns iu this part of
. me estate, was all burnt but the sub
yrbs. All tho shops but one, all the
IoteI, Stores, and Mills wereconsum
. erl. The loss is estimated at $130,
.000. All but a very little of the eu
, tire capital of the town is lost. Tha
flames spread with such rapidity that
but little property could be saved,
some escaping with ouly the clothes
they had eu at the time. In about
one houraud forty minutes forty-three
buildings were lying in charred and
smoking ruins. - Many families are
.lqft horseless and homeless, not having
.eaved a single meal ' of victuals.
'Many mechanics and laborers are
thrown out of employment, and their
families are ia want.
, An appeal is hereby made to the
. charity of the public. Contributions
should be sent to the following

A double smashup occurred on the
Valley lioad, at Emlenton. early on
Saturday moruing." freight train No,
17 had been divided rulo five spctiono,
of which several werp following each
other closely. At six-Qfleeu the third
section was standing on the main
track at Emlenton, when section four
came along at a rapid speed from
Foxburg aud ran into the rear with
fearful force. The locomotive was to
tally wrecked, the caboose knecked in
to fragments, and half a dozen oil and
coal cars badly damaged. ' Ere' the
officials had recovered from the excite
ment of the collision, the fifth section
approached, running into the rear of
the fourth and repeating the destruc
tion of a few momenta before. The
locomotivo was terribly damaged, sev
eral cars were smashed, and the draw
heads and end sections of others brok
en. Means were promptly taken to
clear the debris, a wrecking car going
from Oil City to assist the operation.
In the meantime trains passed over
the side-track, which bad not been ob
structed, though ' broken cars lay
piled around iu the greatest confusion.
Happily no person was injured, the
engineers aud firemen manacinir to
jump from thp locomotives in both in
stances before the shock. Ihe dam
aged locomotives were Kos. 53 and 59
respectively, and the loss to - the rail
way company must amount to quite a
large sum. It has not transpired who,
if anybody, is to blame for the occur
rence, which mighl so easily have re
sulted in the sacrifice of human life.
The heavy trains were under full
headway, aud aould not be stopped in
time to prevent a collision, but no
doubt the proper authorities will in
stitute a thorough investigation of the
Affair. Derrick.
Tho following items are
take
from the Clarion Democrat:-'
The body of a child was found one
morning last week in a ditch, at tho
west end ef Petersburg. An inquest
was held, M. S. Booth Esq., acting as
coroner, and it was decided it had
been born alive. After some search
a woman named Wainwright was
found, who resided near by ou whom
suspicion rested. She at first dpuied
all knowledge, but afterwards confes-
ed she was mother of the child, arid
had thrown it out. The woman has
since left for parts unknown.
The Spiritual oil well at Blyson
Run, so long an persistently prosecu
ted by Dr. James against the precon
ceived opinions of the many who have,
long months passed, given up hopo of
seeing oil come, is actually producing
through the sand, not oil, nor blood,
but something as red as blqod. aud the
spirits still declar that vast seas of oil
lie below, and they are going for it,
net the spirits, but the drill. They
are now down 174 feet. So mote it

Tho following from the Clearfield
Jaurnal:
On Sunduy morning last, Juno 1st,
Mr. William Fulleton, residing near
the Goodfellow bVidge, two miles
above this place, on going to his barn,
found a bbe lying on tho floor, which
had been left there during the night.
The child (a boy) is supposed te be
four or five weeks old, quite hncdseme,
and was well wrapped up. A bottle
of milk was standing at its side. The
little waif was taken charge of, by a
neighbor lady, uptil it could be other
wise provided for.
As a man named Andrew Pattersou
was engaged in blasting some rocks in
the bod f Anderson's creek, near Du
Bout" log camp, in Huston township,
on Tuesday afternoon. . May 27th, the
blast was prematurely exploded by
ma acciucnuy sinning lire Irorn a
small 6tono with which he was tamping
the charge. He was thrown off his
feet and some distauce into tho air by
tho force of the explosion, yet, strange
to relate, lie was fortunate as to escape
with uubroken bones, though his faco
ami one arm were severely burned,
and one arm considerably cut by a
fragment of the rock.
A few days einoe three prisoners
escaped from the Elk count jail.
The names are James Crook, John
Kelley and Patrick Gleuson the twd
former charged with stabbing with in
tent to kill, and tho lattor with forger'.
The following note addressed to the
Sheriff, and signed by the parties, was
found after their departure : Dear
Sir: Wo, the undersigned, return our
most heartfelt thanks for the kindnees
you have shown us while under your
charge. If we thought it would in
any way injure you, we would not un
dertake so rash an act aa to attempt to
escape, iiut treedom is swper, and
the iuwnuUy we have used in attain
ing our liberty will, we bone, remove
any stigma which may be cast on your
character as a jailor." The SheriU'ef
fers $300 reward far the return of the
fugitives. ...... .i .-. .
