As will be seen by notice in this

It is rumored that Morris Ein
stein has becotoe converted and ac
cepted the Christian faith, at least he
was baptized by immersion on Mon
day afternoon, at the mouth of the
creek, and if it hadn't been for some
benevolent bystanders who pulled
him out, he'd probably "died in the
faith."
Geo. Hunter wishes to inform the
public that, having lately put his
grist mill in splendid tunning order,
he is prepared to do any amount of
grinding on short notice. Parties
going to and from the mill will have
free passage over the bridge. Mr.
Hunter warrants his grinding to give
entire satisfaction.
There will be a shooting match for
turkeys at Wm. Heath's place, on
Dutch Hill, next Saturday, 13th inst.
Any amount of fat turkeys will be on
hand, so that you can hardly miss get
ting one if you attend. If you haven't
already got your Christmas turkey
this will be a good place to get it, and
who would be without a turkey, on
Christmas?
Rev. H. II. Hoffman, who has
heretofore preached for the Reformed
congregation on Dutch Hill, and who
assisted Rev. Elliott at the Presbjteri
au Church, in ihis place, on one or
two occasions, died suddenly at his
home, in Monroeville, Clarion Co., on
the 27 tb, ult. Ho was very highly
esteemed by everybody in his neigh
borhood, and wherever he was known.
Mr. Lawrence will give his cus
tomary ball on the coming New Year's
night. Of course the music on this
occasion will be one of the principal
features of the affair, as in the past.
The tickets will be much less than
usual, which will doubtless he the
cause of drawing a much larger crowd
than heretofore. Altogether the affair
promises to be a success, and those
who attend can rest assured of a
pleasant time.
Our raflmen have been blessed
with another flood both in the creek
and river during the past week, enab
ling them to get out about all the
lumber that was left back from the
last freshet, a considerable portion of
which had been stuck along the
creek between here and Lacytown.
Two "Alleghenies" of Ford & Lacy's
lumber "tied loose" on Monday, with
Nelt. Cole and Wm. Felton as pilots
Jas. Ilaggarty contractor.
The Tidioute News says: "Mr.
James Green of Hickory, was prostrat
ed by a stroke of paralysis, Tuesday
evening last. For a month or two
symptoms of the attack have shown
themselves, without their danger
being apprehended. Tuesday after
noon Dr. Freeman went down to see
him, and after a careful study of the
case, announced- to his friends that Mr.
Green was liable to a sudden attack.
Aud while the Doctor was yet there
the shock came. The right side is
completely paralyzed and he lies in a
comatose state, paying no attention to
anything. That be will rally from
the attack can hardly be expected,
owing to his years and the severity of
tho 6hock." We learn from his son
Mr. John Green, that his father was
somewhat better on Sunday last, and
that there were some hopes of his par
tial recovery, unless another shock
should take place.
Andrew Tracy expiated his ter
rible crime on the gallows in the
Sroetbport, McKean Co., jail on
Thursday last. As is generally the
case in such affairs the job was a most
bungled one, the doomud man having
literally been hung twice. The Der
rick gives the following particulars of
tho sickening affair: "Precisely at
1:45 the Sheriff severed tho rope that
held the drop upon which Tracy was
standing, and he fell with an awful
thud. The kuot had not been tied
perfectly aud the weight of the body
caused it to slip out, and the prisoner
fell through the drop striking the
stone floor, a distance of seven feet.
Something like a groan went up from
the spectators at this unexpected hor
rible accident. Tracy struck on his
feet, but in a second, his arms and
legs being tied, toppled over on his
head and struck the hard wall, relaps
ing into insensibility. The sheriff and
the attendants rushed up, caught him
and raised him to his feet. Recover
ing his sense), Tracy exclaimed, "I
forgive all my enemies," continuing
to repeat the litany of his religion.
While adjusting the rope a second
time be fainted again, and was
launched into eternity unconscious of
the means used. This time the neck
was broken by the fall, the only indi
cation of feeling being the slight con
traction of the limbs. The heart
stopped beating in six minutes after,
making sixteen minutes in all. None
of the relatives were present at the
exectution."

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.
A Daring Attempt to Burglarize
May, Park & Co.'s Bank.
Yesterday morning at the usual
hour, as Mr. Kelly entered the Bank
and walked into the room wheie the
safe stands he was astonished to find
the outside door broken open and a
lot of implements scattered about pro
miscuously on the floor. Upon exam
ination it was found that the outer
door of the Bafe had been pried open
with iron wedges about 7 inches
in length, one of which was yet fas
tened in the door. The small rivets
with which tho door-plates are fastened,
were evidently cut with a cold-chisel.
Theso plates were pried open sufficiently
to allow the burglars to force tbe large
bolls bock, allowing the door to swing
open. Thus the first doors of the safe
were opened, and oce obstacle over
come. An attempt was evidently made to
go through the second doors by out
side force, as one of the handles was
br6ken off, but being unable to work
to as good advantage on them they
apparently abandoned it, and under
took to blow the doors open with
powder. A hole was drilled through
the top of the safe, back of the second
doors, into which powder had been
poured and touched off with fuse, some
pieces of which were found in the
room. From the appearance of things
a considerable cbargo tnuBt have been
used, ns the doors wero so badly
bulged as to make it impossible to
turn the combination, and the inside
of the first doors were considerably
blackened and marred by the burnt
powder as it oozed out of (he crevices.
Up to this writing Mr. Kelly has
been unable to open the door, aud
cannot tell what damage has been
done on the inside. Of. course the
money and valuables are all right,
being deposited in tbe back part of
the safe, which ia secured by a burglar
proof box and locks, and it is evident
the thieves did not get the second
doors open so as to reach this box.
Had they been successful in getting
the second doors open, their work
would have only begun, as it would be
impossible to effect an eotiauce to
the burglrr-proof box.
The burglars were not entire
strangers, it would seem, as they knew
where to get tools to work with. A
sledge-hammer, a bit-brace and
monkey-wrench belonging to Blum's
blacksmith shop were found ; and a
crowbar, two iron wedges, and a round
piece of J-iuch steel, sharpened at one
end, and a ring bent on the other end,
evidently newly made, were also found
in the room ; no one seems to recog
nize these tools. The half inch drill
with which the hole was beared must
have ben a loug and slender one, aud
been made for the occasion, as the hole
is over a foot deep. This tool could
not be found. The entrance to the
bank was effected by hoisting a window
in the rear of the building.
The" thieves probably left their work
unfinished on account of the approach
of day, as they no doubt were late
getting commenced, several citizens
having been in the vicinity as late as
11 o'clock, who saw or heard nothing
unusual. A gentleman passed the
Ceutral House, opposite tho bank,
about 1 o'clock, but saw or heard
nothing. Tracks made by rubbers
were discovered about tbe premises.
Messrs. Doutt and Raisig who have
their room over the blacksmith shop
say they heard a slight noise in the
shop some time during ftunday night,
but, listening and hearing nothing
more,they paidTw further attention to
it. As Mr. Blum missed his sledge on
Mouday morning it is just possible the
burglars stole it at that tine, intend
ing to make the attempt on Sunday
night.
The whole affair is yet a mystery,
and wo have heard no surmises as to
who the perpetrators could have been,
there having been na suspicious char
acters lurking about for the past tow
days that any of our citizsns know of.
Mr. Kelly has dispatched for an ex
perienced mechanic, who will proba
bly be here to-day aud open the
Later. Since the above was in
type U has been discovered that the
knob or handle of the outer door was
broken off, and sufficient powder in
serted to cause the plates to bulge out
enough to allow a wedge or crowbar
to enter. The same plan was tried
with the second doors, but the handle
had broken off too close to the edge to
allow any powder to enter, conse
quently they were obliged to drill the
hole through tbe top.
A limb struck Jim McClintock
on the bridge of the nose yesterday,
-while getting out stave bolls, breaking
it (the nose) and blacking both his
eyes. This makes the third time that
same nose has been broken, and Jim
thinks it's getting sort o' monotonous.
An accident occurred on the A.
V. R. R., opposite Reno, between Oil
City and FrankMn, on Saturday morn
ing last. The mixed train which
leaves Pittsburgh at 8:50 and arrives
in Oil City at 5:50, struck a land-slide,
causing eight freight cars and the lo
comotive to jnmp the track and roll
down the embankment. The fireman,
Arthur Simpson, was instantly killed.
The engineer and forward brakeraau
were both slightly injured. Quite a
number of passengers were on board,
but as none of the pasnenger cars left
tbe track, no one was injured beyond
a good sbaking-up. This is the first
serious accident this road has sustained
for several years, it having been very
fortunate in this respect, owing no
doubt to its guod management. ,
Miss Burley, teacher of the Mor
risdale Mines school, and a cousin of
Miss Melissa Burley, last week met
with a full fledged pugilist in the per
son of one ot her female scholars. Miss
Burley had occasion to correct the
girl who was old enough to be a
young lady and approached her to
force compliance with her command,
but the girl, her intention not having
beeu diviaed by Miss Burley, rose up
in her seat and struck square from the
shoulder, knocking the teacher down,
and upon tho attempt of the latter to
get up, repeated the operation, felling
her senseless to the floor. She was at
once carried to her boarding place
and a physician summoned, and at
last accounts was not able to be out
of bed. Iltr assailant was arrested
and placed under bail. Clearfield

A social club. If such a society
were to canvas its members, and they
in turn carry on tho work of introduc

feci that cookery was soo.i to be all
that health could possibly wish, or tbe

that the publisher, Mr. J. Fred. Wag
goner, Chicago, is desirous of securing
a worthy and intelligent agent in this
vicinity, to whom liberal pay is prom

-Peterson's Magazine for January
is already out, and a magnificent num
ber it is : a triumph of art, literature
and fashion. The principal steel en
graving, ''A Message from the Sea,"
is one of rare beauty. It and its
companion, "The Runaway Pair,"
which illustrates a ctory by Frank
Lee Benedict, are alone worth the
price of the number. The double-size,
colored, steel fashion plate is unri
valed, and will fuscinate all the ladies.
Then there is a largo colored pattern,
in Art needlework, a really superb
affair. By all means subscribe for
this Magazine for 1880. It is both
the cheapest and best of its kind. The
price is only two dollars a year.

Dr. Shamburg's Operations.
One of the inont euergetic and suc
cessful operator? of the Venango re
gions is at work in the oil fields of
Forest County, as the extensive opera
tions of Dr. Shr.rnburg on tbe Fogle
aud Manross farms iu Harmony town
ship amply attest.
In that section he is pumping some
thing like a dozen wells, with a yield,
it is said, of about 1500 barrels per
month. It is said ho is projecting
other wells to be located scientifically
from the wells at present in operation.
His machinery and fixtures are first
class in style, and from his past suc
cess and intelligent search for oil
nothing but a bright future for his
operations can be predicted. Under
his management the barren bills of the
West Hickory and McArthur run
valley will bud and blossom as the
rose. He is doing a great work for
Forest ss well as for himself. He has
