SINGULAR. MURDER CA"it.—The exit&
iaal court of Waynesburz, Green county;
has been trying a remarkable murder
ease during the past week. The easa is
that of Thaddeus Younkin, for the mur
der of his father, Charles Younkin. The
'prisoner is a young man, twenty-one of
twenty-two years of age, mid the father
was aged fifty.six. It is claimed by the
Commonwealth in the trial that the olel
man was shot While quietly sitting by the
cooking stove, awaiting his supper. The
defense admit, that the accused shot him,
but contend that the father was a danger
ous man. lie had given his wife ten
minutes to get supper and furnish warm
bread, threatdning to kill her if She fail

She had run to the cellar for cream, and
had returned to get flour. The demand
had followed her and struck her with a
dipper. Becoming dill more enraged
be threw aside the dipper and ran for a
butcher-knife. Not succeeding in getting
this, he endeavored to snatch a large iron
shovel. The mother tsas in the meantime
screaming and crying. The son, to save
his mother, shot his firther
SINGULAR ACCIDUNT.—An interesting
i=on of Mr. William Watson, of Oakville,
aged four years, accidentally hung him
self in the following curious manner : The
boy had left the house while the mother
was attending to"some work, and on being
missed she went in search of hiiri to differ
ent places. Not finding him, site went
into the lot in the rear of the house and to
her horror diseoliered the child hanging
with his head between two boards in ti
partition in the pen, and dead. The boy
!lad evidently climbed up the partition
and inserted his head in a crack, which
was scarcely wide' enough to admit it,
when his feet sliped, and being unable to
'help himself, he was strangled.
REGULATING A COAL STOVE.—Never

full , csf coal, even in the c;oldeit weather.—
When the fire is low never sl*ke the grate
or di4t64.b the ashes, but add ftein ten to
fifteen 'lamps of coal and set the draft o
pen. When these are heated through Mid
somewhat ignited, add the amount rieces
ary for a neiv fire, but do not disturb the
ashes yet. 'Let the draft he open half an
hour. Then shake out the ashes. The
coal becomes ignited, and will keep the
stove at a high 'heat
, from six to twelve
hours, according to 'the coldness of the

such force upon his right shoufder as to

EWSPAPER SPOAFE.—We learn from
the 'tin Boonsboro' -cdd Fellow that a ped
hagogird-named-Noah_BrummettAyse bro't
to :rid in that 'lace recent! under the
following eircumstanCes . : The person re
ferred to, it appears, had been sponging his
newspaper , reading for years by borrowing
and utherwige,, though amply able to pay
his way. The aforesaid Brurnmett after
patronizing the estabit4hment of a Mr. J.
E. Welty, dealer in newspapers, in his
peculiar way; for. a period of ten months.
had a bill presented for reading at 30
cts. per month, making the amount $3,00.
'Declining to "foot" thebill, legal proceed
ings were institued, and the result was
that his ten months 'sponging" just cost
him $3,90. It strikes is the proceedings
in this case are alike creditable to Mr.
Welty and the justice who rendered the
verdict, and should prove a warning to
persons of Mr. tittrnmett's class who fre
quent country stores and post-offices and
carry away subscribers' papers.
TRANSFERS of REAL ESTATE.—The
following transfers of real estate were fil
ed for record in the office of AAA. Skin
ner, Register and Recorder of Franklin
county, during' the month of December:
Alexander Hamil ton to Jacob F. Oiler,
several lots of ground, in Waynesboro, for
$1,500.
Alexander Hamilton to Jacob F. Oiler,

Joseph F. Bolt to Susanna Heckman,

Oni• A CoLD.--Just so; it is only a
cold, and people are apt to speak and act
as if this were a trifling matter. Only a
cold means that one of the most import
ant functions of nature is suspended and
if she is not relieved, and speedily too, fe
ver, inflammation, or some other of the
certain piectirsors of death will devel.
op themselves. Never neglect the wain
ing that nature gives in that sensation of
chill, or as some call it a a dreeping all
over." The citadel is in danger and the
signal is thus sent to the out-works ; don't
neglect the warning.
Local Orrion.—The first election tin
der the Local Option act of last session of
the Legislature . leek place in Clearfield
county on the 29th of December. At the
muncipal and township elections held
there on that day a majority of upwards
of six hundred votes was cast against liq
uor licenses. This result in the strong
Democratic county of Clearfield, the Pitts
burg Despatch think., may be taken as a
fair indreation of *hat will be the decis
ion when the question shall come up next
March in the Several counties and cities
affected by the bill.
• DON'T TIE THEM—The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has de
cided that its 2tgents shall proeecute all
persons who 'bring chickens, ducks or tur
keys to market tied together as has been
the practice froth time out of memory by
our farmers. These agents exist in near
ly every town in the State, and are con
stantly on the watch for offenders. The
object of the Society is to prevent needless
cruelty to animals of all kinds, and its
members think that chickens when trans
ported with their legs tied together are
hurt beyond all necessity.

Dear "Backivoods Grumbler," an an
swer seems scarcely necessary to your
flatulent tergiversations, and yet a duty
devolves upon me as enjoined by the wise
man. See Flrov. 26: 5. Your school-boy
style of composition is indicative of fail
ure in out-growing the crude, illvdigested
ideas of childhood. You seem to be so
thoroughly impressed with the importance
of quotaticitisi that you have rummaged
f`The Book of Familiar Quotations" in
search of what you seem painfully desti
tute a—ideas. Your strong hold seems
to lie in quotations ; your weak one in
hitching them together, These fit into
their places with about the same appro
priateness and relavancy, as the Hard
shell 'Baptist text, "Ile shall flee to the
mountain of Hepsidain where the lion
roareth and the whang-doodle mourneth
for his first-born," into his immortal dis,
course, "the harp of a thousand strings."
Dear Ornmbler (or Grumble, if the
types choose to make yoti so).did you ever
reflect that a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link? Your quotations are beau
tiful ! sublime! ! exquisite! !! But the
links, man ! The links are miserably weak
and cannot bear the strain to which they
are submitted. Your attempt at "sar
casm" is about as success ula - ts MU - of - Eh - 4F
Argodantic leader to find the golden fleece.
"ding, dong, bell, pussy in the well, dm"
Sweet Grumbler, (or Grumble as you
like it) think you that the school bell will
ring the less clearly and sonorously, be
cause of the worthy names upon it? Are
t ey not wart y oifeTO Have not their
fellow-townsmen-so-declaredindidly,
Grumbleroloes not-We-trouble lie i not-so
much in the names, as itt the side to which
they belong? • Shbuld yob ever have the
courage to emerge film your backwoods
obscurity, you rimy discover that' blind
devotion to party, tin Willingness to attri
bute pure motives to an opponent; is evi
denee of a craven spirit only worthy of the
dark ages.
It is no fault of mine that your cogno
men is not to-day upon that bell. You
must lay the blame on the community
where you have been angered to bloom
unnoticed. It is vain for you to resist
the inevitable: A minister once net a
Dutchman who had just lost his wife by
death. "Was your wife resigned I" said
the sympathizing divine. "Resigned ?
Resigned ? Vy, mein Got, she had to be
resigned !" So you, clear Grilinbler, when
the sweet tones of that bell breaks the
stillness of the morning, will have to be
resigned.
As to the additional expense iticurred
by the inscription, be airy, my boy. 'Your
purse will never be made the lighter there
by, as the bell did not cost one farthing
extra by the addition, as the Messrs: Ful
tons will inform you. Your gratuitous
assault Upon the worthy men who direct
the educational affairs of their thrifty
town can do .them no harm. I pretume
your hefty contribution weighs about as
heavily upon them as did the gnat upon
the ox's hOrn.
One parting word, and I will leave you
to your owh reflections. promising not ,to
deign further reply to anything you may
say. Jingling quotations lave ceased to
be regarded as conclusive evidence of tal
ent. The pratings of a parrot are no mark
of intelligence. Pupny dogs bark fiercely
at the honestest of men, but are otherwise
harmless. Should your attack of bell on
the brain prove fatal, the muffled notes of
that school bell may yet be called .upon
to toll out yoUr requiem. Until then,
good bye, John.
