- Com. vs. John Tyler et al. Nuisance ; oc
casioned by floating loose logs. These prose
cutions were continued, as it was said a settle
ment had been effected between tlie parties in-
. tercsted in rafting and floating on the Simia
mahoning. , -
Com. vs. Abraham Byers et al. Xuisance ;
occasioned by floating loose logs on Clearfield
Greek'- The testimony ou the part of the
Commonwealth disclosed the facts, that at
Best's dam there was a gorge of logs on which
a man might safely cross the creek; at Wil
son's dam the logs were so thick that Mr. Mc
Kee took his horse CO rods on them three
times ; at Ringgold dam,Ogden'sIsland,Spruce
Island, the Grass' plat, Turner's Island, aud o
ther places, the logs gorged and rendered it
impossible to pass with lumber, and that sev
eral raits were injured and many detained by
the logs. Defendants convicted and sentenc
ed to pay the costs of prosecution and fines as
follows: Abraham Byers, 15; George W
Miller, $5 ; James F. Parsons, $1 ; J. Harris
Green, $15, and George Chandler, 5. M'
Cullough, Hale, Linn and Wallace, for Com
monwealth ; McEnally for defendants.
- Com. vs. John M. Chase, et al. Riot; the
principal facts elicited on the part of the Com
monwealth, are detailed in the testimony of
George Miller. I was engaged in cutting
out trees, &c, at Spruce Island, under Abra-
nam uycr. e had Zj cr ou nanus in our
company, 4 or 5 of whom were in the camp,
two of them sick. Our camp was a mile and
a half Ironi Turners rock.'- 5 or 6 hands start
ed "for camp about noon. About this time a
party of arrned men appeared on the opposite
aide of the creek and ordered us to lay down
our tools and leave ; said they would give us
five minutes. We paid no attention to them.
They fired in about a minute. I was shot in
the hand and my forehead grazed. - The arm
ed men then went up to our cabin. They took
one of our boats and crossed over. We also
went up. When we went tip wc found that
they had part of the roof taken off; waited
till the rest of our men came up. They or
dered us to stop at a small bridge; said they
would shoot the first man that crossed the
bridge. We parleyed a while. They agreed
if we would leave our cant dogs, tools, &c,
they would permit us to take our clothes and
go. We then went into camp one at a time.
They would not give us onr carpet bags until
they had searched them. After , we got our
clothes and stopped about 150 yards from the
cabin, we were again ordered off. The men I
knew were John. M." Chase, Joseph Fiscus,
Austin Kline, Jacob Wainright, Thontss Adams,-
Joseph Newman," Isaac McKee, "Jonas
Carson, Aodiew Roles, W. Shaw, -Barney Far
rand, James Gallagher,, William Cox, 'James
Fairman. They principally bad guns; Chase
and McKee had none ;' Chase seemed to be "the
commander; he gave orders. When they fir
ed it seemed io bo general ; all pointed. They
tore down the cabin piled the' provisions on
the beach," rolled tho pork in the creek, des
troyed ' our cant hooks and dogs, and cut up
our boats.; Saw Chase cutting at a boat." Kline,
Fiscus and others ordered ns to stop at bridge,
pointing guns, and Chase said the nest time
you come no mercy wiir bo shown no quar
ter.". McKee was not. with the party "at first. V
A Bomber of witnesses corroborating Miller
were also examined. . , . ;. t ; .. . .
Joseph Fisoixs and others' were'examined on
the part of the defence." Fiscus' testimony
was as follows : ' ..- -:-
W met together ILe day before and' agreed
toacare' the log floaters ofT, but cot to hurt
them unless in self defence." When we went
to'whcre they were ig told thorn- we wanted
them to go ,oflwT , Pointed our guns ; only .wan
ted to frighten them. Can't tell whether; the
party 'shot'to hit or not. The shooting was
at the-: Salmon bole;' Creek; CO or 70 yards,

Lectures ox EntrcATio.v-. Professor Allen,
of M'Kean county, who has been attending the
Normal School at Curwensville, for a week or
ten days past, delivered two lectures in tho
Court House in this place one on Thursday
night last, and one on Monday evening of this
week. Mr. Allen is a good lecturer, under
stands fully in all its details the subject to
which his attention is more especially direct
ed, and is well calculated to enlighten the nub
lie mind relative to the proper and best mode
of educating the rising generation. We trust
that his suggestion of establishing a exaded
school in our borough, will be acted upon by
our citizens.
Ai.lec ed Horse Thief CitGur. Some four
weeks ago a man hired a span of horses and a
buggy from a Mr. Williams, in Huntingdon,
and afterwards sold them in Bellefonte. The
fellow managed to elude apprehension ; but
on last Friday Mr. Ellis Livergood, of Goshen
township, got on the track of a fellow named
Baer, who was suspected of being the scamp,
caught him and lodged him in the jail at this'
place. In the beginning of this week, he was
taken to the jail in Bellefonte, where he will
be tried, a warrant for his arrest having been
issued there at the instance of Mr. Bible, to
whom the horses had been sold.
Missixc On last "Wednesday night the
mare of John L. Cuttle, Esq., of this borough,
disappeared from the pasture-field and has not
been heard of since. It is suspected that the
mare has been stolen.
Barn Burned. On last Thursday night, we
have been informed, the barn of Mr. George
Spangler, in the neighborhood of the steam
mill of the Clearfield Coal and Lumber Com
pany, in Beccaria township, was destroyed by
fire. It is suspected that the fire was the work
of an incendiary.
