was in progress. Vaun waa knocked down
by a club in the hands of the brothers, and
while he lay on the ground, was shot at. A
bullet from a pistol knocked off a middle
finger at the hand joint, and an ngly bullet
wound was also made in his cheek, but the
bullet so struck his face that it glanced off
instead of entering his bead. Of course
the occurrence broke up the entertainment.

To the Tax-Payers of Juniata
County.
. In tha year 1865 few of the citizens of
Juniata county (for tha good of the tax
payers) petitioned the Legislature to pass a
law to enable the proper authority to' pur
chase a farm and erect suitable buildings
for the support and comfort of the poor of
our county. A farm was bought by the
persons appointed In the act for that pur
pose, and no better selection could have
been made for the purpose, the farm being
well located, with plenty of water, wood
and limestone, and having pretty good
buildings on the premises. But, unfortu
nately for the tax-payers, a ftw individuals,
who were disappointed by not selling tiexr
farms and having the control of the arrange
ments, turned tail to the project, and, after
some difficulty and other legislation, had
the whole thing set aside, and put the county
to an expense of three to five thousand dol
lars, which thk lax-payers bad to pay. Since
that time pauperism has been increasing
uutil it baa become a burden without a par
allel in the history f the county. We have
paid since then for the keeping and care of
the poor in this couhfy over One Hundred
and Forty Thomaud Do Hart, and the amount
yearly increases this year (1877-78) the
poor tax for the couuty amounting to the
enormous sum of $14,422, perhaps some
thing more or something less, but this is
the amount as nearly as I could get it from
the overseers and others in tne different
townships.
I will now give the amount of tax levied
ami the amount upon which assessments are
matte In the different townships snd bor
oughs tn the county. If sny township is
wronged, I hope to be corrected by the
Overseers of the township : j

If we do not gut a poor house for the
next ten years, and the number of poor
should increase as they have done during
the last ten years, we will have to pay poor
tax to the amount of $149,400. and more in
this county. Now suppose we take the one
halt of that sum, which will be but 5 years'
tax at the same rate, and buy a good farm
and put on it a good house to keep the poor,
do you think that we would not rave the
other half dnnne- the next five years t
which would be $72,700.00. I do not pro
pose that we buy a farm and build a costly
house for much less than the sum above
mentioned would be adequate for the pur
pose but I do say that for that sum we
could buy a farm, build a house amply large
enough, and keep our poor, and at the end
of five years, or perhaps three years, we j
would be done paying poor tsv.
I propose hereafter to show how other
counties save mom-y by having a place to ;
keep the tnr, and in another paper com-1
pare this county without a poor-house with (
other counties having poor-houses.

The SolinsgTove Timet says :
Detective Israel, of Sunbury, as
sisteil by policeman Riffle and con
stable Fanbean, of Milton, arrested
Joseph and D.iniel Shirks and James
McDaniel, on the charge of being
connected with the assault upon and
attempted robbery of Miss Sarah Jane
.Best, wno resides about two miles
south of Milton. It is said that this
arrest discloses the fact that a regu
lar gang of criminals, thoroughly
organized, has its branches in every
town along the river from Harris
burg to Lock Haven, and that nearly
all the robberies which have been so
frequent during the past year or two
are chargeable to this gang. It is to
be hoped it will now be broken np.
At the time the Snyder County
Bank settled its case with Captain
Meeker, the Bank obtained several
notes against said individuaL On one
of these notes Mr. Gaylord, of New
York city, mado himself responsible,
but to the present time has failed to
pay. Lately afl action was brought
against him at Ehniraj and last week
Col. Hilbish, J. V. Gaugler and
Miles Wetzel went np there to attend
court. But the case was continued
to May term. Gaugler and Wetzel
were wanted as witnesses to prove
Mr. Gaylord's signature, which they
learned to know pretty well through
bis railroad transactions in tins sec

The Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette says:
The Strohl family, of Northumber
land county, is probably the largest
family in the United btates. Ihe
head of the house is Nicholas Strohl,
a Pennsylvania German, now about
76 years old. By three wives he has
had 30 children, 27 of whom are
living. The first wife presented him
with 8, his second with 11, and the
third with 11. The youngest child
is now three rears old, and was born
when its lather was 73 years old. Of
the 27 children 19 are married, and
their families average about 8 chil
dren Mr. Joel Strohl, one of the
well-known farmers in the lower end,
and child of big first wife, hag 17
childrsh, and i hot an old man. Be
is the lather Cf two pairs of twin's, a
distinction which his father, Mr.
Nicholas Strohl, never attainecL If
the families should gather together,
there WdTtId be over 200 persons.
They nearly all reside in this county.
Old Mn Strohl is still hearty, and
bids fail to live man j years;
The Lewiatowa Gazttte of the 20th
iDst., safjs :
la the Senate, on the 12 til the bill to
give to soldier of the war of 1812 or
their widows a pension without regard
to Congressional lawn, Cattle up, wbeo
Mr. Crawford desired the following let
ter to be read :
Lkwistows, Jan. CI, 1878.
lion. D M. Crawford,
Daaa Si a I see by the papers that a bill
baa been offered in the Senatw giving to
erery soldier of the war of lsl'i a penaiou
of ninety-six dollars, without respect to
what pension such soldiers may be getting
from the National (ioverniiient. This is
just as it should I'e, and what the State
ought to have done years ago. A mety-six
dollars a year will n4 support a man at
eighty ye its of age, who haa no other in
come, and to the poor bouse he goes, to the
disgrace of the SUte.
There is at present no soldier of ttii war
of 1812 in this county but myself, and I am
now in the 86th year of my age. Three of
us died purpura here wiitiin the last six
years. I can do without any pension trom
the State, but 1 am anxidus that the very
few who ar living in other counties should
not die paupers.
I am indisposed to-day, and must stop.
You, my dear doctor, will understand what
1 expect you to do, and will, I hopu, secure
the passage of the bill, if possible.
Truly yours,
W. P. Elliott.
That fixed the thing, and the bill was
immediately parsed by a unanimous
vote.
