A Sew Skiff In tbe Canal.
"What can it be J" was excitedly asked by
persons who were crossing the canal bridge
early on Saturday evening, as a strange
looking object suddenly darted around the
curve in the canal aud came down toward
the bridge. Some one thought it was the
advance guard of the Canadian Bsherraon ii
their war upon the Yankees about the mack
erel question, and an angry flush crossed
his couutenance as he thought of how our
fishermen were being treated by the Cana
dian authorities. Others thought it was a
large bird, perhaps an albatross, which h td
wandered in its flight, away from the sea,
and bad alighted in the canal for some rea
son or other. As it came nearer il was
een to be a canoe, with a white object in it.
and that the boat was propelled rapidly hy
an Indian piddle in the hands ol the white
object occupying the canoe, and some ono
remarked, that it might be the ghost of
some Indian and his phantom canoe, who
bad met an untimely and cruel death iu one
of the manv wars with the early settlers in
tbe Juniata Valley, who had come back to
worry, with ghostly visitations, tbe descen
dants of those, who bad taken bis lite, but
as it came nearer, and when it shot under the
canal bridge, it was discovered that ail their
suppositions, aa to who, and what it was,
were wrong, and that it was one of our in
genious town boys, U. S. Grant Fink, who
tea for himself, a light can-
vats covered t kiff, fifteen feet in length
which, with lbs aid of an Indian paddle, he
was able to propell rapidly through the wa
ter. At ter tbe crowd, which had gathered
on the bridge to witness the active move
ments of the new and strange craft, had re
covered from the surpriso and pleasure oc
casioned by the knowledge that both the
strange craft and its ingenious owner were
part or the town, tbey were treated to oie
or the peculiar anctics of the new boat
which was amusing to the crowa as eu
refreshing to Mr. Fink. He was paddling
it slowlv a short dislance above the brh-'ge
when the boat gave a sudden side move
ment, and Mr. Fink interviewed the bottom
of tho canal vigorously, for a few seconds,
only.
Good For Teetblna;.
Samuel Yeigh, or Fermanagh township,
haa had a good deal of experience in the
every day affairs of life. He was in town
on Monday and told or having killed four
large rattle snakes ou Shade mountain north
of where Roaring Bun ciosses the Pike. He
was peeling bark for McCahen when he
came across the reptiles. A filth snake was
eenbut it saved itseir by glidine into i
hole in the ground. One of the bark tel
era had stepped over it and was so shocked
by the sudden sight or it, that before his
lighting courage returned the snake made
its escape. One or the snakes killed was
yuiiow ana baa 16 rattles, another was dark
in color and bad 15 rattles, a third had
raiues ana a fourth bad 6 rattles. A friend
asked Yeigh, "What did you do with the

Unbleached Muslin.
Ex-soldiers who attended the elimina
tion at the Soldiers' Orphana School at Mo
Alisterville last Friday, came home with a
peculiar reeling of humor for the ignorance
that Governor Pattisoi manifested while ha
was at McAlisferville for the people's every
J day way of living. They say that when the
Uoveroor and John Noma and suite wero at
the school they passed through the sleep
ing rooms. The Governor in pulling back
tbe cover of a bed, asked, "how long is it
since the sheets or thia bed have been wash
ed?" The Matron answered, "they were
washed and ironed two days ago." "They
are not clean, set) how yellow they are,"
said hia Excellency. Ob ! said the Matron,
"the sheets are made of unbleached mus
lin." "Unbleached muslin C exclaimed the
Governor, "why, I never heard or such a
thing. " The soldiers are still laughing and
wondering how in tbe world it has come that

TO BB BELb JTMB 8,
1886.
On Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, May 1,
18Cb, tbe jury before which William Josiah
McMoen bad been arraigned for trial, for
the murder of his wife, Nancy McMoen, by
a dose of strychnia, at their home in Port
Royal, JuuiaU county, oa tho morning of
Jlarctt a, IboO, rendered a verdict Of guilty
oi murder in tbe first degree.
Counsel for tbe prisoner at onco moved
for a new trial and the Court gave them
twenty days to file their reasons for asking
tor a new trial,
On the 17th day of May, 188, lawyers for
McMcen filed eight reasons for asking for a
new trial or which the following is a synop
sis:
First, That it was a mistake to admit, un
der objection, that part of McMeen's moth-er-iu-Iaw,
Mrs. Eliza Funk's, testimony, ln
which she proves that McMoen threatened
to leave hia family and child, and when ahe
to4d him that if he did, it would break: her
heart, be auswered that she the mother-
in-law would have something more than
that to break her heart before long. At most
the threat or prophesy involved tbe moth
er-in-law, and tho conclusion that it was a
threat or prophesy of disaster to bis wifo
was illogical aud unfair.
Second, That Judge Harnett was suffer
ing with a cold and bis voico was hoarse
and he was compiled to leave the Bunch
and stand in front of the jury and deliver
his charge. The result was to give a weird
and unnatural effect to the scene and lan
guage. That while the Judge thus stood in
front of tho jury, spectators within ten feet
of tbe jury asseuted by nodding to each oth
er to tbe stattnicut ot (he points on which
Commonwealth relied for conviction and
the movements of the spectators gave to
the jury the feeling of the outside public on
the case.
Third, Because of the Judge's cold and
hoarseness thuro was a sesming emphasis
in effect that the charge was against tha
accused.
Fourth, Because, of the almost universal
quiet, bet unmistakable beariug of specta
tors agaiust the prisoner, that he should be
executed aa murderer, whether there was
proof of his guilt or not.
Five, Because, while the proof showed
that McMoen mailed the poison to his wife,
she took it herself, in his absence, aal
there was nothing to show that he had any
understanding with ber that he was to send
her medicine and instead sent hor poison.
To convict the accused it must have been
found as a fact by the jury that such an un
derstanding bad existed between McMoen
and his wifo and that he deceived her, while
in fact it was proven, that tho poison enve
lope was found in the roo'n where the
spoons, knife and poison were found.
Sixth, Because, since the trial it has been
discovered that Mrs. Minnichen, while
searching tbe room whoro the spoons, knife
and poison were louu-1, gitnored up scraps
or paper and burned tbein, and that the poi
son envelope might have been burnt by her
for aught she knew. This fact she withheld
iu giving her testimony.
Seventh, Because, counsel for Common
wealth was allowed a recess in bis spaoch
at noon, and was accorded more time than
bsd Keen fixed or apre-d to sir! con formed
to by all the other couns.d.
Eighth, ISecanse, the bill of indictment
was not certified from tho Court of Quirter
Sessions to the Court or Oyer and Termi
ner. Ttur was in fact no Veniro issued to
call a grand jury in the Court of Oyer aud
Terminer.
After the above c:ght reisons were plac
ed on file, counsel for Mc Ueen again aked
Ju'ltre Barnett to extend the tinia for filing
additional reasons, beoviso, no account or
the record had been filed by the Court Re
porter, becau-so, s una of tho couns ?1 for the
prisoner bad been constantly employed and
were not able to assign all the reasons for a
new trial, because, no copy of tho reporter's
notes had yot been received, aal also an
other reason which iuvolved tbo co.upetou
cy of ono ot tbo jurors. Tha Julg extoui
ed tho timo for fi'ing of additional reasons
for a new trial to May 2S, ISjti, and notifiod
all counsel to be ready with their r.'sons
for argument court to be held oa tha 8th
day of Juno, 180.
