The Dushore Review tells how two maiden
ladies of Elkland, township, that county,
Sarah and Hanka Grange, were left at the
time of theirfather's death, some twenty
years ago,- in eobssession of a farm 'of one
hundred acres, partially cleared. Ever
since then the property has been under
their management. They have cleared the
remainder, of the land, have built sheds and
oUtbuildihgs, have puichased and paid for
fifty acres of woodland adjoining, have so
managed that their farm is in a first
clan state of cultivation, and at this time
have a, snug sum of money at interest. In
addition they have cared for their aged
mother• who is now 95 years of age and
very feeble. These ladies are certainly en-
titled to much credit for their exhibition of
good judgment and care.
Still another one. A son of Mr. Stirling
of Smithboro, tiged twelve years, while at
tempting to jump upon a passing railroad
train at that phtce on 'one day last Week,
fell between the cars and was horribly
crushed. Both legs. Were mangled and the
flesh torn from his back. Still another.;

A correspondent of the Troy Register,
writing under date of the 29th of July,
says: "Last night, • Smithfield was again
visited by burglars. The office in; the back
'pat of the store of W. E. Voorhis; was en

tearing off the casing and taking out the
sash. By some means they managed to
close the door betvieen the offiea and the
store, shutting the large witch dog into the
store, when they were at ease in the office,
where they found the safe r the object of
their visit. , This morning it was found
that a small hole had been drilled at the
left of the handle of the lock; and , by use of
punch and hamm'er, the lock was broken,
the safe opened and about $375 belonging
to the Odd Fellows, "which was left there

The Towanda correspondent of the Tnnk

lows: "The extensive and noble' building
of Humphrey Brothers & Tracy, on South
Main street, is about to receive the roof,
the walls of the fourth story being about

A despatch , from Athens, dated August
lst, says: •"Tip", Curtner, constable, of
Litchfield township, was in town last even
ing, and wishing to attend to some busi
ness, tied his horse to a post, near the
Central house. Ho was gone but a minute,
and upon returning saw his horse going up
Bridge street toward honie: Supposing he
had in some way got loose he gave chaser
when he noticed a man in the wagon, who
turned the horse up River street, driving
through the brickyard. Canner then se
cured the services of Constable Charles
Fitzgerald and Josh Turk, whotave chase.
They followed him by the wheel tracks
through Sayre, East Waverly, up Sheparirs
creek, over Talmage hill, comint in sight
of him at the top of a long hill near Hector
church. • When he saw them coming ho
gave the horse the rein and sent', him at a
lively rate down the hill, the Officers in
:lose pursuit. This was kept up fora mile,
till they reached the foot of another hill,
when he jumped from the wagon, gave the
horse a stroke with the whip, and then rim
through the wider-brush, and was lost to

brought to this place. During the chase
several shots were fired at the thief, none
taking effect, however. , ,The man's name

Ex-Sheriff, J. Monroe Smith, died at his
residence near Troy, on Sunday morning
last at about ten O'clock. He lad been in
failing health for several years past, and
had been confined to his house for several
months. His ailment Was a disease of the
stomach which baffled the skill of the best
physicians . of the country.l. The deceas
ed has been for years one 'of the most pro
minent men, both in business; and politics,
in Northern Pennsylvania. A correspon
dent, writing from his home, truthfully
says of him, that "as a politician he had no
peer in the northeastern part of the State
and has been a recognized leader of the re
publican party of Bradford county for many
years. Among his intimate acquaintances
were such noted men as Simon Cameron, •
the present Senator Caffieron and others of
wider reputation.: He served two terms
as sheriff of Bradford county, being elected
in 1863 and re,elected in 1872. Since he
left the sheriff's office in 1875 he has resid
ed on his'beautifui farm near Troy, and his
home has always been frequented by noted
and infi l ential men.", The same cOrres
pondent eyes the fqllowing particulars of
his last illness: "He was taken ill L early
last spring and went to Philadelphia to con
sult Dr. Dacosta but nothing definite could
be learned of the nature of the diqPnge with
which slowly but surely his life ebbed away.
During his illness here he has been attended
by Dr. Ely Tracy, Dr. Flood and Dr. Wey,

TILT EXC URSION.
Business engagements preventing our en
joying the excursion to Glen 'Onoko, on
Wednesday last, we clip the following brief
account of the same from the Elmira Ad
vertiseri "Shortly' after 5 o'clock yester
day morning, Elmira's Lehigh Valley 'rail
road excursionists who went to Glen Onoko
and Mauch Chunk the day previous, re
turned !to this city, delighted with their
trip through one of !ths most beautiful val
leys in the world. When they left the
Queen City at 5 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, there were two or three coach loads of
them. , , But the train was a long ono,' well
and comfortably filled, before it had pre :
deeded far down the valleys of the various='
water-ways this side of the - Lehigh. There
wore about,soo excnrsionists in all. They
occupied some of the neatest new-pattern
eoaches of the elegant Lehigh line, and
were entertained by the combined Tioga
and Sayre bands, in a large ',open - car just
suited to the purpose. Then beside there
was a refreshment car, well provided with
not only sandwitChes, pie, etc.; but all the
nicest temperance beverages. .In fact,
there was - every convenience and comfort
that could have been, lirovided by the ex
perienced* excursion manager, W. H. !fiat
ner, of Wyalusing, assisted by James Lehr,
of Easton. AVlien the train left Elmira
V ie rain was falling a little; but before
beautiful Glen Onoko was reached the,
clouds had-cleared away and the sun was
shining with a genial warmth
,of welcome.
Many of the party !remained at the glen,
where dancing:and refreshments were- in
order; but many others went on to Mauch
Chunk, and thence via Switch-back rail
'road up and around Mounts Pisgah and
Jefferson, It was a beautiful trip, , and
each gap in the mountain-side or . opening
through the forests that hedge the railroad,
seemed replete with' ew surprises in grand
and lovely scenery. The old mining town
on Summit Hill was more enjoyed - as 'a relic
than otherwise—and so too with the still
burning coal mine near it. In this quaint
summit village the excursion band' sere
naded the people, as they had done all
along the route, and were hospitably treat
ed in return. At last "all aboard", was
again sounded, and the tourists of a day
sped away down around the inclined , rail
road, with no iron horse or other means o
locomotion than the urMrringand invariable
law of gravity, held in check by an all
important Switch-back brakeman. Din
ner and !upper at lovely Mauch Chunk and
the followed each other only too
quickly, and -the excursionists were soon
enroute for home. They reached their

time, as above intimated, and all high in

KILLED BY THE CABS.
Jesse A. Wilson, of Wyalusing, formerly
of ithis place, was killed by the car at El
mira'on Friday last.. The AdveiOser of
Saturday, gives the following particulars
of the sad affair: •
"Yesterday about noon, another of those
sad accidents occurred which have on so
many occasions hrought - grief .and t woe to
relatives of unfcirtanate victims, whereby a
highly esteemed gentleman was witlunit a
moment's ; warning; literally hurled into
eternity. It seems that Jesse -.Wilson, a
fireman on the Lehigh Valley railroad, a
resident of Wyalusing, came to. Elmira
yesterday morning from Wyalusing, to take
charge of an engine; to the engineership of
Which he' had been promoted. The engine
in questien-waist,anding on the track in
the vicinity the blast furnace, and on his
- arrival in' thg citY, not wishing to walk so
great a distaace r hejumped idxsudimother
engine which was hound west. When the
train, on Which he was a passenger', arrived
at a short distance from the blast furnace,
Mr. Wilson attempted to leap from it to r the
ground. But, sad to relate, he did not see
another train coining from the opposite
direction, but jumped into its very track.
•In : an instant the unfortunate man, was
struck by the on-coming engine, and hurled
froin it a corpse. No blame can be attached
to any railroad official for the fatal acci
dent; but death can only be attributed to
one of those mysterious mishaps from which
no one seems. entirely exempt. The train
which struck . Mr. Wilson was Eiie number
eighteen, and at the ,height of speed with
which it was approaching the city, it, was
impossible to stop in time to save the man's
life. The body was tenderly conveyed by a
number of friends to the city hospital and
this evening an inquest over the remains
will be held by 6noner Moroney. On ex
amination it was found that the unfortu
[ nate victim's neck and right arm were bro
ken, and cosequently death stinst have
:
been iustantaneous .. There was also visi
ble a large gash upon the left side of the
head and also a wound upon the chest.
The deceased was about forty years of age
and his steden demise deeply regretted by
a large circle of relatives and friends, in
whose esteem he held a highly enviable
position: The following testimonial as to
how the' sad news was received at Mr:
,Wilson's licane•and the deep grief caused
there by the announcement of death, has
been received from the Advertiser's - cor
respondent at Wyalusing:
"Our town is in deep grief over the sad
announcement- of the death of a worthy
citi zen—Jesie Wilson—which occurred at
Elmira to-day, an account of which doubt
less appears in this issue. , Mr. Wilson be
ing fireman on the local, running from this
place to Elmira, moved here from Towanda
some two years ago and at once won the es
teem and respect of our citizens. He was
seen but little in our midst, his duties cal
ling him away the greater portion of the
time. But we saw enough to learn that he
was a man of worth and' principle, kind
hearted- and genial."
"It id said he had received promotion
this morning, having just taken charge of
en engine. News having been received
~ Agent, Kintner,
_accompanied by his
wife, Julia Lehr and Miss Elinor Welles,
visited the bereaved household and broke
the - sad news to the stricken family, which
consists of the wife, a son and 'a daughter.
Mrs. Wilson, completely overcome, would
not believe the rep s ort. It is a singular
coincidence that she has lost two !hustilinds,
both having been killed on the railroad.
The heart-felt sympathy of the entire com
munity is tendered to the twice bereaved
wife and the orphan children."
The deceased learned ilOo printing busi
ness about twenty-five 3,.irs :,ago, in the
Demociyit office, at LS - Porte, Sullivan
county, and came from there, to Towanda,
where', he resided;for missy years. He
worked at his trade here :I;:xne little time,
but Pinks= to his entering' the service of
the Rianned Company, for a number of
years ho was engaged with his father in

wagon contained, took a peep in, and there,
beside the inevitable "bait

enormous lunch basket, a croquet set and 'a
large rope, which showed very plainly that-,

from Lovelton. Then their party seemed
complete. Games were soon started and
then dinner:, ' and such - a one. - How we
longed to be one of the number that we
might appease our then ravenous appetite.
It was noticed plainly that Leslie took
the cake" while Rollie simply "yanked the
ham" and some of the girls were heard to
mutter, "oh these pickles are utterly utter."
After lunch a swing was erected and,every
thing seemed to go on so smoothly that two
had just begin to think that this.was to be
the one picnic on record without any • ac
cident, when suddenly down went the
swing, which contained Misses Mary Lung
and Winnie Stone. -Miss .Mary escaped
without injury except a slight scratch upon
the wrist, but Miss Winnie fell' heavily" to
the ground. It is suppOsed that she fainted
before the swing gave way. It . vas some
tithe before she recovered. -- -When she did
it was found that, with the exception of
several braises aid a mar on the face, she
was unhurt. We trust that after a pail of
water had been thrown inher face, those
who had before remarked, "she is painted,"
were convinced that-her rosy cheeks were
the.handiworkof nature. • .
Upon opening the bait box it was
discovUred that the bait had gone off on a
flegitti'excnisicm of their own, lor but one
"angler" remained, and he looked terribly
lonely, or so thought Lois : and Perry, and
after a long consultation as to what wasp
best to do with him, they put him on a fish
hook, then boarded the snow , white boat
"Don Cameron" with the full intention of
rebind* three pound bass. But
after floating around - the Susquehanna for
half an hour thcy emits back with the'infor
mation that A. , 13. Porter who had been
fishing there all day, had caught all the fish.
After that they sorrowfully, put their poles
back in-the wagon convinced that there was
"no use of trying." We have heard that
J. S. 'is going to make the attempt:to catch
the owner of that foot print. With a wish
that all other fishing, parties may have as
enjoyable a time as this one - did,,,we remain
as ever AN OBSERVER
