Cbas. Thorp of Celestia; while on
his way home from LaPorte, on
Saturday last found a large pocket
book containing in the neighbor
hood of 50. or $75. Charley con
cluded it belonged to a party of
Eagles Me re who had passed him on
his way and when the stage came
along bound for the 'Mere got on
board. On reaching the summer
resort he looked up the party and
presented it to the owner, Mr. JOHN"
COPE, who gave him a reward of
35 cents, the price of one stage fair
for his tune and trouble. Charley

BASE BALL :—The first of a series
of games of base ball between Bernice
and Eagles Mere, was played at the
latter place, on Saturday last. The
result was: EaglsMere 20 Bernice 14.
There were but seven innings played
when the 'Mere boys left the ground
to take the steam Loat down the
tide. The Bernice boys made ten
runs on the seventh inning and gai-e
tun '.Mere boys a goose egg. This
was perhaps the cause of their great
haste to make connections with the
last train down the lake. Had the
game been played out and the Ber
nice boys continued to knock
the cover off the ball as in the
7lh inning the 'Mere boys would
have been sadly left. They were
not slow to perceive this fact, and
home they went.
We understand that the 2nd game
between these clubs has been ar
ranged to take place at Beruice, on
the loth ol'August.
"It looks very much as if the Le
high Valley railroad is to be lawed
out of its proposed entrance into the
city," said a gentleman interested iu
railroad matters last evening. The
Lehigh Volley is one of the most
progressive railroads in the country
and its entrance into Williamsport
would mean increased prosperity
for the city. Should the present
litigation result in a defeat for the
Lehigh Valley this city would be
the loser to a serious extent. There
is no doubt but that Williamsport is
ready to welcome the Lehigh and
the people hope that the two lines
will come to an amicable settlement
of their differences. There is room
for three first-class railroads in this
city.— Williamsport Sun.

will be of the same size as Ihose
now in use. The two kinds will
have a vignette of (Jen. Grant in the
upper right hand corner. The
larger kind have the inscription
"One Cent PoUal Card" and he
smaller ,l Postal Card, Ono Cent."
Ex Representative Hoffaof Wasli
ingtonville Montour county, is a
candidate for Senator in the twenty
fourth district, composed of Ly
coming, Montour, Columbia and
Sullivan counties. Josh Lull of
Bernice is the only candidate ol
Sullivan so far as heard from, seek,
ing the nomination.
Warm Weather Wisdom.
The following hints as to warm
weather are thrown out by a city
exchange: "As long as the hot
weather i9 with us treat it as a friend
which it really is, if you will only
think of the good it accomplishes.
Don't worry about the weather take
it as it comes, and be thankful that
it is not worse. It will be cooler
before many moone, and then you
will he sighing for just this kind of
weather. Be temperate in your
food as Well as drink. Eat fresh
vegetables and fruit as much as you
deem proper, but see that they arc
not tainted. You may boil your
water before drinking, and do not
shock your stomach with great
draughts of ice-cold water. The
cooling effect of cold water is onlj
temporal'}', while its after effects
are often permanent. It is only a
matter of habit, and water of normal
temperature will quench the thirst
and will not injure the health.
"Attire yourself in light, airy
clothes, aiid avoid all superflous
clothing. Set style and fashion
aside, and regard comfort and health
only. Do not wear a white 6hirt
with starched bosom and cuffs dur
ing the heat of day. The ladies
should also avoid all superfluous
dress."
A FOUL DEED.
\ Womon Shot Down While Her
Child was at her Breast.
In a little log cabin on the Cumber
land County side of the North
Mountain, eight miles Northeast of
Mechanic*burg a terrible tragedy
was enacted Wednesday morning.
The principal actor now lies a
corpse in a common pine coflin and
his victim is at the point of death,
with a great gashing gunshot wound
in her left breast. In this lonly
cabin lived Jeremiah Miller, his wife
and nine children, the oldest 17
years of ago, the youngest a two
month 's-old infant. The family was
poor, and gained a livelihood by
chopping pine, which the wife and
elder children hauled about and sold
in the valley towns. Mrs. Miller is
a woman of fine form and rather
pretty, which made her husband
very jealous. Man and wife had
many quarrels on this score, and at
one time Miller vowed he would
shoot the whole family. Tuesday
Mrs. Miller was in the borough of
Catnp Hill with some pitch pine,
and on her return a Jerce quarrel
raged. Her husband renewed the
quarrel, blaming her for infidelity,
and making all manner of accusa
tions.
lii a fit of wildest frenzj- bo pick
ed up a double barrelled muzzle
loading gun and at a distance of
only a few yards discharged a heavy
load of buckshot into the left breast
of his wife, who at the time was
nursing her infant. Maddened by
bia terrible act, Miller rushed from
tho cabin to the front fence, which
he leaned against, and pointed the
muzzle of the gun to his stomach.
By the aid of a twig he sent the re
maining load of shot into his stom
ach and died instantly.
The tragedy was witnessed by the
nine children, who scattered to
spread the new 3 of the father's awful
deed. Though the shooting oc
curred at 9 o'clock no one appeared
until noon. Undertaker Staffer, of
Camp Hill, and Constable Burns,
upon arriving, met a sight which
sickened them.—Er.
