The bone broken extended out through the flesh, and was a heart rendering sight to wit ness upon an old latly of her age - Her son, Ed was close at hand when the accident happened and carried her into the house and summoned Dr. Hill, who, with the as sistance of T. J. Keeler set and bandaged the limb. Mrs. Dunham suffered much pain the night of the| accident and on Wednesday follow ing, but at this date seems to be slowly on the mend. Mrs. D. is the oldest resident of LaPorte, she will be 79 years old on the Ist day of September next.

The important matter of tho ex ceptions filed by Bodine & Warn to the account of Mrs. Sarah S. Gower, adm'rx. of Geo. Gcwer, late of Sonestown, Pa., dee'd. and which had been referred to H. T. Downs, as auditor, has, we are informed, been amicably adjusted between the p irties interested. There has been several hearings before the auditor in this case, and the final one was lixed for Tuesday last; but owing to the amicable settlement between the ac countant and the exceptants, of which the auditor was notified by counsel for both parties on Monday last, there will be no further hearing- The terms of settlement we hear are, that the administratrix pay the ex ceptants the full amount of their claim ; that she pay the auditor's fees and court costs ; and that each party pay their own witness fees. Albert Hetzel of near Scranton, and who has been i eeling bark at Mehoopany for a few weeks, put up at Hotel Kennedy Tuesday night, and about 11:H0 p. in. rushed down; stairs partly dressed and exclaimed | tint some person or persons had robbed hiui of his money. F. W. Gallagher, burgess, and Chief of l'olice, F. M. Crossley and others, were present at the hotel when the fellow made his appearance. Mr. Kennedy requested Mr. Crossley to search the stranger which he did, finding $1.35 in Ins pantaloon pockets. Mr. Kennedy was not satisfied with this and requested the searching party togo to his room and examine the remainder of bis clothing, where the)- found sl4. hid away in his shoe, Hetzel was taken to jail on a charge of black mail. On Wednesday, he was dis- by the burgess after paying Stewart, Chase, keeper of the jail, SI.OO for services rendered. The stranger who had been drinking says ha has no rec ollection of the matter, while others are of the opinion that the attempt to carry the idea of robbery, was to compel Mr. Kennedy to pay to him the amount he claimed he had lost rather than let the public know of the charge in his hotel. "I am a Protectionist because I am an American,"says ex-Congress man 13. W. Perkins, of Kansas. "We should have Free-Trade among ourselves because we honor one flag and are citizens of a common coun try. But the man who builds no house here, who pays no taxes here, who employs no labor here, who does nothing to contribute, to our growth and to our prosperity; but who lives abroad beyond the oceans, whence he desires to bring his pro ducts, either farm or manufactured, into ttiis great American market in competition with ours—he should pay for the privilege ; and when he has paid for the privilege we will cover the money into the Treasury of the United States, and with it we will cancel our obligations and carry on the concerns of the govern ment. And 1 would do this in tbe name of patriotism and my country because I believe it right. 1 ' ONE DOLLAR is a hundred cents, and you have a right to expect that value for it.
