The owner can have the same by calling at tills otllce and payfng for this notice. Continued from first pa;;e. Smclker was sleeping was a seething mass of flames in which the old gentle man perished. The daughter Mrs. Snyder was frantic, and it required all the strength of her husband and others to keep her from rushing into the il allies to try to rescue her father. "Uncle Lewis," tho subject of this sketch was then a lad of six years and vividly remembered to his dying day the scene the next morning when the charred remains of his grandfather were taken from the smoking debris. While Henry Snyder was at Spring Mills, another most distressing ac cident occurred. A contract was made with a neighboring painter to paint the mill. One evening after the miller had shut down, and gone out to attend to some work the painter thought lie would arrange his ladder for the next du's work. To one end of tho ladder he attached the end of a rope, drew the ladder up the side of the mill a few feet, and then carried the rope up and in through an upper window, fastening the other end to a post on the upper floor. Next morning after breakfast the miller and painter walked out to the mill, chatting along the miller to lie gin his grinding and the painter to re sume his painting. They parted com pany at the door of the mill, the paint er going around to tho side of the building, getting his buckets and brushes, and climbing up to the top of his ladder. The miller went into the mill and drew the gate, starting tho machinery. The post around which the painter hud fastened his rope the evening be fore, proved to be an upright shaft, 'which began to turn when the machin ery was put in motion; and, as it re volved, it wound up the rope, drawing the ladder and painter farther and farther from the ground. Seeing his perilous situation the painter called most excitedly to the miller to stop the machinery, but the noise was too great, and it was but a few moments until the ladder was drawn to the window many feet from the ground. It was impossible, of course, for the ladder to be drawn into the mill through the window and tho painter grasped the window sill with an almost superhuman energy; but a crash, the ladder was broken, and lad der, painter, brushes, and paint all fell in one confused heap' to the solid eurth below, the painter expiring al most instantly. Grandmother, Kve Snyder died the death of a christian in her 00th year, in Germany Valley, Huntingdon coun ty, Pa., and her husband, Henry Sny der, at Manor Hill, same county, September tl, 1851, in his With year.
