The victim of Jackson's fiendish pur-

about midnight Thursday, while there
was a sleighing party at the hotel. Mr.

the colored porter at the hotel, was
supposed to be busy upstairs. A com-

BY M. P. LICHTY, ZION, N. D.
Error Star: —Allow me space to re-
late an incident of the chivalrous days
of the early Sixties, when many false
alarms of “rebels coming” caused not a
few laughable and provoking scares
along old Mason’s and Dixon’s line,
making the farmers and villagers hus-
ile to hide away their pelf, provisions,
household goods and livestock, espec-
ially horses. The old mines, spruce
hollows and laurel thickets afforded
no mean hiding places. But I will not
go into any details, leaving other “Old
Timers” relate them over.
During the spring and summer of
tbat memorable and eventful year, A.
D. 1863, when the editor of THe Star
was but in his embryonic form of ex-
istence, I had my home with his par-
ents in the well known Cove country.
near Accident, Maryland, on the old
Frantz place then owned by uncle
Emanuel Gnagey.
It was during sheep-shearing time
;hat news reached our ears one eve-
ning that some rebel raiders had in-
vaded Accident and were after plunder.
So, early the next morning the editor’s
father and I saddled two horses, old
brown “Bet” anl a little roan pacer,
and started for Accident to learn of the
correctness of the alarming report.
We had proceeded but a mile or so
when we met old uncle John Frantz,
excited and angry as a bear, because,
as he said, “two d—nd rebel soldiers
are in town and had all the people cow-
ed and scared nearly to death, that
they already captured 15 of the best
horses in the community, and are help-
ing themselves to the merchants’ goods
in great shape, and that they have
threatened to come out into the Cove
to plunder that evening yet.” “And
now,” said he, “1 want to muster a
squad of men to help me capture the
two scoundrels before they get out of
the country with their boodle.”
“All right,” said 8. J., “We'll go on
and get our mail and do a little shop-
ping, then come right back, if we don’t
get captured or lose our horses.”
When we got to Accident we left our
horses at Mr. Menhorn’s smithshop,
and then went over to Boyer Brothers’
store. Sure enough, here were two
bold looking men in rebel uniform, and
apparently armed to their teeth, keep-
ing the Boyers busy tying up bundles
of goods, of the best they had. We
learned that they had just come out of
old uncle Dick Fairall’s store, where
they made him contribute most liber-
ally to the cause he was so deeply in
sympathy with. Boyers’ clerk. poor old
“Sammy” Keller, with trembling voice
and limbs, and tearful eyes, beckoned
us into the wareroom and told us to
take all the goods we could lug home,
at our own price and time to pay, “for,
you see, these fellows are just more
than ruining us.”
Just then one of the Johnnies step-
ped out and walked over towards our
horses, but we were right after his
heels, and without any questions being
asked or answered, we hurriedly un-
tied our steeds,and in a trice were gal-
loping towards home.
On our arrival home we found that
old Grandpa Bittner, from near Grants-
ville, had stopped for dinner. He was
around gathering up the wool in that
neighborhood to take down to his son’s
fulling mill. When he found out what
project we had in view he volunteered
to become our fugleman and act as
our eaptain, as he had been a soldier in
the old country and knew somewhat
yet of military tactics by past exper-
ience.
By evening time we had made up a
company of ten men, armed with rifles,
shotguns and a few old single-barreled
pistols. The squad was composed of
Grandpa Bittuer, captain; John IHet-
rick and Joseph Kaupp, two union sol-
diers home on furlough, lieutenants;
the rest of us, namely; John Frantz,
Austin Speicher, 8. J. Livengood, Abram |
Miller, Ed. Margroff, Ilenry Kaupp and’
myself were all coporals and privateers.
S.J. and I being both lame, we styled
ourselves as belonging to the invalid
corps, considering ourselves the more
useful, as we couldn’t run, but would
have to stand our grounds and fight.
The men all gathered at our place,
and after partaking of a bountiful sup-
per, Captain Eittner formed us into
line, and a with lusty whistling of Yan-
kee Doodle we marched down the lane,
feeling as brave as any band of patriots
that had ever mustered before us.
Down in Bear Creek hollow, just
across the bridge, on the right hand
side of the road, under a clump of
spruce trees, with the tall laurel in the
background, there we took our stand
to guard the road and capture the
raiders, should they happen along. As
it had been cloudy and raining more or
less all day, the mist and fog settled
down upon us so thick that the dark-
ness became almost impenetrable to
our sight.
Our captain had us divided into two
groups, with implicit orders to fire at
his command, four to take aim at the
big fellow, and five to aim for the
smaller one, as he was harder to hit
than a big mark. Thus in silence we
were awaiting the on coming foe.
Nothing, however, could be detected
by our strained ears for some time,
save the drizzle of rain, the rustle of
winds, the noise of the gurgling creek
and the roar of Engle’s mill dam. But
finally the faint footfalls of a benight-
ed footman were heard approaching
from the side towards Accident, and as
he came tramping along nearer, all
unconscious of such a dangerous am-
buscade, we made out to have some
fun. So, at the signal moment we all
roared out in stentorian tones, “Halt!
Who comes there, friend or foe?” An
unwary, unsuspecting seven-pronged
buck could not have been more sud-
denly and shockingly surprised.
mein Gott! Mein Gott! Shoot me not!
Shoot me not! for I am only pcor John
Deitrich.”
Well, we had a good hearty laugh,
and soon learned of Mr. Deitrich that
“Och,
the rebels had left town to join their
regiment, lying a few miles south of
town, as they made the villagers be-
lieve. But to be better convinced, we
stealthily marched on to where the
main road forked close to town. Here
we dispatched Hetrick and Kaupp to
reconnoiter the town and to find out
more definitely of their real where-
abouts. Our spies soon returned with
the information that the supposition
was that the two villains had gone out
to stay over night at old Captain West’s
place, with all of their plunder. By
this time the rain was pouring down in
torrents, so that we were drenched to
our skins, and found it difficult to keep
our locks and powder dry. We hur-
riedly agreed to abandon pursuit until |
the next day.
Early the next morning we hastened
to Accident, and soon learned that an-
other party was after them. The Glot-
felty boys, of the Glades, and their
neighbors routed them early at the
West farm, giving them a hot chase
and a close shave for their lives.
It seems the old captain had played
a trick on his obnoxious guests, by hid-
ing their clothing and their accouter-
ments away in
the door, so that they had to flee minus
these essentials. Each of the two had
barely time to get a horse out of the
stable before the boys were right on to
them, but each of the rebels rode away
at full speed, cutting their bundles
loose as they went, the boys firing at
them, but without effect.
But the boys were in close pursuit,
and soon one of the rebels, lagging be-
hind, abandoned his horse and disap-
peared in the woods. The other, hav-
ing old Mr. Specht’s fast horse, soon
out-distanced the boys. and when he
found that he had gained sufliciently
on them, as he happened to come past
old Mr. Mcllenry’s place he compelled
an old negro to give him his best suit
of clothes, hat and gun. Then, mean-
dering all day ahead of the boys, he
pulled up for the night at the old stone
tavern on the pike. His pursuers
thought it expedient to stop with some
farmer a few miles on the other side
until early the next morning, thinking
they could capture their game more
readily.
But he was onto their job, and before
they arrived, he had already departed
in the direction of Salisbury. They
were successful in eipiing their man
that forenoon in P. 8. Hay’s store. Ile
was hand-cuffed and taken to Grants-
ville, and from thence sent to Cumber-
land and lodged in jail. But subse-
quently a band of rebel raiders broke
into the city, looting it, and breaking
open the prison, made his escape. We
afterwards learned that these two chaps
were deserters from the 54th Pa. Vol-
unteers, but whether they were ever
captured and courtmartialed, I don’t
know.
Well, the boys felt none the worse
over the excitement and fun. All
would no doubt have felt better if the
fellows could have had their just pun-
ishment, but the farmers were all too
glad to get their horses back again, and
the merchants, too, at having most of
their goods returned. So, on the whole,
it was something to think of and to
talk about for some time afterwards.
No doubt we felt as highly elated
over our short period of soldier life
and experience as did many of the boys
in Company Q, of Bucktail rifle re-
nown, 6 mos. Pa. Vols, doing home
guard duty around Harrisburg and
Chambersburg.
I hall not soon forget that night’s
experience. On our return home,when
we got to the Bear Creek hills, we dis-
charged our guns. There was a mighty
roar and thunder down through the
glen. Soon every house in the neigh-
borhood had a light shining, all won-
dering what would happen next.
I have now narrated this incident as
well as I could recall the facts, endeav-
oring not to exaggerate nor to prevari-
cate. However, this article stands
apen for eriticism or further elucida-
tion. But such was life at times in
those days—

WARM FIGHT AT WINDBER.
Candidates Representing the Coal
Company Were Snowed Under.
One of the warmest contests in West-
ern Pennsylvania during the recent
elections was that at Windber, where
war was waged between persons repre-
senting the interests of the Berwind-
White Coal Company, which establish-
ed the town, and those opposing them.
The latter, whose candidates were on
the Republican ticket, were successful
by handsome majorities, the Citizens’
ticket, alleged to have been named at
tle behest of the Coal Company, being
snowed under, with the exception of
Inspector. The Democrats had in-
dorsed the Citizens’ ticket, and there
was a Prohibition ticket in the field,
but the regular Republican candidates
had a complete sweep.
Wholesale Slaughter of Dogs.
Since the passing of the Dog ordi-
nance, last week, officer Krausse and
several assistants have killed enough
unmuzzled dogs to start a Bologna fac-
tory. But they didn’t kill all the dogs
they shot at, and their marksmanship
has been causing much merriment.
The Dog ordinance is a good ordi-
nance, but it could be improved. It
ought to provide that all pug dogs
should be killed on general principles,
whether muzzled or not, also that ma-
chine guns be furnished to the dog
slayers, so that they couldn’t miss dogs
when shooting at them over two yards
away.

Hot Times in the 0ld Town—Arrests
for Disturbing the Peace.
This has been a pretty lively week in
local courts of our town. The
Squire Lowry’s court on Sunday after-
noon, when David Neilson, a Coal Run
boarding house keeper, appeared be-
and swore out warrants
for the arrest of Harry Hershenberger,
Geo. Mitchell and Andrew
three of his boarders.
Mr. Neilson alleged that the three
boarders mentioned had attacked him
in a vicious manner, badly beating him,
and also throwing hot water on his
wife. 1t was apparent to Mr. Lowry
that there was truth in Mr. Neilson’s
statement, for the plaintiff showed
many marks of rough usage, and the
warrants were promptly issued and
served.
When the defendants arrived in
charge of the Constable, they were giv-
en a hearing, and upon the advice of
the Justice they agreed to settle the
affair without going to Judge ILonge-
necker’s court. The boarders, we are
informed, also bore some marks of
rough usage, and it was quite evident
that the affair was not all one-sided.
Whiskey is supposed to have been the
chief cause of all the trouble.
Burgess Livengood’s court opened
the next day, as did also the borough
“cooler,” when Rafiel Bluebaugh, Har-
ry Deenan, John Lowry and Dr. A. M.
Lichty’s colored driver were locked up
for disorderly conduct on the streets.
Bluebaugh appears to have been the
cause of all the trouble, and had it not
been for him we hardly think any of
the other fellows would have gotten |
into any trouble. Considerable sym- |
pathy was expressed for young Lowery,
who is naturally a very kind-hearted,
peaceable young man, but like many
otherwise good people, “Johnnie”
clined to take on a little too
“tea” at intervals, and that will
ionally get him into trouble.
Complaint was made to the Burgess
by Dr. A. F. Speicher and L. C.
but Officer Krausse was at

progress, so
volunteered to
act as a special policeman, was sworn
into service and promptly arrested the
four men already mentioned.
When the prisoners were sober
enough, the Burgess gave them a hear-
ing, which resulted in a fine of $5.00
and costs for Bluebaugh, and $1,00 and
costs for the other three men.
The same evening Officer Krausse
arrested W. N. Lenhart for disorderly
conduet, and on Tuesday he was ar-
raigned before Burgess Livengood and
fined $3.00 and costs.
Our borough “dads” talking
of passing a special ordinance to em-
power the Burgess to make his maxi-
mum fines $25.00 instead of $5.00. If
this proposed ordinance is passed, and
it very likely will be, it will undoubt-
edly decrease the rowdyism on our
streets to a great extent.

STOP PULPIT ADVERTISING.
The Reading: of Secular Notiees in
Church is Jarring to Worshipers.
“The reading of secular notices from
the pulpit is a jar to the service ; is ex-
3
ceedingly objectionable to a large num-
ber of people.” writes Edward Bok, in
the March Ladies’ Home Journal
“These folk rightly feel that secular
matters should be kept as far removed
from the Sabbath services as possible.
And they are perfectly justified in tak-
ing that position. It isa bit disturb-
ing when a minister announces that
a fair will be Leld on such or such
a day, or that a strawberry festi-
val has been arranged for a certain
evening. All our churches cannot
abolish pulpit announcements too soon;
many of them have done so already.
They have never had a place there;
they are not in keeping with the digni-
ty of the pulpit. Of course, where a
chureh is absolutely too limited in its
finances to have the most modest sort
of a leaflet printed there is some rea-
son for the continuance of the method.
But whenever it is possible the pastors
of our churches should be allowed to
adopt the circular plan. The minister
should not be turned into an advertis-
ing medium under any pretext what-
ever. Nor should the pulpit be drag-
ged from its highest place and its lofty
purpose. It is not a bulletin-board.”
On Monday evening a large number
of the members of the Brethren church
and their friends drove to Meyersdale,
where they were the guests of Mrs. U.
M. Beachly and family. They were
met there by a large number of the
Meyersdale members and their friends,
and a most delightful evening was
spect together. Refreshments of all
kinds were served for the benefit of
the church, and all agrec that there is
no better place in Somerset county to
attend a social event of this kind than
at the Beachly mansion. On account |
of the searcity of the snow, the Salis-
bury party had to get out of their con-
veyances at intervals and walk. The
return trip was made via Greenville, in
the hope of finding better sledding,
but in this there was some disappoint-
ment, as the roads were in no better
condition, while genial John Morton,
one of the drivers, got lost and had
much difficulty in fiading the way back
to Salisbury with his big sledload of
fair ladies, But it may be that John
just wanted to prolong the trip, and
“as the feller says, says he,” “maybe he
he knew where he was at” all the time.
It was a long, ditlicult journey, but it
reatly enjoyed nevertheless, es-
by our Sicnd Morton, who is
one of the funniest men funny that
| ever came down the pike.
Bedford County Judgeship.
The term of Judge Longenecker as
Judge of the Courts of Somerset and
Bedford counties expires next January.
From the Everett Republican we learn
that Judge Longenecker, J. H. Jordan,
E. M. Pennell, Republicans, and F. E.
Colvin, Democrat, are spoken of as can-
didates for the succession, although
Mr. Longenecker is the only one that
has announced himself, he having done
so by letters sent out last week. The
Crawford county system prevails in
both parties in Bedford, and the Re-
publicans hold their primaries in June.
To an outsider it looks as though the
candidates were greatly handicapped
in not knowing whether Bedford will
be a separate Judicial district or re-
main as it now is with Somerset. But
it will probably be known where “they
are at” before adjournment of the Leg-
islature, about May I1st.—Johnstown

Danger of Colds and 1a Grippe.
The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used,how-
ever, and Chamberlain’s Cough Reme-
dy taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy for these diseases we
have yet to learn of a single case hav-
ing resulted in pneumonia, which shoy
conclusively that it is a certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous malady. It
will cure a cold or an attack of la
grippe in less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by Miller & Shaler.
Addison News—Great Rivalry Be-
tween Saloon and Anti-Sa-
loon Men.
Feb. 25th.—Court of Half Sessions
was recently held here, there being a
remonstrance filed against Mr. Ed.
Nicklow, one of our applicants for lig-
uor license. Mr. Nicklow held court
at the oftice of Charles Rishabarger,
Esq. last Saturday, to prove that he is
a man of temperate habits, and that he
has been running a good hotel. The
afternoon session adjourned to con-
vene at 7p. m., but for a certain rea-
son Mr. Nicklow could not attend to
business in the evening, so the night
session was not held. Mr. Nicklow, I
think, had forty or fifty witnesses on
his side, Mr. J. C. Lowry, of Somerset,
being his attorney.
Today Court of Whole Sessions is be-
ing held at Listonburg, where the op-
position to Mr. Nicklow is being heard
before Charles McMillen, Esq. An ef-
fort is being made by the temperance
people to prove that Mr. Nicklow is not
a fit and proper person to dispense in-
toxicating liquors. Elder Jacobsis the
acting attorney for the remonstrators.
We think it would have been much
better for Mr. Nicklow to not go into
the court business, for by so doing he
only stirred up the blood of the tem-
perance people and induced them to
work all the harder against him. In
behalf of Mr. Nicklow I will say that
he is a very accommodating man, but
there are very good a2asons for oppos-
ing the granting of a liquor license to
him, and the citizens cannot be cen-
sured for it.
Mr. Alfred Mitchell, our surveyor,
who has also been our township clerk
for a good many years, is very sick at
present. W e all hope for his recovery.

Court convened at 10 a.m., yesterday,
with Judge Longenecker and Associ-
ates Black and Dickey on the bench,
and the wheels of Quarter Sessions
Court were put in motion. Constables’
r. turns were received and a few other
minor matters disposed of by noon.
After the noon hour several cases were
brought in from the Grand Jury, and
business began in earnest.
Some real estate has passed hands
during the last week at fair prices,
with others being negotiated for. All
having properties for sale can sell, and
at remunerative figures.
Some mineral lands have changed
hands during the week, but there seems
to be a lull just now, owing to the fact
that purchasers prospecting in new
sections wish to be convinced that the
coal is there in such quantities as will
justify investment.
There is some talk of a new railroad
from Ligonier to Somerset, and finally
a continuation to Harrisburg on line of
the South Penn. This would be quite
a boom for Somerset county if the
building would come to pass.
The Trust and Deposit Bank will
open its doors for business in a few
days. Those who are in a position to
know seem to think that the prospects
of a large banking and other.busi-
ness is very promising.
The First National Bank of Stoyes-
town is being equipped with bank
furniture, and will open up very soon.
Where, oh, where is Shanksville that
it does not hold up its head for a Na-
tional?
Sleighing parties to and from Somer-
set are all the go just now, and not a
few of the pleasure-seekers have been
dumped into snow drifts.
This is License Court, and all the
landlords are represented in person or
by other representatives. Quite a
number are on the anxious seat, and
there are those who will undoubtedly
be turned down.

It was Horace Greeley Who said; “It
is strange how close men read the pa-
pers. We never say anything men
don’t like but what we soon hear of it.
If, however, we happen to say a good
thing, we never hear of that; nobody
seems to notice it. We pay some men
a hundred compliments, and give them
a dozen puffs, and they take it as a
tribute to their greatness; never think
but if we hap-
pen to say anything one of these men
does not like, or something he imagines
it does them any good ;
reflects on his character, see how quick
ly he flares up and gets excited about
it. Then our evils are charged up to
us, but we never apparently get credit
for the good we do.”
The End of Our Lumber Supply.
The bureau of stati
ted States governme
ics of the Unis
has prepared a
report on the available lumber supply
of the country, in which it estimates
that there is only enough timber stand-
ing to last us during the next 60 years.
We .are cutting it down at the rate of
40,000.000,000 feet a year, and the con-
sumption is constantly increasing. Not
only are we each year using more of it
ourselves, but our exports are greater
owing to the exhaustion of the supplies
of other countries which use large
quantities of lumber in the arts and
manufactures. It is notable that in the
enumeration of the States which now
contain the principal supply
which we must rely Pennsylvania,
formerly one of the foremost as a lum-
ber producer, does not figure at all.
It may be that this report is not ac-
curate, bat its approximate correctness
is attested by all those who have made
any careful investigation of this sub-
jeet, and nothing seems more certain
than that the twentieth century will
exhaust our lumber unless we take
some means to replace it. It might
be possible, had we all the machinery
and appliances ready to begin at once
the reforesting of the country, to meet
the crisis, which is now less than a
normal lifetime ahead of us, since
many kinds of timber could be matured
in 60 years; but the measures for re-
foresting are not completed, and it will
take many years to bring them to that
degree of efliciency when they will be
ready to insure the planting of new
trees as fast as the old ones are de-
stroyed. We will be wise, indeed, if we
make these warnings the occasion of
hastening our preparations for replac-
ing the wealth of lumber which has
been so ruthlessly wasted. It is hard
to overrate the difliculties under which
the arts will labor as we approach the
limits of our lumber supply. — Pittsburg

Strike at Tub Mill Mines.
Owing to the discharge of about 12
men at Tub Mill Mines, last week, all
the other miners at that colliery are
out on a strike.
The strikers claim that their fellow
workmen were discharged without just
cause, and they refuse to work unless
the discharged men are reinstated.
However, the report sent from Meyers-
dale to the Pittsburg Times, stating
that the entire region is on a strike, is
not correct. The strike is only at Tub
Mill.
We are indeed sorry for the present
state of affairs at Tub Mill,and we ear-
nestly hope that the difficulty will soon
be adjusted satisfactorily to the em-
ployers and the employes.
