The trip was made from Indi ana, Pa., to Punxsutawney by stage and when Mr. and Mrs. Hillis reached their little log cabin in the then vast wilderness it is no wonder that Mrs. Hillis grew homesick. From a home in the Quaker City with comforts of life, surrounded by a multitude of kin dred beings, to a home in a log cabin in a vast wilderness surrounded by wild animals, was enough to make tbe most courageous heart feel faint and lonely. But the, like the wives of other pioneer settlers, faced the situa tion bravely and assisted ber husband in making a comfortable home, which they are now enjoying io their declin ing years. Mr. Hil'ia is about 70 years old and his noble helpmate is about 72 years old. Thev are highly esteemed by all persons who have had the pleas ured their aoquantafice.

Two of Sheriff Scheafnocker's Boarders ' Left Him Unceremoniously in the Night Time. Some time between 1.00 and 5.00 a. , m. last Sunday two prisoners escaped from the county jail at Brookvllle and have not been apprehended yet.

They gained liberty by sawing two bars off the cage and two bars off the window. As Morlssey's sentence would have ex pired in three weeks and Dougherty could have been released any time by putting up a bond, their escape was quite a surprise to the officials.
