JSaS-Since- the oil fever seems to bo the prevahng epidemic, it would be well ior our property lioldicrs, to look closely to what kind of contracts they make with strangers, ns many engaged in purchasing leases or wrighls tooppcrate upon, are without capital.

Au accent occurred at the Lake Shor'jR.. Depot about 2 o'clock jcsto.rdac afternoon. which resulted in the instant .death of George S. WWUll: Eso.. of this eit. The accident 'nappened while the engine of the Cleveland and JErie branch, was barling up towards the Western engine oonse, after having been disengaged, rrom the train just arrived from the west. Mr. Whitehall, who is very deaf, came upon the track at its junction with Sassafras at-, and stepped before the en gine at a distance of not more than ten feet froir it. The engine was 'instantly mereed, but it was impossible to check it in time to save him. He was pushed along in the rear of tho engine for several feet, when he tell upon the track and was rolled and crushed into au almost indistinguishable mass, the wheels finally passing over his arms and legs and sepa rating them from his body. Mr- Whitehall was about 50 years of age, and had been employed at the Wes tern Freight Office for tho last two years as a book-keeper. He was a strong, vigorous man, with no infirmity save an almost total deafness, whioh had afflicted him for many years, and has at last caused his death. He was held in the highest estimation by the Company, for the neatness, accuracy and facility with which he performed his duties. He was well known' throughout the city, and his singularly genial and social nature had won lor him hosts of friends. The death of no man in his sphere of life could have been moro deeply rcgrcted. Mr Whitehall having no family. resided with Mr. Charles Shirk, whoso wife was his sister. Tho remains were conveyed to the residence on Ninth Streot, at which place tho funeral ser vices will be held at 10 o'clock to.mor- row morning. THE WAR IN CLEARFIELD CO. The Capture of 19 Bounty Jumpers anu deserters. A Desperate and Bloody Attack on r . x-. Reserves. THE NOTORIOUS TOM ADAMS KILLED. fjo Murder of Private Cooper. Such is thTtfrrUy important news furnished tho publie by tt&IIarrisburg Te leoranh of Friday last, anduct- i4t0wniLlP' wcre al f i ; i.:t. :. ,, r..:..i. cd. Tho Telroranh then prooeed to give the startling details in tho following language : From information received by Major Dodge, A. P. M. G., we learn that the troops dispatched from this post in quest of bounty jumpers and deserters in Clearfield couuty, came in collision with a party of these desperadoes, and after a desperate fight succeeded in killing their leader, the notorious Tom Adams, and capturing nineteen of the cut. throats who fought by his side. It appears from the information re. ooived here, that Capt. Southworth, Co. C, 16th Kegiineut Veterrn Reserves, on Monday evening was proceeding on the road to Osceola, and, when near Phil- lipsDurg, ascertained that a largo party r A, . . i.j : . 1; " 1 ! near by. Capt S. at once made the ne. 18(34 NO 21 ccssary arrangements for the capture of these rascals, and proceeded immediate, ly to surrouud the place of their conceal ment. On discovering tho presence- of the troops, the deserters at once opened a fierce fire. Tho action, however w.ia short and the notorious bounty jumpei, was instantly killed, nineteen of Ins n socintea being cnnturerl. Tli our side amounted to killing ofono man. rnvaio. Uoopor, tnrmorly of the Gth Regiment. New Hampshire Yolun. tcors. It is expected thnt this notion will constrain deserters who infest Clearfield county to rally and entrench' thnmRi'Iro soruowhere in the mountain fastnesses of tho region, and that before tlieso gangs are brokcu up and brought to justice, a most bloody fight will occur. Now, except as to the killing of the two men nameJ.'abovc. there is snnmnlv a single word of truth iu tho above. We have mado evory effort to'gct at the facts, and whilo they arc different sto ries in circulation wo believe tho main facts in the following statement may bo relied upon ; The. soldiers are stationed at Phillips. burg, in Centre county. On Tuesday night, tho 13th instant, there was a par ty at the house of Thomas Adams, iu Knox township, Clearfield county-some 12 or 13 miles from Phillipsburg, and about tho same distance from Osceola. This party is said to have given by Adam3 to a brothcr-in law, who had just returned from tho war with an honorable discharge About 3 o'clock on the morning of tho 14th, a military officer presented himself at tho door whero tho party was enjoying them selves, and demandod a surrender, sta ting that thev were surrounded. A n w Adams immediately ran up stairs and urcu irom me 101c, toe nousc being nut a story and a half) killing one of the soldiers. He then escaped from the other end of tho building, on the roof of a shed, and thence to the ground, aud was making his way to the woods, when he waordered to halt, when failing to do so Gve or six shots wcre firod at him, only one, of which, however took effect. These were tho only shots fired.. The rest of the men 13 or 19 in all sur rendered without a struggle, were ironed and marched off to riiillipsburg. Sever al revolvers were lying upon a bureau in another part of the house, but their owners could not, or did not attempt to, reach them. Adams used a musket, loaded with buckshot Aftoi- ti e sur render, a thorough search was'maJo of the premises, but beside some ten re volvers, and three or four guns, we heard of nothing of a warlike" character being discovered. During this time the door had been kept closed, lasting perhaps an hour and a half, when Mrs. Adams was tho first to go out, and was the first to dis. cover tho dead body of her husband about ten feet from the door. The only person injured, besides tho two who were killed, was a'son of John M. Chase, whose "loyalty," we presume, will not bo questioned. Some of the soldiers, it is supposed, mistook him for the person who fired the shot that killed tho soldier, and gave him a sevcro blow across the tcmploawith tho butt end ot a pistol. Who were tho men arrested, wo have not heard; cxeopt that thcro was not a single eitizcnof Knox townshijHamong them. A man named Jacob Reed, whoso "loyalty" is abovojsuspicion, and one or two other citizens of Woodward township, were among the captives. The rest of tho party wcro citizens of ad joining counties Whether they were "bounty.jumpcrs," . or "deserters," or escaped conscripts, or citizens pursuing their lawful calling, wo aro unablo to to say. They wcre all marched to Phit lipsburg'ou Weduesday,,'and we pre sume, have siuco been scut eastward. Adams, the "avowed traitor," and notorious bounty-juniper," was, we bo lieve, originally from Cambria county. In 1360, he was among'the most ardent of Republicans, and was among the first to volunteer his services. How long ho remained in the service, nor why he left it, we are not advised, further than that his denunciation of the men he had assisted iu putting into power was of ,Ue ost impassioned character He was not a "bouuty-jumpcr,"at least t hi is the first time wo have ever heard tho charge made against him. This, then, is tho sum and substance- of this "Desperato and Bloody Attack on Company C, ICtli Regiment Veteran Keervcs;' this "desperate fight," it which tho deserters were "concealed" in a house, and "opetiod a fierce fire !" Whore our "mountain fastnesses" arc,, whoro the "deserters who infest Clear field county" arcto'rally'fand entrench thcmsolves," we are totally ignorant-,; but when they are "brought to'justicc,"' and that "most bloody fight" cimo off. wc win try and be there to see. Tho facrof thepartynt Adanis seems to have been no "concealed" affair. B ut it is alleged that information oSlhc fact was conveyed to the military officer, at Philipsburg on Monday or Tuesdays and a guide furnishedj to pilot- thcuv across the country, crossing"ClcarficU; creek about tho'mouth of Pott's run. A letter from Philipsburg, dated tho 15th, and published in tho Telegraph of the 1 Gth, gives a more truth fulac. count of this fad affair. jBut the- write spoils his story by closing his letter as follows : "Major Gabel, (the officer in command) is determined to arrest every deserter, and every disloyal man who has assisted in fomenting this resi?ta7tcc to the Government. M'ho Major Gubel is we knowj not. We take it for granted that ho is a man of sense, and understauds his duty as a military officer. But if we wcre mista ken in this ; if ho is a second Paine, or Lew Wallace, and the Jacobin leaders of this couuty become common inor mcrs, then some twenty.sevcn hundred Democrats of Clearfield county must nre. fpare themselves for seizure and arrest, lor these same leadors including this same Philipsburg libeller, who is doubt, less eome miserable creature subsisting upon publio or private charity have time aud again charged every man of us as being "disloyal," and as "fomcn. ting resistance to the Government." If our political opponents shall constitute themselves judges of their neighbors' "loyalty," and Major Gabel shall at tempt to execute their mandate, why, all wo have to say now is, that that J .w. uui VVUUIIJ 13 at hand than we had anticipated. "Dark Day" for our country is nearer .
