One More I'nfortnnate, Rahly Import unate." ... Last Saturday morning the town was quite startled by the rumor that a young woman was lying dead in the Glen, and upon lntTMigilflon this was found to be true. Her name was Augusta Brause, and she had been employed by a gentleman residing in the Bournique Cottage, and bad lived in his family for sev eral years. On Friday afternoon June 26, between three and four o' clock she went to the room of his coachman and taking his revolver a five chambered Smith and Wesson in which there were three cartridges proceeded to the Glen opposite Mil ford. Shots were heard by several parties soon after, but as there is considerable target firing there no one paid any attention to them. When Mrs. Strauss returned from a drive and found her absent she was alarmed, and her anxiety still in creased when she found two letters, i addressed to herself and the other to the girl's mother in Skalitz, Hungary. They were read and clearly foreshadowed the determina tion of the yo"iing woman to end her existence. Owing to the lateness of the hour no search was made, but on Saturday morning parties went out and soon were led to the place where the girl was lying on her face in a small clump of hemlock bushes. The revolver was lying under her left side, with but one loaded cham ber, she had fired two shots both balls taking effect in the centre of her breast about an inch apart. A ury consisting of D. V. Drake, E. C. Wood, William Wilcock, Charles Quinn, Albert Helms and Jacob B. Vantassel was empanneled by Cor- onor Goigor, and the body removed to Horton and Wood's undertaking establishment where an inquest was hold. The letters, both written in German were read. The one to Mrs. Strauss was short thanking her for kindness shown,, and intimating that the writer would be happier out of this world of sickness and trouble. Tho one to her mother was longor and recited some reminiscences of home, complained of her sickness and downhoartedness and her ina bility to do her work ; and express ing fear lest she might become a charge on her friends, asking for- giveness for the act, and indicating her determination to end her difficul ties. The word kronkhoit frequent ly occured in the letter. Tho jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The young woman was soon Fri day evening about six o'clock lying whore she was found, by Harry Be gan and he reported the fact to his mother but supposed she waa siniply asleep so no furthur notioe was ta ken of H until Saturday morning when her absence becoming known, Degan who had been setting traps for squirrels and again saw her ly ing there in tlie same position, re. ported the fact and conducted the searchers to the spot. She was aged about twenty-four years, and has a mother, brother and s isters living in Hungary : also some friends in New York. Her father who works at Eldred MeKean county, in this State was telegraphed for and came on to attend the funeral which took place on Sumlay. Pine Hill Ferm. G. E. Hursh, proprietor.

Hanford Henderson, Clias. A. Gilchrist and Philip H. Geopp have established a rammer camp on the farm of J. C. Bull near Milford. A house 18x36 standing among a group of large chestnuts In a com manding situation on the bluff back of the road has been built which Is intended as a school room and dor mitory. The school will board with Mr. Bull. There will probably be twenty or more in the party. ' A neat prospectus states the object and intention of the camp, which is to furnish instruction and recreation. The lessons include the languages, mathematics.history.chemistry.Mu- sio and sketching,which will occupy the forenoon and the afternoon will be devoted to wheeling, boating, bathing and kindred amusements. This location has been selected' on account of the beauty and healthful- ness of this region. This fact is suggestive of what might be done in the way of estab lishing a large and permanent school at Milford. No other place offers equal natural attractio ns and with the facilities which will soon be at our doors for ' reaching here, there is no reason why Milford should not have a large and prosperous board ing school.

Fares to the amount of over t50 were ta ken, and the affair was a pleasant as well as profitable venture.

It is sup posed they are near New York. in another column will be found the card of Hon. William Mitchell announcing himself a candidate for nomination to the office of Associate Judge. This is a position which should command impartial judge ment, business capacity, and disore tion. Mr. Mitchell is entitled to con. sideration becautte he etubodioa all these charcteaiatica in a fitting do gree. The Newark Sunday Call thus explains the mystery of the mutila ted bait found in the Paulina kill "Almost every angler who, catohos his own know of the water insect commonly called the "eye-biter" by country boys. It is the larvae of one of the dragon flies, and one in a bait pail will take the eyes out of dozens of minnows or chubs if he is not quickly removed." WASHINGTON AND THE FLAG. He Rowed Low llefore the Klrnt One and Carrnited Its Bright Fold. The crodit for Old Glory must be divided between George Washing ton and Betsy Ross. Washington asked for flag designs, and Betsy Ross competed and won the prize. Washington did not wholly like the first plan she submitted, so acting uion his suggestion she took the strips of red and white and sewed them togother again until she had it ready to show him. In one corner she put the white stars which the Father of His Country said looked " like a white light in God's blue sky." ' Washington made a plan upon a sheet of paper in Betsy Ross' little back parlor in a very plain house in Philadelphia, and Mrs. Betsy worked faithfully to carry out the Idea. When she had it nearly done, she showed it to him,asking, "Is this ac cording to your excellency's idea ?" And Washington said it was and "fit for this new Union." Then he bowed low before it, clapping his hands for joy and caressing its bright folds. Three million of Botsy Ross' flags are now made every year in the United States. A few of these go over the water to Americans abroad, and a large number go to private citizens, but after all the flags for publio buildings have been deducted from the whole number there re main 1,000,000 to be accounted for. And this can only be done by allow ing enough patriotism to the small boy to admit of his burning them up and wearing them out on the Fourth of July. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. FreHh Kiln of Lime For Sale. George Cole has a fresh kiln of lime now ready at his place In Mon tague, N. J. Strnggle for Cougreiifl. An Easton correspondent to tho Philadelphia Record says: "Now that the Republican National Con . vention has been held and their ticket and platform made, local po litics in Northampton county and the Congressional district are be ginning to be discussed. The Con gressional question so far as the Democrats are concerned, seems to be in a mixed state. There is strong opposition (in Northampton) to the renomination of Mr. Hart. In all the counties in the district, there are candidates and especially is this the case in Carbon and Monroe. "If Mr. Bull, of Pike will consent to be a candidate there will be a lively contest. Mr. Bull could have been elected two years ago if he had consented to be a candidate, as the Northampton conferees stood ready to support him at any moment he gave the word. But his hands were tied by Mr. Hart, who had made him one of Jiis conferees, and he refused to release him from his obligation. He is a prominent attorney in North eastern Pennsylvania and a gentle man of extensive reading. "Two years ago Mr. Hart said that he would be satisfied with one term, and tor the support that the late Robert Klotz gave him at that time it was understood he would re- oiprocate two years hence. Now that Mr. Elotz is dead it is more than probable that Carbon will pre sent Mr. Barber as its choice. In Monroe county ex-Senator Shull is making a canvass. It is said that John B. Storm has declared his pre ference for Mr. Barber, of Carbon, and there may be some strife over the conferees. "Among the Republicans but lit tle is heard as yet concerning a can didate, it la well Known that ex- Judge Kirkpatrick, of this county, can have the nomination if he wTill take it, but it is asserted by those who presume to speak for him that under no circumstances will he en ter the contest unless the Democrat renominate Mr. Hart. Ex-Mayor Charles F. Chidsey, of this city .does not soom as anxious to go to Con gress as he was sometime ago, so it is probable in the event of Mr. Hart being set aside the candidate will ho taken by them from one of the up. tH'r cmntinH." The Monroe Dtuttoerat says he Hon. John B- Storm denies having , expressed ar.y such pretorence. No. 36. AMONG THE HOTELS. A Lint of OncM Who Are Now Staying- at the Various Hotels In this Place.

On that day ho told his parents he was going to Church. About half way between the Miller residence and the church is the residence of Harry Counterman. At this place Miller stoped, and taking off a fine white shirt and removing his sleeve buttons and watch chain, gave them to Counterman, who turned the goods over to the young man's fa ther two days later Young Millor left the Counter man house the same morning, say ing he was going home, but since then all trace of him has been lost. The father is of the opinion that his son has met with foul play. Liberty and Independence, The American idea which we particularly celebrate on Indepen dence Day, is not independence alone, but liberty with independence. There were and are plenty of nations absolutely independent of any for eign domination or influence what ever that still were and are sunk in political slavery, as there are col onies now, under a nominal foreign; allegionce, where the liberties of the people are secure, thanks to the American example. The American idea is broador than national bound aries. It is the idea of liberty under law, of organized government based on the judgment and the participa tion or the people, and protection to all in their equal personal rights. Philadelphia Times.
