Distressing Ooourrenoe. A correspond

I am unrry to communicate to your pit per one ot
tlie ml6t and mirnt distressing misfortunes
that could possible oc.mr In any community. On
lust Thursday evening, Aimust 30th, aliout bed
time a young lady named MaRgle llniket, aged
21 years, MviiiK with Mr. Ernest, In Madison twp.,
left the house after doing tip all her chores at
about 8 o'clock 1". M., and proceeded to a well,
near the premises, uncovered It. ami deliberately
plunged into It a depth of tlitrty-ttve feet, where
Hhe was discovered after two days seBich through
the neighborhood, the victim was a well behaved,
religiously Inclined person, was a strict member
of Church and Sunday Hchool. Theclrcunislaiice
has caused an unusual sensation In the neighbor,
hood, eliciting a great deal of sympathy from all
sorts of people. It is supposed that her mind
wandered, as she was constitutionally weak In
body, but there Is still a mystery connected with
thetradgedy, and we can only conjecture ns to
the cause that led her to commit the terrible
deed. . U.K.

Dastardly Outrage by Tramps. On Tues
I day afternoon Milton Gramm boarded
an eastward bound freight train at
Bally 's Station, intending to jump off at
Duncannon, his home. But the train
passed through there too rapidly ,and Mr
Gramm was compelled to go on to Ma
rysville, where all trains run slow and
are expected to be under the complete
control of the engineer in passing the
N. C. R. W. bridge. In the meantime
on the train he formed the acquaintance
of two tramps who were stealing their
way. Upon arriving at Marysville, Mr.
Gramm alighted and proceeded on his
way to the station, where he purposed
waiting on the Pittsburgh express west,
which would carry him home at 11:30.
But, unknown to the gentleman, the
rascally thieves, whose acquaintance he
had formed on the train followed Mr.
Gramm and attacked him, beating him
with stones that cut his light almost
out. " For God's sake don't kill me," he
cried, " and I will give you all the mon
ey I have." They (the tramps) chok
ed him and held his mouth shut, and as
the blood from his wounded head run in
streams down his cheeks the rascally
devils robbed him of his money be
tween five and six dollars and then
fled. As soon as possible telegraph
.communication Was forwarded to Har
risburg, but whether the tramps have
.been caught we are unable to say. New

X An Oil Fire. Shortly after midnight on
Mouday ulgbt last, an employee of the
railroad oompany crept under an oil
tank ear that was leaking to make the
necessary repair. The oil dropped on
to his lantern aud at once ignited, and
soon the blaze was fearful. Fortunate
ly the gas found rent which salved the
tank from exploding and thus prevented
a disastrous fire. The noise of the rush
ing gas and roaring flames was a terrific
sight, and for a .time the citizens of
Marysville were considerably alarmed.
Mr. B. F. McNear, the employee, was
some what burned about the face and
arms. '
Stolen Horse and Wagon Recovered. Mr.
Jacob B. Arthur, residing near Gains
burg, in the lower end of this county,
about four miles southeast of Middletown
attended the colored campmeetlng at
Stoner's woods, near Highspire.on Sun
day, going there with his tilbury and a
fine lay horse. When about to start for
home he found his horse and conveyance
missing, and learned that a colors man
had been about in the evening asking
whether the horse had been fed, who
owned it, eto. Later the animal was
driven off and all traces lost of It'tlll
yesterday morning when information of
the circumstance was1 left at the mayor's
office. The chief of police then took
the matter in hand and the detectives
found the animal In the Vicinity of Bald
win, where it had been turned loose on
the turnpike. The scamp who " borrow
ed" it evidently drove to this city and
afterwards turned it loose on the publlo
rood. The owner of the team had or
dered the purchase of $5 worth of postal
cards to have them printed, in order to
describe the stolen property. The officers
having a number of them on hand, only
only purchased f 1 worth, whlch after
the "rig" was found, were not needed.
Showing a disposition not to pay even
the small sum Invested in his Interest,
the policeman, with a commendable
spirit, presented him with the amount
due for services, and the price of the
postal cards. Of course when the Galns
burg man wants any similar favors done
he will have the eilroutery to call upon
the Harrlsburg policmen. Jlarrisbura

How gloomy's the day when death conies nigh.
And callsa dear one totheskyt
How hard It Is to give up one,
So dear, so happy, and so young.
But Jesus says weep tears of Joy,
For such as these does heaven employ.
The little ones In glory meet.
And sing around the mercy seat.
That lovely flower Is blooming still
Though not on earth, It Is God's will :
In heaven she shines more bright and fair,
And hopes you all will meet her there.
