years, but il is nevertheless true. We
obtnif the circumstances from a friend
residing in Allegheny, a female relative
Of whom arrived fom tho neishborhood
on Saturday. On Monday week quite
early in the evening, the house OF wild
ow lady, named Fowler, situated six
miles this side Of Freeport. on tho ALA
ghany river, in Westmoreland County,
was entered by man whose face was
blackened, and whose evident intention
was 10 rob her. She was middle aged
lady, in good circumstances. owning q
valuable farm. and had considerable
amount Of money in the house. Scarce
ly had tho man got fairly into the dwell
ling, when he was seized by the thronl
by large dog, which killed him before
he let 90 his hold. The robber was
discovered shortly afterwards, and on
his face being washed, it was discover
cd that he was Mrs. Fowler's own son.

On the same day, gentleman named
Jacob Byerly, living in this County
about four miles from Freeport. shot
himself under the following circumstan
ces
His son had for some time been talk
ing Of going west, and on tho day men
toned, came to the conclusion 10 start
Mr.. Byerly was very much opposed to
the idea, and did all in his power to pre-
vent his son from going. Tho old gen
tleman stood in the doorway Of his res
idence when the son departed, and gazed
upon him until he had vanished from
his sight, when scalding tears commen
ced coursing down his cheeks, and he
seemed perfectly overpowered with emo

beside her husband, told him there was
no use Of mourning over it, os it could
not be remedied, ana that he had beue
come into the house and partuke Of some
food. He went in, but instead Of doinf
as requested, he took down u rifle which
was hanging against the wall, and goini
outside oil the house, bIowed his brains
out. Tho son had got but mile an,
a half from home when the tragical oc
courrencs took place, and on being in
formed Of the fact, he retraced his steps
and found his parent wc,ering in hi
blood. Mr.. ByerIy was about forty
five years Of age, was possessed OF I
large fortune, and numerous family
