ANDREW PoRTER.-This unfortunate
man, who our readers will remember on
slight proyocation, mortally stabbeda man
named ANDREWS, in Philipsburg last sum
mer was tried at Bellefon'e last week and
convicted Of manslaughter, the jury rec
OmmeDdng him to the ENERGY of the court.
The court then sentenced him to two years
and four months in the Eastern Peniten-
tiary-the lightest sentence the law allow
ed
In view Of all the circumstances, the ac-
ton Of the court and jury was highly COM
mendable. To have acquitted this unhap-
Y victim OF his own bad habits, of all
blame, would have been a violation of the
high obligations resting upon them. The
old man ha almost wantoniy taken the
life ola fellow creature, and the law said
be must pay the penalty of his offence,
but his Judges seemed to have tempered
all their proceeding with mercy, and in
the end extended to him all the clemancy
an erring fellow being could hope to re-
ceye
FROZEN TO DEATu.-On last Saturday
night a week ago, man named William
Ellis blacksmith on O'Conner's division
Of the Tyrone & Clearfeld rail road was
frozen to death between the top of the
mountain aud Philipsburg. He had start
ed for the latter place in company with an
Irshman from whom by some means he
became separated, and was not heard of
until found dead on the following Friday
His face was partly eaten off by Skunk
which was engaged at the horrid feast at
The time, and led to the discovery. An
inquest was held upon the body and the
lcts found as above
Snow AND SLEIGHING.-Since our last is
sue winters snowy mantle has enveloped
in earnest, and the merrysleigh bells
have began 90 awaken the echoes of the
bill side and the forest, and to startle the
till night air into music.
About foot in depth, of SNOW fell on
and about last Sunday, with a mild atmos-
lhere, which at first threatened to dissolve
in short time, but since then the
'eatser has become quite cold, the mer,
curry standing at C above zero, this We'd
nesdayl morning.
SIDE WALEs.-We deem it very import
ant matter in our borough economy that,
or the comfort and convenience Of all
who traverse them, that the snow should
De removed from the side walks as soon
N' 1t has ceased to fall By adopting this
pan all the inconvenience and discomfort
the snow and ice melting and forming
aush when it is thawing will be avoided.
nhearly all the other boroughs there are
Hunances requiring this to be done.
N town council should see to it.
a BEAuTIruL. ART-We have been
shown some beautiful specimens of design
