HIGHWAY RoBDERY.-On Tuesday OF last
week, colored man named Jones was robbed,
in broad daylight, near Lumber City, in this
county, of $27 in money and a promissory
note of $l02. 1t seems that three men in
duced Jones to take walk along the River
beach below the town, for the purpose Of en-
gsging in a game OF cards. a short time af-
ter, he was found there in senseless condi-
tion, (caused, it is supposed, by either drugs
or liquor,) and robbed of his pocket book con-
tanning the money and notes. Ono of the
men, named T.. Ii. Baker, was subsequently ar
rested, and on Thursday brought to this place
and committed to Jail. Yesterday evening,
the other two men who are charged with the
offence, were also brought here and lodged in
prison. Their names are Robt. NJ. Reed and
Wm.Lyons. Baker alleges that he did not take
part 10 the robbery, having left before it took
place. Highway robbery is bad enough under
any circumstances, but for white men to rob
negro in the manner in which this one is said
70 have been robbed, is degree of meanness
and degradation in crime which we were not
prepared to hear of being attained in any civ
ilized country. 1t is a satisfaction to know
that the guilty parties are not natives of our
county. We hope that all who are guilty will
be punished to the utmost extent of the law.

DEATH OF JOHN r. MoRRow.-By a letter
from Knoxville, Rock Island county, Illinois,
directed to his brother, H. Hays Morrow, of
the Clearield House, we learn that John r.
Morrow, formerly a resident Of our town, was
killed at Knoxville, on the 21st of March, by
the premature discharge of a cannon, which
he was assisting TO fire on the occasion of the
death of Gov. Bissel. 1t seems the swabbers
had not been sufficiently careful inicleaning all
the fire out of the gun, and an explosion en-
sued when the load was in but short distance
The ramrod was split into pieces, one of which
penetrated the breast of Mr.. Morrow, causing
his death in a few moments. He was buried
on the 22d, with the honors of war. He leaves
a wife and three small children.

at his residence in Burnside township, this
county, at the advanced age of one hundred
and thirteen years, seren months and eighteen
days! He was born in Michaelstadt, near
Mannheim, Germany, on the 5th day of August,
374G. He arrived in America in 1853, being
10 years of age at the time of his arrival, and,
consequently, has resided in this country 101
years, months and Is days. He entered the
American service in 1775, and continued in it
throughout the whole war. He was along with
Washington when he crossed the Delaware on
Christmas night 1776, and was in the battle of
Trenton, Dec. Goth. Day was just breaking
when they drove in the outposts of the Hes
slams, through a violent ow-storm. He took
part in the battle of Brandywine, Sept. 11th,
1777, under Lafayette, and, having been trans
ferred TO Gen. Wayne's division, was in the
defeat Of esMad Anthony near Paoli, Sept.
10th, 1777. .s<He was in the battle of German
town, Oct 4th, and encamped with Washing
ton at Valley Forge, Dec. l1th, of the same
year. Ne considered that winter the coolest
he ever experienced. The soldiers suffered
much from, ,scantiuess of clothing, and, shoot
ing squirrels, they fayed them and drew the
skins over their feet for shoes. On the 2Sth
of June, 177s, he was in the battle of Mon
month under Wayne, and along with him at
the stormng of Stony Point, where they used
that thrilling watchword, ssRemember Paoli,
brave boys!" He was with Lafayette at the
surrender of CORVALLIS at Yorktown, October
10th, 1881, and in number of other engage
ments of less importance than those men,
toned. We are not aware at what period he
came to this region, but he was among the
first settlers of the southwestern part of our
county. He leaves large progeny to the
fourth generaton-his descendants numbering
near three hundred. His wife died in 1853,
aged l0S years. Immediately preceding her
death, they were the Oldest living couple in
the United States. Mr.. Snyder retained the
sigor of his constitution to a remarkable de-
gree always enjoyed good health until of late
ne Degan to have weak spells, and was only
bedfast from the Sabbath before he died.
when he was upwards of 80 years of age, he
walked to Clearfeld town, distance of 30
miles, and back again the samo day. which
would make 90 miles, and did not feel any the
worse OF his walk. A number of persons liy-
ing near his residence, can testify to the fact.
de never missed attending the polls at Pres
'dential or Governors election since the or.
ganization of the Government. He was an
upright man and good citizen-neyer mur-
.nafed about anything-had no enemies that
nc was aware Of, and died respected and hon.
'sea BY all who knew him.

INPANTICIDE.- Friday morning the bod =
of white male infant, which had seemingly
come to its time, was found in the Susquehan-
ma river at this place. The coroner elect not
having lifted his commission, Esquire Frank
was called upon to act in the case. Accor-
dinghy, he summoned jury, who being duly
qualified, proceeded to inquire into the mat
ter, for the purpose of ascertainDg, if possible,
who was the mother of the child, and how it
came to be placed in the River. The BODY
was then taken up and removed to room in
the Town Hall, where post mortem exami-
nation was made 10y Drs. Wood, Hartswick
and Wilson who made use of the usual tests to
ascertain whether it had been born alive. After
this, large number of witnesses were brought
before the inquest, and from their testimony
the jury were led to believe that Mrs. Sarah
Brenneman, widow, was the mother, and a
warrant for her arrest was issued, on Saturday.
When the officer went to serve the warrant, he
found that the woman had disappeared, and,
as was subsequently ascertained, had conceal
ed herself in the woods near town. The next
morning, near daylight, she was, however, dis
covered entering the house of her mother on
Second street, where she was at once appre-
hended, brought before a justice, and COM
mitted to prison, after having confessed that
the child was hers. On Monday, the jury of
inquest took some additional testimony, and
then rendered verdict to the effect that the
child was born alive, that it had been deprived
of life by violence on the part of its mother,
and that Lettia Dunlap, the mother of Mrs.
Brenneman, was accessory before and after the
fact. a warrant is out for the latter, who has
not been arrested in consequence of her Ieav-
ing town. Asthe whole affair will be judici-
ally investigated, we refrain from making any
comments on it.

RATIoNALIsN IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
The last number of the Christian Observer,
of England, has a review of the latest vol
urne OF oxford Essays, in which it compares
the opinions of Theodore Parker with those
of the Essayists. After drawing the com
parison in detail, it says:
Enough then has been given to show that
IN all the characteristic features of their sys-
tenn, Theodore Parker, in l847 and in 1859.
Francis William Newman, in 1850 and the
Seven Essayists, in 1860, are all in harmony.
In gusge-indeed, in freeness of tone and
expTessiOn-there is just the difference which
might be expected between men, who, like
Parker and Newman, have thrown off all
conventional bondage; and those, who, like
the Seven Essayists, are Professors in Oxford
or klce-Principals, or head masters of col
leges or schools, or incumbents of parishes
IN the Established Church. But while there
is this difference in the tone and freedom OF
expression, there is none in actual creed.
All are agreed, the seven rs well a. the two.
in rejecting "supernaturalism," in placing
conscience above the Bible, and in THROWING
altogether out Of sight the grand topcs o.
Gods word, the introduction Of sin, and the
gift of a Savior, mans ruin, and mans ) re-
demption. OiH conviction is, that none OF
them have any real faith in either the one OF
the other Of these great truths.

Women in Europe and America True an,
False IadyhoOd

False LRdyhOOd.
Adam Gurowski, who is furnishing some
Of his experience in America to the New
York Saturday Press, relates the following:
While riding in an omnibus, one day, a
wel-dressed young " oman reached out her
hand to me in rather a commanding manner
but without breath of explanation, or the
least softening expression on her counten-
ance. | understood the imperative gesture
only when another gen tleman took some
money from her hand and passed it up to the
driver.
All thus looked very strange to me.
European women, of all nations and
classes when they ask or require service.
do so not only courteously, but with pleas
ant expression of face and acknowledge the
service in the same spirit. From the Queen
on the throne to the humblest peasant girl,
this is invariably the case.
| had often read and heard that every
woman in America was a lady. l had seen
in the shop-windows ga Lady Wanted
All this is well; but woman thus become a
lady ought to preserve her wOmanhood; that
is, to remain the same soft and graceful being
which nature intended
| met with several adventures similar to
the above.
While going to a morning reception in
Boston, | saw a carriage stop before the
house, and a "lady' descend from it. As it was
raining violently I respectfully offered my
umbrella. The Gladly" pushed it aside with
the air and manner Of an offended, outraged
but had better not use any comparisons
AT another time, when travelling by rail
through Virginia, lady and her daughter
entered the cars. 1t was night. l had a
supportahle corners seat, and having already
Travelled thirty-six hours, was very tired and
sleepy. Madam stood before me, imperiously
waiting for me to move.
will you give up your seat to us, sir ?"
(There were other seats in the car.
Silently, bowed "No."
You are not a gentleman, sir.'
am not, madam, only weary traveller"
AT the next station, colored woman with
an infant came in. She made no fuss, and
promptly gave her my seat.
The old-fashioned (called by some, aristo-
cratic,) rule, strongly enforced on our minds
by our mothers, was "Be polite to q wo-
man whether she wear a crown or dress in
rags lin Europe, we know nothing about
prejudice against color) "and deal with all
kinds of men, kings included, as you like"
The idea being that men can arrange their
own matters of behavior with each other.
lreligiously observe my mothers teach
ing toward all true Vomen.
