MAN KILLED-On Friday night about nine
O'Clock, as we learn from the Clearfield Re
publican, a man was shot On the Bellefonte
and Erie turnpike, one mile east of the
"Black Moshanon," under The following
circumstances
Daniel Swab, and his son John, a lad
about IL years of age, living at Tie Beaver
Mills, went out in the evening to watch for
deer. The elder Swab went to a lick a
short distance from the turnpike at the
point above mentioned, and sent his son 10
watch a crossing on the road. The boy had
watched for some time, when he saw at the
distance of about eighty yards something
moving in the road which he supposed 10
be deer. He al once drew up his rife
and fred, when he discovered (vhat his
criminal carelessness had before caused him
10 overlook) that the object he in his haste
had taken for deer was really man a
traveller on the road, who, as soon as the
gun cracked, came running toward the boy
with great rapidly, exclaiming "you have
shot me am dying" !" and then falling
heavily upon the road. The boy, who was
much alarmed, called for his father, who
came out OF the woods, and the two then
went up TO The man lying on the ground
He was dead, the bali having completely
severed the jugular, and passing downward
came out just under The left shoulder. The
father and son at once raised the alarm gave
themselves up, and remain in custody TO
await investigation.
The deceased was stranger, and moth
ing could be found on his person to identify
either his name or residence. His pockets
contained only knife and small piece OF
tobacco. He was six feet two inches high,
of muscular build, had very black hair, sal
low complexion, heavy dark eye brows, and
a scar about one inch and a quarter in
| length running up and down on the righ
side of his right eye. He had high nose
broad chin, and not very heavy beard
| Aged probably lhirty.five.
Some suppose him 10 have been dis
charged volunteer returning TO his home III
Armstrong county, at least a man filling the
same description and making such repre-
senlations passed through Milesburg OF
Friday about noon. Others who saw hin
after he was shot, thought him 10 be man
who, about the 18th OF June, passed through
Philipsburg drivi ing sheep, but nothing pos
tive has been ascertained. He was burie'
in Philipsburg on last Sabbath.
From the above description, we are in
clined 10 bell eve that this unfortunate MAJ
was none other than Isaac Keller, who wa
tried and convicted in the U. S. Distric
Court, at WiIliamsport, last week, for rob
bing :he mail in 1859, and escaped from In

men at home to this promotion? We all
say good, and believe it Il first rate ap-
pontment, as Doc has always been up to
time and proven himself to be chip off
the old block. His company officers do
not like to lose him, but their loss is his
gain, and they do not wish to stand in the
way of the promotion of any one.

which about one hundred miles of the
