DssAs A young man named Andrew Snv-

road, near Grahamton, Clearfield county,
had his feet 50 badly frozen that, it is
thought amputatiOn of both will become

esg~ The Lock Haven Democrat. here
tOt1re firm though rather courteous
sheet, has passed into the hands of J. w.
d w. +. Fury, who seem determined to
make it full of - fury" Their inaugural

In the disturbed district of Missouri. has
published card acknowledging that his
articles were malicious and false, and that

friend Col. John VI. Bowman, who was
removed from the Office OF Assistant AS
SCISSOR for Johnstown district in Novem-
ber last, was re-instated on the lst Janua-
ry. From our knowledge or Col. Bow
man we have no doubt he was one of the
best officers in the State, and as his remo-
val was a part of a political scheme on foot
last fall which signally failed, his resto-
ration Is but an act of simple justice.
Bs5@ The trial of John Boyle for the
murder of George Squibb, in the York
county court, resulted in his acquittal-
There are still two other indictments
"gtlnSt him-one for the murder of Mrs.
Squibb; the other for the grand-child.
These indictments, unless abandoned
sooner, will be disposed of at the April
court. Mcirannigan and B0yle's son,
both of whom were tried for the same of
fence, Were acquitted without much cpre-
mony, there having been no evidence
against them which would have justified
Il conviction.
