On Saturday morning of week before
last about L o'clock, number of men,
some eight or ten, went to house near
ht. Latte, two miles and half from this
Borough, occupied by two brothers named
Daniel and Michael Kelly. They dashed
In the front door with-a rock, and while
some renamed on guard outside the 9TH
ers went In. Daniel has been bcd-riddeu
TOR eleven years. But this seemed to
make no difference to the ruffians. who
dragged him from his bed, and with mis-.
tois leveled at his head, swore to take his
life unless he told them where his money
was concealed. One of the robbers struck
Michael On the head with the butt of his
revolver, and when he commenced to
shout for assistance actually forced the
barrel of his pistol down his throat to stop
his cries. They robbed the brothers of
go IN money and a County bond for
$500.
From the house of the Rellys they went
to house in Mt. Laffe, which is owned
by Mrs. Hooler, widow about 60 years
of age. The house is parttioned, and oc-
cupied by the widow by miner named
George Grethead and bis wife, and by
Samuel Gassids
Leaving guards outside the robbers
dashed in the door at Mrs Hooer's with
a heavy stone. They robbed her of about
$50 and one of the fends made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to violate her person.
From Mrs. Hooler's the robbers went
into Mr.. Greatheads house, and search
ed it thoroughly for money, tearing up
the flooring and even bricks in the hearth
for money which they supposed might be
concealed. One of the ruffians fred
shot at Mr. Greathead, which passed over
his head entering the head board of the
bed. He cooked his pistol again and
while preparing to fire another shot was
ordered to desist by the leader of the par
ty, who said he wanted no bloodshed and
would not permit Greathead to be shot
unless he resisted They put sack over
Greathead's head and tied him to the bed
Atthis time an attempt was made to COM
NIT rape on the person of Mrs. Great
head, but the villain was not successful
in accomplishing his hellish purpose
Mr.. Greathead was robbed of $3.50 In
money, watch and suit of clothes From
Samuel Gasside, in the adjoining house,
they took suit Of clothes, and they rob-
bed Thomas Knox of s., so.
The robbers were about three hours
perpetrating these outraees. Although
not recognized, it was evident that some
of them were familiar with the fact that
the parties they robbed had money They
were disappointed at Kelleys, as they
supposed he had the money for the bond
which they took. In fact they asked him
for it, when to save his life one of the
brothers pointed out the place where the.
bond was kept, a trunk.
The house of Mrs. Hooler presented a
sorry spectacle when the robbers left, as
they had torn it almost to pieces inside
searching for money.
There have been no arrests and we pre-
sumo will be none, for are not these men
''inOcents, who are only fighting their way
through life ?"-PottsUiUe Niaers' Jour

OCCUPATION.

What a glorious thing it is for human
heart Those who work hard seldom
yield themselves up 10 fancied or real
sorrow. When grief sits down, folds its
hands, and mournfully feeds upon its own
tears, weaving the film shadows that a
little exertion might sweep away into a
funeral pail, the strong spirit is shorn of
its might, and sorrow becomes our mas
ter When troubles flow upon you dark
and heavy, toll not with the waves
wrestles not with the torrent = rather
seek by occupation to divert the dark
waters that threaten to overwhelm you
in thousand channels with the duties of
life always present. Before you dream
Of it, those waters will fertilize the pres
ent and give birth to fresh flowers, that
they will brighten the future flowers, that
will become pure and holy in the sun
shine which penetrates the path of duty.
Life after all is but selfish feeling,
most selfish is he who yields himself to
the indulgence of any passion that brings
not JOY to his fellow men.

When | was Young.

w
Or what the Old Woman said TO he,
Daughter.
We give the following, uerbatim ct liter
atum, commenting it for share of genuine
wit and much truthfulness. If it iolts, il
jingles, and if capital letters are some
what out of place, capital ideas are not who'll
ly wanting
One morning as chanced to pass
close by cottage gate,
An aged matron in the shade
sat talking to her Kate
The frost of age was on her brow,
And garrulous her tongue,
As she compared the doings now,
With those when she was Young.
when L was young, young gals were meek
And looked round kinder shy,
And when they were compelled to speak,
they did SO modestly!
They staid at home and did the work,
made indian bread and wheaton,
And only went to Sabbath school,
and sometimes to night meetin',
Young children were obedient then
and had no saucy airs
They minded what their mothers said,
and learned to say their prayers;
But nowadays they know enough
before they know their letters,
And young ones that can scarcely talk,
will contradict their betters.
Young ladies now 60 flirting round,
and looking out for beaux,
And scarcely one in ten is found
who makes or mends her clothes.
When | was young, if merchant failed,
he shut up house and hall,
And never ventured out till night
he ventured out at all.
His wife sold all her china plates,
his boys came home from college;
His gals they learned to cook and bake,
and wash, and such like knowledge.
But now-a-d day, when a merchant fails,
they say he makes penny;
His wife don't have gown the less,
and his daughters just as many;
He rides his horse, he drives his gig,
he drinks his choicest wine,
His wife goes to the opera,
and he asks folks to dine.
When | was young, crime was crime
it had no other name
And when twas proved against man
he had 10 bear the blame;
They called the man that stole, "thief,"
and wasted no fine feeling;
What's now called "petty larceny"
in my day was called stealing.
They did not make a reprobate
the theme of song and story,
AS if the blooder was his deed,
the brighter was bis glory;
And when cruel murder was done,
could they the murderer find,
They hung him as they would crow
terror 10 his kind.
But nowadays it ssems to me,
whenever blood is split.
The murderer has our sympathy
proportioned to his guilt;
And when the law has proved man
to be a second Cain,
A dozen jurors will be found
TO bring him in insane!

We met.
L saw him next reeling in the street.
A confused stare was upon his counte-
nance, and words of blasphemy were on
his tongue. Shame was gone.
| saw him yet once more. He was
pale, cold, motioDless, and was carried by
his friends to his last resting place In
the small procession that followed, every
head was east down, and seemed to shake
with uncommon anguish
His fathers gray hairs were gone to
the grave in sorrow. His mother wept
to think that she had ever given birth to
such child.

REPARATOR CAPHLL
For restoring hair upon bald heads (from
whatever cause it may have fallen OUT and
forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it
has no equal. 1t will force the beard to
grow upon the smoothest face in from five TO
eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from
two to three months. A few ignorant prac-
titiopers have asserted that there is nothing
that will force or hasten the growth of the
hair or beard. Their asSertains are false, as
thousands of living Witnesses (from their
own eyperience) can bear witness. But
many will say, how are we TO diitinguish
the genuine from the spurious! 1t certainly
is difficult, Jas nine-tenths of the different
Preparations advertised for the hair and
beard are entirely worthless, and you may
have already thrown away large amounts in
their purchase. To such we would say, try

LINDSEY, the clergymen who whipped
his boy to death at Shelby, Orleans.Coun-
ty, last summer, has been tried, found
guilty of manslaughter in the second de-
gree, and sentenced to three years i'm

The gallows was certainly cheated of its
just due, in this case.
The Rochester Demscrdt says :-"We

the Rev. Joel Lindsey whipped his little

child in repeating prayer taught bin by
his death mother, in preference 20 one
which his step mother wanted him to say"
