county. The boy is about sixteen years old.
Robert Barnes, indicted for larceny Of bags
aud tools, vas convicted and sentenced to
hard work in the Western Penitentiary for
three years. This is the third or fourth time
he has been admitted as a member ofthat in
sttation, but We have no doubt this trip will
tame him completely. A short time before
the Sheriff started with the prisoners, Barnes
attempted 10 make his escape. When the
dishes used by the prisoners at their meals
were returned to the Sheriff kitchen, one
knife was missing, and this excited the sus-
picion Of The Sheriff, who Immediately went
IN search of it. He found it in Barnes pos
session, and before It was secured, quite a
lively scuffie ensued between them, IN which
Barnes and the other prisoners would have
made good their escape had it not been for
the Intervention Of the Sherif's wife and sew
eral other ladies belonging to the house, who
anticipating the movement locked the outer
doors. Nobody seriously hurt.
John o Conner and Patrick EIiget indict-
ed for stealing clothing from Peter F. HiiIe
gass were convicted and sentenced to the Pen
iteniary for three years.
Abm. Davis was convicted on two indict-
ments-one for stealing cattle from John
Shoemaker and the other for stealing a horse
from George Smith On the first he was
sentenced three years and on the second one
year making four to hard labor in the West
ern Penitentary.
On Monday morning last the Sheriff started
TO Pittsburgh in charge Of the prisoners.
Let this be a warning.

fell down Of its own weight last Tuesday a
week, stiIl lies in the river a complete
wreck Nothing has yet been done toward its
removal or the erection of q new one. It be

Turnpike Company whose franchises will be
forfeited if the bridge is not promptly rebuilt.
Mr.. 7. B. Kennedy, President Of the board Of

after the matter and after examining into the
case weat to Philadelphia to ascertain the
cost Of an iron bridge We understand that
the company asks the aid of the county 70
the amount Of 81, 600 in rebuilding the bridge.

between Bedford and Mt Dallas: We hardly
think it reasonable for the county to sub.

which our citizens are aiterward 10 be taxed
nearly 3, GOO per year. As TO the use Of the .
road from here to Mt Dallas one ought
rather to be paid than to pay for travelling
over it. l. Is impossible vet 20 tell what will
be done, but We viii keep our readers posted
on the matter as things progress.
