Spring Gums.

Considerable excitement has been occasioned
at Johnsburg, Warren county, Pa, by the killing
of notorious character named Charles Pasco,
alias Charles Dick on the premises of respect
able and well-to-do farmer named Samuel f.
Bahrer. The facts are substantially as follows:
For long time past Mr. Bahrer has suffered
severely from the frequent visits of a gang of
burglars. His grain cribs had frequently been
empted, his fowls taken, and his farming imple-
ments destroyed. He frequently kept watch
about his premises, but never succeeded in cap
turing the culprits. As q final resort, he pro-
cured a spring gun, which he mounted in his
barn. loaded. He warned all comers by notice
ON the barn of the presence of the gun, and for a
number of days he missed nothing. Some time
on Sunday evening or Monday morning last
Pasco visited the premises for plunder, and en-
deavored to effect an entrance by tearing away a
hoard. The gun went off, and the contents
lodged in Pasco's heart, killing him instantly
Monday A. M. his body was found, and also a
oag which he had in his possession. The news
of the strange occurrence spread rapidly through
the neghborhood, the coroner notified and
the body handed over to the family, How the
case viii terminate il not known. The deceased
was small farmer, and was looked upon with
suspicion by the community.

Beliigerent Interview Between the President
and senator Ross-The Latter Ordered from
the White House.
The N. Y HeraLds correspondent gives the
details OF the following affair which will be read
with interest
senator Ross, of Kansas, one of the gallant
seven who voted against impeachment, beard ID
the Presidential lion in his den this yesterday
morning. The report ia that Ross went to the
White House to look after certain appointments
for his far-off State. He had heard that the
President intended to make certain nominations
incompatible with the slate he (Ross) had made
out for himself. Ross, like other Senator's is
human, and has soul not above yearning for
the loayes and fishes His soul felt sad at what
he had learned concerning the designs OF fresl-
dent Grant, and to give his soul comfort he
wended his way to the White House de was
admitted at the same time as old Zach Chandler,
but had the first chance to speak hls little piece
20 the President.
II come. Mr.. President, to talk with you about
the appointments for my State, having heard
that YOU intend 20 make certain nominations
that may not harmonize with my desires, II you
deem it worth while to consult them In the
To which Grant laconically and interroga-
lively responded, SWELL sir n
This Presidential response was not In the true
manner to be relshed by the Kansas SENATOR;
ssAm to understand that am rightly informed
as to your stated intentions to disregard my
preferences In the matter of appointments, Mr..
President 2" inquired the Senator.
"That is question hardly susceptible OF an
answer, sir. To what appointments do you
alIude? Inform me, and then | can reply" re-
Joined Grant ~
senator Ross liked the second answer as little
AZ the first, but having come for enlightenment
he was determined not 10 go away In tog. The
Eenator therefore, with suppressed rage, ex-
planned the appointments 70 which he had
reference.
"Frankly, sir" said Grant ~ intend not to
make those appointments
1svVhaf air You scorn 10 accommodate me
IN the leastS" exclaimed Ross, boiling over with

XdrmIy but sternly replied Grant.

Senator Ross. , q :,

The Dead Returned to Life.

The Petersburg CVirginia) Index publishes the
following story
"By the afternoon train from the West on
Wednesday afternoon last, there arrived in town
a young man named John Collins, II former citi-
zen of Petersburg, and known to many of our
readers. In the early part of the war he enlisted
as private in one of the companies which went
out from the city, and which composed portion
of the 4lst Virginia Regiment, Mahones Brigade.
He participated in several battles, but ut Chan
cellorsville he was reported killed. His com
panions in arms believed him dead, and the sad
intelligence was communicated to his wife and
child His body was supposed to have been
buried, as the bodies Of many soldiers killed in
a fierce battle are unidentified; and it is even
stated that his funeral sermon preached.
The war went on and the war ended. Battles
and incidents of the war are fresh in the mind,
and the dead are remembered with affection, and
their deeds are not forgotten. Collins was only
thought of as dead-as one of the patriots who
had gone from all scenes of strife and troubles
and it was only when he stood before them in
person that he was able TO convince his friends
of their great error. He left the Confederate
lines at Chancellorsville and remained out of
them during the remainder of the war. Hs then
went West, sought employment, never commu-
nicated with his friends at home, and on We'd
nesday only came in search of his wife and child,
whom he found true to his memory"

Cuban Annexation.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph thinks that the
acquisition OF Cuba, batting the honesty of the
thing, would be beadvantageous both 70 the Cubans
and the people of the United States But It
adds-
'Much of the Northern immigration which
otherwise would be tempted South win transfer
their destination to Cuba That island will forth
with be the busy scene of Yankee adventures,
experiments. and speculations of all sorts, which
viii astonish the Cubans who have invited their
fate. It political occupation will involve heavy
additional expense Il will demand large adj
dition to our military and revenue force, and
this is but the beginning OF acquisitions from tne
Antilles. The Dominicans In Hayti are already
making oyertures for annexation, and probably
in few years we may absorb island after island,
until we get possession Of all the group. IL win

CURTIN.
Our Now Nlinister 10 Russia.


Andrew Gregg Curtin, appointed Minister to
Russia by President Grant, was born at the VIII
lage of Bellefonte Pa, April 2, 1917. His father
was an iron manufacturer of large means in
Centre county, and his mother daughter of
Andrew Gregg awell-known Pennsylvania poll
tician. Mr.. Curtin was educated at an academy
at Milton, small village on the Susquehanna
river, and read law in the Office of Judge Reed,
at Carlisle. He was admitted to the Bar in
1889, and ut once entered upon the practice of
his profession at Beletonte. From this time
forward he took an active interest in politics,
supporting all the candidates OF the Whig party
for the Presidency from Harrison TO Scott. In
1874 he stumped the State in behalf of Henry
Clay. In 1S4S and 1852 he was placed on the
Presidential electoral ticket, and in both these
years traversed the State in behalf of the candi-
dates of the Wing party. In 1854 he was Chair
man of the State Central Committee, Mr.. James
Pollock being the candidate for Governor in that
year. After his election, Governor Pollock
offered Mr.. Curtin the Office of Secretary of
the Commonwealth, which was accepted
by the latter. Mr.. Curtin was himself elected
Governor in 1860 and reelected In 1858. He
was inaugurated January 10, 1861, and during
the next six years was one of the leading spirits
among the loyal Governors of the Northern
