Too LATE We dropped into Mr..
J. NJ. Winners Photograph Gallery the
other day just as party left who came
too late to have their shadows taken.
We Of courre asked why it was that pic
lures could not be taken then a. we'll as
at any other time III the day, and were
fully convinced By Mr. Winners explana.
tion Of the working and direction Of light.
that to secure a good picture the setting
must be done at the proper time. The
time. as given by Mr.. Winner, is from 81
A NJ. to u P. NJ, for grown persons,
and for children, from 10 a. NJ. to P. NJ.
and for taking the pictures of children
successfully, clear days must be selected.
We publish the above hints. hoping to
benefit those of our patrons who wish to
have pictures taken, and at the same time
have a good job made.
We would here take occasion to state
that Mr.. Winner is by far the best pho.
tographer that has ever been in Mifflin
The pictures taken by him are not sur
passed by any artists outside of the
larger cities, and but very few city gal
leries turn out better work. His prices
are as low as those of any gallery through
oat the country. and lower than those of
most city galleries Call and see him:

DEsPERArE ENcoUNTER WITH A
RoBBER.-The Mechanicsburg Jownat
says; On Thursday night last, at about
twelve O'Clock, Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver, re-
siding short distance north of this place,
were awakened by the efforts of man
to gain admission to their house. Hear
ing the noise, Mr.. Weaver, an old but,
when put to the test, determined man,
descended 10 the cellar and there en-
countered an individual. who, upon
"Daddy's" appearance, took to flight.
followed closely by Mr. Weaver. After
an exciting chase Daddy" came upon
the robber, and brought him to the
ground near his neighbor. Mr.. Shreincr's.
Here ensued little contest in which
Daddy came out best Assistance arriv
ing, the prisoner was placed in their
charge, and brought to this place for
confinement. but the Chief Of Police be-
ing absent, and Justice Leas not having
the keys of the lookup. he was returned
to Mr.. Weaver, where he was kept until
and then allowed to depart. up
on the promise of not disturbing this
again. While confined an
examina ion was had which showed that
the individual was well supplied with
necessary implements to break into
mans house, whether made of flesh or
wood While we congratulate Daddy"
upon his escape, at least from robbery
perhaps murder, and appreciate his bra
very and success in capturing the robber.
we don't think he did right by allowing
the villain to 60, Notwithstanding he was
to keep watch over HIM
through the night. He should have sent
him here the next morning. A villain
like the one captured by him should not
have the liberty of going where he
pleases, and we shan't be surprised to
hear of him and his depredatioDs in the
upper end of the county-whither he
wended his way when released.
Mr. Weaver had sold a quantity of
wheat to Messrs Bucher IL Niseiy, of
this place on that day, and had taken
the money therefor home with him. 1t
is thought the robber was aware of this
fact.
