SAD ACCIDENr.-We learn from our
friend, Jacob NJ. Carpenter. that on
Wednesday Of last week, little daugh-
ter of Jacob and Phoebe Gochenour. of
Buffalo Mills, was terribly scalded and
died from the effects short time after
wards. Mrs. g.. it appears. was clean
ing house. and the little girl had gone to
bed The mother carried q bucket Of
hot water and get it by the eide of ths
bed and went down stairs for something
else. During her absence the child. it is
supposed, rolled of the bed and fell into
the water. The mother, attracted by the
screams, rushed to the rescue but she
was too late The child suffered terribly
until the following morning when death
iuterposed. The bereaved parents have
our sympathy.-Btdtord Inquirer.
THE following brief conversation took
place in front of the SENTiNtL Office on
last Friday, between two Democratic
local celebrities. the one a resident of
Mifflin. the other a resident Of Milford
township. After a common salutation,
the Mifflin man. whom we shall designate
by way of distinction. as Democrat No,
[, addressed Democrat No g thus.
What news have you this morning
No. 2. have no news. only stopped
to ask you what you think OF Greeley.
No /. | don't think anything about
Greeley. What do you think
No. 2. | think he's pretty hard to
swallow. Can we 60 him =?
No. 1. don't know. guess though.
if we grease him right well with the
whiskey that he said our party uses, it
may be he'll go down.
No. 3. Hob May be he'll come up
again.
No. l. l don't know. You'll try him ?
This last remark from No. was what
lawyer would call a leading question.
to No. 2. and he. not feeling like CON-
mitiug himself directly, shuffled off up
street. with little laugh for an answer
1t will be observed that neither of these
gentlemen have committed themselves in
favor of Greeley.
YESTERDAY afternoon a distinguished
company of Mif1lin gentlemen, consisting
OF Sheriff, an ex Sheriff, two distin-
guished cattle aud horse brokers, plea
SAINT and entertaining market-car man,
District Attorney. a Clerk of the Court,
a Register and Recorder. Justic,, of the
Peace, and one practicing lawyer, feeling
the ennui of the torrid head. trespassed
on the public grounds about the Court
House for the purpose Of engaging in that
delightful exercise-on warm day in
July-of pitching Guoits. The ground
was selected in the shade on the east sle
of the Court House. and the parties
went vigorously to work, as the crystal
drops as big as soup beans that rolled
down their cheeks abundanily aitested |
Those not engaged in pitching. Laid and
sat in the most abandoned and artistic |
manner in the doors and on the steps of
that peculiar institution in the rear of
the Temple of Justice, and seemed to
revel in the fragrance peculiar to that
Office that is daily frequenied by many.
There is spirit of reform abroad in
the land Hovering awhile over this in,
teresting ground, ii let fly its shaft, and
these gentlemen were sum snoned before /
Justice Kgeider to answer for trespassing
on the public grounds. The hearing will
take place before Justice Kreider, mex,
Saturday. We suggest that it be held
in the Courtroom as a large audience
may be expected, and we ask the Justice
tn reserve seat for the SENTINEL re-
por,en The case is worth at least S. |
per head, aud if it 6 res before His Honor
Judge Junkin,it it would be worth from SIS
to $50 per head just to hear His Ronor's
charge flash and sparkle Wouldn't
it, gentlemen The janitor or keeper
of the public grounds. Jonathan Mccoy,
certainly is practical reformer Keep
the ball rolling There is good deal
of jocuudity in this reform movement.
and it won't kill the parties. as the stone
did the frog
