graver, and more reserved than herself; and
though his words were somewhat strangely
chosen, somewhat formal and precise, these
Jared but little on her. for she believed
his heart, in her blissful ignorance, to be
all her own.
Before they parted for the night, Mr..
Singleton obtained from Eva the letter
written in his name, and destroyed it. He
knew that it could not bear the test of o
cool, careful scrutiny, and he feared that it
might, later, awaken suspicion in Eva's
mind especially when she had an oppor-
tunity of comparing it with his zeal hand
writing.
Six months later, this unprecedented
courtship was concluded by marriage, and,
in later years, so greatly did Eva's sweet
ness and goodness win upon Mr.. Singleton,
he loved her as fondly as she loved him,
and was wont to consider Willie's practical
joke as the most fortunate occurrence of
his life.
This is the only point on which he pre-
serves secrecy toward his wife-the con-
tidence between them being perfect and
entire in all other respects.

A MURDERER ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE.
The Sheriff Shoots Him Twice.


For several days past, in momentary an
ticipation of the reception of his death
warrant, Michael Moore has suffered sus-
pense which gradually grew into uncontrol-
liable frenzy About week ago, he COM
menced to work his escape by undermin-
ing the walls and opening a way through
the masses of stone, thus to secure his lib
erty. The warrant for his execution was
received on Saturday, and from the hour of
its reception until Monday he was closely
watched by the Sheriff. and his plan of es-
cape discovered Upon this discovery, the
Sheriff determined to remove him to anoth-
er more secure cell, and there, to place him
in irons. before he read the death war
rant. Knowing the desperate condition of
Moore, Mr.. Bonacker secured the assistance
of ex-Sheriff Meyers and Mr.. Quartz, con-
ductor on the Edensburg branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and proceeded at
once to remove him. Immediately upon
their advance to the door of the cell, Moore
was discovered inside, armed with pipe,
which he had by some means wrenched
from the line which served as a waste pipe
from the cess-pool of his cell. Moore, i'm
mediately upon seeing the approaching
party, called aloud that he would kill the
first man who attempted to enter. Sheriff
Bonacker replied by commanding him to
submit Moore then reiterated his former
threat, when the Sheriff told him he would
be compelled to fire upon him. Moore
barred his breast and told the Sheriff to fire
this the officer did, shooting him through
the wrist. This appeared to only excite
the prisoner to greater frenzy, when Sheriff
Bonacker again fired upon him, this time
shooting Moore through the leg. The pris-
oner still showing fight, the Sheriff with
drew, and with his party Of assistants
sought legal counsel. .sl
The party again returned to the CELL
when Moore announced that he would sub
init to be confined by ex-Sherif Meyers,
but not by Sheriff Bonacker. Mr. Meyers
at once entered the cell and placed the pris-
oner in irons, when he was conveyed to the
cell assigned TO those under sentence of
death, and the warrant for his execution
read to him.
Under this warrant, he will be hung in
the Jail yard, at Ebensburg, between the
hours of ten and two o'clock, Wednesday,
the 9th day of November Voice.

Is Il WIcked 70 KIlI Bears on SUNDAY

The San Francisco Call says: James
Smith, of Washington, Oregon, Sunday,
two weeks ago, heard a great rumpus
among his hogs near the house. seizing
his gun, he ran to the spot and found a
bear helping himself to one of his hogs.
The bear started for tall timber, closely
followed by the gentleman and his dogs,
who finally succeeded in killing the bear.
Mrs. Smith, protested against the trans
action as an Infringement Of the Sabbath,
The moro she thought the matter over, the
more she was dIspleased, till, finally, she
declared "she would not thus remain un-
evenly yoked to the ungodly," and hied
away to her fathers house, and further de-
clares that she viii pray Judge Upton, at
the fall term, TO grant a divorce. She pro-
badly was sorry that her husband was not
killed instead of the bear.

have been assured In the Official papers that the aega

Are the American people to disown
and overthrow the great soldier whose ge-
MUS gave our armies victory and whose
name fills the world-whose administration
has preserved the peace, strengthened the
credit, given protection and justice to all
classes, and managed affairs with honesty
and economy--are the millions of brave
soldiers who followed Grants flag to
victory, or even of the brave Southerners
who Surrendered to his valor only to find
magnanimity and kindness-are the citi-
zens of the country, in whose history the
name of Grant must live for ages, to
seriously abandon him because Mr.. Sumner
is angy and Mr.. Greeley is dissatisfied and
Mr.. Trumbull would like to be President,
and Mr.. Schurz has no more patronage,
and to obey the mandate of a conclave OF
malcontents whose only principle is office
and who have no grievance but what comes
from their temper, their vanity or their
disappointed ambition? M i
