Man Killed in Centre County.

On Friday last, two farmers, named re-
spectively John Williams and Harden
Richards, residents of Julian Furnace,
Centre county, became involved in per-
sonal encounter which resulted in the death
of the former. The two men were the
owners of adjoining farms. Some time
ago, Williams went on Richards territory
and cut down small tree, not knowing
that he was trespassing on his neighbor.
Richards became enraged at this, and in
dulged, it is alleged, in some threats
against Williams. A few days ago, the
flood floated some wood belonging to the
Bellefonte iron works on to Williams land.
By permission of the manager of the iron
works, Williams was permitted to retain
this wood for his own use. Subsequently
Richards claimed the wood, and last Fri
day went ON the farm of Williams with a
wagon to take it away, when Williams
made his appearance and put in claim
for the property. Words led to blows,
and in the end Richards cut Williams with
a knife three times above the ear, mutila-
ing him in frightful manner. Williams
lived till Sunday, when he died. Richards
was arrested, and is now lying in Bellefonte
Jail to await trial on the grave charge of
having taken human life.-Altoona Tri-

az The New York Tribune, alIuding to
its charges against Senator Carpenter, says
it desires to be distinctly understood that
it makes no charges that cannot be sub
stantiated. The Tribune is journal of
ample pecuniary responsibility. If Mr.
Carpenter has been aggrieved by any pub
lcation in its columns he has his remedy
at law. and whatever damage jury of his
countrymen shall say he sustained will be
promptly paid. More than chat, the
Tribune will gladly pay any sum that may
be so assessed in damages to be convinced
that the character of Mr.. Matt. Carpenter
is such that he does the Senate no disgrace
by presiding over it, and that his life and
conduct are such as may be held up for an
example instead of warning to the young
men of the country. For proof of that the
Tribune is ready to pay literally.
