LOVES YOUNG DREAM NIPPED IN THE
BUD.-Hope deferred, it is said, ma1eth the
heart sick. Il this be the truth, there are
two hearts which beat in a rural district not
far from Altoona in bad state Of repair
These hearts belong respectively to a young
man and woman. The twain owning these
hearts shook the dust of the rural village
from off their sandals few days ago aud
vent to Pittsburgh to get married. No
preacher in that city could be found willing
to consent to weave the silken tie. They
then ViSited in succession; and for the same
PURPOSE, Greensburg, John6town, Lorefto,
Altoona, and Tyrone. 1t is possible that
they visited other places than those enumer-
ated in the above category. However this
may be, the result was uniformly the same
wherever they went-they could not get
married, and were therefore obliged perforcC
TO go back whence they came with no visions
looming mp before them of love in cottage
and baby jumper in the spare-roon. Both
the parties are represented TO be earnest,
virtuous and highly respectable. But the
parents of the party of the iirst part, it seems,
looked upon the contemplated union with
to their energetic action, made manifest
through the medium of a third party, that
no matrimonial alliance was effected. This

IHE w WORKINGS OF THE BANKRUPT LAW
"A Case IN POint.-Not only because of
the information contained in the following
article from the Philadelphia Ledger, but
because the gentleman whose case is cited
to point moral and adorn 4 talo' is well
known in this part of the country, having
long travelled it as notion pedlar and wool
buyer, we transfer the item in full to our
local department
The case of Lance Walker, recently tried
in the United States Court, is one proof of
the efficiency of our bankruptcy laws Here
was man who after a tolerably fair start
in business, seems to have determined to
break with all the laws that govern society
The jury had found that he had concealed
his property, or rather that of his partners
and creditors, and wasted their money in an
effort to get divorce. 1t is no small salts
factiOn to merchants to know that tie i'm
munity to honest debtors does not apply to
the ease of man who wilfGlly and fraudu-
lently conceals his assets, and leaves 10 them
the poor consolation of a resort to law, which
simply takes more money and puts the debt
or under no additional penalty. Walker
seems to possess an obstinacy of purpose in
pursuit of his own euds, that applied to good
objects, might command high degree of
SUCCESS. For nearly two years he has pre-
ferred a Jail to compliance with the request
Of his creditors, his assIgnees in bankruptcy.
and even his osyn counsel, to tell them what
had become of his assets. In old times this
would have ended in possibly sixty days
imprisonment in our county prison and
discharge under the State insOlvent laws
Now, he has stood the test of a jury trial
and the issue has been decided against him.
At least one other such case stands for trial
in the same court, hut the very frequency Of
such proceedings shows that the United
States bankrupt laws, fairly administered,
enable honest debtors to get a discharge,
and prevent dishonest men from trying to
defeat the law and justice

Mr.. George Hawk, of Allegheny town

Mr.. George Hawk, of Allegheny town
ship, says the Greensburg Democrat, met
with terrible accident on Friday last,
while engaged in hauling hay. AT noon,
while Mr.. Hawk and his son were unhitch-
ing the horses. his son started with one of
the horses to the stable, leaving his father
to bring the other After the boy had put
away the horse, and had waited some time
on his father to come, he returned to the
barn to see what was wrong. Upon enter
ing the barn a horrible sight was there
presented, one that battles description.
His father was prostrated upon the floor
insensible cut and bruised about the head,
and covered with blood, and the thumR on
the left hand torn off, with the tendons
drawn out from the elbow. Mr.. Hawk,
at last accounts, was still lnsensihle and
living i'm n very critical condition. But
little hopes are entertained Of his recovery.
No one has been able TO account for or tell
how this sad and terrible affair happened.
