A Mysterious AfTair.-The inhabitants
of Towanda-particularly those in the First
Ward-have been greatly agitated over an
affair which occurred near the house of
Gen. Patton on Main street, which was
partially burned.a short time SINCE About
1 o'clock on Tuesday night some of the
people in that vicinity were awakened by
an altercation between several men in the
street, during which one Of the parties was
felled to the earth, and Immediately his as
saulters fled, but soon after returned and
carried the man off toward the river. The
matter would probably not have attracted
further attention but for the finding, on the
succeeding day, a little way from the spot
where the above described affair occurred,
large pool Of blood, evidently caused by
the profuse bleeding of something-man or
large animal. From here all the way
down to the edge of the river drops of
blood could be traced. AS soon as these
facts became known, there was of course,
great excitement in the nighborhood, and
the authorities asked to investigate. No
explanation of the mysterious circumstan-
ces has yet been arrived at, and they have
given rise to all kinds of stories, many be-
lieving a murder most foul has been COM
mitted and others attaching to it no more
magnitude than street brawl. 1t is the
duty of the proper authorities that the
matter be investigated imm ediately and as
thoroughly as possible. Towanda Journal.

We do not object to man stealing our locals
and not awarding us the proper credit but we
do object to the course pursued by the Bloomfield
Times in perslstently copying our locals, and
credting them TO the Democrat and Register.
This week they have used our item in reference
to Mr., John Bearings adventure with an ugly
ram, and credited II TO the above named paper
Independent.
Well we feel bad about this thing too and
will apologize to the Democrat g. Register if
such apology will wipe out the great wrong
done. In fact, we are so terribly annoyed,
that we are almost tempted for the future
to use others locals, as some papers we
might mention do with ours, which is to
take them without any credit. By that
means such annoying mistakes would be
rendered impossible.

%>Teachers' Examinations Wright
held his examination ON last Tuesday, in
the Borough School House. Below are the
questions. Definitions, not often taken up,
were taken up here. 1t would be q benefit
to have them always taken up and to re-
quire them in each examination held In the

being given beforehand. 1t is hard to
avoid words with double spelling, such as
pickax and WAGNER, which have also the
other forms Of pickaxe and waggoner, but
il both spellings are accepted In such cases,
there need be no difficulty. In like man
ner the Prof stated that any method Of
grammatical analysis, whether Kerl's or
the more recent one by Fewsmith, or any
other method by any recognized author was
understood by him and allowed. This is
as it should be and will be good news to
many, as VIII also be the returning of the

THE INDIANS.
The secretary Of the Interior Proposes
Amendments 90 the Indian Act
Of 1sS1-SynOpsfs of the
Document.

WAsHINGToN, February 4.-The secretary
representatives proposed amendments to the
Indian intercourse act OF 1885 designed to se-
cure the Indians In any locality against the
liquor traffic. 1t provides heavy penalties
against any person, including Indians, who
shall sell, exchange, give, barter
or dispose OF any spirituOus liquors or wine
TO any Indian under the charge of any In
dian superintendent, or Indian agent or 10
any Indian not citizen Of the Uufted States
within such Jurisdiction
General Harvey, whose name was such ter
ror to the hostile Indians years agO,was before
the house committee on military al
fairs to-day, and was asked TO give his
views In reference to Indian matters He
gave 1t as his opinion that If the Indians were
treated fairly there would never be any dim
cultleS with them. He had known but two
instances In which they had ever violated
treaty stlpulations, and In these two instances
the Indians were to be excused, for the
treaties had grown old before they were
sought TO be Inforced by the government, and
the chiefs and head men who had made
them were all dead. Troubles with Indians
were principally caused by fraudulent agents
and by whisky dealers. He had never known
an indian agent who had not grown rich in
Offlce except one. On being asked how Whis-
lEy sellers could be suppressed, he answered
IN Vt they should be hanged or shot
by the nearest military officer. He would
have the officer take that responsibility. He
was decidedly OF the opinion that the man
sgement of tho Indians would be much more
efficient and honestly conducted by army
officers than by civilians, unless army officers
had changed very much since he knew them.
