Sumner Clark-he of Topographic and tele-
graphic fame, more or less-has gone hence

| Aaron Hall and William Lucas, of
Unionvills, Centre county, went out hunt
ing together on Friday last. but subsequent
ly separated in the woods. Soon after Hall
thought he espied bear in some laurel
bushes and fred his gun at the object, but
from the groaning which followed he became
convinced that he had shota human being
and to his utter horror he found on investi-
CATION that he had shot and killed his friend
Lucas
While Mr.. Charles Flick, Of Allegheny
township, the newly-elected Poor House
Director, was on his way to that institution
on Monday last, party of tramps suddenly
confronted him, one or two of whom tore the
rear curtain off his carriage, and crawling
in struck him on the head with a club after
which they plodded on at a rapid rate pass
irg: Through this place and escaping before
Mr.. Flick had time to get out a warrant for
their arrest
Barney vogei, of Barr township against
whom true bill was found by the last
Grand Jury for selling liquor without IL
conss, was on Wednesday last arrested in
this place by Sheriff Raumer, after a very
lively chase, and com united to Jail, from
whence he was soon after liberated op bail
for term of two days with the understand
ing that he would return at the end of that
time with the necessary bonds for his ap-
pearance at Court ts answer.
-Wedon't think he wanted to chsel any
body, or bore them either, as those are not
his style, but it is none the less true that our
legal friend Johnston was Roberting-no,
bobbing-around town the other day with a
chisel and anger in his hand trying to find
somebody who could identify said articles,
they having been left behind by the parties
who broke into and robbed the freight de-
pot at Kaylor's Station not long since. Mr..

TO the perpetrators, he being one of the So
licitors in this county for the Pa r. r.

bria County will be delivered at Carroll
town on the evening of Thanksgiving day
(Thursday;next, Nov. 26th,) for the benefit
of the Carroiltown Literary Association, by
r. l.. Johnston, Esq, of this place.. No
man in the county is better posted than Mr.
Johnston on local history, and none there
are more capable Of interesting and instruct
ing an audience on any topic with which he
is so familiar as the one in question. The
no one.should begrudge::the paltry sum of Is
cents for the sake of enjoying it.
On Monday night the First National
Bank of fCurwensville, six miles above Clear
field, was entered by robbers, and a blast of
powder applied TO a safe without the large
vault; which, when discharged, blew the
large plate glass front of the bank into atoms
The noise was so great that it aroused the
cashier who lived on the opposite side of the
street, who, in company with his son,
paired to the bank building, but only in time
TO see the burglars make their escape. There
was So, 900 in the safe, besides quantity of
notes, but nothing was carried away, as the
alarm was SO great that it soon attracted a
large crowd.

A young German named List, an en-
ploye in the Railroad shops Altoona, was0n
Tuesday last arrested in that city upon the
charge Of forgery, preferred by Mr. God frey
Wolf, dealer in clothing. 1t appears that
the young man obtained possession of cor
tificate Of deposit, duly endorsed, in favor
OF John Engls, for the sum Of S7b, upon the
strength of wbieh List purchased a S25 over
coat from Wolf aud received the balance in
money. Soon after the clothing dealer dis
covered that the name of the party in whose
favor the certificate was issued had been
forged, and hence the arrest of List, who, if
the facts be as stated, will doubtless find his
way to the Penitentiary after tho next term
of court in that county.
The extension Of the Western Maryland
Railroad to Johnstown, says the Altoona
Tribune, is now being agitated. The link
suggested is from Hagerstown to Johnstown,
with the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad a distance of fully one hundred
miles through Franklin, Fulton, Bedford,
and Cambria counties, Pennsylva-
mia. The route surveyed, though noun
famous and costly, would greatly shorten
tho distance between Baltimore and all
western points. 1t is estimated that ten
millions of dollars would construct the road,
and fully equip it for paying business,
which 1t is confidently predicted by its PRO
iectors would follow Efforts will doubt
less be made to induce the city of Baltimore
to provide the ways and means.
