FIRE NEAR NEwTowN- Two Unz1pREN
PERIsH ISsrHE FLAMEs.on Saturday Of
hast week, at about one o'clock in tho after
noon the barn Of Mr.. Stacy Hainest stu
ated between Yardleyyile and Newtowp, and
about three miles distant from the latter place,
was entirely destroyed by fire. The family Of
Mr. John Bennett, who occupied and farmcd
the place bad been engaged in discussing the
breaking UP Of a hen which wanted to set
and suggestion was made by one of the ell
ders of the family that the best mode for
breaking up the hens setting would be to fire
her nest whereupofS two Of Mr.. Bennett's
little sons, aged and q years respectively,
who were present and heard the conversation,
probably thought it a capital idea, and await
ed their chance to carry it into execution
Shortly after dinner the family with the ex-
ception Of Mrs. Bennett and her two sons,
left the premises. Shortly after their absence
the children also were missing, and chair
was shortly afterward found placed under the
mantle-picce within reach of the match-safe
On going to the door, she discovered smoke
issuing from the barn, and thereupon rushed
for the barn and sought to gain admittance
through a small door, their usual place of en-
trance, but the flames rushed out to such an
extent that she was forced to leave. She then
fastened to the large barn-doors at the rear of
the building, but could mot open them, but in
a few moments man, one of their neighbors,
came to her assistance, and the doors were
forcedopcn, The fire by this time was sweeping
everything before it, and upon opening the
doors the flames and heat rushed out in tor
rents, knocking the man down and compelling
them to retreat from before the flames and
heat, which were intense. Then was an awful
spectacle presented to their view. The chill
dren could be seen ON the threshing floor
climbing upon the moving machine, encircled
by huge winding-sheet of flame, piteously
calling FOR help to the terror-stricken mother,
and were soon seen to fall and were hidden
from view. The agony of the mother was al
most uncomfortable. The barn, withsa large
number of farming implements and the crops
of the season, was soon consumed by the de-
structive element. The barn was insured
for $1,000, the crops were not insured. After
the fire had subsidized they made immediate
search for the burned and charred remains of
the unfortunate little ones, but very little
signs of them could be found. We hear that
not more than a small pan full of bones
could be found to tell of their sad and
terrible fate. This is a terrible stroke for the
bereaved parents, and we hear that the moth.
cr is almost in state of insanity over the
fate Of her children.

For TIE RECORD.

For lie RECORD:
We have just been examining some of Mr..
Lewis Worthingtof's handiwork. He is a
resident of PENIS Park, Pa, and is a natural
artist. He has finished very striking like
ness Of 'sAbraham Lincoln, and we cannot
sufficiently commend the skill and ability of
the young artist. He is a young man and has
never had any education in the profession
further than his own talents have carried him ;
but he has caught the spirit and style Of some
of the most experienced artists admirably,
and should devote his time and talents to this
profession, and he would probably in few
years be chased among the first and BEST
He has a fine collection of other pictures
which he has drawn, any Of which would be
no discredit to some of our professional artists.
No one could examine his drawings, without
pronouncihg his efforts works Of extraordi-
nary merit. Mr.. Worthington is possessed
with an unusual amount Of artistic skill, and
all he needs is practice to become perfect =
His works consist of landscapes principally,
such as a g Moonlight Scene, y" Scenes among
the Andes,'' view of the "Chain Bridge
Mills and surroundings, &c. He is now ex-
ecuting scene along the Neshaminy creek,
at point where the rocks rise almost perpen-
dicularly for 100 feet, and from its present APP
pearance, it will, when finished, be very beau
tiful. If every person is born for some call
ing, surely Mr.. Viva intended for that Of
an artist. Still he persists in farming and
staying at the 2 homestead, and only devotes
his spare time to his pictures.
He has the best wishes Of his wide circle
Of friends, and we sincerely hope that he will
perseverc and become one Of Americas noted
artists. Respectfully,
| WE, Us & Co.

AN OUTLAW CAPTuRED.-A notorious
character named William Shockency, who has
become a terror to the inhabitants living along
the Delaware in Durham and Nockamixon
townships, was finally run down and captured
by constable William M. Rapp, of Durham, on
Thursday morning last, on Wyker's Island, in
the Delaware, near Kintnerviiie. Reaching
the river opposite the island and finding his
pursuers We're close upon him, he made an
attempt 10 break the lock from a batteau to
cross the river with. Failing in this he
plunged into the water and swan to the Is
land, and running across to the opposite side
he attempted to swim to the New Jersey side
of the river. But finding the water too rapid,
as it was about the middle Of Simms Falls,
he was forced to return to the Island. There
the constable, assisted by one or two men,
succeeded in capturing him aftera desperate
resistance, in which the constable was forced
to fire several times at him with his revolver
wounding him slightly in two or three places
about the head The crime for which
young Shockency has been arrested this time
was of too serious a nature to let pass, as

the past. It appears that on Saturday, the
18th inst, young Shockency, who is only 10
years Of age, though old in crime, went to the
house Of a Mrs. Watson, an old lady rs years
Of age, living near Bridgeton, and attempted
to commit an outrage upon her person, and
finally knocked her down and dragging her
out of her house made an attempt to throw
her into the, canal. We also learn that, on
Tuesday night last tlleyoung scamp attempted
to outrage little girl, nine years of age,
daughter of Mr.. Ripple, living in Nockamixon.
There are also reports of several other out
RACES that he has attempted, besides many
other acts Of robbing and stealing at different
times within a year or two. 1t is hoped that
those who have been his victims will now
that he is in the clutches Of the law, come for
ward and enter their complaints and assist in
melting out justice to one who has too long
been a terror to his more peaceably disposed
neighbofs. Constable Rapp is entitled to tho
thanks Of the community for his perseverance
in effecting this arrest. Shockency was
brought to DoyIestown and lodged In jail by
Constable Rapp, ON Saturday. Bucks Co. In

SOME BE STORIES Sre!.ED..-W learn
from Mr. Hiram Scarborough, the much. re-
spected toll collector of the New Hope Della
ware Bridge, that there has been constant
increase since he has had charge of the bust
ness in the amount of tolls received from year
to year for foot passengers and vehicles. We
further learn from him that the receipts from
feet tolls for the quarter ending July LIST, was
fifty-four dollars more than for the correspond
ing quarter of last year. A
\ Theses figures squelch some of the huge
stories told by the whisl1ey men as to the large
number who cross the bridge to New Hope
for their drinks and the great amount OF
money which is spent for liquors in that town
by citizens of Lambertyille. Allowing moth
ing for the regular increase mentioned, and
granting that the entire increase of travel is
owing to the "dryness of this city, it would
show that 104 persons visited New Hope every
week for their drinks, eraabout IS each day.
mot counting Sundays. We cannot tell how
much poison the average whiskey drinker is
likely to take in in visit to New Hope, but
putting it at five drinks "a very large estimate)
tic uOttf keepers Jnefc place Ill Jifeir UfliS %
per day, $54 per week, or $2S0S per year as
the result Of "no whiskey" in Lambertville
The stories that the New Hope landlords take
in from $50 to $50 per day land even much
greater sums) as the result of the refusal to
license the hotels and saloons in this city, are
therefore quite improbable. 1t is much more
probable thatsthe sum taken is less, rather
than greater, than our estimate.
Any man who has his eyes open and who
is not led by his interest to prevaricate about
it, must acknowledge that in this city there is
much less rum drinking than formerly, and
that there has been a marked improvement in
the order of our city and the freedom from
drunken and rowdy demonstrations at night.
We know of some three or four cases in our
city where men have been kept from intern
perance by not having the temptation put in
their way their families are better provided
for, and their money is being put to a better
use than for the purchase of the fluid that
disgraces and destroys. These cases alone
would be enough to justify the present state
of things; but we doubt not that there are
dozens of similar cases that we know nothing
about.
