Teacher.
The case Of d. d. Williams,
Cashier of the First National Bank of
Conneautville, was tried last week in
the u. S. District Court, at Pittsburgh,
for misapplying the funds of the bank,
and completely in the robbery of the
same. The best of legal talent was
secured, and every effort made TO clear
Williams Of the charges, but on Mon
day the Jury brought in verdict of
"guilty," on the first count of the in.
dictment, and he was remanded to jail
to await sentence. This is indeed a
sad case. Mr.. Williams held the posi-
ton Of cashier of that bank from the
time its was organized until he was ar
rested IN February last, and was al
ways looked upon as an honor able,
straightforward business man. Indeed,
so popular was he, that in 1870 he,
although democrat, was elected a
Member of Assembly, in the strong
Republican county of Crawford. Up
to the time of his arrest, no one in that
section was more trusted and esteemed
than he. But he lived beyond his
means, and, according to the evidence,
used the funds of the bank for his
own private expenses. This is les
son for all, aud enc which a great
many must learn, to live within their
means, and if they will not learn it by
repeated warnings, they will, sooner
or later, learn it as Williams is now
doing.
Geo. Bush, of this place, last
week commenced work for NJ. j. Bond,
Of Bear Creek. On Thursday last, he
was bringing los. to the mill on a
car, himself riding on the log, when
the track gave way, throwing George
of, and the log on him, across his
breast. Charles Gayetty was at once
sent here for medical assistance and DIR.
Blaine started imediately to see what
could be done for the injured man. 1t
was reported that both his legs and
his back were broken, and he was not
expected to live half an hour. The
Dr. came back the same evening, and
reported no bones broken, and that
Bush would get along all right. On
Saturday he was in town, walking
around, but looking badly. The
weight of the log had squeezed his
eyes nearly out of their sockets, and
they were badly bloodshot, and were
both blacked as if he had been hit.
1t was narrow escape, and Georges
numerous friends are glad it was no
worse,
