AChapter OF Crimes.

The Scranton IImes of last week, Mon
day, gives the following list of crimes and
accidents, that occurred in Luzern county
in one night:
At the Carbondale mines, about two miles
below Carbondale, a man was found on
Sunday morning nailed up to beam in a
lonely and unfrequented place. He had
been nailed up as one would tack up the
skin of an animal 10 dry, the nails being
driven through the sleeves Of the coat at
the wrist, and the legs Of his pantaloons at
the ankles. He had been left there to hang
and die, probably, but was accidentally
found and released. The name Of this
man is unknown to us. ~
Patrick Padden, miner employed at
Goal Brook colliery was found on Sunday
morning last, upon Dundaff street in Car
bOndale, badly pounded upon the head and
side, and with two bullet holes in his head.
When found his head was frozen to the
ground, the head having dragged in a pool
Of blood and water and congealed. He
was otherwise mutilated, but not quite
dead. 1t seems that be had been quarrel
ling on Saturday afternoon with some
parties at Coal Brook He died yesterday
afternoon.
Michael M'Nulty was found dead on Sum
day upon the railroad bridge near the
"look out' in Carbondale. He had evil
dently been put there. He worked at the
Erie. breaker near Carbondale and was
about twenty years old.
Near the same place Michael Bigland,
who had been seen the day before with a
suit of dress-up clothes on, WAS found on
Sunday with an old suit Of miners cloth
ing, consisting of shirt and pantaloons, and
his throat terribly gashed. He was moi
dead, and physicians having been summon
ed. and his throat sewed up, be is still
alive with some hopes Of ultimate recovery
lie was taken homo.
A slate boss at the Erie breaker, name
not ascertained, was waylaid on Saturda,
night, had his arm broken, and was other
wise injured.
All this bloody and mnrderous work wa
done on Saturday night or early on Sun
day morning, but by whom it is not known

Caught in His own Trap.

Charles Perrin, of Detroit, wanted to
marry, but the girl wasn't willing. Chas.
thought he would fixit, and so went to the
house with bottle Of acid in his pocket,
prepared to spoil her beauty if she did not
give him favorable answer.
There was no one at home but the girl
and her mother, and Ferrin first wanted
the girl to take walk with him. She re-
fused to go, and he asked to see her alone.
She also refused this request, and the lover
had just got ready to draw the bottle from
his pocket, when something bit him. He
thonght it was dog, but it wasn't. The
cork had worked ont of the bottle, and his
coat tails were turning brick color at the
rate of yard minute. The acid wasn't
content with the coat tails, but struck out
for the flesh, and in about minute the
young man was darcing around the house
as if to escape bullet.
Shouting and whooping, he got out of
doors and threw off most of his clothing
and rolled in the mud, and it was some
time before any one could find out whether
he had snakes in his boots or had sat down
on brad-awl He was so badly burnt that
two men had to help him to his boarding
house, where physician dressed his burns

THE importance of one vote is shown by

publican, by majority of one An error
OF one vote has been discovered in the re.
turns from the borough of Emlenton, in
favor of the republican candidate, making
atie-3,139 votes each. The error, how
over, was not discovered in time to prevent
the certificate of election from being given
to Park, which will admit him to his seat
ih the House, when his opponent will prob
ably contest his right to the office and a
new election win probably be held. This
will be ordered by the Speaker Of the house,
and cannot be held until some time in Feb
ruary next.

Collecting Sea Moss.

A new industry in this country is that of
collecting and drying sea moss, which is
followed in the town of Kittery, Me. The
moss is collected in dories, in the neighbor-
hood of Whites Island and Whales Back.
Two men go in each boat, and with rakes
made for the purpose, tear the moss from
the rocks at half-tide. 1t is then taken to
the beaches, where large beds are construct
ed by taking up all the large rocks and
leaving only surface of the pebble stones
These bed contain from ten to three hun
dred barrels. If there is no rain, sea-water
has to be thrown on the moss, and the sun
bleaches it from the dark green color, first
to beautiful pink, and then to clear
white. 1t has to be turned occasionally,
and made the same as hay. After it is
thoroughly dried it is packed in barrels and
shipped to Boston, where it finds a ready
sale at six cents per pound.

Steamboat Disaster.

A number of lives were lost on the 18th
inst, by the sinking of the steamboat ''Em-
pire" while at the levee in New Orleans,
where she had just arrived. A portion Of
the passengers had already gone ashore, OF
the loss would have been greater. Up to
this time no bodies, except those of Cap
tain Jansrean's daughter, aged eighteen,
and young boy, with three others, have
been recovered. Mr.. d. II. Perret, pas
senger, gives the opinion that the boat was
overloaded and parted in the centre.
The divers of the bell boat Usage, on ex-
amining the wreck of the Empire next
morning, saw wedged in the freight on
deck some ten Or twelve deck hands. The
divers were unable to gain admission into
the state rooms on account Of the obstruc-
tions by freight. It Is now believed that
the loss Of life will reach between thirty
aud forty.

Death in the PnlpIt.

The Washington Chronicle of the Sth
inst, says:
=" A scene was enacted yesterday during
the services of the Methodist Episcopal
Mission Church, on Twelfth street east,
near Pennsylvania avenue, which will never
be forgotten by the witnesses thereto.
The church was thronged as usual for the
morning service, which commenced at II
o'clock, and when the pastor, Rev. Milton E.
Hysore, entered the pulpit he announced to
the congregation that he was suffering very
much from inflammation of the throat, but
proceeded at once with his sermon ON the
subject Word Of Life. He was about half
through his discourse when he suddenly re-
marked, Brethren, feel very SICK" and
clapping his right hand to his forehead as if
in intense pain, exclaimed, "Jesus, save
me, save me now,'" at the same time stag
gering back falling in half-reclining po-
sition on sofa. Many in the audience
rushed forward to assist him, foremost
among whom was his wife, who, lifting
his head to her shoulder, asked, "Mr.
Hysore, do you feel sick % when he replied
Yes" and sank back unconscious imne-
diateIy. His teeth became clenched, and,
after dreadful muscular contortions, he
breathed his last.

$1,000 in a Rusty Pot.

The people of North Paris, Me-, are con-
siderably excited over the supposed discov-
cry of a pot containing $1,000 in gold and
silver coin. About the 7th of September,
Alanson Briggs and son of Mechanics
Falls, went to that place in the night and
dug hole in certain field, but left, hav-
ing thrown back the earth and placed somO
brush over it. Having returned in the
night, recently, they found marks as OF a
rusty pot drawn from the excavation, and
il is known that the owner of the field had
been to the spot in their absence. The
Briggses think that he got the coin. Mr..
Briggs declares that he has visited the spot
for years to get the treasure, and residents
of the town say that trunk containing
money disappeared from a store at the vii
lage about 30 years ago.
