A CERTAIN handsome young lady OF
Pottsville has the misfortune to he possess
ed of a brother who has formed and avowed
an intention to infict violence upon any
person of the masculine gender who may
have the presumption TO go to see the
young lady. catering his sisters room one
evening recently ne was surprised to sec a
well-dressed man sitting coolly there in 4
chair, taking things as il to the manor born.
Remembering bis intention to punch the
head OF any fellow bold enough to invade
those premises, and being a man of his
word, the brother advanced up to the stran-
ger, and without SO much as saying s'by
your leave" struck him powerful blow in
the face with his fist, following this dem
onstration up with a kick worthy of a mule.
The unfortunate lover seemed TO make an
effort to arise, but instead fell prone upon
his face and lay as still as death. The hot
headed assailant, terrified at the result of
his rage, buried Ills face in his hands and
exclaimed: :. Ny God, have killed him ~
Overcome with remorse and terror he stoop-
ed down to lift up the PROSTATE figure, and
was intensely delighted, and at the same
time disgusted, to discover that he expend-
ed his rage upon dummy, which his mis-
chievous sister had prepared to experiment
upon his disposition with. He wasn't at all
pleased, moreover, to lind out that he had
been watched and all his actions carefully
noted.-Er

A SAD case of accidental shooting
took place last Saturday, about four
miles from Altoona. A man named
Joseph L. BraWn mistook another hunt
er for a deer, and shot him, killing him
instantly. Brawn, on discovering that
he had killed fellowman hastened to
Altoona and in an alarmed state OF
mind delivered himself to Alderman
Pofen5erger, who at once summoned
a jury and went to the mountain, OBJ
tanned the body of the unfortunate
hunter, brought it to Altoona, where
the inquest was held. The Altoona
Tribune says:
At the inquest but one witness was
sworn and examined and that was Mr.
Brawn, the man who did the shooting.
His evidence was substantially as. fol-
lows: {" went out hunting between
eight and nine O'Clock in the morning
there was nobody with me /; | had no
acquaintance with the deceased, sup
posing him to be deer a. distance of
seventy or one hundred yards | shot at
him and killed him; saw something
move at the top of the bushes; as 1t
was black it must have been his hat,
and l shot at it l approached to see
whether had killed the deer, when l
saw the mans feet l could 60 no fur
tier and said to myself--"My God,
what have | done 2" then went down
the mountain to see my father in Law,
Mr.. Peter Empfeldl, told him what L
had done, and asked him what should
do; he told me to give myself up to the
officers went to Alderman MeCOr-
mick's Office. but he wasn't in; then
went to Alderman Pcfenberger and
gave myself up"
The jury then, after brief consult
alton, returned the following verdict;
"IDquest held December 9th, 1874, on
the body of John Thompsor. The jury
find that deceased came to his death
from rifle shot at the hand. Of Jo-
seph +. Brawn; and further that the
shooting was purely accidental; and
we hereby exonerate the said Joseph L.
Brawn from all blame in the premises" l."
Deceased was a resident of Blair
Furnace, some three miles east Of Al
toona. He was unmarried.
