/>RObbery.-Tbe Duncannon Record says !:
On Tuesday night at about 10 o'clock, some
person or persons broke in and robbed the
gun shop of James Black of two shot guns.
We learn that the thieves did attempt to
go into the house at the kitchen door, but
were frustrated in their plans. Rumor has
it that a regular band of outlaws are now
concealed in the mountains, with the plain
purpose of committing robbery on inoffen-
sive persons, and probably incendiarism,
let all be on their guard.
On the same night the shoemaker shop
Of William DePugh's was broken into and
robbed of a pair of boots, rasp and sever
al. smaller articles. The robbers after
leaving Mr.. DePugh shop, went to the
house of Mr.. Joseph Smith, stealing sever
al hams, lot of fruit jars, and large
"mess' of pickles.

Trouble in the Peace Union Camp.

Last week, Mr. BIS hogs strayed out on
the road, and got into "Peace Union" yard
through an open gate, doing some little
damage. Then "P. o." drove the hogs
into his barn-yard, to shut them up, but
the fence being bad, they broke through
into the cornfield, which SO raised the
spirit of "P. u" that he set his dogs on
the hog and stoning it, injuring it badly,
then he threw it out over the fence, killing
it then and there. After Mr.. b., heard
that his hog was killed, he talked to p. u,
about it, and got but little satisfaction.
Then P. u, took the hog home and buried
it in his dung-heap right beside the public
road and the stencil is anything but agree
able to those who pass the road. AS the
citizens of this valley are all peaceable and
quiet, nothing was yet done in the matter
matter, but they would advise Peace
Union not to go too far or he will provoke
them to wrath, and the law will take its
course. NEW GERMANY.

Two prisoners named Francis and
Charles Speelman, brothers, dug them
selves out of our Jail on Wednesday night
of last week. With a case knife and chisel
they made hole in the wall of their cell
sufficiently large to enable them to creep

bed ticking, they let themselves to the
ground with the aid of another rope, to
which was attached graphing irons, they
scaled the high stone wall, and took to their
heels. The first-named is feet 10 inches
in height, 20 years of age, with light hair

age, of stout build, 8 feet three inches in

town aged about four years, made, on
Wednesday, an almost miraculous escape
from sudden death. The child, while cross
ing the Pennsylvania Railroad track, was
struck by the engine Of freight train bound
east, and pitched off the track. She fell
Immediately outside of the rail, where
either because stunned, frightened, or great
ly self-possessed, she lay quietly until the
train was stopped, which was not done till
about the half of long train had passed
by. Every wheel of the passing cars touch
ed the body of the child and the circum-
stance is one of those marvellous escapes
we occasionally meet, which would indi-
cate the interference of higher power.
Strange, beyond few scratches, the imper-
lied girl escaped injury.-Marietta Register
An ElOpement. Altoona Tribune
says During the past twenty-four hours
this city has been rife with rumors concern
ing the elopement of well-known citizen
in the person of John M. Bush, merchant
who does business at No. 1894 Seventh av-
enue, with young Westmoreland county
girl named Alice Hutchison. Mr.. Bush
and wife resided in the same building in
which the store was located. They have
been married for the past nineteen years
during which time the family has not been
blest with any olive branches. About one
year since Alice Hutchison was employed
as a domestic in the Bush family, and i'm
mediately thereafter an intimacy sprang up
between her and Mr.. Bush which culmina-
ted in Mrs. Bush driving Alice from the
premises. While she remained AN inmate
of the family it is alleged that j. M. B.
bought Alice an organ for which he paid
the sum of $175,OO at another time gold
ring, for which he paid $15, and at other
times articles valued at various sums from
So to 500.
After she had been driven from the
house Alice returned to her home in West
moreland county, but kept up an uninter-
rupted correspondence with Mr.. Bush, un-
til day or two since, when he packed up
his other shirt in his little satchel, and
meeting Alice at the depot, the twain left
for where the woodbine twineth. Previous
to taking his departure Mr. Bush had lit
tie interview with his banker and drew out
all the available money that he had depos-
tied with him. He doubtless expects to re-
main absent for some time as he took the
precaution to delegate to friend with
the power Of an attorney to look after his
business relations. Mr.. Bush is man who
has but one arm, and has enjoyed the rep
utation of being gastraight-forward business
man, and honorable in all his dealings. 1t
is said, however, that his domestic relations
were of a very unpleasant nature.

The Vice President Unhappy.

Vice President Wilson. during the
few hours he was in Washing ton,
ventured to observe that the proba-
bility was that the Democrats would
carry two Of the Congressional dis
tricts in Massachusetts This was
before he went to the White Honse,
but it would not be fair to say tnat i:
was on this account that the Presi-
dent desired to see him, although, to
be sure, the President did, on the
same day, see number of other per-
sons ofmuch less consequence than
tho Vice President. The politicians
say that Grant never did have any
use for Wil.on, and that since the
latter declared against the third term,
it has SO happened that, although
they have several times been in com
pany together, the President has
never had time to interchange a
word with Mr.. Wilson. However
all this may be, there is considerable
gtumbling among the Radical poll
ticians over the dismal view the Vice
President took of affairs in his own
State, and they say if he could not
hold his tongue. he had much better
keep away from Washington.-

Discovery of Horrible Murder

/ One of the most horrible murders
on record was prepetra Led near An
derson, Indiana. On the 'Mawson
farm lived Mrs. Mawson, her son
Albert, or abby as he was more
frequently called, and elder son,
Thomas. For some time Albert has
been missed by the neighbors, and
his mother was always ready with
some plausible tale concerning his
absence volunteered information,
indeed. before being questioned.
Sometimes she represented him as
having gone to Cleveland, sometimes
to England, and again to California.
Occasionlly she offered for sale some
article formerly belonging to her son.
A suit of clothes, nearly new, was
taken back to the merchant of whom
they were purchased. and sold for a
small sum. A ring and some other
little trinkets were likewise sold.
These sales were always accompanied
by some kind of a story. Albert
couldn't take them with him, or he
had left them for her to sell, or she
had to raise money, and desired to
sell what Albert would never need.
She refused to sleep alone, and she
passed her nights with the neighbors
when no one could be found to stay
with her in the farm house. She be-
came SO haggard that the neighbors
noticed it. A peculiar object of her
solitude was an old well on the prem
lses. She would call persons to see
how clear the water was. Finally
the well was found choked up with
stones and loose boards. Suspicion
having been aroused by the conduct
OF Mrs. Mawson. she and her son
Thomas We're arrested. When the
we'll was cleared out the body of AL
bert was discovered. Both the ac-
oused were then committed to Jail,
and-a singular instance of a guilty
conscience each feared to be left al
one, and southt permission to burn
their lamps during the night, and it
was granted.

Among the reasons which hay,

Among the reasons which have
been urged for calling a Convention
none strikes US with more force than
the defects of our present judicial
eystem and the way in which the
Legislature is hampered in trying
to remedy some of its practical
evils. The act of 1874 amenda>
tory of certain sections of Battles
Revisal has somewhat relieved the
Superior Courts by removing from
the Docket large number of the
more unimportant criminal cases,
but it is much to be doubted wheth.
er it is not grievous wrong to
the citizen especially of the more
ignorant and poorer class, to put him
into the hands Of an ordinary Justice
ofthe Peace with little knowledge of
and still less regard for, the formal
tiles of criminal procedure which
have been devised by the Law max
ers and the courts for the protec-
tion of the innocent part of the
community. 1t seems to be consid-
erel by many that it is y matter If
little Importance in the case of
petty offenders that they are thrust
into magistrates Office and fined
and imprisoned with but small re>
gard to the decent conduct of their
trial, 80 that by this means the
offender is punished; that the
quicker and more informal the trial.
the better and that it is but lost
labor to inquire strictly into the
circumstances and degrees of his
guilt. Now though it was an abb
solute necessity for US to have some
relief for our Superior Court, that
the important civil business of the
country might not be forever impe
ded by accumulating indictments /
for petty misdemeanors and felon, !
les yet in the name of common ius> ,
tlce, IN the name Of the unlearned
and poorer class of our citizens, 10th ,
white and cclored, We protest against
q constitution which makes the
present resort to the Justices of |
the Peace the only means ofrelief. |
We do not mean to imply that any
abuse of this power on the part of
any Justice of Edgecombe has come
to our knowledge. We are opposing
the principle of the thing.
1t ought to be in the power of
the Legislature to establish county
courts for the trial of petty crimi,
nal cases. Let the Justices of the
Peace have this Jurisdiction. That
1s all we'll enough; but let them
