the fraud. BE traced the supposed Katie
to clearinghouse, and, after a long eff

duce the gauzy dresses she wore at the
manifestations. The production of the
latter, with a large amount of jewelry, ETC.,
that had been presented to Katie at seances,
induced Robert Dale Owen and DIR. Child,
two leading spiritualists of this city, to
publicly repudiate the swindle.

A R.su Act AVN F.r., Coysr-

A RASH ACT AND FATAL CoNsE-
ourscE.-In our last issue We made brief mention
Of horrid accident which occurred at I. G..
Heims's saw-mill, about one mile and half west
Of this, at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, I'd
inst, in which Mr.. jacob Cruthcrs, of Bells
Mills, Blair county, was sawed entirely in two In
two or three seconds, and are now enabled TO give
the particulars. We arc induced to refer to this
case again, not through disposition to aggravato
tho mind with tho relation to such sickening
sights, but that 1t may be warning to others en-
ployed in the dangerous ayocations Of all kinds,
in this region, where tho loss Of human life has
become SO alarmingly fearful, and where wc can
trace so many Of these fatal consequences to the
reckless acts Of the mangled victims. Mr.. John
Hays is the sawyer employed at this mill, and
was in charge at the time. 1t was noticed that
something was wrong with the carrisgc-a nut
or something of the kind was loose on the under
side of II. The carriage was standing in front Of
the saw, and Mr.. Hays had crossed over for the
purpose of adjusting wha;ever was wrong. Mr..
cruthers, who was his setter, took the sawyers
side of the carriage, threw himself fat upon the
floor, within few inches Of the whirling saw, and
endeavored to assist the sawyer in adjusting the
difficulty. It is said that Mr.. Hays warned him
Of his danger but he paid no attention to ii; and
Mr.. Jack Specie, who is tho engineer, and who
was watching the efforts Of the two men, told Mr.
Cruthers of his proximity to the saw, but he re-
marked that an inch was as good as mile. In
his endeavors to reach whatever was wrong with
the under part of the carriage, he had to lay fat
to the floor and partly across the carriage, and in
this way his feet would be very near the lever
reasonable to infer from this that his feet struck
the lever and started the carriage forward. After
the carriage had started two seconds could hardly
elapse before the saw would be whirling into his
body. Mr. Hays sprang from the position he
was in and rushed for the lever-Mr. Speece hur-
ried below and stopped the engine but all was of
no avail. Two uncarthly shrieks were uttered by
the expiring victim, the saw passed entirely
through the body, severing the upper from the
lower extremities, and he was dead and no power
on earth could have saved him, considering the
position he was in, after the carriage had once
been put in motion.
Dr. Blandy was at once sent for and done all
that could be done-attach together the two parts
with needle and thread.
Mr.. Cruthers was young, unmarried man, his
parents living in the neighborhood of Bells Mills,
in Blair county. They were tclegraphed to at
once, and on Thursday the remains were inferred
in the burial ground outside Of our town.-OseeOla
Rereilis.

CoURT.-This is court week with us,
but 1t is a very small affair, carried on by the
Associate Judges, Messrs. Foley and Read. The
business consists chiefly Of swearing in the new
cOnstables, some of whom opened their eyes when
requested by their Honors to give $1,000 bail, OF
be qualified that they were the owners Of that
much property, clear Of all encumbrance. Here
toforc it has been the practice to demand only
$1,000 bail, but it seems that the court requires
now in the future not less than $1,000 nor over
$1,000, thus requiring the parties elected to
furnish ample security for funds that may come
into their hands

REDUCE THE MILLs.-The most scnsi.

REDUCE THE MILLs.-The most sonsi-
BILE movement yet made in relation to assessments
and taxation, is that looking TO the reduction Of
the number of mills, or percentage Of taxation.
As the law now stands, the county commissioners
can assess ten mills supervisors and oycrsecrs Of
The poor the same, and school directors the onor-
nous sum of twenty-six mills. The Legislature
should reduce these rates just ono-half and there
by force public opinion into the support of as
SCISSORS, and property at its true value as is
nov contemplated by law but can never be done
until the other track is taken. The miserable
policy Of assessing lands at two and three dollars
per acre when It will sell for twenty and thirty,
and then imposing from ten to twcnty-six mills
for tax purposes, is the worst commercial folly
now practiced upon the people, unless VIC except
tho Custom House robborios carried on in sea
port cities. A high rate Of mills deprcciatos
property while low rate finds the true value,
what everybody seems TO desire, yet nobody
strives to practice, win II ever be reached un.
til the Legislature revorsos the law upon the sub.
ject. SO foxy arc the people in some localities
that they had to obtain special legislation, and
had the road rates raised to tscnty and twenty
fvo mills, and to keep their schools open the
legal length Of time they would asses from four
20 eight mills building tar to pay their teachers.
By violating their conscisnces aud the law in this
manner they succeeded in keeping their roads in
repair and their schools open, but they did not
|Pny onc-third Of their proportion Of either State
|or county taxes. The moral degradation is ap.
parent and tho obstacle should be removed. We
pay TO the Legislature, reduce the mills and this
dirty work will soon be abandoned and the true
|saue Of every county In the State reached.

CArHARISE MYTINGER, daughter of Jacob
Mytinger, was born in Philadelphia, on the 2sth
day of April, 1903, and was in her eighty first
year when she died. Five months after her birth,
her father and mother died of yellow fever within

oldest Of whom was but eleven years Of age. As
there were none to care for the orphans interest
during the prevalence of the dreadful scourge
which desolatcd the city in that fatal year the
property was all lost, and the children scattered
among relatives. She being the youngest was
taken charge ofby her grandmother, who cared
for her until her Oldest sister married, with whom
she then lived until she WIS married to Samuel
Brisbn, at Alexandra, Huntingdon county, in
1914. In 1925 they moved to the western part Of
the State living in Pittsburgh and its vicinity until
1856, when, after her husbands death, she moved
with some Of her children to New Orleans. She
remained there during all the stirring events Of
the ci,y's defence and capture, and sailed for
Philadelphia in the fall Of 1862 subjected to all
the pryatons and losses incidental to the times

one Of her sons, where she has resided until her
