FOUND DEAD.-On Thursday morn
ing, August 18th, man named James
Ken:on, was found dead in his bed, at
the St. Charles hotel, in this place
For some days previous he was going
about town greatly under the influence,
of liquor, which, evidently, he obtained
in some surreptitious manner, as there
are no licensed houses here. An in
quest was held on the body, and a YER
dict rendered OF "Died of Apoplexy;'
but it is generally conceded that, al
though the immediate cause of his death
may have been appolexy, yet the pri.
mary cause was severe dissipation for
some days previous. The remains OF
the unfortunate man were buried on
Thursday evening. Since then, fur.
ther investigation in reference to where
the deceased obtained the liquor which
he drank, together with some other cir
cumstances connected with his dissipa.
ton, were had, but with what result We
have not learned. We hope the case
may be thoroughly ventilated, and al
violators of the law, if any, severely
punished, as warning to others who
engage in the unlawful sale of intoxlcat
ing drinks.-Rattsmans Jom nal.

A MOST horrible outrage occurred at
Elklaud, Tioga county, on Friday even
ing last. a negro who was at work at
the Traverse House attacked young
lady Just below Elkland, forced her to
one side of the road and outraged her
person three times. In her struggles
her clothes were torn nearly off, and
the negro fend choked her and threat
ened to kill her with large knife, and
finally dragged her to race, and held
her head under water till lite was nearly
extinct. He then left her more dead
than alive, and as soon as she was able,
she returned to Elkland and told her
horrible story. The negro was arrested
and sent to the county Jail. This same
negro has served one term in the peniten
tiary for burning the barn of Frank
Lowell, in which valuable horse was
lost. and was believed to have been the
author of series of incendiary fires
that occurred in that neighborhood
some time previous. The young woman
was at work for Jno. Park hurst, prom
iuent citizen OF Elkland, and has always
borne good character and is well con-
nected. .-POftcr Enterprise.
