Scott town, on Third street. lie summoned n
jury, consisting of NJ. f. Eyerly, B. f. Zarr, NJ.
c. Woodward c. NJ. Brown, Joseph Sharpless,
and NJ. 7. Lutz, and proceeded to the spot,
where they viewed the remains At three
o'clock in the afternoon an inquest was held,
where witnesses were examined and the facts as
adduccd or SO much as is fit for publication, are

herself Anna Given came to the house of Angus
tus Grove in Scou-town on Oct 9th, said she
was poor and an orphan, and had come from the
Schuylkil county poor house last May, and
asked to be taken in, which request Mrs Grove
complied with. The week after the fair she
went to Mr.. Henry Roscnstock's to live, but re.
mained there only five DAYS when she returned
to Mr.. Groves On Wednesday morning, be-
tween 8 and o'clock, she went to the clubhouse
Of John JOHNS neighbor of Groves, and was
there delivered of a child, which she threw into
the cess-pool. She then went out and procured
a broom, and intent upon the death of the little
innocent pressed it down in the filth with the
broom handle. Some of the neighbors saw this
and rushing to the rescue the child was taken
out with a garden hoe removed to the house, and
attempts made to revive it, but in vain. 1t was
dead. Dr. J. i. McKelvy testified that he had
seen the body, and that it had the appearance of

murdered the said female infant child, against
the peace and dignity Of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania
The body of the child was taken charge of
by the Ovcrsecrs of the Poor, and buried The
mother has been arrested, and will be cared for
by the Poor Overseers until she is able to get
out, when she will be committed to await her
trial.

HELP TO MOTHERS NURSING INFANTS
1t is conceded fact that mothers who have
the care, anxiety and draught Of nursing in
lants are weak and need the aid Of some
strengthening tonic to make up the nour-
shment required for the growth of the
child. Ale, porter,and lager beer have often
been recommended. OF late, since physicians
have become aware that Port Grape Wine
produced by Alfred Speer, Of PaSsaic, \, j.,
is strictly pure thay have prescribed it in
stead of ale and porter. Til. wine is prin-
cipally sough for by mothers who have nur-
sing infant, rs the best supply medium to be
found. The wine is rich in body and not in
toxicatins but gently stimulating. Druggist
generally keep it, aud sell it for 4 dollar \

REVOLUTIONARY RELC.-Wc take the
following from the Lewisburg Journd.
"The other day we were shown by Mr..
John Ballet, of this place, a blacksmith 5
shoeing hammer which deserves a place at
the centennial The hammer belonged to
Mr.. Stephen Ballet, the grandfather Of our
citizen, and was brought by him from Italy
before the Revolutionary war, The ham
mer has the name of the grandfather engra-
we'd on it and the date 'l77O.' Stephen Bal
lict settled in Northampton county, Pa,
and during the Revolutionary war was Il
soldier in the American army. This ham
mer has shoed Geo. Washington's horse
many times, and at one time when the army
was in the vicinity of Ballct's residence his
wife assisted at blacksmithing and put shoes
on the noble animal which bore the father
of his country The wife OF Stephen Bal
liet was Revolutionary pensioner for fifteen
years. The hammer is quite an interesting
relic.'
