Man SHoT.-John 0. Dixon, who re-
sides about four miles from this place, in
Lawrence township, was shot by Alex.
Kline, also of Lawrence township, on
Wednesday, Dec. Esd, while the W men
were out deer hunting. The straightest
story that we can get at is this Kline
was following a fresh track and Dixon
came upon the same track at a right angle,
some distance in advance of Kline, and
was cautiously following 1t through a
thicket, when the latter coming up DID,
served something move in the bushes,
about twenty two PAGES in front OF him,
and he, supposing it to be a deer, fired, but
instead of a deer falling before his bullet,
he heard an agonizing groan, and going
TO the spot discovered that he had shot
Dixon through the body just above the
hips. Dixon had u reddish colored coat on,
and Kline says that he could see nothing
of him but a portion of the body between
Ethe hip and arm and was positive he was
shooting at the deer which he had been
tracking.
Kline went for help and took the wound
ed man to his home, where he died the
day following. He leaves a wife and five
or six children, not too well provided for.
Kline has since been arrested and given
a hearing before Justice Porter, at which
he ent cred bail for his appearance at the
next term term of our courts. We are
not aware as to the specific points in the
charge against him.-CIedrJtetd Journal.

the School Department.
The percentage of attendance upon the
whole number registered 81 per cent. a
rathered fair showing, but not as large as
is TO be desired or as is hoped TO be reach
ed in the future. A few months since
0verfeld, in the county of Wyoming
opened free schools This was the last
district to accept the free school system.
There is 10 not a single child in the
length OF breadth ofthe State, that is de-
MED the privilege contemplated by that
grand old Commoner, Thaddeus Stevens,
when he initiated the free school system,
the greatest blessing and surest bulwark to
the liberty of our people.
The present high standard ofour schools
was not to be reached at q single bound,
but is the fruit of long patience and per-
severing industry, and too much credit can
not be given to those who have worked so
long and earnestly that this much TO be
desired end might be alta ined.

THE following extremely compllmenta-
~ notice of a Somerset County boy IS
taken from the Gazette. published at Lam
ark, Carroll County, Ill.
"Walter C. KoontZ, Esq, q native OF
Somerset County, Pa. has been a tempo
rary resident here during the last fou
wears. As a youth but just developing in
Ia manhood, his conduct while here has
convinced all of his true moral worth (;
taking active part in Teachers Institutes
and the intelligent conventions generally,
he al once made his mark as a young man
of exceptional abilities, and has hitherto
enioyed a popularity among the more edu-
Gated ladies and gentlemen OF the county
granted to few. Last winter, and this, he
has been spending at the Medical College
at Cincinnati-the.. Physiological Insti-
tute-and last week we happened to learn
that the Faculty had appointed him to de-
liver the valedictory for the graduating
class in February. This standing at the
head ofthe Alumni is all ofa piece with
what we had previously known OF Mr..
Koontz, and will be good reason for con-
gratulations among his many admirers
here. We predict the young Doctor will
do himself and the address justice, making
il pregnant with independent thought.
The graduating class at the Institute. this
term. we are happy to say, is composed OF
superior intelligence, containing some
Young men OF superior abilities. Carroll
County feels thankful for this merited dis
tinction. but sorry We can offer no very in
