SAD Observation-Disclosures never
come singly," has been illustrated in the
case of James Walls. once a well-to-do farmer
near Petersburg, Huntingdon county. He
obtained notoriety some time ago by prose-
cutting a suit against a young lady whom he
accused with larceny of a dress and bonnet
and other articles, which in his simplicity he
he had given her and then demanded from
that time his idiosyncracies were more OBJ
servable he was the object of ridicule by
rude boys, and his calamities were Knocked
at by men who should have known better.
A few months ago, commission was ap-
pointed to test his sanity, the jury deciding
that he was not lunatic. Gradually his
personal property and estates were swept
away, and last week he suffered bodily
injury at Mapleton, by falling from wagon
and breaking his leg. The Local Ncaos says
that he is now in the County Aims House.
Poor Jim Walls! Over evenly years of age;
i'm the prime of life he had much of this
world's goods-now, penniless and fed at the
hand of public charity. What sad history

$4,000 FIRE.-Shortly before noon
yesterday the extensive woOlen mills of
Halfpenny 81 Noel, situated about a half
mile from Bells Mills, back in the country,
caught fire in the roof from a defective fiue.
Several persons in the neighborhood united
their efforts to save the building, and, at
one time, had the flames almost under con-
troll, but the wind blew gale and baff1ed
the efforts of those who were struggling
against the devouring flames. Soon the
whole building was enveloped and IA short
time elapsed until smoking ruins were the
only remains of the mill. The building
was of frame, three stories high, cont aimed
four sets of carders and all necessary ma
chinery, which was of the most improved
pattern. About a dozen hands were en-
poyed in and about the mill, and all kinds
of wooden goOds-cassimers, satinets, stock
ing-yarn, etc.-were manufactured. The
building and machinery was valued at about
Sl5, 900. The insurance only amounts to
S3, 500, we understand. Mr.. II Halfpepny. one
of the proprietors, was elected County Com
missioner on the Republican ticket at the
late election. 1t is not likely, we are in
formed. that the mill will be rebuilt. It's
destruction is a deplorable misfortune.-Al-
