the officer who reached for 1t, on the
ground that he was not the proper
person to receive it. Some other party
came up and commenced talking to
Heath, during which time he says he
might have given his vote to the off,
Ger, but has no recollection Of so do
ing. Shortly aftorward he went up to
vote, and was surprised at being told
that ho had voted. He finally told the
board that when they came to count
of, If the ticket corresponding in num-
Der to that opposite his name was
straight Republican ticket, he would
be convinced. When the vote was
counted off such was found to be the
case. and Mr.. Heath was convinced.
Moreover, Democrats who were on the
board say that they are convinced
that Mr.. Heath did not intend 10 vote
twice. The Press has made o noun
tain out of mole hill, and the noun
tain has labored and brought forth
Daniel Harrington, who delivers
some very caustic remarks on Mr..
Heath's absence Of mind. 1t would be
impossible for any voter in any pre-
cinct Of Forest County to repeat" at
the polls, and hence Mr.. Heath's ac-
ton is looked upon by all sensible
men Of both parties as mere unpre-
meditated, and somewhat funny mis-
take. We hope our Democratic
brethren will not undertake to Ku.
Klhx Mr.. Heath on account of it.
V-Daniel Rustler of Hickory town
ship, Was shot en- Thursday last, by
Peter Ginter, one of his neighbors,
who was out hunting with him. II
seems that Ginter shot at Rustler un.
der the impression that he was shoot
ing at deer. Mr.. Rustler's arm was
badly shattered, and it is not yet GER.
tain that 1t can be saved. Mr.. Gintel
IS an old citizen of Forest County, and
one of the last we would have suppos
cd capable Of making such q blunder
He Gays, however, that he was sure
he saw not only the head. but the
whole body of the deer, and shot with
the above result. 1t is somewhat queel
that such accidents, and they are by
no means uncommon, occur at the
hands of old hunters, while it is the
green hands that all nre afraid of
| One thing that makes such mistakes
more numerous, is the fact that nearly
all hunters wear gray clothes and light
hats, approximating as nearly as posi-
ble the color Of deer. This is tht
only accident Of the kind which hal
taken place in the county this year.
-IH the case Of Akin, whose tria
for the murder of Goodwin, at Ell
City, came off last week in Clarion
the jury brought in a verdict ofvolun
tary manslaughter, and Judge Jenk
entenced Akin to pay fine Of eigh
hundred dollars and undergo impris
onment for two years and six months
II that's all it costs to shoot a fellow
being, in Clarion County, We shall no
be surprised to see the time of tn
Court taken up with cases ofthat kind
Certainly ho where else would a mur
dorer have received such sentence.
