DEAR FRBEMAN-It is with sincere regret
that record the death of the third son, John
by name, of Mr.. Anthony Anna, of Chest town.
ship, at the age of sixteen years. The cause of
death in this Instance is warning TO others
working until they have become oyerheated
and then. partaking too freely of cold water.
About week prior to his de IN this promising
young man was at work in the harvest-heid,
and not observing due caution in the use of
cold water while his blood at fever heat,
he sickencd aud died, as already stnted. Mr.
Gamma and family have the sympathy of all who
know them in this their great aifiiciion- On
the same day onday-that the young man
named above was buried, Mr.. Charles Anna,
brotherof Anthony, buried an infant child in
the Catholic cemetery in this place.
The srist mill in this pace goes into trial
operation to-day. 1t is claimed to he most
perfect piece oi work, and if SO will no doubt
prove the fact to the satisfaction OF all con-
cerned.
The picnic at st. Lawrence on the 10th inst
was largely attended and everything passed off
pleasantly, barring n couple of knock downs
and lew bloody noses, not quite so PHEASANT
to contemplate when the sober second thought
resumed its sway. These facial ornaments. re-
minders as they are of festive scenes, were
carried towards Chest creek, in Cleartield
county.
The strike against the alleged unfair and un-
just treatment of employees by corporations
has reached Carrolltown at last. But here, rs
in other places, ii was confined to resisting cor
poration pay and treatment alone. and did not
affect individual dealings. A large end wealthy
corporation engaged extensively in farming,
stock raising, etc, in this neighbOrhood, en-
ploys during harvest number of hanGs out
side of its own organization. and some of these
taking it into their heads the other day that
they were not properly or sufficiently paid and
well treated, the corporation WAS met face to
face by a regular strike. the participants de-
manding as condition of further service an
Improvement in grub and an increase in pay.
The strikers had the sympathy of some of our
well to do retired farmers. and Mr.. John r
(but / must not mention names) encouraged
the young men TO resist the movement which
sought to reduce their wages To fifty cents a
day and no dinner The standard of revolt
having been first raised at the Hopper, the flag
of freedom and human rights, and the standard
of justice to labor, were valianty carried

DEAR FREEMAN-Quitea Il novel affair recently
took place in our midst. aud one too which Gre
ated not a little though perhaps only moment
airy excitement. On Thursday morning, Aug.
e,h, about fifty lirtle girls, between five and
to Snyders grove. in gala dress and baskets on
arms, intent to aii appearance on having Il
pleasant lime. Every one rushed to the streets
to see what was going on. Soon the word pass
ed the little girls have a basket pic mic, 1t
tie folks had been working on the sly, and so
quietly did they manage things that no one but
their mothers and the managers, two ladies OF
this place, had any previous knowledge of 1t
whatever. According to prearrangement they
of our citizens and from there starr, in pro.
ccssion, preceded 10y L. 5. flag. In this order
they marched to the grove. Once there. they
made long debate or solemn caCcuses to
determine what enjoyment to pursue. They
all had come for pleasure. and their child-like
innocence aud unpretending WAYS suggested
the means of obtaining it. The happiness of
whatever amusement was suggested, though
even 10y the least among them, WIS considered
worthy of II trial And thus those little ones
not only gained II two-fo!d enjoyment. that of
their games and that of gratifying Others, but
fl,x fhs.ir
senior pleasure seekers. Yes, their childish
sports, though perhaps in every feature not
coincidcut with the cultivated aud the refined.
yet to the close ohso they served q solve tie
apparently difficult problem, why among oIder
pleasure. About fonr O'Clock the little mnidens
returned to their homes in the same order III
which they had departed, and such was the
tullness of their pleasure that as they in their
own quaint way expressed II, they wished me
day yet to come, instead of being past and
gone. L.

The Huntingdon Local Ne,cs says that
rumor reached that place Friday last that
Stewart Walker. who was recently arrested
after being shot I'm Clearfteld county for
stealing a horse from Senator Peale, of Lock
Haven, had succeeded in escaping from the
Bcllefunte Jail the night previous. 1tseems
altogether improbable that a man who was
shot az he was could have the hardihood to
attempt an escape. However, the ruInOr is
that he complained to the Sheriff more than
usual on Thursday afternoon, of the pains
from his wound thereby Obtaining sym i,atly
