Express Thieves. = On Monday night,
when the Philadelphia express was on
its way East from Pittsburgh to Balti-
more, the messenger discovered, when
he reached Altoona, that the door of an
express car which had been securely
locked when the train left Pittsburgh
had been forced open and lot of goods
stolen from the car. The thief, or
thieves, had destroyed the manifests
to prevent the messenger from ascer-
tanning what amount of goods were
missing, but as the goods were all regis
tered at the Pittsburg office before leav-
ing that city, the amount of theloss and
the description of the goods missing can
be readily ascertained. The car was
what is termed through car" and
had been carefully locked at Pittsburgh.
The thieves, evidently, had spotted the
car before it left Pittsburgh. The re-
naming goods were removed from the
car at this city by Colonel Bingham's g
employees Harrisburg Patriot.

Tribute of Respect.

At regular meeting of Bloomfield Council
No. 95, Jr. y. U. A. NJ, the following pre-
able and resolutions were unanimously adopted
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God, in
his wise Providence, to remove from time to
Eternity, our beloved friend and brother,
William w. Baker, who was esteemed by all
who knew him, and was ever faithful to the
duties devolving upon him in our Council :
Therefore be 1t
ReSolved, That while we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who rules over
the destinies of men, and doeth all things well,
we can not but express our heartfelt sorrow at
the loss we have sustained, and that we accept
warning us of the uncertainty of life; and
parted Brother, we trust that he has been
called up higher to enjoy the rest which re-
mains for the people of God.
ReSolOed, That we deeply sympathize with
the bereaved parents and friends in their sad
affiiction, and commend them to the love of
our Heavenly Father, the great and only source
of consolation.
RESOLVED, That, In memory of our departed
Brother, our Charter be draped in mourning
for the space of sixty days, and that the usual
badge of mourning be worn by the members
for the space of thirty days.
Resolved, That those resolutions be inserted
in our minutes, and that copy be presented
to the parents of the deceased, and the same
be published iu the county papers,

A Peculiar Case About three years
ago Frederick Fletterer, Jr., of Lancas-
ter county, was convicted of fornication
and bastardy. Not having been able
to pay the usual fine, costs, etc., he was
removed to Jail. Proceedings were SUBJ
sequently had looking to his release
under the insolvent act, but unfortuna-
tely the petition for the discharge of the
prisoner was presented to the court at
the wrong term. The court, according
ly refused to order his release. At the
next term another petition was filed,
but the court ruled that after the presen-
tation of petition under the insolvent
act future petition could not be legally
recognized. Application was then made
for redress to the county commissioners,
but they declined to remit the fine and
costs. An appeal was then made to the
board of pardons and the case was argued
on Tuesday. The board dismissed the
application on the ground that as Flet-
terer had never been sentenced to i'm
prisonment they could not help him
out of the difficulty. The prisoner can
obtain no relief even from the governor,
as his power is confined independently
of the action of the board of pardons,
to remission of fine-not of costs.
The only remedy the prisoner has is a
cancellation of his Indebtedness by the
commissioners or his friends. Unless
this is done, he will probably have to
serve for life.

Y Almost Suffocated Tuesday night
Capt. James Elders wife and three sons
narrowly escaped suffocation under the
following circumstances The captain
was absent from home on business, and
the mother, with her three children,
slept together in one room but before
retiring for the night, coal fire was
prepared to burn until morning; the
damper was properly fixed, a hod full of
wet coal was dumped into the stove, the
top lids of which were left about half
open. Some time during the night little
Mac, the youngest boy, awoke from his
stupid slumbers, exclaiming that "his
head was bustin." He managed to
arouse his mother, who Immediately di-
vined the cause of the trouble with the
boys and her own head. McIntire be-
came unconscious, but the doors of the
house were thrown open, the other chill
dren awakened in time to help them
selves out into the open air, and while
the severe effects of inhaling quantity
of sulphur did not pass away at once,
we are happy in announcing the fact
that both mother and children recruited
again from the severe sulphurous inha-
lation.- .-Neagport Ne,Os.

Married but Not Mated. - Most of our
readers will remember the marriage Of
Miss Seager, of Blain, which took place
several years since under rather queer
circumstances, and as both of the parties
are former residents of this county will
be inte rested in the following which we
take from Chicago paper. So far Miss
Seager seems to have the best of the
bargain.
San Francisco is troubled by phe-
nomenal divorce case that had its origin,
or moving causes, in Indiana. In 1874
John T. Musselman, of the Logansport
Sun, and at that time man of go, ad-

The Law of Estrays.- Many people are
unfamiliar with the law in regard to
estrays, and for the benefit of such, we
print the following information:
The first duty of any one taking up
an estray is to place description of it
on the books of the township clerk, and
to advertise the same in newspaper
within ten days thereafter. A failure
to do this lays such person liable for
damages. 1t is a foolish as well as a
dangerous thing to take up property of
this kind and hold it awaiting an offer of
q large reward.

Shocking Accident at Bridgeport. =
Robert Lovegrove, aged twenty -one
years, who was the main support of his
widowed mother, residing at York, and
a worthy young mechanic, finding work
scarce, entered the service of the North
ern Central railroad company about
four weeks ago. Last Saturday a week
while coming north as brakeman on
one of the through freights he fell be-
tween the cars, in the deep cut, just
north ofthe Cumberland Valley railroad
crossing at Bridgeport, and one truck
passed over both legs. Amputation was
performed. He is still living.
