COvell CAPTURED.

1t will be remembered by the readers
of the TRIBUHE that in August last the
startling announcement was made that
the safe in the canal Office at Sault Ste
Marie bad been broken open and pack
ages of money amounting to 81 200
stolen. It being known that the state
authorities had been investigating the
affairs OF the canal, that there was de-
ficiency in the accounts discovered, rem
dered the announcement of the theft
still more startling. The fact that
Samuel B. w. Covell, the book-keeper,
disappeared the morning that the bur-
glary was discovered, caused suspicion to
to at once point to him as the guilty
party, and kilograms were sent for officers
to board the boat he was supposed to be
on and arrest him. The steamer, a
Canadian one. was searched on reaching
Sarnla, and a paper collar found in his
slater DOM upon which was written the in
telligence that he had taken life pre-
server when short distance from port
and had attempted to swim ashore.
Although this seemed doubtful, there
was romantic elements enough in it to
create newspaper sensation, anil it was
published far and wide. From thatItime
to this, nothing has been heard publicly
OF Mr.. Covell. He had faded entirely
from public attention, and none thought
Of him except perhaps those most inter-
ested in his populations. Public interest
was again revived last Saturday by
Coveh being arrested in Detroit. From
railroad tickets and checks found upon
his person, it is believed he was on his
way TO st. Louis. 1t is expected that he
will soon be removed to Sault Ste Marie
for judicial examination. Then perhaps
the clouds which have for some time
past been hanging over the affairs of the
Sault canal will be effectually cleared
up. 1t is to be sincerely hoped that now
the guilty will be punished and the in
nOcent cleared Of all suspicious.

A ChebOygan Bill Passed.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Macarthur
to authorize the Commissioner of the
State Land office to sell Mr.. John Heaphy
certain descriptions of land at 81 % per
acre, has passed both Houses, and doubt
less ere this has received the Governors
signature. The facts upon which this
bill was based were something as fol-
lows: Some years since, while Mr..
Heaphy was living in Indian village, he
purchased from an Indian the title to
some land, expecting to purchase from
the government as soon as the land was
put i'm market. 1t was never put in
market, but was transferred to the state,
and was first put in market the 10th of
last November and held at So per acre.
The improvements which Mr.. Heaphy
had caused to be put upon:the land made
1t worth much more than ordinary
smampland. Still Mr.. Heaphy did not
desire to pay for his own improvements,
therefore this bill was introduced and
passed for his relief.

New meshed Of Raising sunken ves-


The Detroit Post last week gave an ac-
count of the trial of a new apparatus for
the raising of sunken vessels. which was
successfully exhibited at Detroit few
days since. The plan is similar to, and
was suggested by, the well known
practice of attaching empty casks to SUBJ
merged bodies, but is apparently more
feasible and scientific. The pontoon con-
sists of bladder-shaped body, made OF
India rubber and canvas, banded with
iron. When not inflated, the iron causes
the whole to sink. After beipg sunk
and attached to the hull of vessel, the
bladder is inflated, and of course seeks
the surface of the water. The model ex-
hibited was pontoon consisting OF two
bladders, each four by eight inches, in
one section. 1t was sunk in 16 feet OF
water with IS lbs. of iron attached, and
by the application of small air pump in
the hands of two men, brought to the
surface in IS seconds. According to this
it is calculated that a pontoon 4xS feet
can raise fully 2,4OO lbs. A large pom
toon, according to well known law, has
greater proportion OF power than
small one. The largest made are IL feet
long, and dozen Of them on each side of
vessel would float very large body.
One of the best features of the pOntoon
Is its convenience for carrying. A vessel
might stow away dozen or two of them
In spare corner, and with the help of
an air pump lift herself off the rocks be
fore help could arrive or damage be done
to her by severe weather. To prevent
bursting, each pontoon has guage
which, acting like safety valve, warns
when sufficient pressure is applied. The
patentee is Capt. Foster, of Detroit, a
disabled mariner, who, hosts of friends
hope, will be successful with his inven-
ton. The plan certainly has the promise
of merit in it, and when the stormy sea-
son comes and wrecks strew the beach,
it will doubtless be thoroughly tested.

The Presque Isle and Little Traverse
State Road.

I State Road.
The petition which was circulated here
couple of weeks ago. asking the Board
of Control to let the contract for that
portion of the Presque Isle and Little
Traverse state road situated in this
county, was acted upon favorably by that
body, and the contract ordered let, as is
shown by an ADVERTISEMENT in another
column, inviting proposals for its con-
struction. We believe there is some
pretty heavy work upon this section of
the road, especially in the bridge build
ing line, as it crosses the Sturgeon,
Pigeon, Black and Rainy rivers, besides
several smaller branches. We trust that
satisfactory propositions will be received,
so that the work may be commenced
soon.

Terrific Hail Storm. - No wonder we
had cold spell of weather during last
week. In many parts of the country
there were severe hail storms, and in
Schuylkill county snow fell on Thurs
day last. Adams county suffered Sc
verely by hail storm on Monday last,
which passed between New Chester and
Hampton, doing little injury to either
town, but the district between was less
fortunate. In VIM. Wert's dwelling
seventy panes of glass were broken, and
sixteen in Jacob S. Taughinbaugh's The
latter's barn was also partly unroofed.
Taking the direction of New Oxford,
the storm tore off part of John Louch's
barn roof; also unroofed part of Peter
Miller's barn, Jacob Wiest's house had
40 panes of glass broken, John Often
hafer's "a, Jacob Smiths SO, Francis
Marshall's all on the north side, whilst
in the town of New Oxford upwards of
1000 panes were broken, Peter Feiser
losing 161, the Catholic church 140, d.
j. A. Melhorn's warehouse 70 and cor
hSI VI UnS IOOl CttIIleu away, Un6
Schwartz property 40 panes, M'Cadden's
heirs nearly all the glass in the front
part of the house, Thomas Smith 35 or
40 panes, and every house east of the
railroad suffered more or less in the loss
of glass.
The hall at New Oxford is represented
as nprecedentedly large. A mass of
hail or ice three inches long by one-and-
a-half wide passed through a widow in
Wiest's hotel and knocked small
drawer out of a cigar case. Hail not
only went through windows, but the oil
blinds inside of them as well. The hail
ranged from the size of shellbarks to
walnuts, and in a few cases larger.
AT some points the track of the storm
was three miles wide. With terrible
gale,and rain and hail the destruction of
field and garden crops, trees, fences, etc.,
could not but be great. Great damage
was also done in parts of York county.

ear. He remained insensible until death
took place, which was not till Friday
afternoon, previous to which time his
wife who had been notified arrived. Mr..
King left on the table in his room three
sealed letters, one addressed to Mr.. Wis
tar, one to his wife and one to his BROTH
er William. The latter had been written
at Troy, New York, eight days previous.
He also left an open note which said:
"My life has been failure and / am
tired of it. Please deliver the letters to
my friends. [Signedl 5. 5. KING"
His remains were brought to Duncan
non on Saturday afternoon and his
funeral takes place this Monday after
noon at o'clock. The deceased was a
man generally respected and of more
than ordinary ability, and had been in
the employ of the Iron company for
over twenty years. What led him to
commit the deed is unknown and prob
ably will always remain secret to the
public.
