couTb room callou lOI severe punish
ment and that hereafter all who came
before the court and resorted to false
: swearing to clear themselves would be
severely dealt with. The court then
sentenced the two who had sworn to
their innocence to one year in the
Eastern penitentiary, while the third,
who had declined to enter the witness
box, escaped with six months in the
county Jail. This action on the part Of
Judge Pearson is commendable aud
should be initiated by every criminal
Judge in this Commonwealth. @
"A young fellow named Lenord
was amusing himself at Shawsvile, on
Sunday last, by shooting mark--a very
creditable Sunday postime by-the-way
when Thomas McGlynn happened
along the road and stopped where
Leonard was shooting. McGlynn was
hurt on log job about year ago,
and it was necessary to have one Of
his legs amputated, since which time
he has been kept at the expense Of
Goshen townships He had just got,
ten able to be about on a wooden leg
and at the time he met Leonard he
was returning from log camp with
er be had gone the day before and Sc
cured work for ths winter. AS they
stood there together Leonard again
loaded the pistol and while working
at it for some purpose he held the muz
zle toward McGlynn when it was
accidentally discharged, the ball TAX
ing effect in the latter's sound leg
The ball we believe, is still in the leg,
and there is 10 telling what the result
may be-possibly to. place McGlynn
a helpless cripple, upon the township
for life. This certainly is sad oc-
currence.- CIearfeld Journal.

--Dou't go abroad for work, is the
timely advice of the American Consul
at Liverpool to the mechanics of this
country. His observation is that those
who have left the United States within
a year, hoping to find employment in
England, have been previously disap-
pointed unless they went out under
contracts guaranteeing them work.
The applications at the Consulship for
relief has melted the Consul to issue
this notice. There is no more chance
for an American mechanic or carpen-
ter in England at this time-indeed
not so much-than there is at home,
where at least he will be among friends
and not left destitute among strangers,
as has been the case with so many
workmen who have gone abroad in
search OF employment.
