A haif grown girl einpIbyttt as q uoiiioS-
tic at the Mountain House, CressOn, aud
whose name has escaped our memory, made
a very narrow escape from shocking death
on last Saturday afternoon. She was en-
gagged at the time in scrubbing aoont the
steam clothes vriuger in the wash house,
and while intent on her work thoughtsesS,y y
approached too close ia the rapid moving
machine, a spindle extending from which
caught her clothing and was in a fair way TO
end her mortal career, had not her trannc
out,.ries attracted the attention of Mr.. Green,
the engineer, who reversed the engine just
in time to save the poor girl from what in all
probability would have been a horrible
death a il was, she had the clothing
nearly all torn from her person, aud her tack
was somewhat injured, though We believe
hot very seriously.

THE CASE oF MRS. MABTz.-Te made
mention in these columns last week Of the
sad case of NJ r.. Joseph IartZ, who had tor
a considerable time been incarcerlted iu orr
county Jail on the charge ot assault and bat-
terv. with presumed insanity a. the cause of
her conduct. Her loud talk, her violent be-
haviOr. and The perSistency with which she
adhered to the story that she had been rob
bed of her children, had enlisted for hers lie
attention and sympathy of the public. In
some of her ever-varying moods she told n
distressing story of deseruon Oh the part of
her husband, with poverty following in the
wake, and her children being scattered
amongst the neighbors. She said that size
had been fouliy wronged by those who had
placed her inside the cells of a prison, and
that, after awhile, the corrupt motives of
her prosecutors would be made manifest
So far as the desertion of Ler husband is con-
Cerned, as well as in some minor particulars
of her story, she is corroborated by trust
worthy witnesses, but it is as yet too early
to say that she should not have been put uIi-
der restraint. For a time she and her three
or four babes were inmates of the Poor
House. Subsequently tie children were ta-
ken charge of 10y her husbands relatives,
ani, in effort to repOssess herself of her
own offspring, she committed the aSsau {
for which she was committed To Jail. Iu
the estimation of manv, tender treatment
ipstead of usage so harsh would more full Y
have met the requirements Of the case. At
any rate, as she herself frequently said, she
was no common character 20 be cOoped up
in the company of gang of desperadoes.
Mrs. Martz's maiden name was McGough,
and on Friday of last week brojher and
sister of hers appeared before Esquire Kin
kead, aud, as required by the nature of the
Information ia the case, entered bail in a
nominal sum for her appearance At the
next term of Court. She was thereupon Sc.
at liberty, and is Tow in all probability ri
her former home. Her future career will
be followed with interest Ivy many conver-
SAINT with the history mere narrated. Jos
Martz, the husband, has failed yet tC
identify himself with the misfortunes of his
wife, though, so late as six weeks ago, he
was seen az Gallitzin, this county.

substance that the gravity and particularly
Of the charges, the high official position Of the
