Highway Robbery.

rAlcx. Miller, of this borough, called at
our office, Monday evening, about a quarter
before Z o'clock, and stated that he had just
arrived from Mauch Chunk, and that while
on his way down the mountain, just above
DoTonsburg he was seized from behind and
his arms bent back by one fellow, while a
second one went through his POCKETS; but
finding only i've cents aid pocket knife,
they put that back and left him go. The
night was very dark, and he could give no
dcscriptich dfthe highwaymen, but supposed
they were tramps. People travelling lone
some roads Should go preuarcd to meet these
desperadocs; few doses of lead admins
tered around their shns would soon stop

To The Memory of the late ETenry
A. Peter.

GONE BEFORE.
Farewell dear one, a sad farewell,
Thy race is run, iorevermOre,
Thy dwelling-place will be beyond
These scenes, thou hast but gene before
Though short has been thy pilgrimage,
Yet hast thou left mem'ry dear,
Many are the blessings now pronounced
By friends upon thee, far and near.
Great is their grief, but lie who raised
The widows son, who Lazarus from
The silent tomb called forth, has giy'n
Assurance of happy home.
Beyond the skies, where glory reigns,
Where grief nor pain shall be no more
On that bright shore4hey lain would nee
Their friend who has but gone before.
Then once again a sad farewell,
These scene of time thou hast given o'cr
Thou not 10 us but we to thee
Must go, thou hast but gone before.

Surprise Party.


Our (Tamaqua Courier special cores
pondent from Summit Hill writes as fol-
lows On the 18th day of November, 1896,
there was born in Berks county, about three
miles from Reading, boy whom the Luth-
eran pastor baptized Joseph Hester. About
forty years ago, he left the old peighherhGod,
ana came to the vicinity of Summit Hill.
Here lie has reared a family ofeleven child
ren, who are all living to comfort his old
age. He cen in two horrs time summon to
his side one hundred ana one lineal descend
ants, and there is not one of them that has
ever yet disgraced The family name. There
are II children, so grandchildren, and 81
great grandchildren On the approach of
his S2nd birthday the children thought it
well to celebrate the occasion by birthday
party, and consequently on Monday, Nov.
18th, thirty-fye gathered at the house of
John r. Harris, Esq, in Summit Hill, who
is a son-in-law, and with whom grandfather
Hester makes his home. Two Of the child
rem and the rest oftha grand and great-grand
children were prevented from being there by
the storm. The gathering was a complete
surprise for the old gentleman, and would
have been much enjoyed both by young
and old but for the fact that he had been
taken with severe chills that day, which
prevented him from even sitting up. Yet it
seemed to be a comfort to him to know that
they were all so mindful of him and his
pleasure lie usually enjoys remarkable
health for one of his age. But we are hap
py to record in closing that while he feels
his earthly tabernacle dissolving, he enjoys
a bright hope through grace that he has a
building Of God, house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.

SUMNER has come and with it the sound

is preparing to join the hostile tribes in
Idaho, and the Nez Perees are strongly in.
trenched in the Lava Beds where tn.
Modocs distinguished themselves. The
War DEPARTMENTS alarmed and Sherman
and Sheridan are planning a new Indian
campaign. And 30 It goes from year TO
year. An Indian warm the summer, a
settlement in the fall, rest for the Indians
in winter and the early spring and then
smother war. Why is this?, The Cana
dians have no su>h trouble with the In-
dians, Why should We not be able to
compel or cal ole our Indians into keeping
the peace? The proposed transfer of the
Indian Bureau from the Interior of the
War Department if it be consummated
may lead to wiser management Of Indian
affsirs. II cannot make the matter worse.

ALREADY has the first gun been fred in
the labor war of the summer. Our troops
are better prepared to meet such an emer-
gency now than last year. But then il ID
hoped it will not have to be met and the
only way to avoid it Is to be entirely
ready to suppress any outbreak, at what.
ever cost. A short time ago in West Vir>
ginis seven hundred armed men captured
steamer and q train" On the Chesapeake
L Ohio Railroad, and they were not sup
pressed. What is there thai will prove 8
greateriDeentiye than to Try If again than
success? Such demonstrations do not ex-
cite any feelings but those Of repungenee
