Concerning us.

Below we reprint two notices from
papers published in the city where We
resided prior to our connection with the
COURIER, and shall try to merit all the
good thssgs our old friends have said Of
d.:
II is with Aivernl regret that the
citizens Of Malvefk are compelled to say
good bye TO L. P. MsClsrren, who leaves
next week for Dakots, W1ara,he goes to
engage in the newspaper buSll s Mack
was engaged on the Leader co9 jderably
over a year, and during chat t1e We
found him I'D Honest, Intelligent Jbung
man, with fine editatlon and full Of vim.
Last spring he was elected Mayor Of our
city and filled the Office ii ! fe~arlsssJu
orable names. We bespeak for him :
bright future, o. he moi. only. possesses
ability, but . happy faculty Of making
friends and holding them. He Is : young
man that will do to "tie" to, and to the
people of Dakota we can say that You
have obtained Q fine writer, practical
Newspaper man, and hope that you may
appreciate his ability and treat him
well-lN dluern Leader.
L. p. NcClarren leaves next week to
accept the position of editor of q paper
at Elk Point, Dakota. Mack likes jour.
nalism better than anything else. and
has concluded to follow it in preference
to the law. and We can assure the com.
munity where he may pitch his tent that
he will be = valuable acquisition to their
locality and the newspaper over whose
destiny be may preside. Mr.. McClarren
- editor Of the Leader during the past
year has given gcnsral At,sfaction, and,
while his place Il ably filed BY Nj. Kel.
", many citizens Of Malvern will regret
4is departure. As Mayor Of Malvern his
hiS name will DO remembered with the
history OF the town, and after we have
grown to he . large city he will doubtless
look back with pride on the town Of
whico he was the official head. -MiMs Co

The New Gold Region.

[Yank.on Press & Dakotian.l
From information given to different
persons by q passenger who came down
upon the steamer Western there seems
to be no doubt but a rich find of gold has
been made by a prospecting party upon
the Sinking Water creek in northwest
ern Wyoming, June 9Th, 1878, e. party
ten men left Bismarck as privately as
possible and struck for the Big Horn
region. They were followed by over one
hundred others. This first party had the
trip long in mind from points they had
received in tie sweetwater region on the
Wyoming q Pacific railroad. The Stink.
ing Water IL . tributary of the Big Horn
from the west, southwest of the field of
the Custer massacre. II is about ESQ
miles south of west from Fort Keogh on
the Tongue river, about ITS miles south
east of Bozeman, Montana, north Of the
Wind river mountains and east Of the
National park, in a wild, cold and moun.
famous region. The man who reports
this IL deemed reliable; and the secrecy
is maintained to secure as much of the
rich ground rs possible to their friends
before the gates are opened to the rush.

to our telegraph columns it will be seen
that the solicitor. general to whom tho
application for the removal of Judge Ben.
nett had been referred has reported there
is no case calling for such action, and in
this decision Attorney General Devan's
concurs. This decision while not unex-
pected to Judge Benefits friends in the
Hills, will be specially gratifying as set
telling definitely, and as we hope, any
further trouble and delay, in the admin
istIation of Justice in our courts by at
tempts at his removal. Those who have
been pressing and demanding his removal
should be content and satisfied to let the
matter drop as they have had ample and
fair hearing and the verdict of the peorA
and the Department Of Justice at Wash

Car Robbers Surprised one
and two O'Clock yesterday morning,
night dispatcher Hammill, while on
duty at Bridgeport opposite this city,
observed three robbers making an at
tempt to rob freight car which stood
on the siding above the round house.
One of the thieves stood on the outside
of the car while two of them had broken
the seal and were operating inside. Mr..
Hammill heard the noise made by the
burglars and crept up cautiously to
watch operations. The sentinel saw
Mr.. H. approaching and gave the
alarm, when all of them took to their
heels, followed by Hammill, who began
to fire his revolver at them as they re-
treated. The tallest of the three was hit.
He dropped to the ground, groaned, and
jumping to his feet suddenly made his
escape. The smallest of the three, who
wore a mustache and was poclx-marked,
was shot in the calf of the legs and al
lowed himself to be captured, and was
taken to the dispatcher's Office. He
persistently refused to give his name
The Bridgeport operator sent a dispatch
to Harrisburg for a policeman to take
charge of him. Special officer Timothy,
at the Pennsylvania railroad, was sent
across the river on shifting engine to
take charge of the thief, but before he
reached the dispatcher's Office the thief
had made his escape. Mr.. Hammill
having occasion to leave the office to at
tend to his duties, the prisoner ran out

Crock Poisoning. - Mr.. Jacob Ram p,
says the Chambersburg Daily, lives
within couple of miles of Newburg,
Cumberland county. He is married and
has four children and is Woodworking
farmer. Last week one of his neighbors
presented him with large crock of
apple butter which in due time was
placed upon the table and eaten. This
was on Tuesday last. Every member of
the family partook of the apple butter
rs it was quite treat. Two little boys
ate quite freely. On Wednesday eve
ming one of them complained of feeling
unwell, and the sickness increased until
they were all compelled to go to bed.
Medical aid was summoned. Dr. Leber-
knight, of Newburg, responded, and as
the malady assumed serious proportions
he called in DIR. Robert Stewart and an
other physician from Shippensburg. On
Sunday the family were all very ill, in
fact dangerously so. The little boy
worked in spasms for hours. Yesterday
Mr.. John Speer, of Brand & Speer, of
town, received word to go down as soon
as possible as there was fear that death
might occur to of the family at any
moment. Mrs. Ramp is sister of Mr..
Speer, and he went down by last nights
train. The doctors examined the crock
and found that the glazing had softened
and mixed with the butter, causing this
wholesale poisoning.

Strange Incidental short time since
the remains of the late Isaac DeardoH
were disinterred from the family bury
ing ground, on the Stoyer farm, near
Shady Grove, for the purpose of remov-
ing them to the Hade Church Cemetery.
The coffin was found to be in perfect
state of preservation, and upon opening
it, to the surprise of all present, the body
presented the same appearance it did
when buried, nearly twelve years ago.
This must be regarded as rather re-
markable case as the coffin was not an
air-tight one. This statement Is vouch-
ed for by trustworthy citizens WdyneS-

The Fur Company has had trip after bears
recently. The head of the Company, one of
the 'Squires of the borough, had been pros
pecting on the mountain north of town, and
came home on Saturday with the intelligence
that he knew where an old bear and two cubs
could be caught. Well, on Saturday evening
about fifteen or eighteen men and boys armed
themselves with guns, axes, knives and clubs,
with an army of dogs, (they could find more
dogs In the borough than they needed and
started for the mountain, the Squire taking
the lead. When they got to the top of the
mountain they heard some of the dogs bark
ing below them. That's the bears" said
the Squire, but on going down they found only
a wildcat. They hunted the mountain over
and over, but could find no bears. The Squire
said he was sure he saw bears, but all to no
purpose, for bruin could not be seen. Some of
the men and boys, with Sammy as their leader.
staid all night on the mountain, and kept
watch but all this trouble was "no good .''-
They were obliged to come home on Sunday,
with their guns, knives, clubs and dogs.
They say If the Squire informs them of
bears again they will not believe him, unless
he shows them some of the fur of the animal
