The Lewistown True Democrat
says on Sunday afternoon last two
young men of New Lancaster, that
county-Solomon Dean, aged about p
years, and George Dobson, a year CT
two older-went out hunting, but
neither knew of the other being out.
Young Dean laid down alongside of
fence at clearing to watch for tur-
keys, when Dobson came slipping
along, and seeing Dean mistook him
for deer and fired. Running to his
fallen game he was horrorstricken to
find he had shot man. The alarm
was given, and Dean was carried to the
house of Joseph Knepp, the blood
squirting from a hole in his back. DR..
Swigart, of Bannerville, was sent for,
when it was found that the ball had
passed into the right lung, little be-
| low the shoulder blade, passing down.
ward end forward. An examination
was made in front, and the ball was
felt lying under the skin, it having
passed directly through the right lung.
Young Dean was yet living on Monday
morning, but there were no hopes of
his recovery. The agony of Dobson
when he found what he had done was
beyond all description. He begged the
bystanders to take Deans still loaded
gun and shoot him. His own gun he
smashed to pieces on rock. Young
Dean had been urged by his father not
to go hunting on Sunday, but he did
not heed. Dobson helped to carry the
wounded man home and then fled, and
has not been seen or heard Of since.
Two more fearful warnings in one
against Sunday breaking and careless
shooting.

A Great Apple Crop.
From the New York Sun.


This years apple crop is now gath
cred, and it is one of the richest the
country has ever had. In some regions
apples are so plenty that they are fed
to pigs, cows and horses, and the cider
mills are everywhere pressing out
more cider than they can readily dis
pose of. This very palatable and health
full drink may be bought in the
country at one dollar and one dollar
and half barrel, and it ought to be
on draught in the cities at a price
which would tempt the poorest custo-
mers. There is no need of anybody's
drinking sham cider this year. The
real juice of the apple is plenty enough
for any demand there is likely to be
for it. A splendid apple crop can for
tunately now be disposed of to much
better advantage than formerly. An
extensive European demand for our
apples has grown up within recent
years, and this autumn we are export
ing more of them than ever before,
though the prices are very low, running
from rs cents to 81 go per barrel, ac-
cording to quality, so great is the sup
ply. Vast quantities of apples are
regularly shipped to Europe by steam
er. The manifest of one vessel from
this port last week showed that she
carried 4,67l barrels, and all the out
going European steamers are weighted
with them. A Boston steamer took
5000 barrels last Wednesday, the larg'
est shipment of apples ever made from
that port. Three steamship lines from
BostonR have engaged to carry more
than 10000 barrels, and the export
from New York will reach an enor
nous and unprecedented total. If the
fruit is carefully picked and selected
and packed, it reaches Europe in gooC
condition and brings fair profit t
the sender. Apples onght to be plent!
and cheap in England this autumn.

Joseph Hartman five years ago
bought from Thomas Pugh fourteen
acres of Woodland in West Pilcland,
Chester county. When sold by Mr..
Pugh and bought by Mr. Hartman its
value was unknown to either party
It's hidden treasure would not have
been known to-day but for the burrow-
ing of a woodchuck, whose industrious
search for an abiding place far out of
the reach of dogs brought to thesurface
pure specimens of graphite. These
were found and submitted to chemists
in Philadelphia, who pronounced the
article above the usual grade. a shaft
was sunk fifteen feet. The surface
mold continued for five feet, when
graphite was met, and the deeper the
shaft is sunk the more dense the bed
of precious material. Mr.. Hartman
was soon solicited by the company
owning the Eagle works, in Upper
Uwchlan, for lease of the mine,
which they obtained for the term of
fifteen years, at five hundred dollars
per year and fifty cents for every ton
in the rough. The company will soon
put up extensive works. The mine is
thought to cover an area of twelve
acres, and is situated on the rise of the
hill south of Pilleland station, on
Pickering Valley railroad, and about
mile from Yellow Springs. Through
the properties of Hartman and Benja-
min Pennypacker, which adjoins Mr..
Hartman's, it is thought that the vein
continues.

The New PenitentiarY.

At meeting in Philadelphia, on
Wednesday of last week, the Commits
sion decided TO locate the penitentiary
for the Middle district at Huntingdon.
The structure will be Il formidable one
Twenty acres will be enclosed by
wall thirty-two feet high and eight
feet thick, planted to the depth of ten
feet and provided with a peculiar cop
ing which will defy attempts at scaling
it with clamp-ladders or ropes. The
building will be of stone, one story
in hight radiating from an octagonal
structure in the centre. The cells will
be similar to those in the new addition
built to the eastern penitentiary under
Michael Cassidy's plans; they will be
provided with a retiring closet and
hydrant and leaving sufficient room
for shoemaker's bench or weavers
loom. The solitary confinement
system will be enforced. At each
corn r on the front will be the houses
of the warden and assistant warden,
the gate keepers dwelling being handy
to his station at the outer entrance.
The citizens of Huntin don agreed to
furnish the site and all the necessary
stone and water free of charge. Three
hundred and fifty cells will be finished
before the prison is to be turned over
to the board of inspectors. An engi-
neer has been ordered to proceed to
Huntingdon and survey the land ano
get ready for the grading. The deed
will at once be delivered to the at
torney general for an examination.
The S ate has appropriated 500, 900 to
commence the work The total esti-
mated cost is SS00,000

"A Chicago wholesale grocery
which, a few years ago, carried sixteen
drummers at an expense of $40, 900 per
annum, and did an almost proftless
business, has abandoned the drummer
system, spends one-fourth their cost
annually in newspaper advertising,
and divides the rest among customers.
AS natural result the trade has in
creased tenfold, and the net profits in
the house in 1877 We're S1Sy, 900.

Statistics of the yellow fever are
being made up. The total number of
deaths has been about $4,000. In New
Orleans the deaths were little less
than 4 4,o00, the total number of cases
little more than $4,000. That is, about
80 per cent of the cases were fatal.
Allowing the same proportion through
out the South, the whole number of
cases must have been about $4,000.

OLIVER HEBERT'S MURDERERS

One Sentenced to be Hung, and
the Other Wishing She Were In
Hell.
Joe Hebert, who went to Oregon a
couple of months ago to assist in
the prosecution of his brothers muir
derers, returned last Saturday. j. D.
Whitney was found guilty of murder
in the first degree, and sentenced to
be hung on the 18th of January,
1870. Sarah A. Hebert, wife Of the
murdered man, was found not guilty.
1t was proved that she had offered
one of the witnesses 5000 not to ap-
pear against her, that she had said
that if Whitney was hung she wished
to be hung alongside of him, and
that the day after the murder she ex-
claimed: my God, l wish I was
dead and in hell, where l will 60 for
this crime;" that, furthermore, on the
evening of the same day, Mrs. He.
bert said, pointing to her children,
"How can I bear to have my children
grow up, and one say to the other,
your father killed my father p"
Mrs. Hebert had one child by Whit
ney, who was her first husband, and
another by Oliver Hebert, her second
husband. In the interval between
her divorce from her first husband
and her marriage to her second hus-
band, she was an inmate of house
of ill-fame in Silver City.
