Look Out for Him. = A chap hailing
from Juniata county,is travelling around
the upper end of this county taking
orders for groceries. His samples are
good, but the delivered articles are very
different. Already complaints have
come in to us from parties who have
been cheated, asking us to warn others
SO they may not get bit too. Look out

Foolish Plety,-A dispatch from Pal
myra, Lebanon county, says "A bap-
tismal ceremony was performed at this
place yesterday which caused consider
able excitement in the neighborhood. -
The particulars are as follows: Mrs.
Martin Bowman, an invalid, aged about
fifty years, and unable to walk, was
taken to Spring Creek, and there bap-
tised according to the rites of the Ger
man Baptist Church, of which she was
a member. The mode of baptism is to
immerse three times, and notwithstand-
ing the extremely debililated condition
of the woman, the rite was administered.
Being unable to walk on account of
weakness, Mrs. Bowman was placed on
a chair and carried into the stream by
Rev. Hertzle and an attendant, after
which she was plunged under the icy
cold water three times. When brought
up from the third plunge her counte-
nance was pallid and form limp and
apparently lifeless. When brought out
of the water her husband and children,
supposing her to be dead, were overcome
with emotion, and gave vent to their
anguish In tears. The supposed corpse
was wrapped In blankets, and taken to
the house of neighbor, where hot
bricks and irons were applied to her feet,
hot stimulants administered, and after

A Lebanon County Tragedy. - A dis
patch from Lebanon, dated February
4th, says In December last Joseph
Raber fell into narrow and shallow
stream, In Union tow nship and was
drowned. The coroner's jury subse-
quently rendered an unimportant ver-
dict. The peculiar manner in which
Raber was found, the fact that he was
permitted to remain in the water several
hours after life was extinct, and the con-
duet of certain parties created suspicion
of foul play, especially when it was as
certained that policies of insuranceon his
life for large amount were held by per-
sons residing in the neighborhood. The
fact coming to the knowledge of several
of the insurance companies who had
issued policies, detectives were employed
to work up the case, and were on the
eve of investigating the mystery, when
Joseph Il Peters, of West Hanover
township, lodged information before
Squire Speck charging John A. Stickler,
Charels True, Israel Brandt, Henry
man with being the murderers of Raber.
Warrants were at once issued for the ar
rest of the men and placed in the hands
of officers. The arrests were effected at
dawn this morning near dreary locality
known as Indiantown Gap. The prison.
ers were brought to Lebanon this after
noon and lodged in Jail.
Peter is son-in-law of True, and saw
Stickler and True throw Raber into the
water. Brandt held one of the policies
and is said to have paid the latter parties
large amount of money to commit the
crime. The original amount of insurance
was $50, 900. Policies in the following
companies are in force: Home Mutual,
Lebanon, $1,000; Keystone, of Allen
town, $4,000; Reading Mutual, ST 900;
Mutual Benefit of Hartford, Conn,
$4,000; New Erie, of Philadelphia, ST 600.

A special telegram from Washing
ton to the Pioneer Press says: It is
matter of amazement how the De-
mocrats are developing an abnormal
and unexpected friendship for the
poor soldiers, and have flooded the
document rooms. Senator VOORHEES,,
who has made himself out to be the
best friend of the soldiers, has intro.
duced a bill that will take about two
hundred million dollars out Of the
treasury if it is ever passed. It pro.
poses that the soldiers of the late
war shall receive the difference be-
tween gold and the value of the
greenbacks which were paid during
the war at the time of payment, and
Sofforth, a blatant Democrat from
Pennsylvania, goes even better than
Voorhees,, introducing a bill to give
every soldier Of the late war and
their wives and parents pension at
the rate of 50 a month. This little ar
arrangement wonld cost the govern
ment about SIG, 100000 month, and
will probably not be. contaminated
at once, but the introduction Of the
bills, do not cost VOORHEES, and Sof..
orth anything, but gives them a lit.
tie cheap notoriety. ::s~ 8
