'My God send for doctor. Do some
thing for this m4n; did not mean to kill
him. Suth were the words of young Pun-
dexter, Of Richmond, Va, when young Cur
lis was tossing and struggling in his death
agonies at his feet. Curtis had spoken rudeIy
to a yonng lady in the store OF his employer
where she was fitting pair of shoes, and
young Poindrxter went there aud cowhided
him. Then Curtis took friend and went 10
PondeSter's Office and assaulted him with
club and Poindexter shot HIM four times in
the breast When the poor fellows bio,
gushed from his wounds he would have given
words to have undone his butcher work =
Whatever may be the issue OF the trial Poin-
dexter will never forget that scene. At The
same time the murder is a wholesome lesson
TO those lascivious shoe clerks who disregard
female chastity.

Rockville. March 4. 1879.

Nr. Editor Some years ago through yonr
constant reminders" Building Association
was talked of, organized and successfully
closed after five years and eight months The
results may be especially seen in the Eastern
part of the village. II is proposed to organ
ize another upon The same mutual basis, with
this change-instead OF conhniug il to the
limits of the village, extending it TO The coun-
ty. II 200 shares aIe taken aud so of them
redeemed as soon us The money can be had,
this association will prove success But there
is great draw-back 10 this second effort es-
pecially. Many are ready anxious indeed TO
join and build at once, but lots are not availa-
BILE within the reach of the working mans
figures. Now, II our citizens who own baud
within or on the suburbs of the town could
be induced 10 sell and ut such figures as the
class of men who wish to secure homes could
manage, within five yelrs at least one dozen
or more buildings would be added TO the viii
lage, thereby enhancing the value of property
in and outside of the town; besides if lots
could be had, Others from a distance would
buy and build. viii not our people, then,
see TO il tha, lots, say from Sl00 % Sl50, may
be Offered for sale. There is no reason why
Rockville should not double its population
within five years. 1t is the best paved town
for its re in the land, Beautifully located close
to the Nationn Capital Is there an acre of
land under cultivation that nets $50 to its
owner, upon the limits or even within the
town And yet an acre of land will make
four good building lots at Sl25 each, or FIVE
very good at Sl0O each, which at six per cent
will pay $40. Lots at these prices would sell
readily ,and it woald seem that every one with
any hope for the growth of the place, aud who
at the same time are disposed TO aid their fell
low-citizens in securing home, possessing a
public spirit, &c, would be willing TO aid in
this enterprise aud no longer lei this be a bar
rier TO the extension Of oar beautiful village.
Unless something Of this kind is done, and
done a; once, the time might come when i;
would be too late, and our children woulI see
our folly TO their sorrow.

'of this week, boy named Thomas was
run over and crushed by an ore team
that was coming down the hill near the
residence of Mr.. VIM. Brunner, in Gen.

back to draw the lock, and the boy was
beside the horses, when he is supposed to
have slipped and fell, the wheels passing
over him. The wagon was loaded with
several tons of iron ore. The boy was
taken in to Mr.. Brunner's, and DIR.
Strickler was speedily sent for,bu before
he reached the scene of the accident, the

MIR. EDITOR IL remind m yself of a promise
to give you further news, especially to temper
ance matters, from this locality. Our temper
ance ''boom" was on the occasion of the Con-
vention and immediate succeeding meetings
that l reported in my last communication
Religious meetings have occupied us since con-
siderably. The Rev. Samuel McLanahan,
whose father was first cousin to Hon Jas. x.
McLanahan, formerly we'll known in this
county, preached on six successive occasions
with very great acceptance and considerable
originality and power in the Presbyterian
church here. His residence is in Waynesboro',
Franklin county, and he came as one of Pres
bytery's Committees sent to preach in the
churches. While he was with us, the Rev.
Chaney, of Bordentown, N. j., former Bap-
tist minister, but at present temperance lee
turer, came and delivered a stirring sermon on
the obstacle to the success of the Christian
church in intemperance. He showed that by
personal example, legislative action, and uni
ted Christian effort, the stone might be rolled
away from the mouth of the cave, and the dl-
vine power could then manifest itself in the
resurrection of the dead and the importation
of spiritual life.
He was listened to very attentively by
goodly number from all our churches who
packed the lecture-room of our German Re-
formed church on one of the most inclement
and slippery Sabbaths of the whole year. This
fact in itself speaks volumes as to the Interest
taken by our people in the subject, and this
interest In our borough is only one straw ont of
many, Of which you, Mr.. Editor, and all OBJ
serving people must be cognzant, indicating
the general interest that is now taken through
out the entire State and country, as well as
in Great Britain on this important subject.
On Monday evening of this week a meeting
had been appointed at Bridgeport to be ad-
dressed by Mr.. Jacob Billow, ST., but owing to
the stormy nature of the day, he failed to APP
pear. The school-house was full, however, of
people to heaE k:n, and good attention was
given while the writer briefly addressed the

BIS absence, and urged the Importance Of this
work upon those present. The choir Of ladies

\near Thompsontown, this county. Some
months ago son of the family, James
Longacre, aged "a years, went Vest
Several days ago his people in Junata
county were startled by telegraphic
communication from Yorkville, Kendall
county, Illinois, stating that James
Longacre had been shot dead at the
house of man named Bennett, and
asked for direction as to what disposi-
ton should be made of the body of the
young man. BY request the body was
sent home to Thompsontown, this coun-
ty, where 1t was inferred on Tuesday of
last week, in the Lutheran graveyard.
Information is too meagre to state
all of the circumstances that led to the
shooting of Longacre.
1t is said that Miss Bennett and
\Longacre had formed an ardent attach
ment for each other, and that opposition
on the part of the relatives of the young
lady led to the alteration that resulted
in the shooting of James Longacre.

A Travelling Fraud.-A man supposed to

with him two boxes which he had taken
to his room. He remained over night
and left on Saturday morning taking one
of the boxes with him, neglecting to pay
his board bill. Mr.. Wilder thought he
would be back shortly and dismissed the
incident from his mind. In a short time
however, the chambermaid reported a
pair of blankets missing from the bed
stranger had slept in. Mr.. Wilder at
once visited the room, opened the box
left by the traveller, and found that it
contained several stones nicely packed
in shavings. Landlord w. was at once

What is lt7-A correspondent of the
" Opinion" writes that some kind of an
animal is rowing around the neighbor-
hood of Dry Run alarming all who hear
it. 1t stays in the mountain in day
light and comes down into the valley at
night. 1t grumbles growls and halloes
on its way, and has been described as
the sound of human voice in distress.
Others say that it halloes so wicked that
it not only alarms the people, but scares
the dogs SO that they will not follow or
attack it. Some say it is panther and
still others say it is wild cat, but it is
generally believed to be catamount. 1t
is hoped some of our hunters will stop
his noise and allow our people to go to
and from their homes in peace.
