On Thursday last, David Boserl
caught fourteen suckers in the Letort

ured eighteen inches in length, and
were the largest fish of the kind we
ever saw.
After the Eckerd robbery last summer
il was generally circulated that but 500
was offered as a reward for the appre-
hension of the guilty parties. We have
been requested to annouce that the
reward is 500, and has been that
amount since shortly after the robbery,
but was only announced to the officers
and not made known through the
papers, Volunteer.
Monday evening about six o'clock
while the down passenger train, No. s,
of the Cumberland Valley railroad, was
running along at regular schedule speed,
and when in the neighborhood of the
first crossing west of Oakville, Mr.. Will
liam M'Clune, aged seventy nine years,
and a servant girl in his employ came
driving along the road which was par
alell with the track. When within q
short distance of his house, Mr.. M'Clune
turned to go over the crossing not
having heard the crossing signal sound
ed by the engineer-on account of both
himself and the girl being very hard of
hearing. The engineer seeing the dan
ger, sounded the danger whistle and tried
to stop his train, but before he could ac-
complish this, the engine struck the
horse, and killing 1t instantly by break
ing its neck and carrying the bug gy and
occupants down the track say so yards
to cattle guard, where they were found
with the buggy box. The old gentle
man had deep cash cut on the temple
and received several severe bruises, but
the servant was found to be only insen-
sible for a short time, with no bruises or
broken bones. The buggy was broken
into fragments. Conductor Miller sent
his engine down to Oakville for a ply
sician, who arrived in short time and
attended to the injuries of Mr.. M'Clune
and the servant, who had been carried
to their homes in the vicinity in the
meantime. The escape from instant
death was most providential one to
the occupants of the buggy. The man
died the following day.
