gB- A few days ago the town of Green
field, Ohio, was thrown into a state of un-
usual excitement by the report that the
house of Squire Knucles, for many years
treasurer of Pike county, had been broken
into by burglars, his nineteen year old
daughter, Vina, overpowered, and the
house robbed of a large sum of money
The burglars escaped, but Miss Knucles fur
nished Detective Przer with fair descrip-
tion of them, and Mr.. Knucles, unknown
his daughter, gave the detective certain
marks by which the stolen bills could be
recognized. The detectives were complete
ly in the dark until last Friday, when Miss
Knucles presented at the village store a
bill that had been taken from the treas
urer's safe. Prizer had an interview with
the young woman, in the midst of which
she broke down, and confessed that, actuated
by want of pocket money, and encour-
aged by evil companions, she had opened
the safe, scattered the books and papers
about the floor and having secured the
money, gave the alarm of robbery. Most
of the stolen money was recovered, but the
fathers distress at his daughters crime
was pitiable.

A Frluhtful Accident.

A. terrible accident occurred at the Rod
Mill, at Johnstown, Cambria county, on
the 10th ult., which resulted in the horrible
death of promising young man. The
victims name was Richard o. Jones, and
he lived with his step.father, VIM. s.
Jones, on Market street, between Main
and Vine. The accident happened at the
Rod Mill, where he was employed as
"sticker-in' at the finishing rolls, his
work being to catch the end of the wire
rods as they came through the rolls and
guide them through the last pass before
they are wound upon the spindle at the
north end of the building. At quarter
after o'clock Saturday morning, only
fifteen minutes before the usual quitting
time, one of the long red-hot rods, whose
end he bad just inserted in his part of the
rolls, became twisted as it was guided
along the iron floor behind him by a boy
named James Bingham. The rolls were
running at the rate of four hundred and
fifty revolutions per minute, and the twist
caused the wire to curvet through the air.
one of the loops falling over young Jones'
body, just below the ribs, and drawing him
down on his knees with his back against
the rolls, through which the wire sped with
lightning rapidity. A workman
named John Devine was standing within
few feet of the victim, but was poweress
to render any assistance. John Rovley
seized an AK and with one blow severed
the wire, but not before it had cut and
burned it's way through the body of the
victim. The left arm was severed between
the elbow and shoulder, the right between
the elbow and wrist and portion of the
backbone was all that held the mutlated
body together. His bowels were cut into
small pieces aud fell out in mass on the
floor Death is supposed to have resulted
almost instantaneously. There was slight
quivering of the muscles half minute
afterward, bnt that was all.

A Battle With a Circus.

The Indianapolis News says: At Lees
vile, Orange county, the Transatlantic
circus had a performance not on the bills.
Some sharpers got hold of man by the
name of Dare and tiled to beat him out of
his money with games, but finding that he
would not gamble, suatched his money
from him. Next woman with the COM
pany stole watch from man and also
revolver. Then shot was fired into the
canvas, after which the showmen caught
three citizens, dragged them inside the
tent, lashed them to wagon, and beat
them nearly to death, and then stamped
upon them. By this time the citizens
raised, and arming themselves with shot
guns and revolvers, soon succeeded in re-
leasing the men from the hands Of the
showmen. Now the battle commenced in
earnest. Over one hundred shots were
fired, resulting in nortally wounding four
showmeD and severely wounding several
Others. One citizen was dangerously shot.

A Knowing Dog.

The following instance Of canine instinct
is related by the Oglethorpe, Ca, "Echo."
Several months since some person shot and
fearfully mangled the leg of Ponto, a fine
dog belonging to Judge Upson, and gen.
eral farvorite in town. The perpetrator of
the deed could never be discovered, but
this week clue was furnished by the dog.
Monday Ponto hobbled down town and
began to renew his acquaintance with the
boys and other dogs. He evinced every
manifestation of joy, aud would wag his
tail and look at the manned limb when
any one would condole with him. At last
young lawyer walked up and attempted

cE- In the middle of divine service at
the Lancaster Presbyterian Church, on
Sunday week, the pastor asked, to the
surprise of the congregation, if Philo R.
Newton and Fannie M. Irving would step
forward. This they did, and were made
man and wife. At church fair held in
Lancaster last winter, Mr.. Newton took a
chance at cake containing wedding
ring, and was so fortunate as to obtain the
prize. A few weeks ago he visited Ham
monton, New Jersey, and gave it as a
pledge of his love to Miss Irving sweet
girl of eighteen years. Mr., Newton is a
widower of fifty, from New York. This
last capture is his fourth bride, and from
the third wife he obtained divorce in the
Lancaster county courts not more than
three weeks ago, the New York courts
having refused to grant it.

some familiarity. The dog cast upon him
look of whitening scorn, gave sudden
snap and started for home as fast as his
three sound legs could carry him. This
unheard Of performance on the part Of
Ponto aroused the suspicious of the specta-
tors--they smelt good sized rat, and
accused the attorney of doing the shooting.
The evidence was too convincing. He
owned up like man, and stated that it
was not he, however, who fired the unpro-
voked shot, but another young man with
whom be was walking.
