A BOLD BURGLARY.-On Sunday
night, Nov. 7th, the store of Wm. p.
Hillbish at McKees Half Falls, this
County, was entered by a set of Burg
lars and the safe blown open and its
valuable contents stolen, consisting Of
a $50 check or the Middetown Bank,
a $50 check drawn by Joseph Clemens,
endorsed by James Weiser, on the New

On Tuesday the 9th inst. Gov.
Hoyt issued his warrants for the eX-
ecution of Daniel F. Sullivan and Pat
rick Hayes, at Philadelphia, Jan. 9th
next, and George Smith and Catharine
Miller, at Williamsport, on the same
day. Sullivan murdered his para
mour, Jose6ne T. Irwin. Hayes muI-
dered his wife, Bird get O'Keefe, aud
Smith and Mrs. Miller murdered An
drew Miller, husband of Mrs Miller.
When in addition to the above we
look to the Raber murder in Lebanon
county, the brutal ,Kintzler murder i'll
Snyder county, the recent horrid mur-
derof old man Finkbocn, in NOrthum-
berland county, we need not go down
south to see murder and crime. Penn
sylvania seems to have more, homicide
cases than any state in the Union,
with the possible exception of Texas.
INDIAN SU3DIER.-Indian Summer
is period of warm, pleasant weather
which usually occurs every year over
the Norhern portion of the United
States, after Atumnal storms, and Of
ten continuing for two or three weeks.
1t is not regular in the period Of its
recurrence, but usually comes about
the middle OF November. 1t is char
acterzed by clear sky, and by hazy
or smoky atmosphere, especially near
the horizon. The name is said to be
derived from the custom of the Indians
to use this time il preparing their
stores of food for the winter. Other
authorities say that it is SO called by
the Indians themselves, who regard
this season as the gift of The God of
the Southwest, who sends the South
west winds, and to VIII ON they believe
their souls 60 after death.
