MIR. Armagast, farmer living in the
vicinity of Fillmore, owns a COW which
became exceedingly unGovernable on We'd
nesday morning Of last week. First she
tossed her head, striking horse which was
standing near in his neck, piercing the Jug
ular vein, and killing him instantly. The
next object her dangerous horns came in
contact with was the fore shoulder of another
horse, inhIcting a wound which may prove
fatal. OF course, the COW was instantly
secured, and We think 1t would be unsafe
to reside in that community unless such a
dangerous animal is kept secured con-
stantly.

Mr.. Charlie Glenn has a ghostly sen-
sation. A young gentleman and lady en-
tered his photograph establishment on Sat.
urday afternoon, and went through the
usual ceremony Of having their photographs
taken. But what was Mr.. Glenn's amaze
ment, upon examining the negative, to
see quite distinctly impressed upon IL
shadowy third figure in the rear Of the
young lady. Mr.. Glenn AYERS that only
he and the lady and gentleman were in the
gallery at THE time, and is unable TO ac-
count for this second lady. His belief in
ghosts is increased, and he thinks this must
be picture of the lady's discarded rival.
Either the doctrine of ghostly visitations
must be true, or the ladies have become so
fond Of Mr.. Glenn as TO secrete themselves
in his gallery, and only appear when he is
in his dark den, forgetful of the tales the
camera will tell.

1t really begins to look ms if some
thing is soon to be done TO the Presbyterian

stone pile of sand and load of stone
were hauled in front Of the church. Most
of the sand still remains, and the pile Of
stones has been augmented until it has
reached considerable proportions. There
is every reason to anticipate that 1t will

a CENTRE COUNTY MAS VIcTIHIzED.
The Tyrone Heraid OF IA recent date tells
how Mr.. John 7. Fowler, one Of the most
intelligent business men of this county,
was imposed upon by an itenerant fraud
About three weeks ago an Englishman,
who gave his name as George Lewis,
stopped at John 7. Fowlers MILL in
Centre county, and complaining that he was
sick Mr.. Fowler took him and had him
cared for until he was able 10 get around.
He represented himself as painter by
trade, and Mr.. Fowler agreed to give him
a job Of work at painting some houses. On
Thursday of last week he gave the fellow
al order 10 Kline & Hoiier for n lot of oil,
which he disposed Of in some way not yet
known 10 the police. Some time during
the day Lewis came back to the store Of
Kline Il Hoficr and said be had missed the
train, slso asking Kline to loan him dol
lar 10 pay his hotel bill. He received the
money and went 10 Altoona the sarne even
ing, where he sold "A revolver that he had
procured from George Harder on verbal
order from Mr. Fowler. Lewis then re-
turned 10 Tyrone on Friday morning, went
TO the hardware store sgain, and repre-
senicd that Fowler had sent him for five
gallons of oil, one hundred pounds OF lead +,
two pounds Of green and a brush. He
procured these goods after some hesitation
on the part Of the dealer. and arranged
with Mr.. Wooden, Of the City Hotel, to
deliver the articles in Altoona, where he
sold them to parties in the city. During
the same morning one of Fowler's men
came into town, and making inquiry,
found that Lewis had obtained goods on
Mr.. Fowler credit by false representa-
iions, and that be had left town evidently
with the intention Of selling out and skip
1 ping away. A warrant for bis arrest was
obtained and placed in the hands Of II. T.
! Hsrphain, who made inquiry rs 10 where
/ Lewis had gone, and upon being informed
Z that he had left for Bells Mills, followed
/ him to that place, but failed 10 find him
I for the very good reason that he had gone
/ 10 Altoona. Saturday morning Mr.. Fowler
came 10 Tyrone and sent Constable Harp
I ham 10 Altoona, where he found out all
about Lewis explorations In the way Of
I selling lead, oil, revolver and brush, but
/ although assisted by the Altoona police,
/ failed TO find his man Lewis, who had no
I doubt taken time by the forclock and left
/ for parts unknown 10 his pursuers. The
/ revolver was sold 10 a Mr.. Watson for
/ $3.50. The oil was disposed Of TO another
/ party at seveniy.three cents gallon, and
/ the 100 pounds of lead for nine dollars.
/ The goods were not recovered. From all
accounts Lewis takes life easy, and when
he has money makes it "hv" in places
where he thinks it will do the most good.

surrounding country was in attendance.
Rev. J. A. Donahue, of the NJ. 4. church,

faithful workman, and was always held in
the highest esteem by his employers. lie

Noble Conduct of a Woman.

Intelligence has been received at
Lloyd's that the German brigantine
Moorburg, Captain H. Boldt, from
China to Melbourne with cargo of
tea, put into Brisbane, Queensland, on
Oct. Ia, in distress, four of her crew
having died on the voyage. She left
Foochow on July IL, the crew consist
ing of Captain Boldt, the mate, four
sailors and Chinese cook. The Cap
tain's wife and little child were also
on board. South of the Solomon group
ship came in sight, but was too far
off to signal, and this was the only YES
sci seen during the whole voyage. On
Aug. an island of the Caroline group
was sighted, and on the Goth Nunes
Island of the Solomon group. At this
time the whole crew were sick, and
only the Captain was able to move, so
that landing was out of the question,
as the natives are reported to be canni-
balls. On Sept. 10 one man of the crew
died, on the goth another, and on Oct.
LIST and 9th third and fourth, so that
only the mate and Captain were left to
manage the vessel. The heat was in
tolerable, and the Captain determined
to steer for Brisbane. On Oct. it
blew a heavy east-southeast gale; the
mate could scarcely crawl, and the
Chinese cook was unable to go aloft,
and being no sailor was of little use
even on deck. The Captain tried to
save the sails, while his wife, small
and by no means robust woman, took
the helm. Besides this the vessel had
been leaking since the LIST of October,
but on the 9Th the leak was found, end
the Captain, although suffering from
swollen legs, let himself down over
board into the water and stopped the
leak. The water already on board
could, however, not be got rid of, as
there was nobody to pump. At length,
on the 18th of October, Cape Morton
Light was sighted, and on the 18th the
pilot came on board, and the vessel
was brought to anchor. On the YES
sells arrival the only person in toler-
ably good health was the Captains
wife. She had rendered extraordinary
services, for she not only tended the
crew while they were sick, but also
regularly took her watch at the helm,
thus rendering it possible for the ship
to be navigated. The mate was re-
duced to skeleton. The Captains
legs were swollen and his hands were
covered with sores. The survivors
were recovering.

Taking Down CIeOpatra's Needle.

The HerGld's correspondent at Alex
andria, Egypt, writing Dec. ~, reports
the safe removal of Cleopatra's Needle
from the pedestal which had supported
it for nearly 1900 years. This pedestal
is Of the same kind of granite as the
obelisk itself, and must have been
brought from the quarry at Syene, near
the first cataract of the Nile. 1t is re-
markable that the existence of this
pedestal, measuring nine feet high and
six feet square, and weighing forty
three tons, was unknown previous to
the present excavations. The obelisk
was formally coded to Commander
Gorringe and Lieutenant SCHNEIDER by
the Governor of Alexandria, on Oct. %.
By the 10th of November the earth was
removed to some twenty feet below the
present level of the soil, and the base
of the obelisk and the large pedestal
resting on three marble slabs were
made visible. The base of the needle
is rounded by age. 1t originally rested
upon four bronze crabs, each about
three feet long by one wide. One of
these crabs was under each corner,
firmly fixed to both obelisk and pedestal
by two bronze bars an inch in diameter
and over foot in length. One of these
bars, projecting perpendicularly from
the back of the crab, is fitted into hole
in the base of the obelisk. The other
bar. descending perpendicularly from
the crabs belly, is fitted into similar
hole in the pedestal. Both of these
bars are firmly soldered with lead.
Owing to the jamming of one of the
claws with a projecting piece of the
base of the pedestal much difficulty was
experienced in lowering the shaft, but
on the 9th the work was successfully
accomplished. When overturned the
obelisk rested on sections of a float,
whence in due time the Needle would
be showed into the steamer intending
to bring it to New York. The steamer
purchased for this purpose was the
Dessouk, of 1000 tons register. The
Dessouk was built in England and
bought by the Egyptian Government
while on the stocks. She is not fast,
but is very strongly built.

wretched sleepy headr' said Mr.
Davenport, wildly. To discharge Or
lando, to go for the police, to rouse the
world, these were Mr.. Davenport first
ideas. He rang up every signal officer
in town. The whole machinery Of tbe
public service was set to work to find
the missing lady.
Mr.. Davenport went after his COACH
man, who, though fully testifying to
the fact that he had been very drunk
could swear that he left the lady at her
own door, at about half-past two in the
morning.
To take a carriage, to drive to Mrs.
Davenport's sisters, to all the nearest
hotels, these were the duties which the
wretched man took upon himself.
In the meantime Mrs. Davenport
slept sweetly in the doctors arm chair
until the housemaid coming in, uttered
loud shrek, and called Robbersr'
To pacify her, to rouse herself. to
step calmly out of the doctors front
door and into her own house was the
work o f moment.
Mrs. Davenport found all of her peo-
pie at home and thoroughly awake, but
where was Mr.. Davenport?
He had left no tidings of himself. He
was wildly searching for her! Know
ing his temperament, Mrs. Davenport
felt sure that he would not return
until he had dragged the East
River. She was at home all right, and
proceeded like a calm woman I'd get
off her ball dress, and satin shoes, and
silken hose, and to put on dress pa
gown and lambs wool, and to take q
cup of tea, to get warm, and then to
reflect upon what should be done with
Mr.. Davenport's case!
" 1t will all be in the papers," said
her president soul, this evening, at
farthest!''
I will telegraph everywherer' said
she, ringing for messenger boy.
"Hullop' said man at the signal
station, this is queer! Here is man
trying to find his wife, and now there
comes along woman who is trying to
find her husband, and they are both
named-Davenportr'
81 dare say-nothing to-each other
common name-ccincidence' -said
the telegraph operator, who had learned
to talk in jerks.
LET me see the NUMBER" said the
signalman.
"39. Yes, it is the same queer
caser'
Wonder what it all means!''
1t was late in the day before hag-
gard man was found standing on the
brink of the East River hugging fan,
pair of gloves and handkerchief.
Mr.. Davenport had evidently taken
these for purposes of identification.
When he was finally rescued and
taken home, after theusual expressions
of mingled affection and disgust, anger,
joy, reproach, and great contentment,
which all married pairs will remember
and furnish for themselves, Mrs.
Davenport remarked plaintively:
Why did you not think of DR..
Montgomery and the speaking tube,
81 don't know, aaeUer thought of it,
how did qou happen to, Coraliep'
est UGS the catn' said Mrs. Daven-
port, gratefully.
Mr.. Davenport, unwilling to trust to
this somewhat uncertain benefactor,
had bell put in, which now rings in
the garnet, and speaking tube, which
communicates with his own room; and
Mrs. d. carries to all the balls now a
large and inconvenient latch-key.-

A Singular Case.

The Oshkosh Northwestern of Jan. II
contained the following item of news
that will prove of great interest to the
medical and surgical fraternity of the
country:
"Amelia Grumall died at her home
in this city on Monday, the 18th inst.
She was the victim of one of the most
singular accidents on record, and her
case will be read with interest by all
students of physiology and anatomy for
all time to come. On the 9th of Sep
TENDER, 1878, while at work in the
shingle-mill of Buckstaff Bros. & Chase,
as single packer, she passed under
a shaft, when her hair caught upon
joint of machine, and in an instant
her whole scalp was taken from her
head. The wound extended from the
nose in front to the first dorsal vertebre
behind, and also took one of her eve
brows, her left ear, and part of the
right ear. The seal p was left at the
place of the accident, and could not be
replaced as it was cold, stiff, and full
OF sawdust and dirt when medical as
sistanced arrived. DIR. c. Linde took
charge of the case, and, although the
unfortunate sufferer was expected to
die, everything possible was done for
her. She was 10 years of age, and up
to the time of the accident in good
health. Under careful medical treat
ment she rallied, and an attempt was
made to graft new skin upon the wound,
but the surface exposed was so great
that nature was unable to cover it with
new flesh. Particles of skin were taken
from the arms of several persons in this
city and attached to the wound, in the
hope that a graft might be sprouted
and the wound healed up, but the at
tempt was not a success. The skull was
laid so completely bare that there was
not sufficient life left to start new
growth.
After treatment by DIR. Linde the
patient went to Milwaukee, where she
entered hospital for a course of treat
ment; but although she improved some
what, the wound did not heal EXCEPT
around the edges. Up to the time of
her death there was large circular
spot on her skull which was raw and
unhealed, and required constant daily
dressing by her attendants. Her gen
eral health soon returned to a certain
extent, and for the past four years she
has been able to do light homework
and to walk out. Within the time
stated, she has had severe attack of
typhoid fever, through which she pass
ed successfully.
About ten days ago, on taking a
severe cold, she was attacked with in
hamation of the brain, superinduced,
no doubt, by the peculiar condition of
her head, and after an illness of about
week death put an end to her suffer-
ings, which must have been horrible
even to contemplate.
