Killed by a Vicious Bull.
MCCLURE. ,July If fgs

MCCLURE, July II, 1881.
FRIEND CRousK:-I take this meth
cd Of informing the readers of your
paper, and more especially the friends
and relatives, of the sad death of our
beloved and highly esteemed cousin
Joseph j. Friedley of Seneca county,
Ohio. The deceased came to his death
In the following manner:
On the cath day OF June last he went
to his barn early In the morning to
attend to his stock, and az he went in
to the stall to feed vicious bull, the
animal made n plunge at him, caught
him on his horns and threw him near
ly to the joist. His son hearing the
noise went to his fathers assistance.
caught the bull by the ring in his nose
and held him until his father was re
leased. Immediately after he was
hurt he said he could not recover.
The best medical aid was procured,
but OF no avail, he continued to sink
rapidly from the time he was injured
until the 30th at o'clock p. NJ, when
his spirit took its flight, we hope, TO n
better land where sorrow, nor death
can never reach us.
The deceased was son OF Ludwig
and Rebecca Friedley, (the latter II
sister Of the late Ner Middleswarth,
deceasedD. His parents removed to
Seneca county when Joseph was n
mere lad. He was abundantly blest
with this worlds goods, being the
owner of several of the finest farms in
Seneca Co. He was II member OF the
Presbyterian church and christian
gentleman, beloved and respected by
all who knew him.
In November last himself and wife
visited his Snyder county friends for
the third and last time; when he left
for his home he assured his friends
that ii his life was spared he would
again repeat his visit. lie loved and
cherished the home and nativity of his
long departed parents.
The bereaved family have the SYM
pnthy Of all their relatives and friends

Look Dat For Him.

The ninrty-tive cent swindle that has
been so successfully carried on III the
larger cities has been Introduced here.
The way the pioneer sharper works III
this city is as follows. He enters Il
store and calls for some small article
tina, will cone to five cents; he then
hands two dollar nute in payment,
ami generally receives dollar note or
silver dollar ard ninety-tive cents III
change. He places the dollar IN hi,
pocket, and suddenly finding five
cent piece in that receptacle, a.'olosiZes
for making trourle in gettrg the bllI
changed, and, placing the niuty-hve
cents pushes it towards the stOrefeeper
asking for dollar bill saying ha dis.
likes to carry so much silver. Upon
the unsuspscting s'orekeeper placing Il
dollar on tie coun cr, the sharper ell
cages him in talking until he can place
both the change ami the bill 'ogether.
when he coolly asks the victim to ex-
change the two dollars on the counter
Tor til. two dollar bill which lie had
originally given him.

The BracktnvtlIe Revival.

The Conference Worker, says: For
some weeks past quite an extensive re-
vival has been in progress at Brackin-
vile, a small village on the Lancaster
pike, and about eight miles from this
city. How it was brought about it may
be interesting to know. 1t was through
the instrumentality of class leader
whose name we did not learn, who
moved to this place not long since, and
having expressed to Bro. Hendrickson,
a local preacher, the thought that a
prayer-meeting would do good to the
people, finally began holding meetings
in an old wheelwright shop spreading
straw on the ground and using for seats
such material as could be obtained.
Few people came at first, but the
interest grew and the audiences also
grew AMI penitents came forward tc
the place Of prayer and were con verted.
