Highway Robbery. Saturday afternoon
last, daring and dastardly robbery
occurred in the pines, above AL. Clouser's
residence, on the road to Newport cem-
etery. From all the information we
could learn, the particulars are about as
follows: Levi Steinbarger, who resides
in Penn township, was in Newport, and
had sum of money amounting to about
1925. While in town he ran across
some old cronies, with whom he imbib-
ed little too freely, rendering himself
unfit to take care of himself. Just before
the arrival of the Mail train west, at
three o'clock, on which he intended to
take passage for Lewistown, one of his
friends "took him walk" to the loca-
tiou above mentioned, where they were
met by three others. While in semi
unconscious condition, from the effects
of drink, Levi says he was robbed of his
money. Persons who saw the party say
they could recognize them, and 1t is to
hoped that Levi will make information,
and have the punishment meted out, as
deserved. A highway robbery to be per-
petrated in or near our town, and left go
unpunished, is not very good recon-
mendation to the peace of Newport

OF Interest to Teachers.-Dr. Higbee,
the new State Superintendent of public
instruction, is calling in the permanent
certificates held by teachers, and will
compel them to undergo re-examina-
ton before they can take out new ones.
Many of the teachers employed in this
comfy hold such certificates from the
State, which licenses the holder to teach
in any part of the State. Without one
teacher can not teach outside of his
own county. The examination of appli-
cants for State certificates is very rigid,
and teachers holding such certificates
will likely be compelled to devote
months to refreshing their memory in
certain branches Patriot.

A SURPRISE Administrator Hines, of
Greencastle, Pa, in settling up the es-
tate of the late Jacob Smeltzen, in Bell
twp, made discovery which proves
interesting. The will leaves each of his
three sons farm, and to each of his
three daughters the sum of 81 600 is left.
In addition to this part of his estate,
was left three pots of gold and silver
coin which had been buried under the
hearth in the kitchen. The exact
amount cannot be correctly determined,
but 1t is supposed to be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. No one even suspected
that such treasure was buried there,
as the old man had never mentioned it
to any one. The deceased carried a
tumor weighing sixty pounds on his
right leg for the last thirty years of his
life.- Valley Spirit.

senger called Black, but one Of the sailors
said that Black was friend Of his, and, be
sides, Black had a wife on board. SO
Holmes, who had bit of human nature
about him still, said he'd be hanged if he'd
part man and wife vet a WHILE and spared
Black Then Black and his wife embraced
each other. and the wife spent the rest Of
that awful night on her knees, saying her
prayers and thanking the good God.
The long boat now had only twenty-eight
passengers Counting H0lmes), and did not
set so low in the sea as before, but Holmes
thought there were several people IN lt yet
too many. 80 he got hold Of a passenger
named Charles COmlin, who was CrOuchinE
down among the women. Come, said
Holmes to the crouching wretch. sit is yeur
turn. " ''AIr. Holmes, dear. whined Con-
lin, pitifUlly, "Mr. Holmes, dear, You
wouldn't put NE out would you Q" '-Ch,
Conlin, dear" whined Holmes, initiating
him, "Oh Conlin, dear, / viii put YOU out,
won't / 90 and giving the sign, Conlin was
thrown into the sea. The poor wretch beg
Ced and pleaded for life. but il was Of no
avail He was hurled into the ocean like
the res+.
Holmes and the sailors rested a while from
their work OF destruction, and Holmes threw
himself into the stern OF the boat, and fell
asleep; slept with the load of three men and
two women sent to their account by him in
less than an hour, the coolest criminal ever
heard Of.
When he awoke the next morning he
lUUDu llal there were sun -GAeIal klac1tL gers
left, two OF whom had been hiding during
the night When these two were discovered
they commenced 10 bail out the boat. hoping
that their services might save them. But
Holmes waited till they had bailed out all Of
the water, and then threw them overheard,
one after the other.
Seven human beings had now been thrown
overheard There were only twenty-five
left on board The long boat was lightened
by over one thousand pounds, and Holmes
was satisfied.
a few hours after all these horrors had
been committed. the lung-b0at met a passing
vessel. The crew was taken on board, and
it was proved by the facts in the case that
not only were all these awful horrors Of That
night sheer murders, but that eIl these uur-
deIS were unnecessary. II he had only
waited twelve hours, seven people would
have been alive who were now dead. aud the
man Holmes would have had seven crimes
less to answer for at the bar OF sod
lie answered for them at the bar Of man.
He was tried for his crime, and was sen
fenced for i've years to the States prison.

For an instant we hesitated-wEO would
not?-and then FASTENED to the body and re-
moved the covering. There was no altera-
ton in its pallor and rieidity, but we per-
ceived that the lips, from which a faint muir
muring was issuing, trembIed slightly. Here
ourinstincts conquered our weakness. What
ever the mystery involved in the matter. a
human being was struggling to regain exist
ence, and our impulse was 10 aid him with
out question. 4 powerful restorative was
administered, ard, before many moments had
passed, we saw the color coming back to the
wan checks and the shrunken muscles re-
shaping themselves with the current of
warm sblood. Then with az fainti sigh the
eyes opened and gazed at US inquiIingly. In
a word, gentleman, the dead was restored to
life
1T is needless to detail what followed. In
the meeting which occurred between these
two peor young creatures, we felt ourselves
more than repaid for the startling experiences
of the previous night 1t can do no harm to
add that we claim and exercise the right of
securing their future prosperity out of our
ample means. We learned no more of their
former history than that the persecution Of
those whose wishes their marriage had oppOs-
ed had driven them to hide their poverty and
misfortune in the wilderness. We have
heard of them since.
''The young man, as we discoveTd on ques-
tioning him, remembered nothing of his sen
sations while unconscious, except vague,
dreamlike, and yet intense sorrow for his
young wife. He had no knowledge whatever
of the voice which had addressed us, and ap-
peared to believe that he had labored under
temporary suspension Of animation arising
from starvation. We did not combat his be-
4 lief, for we believed that he was actually dead,
and that he only returned to life through his
great love. Who will deny that love is
/ stronger than death, and that it goes with us
