The pfautch-Loclner Homicide.

Full particulars of the killing of Jacob
Lockner usually called Lockman) did not
reach us in time for publication, and we could
give but the plain fact that Lockner had been
killed by Andrew Ptautch, together with the
rumors then ahoat. Below will be found the
testimony given at the inquest held by Justice
Azariah Oursler, furnished us by gentleman
who was present and wrote down the evidence
as delivered. The inquest was held on Friday
OF last week, the day of the shooting. Here is
the testimony, which appears TO make the
killing deliberate act: ..-a.
Calvin Lockner testifed-''I am the son of
Jacob Lockner, aged II years left home at
$50 o clock with father; walked quarter of
a mile towards Pfautch's house; when within
about fifty yards of the house father turned to
90 up the right hand road towards Houck' $
store, took the left hand road past Pfautchs
house: | saw Pfautch come out of his gate
with gun in his hand Ipassed him; Pfautch
came out into the road he had threatened to
shoot me and / was frightened and went about
fifteen yards further to the road and called
to father that old Pfautch was going to shoot
me Pfautch said 'go on, ! amt going to
hurt YOU" father came up; Pfautch came
out into the road and father cussed and said
to him you We got to let my son alone; :
Pfautch said Il aim going to hurt your son =
father said You are after my son every day
W
put up the gun and fire it with the muzzle
about half yard from father; Pfautch went
in the house with his gun; saw him looking
out the window; | ran to father who had fall
en- backwards and turned on his side; | cried
out my God! y and then hallooed; | knew
father was dying and ran down to the mill for
Mr. Winchester father cried "God save me"
as he fell.
Willie Hoffman testifed-''I am ten years
old know what it means to swear to tell the
truth if | swear to tell the truth and then
don't do it, the bad man will get me. ! saw
Mr. Ptautch come out of his house, about forty
yards from where | was standing, go to the
gate and out into the road with gun in his
hand. | saw Cal. Lockner going up the road
behind Pfautch. Saw Mr.. Lockner come up
the road from the bridge, running. He told
Pfautch to let his son alone; Lockner had
nothing in his hand but bucket Lockner
and Ptautch stood about yard apart and
talked a moment; Pfautch' s face was toward
me. When he fired the gun it was about a
foot from Lockner.
Pere Winchester testified to examining the
body of Lockner, and to taking Pfautch to
Westminster. where he was delivered to the
authorities.
John +. Stansbury and Charles Arbaugh
testified that they had heard Ptautch recently
say that he had gun loaded for Lockner and
would kill him before the winter was over.
DR.. W. X. Fringer testified that he had eX-
amined the body of Lockner; that he had
been killed by shot from a gun fired close
to his body that the shot passed through a
vest and three shirts, into the body, cutting the
lower small intestine; that Lockner died from
''shock :" that with such a wound he could
not under any circumstances have lived over
half an hour.

We have had some heavy falls of rain lately,
otherwise the weather continues to be warm
and mild. On the afternoon of Tuesday last
the thermometer stood above temperate.
We had about the usual number of drunken
men reeling around on Saturday and Monday,
and even on the Sabbath there were not a few
who seemed from their walk to have more sail
than ballast. On Saturday night we had for
our little town. an unprecedented amount Of
rowtyism, manifestly in defiance of the ordi
nanceS Of the town council. This breach of
decency and good order would be the more
pardonable if boys had been the only depre-
dators That. however, does not seem to have
been the case, and we hope that the course Of
the law will lead these persons to feel that to
be a gentleman requires that man act as a
gentleman. and not as one of those animals
which Spitzka. one of Guitcau experts, said
he sometimes doctored.
The children attending the NJ. p. Sabbath
School here received a Christmas treat on
Monday night. The exercises were opened
by the choir singing coronation, followed

by the pupils consisted of appropriate decla
nations aud readings, rendered by J. WILDER
Yeats. William &. Jones, Miss Jessie Anders,
Miss Mary Myers and Miss Fannie Jones' at
ter which the pupils, numbering about forty,
each received package, consisting OF candy,
&c.. &C.. and several special tokens of merit.
At intervals during the evening the choir, led
by Mr. X. Billmyer, Miss NJ. Repp presiding
at the organ. sang Christmas carols with pleas
inc effect. Notwithstanding the evening was
very rainy, there was a large attendance of
parents and others, who seemed to take pleas
urc in the enjoyment. The decoration of the
room, the children treat and the general eX-
ercises, are best described in the words of
Goldsmith - abundance without profusion,
and elegance without affectaton.

Christmas, the festal season and joyous oc-
caslon of the year, passed off very pleasantly
with us, nothing unusual occurring to charac-
terize the day further than it was observed as
day of reunion and festivity. The usual
services were held at Bethel Church, conduct
ed by Rev. c. A. Ried, who preached an able
sermon from the words, "What think We OF
Christi
New Year will soon make its appearance
and let us all remember that it is the season
of kind remembrances, of social greetings, OF
smiling faces and happy hearts. The feelings,
both of the old and young, should break forth
with freer flow to join the congratulations OF
the New Year. Animosities, long cherished:
should be buried hearts alienated should be
reconciled, and passion and prejudice cooled.
Then we can hail the New Year. and give it a
hearty welcome.
Messrs. J. F. Ensor and c. f. Carlisle,
both of whom have been attending Business
College in Baltimore, came home TO spend the
holidays. On last Sunday night as Mr.. Car
Isle and his lady were coming from the meet
ing at Stone Chapel, and when nearing Med
ford, station on the Western Maryland Rail
road, the coupling of his buggy broke, landing
both of them into mud puddle. The horse
started off, dragging him in the mud, but he
soon regained his feet and stopped the horse.
We are truly glad to say that neither one of the
occupants got hurt. His buggy being so badly
broken he borrowed one from a neighbor and
went on without further trouble. We suppose
Mr.. c. found quite a contrast between the
mud puddle and the streets of Baltimore.
Misses Maggie and Hilda Stem spent the
holidays in Baltimore.
The usual Christmas services of the st.
James Sunday School IN. E. Church South
took place on last Wednesday evening. The
church was completely packed long before the
hour stated for the exercises to begin. The
exercises were open by the school singing
''The Welcome lay" under the leadership OF
Jos. T. Stem, who is their worthy superinten-
dent, after which Rev. Cecil offered prayer.
This over the school sang ''The Star of Beth
lehem,'; when Mr.. Guy Albaugh, in appro-
pirate remarks, welcomed the audience. 1t
is useless for US to give in detail the pro-
gramme, for it would take up too much of
your valuable space. There were thirty,
each having a speech or dialogue, inter,
spersed with singing by the school. All of
them spoke distinctly and acted their parts
well. After this they had two large Christmas
trees loaded down with presents which were
at once distributed taking one hour to do it,
then they were dismissed, the school singing

SLEEP.--There is no fact mere clearly es-
tablished in the physiology of man than this,
that the brain expends its energies and
itself during the hours Of wakefulness, and
that these are recuperated during sleep; II
the recuperation does not equal the expendi-
ture the brain withers this is insanity.
Thus it is that in early English history per-
sons who were condemned to die by being
prevented from sleeping always die raving
manacs (; thus it is also that those who are
starved to death become insane the brain Is
not nourished, aud they cannot sleep. The
practical inference are three

brain work, require more sleep.
