SAD CASE OF SUICIDE. Wednes-
day morning the 5th inst. our com.
munitY was startled by the shocking
news that Mr.. Thomas Hosterman, a
widely-known and prominent citizen
of Haines township, had committed
suicide. The report, at first somewhat
discredited, soon proved only too true.
In the morning of the sad day the fam
lily were up early. Mr.. Hosterman left
the house under pretext of attending
to some Workat the barn. Not returning
when breakfast was waiting, one of
his daughters went out to see what de-
tanned him, and was horror stricken to
find him in the barn with his jugular
vein cut, bleeding to death. With a
common pocket knife he had commit
ed the dreadful act.
For some time past Mr.. Hosterman
had suffered under disturbed state of
mind and was frequently very much
depressed. He was in good circum-
stances and surrounded by highly re-
spectacle family who has Sthe deepest
sympathies of the entire community.
The remains Of decedent were bur-
led in the new cemetery at Woodward,
on Thursday following. Rev. P. G..
Weidemyer preached in English and
Rev. E. Stambach in German, to the
large concourse of people that had as
sembled.
! Mr.. Hosterman was in the Goth year
of his age.

"HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOAD
ED. ."--Ea rly on Monday morning Wal
lace kerstetter, one our young men,
was amusing himself, with pistol In
Spigelmyer's store. Of course he did
not know it was loaded, but it was,
and discharged its contents through
Wallaces' hand. The wound is not
dangerous, though painful.
Young men are little slow to learn
that pistols are not exactly the best
toy to play with.

We had the pleasure of call last
aveek, by Mr.. John A. Woodward, who
is candidate for legislature, as will
be seen by formal announcement in an
other column. Mr.. Woodward resides
near Howard. and is farmer from
choice. Besides farming he edits with
much ability the Agricultural Epit0miSt
a semi-monthly journal published at
Watsontown. Mr.. Woodward ia a
gentleman of information and culture,
we'll versed in the political history of the
country, aud positive and thorough
Democrat besides.
Some business men think it does
not pay to advertise, while others think
it does. Among the latter is the ex
tensive and popular Bee Hive Dry
Goods house of Lock Haven. The
JOURNAL has advertised the Bee Hive
regularly for the last SIX years, and the
enterprising proprietors feel satisfied
that it pays them well for every dollar
thus expended. There is no store in
Lock Haven that is so we'll known to
the people of the valleys as the Bee
Hive-none that does so large and reg
ular trade to this part of Centre
county. 2t
This week it falls to onr lot to an
nounce the depart ure of two of our a.
ged fathers into the eternal world
John Bierly, of Brush Valley and Geo.
IIarter, of Millheim. Both were men
of spotless character and reputation,
prominent and active members Of the
Christian church.
They were excellent types Of that
sturdy, industrious, plain and honest
class of people so well and favorable
known as Pennsylvania Germans. Af-
ter long lives we'll spent they go down
to their graves respected by the entire
community.
May they rest i'll peace.

A Singing Drunk.

Last evening an aged man named
Ezra Pyle was attracting quite crowd
on King street, and the chief ordered
an officer to bring him in for fear that
something might happen to him. At
ter he was put in the cell the old man
commenced singing hymns at the top
of his voice, and when he would cease
for a moment, it was only to calculate
amen or hallelujah. He kept this up
for some time but finally went to sleep,
and this morning was evidently on the
stool of repentance when he was pi aeed
in the dock. Upon the Mayor asking
him how he felt this morning he re-
piled "Oh, very bad, your Honor, my
head aches and want to 60 home" "
The tears were streaming down the old
fellows face, but the Mayor told him
that people who danced must always
pay the fiddler, and as he had such
good time last night he should not
object to pay 80 cents and costs.

A seizure of some Importance was
made on Wednesday by o custom Off.
Ger in New York. On the arrival o
the steamship ST, Laurent, of thu
French Transatlantic Line, at her dock
and while IRE baggage of her passen-
gers was undergoing examination, In
spector John Pullman observed thai
one of them betrayed good deal o.
nervousness. His name was d. Ohatu
meau, and he is a Frenchman. He haG
with him handsome steamer valise
and when it was opened he earnestly
protested that there was nothing in Il
thai was dutiable.
Inspector Pullman, however, had
served an apprenticeship, as a cabinet
maker, and was accustomed to meas
ure the dimensions of objects with his
eye, He saw Immediately on. exanin
ing the interior of the valise that there
was lack of proportion between it and
its outward appearance, and his sus
picions we're confirmed on sounding its
bottom, which he found to be double.
Between the upper and lower thickness
there was space an inch in depth, di
vided into three compartments by cross
pieces which served to support the
former. The inside of the trunk was
covered with the same lining through
out both below and above the secret
partition. In the upper part there
we're few articles of clothing loosely
packed. On breaking through the false
bottom score or more of small pack.
ages were revealed. They contained
articles of iewelry which in the aggre.
gate are estimated TO be worth about
$4,000, I''.-r.--,
They are as follows, 43 gold breast
pins, terra Gotta pieces, representing
slippers and Otnamented with Masonic
designs; diamonds, "a canoes, 6 blood
stones, "a settings for diamonds, -
gold watch charms, set with precious
stones; 43 gold perfumery bottles, 9S
gold rings, 225 gold scarf pins and 213
precious stones.
Chatumeau, when he found that his
attempt to smuggle had failed, tritd
to seduce tho customs inspecto: to be
his accomplice. He at first, it is alleg.
ed, offered him $40 to allow the valise
to pass unexamined, and when the lat.
ter refused this sum told him to name
his own price. 1t is probable that a
warrant for the arrest of Chatumeau
will be issued to-day on charge of
attempted bribery OF a federal officer.

Investigation into the case of Jacot
ISutter the old soldier who hassbeen stay
ing in this city for several das =, shows
that instead of his not having been as
sisted by the members of the G. A. R.,
4 he was a pensioner on them from the
time he had arrived in this city until
he left. The poSts coul not take any
action In the matter, as he did not ar
rive until after the Smyth, Post had
their regular weekly meeting, and left
the city before the DUPONT Post held
theirs. Neither Of the posts are wealthy,
but they have never failed to assist a
worthy soldier in distress and Sutter
received help from every member OF The
g. A. r. to whom he applet.
Last Tuesday he called on gentle"
man well. known in this city, and a
prominent official in the order, who as
soon as he heard his staten en5 provided
him with a good substantial meal, and
besides supplying him with money
out of his own pocket, told him to
come around again before lie got
ready to leave the city, aud he would
see that he WAS provided with means to
get TO his destination, The members of
the G. A. II. at the Police Station as
sisted him and Col. Wainwright, De-
partment Commander, was unceasing
in his effort to see that the cd man was
provided for,
There is no doubt but what Sergeant
Jones and MIR. Fletcher collected mon
ey to help him, but it is equally certain
that he was assisted and cared for by
the Grand Army. There is another
view of this matter, which gives rise
to the question whether it is not as
much the duty of those who remained
at home during the war, to take care OF
these old crippled soldiers, as it is of the
men who went to the war TO protest
their homes.
From the way in which Sutter acted,
it is more than probable that he belong
ed to that class of the army, who al
though some of them may even have
been wounded in the field, never per.
formed any service they could get out
of, and have managed to live off other
people ever since they came home.

Daniel then knocked her down and tore

"why you must have had a high old

Charles Camp. The prosecutor testified
that he is annoyed very much by the
prisoner, who came to his house yeste =
day and after breaking pane of glass
acted in very disorderly manner,
and said that he would burn the house
down.
Mrs Mary Russum testified that she
is the wife of the prisoner, and on ac
count of his failure to provide for he1
and the children, she is compelled to
keep boarders, among whom Mr.. Camp,
the prosecutor. She says that Russum
came to the house yesterday and tried
to stab heT with penknife. The pris-
oner said that he had moved here some
time ago from Rockland, and while he
was living on French street, he got out
of work and went to Chester to seek
employment. When he came back he
found Camp, who boarded with him,
had induced his wife to take the goods
and move to No. 526 walnut street,
and they refused to lot him come there.
The Mayor told him that he should
have adopted some other means 10 get
his goods, and imposed fine of $40 and
