Colonel Burch6eid, commander of the
Fifth regiment, y. Il. P. has issued General
Order No. 6, in which, amongst other things,
he recites that "Comparies A. Q. ID. 2 and

likely it will leave here for Lewistowu or the

Mr.. Andrew Porter, of Susduehanna
township, brother of Mr. James Porter,
special clerk in the Register and Recorders
Office, this place, was struck on the head by
stone at log camp in Barr township, on
Thursday last and pretty severely injured.
1t seems that Mr.. Porter inteTfered ina quar-
rel between a man named McDermitt and his
wife, who keep a boarding house at the log
camp in question, and this so angered the
bellgeTent husband that he went cunning
for Porter, bat was soon dIsaTmed and sub
dued by that gentleman, who gave him
good choking before getting through with
him. This only added fuel to the flames, and
McDermitt's s next resort was to stones, which
he threw so awkwardly, however, that he
failed to do any damage until, on his own
proposition to fight fair, the parties got into
close quarters, when McDermitt struck Por-
ter on the head with stone which he had
concealed behind, knocking him senseless,
causing the blood TO gush from his mouth and
nose, and, as we haYe already said, infiicting
very severe injuries. No legal proceedings
had been Instituted against McDermitt at
latest accounts, but it was thought they
would be when Mr.. Porter had recovered
sufficiently to attend to the matter.

A SELFMADE PoRKER. Altoona
Tribune tells a story about pet pig owned
by Mr. James Piper, of the Fountain Inn,
three miles east of Summitvile this county
which IS awfully piggish, to say the least. 1t
declares that the pig in question, having
been raised on Alderney milk, became so
heightened that it wouldn't deign to touch
the milk furnished by COW of the common
breed. Mr.. Piper thought to control its ap-
petite by Withholding the lacteal fluid, when
Mr.. Pig, after failin in an assault and bat
terry on the COW, made a raid upon the
spring house, where Mr. Piper and his neigh
Dor, old JOsy Weisser kept their milk togeth-
er. The door was locked and the windows
barred, but the spring house being built
against the mountain, the roof at the rear
was even with the ground and Mr.. Pig pro-
ceeded ito root off the roof, crawled in the
hole and let himself fall nine feet to the floor
of the spring, where he feasted upon Alder
ney milk without ever disturbing the milk OF
cream of the common COW, which was in
as close proximity to him.

WITH VARIATIONS SOCIAL SCANDAL IN
WHICH CREssON TOOK A HANDn

We condeuse from the Philadelphia Press
Of Monday the following interesting partic-
uiarS Of the unpleasant experience Of an old
man who was fool enough to marry a young
woman
Five years ago a gray-haIred gentleman who re-
sides IN Philadelphia. named J. Il. Newman, mar
ried young and beautiful woman. He was a
wealthy real estate agent and owned a fne resi-
one child and appeared to live happily together
Not many months ago it began to be rumored that
tention from gentleman prominently connected
with the Adams ExpIess Company. Mr. Newman
heard OF these rumors and becoming satisfied sew
eral weeks ago that they we're true, had square
interview with his wife in regard to the devoted
attentions paid her by the gentleman in question.
Matters remained in stdtu quo however until two
weeks ago last Saturday, when as the husband al
and ito nurse to Cresson, giving her seven na1tk
checks for $50 each and 800 in money which he
thought would be sufficient to ''pay her expenses
for month al least" About a week a fter
her departure Newman received a newspaper from
Cresson with the name of his wife's admirer mark
ed as among the arrivals at that place In a few
days after he was greatly surprised to see a car
to the door of his reaidence. Mrs n greeted him
ahectionately and attempted to kiss He repuIsed
certain occurrences at Cresson before he would
take any kissing in his. Mrs N tbereupon retired
to her room, and the old man proceeded to ques-
tl3n heH, Ihe nurse; ABOUT the doings Of his wife
while at Cresson. where ne evidently had a spv to
watch her movements. From the nurse he learned
that on the thursday after his wife came to Cres-
son her lover arrived there and met at the de-
POT py MrS- y before MS arrival Mrs n. and the
nurse and child occupied communicating rooms
but after he put in an appearance Mrs N told tho
nurse, and she told that lady's husband that il
was too expensive to have her (the nurse) in such
large room, and she was removed TO another one
an a distant part Of the building. Then the nurse
added to all this that Mrs. n. and the man were
so constantly together at Cresson, that they were
supposed to be husband and wife. Newman hav-
ing heard the statement of the nurse went up
stairs TO his wife'S and asked her why She
had come back so soon, 70 which she replied that
Cresson was very duh. stupid place and that she
could not endure 1T. Then Newman said some
thing about the man referred to. and that brought
on regular quarrel, in which Mrs n. struck at
him with something she held in her hand and he
seized her and tried to put her out of the ROOM but
he couldn't do IL, and being in his shirt sleeves
she nrmly clutched them and pulled wickedly
that in the struggle he lost his entire shirt. Mrs
n. then lett the house. but returned in a day so
when her husband was absent. and succeeded in
spiritn2 away the child, after which she made in
formation before an Alderman against Newman
for assault and battery. "As for Mrs. Newman,
wish never to see her again. is what the husband
saws.

COOPED FOR CROoKEDNEss. s.-SOme time
in March of the present year the lOg-camp
of Squire John Fiske, in Reade township,
was robbed of a considerable quantity of per
sOnal property, such as bedticks, blankets
sledgeS, knives ana forks, etc Suspicion
was in course of time directed towards a
family named Dixon, residing in the same
township, as the perpetrators of the robbery
and last Saturday a couple of constables
made a descent Oh the premises they Occu-
py Certain of the stolen property was
found therein, and Rowland Dixon and ISa-
iah Dixon, father and son respectively were
arrested and brought TO this place and accor-
ded hearing before Justice Kinkead In
default or bail they were placed behind the
bars. The following sunday James Dixon
another son CT Rowland Dixon, was arrested
in Clearfeld county, his name appearing in
the warrant along with the names Of the two
others. He, also, came before Justice Kin
kead, couldn't give bail, and went to Jail
James, il seems, undertook to resist the Off
GERS when they esSaYed his arrest, and it
was necessary to knock him down twice be-
fore he could arrive az n realization of the
fact that the'demands Of the law were super
ior to all considerations of a private OF per-
sonal nature. Squire Fiske lives in White
township, where a store owned by his father
and himself has been twice buTglaTiZed with
in couple Of years. We do not know that
it is charged against the DIxons that they
had hand in these depredatiOns, but the
matter no doubt will be sifted as thoroughly
as possible.

a WOMAN KILLED on THE RAILROAD
The day express train which arrived in this
city at noon Yesterday, says the Altoona Tri-
b'1ae of Monday. killed a woman at the Mill
wood water trough, a short distance east of
Derry. The train, which was hauled by Mr..
Joseph Kennedy, one of the most reliable
engineers on the road, and in charge Of Con
ductOr Dinwiddie, arrived at the place where
the accident occurred about 10 O'Clock, run
ming about twenty-five miles an hOuT-a little
slower than at other places in order to take
water from the trough. When the engineer
rounded the curve west of the trough he OBJ
served a woman in her bare feet walking in
the trough directly i'm front of him. Her
back was to the approaching train and she
did not seem to hear il, neither did a man
and little girl who stood on the bank by
the side Of the track. The engineer pulled
the whistle, at the same time applying the
air brakes to the train, aud made every effort
to stop, but it was impossible. In spite of
the screaming whistle, the woman continued
to wade through She water and the man and
little Girl kept looking down the track. The
train bore down on the unfortunate woman.
She was struck on the limbs and back
knocked dCwn in the trough, and pushed
ahead until the train was brought to a stand
still. The engine did not run over her, but
her head was nearly severed from her body
her legs were broken, and sic was frightfullv
mangled. The husband seemed daZed and
in response to inquiries mumbleO something
that no one understood. The remains were
placed on a west-bound fIeight train and
taken to Derry.
