SHARTLEsvILLE, Pa. June 15-Joel
Brensinger, aged 40, a lunatic who
escaped from the home of his father
in Schuylkill county, passed through
this place yesterday afternoon. He
went to the house of Mahlon Spang-
Ter, and attempted to enter it by
force. When he found that he could
not enter he became frantic with
rage, destroying fences and trees,
and killing large number of chick
ems. He was driven away by the
firing of q pistol. Next he entered
the house of Emanuel Long. Mrs.
Long being the only person
at home became frightened
gnd gavethe alarm to the nsighbors.
They collected and tried to capture
the wild man, but without avail.
He fought savagely. He was cover
ed with blood from an injury receiv-
ed while passing through the wood.
He broke into the wagon shed OF
Charles Kaufman, and with hatch
ct that was found there destroyed
two valuable wagons, besides chop
ping up a lot of walnut timber. AT
the house of John Leitz he entered
the kitchen and broke all the dishes.
Great efforts were made to cap
ture him by the farmers through
whose lands he went, but to no
purpose.

possesses the strength of four men
and weighs 200 pounds. His father
had him confined in ar outbuildlng

effects of the drugs which he took at

The Freshet.

SPRINGFIELD, VT. June f0.-At 3
o'clock this morning the church
bells pealed out another alarm to
the inhabitants, the experience of
Yesterdays freshet seeming in fair
way to be repeated. From 10 a. M,
the rain fell in torrents, and the brook
soon resumed its dangerous proper
tons. The scenes of yesterday were
then re-enacted. The wster ran
through the hotel and other struct-
ures foot deep, depositing large
quantities of mud. The pathway of
the water had, however, been pretty
effectually cleared, and the damage
to property could not be repeated.
Main street this morning presents
an extremely dilapidated appear
ance.. The street in some places is
washed out fifteen and twenty feet
deep. All the other streets are also
badly damaged. Many tons of mud
are deposited ON the iron bridge over
the falls, and the structure is thought
to be in danger of collapse. 1t is i'm
possible to come in or go out of the
village with team. The estimated
losses are now $4,000 to business
interests and many thousands to the
roads. Rain is still falling.

The family consisted of the boy, a
sister of years and their mother.
They lived in sparsely settled

cry. The mother and daughter were
both dead. The former had her
head mashed, and the latter's throat
was cut from ear to ear. The boy
was found crouched in a corner,
