DEATH OF Two OLD PEoPLE.-On
Friday morning, Mr.. Jacob Heinle, the
father of District Attorney Heinle, of
Bellefonte, died at the residence OF Mr..
Elias Miller, at Madison6urg, ut the
advanced age Of Sc years. Deceased
was native of Germany, and was we'll
known and respected by the people Of
this and neighborng valleys, haYing
for many years kept the toll-gate in the
mountains between Madisonburg and
Nittany Hall and of late years the one
in the Gap north of town. His busi-
ness naturally caused him to lead a
secluded life, his only company being
his daughter, and thus he became Il
great lover of good literature. He will
be remembered rs man who was al
ways at his post and ready to attend to
his duties, with pleasant word for all
the travellers who passed his place.
A strange coincidence, suited to
make the event more sad, is, that on
the same day, with but few hours in
tervening, and in the same house, Mrs.
Elias Miller. an aged lady of Madison
burg, also departed this life. The re-
mains of Mrs. Miller were followed to
the grave by large concourse of people
on Sunday morning, and Rev. Dotterer
preached very appropriate sermon on
that occasion. In the afternoon of the
same day Mr.. Heinle was buried in the
same cemetery, Rev. Deitz'er, of "A
ronsburg, and Rev. Bright, of Kansas,
officiating.

into her own house, started to walk th'
few rods that INTERVIEWED, carrying th,
baLy in her arms, the little boy runnin!
along beside her. On the way thi
