The wIIa man OF rannu,.

A dispatch from Mahaiv. ClearfieId
county. to the Pittsburg Com Gazette, says
"The people OF this village are trying to
solve a mystery. on Saturday. May 90,
a gentleman driving along the load leading
frem CurwensYille TO this plate, noticed
smoke issning from pine thbket on The
south side of the river a nile below
Mahaffy. In the center Of tht thIcket
there Is ar old tumble down leg stable,
used years ago by lumbermen FOR their
horses. The ground adjacent TO The thicket
is an open common used as a pasure fer
cattle. On Saturday last while a Mr.
Johnson was looking for his CIV, he
noticed 4 man suddenly bound out OF the
stable and make for the woods as If afraid
to meet a fellow creature. Or 1'her
occasions this same man has been seen
but always frd Ike q wild animal when
observed. Yesterday Squire W. W Nc.
Quown and Emery MahsfTy made an
investigation OF the place and found in the
old place a rude bed made Of hemhek
boughs aud a fire place few feet frm
the couch, where the strange individual
cooked his meals.
No person was 70 be seen, howeve.
The hermit had evidently noticed tA
approach Of the party and escaped to tn,
mountain, 2 short distance back of his
lonely habitatiOn. 4 more desolate place
for human being could not be found.
a den Of rattlesnakes, only few hundred
feet from his camp, which is the terror OF
the neichborhoOd, must certainly furnish
weird music for ihe lone citizen. The
hermit is a man about 40 years of age, oI
all and commanding figure. His hair and
beard are unkempt, and he looks as though
he had been rOughing it for months.
who Is he? Is the question the people
of Mahaffy are anxious to baye answered

since the last map was published pine new
townships have been formed thereby render

publishing contains maps OF the United
States and county and each township and
village thereof a history Of the county and
each OF its townships portraits and bIog
raphies OF its representive citizens views
OF residences. farms, places of business and
many features that tends 20 make the work
complete in Itself. and which at tie same
tune commends 1t to the special favor OF the
public.
In binding, engraving, printing and gen
eral beauty OF design and execution those
works have in our estimation no superior.
This Is very important work for our conn

Knocking ON. a Faith Cure.

A Christian scientist. whose time
was fully occupied in thinking about
the unreality disease, at 81 per think,
once treated y highly unapprcciative
Il for chronic nervous affection of n
very painful character. Under the
glowing promises of a speedy rccov-
cry which the healer made, the man
came every day to get his 81 worth of
thought on the non-cxistcnce of his
complaint, and all went well for sew.
cral weeks. AT the end of that time,
the pain continuing with a cheerful
assiduity that could rot be disregard
cd, the patient grew FESTIVE and init
mated that, although he had paid out
$40. there vas not a cents less pain
than before. He also respectfully SUBJ
mittcd that n clear statement of lust
about when the amclioration was ex-
pected would be highly satisfactory to
him and his family, who were cramped
by the daily depletion of their funds.
Then the Christian scientist wnxed
wroth and said: "Oh, you of little
faith! Know that YOU would already
have been cured if you had believed
me when told you that your pain was
not real. Pain and suffering do not
exist; they are merely fantasms of the
brain. There is no such thing as mat
ter" continued he, with so much IN
phasis tat it ratified some silver dol
lars in his pocket, ''none whatever;
the only real thing is thought. Ali
this is too subtle for Your common
place mind, and hence I can do moth
ing more for you; You had better go
