taken in his man. In order to secure
his reward Smith told the negro he
would release him IL jackson would al
low him to cut off one of his ears. Jack
sons ears were marked similarly to those
of the negro wanted. The negro agreed
and the ear was cut off. Smith then
feared that jackson would betray him
and determined to kin him. He gave
him the choice of hanging himself OF
being hanged.
The negro chose the former, and while
pretending to search for suitable place
made break for liberty. Smith fired
and the negro fell. Smith left, believ-
ing him dead. The negro lived. how
ever, to tell the tale, and his dying
statement is the principal evidence.

moItshed.
just in the corporate limits of this
flourishing little city, situated on the
BerryYille turnpike, where Eyitt's
run crosses, for a number of years
past has stood one of CharlestoWn's
leading Industries the iron foundry
and machine shops OF Weirick &
Weller. This firm dissolved few
months ago, and in the division of
property, this cluster of four COM
modious buildings, each well equip
ped with the most improved plants
for the manufacture of different ar
.ticles, fell to Mr.. John C. Weller, a
practical machiniet, respected and
industrious citizen. Mr.. Weller at
once put forward his innate zeal and
untiring efforts and money to inn
provements, and soon the establish
ment was teeming with activity, and
would in short while have been the
leading industry of this kind in the
Valley, but on yesterday at noon, in
one short hour, the buildings and con-
tents, with the exception of the foun-
dry and large power engine, was de-
stroyed by fire. Mr.. Weller and
employees has closed the shops and
gone to dinner but fifteen minutes
had hardly elapsed before they were
t,recalled by the cries of fire, only to
find the buildings enveloped in
flames, which were supposed to have
originated by spark from the en-
CINE. All the buildings being frame
structures, burned very rapidly, and
although the fire companies with
their respective engines arrived on
the scene in remarkably short time,
they were only able to save the foun-
dry building. The Independent Fire
Company was delayed about ten
minutes at the engine house by hav-
ing their hose, which had been used
the night previous, off the reel dry
ing, but nevertheless both companies
are to be lauded for their promptness
and effective work. The loss is esti-
mated at over So, 900. No insurance.
This loss falls heavily upon Mr..
Weller. 1t is a sad sight, indeed, to
witness the result of a mans life
toll and honest labor vanish in few
short hours. He has the sincerest
sympathy of the community in his
misfortune.-Democrdt
Mr.. Weller, we understand, will
proceed to rebuild at once.
