n. 4. Bailey, writes to the Lewis
town Ssntin el last week and says
The man whose bsdy was found ia
Ferguson Valley, was Adam Ii. Hoff-
man, formerly of Lycoming county,
and frequent visitor to Mitfiin Co.,
and Juniata Co. He was single
man aud very much afflicted and sub
ject to fits all his life, and was also
weak-miuded and dependent upon
bis brothers and sisters for support
He left two broth0rs and four sisters
to mourn his dSa.h. His brothers
live in Lyeoming county. He WAS
peculiar and self willed, and the old
cr he grew the weaker his mind be
came. He was 53 years of sga. He
came to our house on the 9th of
March and wanted to leave the noxt
morning, but my mother insisted on
him staying until he was rested. On
the morning of tae 11th she noticed
his mind was much worse, but no
said he had to go and persuasion
could not change his mind, Ny
mother gave him some luushson and
r. little change, and told him he
would h.Ya to stop travelling so much
as he was getting too old. He re-
marked that another sister had told
him tho ssme thing, but that he re-
Piled that God always watched over
him. 1t makes very sal hearts
when VIC think if he only could have
been prevailed upon to remain that
duy, instead of going to his death |
apart from all bis friends.
From Huntingdon per Journal |

about 81 900 from the government

issue The safe in the office of |

girl who panned herself off rs the
widow of LoriDg A. Robertson, the
proprietor of the Mapleton t,nnery,
in order to share in his fortune Of
100000. has confessed all. Four
other persons have been arrested
who were connected with the plot.
There are several corners in this
town upon which Ioafers conSregate
in the evenings and oftentimes their
conversation is not at all Instructive.
One evening while we wers passing
one of these corners, we saw lady
get pushed from the sidewalk into
the muddy street By boy who had
baen pushed roughly from the crowd.
The lady naturally was much embar-
rasscd and to retain her dignity was
obliged to pass on without returning
word. Now if these rude occur
sences would only happen once in
six months, we would not say word
but when it is an almost daily occur
renee it is time that something be
said which will lead to the breaking
up of corner loaflng, and thus pro
tect respectable pedestrians from
public Insult.
