mains as deep mystery as ever.

Hollidaysburg Register of the 11h
inst: Last Saturday some boys 16
and IS years old, who work sSovsr at
Pipsr's coal mines got drunk as fools.
Instead of coming home they laid a
round in their shanties all day Sun
day, beastly DRINK, and on Monday
when the father of one of those boys
wsnt over to Ben's creek to resume
his work in coal mine, ne found his
son under the affects of the rotgut.
The father kicked up high, low, jack
and the game, and threatened to
prosecute the two saloon keepers for
selling his boy whisky. OF course
those gentlemen soon felt a cold
chill crawling UP their spinal column,
and they got together and talked the
matter over, and they concluded that
they did not wish TO be returned.
They each agreed to give Mr. So and
So twenty-five dollars, If he would
let it drop. When those gentlemen
came down to see him to comprom-
ise on those conditions, and he re
ceived S25 the price Of his sons first
debauch, aud guaranteed them that
be would so no further with it.
Now, Mr. Editor, ask you, Is that
the right way for father 10 act in a
cess like this I think that the
father has laid himself liable to the
law, III fact be is just as guilty as
those two saloon men, 4 not more,
simply because he knew that they
had violated the law and received n
bribe and shields them IN doing SO.
1t looks like q good case for the dis
trict attorney to hunt up and settle.
There is much of that business car
ried on over at Ben's ereeS and vi
cinity.
