Andrew Pfeiffer, brute living up In
Nockamixon township, in the guise Of o
man, is in likely way to get his just de-
serts for numerically beating boy whom
he had taken to bring up to manhood.
The boys name is Joseph Kerns, Is eight
years OF age, and was placed by Rev.

Pfefer, the lad having no home. Upon
investigation it was found that the boy
had been shamefully beaten with wagon
spoke, and that finger and knee cap had
been broken. His back was also badly
bruised and laeerated. Aonzo Nicholas,
one of the Directors of the Poor, has had
the homeless child cared for at the aims
house, while the perpetrator of this inhu-
man treatment has so far gone unpunish-
ed. Thepillory aud whipping post should
claim his introduction. Enterprise

The DoYlestown Democrat says
"Some Of our more progressive citizens
are agitatlng the question of building a
railroad from Doylestown to Centrevlle,
to connect there with the extension of the
North East Penn. road to New Hope.
1.-THE distance is only about four miles,
and a gentleman connected with the Phil.
adelphia and Reading Company, who has
been over the ground, says that 1t can be
built for comparatively small amount OF
money. Tue road would pass through
the properties Of only fifteen landowners,
several Of whom have signified their will
ingness to give tho right of way free,
while others would allow their land to be
taken at merely nominal figures. The
distance TO Philadelphia from Doylestown
by way Of Centreville would be two miles
lessth by way of Lansdale.
''The Democrat believes such road
would be good paying Investment. 1t
would bring the people of the Delaware
Valley, from Durham to Bristol into easy
railway communication with their county
seat it would make through line to
II
Norristown, uniting the Delaware and
Schuykill, the two great valleys of the
Commonwealth, and would be advantage
Gus In great many other ways"
