Sunbury Democrat, February 27:
Northumberland was thrown into
a fever of excitement, Sunday after.
n )on by the announcement of the
finding of an infants body under the
ice in Deep Run, Point township.
Jerome Dreese, an employee on the
farm OF William Mertz, took the
horses to the run to water them.
While cutting hole in the ice, he
saw an infants body. 1t was taken
out and found to oe female child.
A cord was tied around its neck, and
two hole were in the back of TIE
head. A sponge that evidently had
been in the child's mouth was at
tached to the cord. Justice Vincent
held an inquest, and the jury WAS
composed Of Messrs Newberry. Colt,
Peters, Mertz aud Bright. Their
verdict WAS that the body was thrust
under the ice by persons from Mil
ton or Danville. There are no clues
as to who committed the foul deed,
and nearly everybody has theory as
to how the deed was done. Some
think that the sponge was put in the
child's mouth to suffocate it, and
others that it was saturated with
cblorOform or ether aud fastened to
the nose causing death. 1t is also
impossible to tell how long the bodv
has been under the ice, and unless
some new evidence turns up soon the
murderers will never be discovered.
The child was murdered short time
after its birth.
Lewistown G3zette: We hear it
stated that the Roman Catholic
Church is about to start parochial
school in Lewistown. Harry
Morrison has been carrying the mail
between the post office and the june
ton for about seventeen years and he
figures in that time he Travelled 96,-
800 miles, equal to nearly fourgtimes
around tho world. "Wednesday

something to eat and mingled with
the turkeys on the farm near Balls

ted express killed one OF the foreign
employees at the grading balow tie
station as he Was on his way to the
barracks down the railroad. Tle
accidental death among these work
man while they have been employed
in this vicinity, averages one or two
& month, and little humanity, except
IN special cases, is shown among
them when one dies. = Our Al
lenvllie correspondent says: Our boss
smith was the victim Of 4 joke on
Washington s birthday which some
what raised his ire. From what we
can learn the gentleman has been
somewhat tsrdy in getting home TO
his meals daring the iull in business
owing to the loafng 10 the Gospel
Hill store being more t0 his liking
/ than his home or shop. His better
half becoming somewhat indignant
ct this negligence prepared choice
( dinner, the best OF the land, and
sent it % him in the s:oro room
steaming hot, which caused the pro
/ prIetor, who was under the counter
hunting for bolts, to take q hearty
lapgh. From the actions of oul
friends, since that time, we are in
c,ined to believe that be has learned
that experience is a noble teacher, a
the times somewhat costly. We
learn that he has resolved in the fu
ture to be on hand shortly after thc
ringing Of the bell aGd not keep til,
rest of the family in suspense on thi:
important OCCASION.
