shoItly after dinner and caught his vile in

upon attacked Denver with knife, plung-
ing il into his breast and drsTing II across
between his ribs, He also stabbed his

few moments later. but the woman il
perhaps not fatally hurt. IL appears that

cracker, VINO had but recently gotten uur
"f the penitentiary.
Law is one thing aud justice or equity
quite another, ana many case in court l.
lost or won On little technicaliry. A
case in point WAS that 0i a Swede who was
tried in BrUokville at the February term
IN the charge OF stealing Two gold
wat chrs aud chain The Swede admit
ted he stole the watches, but proved that
they were not gold, and as ne was indicted
tor stealing gold" watches, he was acquIt-
ted.
A queer lawsuit has just been tried in
HUnesdaie, this state. Tns employers OF a
glass comp ny offered to their employ rs
who got married y house rent free for SIX
months aud $40 for the first child born
Arther Richardson, an apprentice was
urged by the superintendent TO marry and
take one of the houses. He did 80 and for
the first half year paid no rent and when
the first heir was born claimed the $40
bounty. the company denied his claim,
and not only refused TO pay but demsn ded
he rent. The case in court hinged on
whether Richardson married for love or To
secure tne Donus, and rs he declared that
love was the inducement the court ruled
that this was fatal To his case.
A little girl named Ella Kettle. aged
about six years, residing in Dubois, was

road "a blast was fired, and stone weigh
lUg eight pounds struck her on the side of
the head. Ber face and head were terribly
mangled.
Just now there is heavy run of timber
asd sawed lumber rsfts on the Allegheny
frum its upper tributaries. The Forest
county papers report that the largest raft
ever run out from Tionesta Creek was
pIot-d down one day last week by
Stephen Cooper. 1t contained 10000 feet
of lumber; was top-loaded with several
thousand feet of boat siding, and was "a feet
wide snd % courses deep The lumber
business of Forest county has dwindled
into very small proportions, compared
with that of former years. The timber is
becoming scarce, aud in few years raft |
ing will become thing of the past.
