Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during
the winter season, so many various at
fractions as the state of Florida. Besides
its delightful climate which to one escap-
ing from the cold and unhealthful changes
of the North seems almost ethereal, il is
pre- eminently land of sport and pleas
ure. Along It's eleven hundred miles of
salt water coast and III its twelve hundred
fresh water lakes are fish of almost every
on nceivable variety, from the migratory
tribes common to Northern waters TO the
tarpon, pompano and others of a more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our
broad land can the angler find d greater
variety of game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panth-
ers, and wild cats roam at large through
the more sparsely settled regions, while
birds of all kinds may be found in abun-
dance throughout the state. The more
novel sport of alligator and manatee hunt
ing NAV also be INDUCED in by the more
adventurous tourist.
With It's matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating
and bathing, its fishing and hunting, and
| its extensive forests, Florida presents un-
| rivled attractions for the valetudinaridn
| the lover of nature, the sportsman and the
| explorer.
| To this attractive state the PENNSYLVANIA
| Railroad company has arranged four per-
sonally conducted tours during the sea
| son of 1897, leaving by special train Janu-
| airy 26th, February 9th and 23d, and Marcel
| 9th. The first three tours will admit of
| sOjourn of two weeks in this delightful
| land; tickets for the fourth tour will b,
valid to return until May 31st by regula
| trains.

Miss Lunda Stephens, an orphan girl
and daug hter of the late David Stephens.
of Cherryhill township, is the teacher at
the stephens school," located midway
between Greenville and Pixies Peak, in the
township named.
Last evening. after dismissing the
scholars, she swept out the school room
and went to the coal house for coal and
kindling for use the heXt morning. When
returning from this errand and while pass
ing through the small yes / b I e
lie aiding into the school room she was con-
fronted by a masked man, who pointed a
revolver at her head and said, Make no
noise or | will shoot YOU deaG" The
teacher was overcome with terror. The
villain seized her, bound her with ropes
and outraged her.
Miss Lunda boarded at the home of Mrs.
j. ID. Stephens, not far from the school
house. Her landlady was alarmed at the
teachers long absence. and finally per-
suaded her son, Mr.. A. III. Stephens, to go
to the school house. When he arrived at
the building the girl came staggering to-
ward him. Her face, neck and hands were
covered with blood, and as he approached
| nearer she fell 10 the ground unconscious.
He summoned assistance. and the injured
woman was carried to the hOuse of Mr.
| Samuel Bowser, nearby. A doctor was
| speedily summoned, and rendered all the
| necessary aid.
When she recovered consciousness she
| was only able, in a bewidered way, to mar
| rate the foregoing.
| In the school room was found three
| pieces of rope, soiled with blood, and which
| had evidently been used in binding the
| limbs of the girl.
| AT ten o'clock this morning the teacher
| under the influence of Opiates, was sleep
| ing quietly. Suspicion is rapidly fasten
| ing upon a young man who lives In tn,
| vicinity and who has scarcely reached tn,
age of 30 years.-IndiGna Messenger.
