DUBLIN MILLS.


is the question asked those who
have to change places.
We understand DR.. Bernhardt
is going to leave our town, and go
to Three Springs, to occupy the
Doctor Stever house.
Isaac Bolinger intends moving
to Troughcresk Valley, where he
has secured employment for a
year.
Richard Miller goes to Broad
Topi the employ of AdamBlack.
Success to you both young men.
We feel you both have the ele-
ment in you to successfully bat
tie for place in the great scheme
of life.
Squire Kerling seems about
the busiest man in our town. Be
tween the whir of burrs in his
grist mill, the buzz of his saws,
the rattle of his dearborn, in
hauling pine brush, and his du-
ties in administering justice to
constituents about to enter liti-
cation, we think his time fully oc-
cupied.
We notice our genial mechanic
ii. b. Bergstresser, is drawn as
one to pass Judgment on our liti-
gants.
Isaac Miller is working indus
triously, we understand, to get
wood enough ready to warm him
self and family through a siege
of mumps which he daily expects
to enter.
Which are we having, the lamb
or the lion end of March?
Our friend r.. C. Bratton is
still on the sick list and is unable
to get out.
Two and one half miles north
of Dublin Mills, in Huntingdon
county, in a tenant house on the
farm of Henry Black, occurred
one of the Sadest accidents we
have ever had in this community.
Early Saturday morning, per-
haps 2 or 3 O'Clock, Samuel Det-
wiler made a fire in his cooking
stove, and went back to his bed
and fell asleep. About 4 o'clock
the family were aroused to the
fact that their house was on fire,
which had begun in the lower
part of the building, which was
log frame. BY this time, the en-
tire lower part was in flames.
Mr.. Detwiler tried to get down
stairs, but must have fallen
through into the burning room
below. Mrs. Detwiler rushed
for window on the upper side
of the house with three of her
children, one a boy of about
eleven years, helping her. While
she was getting two of the chill
dren out of the window, he re-
turned to the rooms for the
fourth child about two years of
age. While the brave little fell
low was in the heroic act of at
tempting to save his little sister,
his mother saw the floor give
way and the brave boy with his
baby sister sink into the cruel
flames beneath. Oh, who can tell
the agony of such a moment?
The distracted mother, seeing
the fate of the others, cast her.
self from the window and fell to
the ground below unable to walk,
striking her head against a stone
wall. In almost an insensible
condition she crawled some dis
tance from the house where she
was found when some of the
neighbors came to the place. She
was removed to Mr.. Blacks and
physician sent for. The two
small children which Mrs. Det-
weller hadput out of the window
strange to say, had not received
much hurt and made their way
to Mr. Blacks and gave the alarm.
Neighbors soon gathered at the
place of the fire, and from
the heap of burning GOALS, were
able to draw the trunk of the
body of the unfortunate man-
limbs and head entirely gone,
and of the children nothing could
be found except a few charred
homes What cOuld be fOund of
