Look at what she did last fall.
Samuel P. De Hart, SO it is reported
about town, has been offered the post Office.
What is the matter?
The young man who was arrested last
week for stealing horse from Mr.. Gar
rigues, but got away, is still at large. He
also took wagon and gears from Rufus
Curry, above the Cross Keys. These he
sold for small sum at Herkness' Bazaar,
Philadelphia. Mr.. G. recovered them last
week.
There is an old saying that trouble sell
dom comes single-handed. Such is the
experience of John Kinsell, well-known
German, living on the outskirts OF the
town. Mr. Kinsell moved here few
years ago from Philadelphia and bought
the small farm known as the Thomas
Albertson place, which had dilapidated,
forsaken appearance. He soon had fruit
trees growing, also enlarged the house and
barn, making it look like different prop
erty. People who had not seen the place
for some time hardly recognized it, About
this time, when Mr.. Kinsell thought he had
things as he wished them, his wife died
very suddenly. In the course of year or
two he began to look around for another
partner and found her in the person of a
healthy looking widow in Philadelphia.
They soon came to an agreement and were
married without much delay. It is said
she was worth about three Thousand dollars
at the time of her marriage. Since then
they have bought the large farm which was
owned by Mrs. Atkins, of Philadelphia
This farm was formerly part of the late
John F. Bodine estate and was considered
one of the best in the township. In addi-
ton to the large barn thereon, Mr.. Kinsell
recently built another. He was also build
ing house for Philadelphia doctor and
had stored in the new barn some of the
finishing stuff, also lot of lime. At this
point he seemed to be gliding along ON a
wave of prosperity, when all of a sudden,
one day last week, fire broke out in the
new barn, and in few minutes that and
the other one were consumed. The loss is
reported at about $500, with very little
insurance. This and other troubles caused
the wife to brood greatly, so on Monday
morning, after Mr.. Kinsell had started for
Philadelphia and the boys had gone to
work in the factory, she decided to put an
end to her troubles by going up stairs and
iabbing large butcher knife in her throat.
The small children called to her to get
them ready for school, and receiving no
reply, they ran up stairs and discovered her
covered with blood. Horrible as this may
seem, yet it was thought by some to be
more horrible, as it was whispered around
that probably some one else was implicated
in it, but this was proven at the inquest to
be false, as it was evident that she had
taken her own life. The affair has created
great sensation in this community, and
while sympathy is extended to the family,
yet those who know the true facts of the
case have greater sympathy for the poor
woman, who has just ended an unhappy
life
