On the fourth instant, the dwelling house of J. V. GARVER, who

lives in the Bradford oil region, caught fire from an overpressure

of gas, while Mrs. GARVER was absent and in a few minutes it was

in ashes.  Four little children, aged from one to six years, were

left in the house and perished in the flames.  The mother of the

children, was a daughter of David ALTMAN, of Plumcreek township,

Armstrong county and their charred remains were brought to that

township for interment.



Jasper C. ANSLEY, son of the late ex-Sheriff ANSLEY, of this place,

was killed on the mountain division of the Pennsylvania railroad

on Monday morning last.  For some time previous to his death Mr.

ANSLEY had worked in the capacity of a freight brakeman on this

road and on the morning above noticed was on his way up the mountain

with his train when it broke and Mr. ANSLEY and the other employees

engaged in making the couplings.  When all had been made right Mr.

ANSLEY stepped upon the north track to signal the engineer to go

ahead, when he was struck by a locomotive which was descending the

mountain at a fast rate of speed.  He was thrown some thirty feet

from the track and instantly killed.  His remains were brought to

this place yesterday and will be interred in Greenwood Cemetery

today.  He was aged about 23 years and leaves a wife and two

children to mourn his sad death.  This is the third sudden death

which has occurred in this family withing the past three years.



MISCELLANEOUS



Wm. HICKS, of Huntingdon, whose sole object in living seems to be

to gratify his insatiate desire for liquor, sold his little

daughter, aged about twelve, to a laborer at the State reformatory

for the consideration of three drinks of whiskey.  The child, upon

refusing to accede to the transaction when called for by the

purchaser, was beaten by her father.  The community is greatly

indignant over a father who would make a commodity of his own

flesh and blood.
