A little girl who was the school room was threatened with death if she gave tlic alarm, whereupon she fainted. Mr. Green's revolver was taken from him during assault.

Of all the vioes that dis grace society, the love of and indul gence in slanderous and sensational gossip is the most damaging. Among most pitiable, as well as censurable creatures with whom we come in eon in our daily walks, the gossip vender occupies a prominent position. Ruined in reputation, lost to all sense Uo, ency amI self respect, and utterly regardless of the result of their nefari work, these renegades prowl about, prying into this one's private affairs that one's social relations, gather here ami there an item which in itself amounts to simply nothing, but, before their distorted vision of false imagination, grows into gigantic pro portions and then go forth laden with their obnoxious freight, scattering it broadcast as they go, and taking particular pains to have everyone believe what they say to be positively true. the malicious utterings ot this de testable class of individuals these pe j.i i I rambulating repositories and disburs of falsehood virtue is assailed and envied reputation of others is destroyed.

In the sudden death of Mr. George Nixon, which occurred on the 18th this community has lost an intelligent and industrious man and a good citizen He and Mrs. Nixon went down town the morning to have their photo graphs taken having accomplished ibis object, they went about the pur chase of some household articles, and started for and reached home before noon. On his way he was seized with apoplexy or something of the kind, for we are assured that he had not drank iiquor to an extent which ordinarily could have been felt. He was about homo during the afternoon, sitting tip and lying down at will, but complain ing most of the time of pain and ex cessive thirst, and insisted upon drink.

ing large draughts of water. On going to his bed about 12 o'clock in the night Mrs. Nixon found that breath had nearly or quite ceased and that death had done its work, without even hav ing suspected that there was serious danger. Mr. Nixon was a native of Northum berland, England, and had resided in this country about nineteen years, Botli his father and mother died very suddenly, thus showing the presence of the seeds of heart disease, which usually springs upon its victim with out warning.

The deceased was a man of general intelligence, a studious reader and thinker. He had for sev eral years been employed by the Peun sylvania Coal Company in boring for coal, and his services and trustworthi ness were highly appreciated. He leaves a wife and family to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. Northumberland and Durham pa pers, of England, please copy. Important Arkest.

During the ast few months some miscreant has been in the habit of putting obstruc tions on the track of the Del. Hud. Railroad, between Olyphant and Peck town, with a view of throwing off the evening passenger train going north These diabolical, repeated attempts to murder or mangle innocent passengers led Sunerintendaut Manville. with his usual vigilance, to discover, if pos sible, the fiend who was thus placing stones upon the track, or the last two months watchmen were placed along the road at night without dis covering from whence the danger came. In fact the night police were all taken from the road but a single one, wno, by a constant watching, dis I covered a man in the very act of roll ing a large stone on the tract in a dan gerous place, so that the up passenger train could hardly escape destruction I had it not been removed.

The watch man, by measuring his man, saw at glance tho folly of an attempted cap ture, but marking him well in his eye, he retraced for help, removing the boulder. Returning with reinforce ments, the men stationed themselves in an obscure place, and in a few min utes they saw the same person again roll another stone on the track.

Memory of Peter Winter, Esq How inexorable isdcalh Seemingly but yesterday some among us, joyous with the hopes of youth and exultant in the aspirations andstrength lusty manhood, left vacant places our side. Again an alarm is sounded at our outer door, and one full of years and rich in all that makes the dead man opulent answers the summons.

Peter Winter is dead. We have followed his dust to its linal resting place, and consigned earih to earth, ashes to ashes. Our last sad offices have been performed at his grave, and from them it is now our privilege to turn, and with melan choly pleasure contemplate the record a cood man's life. From earliest manhood till the time of his demise, Brother Winter resided upon the self same spot. Born soon after the Revo lution and early settling in this county, then not far removed from its primitive wilderness state, he was nurtured amid the struggles and hard ships incident to pioneer life.

Cast in such a mould, if lie was less the Courtier was more the man. Honest in impulse, quick of apprehension and determined in purpose, his conclusions were drawn with precision and acted with promptness and vigor. For than fifty five consecutive years, appointment and election, he filled office of Magistrate; and though lawyers may have ques tioned the legality of his decisions, none ever doubted their cquitv or be was courteous, conscientious and exacting; as a citizen, public spirited and liberal; as a neighbor, obliging, conciliatory and kind; as a friend, disinterested, devoted and en during. But not alone in the open walks of do the pure and ennobling traits of character afford us scope for pleasing retrospection. In Brother Winter was made a Mason in Lodge at W'ilkes Barre.

He was one of the charter members of this Lodge, and its first Treasurer. Earnest love the order, and a deep, unilaggiug zeal in its prosperity made him a regu attendant upon its communications long after lengthened years and grow ng infirmities made his long walks to the Lodge a labor. When, at length, compelled to forego his regular visits, and admonished that his hold on life was brief, lie left recbrded his desire that brothers of tho mystic tie should bear him to his place of rest. Brother Winter never filled any of the chairs his Lodge, but, being its oldest member, probably oftencr than all olherg akl he th 6 procession the great lights of Masonry, and certainly no one among us exem plified more fully their teaching. Taking the Scriptures as a light to his pathway across the level of time, with actions squared and passions circum ecribedf be lived respected, honored aml loved n.i dvinr inva Ilot npmv behind 0fthejust man.

Therefore, as a trib ute to the niplnorv of tjr(). Winter. and in testimony of our sympathy with Qlg familv Resolved That this preamble be spread upon our minutes, a copy, properly engrossed, sent to ma family, ana that it be published in the ua zette and Journal Alex. Ckaig, Li. H.

The bridge will be an open wire structure 10 feet wide, with seven cables on each s.de, and wrought iron towers on the abutments. Its estimated cost is about 45,000, and the authorized capital ol the Company 40,000 36,250 of which have already been taken and the bal auce will, we are assured, find ready disposal indeed the stock, we are re liably informed, has thus far been very readily takea. As an adjunct to the trade and convenience of Pittston this bridge will be important as it will make the entrance into town very safe and at the same time furnish a mar ket for country people as soon as they land at Port Griffith. If any of our people have money to spare, they could uot, perhaps, invest it more safely or profitably than in this It is a matter of congratulation to our valley that this enterprise has attained a sub stantial basis, for in the future growth and greatness of Wyoming such as is to be realized in less than twenty years this bridge will have contributed an important part.
