(NOTE: No date given.)

Andrew MORROW, of South Mahoning, died January 10, 1884, of
paralysis, aged 80 years. Deceased was one of the substantial
men of the county--honest, upright, and truthful. For sixty
years he was a consistent member of the Seceder, now U. P. church.

William Church MCCOY, son of George and Mary E. MCCOY, died on
January 19, 1884, in this borough, aged 4 years, 11 months, and 11 days.

William WALKER died at the residence of his son-in-law, David
MEARS, in Westmoreland county, on Nov. 5, 1883, aged 83 years.
Mr. WALKER came to this county many years ago and was married
to a sister of Revs. John and Samuel HINDMAN. One of his
daughters married Geo. DUNCAN, of White township and another
married William MAHAN of the same township. He was a brick
maker by trade and an honest, upright citizen.

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.
