In Canton, about 30 miles from here, a few nights ago, some twenty "nice young men" stripped a poor, starved, fallen woman and gave her a coat of tar and feathers, then turned her into the street to freeze.

Mrs. Weatherwalk, now living with Moses Springer in Huntington township, Luzerne county, has reached the advanced age of 110 years. Although in feeble health, she bids fair to live for some time yet.
