A Happy New Tear.
Murder.Christmas floes not always bring
gladness to some hearts. Accidentshappen from fire arms that bringgrief, bat we are rarely called uponto record an unprovoked murder,
This Christmas we do so record one.
There was a dance in the Forestera'' Hall at Chambersburg Christmasnight A young man named Michael
Shively, commonly called "Doll"Shivelywas Floor Manager of thedance, and another young mannamed Ithamer Boston, commonlycalled "Thame" Boston was doqr- -
keeDer. One of the rule3 of thedance was that no gentleman shouldbe admitted to the Hall without alady partner. While the dance was
in progress a young man by the name
of Theodore Hanley, known among
his companions as "The." Hanley,came up stairs to the Hall door without any. lady partner and demandedadmission of vounz Boston. Thelatter refused and cited him to a
printed bill on the wall as to the ruleof admission concerning a lady part-
ner. Young Hanley expostulatedwith Boston, and said he was goingin, partner or no partner. Boston
then called Shively out of the Hall,and asked him about letting Hanleyin. Shively repeated the role to
Hanley but the latter was irrepressi-ble, whereupon Shively started down
stairs with Hanley to talk the matterover with him in the room below."When they had reached the lower
floor Hanley commenced calling hima liar, a thief and other epithets.Shively said to him that under thecircumstances he wonld take it off ofhim. Hanley then called him a d
s of a b , when Shively said hecould not take such abuse o(f of him,
and grasped at his,throat, whereuponHanlej' pulled out a revolver, andraising it above Shively's head fired
it down into the top of the head, theball passing through the brain andlodging in the roof of his month.Hanley, whose home is across theriver from Chambersburg, fled, cross-
ed the river, took his brother's horse,and has not been heard of since.Shively, though unconscious, liveduntil-- 5 o'clock Saturday morning,
--wfienTie died. Shively is spoken" ofas a No. 1. quiet young man. Hewas the son of Mr. P. B. Shively,formerly of Ohio township, but was
at the time, living in West Virginia-H- e
was unmarried, and about 23
years of age. His funeral took pjace
Sunday, being conducted by theMasonic Lodge of Chambersburg.Hanley is a single man of about 21
years. A young man named RobertHarvey, who was with Hanley duringthe evening was arrested for connec-
tion therewith, and lodged in jail in
default of $400 bail. Reports arecontradictory as to whether Hanleyhad been drinking before the unhap-
py occurrence, but we believe thegeneral opinion is that he was dulysober.
This lis another instance of hightemper and ready revolvers. No
doubt the closest friends of youngShively do not now regret the affair
half so mnch'as he who was soqnickto pull a revolver and shoot down hl3
friend.
Pinafore.At the urgent request of many
citizens the management of the .53
Club have consented to give one
more representation of the beautifalopera of H. M. S. Pinafore. It will
be produced for the last time, onNew Year's evening. The priceswill remain as heretofore. Seats'may be Becured at Kerr Bros' DrugStcre, on Thursday morning, at 8
o'clock.
Arson.A young man named Isaac N.
James,' apparently about fifteenyears of age, was lodged in jail Friday, by Officer Massie, of Perrytownship, charged with burning two
barfs Christmas eve, one belongingto Br. Solomon Long and the otherto Kr. William Smith. The barnswere about three-fourth- s of a milespirt In one of them were threehorses, in the other, four cows, tentons of hay, besides farming imple-
ments. Everything, including thestock, was burned. It is said thatJameajremarked during the eveningtoothers that if they would watchout they wonld see a light Hissloe-nail- s were compared with thoseabont -- the barns and found to tallyexactly. James does not deny the
3 burning, Gut says that he was hiredto do it He does not appear to beblessed with intellectual endowments,He was sent up by 'Squire Normanof Perry, in default of $800 bail.

The Æollans.Three crowded houses never lis-
tened to a more remarkable combi-
nation of local musical talent, thanthe rendition of Pinafore by theiEolian Club of this city. It was an
era in musical circles, an epoch inlocal history and an event in socialannals. Talent, conscientiousnessand hard work, with skilled super-vision combined to exalt our pedes-
tal. It requires nice discrimination to
place comic opera above hirsh criti-
cism the unvarying attempt to exe-
cute ludicrous' conceptions is fraughtwith fatal quagmires. It is not usual for a club to attain distinction,musically and as actors. The up-
roarious noise of a mixed crowd is
not a creditable distinction; the ap-
plause of a cultured audience andthe praise of foreign critics of note is.The iEolian Club can't feel morepride m Messrs. Ross and Wilson asdirectors, than they feel in the mem-
bers and the public have for both.The chorus was a notable featuresmoothness and integrity of timemeriting comment equally with thesolos. Misses Hannan and Cadotand Mrs. Kerr, are not strangers toGallipolis audiences, yet they cancherish this reception. Messrs. Neal,Baer, McCormick, Ross, Aleshire andMitchell, in a more extended field,would outrank amatures. The pedalaccomplishments of Messrs. Ross andMitchell were as unexpected as theywere excellent We don't know how
to nraise the acting:, the audiencehave a better appreciation than wecan give them. Capt E. b. Aleshire no doubt missed bis vocationby not adopting the boards, and inMisses Hannan and Cadot and Mrs,
Kerr, Messrs. McCormick, Baer,and Neal the Club have memberswho will always sustain its reputation. Messrs. Gates and Sanns andMiss Mary Aleshire need no commendation. Our space is limited.Were it one line, it would be"It was grand."

Railroad Matters.Cincinnati Enquirer, of Monday:
The Ohio and West Virginia Railroad, from Logan to Gallipolis on theOhio River, is fast approaching com-
pletion. Track-layin- g is rapidly pro-
gressing from Logan south; a secondforce of track-layer- s will be put towork at the Gallipolis end within thenext ten days. A connection of thetwo divisions is expected to be madeabout the first of April, 1880. Thisroad will open up the well knownrich mineral lands of Hocking, Vin onand Gallia counties. It will give tovarious iron charcoal furnaces ship-ping facilities by rail which theyhave long needed. Among such areBuckeye, Keystone, Lincoln andLatrobe, all of which are within fonrmiles of shipping points. EagleFufnacc, which has long laid idle, isthe most fortunate of all, the newrailroad running about three milesthrough its lands and passing withina few feet of tho furnace. The pres-ent owners (J. A. Simmons & Co.)have made extensive improvementssince purchasing the property, pre-
paratory to putting the furnace intoblast. In their explorations theyhave discovered and opened severalnew veins of ore, varying in thickness from eighteen inches to thirty- -
six Inches, and in addition valuablecoal, four feet to five feet in thickness.
Tho completion of this importantroad will mark a new era In the his-
tory of the mineral region.Middleport, Ohio, December 27.
At a meeting of the Council lastnight an ordinance was passed authorizing the town to issue bonds atten years to the amount of $15,000,ostensibly for river bank improve-ment, but really to put the riverfront in shape that the proposed rail-road from Gallipolis to Pomeroy canuse it. Pomeroy and other placesalong the line have raised about$30,000, and it is thought the $50,-00- 0
required will be raised aboutJanuary 1st
