A PRACTICAL JOKE THAT RESULTED FATALLY TO 17S ‘TWELVE-YEAR-OLD VICTIM. Levi Kahl, the twelve-year-old son of a farmer of Elk township, near Foxburg, Pa, died on Sat- ‘urday from the effects of a fright given him a week ago on Sunday by some boys of the neighborhood, On the road leading from the village church to the Kahl farm there is a lonely spotin the woods where @ murder was committed some years ago. At intervals stories of ghosts having been seen by jg passing the spot are told, and tne locality long been dreaded by superstitious people. On Sunday of last week the Kahl boy was on his way home from Sunday school. "It was late in the afternoon, and was growing dark in the Woods at the alleged haunted spot. As the boy was passing the spot he heard a noise behind him, and turnin around saw sometl that he afterw: ta semi sane intervals, 88a ghost with a head covered with ‘many horns, jump out of the woods into the road, followed by two other figures, Two reports like 1 shots were heard, and the two figures that a] with what the boy thought ppeared Was a hideous demon fell to the ground and writhed as if in agony, while they gave vent to unearthly shrieks. ‘The Kahl boy fied in terror from the 3; closely pursued by the many- horned apparition, which followed him almost home. ‘hen the boy entered the house he was in such a state of nervous excitement that he fell into convulsions. He never fully recovered his mind, and his sufferings were intense up to the tme of his death. Three boys, acquaintunces of young Kahl, have confessed that they masqueraded ‘at the place in the Woods for the purpose of play- ing a joke on him by frightening him. One of the boys had fastened to his head an old tree stump ‘with tangled roots, which had seemed like horns to the terror-stricken victim.

He threatened to kill her if she dared leave, and to kill her father, too, if he were told of It. He enforced his threats by knock- ing the woman to the floor with his fist, a stick, or anything that came handy. Pinkieton would thrust a pistol in his wife's face, and with horrible curses and fiendish laughter Tepeat bis threats.) Many times he choked her ull he supposed her dead. As a further safeguard against her escape he chained her to the with trace chain secured around her ankle, and thus: the helpless woman passed the dreary hours while the inhuman brute Would be about his pleasure. At night, should he awake and find the woman in a different position from that she Occupied when he went to sleep, a heavy scantling came down on her fragile form to remind her that she existed Only at the will of a flend. About two weeks ago Pinkleton asked his wife to leave the country with ‘him, which she, with womanly ingenuity, agreed to, Only asking ‘leave to bid her people good-by. She obtained permission, and flying to her father told him her woes, “Mr. Lee took his shotgun and went after Pinkleton, but the cowardly cur cringed and begged for his life.

News has been received by his former friends in Middietown, N. Y., of the recent tragical and uis- erabie death in the county almshouse in Paw Paw, Mich., of a man whose eloquence and abilities when in his prime were of the highest order and ‘who was once the idol and admiration of the great ‘Ubrongs that flocked to his ministrations, Refer- ence 13 had to the Rev. Augustus Lituejohn, who is remembered all through the interior of New York ay Une most powerful and successful religious revivalist of his day. He belonged to the branch of the Littlejohn family which has furnished so many eminent recruits to the church and bar. In his earller career he wasa successful contractor on public works, but, moved by a sudden impulse, he abandoned sec wursuils and entered the Christian ministry. “He accepted no regular charge, but moved ‘from town to town, conduct- ing revivals as they were carried on’ in those days, with the accompaniment of scenes of wild excitement and noisy fervor. He and Joun B, Gough often labored together in the same fields. For a number of years he made his home in Che- nango County, where he married an estimable lady. In the progress of his iabors through the an towns he built up pew churches and revived decaying ones, and ht thousands of converts to the altar. But finally there came a cloud upon bis fame. Rumors became rife of im- moralities, which took such a form that bis wife left him and sued for a dt and he found tt ad- visable to seek new flelds of labor in the West. He engaged in revival work in Indluna, and there, after a Ume, he was again accused of gross immor- alities and of drunkenness, and was ultimately, after a sensational trial, found guilty and vegraded from the pulpit. The next heard of him Was in the role of a reformed drunkard, lecturing on tem- rance through Michigan. When old age and an pairment of his once brilliant faculties overtook him he was constrained to seek a refuge in an almshouse. One morning last week he was found dead and cold on the frozen ground under the win- dow of the room he bad occupied. Whether he lars: “Young a week ago complainéd of f unwell.
