The Bloomsburg Republican says the extension of the Catawissa Railroad passes through an old fort of land belonging
to Andrew Eves, not far from the mouth of Muncy creek. In excavating through it quite a number of small stone fire-places,
Indian pottery and stone tools supposed to have been used in making it were unearthed. Curiosity seekers have been
very busy gathering everything in the shape of Indian relics that have been turned up by the plow and scraper.

of damage. The barn of Mathias Moore, near Buck Horn, was blown down, killing two horses and bruising one belonging
to Buckalew quite severely. The roof was blown off Col J. G. Freeze's farm barn, and Jacob Dieffenbach's wagon
shed was overturned, destroying a carriage. Several trees were uprooted in the track of the storm, For a time the
rain fell in torrents.

Calvin R. Kressler has strayed in the pervert and foolish path and as a result to his misdoings he is now in
jail at Sunbury. It appears that he has been acting the roll of a Judas Iscariot for some time past, but not until
Monday morning was his treachery discovered. On the night before he and Miss Mary Walters, a girl of eighteen years,
walked into Hotel Zerbe at Sunbury and asked for a room. After registering as man and wife they were given a room.
The next morning Mr. Zerbe asked Kressler if they were married and he said no. The two evidently anticipating trouble
hurried out of the hotel but the proprietor made use of the telephone and securing an officer had them arrested.
It was since developed that Kressler had been having considerable trouble at home and that his wife had sworn out
a warrant for his arrest Saturday night but he could not be found. Kressler’s friends are dumbfounded at his conduct.
Until very lately he had been looked upon as a man of correct habits but drink is supposed to have led to his downfall.
