Tlie Church Hill Tragedy.—Tan
Maboniai; BegUter, published at Youngs*
! 0W n Ohio, says the outbreak which
twk place *t Church Hill, on Sunday
a f tern oon. July 27th, surpasses, in the
b >rrible character of its details, anything
that we have ever heard pf before. The
records of lynch and mob 1 iw, and of the
brutal frenzies of the lower classes of
Continental Europe, although they coh
tain the record of many cruel things, are
ftble to furnish nothing, which for cruel#
aD d go far as can be judged from present
indications, unpiovoked brutality, can
equal some of the details of this horrible
and murderous not. The immediate,
cause of the trouble was a quarrel which
took place between one of the old miners
uamed William Trotter, and an Italian
*bose name is known to the Citizens
a bopt Church Hill, as John Church,
gdw this quarrel commenced is not
Known, further than that Trotter was
jrunk and quarrelsome. The quarrel
was probably augmented by several more
- of the miners, and Church, seeing that
be was overpowered, ran for the bouse
ibe rest of the Italians were, and
when he got to the door, cried to be let
in Wh ; le the door was being opened,
he turned and defended himself, and
here H was that Trotter was stabbed.
Tms is the hypothesis suggested by the
facts known, and which are corroborated
by several admissions of the miners.
Church i 4 now dead; murdered by a bru
that has noiqual in all the annals
of crime, but hi# murderers, in letting
oat the fact that Trotter was stabbed at
the house, furnished strong circumstan
tial evidence to show tbatChurch stabbed
him in seff defense. The wound which
Trotter received was indeed a fearful
one. Tne knife entered atone side of
bis neck, and went clear through, nar
rosly missing thejugular vein and car
otid artery, and partially severing the
cord in its course. The wound
was so severe that at first it was thought
that he could not live longer than a few
moments, but at this writling he is still
alive, although the injury to the spinal
cord has partially paralized him.
Tne ri iters attempted to burn the Ital
ians in the house, hut afterwards con
cluded to open the door and kill them as
they came out of the burning building.
The details of the treatment the mur
dered man received are brutal In the ex
Ireme.
I'pon visiting Church Hill on Tuesday
'evening, we found that the following
p rsoDsbad been arrested and sent to
Warren, where their preliminary exami
nation, upon a charge of murder, com
menced on' Wednesday David D. Mor
ris, Ben j.R. Davis/John Morgan, John
<Neil, Wm Baxter, Hugh Trotter, Archi
bald Cowan, Wm. Burnell, John Watson,
John Williams, Wm. Morrison, John
Ward, Matthew Morrison, Thomas Mor
rison, Alex. Hodge. There are three or
fcar more to be arrested; among them
Wm. Parden, and the man who struck
CbarcL with the gun, and who has not
yet been identified.
Oa Tuesday evening, word was brought
toCtmrch Hill that the body of a dead
Italian was lying in the woods near the
Gilts Coal Co.’s bank. From the infor
mation civen to the authbrities, there, it
seemed that the body was there on Mon
day, but gave no information of the fact,
until it was discovered on Tuesday by a
farmer’s boy.
Late on Tuesday night the Coroner’s
jury brought in a verdict to the effect
that the Italian came to bis death by
blows given by Win. Parden, John Wat
son, Joen Neal, Al»x. Hodge, Hugh
Trotter. Wm. Baxter, and others, known
and unknown to the jury.
Attempted Infanticide,—A. girl by
the name of Pettit gave birth, on Monday
eight of last week, to a healthy child,
and hid it in the currant bushes, covering
it w th straw and litter that were found
at hand. The little one lay there until
the next day about noon, when its infant
yoi:e attracted the attention of some
members of the family, which led to its
discovery. It was still alive when found,
and lived some five hours afterwards.
The coroner was notified, and an inquest
was held, but no marks of violence being
discovered upon the child’s body, the ex
amining physicians weremuable to deter
mine the cause of its death.
The object, Undoubtedly; of the girl was
to get rid of the child at the risk of all
consequences, and there is scarcely a
Question but that the neglect and ex
posure for so long a lime—it lay in the
currant bushes some fifteec to seventeen
hours— caused its death. According to
the verdict of the coroner’s jury, the
mother was allowed to go free.— Wayjies

Soldiers* Orphans * School.— The
new additional buildings for the Philadel
phia Soldiers’ Orphan School under the
care of Prof. W. G. Taylor are going for
ward rapidly, and will be ready for ocu
pancy by the first of October, if not soon
er. These buildings m addition to the
large four story building completed last
year, will make the accomodations for the
school most ample. Some have thought
that these new buildings \yere an extrav
agance, at the expense of the State and
tax payers; but we fiod that they do u ot
cost the State a single cent, as Prof. Tay
lor puts them up at his own private ex
pense- The new building will consist of
a new and additional scho *1 room 27
44, but with ceilin'g of 14 feet, well light
ed and ventilated. This gives a front to
the school rßom of 77 feet. The Chapel
will be 27 by 44 feet with arched roof and
ceiling 13 teet, and the Boys’ Hdl will be
24 by 41 feet. The old school building is
being newly weather boarded, new coi
niced and newly painted. This will make
the whole front of the buildings on Hano
ver street 114 feet, and the buildings
fronting on Factory street are 135 feet.
The Campus or play ground has been
filled up and graded so as to make it more
comfortable for play and military drill.
With these additions we do not see what
more coaid be wished in the way of ac
comodations for a school. These exten
sive and expensive repairs show Prof.
Taylor’s interest in this work and his de
termination to do the most possible for
the education and training of the sol
diery's orphans. May success attend bis
efforts.
Chinese in Oregon.—A. Portland
(Oregon) letter of the &h of July, says:
‘Within the last two weeks three vessels,
have arrived in this harbor from Hong
Kong, and each brought from 700 to 800
Chinese passengers. The nresent Chi
nese population of this State is estimated
at 13,000, and of this number two-ihirds
are engaged in mining. The remainder
are in cities and towns, engaged in keep
ing laundries and acting as houke ser
vants. There are at least 2,000 Chinese
in Portland, but how they earn a liveli
hood is a matter which no “barbarian"
can learn. as ohe-half of them, at least,
seem to be steadily engaged in gambling
night and day.” The writer says that
the introduction of leprosy and other
diseases has greatly excited the populace,
and a general slaughter of Celestials is
not improbable at any moment. AH that
is wanted is a fair excuse.

THE RADICAL : FRIDAY, ATJG
Meeting of the Temperance
Union.—The Beaver. County Temper
ance Union met In tbe M. 3S. Church, of
Rochester, on Tuesday of last week.'
Rev. J. L Frazier, President of the Union,
was present and presided ;A. : T, Galla*
gher was appointed Secretary. The ob
ject of the meeting, as understood gener
ally, was to consult asm the best way to
put an end to the illegal selling of liquor
In the county, but T. A. Shinn, JEeq.,
chairman of the Board of Manager*,
introduced, very beginning of the
session, a subject entirely foreign to, the
call, and-which exploded like a bombshell
in the convention. He made a report,
recommending tbe appointment of .90
agent to travel overlhe county to oreads
auxiliary societies or unions, with h view
of influencing ths political events of the
countv. A lively discussion sprang up
on this. Tbe wisest and. most influential
men of the Union were
ed to tbe movement, and by tlbelr strong
appeals the subject was tabled; but it
was brought up again in the afternoon in
the absence of many and carried. A res*
olutiop was offered, recommending the
appointment of vigd&nt cumhntteesjn
every community where liquor is sold,
and calling upon such to send all infor
mation of illegal selling of liqnor to a se
lect committee of the Union, whose duty
it shall be to prosecute the guilty par
ties. This resolution was but no
committee to prosecute was made, and
tbe whole object of tbe meeting, there
fore, was defeated, Tbe Temperance
Union should have appointed an efficient
and responsiole committee to investigate
ail cases of alleged liquor selling, and
then, if tbe facts warranted, to prosecute
tbe guilty parties. As a means of ob
taining information
have had power toNjppoint a sub-commit
tee iu each borough and township to aid
in the'work. But perhaps such sensible
and straight-forward action is too much
to expect of such an organization, run, as
it seecbs to be, by a few feverish aud im
practicable fanatics.
The Union finally adjourned, having
accomplished no good, but, as all think,
doing much harm to the Temperance
cause. Many of the friends of the Union
left it in disgust, and probably the organ*
ization henceforth will be dead.

Terrible Accident,— Cut up St a
Machine .—lt is seldom that it
becomes ouf. duty to record so terrible an
accident as that which occurred Tuesday
of last week ia ; Jefferson township, a
short distance thistle of Rices Landing.
George Murdock, a young man, son of
Heisey Murdock, was running a mowing
machine in the meadow of his grandfath
er, Mr. George Murdock, Sr., when the
horses became frightened and started on
the runt throwing the driver forward,who
caught on the harness of one of the hor
ses and held himself up until the' harness
gave way and let him fall before tbe cut
ter bar of the machine, cutting him in a
frightful manner. Whether machine
parsed over him we oil not learn, but be
fore be was extricated from it both bis
anias were cut, one of them nearly sever
ed. His right arm at the wrist was cot
nearly through both bones, severing all
the leaders bat the one that moves the
thfimb. The left arm. between tbe shoul
der and elbow, was cut part way through
the bone. Whether either the young
man’s life or limbs Can be saved is yet a
doubtful question.
v-JWe also learn that young Murdock cut
a.bolt’s legs off with the same machine the
day before he received his injury.—

poisoning case, toijk placer before Justice
Keck last Saturday. District Attorney
Reiber and R. P.JScott, Esq., for tbe
Commonwealth, and Charles McCandless,
Esq., for defense. The weather was hot
and tbe room crowded. Foreman seemed
very indifferent about the matter, and so
was Mrs. Snyder, until tbe evidence be
came too pointed for her stoicism, when
she broke into sobs and tears. Intimate
and improper relations between Foreman
and Mrs. Snyder were pretty clearly es
tablished ; many letters between them
were read fur this purpose, and more were
offered, but, the justice thought he bad
beard sufficient evidence to warrant his
committing the parties to await their trial
in tbe Oyer and Terminer next October.
Which be did. Tbe physicians consider
Mr. Snyder in a very critical condition.

From the last report of W. N. Aiken,
Superintendent of common schools o r
Lawrence county, we ascertain the fol
lowing facts in regard lo the schools of
that connty: Forty-one houses only
have grounds of sufficient size, and but
two suitably improved; one hundred and
three without the necessary out-bmidings;
twenty-five schools have not uniformity
of tqxt books; efght entire failures In
teaching the past year; seven new
houses built; one hundred and fifty-three
schools in operation thirty-seven of which
are graded; in twenty-fonr schools the
higher branches are taught; vocal music
in nineteen of which eighteen are in New
Castle; two hundred and thirty-one
teachers employed thirty-two of which
had no experience; twenty-nine exami
nations were held; two hundred and
forty-six applicants were examined,
seventy-five never taught and thirty-four
rejected; two hundred and fifteen ceriifi

Sure Cura —The following is a recipe
for caring yonng men of indulging too
freely in “tangle-foot.” It is customary
when a person partakes more of this than
his capacity is capable of admitting, to
see him dozing away upon the bank of a
public highway or in some secret spot
under a cherry tree. The modus operandi
of treating a person when displaying'sucb
a phenomenon is as follows: When be is
sound asleep, make a mixture of rails,
logs and stones, taking an equal quanti
ty of logs and stones mixed with about
thirty good and strong rails, and make a
substantial “fold” over him, and not leave
him out until tbe influence of “strych
nine" has entirely deserted the patient;
then let him run ut large, and be sore be
will promise not to get on a "beat"
again. Try it! it works like a magic
charm.
The Pittsburgh Evening Telegraph says;
Most of our readers, perhaps, remember
a laundry of the wholesale order at Belle
ville, N. J., where a Captain Harvey de
termined two years ago to solve the per
plexing labor problem by performing bis
washing, starching and ironing by means
of Mongolian labors. Twenty-four
months of trial have discouraged the
brave experimenter of New Jersey ; bis
Chinese workers have been on several
strikes a number of them have violated
their contracts more flagrantly by surrep
titiously deserting the laundry altogeth
er. Captain Harvey has now only one
half of bis original invoice of Chinamen
left, and is anxious to exchange them for
workmen of other nationalities.
A Fiendish Ad. —The Lancaster Ex
aminer says • A most cruel and inhuman
deed was perpetrated by some fiend in
human shape, on the form of Amos Good,
in Providence township, on Friday last.
Mr. Good is the possessor of three excel
lent horses, one a splendid driving ani
mal, being recently purchased at a cost of
$250. During Friday night the stable
door was pried oped' by some miscreant,
who deliberately cut the tails from tbe
horses, close up to the bone, and after fin
ishing his act of barbarity threw the sev
eral members upon a manure heap in
front of the stable door, where thea could
not escape being seen by Mr Good*
Suspicion points to a certain farm laborer,
who, Mr. Good has reason to believe,
bears a malignant feeling toward him.
Clinton Air Tight.—We are inform
ed that in Salem, Ohio, there are two
families, one c< lored and the other white,
so e namored of each other that each mut
ually (determined to name its children
from one of tbe other. It happened, as
sometimes such things will, that tbe col
ored family got tbe start of tbe white and
nut numbered i#as to children. The list
of family names was exhausted and what
should be done was the puzzling question.
Now a happy thought flushed up iu tbe
mind of tbe mother. If she could not name
tbe little innocent darkey after a member
of tbe beloved family she would . name it
after the white folks’ stove. Tbe idea
took and the babe was christened “Clinton
Air Tight.” If that negro lives be will
be a buster.
Young girls from ten and fifteen a|e
particularly injured by this sort of life,
says a Long Branch letter. Rising at 10
in the morning, a breakfast at or 11,
dawdling through the day talking and
playing croquet until 5, then dressing for
dinner at 6, then a drive, and after that
the evening bop, is a programme for the
day. The young girls are not satisfied
with the attention of gentlemen or boys
of their own age, but must have real
growo-up beaux upon whom to exercise
their fascinations. Little chits of ten nr
twelve walk aronnd the balls on the arms
of men old enough to be their fathers,and
talk “growo-np talk" by the hour. And
what Is true of Long Branch applies with
equal force to all the fashionable resorts.
An Improved Index,—' There has
been a gentleman in town with an im
proved classified index. The improve
ment consists in classifying names under
both Christian and six-names, as John
Smith, indexed under J. & 8., making the
list under each reference much smaller
than when only one letter is used, as S of
the above name. He asked 700 dollars
for the county right, and we have not
learned whether the Commissioners will
introduce it or not, but those who have
examined it say that it would save much
time and labor, and faciliate the transac
tions of business] in the county offices.
The system is particularly adapted to
county offices.
The Lawrence Guardian says; A
daughter of Mr. Reuben Stevenson, of
Slipperyropk township, had a very nar
row escape from instant death {by light*
rI ig one evening last week. The light*
ning struck the boose, passed down a raf
ter, (raising it so as to throw it off the';
plate,) made a hole In title ceiling directly ,
over where Miss Stevehsbn happened to ’
be standing, burnt her hair to a crispy
mass, passed down her Jbofly, tearing her
clothing to shreds, and went through the
floor at her feet. At last accounts she
was likely to recover from the terrible
shock. The other members of the family
were considerably stunned, but escaped
other injury. The house was protected
by » lightning rod.

On Wednesday of last week, as the
Eric express was passing south, near
Clinton they were delayed by several
coal cars that had broken loose on one of
the coal roads and run on the main track,
tearing up the rails and ties for some
thirty feet. The train was delayed some
three or four hours, and the expressions
made use of by many would not be prop*

The New Castle Journal says: An
unmarried woman, about thirty years of
age, who resides in the First ward of this
city, haying come to grief by being dis

laudanum on Monday last in the hope i f
ending her wretched existence, but the
timely intervention of a physician dis
concerted the whole programme, and in
stead of being on the “evergreen shore ’’
she is still living in New Castle.

Tbe Wear and Tear of Life
The cares, anxieties and misfortunes of life have
as much to do with shortening it as disease., They
are in fact the source of many ailments and physi
cal disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia,
affections of the liver, disturbances of the bowels,
headache, hypochondria and monomania are
among these distressing fruits. It is, therefore
of great importance that persons whose minds are
oppressed with heavy responsibilities or harrassed
by family troubles, or excited by speculation, or
perplexed by a multiplicity of enterprises, or iu
any way over taxed or overworked, should keep
tbeir stamina by the daily use of a wholesome ton

enabled to bear up against the difficulties in whlch
they arc involved, and to retain their strength,
health and mental clearness by the regular use of
Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. Diseases which are
prone to attack the body when debilitated and
broken down by over-much brain woik, or ex
hausting physical labor, are kept at bay by the re
sistant power with which this Incomparable tonic
endows the nervous system and the vital organs.
At this season, when the heat is evaporating the
elements of strength from every pore, rn iuvigor -
ant is absolutely essential to the safety and com -
fort of the public, and is required even by the
more robust if they desire to keep their athletic
capabilities in status quo. Bence a course of Hos
teller's Bitters is particularly useful at this period
of the year as a defence against the invisible dis
ease afloat in a sultry atmosphere. It is the most
potent of all preventive medicines and for all
complaints which affect the stomach, the liver and
the bowels, and interfere with the perfect diges
tion and assimilation of food. It is the standard
