LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1882. Hancastet fntrlltgcnct , .j . . .. KONDAY XVSNIKO. SEPT. 11. WgjL Yraag Xea la City asi CeHatrj, The season is at band when the annual hegira of young men from the country takes place. During the present month thousands of youth, all over the coun try, will leave their rural homes and take up their abode, for better or worse, in the great cities. In the majority of cases, according to social statistics, the change will be for the worse j-inery many it will be the entrance upon a life leading to quick and certain ruin, while some, of course, will be taking the first step in a future career of brilliant suc cess. Let any one who is skeptical upon this point solve the matter for himself by watching closely for.a.few years the young men of his immediate vicinity who take this new departure in life at this time. Some of these candidates for success or failure in the always over-crowded marts of trade leave homes' 'scarcely worthy of the name. Perhaps from early childhood they have been compelled to endure pri vations and hardships, the direct and indirect result of; self-wrought ills on the part of parents. Others have been life long victims of honest poverty and toil. They have been taught in a school of ex perience that will serve them well in their future struggle with the world. But many more will leave homes of com fort in greater or less degree, and a fire side arena of affectionate indulgence which they will sadly miss when beyond its kindly influence. To nine-tenths of these young men the future will bring very strange and arduous duties. They will Itc suddenly thrown into a new world where self-interest will seem to be the cardinal and over-mastering impulse and principle. Instead of finding warm hearted, sincere and encouraging friends at every step to help them on, they will soon discover that every friend ship worth having must be fought for, and that it will then almost surely bring enmity also. This is because the new comer must of necessity displace or crowd aside some other aspirant for the confidence, esteem and assistance so much desired and which is absolutely essential to his success. And this brings us to the vital point upon this somewhat trite, but always supremely important subject, viz : The crowded condition of all avenues of labor, mental or physical, in all great cities. Such a thing as a "vacancy never occurs in these teeming centres of human life and activity. Countless changes are constantly taking place in every department of business, but it is like the shirting of the sands upon the seashore. The tides of trade conic and go ami there are always more helpers and would be helpers than are needed. Especially and emphatically is this true of the class which these young men from the country must join. An advertise ment in a single daily newspaper for a clerk, salesman,bookkeeper,law student, etc., etc., will always bring scores and often hundreds of responses, all more or less urgent of acceptance, many with experience and valuable letters to rec ommend them, while many will gladly offer to work hard for wages upon which the self-supporting young man from the country would find utterly inadequate to meet his plainest and most self-sacrific ing requirements. And when the rural aspirant for city, riches has obtained n landing place he will be jostled on every side and at every stage of his progress. If lie has the grit, the brains, the apti tude for the work he has chosen anil persevering habits of industry, he may in time succeed, but he will find it a con tinual struggle and his spirit will often have to be driven to its task like an over' loaded and jaded animal. And should he happen to stumble and fall, he will havo one chance in a hundred of get ting a fresh start. This in brief is the history of tl.e young man from the country in Ameri can cities from a purely business or pro fessional stand-point. And-then the moral battle he must fight and the tempta tions he must resist to escape ruin are absolutely appalling to contemplate. His every step is beset by the enemies of virtue, sobriety and honor, and he must be continually and valiantly on his guard, or he will be taken captive una wares. It is, indeed, a bold and venture some step when the young man from the country enters alone the great city. He is taking his chances in a great lottery: He is preparing to play against experienced players and loaded dice. He may suc ceed, but the majority liefore him have lamentably failed to meet their expecta tions. He would do better to stay right where he is, especially if on a farm. There he may become one of "the country's real freemen. His life will be one of toil, but so it must be elsewhere to succeed, and his chances are as ten to one increased by his remaining at home. He is not needed in the city. He is not. wanted there. If he goes he will soon long to be home again. He is infinitely better off where he is than he will be in the city for years to come at least, ami his future is vastly more promising within the shadow of the old home stead. Candidate Bnosius has evidently learned a little sometbing,but not much, since that remarkable stroke of lightning which rent the political atmosphere at the time of his nomination, and which after the first startling sensation had passed away left a good many people in a condition of hilarious merriment. Our Brosius is nothing if not unique, and the speech ho made at Lititz the other night was but another illustra tion of this fact. Our esteemed con temimrary, the Examiner, evidently rec nized in the blank verse of the Cameron canuiuaio ior congressraan-at-jarge an unusual, not to say phenomenal, contri bution to the political literature of the day. Else we can see no reason it could have had for the surrender of so much of its valuable space to reproducing his utterances. Probably it prints it as a challenge to its Stalwart contemporaries throughout the state to turn out any thing like it Anyone who will go to the trouble of wading through the meagro alistract," as the Examiner I denominates the column-and-a-balf of I I stuff -9 Mind in which it prints in fine type, will j u iu ouMKiy ui'iase anu rnewncai Nourish only the veriest gush, which can- noc oy,any stretch be considered as sleeting' any of the vital issues of the campaign. The amiable Mr. Brosius waddles all around the subject that he is supposed to be considering, soars on the wings of meaningless platitudes into the heights of the infinite, but never gets within hailing distance of the plain bot tom facts that are uppermost in the minds of thoughtful people at this time. Mr. Brosius' closing allusion to the Democrats as ' ' pirates " is exceedingly able in its way, and delivered with an emphasis that will show to his fellow citizens of that political faith the esti mate he places upon their character. The " voluntary contributions :J now being levied by highway robber Hubbell mean one of two things. Either they are to be used in those states where so little interest is manifested in elections that legitimate party expenses 'would otherwise remain unpaid, or they are to be used for the purpose of silencing the voice of the people by debauching elec tions. The first supposition is forbidden by the enormous figures the assessments will reach, and by the fact that candi dates and the people generally are usually ready and willing to pay necessary cam paign expenses The conclusion is' then inevitable that the assessments are to be used as a vast corruption fund. This is a very edifying showing for the ''party of principles.". Tiios. M. Maksiiali. tells a New York Herald reporter that Beaver is " Don Cameron's marionette,'" who can't make two speeches in succession without contradicting himself ; that Stewart will poll 100,000 votes in the stale ; that Paltison will undoubtedly be elected, and he ( Marshall ) is going to vote for Clark, the Democratic nom inee for supreme judge, becauso he is the best man named for the place. He adds that the free trade issue the Cameron managers are endeavoring to arouse is laughed at among the iron men of Pitts burgh. The New York Anti-Monopoly party will meet in convention at Saratoga on Wednesday next, and the two factions of the Republican party in that stale are eagerly seeking their alliance. Cor nell's unsavory record in the ''blind, pool" speculation should effectually squelch his chances to obtain favor with the new organization. It looks as though the Anti-Monopoly parry is strong enough this time to stand on its own bottom, and no coalition with the lie publicans need be expected. PERSONAL.

Rokekt Ckuickshank, a member of tho London salvation array, was recently imprisoned for stealing a watch from ono of tho captains of tho army. Ex-Postmasteu General Jami-s said to a New York reporter yesterday : " I would rather remain president of the Lin coln bank than bo governor of New York. I am content where I am." Madame Makie Geisttnoeii was wel comed by many friends and admirers upon her arrival at New York from Europo yes tcrday. She was accompauicd by Mana ger Amberg, who brought with him a company of forty-two persons, lie pre poses to open a German operatic season at tho Germaaia theatre, New York, shortly. Ex-Secketauy Blaine went to Maine when three or four and twenty, cirrying with him tho manners, habits and tastes of a Kentuckian, and became a leader of Yankee hosts.

" Certain ly, sir," was tho answer. " I believe that to bo tho best way for cultivating in them a sense of responsibility and honor." Thereupon tho friend said : ' Well, frankly now. colonel, if Brady and Dorscy were staying over night' at your house, would you leavo that drawer unlocked ?" His answer was a long and resonant laugh. tlve Men Paralysed by Lightning. A sovero storm, accompanied by light ning, passed over New London county, Conn., Saturday morning. Fivo men in Yantic took refuge in an ico house. The building was struck and all five wero par alyzed for a time. Ono man named Michael Lynch was terribly burned.

THE JURY LOCKED UP. NO VERDICT IN THE STAIi BOCTB CASE. Judge Wylio Indignant and Applying tbe Klgors of tbe Common Laif-Knmort of Fixing- tbe Jury. The jurymen in the Star Route case ap peared in court at six o'clock Saturday evening, when the room was crowded greater than at any timo during the famous Gniteau trial. In rcsponso to a question by Judge Wylio Foreman Dick son stated that an agreement had been reached as to some of the defendants but that further time would be required to consider the cases of tho others. There upon the court sent them back to their hotel, with the statement that bo would meet them again Sunday morning at ten o'clock. Tho first visit mado by the jury at ten o'clock Saturday morning was for the pur pose of receiving further instructions as to the alleged conspiracy and overt acts. This afforded Judge Wylio the opportunity to deal several slcdgo hammer blows at the defendants, and their counsel roso si multaneously to protest against such action, but all to no avail, for, as Mr. Carpenter expressed it, "the mischief was done irreparably and tho government could hardly fail to secure a conviction." Mr. Ingcrsoll tried to break tho force of the. judge's instructions, out juago vvyne declared that this was no timo for argu ment and said that he could not be inter rupted. " Be sure," said tho court to tho jury, "be sure that you have a conspiracy and then he sure that some overt act (one or more) performed by ono of tho con spirators is proved r ". laid, and so far as you arc concerned the question is settled." Mr. Tottcu said that ho excepted to everything tho court had said. "I know you do," put in tho judge, at which thcro was a ripple of laughter. "I do not think it a jest at all. I do not think that what I have said is at all gratifying to the gentlemen. I think that they do not like the law, and they havo a right to except to it and to hold tho court respon sible to a higher tribunal." On Sunday morning the attendance was again very largo and with tho exception of Stephen W. Dorscy, all of tho defend ants were present, promptly at 10 o'clock tho conrt was called to order. At twelve minutes past ten tho jury came into the court room, lookitig rather fatigued. When, iu answer to tho usual questions bv the clerk. Foreman Dickson replied that tho jury had not yet directed h:ra to mako a return, a look in which vexation appeared mingled with indigna tion passed over Judge Wylie's counte nance and was succeeded by a smilo of deep meaning, as ho sarcastically said : " I don't know, but I shall havo to admin ister tho common law in its purity in this respect," and then explained that under tho common law, which ho said was in force in tho district, tho jury were locked up and kept together without light, liro or any of tho comforts of society, until a verdict was reached. ' Hut I shan't adopt that course to-day," ho added, immediately afterward. He recon sidered this determination, however, when Foreman Dickson said ho deemed it proper to Plato that tho jury wero now no nearer au agreement than at tho timo of their last report, for hardly had Dickson ceased speaking when Judge Wylie, calmly but determinedly, said : "Tho time hascomo to administer the common law. Tho mar shall will take this jury to his own room and entertain them as other juries ars en tertained, and tho court will take a recess till S o'clock." Tho announcement ap parently carried dismay to tho jury, and two of them were observed to put their heads together and exchange a low words while they cast very spiteful looks at tho judge. It is somewhat significant that these two men havo been long picked out by persons who arc in daily attendance at tho trial as two who would vote for acquittal ; and their action confirms tho suspicion that two or three men on the jury aro hanging out lor an acquittal in tho cases of tho principal de fendants. Tho determined action of the judgo was evidently received with ap proval by those present in tlio court room. As for the judge himself, he was apparently careless as to tho effect of his action on cither jury or audience. IIo sat uncon cernedly watching tho jury as they tiled out in tho custody of tho deputy marshal aud bailiffs, and then taking his hat, ho loft tho court room. The usual audienco re-assembled at 2 o'clock in tho afternoon to hoar the report from tho jury. Thcro was only ono lady present and sho occupied a scat by tho side of J. W. Dorscy. S. W. Dorscy was present for tho first timo sinco tho retire ment of tho jury, but left the room before tho court was called to order, au ttic oilier defendants wero in attendance, with tho exception of Brady, who remained iu the corridor outsido tho court room door. Judgo Wiley was promptly on hand, aud as ho took his seat ho bluntly said to the deputy marshal " invito that jury down." As tho messenger left tho room, a most oppressive silenco fell over the crowded court room, continuing until his return. Ho reported that the jury would como down if Judgo Wylio had anything to say to them, hut that othci wiso they wero not ready to como into court "The court has nothing to say to them," responded tho judge, and ho im mediately ordered a recess until 10 o'clnck to-morrow. Tho common law in force in the distiict as applied to tho treatment ot a jury is stringent enough if its provisions aro car ried out, but for tho present it will not he en forced in all its rigor by tho judgo. He will bo satisfied with seeing tho jury locked up iu tho marshal's room, instead of having them entertained at a hotel and with depriving them of papers, books, to bacco, cigars aud liquors. In tho after noon, when a recess was taken, ho took occasion to impress upon Deputy Marshal Williams that the jury wero to havo no liquors. "Neither malt, spirituous nor viuous," as he phrased it. He added to Lawyer Bliss, "That will bring them." Thcro aro many rumors ailoat that com munication has been had with the jury. These can bo traced to no reliable source, and are doublcss surmises based upon tho fact that a code of signalling could readily bo brought into uso between the defend ants and members of tho jury had the lat ter been " fixed " and instructed in tho uso of tho signals. Common report mentions the names of Jurymen Dickson, Doniphan, McLanc and Olcott as thoso who have been ap proached by jury "fixers." Juryra-n McCarthy, by his own statement, includes himself in the list of thoso who havo been mado the objects of attack by theso men. Mr. Ker stated to a Star reporter that not three nights ago, a man who is promi nent in this city shook a roll of bills in the laco oi a juryman ana sum : uieso are yours. Stephen W. Dorsoy has got to get out of this. Acquit him and tho rest cau go to h 1." Mr. Ker says that tho govern ment has known of theso attempts upon tho jury for somo time. Thcro are all kinds of stories ailoat. According to ono of theso, two jurors wero bought aud paid for " several weeks ago, aud it is now said that affidavits to support this assertion wero mado five weeks ago aud placed in tho hands of tho .attorney gen eral, who now has them in his posses sion. Mr. Ker said ho was sorry for Brady in this matter, for he did not believe that Brady knew anything about it. His idea was that all tho efforts had been made in tho interest of Stephen W. Dorscy. Schooners Wrecked and Men Lost. Tho American schooner. William T, Farrell, from Cedar Keys to New York, I with lumber, ran ashore at Tortugas dur ing the recent cyclone. She was assisted by wreckers. She is reported bilged. The mate and three of the men left in a boat to go ashore and have not been heard of siuce and are supposed to bo lost. Another American schooner, namo un known, struck near Key West and will be a total loss. The master and crew strip ped her themselves and will send the ma terials home. Sho was from Cedar Keys to Boston. CllAltLKSlMGKKMuLL DEAD. Some Incidents in tbe Life ot tbe Liuryrr and Politician. Charles Ingcrsoll, word of whoso death and burial at sea was received on Friday, was for 40 years one of Philadelphia's ablest and most prominent lawyers. He was a native of that city, being born in the house 505 Walnut street Mr. Iuger soll studied law in the office of his uncle, Joseph R. Ingcrsoll, with whom he was a great favorite and who left him half of his fortune. At quite an early ago he took an active part in politics as a speaker and writer. He was a staunch Democrat, and labored earnestly for tho good of his party. Ono day ia 1862, when the war feeling was at its height, his brother Edward, who lived in Gcrmantown, was coming to tho city on a train when ho mado a remark to a friend who was with him which excited the iro of a young rough who was in tho car. At Eighth and Green streets this roan rushed up to Mr. Ingcrsoll and shouting that ho had heard what he said in the train attempted to strike him with a cauc. Mr. Ingcrsoll, although over sixty years old, defended himself and soon proved too much for his assailant. During the dis turbance an officer arrived and arrested Mr. Ingcrsoll. Tho prisoner was taken to Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets aud locked up. His brother Charles, hearing of tho matter drove to the station house in a carriage. When near Thirteenth, on Spring Garden street, he was recognized and attacked by a party of roughs. Tho old man defended himself as vigorously as possible, but was soon caught on each sido by somo of his assailants, who h eld him whilo another belabored him over tho .head, from tho rear, with a blackjack. Mr. Ingcrsoll was finally rescued in an in sensible condition, and after weeks of suf fering bo recovered. His friends found out all who were engaged in tho affair and had proof enough to convict them all, but Mr. Ingcrsoll would not allow tho caso to go into court. At this timo ho was ahout sixty years old aud was preparing to with draw from politics. When young ho had tho leading men of tho city for his clients, and among others Stephen Girard. MIC. FI.SUKlfS FORTUNE. A HiiUilolimn Shovel Matter an Heir to a Itaronet's Estate. Several months ago Matthew Fisher and his family moved to South Bethlehem from Cheltenham, near Philadelphia. Mr. Fisher iu tho shovel department of tho Lehigh manufacturing company, aud was brought there by tho company to supci intend the finishing department. A few days ago ho received a letter from tho dead letter office in Washington, written by Alexander Cochran, the exec utor of tho estate of Sir Matthew Cullcn, who died at Bollshills, Scotlaud, on the 25th of May last. Tho letter was dated July 23, 18S2, and tho envelope' boro tho address, "Matthow Fisher, Cheltenham, United States America," and on account of the stalo not being given, tho letter traveled around considerably before it was sent to the dead-letter office. Tho letter contained au account of Sir Mat thew Cullcn's death, and tho writer re quested Mr. Fisher to send by return mail a statement of his financial condition, etc. Sir Francis left a valuable estate, aud Mr. Fisher, as his nephew, comes iu for a largo portion. Tho decoasod was a bach elor, and tho brother of Mr. Fisher's mother. Tho parents of Mr. Fisher came to this country about the year 1850, and located in North Adams,Mass., and it was thcro that Mrs. Fisher died, in 18G1. In this caso fortune smiles on a deserving man, as Mr. Fisher is a poor, hard-working mechanic, while naturally olatcd at tho good fortune that has befallen him, he has not had his head turned enough to quit work, but daily continues at his busi ness, aud will keep ou doing so until ho has tho cash in baud, when he will prob ably invest in an establishment of his own. Ho is a highly respected citizen of South llcthlehem, and has gained many friends, who rejoico at his windfall. ONLY SKVKN LS'IFT. A hmall At tendance at tho Annual Gathering ot"Old Defender." Too association of Old Defenders as sembled Sunday morning at tho city hall, Baltimore, for the purpose of attending church service, as is their custom ou tho Sunday preceding tho auuiversary of tho battle of North Point. Only seven were present William Batcholor, aged ninety live ; Colonel Elijah Stanshury, aged niuety-onc ; Goorgo Boss, aged eighty eight ; Nathauiol Watts, aged cight-soveu; Samuel Jennings, aged eighty-live, aud Henry Lightncr, aged ninety.

A driver hoy on tho dirt bank at Phillips & Sheafcr's Malia colliery, at Pottsville, named Charles Boycr, aged fifteen years, was killed on Saturday. Ho went up to the countcr-chuto for the purpose of start ing tho dirt and failed to return. His companions instituted a ncarch, but were unable to find him, and decided that ho was in tho chute, which was drawn and the dead body of young Boycr rolled out. Tho dirt in the chute, it is believed, was blocked and the deceased jumped upon it to force it down, when it suddenly started, taking him with it, breaking his neck in the fall. A New Kullroad iu the Schuylkill Valley. Tho Pennsylvania railroad has placed under contract a line of road from Frazers to Phojiiixville. It runs from Louolla Station (formerly Wayne) to Consho hocken aud thenco by tho east sido of the Schuylkill to Phamixvillo via Norristowu. This will afford accommodation to the residents, in the valley of tho Schuylkill. This plan, it is said, will take tho placo of tho liuo from Philadelphia to Norristowu via Chestnut Hill, the cost of tho lunuel at tho latter place aud tho building of an extensive bridgo across the Wissahickon being reasons assigned for tho abandon ment of this road. A Mayor Shoots Ills drier of police. John II. Johnston, mayor of Danville, Ya., shot John E. Hatcher, late chief of police, inflicting what isj believed to be a mortal wound. The parties mot casually and Hatcher domauded an apology for a statement of Johnston that Hatcher had not accounted for fines he had collected. An apology was rofused. A scuillo en sued and Johnston shot Hatcher. John ston surrendered himself and was admitted to bail in 85,000. murdered by Tramps. Daniel W. Cole, a carpenter living in tho villago of Clostcr, in Harrington township, Bergen county, N. J., was murdered by two men who aro supposed to be tramps. Henry Beggs and Solomon Ileally were at rested in Jersey City, charged with tho crime. It is thought that Colo was killed for $5 which he was known to havo had in his possession be fore bo was murdered. aiUs Davenport la London. Miss Fanny Davenport, tbe American actress, appeared at Toole's theatre, in London, Saturday night, as Diane, the Countess de Lyg, in a new play adapted from tho French of Dumas the younger. She was well supported by Hermann Vezin, Eleanor Buftou and Plympton. There was a full house. Thopieco was well mounted, but the acts wero of rather unequal merit Miss Davenport was well received and was called before the cur tain. The audience was composed in great of Americaus and included tho United States consul general aud . Vice consul, Mr. George A. Sala, Miss M. E. Braddon, and Mr. Clement Scott. a I'ostmaxter's Odd Uulletiu. The Garwoods, N.

Immense Destruction la the Lower End What tbe Wlads and Weather Wrought la Their nad Foxy. Iu order to givo our readers some idea of tho extent of tbe storm of Friday night oue of our reporters drovo over part of the track yesterday, aud was surprised to find tho great extent of tho damages. There has never before been a bad storm in this section that took iu such a large extent of territory. Nearly always they bad been narrow strips of hail, never more than a mile wide ; but this seems to havo gono in several wide strips and in tno centre to have been the very worst From Safe Harbor by way of Willow Street it was terri0c,destroying the tobaceo completely and cutting the corn to shreds. Around the latter place very heavy winds accompanied tho hail and rain, and the corn is badly down and tangled. Going on to Strasbug its courso is marked by sad havoc ; tho very best tobacco of the sea son is ruined. Somo farmers loso as high as thirteen acres. J. F. Horr had eleven acres, very littlo of which had been cut So it is all through this section ; very little of the largest tobacco had been harvested. From Strasburg down to Bart (nearly over tno samo route ot tho big sjorm or last year) this storm passed, leaving nothing standing but tho bare stalks. On down through Eden, into Coleraine, some of the " boss tobacco " which has been frequent ly noticed in this papor, fell before tho de stroyer. Around Providence and Camargo, the storm was very heavy. The streams wero swollen almost as high as during tho late big Hood, and tho roads and bridges aro again hi bad shape, and tho tobacco is ruined. This samo section suffered from a very heavy storm just about a year ago, which used up corn and tobacco badly.. In tho vicinity of Quarryville the hail was not so severe ; somo fell jnst north of tho villago and tho crops of Daniel Mc Laughlin, and several others, were badly damaged. East of tho villago about two miles, the damago is extensive, but west of it tho severest part of tho utorm seems to havo gono, and tho Buck was the centre of that strip. A more com p'eto ficeno of desolation could not bo seen than the corn and tobacco iieldsshow at this placo. The tobacco was fully three weeks late in that section, and. as a con sequence thcro was comparatively littlo cut ; and had tho storm held off for two weeks more thero would havo been housed a very fine lot of tobacco for this year. Tho heaviest losers aro such well-known growers as Dr. Deaver, Downcs, Kauff mans, Peuny, Moorcs, Walton, Johnson, McMichacIs, Rinehcrts fc.,.all of whom aro. largo growers, aggregating saveral hundred acres. Tho roads aud bridges aro very badly washed, and in somo places aro almost im passable It is about tho same along tho river. Liberty Square sudors badly, but Fairfield aud vicinity suffer still worse somo of tho vegetable matter being beaten down iuto tho ground and uothing left of tho tobacco but the stalk. Iu and around Ccutrovillo and over by way of tho Unicorn tho loss will bo heavy, and tho damago is groat down about Pleasant Grove, as well as almost the whole lower end of tho county more or less. Now Texas seems to havo been a very heavy sufferer, tho heaviest part of tho storm going through that section. The damago extended into Chester county aud into Cecil county, Md., and parties from there say tho damago is very heavy. The hail insnranco companies will lose largely and tho adjusters havo so much to do that other parties havo been called iu to appraise losses. In many cases tho loss is total and is so mado by tho adjustment. As wo said before, this storm has been tho most cxtensivo over been known in this couuty and thoso adjoining, and the loss will fall very heavily on many who are not ablo to bear it, being wholly de pendent on this crop for their living, and having nothing elso to depend upon. This is a crushing disaster to them, and many of them will not plant another crop. As to tho corn it is so far grown that tho loss will bo mostly confined to tho fodder. Of course, tho very late will be ruined. From Our Salisbury Correspondent. At a late hour on Friday night a terrific thunder storm, accompanied by hail, passed over this section of tho country. There was somo heavy thunder and sharp lightning. Tho rain fell in torrents for about four hours, aud in conscqucnco tho streams wero greatly swollen. Great damage was done to tho tobacco, corn and other crops by the hail. Aloug tho mountain considerable tobacco and gar den crops were seriously damaged by the hail. Tho corn in somo places has been entirely stripped of its blades, and in other places badly beaten down by tho rain. Renjamiu Weaver, near Springville, had five acres of tobacco badly riddled and his neighbor, G. A. Worst, had a fine patch entirely destroyed. Tho crops in tho vi cinity of Peipica Presbyterian church aro ruined. Samuel Worst and Henry Wan ner each had fivo acres of tobacco bat tered to pieces. Peter Esch hail three acres cut to piece?. Rut little damage was done to tho crops in tho White Horse or Gap, hut a great deal of tobacco was much cut up at Compassvillo. At Buyers town the tobacco'crop suffered great losses. Isaac Ehy lost a large number of acres of fine tobacco, thero being as high as twenty holes cut iu one leaf. Across tho line in Sadsbury township tho storm proved more disastrous than iu this township. Many hundred dollars worth of tobacco is destroyed. In Simmonstown the honso occupied by Silas Austin was struck by lightning and tho roof was badly shattered. Tbe cornice was torn oil' aud the porch post splintered. None ol tho inmates wero injured. Tho hail near tho Nine Points was as large as cherries and was very severe. Window panes were shattered to pieces and the crops were literally cut up. At a rough estimate thcro is at least $20,000 worth of tobacco lost in this township. Many poor people who bad nothing to deimiid on except their tobacco crop will bo almost rendered destitute. The ma jority of tho crops wero not insured. 1.1st of Unclaimed Letters.

Kraph, John B. Shiffer. Dr. Wm. Compton acted as the coroner's physician. The testimony before the jury was to. the effect that deceased had said to Chas. Haag about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning that he had taken enough laudanum to kill a mulo but that it had no effect on an old fellow like him. He had on several previous occasions said to some of his friends that he was tired of life and that he would end his days. Wm. Cornelius, in whose house he had been living for tbe past eight yearr, testified that Mr. Hamilton had been drinking a good deal since tho death of his wife in May last, and that yesterday after noon abont 4 o'clock ho heard him snoring very loudly, and supposed he bad been drinking. At C o'clock he fouud him dead. The vial of laudanum boro the label of Dr. B. F. W. Urban, on which was printed tbo quantity it was safe for ohildreu and adults to tako at a dose. The jury after hearing the evidence re turned a verdict that the said Peter Ham ilton, came to bis death by taking a dose of laudanum with intent to commit sui cide. Mr. Harailtou was a brother of tbo late John Hamilton of this city, and was a man of fine education and excellout qual ities. In bis younger days ho was : suc cessful school teacher. Later iu life, ho had charge of Gablo's sawmill onthoCou cstcga, which ho run for many years. Re cently be was employed in R. A. Smith & Co's. coal yard, but in firmities iusidont to old age, com pelled him to qnit work.

IIo was tho father of three or four children, only one of whom survives him a sou, residing in Selinsgrove. Snyder county. On Saturday last ho made sale of his household effects and said he was going to Selinsgrove to spend the romaiuiug days with his son.

William Miller, Lutheran clergy man, of Uniontown, and Judge Wilson, of Lancaster, late of tho supreme court of Pennsylvania," swindled Jacob Livengood out of $3,000 at Salisbury, about six miles from Meycrsdale, Simcrset county on Thursday. The old gentleman was so affected by his loss that ho did not mako tho matter public until next evening. Mr. Livengood is a wealthy mcmlier of tho Dunkard church and lives on ono of his farms near Salisbury. Ho is about eighty years old, and is known about tbe county generally as " Uncle Jacob." M. M. Hilliard's " Great Pacific Equescurriculum " exhibited in Salisbury on Thursday, and tho two swindlers seem to bo its most profitable attractions. Tho alleged preacher mado his acquaintance with Mr. Livengood, aud took him to the show to see a marvelous curly- haired horso which was supposed to bo there. Thero he introduced the old farmer to "Judge Wil son," who said ho was a prospective can didate for the United States Senate and so licited Mr. Livingood's support. The two took the farmer into au aunor and show ed him a lottery game, which at once struck tho preacher as an improvement ou tho erab bag. Ho proposed that ho and Mr. Livengood should rescue it from its sinful uses and utilizo it for tho good of the church. Tho judgo vouched for the preacher as a mau of substanco, but tho farmer had no money with him. Tho preacher drove him to Myersdalc, lmw ever, whore ho drew $:,000 of his accu mulations out of tbo bank. Then they drovo back to tho show ground, and be fore they were long under tho canvas tho old man's money was out of his bauds. Just how it went or who got it ho cannot explain, but avers that Mr. Miller wept bitterly at his misfortune. Ollicers aro in pursuit of tbe show, and iuteud to seizu tho whole concern, curly-haired horse and all. FATAL KAILKOAD ACCIDENT.
