It is eaid that the usefulness of the
English sparrows is greatly destroyed
by feeding tLctn in the summer.
In Gardiner, Maine, ice can be bought
Jor$4perton, whilst in New York it
brings all the way from $15 to 25.
General Fhil Sheridan has been au
thorized by the War Department to pur
sue and punish the hostile savages on
the frontier.
Immense clouds of grasshoppers
alighted one day last week near Colum
bus, Nebraska, aud are doing some dam
ago. They are rapidly moving east
ward. John Kaiser, Ehoeuiakcr, of Franklin,
Ohio, ended a four weeks' spree on the
15th inst., by shooting his wife aud in
stantly killing her, aud then killing
himself.
The police of the Brighton district,
Mass., Sunday night made a haul of six
teen railroad thieves. They had been
operating considerably on cars switched
on side-tracks.
Six hundred buildings were burned
and three thousand people rendered
homeless by the late fire in Oshkosh
Wisconsin. Loss about 1,000,000
and insurance 8100,000.
From four millions to six millions of
dollars will cover tho loss by the Chi
cago Sre. Of ibis sum the insurance
companies will have to pay two million
five hundred thousand dollars.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
determined that there shall be no defici
ency bill reported to Congress from his
department, and has given notice to all
officers of the department to that effect.
Under the will of her uncle, just de
ceased, Mr 8. General Bristow, wife of
the new Secretary of the Treasury, has
just fallen heir to a fortune of 230,000
Fortunes, like niihfortuDCs, never come

Bia side, destroyed his barn, two child
ren, aged seven and nine, eight loads of
wheat, and a large quaatity of bay. lhe
children were playing with matches in
the cellar of the bain, aud set fire to the
bay.
If half the croaking men would cease
their grumbling, roll up their sleeves,
do an honest day's work and stop mak
ing the panic an excuse for not paying
honest debts, confidence would be res
tored, trade rovived, and every honest,
industrious man would be enabled to pay
one hundred cents on the dollar.
The last Indian war Uncle Sam en
gaged in, that with the Modocs, was at
a cost ot 8500,000 for every Modoc
killed, aud a little cyphering will sat
isfy any tax payer that it is cheaper to
feed and cloth the Indians than to
starve, strip and fight them. But theu,
fn times of peace, contractors would
have no chance to supply munitions of
war ot triple prices.
Last March, in Topeka, Kansas, R.

not seeming likely to return, Olds was
arrested on supiciort, and now confessed
the crime in the District Court,
Nathan Isaacson has been arrested in
Chicago, charged with firing the build
ing that caused the fire on July 11.

that the peddler had once made an un
successful attempt to do so, and then
boasted that he would have better suc
cess the next time. The hearing of the
case baa been adjourned.
A PITTSBURGH HOLOCAUST.
PITTSBURGH AND ALLEGHENY CITY
INUNDATED HUNDREDS REPORTED
DROWNED PROPERTY SWEPT OFF BY
THE RAOINO WATERS THE MOST
DESTRUCTIVE 8TORM EVER WIT
NESSED IN PENNSYLVANIA LATEST
PARTICULARS.
Pittsburgh July 27. This city was
visited on Sunday and a portion of Sun
day niht by one of the heaviest fulls of
rain that has ever been witnessed in
this section. Its terrible results was
sufficient to iospiro the great terror that
prevailed among the people burning the
heavy fall of rain. I: fell in great
sheets completely deluging the place
and threatening to destroy the entire
property and people. The rain exten
ded within a radius of 15 miles, and
swelling the streams tributary to on en
ormous height which was thought at
oue time to be the cause of the inunda
tion, but it has since been proven that
its cause was not from tho rise in the
rivers, but the rain, which completely
deluged the place.
THE DAMAGE
inflicted is at the present time incalcu
lable, extending as it does over a grea
ter portion of tho city,and tho confusion
is so great that it is utterly imposiblc
to arrive at any correct statements.
The greater portion of tho daaiage,
though, falls upon the railroads, and the
foundations oi many of the largest and
most substantial houses have been so
badly injured that it is feared they will
have to be entirely re-built again.
Numbers of frame builiings were lifted
entirely ftoin their foundations and
floated oil some distance A number ot
rEilSONS WERE DROWNED,
according to the reports in here, but as
yet do bodies have been recovered.
In Allegheny City, which is situated
a short distance fruui here tho storm is
reported to have raged with equally as
much if not more violence than it did
here. A number of houses were com
pletely destroyed there aud the distress
and loss of life is represented as being
terrible. Over fifty persons arj reported
drowned, many of whom wero swept
out ot their houses into the rncinir
watets. Besides these a number ore
reported as missing aud as in here it
will bo ut'erly impossible to dutermiue
the losses until
THE WATERS SUBSIDE.
The waters poured down in floods
from the hills, sweeping every obstacle
that came in its way.
The Pennsylvania railroad shops and
engine house are partially submerged.
The Fort Wayne road is reported to have
escaped the flood entirely, Lut the Pan
Handle route is represented to have been
considerably damaged. The workfcho'S
being almost entirely submerged ami the
track and bed of the road has been
washed away for some distance. It will
not be rendered fit fur service for sev
eral days aud perhaps a week.
T II It UNION DEPOT
was in considerable danger ot being
flooded at one time, but the alarm was
given and the fire department responded
quickly and by- their combine J efforts
relieved the pressure of the waters enn
sidcrably, The Pittsburgh yard is filled
with mud, stones nud other iL Iris to a
debth of several feet.
THE STORM
reached the height of its violence be
tween c'uht and ten o'clock. The night
was the darkest imaginable, and cbovc
tho roar of the elements the crits ct
those in distress could bo distinctly
heard. The storm did not extend be
yond Wall's station, fifteen miles beyond
the city.
LATER.
2:40 p. m. Tbo loss of life is more
frightful than was at first supposed.
Reporters are now hurrying in from the
scenes of the disaster, and they repre
sent a still greater loss of life. At
Bueuera, in this State, and about eight
or niue miles from this place, tho num
ber of persons drowned is said to be
100, of which 07 bodies have bceu re
covered. BTILL FURTnER MORTALITY.
At Saw Mill Run the loss is reported
at CO drowned, of which number 31
bodies have been recovered.
At Wood's Run the loss is unkowned
but it must have been terrible, as 75
bodies have been found. The scenes
are appalling, and among those who
perished are many women and children
It is the direst calamity that bus ever
visited this section. Hundreds of faru
lies are rendered homeless anl tho
suffering is incalculable.
TUB RAIN.
fell for several hours and was accom
panied by a severe wind storm. The
country for fifteen miles around here
was completly inundated, causing the
Monongahela to swell into a roaring
volume of water. A number of vessels
were washed from their moorings ut the
wbaves, into the country and swamped.
The damage to property cannot now
be estimated, and the loss of life is
feared to be greater than has beeu thus
far reported
STILL LATER THE LOSS OF LIFE ESTI
MATED at 21'J.
Pitsburgh,July,28 Noon. It is now
thought that the loss of life will reach
219. Business in this city and Allegh
eny will be suspended at 2 o'c'ock this
afternnou for the purposo of taking
some action towards raising means for
those who have suffered by tho terrible
calamity.
In Chambcrsburg recently, we learu
from tho FuLlic Ojtt'nio'i, a lady think
ing she would have a stewed fowl for
dinner, killed a chicken in the usual
manner. Upon cutiug open the gizzard,
however, she found it crammed with
potato bugs. Tho effluvia atrising from
the bisected organ was nauseating and
she threw it out with the entrails.
Preparing the other portion of the
ohicken, she cooked it, but when placed
upon the table and tasted, the flesh was
found to be so impregnated with "bug
juice" as to necessitate the discarding
of that part of the meal.
