A despatch from Richmond, dated August

was destroyed on the night previous, and that

No New Jam, But Bear Traps. The Grand
Jury last week refused te recommend the build
ing of a new jail after reporting that the present
jail was unfit for the purpose for which it is
used. They stood nine for and thirteen against.
Some of the jurors who opposed a new jail gave
ns several reasons for the continuance of the
nuisance which they condemned. One was that
they had been made believe that there was an
indebtedness of ? 30,000 on the Court House on
which 16 per cent, iutcrest was paid annually,
and that they recommended a committee to be
appointed to investigate it. The records do not
show any such indebtedness, but if it should be
the case, and the matter has becu concealed ever
since, it will prove more disastrous to the Demo
cratic Ring that existed at that time. Such a
thing might not be Impossible, for we learn that
a Democrat, one of that Ring, circulated the
report, and he ought to know what he helped to
do. Should the investigating committee not find
it true, It will ouly expose the lying propensities
of this meddlesome and hypocritical Democrat.
Another reason "assigned is that a few Democrats
who are looking for office advised the Democrats
on that jury "that it was not policy for Demo
crats to vote for a new jail." This looks as
though a few of the Ring were operating to keep
back the building of a new jail until they again
gel iuto power, to make a fat job out of it like
building the Court House. At that time Com
misbioners were able to buy farms as well as
other officers. We know they were not Repub
licans, aud perhaps some Domocrats, who did
not succeed in getting a 'divy,"are theoucsnow
looking out for speculations In the building of a
new Jail. They might easily fall from grace,
and their early piety be lorgotten In order to rob
the lax-payers. Such occurrences are not alto
gether new, as they have been prac iced by the
Democratic Ring years ago, nor have we any evi
dence that they have reformed. The hypocriti
cal liar with the sanctimonious face, who tam
pered with the Grand Jury at this court, and
6lated that it was not policy for Democrats to
advocate a new jail, Is not the first to cover him
self with the cloak of religion to hide his bad
deeds, aud when his acts become known it will
be as astounding to his fellow Democrats who
entertain honest views, as were those of another
member of the same Ring a few years ago.
The building of a new jail is not a political
project, but it Is a matter of interest to every
tax-payer. It makes no difference to ns what
political party in power builds it, only so it is
erected by honest men who will not be extrava
gant in wasting the county funds. The present jail
is as the Grand Jury report it, a disgrace to the
county ; besides, it is a loss to the county by not
having a new one of the modern plan, as it would
save all the costs of prisoners sentenced to the
Eastern Penitentiary. The' present building is
hardly as secure for keeping prisoners as the
public park on Market square with the gates
battered down. But a jocular juryman suggest
ed the idea of bear traps to be set on the
outside wall to catch the prisoners when they
jump over aud attempt to escape. This may
perhaps be a saving, provided the traps are not
carried off by the King that oppose building a
new jail and are sold for old Iron. There are
some Democrats of the Court House Ring who
never object to tied traps.
For sometime complaints have been made to
the borough council as to the filthy condition of
somg of our streets uud alleys. But as a ma
jority of the borough authorities look np to the
borough Dad for advice on matters pertaining to
sanitary aliuirs, all appeals were made in vuiu,
as that functionary has no desire to improve but
keeps up a continual lameutation about borough
taxes and advises the citizens to "economise." It
looks as though he has no further ambition than to
save all the taxes, to reduce the debt, and let the
streets and gutters to the mercy of those wlio feel
ashamed of the filthy looking condiliou of the
town to improve them at their own expense.
Lately we uoticed some of our citizens engaged
in cleaning the streets iu front of their rcsideuccs,
which has grcuity Iiujnovod their puearance.
For several weeks Third street near Market,
where there is more traveling than any other
part of the town, was a most objectionable point.
Slaguutcd water lu the gutter, aud the filth
washed from the street iuto' them, created such
an obnoxious smell about the corner or Third
and Market slrects that eveu Democratic candi
dates, ho were accustomed to congregate there
daiiy, were forced to change their quarters. Al
though the borough Dad passed place dally,
the deep study of 'economy" overpowered his
belter judgmcut, and ihe din was allowed to re
main iu face of all ihe rumors of Asiatic cholera
prevailing in some parts of the world. Last
week Mr. Charles Gariuger took pity on suffer
ing humanity aud had the disgraceful dirt aud
filth removed at his own ixpewe. Since then
we see no lrogs gamboling lu th mud pools oil
Third street, aud the "fragrance from the laud
aud uiuuure U uo more enjoyed ty the economy
Duds. Mr. Gariuger deserves ihuhauks of bui
ness mcu as wjjll as citizens geueally for doiug
a generous act iu trying to preveit inalurial dis
eases. As there are other place in a similar
condition, we hope the citizens wll not wait for
the couucll to lake action, as uotiing can be rx
pcclcd from Ihum as long as the head and ma
jority cannot stuay auythiug else ut 'economy,"
aud prevent diseases that are lmle tone created
from the noxious sflluvi.i from te guiu-rs and
streets, but remove the tilth tlieuelve.
Beware of tue "Wipders" fcrs "Vkller."
A few nights ago a "fasciuang" widow of
this place was overcome with bo and laid do wu
on a box to rest h-.r weary libs. A young
man, good looking, who id sympathy
in his soul wandered that waymd found the
"widder" stretched out as If sheras lying upon
a cooling board. The young nu aroused her
from her slumbers and kindly ofted his services
to escort ber to her residence iu ae lower part
of the town. For Ms klndncsahe "widder"
sent an officer the next day to big the young
man before a Justice of the pee, where she
made the allegation that the Jiug man had
taken the liberty of extracting nety-four dol
lars from her pockets. The puic opinion ap
pears to be that the young roais lunoeent of
the charge, and that the "wldd" did not have
ninety-four cents let alone sinr-four dollars,
as It 1 only lately she has been charge to the
tax-payers ; nor is it known tt she has re
eclved a legacy from some rich ative that she
might of had.
A Shake Stort. Thus farils season we

kin ; I know Patrick Lawless, the defendant
here present ; 1 live about 250 feet from where
he lived in March last ; I was home on the 17lh
of March last ; I saw the defendant on that eve
ning about 5 or 6 o'clock ; he was going towards
home ; the last I saw of him he was about 250
feet from his house, West Sbamokin, Coal twp.,
North'd Co. ; I saw Mrs. Lawless on that day
about Z i o'clock ; she was going towards home;
I saw both of them again between 7 and 8 o'clock
that same evening ; Eliza Lawless was dead
then ; saw the defendant at the same time ; his
shirt sleeve was stained with blood ; I saw Mrs.
Lawless on the second floor of her own house
first, the same house in which I saw Patrick
Lawless at the same time ; it was the bouse
Lawless lived iu ; I saw marks on the deceased's
bead, breast and face, these marks seemed to
have been made by violence ; there was a good
deal of blood there ; Eliza Lawless's body was
lying partly on the trick and partly on the floor ;
I did not see any blood on the floor, ouly the
marks of five fingers, the marks 6ceracd to me
to have been made as she had been lying down
and trying to get up, kind of scrambling; there
was a bedstead lu the room ; this tick was about
four feet away from the bedstead ; this room in

wounds, I thought one looked as if it had been
made with a knife ; that was just behind the
ear ; it was a straight cut, about 2 Inches ; I did
not examine the wound on her face or breast,
but I saw the wound was between her two
breasts ; it seemed to me as a mark of a heel of
a boot ; I have seen wounds made by a heel or a
boot ; I was close enough to see ; it seemed to
me as If It was a freBh wound.

notify their neighbors to come and quench their

compellcd to hire an extra man to blow their
horn for them, as they have become exhuustcd
already from the too frcqueut visits of candi

Editor Am'.rican :
Criminal suits seem to become more
practable here every dav. I need to be proud ol
our end, but the tide seems lo come against us.
Last Monday a week Jacob Reiter, or Union
town, Dauphin county, was arrested by consta
ble Treon of Washington township, on informa
tion of a Mrs. Arnold or this (Jordan) town
ship, on the charge of for. and bas. Both are
married. J. Reiter had not a very polished
character, and Mrs. Arnold, (maiden name
Music), was married some fc-n years ago to
Arnold. He refused to keep house with her, so
she had him arretted as a deserter. On that ar
rest be had to provide for her, yet the said J.
Reiter made his escape good. After constable
Treon had him arrested iuthe borough or Union
town, he went with Reiter to Isaac Witmer, iu
Lykens valley, to find security for his appearance
at court, and on returning, the constable said
there were too many on his buggy, and allowed
Reiter to walk acioss the fields while he and
Wilmcr drovo along the highway. But Reiter
Mid not return until atVr the constable had left
Uuiontown, when he entered his house and
packed np bis clothes. His wife did not fed in
clined to cry for him, so he thrashed her until
she did cry ; so her next neighbor reports. It
was not the first lashing she received from him,
but would be glad if it was the last one. She is
pious woman, and I hope released from her
tormentor.
In my last letter I stated in the dog and cat
fight the lady applied the broom stick after the
dusting, which is denied by one who thinks he
knows all about the fight. I therefore take the
broomstick back, but leave the duster slide.
. We were somewhat tormented by the candidates
the last few weeks past of both parties. At a
public sale on Friday, the 20th of July last, at
the house of Isaac M illcr, deceased, in this town
ship, two candidates made their appearance on
the ground ; D. S. Reitz, Democratic candidate
for Commissioner, and II. II. DorasKe, Republi
can candidate for Treasurer. The voters seem
to go in strong for H. H. Dorcsife, on the ground
of his pledge of salary. He offers to do the busi
ness for one-half of the general charges, and
since he is deemed and known to be an honest,
upright and intelligent business man as well as
a gentleman, the people at this end would like
to see him nominated aud elected. Some of the
Democrats are talking of voting for him if nom
inated. Since the Democratic party is spaiking
the Roman Catholic church for their vote, they
are afraid our free school system will be demol
ished, and the heads of the Protestants cut off if
the Pope will get the lead. After the nomina
tion I will give more of the political affairs here.
I still remain

Harper's Magazine roit September, 18T5.
Harper's Magazine for September, containing
suvciity-flve excellent engravings, has a happy
blending or the light and picturesque with lis
graver aud more important article. Foremost
among the latter will be ranked Professor Sum
ner's comprehensive review of the financial de
velopment of this country, being the eleventh
paper of the "First Century" scries. No topic
could be more timely, when it Is considered that
"the monetary history of the United Slates,"
as Professor Sumner says, "from the first coloni
zation until now, is a history of experiments
with cheap substitutes for money."
The Number opens with a beautiful illustrated
article on "Gloucestor and Cape Ann," by S. G
W. Benjamin, the author of recent illustrated
papers on Brittany and the Channel Islauds.
Porte Crayon reappears as a contributor, with
an eutertttlnlng sketch or a Virgiuia tournament,
characteristically illustrated.
Another Illustrated paper, by Edward How
land, gives a graphic description or the tourna
ment or medieval limci.
Mr. Conway, in an interesting illustrated ar
ticle on the South Kensington Museum, gives a
very complete rtiume of the art treasures in
Great Britaiu ; recounts the hUtory or the
Museum at South Kensington, and treats or its
architecture and decoration as well as or its art
pictures or specimens or the celebrated Hecri
Deux ware. In another paper Mr. Conway
proposes to consider the museum with reference
to its ed notional or art-training method und
character.
James Parton contributes nn illustrated paper
on "'Keceut English Caricature," and Professor
Uau concludes bis series or illustrated papers on
the "Stone Age in Europe."
"The Song or Deborah and Barak," according
to Dr. Conaut's version and arrangement, with
Dore's striking illustration, will prove interesting
as a reproduction in more poetic from, not simply
or the mot remarkable of Hebrew lyrics, but or
the grainiest triumphal ode in any literature.
Poems arc contributed by T. B. Aldricb, John
W. Chadwlck, Fannie R. Robinson, James Mnu
Rlce Thompson, aud Marcia Smith.
The Number contains three short stories. In
Garth," Julian Hawlborne presents a serial
novel or absorbing Interest uuequnled by the
productions or any living American novelist.
John Bigclow concludes his entertaining scries
or Huytian Pioverbs, aud Miss Anna C. Brnck

To this excellent variety or contents are added
the five Editorial Departments, covering topics

Remember the Dead. In no way can this be
belter done than by erecting a suitable tomb
stone. This has been done In all ages. The

now, so that all can get some kind of a grave

The voluminous and emphatic professional tes

PUBLIC REPORT
OF A
POLICEMAN.
I have not enjoyed good health for several
years past, yet have not ul lowed it to Interfere
with my labor. Every one belonging to the la
boring class knows the inconvenience of being
obliged to labor when the body, from debility,
almost refuses to perform Us daily task. I never
was a believer In dosing with medicines ; but
having heard the Vegetine spoken of so highly,
was determined to try it, and shall never regret
that determination. As a tonic (which every
one needs at some time) It aurpase anything I
ever heard of. It Invigorates the whole system;
It is a great cleanser and purifier of the blood.
There are many of my acquaintances who have
taken it, and all unite in praise of its satisfactory
effect.
Especially among the agep class of people, it
imparts to them the one thing most needful in
old age nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body.
One aged lady, who has been suffering through
life from scrofula, and has become blind from
its effects, having tried many remedies with uo
favorable result, was induced by friends to try
the Vegetife. After taking a few bottles, she
obtained such great relief that she expressed a
wish for her sight, that she might be able to
took upon the man who hud sent her snch a
blessing.

H. R. Stevens, Esi. :
Dear Sir I should be wanting in gratitude, if
I failed to acknowledge what the Veof.ti.nk has
done for me. 1 was attacked about eleven
months since with Brouchitis, which settled into
Consumption. I had night sweats and fever
chills ; was distressed for breath, aud frequently
spit blood ; was all emaciated, very weak, und
so low that my friends thought my case hope
less. I was advised to make a trial of the Vlgetine,
which, under the providence of God, has cured
me. That he may bless the use of your medi
cine to others, as he has to me, and that his di
vine gracs may atteud you, U the heartfelt pray

South Boston, Feb. 9, 1871.
R. II. Stevens, Esq.
Dear Sir I have heard from very many
sources of the ereat success of Vegetine in cases
of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint,
Catarrh, and other diseases of kindred nature.
I make no hesitation in saying that I know Vege
eine to be most reliable remedy for Catarrh and
General debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried cucry supposed remedy that we
could hear of, and with all this she has for sev
eral years been gradually growing worse, and
the discharge from the head was excessive and
very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenc
ed to take Veoetive ; 1 could see that she was
improving on the second bottle. She continued
taking the Veoetinc until she had used from
twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now happy In
informing you and the public (if you choose to
to make it public) that she is entirely cured, and
Veoetinb accomplished the cure after nothing
elc-s would. Hence I feel justified In saying that
Veoetinb is the most reliable remedy, and
would advise all suffering humanity to try It, for
I believe It to be a good, honest, vegetable medi
cine, and I shall not hesitate to recommend it.
I am, &c, respectfully,
L. C. CARDELL,
Store 451 Broadway.
Veoetine acts directly upon the cause of these
complaints. It invigorates and strengthens the
whole system, acts upon the secretive organs,
allays inflammation, cleanses aud cures ulcera
tion, cures coustipatlon, and regulates the
bowels.
Has Entirely Cured Me.

Dear Sir My daughter, after having a severe
attack of whooping cough, was left iu a feeble
state of health. Being advised by a friend she
tried the Vegetine, and after using a few bottles
was fully restored to health.
I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism
I have taken several bottles of the Vegetine for
this complaint, and am happy to say it has en
tirely cured me. I have recommended the Ve
getine to others, with the same good results.
It 13 a great cleanser and pnrlfler of the blood ;
it is pleasant to take ; nnd I can cheerfully re
