The little victim will be remembered by a number of our cit izens when, as a little child, be was here with his parents about ten years ago. Following is the dispatch Jimmie, the 13-year-old son of Will J. McCounel, the temperanco lectur er, was brutally murderod this after noon by his uncle, William J. Rich- ter, The boy was amusing Richter's two little daughters by playing "house" with them in the yard, iu the rear o" Richter's residence, in lower Allegheny, when the murderer came up to them. He spoke pleasantly to Jimmie, and then sent the little girls to the store for ginger snaps. hen the girls returned to share the cakes with their cousin they were horrified to find him lying on the floor of the play house with two great holes in his head. 1 he boy lived but a few hours Rithter had taken a hatchet and bur icd the blunt end in his nephew's head twice, fracturing the skull in horrible manner. After committing the deed the murderer escaped anil has not yet been captured. Richter at ono time was confined iu au insane asylum, and previous to to-day had made two attempts lo commit murder He was doubtless under the influence of the murder frenzy this afternoon The murderer was still at large on Monday, and though the entire de tective force of the city was on his trail, he hai' thus far succeeded in keeping his hiding place a secret Tho parents ef the murdered boy live in Clevelaud, and had lately gone Allegheny to attend tho funeral Mr. McConnell'o mother.

Agreoablo to tho notice given in the last issuo of this papor tho grangers and their friends began to nsseniblo in Forest Orango Hall, at an early hour Saturday forenoon, to celebrato the 8lh anniversary of tho Hfo of this particular link in chain of farmers' societies that bind the North aud South from tho Atlantic to tho Pacific in one great grange family, There is an old saying that tho "easiest way to a man's heart is through hisstoin ach" and so the celebration took the form of a good, old-fashioned grango picnic, As soon as the young people commonced gathering In, a swing was put up and other preparations made for an out-door festival. A slight shower, however, compelled our good matrons to spread tho festal board within tlie ball, where we, after doing credit to the feast, and in justice to our stomachs, settled down contentedly to enjoy whatover of a inon tal feast might bo in store for us. After tho sinking of several gloes the assem blage was called to order by C. A. Henry, lecturer of Forest Urango, and after tlie singing of an appropriate odo, and a few preliminary remarks by tho chairman, Hrother Wheeloek, Past Master of I.imo- stono Orange, Warren Co., was intro uuceu, who in a very nolo mannor showed us bow tho grange could and was helping them to Improve tiioir condition as tillers of tho soil. Ilrothor AVhcelock is an earnest supporter of tho grango and and its work and it gave us great pleas uro to listen to his talk. Wo are sorry mat no uocs not live as closo to us as we do to him, for if ho did wo could have tlie pleasure ol hearing liim talk much of. tenor. Afler the singing of another se lection by tho choir, W. F. Hill of West ford, Pa., lecturer of state Orange, was introduced, who in a very interesting and instructive discourse explained the grango-work in general, and its educa tional features iu pai tcular. lie explain ed to us how tho grango was the best school extant for tho development of a high order of citizenship in a farming community. Kdircation is tho chief end and purposo of the order and tho good work goos steadily on. About twenty seven thousand subordinate granges have already been organized, every one of which is a school for tho farmer and his family. Isolation, distrust, supersti tion, prcjudico and Ignoraneo aro giving placo to social enjoyment and culture, confidence, well grounded failh, libeiul ity, charity and intelligence. The grange lnts been in existence longer than any oilier farmers' organization, ami has proved its claims. It lias outlived tho period of ridiculn, distrust and lini'-o op position, and us a farmers' organization it is stronger to-day than at any previous time in its history of more than a quar ter ol a century. This interesting lecture was followed by song, after which tho assemblage re paired to their respective homes to get their evening meal, do the chores, elo. Hut by K o'cloc k many ol thjsuiue faces wero ugain seen at the hall, aud many clhers camo and wo had a treat in llio lecture given by lliotlier II ill. Hospoke almost entirely on the grunge's power in legislation, discrimination, taxation, ap propriation and representation. Ho told Us that the grange could claim but one rcpri sentalivo 7 ye ars ugo iu iho House of ltcpresentali ves against li, this current year. He showed how tho fnriiiors who were selfishly keeping uloof from the grange, wcru gladly reaping a share of llio grange's accomplishments. How the grange had unbeknown to those out side brought to theiii, us wi ll us grangers, great benefit-. 11W in all this gond work the grange was non-pan isau. We lire very grealful to limUicr Hill for his kindn.'ss In coming so far to bo Willi and instruct us, and Me hope the good heed sown may bring forth much Iruil. Long li e tlie Orange ! A Paiuok.
