A treasury mystery Is now under, going Investigation by the authorities ftt Ilarrisbiirg. There seems to he rtn over-Issue of 1W53 bonds of $100,000 that cannot he accounted for. Borne of them have come from a " strange, party In Europe." The question of their pny. in en t will be submitted to the next Legislature. The Crops of the State. The Secretary of the Ftnte Hoard of Agriculture reports the following : From the averaged July returns of !!00 ofllcial reports of this board It would seem that our crops for 1878 may be es timated as follows, an average crop be ing rated at 100: Wheat, 122; rye, 100; barley, IM; oats, 144; hay, 10H; straw, 111 ; garden produce, 09 ; apples, 49 ; peaches, 42 ; pears, 04; Cherries, 58; plums, 61; grapes, 04; berries, 1)1. The average wheat crop of the State being about 15, 030,000 btishelB, we may place that of 1878 at 18,750,000, with chances In favor of a decrease to 18,500,000 under the final test of the half bushel. The Increased acreage, when compared with that of the past ten years Is largely due to the fact that In the oil and lumber counties the stagnation of business has forced men into agricultural pursuits. The New Party. " The Nationals," as the greenback party Is now general called, seems to be steadily gaining In different parts of the country. In Massachusetts It has al ready gained enough power to make the result doubtful as regards the Btate ticket, while It Is generally conceded that one or two " Nationals" will be elected to Congress from the western part of the State. J n New Jersey the new party has already rendered two of the Congressional districts uncertain. In the south and west many districts heretofore certain, are now classed "doubtful." What Is singular In this movement Is that in some districts, the new party gains its strength almost en tirely from the. Republican ranks, while in others, the Democrats suffer, and yet in other localities the new party Is made up about equally by voters from both. . In this county those who claim to be posted say that " The Nationals" will poll 500 votes. The uncertainty re garding their strength throughout the State, and the source from which its voters come, render the result of the fall elections more than usually uncer tain. Thirty Deaths by a Storm. On the evening of the 10th Inst., at about 0 o'clock a terrible tornado passed over Wallingford, Conn., blowing over houses, uprooting trees, and causing the greatest devastation. . The tornado made its appearance in a storm, coming out of Mount Lamentation, northwest of Wal lingford, the wind blowing from the southwest, which blew up apparently another storm, and the two seemed to come together over the lake, causing what appeared to be a waterspout 250 feet high. The tornado had a rotary motion, and was in every respect like a tropical torna do in its wild career. The track swept over is about 200 rods wide, and extends easterly for a long distance, its ending point not being known. Two miles east a barn was blown down and trees were uprooted. No idea can be conveyed of the destructive sweep of the storm over the territory visited. It laid everything waste, turning up by the roots large trees and stripping them of limbs and leaves ; tearing up large monuments and tombstones in the Catholic burying-yard ; scattering the Catholic church, built of wood, like chaff; throwing houses over and filling cellars with debris, and when it reached the top of the hill on the principal street, the high school brick building (which cost $30,000) had two stories taken off in an instant. At midnight twenty-one bodies had been recovered and laid out in a district school house. The sight was most sickening. Pro bably 60 or 60 are wounded, many of them dangerously. There were many narrow escapes. The town is compara tively quiet now. A special police force is on duty. It is thought that more dead may be found in the morning. One of the killed was near the railroad track, and was found, terribly mutilated, more than 200 rods distant. The tornado came just as the people of the district swept were preparing for tea. Many bouses caught Are, hut the rain extinguished the tinmen. The deaths up to Frldny of last week were thirty. 1 ' i The Greatest Snake Story on Rceord. . Last week farmer Potts, of Ilerks county, was the victim of a terrible ad venture. , Becoming drowsy he laid un der a tree, and while sleeping a snake nineteen inches in length and of a green color darted into his .mouth and descended into his stomach. After he awoke he cxprlenced a pccullarand sick ening sensation. At times frothed at the mouth, and his eyes almost started from their sockets. A physician pressed his ear to l'otts' breast and distinctly heard the movements of the reptile. The victim was required to inhale the steam of boiled milk, which produced a strangling sensation, the snake having made an unsuccessful attempt to leave the stomach, l'otts was then laid un der a shed roof and put on a wogon. A strong rope was tied to a beam and then securely wrapped around the legs of the sufTerer. The wagon was then pulled awny, and l'otts was left dangling head down. While In this position he again inhaled the steam of boiling milk. The patient's tongue protruded and his eyes started. The thick steam flowed into his throat and the sufferer made a noise as if choking. Then quick as thought the doctor saw a head protrude, and seizing it with his naked fingers he quickly pulled and the reptile was dashed into an empty bucket. In a few seconds Potts was lying on the ground nearly dead, lie was given some whisky and water and was rubbed with coarse toweling and finally lie seemed to be resting easy. Ills eyes were bloodshot and every vein seemed bulged and ready to burst. He was carried into the house and put to bed, and light food was ad ministered. His throat was very sore, still he was thankful when he was told that the reptile had been removed. He Is slowly recovering. . . A Bloody Fight. Augusta, (Ja., August 14. A ililll culty occurred at Edgefield, S. C, Mon day, In which three men, Urooker Toney, Thomas Booth and James Booth, were killed and seven others wounded, one of them mortally. The trouble grew out of a family feud of long standing. To ney's brother wits killed several years ago, and Toncy suspected that the mur der was committed by the two Booths. He therefore swore that he would kill the latter on sight. The hostile parties met on Monday, when Toney proceeded to carry out his threat. He drew a pistol and fired, killing the two Booths before he was shot himself. Friends of both parties were drawn Into the fight and about seventeen shots were fired In all. There was a Democratic political meeting in progress at the time about half a mile from the village of Edgefield, in which the shooting occurred, and Governor Hampton, who was at the meeting, as soon as he heard of the aflUir ordered a company of State troops to the scene. There was no fighting after the soldiers reached the spot. Toney killed a negro in Edgefield a short time ago, but this does not seem to have resulted in any curtailment of his liberty. Threatened Strike in Silk Mills. Patterson, N. J., August 14. The silk spinners are organizing a trade union, and have appointed a committee to report upon a name and to draw up the constitution and by-laws. The silk manufacturers were Informed yesterday that the union would fix wages at $12. They were requested to reply before to morrow evening. The spinners declare that it they are not paid the required woge s they will order a strike in all the mills. A silk manufacturer stated yes terday that young girls and boys be come expert spinners in a fortnight. The spinners earn at present from $4 to $5 75 a week. The manufacturers will pay no attention to the demand made in the letter. 1 Running Away With a Looomotlve. Cincinnati, August 13.' A special dispatch says While a passenger train on the Springfield, Jackson and Narrow Gauge Ball road was standing at the Bainbrldge, Ohio,' station at noon yes terday, the engineer and fireman being at dinner, Albert Pepple, a resident of Bainbrldge, brazed by hard drinking detached the locomotive from the train, pulled the throttle-valve wide open, and before any one could Inter fere, the engine was flying over the rails at the rate of fifty miles an hour.

Tho Brooklyn police have Just found one of the men whom they want ed badly, In the person of Billy Porter, who was living in a fine residence near the Park, passing for a wealthy station er, and the Boston police think that " Baltimore Jim," whom they have just apprehended, is the moving genius in the many burglaries that have been an noying the people of that city.
