SAD TRAGEDY ! ONE MAN KILLS AT.OTHER I N „
SIKEEI FICHT ! OnTuesday morning last. our usu
ally quirt town was thrown into a state of intense
excitement, by the shooting of Jacob Crouse by J.
P. Reed, Jr., both of this place. We will try to
narrate the circumstances under which this unfor- |
lunate affray took place, as accurately as we can
gather them from those who were witnesses of the
recurrence. Mengel Reed, a student of medicine
in Philadelphia, and a brother of J. P. Reed, Jr..
has been staying at his fAther's house for some day*
on a visit. Whilst Mengel was sitting in front of
bis father's house and frequently when walking
with ladie* on the street, Crouse would call him
•'rebel," "traitor," and accost him in this wise,
"flow are you, Johnny ?" "How are j'ou. Reb ?"
This was borne silently by Mengel until last Satur
day, when sit'ing in front of bis lather's office,
< rouse, paseing him, said, "How are you, Johnny ?"
blengel replied that he would cane him, if he would J
continue TO insult him. J. P. Reed, Jr., hearing the
allcicaiion between his brother and Crou.se, stepped
between them and asked what was the matter.—
Mongol replied, "This creature has insulted me a
gain." J. T. asked Crouse, "Did you ?" The latter
replied "Yee, 1 diJ!" and came menacingly toward ;
J. P.,-who struck Lirn and knocked him down.—
Crou'o, being a powerful man, rallied, when he was
again knocked down by Reed. At this juncture, j
the peace officers interfered and the parties were
separated. On Saturday night, os Schell W. Reed, :
a brother of Mengel and J. P. Reed, Jr., was going
from his uncle Jacob Reed's bouse towards his la
ther's, Crouse leaped upon him, struck him to the
ground and was beating him terribly, when J. P. j
Reed, Jr., came to the rescue and .knocked C.'ouse
down several times, /t this crisis a laige crowd
had gatheied in the street, and for a few minutes '
there seemed to he imminent danger of a riot.— ;
Through the exeitior.s, however, of the constables
and Capt. Adams, of the 187tb, order was restored- I
ThU6 matters stood until Tuesday morning, when |
J. F. Reed, Jr., and Jacob Crouse met on the street.
Crouse said something to Reed, ar.d the latter told
him he-wanted to have nothing more to do with him, I
at the same tijne turning to walk away. As Reed
turned,Crouse struck him with a stone nearly felling
him, and was in the act of striking him with ano
ther stone, when Reed fired upon him, killing him
almost instantly. This is a sad, sad affair, and we
hepe may be the last of the kind it shall ever be '
our painful duty to record. Mr. Reed gave himself
up to the authorities and was placed iu the county j
prison. We hope our readers will not make up. or >
express, any opinion in regard to this case, in view i
of the fact that some of them may be called to sit
upon it as jurors. Reserve your opinions until you
hear the testimony in court.
P. S. An effort has been made by the counsel for j
the prosecution, to prove a conspiracy for the kill- ,
ing of Crouse, which has utterly failed. Mo one
was committed except the three Reed boys. The ,
physician of J. P. Reed, Jr., says he is hurt badlv
by the blow received from the stone in Crouse's
hands, and that if he had been struck a few inches •
higher he would have been killed. A
AN INCIDENT OF THE FOUETH AT BLACK SXAKE
HOLLOW. —The following "good 'ua" on the reader j
of the Declaration of Independence, at the late Ab
olition celebration in Defibaugh's woods, came to
our ears a few days ago: Back some distance from
the speakers' stand, stood a fellow whose knowing
4ooks indicated plainly that he kngw "what's what,"
and that what he didn't k. •• w wasn't vc h one's
while to learn. With hi; hat coo' e! on one side of ,
his head and both his he: ! s in his pa: la •..? >, IL-k
--ets, he listened with great attention to the it,. :rg
of the immortal Declination, by the handsome an t
graceful youth selected to perform that duty. The
first few sentences caused him to grin, but as the
reading proceeded, the ghastly smile vanished from
his lip a , and his countenance gradually elongated
uu!tl he looked somewhat like the rr:*n who was
supposed to have struck William Patterson. Di
rectly the reader came to those immortal sentences .
in which the Leclaraticn sets lojth its indictci nt
of George the Ttird;
"Ke has erected a multitude of new offices, and !
sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people
and eat cut their substance.
"He has affected to render the military indepen- '
dent of, and superior to, the civil power."
"For imposing taxes upon us without our consent.
••For transporting us beyond the seas to be tried
for pretended offenses.
"For depriving us in meny cases of the benefit •
of trial by Jury. J '
The knowing Abolitionist could restrain his in
dignation no longer. "D—n that red-headed cop
perhead I 1 won't listen to any more of his stuff,
i'ou needn't tell me he has changed his politics.—
I'll bet a hat he is praying inwardly that God may
forgive him for'voting for Abe Lincoln!" And off
Went our knowing blackie to solace himself in a
private conversation with one of his colored br t th-1
ren, swearing at the copperheads and threatening
to demolish them with a tosdt as long as the Abo- i
lition procession.
MORE ABOUT THK "HOPEWELL" STRIKE. —A pri- 1
vate letter recently leceived by a gentleman in this ;
place, confirms the statement that the Hopewell
Oil Company have attack a fifiy barrel well. The ;
"d obtained frotn thi" well is lubricating and woith
five dollars .more per barrel than the Oil Creek oil. '
The Clarion Democrat, of July 29, has the follow- j
ing in regard to this we'f: "Hopewell in lack :
We are leliably informed tha, a well on the land of
the Hopewell Oil Company, on the Allegheny river, j
about 7 miles above Kmlenton, at the depth of 300
feet, is now flowing oil ?i the rate cf 50 barreis pei
•lay. The tubing was put down, and pumping com- ;
menced, when it immediately began to flow—throw- I
<ng the oil ov| the derrick. The oil may not bold j
out at its present depth, but there is every prospect '
vl it being a mart valuable i\ell. The Hopewell
Company own a milp of river front where this fine
well is situated, and from present indication! it will
prove one of the most valuable properties on the
river. We congratulate the company, aiid also
r pt. Fee—their energetic superintendent—on their
good fortune. We are sorry we do not own some
•toek in the Hopewell."

j SOME TREES.— A correspondent hands us the fol
lowing interesting description of some of the fa

BEDFORD, August 1, 1865.
MR. EDITOR : —1 had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
James F. Deyarmin, one of our citizens, who has
i quite recently returned from California. As he is
| a practical and observing man, 1 was much interest

i interesting specimens of the silver-bearing quartz,
d-c. But 1 desire to give you a few figures taken
from his diary in relation to the great "Mammoth
Grove" on Sierra Nevada mountein, Calaveras coun
ty , California, which he visited, and pronounces one
of the wonders of the world. I have no doubt they
will interest your many readers, as they did me. It
! appears this Grove is now owned by a Mr. Pregg
well, and its value exceedssl,ooo,ooo. Icislaige
ly visited by parties from all parts of the world.—
| The "Mother of the Forest" measures 327 feet in
j height, and 7S feet in circumference. Another tree
! called the "Miner's Cabin," for a number of miners
dwell therein, measures 32 feet in diameter. The
! "Father of the ForeBl" reaches theenorrnous height
oi 450 feet. "Mother" and "Son" 412and410 feet,
respectively ; "Old Bachelor," 402 feet, "Siamese

Mr. Deyarmin, being a judge of timber, thinks
this grove both tall and venerable, and so does your

PIA.NOS THAT WILL LAST. —The Rev. Di. B. S.
I Schneck, of Chambersburg, himself a man of ceci-
I dedly musical taste and a good judge of instruments,
I says of Dunham's Pianos:
! "1 regard them the best, as well as regards fine
i tone as durability, within the range of my knowl-
I edge. 1 have known Mr. Dunbarrf's Pianos for 27
: years, and my opinion remains unchanged, that thete
I is no better instrument in the market, and at so rea
sonable a price."
By calling on Dr. Sct.neck, either in person oi by
letter, further information can be obtained. He
f has kindly consented to order Pianos and see then
' sale! y delivered and put up. At 7 Piano wart anted

CONCERTS* —Mr. R. A. McClme. who for some
j time past has been engaged in teaching vocal mu
! sic in this place, gave concerts in the Union Schoop
I House, on Friday and Saturday evenings last. The
juvemies perl oi met! excellently. Indeed we were
I astonished at the correctness with which they sung

Why Cameron Left the War Department. :
j We ret' nv'.i some days ago, to the ; vent
; ; ortrait pre:- lion to Cameron at Harris- j
burg, u.iJ the attempt on the part of Si mot:.
: ur.il his friends, to gall the public into the be- 1
lief that the avowal of emancipation sentiment?
was the cause of his resigning the position ot j
j Secretary of War. We stated then, that thi?
was a mere pretext to cover Cameron's bring j
• kicked out of the Cabinet, for shameless Gis- :
honesty and incompetence. This view of the
' case, we see, is endorsed by Col. A. K- MeClure
! of Chambersburg, one cf the best informed and
most acute Republican politicians in Petnsylva
, nia. In his paper—the Repository —the Colo
: no! says:
"General Cameron withdrew from the War
■ Department because, like lllatr, Chase, .Smith
j and I tiler he wag pohtehj requested to do so.
He was appointed, with Kates, Chase and
i Seward, because he had aspired to the Chica
i go Domination and was a competitor ot Mr.
• Lincoln for that honor. So little did Mr. Lin
coln know of public men who were prominent
merely as politicians rather than as statesmen,
that he did not know, two months after his e- I
lection, that Mr. Cameron had been a Senator i
| in Congress from 1846 to 184*, when Mr. Lin- |
coin was a representative, lie knew but little j
of public men, save shoe who won his heart 1
i or judgment by the eminence of their attain
ments in the national councils. He was sel
' dim out of Illinois, and was without national
i fame until his memorable content with Doug
j lass in 1858. He appointed Mr. Cameron,
I therefore, because Pennsylvania had presented
; him for the Presidency, assuming that so great
a state would award its highest honors to its
| most worthy citizen The statement of the
Chicago Republican , that Mr. Cameron voluu
taiiiy withdrew fnm the Cabinet because he
I would not consent to remain any longer with :
General McClellan at the head of the army, is j
purely gratuitous and we hazard little in the
1 assertion that he never made the statement or
authorized its publication. That General Mc- j
I CielLin an '. Mr. Cameron differed at times a
i bout appointments we do uot doubt; but his
| portfolio was not surrendered for that reason.
He withdrew simply because resistance to his
i administration ha? culminated in so imperious a
demand upon tiie President from Congress, the
: monied men of the cities, and the country gen
erally, that it had to be obeyed. The loading
New York financiers demanded his removal or
shattered government credit as the penalty for
denying it, and a Republican Congress became
decided in its hostility to hi 3 continuance in
office —so much so that even after his retire
ment formally censured him by resolution for
aal-administration; and he was ignorant of his
own resignation until Secretary Chase called
upon him with a letter from Mr- Lincoln, in
which ho was informed that he was no longer
Secretary of War. but Minister to Russia. Of
hi? successor ho had no kr.oweldge until the
nomination of Mr. Stint in was sent to the
Senate, togeather with his own as. foreign Min
ister. and his letter of resignation, afterwards
published, to which the letter of President Lin- 1
coin seemed to be a reply, was written some .
days after Mr. Lincoln's letter had been deliv- :
| ered, and Mr. Cameron had retired from the !
Cabinet. The arrangement of the correspon
-1 deuce was an after thought, and cue ot Lin
! coin's many balms to the wounds he was so of
ten compelled reluctantly to inflict."
Who are the Secessionists?
The people of several States of this Union,
becoming dissatisfied with the manner in which
the government was carried on, and be.: aing
• that tiieir constitutional rights had been disre
garded,. tried the experiment of setting up a . ep
• urate and independent nationality for them? dn-s.
i'his the other Suites would not agree to, and
: after a contest which lasted four years the at
tempt failed. As soon as that fact was demon
strated, the defeated party at once submitted,
all resistance to the authority of the nation
ceased, and a general and sincere desire was
manifested to resume those relations with the
General Government which had been disturbed
by secession and its attendant war.
The party in power clamored for the prose
cution of the war as the only means of snppttsss
-1 ing the hated doctrine ot secession, and re cor
ing the revolted States to their old aile*i:>
under the Constitution. They denounced as
secessionists and rebel sympathizers all who
| would not endorse every measure, no matter
! how hostile to the Constitution or unneee? nry
, j under the circumstances, which they declared
| was necessary to bring the revolted States r ace
more into the Union. Now when the lately
! rebellious States desire to return, to obey the
. | Constitution and the laws passed in accordance
! with the same, the radicals object. They say
i the States are to be treated as pr< vmces, as
j colonies held by the military power of the na
! tion, and that they should not be alllowed to
j resume their old places tn the confederacy of
1 States.
' \Y ho are the secessionists now ? ly v hat
• other name can the radicals be called*? S • far
!as their action is concerned secession is to be
perpetuated, to be made a fact as well as athe
: ory. Ihe teaching and practice of the radi a!s
jin opposition to the President's reorganization
' policy is a full endorsement of secession, a doc- i
| trine born in New England, which section has
I not failed to invoke its aid whenever it \v"s
j deemed expedient. The only secessionist' to
day are the radicals, and they should he so de
nominated by the people.— Age.

[From the N. Y. Haiald.]
J About baif-past one o'clock yesterday after
' noon a tragic alfair, resulting in the almost n-
I stan: death of gentleman r.mcd Joseph Yai,
i D.-ren, occurred ft the office of tiie latter, No.
' 40 Beaver street.
The event created the most intense excite
ment in that neighb rhooJ; atld, indeed all
through ltie lower part of the city where the
; f'a"t became known. From what could be
! learned concerning the tragic affair it appears
j that Mr. Van IXren was a city weigher and.
ganger, and did bu.-iness at No. 40 l'caver
street. He formerly had in his employ a gen- t
tleman named James F. Oram, now o! the tirm .
of Messrs Oram & Thomas, also city weighers
and gangers, whose place of business is at 61
i Broad street. At the time indicated above 1
| Mr. Oram called at the office of his former cm- j
ployer. but for what purpose, or length of t rae |
he rem a inc. 1, docs not definitely appear, it is !
certain, however, that 'o fore leaving. Mr. Van
i Doren was shot through the heart with a ;ue*
! barreled pisaol, alleged to have been in the hand
'of Oram. After the weapon was discharged
Oram was seen to run from the building and {
proceed down William street. He was pur
! sued and arre ted by Mr. Win. H. Klrby. n
i siding at No. 1 ■ 1 En-t Tu rit) -Vix.iii . Irefct.
• in a moment afterwards officer liiley, of the
First precinct, who was also in pursuit came
jup and took Oram in charge. The prisoner
i wa- ; iken to til' station house, and on search-
I ing him a singlc-barreilctl pistol, heavily loaded
| and capped, was found in his possession. The
; accused, in charge of officer Riley, went back
' to the scene of the tragedy, and there Mr. Van
' Doren wa found lying dead on the floor, his
; head being on the first step of a flight of stairs
! and Lis loot under the hatchway. The blood
was gushing fioni the ghastly wound in his
; breast, and there were indications on the floor
lof astruggl' having taken place. On the floor
i near the deceased, was found a five-barreled <
j pistol with two barrels di charged. The pris-:
j oner adtuiUi 1 thai the revolver belonged to him. ,
I As to what the prisoner said in explanation !
j immediately after his arrest, the accounts are j
somewhat conflicting. It is alleged that he
told <>ng man that he had an altercation with
! Mr. Van Doren, who committed a violent as
! saulton l.im, whereupon lie discharged the j is
j tol in solf-tl "fence. In answer to questions pro
-1 pounded by others .Mr. Oram denied all knowl
j edge of the bloody deed. The prisoner was j
I taken to the station house and locked up.

but did not get up his carpenters in time.
The train, with square timber and carpen

by the morning of the 29thNyour trains could
run down on the road and fall in with ours on

lap,en with crushing weight on her beloved husband,
j and especially on her devoted, now desolate parents,

: was her exit from the stage of life, it we regard
her many virtues which fitred her foi heaven, whith

Notwithstanding her delicat " health and her cares
for her increasing family, she was scrupulously care

' She was conspicuous for her piety, and exemplary

The (i Grovesteen Piano Fortesreceived the

Where were exhibited instruments from the best
makers of London, Patis, Germany, Philadelphia,

American Institute for five successive years, tho
gold and silver medals from both of which can be
seen at our ware-room.
By the introduction of improvements we make a
atill more perfect Piano Forte, and by manufactur

Dr. T. ALLCOCR.— Dear Sir: Seventeen years ago
1 was sorely injuied in my back. At length 1 was
induced to use your plasters. 1 wore one constant
ly for six months, and did more hard woik during
that six months than in the preceding fifteen years.
I have not worn a plaster for over eighteen months
and have had no return of the gnawing pain and
weakness in my back, but have been entirely well.

A FEW REASONS WHY THE
Ml ERIC IN WITCH
IS THE BEST.
It is made on the best principle, while the foreign '
watch is generally made on no principle at ail. The
foreign watch is mostly made by women and boys, j
HY HAND. While their labor is cheap, their work j
is dear at any price. Such watches are made with- j
out plan, and sold without guarantee. They are ir-1
regular in construction, and quite as irregular in
movement. They are designed only lo sell, and
the buyer is the party most thoroughly sold. Those
who have kept "ancres," "lepines," and "Swis3
levers" in professed repair for a few years will ap
preciate the truth of our statement.
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead ol being made of several hundred iittle .
pieces, screwed together, the body of the American j
Watch is foimed of SOLID PLATES. No jar in- j
terferes with the batmony of its working, and no'
sudden shock can thiow its machinery out of gear.
In riding or any business pursuit, if is all held to
gether as firmly as a single piece of metal. It is !
just what all machinery should be—
-Ist. ACCURATE. 2d. SIMPLE. 3d, STRONG.!
4th. ECONOMICAL.
We not only secure CHEAPNESS by our system, '
but QUALITY. We do not pretend that our Watch '
can be bought lor less money than the foreign make
believes, but that for its leal value it is sold for one
half the price.
OUR SOLDILR'S W ATCH (named Wm. Eilery) ;
is what its name indicates—Solid, Substantial, and
always Reliable—warrvnteit to stand any amount of 1
Marching, Riding or Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH
(named P. S. Bartlett) is -iniilvi in size and genera!
appearance, but ha? more jewels, and a more slab- '
orate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought out, 1
is put up in a great variety of patterns, many of j
them of rare beauty and workmanship, is quite i
small, but warranted to KEEP TIME.
THE PROOF of the merits of our Watch may be 1
found in the fact that we now employ over seven !
hundred workmen in our factoiies, and that we are ;
still unable to supply the constantly increasing de
mand.
OUR THREE-QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we have destri- i
bed. its fine chronometer balance is delicately ad- I
justed to correct the varittion caused by changes of :
temperature. These watches are the fruits of the :
latest experiments in chronometry, and are macfe
by our best workmen, in a separate department of.
our fictory. Par the finest time-keeping qualities j
they challenge comparison with the best works of I
the most famous English and Swiss makers.
