The Baggage Smasher Once
More.—We gather from our exchanges
:hat the potato bug has begun its annu
al operations; that flies are going to be
a greater pest than ever; that the season
is to be an extraordinary one for the de
velopment of the mosquito; and that
grasshoppers are eating everything up
in the west. Plans innumerable are
suggested for the extermination of these
pests, but none as yet seems to have
f,,und iavor. . These things must be ex
pected to come in with the summer sea
,on, which would lose ball' of its interest
without them. Another pest has also
wade its seasonable appearance, simul
taneously with the higera to the water
ing places, and that is the baggage
'masher against whose depredations a
wail of agony is going up from one end
of the country to the other. This mon
ster has developed into a creature of ex
traordinary destructiveness and defies
extirpation. We read of one whose
haunt is between Philadelphia and Cape
May, who, it is claimed, can take a Sar
atoga trunk by the handle and pull the
entire side out without a seeming effort,
and go about his business as though he
v‘ ere not the least bit proud of his
achievement.. Unfortunately for him,
the owner of the trunk was seized with
a frenzied ambition to pull this baggage
% masher's ears off, and had nearly suc
ceeded when he was interrupted. We
are very sorry he was not permittedto
continue, as he might thereby have dis
e4,‘ ered the long desired remedy against
the further encroachments of this.untlr

Shocking linitille.--The Most
Prominent Business Mu of Bea
ver County Shoits
Wednesday, 241 Inst., about 8 (Mock,
this county was considerably startled
by the announcement of the suicide of
Mr. William Kennedy, the most prom
inent business man of New. Jtrighton,
who shot himself in the forehead with a
pistol, and died within fifteen minutes
of the fatal shooting. A few weeks ago,
as It will be remembered, be_ told the
story, he had gone to %Beaver. Creek to
look at some property he had there.
He had been sitting on the timbers of
tbe.yailroad bridgala short time when a
feeling of dizziness came over him, and
to prevent falling into the stream, he
jumped, and accidentally fell and frac
tured his leg, thereby saving his life in
stead of going down into the bed of the
stream.
Since early spring be has been severe
ly afflicted with inflammatory rheuma
tism. By reason of this -combination of
afflictions he has not been able to attend
to his very extensive business, although
his physicians reported he was recover
ing from his injuries. About, three
weeks preitious to his death be borrow
ed a pistol from his brother-in-law,
Frank Hoopes, jr., on the pretext that
he wished to guard his premises from
burglars. On the morning mentioned
during the temporary absence of his
wife, about 8 o'clock, a pistol shot was
heard emanating from his residence,
and the immediate neighbors of the de
ceased rushed into the house and found
Mr. K. supported by an easy chair, hol
ding a pistol in his hand and with a bul
let hole in the centre of his forehead.
Before medical assistance could be ren
dered be was dead.
Mr. Kennedy was, up to the time of
his death, the moat extensive business
man of Beaver county, dealing in ',ev
erything, and having business traniac
tions with everybody. It was said of
him he could sell a man anything he
might want, no matter how great or
small. He dealt in all kinds of mer
chandise and bought and sold coal,
wool, real estate and everything else
that anybody wanted to buy or sell.
His business thus came to be wide
spread and extensive, and his books
were in a confused condition. It is said
•neitber he nor his book keeper could
tall how he stood with the World, but
.
lsq-4w
_leq-4w
it is believed his assets are in excess of
his liabilities. He had several farms in
different parts of the county, and mort
gages on the lands of others. He trust
ed everybody who Couldn't get credit
from anybody else, and now at last ho
became embarrassed, and as it would ap
pear, hopelessly confused about what ho
did owe, and his ready resources, and
blowed his brains ont—ln a moment of
insanity no doubt—brought on by busi
ness complications. It is rumored that
he had an imperative call for $15,000 on
the evening previous to his death, and
$40,000 more during the week; and that
despairing of raising the funds he com
mitted the awful error of shirking the
responsibility by taking his life. It is
also believed that he was subject to fits
of insanity.
Mr. Kennedy was insured as follows:
Mutual Benefit $10,000; New England
Mutual $15,000; Phcenix Mutual; of
Hartford, $5,000; Travelers' Life Acci
dent $10,000; Continental, of Hartford,
$5.000.
-11 l tw
The following gentlemen constituted
the Jury which was impanneled in the
morning, at which time the testimony
of Mrs. Kennedy, the wife of the de
ceased, was taken, which the above is a
character confirming the facts: Messrs.
S. A. McGowan. James Wilson, Joseph
Alexander, Philip Martsolf, T. 0; Wad
dle and Joseph Bentley.
Agreeable to adjournment the Coro
ner's Jury met.
Messrs. Champlin, Hoops, Barker,
Meyer and Dr. McKinney, were stvorn
and gave inl their testimony. The fol
lowing is the greater portion of Dr. Mc-
Kinney's testimony:
He says, I was called about 8 a. m. to
see him, the deceased, and found him
sitting in an easy chair with pistol in
hand, a ballet hole in the centre of ilia
forehead. He was dead when larrived.-
Made superficial examination; the ball
entered the skull—have no doubt but
that tie wound was affected by his own
hand, and was the cause of his death. I
was called to see him the day he fell off
the bridge: found be had a broken leg,
and concussion of the brain; his pulse
was low, skin cold and all evidences of
a severe shock to the brain. He rallied
however, and his condition improved
for three days, after which I began to
observe his mind wandering. I would
ask a questiou-and he would answer on
ly partially intelligently, and then drop
off apparently asleep for some five sec
onds and then commence to talk about
something else. The only subject he
would converse about rationally was
business subjects; I could not get him
asleep for several nights, whilst in this
mental condition. His tongue became
dry and coated; bowels inactive, all
symptoms that Indicated subacute brain
disease. Became alarmed at his condi
tion and prohibited any and all business
transactions. I would have to say that
he was of unsound mind. • • • • •
During this condition of the patient, I
would not be surprised if he bad taken
his life at any moment. The doctor con
tinued giving a minute description of
his patient's condition while under his
professional care, and summed up his
whole testimony by saying that Mr. K.,
in his jUdgment, was partially insane at
the time he committed the deed which
ooat him his life.
the Jury after hearing the testimony
adjourned and met in the same place,
Thursday morning, and rendered their
verdict, which is as follows:
"That the paid Will Kennedy mac to his
death on the 2+:l day of July A. 1). 1873 at about
7:45 a. in., in his own•re•ldence, in borough of
New Brighton, county of Beaver. by a pistol shot
in his forehead by his own hand, while In • state
of temporary funnily."
The decease was forty-eight years of
age, and leaves a wife and three chil
dren. His widow is id such a delicate
condition that fears are entertained for
her life, as she is frantic with grief at
the affliction which thus falls upon her
at a time when, of all others, it bears
more heavily. The death of Mr. Ken
nedy is deplored by hundreds of friends
who knew and respected him. His fa-
mere' took place at his late residence off
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, which
was well attended,.
If ever you chance, gentle reader, to
awake about four o'clock In the morn
ing, you will hear such a concert as the
feathered warblers vouchsafe to mortals
at no other time of day. Every bird is
out, pouring his best and loudest song.
The air and earth are still, and the sweet
cadences rise and swell in pleasing har
mony. Now coulee a bit of silence, and
then follows & chirping chatter, as if the
whole winged creation were in full con
sultation in regard to the programme
for the day just opening. It is worth
while to wake early, if it bo only to lis
ten to our sweet songsters.

Tie. West
Mu. Enrrion:—PaTielf_ recently re
turned - film the dtrection of the setting
sun, I am hidneed... to tranindt ' some . •
thing of my observation on paper for
any of your numerous readers who may
be interested In bearing from - the; -west.
To those going to lowa, I would un
hesitatingly recommend them to go—if
posaible—by the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy road, and thence by roads
diverging in different direptiov west
ward from Burlingtcm. ;
The Burlington Cedar Rapids and
Minnesota route runs through the most
thickly settled , part of the noble State of
lowa, where are to be seen on every
hand cultivated farms and all the evi
dence of comfort itself and prosperity.
The country between Chicago .and
Burlington, in Illinois, where we have
magnitioent levels of green ocean and
finely improved lands, and complete in
every devise to utilize laboryto prepare
and bring of the cereals and products
generally. A market is readily found
in the promising embryo cities along
this line.
Intelligence, church and school influ
ence here, are second to none In the
world. However, this is no more pecu
liar to Illinois than lowa, and when the
latter State is more filled up we shall see
her eclipse all her sister States in this
respect; for in either State you never
see even a hamlet without its churches
and school building,whilat it seems that
in the country t here are excellent schools
every mile. Does not this prognosticate
greatly for the future of the West? We,
in this too much settled country, seem
to have but a faint conception of the
thrift and plenty that crowns the labors
of our western friends, and whose only
trials are that they cannot make money
fast enough—be always the possessors
of large flocks of cattle, swine, etc., and
who are not content to go slow in thus
accumulating when fairly started for
tune is assured therein stock raising.
The cultivated lands along the C. B. &
Q. R. R and Illinois Central Railroads,
are held at such high figures, that in
most. cases the emigrant Is unable to buy,
but needs to push on further west to
purchase lands cheap and make his own
improvements, which may be constitu
ted cheaply and will answer for tempo
rary use, so that when he begins to
raise crops he can pay on his land, keep
his family, and by degrees make his per
manent improvements. To those desir
ing such the Burlington and Missouri
River Railroad, offers the most unparal
leled inducements, and selling to the
settler at fair price and on terms that en
ables the man not afraid to work and
who has any enterprise whatever, to
pay for his home from the products of
the farm. These lands aro both fertile
and in a salubrious climate, and in the
best part of the State. The latitude is
south Is this some degrees, and between
the main markets, viz : on the Missouri
on the west and the Mississiffi on the
east, although intermediate markets are
always to be found.
A farm capable of producing the larg
est crops its iu the reach of all on the
terms offered by this road. To those
preferring Nebraska, this road has equal
inducements and good soil and beauti
ful crops on it all.
Geo, S. Harris, esq., is the land com
missioner at Burlington, lowa, who
may be addressed for valuable informa
tion on the subject, and who will be.
pleased to answer all inquiries in the
premises. M.

Beaver County Temperance
Unton.—The Officers and Board of
Managers of the Beaver county Tem
perance Union, at a meeting hold in Bea
ver Falls, July Ist, decidad that the
facts necessitated the calling of
a meeting of the county society
for the purpose of advising together as
to the beat and wisest course to be pur
sued whereby evil disposed persons who
persist in doing violence to the will of
a large majority of the good citizens of
this county as exppressed at the ballot
box last spring on the question of pro
hibition, may be brought to justice. The
fact is apparent to all that many of the
grog shops continue to sell as heretofore,
and that, various parties both in this
land from adjoining counties sell and
hank about our streets both malt and
distilled liquors and agents of dealers
frogs the cities frequently visit our citi
zens to solicit and receive their orders
for liquors, clearly in violation of both
law and good order.
The"UniOn" will meet at the M. E.
Church in Rochester on Tuesday, July
nil 1873, at 10 oclock a. m. We invite
all friends and lovers of right and their
fellow man to meet with us, for now is
the time to strike and save the cause of
Prohibition from being trampled upon
by these law defying beings who would
rob us of all that is dear to us, and give
us instead all the miseries and sorrows
known to man. Pastors of the christian
church are requested to present this to
their charges and urge their attention,
that we may have a full turn out of the
temperance strength and adopt such
measures and plans as may best secure
the end we all seek. Prohibition of the
liquor traffic.

Short Sermons.—Now that the hot
weather months are upon us, the clergy
aro advised to shorten their sermons.
One of the most trying things on a hot
day is a long sermon, and many a poor
soul is driven from the church by the
infliction of a discourse that forever
makes him averse to the balance of the
service, which otherwise would be ac
ceptable and pleasant to him. Two of
the best sermons ever delivered proba
bly did not occupy over ten minutes
each. We allude to Christ's sermon on
the Mount. and Psul'a diagonals on
May -HU Let the preacher boiPlown
his sermon instead of boiling his audi
ence.
We see it noted that a cat at West
port Conn., which had her tail and ears
frozen off last wint4 has given birth
to a litter of earlea d tailless kittens.
Thus we see what might be the origin of
a new species, and a link in the devel
opment theory illustrated. For our
part, we do not think it any improve
ment on the old style of cats. •

"Commencements" in the rural dis
tricts are said to be pleasant always; or
rather in the language of an enthusiast
Of the gentler type they are :proVeiblal
for being 'just perfectly elegant." It
was an assurance of this character that
induced an adventurous scribe, with a
friend, to Journey Beaver-wards on
Tuesday to take a band bathe "elegance"
of the exercises that liiirtabietHie.gatting
the ettentiOn of the toeneepeople for the
past week, acid which hive been inci
dental to the closing of the eighteenth
year in the history of Beaver College
and Institute. Te the tarain the pecu
liar felicity of the warden at the out
start was doubly enhanced by the refu
sal of the courteous conductor to stop
the train at the proper station. Two
"country miles" away from the destina
tion In view, with about half a dry
goods box of dowers on band and the
only outlook ahead, that of being trans
formed into pack horses for the trans
portation of the fragrancy, over a dnity
road and under a smiling and ; very ar
dent July sun—such a combination of
fortuitions circumstances is very con
ductive to meditation, and the meta
physics of profanity are likely to be sin
gularly attractive. Time. however, and
necessity, and a reasonable amount of
vitality will generally bring all such
matters even.—as was the reknit In this'
case,—and thus it came that the twain
stslast scaled the heights of Beaver, in
season to have a couple of hours ahead
of them, to bind up ,their wounds of
body and mind, to recover partially
from the parboiling suffered in their
perambulations, and to restore a mental
serenity in consonance of the happy
spirit that seemed to everywhere pre
vail.
Under ordinary circumstances it
would be unpleasant for one to hear that
his coming had been "rether . ,late," but
there are times, 'and this was ode; when
the intelligence that a part of the "feast
of reason" was over came as a soothing
balm, for it brought the end nearer. It
seemed that the College people, not sat
isfied with providing a "Young Folks'
Entertainment," and "Class Exercises,"
and an "Alumni Reunion," and an "An
nual Concert," with other minor exhibi
tions, bad reserved for the 'last day. as
Barnum says, two " crowning triumphs
of their managerial lives." One of these
was the Rail dedication—the other the
Commencement proper.
TIIE NEW COLLEGE HALL,
the dedication of which was set apart for
Tuesday morning, was looked upon
with more than ordinary interest, inas
much as it marked a new epoch in the
college's history, and seemed to giveev-
Idonce of greater future prosperity.
During the past year or so, the artisans
have been busy at the college, and the
result of their labors is a four-storied
brick addition to the old building, which
has increased the capacity of the school
so that eighty additional pupils can be
accommodated the next term. The ad-
dition cost $30,000, one-third of which
was contributed by one of our business
men, Capt. John F. Dravo. end the re
mainder secured principally through
the example of his munificence and his
personal effort. The structure now
presents a sort of modernized Norman
architectural appearance, and is about
as handsome and imposing as can be de
sired In a college building.
The hall is located in an upper story
of the new wing. It is not large,Aint is
well lighted and ventilated, and fur
nished with memorial windows, fres
coes, and in a style to make it very at
tractive. Its dedication, served as a re
dedication of the whole building to edu
cational purposes. The dedication hour
was fixed at ten o'clock. Those who
were there concur in the opinion that
the audience in attendance might have
been larger, but the exercises hardly
more interesting. The speakers an
nounced for the occasion were Rev.
Bishop Simpson, Rev. Dr. E. 0. Haven,
Chief of the Educational Board of the
Church, and Capt. John F. Bravo. The
first _ and bud gentlemen appeared in
time, but of course It would never do to
have the programme carried out to the
letter, and an Dr. Haven failed to make
the haven of Beaver,-and it wainecessa
ry to proceed without him. In doing
so, the choir first filled up the time mu
sically with three anthems, Which were
succeeded with prayer by LIM Rev. Dr.
Hunter, of the Pittsburgh drisiias A (I
vocafe.
THE //AM DEDICATED
Then came forward Mr. Dravo with
ono of his impromptu characteristic ad
dresses, in which be bad a good deal to
say complimentary of "Beaver City"
and not much less of Beaver College,
and something of the importance of fe
male education, and lastly of the plea
sure it gave him to hand the institution
over to the Bishop for dedication. This
gave the Bishop an opportunity to :first
lead the people in a brief dedicatory ex
ercise *wording to a formula of his own,
and then to addreis them for about an
hour on the uses to which the building
was to be deiroted. The Bishop spoke
of female education in general and gave
the pupils some wise counsel in refer
ence to the beet means of taking advan
tage of their opportunities, so as to ac

the occasion
There were at last several indications
that the Commencement exercises prop
er were near at hand. First by the gen
eral rustle within the sacred precincts of
the college walls, like the twittering of
birds when excitement inspires them;
and second by the appearance of some
life and animation in the streets of the
beautiful town—for it is one of the lov

GATHERING FOR "COHRENCERENT."
"Time and tide," it is an old saying,
"wait for no man;" but not so much
could be said of the young performers,
for they were compelled to wait for the
men and women and children to gather.
Professor Taylor, who has charge of the
College, was quite emphatic in his in
nouncement that at six and one-half
o'clock sharp, the exercises must begin.
Several misguided visitors gathered at
the exact time and had the happiness of
noting the movements of a frailty jani
tor and calculating the chances for his
falling from his ladder and furnishing
a subject for the Coroner, while turning
on the oil lamp lights. Ho preserved

delivered an address to the chum, which
was chiefly characteristic for its brevity
and earnestness. Each member was
presented with a diploma. It was an

The exercises were then concluded with
a Piano solo, "Fantasia on Oberon," by
Miss Mamie Holmes.
A WORD OF COMMENDATION
As to the general character of the per
formances it is but the truth to say that
they were much above the average. If
Brother Clark, of the Recorder had been
there, certainly be would have been
gratified at the absence of "toploptical
abstractions" and the presence of vigo
rous common sense and practicality
which was apparent, more otiose, in ev
ery essay. If it was not bordering on

say that Nos. 5& B seemed to find the
heartiest appreciation from the audience.

rain and thunder - storms of the latter
part of June and the 'early part of July,
thelightning has played many fantastic
tricks In our neighboring counties.
The lightning, however, has not yet ren
dered any damage in this county, but
the severe rains have made the roads
very Inconvenient for pedestrians, es
pecially the narrows leading from Fall
sten to Bayer Fells. The hill at two
or three different points has slid down
in such large quantities that It is almost
unable to be traveled upon at present.
Tne other day, while in Beaver Falls,
we wade Its point to come by way of
the narrows, and In so doing almost

our enterprising friends at Pension are
DOW busily engaged in removing the
obstruction. Below we give for the ben
efit of our readers a short quer** of
the damage rendered by lightning in
our neighboring counties:
Mr. Wm. McClain, residing near the
alma house, had thirty five sheep killed
in a pasture field. In the neighbor
hood of Maysville it strap!" eral
places bat did no harm. Monun

new house, following the conductor
down • a short distance, bored its way
through a brick wall. tore the head of a
nail off inside and drove it through a led
pipe—letting the water out of a bath tank
-and following the lead pipe to the cel
lar where a colored man was engaged ar
ranging the pipe, there shook bands
with him and ran down his leg into the
ground. The damages did not amount
to much. Mr. James D. Huston, meld-
Ing at, Lone Pine, had his dwelling
struck, the fluid passing down the chim
ney albs cooking stove, Mrs. Huston,
who was cooking at the time, was badly
shocked. At first it was feared she ,
would not recover. She is st present out
of danger. At the same time and place
Mr. Cephas Chamberlin's dwelling had
the shingles torn off the roof, add Mr.
Geo. Chamberlin, who was working in
the garden was severely shocked by the
same bolt. About the same time the
lone phis tree that gives name to the vil
lage was somewhat shattered. Several
young gentlemen while sitting opposite
some shade trees in the borough of
Washington were severely stunned.

The Fourth at North Sewick
ley.—The 4th of July was observed in a
good, old-fashioned way by the Sunday
School of the Providence Baptist Church.
The Presbyterian Sunday School, having
been invited to participate in the festivi
ties of the occasion, united most heartily
in the enjoyments of the day. There was
a very large concourse of people present
from the surrounding country, as well as
from the towns. Many of the young
folks from town found themselves at
home among their "country cousins."
Old and young %lake enjoyed the services
In the church and the festivities in the
grove. Nothing occurred to mar the
peace of the large company present.
The singers of the church, led by Mr
James J. Hazen, (Miss Addic 31. Bennet
presiding at the organ,) and a band of
music belonging in the neighb3rhood.
enlivened the occasion with excellent and
appropriate music.
Mr. Thos. J. Irwin was chosen Presi
dent, Messrs. Hugh Thompson, James
Mercer, Theophilus Fombelle, Jacob
Wooster, Robt. Wilson and James Boots,
Vice Presidents; and Dr. J. M. Hazer. and
31. F. Mecklan, Secretaries.
An address of welcome to the Presby.
terian School was delivered by the Pastor
of the church, Rev. W. B. Skinner. Ap
propriate and excellent addresses were
also delivered by the young and talented
gentlemen of the neighborhood, Messrs,
Bend erson Jackson and Christopher
Hay en.
After this, the large company repaired
t o the grove, where en excellent and
abundant dinner was prepared under the
direction of well-chosen and efficient com
mittees.
After a delightful afternoon of social
enjoyment in the grove, the company sep.
&rated, feeling happy in the privilege of
uniting in such cheerful and agreeable
society.
Though the Presbyterian Church is
weak and without a Pastor, the Sunday
School interests are not neglected. With
the earnest cooperation of zealous work
ers not in connection with the church, a
school is sustained, and in good working
order. The school of the Baptist Church
numbers two hundred scholars. The
Pastor is Superintendent, and is ably as
sisted by Mr. Nathaniel Hazen.
The Rev. Mr. Skinner has been with
the church, la Pastor, nine months, dur
ing - which time forty have been added
to its membership, and the congregation
has increased in size until the need of a
larger house of worship is felt, - and the
church now contemplates enlarging the
present building, to meet the wants of

A Light Fingered Gentry Ar
rested.—On Friday last, while Bar
num's circus was in Rochester, quite a
number of our citizens of this county
had their pockets Tided. Among the
numerous ones was a lady named
Robinson of Freedom, who had
her pocket book containing two aye dol
lar gold coins and two checks—oue for
one hundred dollars and the other
for forty dollars—stolen by Willie Oyler,
formerly of Bridgewater, but new the
leader of a gang of professional thieves
of Allegheny City, who had his leg cut
off on Sunday about seven years ago at
the glass house in the former place,
Detective McLaughlin of Barnum's . cir
cus caught him in the act of stealing
Mrs. Robinson's pocket book in the cir
cus, arresting him, the detective took
him to the Justice's o flice,w here the lady
described the contents of her pocket
book which were found to be similar to
hose of the one Oyler had stolen. He
was placed_ in the lock-up at that place,
and on Saturday morning 'constable
Miller brought him here and lodged
him In the jail, and it was agreed to let
him stand a trial. But his spirit panted
for freedom, and in about two hours
after he was in jail through the influence
of some of his gang a ladder —he.does not
state what kind—was arranged and be
dumb over the wail, stole silently away
and crossed the river at Phillipsburg.
Immediately after Sheriff White missed
his prisoner he started on pursuit of him,
and finding that he could not overtake
him, crossed the river at Freedom and
telegraphed to Allegheny city that a re
ward of twenty dollars was offered
for his recapture. Oyler subse
quently recrossed the river in the
vicinity of Sewickley and got
into a freight car for Pittsburgh.
OM car David Jones, of Mayor Callow's
force, suspecting that Oyler was on the
freight train kept an eye on the cars as
t hey passed Federal street, and finally
spied a crutch protruding from the door
ofone otthem. He then got the brake
man to flag the train and pushed the
door shut. Alter which he demanded
an unconditional. surrender from Oyler.
William bellowed like a bull calf (or a
few minutes, but finding no echo in the
judicial heart of his captor he changed It
for an air of bravado, which be has
since maintained.
Monday morthng Sheriff White re
ceived a telegram e a ting that-Oyler had
been captured. Soon after the Sheriff
was seen pursuing his course toward the
jail with his prisoner in charge. where
he Intends boarding him until he re
calves justice from the court of this coun
ty. There is said to be a clear case
against him In Allegheny if the one here
falls.
