Some lime daring the latter part of Sane
or the first of July lust, Thomas Munce,
” ,Id citizen n| Washington county, left
bntne, situated about three miles from
lLe town of Washington, Since which
time, until Wednesday last, he had not
been beard from, further than he bad
been seen in this city. He had with him
rt fine gold watch and about forty dollars
in money. It is probable that he went
directly to Philadelphia,jas his body was
found floating in the Schuylkill, at San
son street wharf, by the harbor police,
on the third of July. What he went
there for, or how he came to get into the
river, will probably never be known.
Be was considered by many as being an
eccentric man,’Sul-that.does not fully ex
press his mental condition. In his young
er days he was a fell, straight and power
fully built man. managed business welt,
and finally amassed a fortune of about
f 75, 000. At the time of his death he was
the owner of five hundred acres of as fine
{arming Und, perhaps, as is to be found
in Western Pennsylvania.. For some
canse or other he never married, but re
mained in charge of the homestead. The
■tact of his being wealthy was generally
known, and during the last year had been
availed by desperadoes no less than six
times, the last time, almost fatally.. A
desperate blow on the bead, about two
years since, so effected his reason that he
tad not been considered “right” since.
The villain who dealt it, nb doubt, meant
ibat it should be a fatal one.
He spent much of bis time among his
fr.eLd%and relatives, and for several days
Bjftcr bis disappearance no one seemed
? e ccerned as eaph one supposed he was
wr.l'ihe other. When it was discovered'
Lbt-i be bad gone dilligent search was
m&de for him with th« above result. On
ru' iving w|>rd from Philadelphia that a
man filling the description of bis brother*
J nn Munce proceeded at once to Phila
df pfaia where he identified the body as
bt nc that of him lor whom he had been
marching.
Tae strangest part of the story remains
to be told. The same day on which he
was found the Coroner was notified and
tue body removed from the river to the
M rgue, where an inquest was held, the
jury rendering a venTict of “found drown
ed ’ The only clue found by which to
to discover his identity was a letter ad
dressed to Thomas Munce, New Orleans.
This letter was retained by the Coroner,
and the police knew nothing of it, else
the affair might have been traced up
S'oner. They, however, learned of his
mysterious disappearance, and at once in
stituted search for bis body at the bury
ing ground, but strange to tell he was not
there, although his interment had been
reported to the authorities. They then
visited the dissecting departments of the
metrical college, and there found the body
“picfeled” and stored away to be hacked
up by the young “sa4v bones’’ at the lec
tures next winter. /
Search was also made for bis gold
vetch. and by keeping a close lopkoat at
the pawn brokers it was soon discovered,
baring been placed there by a man nam
ed Wm. McEweii, who was at the time of
his death the driver of the Coroner’s
vagnn. He had evidently taken it out
o{ his pocket while oh the way from the
river to the Morgue. This man McEwpn
seems to have by some adroit means elud-
ed the vigilance of the Superintendent
and made an extra five dollars by band-

A. Model Farmer,—la passing
through Ohio township, Beaver county, a.
few days since, we called upoo our genial
friend, Jordan 8. Neil. While enjoying
bis hospitalities, we learned from him
that daring the present season be has har
vested 175 tons of hay, harvested and
threshed about 2,400 bushels of grain;
cultivated 45 acres of corn and 11 acres
of potatoes; that he has been absent
from the form on an average five working
days out of the week, and had the super
vision of the entire work. This we re
gard as a pretty good showing for a Bea
ver county former.
Hr. Neil’s form is bn the north side of
the Ohio River, contains 600 acres, all the
fields are enclosed with neat and substan
tial post and rail fences, and is in a high
state of cultivation. Hr. Neil’s residence
Is a handsome one with all modern con •
venieoces consistent with a form house.
He has upon the farm six tenant bouses,
five frame barns, six wells (one of which
is 133 feet deep,) three cisterns of a capac
ity of 1,100 barrels, and be has conveyed
spring water, by pipe, near a mile through
bis form, consequently every field is sop*
plied with good pure water. Notwith
standing the fact Mr. Neil has been upon
the' farm but about ten years, he has
planted and now has 6,000 bearing apple
trees, 2,000 peach trees and 8,000 pear
trees, with a large number of trees bear
ing other varieties of frail. Oar atten
tion was not directed to his stock, but we
noticed ten Alderney cattle, eight borseS
and forty full Chester White hogs, &c.
Taking into consideration the size of
the farm, buildings, improvements and
state of cultivation, we think Mr. Neil’s
will rank first in Beaver county, but if
any of our farmers can beat this, let us
hear from them. -

e\fie; its Resources, Climate, Inhabitants, Natural
Curiosities, etc., toith Life and Adventure on'
Prairies, Moimtotou,andths Pacific Coast. By J
B. Beadle , Western Correspondent of the Cincin
nati Commercial, and Author of *Life in Utah,'*
etc. Published by the National Publishing Co., of
Philadelphia.
The most attractive, as well aa tbs most remark
able portion of onr country, la that which lies.
West of the Mississippi, it is attractive to the i
emigrant, because it is to that region that he;
looks for a home; to the student of nature, be
cause of the stupendous marvels of creation is
which it abounds; to the capitalist, because or
its wonderful capacity for producing wealth. It
is a land ot grandeur, beauty and romance.
Mr. Beadle spent live years in the Great West,
for the especial purpose of exploring the country.
Setting out on foot, he traversed the States of
lowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas, as
well as Dako',ab*and the Indian Territory ; visit
ing in person ail that was worth seeing; examin
ing the lands, living and conversing with the
people, and gaining for himself a fund of informs'
tion, based upon his own observations and die*
coveries, more extensive than one man in a million
can obtain.
Be explored the various routes of the Great
Pacific Railways, and spent months with the In
diant, both friendly and hostile, studying their
character and habits. He allowed no personal
peril to deter him from the execution of bis plan.
Thousands of lonely miles were traVersed by bim,
and be endured fatigue,' 1 hunger and many dangers
that he might make known the true character of
the land and people in which and among whom his
wanderings were made.
The book is full of information and facts of -the
greatest importance, such as could only be Ob
tained by going after them, as this indefatigable
cxplorosdid.
These new States and territories contain incom
parably the grandest scenery m the world, and
some of the richest resources of the American
Continent. Probably no other man has ever
Journeyed so extensive ly among them as Mr. Bea
dle—certainly no one so competent to describe
what he has seen.
All sorts of people figure in this work, for It is a
brilliant picture of life and manners in the Great
West. The hardy frontier farmer; the wary banter
and trapper; the reckless miner, the croel and de
graded savage; the bard working “Heathen Chi
nee;'’ the “much married” Mormon; the strange
remnants of the once powerful Aztec race—all
these figure with the naturalness of life in this
remarkable work. -
It is emphatically the greatest book of the day,
and cannot fail of attaining an immense circulation.
We heartily recommend it to oUr readers.
It is comprised in one large octavo volume of
823 pages, and illustrated with 340 fine engravings
of thescenery, lands, mines; people and cariosities
of tbe Great West, and a now map of the region
described.
Tbe book is sold by subscription only, and tbe

denominations also. .The meetings were
orderly and earnest. The 'singing was ex

meeting we cannot speak with confidence,
hat it Is probable that some sonlS have
been quickened and the religions interests
of tbe community increased. The ac
commodations for entertainment were
ample except on Sunday when the crowd
was very large. There was one feature
about the camp that is worthy of especial
praise, via: the excellent arrangement for
light. Mr. John Staley laid gas pipes
from a contiguous oil well over the gronod
and lighted the camp by meats of the gas

Camp Ground, near Geobok- i
town, Aug. 84, 1878. f
Editor Radical ; As ! aria seated at the
of a majestic oak, overlooking the
assembled worshipers, I condade tapen
cil you the result of my observation and
experience at camp meeting. I arrived
here in company with a friend yesterday
afternoon, found the encampment located
about two miles from Georgetown, near
Mill creek, on a steep bill side, scarcely
Accessible ;to vehicles. After viewing the
surroundings we repaired to a boarding
tent lor the purpose of refreshing the
physical man. The evening service was
conducted by Rev. Baker. The audience
was not large but patient, orderly and
well behaved. After service my Mend
and I engaged sleeping accommodations
at our boarding tent, and concluded we
would enj »y our cigars a While before re
tiring. About 18 o’clickwe applied at
the office of the chief clerk for some, one
to show ns to our sleeping apartments
that were previously engaged for the
night. After waltlnehalf an hour or
moire he proceeded with us to a pen In
which was a small qnanity' of straw, with
ts sleeping capacity already more than
nil. Onr bed clothing consisted of some
thing representing a comfort;'rather cool
comfort of about the weight of a pocket
handkerchief, without even a pillow or a
whereon to lay our heads. We as
sumed a reclining attitude, and were
amosed by a brisk experience meeting
and love feast that was being conducted
by some women and men. Shortly after
reaching our sleeping apartments
we were attacked by fleas that
were intent on being felt if nut
heard. The love feast seemed to increase
in animation until abont I o’clock Sab
bath morning, at which time it became
intolerable, and we withdrew, taking with
us onr portion of fleas, but leaving behind
the noise, and went in search of more
comfortable quarters. We soon reached an
other boarding tent that was at least
more orderly, where we succeeded in ap
propriating to ourselves width of our
backs under the canvass, where sleep at
last came to our and when Sab
bath’s son dawned upon ns we discovered
that our neighbors during the night in
cluded several nationalities, at least two
colors and two sexes. The Sabbath morn
ing service at 8 o’clock was well attended
and listened to with marked attention;
the congregation were all comfortably
seated and the encampment at that hour
was delightful; later in the day the en
campment was crowded with people and
the forest and neighborhood with vehi
cles and horses. My friend and I are now
about to turn our backs on the en
campment in search of more quiet and
comfortable quarters, concluding' that
camp meeting may bo a good place
for some, bat that it is not adapted to the
worshipping of God for two unsophisti
cated youths of pious turn of mind. We
notice some Beaver Folks here, bat they
are not participating in religions service

Tbe Wear and Tear of Life
The cares, anxieties and misfortunes of life have
a much to do with shortening it as disease . They
are in fact the source of mmy ailments and physi
cal disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia,
affections of the liver, disturbances of the bowels,
headache, hypochondria and monomania are
among these distressing fruits. It is, therefore
of great importance that persons whose minds are
oppressed with heavy responsibilities or harrasaed
by family troubles, or excited by speculation, or
perplexed by a multiplicity of enterprises, or in
any way over taxed or overworked, (should keep
their stamina by the dally use of a wholesome ton*
ic. Thousands of persons thus circumstanced are
enabled to bear up against the difficulties in wbich
they are involved, and to retain thalr strength,
health and mental clearness by the regular use of
Uostetter's Stomach Bitters. Diseases wbich ate
prone to attack the body when debllitated and
broken down by over-mach brain work, or ex
hausting physical labor, are kept at bay by the re
sistant power with which this incomparable tonic
endows the nervons system and the vital {organs.
At this season, when the heat is evaporating the
elements of strength from every pore, en invigor
ant is absolutely essentiatto the safety and com
fort of the public, and is required even by the
more robust if they desire to keep their athletic
capabilities in status quo. Hence a course of Hos
tetler's Bitten is particularly useful at this|period
of the year as a defence against the invisible dis
ease afloat Ina sultry atmosphere. It is the most
potent of all preventive medicines,! and for all
complaints which affect the stomach, the liver and
the bowels, and interfere with the perfect diges
tion and asaimllatioiOjf food, it is the standard
remedy.
