F. A. SHOEMAKER, Chniiinan.
Ebeueburg-, July 11, 1S70.
It afiords us pleasure to state, as we have
no doubt it will our readers to learn, that the
able end eloquent Daniel Yoorhtcs boa been
renominated aa the Democratic candidate for
Congress from th Terre Ilaute district of
Indiana. He baa a bard road to travel, but
u Le has ou e before "made Lis calling and
elcctioQ sure' in the same district, we think
it reasonably certain that he will do so again.
At leaat, he deserves success.
O yesterday the Democntic Congress
ional Coherence from Fayette, Westmore
land and Indiana countiea, met ut the lion-i-cgabela
House, in Pittsburgh, and unani
mously nominated Henry D Foster for Con
gress. We truat that John Corode will so
succeed in fixing things with the Radical
conferees of the same district us to euchre all
the other Republican aspirants and secure
the nomination for himself. Iu that event,
far as his certain defeat cau be anticipa
ted, he will be "the right man in the right
placo."
It is now said that Grant, notwithstand
ing the final rejececiion of his pet scheme,
the San Domingo job, will attempt, probably
not at this session, but during the next, t
jrach the same result, by a joint resolution
f Congress. Although Den Butler has made
n-veral abortive attempts in this direction
during the present session, it is confidently
jmserted, by those who are opposed to this
Presidential swindle, that the project, wheth
er attempted at th'u. or the uext session, is
Hire t meet with the snme merited fate as
the lately rejected treaty.
In its highfa'utin laudation of Major Gen
eral (?) James Potts, the Johnstown Tribune
of the 1st inst.,'in speaking of the question
of the removal of the County seat, makes use
of the following in fain "ui4 launuage :
"No other Issue Is before the people none
will be. Ebt'iiKl.unr to a man will vole to con
tinue, to live ron the remainder of the county.
L.tt tut be tyrta ily detninintd that when support
pxiujurs it etuxLl vuly be in the poor houec."
Whether or not there will be uy other
hi!u:" than the removal farce before the
people of Cambria county at the next Octo
ber election, it is too Boon yet to determine.
"Sufficient onto the day is the evil thereof."
Iu r-ply to the concluding portiou of the
libove paragraph, which we italicize, we will
predict that the writer of it, whoever be
may be. if he cultivates his scoundrelly pro
pensities and has ordinary luck in working
out his manifest destiny, and is permitted to
live two years longer, will End himself to be
the worthy tenant of a cell in the "Peni
tentiary" or "ftudal castle" that is now be
ing"erecUd iu this "obsolete village" of Eb
ensburg. If ho docs not, then Shakspeare
was clearly mistaken when he said,
'There's a divinity that shape our cnf.,
Rough hew them as we may."
We have only answered "a fool according
to his folly."
Two More Heads Oft.
On yesterday week, in the House, the con
tested seat in the third Louisiana district
was considered. The vote for Bailey, Dem
ocrat, was 17,524. and for Darrel, Radical,
8,693 showing Bailey's majority to have
beeu 8,031. It is quite" unnecessary for us
to say that Darrel teas awarded his seal by
tho usual Radical vote, as in 3uch cases
made and provided, and that Daniel J. Mor
rell, as in duty bound, stood up to the work
like a true Radical and voted to admit Dar
rell. On the very next day, the celebrated
case from Missouri, of Switz'er, Democrat,
against Dyer, Radical, the sitting member,
was called up. The report of the majority
of tho committee on elections declared Switz
ler elected by 559 votes. Notwithstanding
this decision by a committee composed of a
majority of Radicals, partizanship triumphed
as usual and Dyer was given his seat by a
etrict party voto of 108 to 55. It is about
aa easy for a camol tu pass through the eye
of a needle as it I for a Democrat who has
been fairly and honestly elected to Congress
to get bis seat, when a Radical is determined
to usurp it. But "there is a good time
coming," and the day is uot far distant
when justice will assert her admitted rights.
Judge Illack'g Letter.
We need offer no apology for devoting so
much of our ppace this week to the publica
tion of the celebrated letter of lion. Jeremiah
S. Black to Hon, Henry Wilson, a Radical
United States Senator from Massachusetts
To those of our readers who have not yet
percaed this able and rigorous production
from the caustic pen of Judge Black, we
know of nothing in the shape of political
literature tfeat could be so interesting, re
freshing and conclusive. We have ouce be
fore referred to this remarkable letter, and
dow submit It to our readers for their unbi
assed and intelligent judgment.
We have read and re-rcad the letters of
"Junius" which attracted so much atten
tiouand elicited 60 much admiration in Eng
land towards the close of the last century,
(the name of the author of which is lo day
as profound a secret as it was then.) and as
a Bpecimen of pure, forcible, horue-spun
Saxon, which cub .with the certainty and
terrible precision of a true Damascus blade,
we have never yet read anything that ap
proaches tbe sharp, keeD and incisive style
of "Junius' to nearly as this masterly pro
jection of "Jerry" Black. If Wilsoo snr
ire It, be is tnadcf ery d'ffereut material
tban that out of which ordinary mortals are
created.
Decided Agxslnftt the Country.
A verdict against the people is the virtual
meaning of the midnight vote of Tuesday's
session, by which the Income Tax was perpet
uated until the year 1K72 It appears that
this great wroue" might have been avoided if
' it bad not been for the absence from his teat,
at the most important moment in ths history
oi trie i ax bi 1. ot tne venerauie ub-iui-pu't-hed
Ser ot Lochiel, Senator Cameron.
Why he!ese:ted ihe cause he had faithfully
served up lo tLe hour ol its final issue, is not
clear, though an xplauatioii may possibly be
foui d therefor in the concluding line of our
Washington special despatched of Tuesday
uight. It reads as follows :
TQK TAX 05 GR 8S EECE'PT? IS ABOLISHED "
'1 he contest in the yeuate finally turned on
the qi.ettien whether a tew laige corporate
bodies should be compelled to pay a fair and
impartial lax on their gross receipt?, or wheth
er ihcy should be relieved from such-paj oient
bv the routit, nance ot ihe tax on incomes. The
laiirond lobby never worked more energetical
ly nor more successfully ; the gross receipts ore
untaxed. Every selfish interest in the coun
try arrayed itself in the Senate to defeat the
almost uiiircisal protest of the pcop'e against
the iniquitous Income levy. The President,
regaadiug the claims of the hordes of asset-sors
and collectors who had labored in his behalf,
recommended in his lute message that the tax
be continued ; the assessors aiid collectors
themselves besieged Congress in theii own be
half; and, finally, the tailroad corp-rations
sent their lobbyists to ir.alst on the abolition of
the grofs tecclpia tax. It is believed that the
patriotic Seer of Lochivl is more largely in
terested in the gross receipts of at least one
railroad, than a; y other person sitting in the
Senate. On internes. Lis payments have never
been ex'ravagact ; o:i gross receipts, however,
he has been a pecuniary sufferer.
It may be suggested that the Great Chief of
Winnebago, who never deserts a friend or a
principle, did not kuow that a final vote would
be taken, on Tuesday night, cn the continu
auce of the Income Tax ; but in contradiction
of such a theory appears the Seer of Lochiel's
well known powers of second sight, by which
he is enabled to see as far into the future as
men of less gifted minds see into the past, II a
it was, who prophecied, at the dawn of the He
hellion, that a .Negro would, before the Seces
sion question was entirely sett'ed, occupy Jef
ferson Davis seat in -the Senate. At le:ist he
said he did, and, in confirmation of it, is not
Senator Revels a Negro, and does he not oc
cupy Jefferson Davis' Senatorial place ?
Jf the Great Seer could foretell the rise and
progress of Revels ten yeais belore either oc
curred, could he not foresee tiiat in half an
hour his vote would be needed to pnvent the
iiilliction of the odious Income Tax upon the
country 1 To mrpose otherwise is to die-believe
in the theory of second sight, or to deny
the gift of foretelling events to Senator Cam
eron. He did know that bis vote would be needed;
und with this knowledge he deserted his rol-
Iciigues at the last hour, and by such d scrtinn,
the country must euCure for two years longer
the unjust and inquisitorial Income Tax The
responsibility rests upon Senator Cameron and
upon no one else.
The foregoing article is taken from the
Philadelphia li.quirer, good Republican au
thority.and what it says in reference to the
duplicity of Simon Cameron on the Income
tax bill, is all true, and is fully sustained by
the official record of the proceedings of the
Senate. It only proves that Cameron is a
trickster and a demagogue, which is nothing
new. We desire only to add. that wlile
many honest Republicans in the Senate voted
to repeal the odious and unjust income tax.
the Democratic members unanimously voted
to wiie it out of existence, and it has only
been retained by the overwhelming Radical
miij irity in the Scuate, which has since been
concurred in by the House. We will do our
member, Mr. M"rrel!, the simple justice to
say that he voted in favor of abolishing this
hateful tax. Sotne good, it would seem, can
come out of Nazareth.
GfcN Grant met with a perfect Waterloo
defeat in the Radical Senate of the United
States ou.tho lat day of June, and although
during his military career in suppressing the
rebelliou he aud men who were greater, but
not so conspicuous as himself, played a
prominent part in. subduing the civil war.
and although he was rewarded for his mili
tary services by an election to the highest
office in the gift of tho American people,
there are still somethings that he cannot do.
The shameful treaty for the annexation of
San Domingo was, on the d iv stated, defeat
ed, by an overwhelming vote. For months
previous Giant bad been engineering this
corrupt project, and had done what no other
President ever did before. He became a
lobbyist in the Senate committee rooms in
favor of the ratiticatioa of the treaty. Ue
Used the executive patrc cage to induce Sen
ators to vote the treaty through the Senate,
and in the care of that notorioUFly corrupt
man, Simon CameroD, he was easily success
ful, by appointing his (Cameron's son-in-law
Minister to Constantinople. Tho result
of all his efforts in favor of his favorite pro
ject, has been an inglorious defeat at the
hands of his own political friends. In tho
history of all previous administrations, was
ever a President treated with such open con
tempt by the very men who asu'sted in
placing him in power?

however, of his personal sufferings our envoy

of his constituents, which induces him to

purchase a number of articles in the United
States to be fabricated by American skill
and ingenuity. The mood in which thii no
tice is given reminds one of that heroic lady,
famous in the annals of Pere-la-Chaise, who
used her husband's tombstone, to announce
that, notwithstanding his lamented decease,

Pott and Conemnngrli County.
'So lone a I!- be (I'ottn) win prominent
among: our tbX pubUc-epivited citizen to get
up tbe protect of a new county, to b called
"Conmaugh." He was delegated by oar citi
zens to go to Ilarrisburtr with their petitions
and to represent tbera before the Legislature
on this important subject, lie remained there
six weeks, using his efforts for that laudable
measure. He hud influence enough to have the
bill reported favorably end p;iss throutfb the
Committee of the Whole, but the member then
representing Cainhrlu county, (Dr. William A.
sxmrth,) who resided In'.Elwneburjr, ad the bill
defeated on second reading."
The above paragraph is taken from a
Icn" editorial article in the Johnstown Tri
bune of July 1st. Now mark how a plain
statement of jacts will dispose or each and
every one of the foregoing allegations. Of
course I do not pretend to hold the ostensi
ble editor of the lribune responsiole lor ut
tering so many iulsehoods m so brief a space.
He is simply the victim of misplaced confi
dence. The writer of Una article represented
Armstrong county iu the House of Repre
sentatives during tbe sessions of 1850, 1851
aud 1852. and what he now propeses to say.
in denial of the above statement, is as fresh
and vivid iu his memory ns a thrice told tale.
and is a brief review of legislative proceed
ings in 1851 "all of which he saw and part
of which he was."
It is not true, tut an unqtial.ted false
hood, that Dr. V.m. A. Smith was the repre
sentative from Cambria county during the
session of 1851. but it is true that he uus
the member from this county during the
Pbession of 1850. The gentleman who repre
sented Cambria county during the legislative
session of 1851 was Mtj. John Linton, then a
resident of Jobns,towD, but now a citizen of
Rochester. Beater Ci Wty, and as true and
honest a man as ever represented this county
in tbe Asstmbly. He (Linton) defeated Dr.
Smith iu October. 1850. the district being
then composed of Cambria, Bedford and Ful
ton counties, with ttco members Ji hn Cess
na, then a democrat, being Linton's col
league. On the 12th of February, 1S51,
Major Linton presented tbe bill then and
afterwards known ns the "Conemaugh couu
ty" bill, and on his motion the bill was re
ferred to a select ctminittce consisting of
Messrs. Lin'on, Olwiue. O'Neill, Ross and
Fifl'e. On the 14th of the same month, Mr,
O'Neill, one of the members of the commit
tee and at present a Republican member of
Congress from Philadelphia, reported the bill j
as committed. Subsequently to this, peti- i
tuns in favor of the passase of the bill, as J
well as remonstrances against it, were pre
sented at different times during the ses.-ion. !
I gather thjse facts ict connection with
Conemaugfe county" from the efficial Jnur
ual of the House for the session of 1851,
which is before me as I write. Art vote teas
ever tcleri on the bill dining that session.
Majjr Linton himself permitting it to die an
ignominious legislative death. Four or five
years afterwards this same "Coiiemaugh
county7' project was resurrected by George
S. King, of Johnstown, who then -epresetil-ed
this county. It passed the House, but it
was defeated in the Senate through the pe
culiar tactics and skill of Maj r Thomas A.
M.iguire, then of this county, who was at
the time clerk of that body.
If James Potts spent six tceeks at Il.irris
burg in 1?51, as the Tribune s.yi, he did,
using his ff ;rts iu favor of tho Conemaugh
county" bill, the statement of the simple
fact, that it was never (nought to a role, n
conclusive evidence that Potts had as little
influerce then iu furthering the passage f
the "Conemaugh county" bill as he would
have during the next session iu his laudable
efforts to procure the removal of the county
beat from Ebensburg to Johnstown.
Hereafter, when the editor of the Tribune
undertakes to write a eulogium on his dear
frieud Potts, I demand of him that he shall
state jacts and not Julsthonds. Let him
"tell the tiu:h and shame the dervii." It is
a wholesome max'ui and one that is worthy
of all acceptation. Truth.
For the Cambria Freeman.
Ma. Editou Without suggesting, much
less dictating, the name of any person an a
fit candidate for Assembly, 1 desire to ssy a
few words in relerencn lo that important
question. I am a northern man, but not
one with southern principles, as understood
and claimed by the leaders of the removal
project. 1 do not propose to enter into a
discussion of that contemplated outrage fur
ther than merely to say that the candidate,
whether he may prove to be. a resident of the
northern, middle, or southern portion of the
couuty, must be a mau who. on the reino
val is.-ue, is "pure and beyond reproach."
That he will b so I do not entertain a shad
ow of doubt, if the Democrats of the several
election districts will see to it that no man
who is i.ot l.onest and competent, and who
is uot it'ent.fied or iu any way connected
with what are known as political Rings ,"
is sent as a delegate to the convention.
There is auother subject, however, of
great public concern, and one in which the
Djruocratic party of the Siate generally aud
the Democratic party of Cambria county
especially, is deeply interested. I refer to
the apportionment of the State into Senatori
al and Representative districts, which must
be done under tbe constitution by the Leg
islature to be elected on the second Tuesday
of next October. This busiuess is no "fool's:
play," but is alwa3's surrounded with grave
and innumerable difficulties, which no mau
except one of brains, and who can givo a
reason for the faith that is in him, is com
petent to solve. That we have men in Cam
bria county who are fully capable to repre
sent faithfully aud intelligently her political
interests in this ngaid and to letain her
separate representation in the House in the
future, as it has existed since 1857, cannot
be questioned, but it is high time to sound
the note of alarm. As I said before, I am
the advocate of no man specially nor is this
communication addressed to you with the
design of advancing or promoting the per
sonal or political prospects of any one aspU
rant, whoever he may be, for the Legisla
ture. It is written simply, with an honest
view, to impress upon tho Democratic party
of this county the vast impoitance of the
question which 1 have fairly presented, and
to say to the members of that party, in every
election district in the county, that to be
forewarned is to bo forearmed, aud then if
they wiliyaiZ to perform their whole duty
let them, when they "sow the whirlwind, ex
pect to reap the storm '.' Clearfield.
Graxt in the Sus light. -Tho N. Y.
Sun referring to Grant's St. Domingo job says:
"In secrecy and to a foreign State the
President has pledged his word to coerce as
best he may the representatives of tho peo
ple whose servant he is. Iu secrecy aud to
a foreign State he has pledged himself to
make no communication to Corjgress con
cerning a public measure of the highest im
portance until satisfied that the measure will
be successful. The people cannot forget
these things. They are so many blows
struck at the integrity and even the exist
ence of free government and republican in
stitutions, and blows of such a character
that a free nation cannot survive many of
tbem. The terrible devastations of war were
not more dangerous to us as a people than
is the spirit manifested in these acts of the
administration ; and it is tad to think that
he who did ho much to free us from tho evils
of war should so soon bring upon us these
dark forebodings of deeper ill.
Then and Sow.
It is well enough occasionally, says the
Harrisburg Patriot, to remind the radical
voter cf the doctrines professed and theories
taught in the recent patt, by the political
leaders whom he follows, lest in the rapid1
reti e gression of his party from the liberal
position which it once returned, be might
forget and eventually deny that he was ever
a republican. With this object in view we
reproduce a letter addressed by John W. For
ney to Andrew Johnon, a short time before
the close of the late civil war hich origin
ally appeared in print in the Washington
Republican of January 17, 1807 :
Washington D. C. Jan. 7, 1867.
His ExctUeiiey Andrew Johnson :
ill Dear Uoveukob : I cannot too heart
ily thank you for your letter, dated Nash
ville, December 30, 18C4, received on
Wednesday eveni'ng. There Lr not a word
or sentence in the article frotu the Nashville
Times, which you enclose, that does uot
meet my warmest approbation. I have read
and re-read your letter aud it, and have
shown both to several iutimato friends. I
hope soon to be able to indorse both in my
two newspapers The Chronicle and tLe
Tress. Alter a pretty thorough canvass I
thitk the Senators and Representatives
frcm Louisiana will be admitted; and, if
this is so, it is easy to anticipate that those
of Tennessee will also be received. The only
person that J fnd opposed to your theory, and
who is now hesitating as to the true course to
be pursued in rej'ertnce to the admission of'
Louisiana, is Mr Sumner, of Massachusetts
He may probably be followed by Wade,
Wilkinson, Chandler and a few more ; but
Senator Wilson, cf Massachusetts, is i-ptn
and determined in. his course, aud 1 think he
will carry with him a number. The at
tempt lo embarrass the admission of such
States as Tennessee.after havinggone through
such' suffering as yours, and aj'ttr having re
organized lieir States from the eery J'ounda
lion ff principle and laic, would be a tad
proceeding.
The fact is, my dear Governor, we cannot
resist peace, fchould the Southern people lay
dowu their arms aud demand to come back
into the Union under the term of the am
uesty proclamation agreeing toil.e abolition
of slavery by the amendojent of the Consti
tution, and consenting to the restoration of
tLe old Union. Any party tliat opposes such
an appeal icould come to confusion, nor can
ice aiLmpt to artbarrass such questions as
those presented iu the caoe of Louis:aua and
Tennessee, by legislation on the suij cl of
negro svjffruae, because that question L Jongs
to the States and it wiil lok very odd if the
legislators from the lree Slates should en
deavor to confer the right of suffrage upon
the as yet illiterate r.tgroes, j'it delivered
from slavery in the South, when, in nearly
all the free States, the negroes are wholly dis
j'ranchised. I feel iu high hope that the
course ot the people of S .vannah, which you
have by this time iten. in coming forward
voluntarily aod heartily agreeing to tho
terms e ff red by the government, will bo fol
lowed in other qu irters, and that we are, in
fact, about to realize the beginning of the
end of the rebellion. We are linking for
you here uith much interest. Your presence
and your counsel arc needed. Youte tiuly,

WITH A DlSlN Di E1TKD BliOTlIBR. Teh
yes. fifteen years ago, says the Kansas City
Times, there lived in St. Joseph a family by
the Dame of Adams, the her.d cf which was
a tsteru, though kiud old gentleman, whom
fifty years had touched lightly, lie was
wealthy, but what he prized above all, was
the pride ol his old age two noble boys,
G-orge and Frank, aged respectively eih
teen and twenty. The war came on ihe
terrible strife in which brother was arrayed
against brother, and father against sou. Mr.
Adams was an uncompromising Union man,
and his eldest sou, George, espoused his fath
er 's cause. Frank y lined the forces in defense
of the suuuy South, under William Y. Slack.
When the father learned of the course takeu
by the younger, his rage knew no bouuds.
He sent bim word to return, or he was no
longer heir to his broad acres or a recipient
of his love. His son replied that no induce
ment would cause him to surrender his prin
ciples. The old gentleman drew up his will
leaving his youngest son penniless. The
war continued, each of the brothers fighting
valiantly in defence of iheir different banners.
Peace once more blessed the land, the eldest
son returned home, while the younger loca
ted in this city, and by his courteous bearing
and close attention to business gained hosts
of friends. His whereabouts were unknown
to eilhr father or brother, and, though he
loved them both, his pride would not permit
him to return to a heme from which he had
been cut t fit in a moment of passion. The
nld gentleman was gathered to his fathers,
and the eldest son became sole heir to his
fathers wealth. George was no sooner in
possession of his property than he made dil
igent search for his brother, aud after a time
traced, him to this city. The meeting be
tween the brothers occurred only last week,
and wss both cordial and afLctiog. The
eldest caused a deed of half his estate to be
made out in favor of his younger, brother,
and forced the acceptance upon him. Such
a spirit is noble, grand and magnanimous,
therefore we give St. Joe the credit, as stated
above. The incident is true, as persons in
both cities can testify.
Terrible Massacbk of Fbekch Qtizeks
at Pekin, China. Advices from Pekin
give particulars of a fearful butchery of
French residents in that city by a mob of
Chinese on the 21st of June. An organized
mob. imbued with an intolerable hatred of
foreigners, aud especially of the French res
idents, in a great mass appeared in tbe quar
ter inhabited by the latter, aud immediately
commenced beating end maltreating all the
Frenchmen whom they encountered.
They, however,- met with some resistence.
Inflamed w ith fury the Chinese procured all
manner of weapons and began a dreadful
massacr3 of the Freuch."
They eutered many houseB, maltreating
the inmates and dragging thetu forth into
the , streets, where they were beaten with
stones and. bludgeons and stabbed with
knives. . -
Many wero killed or will die from the
injuries received. Some of the Chinese used
fire-arms. The resideuce of the French Con
sul were brokeu into and himself and the
Secretary of the French legation were bru
taly massacred.
Some of the attaches were wounded.
The rabbie also killed several Sisters of
Mercy and a number of priests, all foreign
ers, many French.
They also beat to death several Russians.
All the French people ovetaken were killed
or shockingly maimed. In fact the rage of
Chinamen appeared to be directly expended
upon this class of foreigners.
Not content with their fiendish work,
thoy repaired to the Roman Catholic Cathe
dral and drove forth the worshippers, took
possession, and after sacking it, set fire to it.
It was totally destroyed.

for $lli per uionih they cm employ a mau to
labor. No matter how many thousaitds of
whi'.e men nre turned out of eiuploj ment at
Lynn and North Adams : no under how m-wiy
widows suffer : uo matter huw ni -'uy orph in

wages ore cut down, the only o'j-ct of thee
ltyal Puritans being to make money for them
selves, that they may bur more members of
Congress, enslave more workingmen, end con
trol this government for the benefit of an in
famous, accursed nristocracv. Aud they call
this liberty ! For my purl, I believe iu defend
ing the interest of those who made the coun

have not bui!t our railroads ; they have not
given us great Statesmen ; they have not sup

A Man Yakkid up by i'iih Feet and
Carrier off by a Bai.oon. The biloon
that goes with De Haven's circus seems fatc-n
to give origin to startling incidents that have ;

It wu inflated in thu presence of 1,500 peo
ple, tiie wind blowing sharply from the east.
The aeronaut took his position in the frail
bark, the ropes that held it to the earth were
loosened, and sheering rs it staited, a fharp
east wind blowing at.tho time, it caught a
Kecoud party, who became entangled iu the

uut&fy explorer hauging by the feet
At the height of thirty feet the unwilling
traveler Fuccte-led in catching a horizontal j
rope near the bottom of the ha'oon with l is
hands, and thus supported m tinted to the j
height of 400 feet and moved r3 iJ!y in a '
westerly direct i n. j
The rapid co15rs and condensation of!
heated air that supported it, and the extra
weight of a buu:lred and eighty pounds,
caused it to descend almost as fast as it went
up, landing the two passengers- with a heavy
concussion on the eaves of a hou-e from
which they fell, biuised. gashed, and faint
ing, to the ground. At firt they uero sup
posed to be killed, but pn-ujpt medical
attendance soon resuscitated them, and their
hurts proved not very various.
The emotions of a man hanging by his feet 1
and bauds ahue and moving rapidiy through j
the air, at au elevation of four or five hun-
dred feet, may be better imagiued than
described. It was the most thrilling scene i
wo ever witnessed. ;nd we do not care to see

Akothbb English Horror. The Ux
bridge massacre is succeeded by the revela
tion i f a sciies of murders which thiow all
atrocity far into tLe shade. The London
correspondent of the World gives aa account
of a "baby farmer" who has succeeded in
murdering forty ir.fauts whom confiding
mothers bad entrusted to her charge. 1'hia
fieud is a woman named Waters, with many
an alias, living in the suburbs of London. -Her
numerous pseudonyms were necessary
to her business. Her plan of operations
were to advertise, under one name or auoth
er, her readiness to adopt an infant on paj
ment of. a premium of five pound. Her
style of advertising was very .".ff :ctionnte.
She was "very fond of children," and pritu
ised to do all in ber'pnwer "to secure the
happiness of the little one.'' She- wanted a
child "as young as possible," so that it would
know none but herself aud husband "as its
parents." She had a home in every way
calculated to "make a child happy." It may
readily be imagined that there were many
mothers in London willing enough to dis
pose of their children on such easy terms. In
this way Mrs. Waters got possession of no
less than forty children, all of whom she
cruelly murdered. She did net lorg keep
the babes under her loving care, but as fast
as one was disposed of, advertised under a
now name for another. In this way she
carried on the trade of infant murder for a
considerable time. i- All Christian England
is chocked at these terrible revelations. But
for the one Waters who is detected in her
crime and brought to punishment, how many
escape? Patriot.
A Sad Story, The Scranton Republi
can tells a mournful story of a casualty on
the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad
lately. A Mrs..Gavcn with three children,
two little boys aged five and seven years and
a babe, was at' the depot at Pittstou to take
a train. She put tho two little boys in a
car and then returned to the station for her
babe.- Meanwhile the train started. iThe
station-master signaled the conductor to stop,
and the little boys screamed at being carried
away from tbeir mother. Rut it seems that
the train neither stopped nor was any care
taken of the children. The mother tele
graphed to put them off at Scranton. Noth
ing further is known of them until Ihey were
found on the railway track about 2 o'clock
the next morning the youngest cno killed,
and the other lying insensible, with his arm
cut off close to the sho jlder. The poor little
wauderers had been run down by a train in
a deep cut ; but how or why they were put
off the train no one knows. We have rarely
read a more distressing story.
