James I, liarr, editor of the Pittsburgh Poft : i . YorkT, May 1, 1370. .V; Tifir Sir : presume you are aware that I have never encouraged in the slight est ugr:o any tlTort to make tne a candi date for tlie Presidency. But I could not interfere to rrvent, it without being offen sive to persons for whom I felt .the greatest respect and afTeetionl I think, liowevcr, I may bo permitted now In ex press the sincere desire I always entertained that my name should he entirely dropped from the list of possible candidates; For this I have certain.' good and sufficient reasons, soiiih of them private .anil personal, ethers j.'iililic and pol itical, which you appreciate as highly as anybody. ; . There are many names mentioned for the nomination at, St. Louis far better than mine. If tin delegates from Pennsylvania desire to vote for a citizen of this state, we have one whose claim npon them and upon the country is beyond disju e, Gen-. Hancock, whose heroic Conduct Ip ai ins is only equal ed by Ids scrupulous de vol to the princi ples of civil lilerty in time of peace, would make a candidate and a President of whom we might be proud indeed.- ' , Of course 1 feel nothing but gratitude to you and others who thought me tit to lie named for this high ofiice. My thanks will, I hope, rin.l expression at some futtiro time, in acts nincli loudor than any words I cou.'d us at present. Very truly yours, &c. J. S. Black. - ! : m. ; . .....

' About this time McC-e.i ion and Yost, the two night policemen on duty, were by UlcCarron's fears led to pass Car roll's saloon, and on the porch there saw JlcGehr.n, IJoyle and Carroll. I.TIO IN "WAIT Ton TJTK VICTIM. The latter seemjr the two policemen to gether tried to dissuade McUchan and lioyle from doing the work that night, but McGehan declared it must, be that night or never. Kerrigan then led Met 'than and Boyle to a place on Broad street, Tnmaqua, and located them behind a tree, within a few artls of the street lamp, which it was Yivst's dut y to extinguish. Yost soon came to the place, and whilst his right hand and arm were stretched up to put out the light McOehan fired, and 3rit.li Boyle fled into the woods, where they were met by. Kerri gan, who took them along the crest of the ..Sharp Monntsin towards their homes. hen near a tavern, known as the Y bile Bear, Keriigan left the other two, and they shortly after met a. man. by the name of Iiiiscel. who asked .theni where they were from, and received from Boyle the answer that they had been toiMauoh Chunk to a dance. These facts are from the. pi isoners 'Carroll, McUehan and lliorty, toMcParlen, tho detective, who in his examination thus far has been confined todotailing f.ictsnnd cnnvci sat ions relating to the Yt mnrder, but at the adjournment on Saturday the Commonwealth mndo a written offer to prove by Mc.Parlen all the facts which he has ' learned - in regard to tho Mollie Magfiiies, the connection of the prisoners with that order, and thus show the object and inducements which led to Yost's mur der, but at the adjournment on Saturday the Commonwealth made a wiitten otfer to prove by McParlen all the facta which he has learned in regard to the Mollie Maguires, the connection of the prisoners with that order, and thus show the object and in ducements which led to Yost's murder. McParlen himself was on the committee appointed to kill Jones, aid by reason of warnings from him Jones took precautions to frustrate the design of his murderers, never, however, imagining that be would be attacked in broad daylight and shot down in the sightof anumbur of witnesses. It seems that the murders of Yost at Tarn aqua, and Jones at Lausfoid were what the Mollies call a trade, that is, Campbell, of Storm Hill, now in prison at Maucli Chunk charged with the murder of Junes, was anxious to have Jones killed, and Duffy and Kerrigan, of Tamaqna, were anxious to have Yost killed, so Campbell agreed to ability and the. will to aid on the project should transmit their consignments without delay to the Pavilion of the Centennial Newspaper Exhibition. Fairmonist Park, Philadelphia, addressed to the care of Mr. Oco. P. Howell, who has the matter in charge. While on view, theso exhibits will have attached to thein labels designating by whom they are contributed, and all con sistent care w ill le taken to preserve them from damage. After the close of the Ex hibition they will be again at the service of their owners, or, in the absence of different instructions, will bo transfened to some histoiical society or museum. During the late war there were many newspapers- issued which illustrated the straits in which their publishers found themselves. Pink, blue, and yellow sheets, wrapping paper, and nianyotbersubstitutes were pressed into the service. Specimens of these now possess a cuiious interest. The advantages to the public of Such a gathering are manifest to a degree which Tenders elucidation unnecessary, and the opportunity to do a veiy useful act , is placed within easy reach. A single copy or some senile broadsheet may not be of much worth to its proprietor, yet in con jui ction with other it wili make up a worthy collection. Many people there are who, having preserved such curiosities for years, can turn them to little, or no practical account, afid it is not too much to bope.that the response given by such will be ready nnd general. . Without loss to themselves, they can materially benefit visitors to the Great Centennial Exhibition and appreci ably advance a patriotic movement. deuce already in shows that ltiorty's pis tol, in McGehan's hands, was used to kill Yost, ami the same pistol in Doyle's hands was used to kill Jones, and Kerrirjau acted as scout and guide in both affairs Tho wire of Rev.

Sunday afternoon a young lady aged about eighteen years, while returning fr om Sunday school, was attacked by a tramp about a mile from Duncannon, Pa., who committed an outrage on her person and then took to the mountains.

Part of the ground burned over by the fire was the same as traversed by the fire of 1871. The burnt district includes everything from tho foundry to W. J.

Standard pattern, sixty seven pound steel rails, manufactured by the Cambria Iron Company, will be used. The ballast is blue limestone, obtained at Springfield Junction. Blair county. The slopes on either side of the elevation on which the tiack will be constructed will be sodded. There are two leading objects In putting down the track. The first is to exhibit two postal cars of the United States government, and the second is to give every person attending tho big show an opportunity of seeing and examing the standard track in use on all the lines and branches of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

At 3.30 o'clock Saturday morning Leavenworth, Kansas, was visited by a de structive wind storm. It had been raining almost incessantly for sixty hours, nd at the time the storm struck the town the rain was still falling in torrent. At 3.25 o'clock a dense black cloud was seen in the western horizon, and a few moments after a sharp .breeze came up from the east, which continued not over a minute, when there was a dead calm and rain ceased falling. Just, as the hurricane struck the city there came a blinding flash of light ning, followed by a crash of thunder that made the earth tremble. Tho. wind -cloud was funnel shaped, with, the small end down. It moved with an oscillating mo tion from west to east, rebounding like a bomb-shell, and scattering ruin in. its path way wherever it struck tho earth. The loss to the -city nd county cannot be less than 1 150,000, and may reacbr$250,OO0.

Around the bowl of tho cup are 30 half-carat diamonds simply ami chastely mounted. On the base is a diamond cross, and above an etching of Peter, which is flanked by two large amethysts, incrtisted with diamonds.
