of a mile below thi* place. A tramendou*

Mr. Fr. Arnold left a bean pod at
this office, measuring 27 inches in length.
"We observe that our young friend
and whilom townsman. Mr. J. L. Spang
ler, has retired as assistant editor of the
Watchman in order to resume his law stu
dies—the short time which he devoted to
editorial duties proved his fitness for so
important a post, and we know that in the
practice of the profession which he has
chosen he will alse make bis mark. Joe
W. Furey now occupies the place thus va
cated— bis old chair—in which he had al
ready established his reputation as a spicy
writer. Success to both.
We have seen a rich specimen of
pipe ore, found upon the farm of Hon.
Sara'l Gilliland, in Harris twp,, of which
there seems to be a large vein on the spot.
The ore on the farms of Jacob Rosa, Jacob
Stover's heirs, and Sam 1 Gilliland, all in
Harris township, and the Ross farm in
Ferguson, all lie in a line between the
Watson Dank and tbe Boysen bank at
Pennsylvania Furnace. The railroad runs
through the tiilH'.and end Stover farms
and along side the other farms mentioned,
and the Bellefonte intersection at Onkhnll
is within IS or 20 reds of where tbe ore is
found on Mr. Gillilaad'sfiarm. There are
fine indications of rich ore deposits along
the line of the railroad between Centre
Hall and Penn'a Furnace, and also along
the Penns creek mountiana. all of which
only await the opening of the road for de
▼elopement, and which will be an impor
tant source of revenue to the road.

Rev. Alleman preached in the Luth.
church on last Sabbath evening.
The new toll-bouse at the western end
of Aaronsburg is almost ready for busi

Tbe mountains of Brush and Penn*
vallies yielded a large crap of buckle ber
ries. At some stores in the lower end they
sold as low as 6c per quart. The first crop
brought 10c, tad at this place 8c per quart
is the lowest figure they reached this sea
son.
A boy. whose name we did pot
learn, was killed last Saturday morning a
Bcllefonte, while standing on the bridge,
at tbe Bush bouse, looking at the wagons
of O'Brien's circus passing along. When
the wagen containing the centre pole,
reached that point, from some cause or
other, the team suddenly started to one
side, causing tbe rear of wagon to swing
around, the protruding pele striking the
boy across the hack with such violence as
to send him over bridge into the stream,
from which he was taken up dead from
the effect * of tbe blow.
Later— Tbo boy, Shops, is not dead.
Wm. From, of Churchville, had a
splendid tamarack hay-pole which his
friend, John Heckendern, brought from
tbe Bear meadows, and which he prixed
very highly, and as it was stolen by some
one who lives less than one hundred miles
away, he requests him to return it within
20 days, and save costs and expenses by so
doing.
On Thursday evening last, the la
dies' Eureka Society, connected with the
Normal, gave a public entertainment, on
which occasion the "Evening Star" was
read to a large and appreciative audience.
•Th-a reading was continued far about one
hour, and was frequently applauded. The
paper contained original and select matter
of the best kind, and the only possible ob
jection that could he offered, is, that it was
deficient in quantity, ft b" been a stand
ing boast, aver since the organisation of
the Normal school, that the Evening
Star excelled the Excelsior Review in
point of ability. After bearing beth pa
pers read, I am forced to the conclusion
that the Star is now completely eclipsed
by the planet Review, and that hereafter
the Star will be found occupying a secon
dary place in the literary heavens.

-Mi es t taaCMatsTiAN*.- The Ls-k
Kepublis-an of 27 ult., ray* ' The -amp
meeting of the Kv. Association at Sugar
Valley commenced las! week. On Friday
a disgraceful riot occurred there, which U
Ukoly to make work for the court*. At
the beginning of the meeting, as our in
formation goes, B M. aud John Bierly
rented a spot from Mr. Kahl near the
ground*, and established an eating tand.
They kept an orderly an quiet place,
sold no intoxicating liquor*, and made
their stand quite a convenience to a large
number of peoples They were carrying on
an honest traffic and making money. But
the brethern thought thi* an infringement
of their privileges, and remonstrated.
The Bierly*, however were immovable,
for they bad a good thing and resolved to
keep it. At last, on Friday, a pious but in
dignant force headed by three clergymen,
went to the stand, and seising the stork in
trade of the Bierly*, carried it away atd
locked it up. The Brut, however, reap
peared the nest morning with another
ettH-k of goods and resumed business. The
Indignant brethern thereupon employed
one of the Kaoteuers, who U a constable,
lejsrre-t the Bierly*, and he proceeded te
do so without a warrant. The Bierly* re
sisted this unlawful proceeding, and it is
said one of them drew a pistol upon the
constable. This appear* to have been the
signal for a general riot. The crowd,
which numbered about sixty, made a gen.
era! onslaught upon the premises, demol
ishing the stand, confiscating the provi
sions, and assaulting the proprietors. On
Monday the Bierly* appeared before Al
derman Batcbeler, and swore out warrants
against the various parlies named below
as follow* . For riot—-Rev. Messrs. Hett
ner, Stambach and Longstauff, and Lay
men Robert Karstetter. John Karstetter,
Rudolph Katstetter, David Stamra, John
Derry, A. W. Berry, Joseph Rodabaih,
John Weiss, John lleller, jr., and fifty
ether person* unknown. For assault and
battery on B. M. Bierly - Robert Karstet
ter, A. W. Berry, David Stamm, John
Karstetter. For assault and battery
on John 11. Bierly—Robert Karstet
ter, John Berry and David Stamm. The
warrants were placed in the hand* of con
stable Paul, who went over to Sugar Val
ley yesterday morning to make the arrests.
The Bierly* also commenced a civil action
for damage* against the same parties in J
the Court of Common Plea-, and Mr. I
Paul took along the summons, to serve
upon them, being authorized to do so by
the Sheriff.

SAVAGE LIFE IN AFRICA - *
Human Sacrifices and the Amazons
in Dahomey.
Au Englishman, Mr. J. A. Sketch
ly, has just relumed from Dahomey,
on the west coast ofAfrica, and is now
furnishiug some interesting illustra
tions from his sketch book to the
Illustrated I/ondou News. For six
months Mr. Sketch ly was the guest of
the King, by whom he was very hos
pitably treated. He is the only white
man that has been admitted into the
private apartments of tbe King.
There is no town of Dahomey. The
capital is merely one of tho royal pal
aces, with official residences for the
high officers aud the servants; while
the Amazons reside within tbe palace
in long, barn-like buildings immedi
ately outside and surrouuding the
private apartments. At each
of his nine palaces there are 4,000 of
these Amazons.
Before Mr. Hkctchly was admitted
to the palace he went through cere
monials lasting three days, during
which he was created a prince of the
royal blood, a duke, and a general of

He was then permitted to see the va
rious customs. He was an eye-wit
ness to the grand annual ceremonial
when the principal human sacrifices
take place.
por the sacrifice called the Men -hoo
who, the king reclines on a wicker
work lounge in his palace. He wears
only a blue cottou robe, as he consid
ers his dignity so great that he can
afford to dress in ordinary clothing
Neither the king nor the members of
the royal family ever dress in gaudy
attire.
Above the king's head an umbrella
is extended, and this is gorgeous with
scarlet, blue, aud yellow figures, cut
out with a knife from velvet, silk, and
damask. The Amazons sew the
pieces together so as to form emplc
matic devices. The bird is judicative
of royalty. None hut the princes of
Dahomey are allowed to adopt it.
The top of the umbrella is surmouuted
by a wooden ornament, representing
a roan with a bird in his hand.
The 4 n>a 9 on *ftl'P seated round the
King. Hetweeu them and the people
a nunther of bamboo rods ere placed
in a lino upon the ground. Any man
who crosses oue of these rods suffer*
immediate death. Soldiers bring in
the victims—slaves taken in war, and
generally old men. They are gagged
by means of a stick with grass rone
wrapped round it, which fills up the
whole mouth, and Is tied at tho hack
of t}je head, Their hands are fasten
ed togefhap, ijnd thpy ape Jjrmly
boupd tQ baskets whipn'are ntrpetj ou
the soldiers' hfttdp, Their bodies are
entirely naked, save a single cloth
around the loins. Conical hats arc
kept on their heads until just before
decapitation. The Prime Minister
lies prostrate, and receives in that po
sition a message from the King to the
victims. This message is to be carried
Aa
a to the fhther of the present King, who
o died about nine years ago.' For their
'* subsistence on the way be gives them

' The executioners tbsu cut oil' their
" heads and exhibit them to the jw-ople;

Cor purpuric*. Tbo bodies of the
j victims aio dragged by the crowd
.through tiio market place, and are
finally thrown into a ditch outside
Aboiuoy, where the hyenas aooo make
■ abort work of them. Thousands of
skeletons are in this ditch hut not a
single skull. The men appear to have
1 uo four of doalli. Mr. Saetchly states
that he has frequently looked into,
a man's face just at the moment wheu
he was about to have his head cut oil',!
j and not a muscle seemed to iudicate '
either emotion or fear.
The present King is more merciful
jthau his predecessors were. He is
endeavoring to reduce the fearful
| sacrifices or human life entailed upon
him on his acccssiou to the throne by
the customs of the country. <
He generously spares the lives of.!
half the number of victim* intended !
for sacrifice. No women are ever!:

l week doing Great damage to shipping;
the fruit crop has been almost wholly
detroved within a radious of 21HJ
miles, fences, trees and barns proatrat
• d and shipping damaged.
Not in the memory of any resident
lias such destruction been known.
At the breakwater,erected at an enor
mous outlay, the sea played fearful
havoc. All the uew work and a por
tion of the old is gonu. The docks
are also destroyed. The damage to
the wharves is ex|>eeted to aeach uear
ly 811)0,000, while the other damages,
urcludiug that to shipping, will proba
bly foot up over 1100,000.
It is thought over 100 vessels have
beeu driven ashore at the several har
bors of Cape llrelou. Seventeen
barks and schooners are ashore at Sid
ney. It is said that this does uot in
clude all (he vessels destroyed, as a
ilcet of French schooners nut iu there
during the gale and in all probability
mauy of thein have been wrecked.
Kight vessels arc ashore at Guysbor
ough, and every wharf in the harbor
there and a number of stores are de
stroyed. The brig Nekiua, from
Wallace for Bostou, is ashore at
-andy l'oiut with tho fore mast gone
and full of water.
In Autigouih county mauy burus
were scattered to the winds, and the
destruction of crops it immense. The
wharf at Antigonish is destroyed and
a schooner which was fastened to it
driven ashore. A man uamed McAl
den was drowned there. Four res*
sels are ashore at Hay field. The ca
thedral in Aatigunish town is badly
damaged.
