ORJL.NUKYII.LK, 111., June I'.'. '74 MR. EDITOR:—I will give you a little sketch of the west. We had *cold and dry weather up to May 1, when it changed to summer, and was hot through May and a little dry; by the 2nd of June wc had con siderable rain and cold weather with win ter like winds. To-day wo had heavy storms, exceeding anything for the past five years. Wheat and oats look well, corn is on a stand it being too wet and cold for corn to grow during the last two weeks. The grain market at Freeport is, wheat $1.05, corn 58, oats 40, rye 90, pota toes SI.OO. I see from the Reporter that you have the potato bugs; we had them here for about ten years; they will afford you something to contend with. You can tell a little more about them in five years after this. They are very destructive to the potato. M. S. Tit* EXEMTIOX STATYJTR.— Among the important law* passed by the Legislature is the one relating to the exemption of pro perty from levy and sale on execution* and distress for rent, declaring tho waiver thereof by a debtor, except in certain cases, void. We give the bill in full as it passed both Houses. It reads : Be it enacted, Jr., That on and after the fourth day Of July next, no waiver except as hereinafter provided, by any debtor, a resident of this Commonwealth, who is the head of a family, of the benefit or right to claim exemption of property from levy and sale upon execution and distress for rent that is now or may hereafter be al lowed or exempted by the laws of this Commonwealth, shall be valid, any debt or making such waiver or any agreement therefor or any member of tho family of such debtor may claim and demand and shall be entitled to such exemption the same as if no such waiver or agreement therefor had been made ; Provided ; That this act shall not effect or apply to any' waiver or agreement therefor made prior to the fourth day of July next, nor shall this act affect or apply to any obligation, agreement or indebtedness entered into or contracted for the purchase of real estate ; and provided further, that this act shall not effect er apply to any waiver of inquisi tion or confession of condemnation of real estate made by any defendant as is pro vided by "An act relating to executions,' approved June 16th, Anno Domini 1836." This act has not yet been signed by the governor, but it is said will be. TIMF. IS MOXKV.— We understand! that Judge Orvis computes the hourly ez- j penseofour court, while in session, at $25 per hour, and fines defaulting jurors and witnesses accordingly. If either of the parties indicated detain the court fif teen minutes, the fine will be $5, and in; proportion for any longer time. A siini-1 lar schedule will be fixed for attorneys, plaintifis and defendants at tho next term, except upon a higher scale. This timely and financial arrangement will, no doubt, result in much good. It will keep all in the court room during the session, and ex pedite business amazingly if enforced.— Clearfield Republican. FEARFUL HAIL STORM.- MONDAY evening of last week a hail storm swept over a portion of this county, which for fierceness and destructiveness has not been equaled for many years. In Trough Creek Valley it seems to have been the most destructive There hail stones—or rather boulders—seven inches in circum ference, fell amid driving wind, which caused the hail to break windows, and ev er. penetrate ordinary shingle roofs, de stroying fruit tree* and grain fields and in at least one instance kill animals. By the tiine it had reached McConnelstown and Grafton much ofils fury wasspentyet there was sufficient force left to smash windows innumerable and destroy much of the growing grain and fruit. At McConnels town, so thickly was the greund strewn with the hail that a family living near that place gathered n tub full of it and froze ice cream with it. We hear of a number of trees being torn up by the roots, but the greatest injury was done to the fruit and growing grain. Many farmers have suf fered so severely that their crops will not be worth gathering. The storm appeared to be about one mile wide and passed over the south western corner of the county.— Huntingdon Monitor, 16th. Elephants are dying out in India.

I TIIK LANG KINO M ASSAUKKS Terrible Slaughter of ( hinrse t'hri*- liana —Hunting down with HoumU Those Seeking Hefugo in the Woods —Alt Awful Story from n Trench I\t|er. Tho French periodical* C'utho* ' litjues, gives ut the tlr*t authentic and de tailed narrative of the recent massacre of Kotuati I'ulhelic native convert* in China, to which wo have already briefly alluded. The account, a* translated lor the London Tablet, relate* that the massacre broke out 'on the 251h of February, when the "liter -1 ales," as the persecuting parly i* called, opened the campaign by beheading two men iii the service of I'ere Doaro and a Christian, whom they then threw into the river. The same day they burned the three village* of Trun-Lain, N'io-Vinh, and Han Tach, and massacred the inhabi tants that were in them. Those who suc ceeded in escaping to the w>H>ds were hunted down with hounds, brought back and killed on the following days The river was coverej over with bodies dusting down it from the side of Lareg. At that time ilia murderers were uiaaaacreing the Christians of the parish of.Holven, and were burning their villages. Those who look reAige in the cliffs of the neighbor hood were hunted down and burnt alive. The grand mandarin of justice was at the market of Sa Nam with bUi soldiers, but remained an inactive spectator of the massacre of the Christiana of Nam-Duong, only a few of whom wero able to escape. • • • • The literates who were the heads of the uiiliua appointed to mas sacre the Christians, say that The Work of Extermination carried out under the eyes of the manda rins, was concerted between ll.e court and the literates, and was done m reprisal for recent events. The mandarin* have just received order# from the court not to employ auy other meaus ave those of persuasion to stop the murderer* in their career. One of the chief* whojhad just caused two Christians to be murdered on the high road went on the parade before the Governor of the citadel, by whom lie was dismissed with honor. On his return twenty women or children felt under the • words of this man and his follower*. He had just come from ottering sacrifice to the Goddess of Prostitution, to whom a famous temple that stands near the road is dedicated. The Horrible Mode of Murder I In several localities they take an entire family—father, mother, and children— bind them together with bamboos, and ithen ding the bundle of living humanity into the waves. First, however, they take care to cut off the man's head. The mul ! titude of dead bodies thus fastened togeth er in groups of from eight to ten blocks up the principal river, but to the great sur prise of everybody does not send forth may bad smell. There are then five parishes, containing nearly 10.UUU Christians, which have to be blotted out of the mission— namely, Lang, Thank-lluven, Nam-Du ong, lioy-Yen, aud Doreg-Thank. Many of the victims died in the midst of fiatues. A village of more than 40U Christians was attacked by the literates and soon became a prey to the dauies. Amongst these 400 Christians there were 130, more or less, who succeeded in saving themselves by taking refuge in a large village near by. The remainder—about SUO— were nearly all massacred. Two Small Villages of Christians, situated two hours' walk from the place at which I then was, were hemmed in by the pagans. The mayor visited each house, numbered the Christians, aud forbade them, under threat of moat severe punish ment to go out ol doors. A few of the Christian women attempted to go to the market to keep themselves from starving They never returned. Some pagan wo men that went with them say that the Christian women were captured and be headed. Two men from one of these same villages hazarded a flight during the night, they crossed the great river by swimming, and came to me to tell their misfortunes. "Alas!" write* ArchbishopGaulhier, from whose letters this information is chiefly derived, "I could do nothing but weep with them, being unable to do anything to succor them. Two or three days after ward* I learned that all tho men in that village had had Their Heads Cut Off, but the women and children were spared. And as .their houses were intermingled with those of the pagans, it was forbidden to burn them down." Tux ACT DISPKNMNO WITH JURY TRI ALS.— -The following act, passsed by the recent Legislature, has been approved by the Governor and is now a law : Ax ACT to provide for the submission of civil cases to the decision of the courts, and to dispense with trial by jury. Sac. 1. Be it enacted, Ac,, That in any civil case now|pending in any of the courts of this Commonwealth, or hereafter to be commenced, after issue joined, the parties thereto, excepting those acting in a fidu ciary capacity, may by agreement filed in the proper office where auch suit is pend- | ing, dispense with trial by jury, and sub mit the decision of such cases to the courts having jurisdiction thereof, and such courts shall hear and determine] tLe same, and the judgement thereon shall be subject to writ of error or of appeal as in other cases at law or in equity, at the op tion of cither party.

Koine, June 18.—At u reception ol the cardinals by the Popo on Tuesday, His Holiness mentioned that proposals had been received emanating from exalted political personages looking to reconciliation be tween the Papacy and the Italian Govern ment. He declared, however, that he would yield nothing ; thut any concession on his part would be injurious to the Church and society. CALIFORNIA 8 BENEFACTOR Tin?

The deed ha- been accepted by the trustee-, who have all signed it, and having been placed on record it lias become a finality, and so far a* we can see, is in no danger of being rendered invalid by litigation or other obstacle. Mr. Lick's Career. James Lick ha- been among the inosl noteworthy of all our earlier pionceisl! Naturally modest and reticent to the las degree, nearly all the acts of his eventful life have remained unnoticed until recent ly. We first find him in the interior ol Pennsylvania, a young married man. quietly pursuing a course of operations, evincing great enterprise in their plan ning, untiring energy in their executiou and promising great advantages in their results. We next find him in the pampn of Brazil and Buenos Ayes, with hi thousand* of horses and cattle, in the ra pacity of a gr.at proprietor, from whom the governments of those countries derived their supplies for the cavalry and their commissariat. Agaiu, we find Lun on the other side of the continent, operating in : the commercial metropolis of Chili and Peru; everywhere, and at ail times, so I quiet and so unobtrusive that none save those with whom he had transactions ii, business and those who observed the exter nal improvements wrought kv bis enter-' prise would be awaie of bis existence. , His mode in all department* ot life ha never been in a rut, but sui yeneri*. In YalparaUo he was not only doing new things, but doing them in bis own way And strange a* it may seem in such a quiet man, he was always reaching iuto enterprises in advance of others, "taking time by the forelock." When the nowtol the gold discovery in California reaches! Valparaiso, he was in business that would have taken an ordinary man a series of months, at least, to so close up that be could leave it with any sort of consistency , yet he put doubloons enough in his trunk to make S'A>,O(Z), besides the expenses of the trip, entrusted his business to a confi dential friend, and stepped on board the first vessel leaving his place for San Fran cisco. Arriving here he found exactly what his sagacious mind had predicted from the moment that tho golden new bad reached him, vis. a splendid oppor tunity to invest in real estate. Ho scanned the situation, foresaw tho growth of the town, selected his "corner lot*" with great goeJ judgment, and invested hi* money. The property ho purchased with fllU.tX*) i* perhaps to-day worth many millions. In the first few years he built sparingly and with great care ; afterward, liberally and magnificently. In 1853, John Welter, United States Senator from California, said in his place : "I would not give six biu for all the agricultural lands in California. At this very time Mr. Lick wan preparing the foundations for a flouring mill in Saa ta Clara county, which, with its massive foundations, flue burr stone*, and interior finishings of solid mahogany, had, before it was completed, cost half a million of 1 dollars. This done, ha took fifty acres of, adjoining lands, reduced its surface to n spirit level and set by the square and com pass, with his own hands, the whole with the choicest varieties of pear trees. These operations, and nuuicrsut others, proved very remunerative, lie subsequently' erected the magnificent hotel in this city which bears his name. Recently his aet have placed him in the front rank of philanthropists of this or any country, 110 gave to the society of California pioneer* the lot on Montgomery street, on which l'ionecr hall stands. (His latest noble gifts are detailed above). Mr. Lick has been for many months in poor honlth, but has devoted all his atten-i tion to the arrangement of plans for the disposal of his wealth in a manner to se cure the greatest amount of good to the coming generations of his fellow men.
