A letter to us from Missouri, says:
Missouri good for another year—not
withstanding the reports thai the chinta
bug and grasshoppers had destroyed the
creps, and that famine was -taring u> in
the face, T. II Greihand Benj. F. Limbert
formerly of this state, now ot Jasper Co , j
Mo., ihrohtd with their steam separator
thirty-nine thousand eight hundred and
forty i&fc-hJ. bushels of wheat in leas than
two months. The wheat crop of Jasper
county this year doe* not fall short of 000.-
(XV busheu, and if people are suffering it
must certainly be for want of something
stronger than brvad.
A murder having been committed
near Pittsburg, a few day- ago, and one of
the guilty parties to it calling himself
Fredrick Meyers, who has made confes
sion, many in this county are under the
impression that this Meyers is Fred. Mey
ers, formerly from fhis valley. We wish
to correct this. Tlui Meyers above men
tioned, in bis confession, states V* >*
from Baden, Germany, and that he worked
at trunk-making 16 years. This much of
his statement satisfies us that it is not Fred.
Meyers, formerly from this valley, who
assisted in the murder, as some are led to
think because a portion of his confession
might answer to him. We give an ac
count of the murder, and Meyer*' confes
sion in another column.

ceeds as far as to Woodward, where it re
mains until next morning. Passengers from
the lower end are thus envied to go

e lemm that the contract between
R. 11. Duncan ar.d Messrs "Wagner, Wilson
for tbe purcba.-o of his val
uable property at Spring Mills has fallen
through owing to a very slight difference
between them- respecting a question of
interest—we understand that K. H. Dun
can now offers the property to the highest
bidder upon condition--as regards terms of
payment—much more favorable to a pur
chaser, than those embodied in the former
arrangement. If correctly informed a term
of several years can he had to meet instal
me: t-and will be sold as a whole or in
detail.

The horse ran away, completely wrecking

gonerally to call in and see their assort

TUT EXT c.—One of the Tutens standing
near tbe locomotive when the train stop

the fellers that owned the train, and bow
much a train costs.
The same individual stopped tho stage

Arabian Nights stories were all true, and
that the 4th of July is celebrated for its

One of the Tutens has got Hastings to

An Example Worthy of Imitation.
MR. Fin Ton —I find by looking over the !
old files of the ' Democratic Watchman, ' i
of January ;Jth the following cor-'
respondence. In these days of Bepuklican
fraud-, high salaries and corruption it is
worthy of reproduction. Mr. Gilliland j
was a Democratic member of the Legisla
ture elected from this county in the year !
1858, and we have seen but few men any I
where willing to make similar sacrifice for
the benefit of the public. Hi. vote on the
general appropriation bill may be found
on page 292 of the Journal of the House
for 1808, where it was proposed to increase
the salary of the members from five to
seven hundred dollar*. Mr. (. not only
opposed tho bill but donated his cxt*a
compensation to the county. Now my ob
ject in this communication is simply that
the public may kn w the facts, it having
been circulated that Mr. Gilliland voted
for an increase of salary at the lime refer
red 10. We havo no spirit of complaint to
offer, for we can afford to t)e a little jubi
lant and gcttcrous oyer Democratic suc
cesses. W#, have rather a long line of
retrospection lo reach back through fraud
and corruption to those far . ff days of
democratic integrity. But that retrospec
tion carries us back to an example worthy
ot imitation, which I desire to make pub
lic. Those days contra-t in bold relief
with the dishonesty and corruption of the
Grant administration, and >1 the honest
men of all parties oust have thought by
. their votes in the late election. But let
the correspondence referred to speak for
itself. • • '

you will please place to the credit of Cen

when the general appropriation bill of tbe
last session of the Legislature was taken
up for consideration, that Mr. Foster, of
Allegheny county, offered an amendment
authorizing the State Treasurer to pay
each member thu tutu of two hundred dol

sation then allowed by Inw. 1 felt it on
duty lo appose SAID HI; endment (which "j
didj but it panted both branches of the

Let ut allow something for mistakes in '
the judgment and ob-errati n of the man ]
whom we havo quoted, and still we shall
have sufficient ground for the declaration,
that the negro in America, as a rule, holds 1
ibis religion independent of no rality— at;

it, or has nothing whatever to Jo with it,'
in his practical every day isfe. The fact

but as regards the country it, whose jsoliti

mora. To learn to read will do little for;
him if, at the an in a time, his sense of!"

regard for the rights ol others, his con
science, are not improved. If ho cannot!

tho ralaliont of Christianity to character ]

debate than elevate him. In an enormous
multitude of intlances, ell over the South,
hit religious riles are a travesty of Chris
tian observances, and a libel on Christian
ity itself a travesty and a libel that brings
religion into contempt among thousands of
observers.
It will he said that the loose nations of
marriage that prevailed during the ne<
gro # bondage, and the thefts ia which be
then jqilifiod himself, have a groat deal to
do with his present lack of moral sense. It
is claimed that bis education will lift him!
above his present religious teaching.'
Granted, and still we have the emotional]
nature of the negro left, and his natural]
tendency to emotional Christianity. It is
one of th great problems with which wej
have to deal -tjj educate the oouscieno# oij
the negro. To give hun intelligence with

been so useful, so honest and so belovod.

Dr. Vim Valaah was a man of wide in
formation and of large experience, lie
was devoted to his profession—with one
exception, ill the long reach of thirty years,
he was never absent a week from his field
ot labor.
Although hi* ttfw w spent in tho seclu
sion of the country, few physicians were
belter acquainted with the romodio# for
disease that Modern Medical Science has
