EPITOK RKPORTER It was my inten tion to write you before now, I ut there ha* been such a constant dearth of new* that 1 it was to ri-k one'* reputation a* a corrc i spendent to attempt to w rite. I have iaie ! y been the recipient of numerous letter* from iny friends in the east making ir.qui ryconccining thi* country, and as my time is constantly employed with business duties, I find it utterly imp -sible to re ply to their otherwise welcome letti r, Ufone thing I will here remind these wi.o write me merely for information concern ing this country, and ask them to give it rart-ful consideration. My time here is worth money, nnd as I am not in the land office bu,ine?s, 1 do not feel like answer ing di R'.-ns of letter* merely to g-atifiy the desire of those who are anxious to "know nil about the west " T > such person* 1 would say —when you write don't forget to enclose a three cent postage stamp for a return an-wer. Our aristocratic govern ment is not ducriminaling enough to lei us western people linvc postage stamp* for less than face—an important consider alion which 1 presume, many of my "in quiring" friend- have entirely overlook ed, but which, nevertheless is true. The above h;i* reference only t<> those who write mo for their own g-alfication, and not from ar.y frit-nosh p they have for me I noticed in the Reporter of April I-t. a paragraph tomelhitng like this : "The snow is melting fa-t.

The past winter ha* been the *everi *i known in this sec; on for many yevr*. Tin iieruiomitcr ranged from G to lo and ,c-v --c-i..l time* crawled down to 20 and 26, bui remained there not more than it day at i> lime. These extremes of cold are very -udden being caused by the north-western wind* which come sweeping down upon u, from the Rocky mountain* di-tanl - inn ,ix hundred miles. A* a natural con*e- quence, when heavy storm-are raging on the great plains west of u-, we are made to feel the effects to a greater or le-s ex tent, depending entirely upon the direc tion cf the current. When the storms as -iurue a due toulheily direction wc are nui lislurhcd, but when they assume an east city ar rati tr n south cn tcrly course, it i then that we are most disturbed by theii fury. The tia-ori why the storms do not effect you iii the cast like us in the west is, you are piotcclcd by great mountain harrier# and heavy forests which gradually lessen (lie raging elements and finally de stroy their fuice. If we had the Alleghe niesextended on the north-west from tin western extremity of Lake Supeiior in south west- tly direction to the southern line of Colorado, our climate wouid be vastly milder than the climate of southern Pennsylvania. As it is our climate in this latitute is milder than in the same latitude in Pennsylvania, the high winds except ed. For health, I decidedly prefer the cl mate of north-west Mo. to the climateof southern Pa. The winds are invigoru ling and bracing arid give the cheek a ruddy glow, and that terrible monster consumption—i here stripped of its lerri b'ene-s. But as I have already spun out a long letter and said nothing, I will cons cludi, by promising to bore you again sometime in future. Respectfully, £. 3. G.

For seme month* a young Irishman named James Lnffcrty, living in ltock ville, Allegheny county, ha* tried to in duce the daughter of a farmer, George Vannay, living a few mile from Rockville. to marry him. He was formerly in the employ of the farmer. The young girl repeatedly repulsed him. On Wedneidav afternoon he went to Vannay * and enter ed the sitting room, where the young wo man was at work. He renewed his propo sal of marriage and was again refused. He took a newspaper from his pocket, and pointing to an article hraded "Murdered j for Love," told her to read it. She lank the paper, and, a* she was looking at it, Liiffertv drew a revolver and fired. The ball entered the girl'* cheek and loged in the opposite side o'f her head. She started, -creaming, towards the kitchen, when her mother came running into the room. Laflerty shot the mother, tho bull entering near the right temple and loged behind the car. Both mother and daughter fell, land Icifferty ran from the li 'Use. Mr. IVannoy. who vva.- in the burn, reached the house just as Latterly came out, with hi- pi.tol -till in his hand Yannay exclaim ed, " What in the nerne of God is the mat • or'.'" and ran toward Lifferty. The lat ttei fired at Vannay but missed him. He then placed the pistol lo his own head und tired two shots, blowing the whole side of hi# bead off and killing himself almost in stantly. Vannay found his wife and daughter lying on the floor in pools ol blood. He supposed they wore dead, but they both spoke to biin. lie prepared to start for a doctor. As lie was running to the liarn to saddle a hoise Con-table Gan tion. of Rockvillo, came riding UP, an I hailing Vannay. asked if he ha I seen any thing of Jim Lafferty. nnc wen: on to av that old Mrs. Jaflbrty, hi* grandmother, had been found murdered in her bouse at Rockville, a sum of money she had in thel house was gene, and it win supposed In i had been killed by her grandson, whohadj been lurking around her house on Salur day. Vnnnay related the tragedy that had occurred lit hi houae, and the otßceri rode on to summon a physician nml give the nlerm. Dr. Young, of Cube, attended ind extracted the hall from Mn.

Dr. Young ia also Coroner, and he look charge of the body of the murdeiar and had it interred in a field near the scene of the tragedy Old Mrs. Latterly was found on Tuesday. There had been no stir about the house since Saturday, utul it was visited by some neighbors, who sup posed the old lady was sick. The door was not locked, nud Mrs. Latterly lay across the bed. Evidence* of a struggle were visible in the room and her clothes wero badly torn Her laco was black and bluu, and around her neck were dark blue marks, as though made by the fingers of the person with whom she had been strug sling5 ling An examination showed that eatn resulted from strangulation. The old lady had about one hundred dollars that the had laid by to pav her funeral ex pense*. The box in which she kept it was broken open and the money gone. There is no doubt in the neighbornood th.it she was murdered and robbed by her giand son, lloW COAL IS FORMED.
