Im Vermont nearly every Demo- cratic member of the Legislature is for Tilden. a w— Recorder Fulwiiler, of Chambersburg, swore into office Miss Ida Kurtz as Dep- uty Sheriff of Franklin Co. Miss Kurtz is a daughter of Sheriff Kurtz and bas been employed ian his office as clerk since Jan 1. She is aged sbout 23 years, accomplished and in every way qualli- fied to fill the position. Immediately af- ter she assumed her duties she proceed- ed to Green Castle, where she served geveral writs. She is perhaps the only female deputy sheriff in the state, and her appointment was favorably received. If Tilden does not put his foot down on it peremptorily, he will get it. -—— The following we commend to the la- dy readers of the RerorTer, it is from one of our dailies : A young lady in Pennsylvania has re- cently lost her reason through working on one of these erazy quilts. Before half of it was completed her brain was affect- ed and everything she saw scemed to take fantastic shapes. She is under a doctor's care and the quilt has been de- stroyed. The physician says the trouble resulted from attempting to match all sorts of conflicting shapes and that if the young lady had been contented with making a quilt out of square pieces of an equal size, easily matched, she would have preserved her reason and secured a warm bed-covering for next winter, : ninco The New York Senate Committee on public health, after spending several weeks trying to discover how the great bulk of gilt-edged creamery butter of the country is manufactured, has made its re- port and offered its recommendations. it finds that one-half, at least, of all the butter offered for sale in New York is composed chiefly of tallow oil, bone oil or lard oil. Out of thirty samples purchased by the committee in New York City only ten were genuine. No labels to distin- guish the bogus butter from the genuine are displayed for the information of the purchaser, although required by law. Forty million pounds of the villianous stuff are sold annually in the State, the bulk of which is manufactured in Chi- eago or other western cities. The loss to the state is estimated at from five to ten million dollars yearly, while the profit to the manufacturers and dealers in the bogus article is enormous, they sell the stufl at prices varying from twenty-five to forty-five cents per pound, while its cost averages only fourteen cents, The New York commitiee reccom- mended an entire prohibition of the manufacture of the bogus butter and that officials to inforce the act be chosen from men engaged in the genuine dairy inter ests, “WHERE I8 MY BOY TO-NIGHT?” The following chapter of the wicked ways of boys, a two weeks’ crop, needs no comment, further than that every pa- rent should know where his boy is at night : : In New York three boys aged eleven years, caught another boy and in high wayman's style threw him on his back and robbed him of a silver watch and gold chain. At Millersburg, Pa, a few nights ago, Henry Hornhold, a peddler, was driving from Schuylkill county he was stopped by three armed and masked highway- men and commanded to disgorge. The party rifled his pockets of $000 and a gold watch. Henry Emholts, 16 years old, was arrested while trying to sell the gold watch in a jewelry store at Liver- found upon him, and he confessed he and two others had agreed to rob peddler, but stoutly refused to give the names of his partners. Suspicion rected against two of his co named respectively Luther Mart ie Briere AI mounted revolvers, a number of actress- es’ photographs and several dime novels. They stated that Emholtz had instigated the crime and that he intended taking them to Idaho if his plan proved suc- cessful. In New York after midnight, the oth- er Tuesday, a daring gang of six burglars met on the sidewalk and hatched a scheme to raid a show window. The eldest of the gang was Samuel Bradley, 12 years old; two were aged 11 years, and two others each nine vears old, most of them barefooted. Bradley and irady had been to Harry Miller's Thea- tre and were on their way home when they met the other boys. Michael Lynch would not remain home when his moth- er told him, and she put him out of the house and told him not to return, He fell in with the gang. The six little burg- lars stood in a line before Justice Patter. son at Jefferson Market next morning. They were tearful and sobbing. The oldest only was tall enough for the mag- istrate to see without leaning over the desk. The “Jesse James Gang,” composed of seven young boys belonging to the Cod- dington School, were brought before the Quincy Court on several charges of burg- lary. They said they were led into crime by reading dime novels. It came out during the hearing that another gang of boys belonging to another school had been organized under the name of “Billy the Kid Gang” for the purpose of robbing dwellings in the town. Tom O'Neill, aged eighteen years, of Pottsville, shot and instantly killed Pat- ric McAnany, fourteen years old, at Coal Castle, a mining patch, At Cape May George Grace, a boy of eighteen, was charged at the Court-house with having poisoned his father, mother, two sisters and two brothers with rat poison. In New York Henry Miller, seventeen years old, was arraigned at Jefferson Market for assaulting his parents. He was sent to the work-house for six months. His brother Stephenson, eigh- teen years old, a few days later was sent to the same place for the same length of time for a similar offense. A gang of fifteen boys from twelve to sixteen years old was arrested in South Boston and three of the leaders were held for examination. Their thieving raids were planned in an old cellar they called their den. They had a peculiar language, known only to members of the gang, and for an hour mystified the offi. cer at the station with their conversa tion. Three gangs of boy burglars are re- ported ; one in South Boston, another in Salem and a third in Lowell. Of the South Boston gang ten have been arrest ed, all between ten and sixteen years of age. These gangs had organized them- selves into the Fitz Club and fitted ur headquarters in a cellar, The leader of the gang is a boy of fifteen, who was com- mitted for two years but was released at the expiration of a year. The boys call ed their leader “Billy the Kid.” In Baltimore it has been discovered that four boys, whose ages range from fifteen to eighteen years, are leaders of their district bands of an organized gang whose business it was to rob stores and dwelling houses and freight cars, They had about 20 members at their meeting place, a lonely house along the line of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, was discovered. It was found all nicely equipped inside for domestic purposes and was occupied by several fe- male companions of the boys. At Camden Harry Farrell, ten years old, shot Charles McGovern, 11 years old, Both attendants of of St. Mary's Paroch ial School. The boys were in the play- ground of the school, and Farrell, getting | angry at his companion, pointed the pis tol and fired. bia The Clearfield coal operators posted a notice that on April the prices of min- ing would be reduced from 50 to 40 cents per ton of 2.240 pounds, and all other wages on the same basis. A majority of the miners shy they will not accept this reduction unless the operators will pay twice a month, make a ton 2,000 pounds net, as the law directs, and do away with store orders. Unless the operators con- cede this a long and determined strike is probable, 1" John Bherman can now investigate the fearful riot in the northern city of Cincinnati, an account of which will be found in another column.

Thirteen counties were represented by twenty-six delegates, The convention was called to action concern- ing the alleged grievances that colored people complain of and to elect delegates to the national colored convention that meets in Pittsburg, The city hall, where the sessions of the convention were held, was filled with white and colored citi- zens. The committee on resolutions re- ported a series of nineteen resolutions. In these resolutions they condemn the republican party for not suppressing the “shotgun of the south.” A delegate from one of the southern created great excitement by declaring that the colored voter, as a rule, is not fit to be trusted, for he will sell his franchises to the highest bidder. A resolution was adopted, “that we hereby renounce all alliances to the republican party and will hereafter vote as one with the party that aids us the most; that we demand of congress that laws be passed to protect white hearts under black skins in South Carolina as well as in Massachusetts.” - - counties All the reports of Tilden's bad health are unfuonded. In reference to the re marks concerning his health, made by a reporter of the “Patriot” by the Becreta- ry of the Commonwealth, W. E, Stenger, Mr, Tilden says: . “The other day a former member of congress from Pennsylvania, who is now connected with Governor Pattison's ad. ministration, in that state, called to see me, He is a warm political friend of mine, and I talked to him freely. In a few days an account of his visit was published which was filled with many errors. Why, he said, I was weak, emaciated and par- alyzed; that my frame was fleshless and that the skin hung loosely to my bones,” said the old gentleman, smiling. “In fact 1 am nearly as fleshy as ever | was. I weigh 127 pounds, which has been my normal weight for years. It is about what I weighed when 1 was gov- ernor. 1 never weighed over 140 in my life.” GREAT RIOT IN CINCINNATL Many Killed and Wounded. A terrible riot was started nati on last Saturday morning.
