PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS,
Thieves have been making themselves at
home in Berks County lately, Near Huff's
Church they visited the farms of Augustus
Reinert, J, D. Reifanyder and Willlam Reln-
art, stealing clothing, vinegar, chlckens,
eatables and many other things, At Plow-
ville they broke into the cellar of Bamusel
Lebo and took all they could lay their hands
upon, They also broke into A. J. Derr's
wheelwright shop and Mr, Mack's black-
smith shop at Niantick. Himmelwright
Brothers' mills near by were entered. The
thieves used powder ln an attempt to blow
open the safe. The safe door was wrecked,
but before they could abstract any money
they were frightened off by Jacob Huber,
who heard the report.
Charles Cammings , of Pittston, a young
married man, employed as a laborer, made
an unsuccessful attempt to commit sulcide
by hanging himself. He worked all day
and shortly after went to an outhouse, put a
rope around his neck and stepped off a box,
his feot nearly touching the floor, His wife
heard his moans and called Belba Wagner,
who lives next door. Mr. Wagner cut the

NO UNIVERSAL STAMP.
The Postal Congress Decides Not to Adopt
One The Outing of the Delegates,
A despatch from Washington, says: The
movement to secure the adoption of a uni-
versal postal stamp by the Postal Congress
has collapsed. There were too many diffi
culties (the chief being that of currency
fluctuations) in the way of adopting such a
stamp, and the general committee, after con
sidering the subject briefly, abandoned it as
impracticable, and will make an adverse re-
port to the Congress,
Although the proposition that each county
transport free of charge through mails has
not yet come before the Congres, it seems
practically certain that it will be defeated.
Persia submitted the proposition, and itis
favored by the delegates of the United States
and some of the South American sountries,
but the European States, headed by Bei-
glum, which obtains large profits under the
present system, are opposed to it, and its
advooates will be outvoted.
The committee had before it a proposition
{0 give the British colonies in South Africa
(Natal, Cape Colony, &c.)a consolidited
vote in future congresses, but ss Great
Britain already has several votes through her
colonies (Canada, New Houth Wales, New
Zealand, &e¢.), the proposition was warmly
antagonized by the representatives of

MASSACRED BY THE TURKS,
Heports of Horrible Atrocities to
Greeks In the Villages of Epirus,
The Athens correspondent of the London
Dally Ceronicle says:
“M. Ralli, the premier, showed me dis-
patches aud reports from Colonel Manos and
various civil authorities in Epirus, stating
that fourteen villages between Toulour and
Kastrosykia have been burned by the Turks,
after all the women and obildren had been
massacred, except a few who hid in the fast
nesses of Mount Zalongos, famous during
the war of Independence, and a few more
who concealed themselves in the marches
along the shore and finally managed to get
aboard the Greek ships, half dead with han-
gor and fear,
“Not a stone of the village of Kamarina is
the
defense of tha women, who sought refuge in
the woods and caves of Mount Zalongos,
and, when chased by the Turks, jumped
from preciploes w avoid capture and dis.
hohor.”
