THE advocates of land reform, says an

propagation of their doctrines in the last
Domesday Book, which has lately been
issued. It appears from the statistics that
one hundred men own in the aggregate
3,852,000 acres, or something more than
one-tenth of tha whole area of England
and Wales. In a population of twenty
millions of people in England and Wales
considerable less than one million are
house owners, and of this number seven
hundred thousand own small lots of less
than one acre each. The rental of lands
in eleven counties ranges from one pound
eight shillings to two pound 'an acre per
year, though in some of the other counties
it is less. In England one parson in every
twenty is a landowner and ono in every
twenty-five in Scotland. Land reform in
England, however desirable it may be,
is impracticable under the present laws of
primogeniture. It is an impossibility un
der the law which makes the oldest son
the successor of estates and dignities. The
facts, though, which are brought out by
such a shadow as England makes, are of
the highest importance here. Those facts
should indicate how our public domain
should be used. They should warn our
senators and congressmen against the dan
gers of laid monopolies.-
THE Board of Centennial Commission•
ers have resolved to close up the Exhibi
tion on Sundays. This we regard as a
grand mistake. It is the usual pandering
of the truculent politician to the arrogant
demands of Affluence, Bigotry, Intolerance,
and Superstition. The object of the Ex
hibition, if we understand it, is to enlight
en, to ennoble, to ex-alt, and by this action
those who should be the most benefitted
will be, in a sense, excluded. The com
mon people, the laborer and his family,
always severely pressed for time and means,
cannot bear an expense of ten or fifteen
dollars, and the loss of time required, made
necessary by this edict, to examine
this immense. Exhibition. It will require
from five to ten days to see all that is to
be E2CII. It' the Exhibition were kept
open on Sundays at least half a million of
persons, in reduced circumstances, living
within a radius of fifty or sixty miles of
Philadelphia, would be able to visit it who
otherwise may be entirely unable to see it.
Sunday is accepted through out christen
dom as "the poor man's day," and the
Centennial Commissioners should have met
this class half way by throwing open the
buildings and redueing the fare to twenty
five cents. The result would be that those
who frequent , street-corners, bar-rooms,
loafing places, beer gardens, parka, and a
thousand times worse resorts, would find
their way to the Exhibition and learn that
which would profit them throughout their
lives and their children after them. We
hope that the Board of Commiesionerswill
reconsider their action, and that Progress
and Intelligence will triumph over the
Bigotry, Intolerance and Superstition band
ed down to us from the Dark Ages.

To bring about more uniformity the Leg

MAY 5, IS7i;
TUE Republic Magazine for May is one
of the strongest numbers yet issued. The
opening paper, "Crippling the National
Government," is a trenchant review of the
retrenchment policy of the Democratic
majority in the House of Representatives.
An interesting paper on General Jackson
will command attention. One of the most
useful articles in the number relates to the
Civil Service force, its extent and charac
ter of employment. It is the first complete
analysis we have seen given. There are a
number of able articles, each bearing on
some live political topic. Economists will
be interested in the paper. On "Labor
in the United States"—in its relations to
Free Trade and Protection, as also in a
well stated historical review of the Cur
rency, and of Banks and Banking in our
own country. This magazine, while vig
orously Republican in tone, succeeds ad
mirably in its efforts to present political
issues in an impersonal and pleasing man-
WE are led to believe, unless some ex
traordinary efforts are made by the rail.
road companies, that there will not be half
the number of persons visit the Centennial
that has been heretofore anticipated. We
hear a uniform complaint that the expense
is entirely too great. The fare ought not
to exceed half.the usual charges and re
duction should even then be made for
whole families.
TUE only visible evidence of political
life, in this Congressional district, comes
to us from Franklin county, where two
Congressional candidates have been fully
developed. Everything is quiet in this
county, but there is sufficient feeling be
neath the visible surface to indicate that
u3less some things are fixed up there will
not be much chance for any Republican
candidate in this district.
Supposed Suicide in Altoona.
A YOUNG MAN FOUND DEAD IN A STONE
QUARRY.
There was a great excitement in Altoo
na, on Saturday, over the finding of the
dead body of a young man named Earnest
Plack, in a stone quarry, on the outskirts
of the city, about a quarter of a mile from
his father's residence. A boy named Gal
way had gone to the vicinity of the quarry
to cut sods, and observing the body, sup
posed the party to be drunk and asleep.
Galway was soon after accosted by a boy
employed in Pluck's store, who inquired
if he had seen Earnest flack. Galway
replied that he had not, but told about the
drunken man in the quarry. He went to
the place indicated, and recognized the
body at once. He spread the dreadful
news, and in a short time the father and
one of the brothers of the deceased were
on the ground, bending over the lifeless
remains. An examination developed the
fact that death bad been caused by a pis
tol shot, which entered the chest near the
left nipple, and penetrated the point of the
heart. The deceased was only eighteen
years of age, and was of good character
and of exemplary habits. Why he should
commit suicide is a mystery, and yet the
facts and circumstances have little room to
doubi that he died by his own act. There
were powder marks on his clothing, which
show that the weapon was close to the
body when the shot was fired. There was
no indication of a scuffle, and the contents
of the pockets were undisturbed. A gold
watch, which the deceased owned, had
been left at home. A pistol, it is stated,
was picked up near where the body lay,
by a boy panted Morrow. who had been
there before Galway, and who, thinking
the man was, drunk, and might, wake up
and do some harm with the weapon, took
it away. Discovering afterwards that the
man had been shot, Marrow took fright
and threw into a privy—but although
search was made for it, it was not found.
There is no doubt, however, that the boy
tells the truth. It is not likely that any
person, intending to murder young Plack,
could have induoed him to go to that lo
cality at that hour of the night; but it
was just such a spot as he would have se
lected had he been contemplating suicide.
He was at a auinstrel perforwace on Friday
evening, but it was observed that he did
not enjoy the entertainment, his mind be
ing seemingly absorbed with something
else. He left the hall about half' past ten
o'clock, and was last seen a few minutes
afterwards, talking to a large man on the
street. Many of his friends seem strongly
impressed with the belief that be was mur
dered, but the circumstances point to a
different conclusion. There are various
stories afloat, tending to exhibit a motive
for the act, the most plausible of which is
that the young man had been crossed in
love, and had taken his disappointment
greatly to heart. ,An inquest was to have
been held Saturday evening, the result of'
which has not reached us.

The Wiiiiamsport Fire.
T. iA.. Apri! 29. --
ten ~'ciock night an incendiary lire
was started in the heart of the lumber dis

localities. The flame shot up rapidly and

twenty five miles distant. Mayor
Starkweather, after a hurried consultation
with the chief and foreman of the fire de
partment, at once decided to ask assistance
from abroad and he immediately telegraph
ed to Lock Haven, Sunbury and Watson,
town,
The fire was started on the extreme
northwestern corner of the ground occu
pied by Ranstead & Flynn By the time
the steamers and hose carts arrived the
flames had gained a headway that could
not have been checked by four times as
many steamers as our fire department con
sists of. For a long time the fire worked
upon the piles of lumber belonging to
Ranstead & Flynn. Tremendous but
fruitless efforts were made to stay its pro
tress at Maynard street, the dividing line .
between Ranstead & Flynn's piling ground
and that used by Maynard & Co. The
flames swept fiercely across Maynard street
and licked up the huge piles of lumber in
spite of the immense amount of water that
was thrown upon them. After vainly
striving to
confine the flames to the piles
then burning, the firemen took up a posi
tion on Maynard street leading into the
new bridge. Here a space of thirty feet
intervened between the piles, and it was
thought that by placing boards endways
against the piles on the lower side of the
street the course of the fire might be
checked. To this point the firemen di
rected their attention, and for about twen
ty minutes struggled manfully with vttry
ing snccess, and were then cempelled tc
abandon their position and fly for their
lives, as the surging billows bounded over
the vacot space and lapped up the piles
on the lower side of the street. One posi
tion after another was taken only to be
aboned as the dreadful enemy swept for
ward. After the fire reached the lumber
piles below G. W. Maynard & Co's mill it
seemed as if nothing but want of fuel
would suffice to check it. A large amount
Of lumber on the north side of the rail
road was now in einuaieent peril. But by
a providential change in the wind it was
saved. Every hope of checking the fire
west of Campbell street was abandoned,
and at twelve o'clock there were acres of
burning lumber. Fortunately the wind,
which changed to the south at twelve
o'clock, had not changed up to one o'clock.
Piles of lumber in every direction appar
ently were on fire. As it approached the
canal, where the Williamsport furniture
company had a number of piles of valua
ble lumber, men went to work at saving
as much as possible by pitching it into
the canal. But the time allowed them
for this work was very brief and they were
compelled to retreat without accomplish
ing a great deal. Onward to Campbell
street the flames swept, and here there was
nothing for them to feed upon, the open
space being sufficient to prevent them leap
ing to the lumber on the east side. At
two o'clock the Lock Haven engine com
pany arrived and at once hurried to the
scene, but were too late to render any as
sistence, as at that hour the fire had spent
its strength and
.was under control. At
bout the same time the Watsontown and
Sunbury fire companies arrived. It is es
timated that 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 feet
of pine lumber were burned. The heav
iest losers are Herdic & Maynard, about
3,000,000 feet; Ranstead & Flynn, sever
al million ; Thos. Tozier, 1,500,000 ; Hub
bard & Mangey, 200,000; and 100,000
shingles belonging to an Elmira firm. The
loss is pretty well covered by insurance.

The Diamond King's Wedding.
Recollections of the Albany Journal's
famous account of the wedding of De
Sonza Cabral, of Diamentina, Brazil, was
revived recently by the'return ofapackaffe
of G 45 dead letters from Brazil to the
post office in this city, all directed to that
fictitious individual. The writer of the
story conceived the laudable idea of ob
taining possession of these letters through
the agency of the postmaster at Albany,
but he has been bitterly disappointed, as
appears from a letter from Postmaster
Jewell, who writes :
_
"In reply, I have to say that while I
have no doubt that Mr. MeElroy's state
ment is true in every particular, it is im
possible to grant his request as-the letters
have all been opened in the Dead Letter
Office and returned to the writers. These
letters averaged twenty a week from the
New York office alone, and probably as
many more from the other exchange offices.
The writers represented every condition
in life, but while all parts of the Union
were well represented, the South furnished
the largest contingent.. With character.

were usually large, while in one instance

sum asked fur. Sons of aged and infirm

of the writers, and wish they could tell
them to place wore reliance upon their
own efforts than upon the liberality of
others. I give you these particulars for
the benefit of Mr. McElroy, and have only
to add that these letters could not have
been delivered to him under any circum
stances, as the law requires that in case
the party addressed cannot be found, the
letters shall be returned to the writers.—
It so happened iu this case that the ad
