Vigorous of body and abounding in high spirits, he depended mere en qulekness of perception and a ro re ro tentlve memory than piofeund study for his acquirements. It was no uncommon thing for him te master the lessens of the day us he took his Journey en horseback from his bearding house te the academy, a trip of two miles. When the new of the burning of the capltel at Washington reached Harrisburg, public exeitcinent rose tehlgh water mark. Francis R. Skunk, who was then a land olllce clerk, gathered together a drum, life and Hag, and marched his reriultlng band through the streets.

A Yeung Man Supposed te Hare Drewaed Himself. .The Berks county coroner has hed a force engaged all Thursday afternoon In dredg ing the Schuylkill river and canal at Head ing, for the body of a supposed suicide. The search was caused by the discovery of a coat, shoes, hat arid bottle of laudanum en the river bank Thursday morning, with several letters Indicating that one O. 8. Shearer had committed suicide. Several names were mentioned In the letters, but the coroner has w Ithheld them until the case has been fully Investigated, In ene of the pockets of the coat was found a Philadelphia A Reading railroad ticket, purchased Slay 11, for one pnssage betwecu Slaikayuuk and Bridgeport, also a "teacher's ticket." The laudanum bottle bore the laliel of "Beale A Ijunbert, drug gists, Philadelphia." The articles found arc supposed te have'belenged te Oscar H. Shearer, who came te Reading from Lan caster county, and .who was a clerklna Philadelphia store afle time. He was married at Mahhclm a short time age, te a young woman named Ida Leeds. She was olteut 30 years of age. His age is given at 2S, ami he Is described as of slender build, pale complexion and lame. In one of the letters Shearer intimates that his wife has been unfaithful te him, and that his home has been broken up. It has Iksjii ascertained that when Shearer left Slanhelm with his bride he proceeded te Philadelphia, where he was a clerk in a store. In a long letter addressed te his mother Shearer speaks or having been duped badly in his marriage, and that he Wprempted by a superior power te lieceme his own destroyer filly divorces would net heal the wound w hlch he has sustained, and that the last heard or his wife alie was at the Washington heuse, PIkcuIxvIIIe." The letter centinues: ' " I Irnve tried every conceivable way te clear my mind from the shock, but that black, demoniac spirit annoyed me till life and its Internst have entirely faded away nrem me, ana rather than be the that cultivates endless sin and disgrace I preferred death u thousand times, and tho'enly way that gives me relief is te snap the tle that binds me te earth and go te that blessed abode where they neither marry nor are given in marriage, where life shall coma out of death and Jey out of sorrow, us Ged commanded. A terrible medita tion when heart is linked te heart and afterwards turned Inte u plaything with every touiptatlen woven around the heart. " The writing is that of an educated man. Thorewasno trace of nervousness about the letters, the wtltcr having ovidently geno coolly ubeur his pretentiens for Jumping into eternity. Footprints in the sand en the tow path of the canal were found, which had the uppoarance of having been made by a man iu his bare feet. Superintendent Smith was asked by the coroner for permission te draw off the canal, but replied that the company was net in the habit of doing that, although he did net say they would rofuse In case it was thought necessary. After unsuccessfully searching unlit nearly midnight for the Ixxly of Shearer, the coroner's party discontinued operations until Friday morning, when the Schuylkill canal will be drawn plT-tfluperiutcndeiit Smith finally consented that this should lie done. Ida Leeds, the woman te whom Shearer was recently married, comes from Slan helm, where her mother new lives, but she Is as well knew u iu Luncaster us there. She lived here for considerable tlme within the past three years and worked Iu cigar factorles most or the time. She ami lier husband lived together for a tlme ever a grecery ster at 2.'i0 North Eleventh street, Philadelphia, but they led anything but a happy llfe. The husband applied for a dlvoree, but his wife's lawyer steppod pro ceedings by show Ing that he had no case, iiihearer, it Is said, had been for some time separated from his wife, and the latter, a few months age, took a situation at the Washington hotel, riuenlxvllle, as cook. Her husband found out her address and called upon her. It Is net known what passisl between them, but Sirs. Shearer is credited with saying that Oscar wanted her loge back and II ve with him, and shu uusw ored that If he could provide a proper home she might consider thu matter. Shearer, it is alleged, left the hotel In high dudgeon, ut tering saviige threats, and that was the last seen or heard or him tending the dis covery or Thursday. It Is belleved by many that Shearer has net taken his llfe but Is merely trying te frighten his w Ife. ODD FELLOWS ADJOURN. The Grand Ledge In Held Its Nuxt He- slen In I'lttsliui'iz.
