SUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT MAIL nODBEIIY. —When the early mall train from Philadel phia arrived at the depot on Saturday ?flora mg last,. the mail car was &Ind to be locked up, and no noise which could be made was sufficient to elicit any answer from the occupant. The train passed on to Harrisburg without leaving any mall matter for this office. The pouch or box containing the mail matter for Lancaster was returned to this office from Harrisburg, and the hasp of the look was found to be filed through. Whether any letters were removed is not known. Business letters came safe to hand, as we are inforbed by some of our bankers and others, without any appearance of having been tampered with. The whole affair looks mysterious, and the conjecture has been started that some one obtained admittance to the mail car and drugged the route agent so that when the train stopped at Lancaster he was in an insensible condition. The matter is undergoing investigation and will no doubt be cleared up in a day or two. SUPPOSED HOUSE TUIEP AMU:STE:D.- 0n Monday a man arrived in this city about 8 o'clock and put up fur the night at Victor 'Sesser's, in East King street, Ho was driving a dark bay mare about six years old, and had a double seated carriage, silver mounted, with oil cloth curtains, which were lined with green cloth.

Volunteer soldiers are admitted upon application by biller to either et' the managers, or at the branch asylnin nearest to their place of residence; whereupon blank applications will be sent lu the applicant, and, it duly qualified, transportation will be furnished him. The requirement. for candidate. art): First, An honorable dimeharge from the V6lUlltel.r vet•: lee Second. Disability by wounds received or sickness contracted in the line of duty. If the applicant Is unable to travel, or for other sufficient cause, relief will be fur ntslied under the direction of the mana gers, to whom application Is made. The overseers of all almshouses and clan•ity hospitals having disabled soldiers subsisting upon private beneficence are re• spectfully urged to report such cases to either of the malingers, ns it is not lit that meritorious disabled soldiers of the nation should be supported by private or public charity. Soldiers are especially informed that the asylums are neither hospitals nor almshouses, but homes where subsistence, care, education, religious instructions, and employment are provided for disabled sol diers by the Congress of the United States, to be paid for from the forfeitures and flues of deserters from the army. The provis ion is not a charity. It is a contribution by the bounty-jumpers and bud soldiers to the brave and deserving, and is their right. Soldiers havifig a wife, child or parent dependent upon them, are not required to give up their pensions upon coining to the asylum. Other soldiers are required to assign their pensions to the asylum in special cases only, to be determined by the board. Suitable compensation will be given for profitable labor in the asylum. Good be havior will insure the kindest treatment. Wives and children will not be cared for at the asylum, until after the soldier has shown by his a' 'lity to aid himself and them in part, by his labor and steadiness, that taking his family in charge will not in crease his expenses to the asylum above the cost of other helpless beneficiaries, in which cases provision will hereafter be made. General Benj. F. Butler is the president of the board of managers. ALEXANDER HARRis, Esq., is in receipt of a letter from Washington, informing him that he has been successful in secur ing the pardon of James M.

Rzetria,toau Courtnr cortvzsmori. — The Republican County Convention assembled in the Court House •at 111 o'clock on Wed nesday last. E. Etillingfelt, Esq., Clhairman of the County Committee, called the Con vention to order. The fonowing gentlemen were elected temporary Secretaries—E. E. Snyder, B. F. Rowe, Sam. Mat. Friday and J. H. Gilbert. For President of the Convention Dr. John Houston, oipalisbury, and Col. D. W. Pat terson, were put in nomination. The list of Delegates being called over the county was found to be quite fully repre sented, most of the districts answering when called. Some half dozen or so were unre presented. The first fight between the con tending factions was made upon the elec tion of permanent President of the Con vention, Dr. John Houston being the Thug or Brubaker candidate, and Col. D. W. Patterson the candidate of the legitimate or Examiner party. Ou motion of Oen. J. W. Fisher, the dele gates present from each district were au thorized to cast the vote of the district as if fully represented. During the taking of the vote there was considerable excitementin-ie Convention, a grey-headed and obstinate delegate from Coleruin persisting in making a speech at several points. He declared he was resolv ed " to stand by the laws and the constitu tion of his country," but was politely in formed that he had got into the wrong party for that sort of thing. The Secretaries reported that they agreed in their tallies and the result was announced to be for Patterson 119, for Houston 73. Col. D. W. Patterson was thereupon declared to be the permanent President of the Con vention, on taking the Chair Col. Patter son made it few brief remarks, congratu lating the Convention on the harmonious manner In which the result had been at. talned,unti ex preesingaLopethatharmony and good feeling might prevail throughout. The Socreturlem numcd were continued as permanent of iceru of the Convention, and the following gentlemen wore chosen Vice Presidents: Isaac Buehong, JOllllB Lauber, Alllotl Henderson, Capt. Evans, thiorge Pownall, Francis Sbroder and Benjamin Erben. On motion of Elwood Grelst a committee of nine was appointed to draft resolutions, S. A. Wylie moved that all resolutions relating to platform be referred to the committee on the platform. E. Billingfelt, Esq., objected to this mo tion and asked that the following preamble and resolutions be rend, which was done by the Secretary : Wilt:mins, It is manifest that the masses of the Republican party of Lancaster county desire a change in the manner of nomi nating candidates for office; and WherouN, Thu only practicable change that can be made to meet with their views and wishes, is to draft a system (In lieu of the present one) sunnier to that in opera tion in Crawford and other counties of the State, whereby the nominations are made by a direct vote of the people instead of by delegates chosen to a County Convention. And Whereas, It is proper that for nomina tions for the Legislature the county of Lan caster be divided Into two Senatorial and four Representative districts; and Whereas, When the present system of nominating candidates for office was adopt ed, a resolution was passed " That the sys tem (now in force) should not be altered except by a resolution passed by at County Convention," Therefore be it Resolved, By the delegates in Republican County Convention assembled, in confor mity with the rules and regulations of the party, and in compliance with the well known and expressed wishes of the people composing the .Republican party in the county of Lancaster, that the Republican County Committee, be and the MUM) are hereby instructed to change the mode or runner of nominating candidates for of lice, from the present system, to that com monly known as the " Crawford County System" by which candidates are nomina ted by a direct vote of the people. Resolved, The County Committee be and the same are hereby instructed to issue the call for the neat County Convention in ac cordance with said system, as proposed in the foregoing resolutions. Resolved, ' That the County Committee be and the same are hereby instructed to di vide the county into two Senatorial and four Representative districts upon an equi table basis for the nomination of candidates for the Legislature in the same, in accord ance with the system proposed In the fore going resolution. Resolved, That in order to facilitate the labors of the County Committee In carrying out the foregoing resolutions, the Chairman of this Convention shall appoint a commit tee of live who shall prepare a plan and division of the county into two Senatorial and four Representative districts, and re port the same at one time to the next meet• ing attic County Committee for final action thereon, said plan and division to be pub lished by the Chairman of the Committee In all the Republican newspapers of the county at least two weeks belore the meet ing of the County Committee. thkorge Whitson moved that the resolu tion be referred to the Committee on Reso lutions. Major R. W. Shenk opposed this motion and contended that the Convention itself, representing the party as it did, was the . proper place to settle the:question, He was replied to by S. A. Wylie, who contended that the present Convention be ing culled for a specific purpose had no authority delegated to it by the people to do anything more than to select delegates to the coming State Convention. Hon. Esaius Billingfelt replied, defend ing the resolution, of which he acknowl edged himself to be the author. He con tented that the delegates present, coming as they did direct from the people, had the right to direct to County Committee to change the system of selecting candidates. Ho charged that the old system had been corrupted until it had come to pass that a lbw tricksters and wire pullers controlled the nominations of the party. At the conclusion of Mr. Billingfeles speech, there was considerable excitement, several delegates insisting upon speaking at once, and the grey headed Scotch Irish man from Coleraln, holding forth ou his own hook to the amusement of all hands. There being no prospect of an immediate settlement of the disorder, on motion of R. W. Shenk, Esq., the Convention ad journed to 'nest. at 21 o'clock. Afternoon Session,—The Convention re• convened at 21 o'clock, P. M. The follow ing gentlemen were appointed a Committee on Resolutions: Elwood Greet, Jacob F. Fry, G. W. Mehaffey, R. W. Shenk, Samuel Evans, George Whitson, E. M. Kline, Dr. J. M. Dunlap, E. Billingfelt. The resolution offered by Mr. Billingfelt in relation to the method of making nom inations were referred to the committee. On motion the Convention proceeded to ballot for delegates to the State Convention with the following result: 0. J. Dickey George Brubaker John M. Stehman 1 , red k . Myers 144 Joseph Pownall 119 Jacob F. Fry 166 Maris Hoopes 108 W. K. Seltzer 88 G. W. Mebaffey 73 A. H. Hood 40 The first six gentlemen named were announced as delegates elected. Mr. Elwood Greist, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions reported the following series of resolutions Resolved, That the Republican party of Lancaster county, heartily endorse the measures adopted by Congress in reference to the Reconstruction of the late rebel States, believing them to be founded on justice, sound policy, and true Republican principles. Resolved, That the passage of the Military Reconstruction bill meets our most cordial approbation, giving protection as it does to the loyal people of the South, by depriving of political power the leading enemies of the government, and by conferring on all classes of loyal'men the right of the elective franchise. Resolved, That the foundations of our Government are based on the principles of eternal justice, and we would be false to those principles, false to our past history, false to the memory of our brethren who have died on a hundred battlefields in the contest with human slavery, were we to sanction any measure of reconstruction not based on the principle of the equality of all men before the law. Resolved, That a Government which neg lects to make provisions for the losses of its citizens through a causeless rebellion, is basely negligent of its duty; we recognize it as the paramount duty of Congress to enact at once such laws as will confiscate and apply the property of leading and wealthy rebels to the payment of the dam age so inflicted. Resolved, That the course of Hon. Thad deus Stevens in Congress half fully met the expectation of his party, and the wise statesmanship displayed by him in his efforts to restore a rescued country upon the principles of justice, equality and right, entitle him to the sincere gratitude of all his fellow-citizens. Resolved, That the Republican party of Lancaster; iiaunty, in Coniention assem bled, present to the people of the• State the 'name of Hon. Thomas E. Franklin - as their choice for the bench of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and instruct thli'delettes for the State Convention to use every on orable means to securable nomination. . The above resolutions,. together With the resolutions relating to changing the method of making nominations were adopted by a large majority, and the Convention then adjourned sine die. THE following is the committee of five appointed by Col. Patterson, the Chairman of the Republican Convention to draw up the plan for the new organization of that party : E. Billingsfelt, Adamstown bor.; Sam'l Evans, Columbia bor. ; B. C. Kready, City; Nath'l Mayer, Drumore ; Dr. J. M. Dunlap, Manhelm bor. FARMERS' TAKE NOTICE.—An intelligent farmer in the neighborhood of Paradise in forms us that he has been carefully noticing the movements of a certain insect. which abounds in the wheat fields this year.— About twenty minutes before sundown, a small orange colored fly may be seen rising up by myriads all through the wheat fields. It is about one quarter of an inch in length, and shaped much like the dragon fly. It settles upon the heads of the wheat, and can be seen piercing the chaff with its ex tremity, which is shaped something like that of a locust. For a second or so it re mains stationary, as if laying an egg.— Whether it is the insect which deposits the egg which produces the red weevil or wheat midge is a question of much interest to farmers. Let them keep a look-out for these insects, and note their habits. It would be well for scientific agriculturists to ex amine the matter carefully. "EmnEn DAY" (Wednesday, June 12) portended a damp, cloudy quarter. Our readers in this latitude will remember that Wednesday was cloudy in the morning, and that in the afternoon wo bad a heavy rain. According to the soothsayers, this portends a wet season, much rain for the next three months. Make a note of it and test the superstition. CHESTER COUNTY NEws.—We clip the following items from the Jeffersonian: Two new bands of music have been or ganized in Waynesburg, Chester county. The Mite Society, connected with the Methodist Church of Penningtonville, con templates holding a Strawberry Festival and Fair in the Church, on Thursday and Friday, the 20th and 21st inst. The music will be by the Parkesburg Orchestra. We learn that Mr. Samuel Wynn, of East Nantmeal township, while engaged in prying stone on Monday last, accidentally slipped, and falling backwards, struck his head upon a stone, from which injury he shortly died. The premises of David N. Stucker and Henry Ludlam, in Lower Merlon, near Gulf Mills, wore entered on Friday night, May 31st, and robbed of hams, lard, boots, clothing and every thing of value on the first floors and collars, and what is most strange none of the inmates ili , covered the theft until morning. There will be a grand basket pie-nic on the Public Parade Ground, on the 4th of July. It is in the hands of the young men of Westchester and other parts of the county. All the bands of music in the county will be present, and a good time generally is expected. On Tuesday last Oliver Sidwell, Esq., of this Borough, visiting Philadelphia, put up at the Bingham House, and on leaving in the afternoon, received what he supposed to be his valise, from the clerk. About the time Mr. S. reached Media, ho was tele graphed that he had got the wrong valise. He returned an answer, but somehow it did not reach the parties. The hotel keeper discovered who Mr. Sidwell was by finding his valise, and name on a coat. Mr. Sid well on arriving at home threw the valise in the corner of hls room, and at his usual hour retired to bed. About midnight he was aroused by a "tapping at his door," and soon found himself confronted by a city "Star." It was but the work of a moment to find the valise—thrown carelessly aside in disappointment,—which, on opening, was found to contain some ten thousand dollars in money and government bonds. The Downingtown Journal relates the following singular circumstance On Monday last as Mr. James Jones, who resides just outside the borough limits, was digging on the side of the road for the pur pose of setting a gate-post, the spadestruck on a piece of wood, which bad the appear ance of being a box, and which caused him to think of buried treasure; so he perse vered in his digging until be bad got the box entirely clear, where he raised it to the surface and opened it, which was found to contain some twenty gold coins, about the size of the " eagle," a number of silver coins, and some articles of jewelry. The coins are dill over one hundred years old, and the jewelry Is of the most antique pattern. Mr. Jones has lived on the place for forty years, and he is confident they wore not placed there in his time. Just before coming to the box a pair of scissors and what had been an old fashioned needle cushion were found, which would lead to the supposition theta woman had something to do with the hiding. The box is made of walnut, and is put together with red cedar pins, instead of nails, and looks as though it was made many years before our time. Old coins have, on several occasions, been found near the spot where the gate is to hang, but no one can tell where they came from. • NEWS FROM THE LOWER Firm.—Weelip the following from the Oxford Press: For the last few weeks butter has been selling at our stores at the low price of ilf• teen cents per pound. A fair and festival for the benefit of the M. E. Church at Penningtouville, will be held in Muloue's warehouse on the after noons and evenings of Thursday and Fri day, June 20th and 21st. On Saturday last, Squire Hanna, Deputy Coroner of the county, hold an inquest over the body of a man found floating in the river near a place known as the Dry Saw Mill. The annual public commencement of the Chestnut Level Academy will take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday the 27th, 28th and 29th of June. With the ex ercises of these days the school will close until after the summer vacation. On the Ist lust., as A. H. Ingram of Lower Oxford, was driving home from North Nast, accompanied with his aunt, Mrs. Oliver, the horse stepped upon a stick which struck him and caused him to run. Mrs. Oliver suddenly seized the lines and pulled the horse to the side of the road, up• setting the buggy, throwing both out, and severely injuring her back, from which she has not recovered. A very extensive swindle has lately boon practiced by a couple of sharpers upon some fifty farmers in the neighborhood of Elkton, Md. The swindlers proposed to sell a wonderful labor-saving combined hay fork, dung fork and potato digger, tak ing the notes of their victims for $5O each, payable in one year,—the machines to be supplied by a party in Baltimore. On ob taining the notes the scoundrels sold them to some of the Elkton capitalists for one-half the amount, and cleared out with over sl2oo,—the farmers pretty soon after dis covering that they had been badly swindled. CAMP MEETING —TheMethodist Epis copal denominations of Lancaster and Col umbia, will hold a Union camp meeting, commencing on the Bth of August next, in Abram. Kauffman's woods, three fourths of a mile south of the Manheim station, on the Reading and Columbia railroad. TEE STAMP DUTY ON CANNED MEATS, —The following letter with regard to the stamp duty upon canned meats, &c., has just been made public: Office Internal Revenue, Washington June 4.—Sir—ln reply to your letter of the 3d instant, I have to say that the act of July 13, 1866, imposed a stamp duty upon canned meats, fish, shellfish, fruits, vegetables, sauces, syrups, prepared mustard, and jams or jellies. The act of March 2, 1867, exempts canned and preserved meats, shellfish, fruits and vegetables. The exemption does not include sauce, syrups, fish, prepared mustard, and jams or jellies. These articles are liable to stamp duty. Yours, respectfully, E. A. ROLLINS, Commissioner. THE BRETHREN.—A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes to that paper as follows, in relation to the denomination of Christians commonly called Dunkards or Tankers, who are so numerous in Lancas ter county : " Sir—l saw in yesterday's number a no tice of the Dunkards or Tunkers." We are known by those names, but have never ac knowledged either of them. Our denomi national name, as adopted by our order, is "The Brethren." We have never acknowl edged or adoptod any other name. The name Tunker was given us in deri sion, being the German of " dipper" (we baptize by triune immersion); and Dunk ard is a corruption of Tunker (dipper.). When a young man I tried to get Breth ren to change the nameto German Baptists or Nazarenes, or First-day Baptists, so as to have a name which might be acknowl edged by others ; but I did not succeed. I have always felt that it was claiming a good deal in asking elf other denominations to call us "The Bretigen," as of Friends to claim a term which belongs equally to all. And by claiming too much they and we, as a consequence, are nick-named." Hoithrikitaittroiourrn.a-the.

Messrs STUART, PETERSON di CO., Philadelphia, are the manu facturers. Beware of Intilalicma. The Crops and Business. The hopeful reports of the crops every where in this country, which have been echoed through the press during the past month, continue most decidedly encourag ing, and us the tact of an abundant harvest is gradually developing Itself beyond con jecturt, trade and business are commencing to feel the Impulse. From the South the indications at a bountiful harvest are bet ter than have ever been known for wheat, corn, cotton and tobacco, and from the Western, Middle and Northern States, the same is stated of wheat, corn and fruits.— From the grain-growing sections of Mary land and Virginia we have reports of a ri pening wheat harvest now nearly ready for the reaper, which is free from rust and full in the grain. The Virginia papers speak encouragingly of the tobacco crop, and the indication of briskness in the tobacco mar ket of that State are not wanting. In New York, also, our exchanges mention that the first consignment of new wheat from the South has reached that city, and add' that the Southern millers have made such con• tracts for tho new wheat that they will be able to sell handsome family flour in New York for thirteen dollars a barrel. The price of flour must tend downward under these circumstances, and if the present hope fulness is realized, living, in one most im portant respect, at least, will get cheaper. while trade must become brisker, for, with abundant crops every producer will have something to sell, and from the proceeds will purchase, on the other hand, or those things which he needs. Old scores will also be settled, and a general feeling of ease be more or less felt.—Baltimore Sun, Ontragepi in North Carolina An atrocious murder was committed In Lenoir county, N. C., on Thursday last, by a party of eight or ten men, supposed to he negroes. They went to the house of Mr. J. T. Miller, and finding Mrs. Miller in the room adjoining the kitchen, ordered her to go into the house, which she rot used to do, whereupon she was shot in the head by one of the party and instantly killed.

There has been compiled at the Bureau of Statistics an abstract of the reports of the examination of vessels having on board passengers other than cabin passe❑gors, which have arrived at the port of New York during the month of May, 1807, from which it appears that the total number of vessels examined was seventy-five, of which forty flve were steamships and thirty sailing vessels. The total number of passengers brought by them was thirty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninetyeight, of which twenty-one thousand five hundred and fourteen were males, and fourteen thousand four hundred and eighty-four were females. Several of the vessels examined brought more passengers than the law allows, and were reported to the Collector of the Port for prosecution. The largest number of passengers brought in any one vessel was on the American steamship Atlantic, which brought ten hundred and thirty-seven. bio:Dlntlnctlon of Color In Jurors The following is the order of Chief Justice Chase in reference to the selection of jurors: It being considered by the Court that all persons born and naturalized in the United States and residing in North Caro lina are citizens, entitled to equal rights under the laws, and therefore equally con cerned in the important advancement of justice, it is ordered that henceforth, in selecting grand and petit jurors, the Mar shals of the United States fbr the district of North Carolina make no distinction, on account of color or race, among citizens otherwise qualified to serve. Several colored citizens are now serving on the jury in the United States Court at Raleigh. President Johnson's Acceptance or the Mason's Invitation.

He loolut about , as he has been described, and apPeared to be quite cheerful. The Jury all answer ed to their names. The counsel for the prisoner stated to the Court that Surratt had exhausted all the . means at his command in preparing for his trial, and asked that he now be allowed to pro cure necessary witnesses at the cost of the United States, in accordance with the statute in such cases made and provided. The argument on this motion was post,. poned until later in the progress of the case. The prisoner having been formally ar raigned on Saturday afternoon, when he put in the plea of " Not guilty, Nathaniel Wilson, Esq., Assistant District At• torney, opened the case for the pros ecution. His statement of what the prosecution expected to prove was lengthy, but the main points were that Sur ratt was present at Ford's theatre, aiding and abetting Booth in the murder; ehat he was seen with Booth in front of the theatre only a few moments before the crime was com mitted; that he was the friend and habitual companion of Booth ; that he was a traitor to s his country and a spy upon the Govern ment, travelling regularly between Wash ington and Canada; that he made his home in Washington the rendezvous for the as sassins; that he it was who left the arms at Surrattville, of which Booth took possession in his flight ; that on the 10th of April, be ing then in Montreal he started on his re turn to Washington in compliance with a letter from Booth ; that be was in Wash ington on the fatal Friday, walking through Pennsylvania Avenue, booted and spurred ; that he bought the disguises in which Booth and Harold escaped ; and that not until the fatal blow was struck did he take to flight. Mr. Wilson also said they would trace the prisoner stop by step, from the hour of his flight until the hour of his arrest : and would prove that he bud expressed a wish that he could return and serve Andrew Johnson as Abraham Lin coln had been served; and that he had said to a companion, "I have done the Yankees us much harm us I could. We have killed Lincoln, the negroes' friend." Mr. Bradley, Sr., one of the counsel for the prisoner, said tne defence would reserve their opening remarks to the Jury. He called upon the prosecution to iurnish him with a list of witnesses summoned by them. To this the prosecution objected, and with out the question being decided by the court, the examination of witnesses for the pros ecution was begun. Surgeon General Barnes testified that he attended Mr. Lincoln professionally on the night of the 14th of Apr 11,1865 and remain ed with him until he died. He recognized a fragment of bone taken from the Presi dent's head ; also testified that a ball shown him resembled that taken from the head of the deceased. It was a ball for a pistol of the size shown. He at 'the time made a cut on the hall, but did not recognize it now (the ball being much discolored). James W. Wright, Chief Clerk in the Bu reau of Military Justice, testified to the identity of the ball, pistol and a package of pavers handed to him by Judge Holt. Lieut. Col. Rathbun, of Albany, who ac• companied President Lincoln to the theatre on the night of April 14, 1865, testified to the circumstances of the assassination. Col. Jos. B. Stewart also testified in re gard to the incidents of the assassination. Joseph Dye, a recruiting officer, testified that JohnSurratt, on the night of the 14th of April, 1865, was with Booth in front of Ford's Theatre, and three times hurried up Booth, saying the third time that it was ten minutes past 10 o'clock. The witness recognized the prisoner et the bar. Booth went into the theatre, and thewitnessjoined Sergt. Robert H. Cooper. They both proceeded to an oyster saloon, and before t heyh ad eaten their oysters heard of the murder of the President. The Court adjourned at 2. P. M. Latest by Telegraph ! WASHINGTON, Juno 18.—Withers is articularly anxious to be restored to the ayoralty of Mobile City. There are many e citing rumors as to the President's prob able action, but it cannot be learned that he has yet made orders in the premises. The publication of the Attorney General's opinion on the powers of the District Com manders, seem to convince a majority of Repulicans that a July session of Congress will be necessary. Every Republican news paper received hero from the North to-day, condemns the opinion and takes the ground that if the President acts in accordance therewith, a summer session must be held. The officers of Congress evidently think that there will be a session, as the work of putting both Chambers in complete order was began to-day. Hon. Benj. Wade, President of the Senate, and Speaker Coxfax of the House are expected here In about ten days. Commissioner Newton, of the Agricul- tural Bureau, is very sick at his residence, In this city, with typhoid fever and other complaints. His physicians say to-day that he cannot live thie week through, and may die in twehty-four hours. The Congressional Executive Commis sion now has fifteen speakers traversing the South in the interest of Republicanism, of whom two-thirds are colored men. By special telegram through the cable, dated Athens, Saturday, we are informed that Omar Pasha, the Turkish commander in Crete, had been signally defeated by the Christians, as had hie second In command, Mohammed Pasha.

In the Surratt trial to-day the ex amination of Sereeunt Joseph M. Dye was continued. The Cabinet has decided on the Opinion of Attorney General Stanbury that there shall be no reversal of the past action of the military commanders, but that in the future there must be no removal of State officers. Carnival of Blood in Cincinnati CINCINNATI, June 17-8 P. M.—There has been a high carnival of blood in this city and vicinity during yesterday and to-day —three suicides and two terrible murders. Back of Newport, in Campbell county, Ky., yesterday afternoon two brothers-in. law, Wm. Pyles and James Shaw, met in the saloon of Valentine Ribaldt and re• newed an old quarrel that had been brought about by Pyles calling his wife and Shaw's sister a prostitute. Shaw struck Pyles, and Pyles drew a revolver and fired five shots, three without effect, but the 4th and sth striking Shaw in the bowels and brains, killing him instantly. Pyles was arrested about 8 miles west of this city. Last evening a young man named John Betz, shot and killed a young woman of 18 years, named Sarah Klein, to whom he was engaged to be married. Betz was jealous and insulting in asking why another young man was permitted to visit. The girl became frightened and fled from him instantly from the yard to the house. He fired three shots at her as she ran, then pursued her into the house, and shot her fatally as she stood there by the side of her mother. The wretch then left the house, and with the remaining cartridge blew out his own brains. A German 52 years old, named T. Blei, hanged himself to a bed post with two silk handkerchiefs last night, at his house on Findlay street, breaking his neck. Diffi culty with his wife is supposed to have led to the suicide. M. of the Grand Mr. Britton Ross, a respectable citizens, a cabinetmaker by trade, and foreman by position,, threw himself into the river, and was drowned, early this morning. He had lost $5,000 by a failure, and had several times threatened to kill himself. PHILADELPHIA, Tune 18.—A distressing accident took place last evening. A gentle man; named Mitchell Graham, while play ing with a pistol, which he supposed was unloaded, for the amusement of his child, accidently shot his wife while she was in an adjoining room, inflicting a dangerous wound. Her recovery is considered doubt ful. This morning, between three and four o'clock; a row occurred at the house of Thomas Holland, on Front street, below Walnut. The fighting became general among the inmates of the house, and all were more or less bruised.. . . . A. woman, known as York Annie, was thrown out of the second story window, as is . alleged by her, and she was con siderably bruised about the head and shoul ders, and was conveyed to the Pennsyl vania Hospital.

The remedy is simply to supply the blood with the necessary quantity of Iron. This can bo done by using the PERUVIAN SYRUP, a protected solution of the protoxido of Iron which le so prepared that it assimilates at once with the blood, giving strength, vigor and new life to tho s. hole system. To take medicine to cure diseases occasioned by a deficiency of IRON IN THE BLOOD, without restoring it to the system, is like try ing to repair a building when the foundation is gone. An eminent divine says: " I hove been using the PERUVIAN SYRUP for some time past: It gives me new vigor, buoyancy of spirits, elasticity of muscle."
