Terrible Tragedy lu Brooklyn.
New York, May 13, 1809.—Brooklyn
furnishes us with quite a startling seusatlon
to-day, which caused great excitement in
the fashionable circles of the City of
Churches. At the corner of Montague Place
and Montague street reside the family of
Mr. Flint, consisting of father, mother, sev
eral children, and also Miss Lizzie Scribner,
sister of Mrs. Flint. There was stopping
with tbe- family for some time a young
friend from Boston named Talbot. He be
came rather euamored of Miss Scribner,
and a day or two ago proposed marriage,
which was respectlully declined. This
morning at the early hour of two o’clock,
young Talbot slipped quietly out of his
room with a bottled morphine in his hand,
and entered the apartment of Miss Scrib
ner, on the samb floor. He found her asleep
quietly in her bed, but soon, on hearing
footsteps, the young lady awoke. She rose
from the bed, grappled with the znau, whom?
she supposed to be a robber, and finally
discovered that it was Talbot. She iin-
Elored, begged to be let alone, and finally
roke away from him and ran down stairs
shrieking for help. Talbot rushed into the
room of a son of Mr. Flint, picked up a
loaded revolver, ran again down stairs after
the young lady, who had thrown herself
upon a couch in the parlor, and fired. He
missed his aim, however, but quickly fired
a second time, the ball striking the back of
her hand. Talbot then rushed back
to his own room and placed tbe pistol
beforo his head and blew out him
brains. At that time the entire family
was aroused, and, upon repairing to Tal
bot’s room, they found his lifeless body in
a pool of blood. Miss Scribner’s wound
was at once attended to, and a neighboring
physician subsequently extracted the ball
from her wrist. The Coroner is now en
gaged in holding the inquest over the re
mains of young Talbot, who, it is apparent,
intended toeflect the ruin of Miss Scribner
at tbe dead hour of night, nud, being foiled
in Jals attempts, endeavored to murder the
young lady. The affair creates immense
excitement all over .Brooklyn, and in re
spectable ciroles here where all tbe parties
are well knowD. Talbot, as well as Miss
Scribner and the Flints, are related to the
best families of New York and Boston.—
Miss Scribner baa suffered much pain, but
she is now out of danger.
Tbo Comiug Figbt Between {Allen and
AXcCoole.
Cincinnati, May 12.—Tom Allen, the
celebrated English pugilist, accompanied
by bis trainer Sherman Thurston, arrived
in this city yesterday morning. He comes
here for the purpose of finishing
his training for the “Mill” with Mc-
Coole, the 15th of next month, and will
go into quarters at the Buckeye House to
day. Allen is in splendid condition, having
been at workfor nearly three weeks, and it
will therefore be an easy matter to put him
self In the finest possible (condition.
We learn that on Sunday last, Allen and
Gallagher met at St. Louis, and that tbe
former offered to fight the latter in ene day
or one week from the time of signing tbe
artioles, for from $lOO to $l,OOO, or for fun.
Gallagher refased the offer.

London; May 11.- Initial steps have been
taken for an aulanoe, offensive and defen
sive, between England, France and Spain
against tbs United States—the rejection of
the Alabama treaty, tbe tone of Mr. SniJ
neFi speech, the alleged flUtmaterjog'ten
deaolMOfGen. Gran Pa administration, and
the reported oonnl vanoe at expeditloni from
the United States against Cuba, being
made the pretext for a necesilty for each
alliance. ,
The following artlolo from tho Pall Mall
Gazette ot May Ist, shows the feeling in
England:
Mr. Sumner has proved to demonstration
what Is tho real feeling of the nation and the
Government, which, on this question, he may
fairly be said to represent. It isevlaent tb&t
it is not a feeling which can possibly bo
propitiated by any balf-and-balf oonces
hlodb. Either we must acknowledge that
the olyil war was os muob our work as tbe
South’s, and meekly accept the conse
quences, or we mast abandon tbo hope of
bringing the American people Into a more
friendly attitude toward this country. As
even tbe extremeat Northern sympathizer
will hardly go the lengths demanded by
Mr. Sumner, we may hope that the opinionof
Englishmen will bcpracticallu unanimous in
favor of the latter course. Tho right answer
for Lord Clarendon to givo Mr. Motley Is a
simple non possumus-a refusal to enter
into any discussion which includes the men •
tion of the proclamation of neutrality as
matter either for compensation or arbitra
l(on, We should have spared ourselves
some humiliation and tho Americans some
additional irritation If wo bud acted on this
principle throughout Mr. Johnson’s visit.
There Is another use to whioh Mr. Sumners’
speech may be turned. We shall be greatly
to blame if wo did not see in it a warning
that wo have incurred, though by no fault
of our own, tho anger of a very powerful
people, which has only now found out that
in military and nuval eminence It oan rival
the greatest of European Powers. No doubt
Mr. Sumner’s only reference to war was a
repudiation of Us alleged necessity. But
that repudiation was itself founded on the
effect which it is assumed will follow from
the exertions iof good men on each side,
and we know by this time wbat an Ameri
can Republican means when he talkß of
good men. The epithet is rarely, if ever,
applied , except to those who adopt the
whole Radical programme. A good Eng
lishman means a man who has started
from the same premises as Mr. Sumner,
and has come to tbe same conclusion. If
good men of that type are sufficiently
numerous and sufficiently persuasive to
bring the majority of Englishmen rouDdto
their view, Mr. Sumner may be right in
thinking wur between America and Eng-,
laud a permanent impossibility. But if, as
wo anticipate, there is difficulty in finding
tho preachers, or if, as we uro sure will be
tbo CUBO, their exhortutlonsfallon deaf ears
and stony hearts, it is quite possible that
this certainty of unbroken peace may prove
only a fool’s parudlßO. Tho ties of blood are
not likely to count for more whore England
and the United States are concerned than
they counted for when the oombatants were
two sections of the sumo people. Tho para
mount considerations which should govern
the present policy of this country toward
tho United States are the fruitlessness of fur
ther iicgotlatlons and the necessity of being
prepared for war.
We do not wish to be alarmists, or to re
present matters as in anyway worso than
they really are. But nothing is gainod by
denying that tho sort of ill-feeling which
seems to animate the mtnd of nearly every
American towards England is an element
of serious danger. Suppose, for example,
that It had ro&cnod its presont height at tho
time of the seizure of the Confederate
agents on board the Tront, the most popu
lar of Presidents could hardly have ventur
ed on making tbe required reparation. The
utmost cauliou cannot secure a Government
against being compromised by the hasty
act of au official, und if England were now
compelled to urge a similur demand at
Washington, we question whether General
Grant would have the power to concede it,
oven onjthe assumption—and a very largo
assumption it is—that he hud the will,
Tbo London correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune writes as follows:
Thoro can be but ono logical conclusion
to such u premise, und the Rail Mall Ga
zette does not shrink from drawing it. The
pith aud purpose of Us whole article, und
ofwhntisto bo henceforth its policy are
condensed into one cogent sentence:
“The paramount considerations which
shouid govern tho present policy of this
country toward Iho Uuiled States, are the
frultlessness of further negotiation, and
the necesHlty of being prepared for wur."
It would bo a total mistake to suppose
that this Is said hastily, or is tho elloct of
irritation ou reading Mr. Sumnot’s speech.
I think it boyond uoubt that tho very able
and ronmrkubly sagucious conductors of
this journal long tineu resolved on this pol
loy. and have wuitud only for a sultublo oc
casion to deolaro it, Mr. Hutnnor’s speech
furnishes the occasion. By this declar
ation, tho Pall Mall Gazelle has put itself at
tho head of a movomont destined, I believe,
to go far und much boforo it send is reachod.
This is. in fact, the revival of that old party
which longed for tho destruction of tho |Ro
publio by the Rebolllon. Had the Pall Mall
Gazette been in existence at that time, it
would have been tho rival of the Times for
for the leadership oi that party. Now, by
a single article, it has.achieved tbe distinc
tion which then it might have struggled for
in vain. It takes the lead in the strong, res
olute, and clear-sighted party which wants
a war with America.
From Europe.
London, May 11,— Tho Morning Standard
(Conservative) has a leading article on tbe
Alabama question and the Bpeech of Mr.
Sumner in the United States'Senate In op
position. The writer reviews the relative
positions of the United States and Great
Britain, and asserts that raids and other
outrages perpetrated by the American Fe
nians in Canada, durlngthe past few years,
more than counterbalance the depredations
committed by the Alabama on American
commerce. The Government of Great Bri
tain, In consenting to submit the mutual
international grievances to arbitration, did
more than could be fairly demanded, and
to yield further would be an act of cow
ardice aud irreparable degradation.

Cuba A flairs.
Havana, May 11.— The “ Diario ” pub
lishes a meagre report of an engagement
between tbe troops under Gen. Lesca and
the insurgents, at Altagracia. It says the
rebels offered u more determined resistance
than in any previous battle, and acknowl
edges that the Spaniards lost Col. Capham,
and six privates killed and thirty wonnded.
It also claims that the rebel loss was heavy.
Tbe insurgents have burned the village of
San Minguel, near Nuevitas. Puerto Prin
cipeis reported to be plentifully supplied
with provisions. It is expected that the
"Prensa,” of this city, will soon suspend
publication. The Steamship Columbia has,
arrived from New York, with Mr. Plumb,
the new Codsul General.
Havana, May 12.— Accounts from Span
ish sources represent that after the fight at
Altagracia General Lesca reached Puerto
Principe with his army, the insurgents
being unable to detain him, and that the
Cubans lost 100 killed and wounded. The
Diario says 200, but the VozdeCuba doubts
the correctness of the Diario’s information.
Letona, who made official reports of the af
fair, gives n lew details. He says that
since the fight the rebels cannot get together
2000 men.
The taxes for the ensuing fiscal year are
to be reduced 50 per cent.

Nix Itlver Nlpnmcrs Destroyed by Fire.
Cincinnati, May 12-9 A. M.—Six river
steamers were burned to the waters edge at
tbelr docks on tho Ohio river in this city
lust night. Sovorul lives nro reported lost.
Tbo loss which has not yet been estimated
must bo very heavy as sovoral of the steam
ors destroyed wore new flrst-olass passen
ger boats. Tbore names nro the Darling,
Westmoreland, Mary Erwin, Melnotto,
(Jbuyonnu and Clifton.
[sKCOND DESPATCH.]
Cincinnati, May 12.—IbQ fire which
broke out this morning among, tbe river
mourners ut this oily, which resulted in the
total destruction of tho boats mentioned,
was caused by the upsetting of a lamp in
tho wash-rooin of tbe Clifton. The llumes
seized at onoo in the light wood work of tbe
booat, and in so quiok time did they en
velope her, that those on board were Just
able to escupe with their lives. From the
Clifton tbe fiames extended speedily to tbe
boats tbut were lying immediately by her
Bide. /
There ore rumors that there wore some
passengers aboard tbe Clifton, All lives on
board were sayed, except a deck band
burned to death, A hand on the Cheyenne
says that all aboard were asleep when the
lire broke out, and that be is certain that
five deck bands aboard were burned to
death. Robert Gamer and wife, colored,
were on tbe landing hunting their son,
John Gamer, a lad on the Darling, sup
posed to be lost. Tbe officers said tbut four
or five men were seen to jump off tbe
Darling and struggle to get ashore. Only
one succeeded. Skiffs went out to resoue
them bat failed.
In the midst of the excitement occasion
ed, it was difficult to get any Information
that is entirely satisfactory In regard to
losses’ The following is the estimate placed
on the boats exclusive of cargo:
Clirton $25,000, Westmoreland $20,000,
Mary Erwin $6,000, DarliDg $15,000, Mel
notte ?5.000, Cheyenne $25,000.
At half past three o’clock all that re
mained of the steamers was their blackened
hulks in which the fire was sullenly burn
ing. The Darling was not entirely con
sumed, but whatever remained of the wheel
house and other parts of the boat stood -up
like monuments, to mark the place where
all that is beautiful in boat mechanism had
In a short time been consumed. The scene
immediately in frontof tbe wharf presented
a spectacle too sad to describe. Six boats
side by side were iu xulns; others had fied
to escape the flames. It was perhaps the
saddest scene there had ever been witnessed
in the marine historv of Cincinnati.
Stormy Meeting of the Washington Typo
graphical Union—The Government De
termined to Force it to Becognlxe the
Negro.
Washington, May 16.
The meeting of the Columbia Typograph
ical Union last night, at the City Hall, was
the largest and the most stormy meoling
ever held by the craft in this city—tbe ex
citing cause being the question of admitting
a colored compositor, named Doaglass, as a
member. When bis name was proposed, a
resolution was offered that he be rejected on
account of his being a “ rat.” This was de
clared out of order by the chairman, when
<in appeal was taken from the deoision, but
before it was decided a motion was made to
adjourn. The disorder and confusion at
this time was intense between those op-'
posed to the admission of Douglass and
those in his favor. The yeas and nays were
taken, and an hour and a half was con
sumed in calling the roll, when a motion to
adjourn was carried. This carries the case
over till the next monthly meeting, and
Douglass’ name goes before the investigat
ing committee, as is usual with applicants
for membership. In the meantime be will
continue at the Government printing office.
He learned his trade at Rochester, N. Y.,
but was not allowed to join tbe Union there.
He afterwards went to California, and
worked in a town where there was no
Union. Congressional Printer Clapp de
clared to-day that he would keep Douglass
at work whether tbo Union elected him a
a member or not. This case excites great
interest among all the trade societies here,
as they are all interested in the precedent
which will be established in regard to ad
mitting colored men as members.
The Re<g Men’* Parade.
The celebration of Tammany’s Day by
the Improved Order of Red Men in Phila
delphia last week was a grand affair: tbe
weather was all that could be desired for
tbe occasion. Many strangers were in the
city, and flags were displayed from the va
rious public buildings.
Tbe main feature of the celebration was
tbe parade of the different Tribes of the Or
der, which was made in the morning. This
was the first parade of the Order for many
years, and the greatest preparations have
been made for it during several weeks past.
Early in the morning the upper part of the
city was greatly enlivened Dy the bands of
music which accompanied the tribes to
Broad street, the plaoe designated for the
formation of the procession. Between ten
and eleven o’clock the people began to
gather on Broad street,. north of Parish,
and tbe sidewalks were soon pretty well
lined with men, women and children. The
different tribes arrived punctually on the
ground and the procession was formed.
The procession required about fifteen
minutes in passing, and the display was
very creditable.
. The*route over which the parade passed
was lined with spectators. The exercises
at tbe Chestnut Btreet Skating Rink were
very fine.
A large audience was assembled at the
Rink, and when the members of the Order
who had participated in tbe parade had
fathered within the building, the assem
lage was called to order.
The proceedings were then opened with
iZ H. Gorham, Esq., of Philadelphia,

*ralQ and bait passed over this city Thurs

In West Cbwtnnt strest, abowea us this

been done to the fruit trees andgrape vines,
in this city, by the hall, tbo rudimentary

The Heahino op tbb Alleoed Riot*
ebs.—Tbe hearing of the parties alleged
to have been engaged in a riot in North
Qaeen street, this city, on Saturday even
ing, tbe 6tb Inst,, came off on Saturday be
fore Mayor Sanderson. ■
The aooused parties were Henry Martin,
Adam Miller, Samuel Miller, Henry Shay,
John Ponte,Fred. Diffenbach, Jr., "Fungy ”
McGuire, " Chuck” Boss, and Henry Role.
Hon. O. J. Dickey and Wm. A. Atlee,
recently District Attorney for tbis county,
represented Messrs. Frea, Dlffenbscb, Jr..
“ Fuogy” McGuire, “Chuok" Boas and
Henry Rote, as tbelr counsel.
General Joseph W. Fisher, Col, 5. H.
Price and Jesse Landis appeared for tho
other defendants.
A number of witnesses wero examined
on the part of the prosooatlon. The evi
dence snowed that the disturbance origina
ted in the Beor Saloon of Mr. Shultz Rees
In North Queen street—where two persons
commenced fighting, wblcn. soon Involved
ail In tbe room Tn a general affray, or
"free fight.” Several of tbo participants
were slightly hurt, but tbo prompt ap
pearance of some members of tbe city
police ended tho disturbance, as soon
as they could force themselves into the
large crowd that the fight gathered lo
overwhelming nnmbers. and whioh for a
short time crowded out tue officers and pre
vented them from making any Immediate
arrests. Tbe evidence showed that tbe dis
turbance was not one exclusively partici
pated in by Democrats, bnt was a free figbt
in which no political feeling entered, and
that more Republicans were participants
in it than Democrats. There in fact was no
riot, merely a drunken affray, such as must
occur at times in all places where intoxi
cating liquors are sola, even when the pro
prietors endeavor to keep good order.
Mayor Sanderson, after patiently hearing
the evidence and the remarks of the de
fendants’ counsel, dismissed tbe case. In
dismissing tbe defendants lrom custody he
however administered to them a reprimand
in which be strongly condemned tnelr rep
rehensible behaviour on tbe evening of the
disturbance. He said that the oJty authori
ties bad exerted themselves to nave the
whole matter fairly Investigated, and had
spared no pains to bring the offenders to
justice; Jbat hereafter tbe city police would
be Instructed to exoroise, if possible, still
greater vigilance In watohing and arresting
all disturbers of the peace, and should there
bo any grounds for saob persons being re
tained lor trial St the Criminal Court tboir
oases should In every instance bo sent up
for tho action of that tribunal.
Mayor’s Office.— The three young men
from tbe neighboring borough of York,
York oounty, who drew knives and pistols
In Knapp’sßeer Saloon in EostKlngatreet,
on Monday, came to grief on Tuesday
monllng. it seems that these tbreo sports,
named Wm. Beck, Walter B. Ruby and
F. E. Ruby came to this city to spend
Wklt-Monday. Instead of looking about
them and behaving properly they com
menced an unprovoked assault In Mr.
Knapp’s Saloon—which is one of thy best
conducted in the city—on his bar-tonder
Mr. William Luckenbach. They threw a
mustard pot at Mr. L. striking him on the
breast with it. Mr. Knapp soon afterward
came in to assist Mr. Luckenbach In elect
ing tbe rlotious and disorderly parties from
the Saloon, when drawing pistols and bran
dishing knives they showed a decided Incli
nation to take charge of the premises. Tbe
city police were sent for and tbe roughs,
probably Buspeoting tbe early arrival of
the officers, left for a Bal6on in another por
tion of tho city where they , were subse
quently arrested Just as they wero about
commencing another disturbance. The
combative gentlemen were finally safely
lodged in the Lockup beneath the Mayor’s
office where they haa ample time, during
last night and almost the entire day of yes
terday, to refieol upon tbe unpleasant re
sults of being too pugnaolous.
Tho above facts being clearly shown by
the evidence of Mr. Knapp, Mr, Lucken
buck, and others, at the Mayor’s offico, His
Honor made them give ball in the sum of
$2OO each to answer at tho next Court of
Quarter Sessions to the aharge of riotous
and disorderly conduct preferred by Mr.
Knapp, and In the sum of $3OO each to an
swer to tbe obarge of assault and battery
brought by Mr. Luoaenbacb against them.
No witnesses were examined for the de
fence). Geo. Nauman, Esq., appeared for
the defendants, and A. Herr Smith, Esq.,
for the Commonwealth.
Attempted BunoLART.-Some unknown
fiersons endeavored to effect an entrance
nto the dwelling house of Mr. Barton B.
Martin In North Piince street this city, on
Saturday night last. Mr. Martin says that
he was awakened by the noise made by the
burglars in chiseling out a panel of the door
leading into the diDlng room of the house,
the door being one that leads from said'room
into the baok yard. It was a short time
after 12 o’clock when he firstheard the noise,
but as be supposed it was occasioned by
some one about the house being down stairs
be paid but little attention to it. Tbenoise
at length aroused his suspicions that all was
not right, and upon his endeavoring to as
certain its real cause the burglars were
alarmed and hastily left tbe premises. Mr.
Martin thinks that onlyoneof tbe men was
inside of the door when he called out, and
that he Immediately left with his confeder
ate who was on the outside, when their
movements were discovered. Nothing of
value was stolen from the premises as the
burglars’ operations were too quickly de
tected to admit of their carrying away any
thing. The burglars entered Mr. Martin’s
lot from North Water street and approached
the back part of the house in that direction.
Fire and Serious Accident.— The Co
lumbia Spy says that on Saturday evening
last, between five and six o’clock, a slight
fire occurred in a ooal shed attached to the
Cross Keys’ by Matthias Kline,
Id that borough. The shed contained a lot
of shavings, to which it is supposed an
incendiary match was applied. The flames
were extinguished ere the fire companies
reached the scene, or any damage done save
the burning and tearing away of a few of
tbe roofing boards.
Whilst the Vigilant steamer was proceed
ing to tbe fire, on Commerce street, Lemuel
Cooper, who had hold of the tongue, stum
blea over an elevation of earth and fell be
neath the engine, andjbefore tbe apparatus
could be checked two wheels of tbe ponder
ous steamer passed over him inflicting the
following: Two wounds on tbe left side of
bead; face, right shoulder and thorax con
siderably bruised; a comminuted fracture
of the right thigh bone (lower third)—tbe
soft tissues surrounding the fracture very
much contused.
The unfortunate man was first carried to
the residence of Robert Crane, Esq., Wal
nut street, when Dr. Jno. K, Llneaweaver
was called in, who properly dressed the
wounds, adjusted the parts and placed the
patient in a fracture-bed, in which state he
was carefully removed to the residence of
his parents, on Front street, and is doing
as well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances.

The Month op May.— The *9<afe Guard
very appropriately remarks that May, tbe
lovliecrt of months in almost every clime, is
known in tbe Cathollo Church as tbe month
of Mary, os it Is specially sut apart for de
votion to the Virgin Mother.
Whatever mayne onr dogmatic differen
ces, ail can And something Deaatlfuliu this
association of this month of flo wore, of ethe
rial mildness and clear blue skies, that seem
the mirror of Heaven's own eternal culm,
with the spotless mother of the Incarnate
Word. The oeremonles, too, are la keeping
with this association of religion ana tbe
beautiful—early matins, lights, flowora, cel
ebrants in gold embroidered white vest
ments, girlhood in flowing veils, the sweet
obantlng of tbe Ave Marla, with tho pealing
organ,
"The oonaeoTation and the poet’s dream.”
We believe all the Cathollo churches of tho
city observe this festival.
Runaway.—On Monday evening as Mr.
Christian Herr and Miss Funk, of Manor
t wp., were driving In a baggy out of the yard
of Mr. Christian Shock's hotel in West KiDg
street, this city, they met with a accident
which might have resulted in the most seri
ous consequences. The front axle of tbe
buggy broke and tbe left front wheel fell
offSbrowing Mr. Herr outunder the buggy
Tbe horse taking fright ran rapidly down
West King street, dragging Mr. Herr who
retained bis bold of the lines as far as tbe
residence of Mr. Krug, at the corner of
South Prince and West Kingstreete. where
Mr. H. was compelled to leave go his hold.
Tbe horse continued on down the stree
when the buggy was dashed against a tree
opposite Miss Temple’s Millinery shop,
breaking tbe vehicle badly and throwing
Miss Fnnk into the street. Miss F. was
oarried Into Dr. Matlock’s office noar by,
where it was found she had escapod with
two bruises on the cbeek and temple, and
a bruised arm. Mr. Herr was but slightly
Injured. The buggy was badly broken;
tbe horso was stoppod a short distance from
the place where Miss Funk was thrown
out.
, Coloiujd Folks in Trouble.— On Mon
day afternoon the colored population resid
ing in and about Goose streeUn tbe Seventh
Ward, beoame unmanageable. They par
took firstly of some whiskey, and then
oommenceu to celebrate Whit-Monday by
having a free fight Among themselves. This
doubtless was for them fine fun but such it
was not for the more quiet and orderly
portion of the citizens of that portion of our
city. Officers Shroad, Lutz and Fisher of
the city police were sent to quiet this em
bryo riot and to make urrests of the ring
leaders. Several guilty parties were ar
rested and put in the lockup. One of them,
a colored man named Charles Coleman,
was committed to the county prison by tbe
Mayor this morning for ten days. The re
mainder of tbe parties arrested were dis
charged upon paying a fine of $4 and the
costs.

Religious.— An adjourned meeting of
the Donegal Presbytery was held at Mount
Joy recently, at which Rev. Solomon Mc-
Nair moderated, and Rev. C. "W. Stewart
acted as Secretary. Rev. Geo. Robinßon,
of this oity, Rev. A. H. Long, of Pequea,
Rev. W. J. Bridells, of Marietta, and Rev.
B. F. Witherow, of Columbia, were also
present. John Edgar having passed the
necessary examination, was ordered as
Minister, and was subsequently Installed
as Pastor of the Presbyterian church of
Mount Joy, and also aB Pastor of the Don
egal church.
Smoke House Robbery.— On Tuesday
night, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o’clock, the smoke house of Daniel
Furry, residing on the old Levan mill
property, Manor twp., about four miles
from the city, was broken into and thirteen
hams, nine shoulders and a quantity of
bologna sausage taken away. Mr. Furry
did not discover his loss until yesterday at
noon, but noticed on Wednesday morning
when coming to market that a wagon baa
preceded him through the toll gate; further
than this he did not take any notice, not
knowing at that time that he had been rob
bed. That this was the wagon that carried
off the meat—about seven hundred weight
—there is little doubt, as the persons resid
ing in the tenant house, near Mr. Furry’s,
saw, on the night in question, some persons
in a wagon go toward his house at about
half-past eleven o'clock and return about
half-past twelve, coming toward the city.

Mortgages.— lt may be well for those
who have mortgages or ground rents topay,
to remember that the Supreme Court of the
United States has lately decided that when
it is covenanted in an agreement that the
money shall be paid in coin, of any specific
kind, it can be demanded and recovered in
the coin mentioned, or its equivalent, and
that the creditor cannot be compelled to ac
cept the amount in “legal-tenaer notes at
par.” —State Guard.
Masonic.— We notice in our exchanges
that the Masons of several of the counties
of this State, are about organizing associa

members. The plan is that, In the eventof
death, the family of the deceased shall re
ceive a number of dollars equal to the
number of members of the association— as,
for instance, if it- numbers five hundred
members, five hundred dollars will be paid
In case of death.

passenger cars for the Pacific Railway
passed through this city yesterday It is
said that the pacifio coast can now Bupply
itself with eastern manufactured articles of
this sort at greatly rednded-prices, and an

are packed and piled. In often several feet
deep and extending-for miles, leaving bat
a narrow channel Tor tho passage of rafts.
Span andsqnaro timber are also prepared
and banian to tbe banka of tbe larger
streams in winter. Span are JOrshipmaats,
bowsprits, eto,, and the best quality isvory
valuable—worth often one hundred dollar*
apiece. They are out the fall leogth of tho

exceed ninety feet in length,. , .
Square timber.on these watern ~J» taken
o at the shape of the tree, and hewed so that
it can be, measured .with an inch and a
quarter hook—that is the wane la presumed
to bo not over an inch aud a quarter wide.
In baying and selling tbe inch and a quar
ter hook la generally used, and the stick Is
usually measured in the centre. This tim
ber varies in size from 12x12 to 30x30 Inches.
Ordinary rafts have from six to seven thou
sand cunlo feet, depending on tho size of the
limber.
Marietta, Lancaster county, is the princi
pal market for square timber, although tho
saw mills at Middletown, Harrisburg and
all along the river between Harrisburg and
Williamsport, supply; with
wbutever stock.they may need. At Marl*-
etta the lumber merchants from Phlladel*-
phla and New York aro iuthebublt of buy
ing their supply. The rafts aro then ru o
through to Port Deposit, the bead of tide
water, when they are made into “lockages,’'’
by piling one stick upon tbe top of another
three or four deep, and put into tbe Cbesfr
peake and Delaware oauai and towed over
to tbe Delaware, where a number of those
“ lockages ” aro put together and mado up
until they sometimes cover sores, and
floated with the tide or towed up to Phlla
del pbia; and those for New York are taken;
up to Bordentown.where they aro put into
the Delaware and Raritan c&ual and towed
to New Branswiok, Now Jersey.
BUI timber is known as timber hewed
perfectly square, as large at one end as the
other, it is generally about twelve Inches*
square.
There are a groat many sawed timber
rafts. This timber is manufactured on the
upper streams. None of that mado utLock
Haven or Williamsport Is rafted, but trans
ported by canal ana railroad. Mc?t cf the
lumber la these rafts is scantling, plank
and broad rails.
It Is not unusual for two thousand rafts to
be sent to market. From this fact some
idea can bo formod of tho extent of tbo
lumber trado, Jf there are but—sny fifteen
hundred rafts, one thousand of which are
squaro tlmbor, averaging six thousand
on bio foot to the raft, we have six millions
of cubic feet, tho value of which, at twenty
cents por foot, would be $1,200,000. To this
is to be Bddea five hundred rafts of sawed
lumber, worth half us much more.—Har

Allkoed Certain Cure for the Bite
of a Mad Don.—The editor of the Kent
Ncm t published at Chestortown, Md,, In
giving publicity to the following article,
suys ” it may bo proper to state, lor tbe in
formation or persons who are unacquainted
with Mr. Dyre, that ho is a highly respecta
ble und intelligent farmer, residing near
Gnlunu, iu this county.”
Eleeumpnno is a plaut well known to
most persons, and is to be lound in many
of our gardens. Immediately after bolng
bitten, take one and a half ounces of the
root of the plant—the green root is perhaps
preferable, but tho dried will answer and
mny be found In our drug stores, and was
used by' me—slice or bruise, put into a
pint of fresh milk, boil down to a halfpint,
strain, and when cold, drink—fasting, for
at least blx hours afterwards. The next
morniug, fasting, repeat the dose, using
two ounces of the root. On the third morn
ing take another dose, prepared as the last,
and this will be sufficient. It is recom
mended that after each dose nothing be
eaten for at least six hours.
I have a son who was bitten by a mad
dog eighteen years ago, and four other chil
dren in the neighborhood were also bitten ;
they took the above dose, and are alive and
well at this day. And I have known a
number of others who were bitten that ap
plied the same remedy.
It is supposed that tbe root contains a
principal which, being taken up by the
blood in its circulation, counteracts or neu
tralizes the deadly effects of the virus of
hydrophobia.
I feel so touch confidence in this simple
remedy that I am willing you should give
my namo in connection with this statement.

Completion of .the Pacific Railroad.—
Bomo twenty years ago it was proposed to
build a railroad to the Pacific coast. The Idea
at that time was looked upon by most men as
visionary In the extreme, and oy some pro
nounced Impossible, yet this so-called vision
ary project has been accomplished and the
Iron horse will now speed Its way over three
thousand miles of continuous rail, from the
Atlantic to the Pacifio Ocean. For more than
twenty years electricity has been used as a

first like the great railroad project, it met with
opposition, but It has finally overcome all oppo

country and in Europe, are resorting to It In
their most obstinate cases; In fact some of the
cures performed by this mysterious Agent are
done so quickly that It seems like magic, yet
this Is nothing more than might reasonably be
expected If we reason upon thesubjectproperly
and study tbe fofees In nature and the laws
regulating our physical well being. Electricity
In some form pervades all nature, everything
In the material world around us Is acted upon
