TORN TO PIECES
Terrible Affair in a Traveling Circus—
Three Men Devoured Alive by Lions.
The usually quiet little village of Middle
town, Missouri, was lately thrown into a
painful fever of excitement by an awful
catastrophe which occurred to the band
lately attached to James Robinson tt. Co.'s
circus and animal show, and led by Prof.
M. C. Sexton.
Upon starting out from Cincinnati for the
season, the management determined to pro
duce something novel in the way of a band
chariot, and conceived the idea of mounting
the band upon the colossal den of perform
ing N um idian lions, and which would form
one of the principal and most imposing fea
tures of the show.
kithough repeatedly warned by Professor
Saxton that he deemed the cage insecure
and dangerous in the extreme, the man
agers still persisted in compelling the band
to ride upon it. On the fatal morning of
the I=ll, the Inane] bed: their planes and the
p r ,,,, ss ion commenced to move amid the
shouts of the multitude of rustics who had
assembled bn witness the grand pageant,
and hear the enlivening strains of music.
Not a thought of danger was ent,tained by
any one, but the awtitl 4,l:ll,thrOpho was
alyltlt to 01,11 r.
As the driver endeavored to make a turn
in the streets the leaders became entangled
and threw the entire team into confusion,
aml he lost 1,011,01 of them, anti becoming
frightened they }molt: into a violent run.--
upon the opposite side of the street theihre

roof to give asva, , , thereby precipitating the
entire liand into the awn,' pit below.
For an instant the vast crowd were para
lyzer' with float . , but for It moment only,
and then arose such a shriek of agony as
teas never heard before. The awful groans
of terror atifl agony whieli arose from the
poor vietilllS who were being torn, 1:10C1'11-

State Sunday School Convention
This body which has been in session at
Harrisburg for several days east adjourned
finally on Thursday evening. It was
largely attended and those interested in
its objects express themselves satisfied
with the measure of success attained.—
Nearly t 2,000 in contributions was received
for the cause of the schools. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing year;
President, Rev. G. A. Peitz; Secretary,
Lewis D. `ail; Treasurer, Robert B. Ster
ling.
The following resolutions were unani
mously adopted:
Itcso ived, 1, That as the blessing of God
has signally attended those Sunday Schools
which have been kept open all the year
round, whether in city or country, we re
commend to all the lovers of Christ per
sistent efforts to keep open every Sabbath
in the year, and we are resolved to perse
vere in these efforts until entire success
crowns our exertions and every school in
the Keystone State is open all the year
round.
• • .
2. That we respectfully suggest to those
who have charge of theological seminaries
and colleges the propriety of introducing a
Sabbath School department in all such in
stitutions.
3. That from the great advantages which
have resulted from State Conventions, we
earnestly urge Sunday School men and
women all over the State to labor to secure
a county organization and get together the
workers in the good cause for mutual tin
provernent,instr uction and encouragement.
4. That experience teaches that there is
no sufficient substitute for the use of the
denominational catechisms as a part of
Sabbath School instruction; we therefore
most earnestly recommend that in all cases
) except in union schools) the teachers strive
to fix not only the words of the catechisms
in the memory, but also the meaning in
the understanding and the heart.
5. That as intemperance is ruining in
creased numbers of our youth, this conven
tion judges it an important part of our
Sunday School work to educate the children
in the virtues of total abstinence front all
into:diming liquors as a Leverage, and we
believe that every Sunday School ought to
tie a thorough temperance organization.
5. That appreciating the adoption or the
missionary department of the Sunday
School Union to the pronlotiun of the Sun
day School cause in the StAte, we hereby
conlially commend itsSionaries
friends of Sunday Schools.
7. That it is very desirable, if not a neces
sity, that every well ordered and SLiseesSltil
SUndaY shalt heee unil'rrm and
graduated lessons which should bo previ
ously studied in weekly teachers' Meetings,
S. This convention sends its Chri.4lllll

mile—Boaster a short length ahead, and
his friends splitting their throats with yells
of triumph; but can , still on, with extended
heads and dying feet, they contend lire ilo
next half-mile. Before turning into tho
backstretch, Juba' closes the gap and shins
out the daylight that had shown between
them ; up the back stretch he seemed i 9
gaining a little, but on rounding the upper
turn, Boaster again opened the gap, and
again let in daylight -which .1 ulial, with all
his effort seas unable to hide. In this po
sition they Write,' into the 110M0 stretch,
down which they value like a living whi ri
so ind, Boaster crossing the scare j list a
length ahead, and taking the heat amid the
loud hurrahs of his friends, in the unpre
cedented time of 1:46.
At the conclusion of the heat, consider:,
ble ill feeling was manifested both by the
riders and owners of the horses. The rider
of J übal declared that at the upper turn of
the homestretch where the horses were lap
lard and Boaster not more than half a
length ahead, and en the outside, his rider
pulled him across the path of Jabal, com
pelling him either to go into the gutter or
pull in behind Boaster, the latter of which
he had dune, and thus lost the heat. The
owner of Jabal claimed that for this lonil
riding Boaster should be declared distil
cod. The Judges said they had watched
the contest very closely, and had observed
iru earl riding. Mr. horam claimed the
: right of Weighing Boaster's bridle and the
leather boot on Ins hind leg which was re
sisted by Major llinehman, but allos‘,l
by the Judges, who decided that the heat
hld been fairly won by Boaster.
During the heat Boaster cast both hind'
shoes, and J cabal both fore slues and one
hind one. Half an hour seas allowed Mr
the horses to get rushed and to caul 011, and I
then the hell rang for the
.sent! Heal. - Boaster was again the lir:4
to answer the summons, and came on the
track as gay 155 a lark, but sweating consi,l
erably. .1 libel also was a little sect not
withstanding his half-hour respite. It sea,
interesting to witness the wonderful in
stinct displayed by each horse to get all
advantage over the other at the start
J riled, when once over the score, obstinately
refused to reeross it, until he was
taken by the head, and made to walk
backward, and this he resisted fu
riously, pawing and kicking impatiently
at those who were 'ridding him back, and
keeping, his eye on the stallion with evident
hate. Boaster also positively refused to
come up to where Julad Was being held.
With one groom holding him at the head
and leading' him towards Jubal, and :m
-other behind him urging him on with a
light stick, he kept his eye timed on his
antagonist, and approched him cautiously
step by step ' in the most slow and de
liberate walk; and as soon as Jubal showed
the least sign of springing forward, the
stallion would wheel around and break
away from those who held him. In this
way considerable tunic was lost, but after
several false shirts the horses got away
,cry evenly, Boaster on the inside and
about a neck in advance. The horses re
mained lapped around the lower turn and
up the backstretch. At the upper turn
Boaster was - a length ahead, and kept that
distance in passing the half-mile pole. The,
second half-mile was run without any ma
terial change of position. In coming, down
the homestreteh, the whip was vigorously
applied to Jubal, but without etrect,Boaster
darting over the score nearly two lengths
in advance, wenning the heat and the rat,
ill 1.45/.
This see believe is the fastest time ever
made on rehal fin i le track in this or anyother
country; and the fastest time ever made
on say track by a live year old horse, car
rying 113 pounds. On the Lewisville track
lereog made the distance in 1:43I ; but the
Louisville track is known to be a short
mile, and I lerzog ran at (emir weights and
had net the disadvantage of making, such
, hors turn, as are required on a halemile
track. Besides, repeausl measuring, has
shown the Lancaster track to lie six tort
too long. Fanny Ludlow, who is a full
sister to Boaster, ran a mile and a quarter
race at Saratoga, at the rate of to the
Mile, hint she Cos had the advantage 0f a
wile track and feather weight. No other
horses in this country have made as fas
time, and when the weight which Boaster
' carried nn a half-mile track is considered,
it is fair to regard his last achievement
the fastest time ell regord.

The Agricultural l'ark Association may
regard themselves as fortunate in having
such an admirable track, and in haying It
patronized by such admirable horses.--
Hereafter we shall expect to see a urueh

At the end of the second heat it seas dis

injuring his foot and tearing a part of the

may perhaps have had something to do
with his defeat. Ile sous quite lame after

Mg, with which the room is eiimbered, will
be removed and our citizens will have an
opportunity of seeing to iliiValltage the
greatly improved appear-ince of the wall,

fresco is the,ame :1, that pat WI at the time
the Court House was built, stowe sixteen
years ago, with the exception that ,61
are now used instead la . water colors, and
the tints are brighter than f oancaly.—
Messrs. McCullom a: Bateman have the
contract for repainting the interior of the
building, int•tuding the court room, the
corridor, vestibule,:stairg ay, county Whet,
and jury rooms. 'The vestibule and stair
way are almost completed, being laid out
in oil colors representing heavy cut stone
work. All the wood work in the court
resin will be grained oak, except the rail
ings and the tops of the benches, which will
be walnut. The contractors exp e ct to have
the main room finished in time for the
Court of Quarter Sessions, which e.qivenes
nil the lath of August.
It is to be hoped drat the County
minsioners, who have already expended so
much money in repainting the ex tcri.ir of
the building, and are now spending so
much more in the decoration of the interior,
will deem it advisable to repair the stone
steps that have been displaced both in front
and rear of the building; and also to add a
flight of steps to the west side leading into
Court Avenue, to correspond with those on
the east side. Such an improvement has,
we believe, already been recommended by
two or three grand juries ; and would not
only add to the symmetry of the structure,
but would be of great convenience to the
attorneys who have offices in the Avenue,
and also to citizens who have business with
the attorneys, the courts, or the county offi
cers.

A MYSTERY CLEARED UP—TUE RE
' MAINS OF A SUICIDE DISINTERRED—A
BULLET RATTLING IN HIS EMPTY SKULL
—SAD STORY OF lIIS DEATH.—WhiIe a
party of workmen were engaged in the re
moval of some human remains from the
south-east corner of the Presbyterian bury
ing ground of this city, to make room for
the erection of a dwelling house for the
sexton, a skull was exhumed in the empty
cavity of which a bullet was heard to rattle,
and un examination a bullet hole was dis
covered in the right temple. This bullet
dropped out of one of the eye-holes into the
hand of the sexton, and the affair led to
suspicions that the person to whom the re
mains belonged might have been mur
dered.
It so happens, however, that we are able
to clear up this supposed mystery com
pletely, and to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned. The skull found with the bul
let rattling in it was not the skull of a mur
dered man, but that of a suicide. The story
of his death is full of interest, and the par
ticulars thereof we gather front the recol
lection of that most estimable lady, Mrs. E.
Michael, proprietress of the Grape Hotel.
In the month of October, in the year IS2O,
a gentleman named Torrence Marshall,
from Wythe county, Virginia, came to
this city with a drove of cattle. He trav
eled, its was the general custom in those
days, upon horseback, and brought with
him a drove of cattle, which he sold at a
loss to the farmers of Lancaster county. Ile
was a fine looking man, about forty years
of age. His father and his brother had
both been among the victims of that terri
ble calamity, the burning, of the old Rich
mond Theatre. Some time after that his
wife was thrown from a carriage and
killed. These things, together with the
10.3 of money on his cattle, so preyed upon
his mind that he determined to put alt end to
uu existence that had become burthensome
to hint. Ile went to the store of John F.
Ste-Milian and purchased a pistol, lle
took the weapon to the gun store of Mr.
Grubs, and had it carefully loaded. Re
turning to the Grape Hotel, then kept by
Mr. John Michael, the husband of the lady
from whom we learn the particulars of this
sari ;miry, he had some conversation with a
fi•Ilow drover and merchant from the same
enmity in Virginia. 'the name of his friend
was Zimmerman. Marshall tutu him that
he etiuld not Wait until the time they had
set 'ii their departure together Mr Balti
more, where they were both to ley in a
.apply of goods, each of them beings en
gaged in the mercantile business in Wythe
county, Virginia. Zimmerman insisted
upon Marshall's waiting„ telling him that
he would be able to leave with him in the
rMli,tt - ittg day, as some farlllerS were to
come in and pay the last of the money due
him on the day when the conversation is
curred. Mr. Zimmerman stated that he
WAS about writing home, and advised Ma, -
shall to do the saint% and Bracer with
this Mr. Marshall seemed to assent, and
hiking pen, ink and paper with him he
started up stairs. h icing to his 1,11111 he
f. 'sod the chambermaid engaged in clean
ing it up, both he and his friend having
risen at rather a late hour in the morning.
The girl did not leave the room, thinking
he might wait until she had finished. Mr.
Marshall went out, entered another room
ch. , by, and placing the pistol he had
it:,,,h,tstta and had so carefully loaded to
his head, tired. The girt heard a report,
hut thought lie had knocked a chair over;
Mr. Al iehael, who seas in It MUM just below
that in which 110, tragedy p ee erred, heard
a noise and thought the chambermaid had
knocked th.wit a looking-glass and
hr , lien it. Ile started up to see :LI unit
the matter, and discovered Mr. Marshall
lying upon the Boor, life being extinct and
the door flooded with his blood. He bled
very profusely, two largo earthen crocks of
blood being scooped up. The ball anil the
entire eentents if the pistil, entered his
skull, but did not emerge therefrom; this
accounw for the presence of the bullet in the
skull when it was dug up the other day.—
The room where the deed Neils CununiD
trd is the, hack Mein neer the store of
Mr. Jacob Loeb, that building being
then the Grape Hotel. The remains
were examined by the Coroner, an in
quest was held, and a verdict in accord
aime with the facts rendered. There being
some objection to the burial of a suicide in
.•hurch yards at that day, the body was
interred in a family grave-yard on the farm
of Mr. Henry Dietrich, the father of Mrs.
Michael. The deceased had some twenty
:ivo or three hundred dollars of money in
his possession, which, with his other effects
were taken charge of by his companion,
Mr. Zimmerman. About a year after his
death a Mr. llounsel, from Wythe county,
Virgina, came to Lancaster, had the body of
Marshall disinterred, and buried in - the
Presbyterian church yard, whore it repos
ed in quiet until disturbed by the spade
of those were engaged in the removal
of the remains froth that part of the church
yar•l uuon which the sexton's house is.to
he erected. The story of Mr. Marshall is
a sad one, and few have been called uon
to bear up limier greater a ffl ictions t it a n
those which assailed him. His remains,
with those of the other.; which were re
moved, have been decently interred in
another part of the church-yard, where it
is to be hoped they will be suffered to rest
undisturbed until the dust to which they
are fast tending is quickened by the trump
of the great archangel.

an astonishing rate; our business men of
all classes appear much more smiling than
they did a few weeks ago, when financials
were low and change scarce.
A Festival was held in N. I'. lloyer's
buildings, which commenced on lust Wed
nesday evening, the lfith, and was kept in
lull blast until Friday night, and was very
well attended; it was for the benefit of the
Octoraro Presbyterian Church, and was a
success in every particular. About six
hundred dollars were realized from the
sale of the good things of this life and by
subscription. It is to be expended in re
pairing the church and making the place
of worship more comfortable. One grand
feature of the occasion was the large num
ber of"' fair women and brave men" who
attended and as the room in which the Fes
tival was held is admirably adapted for
promenade it was carried on with a vigor
that was truly astonishing, but as the pro
ceeds show with good etfect, as nothing will
make the young lleauxs come down with
the filthy lucre as soon as the smiles of one
of the bewitching beauties for which our
village and neighborhood are noted.
The growing crops of grain and grass
look well and promiso an abundant harvest.
The corn is backward owing to the cold wet
weather, but for the last week has grown
rapidly, and with favorable weather will
yet make a good crop. "DAVE."
