LoimnoNi July ?A—The , excitement occa sioned by We publication of the secret trea ty between France and Prussia, is increas ing as the evidence becomes more clear that the document is genuine. Nearly all the journals of London have editorial re marks this morning on the subject, and they are all similar in tune. Franco must explain this offensive treaty, arc the words of the Time.t and the burden of the London press. There is no question but that the press, amid the Tinmesparticulardy, are seek ing to make this treaty a pretext for the in tervention of England in favor of Prussia. The attitude of Ireland is also commented upon. After giving the details of many meetings recently held in Ireland, and the strong resolutions of sympathy for France which have been adopted, the Times asserts that this sympathy is altogether duo to Catholicism, and in consequence of the ha tred of German Protestantism.

The Prtoodon Line of Defence The military critics are excited and puz zled by the confused reports of military movements on both sides of the Rhine.

Then, is a railroad tine on each bank, that on the left passing through and continuing flown to Cologne, 111141 that on the right bank turning off at Neitler Lansteine, foul following the lahn River to Nassau. This, it seems to us, is the presentline &fem.° fiw Prussia. Of course the right bank of the Rhine, through Hesse Darmstadt and Itailon to the Swiss frontier, will be defend ed, but at present the scone of active opera tions lies between the points indicated. ' This city, which might be termed the right wing of the Prussian line, is situated on the left bank of the Rhine and the right lank of the Moselle, at the confluence of Liaise rivers. The name of the place is a isirruption of ConMu:files, by which the Romans walled it. It is about seventy-livo miles northeast of Mete by the post road, but it is more than double that distance by way of the river, owing to its sinnosities.

They were undoubtedly strong, but none are impregnable, as has been sta ted by some newspapers.

On three sides it is abso lutely impregnable to assault, but on the northwest it is comparatively exposed. Its weakness here is apparent at a glance, and efforts have been made to repair it by the construction of three lines of defences, all of which must be stormed before an enemy can enter the fortress. Nevertheless it is possible that artillery massed on . these works could render them untenable. Four hundred heavy guns are mounted in the fortress, and these sweep the Rhine in all directions and the road to Nassau. on the top or the rook is a great platform which serves as a parade ground and which covers large arched cisterns, supplied with water by springs without the walls, and capable of containing a three years' supply or the liquid.

Particular,' of the Suicide of the French 11.1nnitter. WASHINGTON, July 20.—The city was startled this morning by a report that M. Prevost-Paradol,theNew French Minister, had committed suicide at an early hour this morning by shooting himself through the heart. The following details of the sad affair have been obtained from the only member of the French Legation in this city, and who, with the exception of his own body-servant, was the last person to hold a conversation with M. Prevent-Para dol. For two or three days it has been noticed that M. Paradel was not in good health, the change in climate and the great responsibility resting upon him in his new position, and his anxiety about the war news from Europe, seeming to affect him both mentally and physically. During yesterday he attended to his business as usual, although appearing to be suffer ing from the excessive heat, which clouded his mind. Late yesterday afternoon a member of the Legation called and was with him for some time. lie retired as usual last night, and his servant noticed that his actions were somewhat strange, but still he did not suspect that he would attempt to take his own life. Atone o'clock this morning the servant was aroused by the report of a pistol, and hearing his name called by M. Paradol. Arriving at the lat ter's room, he found him standing in his night clothes in the middle of the room, quaking apparently with fear, the servant an pposing that the pistol had teen fired in an adjoining room, and that it had fright ened him. Paradol took hold of his arm and told him in a calm voice not to be alarmed. A moment later he discovered blood on M. Paraders clothes, and then realized that the Minister had shot himself. Ile was laid upon the fluor and Dr. Julmson was summoned, tint 'build it impossible to save his life, the ball haying penetrate! the body at the lower edge of the heart. At half past tine lie died, having tried ineffect ually before death occurred to articulate and give some direction to his servant. Napelettn has been netiiied by telegraph and M. Berthemy, who is now in New York, has been notified to return. The body is being embalmed to be taken to Fran.•e. No reason is yet assigned fur the act, but it is believed he had been contemplating the deed fur some time. lie had written letters to members of his family fore shadowing such intentions. The house in which M. Paradel lived is located in a pleasant part or the city, in a good neighborhood and agreeable society surroundings. Ile was to have hail the room occupied by the late French Minis ter, but when he arrived, M. Berthenly had not left, and he leased this house. Ile was unsatisfied with the plat, and was unable to rest well. 'file hot weather depresst , tl him, and the news of the war, of which he was net ad vised until his arrival in Now York, had an unfortunate influence on his very ner vous organization. A few days age he wrote a letter which he gave his valet, with strict orders nut to open it until a certain time, which, in being optimal this 'nem disclosed the fact that he had resolved on suicide. l is son and daughter were absent. They went to Newport a few days ago. Ile re tired last night early—soon after seven o'clock, anti seemed to be in his usual spirits, though complaining of the heat. Ile told his housemaid, Mar's, that the hot weather was killing him. Ne persons were in the house but his valet and Mu heusemaid. The latter was asleep and was awakened by the report of the pis tol with which her master had slain him self, and rushing to his route, she found hint stretched out dead, with a bullet through his heart. Dr. W. I'. Johnson was at o nc e summoned and made a hasty ex aminatien of the body, finding life extinct. This is the second suicide that has occur red in this house in the last ten years. In Iseljust after the war broke out, an un fortunate young man ranted Jones boarded there, who, by a profligate course of life, ruined his widowed mother, and in a lit of frenzy blew his brains out in 'kis inOther's presence in the parlor, in the middle of the day. The heuse-maid told our reporter this morning that she knew there was sonic thing wrong about the house as soon as she set feet in it. That she Was unable to sleep. That she heard people walking,te, &e., the usual impressions that fasten upon Suspicious minds. She told her master she did not like the atmosphere of the place, and then to her astonishment to, too was impressed with similar ideas. She then assumed a cheer fill aspect and told him they would get along as best they could until 0 more agreeable plat, could be found, and he aequiesced, remarking, "Yeti are a gaud cheerful girl, and always make the bright side appear." liut it would be In ferred that Mr. Paradol did not mean to live in the house, Mr :ill the boxes of lug gage brought &ten 1 remained unpack ed during the day he remained there, ex cept the linen chest. In his letter to Iris - valet he left orders for Lint to take the children back to Paris to join their sister, aged titteen years, [burn he left at school there. The body was this morning placed in charge of Mes,ffs. Ifarvey Mare, under takers, to be embalmed, prior to being sent away. Never before having occupied a diplo - position, M. Parade' was very much impressed with the responsibility of his position as the representative of one of the contending posters in a country Whose people obviously sympathized with the nat tion with which his Government was en gaged in hostilities. Since his arrival here he has injudicious ly exposed himself to the excessive heat, which had a depressing effect, and in con nection with the above circumstances pro duced a condition of mind which led to the stacking result of self-destruction. Paradol way a man of ordinary height rather stout, dark complexioned, and of rather imposing appearance, and about forty yearn old. lie went to Savage's store yesterday, in company with a friend, when the following transpired between him and the clerk: " lave yet' any good pistols'?" "Yes, sir; what kind will you have " Wel, good and effective pistols." 'flag clerk then showed him various kinds, and after close examination he selected Colt's breech-loading, imitation of the Der ringer—a new arm in the market. Ile was then informed that the price was twelve dollars per pair, or seven dollars for one, when he remarked to the clerk: " Well, one will answer toy purposes. - He then asked for some cartridges, for which, together with the pistol, he paid eight dollars. Ile again visited the store yesterday evening about six o'clock and said : " I bought n pistol here, this morning and want another to make lip a pair; what did I pay for that one this morning? I have forgotten." To which he was replied that he could have another ono on the same terms as he mentioned in the Merin ng ; when Parade' said, pleasantly : " ell, I'll take this one se as to have a pair they are so handy," and, patting his hands on his pantaloons pockets," they aro no more trouble to carry than a pocket knife." lib their paid live dollars and left the some.

Upon arriving at:the church 'the coffin, shrouded in a flag of the French Nation,was deposited on a catafalque just outside the altar; M. Berthemy, principal mourner, remained standing during the services at the head of the catafalque, as is the custom in France. The carriages of the funeral procession were mostly those of private individuals. Baron Gerolt, Minister of the North Ger man Confederation, attended the funeral together with attaches of all the other For eign Legations in Washington. Among those present were the Cabinet Ministers, General Sherman and Vice Ad miral Porter, in uniform, Senators Sumner and Stockton, and other prominent gentle men. The church was well tilled, a large proportion of the French and other foreign residents of Washington being present.— The ceremonies eemmeneed with the per formance of the solemn requiem mass. This concluded, the Reverend Father read in English a portion of the do profundis saying: " it was an expression of the only hope and consolation that could be felt Un der the lamentable and distressing circum stances." Ile then delivered a funeral address of nearly thirty minutes dura tion, in which, after an earnest tribute to the past greatness of the distinguished in the field of science and journalism, as well as the great attainments which had impelled the Emperor of Franco to choose him as the representative of that nation to this country,the speaker alluder to the man ner in which his career came to its close ; saying, however, unchristian or anti-chris tain it may have been, or whatever may have been the moral influences that exerted sway at that moment upon the distinguished individual, whose contains were before us, it should be remembered that it was not for man to set himself up in judgment upon the case,and not oven the CatholieChurch would venture to condemn a man after he had de- parted this life. Upon this point the rever end gentleman spoke wittc:considerable. feeling, exhorting those gathered in the presence of the dead to learn that no matter how a man sank into the jaws of death, whether it be by a sudden attack .of delirium, the effects of disease, or in any other state of mental -derangement, the question was what were his. disposition and sentiments before ha Wes de= prived of his rational. faculties. At the conclusion the remains were borne from the church, the Marines presenting arms as the burial case was deposited with in the hearse, and soon after followed by a sympathizing and distinguished crowd, the cortege moved on to the railroad depot, from where the remains will be conveyed to New York. The —Way of the Tangressor" in 'Vie -o.ft—A St r riltbur Came. The killing at Chester near Richmond, Va., of Benjamin F. Lindsey, by his father in-law, Capt. Wm. li.. Hayward, for Lhe acknowledged seduction of the latter's un married daughter, and his immediate dis charge on the ground of justifiable homi cide, indicate perhaps more strikingly than any similar case, the spirit of public senti ment, in that quarter at least, in regard to. the crime of which Lindsey was guilty. The following were the remarks 'made by the Commonwealth's attorney at the exam ination of Capt. Hayward, and the proceed ings consequent thereupon Colonel Ambers, Commonwealth's At torney, addressed the presiding magistrate and explained that since 1107 the law had dispensed with an examining court; that its duties had been devolved upon the exam ining magistrate; that it was in his power to sa n d the prisoner on with or without bail, or to discharge him at once. He recom mended the latter course. There was no jury which could be empannelled on God's earth, white or black, savage or civilized, which would lied the accused guilty of murder. The feelings of a father rise in every man's bosom aghtnst the commission of such foul crimes and proclaim that "the way of the transgressor is hard indeed." He did not think this was a case in which eitlier the public morals of public saltily ro • qui red the accused to be sent en. lie should be discharged. Then it would warn men of libidinous appetites that when they do these deeds they do them not only at the risk of an avenging father, but of an aveng ing public also. Captain Clopton, counsel for the prisoner, said that he did not think it necessary, after I what had been so well and properly said by the attorney fur the Commonwealth, to make any remarks. The magistrate then said, "Captain Hay ward, stand up." " Under these circumstances I cannot ex press any feelings. I think it my duty to announce your discharge." There was every evidence of approval at the terminations of the case on the part of the of the spectators, but no noisy demon stration was male. The following, was elide rst,l un tine war rant of arrest : " The evidence heard thk day and the party discharged, on the ground of justifia ble netnicide. Jolts G. J. I'." Ilerqamin F. Lindsey, deceased, arrived,: at Chester on Wednesday afternoon on the ZO P. M. train from Richmond. lie went to the store and took a drink. Captain ayward met him these and told hint that a gentleman in the hotel wiehod to See 'dill. Ile took him tip stairs very euully, and, approached the bed, said: "Let me intro duce yim to your Sell and tine victim of your villian v." Fl'ith this he turned the bed clothing down and showed him a new-born infant. Turning to his daughter, who lying in the bed, he asked her if this was not Lindsey's child? She replied that it was, lie then remarked: "Von have hoard what my daughter says, Mr. Lind sey. What have you to say 2" He replied "1 :tin taken on much by surprise that I do not know what to say." Capt. H. put the iluestion again, and f.indsey replied, "That is my child if she says so." Upon this Captain Hayward drew a email sized Smith A Wesson four-shooter and commenced firing. Lindsey, who was sitting upon the i bed at this time iron but made no resist ant,. Captain H. ths harged the four bar rels, two of the shots taking effect, one in the fleshy part of the log, and the other in the abdomen. The wounded man fell, and was taken to his room, where he lingered through the night :mil died- at 111 o'clock the next morning. The Richmond Dispatch says: Miss Hayward, the young holy so foully wronged, is about eighteen years of ago, of pleasing manners and retiring disposition. She resoled in this city since her father moved here. I ler condition was not sus pected up to the time of her delivery. Captain Hayward is a well-known citizen of Richnimul. 110 commanded a cavalry company during the War, and has been for some time proprietor of the Dime saloon. Recently he took charge, with the deceased, of the Chester I Intel. 110 is a gentleman of great popularity, of quiet and una.s.sum ing demeanor, and could only be brought to such a deed under the greatest provoca tion. Ile conducted himself calmly during his examinabon, but it was evident that hu seas laboring under great distress. • Benjamin Lindsey, the deceased, seas a num of great local prominence In Chester field. He has occupied various positions or trust in that county, such as presiding justice, registrar, ,4c.11e was the Conser vative candblate for the Legislature at the last election, and was also a candidate for the nominati o n to the Constitutional Con vention in 1557. lie lived for some years in this city. lie was a titan widely known awl generally much liked. lie was mar ried to Captain Hayward's eldest daughter last I Weember. Decouse of lienerol Wllllom A. Leech. A large number of the people of this city kill be surprised and pained this morn ing by the intelligence of the decease of (leneral AV" ill hum A. Leech, Register of Wills. During his service in the army General I.eech contracted one of the chronic maladies incident to camp life, and has suf fered more or less front it ever since. About ten days ago be became so much indisposed that he went to Cape May, with a view to some relief from sea bathing, but growing worse, he returned to the city on \Vednes day evening, and died yesterday afternoon about four O'clock. General Leech was born February . :td, 1532. Ile was a graduate of the Philadelphia MO School, and en tered the West Point Military Academy June, 1550. Subsequently he studied law, and was admitted to practice at the bar of Philadelphia. At the breaking out of the war he went to the front with the first regiment organized ( Colonel Frank Patterson's), of which he way Major, and was immediately placed in active service. At the expiration of his term of service he was commissioned as Lieutenant-Colonel of the National Guards Ninetieth Pennsylvania Volunteers, tutu continued with them through all the bat • ties of the Potomac. lie was a participant in more than thirty battles. When Gener al Lyle was wounded, Col. Leech took command of the regiment, and in all the bloody battles of the various campaigns lie was found at its head. In the engagement on the Weldon Railroad he was captured by the enemy, and underwent the priva tions of prison life in Libby, Salisbury and Danville. When at length he was released he seas breveted; Brigadier General for gal lant and meritorious conduct on the field. Serving until the close of the war, Gen. Leech resumed the practice of the law, anti so continued until 1f , 67, when be was elect ed Register of Will fur the county of Phila delphia by the Democratic party. In this office he has ;served with distinguished ability and integrity. Gen. Leech was a thorough soldier, winning his military pro motion by merit.

The responding with alacrity, found the Woolen Mill of John Deane, situated on Linn street, between Twenty-third and 'l' wenty-fourth, wrapped in names. owing to the nature of the contents the heat evolved was almost insufferable, neverthe less the members of the various com panies worked like Trojans to check the progress of the flames. Their , efforts, how ever, were unavailing, and in the space of about 0110 hour the place W 14.4 a complete ;rock. The property destroyed was a lour story stone building, rough-cast, 45 by zio feet, and was tilled with the latest and most improved machinery. The firm em ployed on an average above two hun dred hands. These had all gathered for their daily labor when at a tow minutes after 7 o'cforik the alarm war given that the blinding was on lire, and the next scene was the names bursting forth.

The grain growers of the great \Vest have already commenced to discount the advan tages likely to result to thorn should the European war proceed on the extended scales , ' generally expected. Speculation is already* as active in breadstuff,' at Chicago as it is in gold at New York. Wheat, it is re ported, has already advanced 18 to 2U cents per bushel, and other produce in propor tion. For once the hold-back policy prom ises profit to the grain producers and mid dlemen of the \Vest. Farmers, country merchants, owners of elevators, railroads, warehouses, speculators—everybody at the West—have been holding on to their grain through the long protracted period of low Prices. NOW conies thepromise of an unex pected demand for these cereals, and holders aro in high feather. But the fruition of this promise is not yet realized, and we notice a caution in more conservative quarters with regard to the probable foreign demand for our breadstuffs in Europe, and a decla ration in the Chicago Tribune that the ele vators of that city contain more grain (of the old crop) than is usual at this season of the year, and advises as much the safer course for holders, to send their grain for ward while they can realize good prices, than to wait till the opportunity has passed away with the return of peace.

The following figures show the highest range of the thermometer each day: Sunday 97 Thursday 93 Monday 96 Friday 92 Tuesday 9i Saturday 93 Wednesday ao Average nearly The Kent Phenomena of ihe Present . „ When sire wrote, some day's age, in Mier entre to the fearful drought and heat which have almost destroyed the crops on a wide Felt of the European Continent,welaidthe flattering.unction to our soulathat the hot veld of our atmosphere was atan end. But. the solar fervors have returned upon us duringthe past week with redoubled fierce= titres, While the temperature ha New York city his ranged, befWeen siltbe' the morning and .six o'clock in the evening, from ninetydegreestoninety-eightdogrees Fahrenheit, in the shade, and therein 'has exceeded the rate at Galveston, New Or- Jeans, Key West and Havana, the heat has been even more extreme at several points in the West. At St. Louis it sent the mer cury up to one hundred and four in the ahaderom the MI, while ,rit. ,, Pen ' iF drove up the fickle fluid to one hundred andand six on the 21st inst. These are rates alintist beyond human endurance, for it must ho remembered that in the greater number of the homes occupied by the poor er classes the heat ascends froml ten to fif teen degrees above the outside temperature, and that here the aged and the juvenile members or the household have chiefly to re main. It is impossible not urfear that along continuance of such more than African tor ridity must result in wide-spread epidemic. An increase of but a very few degrees would materially impair the chances of ex istence for thousands whose daily avoca tions call them out of doors. As it is, while we write this Sunday afternoon, the colos sal marble imago of St. Paul, in the niche on the facade of the grave old church di rectly opposite the/fersad (Mice, on Broad way, seems, with half open mouth and up turned face, to pant, not merely through exhaustion, but with an expression of awe, as though beholding apocalyptic portents in the glowing firmament. The stonewalls of the adjacent buildings radiate the heat like huge burning glasses, and while it dazzles the gaze to look at them the reflect ed beams of heat thrown back from them strike on the skin like fiery darts. Were the entire City Hall Park not shorn as now of half its fair proportions, but fully restor ed and converted into ono vast cluster of sparkling water jets and fountains, the thirsty, palpitating multitude would well nigh drink it dry. Poor humanity actually suffers at every motion and with every stop, and the real death roll is steadily in creased far beyond the ordinary returns. Upon examination of our exchanges we find that this intense heat extends-over a zone in America of about eight hundred miles in width, north and south, and reach ing from here to the Pacific in longitude. At nearly all points within that zone . the temperature is admitted to be higher than was ever known there before for the same longth of time, and up to the latest moment of advice there seems to have been no di minution. If we now turn our attention to the Eastern Continent a similar state of things con fronts us there. The )attitude of Paris swelters under a heat of ninety-live degrees in the shade, the parks of London are so bared of herbage and exhausted of water that their deer are half fed upon foli age and twigs clipped from the tress, and summits of the Alps, where they aro seen, gleam with a wavering and baleful efful gence, as though they, too, were tongues of tire darting up from the earth in its ag ony. The European belt of fervent heat corresponds almost exactly with our own, I and, no doubt, the ocean link between is glowing with nearly equal severity, the re lief there, if any, resulting from the fogs and clouds, accompanied by gusts of wind and dashes of rain which such intense evaporation must occasion. Astronomers and physiologists aro busy endeavoring to study out the causes of this exceptional condition, the aggregate effect of which upon our planet is equal to forms so stupendous as to strike the unaccustom ed mind with terror. The general conclu sion is that the entire solar system is pass ing through a region of the starry heavens, in its sublime circuit around the remoter centre, that exerts peculiar electrical effects upon not only all the attendant orbs, but ou the vast luminary which furnishes our chief supply of light and heat. The main question now to thoughtful minds is how much longer these heat phenomena aro to last, and what will be the summing up of their results to the nations directly affected? That they are to be followed by further dis turbance of the elements, great storms of wind, thunder and lightning, and possibly by visible electrical manifestations in the beavens,of romarkablesplendor and power, it is quite natural, on scientific principles, to anticipate. But we may have confidence that the Power in whose presence "the channels of the sea appear" and "the form • dations of the world aro discovered" has ordained and governed all these dispensa tions for the best.—N. 3". Herrad. Prices of Grain—Row the Farmers Suf fer From Radical Legislation.. The price of wheat on the 13th of July in Liverpool was, for No. 2 red Western, 0 shillings per 100 pounds, which, at the rate of gold that day 114 per cent.), is exactly equivalent to ,j 2.453 currency. On the Odd July the price iu Liverpool for the same wheat was los. 3d. per 100 pounds, or at the rate of gold on that day (20 per cent.), equivalent t0:32.97.} currency, or a rise of 49 cents. Let the following table, therefore, explain a strange anomaly: RED WESTERN W It P.I.AT cot 100 POUNI,I. .10)1/ 11. /Lily= RI., In I.Lverpool (reduc ed to currencyE2.97‘4 19c. In New York 2.:13 The question, therefore, is very perti nent : Who gains the other 29 cents? The Europeans truly pay us 49 cents in curren cy more to-day for MO pounds of wheat than they did on the 13th while the farmer does not get much more than two-lifths of it. . . The explanation is its deplorable as it is humiliating,w Melt the following table may explain : FRERIFIT FOR WHEAT PEP, SIXTY POUNDS July it. To Liverpool, by steam_ (1 d. a 7,1. 12.1. To Liverpool, by sailing shlpv, Out. .A. Thus it will be seen that the odd 20 cents currency more per 100 pounds of wheat is swallowed up by the extra freight, which has doubled. It is lamentable to state that the English alone have now steam shipping in our ports; that our poor and crazy com mercial navy, consisting of old wooden hulks, is ignored and neglected ; that the sudden withdrawal of 10,000 tons of Ger man steam shipping per week to Europe has, in the absence of American or other steam shipping, delivered or grain ship ping over completely into the hands of the English. NOW, two things are perfectly clear: If at this moment the United States had, as they are entitled to have and have for live years yearned to have, a large steam fleet, freights would not have risen in seven or eight days 100 per cent. ; and the farmers, instead of only getting two-fifths advantage of the rise in grain in Europe, would have reaped the full benefit. Secondly, instead of the English earning some ton million dollars in freight, which li they will do before the frost sets in, our own people would have at least shared in the profit, instead of looking on. And now conies the sequence, which is as dißgracetul as it is oppressive. The farmers cannot get by three-lifths the full advance in the value for their wheat, because their own country has no shipping, to compete with the Eng lish. Their own countrymen have rte steam fleet: because government refuses to allow them to buy foreign ships, and they are unable to build thorn at home. They are linable to build iron ships at home, because Messrs. Morrell, of Pennsylvania, Gris wold, and others, have large iron works, and levy a tax of from flO to 70 per cent. on iron and the material that goes into ship building. And the loss, disgrace, and op pression serve our people right, because they have not yet risen to hurl the oppres sors front power, and place those in their stead who will do a free people justice.—N.

Captain Burgess writes that on the night of the 25th of May, when twenty miles north of the Equator and going at the rate of eight knots an hour under all sail, with a good lookout and side-lights burning, lie heard the second mate shout "hard up.'' He jumped on deck and saw a light two points ott on the weather bow and they instantly came in contact, striking the bark Forward of the fore-rigging and sinking her almost immediately. During the collision six men got onboard of the Bengal. A boat was lowered to search for other survivors, but did not find any until after daylight, when two men were found floating on a spar. One said that the collision was the fault of the bark, as there Was no one at the wheel, and all hands were employed catching water from the shower which was then falling. Those saved were the first and second mates, the carpenter and four seamen. Those lost were Captain Grant, his sister, three boys and two men. From Fortress Monroe, Va.

This the ladies at first refused to do, but, becoming frightened, Mrs. Geo. Brubaker jumped from the wagon and at tempted to make her escape. The negro threW a stone at her which struck her on the head and knocked her down. Be thou -attacked her and almost tore the clothes from her body, severely injuring her, and evidently intending to rob and commit a rape upon her. Mrs. Benjamin Brubaker, in the meantime, escaped from the wagon, ' and ran to the residence of widow Loucks, same two hundred yards distant, where she raised an alarm, mud Mr. Abraham Lain-ks soon C. 31110 to the rescue with a shot-gun, but the negro had in the meantime escaped. Mrs. Brubaker's head and face were con siderably. cut and bruised, and for a time she was rendered insensible, but on her restoration she came on to Lancaster in company with her sister-in-law. The novo is said to be a desperately had man, having about a year ago attempted, in company with two other blacks, a simi lar outrage on other ladies, which oas fortunately frustrated. It is to be hoped that the scoundrel will this time be brought to justice and receive a punishment con, Mensurate with his crime. Mrs. Brubaker left Lancaster for her home at noon on Sat urday. She says she fully recognized the negro, who is well-known in the neighbor hood of the occurrence. A RETunNun CA LIFORNIAN.—We had the pleasure, on Wednesday, of meeting with Mr. Richard Wilsou,son ofJohn D. Wilson. deceased, of Salisbury township, who now re-visits the scones of his youth, after a long absence. Mr. Wilson left Laneaster county in the winter of 1553, going first to San Francisco. Front that city he soon found his way to the mining region of Tuol lummence county, where ho was engaged in the construction of ono of the largest aqueducts erected in the placer diggings. This was in the flush days of California, when new regions were constantly attract ing the adventurous, and when life with the minors was one of reckless prodigality. They would amass large sums during the week, and spend every dollar between S.st nrday night and Monday morning. The descriptions given by Mr. Wilson of life at the mines in those days, is full of exciting interest. Leaving this location, Mr. Wil son crossed the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and secured a large interest in the celebra ted Esmeralda mines. Hu was elected Clerk and Recorder of Mono county, in which the mines are located, and at the end of his term of office was admitted to the bar. Recrossing the Sierra Nevadas, he was appointed E. S. Surveyor of mineral lands for the sth mineral district of Cali fornia. Resigning this position, he return ed to Nevada, an d now holds the position of County Surveyor of Pine county, a lu crative office which entails much labor. Mr. Wilson is largely interested in smelt ing works in Nevada, and owns extensive tracts of mineral and agricultural lands iu California. This is the first time he has re visited Lancaster county since lie loft it in 1553, and ho remarked that he found him self almost a stranger at home and among his kindred. Ile will tarry among his re lations for a short time, and will then re turn to the Pacific coast. SeDDEN DEATH.—We regret to aIitIOUIWO the sudden death by apoplexy of Mr. Chas. Francisco's, the General Superim tendant of tho Pennsylvania Railroad C'ont pally, which took place at G o'clock on Saturday at Cresson, Pa., on the summit of the Alleghenies, whither he went with his family a few days ago to spend the heated term. Mr. Franciseus wasVe of Lancas ter, his father keeping many years ago a small jewelry establishment in East King stree on the site of Jacob plumbing and gas rating establishment, and Mrs. Franciscus kept a millinery store next door. Mr. Franciseus' first connection with the railroad business was as a clerk in the Columbia office of Leech Co.'s freight line on the State road. When the Pennsylvania Railroad was built, he Was made freight agent at Pittsburgh, and whmi the Phil'a and Columbia Railroad was pur chased by thoCompany,Mr.Franciscus wiLs selected as first superintendent of the Phil adelphia Division of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad—a position which ho held for a number of years, and from which he voluntarily retired. At the time of his death, he was the company's t ien oral Agent, and has filled the position with marked ability. Ile was a strietdisciplinarian, was universally popular, and leaves a record that any railroad man might be proud of. Ills remains were taken to his late residence in Philadelphia. Ito leaves a wife and daughter, and a host of devoted friends to mourn his sudden death. STRUCK. 111" LIGIITNING.—During the storm last evening between S and 9 o'clock, the residence of Mr. John Falck, in East fierman street was struck, but whether the fluid passed down the lightning rod or not is not known, as the only evidence of the stroke is to be seen in the hydrant in the bark yard and the service pipe that supplies it in front, which is some sixty feet distant. The hydrant was not injured but the service pipe near the pave wash was completely broken oil, allowing a stream of water to gush out that was well calculated to alarm the Water Committee these dry times. Some persons think that the lightning passed down the rod, the bottom of which is near the service pipe, and expended itself by spreading in both directions. Others think it struck the fence above the hydrant (a board at that point showing evidence or having been struck and ran along the service pipe to the main in the street. Mr. and Mrs. Fair]: were at the time sit ting in the yard under the grape arbor, net more than six or eight feet front the hy drant, and although the report was deafen ing and stunned them to some extent, they received no injury. There were several "timer loud thunder claps during the storm, but the lightning fell outside the city. There was a " big blow" but only enough rain fell to decently lay the dust. Horse: ENTEnEn.---Tho dwelling house of Mrs. E. It. Smith, in East Lemon street, was ransacked from cellar to garret. Mrs. S., a few weeks ago, left for a visit to Mary closing her house and leaving the key in charge of a servant girl, who is staving with the family of Samuel Hess until Mrs. Smith's return home. On last Sunday eve wing when this young woman, who bad the key to the house, anti occasionally Visits the premises, went into the house, she found that it had been visited since she had been there before. She informed the neigh bors of th, • facts, who made an examina tion, which resulted in the discovery that every room in the builtling had been searched for valuables, the contents of all the drawers and closets being strewn over the floor. It will not be known until i\lrs. S. returns whether anything has been sto len. The house must have been entered sometime between Friday and Sunday evening, as the young woman who has the care of it found nothing disturbed at her last visit, which was on Friday. O mire ItY.—The funeral of Mr. ,Jacob _Frantz took place from his late residence near Leaman Place, on Wednesday morn- ing, and was the lirgest gathering of the kind that has taken place in the neighbor hood for a nonlber of years, there being about :itio carriages and over 14040 persons present. The deceased was about 70 years of age, and bail a largeimd extensive circle Hof relatives and friends, all of whom scorned to be present on the sad occasion. Mr. Frantz was beloved and respected by all who knew him, and was particularly kind to the poor—requesting shortly before his death that all who desired to follow his re mains to their last resting place should be provided with conveyances. At 11 o'clock the latge procession moved in the direction of the burying ground, near Strasburg. Whilst the community will feel the )oss of so good a citizen, the loss to us is fell' him eternal gain. IL L. IL Divimmury AT TIIE PitisoN.—For some time past we have been aware of the fact that there was a rupture between Mr. Sen senio, the keeper, and Mr. Eaby, the clerk of the prison, which resulted in the sudden departure of the latter official, without even saving good-bye to his chief. The rumors which came to our knowledge we thought best to withhold. But the Expres.s, which takes special delight in displaying to the public the dirty linen of its Radical triends, want; to know "what's the matter?" and this question, Mr. Eaby says shall he fully answered,its he has demandedau"investiga tion," the result of which shall be laid before the public. Thereby hangs a tale. Some rich developments may be expected when the affair collies off, which will show that even prison walls are not strong enough to exclude that hideous monster with the great green eyes. Tire COLUMBIA AND PonT DePosiT RAILROAD.—The work on this railroad is progressing. The track is laid to a point north of the mouth of the Octoraro creek, and Mr. Hutchinson, engineer, is now en gaged with a corps 'of men in permanently locating the route of the road from Peach Bottom to Columbia. We are glad to hear that this important enterprise is being pushed to completion. The new road will be of great benefit to the people of Fulton, Drumore, Marcie and Conestoga townships and wilt greatly facilitate the shipment of the farm products of those townships to the ports of Baltimore and Philadelphia. By means of this road the slate of the Peach. Bottom quarries can be shipped in all dire, tions, and a new impetus will he given to ' this important and growing branch of in dustry. KILLED ON TIIE RAILROAD.-011 Satur day evening last William Redman, a con ductor on a freight train, was knocked off the car by the bridge at Mountville. The injpred man was taken to his home at Cio lutubia, where ho died on Sunday after noon.

As it was but a small atliiir, only, a few Radical candidates were present, but those who were, are sure of getting the 25 negro votes of this township at the primary elec tions. of course all went for the purpose of being hencritted religiously notpulit iced- I iy ; but our venerable friend, who is a eau- Maw.) for , deserves all the negro votes iu the county for the interest he Man- I ifestial in Brother Cull' 's sermon on Sun- day afternoon. Betereservices commenced, he took a scat near the front where he was soon surrounded by his sable friends of both sexes, and as the day was extremely warm, it required, no doubt, considerable effort on his part to appear indifferent to the perfumery with which he was sur rounded, but he undoubtedly - remembered that ••he that endured' unto the end, etc;' and although the perspiration Bowed from every pore, until his light linen clothes were thoroughly saturated, lie endured it manfully until the end of the services, re gardless of the heat and of the eologne. I t was refl.:irked that he must prefer African 'scent to musk, cologne, and all the triple extracts. After services we saw him in very earnest conversation with Brothers Cull and Bos ton, undoubtedly on the subject of the ser mon in which he was so much interesnal. We sincerely hope that ho may ho rewarded for his interest in religions matters. One of the few white (skinned) young tad.-4 of •• Nigger Hollow " has been vio lating the Fifteenth Amendment, as she has nails distinctions on account of race or color, but as she has discriminated in favor of negroes, we suppose the penalties lin bv Sunnier's bill, 11U11110L reach her case. We should like to know whether that infamous bill annuls the laws of Penn sylvania against adultery. Surely amalga if not adultery with amalgamation) is (ate of the fruits to be expected from Radical teachings. ` The negro race will not Leconte extinct in this country as long is white women (or girls) give birth to negro children. U. S. LIBERTY SlyrAltE ITEMS.—The hay and wheat have peen harvested and safely in the barn without much difficulty, except all occasional shower, which moderated the intensely heated air, and for the tinie be ing the scorching rays ola burning sun. ddie farmers are beginning to harvest their oats, which will he an average crop. Corn makes a splendid appearance and growing luxuriantly. There will be an abundant yield of !finite throughout Drumore and liLljoining townships, unless a heavy storm of Wind and rain prostrate it, or a drought ho about caring thine. A most delightful mid refreshing shower visited tine western end or Drumore on Wednesday evening, the 20th inst., winch was greatly needed, as it had been dry and exceedingly warm a few days previous; the mercury ranging considerably over one hundred. The rain was preceded by a heavy gale of wind from the northwest, but luckily far the corn, which to now tas seling, the wind spent its fury before the rain came on. Carden vegetables look reasonably well, also potatoes, and should there be a suffi ciency of rain from now until the potato is made, to keep the earth moist to the root, there will be a boundful supply of that de licious esculent—the poor man's bread. M r. Samuel McMichael, while liars esting for Dr. J. M. heaver, near the Buck, tell oil a load of hay and broke his leg below the knee; it was a frightful fracture, pieces cif the bone protruding through the flesh and skin, but receiving prompt surgical attendance, it is presumed he will do well. That estimable Minister of the Gospel, Rev. J. V. Eckert, of Lancaster, preached trust eloquent and impressive sermon in the lodge room of the (loud Templars, Spring Valley hlall, Martic twp., Sunday the 17th inst. Tice day was excessively warm, nevertheless a large concourse assembled to hear the gospel preached in spirit and In truth by that truly pious minister, who is clearly beloved in this neighborhood. There is a reasonable prospect of the Co lumbia and Maryland Line Railroad being constructed at an early day. The engineers aro now on the linelocating and staking off the road. They have reached the vicinity of Phite'.s Eddy, and have taken rooms at the Thirds Eddy Hotel, where they will receive every attention to mako them com fortable by C. B. Bostick, the enterprising and accommodatiug proprietor, whose pro perty will be rendered utterly useless in consequence of the building of this road. litit it is to be hoped that lie will obtain damages sufficient to compensate him for his loss. It is reported that Mr. Joseph Eckert is passing along the line for the pur pose of making arrangements with prop erty holders for damages. This railway is greatly needed in the lower end of the county. That part of the road which is in Maryland, is now under contract, and la borers are at work up as far as Frazer's • Point_ If the contemplated Hanover .June• thin and Oxford Railroad should be pushed ccompletion, it would not only beautify but greatly enhance the value of the lower end. the river is now q wile and the I,w . miss season has ended. The liveliness along the river, such as is seen during the Spring of the year when the fishermen and the jolly raft,men with their songs and jests enliven the scene and makes life a pleasure, have all departed. Occasionally can be seen a solitary individual seated on shore, or on a lone rock in the stream, with roil and line, angling for small fish. When laborers are put upon the railroad it will dispel the gloom and exchange this mo notony for the freshness and vigor of life. 'oI.EIIAIN ITE3ts.-A grand social Croquet I'i.•-Sir was held in the beautiful Grove near Salem School, in this township, on Tuesday last. It was gotten up under the auspices of our gallant young friends Messrs. Phillips and I After playing a short time, a sudden shower of rain caused the young ladies to seek shelter in the bug gies, but when the clouds broke away and the bright sun shot his genial rays through the trees, the game was renewed with in creased animation. Each party brought a basket tilled with pies, cakes and other dainties, and altogether it was a scone long to be remembered by those who were pres ent. In regard to playing Croquet, our boys and girls of Colerain are willing to throw Omen the gauntleCto any in the nullity, who pride themselves on skilful wink. (,'ornhv 'Alanle's barn-raising, Il fe ca SincE, Samuel Johnson, the head ea .enter, met with a narrow escape from a Kerillll,4 injury and perhaps from death. While engaged in putting up the rafters a the highest part of the harm the lath tha supported him suddenly broke, and M only saved himself from falling by cling ing ton rafter. Few men in a like situa tion would have escaped. It caused every One to shudder who saw his danger. Itlack berries are almost tts plentiful here as they were last year, and the folks are busily engaged gathering this delicious fruit. Wild Fox Grapes are also very pentitul along the different branches of the Octoraro. • .

FAR)! ITE3l24.—The wheat crop in the seat/JP/VI pprpA4 of nu r comity, Iv WO has just been harvesleit:,hes 'not yielded as well as anticipated. Thu yield will nut be more than ono-third as large as is custom ary. The farmers are now busy at their oats, of which there will be iv fair yield. ' The storm of Wind and rain •of yesterday evening will inake•the cutting of the oats much more difficult than It would have been had no storm Occurred. Fortunately a large amount of the oats was in svrath, and consequently unaffected by the storm. The recent rain will greatly aid the torn, and a large crop may be expected. The growing grass looks well, and the crop which has been recently harvested cannot be excelled; being large in quantity and excellent in quality. P E RSO N A 1.. —Ou r fellow-citizen, Thomas A.
