PRUSSIAN LOSSES
What the War has Already Cost the
Fatherland—ollielal Statements.
The Berlin correspondent of the TimcB,
writing under date of August 22, says :
"At length the first (Alicia losses in the
field have been made public. They only
fulfill too completely the melancholy an
ticipations with which we saw the troops
going out to the war. Although restricted
to officers, and referring only to a few in
troductory engagements, they contain
figures which will not easily bo erased
from the minds of men. I will just give
you a few examples. As you may be aware,
a Prussian regiment on a war footing has
3009 men, with 69 officers. Of these 69 offi
cers the 74th Itegimont ( Llanoverians) lost
no less than 30 in killed and wounded at
Wissemburg. Tho 77th (also Hanoverians)
on the same occasion lost 25 officers; the
39th (Rhinelanders) 26; the Sal (Hessians)
19; the 11th ( Thu ringians) IG ; the 63d (Hes
sians)l4; the.iild ( NVestphalians) 11; theSith
(Nassatters) 9; the 80th ( Hessians) 8, etc.—
Still worse was iL at Woorth, where the
l'russians were for live mortal hours op
posed to the French, who were stationed
un the hills, and could not be dislodged
until taken in flank by the Wurtembergers
and Bavarians. 'Mere the 50th Regiment
(Pose hers) had 32 dead and wounded offi
cers; the 50th( l'oseners) 23 ; the 7th (King's
Grenadiers—Lower Silesians and German
l'ostmers) :IS ; the 47th ( Lower Silesians)
29; the kith (Lower Silesians) 33; the 57th
(Lower Silesians) 30; the 9th (Westphalias)
20; the 37th (Westplialians) 25, etc. What
terrible conclusions must be derived from
these statistics in respect of the higher
grades as to the number of casualties
aiming the rank and file, I need not say.
But the 1110,t frightful carnage of alt in
the curlier part of the campaign was
at SlM:heron, whose steep and precipi
toils heights defended by a tearing fire froin
can non, mit raj I lenses, and chassepots,were
thrice, assaulted in vain, and at last carried
at the point of ow bayonet. Ini this spot
10,000 Prussians, gradually increased to
'27,000, struggled against, 7 10,000 French.
Though the official list Mies not yet extend
to this sanguinary encounter, there can be
no doubt :Ls to theeorreettiess 010 private

perial. She I witted the palace Jty jhe en
trance on the- luny, having W rrtrTher but
one servant. In the morning Ferdinand
d'i.esseps, a relative of the Empress, went
to her. and advised that she sign her abdica
tion. She scented to agree to this, and tak
ing the draft, of the act went to the hall
where the Ministers sat in !council. They
all declared she must not sign the paper.
Princess Clotilde, say the journals, was
the last of the Imperial family to leave the
palace. She has gone to Prangins, where
her children are. It wait evident from the
appearance of tire rooms in the palace that
the departure of the Empress was hasty,
Trunks were scattered about in various
places, and articles. of apparel were lying
about in disorder. In the Emperor's room
were a number of hats, on all sides empty
cigar boxes, a great number of phials con
taining phosphate of iron, books, papers, a
revolver case, and piles of journals. In
the rooms of the Prince Imperial Wore his
books and an unfinished historical exercise,
written in a plain round hand, and on the
floor his leaden soldiers were lying :Wont.
It is stated that the officials remaining in
charge of the palace, and all those whom
the Empress had so favored, deserted her,
and not one remained to see her ME Noth
ing inside the palace was injured. Some of
the National Guard required the cooks to
prepare them a meal, and they drank some
of the wino in the Imperial cellars, but
nothing else was touched, except that the
N. on the railings about the palace was
torn off or covered with rags and handker
chiefs.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Falllae of a Bridge Over Tom's River
with a. Party of Sunday School Excur•

--Fall Particulars of the Distressing
=M22
- •
LONG BRANCH, Sept. B.—A pall of gloom
darkly overshadows this place. A blight
of woo bows down under its crushing
weight many grief-stricken hearts. Deso
lation and despair pervade many house
holds. Rachel mourning for her children
and refusing to be comforted has now its
sad parallel. A few words toll the painful
story, but it will be many years belore the
melancholy events of to-day are forgotten.
At about half-past eight o'clock this
morning, while a party of Sabbath School
excursionists were crossing a foot bridge
over Tom's river,the bridge suddenly gave
way, precipitating them into the river.—
Eight wore drowned, several are missing,
and a number sustained more or less se
vere injuries by pieces of the bridge falling
on them. The following are the facts of
the terrible disaster, as given in detail, be
ginning with the excursion party.
The occasion was the annual excursion
of the Sabbath School attached to the Me
thodist Centenary church of this place, of
' which Rev. Mr. Draw is pastor. It has
been the habit for years of making a spe
cial feature of this yearly holiday turn-out
of the Sabbath School. This year more
pains than usual was taken regarding it,
and for this purpose the Sabbath Schools
of Methodist churches at Atlanticville, Ea
tonton, Brockport, and other places in the
vicinity were invited to participate in the"
day's festivities. A band of music was
engaged from Red Bank, and the expects
Lion was a most pleasant one to the parti
cipants. While the majority of the excur
sionists VMS made up of the Sabbath School
children and their teachers, many of the
parents and others of the various congrega-
Lions also wont.
The party left the railroad depot there at
a planter past seven o'clock. There were
eleven cars filled with the excursionists.
Most of the children were dressed in white,
. • -
and happiness and innocence gleamed in
their youthful countenance. There were
large baskets tilled with cold meats, cakes
and other appurtenances or their expected
midday lunch in the beautiful grove at
Tom's river, twenty-live miles from where,
during the summer and fall mouths, fre
quent piemics are held. Having taken on
it, last installment of excursionists,
swiftly onward sped the train. All
were happy and looking forward to a
day of rare and complete enjoyment. AL
length reaching Tom's river, the train
stopped, and the excursionists left
the cars. Of course, as is usual in such
eases, the ehildren were all eagerness. 'rho
railroad track tiers rims parallel with the
river. 'rho grove where the picnic was to
be held was across the river, over which is,
or rather seas, the fatal bridge. 'this bridge
is a sort of double bridge, that J i be main
part is for vehicles, With a side ath Lion for
foot passengers. Its length is about sixty
feet, and the part used by foot passengers
was some six. feet, Wide. Upon the latter
those of the excursionists leaving the cars
first and teachers and other attendants hur
riedly rushed. The bridge was nearly eOni
pact With them. A number had passed
over and others came crowding on. Suit
there was a creak, then a giving way,
and down twine this side of the bridge with
a terrible crash.
It was Ind the Work of a 111,11,11 t Quick
er than I can write it the tragedy was at its
i•ompletion. Down him, the water se, en
feet below the bridge and thirty feet deep
went this mass of human beings. The fear-

mingled with wild human shrieks. The
seem., was indescribable. The wide but

People from the village, who heard the
shrieks, ran to render their aid. But fur

The Siego of Strosbourw
LON Dos, Sept. 7, 1 70.—A special eon,.
)101ent of the //era/d, writing under dot
the sth inot., from the headquarters o
the i;erman forces besieging Strasbourg
gives the following amount of the opera
thins:
titceived a letter of introduction from
mutual friend to Baron Von Itroecklin,
which insured me not only hospitality of
lho true Arab type, but the means of com
municating the incidents of the siege to
the reactors of the Herald. Immediately
,on my arrival, the first thing I dkl wa.
aseeini to the top of the brewery, not
e headquarters of the hospital servive
ere I was enabled to examine the &tome,
city at a distance of seine two hundred
yards.
My host, 11.tron Von liroeckliu, ex
plained tome the real plan which has thus
far controlled operations. The hest order
issued woos to invest the place In such a
11110010 f float 110 SlllllllO4 iu considerable
quantities could enter, and to prevent com
munication the city and tho out
side world. These measures were prompt
ly and successfully taken, and were added
to by a not too destructive bombardment,
which it was hoped would have the effect
of cotnpelling a capitulation of the garrison.
This moral pressure utterly failed. The
Governor of Strasbourg remained hostile
and defiant and endeavored to strengthen
his position. orders were then issued for
the bringing up of the siege force, which
at once commenced operations. A. third
parallel was soon completed and the heavy
guns mounted opened lire.
What destruction ensued ! The avenues
of the city were soon tilled with debris, as
if a hurricane had passed over the place.
The Cathedral and public buildings were
partially destroyed and magnitieent houses
were made ruins.
Strewing the streets were the dead and
dying. One shell burst inn the midst of a
schoolroom full of children, killing seven
little girls.
In the two most advaneed batteries tine
artillery officers assigned to the duty of di
recting the tiring were constantly heard
exclaiming: "Twenty yards more of ele
vation to the right. There, now, that will
o. First rate!' This last sentence was
tiered after the gun had been tired, and
- -
tho clouds of yellow smoke clearing away
proved, indeed, that the firing was - " first
rate."
The suburbs have suffered fearfully, en
ailing ruin to the inhabitants. Whole
tarishes have lied, losing everything.
To prevent the recurrence of disonlers
vhich have occured the following order
has been issued by the General command
ing the German forces:
In buildings deserted by the inhabi
tants disorders of a most ruffianly charac
ter have occurred which cannot fail to ro-
fleet gravely upon the discipline and honor
of the troops. It is expected that officers
will take the most energetic measures to
prevent the recurrence of such disorders,
and that they will have such localities
strictly watched and permit no one to enter,
still less to plunder. Should resistance be
encountered in carrying out these meas
ures the utmost severity must be inflicted
upon such brutal ruffians. They must be
shot down on the spot."
Accompanying this order is a comman
to turn over to the judgments of court'
martial all soldiers convicted of extortion
and for officers to compel their men to of
servo the strictest discipline.
Before long I expect to send you an ac
count of the triumphal entry of the tierma
Mrces into Strasbourg, as there is no toss
ble chance of a successful resistance.
Terrible Marine Diiviter.
LON DON, Sept.ll.—Admiral >t ilne !oaken
the f o llowing report of the circumstances
attending the disappearance of the iron-clad
Captain: I was on hoard the Captain on
the morning of September iith. Everything
was in order. A sailing trial began in the
afternoon. The breeze was moderate, and
the ships carried royals. At 1 I'. M. the
breeze freshened, and the Captain Wan mak
ing front 11 to 13 knots. It was observed
that the sea was washing, over her deck, her
gunwales sometimes hieing level with the
water. I left the Captain atii.3o P. M., when
she was twenty miles oil Finisterre. The
evolutions wero resumed, and continued
from 0 to 10 I'. 11., the ships being at their
designated positions. A westward course
was taken. At 11 I'. M.. the wind freshen
ed, the barometer fell and a gale sprang up,
and our sails wero reeled. The Captain
wtts close astern of the ilag-ship, steaming
steadily, and gaining on us. I noticed at
1.15 A. M„ that she was six points abaft
our beam, keeling over very much. II er
light, a fow minutes later, was still visible,
alter which a thick rain shut her out.
At daylight the ships of the fleet were
visible, but the Captain seas missing. The
squadron scattered to search for her and
fragments of the wreck were found, but no
survivors could lie discovered.
LATER.—Eighteen of the crew of the Cap
tain reached Cape Corropedo and report
that another boat full of people was stove
and upset and all on board were lost.
Losnos, Sept. 10.—At 11 A. M. to day a
largo ship, name unknown, struck on the
Gordon Sands, on the east coast of Eng
land, and soon became a total wreck. The
sea WaS running so high at the time that no
boat could approach her from the shore.
The fate of the crew is unknown. On a
board which floated from the wreck were
the words "New York."
A White Girl Sold to the Indians
The Perrysville (Mo.) Union relates the
following:
We hear it rumored that Miss Josephine
Bright, a young lady who was raised in this
county has been captured by Indians in
the west somewhere. It seems she had
been living near Chester some years, and
some time ago a family with whom she was
on intimate terms moved west, and per
suaded her to ho along, which she did.—
Recently the family has returned, but the
young lady did not. Her friends inquired
about her, but received evasive answers ;
but a little girl of the family said her pa had
sold her to the Indians for a heap of mon
ey." We understand her brother, Henry
Bright, has gone to look after her. The
above is only a neighborhood rumor, and
we give It for what it is worth. We hope it
is not true.
Land Sales of the Union Pacific n
The sales of the Land Department of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company for the
mouth of August were 14,588 54-100 acres,
amounting to $78,755 90, averaging $5 40
per acre. The total land solos of the Com
pany amount to $1,042,597 77.
A Daring VoyNre
The following detailed account of the
rash and foolish, but fortunately successful
voyage, of the little boat " City of Ragusa"
across the Atlantic is given in the Boston
Herald:
Ninety days ago a tiny . boat, less than 20
feet in length, and carrying two men and a
dog, left Liverpool, England, with the
avowed purpose of crossing the Atlantic to
Now York. The bold and hazardous
project was the subject of much amaze
ment at the time, but since then
the startling events which have been
transpiring on the scene of the event
ful war in Europe have absorbed the in
terest of the public to such a degree that the
bold adventurers have been to a great ex
tent forgotten. Information has been re
ceived of their whereabouts, however, at
several points on the voyage, from other
crafts by which they have been seen, and
about five o'clock yesterday afternoon the
tiny craft was signalled approaching our
harbor. At 6 o'clock the collector's tug
started down the harbor and met the ven
tursome marines at about 8 o'clock, op
posite the lower light, and towed them in.
The boat which has thus accomplished a
voyage so hazardous and so altogether
novel is named the City of Ragusa, is twen
ty feet in length over all, six feet beam
and two feet eight inches in depth,
drawing two feet of water; she is yawl
rigged, and spreads seven yards of can
vass ; is fitted with a two-bladed steam
propeller, worked by hand, and her hull is
of wood, the boards beingonly one-half an
inch in thickness. In this miniature ship
are all the arrangements for cooking, etc.,
and the capacity for carrying provisions
and water sufficient for the voyage which
has just been so successfully terminated.
The " crew" consists of two men, John
Charles Berkeley, the commander, and
Nicholas Primoraz. These aro the two
men who, actuated, as the former says, by
a " mere whim," were induced to make
this attempt, which few could regard as
anything but foolhardiness after seeing the
craft in which they launched their destinies
and hung their lives by a mere thread.—
Tho former has followed the sea from
bov
hood, and has passed an eventful life. lie
saved two lives elf the coast of K out on the
11.5 th of September, 105 4 , for which he was
awarded a medal by the British Humane
Society. lie is an Irishman and has a
home - in Dublin. Ills companion is an
Austrian.
On 'Thursday, Jima 'l, these daring spirits
launched their frail hark, and, accompan-
iod only by a (log, left Liverpool. In ten
clays they put into queenstown, where
they were obliged to remain your days in
order to have some caulking done on their
boat, whiell was leaking, and left there On
the 10th, having on board One ton of ballast
and r:00 weight of coals. They took the
northern route, the same as taken by the
Cambria, the prevailing winds being west
erly, and for the first thirty-live days they
suffered a great deal, being kept wet
through continually. They were compell
ed to eat their meat raw, which added to
their discomfort, and helped to discourage
them. After being IS days out they lie
eaTile short of firewood, with no means of
getting a supply. At this time they very
Ittekily picked up a barrel containing
about four gallons of tar, which was a per
re et godsend, they using, the tar upon the
leeks anti the barrel for fuel. tin the Rh
of July they celebrated "The Ikty of the

that she rode-the heavy gales so staunchly.

The L.,e of the Great Iron-Clad.
The British turret ship "Captain," which
was reported in our cable despatches, pub
lished on Saturday, as having foundered at
sea off Pinisterre, Spain, carrying down all
on board,some live hundred persons,was the
prido of the. British navy. She was consid
ered decidedly superior, for war purposes,
to the great ship "Monarch,' which
brought the remains of Mr. Peabody to
this country. One of the London journals
not long ago devoted a column of euthu
,llitstic laudation to her performances at
sea, in which she Wal said to have gone
through all the evolutions of battle in bad
weather, and was represented as having
used her formidable batteries with great
accuracy', broadside on to a heavy sea, and
been handled all tho while With the ease of
a pilot boat. Indeed, according to that ac
count, the solution had at last been reached
of a turret ship, invulnerable in defense
and terrible in attack, which should at the
same time be managed almost as readily as
- - -
a river steamboat. In:tine, the " Captain
was considered the consu unuution ofnavt
excellence, and now we hear of tier a
having gone down in a gale which a Britisl
Ship in her neighborhood survived. Thi.
is a catastrophe, indeed, not only to the un
fortunate seamen on board, lint in its Lear
ings upon the reliability of this class o
vessels for naval warfare, the only kind o
warfare upon which England can depent
l'or defense from invasion.
The building of tine" Captain," as well a.
similar great iron-clads, has excited consid
erable controversy in England. Sine was
huge ship of 4,27•2 tons burden, armed will
a battery of six guns-30ti-pounders—v..llnel
had in their trials penetrated every obstacle
and, in order that the defensive armament
might equal the offensive, the ship was
clad in a mail of 8-inch wrought iron at the
more exposed portions of the hull, and :; to
4 inches at the less exposed points; and
she was moved at great speed by engines
of 900-horse power. The " Captain," it is
asserted, however, weighed some eight or
nine hundred tons more than the engin
eer's estimate called for, thus making
_her
sit two feet deeper than was origi
nally intended. Among those who
WOW, down in her was her captain,
Cowper Cobs, of the Royal Navy, who was
the chief projector and constructor of the
great iron-clads for the ISritish navy, in re
gard to which many nautical and smentitic
men were far from sharing his views, trio
confidence in which he has now so fatally
attested. Capt. Coles distinguished him-
in the seas around the Crimea and the Sea
of Azorl. In 1035 he devised a plan for the
construction of shot-proof rafts, and subse
quently, in the same year, he conceived the
idea of protecting guns by shields, and four
years later, on the suggestion of Sir J.
]Brunel, placed the shield and gun upon a
turn table. This was the origin of the tur
ret system, made famous in our late war,
now adopted in all the vessels of the British
navy. This improvement gave Capt. Coles
a reputation among all the naval powers of
the world.

Napoleon Treated an a neigninw !So,
ereiwn—Yieetlng . of the Empress and
the Prince Imperial.
LoNDoN, Sept. 11.—A report is widely
circulated here that King William has
given orders that Napoleon shall be treated
as the'sovereign of France.
At 9 o'clock Thursday night M. de Les
seps, WhOW was not recognized at the time,
walked into the Marino Hotel at Hastings
and inquired for the Prince Imperial. M.
Dupree, the custodian of the Prince, was
summoned. After a brief conversation the
gentleman left the house, but soon return
ed with two ladies dressed as Sisters of
Charity. One of these was the Empress
Eugenie. The Empress felt so strong that
she was suffered to see the Prince without
notice or preparation. Tho scene at the
meeting of the mother and child is not de
scribed, because, as those who witnessed it
say it was indescribable. The next day the
Empress was ill. Dr. Blakiston and a sur
geon were summoned to attend her. It is
a remarkable coincidence that these medi
cal gentlemen are the saute who prescribed
for Louis Philippe on his landing at Hast
ings 22 years ago.
King William wrote to the Queen de
scribing his emotions on meeting the
French Emperor. lie says : "It was over
whelming for a moment; I could not con
trol myself on thus meeting him whom
three years ago I saw at the summit of
grandeur. The Emperor was equally
moved."
Some of the Paris journals having re
ported that Prince Pierre Bonaparte wept
when ho met the Emperor, floe former
writes a letter to the journals denying the
story, and adding for both his friends and
his enemies that he has " more manly
habits."
Shot and Killed
WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12.—Albert Cully
was shot and killed at Gillmore Valley,
near this city, on Saturday, under the fol
lowing circumstances: Some eleven years
ago James Hardwick suspected Cully of
undue familiarity with his wife. Both,
however, stoutly denied the charge and the
matter was dropped. On Saturday, how
ever, Mrs. Hardwick confessed to her
husband that his former suspicions were
correct, and on meeting Cully the same
day he drew a revolver and shot him dead.
He then gave himself up.

Hoer-LA.—By reference to our adver
tising columns it will be seen that Old Dan
Itieedhe greatest of American Clowns, will
visit this city with his rare Railroad and
Steamboat Circus, on Monday next. We
need not tell anybody to go and see him,
because for the last quarter of a century ho
lies stood in the very front rank of show
men, and his name alone is sufficient to
guarantee a crowded and delightful assem
blage, no matter where he may pitch his
tent.
THE STA - rn appears to be the
policy of the State Agricultural Society that
every portion of the State shall have a
chance to show the progress of a given geo
graphical district in Agricultural, Horti
cultural, and Mechanical pursuits, and in
pursuance of this well defined plan the so
ciety this year has fixed on the thriving
city of Scranton, in Lucerne county, in the
midst of mineral anti agricultural wealth,
as its place of exhibition.
For this purpose a carefully prepared and
large space of ground has been enclosed,
abundantly supplied with water; easy of
access to any part of the city . of Scranton
and surrounding towns; and upon which
has been erected two halls, carefully pro
tected from the weather, 250x30 feet each;
one hall 175x45; several spacious tents; 125
horse stables; 150 cattle sheds—an amphi
theatre with 1,1)00 seats, and every other
arrangement for the comfort of visitors and
exhibitors in every department usually
represented at such shows. We advise all
—but especially those who have never seen
the operations in a great coal and iron dis
trict to visit Scranton and the State Fair,
which commences on Tuesday, the 27th day
of September, 1670.
INCENDIARY FlRE.—Tuesday last about 9
o'clock a stable belonging to Oscar Hohein,
on the alley running between North Queen
and Prince streets near Frederick street,
was set on fire and entirely destroyed.—
The stable contained at the time a horse,
valued at $125, a carriage worth $l5O, a bug
gy worth $75, and a quantity of hay, oats,
and straw belonging to Mr. Hohein, and a
market wagon belonging to Mr. Hart; all
of which were consumed. A buggy be
longing to Mr. Hartz was saved. The only
insurance was $lOO on the stable.
A short time before the fire broke out, a
man was seen to leave the premises and run
away. He was no doubt the incendiary,
and it Is to be hoped ho may be recognized
and arrested. IN one of the surrounding
property was injured except a few panels
of fence.
SERIOUS AFFAIR AT COLUSIBIA. — Two
Negroes Kilted.—A serious affair occurred
at Columbia, on Satm day night. The par
ticulars, so far as we have been able to gath
er them, are as follows :
Henry Young, who keeps a beer saloon
on Union street, between Fourth and Fifth,
held a lunch during the evening. As Sat
urday was general pay-day among the
hands of the Rolling Mills and Furnaces,
there was plenty of money, and considera
ble drinking. The Borough Officers did
their best to preserve order. Nothing more
than usual under the circumstances had
occurred up to 10:30 o'clock, when Young !
closed the front of his saloon, leaving
open an entrance by an alley adjoin
ing the house. After the saloon was
closed in front, a negro named George Dun
more, entered by the rear gate on the alley
to get a drink. Being very disorderly he
was put out of the yard, and the gate in the
fence closed and bolted against him. The
darkey then swore that he would have
whiskey as long as the Germans, about a
dozen of whom were still inside the saloon,
could get it. He jumped over the fence
into the yard, and was again put out. In
the meantime a number of other negroes
entered the alley. Upon entering a third
time, the door of the saloon was shut and
locked against them. Upon discovering
this, Dunmore seized an empty beer keg
and hurling it against the door with all his
strength, smashed it in. Young, the pro
prietor, then ran for a pistol, tired twice at
Dunmore through the broken door. Au
other darkey, named Leonard Merriman,
who got into the yard to persuade
Dunmore to leave the premises, was stand
ing at the side of the door, when the shots
were fired. One of the balls striking him
below the heart and penetrating the spinal
column. Dunmore died soon after, and
Merriman the next morning between 7 and
o'cloo.k. Merriman bears the character
of a sober man ; Dunmore, the opposite.
As soon as the shooting became known, a
large crowd of negroes who had been hold
ing a testival in the neighborhood, congre
gated in front of Young's saloon, which
they bombarded with stones, brickbats,
rte., there being, perhaps, a bushel of such
missiles thrown through the windows of
the house. The disturbance was finally
quelled through the exertions of the con
stables and citizens, and order restored.
Drs. Craig, Bruner, Lineaweaver and
Righter, hell post mortern examinations,
A jury consisting of Dr..l. Z. Hoffer, T. 11.
Supplee, Isaac Snyder, W. 11. Grier,: M.
M. Strickler and .1. W. Yocum, was sum-
mooed by Deputy Coroner Frailey, and sat
all of Yesterday, hearing testimony. That
given - by the negroes is of a very contra
dictory character, some of them swearing
positively that there were as many
as six shots tired, of which a butcher
named Sowers tired four. Most of the
darkies swear that Dunmore was shot first,
but Merriman, before ho died, declared
that ho W 1.1.4 shot firt while endeavoring to
get Dunmore away; that there were but
two shots fired, both of them by Young.
Ills testimony is corruboi - ated by those in
the saloon at the Bite, and Young himself
admits that he shot both the men. The
jury adjourned to meet this evening to hear
further evidence and render their verdict.
Dunmore and Merriman both belonged
to the Negro Band of Columbia, and both
eave families.
Young gave himself up awl NV:I9 taken
n charge by Constable who
,rought him to this city and lodged hint
n ail.
n Columbia, and several false alarms of
Ire have since been raised, for the purpose
is is supposed of bringing on another col
ision between the friends of the respective
'rhe following is the statement made by
Merriman before Samuel Evans, Esq., at
S o'clock on Monday morning, a short time
before his death:
I was born in Cecil county, Md.; ant 24
years of age; heard there was a rumpus at
Young's, and that I ;verge Dunmore was in
it, and went to coax Dunmore away ; found
him in Young's yard, and took bold of
him to get him away; Dunmore threw a
keg against the door; Dunmore was un
der the influence of liquor: I was perfectly
sober, and went there for the sole purpose
of getting Dunmore away, to prevent a
fuss; a short chunky man shot out of the
window with a pistol, and hit me in the
side; the same man shot George Dunmore
from the door directly afterwards; I
suffered great pain, and could not
tell what was said or done after I was
shot; after Dunmore was shot, a man
beat him over the head with a keg;
there were only three colored men in
the yard; after the party in the house
shot, they told us to go out; soc Loth fell
when soc were shot. This witness was cau
tioned to tell nothing, but the truth, and
was asked after every statement whether
his statement Was true. Ile died at 5.30 A.
M., Sept. 11, Is7ll.

said it was him and threatened to kill him ;
Dunmore jumped the fence from the alley
into the yard, and with an empty beer keg
broke the bar-room door in ; the shots were
soon afterwards fired; could not tell who
fired them ; both shots were fired front the

way toll the nogroes more than n dozen
times to go away. Saw the negroes picking
up stones from the street and carrying
them into the alley; heard them rattling

the shooting. Only heard one shot, there
was so much noise and disturbance.
By agreement of counsel the matter was
left to the Court without argument.

Henry Wolf offered and were accepted as
bondsmen.
The District Attorney, Gen. J. W. Fisher
and H. Clay Brubaker appeared for the
Commonwealth, and S. H. Reynolds and
A. J. Kauffman for defendant.
Messrs. Editors: It has been some time
since you heard from this quarter. We
live in a peaceful section of the county ;
scarcely anything exciting transpires
worthy of note or comment.
The farmers are all, with one or two ex
ceptions, done ploughing, and well it is for
them, as the earth has lately become so ex
ceedingly dry and hard they would find it
difficult to plough at this time with an or
dinary team. But we can see the York
countians across the river still ploughing
on the hills of noble old York. How they
manage to break up sod in this drought is
more than I can conceive, "but York is
Democratic to the back bone, you know."
The majority of Drumore farmers have
done seeding. Many planted their faq
grain the latter part of August, which is
unusually early. In former years about
the 15th of September was the time fur seed
ing, but as this is the age of progress, and
themightv dollar the all-absorbing the
and one grand pursuit of man, perhaps the
farmer thinks to hasten time and lucre into
his pocket. However that may be, all is ac
tivity about the farm at this season. No
idle "hands have any business in the rural
districts at this time. The thrifty husband
man will allow no idler or loiterer about
him. In all directions can be seen an in
dustrious community preparing for au
tumn apace and the not far distant winter
with Old Boreal at its back. Corn is fit to
cutup; some have already commenced.—
In this section there is a bountiful crop,
but I learn it is short some places. Pota
toes are not nearly so plentiful as was sup
posed, since they are beginning to be lifted.
Apples are very scarce. In the early part
of the summer there was a good appear
ance of apples, but they fell off before
ripening; consequently there will be little
cider, and as a sequence the children will
have to go to school the coming winter
without applebutter on their bread.
Dysentery is now raging at a fearful rate
iu the vicinity of Chestnut Level and other
parts of Drumore. it has taken a malig
nant form ; a number of children and some
adults have died. Joseph Russell and two
of his children died from the disease, and
others of the family are not expected to
live. There are quite a number of cases of
fever and ague.
Grey squirrels are very plenty this year.
There is a law protecting squirrels during
certain months, and as that time has ex
pired, the sportsman without restraint can
have unlimited pleasure (if it is any) ins.
shooting these little innocent denizens of
the forest. If the law protecting game and
lisle was rigorously enloreed our forests
'would soon be swarming with game and
the streams abound with the finny tribe.—
The crack of the huntsman's guu can he
heard resounding through the forest at all
times during the day. It is said that Henry
Harnish, of Perinea Valley Inn, shot forty
eight grey squirrels in ono day in the
woods along Fishing Creek, below J. M.
Hess' mill. Wild pigeons aro very
numerous; large flocks can be con
stantly seen ; the night of these birds
is from east to west. They must cer
tainly be Democratic pigeons as they make
for old Democratic York county as last as
their wings will carry them. During the
early part of last spring the first and most
fish were caught on the York county shore
of the river. Some rebel sympathizer or im
pudent copperhead, had the audacity to say
"that the Fifteenth Amendment had driven
the fish from the sable shores of Lancaster."
Perhaps from the same cause the pigeons
make such a hasty exodus over to the saine
patriotic old county.
The Radical primary election canto and
went, and with it went all to hinders the
hopes and expectations of many Radical
aspirants for office. The Fifteenth Amend
ment fraud made a new element in the po
litical franchise of the Radical party, of
which Wickersham, Oatchell and others
availed themselves, but to no other effect
than to belittle them in the estimation of
respectable people. It was thought Wick ey
would beat Dickey at Chestnut Level, but
alas, for human hopes, plans, and expecta
tions ! The temperance faction worked for
Wickey manfully •, they were bitter in their
denuneiatiou of hickey, because (as it was
supposed, and ,witla some truth) he was in
the whiskey ring. That, with the nigger
vote, which is no small item in Drumore,
it was thought would carry the township
for J. P. W. Wickey had a couple of burly
darkeys perambulating the lower end with
carpet-bags stuffed with pamphlets, and
other documents, to circulate among the
sable brethren in his behalf; but no go.—
Dickey had the inside track with niggers
and all beside. Poor Tommy Clark fell far
behind in the county, and had the Church
and Ministry to back him up. There is
glum a large negro vote on Murphy's loop,
where there is a number of dilapidated ne
gro shanties, and along Fishing Creek. I
suppose sonic of the aspirants spent a night
or two with their sweet scented brethren in
that region. Ono of the contenders for the
prize has had Rev. Jerry Proctor (colored
of Drumore, screeching around at nightly
nigger meetings until he has becooll)
hoarse. Poor Cock hatchell has again conic
to grief; he says he was cheated out of the
noulinati on ; there- nosy be some truth in
the assertion. Such a set of villains and
. . _
corruptionists, who, have defrauded the
government for the last ten years, Will at
last cheat one another. lie promised the
darkeys that when he went to the Legisla
ture he would have a law enacted making
it criminal for a trigger wench to marry ir

with niggers is a Radical luxury (a la Mor

LIBERTY SQUARE. Sept. 5, 1370
Nhiino Siror.—On Saturday fif ry
a negro boy about 13 years old, son
of Ephraim Hardman, of Washington
borough, was shot and seriously injured
he a white boy about the same age, a son
Michael Cover of the same neighbor
hood. 'rho circumstances, so far as we have
learned, show that the boys were together
in the country, young . Cover having a gun
for tile purpose of shooting birds. While
in pursuit of game, ho playfully, as he says,
pointed the gun at the negro, when it acci
dentally went off, the load taking effect in
young Hardoman's face, destroying the
sight of ono eye and perhaps the other,—a
great muuber of bird shot having entered
his face and throat, which at last accounts
were so much swollen that the exact extent
of his injuries could not bo ascertained.—
Young Cover we are told was not arrested.
When will parents learn the necessity of
keeping lire-arms out of the hands of their
children? Those who permit such young
sters to handle such deadly weapons, are
themselves to blame for the largo number
of casualities we are called upon to chroni

THE TERF.—About one thousand per
sons assembled on Saturday lust, at Lon
don (trove, to witness a race between
two celebrated running horses; the dis
tance being 1700 yards, for a purse of 00
dollars. The one horse is owned by Mr.
Uriab Eckert and is known as the Rebel
Stallion Traveler. Tho other is a sor
rel horse brought from the West, and
belongs to H. Brisban Skiles, Esq. Af
ter several attempts the horses got away
keeping nearly lapped about half-way
through when "Traveller" took the lead
and gradually gained to the end, beating
his opponent easily. Ho would have won
by 50 yards, but his rider lost a stirrup,
which battled him considerably.
The betting Was about as 3 to 1 on the
sorrel and a large amount of money changed
hands. The keepers of the sorrel felt cer
tain of winning, aS the betting showed, and
consequently they were considerably taken
duwn at the result. The crowd finally
persed, 41110 party jubilant with plenty of
,tainps, the other with very wry faces.
NEW CII RCII AT MA ILI ETrA.—The new
Catholic ehurch at Marietta is being pushed
forward with great rapidity. The mason
work has already readied the sedind story,
or main audience chamber, and the walls
are ready for the windows and doors. It
is built in must substantial manner, and
when completed will be one of the linest in
the country - . The Catholics of Marietta are
working in earnest, to have it completed at
an early day. Rev. .1. J. Russell, of Co
