For several days previous his condition had been considered exceedingly dangerous, and but littlo hope was had of his recovery. The cause of his death was inflamation of the brain. .A Query. Had the Greeley & Brown electors been successful at the recent election, for whom would they have cast there votes for Presi dent? They could not well vote for a dead man, and the election not being complete no vice President would have been elected, nvho could serve as President. Here is a .case which proves that it is better for the i people to vote direct far President, or Vice -President, letting their action complete the .Election. The Ivans Case. Ob Tuesday last before Judge Pearson, in.Dauphin County Court, the case of the ComEionwealth vs. George O. Evans came up. This was an action to rocover $300,000 alleged to have bceu improperly detained by Evens on the war claim collections. Attorney-General Browstor and Wayne McVeagh appeared for the Commonwealth, and Judge Black, It. A. Lamberton, L. W. Holt aud II. U. Straliaa for defendant. The defence asked for a continuance on the ground of the continued illness of Evans, aud produced affidavits sworn to by him on the Both of November, in N. York. In this be says : i , , . -, , " I am so weak as to be unable to leave my room, and cannot at present go to Har risburg to attend the trial in this case.' I am most desirous that the case 1 should be disposed of .68 speedily as possible, and have interposed no delay to tlie trial which -could by any action on my part be avoided. My evidence, I. am advised by counsel," is absolutely tiooaasary to present defense. It j my expectation that iu the course of one or two months my physical condition may bo so improved that I may bo able to give or y evidence" The case was contin ued. ' Disasters at Sea. The cteamer Baltic, which arrived at N. York from Liverpool last , week met with .a most severe gte, and had one of the most eventful trips ever niudo by an ocean steamer, having rescued nineteen lives iu mid-ocean after having herself stood the test of the most severe weather known for years. The ship Assyria, from Quebeo to Plymouth, was met In a sinking con dition, the flag of distress flying and all the crew in the rigging. There. Oiey had been for more than - two days, and there they calmly awaited their fate. Upon the Baltic comiugfnto sight, preparations for a rescue were made without delay. Volunteers were called for and two boats were sent to the wreck, resulting in all the Assyria's lives being saved, with the exception of two sailors. On a motion of Senator Sum ner, a committee was appointed to collect funds as a testimonial to the rescuing party, a sum of over 60 was raised for that purpose." - ' - .- t . .. :.i- " ." 137" Judge Longaker, of Boston, baa an nounced hi intention of establishing new i rules for the government of the court house. Hereafter lawyers, 'witnesses, prisoners and strangers will " have to' cleanse their mouths "of tobacco before 'entering the acred precincts. , COMMUNICATED. , The Eqnlne Scourge. The farmers and country folks generally appreciate the Value of that noble animal the horse, only when they are unable to nse him. ' His usefulness as a . propelling power in the hands of all classes Is appre ciated to-day, where his utility wan never lookod upon .before, only from a selfish point of view. The Idea of humanity to this noblest of all the brute creation, was never thought of only when thero was a strong probability that we'd lose the use of him altogether. The familiar remarks of "good evening" and "good morning" have been supplemented by " how is your horse," "Got the Epizoot?" 'Tis the every day topic, of all classes and created as much alarm iu some neighborhoods as the Small Pox, or the Cholera would have dono. It is certainly malarious and not contagious, as some farmers have found that their stock took the diseaso' without contact with infected horses, and without having been within miles of the disease. Horse statistics show that there are in the United States, about 0,000,000 horses, represeuting a monetary value of $0G6, 000,000. If but one per cent, of these should be carried off, making 80,000 horses, it would entail a direct money loss of $0,600, 000, two per cent, or two deaths out of evory hundred, would bring a loss of over $13,000,000, "and three per cent, which is the mortality in some cities, swells the loss to nearly $20,000,000. This in addition to the heavy loss of the daily earnings of the vast proportion of tho horses that are disabled and cannot work. Those figures may have their uses iu some quarters, not yet reached by the disease. Humanity should be tho only stimulus required in order to ensure the use of such' preventive measures, as better treatment, less labor, cleaner' stables ; but the money side of the question may reach some people who seldom look at any other, under any circumstances inlifo. psThe proneness of tho American nows- paper man, to coin names for anything has never developed itself to such an extent as it has in this of tho equine scourge. The boys whistled "Shoo Fly," and "Capt. Jinks" out of exist enco in a year or two, and then " Dolly Vardcn" wasseizod upon, and served as a cognomen for any thing, and every thing. Newspaper people havo however got the " jEpizoot" to a more fearful extont than anything that has ever heard of ; and if the word mongers and coiners of new phrases don't soon cease, Webster's unabridged will have to be remodeled, and enlarged, once a month at least. - . To save people who are not the happy possessors of a Webster, a Walker or a Worcester, we append a few of the many names that have been coined to designate this strangest of all diseases, that ever af fected either the human family or the brute creation: . , . , Epizootic; Eppihippic; ' , Epphippic: " . Eqiiiue Influenza; . Equine Malady ; . . .,, Equine Oxial ; Horse Bronchitis j Horse Catarrh ; ' : ' ' ' Horse Distemper; '' . Horse Plague j ( .. .. . .. . Horse Embarrassment ; .. r ,. Hippohiriorrhea ; Hipporbitic ; ' ' '; ' Hippopathio Embarrassment ; Hippozymoses ; , ,i ,.. .-... .. Hippo Malaria ; L'Epilaryngorrhippodemique ; . Hipporhinof-legmatoblenocalastalag- mus. ,: This last hame is long enough to cover all phases of the disease. . .. ; v ... . A Singular Accident. ' Some time last summer one Collin, a con tractor on tho line of the New York and Boston railroad, left several cans of nitro glycerine on the railroad, about two miles east of Yonkers. The 'cans were In woodcil boxes, with tho necks projecting. ' Around these cans was a board fence, with notes as follows! " Danger I Danger It Dangertl! Let nothing tempt you to touch, or even go near the contents of the inclosuie. It is nitroglycerine." John Donnelly, aged 10; William Terry, aged 21; Michael Callage, and George Hill, aged 19, wont gunning. Coming to the inclosure, Donnelly and Terry got behind trees, while the others, thinking, it is supposed, that they were at a safe distance, threw stones at the cans to test the explosive power of their contents. As a consequence, they were blown to atoms. At last accounts not a remnant of Hill's body could be found, though frag ments of his clothes had lodged in the neighboring trees, and only fragments of Callogee's body had been recovered. Don nelly and Terry wero badly mangled, but the trees, saved their lives, i Terry will probable lose the sight of one of his eyes. The windews of a coach-house in the neigh borhood wore shattered by the explosion. Donnelly and Terry were sent to St. John's Riverside Hospital. Great excitement pre- vails at Yonkers, and Coffin is 1 strongly oondemned for leaving glycerine where even such folly a this eould explode It. I . ' IV I v I -. , M7 A troublesome echo in a new . court house at Bloomlngton, 111., has been stilled by stretching several small wires across, the room, at duTerent heights. The .sound waves are thus broken up, and reverbera tion prevented. Objected to Vaclnatlon. A rather curious piece of intelligence from Central Asia relates to the out break of a mutiny at Chodahent. - The cause of this emeute was no other than somewhat sum mary proceeding of the authorities in en deavoring to : protect people , against the ravages of small-pox, one of. the scourges of the region. Accompanied by so many Cossacks the government surgeons would enter village after village, and pouncing upon the inhabitants, man, . woman , or child, whore ever they might And them, insert the beniflcent virus. At Chodshent the terror which proceeded and followed the medical cavalcade led to open resis tance. Fancying the enigmatical punctures Intended to mark those Bought out for transportation to Russia, tho 'peoplo rose against the Cossacks, killed a couple of them, and also massacred ono of their own elders pressed into assisting at the hateful ceremony. After this the rest can be im agined. A Russian force having entered tho city two of the rioters were executed, nine sent to the Siberian mines, ten banish ed to the North Pole, and several thousand fined. Of those banished two were killed by their escort before they were woll over the borders of Turkistan. London Timet. Sickness Caused by Impure Water. The Waynesboro Record states that the steam engine and boiler works of Messrs. Frick & Bowman, of that place, have been partially suspended on account of sickness. Both members of the family were pros trated ' with the typhoid fever, and also three of Mr. Frick's sons. There were nine cases of fever in the family in the last four or live months ; and on Monday morning Mr. Bowman died in Lancaster, where he was on a visit. The family physician made an examination and is convinced that the cause of the general sickness was the gases arising from a waste water sink affecting the purity of the water In tho cistern. i- "' Child Burned to Death. ' "Billy," a little colored boy between three and four years old, son of Charles Fisher, who occupies the rear of a house iu which Mr. Gaily, a colored man lives, on State street, below Fourth, was shock ingly burned by his clothes taking fire about 5 o'clock, p. m. Mrs, Fisher had gone out of the basement temporarily, and left the little fellow warming himself at the stove an ordinary cooking stove. When she returned tho clothing of tho child was all ablaze.
