IJETUiiKBof the, Oregon election indicate, a majority for Orovor, Democrat, for Gov ernor. The Republicans still claim a ma jority for Williams for Congress. General Biiioto of Kontucky, lias ljecn appointed Secretary of tho Treasury, in place of Mr. Richardson reBigued. lie will enter on the duties at once. The lat - ter has been appointed Judge of the Court of Claims. - Col. Tnos. A. Scott has been elocted as President of the Pennsylvania R. R., in place of Mr. Thompson, deceased, and Geo. B. Roberts has been elected 1st Vice-President. JuDftB Dean has introduced a practice which might be adopted with advantage in other districts. Ho has prepared a charge to a grand jury, embraoing all the points usually montionod, nnd had it printed. The clerk of the court sends copies of this charge to each grand juror, as soon as he is drawn, and when they come to court they have studied and understand their duties as jurymen. It saves time, as the judge need then only refer particularly to any class of cases not included in his gen eral charge. Crop Reports The Chicago Timet publishes several col umns of crop reports from various points throughout the States of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota and Kansas, from which it appears that on an average the wheat sown is much in ex cess of that oMast year, and that tho yield promises to be quite up to the average, and in corn, oats and barley fully up to the av erage. The average amount of land has beeu seeded and the crop will be large. Fruits of all description never looked bet ter. In several counties In Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota the grasshoppers and chiu copee bugs have made their appearances. Forgeries by a Farmer. A United States government service de tective arrived at N. Y.,last week with a war. rant from Governor Ilartranft of Pennsyl vania, for Levi Saunders, a wealthy far mer and cattle dealer at Waynesborough, Franklin county, Pa., charged with ox tensive forgeries on the Franklin county bank, at Chambersburg. The officers tracked him from N. Y., to the suspen sion bridge, Niagara Falls, and found him boarding on the Canada side, under the name of Jarvis Stevens. The postmaster on the American side enticed him Borons to get a letter, and be was arrested as he was stepping on the Grand Trunk cars. lie was taken to Pennsylvania under the requisition upon Governor Dix, and after being fully idontilled was locked up in the Franklin county jail on Saturday. Tho prisoner has been a fugitive since 1872. lie is charged, among other acts, with having forged the signatures of Simon Lecrone and J. Nicodemus, two rich Pennsylvania stock speculators, as indorsements on Ave checks of $3, GOO each, which he drew on the Union bBnk of Philadelphia, where be had an account, lie passed four of the I checks on the Franklin county bank, but on presenting the lifth one Mr. Johnson, the bank cashier, refused to discount It be cause of some discrepancy In the figures. Subsequent investigation revealed all the forgeries, and also showed that Saunders had personally sent all the checks, exoept tho four named, a day before they matured at the Union bank. Saunders Is also ac cused of stealing tovoral thousand dollars belonging to an estate for which he was assignee Detectives have been looking for him for two years. . Riot lu Ireland. A serious riot occurred iu Limerick one day lust week. A mob of a thousand per sons attacked a party of militia. The police defended the latter and were stoned by tho rioters. Reinforcements ar rived and the riot was suppressed, after a large number of people had been injured. A Stranger In these farts. On Friday morning last, a largo black whale was captured in tho Raritan River, near Perth Amboy. Tho animal was first discovered by a boatman named John Spearn, and seemed to be grounded on the oyster beds, just below Crow's Mills. He immediately procured assistance and an at tempt was made to kill the animal by firing shots into it with breech loading shot guns, but the huge "bird" did not even give a grunt at their efforts. A long pointed iron was finally drivon into it be hind one of the gills, which proved its death blow. At high tldo the body was towed across the river and fastened to a dock, where at low tide it was the objoct of curiosity by numbers who wero attract ed to the scene. The whale is a young one, measuring 48 feet In length by 0 feet across its largest part. It is estimated that from $ 300 to $1000 worth of oil can bo procured from tho carcass. At last ac counts the captors were cutting up the animal and " frying out" the oil. On Sun day, the owners of tho fish erected a tent over the body aud chargod 25 ceuts admis sion to view tho same. About $250 was realized by this move. Tho keeper of the draw on tho Raritan Bridge saw tho ani mal go through tho draw about midnight the night before, but supposed tho object was a drift or nn upturned boat. The Condition of tho Mississippi Levees. It is said that the damages to many of the le?es during the late war have nover boon repaired, and the present flood has so ravaged tho lovces which were rebuilt and impoverished the people ns to render their repair aud reconstruction impossible ex cept by national aid. It is proposed by Senator Alcorn and others to furnish labor to tho people whose crops aro destroyed in rebuilding tho broken lovecs to insuro the next aud futuro crops, ond thus arrest tho famine. Five million cubic yards of levees costing some two millions of dollars, are re quired. It is further proposed, iu Gen. Morey's bill, to appoint a mixed commis sion of military and civil engineers to In vestigate and report a more complete plan for tho control of the Mississippi river aud the complete reclamation of tho great delta alluvion. A Curiosity. There has been, for several days past, on exhibition at the Nows Book Store, a pair of deer antlers that may be regarded In the light of curiositios. These antlers wore found Sabbath afternoon, by George Clev er, Jr., ever Kato's mountain, in Forsaken Hollow, who, with others, was fighting the flames from further devastation In that lo cality. The horns were found Interlaced or locked, and the skeletons of the animals were entire. The conclusions are, that the bucks mot in deadly encounter, and their horns having become entanglod, they suffered, starved and died In that condi tion. The horns, or branches are of un usual size, one having six and the other ton or more spikes, and are in excellout pre servation. We are indebted to Maj. Geo. Clever for these facts, and the privilege of an exhibition of the curiosity in question. Hhippemburg Newt. Henry Express Robbery. On Saturday night a week as the Atlan tic express was passing between New Buffalo and Niles two unknown men forced open the front door of the express car and knocked down J. B. Death, mes senger, who was assorting his money pack ages for the different stations. One of the robbers seized a package containing $27,000, jumped from the car and escaped, leaving the other struggling with Heath in darkness, the light having been extin guished. Heath finally drew his pistol and shot tbe scoundrel In the head, and then fell insensible from his injuries. As the train approached Niles he recovered sufficiently to eall for help, but was unabje to rise. Tho robber lived only a few sec onds after he was taken from the car. Struck by Lightning. Daring the prevalence of a heavy thunder storm a few days ago, the barn on the farm of Mr. Abia Akers, In Monroe township' Bedford county, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. There were Ave horses in the stable which were remov ed with considerable trouble. A spring wagon pulled out by Mrs. Akers was on fire but was saved without serious damage. About one hundred and fifty bushels of grain, a threshing tnachino, a lot of hay, straw, and all the harness, saddles and bri dles and a considerable quantity of hams aud bacon were burned with the building. The loss will probably reach $2,500 which falls heavily on Mr.Akers who is an indus trious and hard-working farmer. Lightning at Cape May. A new house at Cape May, just com pleted for tho use of Mr. Hallenbacb as a first-class private boarding house, facing the beach near the Stockton House, was struck by lightning on Monday afternoon In a terrifio thunderstorm. The oleotrio fluid tore everything in its progress from the roof of the cupola to tho main roof of tho house to the ground, leav ing a hole a foot wide by eight feet In length. The building was saved by the tin roof. The building, worth some twelve or fifteen thousand dollars, had n narrow escape. Miscellaneous News Items. Watortown, N. Y., Juue 5.

CBTAlady was standing on one of the wharves in New York recently, bidding adieu to some friends who were about to take passage on a steamer. While stand ing there, a cask of molasses, which was being hoisted by an elevator above her head, burst, and she was deluged with the sweot but sticky fluid. For the time, she unani mously admitted to be the sweetest of her In De Kalb county (Mo.) recently ,a woman named Jane Stivers went to hunt for eggs, leaving her child, about seven months old, playing on the floor of the house. During her absence, which was less than half an hour, a bog entered the house and on her return she found that the animal had killed the infant and partially eaten it, be ing intent on its horrible meal when the horror stricken mother beheld it. tyC. W.

The jewelry was recovered. Pool claims to be a reputable Texas merchant, and to have obtained this bond and another one in a business transaction with a party in Chicago. tW The Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye, re lates the following incident : " Yesterday morning a boy sauntered up to a yard on Eighth street, where a woman was scratch ing the bosom of the earth with a rake, and leaning on the fence, said: "Are you going around to the backyard after awhile?" Tbe woman said she did'nt know ; maybe she would ; why?" " Because," the boy said, " I saw the cistern lid drop on the baby's head a minute ago, and thought if you went around you might lift it off." tW The other evening two gentlemen paid a visit to a young lady lu San Francis co. When they weie about to take their departure one of them mistook an overcoat bangiug on the bat rack for his own, and was about to put it on, when he felt some thing in the outside pocket, which be drew out, aud which proved to be a revolver. His friend was talking with tbe young lady and did not notice that tho revolver was being bundled. Suddenly a loud report reverberated through the house. The young lady fainted aud was carried itito the parlor by her father, who catue from an ad joining room on hearing the report. They at first thought that the young lady was killed, but she revived before tho physician camo, complaiued of her leg hurting her. On examination it turned out that the ball bad struck her iu the left leg, below the kuee, inflicting quite an' ugly but uot dan gerous wound. V8 A very eocentrio nowspaper man named James Johns recently died in Stark borough, Vt. He used to print with his pen and Issue occasionally the Autograph and Iiemarker, aud send his edition, wliich consisted from one to half a dozen copies, to ony one he pleased. His work was very neatly done ; he tried a printing press once, but did'nt liko it half so woll as his pen, and so gave it up. Ho was very jealous of the fame of his shoot, and had no mercy on tho man who said onything against it, or refused to exchange. Among his peculiar ities was his abstinence from tea and coffee, and his feelings were grossly insulted If they were offered to him. The outrage of urging a man to take a cup of tea when at a friond's table was the subject of many a leader in tho Autograph of twenty-five years ago. The celebrated $7,000 package, giv en to Senator York, of Kansas, tosccure his vote for Pomoroy in tho senatorial election, which Mr. York produced in the joint con vention to the discomfiture of Old Subsidy, is again tho subject of publio interest. Mr. Francis, the new state treasurer, has re ceipted for it among other valuablcs'in tho Btate treasury, but does not know what to do with it. York, who only took it iu order to entrap Pomcroy, will have no thing to do with it. Pomeroy's explana tion of tho affair is that tho money was given in trust to York for one Page, who was to start- a national bauk on it, but Page has relinquished all claims to it. So tho cash remains in the treasury without au owner. tW A joke intended ' to bo played on a simple-minded negro iu Montgomery co., Virginia, resulted very seriously to other parties.

Long play fully snatched the cigar from Mr. Carr and lighted it, when it instantly exploded, tearing out three of his teeth, terribly mu tilating his mouth and putting out the right eye of Mr. Carr, who was standing iu front of him. ZW Gen. Totleben, the defender of Se bastopol, has been sent by tho Emperor of Russia on a mission to the Meuuonites with the objoct of deterring them from emigrat ing to America. They were about to fly from the severity of the new Russian mili tary law. It now appears that the Czar intended to grant special exemption to the members of this sect, but his instructions were misunderstood by the officials. They aro to be subject only to duty in military hopitnls. dTTlie ex-Chief of Police in Tcrre" Haute, Iowa, married under rather unusual circumstances. His son, less than a dozen years old, suggosted the desirability of a change in the domcBtio arrangements, aud named the lady he would accept as step mother.
