NEW BLOOMFIELD PENN'A.
Tuesday, June 30, 187t'.
Fobi Master General Ciieswell has
resigned. His resignation wag accepted by
the President who expressed much regret
in losing his services. It is well some one
regrets his loss. The President has nomi
nated Hon., Eugene llale, of Maine, as his
successor. .
Dies of Hydrophobia. . .
Francis Butler, a well known dog fancier,
and regarded as authority on dogs, died at
his residence in Brooklyn last weok of hy
drophobia, lie was bitten at his store in that
city, six weeks ago, by a small spitz dog,
while endeavoring to make it take some
medioine. Mr. Butler was a native of Eng
gland, an accomplished linguist, and has
been connected with several education
al institutions as professor of languages.
Some years ago he went Into the business
of training, buying and selling dogs, ' and
his ability in controlling and training them
was marvellous. lie wrote a book entitled
"Dog Training." He had no fear of by.
drophobia, and often expressed the opin
ion that it was simply a nervous affection,
and that the bite of a dog would not pro
duce disease unless fear supervened and
occasioned it. '
.Tcrrlblo Disaster.
An appalling catastrophe occurred at
Syracuse, N. Y., on the night of Tuesday
last. A strawberry festival was being held
at the parlors of the Central Baptist Church
when without -any premonition the ' floor
gave way, precipitating a room full into
the story below. ' ' ' ' ' '
The parlor was on the second floor, and
a room underneath was also full. The Are
alarm was immediately - given,' and firemen
hurried to the scone. Bon(b ten thousand
people were there, and tremendous excite
ment prevailed. The following are among
the dead bodies recovered : Dr. O. E.
Wainwrigbt, Mrs. Wainwright, Miss Min
nie Thompson, a child named Ostrandor,
a little girl named Loenard, a little girl
named Horton, Miss Theodore Holmes,
and a little girl named Minnie Collins.
Kev. Geo. L. Dowlihg, Pastor of the
church was dangerously injured ; also, his
wife, who is not expected to live. Rev. II.
J. Eddy, seriously injured. Two hundred
persons were injured, some dangerously.
Later despatches show that 23 persons
were either killed or have since' died from
their injuries.
1 Bitten by Horse. ;
A Lancaster paper narrates the follow
ing:! "On last Tuesday morning a band of
gipsies who had been encamped in a gap at
Laurel Hill during the night, while moving
to some other quarters passed John Peters'
smith shop, iu Upper Leacock township,
where they stopped to get some horses
shod. As one of the men passed in front
of one of the horses which was hitched in
with another in a large coach, the animal
reared up and attempted to cut down the
gipsy With his fore feet. The gipsy caught
hold of the bridle and attempted to jerk 1
down the horse, when the animal got the
man's thumb and part of the hand in . his
mouth, and held on to it with a desperate
grip, slmking it as a dog would. The man
called for the smith to knock the infuriated
animal down, which he did with a club,
but he still held on to the man's baud.
Peters struck the horse another blow over
the head, knocking him over again, but
still he held on like a tigor. Another blow
behind the ear leveled bim again, when he
slightly opened his jaw and the man jerked
out his hand, which was terribly bruised
and crushed, but it is thought no bones are
broken. Dr. I. Bushong was sent for, who
dressed the wound and Injected some mor
'phine, into bis veins, as he was suffering
, terribly from the pain. ' . ..
Turkey and Persia.
-The relations between Turkey and Per
sia are not friendly. It appears that the
Persian government has refused to compel
the return to the Turkish territory of a tribe
numbering 2,000 families, which bas gone
across the Persian frontier and that a num
ber of Turks have been secured and mal
treated by a band of Persian pilgrims. The
Turkish government threatens to force
Persia to give up persons who have abused
its subjects and to surrender the revolting
tribe. Unless a compromise' is speedily ef
fected, the relations of the two countries
will become critical. . ; '-i!

Virginia, says a bluody tight occurred three
miles from there, on the Short Line rail
road, between the bands of Ward and

An officer of the detective force was last
week dotailed by the chief of police, at the
request of Governor Shepherd, to find and
compel the return 'of furniture and othor
publio property stolen by members1' of the
District legislature upon Its disbanding.
Most of the property has been recovered,
and, upon learning that the officers' were
searching for it, several members brought
back what they had carried off, saying It
was only taken in a joke, 1 '

t3TAn old lady named Catharine Wit
moyer lived alone in a bouse in East Han
over. On Monday the bouso was discover
ed to be on fire by the neighbors, but by
the time they arrived at it the flames had
made such progress as to discourage all
efforts to arrest them. The body of the old
lady could be seen in the flames. - It Is sup
posed that she was lying on the bed smok

pipe. ' ; ' ' ' ,
(W A gonuine Cuban centipede, one of
the most poisonous tropical 'enemies of
man, was found snugly " stowed away" in
a bunch of bananas at the new market,
Petersburg, Va., the other day. It had
traveled a long way to find Its end, but
was saved a pajt of its mission by one
knowing something of its habits, and who
saved a more curious than wise individ
ual from "interviewing" it between thumb
and linger. , ,
IW A remarkable escape from death by
lightning ocourred in Rockingham county,
Va., last Wednesday. Mi. John Donovan
weut out with a , ono-hotse wagon on a
ridge to haul some rails. When he had
his load nearly on a Bhower of rain cqmo
up, and he stopped under a walnut tree
for shelter,, leaning with bis shoulder
against the tree. Iu few minutes the
lightning struck the tree, . and ooming
down its trunk, struck bis shoulders, pass
ed down his arm to his elbow, ripping
open bis coat sleeve as if it had been done
with a sharp knife, passed across his breast
burning blisters as large as a man's band,
and passed down his leg and out at his
shoes, cutting off his shoestring, and then
entered the root of the treo, which it tore
up for several feet. - Strange to say he was
not knocked senseless or speechless, but
says when his horse started be halloed
" whoa" to him, but bis limbs became
motionless, and be oould notstuod or walk,
His horse ran home, and bis father and
neighbors started out and found bim under
the tree in this coudition, and brought
him borne in a wagon. He is now doing
well, though his nervous system is much
deranged, aud he suffers a good deal from
the blisters on bis skin.
tT The people along the mail routo be
tween Bethel and Middlebury, Vt., who
bave been losing letters for the ' past three
months, find that Mrs. Facnie A. Jewett,
wife of the1 postmaster at Hancock,' has
been helping herself to any ' that she
thought might be valuable." Special Agont
Camp, of Boston, started fof that part of
the country about a fortnight ago, and as
suming the role of a railroad conductor
who was taking a vacation he put into the
mails lottevs containing marked pieces of
money,1 and having power to open the mails
he finally traced the robbery to the Han
cock office. ! ' 1 ',
The money of Mr. Jewetr, the postmas
ter, was examined, and it ' was all right,
but his wif e was finally induced to produce
an old wallet, which was found to contain
four pieces of scrip that Camp had marked.
She confessed having burned four lotters
that Bhe hod rilled, and her thefts are esti
mated at $300 or $300. The post office has
been turned Over to one of the Jewett's
sureties, but Mrs. Jewett is allowed to live
with her husband for the preeent, though
under a bond.
tW A melancholy accident has just oc
curred : in Switzerland. Mr. and Mrs.
Liskeard, a young English pair on their
wedding tour, sot out with a party of
friends to make an ascent of Mont Blanc.
When they had reached the summit of the
Corridor, the ladles felt luc cold so severe
ly that the guides advised the party to re
turn. 'All were fastened together with
ropes, and the bride sot out leaning upon
the arm of a guide. "
" Hardly had they ' taken a hundred paces
when Mrs. Liskeard and her companion
suddenly disappeared ' down a crevasse,
covered with a slight layer of frozen snow.
Unhappily, the rope by which they wore
connected with the others broko, and they
were seen no more. The husband at once
procured extra assistance from the Grands
Chalets, but the bodies could not be re
covered, and it ia thought they are some
thousand feet down in the mountain. The
death of the two unfortunate persons must
have been instantaneous. ' '
1ST At Windsor, Va.', recently, a Mr.
James M. Vaughan and his wife were seat
ed in an apartment of their residence when
the latter rose to look at a clock in an ad
joining room. A thunder storm' was rag
ing at the time, and the moment after
Mrs. Vaughan left the- room a sharp flash
and a heavy report came. A few minutes
afterward Mr. Vaughan followed his wife
to see what detained her, when be found
her dead on the floor, having been killed by
the lightning.
For the Bloom&eld Timet
A Word to School Directors.
The time is rapidly approaching when
Gentlemen and Ladies of different disposi
tions, qualifications and belief, will apply
for schools. Whether you consider; the
importance in the selection of school teaoh
ers or not, I do not know, but let me say to
you that it is of great importance, that the
right kind of' teachers be employed in
teaching our children. Do you want your
child to be an Infidel ? then send it to an
infidel teacher. Do you want your child
to be immoral ? then send it to an immoral
teacher. Do you want your child to be a
fop or flirt, then sendit to a fop or flirt of a
teacher.
But if you want your child to become a
man or woman, that is worthy the name,
send it to a teacher that is a man or woman
in the strictest sense of the term1 not an
infidel not an immoralUt, etc L But of
sound mind, temperate, God-fearing, strict
ly moral, if not a christian, i : I
Sad experience has proven the above as
sertion to be true what a responsibility
is resting on the school directors. But thev
reply. How can we get the right kind of
teachers. Let me answer their questions
by asking a few more questions. , . ;.
1st. Is it not true that our schools at
present differ greatly from the schools
thirty years ago, iu their text' books, &e.'
2nd. Is it not also true that many teach
ers who taught thirty years ago, could not
teach our present schools with their text
books. ; 1 '
8d. How did you succeed in seouring
teachers so far in advance of our aged
teachers. Let me tell you, you succeeded
by making it a test of Qualification, this
enllste'd talent into the army of teachers.
Now if you as Directors will make tem
perance, God-fearing, strict morality or
nrisuanity, (wnicu i snould prefer.) A
test of qualification in conneotion with the
present test of qualifications to teach,
you will not only enlist talent, but prin
ciple and piety to meet the present want,
confer upon the rising generation a blessing
that will tell favorably in time and eternity.
May the spirit of inspiration awaken the
school directors to see to their duty, and
parents to urge them to discharge it. And
heaven will smile on our , schools, and
crown them with success. D. B.
