4 flomnfiflfc Simts. NEW BLOOMFIELP, PENN'A. Tuesday, July X4, 1S74. The money editor of the Philadelphia Ledger says : " We learn by a letter from one of our largost iron workers, recoived here by an officer connected with ono of our principal railway companies, that more orders had been received for iron within the last ten days then in all the six weeks previously. We have hoard of similar re vivals in various directions, and from these manifestations, marked encouragement is folt of an early revival and an active fall business, especially iu iron, and if in iron necessarily in coal, and if in coal and iron, then, as a consequenco, iu transportation for which the railway companies are anx iously waiting." Doings of Congress. An exchange rather sarcastically sums up the acts of the lately adjourned Con gross as follows : "Wo have looked with some care upou tho work of tho last session of Congress to lind if possiblo tho good accomplished by our virtuous, intelligent and patriotic colons, by somo malicious people called tho delegated stupidity of the land. Tho ijuestions agitating tho country, upon which they were culled to legislate, were cheap transportation, financial and rigid ocouomy in tho adminiHt'ration of tho Gov ernment. Tho cheap transportation re mains whero the solons found it unsolved. Tho financial question was so muddled that no man can understand it : and as for economy, Messrs. Garfield and Dawes, iu a sort of love-feast held between thorn, thanked God and thomselves for a reduc tion of tho appropriations somo twenty- seven millions. As this last, howover, can lo verified only bv tho deficiency bills of the next session, tho thanks are somewhat premature After a painful search through all tho acts of tho Kepublican apostles, wo find but ono upon which they can go to tho country. They have discharg ed nearly a thousand clerks from tho Gov ernment sorvico iu Washington. One thousand poor fellows, malo and female, principally female, have been turned out to starve, from a service that to bo well donu really called for that number in addition. The starvation is aggravated by two months' pay, a gift made the wretched clerks by an economical Congress. To accomplish this gigantic work of economy Congress sat for nearly seven months' at an expense of millions over and above tho pitiful sum saved by economizing labor in the departments. Tho transpor tation problem was left unsolved. The financial dimculty, never understood, was simply muddled. Tho economy foots up, then, in tho magnificent result above stated, The Hon. Lycurgus lieathorluugs,upou tho stump this summer, soliciting a re-election, can say : " My fellow-citizens : I could not compre hend that matter of transportation. I know that vou nro rohhed by irreedy monopolists. and that the hard labor of life U taken from you without recompense But I could uot tlnd a remedy. I know, too, that when your pro duce is earned to market, tne price oittaiucd i taken from yoa in depreciated money and iieavy taxation ; tneretore yoa needed a sound currency based on coin and more economy In the (iovcrnnicnt. I could not find out how to remedy the first i nor am I certain that we have done much for tho hist. But, my fellow citizens, I'll tell yoa what we did accomplish. We turned out uearly a thousand clerks in Washington alone. Taking these vile creat n res vile because they have no political in fluence ny the tnroat, wo kicked tliem out. Never paid more than enough to keep soul and body together, wo made them a present of two months' pay and bade them 'ifo West.' Many wcro crippled soldiers and sailors and toe otn- era were women. But we got awuy before the thing was done. For this uoblo work I claim jour approbation and a return to ofllce." A Reverend Wife Wlilppcr. The Alexandria (Va.) Gautte gays : The Presbytoryof Chesapeake met in Baltimore on the 1st inst.,to try the case of Hov. II. E. Uaskervillc, of Laurel, chargod with whip- ping his wife. The specification is that one Hunday a short time since the reverend gentleman, who I the provider for tho household, having failed to procure any. thing for breakfast except bread and but ter, was surprised to find somo eggs on the table, and being informed by his wife, in response to an inquiry, that she bad bor rowed them of a neighbor, told her he would "teach her how to break the Bui nam, ana am so ny slapping lier jaws ono of the slaps striking her on the eye and blacking that orb into which bo had so of ten fondly gazod. tf The Uoehester tumbler works de stroyed by lire ou Tuesday, turned out eighty thousand dozen tumblers per week and was ono of the largest m an u factories ui' the kind iu the world. The works are to be rebuilt ; but In the meantime eighty five men are thrown out of employ. The Tornado in Mifllin County. Pnrllcnlarg of the Damage Done. A friend in Lewistown, sends us tho follow ing particulars of the terriblo storm that visited that section of the Btato, en the 4tU inst., and to which we briefly referred last week : " On Saturday afternoon of the 4th lust., a most terrific tornado swept over this portion of the county, doing great damage to property, and destroying Beveral lives. A match game of ball between a club from Mifllintown and a club hero, had attracted many persons to the vicinity of tho rail road bridgo, whore the greatest loss of life occurred. Just as the storm began four young men from Mifllin and vicinity enter ed the Juniata river bridgo from this end, and Mr. John Swan and Conrad Ulrich.Sr., of this placo, with Louis Plleilsticker, a former resident, entered it from the other end. Joseph Crawford, a railroad em ployee, residing near the junction, was also on the bridge, having entered it either to cross or to seek shelter. Whon tho storm reached its height the bridgo began to rock, and Mr. Swan Btarted for the gate house, calling to his companions to follow. Ho had scarcely taken a stop, however, bo- foro the tolograph wires came down, en tangling his foet and throwing him upon tho floor. AYhile endeavoring to release himself tho whole structure fell ; carrying down all who were Upon it. Mr. Swan sustained but slight injuries, aud succeed ed in climbing up from beneath the water through the timbers to a place of Bafoty and gained tho shoro unaided, lie had a gash in tho back of tho head, a finger near ly severed and his back somewhat injured, " Father" Ulrich was very badly injur ed, but was soon extricated and conveyod to his home, whero ho lies in a very criti cal condition. Lewis Pileilstickor was instantly killed, and his body bo wedged in among tho heavy beams that it required hours to re cover it. Ho was a German-, well on in years, and worked in this placo at sboo making for somo time. Ho leaves no family. Whilst those three wero within one span of this shoro tho fivo others mentioned abovo wore near tho opposite sido and were also precipitated among tho crashing timbers. By what seoms a miracle, Clayton Woid- man, near iuilllm, escaped with only a sprained ankle and swam ashore. Harvey Shork, of Patterson, was very badly injured and was rcmovod to his father's home, whero ho now lies in a very critical condition. Charles Goshen, of Milllin, was horribly crushed aud mangled and lived but a short time after being takon out of the wrecked mass. William Hartley, of Milllin, was also fa tally injured and died ou Saturday evening, as he was being put upon tho train for con veyance to his homo. Joseph Crawford was very badly hurt and is lying at his home on the opposito sido of tho river. Thoro is somo hopo of his re covery. It is difficult to estimate the loss occa sioned by tho destruction of the bridgo, but it will not fall short of $23,000. Tho bridgo was regarded as a substantial structure, having been used by tho Pennsyl vania railroad company for tho running of their trains between Lewistown Junction and Sunbury, as woll as those of tho Mifllin and Centre county branch. Its length was 029 foot, and the height of tho floor above low water mark about thirty-four feet. The force of tho storm was exhibited iu tho lift ing up of this immense structure and its being hurled bodily from its piers. Tho timbers of which it was composed were stretched from shoro to shore in a mass of in doscribablo confusion, but so firmly packed by tho fall that they could be safely travers ed the whole distance A full force was put to work, soon aftor the storm had subsidod, to cloar away tho debris, and a temporary bridge is now in progress of erection, which will probably be finished by the end of tho week. In the meantime passengers are transported by means of a ferry, established by the rail road company. At tho furnace tho work of destruction aud death was comploto. One of the largo chimney stacks, over 100 feet high, gave way beforo tho tornado and fell directly across the works, demolishing tho boiler house. Tho walls of tho casting house also collapsed and buried in their ruins, throe boys who bad been eugagod at play within. Two of tho bodies wore gotten out from be neath tho heavy mass of stone and mortar In the course of an hour or two. The body of Henry Illoomcstaiu was not recovered until Sunday noon, ho having run to es cape tho falling walls aud bocame separated from tho others. Two other boys wore standing at the entrance of tho same build ing about the time it fell, but made a for tunate escape. Tho loss sustained by the Olauiorgaii Company will amount to from $20,000 to 2n,000. ' . ' Another seriously Injured was Jacob Sides of Valley stroet, employed as watchman in the " deep cut" along the high bank of tho river. Tho watch box in which he had ta ken shelter was blown over the bank Into tho river, carrying hi in some distance down the rocky deolivity and Injuring him very severely. A young man who was with him at the time escaped by rushing from the door as the box went over and throwing himself flat upon the railroad track. Tho number of houses either destroyed or damaged was about fifty. Tho damago to the Coloman house was $2,000; Presbyterian church, $3,500; Lu theran church, $1,000; Coal shutcs, $1,000; Blymyor's mill and house, $3,000; Appren tice hall,$500. Tho Lutheran spire, 120 feet long, was blown down. Express and Mall Car Burned. Norfolk, Va., July 0. Tho mail aud ex press car attached to the eastward bound train on the A. M. and O. railroad was en tirely dostroyed by fire this afternoon, about niue miles cast of Petersburg. The mail car contained an unusual heavy north- ern and southern mail which, together with the express matter In an adjoining apart ment, was entirely consumod. Route agents C. L. Jones and J. N. Jennings, tho only persons in the car at the time, wero badly burned about the face and arms. They were unable to givo an alarm owing to tho burning of the boll ropo, and after an ineffectual effort to save the most valuablo part of the mail, thoy both jumped off and wero afterwards picked up in a bruised condition. The fire was not discovered by thoso on the forward cars until the train run several miles, and tho car was burned down to tho wheels. The origin of the flro is not known. Miscellaneous News Items.
