'4 Ije mcs, New J3loomftci&; Ja; ht ilJIonmfifltr &hnf5. NEW BLOOMFIEII), TENN'A. Tueailay, July 21, 1874.' Some of tho pnpcrs'in tho central part of tho Stato, nro much exercised becauso Harry Whito is seeking a nomination for Congress. Tho Ilollidaysburg llcgitter calls him a heavy weight, &c. Wo don't sco how such a bag of wind, us tho Indiana Senator, can bo a boavy weight to carry. - - A Reminder to Candidates. Candidates for office at tho coming elcc tion, should carefully read tho oath of of fice that they will be compelled to take by Art. VII, Sec 1st of tho now constitution. It reads as follows : " Senators and Representatives and all judicial, Stato, and county officers Bhall, boforo entering on tho duties of their re spective offices, take and subscribe the fol lowing oath or affirmation : " I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitu tion of this Commonwealth, and that I will discharge the dutios of my office with fideli ty ; that I have not paid or contributed, or promised to pay or contribute, either direct ly or indirectly, any money or other valua ble thing, to procure my nomination or election (or appointment) except for neces sary and proper expenses expressly author ized by law ; that 1 have not knowingly vio lated any election law of this Common wealth, or procured it to be done by othors in mv behalf : that I will not knowingly receive, directly or indirectly, any money or ptber valuable thing for the performance or non-porformanco ofany act or duty pertain ing to my otlico, otlior tnan tne compensa. tion allowed bv law. "The foregoing oath shall be administered bv some person authorized to administer oaths, and in the case of State Officers and Judges of the Supreme Court, shall be tiled in the office of the Secretary of the Com monwealth, and in the oase of other judicial and couuty officers, in the office of the Prothonotary of the county in which the same is taken ; nny person refusing to take said oath or affirmation shall forfeit his office, and any person who Bhall be convict ed of having sworn or affirmed falsely, or of liavincr violated said oatli or attirmation shall be truilty of perjury, and bo forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or prolit witnin tne uommonweaitu. Although several persons that are hoping for a nomination this fall, are good at "swearing," we doubt whether they would enjoy the penalty attached to per jury. Already one or two parties havo taken steps toward scouring a nomination, that would make it dangerous for them to take the above oath. Wo think we do them a favor, by calling their attention to this matter. A Child Stolen. On the 1st of July, a little boy four years of age, son of Christian R. Ross, of Phila dolphia, wa carried away by some parties at present unknown. By anonymous let ters' and "personals" in tho Ledger they are attempting to negotiate for the return of the lad, for a large sum of money, Mr. Ross finding the police as yet powerless to aid in securing the return of the child, has expressed his willingness to pay to tho best of bis ability. It is said a person has now been arrested,' who it it is thought planned the affair, but as yet that U uncertain, and no information as to the wbererbouta of the child has been received to relieve the anxiety of the parents. It is a most out rageous case, and If tho rascals are success ful in obtaining any money in this in stance, other similar outrages will follow Philadelphians ought to feel very much ashamed of their police force. Great Fire In Chicago. Chicago has been visited by another dis astrous conflagration. The tiro broke out iu a common framo building, early ia the afternoon of Tuesday last, and before it was extinguished burnt over two hundred buildings, several of which were the finest in the city. The area burned over covers 13 squares, taking bits and half blocks here and there and lumping the whole. The area is about half a mile long and a little less in width, and embraces tumble-down shanties and palatial avenue residences. Total loss 14,025,000. Several dead bodies have already beon ' discovered among the ruins, and other per sons are missing. During the progress of the flames three attempts at Incendiarism in other portions of the city were discover ed and frustrated. On the following night another fire broke . out on the west side of the city, and de strayed eighteen dwellings. Bellgloa and Beer. . . A curious baptismal ceremony u lately performed in Dubois county, III. A child was baptized, and after the sprinkling, the people adjourned to the residence of the parents, where beer and other drinkables were provided, and all the party became beastly drunk. A Jolly fight aud riot on sued, in which twenty persons participated making the air blue with profanity. Miscellaneous News Items. t . . CST Lightning killed eight colts which had taken shelter under a tree in Lancaster county on Saturday a week. Two cows were killed at another point. tW A joker in Dansville slyly put a pav ing stone into the cannon with which a salute was being fired, and so the sido of Squire Bagley's house- was knocked in. tW Tho American Biblo Society is going to supply all the railroad cms with Biblos.

Atlanta, Ga., July 15. A lumber train this morning fell through a trestle work of tho Peach Tree Creek bridge, on the Air lino Railroad. One colored man was kill ed outright, and six seriously Injured. -The bridgo and trestle was torn up. The badly wounded were brought to this city. tW An intelligent shepherd dog did a good thing, over in Lancaster county, tho other day. He was in a grass field with his owner, who was driving two horses to a mowing machine. Tho gentleman leav ing his horses for a moment, they started off on a run, but tho dog quickly followed, seized tho lines in his mouth and stopped them. tW In Columbia county, Ga., on Friday morning, a colorod man, named Dogott, and his three sons, were arrested by a deputy sheriff and his posse, for alleged riotous conduct. Soon afterwards the pris oners attempted to run away, wnen incy were all shot doad by tliolr captors. A cor oner's jury gave a verdict of " justifiable homicido." tW Jack Johnson, colorod, has been ar rested iu Savannah on the charge of cruel ly heating and mangling a little negro girl, and finally breaking her neck. The charge is against him aud his wife, but the woman has fled. Johnson says the most of the beating was done by his wife. The little crirl lived with them, but was not their child. t2r0ii the 12th inst., Mrs. John Moatz, residing about ten miles south of McCon- nolsburg whilo laboring under a state of mental aberration, seized a gun, and while her husband was sleeping shot and killed him instantly. She then with a razor in flicted a horrible wound upon the head and face of one of tho children,and with a pitch- foik almost killed another. Tho children are in a critical condition. tW Tho Aurora, 111., Herald says : A gontlotnan came into this office the other day with one side of his face badly swollen aud one eye greatly inflamed, caused by tho poison of a potato bug. Ho Btruck bug with a piece of lath, and some of the "juice" struck his face near his eyelid. Physicians consider the bug more powerful as a blistering agent than the Spanish flics. tW Whilo New York has been swelter ing under 100 degrees Newfoundlanders complain of a cold, chilling fog which has enveloped land aud sea all through the month of June, and which lifts occasionally to show thorn scores of gleaming icebergs gliding ghostlike along the shore. Two of the icebergs took position recently at the entrance of St. John's harbor, whore they remained for a fortnight. Of In some parts of California squirrels are so destructive that farmers suffer a loss equal to the profit of the crop nearly every year. Asa Anderson of Visalia recently added a small can of thoroughly pulverized strychnine, sweetened with fine sugar, to two gallons of wet wheat, and distributed it in the morning near the squirrel bur rows. That day he found about seventy- five doad squirrels, and hardly a squirrel has been seen on his place since. , IW At the foot of Plane No. S, on the old Portage Railroad, there are two aban doned coal, drifts from whence two large streams flow respectively. . The wator run ning from one of them is strongly Impreg nated with sulphur, while the other, not more than ton yards distant, has suoh decided alum taste as to pucker up the lipi of the . person drinking the same as If ho had just been eating persimmons. VtT A man who had been cruel to horse was convicted in Little Shasta, Cat ifornia. The jury fixed the flue i at one dollars, and the Justice followed with speech. . "This man's been tried four times, gentlemen of the jury," he said " and you're the first twelve that's had sense enough to find him. guilty, But what under heavens did you make jack asses of yourselves for by putting the fine at one dollar, after you you'd done average decent thing. 'Taint any of your business anyhow what he's fined. I'll look after that myself. , It'll be sixty dollars. fSTRecontly, whilst several children wore playing In the haymow of Mr. John Tato, In Hunterstown, Adams county, ono of them, a littlo son of Mr. Boreus Doat rich, slid down the side of somo hay, and alighted astride of a scythe that had been used as a knife to cut through tho hay in tho mow aud loft sticking there, mrfklng a terriblo gash some six inches long and into the bone through the muscles of the right hip. ' ' tW Tho travolor will find a novelty at the scat of Justice Kossiusko co., Ind. It is a bung factory. It is a novelty, for noth ing of the kind can bo found elsewhere in tho United States west of Pittsburg. Nor is a mate to these shops needed, for two bungs are made in a second, with ono ma chine. Ono end of the bung is made a little smaller than the other by compression, and on being dipped in the water tho smnllor end rapidly swells, and that is the reason why bungs are so tight. tW Bottlo Hill, onco a rich mining egion of California, was located in a way sad for a temperance man to reflect upon. A party on a prospecting tour reached the elevation while one of thorn was finishing the contents of tho last whiskey bottle The absorber expressed a determination not to go any further. Tho ground pros pected rich, and the party had no reason to regr tho giving out of the whiskey. EST Folks who deposit corpses in Balti more Potter s hold havo an ingenious way of making money out of coffins. One day this week a wagon with n coihn and a corpse visited one of these burial places. The grave was comploted, tho coffin opened, the corpse rolled into the hole and the coffin replaced in tho wagon. It might bo a piece of interesting information to know how many unfortunates this coffin has bur ied. Baltimore County Union. I3T Gov. Bard, who has just taken to stumping in Georgia, remarks of an enemy, Why, my dear fellow, if you were to throw an emetic into hell, you couldn't bring forth a blacker villain 1" That his platform talk will be even more peppery than bis conversation may be inferred, be cause he says, " If anybody interrupts me, I'll call him up in the presence of all the people, will write liar upon his ' forehead, aud burn it in with tho red-hot iron of eternal truth." BIT The Italian city of Milan was visited on the afternoon of June 13th by a terrifio hail storm, which did an enormous amount of damage and wounded thirty persons. Some of the hailstones were as large as lien's eggs, and the birds, unable to find shelter,, owing to the suddenness of the storm, basketsful of dead birds, from pigeons downward, were picked up. A great number of persons crowed for shelter into tho immonse arcade or covered street known as the Victor Emanuel Gallery, but the glass roof gave way- at all points, and a rush was made for the shops. In the rush several persons were injured. Every pane of glass was broken iu the arcade, and the iron frames were beut and broken. Skylights and windows all ovor tho city were destroyed, and roofs wore broken in. The surrounding country for some distance suffered much, and the rice and grain crops were damaged. In the Brero, the picture gallory, all the skylights and windows wore smashed save one, and in the cathedral the great stained glass windows of Bortiui were seriously injured. A Lively Time. A day or two ago a wild steer ran away from a herd that was turned loose in the llackensaok meadows, and ran into one of the new Pennsylvania shops where a num ber of men wore at work. In about ton seconds nobody was at work except the steer, and the late occupants were outside looking through the window at bis perfor mances. The steer went out and went for them, and they had business around the cor ner of the building that needed instant atten tion. The steer had something to do around the same corner, and turned it just in time to catch one of the machinists in the rear, aud to pitch blm into an ash pit. Tho man Involuntarily put his bands behind him. Five or six drivers sent out to catch the steer arrived in time to be rushed into another ash pit where the steer kept them awhile, while he stood on the edge and smiled lovingly at them. Reinforcments arrived and the animal was Anally secured. Another Disaster, While the Western States are being scourged by tire, the East and South seem to be fully as badly affected by wator. The latest disaster occurred iu the county of llampshlre, Mass., and was caused by the breaking of the banks of a reservoir, near Mlddlofleld. An immense damage was done to railroad, factories and private property. The village of Chester was in imminent danger of total destruction, and was saved only by the great number of stone arch bridges above it. . The whole loss by this flood is estimated at 1350,000. ' Killed byHer Hon. Boston, July 14. Mrs. Maggie Smith, of Charlestown, wa shot and lutstantly killed by her son, a boy nine year old, last eve ning. They were in an auction room in Roxbury, where the boy had found an old pistol, and in playing with it, it was, discharged. ... A Counterfeit Sole. .. i '.. Ono of tho ladies employed as a counter clerk in tho National bank redemption di vision of the treasury department last week discovered among the notes sent for , re demption one of the counterfeit five hun dred dollar bills originally discovered at the treasury department about a year ago. It was so perfect that several of the most ex perienced clerks in the treasurer's office thought it genuiuo, but on reference to the engraving and printing division it was, af ter examination, pronounced countenoit. The note will be branded and returned to the National bank from which It was re ceived. Destruction by Grasshoppers. According to the latest reports received the grasshoppers in Minnesota were float ing with the prevailing winds in a south westerly direction, and moving in swarms, reinforced by fresh arrivals from the short grass prairios of North Minnesota and Northern Dakota. In tho vicinity Of Fort Garry, Manitoba, these pests destroyed all tho growing crops. . At Bismarck and throughout Nortborn Dakota they have dostroyed most . of tho grain orops and gardon products.
