4 jjljt )l00mfifftr (pints. NEW BLOOMFIELD, TENN'A. Tuesday, September J, 1874. Tub Bocchor committee bave reported. They find Beecher to be a saint, and Tiiton a very bad fellow. And now Plymouth Church will be happy, and other folks will believe as they please. The statement that has been made in some papers, regarding the failure of the Aldine Company, is contradicted by the treasurer of the company, who says the paper was never in a more flourishing con dition, and flnanciallylhe Aldine rests on a solid foundation. We are glad to be able to contradict these rumors, for the failure of the Aldine would be a great loss to the cause of art and literature. At tho Democratic Convention at Pitts burg, on Wednesday, J. S. Cornman, Esq., of the Huntingdon Monitor, and P. M. Lytic, Esq., of that county, collided, when the former struck the latter a smart blow on the check, causing the claret to color tho shirt front of Mr. Lytle. . Back-pay Speer happened to be present and separated the belligerents, and attempted to restore harmony. Democratic State Ticket. A Democratic Convention was held in Pittsburg, on Wednesday and Thursday last, aud resulted in the nomination of the following ticket : For Supreme Judge, Hon. Warren J. Woodward, of Berks county, aud President Judgo of that dis trict was nominated on tho sixth ballot. For Lieutenant Govcrnor,IIou. John Latta, of Westmoreland county, was nominated on the fifth ballot. For Auditor General, Justus F. Temple,of Green county,rcccived the nomination, and for Secretary of Inter nal Affairs, Gen. Wm. McCandless, of Philadelphia, was nominated. The Convention passed a set ies of reso lutions composed mostly of generalities, though the sixth resolution does come out squarely against tho Civil Rights Bill. Both parties have now placed thoir Stato tickets before the people, aud erected the platforms upon which they ask the candi date to stand. , We hope the result of the election in November, will show that the lest men are endorsed by the voters.

The Beecher Business The Entire Evl t Uencc" Summed Up. .New York, AuguBt 20, 1874. I was up on the Sound shore last Sunday. When every other subject was exhausted, my host asked : , "Hasn't there been something or other in the papers lately about Beecher ?" I mused a moment, and then said, I thought there had been something of the sort. " Well, hasn't Beecher published some thinga 'vindication,' I think they call it ; I beard them talking about it down at the store. Hasn't he been accused of some thing, and proved his innocence ?" " W a a-1, y a a-s ; I believe so," I re . plied. " What's the upshot of it ? Give us the whole in brief." Thus adjured, I began to condense, as follow : ' " Mr. Tiiton has accused Mr. Beecher of adultery with Mrs. Tiiton, . To which Mr. Beecher replies In substance as follows : " That he inherited from Lis father and his grandfather a strong tendency to hypo chondria; that he has written a "Life of Jesus Christ ;" that be owns a farm at Peekskill, on which he is accustomed to pass the month of August ; and that the last time he saw ' Elizabeth' in bed she looked like marble " "What! of the World?" broke in my host. , " Yes, the world . of artshe reminded him of tome of the recumbent statues of salnU he had seen on tombs in' the cathe drals abroad. This testimony is very full on this point, and he oontinues : That he has sometimes feared an attack of apo plexy ; that when hi walked out of Tllton's house it was under a cloudy sky ; there had been a' slight snow storm that day, which had passed away ; but the wind still whistled through the leafless trees." " Hold on 1" exclaimed my host, "That's enough t He's an innocent man ! If any body doubts it, let 'em go to Brooklyn, and Boecher can Bhow 'em ihote very tree !" And isn't this about all wo've got out of it ? And isn't it about all we're going to get out of it ? You hot. A Remarkable Wator-Spout. A romarkablo water-spout visited Laug ley, South Carolina, on the 11 inst., passing over a pond in that vicinity, and drawing a large quantity of water upwards. When first seen the water-spout was near the dam, and traveled slowly across the pond until it reached the railroad trestle work, a distance of a mile and a quarter from its starting point, wlion it disappear ed, and the cloud moved majostical ly off, carrying with it thousands of gallons of water which had been drawn from tho pond. The latter covering an area of 000 acres, was, in fact lowered fully two inches. The marvellous speed with which the oolumn turned impressed tho beholder with the idea that it was associated with a whirl wind. This was most probably tho case, as a tremendous wind passed over Augus ta from the direction of Langley some hours afterward. The heavens were bril liant with incessaut flames of lightning uf. ter the spout described above had disap peared. There was no rushing noiso con nected with it as is tho case in some instan ces. The water underneath the clouds just before the spout formed was in a state of great agitation. Waves rolled angrily and a perceptible bulge was seen. As the cloud halted a sort of funnel protruded from it and dropped slowly down, becoming larger as it lengthened, tho broader portion or base being at the surfaco of the cloud. When it reached a point about one-fourth the distance between tho cloud and the pond, the bulge on the surfaco of the lat tea roso to meet it aud the two at length joined, when the water from the pond com menced ascending into the cloud, which moved slowly toward the trostlo work. The waves in tho water all leaping and tend ing toward the spout and the spout itself continued the vertical motions referred to above. The outside of the watery funnel was dark and not well defined, while tho centre was much lighter, being rather of a bluish cast. This would seem to indicate that the column was partly hollow, the dark portions representing the sides. There can be no doubt but that the immense quan tity of water which was transferred from the pond to the cloud was literally sucked up. The spout finally disappeared, as if it had been drawn bodily up into the cloud, while the latter quietly moved off to parts unknown. Not a drop of raiu fell during the occurrence or afterward. Tho forma tion and subsequent motions of tho spout are described as having made up a specta cle grand in tho extreme. Nothing of the kind was ever beforo seen in that section. The strangest part oT the phenomenon wag the fact that the cloud, so burdened with water, moved off without dispensing any of it in tho form of rain in the neighborhood. A Novel Sentence. I Ex-Gov. Washburn, in his account of his native town, Livermore, Maine, relates the following : " An Indian bad killed another of the same tribe at Roccomoco, who loft an infirm and crippled squaw . The mur derer was arrested, tried and convicted, but instead of hanging him and thus making a thoroughly useless corpse ou t of what m ight have been put to some advantage, his judges sentenced him to support and care for and wait upon the widow of the slain Indian as long asshe should live. Vice President Ham lin heard his mother a daughter of Deacon Livermore say that she had many a time seen the Indian carrying the woman on bis back or hauling her on his hand sled." The last of this tribe of Roccomeoos diod at Lake Umbagog more than fifty years ago. A Wedding With no Nonsense. A Rutland, Yt., clergyman was at work on a sermon in his study, last week, when a man dressed in overalls and other work day garments stepped in and asked him if be would perform a marriage ceremony. On inquiry the minister learned that the man hadn't any license, but the two went, just as they were, to the town clerk and got one. Without a change of dress, the betrothed man led the way to a back street, where a woman was found washing in her own house, with sleeves rolled up, dress pinned up, etc. Without ceremony all three went into another room, and the knot was tied, whereupon the bride re turned to her washtub, groom to his work, and dominie to bis sermon. A Learned Judge.. The Chambersburg Valley Spirit says, one pf the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania must have learned orthog raphy at the feet of Josh Billings. He spells ancient in a way that could scarcely have occurred to Josh himself, namely a'n thent ; and does It twice on one page, which shows that be likes that way of spelling It. Lest the other Judges might not relish the indoflnateness of this allusion, we may say that be spells his own name G-o-r-d o-n. A Baby Accidentally Hangs Itseir. In Pottstown, the other afternoon, oc curred a very sad event. George Schoetz, with his wife and children, reside in Van Buskirk's addition, and are much respect ed people. They had four children, three little boys and one girl, the latter being only eleven months old. About 2 o'clock Mrs. Scheetz put her in fant baby, Jennie, to bod, and then return ed down stairs to her work. The bed on which the baby lay had a slat bottom, and the bed clothes wore too short to reach to the foot end. Botwecn the last slat aud the foot-board there was a space of almost four inches. The baby became restless during its Bleep and rolled from the head of the bed to the foot end and its body fell between the slat and the foot-board, its head not going through. The chin rested on the slat. In this con dition tho mother's precious littlo treasure remained until the messor.gor, Death, brought relief to her sufferings. It is sup posed she lived aftor the fatal fall about forty-five minutes. From the floor to the bottom of the bed it was 14$ inches, so that her feet rested on the floor, which no doubt prolonged her life and sufferings. Shortly after five o'clock Mrs. Schcets went up stairs to bring little Jcnnio down, when the horrible sight met her vision. With screams that were hoard for a dis tance she snatched up the cold body of her baby and rushed down stairs, exclaiming to her mother, Mrs. Mota Lessig, who was in the kitchen, "My baby is dead." The nows soon spread over the town, and many sympathizing friends called. The grief of the mother cannot be describ ed. Both Mrs. Scheets and her mother, Mrs. Lessig, had about 4 o'clock heard a thumping noiso, which they thought was some horses stamping with their feet next door, where bricks were being hauled for a new house. This, is now thought, was the feet of tho little baby dangling on and striking the floor. A Detroit Station House Sketch. May . Waborn disturbed the peace by making a great noise and collecting a crowd, and now she can't rcmombor any thing about it. She can't remember of hitting a policeman's tender knuckles, or of the happy little songs alio indulged in after being locked up. "There's no uso in winking at me," said his Honor, with a shake of his head, " its a clear case, and law is law. You are young yet, May, aud it makes me sad to see one in the bud of life recklessly tramp ling under foot the opportunity to become a groat woman. Joan of Arc hadn't your chance. Victoria Woodhull wasn't known to the world at your age. Susan B. An thony didn't get her namo in the news papers until she was a hundred years old. Why don't you emulate some of those heroines?" "Em who?" inquired the prisoner. "It is evident to me," remarked the Court, in a changed voice, " that you have no aspirations no longings for fame. You had rather be a hen on the fence than an eaglo among the clouds, and I'll make it sixty days." " Am I sent up ?" she replied. "You are." " Then draw the dagger and strike me here !" she cried, putting her hands on her corset and rolling up her eyes. Bijah puts his arm around her slender waist and told ber that his Honor bad left his dagger at home for the cook to peol potatoes with, and he asked her for his sake to consent to live a few days longer, as onions and rad ishes were just beginning to sprout, and he had seen three new band' organs on the street that morning. ; War of Races In Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn., August 20. A num ber of negroes at Pickottsville, Gibson county, six miles from Humboldt, threat ened a riot last Saturday and Sunday on account of some supposed wrong done them, and manifested a strong desire to kill two or three citizens and flro and sack the town. Yesterday sixteen of the ringleaders were arrested, taken to Trenton, and plac ed in jail for safe keopipg. . About one o'clock this morning between 75 and 100 masked men entered the town, aud riding to the jail demanded and compelled the sheriff to deliver up the keys thereof. - They then took the sixteen negroes from prison, and after killing four and mortally wounding two on the confines of the town, rode off with the remaining ten, and arc supposed to have killed them. Nothing has been heard of the party since they loft. Considerable excitement exists among tho negroes, and the whites are taking stops to defend themselves iu case of an outbreak. , tlT" A few days stuce the wages of the girls in Dunham's woollen mill, in Poquon nock, were reduced, or held back, to meet the expense of wastage made by thoir work. This Incensed the employees, tho men tak ing the part of the girls, and a strike fol lowed. The men prevented the girls from going to work Wednesday, and the consta bles there could not preserve tho peace. Four men threatened the bosses, and fol. lowed them through the mills with bars of Iron, and the bosses barely escaped by draw lug revolvers in their own defence. Word was sent to constables, who came and arres ted the men. Miscellaneous News Items. 13T A wag walked into a saloon where three mon wore sitting around the flreloss stove. As he entered all eyes were turned toward him. Apparently taking a mental inventory of the number of people In the room the newcomer stepped up to the bar and blandly ordered four glosses of beer. The boots that had adorned the top of the stove now sought the floor, the three men cleared thoir mouths of tobacco, and all looked at the bartender as ho filled the glasses and placed thorn in a row on the bar. 'When everything was ready, the three loungors rose and the stranger paid for the boer, and then starting with the glass furthest from the door, he emptied all that the bartender bad filled and quick ly loft the saloon. The three chairs were resumed. tW A correspondent writos as follows of a celebrated place in Colorado Canon,callcd Echo Park : " When a gun is discharged, total silence follows the report for a moment; thon, with a startling suddonncss, the echo is heard, seeming at a great distance say five miles to the south whence it comes back in separate distinct reverborations, as if leaping from glon to glon. Louder and quicker grows tho sound, until apparently directly opposite, when a full volume is re turned ; then once more the echo is heard, like the snapping of a cap far to the east ward." tW Dotroit judge to Daniol Smith : " Whiskey is what ails you, sir, and if some good kicker would get hold of you and boot you from Uamtramck to Springwells it would do you more good than a run of the fever. When I see a young man like you loafing around, clothes in rags, eyes red, nose red) pockets emtpy, and feathers in his hair, I wonder why the lightning ever strikes any one else. Take him back, Bi jah, and when the Maria starts make him waltz up lively." COntho 10th of September, 1845, a ball of lightning presented itself at the door of a kitchen, in the valley of La Coui iezo. Three women experienced no fear in the presence of tho strange visitor. They shouted to a young man near whose feet the ball was rolling, to step upon it and extinguish it. But he had learned to re spect the mysteries of the fluid, and allow ed the ball to pass by. It entered a stable noar to, and killed a pig who dared to scent it in a most rude aud unbecoming manner 1 tWOn Monday last two sons of Henry Myers, of New York, and another lad named Hopke, crossed the Hudson river in a boat noar Hastings, and attempted to climb tho palisades.
