The country baa li.inlly got through reading a description of tiio ilumniury and nonsense connected with the marriage of Miss Sherman, when another grand wedding is announced. This time it will be Lieut. George M. Wheeler, of tho Engineer Corps, and well-known ex plorer, to Miss Blair, niece of ex-Postmaster General Montgomery Blair. If official positions will afford such expenditures as are indulged in upon these occasions, can it bo wondered at, that there is a strife for office, and that labor in tho .work shops, and upon the farms, is looked upon with disfavor by the youth of the nation. ,,, Eecent ?'.eetkns. . Last Tuesday, , elections were beld in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, , West Virginia, Arkansas, Nebraska and Dakota. In Iowa the entire Republican ticket with the exception of one CvngreHsman, was elected, by about the usual majority. " In Ohio, the Democrats had a majority on tho State ticket of from ten to fifteen thousand, which is a decided gain for them over the last election, when the Democrat io Governor was elected by 81?. The dem ocrats also elect 13 and perhaps 14 of the twenty congressmen. In Indiana the Democratic majority is quite large, being probably fifteen thou sand. The democrats also elect 0 con gressmen, the Republicans 8 and Inde pendent 1, being a Republican loss of 7 members. The Legislature is also Demo cratic on joint ballot, i West Virginia returns, show the election of probably an entire domooratio congres sional delegation, though the Republicans may have elected one member. . Arkansas elects the Domooratio ticket by .10,000 majority, and adopt the New Con stitution by tbe same vote. ' Nebraska gives fully 10,000 Republican majority on the whole ticket. Dakota elects a Republican delegate to Congress. , The Grain Crop. Tbe October returns of the department, of agriculture Indicate the avorage con dition of the corn crop at 80 per cent, against 83 per cent, in September. All the New England slates show improved condi tion except in Maine mid Connecticut. The middle states show a decline during tbe month. Tbe south Atlantic coast states and the gulf states, as a whole, about hold their own except Louisiana, where the average sinks irom seventy-six to sixty-nino. Of the southern iuland states, Tennessee and West Virginia show considerable improvement Arkansas and Kentucky almost stationary. North of the Ohio the crops conditions are more favorable. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois show rising averages. Wis consin declined four per cent. West of tho Mississippi and on the Pacific coast, all the states show au improved condition except Oregon, which remains the same. In those states afllioted with tho grasshop per plague considerablo improvement upon the low averages of tbe last few months is manifest. CJfUov. 1 1 art ran ft has issued death warrants in the cases of Daniel O'Mara and 1'atrick Irvin, for the murder of tbe moth er and sister of the former in Susquehanna couuty, and Wm. E. Udderzook, for the murder of W infield S. Goss, in Chester County, and fixed the date of execution for Thursday, November 12th. A Singular Case A Woman ns a Sharper. Among the recont pardons granted by Oov. Hart ran ft, was that of a German named David G. Sill, who was swindled by a woman out of over $300 in money and seutenced to prison for one yoar on a false charge of robbery, The German, who is a native of Russia, says that last winter ho determined to emigrate to this country, having heard of it being such a good place to obtain work. On the 1st or 2d of Feb ruary last he took tbe steamer at Bremen for New York. On board tbe ship he met a young woman, apparently not over twen ty years of ago. The young woman bo came very friendly with him and seemed to make herself interested somewhat in his welfare. She asked hint where ho was bouud for. He replied, " New York." She then stated that she was a married woman aud had a husband living in St. Louis, as well as a brother ; that if he would go along with ber to St. Louis she could get him employment at her brother's, lie thought this good luck, as he did not know where to lay his foot or turn his hand when he would get into New York, and he gladly accepted the offer. When they arrived at Castle Garden he had his gold money changed into greenback. He had $371 in gold, and after getting his money changed and paying his fare to SU Louis he had $391 In greenbacks. lie and the woman took tho care for St. Louis, go ing by way of Meadville, Pa. On the way to Moadville the woman stated that they would have to remain over there from ten o'clock1 at night until seven o'clock In the morning in order to make the connec tion of trains. At the first station before they reached Meadville, Sill got out to get a cup of coffoe, leaving tbe young woman sitting in a seat apparently asleep. Just as he entered the car again the woman jump ed up, and fumbling about her clothes halloed she was robbed, calling the con ductor with tbe same breath, and pointing to him (Sill) said " that's the man that rob bed mo." She said that she had been rob bed of $333 in bank notes and a $000 check. - Afterwards, however, she denied the check part As soon as the train stop ped at Meadville, the woman had ft police man called in and had Sill arrested. He was taken to the lock up, and upon being searched $307 were found upon him. Tbe circumstantial evidence of robbery was, of course, very strong and Hill was held for trial. It at first dumbfounded the prisoner he had placed so much confidence in the woman add for her thus to act toward bim he couldn't understand. He at length concluded, however, that it ' was a "sot np job" to rob him. He remembered of having counted his money in the presence of tho woman, and she therefore could guess pretty nearly what amount he had. Knowing nearly the sum he had, she had taken this means of robbing him of it, by falsely alleging that she had been robbed herself, having him arrested for It, and upon his conviction, of course, she would get the amount she claimed. She worked her case well and got what she wanted. Sill was tried, convicted and sentenced to one year in tbe penitentiary. The amount she swore she had been robbed of ($338) was then paid over to her out of Sill's money found upon his person, and tbe remainder was held by tbe county. Tbe woman then left Meadville, saying she was going to St. Louis, but bo one knows whore. On the 20th of April, Sill was taken to tbe peni tentiary in Allegheny and remained there until his pardon arrived on Tuesday morn log. ' A She Devil. A Paduoah (Ky.,) Paper says : " Some weeks ago a woman calling herself Bridget Maloney applied to Dr. Jackson, of Colum bus, Ky., for the place of cook. Employ ment was given her, and for a short while she gave satisfaction. A few days ago the Doctor noticed some irregularities in her life and notified her that she must look out for another home. This anneared to infuriate her bevond j control ; the pent-up devil in ber nature ' i . r . I- t . r , .... . Durst lurui in a iury 01 passion mac eoni the Doctor scampering for tbe police, and the family for aa asylum of safety, when he returned Bridget bad departed, leaving his mirrors and furniture a wreck. It ap pears that, from a mistaken kindness, she was not prosecuted, but allow to depart unmolested. From his residence she wont to the hotel or boarding house kept by an estimable German Catholio named Switzher, near the Mississippi and Ohio Railroad. Sho easily imposed ber self upon the good nature of this lady, and was permitted to .stop with her, paying ber board in work. , She be haved badly again and Mrs. Switzher dis charged her. Instead of going off, however, she went up into Mrs. Switzber's room (It was immediately after breakfast) and sent for this lady from the diuing room. When she got into her presence she com menced to abuse ber in a most shameful manner. Mrs. Switzher tried to quiet her, and expressed sympathy for her. Bridget told her that she had better sympathize with herself, and made at her. Mi's. Switzher rushed down stairs, leaving her throe children, consisting of a little boy 4 years old, two daughters aged respectively 6 and 10, in tbe room. The oldest says that the two children wore in the bed with tbe mosquito bar fastened down around it, aud that Bridget deliberately took the lamp and saturated tho bod and children with coal oil and fired it. Before assistance could reach them the passage was a solid sheet of flame, and the two children were burned with the house and most of the furniture. TUq fiend is in prison, and the poor mother is nearly dis tracted with grlof at ber terrible loss. ' i t A Curious Will Case Settled. A very curious will caso has just been settled in Now York. In January last Jacob Stinor, a wealthy tea morcbant of that city, mot bis death by falling from a second-story window while endeavoring to escnpo from his burning house. His wife and daughter Deborah perished on tbe same occasion, their dead bodies being found after the flames had keen extinguish ed. Mr. Stinor devised his property to his wife during hor lifetime, the same, at her death, to be divided equally between his three unmarried children, Misses Deborah and Flora and Mr. Joseph Stinor. Tbe will was duly offored and admitted to pro bate and it was assumed that Mr. Stiner died before either his wife or daughter. But in regard to Mrs. Stiner and her daugh ter it was different and at the time of appli cation for letters of administration on the estate of Miss. Deborah Stiuer, the ques tion arose as to whether her death occurred before or after that of her mother. Tbo question before tbe surrogate's court was this : As Mr. Stiner left his property to his wife during her life, if Miss Doborah had died first, tbe whole estate would have to go to the two surviving children named in the will. If, on tbe other baud, her mother bad died first, then she would have inherit ed, and as she died intestate, her property would have to "be divided among ber heirs-at-law that is to say, among all her broth ers and sisters, including tbe married daughters, to whom Mr. Stiner left nothing in his will. It was found impossible to fix the exact period of the death of the persons named, aud by consent of all contesting parties, the separate applications) for letters of administrations on the estate of Deborah Stiner were dismissed. A private settle ment will be mado. . A Doctor's Experiment. The Philadelphia Star says : ," Since Dr. Dawson, of our city, has successfully ac complished the scientific feat of transfusing blood all the doctors ate crazy to make tbe experiment. - We hoar of ono who has tried it with the most astonishing results. His first experiment was in treating a man for obesity.. He thought there was too much fat in his blood, and concluding it would be a very good thing to mix veinous fluid from avery lean animal with it. The best he could do was to got a poor old broken-down circus horse of Mike Lip man, whose blood seemed thin enough to inhale, almost. The experiment was suc cessful so far as draining the horse of his gore and shooting it into the patient was concerned, but tbe effect on that fat man is more than tbe doctor couuted on. His wife went walking with bim tho first time be was able to be out, and a band of musio passing on tbe street be began to prance around, snort and kick up his heels In the most ridiculous manner. For an elderly and unwioldly person of three hundred pounds, or such a matter, to behave in that frisky way on the street, excited shouts of laughter, although the old man couldn't help it for the life of him. His wife don't go out walking with him any more. She says if he is going to play circus he can't play it with hor. Tbe fit comes on him every once in a while now. He has nearly broken his neck several times trying to. jump the clothes horse in a hurdle-race. He was caught one day backing up a riokety step-ladder on all fours, imagining he was Dan Rice's "Ex celsior." He is perfectly delighted if be can find sawdust to play in, and lie goes around hunting for the clown's pocket handkerchief, which instinct tells bim is eovered up somewhere about. Railroad Difficulty. , ' The York (Pa.) Daily says : " An ex citement was caused at Hanover, Pa., last week between the officers of the Hanover branch and Gettysburg railroad company and York Short Line railroad company. It appears that in the evening the work men on the Short Line began work to cross tho Gettysburg track on tbe Short Line, when the officers of the Hanover branch and Gettysburg road ordered out two trains, with locomotives, which ran down to Gettysburg. Tbe Short Line workmen i being notified of their approach, attempted to tear up the track, throwing iron rails and cross ties on the track, when the train came dashing over the rails into a crowd of men who had ossomblod, but no one was hurt. The Short Line men assisted by others, however, soon put the cars out of tbe way, and the officers of the Hanover branch had a warrant issued . charging John Young, Joseph S. Gitt, and others with tearing up tbe track. When the ar rest was attempted to be made a crowd of some two or three hundred men interfered and prevented tbe taking of a single man. 13T While Mr. George Lines,' of Long Run district, Garrett county, was 'engaged In cutting down a tree a few days since bis two little children, aged four aud six" years, wbo were playing close by, were struck by tbe falling tree, killing one instantly and the other dying in half aa hour. .. . ... , . . Another Innoecnt Swindled. A few days ago Charles Paulsoii,a young man of about twenty-six, met Albert Mohlor, a resident of Thomastown, Conn., In the Merchants' Hotel in Cortlandt street, and represented bimsolf as an. agent for a fictitious railroad out West. Ho offered to get Mohlor a permanent situation at a salary of $l"i0 a mouth on this railroad for $150 cash, . . , Mohler, ot doubting the sincerity of Paulson's intentions, paid bim the money, and then accompanied him to Boston, where he was to receive bis appointment. When they had reached Boston, Paulson said that ho bad received a very important tele gram which required his immediate pres ence in Wasbington, and promising to re turn soon, he left Mohlor. After waiting some timo Mohlor con cluded to return to New York,' and on ar riving there he happened to meet Paulson, and bad bim arrested. ' Harder by a Woman. Evansville, Ind., October 13.

He remembers when Parson Taggart had a sermon which . he was determined that the people should bear. Having preached one hour and a half on it during the forenoon, he told his audience that he concluded to give them tho other half in tbe afternoon, but, as he was afraid half of his audience would not be thore in the afternoon, he would then preach the other half, which be accordingly did, giving his people a sermon over three hours' long. tW An inquest has been held at Man Chester, England, on tbe body of a shoe maker named .

" Well, yes," replied the deacon, " 'tis a little late, but I have attended a prayer and conference meeting over in Chelsea, tliis evening, and tbe interest was prolong ed." Just then bo inadvertently removed his hat, possibly to relievo his conscience, when two theatre checks full out on the floor.

For years, Quinine was regarded as the only peclllc tor malarious disease, and Immense quantities of the drug were annually consumed throughout our western country, more particular ly along the river bottoms and adjoining low lands. With the tall months malaria, I if all its varied forms, stalk like an epidemic through the land, and whole districts are prostrated with chills and fever, the entire popula'ion shaking with ague. Heretofore, quinine was regularly resorted to; but, while it frequently failed to effect a cure, It Invariably deranged the stomach, producing nausea, vertigo and fugitive pains In the head to such an extent that months elapsed ere the sys tem recovered from Its effects. These objections to its use were so marked, that the Introduction of Mishler's Herb Hitters was hailed ass triumph In medicine. Infinitely more certain In Its bene ficial effects than quinine, It possessed none of the demerits of that drug. Instead of nauseating, It tones and Invigorates the stomach, and while speedily expelling the noxious liiiinois. increases the appetite and facilitates digestion, thus render ing the system stronger, and better fitted to resist the attacks of disen.se. In fact, a Judicious use of Mishler's Herb Hitters at thisseasou of the year, will prevent the recurrence of this disease, even In those who have never passed an autumn with out it. An exierlence of twenty years proves it to be the greatest anti-fekiouiu known to medi cal science. There are, perhaps, no diseases so subject to climatic changes as affections of the Kidneys. Hundreds of our farmers, mechanics, and labor ing men, strong and hardy In all other respects, suffer continual Inconvenience, and occasionally excruciating pains In the back and across the , loins ; experience a frequent desire to pass water, pain in its passage, and frequent stoppages In its now. These are manifestations resulting from some strain or heavy lift (perhaps years ago), and aggravated by every change In the weather. Every slight cold flies direct to this one weak spot, aud unless promptly attended to the disease becomes chronic, anil the once strong man a miserable wreck. Mishler's Herb bitters is the only certain remedy for this class of diseases.. It has a oeou. liar tendency to the kidneys, stimulates them to healthy action, and removing the cause, prevents the formation of brick-dust deposits, which. If permitted to continue, will by cohesion form grav el stone, necessitating c painful operation for Its removal. Many of the Ingredients entering Into Its composition, are universally recognized as spe clllcs for all complaints of the urinary organs. In I.iver Complaint, Dyspepsia, all disorders of th Ilowels, and affections ol the Throat and Lungs, It Is equally certain and etficaclous; while, as a remedy for the complaints peculiar to the female sex, it has no equal.
