Tub disposition of many good citizens is to neglect the elections, to stay away tram them and not vote. This is wrong. by this nt-gluct vicious men sometimes become roasters of the political situation If this neglect is continued, in time, re sults of the most deplorable character will follow. The class of citizens refer red to 13 the last one that would do aught intentionally against society, but by their neglect they frequently do it great in jury. So much is this the case already in large cities that thiuking men of all parties are crying out against it. Some (Sea gu so fur as to propose as a remedy a forced attendance at the polls, General Sargeaut. at Boston, on the 4 th, inst., proposed such as a remedy. Here is an item from his speech: So we. who think the ballot super cedes the bayonet, and would not see it turned against society by the vicious, improvident, and dangerous classes, who liavo no interest of property or character to protect, should under the severest pains and penalties, compel every citi zen to vote. Electiou days should be the roll call of the nation. The citizen has no more right to v.ithholJ his unit from the sum of law and order than has the soldier to desert the field where his stuskct aiay decide the combat. If we are a Government the governing power must rst desert itself." Force in this direction would be a violation of the spirit of a Republican form of government. Let ever man dis charge his duty at tbe polls and the talk of compulsion will disappear, and tbe danger arising from neglect of duty will no longer exiut, and the republic be terpetsi.ted. IatrodnetlM tf Amcrieaa Aftioltn U Japa. Hon. Horace Capron, United State Commissioner of Agriculture, resign d tome dart ago. Hon. Edward Watt, of Carlisle, has been appointed by the Pres ident to fill the vacancy. Gen. Capron resigned for the purpose of heading an agricultural mission to Japan to intro duce tbe system of American agriculture iuto that ancient kingdom. This is the grandeet mission that tbe world has ever witnessed. It ia many centuries since man started from his birthplace in Asia on hi westward course of travels, and now he is about to return to bis borne in the East, to iutroduce to hi kindred there a new civilization, embodying the xperience of about six thousand years. The Washington Chronicle editorially thus writes of it : 44 The mission to which General Cap ron has been called by the Japanese Government ia not only one of high dig nity, but also of incalculable, influence i in the present crisis of the world's civili sation tie u strongly indorsed ny President Grant and his entire Cabinet.

Tub American Institute Farmers' Club is twenty-eight years of aire. It relative to everything in agriculture is asked of them from every quarter of the United Stales. In tbe report made by tbe Club at the session last June, and published in a late number of tbe Hearth, and Borne, we find the following, which explains itself : George E. Ilencb, of Port Royal. Pa., wrote: "We have here what is termed a siukbole in tbe ea. th, into which tbe sawdust of a mill haa been carried at the rate of 150 bushels per annum by a stream runuing from the base of the Tus carora Mountain, for the term of thirty years. Tbe streams carries down leaves rotten wood, soil, pure sand, etc., making a composition of about one half sawdust of oak and pino in equal parts, and tbe articles mentioned above. We can take this mixture out at the rate of 20 bushels per diem, ith two men and two horses, and put it iu our manure-yards 1'he soil here is a sandy soil, with a clay subsoil. We can get good gray rock lime delivered upou laud at the rate of 12 per 100 bushels. Will it pay to cart out the sawdust, and, if so, with what should it be mixed, and how and when should it be applied to tbe land ?'' lie was informed that pine sawdust was of very little value, but that if oak was sawed at the mil, the chips, shavings, etc.. would be valuable. The roiten leaves would add value to the residum. The general opinion was that it wonld pay to cart the refuse from the sinkhole, and to nse it for composting or as a top dressing.

The Democratic party, as a party, has no standard principles. This, with many, was a question of doubt until recently. But we now all have an occolar demon stration of the fact that tbe Democratic party, as a party, is not founded on any known standard principles, bnt policy only, and that policy is in a clan who were once in power, but now are out ; and, being long out in the cold, are shiv ering with cold and hunger. Being pov erty stricken, they are ready to say and do almost anything to gain their lost prestige. Last year they proposed to kick the colored man away from the ballot-box ; this year they propose to kiss him, and say, "Come, vote with us, for we be brethreu." But how futile will their duplicity prove. Does not the col ored man know who struck tbe shackles from his feet, who lifted the yoke from off his shoulders, who lifted him out of bon dage, and said unto him, "Go now, be a man, for yon are free by the action of your humane and christian friends. The great national Republican party has made you free." Is not this truth ? Now the Democratic party approves the late amendments to the United States Consti tution They, like the young cats, have only lately got their eyes open, and, yea, now they see. But, unfortunately for that party, they can't find an able trusty mau to pilot them through the next cam paign ; and, as they have lost their Ohio chief, (who, by the way, unfortunately slew himself,) oh, don't they feel miser able ! But, as they are a broken party, they want a new platform, for "old things are passed away, and all things are be come new." Hence they must, if tbey desire strength, incorporate in heir new platform at least one article in favor of the Ku Klux, and auother in favor of trades union strikes, and auother in favor of the Fenians, and so forth, and then put old Andy Johnston foremost to run the political machine, for he is good on the circle. They can't find another al derman to keep np with him. M. Death from Blowing Down a Lamp Chimney. . Another of those shocking causal ties resulting from tbe use of coal oil, oc curred on the West Side on Tuesday night Mis. Elizabeth Stark, living at No. 18 Mill street, comer of York, dis robed to retire about 10 o'clock. She attempted to extinguish the lamp in the very common manner by blowing down the chimney. The lamp exploded throw ing over her tbe blazing liquid and in an instant she was enveloped in flames. iler husbaud, who was in bed, sprang out with all possible haste and made every effort to smother the flame by wrapping around her bis coat and other garments. The screams of the terrified and suffering woman called the neigh bors to her assistance, and the flames were at length subdued, bnt not till the unfortunate victim had been terribly burned. Medical aid was called and everything possible done for her relief, but she died about midnight, after two hours of excruciating agony. She was the mother of four children, her youngest a babe but seven weeks old. Her hus band was badly burned in his effort to save her. but his injuries are not thought to be dangerous. Cleveland 11 rail. Saunders' Presbyterian Hospital. On Saturday, the 1st inst., in tbe grove of the Saunders College, Thirty-uinth street, above Market, Philadelphia, the interesting ceremony attending the dona tion of $100,000 to the Presbyterian Church by the Rev. Dr. E. D. Saunders, of Philadelphia, was witnessed by many persons. Rev. Dr. Mosgrave presided. Mayor Fox and Judge Allison took part in the exercises. The money was given to the Presbyterians for the establishment of a Hospital in which "the afflicted will be received without distinction on account of creed, country or color." The Hos pital will be named "Saunders' Presby terian Hospital." With an exchange, we heartily wish Dr Saunders great success in this enterprise, which promises relief to suffering humanity in all time to come. From a Southern paper we clip the following little anecdote, which seems to be the parable of the "new departure :' A North Carolina negro, who has been a wandering idiot from a blow re ceived on the skull while a servant in the Confederate army, was the other day subject to a difficult operation at the hands of a skilful surgeon. His first gleam of intelligence after the result of the operation was as he opened his eyes and said; "We was done gone fo' at Manassas, yesterday.

Specimens of either, no doubt, the Pub lisher wonld forward on application ; or, what wonld be better still, order them three months on trial. Edward Everett, when at college, used to walk to Boston, when practica ble, on Saturday mornings, carrying the week's soiled clothes in a bundle to be washed, and bringing back the bundle of clean clothes in the evening. There was not then a carpet, a window curtin, a sofa, or an easy cbair in any student's room; and nearly all the young men brought their supply of water from the pumps, and trimmed their own lamps. 1 PrseeewUMi Airafat the Oessmlttee that lMstri bated Ue $20,000 Fire Belief Faad. It has been rumored for week, that private meetings have been held by cer tain parties, to devise ways and means by which a prosecution might be brought against tbe Committee, for the manner in which the 20,000 was disbursed. Arrangements have been so far perfected by those moving in the matter that ' the case has been put into thi hands of B. F. Jnokin, Esq., of Bloom field. The Bloomfieid Time of this week publishes the following in regard to tbe case : A " bill in equity" was filed against the Committee appointed to distribute the 820,000. donated to tbe destitute and needy suffering by the great fire at Mif ftintown. The bill has been prepared by Hon. B. F. Juukin, counsel for James Robinson, of Mifflintowa, who is the Plaintiff, and will be filed to day or to marrow. After quoting the Act of the Legislature, the bill makes the follow ing averment: "That under the provisions of said Act, tbe said named committee, who are tbe Defendants iu this proceeding, re ceived the said twenty thousand dollars, so as aforesaid appropriated by said Act, and accepted the said trust of distribu ting the same amongst tbe destitute and needy, and proceeded to pay out as sta ted in the 2d column of " Schedule A," which shows the payment of $16 500 not objected to, to the persons in said Sched ule named, and leaving ia their own bands S3S00 either not paid out at all, or if paid out in part, was paid out as fol lows, to wit : To Edmund S Doty, a man of large means, believed to be worth over 8100,000, said Defendants as said Committee paid the sum of $1500: to James M. Sellers, believed to be worth over $30,000 and is a man of large means, tbey paid 81000 ; to W. W. Wil son, a man worth over $40,000. and a man of large means, they paid $100 ; to George 'acobs, a man believed to be worth $30,000, and is a man of large means, they paid $150; and to Mrs. Samuel Bell, who lost nothing by the fire of the 31st December, 1870, whose property was destroyed by another fire and was situated in Fermanagh town ship, Juniata county, Pa., three miles distant from the borough of MifHintown, tbey gave S250. And your Orator believes and tn be lieving avers that the last five specified payments were made by Defendants a Committee aforesaid either through fraud or grot n'gl'genct on their part, they the defendants at the time of so doing, well knowing that the said last mention ed five persons were not the objects of the bounty of the State, and were in no wie entitled to any part of the said 20,000. And your Orator believes and believ ing avers that the said Committee, the Defendants, retainer! each the sum of 8100 00 (in all S500.00.) for their aer vices in paying out said $20,000.00, thus subtracting from the objects of the bounty the sum of S500.00. in addition to the mispayments before mentioned. The prayer for relief is : lit That said Defendants (Committee as aforesaid) be enjoined from paying out any part of said $20,000.00. to Edmund S. Doty, George Jacobs, Mrs. Samuel Bell. James M. Sellers and William W Wilson. 2d. That said Defendants be compell ed by a decree of this Court, to pay out of the f-aid $20,000. so as afoiesaid ap ! propriated by the State, to James Rod ineon, tue l laintin, tne sum appearing to be due to him to wit five hundred and thirteen dollars and ninety two cents as his pro rata share of the said $3500 00, either remaining in the hands of said Defendants, or by their gross negligence and fraud illegally paid 'out. in whole, or in part, ti the said Doty, Wilson, Jacobs. Sellers and Mrs. Samuel Bell. 3d. That such other relief may be given as may be, or become necessary or proper. James Robinson. Plaintiff, B. F. Jun kin, Solicitor for Plaintiff. A lady writing from Eldorado, Kan sas, gives a graphic account of the tornado of June 16 : "I have often tried to imagine what a hurricane would be, but I had no idea it would be like that I don't believe a can non could have been beard two feet away from the house for the roaring of tbe wind and hail. Most of tbe people had just retired to bed. Some sprang up and snatched whatever came first, and rushed forth to be pelted and strip ped by the pitiless storm or hurt by fall ing timbers. I was more afraid of that storm than of being crushed by the house, and I would not go. The house surged up and down several times, and then away it went. The country is desolate People that were dressed and their houses blown away had every shred of clothing stripped off them. One man was found half a mile from his ru ins. insensible The last he remembered was tbe bouse piviu gway An emigrant wagon was blown into tbe river, the man landing in the forks of a tree. We were not entirely blown away, but every thii ig is ruined. There was nearly as much mud and water within as there was without." Death Results from Folly. A fatal accideut happened on Leading creek, West Virginia, last week, which is a sad warning to those who are in the habit of playing jokes on children. The facts are, as -my informant stated them : A Captain Ford happened near Mr. Jessie Uornett's home with a pan ther skin, and seeiug a little boy about twelve or fourteen years of age, a son of Mr. Homett. in a skirt of wood near the house, donned the skin with the inten tion of frightening the little fellow, but as soon as the boy saw what he supposed to be a pauthar, he ran to the house and took down bis father's rifle, and weut iu pursuit of the panther He did not have to go far before he espied him. The boy rested the rifle on the fence and fired. Tbe man-pantber gave a dying shriek, and, with a convulsive spasm, fell over, mortallay wounded. .The little fellow did not see bu mistake until he went up to the wounded man." Ford lingered two dap and then died. St. ' LTHCH LAW 15 nXUOIS. A Bey Terribly Beastei and theu Whin Bedt Death by Hia FaUer-The Fiend Lynched. . Sfbinopield, July, 6 From a gen tleman just from Oilman, I learn the de tails of the most horrible murder of this age: A man of the same of Martin Mera, about three weeks ago. beat his son, aged ten years, in a terrific manner, so badly that it was impossible for the little fellow to get out of bed when called by his father the next morning. This seemed to exasperate the brutal fellow, and, taking a red hot poker, he thrusts it into the boy's side, and, not satisfied with this, took the boy up from bed, and, putting him on the red hot stove, held him there until the little fellow was burned horribly. He then took bim into a room where tho mother lay, having just been confined, and beat bim over the bead with the but eud of a whip, until death came to the relief of the little sufferer. Tbe brutal wretch threw the lifeless body under the bed on which his wife was lying, and told her if she breathed a word of the affair he would kill her. That night he wrapped the body of the boy in a sheet, and buried it near the hedge in his garden. The next morning he went to Gilman and adver tised the boy as a runaway, offering a reward for information of his where abouts. On Saturday last, suspicion having been aroused by some words let fall by the boy's sister, the mother and two daughters were taken in charge, and the man arrested After the mother found her brute of a husband was under arrest, she told tbe whole dreadful story of the murder. The body of the boy was found, and the terrible reality and a'rocity of the murder fully demonstra ted. Of course the excitement was in tense, and it required all the nerve and skill of the officers in charge of the pris oner to prevent bis being lynched. The man lives on a small farm between Gil man and Onarga, and has always had the reputation of being a brutal fellow. A later despatch says a crowd of citi zens, to the number of ne.-.rly a thousand, including men, women aud children, pro ceeded to the jail and took therefrom Mera, and proceeded to a convenient place, where, after giving him twenty minntes to pray, a rope was placed around his neck and thrown over a limb j of a tree, and hundreds of ready bands hauled bim up, and there held him until he was dead. A TEXAS TlUliEDI. A Man Mistakes His Wife for a Borglar, anrt Cuts ller to Pieces with a Bowie knife. A gentleman from the neighborhood in Grimes county, some five miles from Navasota, where the saddest occurrence which, we believe, we have ever record ed, took place on Saturday night, July 1st, gives us some particulars additional to those which have already been pub lished. We refer to the accidental kill ing of his wife by Mr, Briggs Goodrich, a kind husband, as we learn, and a sober industrious and respected citizen. There were, it seems several robbers in the house, and Mrs. Goodrich, hear ing them, had aroused her husbaud, aud he not being able to find his pistil, had taken a bowie knife and was in pursuit of tbe thieves. He had struck at one of them, and another had passed him inside of the house, and he seems to have hast ened outside and around to the window of his own bedroom, which he knew to be hoisted, with the expectation of in tercepting the escape of some of the burglars. It is said that chloroform bad been used by the thieves, but not sufficiently to produce stupefaction. . Yet it is likely that the feeling of faintness caused by tbe inhalations of the chloroform induced Mrs Goodrich to rise from the bed where she had been left by her husband and go to the wiudow for air. There she was found by her excited husband, and, as the night was so dark that he could dis cern only the outlines of the figure, he naturally imagined that he saw one of the robbers about to pass out through the window. Then came blows, bearing all tbe human mind can conceive of the terrible blows by which a husband took tbe life of his own wife with the knife. We learn that he is distracted and cannot be trusted alone, but is guarded constantly to prevent the commission of suicide. Mrs. is represented as a very accomplished and noble woman, and it ia said that she died with words of sympa thy for ber unfortunate husband upon ber lips. In the utter consternation and des olation which followed the terrible trag edy we are informed that the only child of the marriage, which is still almost an infant, was seen with its bead pillowed upon the slain mother's bi east, begging her to awake and grant it an evidence of rec ognition. During a storm in Nebraska, Wed nesday night the 5ih inst., a train on the Tremont and Blair Railroad was lifted from the track and blown tweuty feet from the rails. An infant was killed, a mail agent fatally injured, and fifteen other persons more or less hurt. A German farmer, who attempted to stop some runaway horses attached to a mowing machine on Lis farm in Pales tine, III , stumbled and fell, and tbe ma chine completely severed his head and right arm from his body.

A ihark caught off Charleston had a pair of boots, a scalp two cannon balls and a package of Sunday school tickets in his stomach. A child waa bom in Ohio the other day with its right hand and arm perfectly black, while the remainder of its body was strangely white. Watermelons are so numerous and cheap in Florida, that an enterprise has been started for ther shipment to the Jlorth in large quantites. The Governer of Georgia may safely claim the championship in the pardoning line. He has granted 346 pardons since August, 1863. They include 43 cases of murder.

Only three cities of the world are known to contain more than a million of inhabitants. They are London, Paris and Calcutta. The population some times ascribed to Pekin is now regarded j as a mere delusion. A Springfield, Mass., man waa going home one night, when he was assailed j by a couple of rowdies, who asked him if he had any money. "Yes, lots of it," said he, and at once knocked them down aud gave each of them a good beating. At Columbia South Carolina, peaches am becoming a drug in tbe market. On last Friday a lot was disposed of at auc tion at thirty cents a bushel. Oa Satur day they were higher, selling from wag ons in the small at twenty cents a peck. Hon. D. J. Morrell was thrown from his carriage on the evening of the 6th, inst. about three miles from Johnstown. Pa, and very severely injured. His physicians say he will recover if he is j not injured internally, although he will be confined to his room for a long time. In North East, the other day, a young woman threw Scotch snuff into the eyes of a man who, as she charges, had slandered her, and while he was blinded by the pungent powder, belabored him severely with a cowhide. The man who received thecastigation occupied a promt rent position in the society of the village. A wedding ring which belonged to Pau line Uurnnm, an English lady who was lost in the steamship "Anglo "Saxon," wrecked off Chance Cove, N. F., in 1S 61, was lately restored to her relations by a St. Johns (N. F.,) fisherman, who found the ring in tbe entrails of a codfish. The lucky fisherman received a present of 50 for restoring the highly prized memento to the lady's son. One of the public observances of the Fourth of July at Burlington, Iowa, was a bricklaying match between a half breed Indian and a Caucasian, and it is said the Indian worked as industriously as his white brother. If the dusky son of the forest could be induced to give np whiskey and scalping knives, and settle down to honest industry, the Indian ques tion would settle itself very easily. A home-made disinfectant dissolve a buc-liel of salt in a barrel of water, and witb the salt water slack a barrel of lime, which should be wet enough to form a kind of paste. For the purpose of a disinfetaut, this home-made chloride of lime is nearly as good as that purchased at the shops and stores. Use it freely about sinks, cellars, gutters and out buildings, and in this way prevent sick ness, suffering and expense. A gentleman, of Norfolk, Va , lately lost a valuable ring, and consulting a for tune teller, was told that the ring had been dropped into the food of a fine calf which he owned, aud had been swallow ed by the animal The calf was killed, its stomach searched, and the ring was not found. The family of the gentleman have since luxuriated in veal which ta king the price at which the calf (a high ly improved breed) could have been sold for as standard, must have been worth at least $3.50 per pound. Hatfield, Mass., farmers are trying a novel mode of fertilizing their crops. One of them tried sowing Indian meal on his tobacco land last year, side by side with bis guano, and was so well pleased with the results, that this year he sowed ten tons on his tobacco land. Another is trying cotten seed meal for the same purpose, and others are making an experiment with barley meal. Wheat bran is said by the "scientific" to con tain moat of the elements of tbe wheat which are found in phosphates. If bar ley meal proves to be a good fertilizer, buying the grain from breweries, which are sold for eight or ten cents per bushel, would certainly be a cheap mode of en riching the soil.
