A great inundation of the river Po,
near Ferrara, Italy, last week, caused
wide spread desolation and terrible suf
fering. Immense tracts of couutry are
nnder water and 40,000 people are house
less. Philadelphia was never as much crowd
ed with strangers as during the late Na
tional Convention. The hotels were all
crowded to overflowing. The Continental
and Girard hotels alone accommodated
two thousand guests.
Oregon stands by her colors Election
news from that distant place informs the
country that the election held there last
week resulted in the complete rout of the
Democratic Liberal party. The Repub
lican representatives of both branches of
the Legislature are largely in the major
ity. A Republican United States Sena
tor Las thus been secured.
There is a fierce struggle going on
within the lines of the Democratic party.
The mass of the party dislike Greeley.
They have a deep-seated prejudice
against him ; while the leaders, for poli
cy and expediency's sake, are willing to
take bim. They are bringing all the
discipline in their power to bear on the
party. It is simply a fight between dis
cipline and prejudice. Which will tri

The ring leaders at the Reading Con
vention determined (o put a gag on those
members of the Convention who desired
an expression of the Convention on the
question of the Presidency. They did it
effectually. They passed a resolution at
au early stage of the Convention prohib
iting all discussion on the subject- None
are so ready to denounce the gagging
process, and none so ready to adopt it as
the Democrats.
A Philadelphia thief, on the 7tU inst ,
attempted to tear off a valuable diamond
piu from the shirt front of an Alabama
delegate to the National Convention held
iu that city. The delegate waa too
quick-witlvd for the thief, siezd him by
the writts and called the police, who
hurried bim off to prison, from whence
he was thrust into the Quarter Sessions,
and sent by that court on the lightning
train to piison.
Reprtlleaa Hatlosml Cm?Ui at Phil
One week ago Philadelphia waa
crowded by people from every state and
territory in the Lnion, to witness or
take a part directly in the nomination of
U.S. Grant for President, to wnom
more than any other man the people of
this country owe the rescue of free insti
tutions from the grasp of men who did
not believe in mans capability of self
crnvArnment. The outpouring of the
-
people and the honest, spontaneous en
thusiasm in favor of Grant, baa not been
eqauled, excepting in the case of the la
men ted Lincoln.
It may be said that the campaign was
formally opened on the part of the Ke
publicans at the Wigwam erected by the
ir.rtroi.fr Club on Broad street, above
Amh treet on the evening of the
4th inst. The building was crowded
The platform, the seats, the aisles, every
place within its walls, was densely pack
ed. Five thousand people wete lucre,
eager spectators and participants on the
occasion, and thousands who songht ad
mission were compelled to return to their
homes without as much as even a sight
of the inside of the house. The good
and great champion of American industry,
Henry C. Cary, of Philadelphia, pre
sided. Among the many distinguished men
nf the nation, who were present and
made speeches wtre Senator Nye, Sena
lor Morton, Senator Logan, Governor
Gglesby, of Illinois, Governor Hawley,
Connecticut, Senator W. Ferry, of Mich
igan, and General' Burnside AH of
these distinguished men not only en
dorsed President Grant and paid Lira the
nighest campliments for wisdom and in
tegrity and purity of purpose, but they
also endorsed the Pennsylvania State
ticket, and denounced the doctrine, that
we may loose the State in October and
regain it in November, as a dangerous
doctrine. General Burnside expressed
the belief that he thoroughly knew Gen
eral Hartranft. who for a long time be
longed to his command, a trusted and bon-
ored man. He had placed him nnder
circumstances "through which no man
but one possessing the strictest integrity
could pass without a stain. The pass
ed every ordeal with his manhood un-
sullid, and as a gallant soldier ; and he
indignantly hurled back every imputa
tions a base slander, that General
Hartranft is nut an honest man and a
brave soldier.
On the 5th the Convention assembled
in the Academy of music on Broad street.
Every seat was occupied. More than
three thousand people looked down from
galleries as the delegates at work at
organization on the floor below.
The propitiating care of the Divine
Being was asked for the deliberations in
prayer by tlie Rev- Dr Alexander Reed,
of Philadelphia. While the preparatory
business for permanent organization was
groins on, speeches were made that
heightened the enthusiasm that had all
along characterized the meetings held in
the city.
Fifty-four colored delegates were in
the Convention from the Southern StaUs.
A colored delegate from Arkansas was
loudly called on for a speech. He re
sponded. It was an effort such as si
lenced criticism So also was the speech
delivered by a coloied man from South
Carolina. Gray is the name of the man
from Arkansas, and Elliott is the name
of the man from South Carolina.. Mr
Elliott had not finished his speech when
the Convention was informed by Morton
McMichael, the temporary chairman, that
the committee on permanent organization
were ready to report. 1 be report was
received. It placed Judge Thomas Set
tles, of North Carolina, in the chair as
president, with a full complement of
vice presidents.
The Convention then adjourned to
meet at 10 o'clock on the 6th, to com
plete its work.
Long before the hour of 10 o'clock ar
rived, on the Gth a large crowd of peo
ple stood about the different doors of the
Academy, waiting to be admitted. The
building soon filled after the doors were
opened. Four thousand people in con
vention atid thousands outside testified
to the interest taken in the proceedings
transpiring within.
The Convention was soon bmnght to
business Uuder the gavel of the Presi
dent.
President Grant was nominated and
accepted by every delegation, withont a
dissenting vote. The audience rose en
masse when the nomination was declar
ed. The bands played and men cheered
and women smiled and waved their hand
kerchiefs and fans, and it was a long
time before quiet was restored. Not un
til the President with his gavel brought
the convention to order.
The vote for Vice President was then
takeu. On the call of the ballot the
votes of the Stales were all cast for Wil
son and Colfax except 66 that were scat
tering, and so nearly did the two men
just named run even that the change of
the 20 votes of the Virgiuia delegation,
that bad been cat for a Virginian, turned
the majority for Mr Wilson One State
after another followed Virginia in her
declaration, until the chairman of the
Indiana delegation moved to make the
nomination of Mr. Wilson for Vice Pres
ident unanimous. The applause that
followed was loud and long, and thus
ended the nominations.
The resolutions adopted by the Con
vention will be found on our first page
They should be read by every roan. It
will be seen that the woman question
was treated with encouragement.
The colored people ou this day ac
quitted themselves with the same abifitv
that characterized their previous actions.
A rr,an.l ratification meeting on Broad
treet on the evening of the 6th closed
and sealed the nomination ot rresiaent
Grant. The whole people will ratify the
nomination next November.
The Boston Musical Jubilee.
Gilmore'a Musical Jubilee to be held
at Boston, will open on the 17th inst
The chorus will number tweuty thousand
singers. The great organ to be nsod on
that occasion occupies a space of thirty
feet wide by twenty feet deep, the loftiest
pipe extending to a hieght of forty-three
feet. A big drum has arrived in that
city, intended for the Jubilee, which is
twelve feet in diameter and five feet deep
The building erected for the concert is
550 feet long and 3.'0 feet wide The
area of the roof is fonr and a half acres.
Eight thousand gas jets will tnpply it
with light. Two steam fire engines will
be on duty day and night, with steam np
ready for work at a moment's notice.
There has been a strike among the
men employed at the gas works in Phila
delphia. The men demand a reduction
of the hours of labor. They have been
working 12 hours a day with three rests
of 25 minutes each. They also ask for
fifteen per cent, of an increase of pay.
They have been receiving 82 56 to $2 68
per day. The city has been compelled
to nse candles and oil for light, and men
on the streets after dark carried torches.
To be on the street of a large city at
night without light must occasion a feel
ins; of uneasiness and unsafetv. It would
be safer and pleasanter in a deep dark
woods at night.
A Marriage Factory.
For years parties have engaged iu the
business of procuring divorces, but ' not
until recently has an agency been estab
lished for the procurement of husbands
for siugle women and wives for single
men. The following, found in an ex
change, will inform the reader that just
such an agency has been established in
Loudon. Can New York do long with

BfcLUHADE, Feb 7. 1S72.
Gentlemen: In reply to your bon
ored letter I beg to announce that I sev
eral weeks ago was married to Lady Von
1 imoni. My wife is a very excellent
prem, fcid I am .uU MU.kM.-ud. !
therefore, I thank you again As soon
as I shall receive her dowry, I shall
make my thanks more substantial. As
suring you of our highest mutual esteem,
I remain, yours obediently,
Sabartu.
In other cases, however, these swin
dler priut statements which militate
against them, inosmuch as they are ex
posures of persons who, having, it is al
leged, been brought together by the firm,
subsequently refused to pay the commis
sion agreed upon. There is a " Lady
Principal," and correspondence is car
ried ou in all languages. " To remove "
say thu Piincipnl, "all hesitation on the
part of families w ho may desire to sec
their daughters suitably settled in life,
but who are often deterred by feelings of
delicacy from applying to me freely and
openly, I beg to state in t emphatically
that only persons of the strictest purity
in every sense are permitted to avail
themselves of onr meditation, and that
all our cliedts, before they can be re
ceived, are bound to give conclusive evi
dencu in writing of their respectability
aud of the integrity of their intentions ;
so tha, in every respect, the greatest
propriety, the strictest delicacy, and the
most implicit discretion cau be guaran
teed without the least restriction." The
institution, we are further told, is con
stantly receiving flattering proposals from
"gentlemen in the civil and military ser
vices at home vnd abroad, merchants lit
erary men. gentlemen of official positions
of every degree, clergymen, landed pro
prietors, batristers and solicitors. Judges,
Professors, and from the comfortable cili
zens upward to the Baron, the Court,
and the Prince, and these so varied,
that the wishes of every lady of the
higher middle ranks, as well as of the
higher aristocracy, can be perfectly satis
fied with regard to position and means."
several gentlemen are at present open
to the highest bidder
The Monongahela Republican sayi
that on the 7th instant Mr. John Toung,
the mail carrier from Beallsville to Mon
ongahela City, was attacked by a huge
black snake, which he 'was only able to
conquer after a considerable battle. He
first observed the snake stretched along
the limb of an oak reaching across the
road, with its head swinging down, evi
dently waiting for the rider's passage un
derneath, with an intent to drop on him.
Mr Young rode to the side of the way,
when his snakeship seeing the evasiou,
flung itself from the tree at him, and at
tacked both horse and rider. The rider
drew his pistol and firing wounded the
snake ; he then dismounted and procur
ing a rail broke it4ack.

This other day a farmer of East
Hampton, L. I , was dangerously injured
in a novel manner'. He had been taking

impaled on the tines, receiving probably
fatal injuries.
Secretary Bontwell, while at his home

SCHUYLKILL C0U5TT B0S1SCE.
Lere, MMproIat-sat, art a Throat Cat.
Schuylkill county has become some
what famous for sensations, and Silver
Creek has determined to be op to the
times, and sends forth a tale of love, dis
appointment, and revenge that is amuaiug
t mmv the least. For some time paai a
young gentleman and a young lady of
that place, whose names we aou i cnoose
to tell, have been particularly devoted to
each other, and were never so happy as
when in each other's company, lime
wore on, and events ' transpired which
disclosed the fact that the confiding
daughter of Rye had loved "not wisely"
but too well.
Last week it became necessary for the
man to work all day, all night, and all
the following day withont rest or sleep,
and as a matter of course he felt tired,
and felt the want of sleep, but thought he
would pay a visit to his heart's ador
able in the forepart of the evening
While sitting on the lounge next to the
girl he laid bis head on her lap and fell
asleep, but was shortly awakened by a
tickling sensation about his neck, and
awoke suddenly to realize that his lady
love was cut ing bis throat with a pen
knife which Ve bad presented her some
time previous. With the blood spirting
over them both, he demanded to know
why she committed such a rash act,
when she begged of hitn to take the
knife and kill ber, that they might both
die together. This he refused to do, but
set about stopping the flow of blood
from his wouud and seeking medical
aid. He was soon put beyond danger
after which the matter was compromised
by tba two entering into olumo eora
pact which made them husband and
wife The man's wound is healing sat
isfactorily, and we trust the loving pair
will live long to bless the night on which
the crowning "point"' of their tender and
loving courtship was consummated. The
little penknife will be a valuable heir
loom to pass down through succeeding
generations. Miners' Journal.

Everything was washed away, including
houses, barns, and stock. Northeast iu
mates barely escaping with their lives.
Large numbers of stock were drowned.
In the southeast the losses are more
fnees. bridges, culverts, rail
road tracks' and evny thing movable hav
ing been swept away.

LOSS OF LIFE AND GREAT DAMAGE TO
rttoi'ERTY in onto.

wind and raiu passed over this city at 5
o'clock this evening, lasting twenty ruin
utes, and causing much damage to prop
erty, and the loss of several lives.

FURTHER PAiTIClLARS.
Chicago, June 8. Further reports
concerning the great storm of Thursday
night in central Illinois, show that an
immense amount of damage was done in
Peoria, Fulton, Knox and other counties
in that section of the State. The de
struction of bridge, on country roads has
been almost universal. In the city of
Peoria fences and trees were blown down
and cellars filled with water. Every
railroad ont of that city suffered more or
lese, and no trains left yesterday.' The
Chicago, Burlington, and Quiucy Rail
read had about four miles of its track
and many bridges swept away. The
Toledo, Peoria and Wabash road "also
suffered severely, losing one bridge of
one hundred and fifty feet in length.
The town of Hilton is almost entirely
under water. The most singular circum
stance of the storm is the running up
stream of the Illinois river. The im
mense volume of wator that passed iuto
the stream has created a back-water and
there is a strong current- running north
ward. The river last night waa still
rising rapidly, and fears are entertained
of serious damage.
General Howard, who waa sent to

Apaches has found all efforts to concili
ate them futile, and has advised General
Crook to commence vigorous measures
against theni, with a view of subjugating
them.
