The Sotial Impurity.
tlarriii'irrg bus not been compelled to
yufS through the "rdeal of a bunk defal
tion. but the defalcations in. such insti
t'uions have caused the journals of that
c'ty to write on the ehovtccinings in such
ii.stitut.Hns. The Journal writes as fol
lows on that subject :
One is fadilened an I sickened at reve
.i;ioiiS likt that which followed the tith
if a Mr. Mill-", a b.tnk cashier iu NbW
York, who, dying suddenly, is discovered
hive committed suicide, and afier
u m! s an examination of his accounts
with the tiauk over wliich he presided, a
d-.f.ilca'Hn i established of many thou
sands of dcllars. There are so many
eaee of this kind occorriug all over the
oonnfry, that it is time the proper reme
dies are sppliud to crrest the evil. In
the firet place, no bauk cashier can carry
o a series of frauds for any length of
time, for over two .weeks, without the
president aud directors being in some
way accessory to the transactions, or
shamefully nnd recklessly neglecting
their duty, and to that extent criminally
ieponsihle for the wrong. The accounts
f all banking institutions ought to be
overhauled every week by the president
and directors ; its books ought to be open
to inspection at all times, aud directors
ue'ect their duty who do not closely
er.tj, not only the records of the instltu-tio-i,
but the outside as well as the inside
i'.ctu of cashier, teller and clerks. It is
as r,oper to do this as to keep the lime
of n number of men eugaged to labor by
the Jry, or to count the work of these
euiMged bv ''the piece." In auv case of
knit defalcation the disaster could have
btvu averted had the directors performed
their duty. The simple declaration ex
hibits the looecnevs with which business
is occasionally if not too frequently con
ducted in financi'il circles when men
b;mdle other people's money, and when
trusting confidence is carried to iusane
recklessness. These examples must in
s:ilute reforms and command vigilance,
which will surround the banking insti
tutions of the country with the safety
wliicli is necessary to prevent fraud.
OiUcers who feel that they are unJcr
c-nustant surv-ilance the watchfulnes of
i proper regard for the correctness of
business will be saved frotnrime and
fcliame for it is too often the case that
:!:e young, as well as the old, are tempt-i
J to wrong by the fact tint they are not
Made amenable to proper rules and regu
lations. There is still another thought iu Mills'
ca, which is well worthy of copeidera
ri in. It is the social evil of the times,
ihat businecs men who would otherwise
he houfet, are too frequently tempted to
live beyond their means, by the blan
dishmeuts of fashionable wives and
daughters and the reckless extravagance
iiiaintaioing a position in the first circles
t f society. If t!iia does not tempt men
directly to crime, it leaves families, iu
iLu eveut of the di ath of the paternal
bead, to poverty and misery. We fre-.
jur ntly hear of men dying who are sup
jtoaoj to be rich by the manner in which
tiieir families flourished iu society, but
rise estates were bankrupt, with debts
vhich could never be liquidated. It is
to maintain a living like this, that men.
like M.lle become thieves and theu plunge
int' the suicide's grave to hid their
Bhame. The peculiar mental organiza
tion of the majority of women, their
lark of discernment and fondness of plea
sure, deter them fiom reasoning as
t'ley should, that the money they squan
der, swd the splendor in which they re-vfl.-are
paid for by a husband's honor,
uud at last exploded by his self destruc
tion. But of all this, the heartlessnest J
I faehmable felly takes little heed. The
.!,;.,.,. IU : :f
iMuivuaum nvuiiuii tur, a iVf giuitj
and daughters, roll ia luxury at the wa
teriug place or lull ia siinpeiing sloth in
boudoir, while the lnmband and father is
coiniug his soul aud wearing out hi
heait to supply the means of supporting
such a life.
Looking at such facts, we need not
wouder at the insolvency of so many,
enterprising men, aud the crime of so
many financiers. It is not the central
figure of the criminal iu such cases, upon
whom we ehould veut our reproaches,
but upon his surroundings the indiffer
ence of his associates in business, or the
col J exf.ravsg.inc of his family, which
tempted bim to wrong, are really what
deserve not only our condemnation, bat
what will receive finally the sevire 'pun-

TORTURED TO DEATH.
A Horrible Case of Lynching In Ohio.
The Holmes county Republican, pub
lished at Millerstown, Ohio, gives the
particulars of lynching at Rogersville,
which is horrible iu its details. It ap
pears that about two weeks ago that
paper gave an account of the escape of a
man named Jeff. Davis fr.m the 'Voos-
ter juil, where he had been confined for
some offence. It eppears, too, that this
man calling himself Jeff. Davis was ar
rested, convicted aud sentenced three
years to the Pcti'tentiary from this coun
ty, about five years ago, for an attempt'
ed rape on the person of a married to
man, near the town ot Itogersviiie. lie
served his term and returned to the same
locality, making only a short stay.
Since the time of his escape from the
Wooster jail nothing had been heard of
him till Monday, when word was brought
to Millersbur": that ho had been at his
old tricks in Tuscarawas couuty. It
seems that one day last week, ha had
gone to the house of some man, a few
oil'es from K ijrersviile, and, tiiiutng no
at home except two little girls, tied the
younger one aud outraged the person of
the older sifter, about uiue years of age.
When the father of the girls returned
home, nrnl found out the situation of
affairs, he, in company with neighbors,
started after the wretch, and on Satur
day about noon, or a littla after, found
him a short distance south of Xewcom-
erstown in bed at ths house of some one
whose name we did not learu, pretending
to be sick. They brought bim back to
Itogersviiie, aud intended to try him be
fore a Justice of the Teare. lie was
first taken to the school house, where the
trial was to be bald.
While arranging preliminaries, and
waning lor witnesses to arrive, senje one,
whose wife Jeff Davis had insulted some
time ago, arked him why he had gone to
his house and insulted his wife iu the
manner he did. Jeff. Davis answered
that it was uono of his business ; that he
would go where he pleased and do as he
pleased. The man knocked him down
immediately, and some other one struck
him with a poker, and ia a moment all
was ia confusion aud darkness, the light
having been put out.
The crimitial managed to creep nnder
the Seats, aud get away from them, so
tliit they had to light np again in order
to find him. When they did, they drag
ged him out into the street, and while do
ing so three shots were fired at him, some
of which hit him. They then took him
ontsiue me town, ana Lang mm up to a
tree and put four more shots into his
body. He was left hanging there, but
some one during the night had taken him
down and hauled his body about a half
mile and threw it over into Holmes coun
ty, where the body was found on Mon
day morning.
While taking bim to the tree he was
sensible, and begged them to let him live
a little longer. In taking him to be hung
they dragged him from the school house
to the tree feet foremost. The scene was
one most brutal ia the extreme. The
parties who did this act cannot be iden
tified, as it was a dark night and raiuing.
The little girl that he injured is lying
very low, but it is thought she will re
cover. A Curious Tains of Jews is Hi.n
dostan. In the city of Cochin, Hin
dostan, says the Jewish Times, live some
2000 colored Israelites, whose skin is
not quite so dark as that of the genuine
Ethiopian. They are Jews in every
sense, worship the God of their fathers,
the only true Jehovah, and are intellec
tually the superiors of the white inhabi
tants of the place. According to their
own account their origin is as follows .
The conquest of a portion of the East
Indies by the Europeans opened to com
merce a wide field, and attracted a mul
titude of speculators from all parts of
the world. Among, these were many
young Israelites from Bagdad, Bassorah
and Yemen, who came to make their for
tunes iu the new LlJorado. After tbey
had settled down they purchased from
the negroes black female slaves, many of
whom were afterward converted and then
married by their masters. It is from
these marriage tnat the present race
descends. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts
and law tables, written on parchment,
have been found among the Cochin Jews.
Ex.
The New York World, in an article
on the extravagance of the times, Bays :
"The difficulty about this and so many
other matters in this free country is that
we all want to be equal now-a-days, al
though we are dreadfully unequal in
purse. 'When I diue with a man with
16,000 a year,' raid a millionaire, 'be
give me just the same dinner as when I
dine with one who has 860,000 a year.
thongh how he manages it I don't know." 1

The sherlff ef KortaamtxrUnil Serving
Writs of flectuenU
The excitement created a few months
ago about the possession of valuable coal
lands ia Schuylkill and Columbia coun
ties has been renewed. A correspondent
of the Carbon Democrat, writing from
Shamokin, under date of July 23, says
The Sheriff of Northumberland county
has been busy in serving some eighteen
writs of ejectment, covering 8,000 acres
of coal lands of immense value, being
part of 10,300 acres lying partly in
Schuylkill and Columbia counties, and
supposed to be worth some $20,000,000,
The suits are commenced by Hon. Fran
cis Jordau, of Uarrisburg, who holds
these lands in trust for parties living in
New York, aud is interested also, as ad
ministrator of the late Governor Geary
The deeds were recorded here in April
last.
The plaintiff claims to hold direct
from the Commonwealth, having paid for
these lands, and that the title ha never
been lost to them. The Philadelphia
aud Iteadirtjr Railroad Company claim
these lands by tax title, and also by
what is known as the Grant titk, com
mencing over twenty years atter the
Morris title. The plaintiff alleges that
the tax title is good for nothing, and that
the Supreme Court has already declared
the Grant title to be a fraud. The rail
road company recorded a mortgage to
the Fidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe
Deposit Company, of Philadelphia, in
trust for the benefit of British capitalists
iu this country, July 7th, 1S71, for S25,
000.000 Mr. Jordaa, with Judge Ship
man, made a survey of these lands iu
May last, and caused several dwellings
to be erected and leased. The railroad
company sent a large body of men, who
surrounded, upset aud burned up the
houses aud took forcible possession, crea
ting quite an excitement.
UTAH.
The Complaint of Brifrham YonnsV Sev
enteenth mre An inside iew or Fo
lygamy.
Salt Lakh, July 30. The papers in
the case of Anna Eliza Webb Young,
praying for a divorce from Brigham
Young, were personally served yester
day. The Prophet seemed undisturbed,
and passed the documents to his Secre
tary. The following are the main points
of the complaint : The plaintiff avers
that she is the wife of the defendant ;
was married in April, 1S63 ; had two
children by a former marriage. ; has no j
personal property or means of living ;
for one year ftfter her marriage the de
fendant lived with her ; since he has al
most entirsly deserted her. The defen
dant sent her and tUe children to live on
a farm four miles from Salt Lake, where
she had as the only companion her moth
er ; bad to go manual work, dressing
coarsely, faring badly. The defendant
visited her very occasionally 1 never re
mained over half an hour ; treated her
with contempt and score, and exacting
the- earnings of the farm, aud in the Fall
of 1S72. by direction of the defendaut,
the plaintiff took up her residence in Salt
Lake City, where she has been compell
ed to leave from the want of support and
fear of violence from the defendant ; has
called upon the defendant frequently,
but has been refused ; is in feeble health
and under medical treatment; has been
obligad to sell furniture to meet her cur
rent expenses. She sues for divorce on
account of neglect and bad treatment.
She states her husband has an income of
$40,000 per month, and prays for law
yers' fees of S20.000. SG.000 of which
are to be paid down as a preliminary fee
and the balance on the termination of
the snit, she meanwhile to receive 10,
000 per month for support. She finally
prays that the turn of $20,000 be set
aside from the defendant's estate and
paid to her as alimony. The reply ia set
for August 5th. Judge Emerson will
probably hold the Court.
Stealing Cattle bt the Whole
sale On Monday evening last an in
dividual who is well known in this com
munuy visited tbe residences ot a num
ber of farmers in Sinking and Scotch
valleys, and drove - therefrom thirteen
head of cattle. The thief passed through
Altoona with his Btolen property, and on
Tuesday momiug drove . them over the
plank road tfi Ilollidaysburg, where he
disposed of the entire lot to a gentleman
named McCahan. Among tbe farmers
who lost stock we note the names of D.
Crawford, who had four head stolen ;
Jonathan Slippey, five head ; Joseph
Slippey, three head ; and Angus Stew
art, one head, some of whom have al
ready claimed and driven their cattle
home. . Mr. McCahan purchased a lot of
cattle from the same individual on the
third of July, which are also supposed
to have been stolen. The thief is well
known in the community, and we expect
to chronicle Lis arrest ere long, aa the
officers are on his track. Altoona Tri

John Hart's little son was bitten by
a copperhead snake some weeks since at

terribly into which the' teeth were driven
around the toe. It hung to him until
dragged away by force, thus lacerating
the toe.

A Tale of aengafcela City.
The Republican gets off the follow
ing : On Saturday last a happy couple
drove to town, attended br two other
happy couples, and seeking bis Honor,
Mayor Holland, the first two were "in
bond of virtuous love together tied."
His name was Bely Mellon, and hers was
Maggie Jobes, and they abide at the
Iron City coal works. The nuptials
over, they sought refreshment at the
City Hotel, and all went merry as the
marriag e bell. I again was happy and
"Desdemona smiled whilst all the world
seemed gay." . Meanwhile a cloud of
dust grew high 'over the piko. as if a
squadron of cavalry drew near, bet only
a "solitary horseman came forth, aud
crosciug tbe bridge in haste he proclaim
ed himself the father of our harciue, and
sought her that bo might forbid the bans.
Meeting Esquire Felix Boyle, be asked
with bated breath "My daughter, oh,
my daughter." "Alas," said Felix, lis
ten to me. m
"I once had a daughter, a lovely girl,
fair as the lily, and red as the rose was
she ; she eloped, she ran away with a
rich man's red headed son; followed
them, but to no purpose tuey were mar
ried tX McKeesport, where I found them,
I consulted a lawyer and he told me it
would cost five thousaud dollars to undo
the deed, and so I forgave them, and
took my childeen home ; aud now I am
happy so I advise you to do." "Not
much' said tbe elder Jobes. "I want
that 'ere girl and I mean to have her.'
Need we tell the rest of this sad story T
Jobes, Sr. went to hotel, compelled Mag
gie to get up behind, on the horse, and
plunging the f -u.-a into his noble steed,

Mellon folowed, sadly, slowly, soberly
singing If you get there before I do,
just tell them I am coming too and I
intend to have my wife again, iu spite
of this sort of kidnapping, old father-in
law. And when they had departed, we
saw them not again. Pittsburg Ga
zette. A man was banged the other day at
San Francisco for murder with a weap
on of a peculiarly dangerous nature
This is a club, formed b f iling an eel
skin with saud. When this instrument
was first brought iuto use the authorities
were greatly puzzled by death, appar
ently from violence, yet no marks could
be found on the body. A burglar was
finally captured with such a club in his
possession. Being questioned, he ex
plained its use. When the victim is
struck, for instance, on the head he drops
insensible and soon dies from congestion
of the brain . Often the skull suffers no
injury from the stroke, and if tbe person
struck recovers sensibility he gradually
relapses iuto a condition of idrocy.
Sometimes a man struck in the body
will be knocked down by the peculiar
force of the blow aJ feel uo immediate
results from it. In a few weeks, how
ever, the flesh will begin to mortify un
der the line of the blow and rot down to
the bone. Ilelier, the celebrated pianist,
is supposed to have met his death in
Mexico from a stroke of this diabolical
weapou.

Miss Jerusha Bryan is the lioness of
Queen's Bow, Pa., just now. She went
out picking huckleberries with a party of
girls, last week and straying further into
the woods than the rest she was attacked
by a huge panther. Her companions,
hearing the beast scream, sought safety
in flight, and Miss Bryan seeing that es
cape was impossible, seised a large pine
knot and gave the animal battle. 8be
kept as cool as she could under tbe rather
trying circumstances, and while the mon
ster tore at her arms and clothing she
busily pounded its head with her club,
and a lucky blow at length stretched it
dead. Her raiment waa torn into shreds,
her face and person badly scratched, but
she walked home and gave a tiinmphant
account of herself. The panther was
six feet and t-n inches long.
