About twelve o'closk last night the

siding about seven miles from Zancs

with three of his children, aged thirteen,
eleven and six. Last evening, Mr. and

they ran to it, but all communicntion
was cut off. The parents could hear
thoir screams. Oue boy aged sixteen
jumped from the second story window

Potato Bugs on tub IIampage.
Says the Emporium Independent: This
section of country is literally over run
with potato bugs, and when one is
killed a dozen seem to come forward to
take its place, and they aro not ouly nu
merous but the way they go into the
potato plants is a horror to thoso who
are fonl of this farinaceous tuber.
Nearly every one you meet seems to
have a romedy that will certainly kill
these pests, but as yet all have proved
a failure. The most successful remedy
wo havo tried thus far, is a solution
of Paris green anl water say in the
proportion of about one-quarter of a
pound of the former to ten quarts of
water, spriukled on the vines with a
wisp broom. The solution is a deadly
poison and if you can coax the bugs to
eat it even in small quantities, it will
causo them to turn up their toes most
beautifully and destroy their taste for
potato vines.

Handsome Present. Masonic Hal
was the scene of a happy affair on
Thursday evening last. Members
of Knapp Commandery. no. 40, K.
T., manifested their knightly apprecia
tion and esteem of their Past Eminent
Commander, Sir C. R. Earley, by pre
senting him with a magnificent silver
service, consisting of tiltiing ico pitcher,
goblets and slop. Sir Knight George
A. Rathbun made the presentation
on behalf of the Si.1 Knights in a
neat and feeling address. Sir Knight
Earley, who was realhj surprised, was too
full for utterance, being unablo to do
more than sincerely thank tho Sir
Knights for this beautiful testimonial of
their fraternal love and admiration.
The servico which it was our privilege to
examine, is one of the handsomest we
have ever seen. It is aaado of Rodger's
best triplo plate, and is of beautiful do
sign. The pitcher is a marvel of beau
ty. Its clean cut, polished exterior sur
face is relieved by elegant floral engrav
ings. A massive goat head, surmoun
ted by a pair of stately horus, serves as
an onamcntul handle, while ever the
spout U au ivory knob, by which the
pitcher is tilted forward It is porcelain
lined, and bears tho following inscrip.
tion upon ono side: "Presented to P.
E. C. Sir Charles R. Earley, by mem
bers of Knapp Commandery, No. 40, K.
T.. Itidgway, Pa., April 23d, 1874."
The goblets and Mop aro of beautiful
design and exquisite finish, though less
elaborately wrought than the pitcher,
altogether, it is a rare testimonial, and
one of which Sir Knight Earley justly
feels proud. Flh Dnpoernt

A clause in the Amendatory Tariff
Bill as it passed tho Houso on Mon.lay
last, seems to be aimed at the evasion
of the stamp duty on bank checks,
which has been pract'eed to a consider
able extent by changing the wording of
a draft so that it becomes a mere receipt
for money paid. The clauso referred to
reads as follows:
"Bank chocks, drafts, ordered or
vouchers for tho payment of any sum of
money drawn upon any bank, banker, or
trust company, to pay a tax of 2 cents."
Tho section seems to have been
drawn with express reference to the
evasion of the stamp duty, which has
become so general as to render tho old
bill quite objectionable.

Thic Bennett's Branch Trouble.
We notice, last week, the deteution
of trains ou this road, by tho laborers.
It appears thut a report had gotten
afloat that the road managers intended
to repudiate all debts contracted pre
vious to May 1st, aud this was probably
the cause of the forced action of the
workmen. The following concerning
the trouble we take from tho Piitttburg
Commercial of a late date:
"A reporter of this paper yesterday
had a conversation with John Scott,
Esq., Presi&Gut of the Allegheny Valley
Railroad Co , aud touod that gentleman
iu no very amiablo temper, owing to ex
aggerated statements and, in sotuu in
stances, palpable misrepresentations
which have appeared in the public press,
relative to tlie iiuuncial diilienliie u f the
company. Iu regard to tho statement
that "u comniiitoe representing the men
employed on the Bennett's Branch" had
waited upon Mr. Scott etc, he stated
emphatically that uo such committee
waited upon him. Two individuals,
who hud ciuiuis against the company,
did call bin:, nnd he guvc them the facts
about the iudedtedness lie told ihein
that claims would Lut likely be bottled
soon; but he never said that "all ilr.bts
contracted prior to the fust of May
would bo repudiated. "The word rpa
diated was not used. All indebtedness
to the fiist ot May will have to be Settled
as the Court may decide. The claims
of the Bennett's ,Biunch ereditors will
stand Ujyon the !aiuo lontiug as these of
other creditors of the company. Mr.
Scott states that he has invariable liiud
to give all creditors a true slutcmcut of
the financial nfi.iirs of the company , so
as to enable theui to judge lor them
selves as to the prospects for settlement.
The running expenses r.iust ol'courso be
paid, as it would otherwise be impossible
to turu anything.
Mr. faeott is uow having prcpurcd a
reliable statement of the indebtedness ol
the company, which will be submitted
to the creditors as soon as it can bo
completed. Owing to tho coufused
state of the accounts, seme time uiut
clapie before the details can bo put in
to proper shape. In the rurautimo, it
will bo wolf for tho creditors not to pay
heed to wild rumors and exaggerated
statements, which arc only calculated to
still further embarrass the company, j
and delay uu equitable settlement.
Tho matter having been carried iuto
the courts, all parties must be content
to abide the process ot the law.
