Make Your Own Returns. La
order has recently been issued by the
commissioner of Iuteroal ltcvenue that

ufacturers, under penalty of dismissal.
The order says: "If there be in your
division a distiller, cigar-maker, tobacco
manufacturer or brewer, who is not com
petent to keep the records and prepare
the reports required by law and regula
tions, he or she must either employ some
one (not an officer) who is competent or
quit the business."
Good Shooting. Prof. D. F. Brown ;
of Brooklyn, N. Y.,who has been spend
ing a few weeks in this section for the
improvement of his health, is the ac
knowledged champion of the world in
penmanship, and at the same time is an
elocutionist of great promise, aa all who
have had the pleasure of hearing him
read, can bear witness; besides all this
he is a good marksman as the following
will show; last Tuesday Mr. Brown made
the following BtriDg of ten shots, with
Mr. Warner's rifle, at rest, at a distance
of forty rods, and the target is sworn to
before Esquire Cummings, by those who
witnessed the feat; general average 12
inches; average distance from centre of
eaoh ball toeentre of mark 1 1-5 inches
This isseoond to no one, excepting Mr.
Warner, for accurate shooting. "
Mil
Drowned. We are informed, that?
Mr. David Leach, was drowned in the
pond at the shingle mill (Wingart's saw
mill), Brady township, on Monday,
August 3d. Mr. Leach was engaged
in phoving logs for making shingles.
The first intimation as to his probable
drowning, was the discovery of his hat
floating upon the water. How the ae.
cident occurred is not known, but it is
supposed he slipped and fell in between
some logs and being unable to extricate
himself, was drowned before his situa
tion was discovered. The water was
let out of the pond, and the body found.
The deceased was between 30 and 40
years of age, and leaves a wife and one
child to mourn his sudden and unexpec
ted death. Raftsman Journal
Hail Storm. The Titusville
Courier of Tuesday, 11th inst., says a
hail btorm passed over that place last
Monday evening, at about six o'clock,
tho most furious and destructive ever
witnessed there. Windows were broken
in all parts of the city, and in seine in
stances every window on the south Bide
of houses was entirely destroyed. All
vegetation was destroyed. The ice
came down in pieces from an inch and
a half to two inches through. The
storm lasted about fifteen minutes.
A dispatch from Spartansburg says a
hail storm passed over that place at
about 5 p. ni , lasting about thirty min
utes, which swept over a tract of
country about two miles wide, destroy
ing everything in the shape of vegeta
tion on its path. Some farmers estimate
their loss as high as one thousand dol
lars. Cattle were running wildly in all
directions. Hail stones were picked up
weighing from oue-balf to two ounces.
The September number of "Peter
son's Magazine," is received, and is
more beautiful than ever. The steel
engravings, the colored fashion plates,
tho illustrative wood-engravings for
fashions and for patterns in embroidery,
crochet, &., ate worth more than 'twice
the price of tho number. The stories,
ton, are first-rate. "Pretty Polly Pem
berton," by Mrs Fannie Hodgson Bur
nett, is the best novelet we have read for
years; we await with interest its conclud
ing chapters; but then ' Peierson" leads
all others in the power and originality
of his stories. Another thing! The
publisher, always ahead, has met the
uew post-office law, requiring postage to
be paid in advance, at once, and has
not waited till next January, when the
law will become compulsory. He offers
to send his magazine to subscribers at
the full price of two dollars, postage
free.aud to clubs, at rates, which, con
sidering that he pays the postage, are
cheaper than car. Write for a speci
men, which will be forwarded gratis, and
either subscribe your two dollars, or get
up a club! Address, Ciiales J. Peter

Terrible Accident. On Saturday
evening last, Mrs. Fagley, wifo of Geo.
Fagley of Pain township, undertook the
task so many have undertaking before
and met with the same terrible fate.
This task was that of filling i lamp
while burning. The oil caught fire and
followed tbe stream into the can which
exploded, throwing the burning flames
all over Mrs. Fagley and her little
daughter aged five years who was with
her. The screams of the little child and
her mother attracted the atte ntion of
Mr. Fagley who was near the bouse and
run to their assistance. When he
reached them their clothes were all in
flames and it was. almost impossible for
him to do anything, but he went to
work at the risk of bis life and by burn,
ing his hands considerably be succeeded
in putting out the flames; but the little
girl had inhaled the fire from which
effects she died before daylight. Had
Mr. Fagley not been about, at tho time,
the house and all its contents would
have been burned. At the time of the
accident there were children play'iLg
near tbe bouse and a little babe in bed
in the house. Up to the time of writ,
ing, (Monday,) Mrs. Fagley is in a very
critical condition and it is feared that
she will not recover. Let this terrible
accident be another warning to the peo
ple not to risk oil too far. Clarion Re-

The Best disinfectant. Tho sea
son has fairly set in when disinfectants
are necessary, and suggestions ot a sani
tary nt.tu.re are in order. Boasted cof
lee, says the Homeopathic World, is one
of the most powerful means not only of
rendering animal and vegetable matter
innocuous, but of actually destroying
them. In proof of this the statement
is made, that a room in which milt, in
an advanced degree of decomposition,
had been kept for some time, was instan
tly deprived of all smell on an open cof.
fee roaster being carried through it,
containing one pound of newly-roasted
coffee; and in another room the effluvium
occasioned by the cleaning ot a cesspool,
so that tbe sulphurated hydrogen and
ammonia could be clearley detected, was
entirley removed on the employment of
three ounces of freshly-burnt coffee.
Refrigerators sometimes get musty from
flesh fowls or fish kept too long in them.
No remedy for purifying such re cepta
cles, so simple as coffee, can be em
ployed. Six men recently caught 1,000 pounds
of trout one day from a Montana stream.
Times So by Turns.
An English Jesuit, Robert Southwell,
wrote the following lines of much merl t,
two centuries and a half ago. The Philo
sophio strain of the pieoe is worthy of ad
miration. The lopped tree in timi may crow again,
Most naked plants renew both fruit and
nowerj
The sorries wight may find relief from pain,
The driest soil suck in some moistening
shower.
Times go by turns, and chances change by
course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.
No sea of fortune doth for ever flow,
She draws her favors to the lowest ebb;
Her tides have equal times to come and go,
Her loom doth weuve the fine and conruets
web.
No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hnp so hard but may in time amend.
Not always fall of leaf, nor even spring;
No endless night, nor j et eternal day;
The saddest birds a season find to sing,
The roughest storm a calm may Boon
allay.
Thus with succeeding terms God tempereth
all,
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by mischance was
lost;
That net that holds no great takes little
fish;
In some things all, in all things none are
crossed;
Few all they need, but none have all they
wish.
Unmingled joys here to no man befall:
Who least, hath some; who most, hath

Danger of Using Shot in Cleans
ing Bottles When shot are placed
in a glass with water carbonate of lead
is at once formed, a portion of it being
noticed as a precipitate in the water,
while another portion attaches itself as
a thin Aim to the sides of the vessel.
This film adheres so firmly to the glass
that it cannot be removed by rinsing
with water alone, an acid being required
to remove it. When shot are used for
cleaning bottles which are afterward
well rinsed out, tho carbonate of lead
suspended in the water will be removed,
but that portion which is attached to
the side of the bottle remains, and is af
terward dissolved by the liquor placed
in the bcttle, if it possesses a sufficient
solvent power. If the shot are only
shaken up with the water for a short
time, it is scarcely possible for the car
bonate of lead to become attached to
the sides of the bottles, but oftimcs the
shot are left in the bottle with the
water for 6ome time. Besides the rins
ing is not always done as carefully as it
shouid be, and the carbonate ot lead
suspended in the water is not all re
moved. Another danger might also
.arise from shot getting lodged in the
narrow creases at the bottom of certain
bottles, when the action ol an acid upon
it would dissolve not only the lead, but
also the arsenic, which is always pres
ent in shot iu sufficient quantity to ren
der the liquid poisonous.

The Balance of Tra he. The latest re
turns of the Bureau of Statistics, says the
Philadelphia litdijcr, enables us to compare
our foreign trade since the panio with the
period immediately preceding. The imports
of foreign merchandise for the tea months
ending April 30. 1874, are $68,237, 222 less
than for corresponding time last year, while
the imports of specie are $0,074,189 larger,
making a net reduction iu the imports of
goods and speoie combined of $61,263,083.
This however, does not correotly represent
the comparative consumption of foreign
goods during the period, for there ha3 been
a reduotion in the amount of goods in w ale
house from $77,646,579 on April 30, 1873,
to $58,476,074 on April 30, 1874. There
has been a reduotion in the consumption of
imported goods of about $100,000,000 dur
ing tho tea months, compared with the
same period of the preceding fiscal year.
It is worthy of note, however, that the
amount of goods in warehouse has been re
duced to an exceptionally low point, which
illustrates the low condition of importers
stocks to which we have repeatedly made
reference as an element to be considered
in estimating the present condition of
trade. The export movement for the ten
months shows that while we have exported
$29,194,859 less speoie than during the
ten months of the previous year, yet we
have shipped $59,285,471 more of produce
and merchandise, making a net increase in
the exports of specie and goods combined of
$30,000,612. This is a very satisfactory
showiug. The fact that we have been able
to reduce our consumption of imported
goods within the ten months by $100,
000,000, and yet inorease our exports of
home products by $30,000,000, shows that
there has been no lack of economy to square
our condition with the effeots of the panio,
and affords strong presumptive evidence
that we are working rapidly toward a
healthier state of business.
Transactions xn Beep. The
latest swindling dodge that has been re
vealed hereabouts is one of selling dried
beef. A week or two ago two men,
calling their names Charleston and
Hamot, came to this city from some
point unknown, ns dealers in dried
meats. It seems that one of the opera
tors went ahead with some good samples
of dried beet and took orders, which
operator number two supplied. As the
packages of meats were put up in nice
canvass sacks, no one suspected that he
was being duped and received his pur
chases supposing them to be all right.
The field of operations for these fellows
was west Eighteenth street, where
several grocers weie duped. The meat
it seems was bad, having become spoiled
in curing. The operations of these men
were speedy, the plan being to go into a
locality solicit orders and then supply
them with all possible expedition.
When the swindled parties inquired
for the fellows it was discovered that
they had folded their tents and quietly
stole away to parts unknown, probably
Corry or Meadville, where they will
doubtless enter into business, in the
same manner that they did here. Eric

None but a physician knows how
much a reliable alterative is needed by
tho people. On all sides of us, in all
communities everywhere, iere are
multitudes who suffer from complaints
that nothing but an alterative cures.
Hence a great many of them have-been
made and put ubroad with the assurance
of being effectual. But tbey fail to ac
complish tho cures they promise, be
cause they have not the intrinsic virtues
they claim. In this Mate of the case,
Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., of Lowell, have
supplied a Compound Extract cf Sarsa
purilla, which proves to be the long-desired
remedy. Its peculiar difference
from other kindred preparations in the
market is that it cures the diseases for
which it is recommended, while they do
not. We are assured of this fact by
more thad one intelligent physiciau in
this neighborhood, nnd have the further
evidence ot our own experience of its
truth. Nashville, Tcnn., Farmer.
Fish Cultue. The culture offish
is extending. Not only do wc send our
aquarium cars to California, but we
trust our tender denizens of tho water
to a sea voyage new and strange, Ger
many sends us and we return her our
shad. We read:
The classic waters of tho "mighty
Khine" are to be denizened with emi
grants from the new World. The
castle of the Lurliberg is to be filled
with visitors from the Hay State. On
Tuesday one hundred thousand newly
hatched shad, from the works in the
charge of the Massachusetts Fish Com
missioners, started on a voyage to the
Old World. On their arrival in Ger
many they are to be placed in the
Rhine. These tiny products of Massa
chusetts wuters and Massachusetts iu
genuity are a present to the German
Government; the latter bearing the ex
pCLse of transportation. Should the ex
periment ot stocking tho Iihine prove
successful, our transutluntio lriends will
have cause to thank the Massachusetts
L'ibh Commissioners; and as in future
years the tinuy children of the New
World disport themselves at the baso of
Hhincfals, around the Mouse Tower
Island, or in the foaming waters of
chaff'hausen, we trust that the bonds
of international friendship will be
strengthened as the gourmand of Father
lurid refreshes himself with Yankee shad
and Rhine wine.
A RIOT IN ARKANSAS. A COLORED
MOb IN POSSESSION OF AUSTIN.
The town of Austin, in Arkansas,
has for two days (sajs a dispatch, dated
Tuesday, August 11(b), been besieged
by a colored mob about oue thousand
strong. On Monday evening and Tues
day morning there was sharp fighting,
the colored men being on both occasions
repulsed with the lots ot several killed
aud wounded. Reinforcements have
been sent from Helena and other places
to the whiles, while tbe colored men
have received accessions from the sur
rounding country. A very serious state
of things existed at last accounts. Tbe
trouble is stated to have originated
three weeks since, when Dr. Smith
was attacked in the streets by a colored
man. lie fired ut the latter but missed
him, and killed a little colored girl
standing by. A eolored mob would
have lynched Smith but for the entrea
ties of the Mayor and Smith's wife. To
avoid danger, Smith voluntarily re
mained in jaH until Friday last when
some friends took him to Hernando.
Tue colored people hearing of his de
parture notified the Mayor that if he
was not brought baok to jail they would
burn tbe town; hence the rioting.
Application has been made to the
Board of Pardons in behalt of Udder
zook and Ambrose E. Lynch, ot Alle
ghany county, for a commutation ot the
death sentences in their respective cases
to imprisonment for lite or for a term of
years. Tbe board determined that tbev
had no power to recommend the Gover
nor to commute a sentence until the
other members of tbe board, provided
for by the new constitution, shall be in
stalled into the office, viz., the Lieuten
ant Governor and the Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, but consented to bear the
parties, in conjunction with the Gover
nor, on October 8, in an argument to
snow cause why death warrants should
not issue in both these cases. As the
final decision in Uddcrzook'a case was
only rendered in July, more time was
asked to prepare their petittioo, and
October b, was fixed. The cases of

The latest demonstration by the au
thorities at Philadelphia, to obtain in
formation about the missing boy Boss,
was an order issued by the Mayor, week
befor last, instructing the police to
search every houso in the city. The
search began on Thursday and ended
on Friday; bnt was without results as to
the boy; but it showed up some things
which people little think exist in
Philadelphia. In ono house in which
forty families make their ill-provided
homes, a woman was found apparently
at tbe point of death. She had barely
strength to move the fan she held in her
hand, and there was not a soul to minis
ter to her wonts. A miserable bed and
scanty furniture mude up her all of
earthly ouuitorts. Of course her wants
were attended to.
Pittsburgh, August 12. The Stand
ard Oil Works and National Refinery,
on the Allegheny lliver, were burned
to-night. At 3 o'elock the lightning
struck au oil tank containing 3.000 bar
rels of oil, setting it on fire. About two
hours after the tank overflowed and the
burning oil commuuicated with the
buildings and tanks in the vicinity, the
fire at once covering a space of an acre
and a half. Amount of oil destroyed,
950 barrels; all the buildings ou the
premises, valued at 812,000; also 12,
000 empty barrels. Tho men on the
premises escaped with difficulty. The
total loss will be about 840,000 to 55,
000 upon which there is an insurance
of about $20,000. At 11 o'clock the
fire was under control aud the other re
fineries adjoining are considered out ol
danger. A tank at the Fairvicw Oil
Works, on the opposite side of tbe river,
was also struck by lightning and 3,000
barrels of oil burned; no insurance.
AN EXCURSION TRAIN COLLIDES WITH

AND TWENTY WOUNDED,
Philadelphia, August 15 An Oc
cident occurred to the excursion train
from Norrislowo Pa., to Long Branch
this morning, near Bristol, on the
branch of the Philadelphia nnd Read

placed switch. Two persons were killed
and seven injured, one dangerously.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, August 15. The ex
cursion party to which the accident oc
curred this morning near Bristol, was
the American Mechanics Sootety, ot
Nonistown, bound for Mew York Hay.
A misplaced switch caused a collision
between the excursion and a coal train.
Two cars ot t lie excursion train were
telescoped. Killed Alexandria Schall.
Norris'.own; Siduey J. Nagle, Plymouth.
lhe wounded were Jeflrey Uhght,John,
Neal, Mr. Cox, Monis Rief, Harry
Godschalk, Allied Meyer, and about
fifteen others. The engineer and fire
man were slightly hurt. Abundaut
medical attendance was promptly ob
tained from Bristol and elsewhere.
There were nearly six hundred passen
gers on ten cars.
Fbanck has been so beaten and wounded
s'.nce the fall o f the Empire that it is an
agreeable novelty to record something on
the other side. Her wheat harvest this
ye.ir has proven so unusally abundant that
instead of having, as in 1863, to import
wheat and flour to the value of $60,000,000,
France will be able to export from fiftoin
to twenty million dollars' worth of grain.
This means not only a good thing for tho
French fanners, but also for bread consum.
ers in England. The Mark La no Express,
the best authority on European crops,
thinks the wheat yield this year will be
above the average, but not so great as to
depress prices.

Drowsed. On Monday, the 8dinst., a
man named David Leech, formerly a resi
dent of Westmoreland county, was drowned
at Wingard's mill, near Luthersburg, Clear
field county. He was engaged at patting
up a Bhingle maohine, and having comple
ted his work, went out into the dam to se
lect a log on which to try the machine, and
from some cause fell between the logs, and
