The Baltimore papers prouounce the
Maryland peach crop a great failure, so
much so that thousands of acres of
peach orchards may be found that will
not average a single peach to the tree.
It is said that there is not a single
orchard on the eastern or westcin shores
that will yield one-fourth of an ordinary
crop. One gentleman who shipped
20,000 boxes last year declares that the
entire yield of his orchard will Dot ex
ceed one bushel. Last year the receipts
at Baltimore by oue lino of steamers
was from 8,000 to 15,000 boxes daily.
Thus far the total receipts are not equal
to the amount delivered in one day last
season.
The saw mill and house of Mr. J T
Rishel, of Brady township, which were
burned on Friday, August 21st, is sup.
posed to have been set ou fire by Mr.
R's little girl. Mr. and Mrs. R were
away from the house at the time and
the fire was discovered by a neighbor
lady who went to visit Mrs. 1L Not
finding her at home she found the little
girl between the old and the new mill,
just as the fire was starting, and only had
time to get her out of the road before
the fire spread over the mill. As there
had been no tire in tho house that day.
and as Mr. Rishel had not been on the
mill at all, the ouly theory is that the
child got a match and started the firo in
play. If the lady had appeared a few
minutes sooner she could have stopped
tho fire. Between three and four
thousand lect ul lumber were burned,
belonging entirely to neighbors, at a
loss of about $3,0)0. Mr. Rishol'a loss
is abouj 85.G0 J. All tho household
goods weie saved, but nothing could be
gotten out of the miil. R'tfUm:tn

An atrocious and blood-thirsty mur
der occurred about four miles uorth ol
Canton, Pa , on tho night of the 28th
ult. A negro named Albeit Brown,
during tho absence of a little girl's par
ents named Grnenleaf, to a Grange
meeting, seized her, carried her up
stairs auu attempted to ravish her per
son, but tailing to accomplish his hel
lish design, murdered her by cutting
her tbrouttfroni ear to ear. The child was
but five years old, and it is said the
negro, Brown, had always seemed fond
of her and delighted in braiding her
curls and listeniug to her childish prat
tle. After committing tho deed the
negro secreted himself along the railroad
and as a freight train approached he
jumped out ot the bushes and deliber
ately wa'ked in front of the engine for
the undoubted purpose of putting an
end to his miserable life, he was struck
by the cow-catcher and thrown off the
track, but not seriously injured, and it
is thought will recover. He is safely
lodged ia tho Towanda jail to await
trial. Renovo Record.
The New York Tribune has been
giving some figures in measuring the
trade of tho past ten months by a
period of the same lens th succeeding
the panic of 1857, and claims to show
how much lighter were tho lasting ef
fects of this later crash. The decrease
in the foreign commodities imported
into the United States has been ouly 11
per cent, from last year, while in 1852
it was 22 per cent over the preceedin
year, in tho grocery business, especi
ally, which is not affected by tho de
volopment of home industries so inucl
as the dry goods trade, the comparison
with 1853 is decidely favorable and in
dicates a much Bounder condition of
things in this Hue than existed sixteen
years ago. The values of exports of do-
mestio production lor the first ten
months of the last three fiscal years are,
respectively $409,473,91)7, S 185,457 ,
353 and $518,051,386, roduccd to a
gold standard. Tho incrcaso of 1874
over tho preceediog years is due to the
great quantities of Indian corn, wheal
and flour required to make good the do
ficieucies ot European crops. As there
is a much larger production in this res
pect this year and a prospectively larger
demand in European markets no rcduo
tifa in the last figures need be fvntioipa
tod, even should tho prices slightly fall
It takes more than one panic to seiiously
embarrass a commorco us strongly
grounded as ours.
Waterl Waterll Watorlll
We have, at different times, called
the attention of the people of Ridgway,
o our facilities for supplying tho village
with water, and have urged upon them
the necessity of somo aotive steps being
taken to secure this much-to-be-desired
end. Again we present the subject,
not that we are going to go into a lengthy
article on details, but we would simply,
give ono reason with tho hope that it
may, bo profited by, viz: Dr. Earley is
now buildiog a stone house, or reser
voir, over the spring, to bo when com
pleted, about six feet wido, seven feet
high, and twelve feet loDg, which will
create a bead sufficient to burst all tho
wooden pump logs, wooden, reservoirs,
and clay pipes that connect the town
with the spring and then the water sup
ply will bo suspended for an iudefinate
time, to the detrement of many of our
citizens. We think no one will doubt
this statement, as now with a head of
not more than eighteen inches, wo arc
continually, repairing breaks, and with
all our trouble going without water for
a great share of the timo. We are in
formed that Dr. Earley, has agreed
to furnish water to eyery house in this
village, and keep the pipes iu repair, if
the citizens will take hold of the matter,
and pay him a reasonable sum for his
trouble, and do person that is acquaint
ed with Dr. Earley, will think for a
moment that tho sum will be anything
but reasonable. We would suggest
that a meeting be called and some
measures be taken at once to secure the
privilege of having fresh, pure water
at our doors. An early action must be
had in order that no protracted delay
may occur from our inability to act.
Why can't a meeting bo held on ncx1
Saturday evening.

Burlington, Sept. 1. Tho election
passed off quietly. This city gives the
licpublicau State ticket uienty-cight
majority and a heavy plurality for the
regular Republican ticket for State
Senators, but elects Smalley (son ot
Uuitcd States Judge Smalley), Demo
crat, as Representative to tho Legisla
ture by eighty-nine minority. This is
tho first time a Democrat has been
elected Representative from Burlington
since 1853. 'i he regular Republican
ticket for county officers is probably
elected in Chittenden county, though a
heavy temperance bolt on a portion of
the ticket.

and the congressional districts.
Rutland. September 1 Returns
como in slowly- The indications arc
that there will bo but a slight falling
off from the Republican majorities ol
1872 on the State ticket. Seveial of
the larger towns in tho States have
elected Democratic town representatives,
which was effected by a coalition of the
rum party with the Democrats. Col

elected by a large majority from the

Si'EyiE Payments. The one pos.
sible and proper manner of resuming
specie payments, according to its way of
thinking, is thus given by the New
York -Bulletin:
Congress must fix a day in November,
December or January ot any jenr, the
earlier the better, after which the legal
tenders shall bo couvcrtable into cold
ou demand at tho Sub-Treasuries at New
York and San Francisco and let all
legal tenders thus redeemed be re
issued in the disbursements ot the
Government or in the purchase of the
5-20 bonds whenever there is a surplus
revenue that can be spared for that
purpose. Accompany this with lree
bankiug, upon deposit of United States
bonds, and we shall have the best circu
lating medium in the world, and never
have either a scarcity or plethora of
coin, which will then be imported or ex
ported in accordance with the best in
terests .of the peoplo of the United
States.
New York, September 2 There was
a buoyant and healthy tone in stocks
yesterday, and the transactions were

reaching sixty thousand shares.
The New York correspondent of a
French newspaper, who had read all the
evidence 8nd statements which came
before tho investigating cemtnittee upon
the BeecheiTiiton scandal wrote the fol
lowing brief summary of tho affair to his
paper: "Three prominent New York
clergymen Rev Messrs Moulton,
Beecher, and Stilton are at present in
volved in a grand quarrel. It seems that
iu the possession of Mr Moulton were
found some love letters which related to
the fact of an improper intimacy between
Mr Stilton and tho wife of Mr Beecher,
Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, the mother
ot Uncle Tom, the blind pianist, and
Mr Stilton accuses Mr Beeoher of having
seduced his daughter Florence, for which
he claims ?50,0(,'0 damages. New York
is greatly excited over the affair."
During tho recent visit to Washing
ton of Senator Chandler, Chairman ol
the Republican National Congressional
Comuiitice, it was ogrced to aid and sup
port the call for a convention of the Re
publicans of tho Southern States, to
meet at Atlanta on the 12th of Octo
ber. It is desired that the most
thoughtful, wiso and fair-minded men
from each Stato be appointed as delega
tes to this convention, the object being
to set forth to the Nation the true con
dition of the South, and show tho needs
and suggest the reforms necessary to
secure tho perlect reconstruction of
those States.
"B. Padd" has found the cure for

census shows only three thousand crimi
nals in a population of over thirty-thiec
million souls. But they have a pretty
effectual way of curing criminals in
Japan, When a man defalcates several
thousand dollars worth, or commits a
iKlux outrage, iustead ol sending
him to prison for twenty years, and
giving him a pardon after serving eight
or ten mouths, they chop off his head,
and this so discouiages the diurnal that
he never repeats the offense; and when
the census man comes around ho is not
