One jKHind of green copperas, disolved in one quart of water and poured down a water-closet, will effec tually concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. On board ships and steamboats, about hotels aud other public places, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green cop peras, disolved in anything under the bed, will render a hospital or other place for sick free from unpleasant smells. In fish-markets, slaughter houses, sinks and wherever there are offensive gosses, dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about and in a few days the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about the house and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dis solved copperas in au open vessel near the place where the nuisance is and it will purify the atmosphere.

Haying has commenced and Jeff Brown has the bo crop,- he snys he cut four tons to the acre on land ,iln(i,..i,cui mowed twice a your, for six years. Can anybody beat that ? The fourth passed off very pleasantly, a fine display of bunting, fire crackers, squib, and fun and frolics were the order of the day with a dance in the evening at the Wilcox House, and a supper such us Patcrson always gets up which is as much as to say one that can't be beat in this county. Picnics are nice things but when they occur on Sunday they do not add very much to the morals of a place. The two fatal accldeuU that occurred here a few days agi naturally brings to mind the many accidental and sudden deaths that we have had at this place in the last ten or fifteen years, and I will give those that most readily come to mind. First in the list was a man frozen to death while intoxicated one Christmas night. An other was frozeu while going through the woods towards Smethport.

John Market was shot while hunting deer in the woods by a lnun named White, Mr. White wus tried for murder and bc qulted, the jury finding accidental shooting.

Louie Walters wus killed by a falling tree while driving logs in the creek. A Swede fell from the trestle works ut the saw mill and wus killed. Two boys living a little out of town were drowned iu the pond at Wilmurth. Thomas Richards shot himself. A man by name of Hoover went out in the woods to hunt deer and has never been heard of since, his gun was found six or eight yeurs af terwards standing against a tree several miles from any house.

Editor : As the nature of my business calls me away irom notne and picking up items by the way my first stopping place of importance is the county seat of Elk Co., Ridgway. After passing a very pleasant with my old friends Gt and Hagerty which are two "Jy Allows well met, if found In go- ir, which mood I foun-1" posseu on to Wilcox -w lvfT- filing as ever ond drtlln8 out the necessaries of me ana Having a good time generally, am again on the fly towards Kane. I found C. V. Gillls at his post dealing out pills and quinine, and always ready to treat, (but not with whisky) his many friends and others iu a gentlemanly manner. I leave this gent reluctantly bul I hope to meet him again, and take my leave on the afternoon train. After leaving Kane my first stopping place of importance is Sheffield a very sensational town of its size especially at this point. After supplying the wants of the inner man at the Williams House, a first class hotel in all its appointments, newly painted and furnished throughout, kept by W. W. Mursh u very ull'abte gentleman of wide proportions who is ready and willing nt ill times to muke his guests feel as if tliey were at home in the science of vhleh he excels. While here I learned of the arrest of two parties, one for hiring a horse and buggy of a Warren gentleman and not paying for its use, and the other for an assnult and battery, the latter more scared than hurt and with but a slight scratch upon his si in, arrested his assailant but, endorsing the papers oy thejustice, who probably was a little mixed of holding open court for six duys on a civil suit, Hie trial did not come off, much to the chagrin of the plaintiff who thought, probably, to make a little capital out of it, und by sticking his nose in other peoples busi ness, would probably liave got a, severe flogging had not some of the railroad employees come to his rescue. The former arrest of horse and buggy was u gent who was formerly tele graph operator ut Sheffield station. The parties 1 understand all reside here und whether by mutual agree ment or accident took the early or af ternoon truin for Warren, of course heir shopping wus vuried und long be fore it was wdone, and the accommoda tion being on time they were left und upon the street theymet by accident or otherwise, the ladies of course were anxious to get home, it being Satur day, and the gent of the wire suid he had n horse und buggy and thut they could go along with him, but in the meantime went und hired one of a Mr Williams saying to him thut the lady's husband would pay him for its use, Horse and buggy at once procured und everything supposed to be satisfactory oil' they started for the place of their destination, Sheffield, arriving some time iu the smuil hours of the Subbuth morning. But the husband of the lady not sending the scrip u bill was sei-t notifying him of the transaction of which he was not aware of. Of eourse the mutter was looked into, a warrant was issued for the gent of the wire, he was arrested taken to War ren, tried, found guilty, but money with him just then being rather tight, but plenty .before; leaving town, wus lodged in juil over night, but in the morning the requisite umount being furnished by the gent's father he sees again the wide world before him, (it seemed larger to him than before) und came home to the bosom of his young wife a sadder If not a wiser man. Af ter transacting my business ut Shef field I took the eurly train for Wurren which is the terminintion of my route anil after closing up my unfinished iKirnon oi business I take my leave lor home by same route, und if 1 ever puss mutwuy agum win eenu you items Hoping I have not tresspassed upon your columns i ciose.

SeTeralof the leading events that marked the fiscal year of ths National Government which ended on Saturday last are of an encouraging character, Not withstanding the absence of detailed returns for the latter portion of this period, it is known that the balance of trade in favor of the United States was much larger than ia any previous corresponding year i that there has beeu a large increase in the coinage of the mints and in tne product of the precious metals; that the receipts from internal revenue exceed by several millions of dol lurs those ol the previous year, aud that a very considerable increase in the registry of American vessels, caused in a large degree by the solivily or the Iron-shipbuild ing establishment ou the Delaware, has been reported at the Treasury Department mat tne national creait has also risen rapidly is proven by the fact that after ne gotitttlug a large number of bonds during lueyearwuicn uear 4 per cent, interest a new loan has beeu placed uuou th market, with excellent prospects of success, at the low rate of 4 per cent Forney's From the Mauoh Chunk tI Oaaette, The Death O'uonnor. On the "i Inst., ns we have already noticed Willlan O'Connor wus killed OP the railroad below Lehigh Tan nery. As there lias been an attempt; to magnify this aooident into a Mollie Maguire murder by someof the special correspondents we publish a full ac count of the nfTuir. On the night of the 6th O'Connor who lived at Lehigh Tannery, at tended a dance at White Haven. At the Inquest held by W. F. Steetcr, Esq., the engineer of No. 49 down freight testified that ho saw O'Connor just above the bridge at Bridgeport. When below Hayes Creek the crew found that the train was pulling very hard, and in a few minutes the en gineer stopped the train and said he could pull it no further. One of the brakeman thought a car was off the track. An examination was made by the conductor ami the train hands, and Samuel Wall, one of the brake- man, saw O'Connor jump off one of the cars. It was then found that the brakes on twelve cars had been put on and Wall charged O'Connor with hav ing done it. O'Connor denied it and at once became very abusive. Wall stuck hlni in the face with the back of his hand and was about to knock him down when the engineer told him to desist as O'Connor was drunk. The conductor of the train picked O'Con nor up and told him to go away from the track or he would be killed. When the conductor asked him where he lived, O'Connor said East Maueh Chunk. The former remarked that that was strange as he lived In that town and had not seen him. Pursuing the subject further the conductor asked O'Connor what his name was. This he refused to tell. The night watchman came up and the conductor left O'Connor in his charge with or ders to put hlni In the watch house for fear he would be run over. The train then went on. The watchman's testimony was that he heard the train stop and us itvus something singulur wulked down nnd saw the conductor. He then went up the track and met a man, but he did seemto be drunk. He did not see anybody else but did find a pool of blood near the railroad sill. He knew nothing further. The crew of the second section of No. 50 discovered the body, about seven-eighths of a mile below the point O'Connor wus discovered on the down freight, nt 4J o'clock, or three hours ufterwards. He was lying on the outside rail of the side truck about fifteen feet from the main track on his back, and was quite dead. The chief wound was in the head. The entire scalp was removed and was lying on the back part of the head. A bruise was found on the right leg and a slight cut ou the left leg. The clothes were much torn. The handkerchief watch und hut of the deceased was found icarly twenty ' feet away. The opinion of Dr" Doyle was that O'Con nor was killed by concussion of the brain. It is supposed that he wus struck by the early passenger train which arrives here at 3:40 A. M. The Coroner's jury found that he came to his death by being struck by a passing truin. We understand that the friends of O'Connor have fears that he was foully dealt with, though there is no evidence that such wus the cuse. In any event he was not killed by Mollie Magulrcs. HEAD A CUES THEIR CA USE AXD VU11E. Billious headaches are caused by the blood being overcharged with Car bonaceous matter. It is commonly culled "thick," and "impure." There is too little waste, or effete matter thrown off from the system, compared to the nutriment taken into it. The system may be likened to a stove. Abundance of fuel bus beeu Intro euced, and burning down the drafts become clogged with ashes and cin ders, and the fire burns only feebly It must be cleansed, then the fire will burn again. So with the system when it becomes clogged. It must be cleansed. iSoiue headaches ure nerv ous i e. the nerves are irritated aud weakened. They need a nerve medi cine, but a nerve medicine will not act when the system is clogged. Dr, Fenner's Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic both cleanses the system and builds up the nerves and secures all those diseases by removing the cause. It causes the liver to throw off its bile. It cleanses out the entire Alt mentary Canal and rids it of worms and other vermin thut inhabit an uu healthy stomach and bowels. It completely cleanses and purifies the blood, und at the sumo time strengthens and heals the JStomaeli, Nervous System, Heart, Lungs, Kid neys and all other tissues. I)r. Feu n er can cure any headache in a to iu minutes with his (jioiuen Belief, but the Blood and Liver Heinedy and Nerve Tonic prevents their coming ou ugain by removing the cause.

HOWARU'S MOVEMENTS. 8am Framoibco, July C. A press dispntoh from Portland says the following dispatch litis just been reoeived from 'Lewiston, via' Walla Walla, under date of July 2 1 A courier just in from Kstnia says Colonel Whipplo and his command had an engagement with the Looking Glass band on the Clearwater to-dny. Four Indians were killed and loft on the field. Many others were wounded. The squaws and children took to I lie river and several wore drowned. Fighting was still going on when the oouriar left. The Looking Glass band is estimated by the soouts to number about four hundred. At 8 A, M. a courier arrived, having left Genoral Howard's camp on the night of the iOlh. The troops bad made a crossing that day, and the scouts who had been out in the bills found the Indians to have gone down toward the month of the Salmon river, nnd to be mak ing for Grny's Crossing on the Salmon, thenoe crossing Snake river at the mouth of Grande Rondo. Dispatolies were for warded to Walla Walla so as to apprise persons in the Grande Ronde and Walla Walla valleys, that they may be on the lookout. A private letter states that Ihe body of Lieutenant Theller had been found and several other bodies near by a great umber of empty cartridges,. which gave proof that they sold their lives dearly. Late Saturday some Nez Terces, Palons and Spokemanos and some other northern Indians held a council about ten miles north of Coeur d'Alene Camp, on Hang man's creek, At wliioh the murderers ol Ritchie were present. A nnjorily of the council approved of the killing, and a minority hnd separated from the others and wanted to go back to the reservation, but were afraid to go lest they should be cl acked by the whites. The Coeur d'Alenes offer to send out ten mcu of their number to aocompnny a fow nhite settlers to bring in the murderers of Ritahie. The whites havo no arms to spare to go with the Coeur- d'Alenes and a messenger is in town for arms. 5-20 Bonds. Washington, July 5.

R. C. M'Cobmick, Actiug Secretary. Ko (jUABTEK' A man who looked as dilapidated aa the last rose of summer went into the Frauklin House recently, and with coLfidcnce in human nature and himself depicted in his every movement, strutted to the gentleman present to trot out some of his best brandy. Mr. Barr obeyed the order wilh alacrity. Millionaires in rags are sometimes 10 ne tounu in a mining country, and Barr had learued by ex perieuce never to despise a man because he wears a ragged coat. The stranger poured out and swallowed a glass of that best Reigart brandy. Then he went down into bis pocket for a quarter, as the barkeeper and bystanders supposed ( but he didn't bring up any quarter, but only a piece of a pocket-hand kerchief that looked as if it had spent years about the coal schutes. Wiping his mouth and eyes with the rag he drew a deep sigh and said to Mr. Barr who nas now gating over his epeotacles : "Have you heard about this terrible war in Europe?" "Oh, that's too thin," replied Barr, "hand out a quarter for that brandy, you old sun. "failenoe, patience, my friend," returned the "old stiff,'' can you tell me why I am like the barbarian Turk when be gets a Russian soldier in his power j" "No I can't," snapped Barr who was now getting mad. "Well, I'll tell you.
