THURSDAY NOV. 7, 1878.
Between the 28 of September nnd
the Cth of October 13,108 foreigners
arrived In Paris, 8,300 of them were
English, 2,033 Belgians, l,3!H)Germnn8,
1,811 Italians, 845 Americans, 700
Swiss, 807 Spaniards, C71 Russians, 480
Dutch, 400 Austrian.
Statistics of the yellow fever are
being mado up. The total number of
deaths has been about 13,000. In New
Orleans the deaths were a little less
'than 4,C00, the total number of cases a
little more than 13,000. That is, about
30 per cent of the cases were fatal.
Allowing the same proportion through
out the South, tho whole number of
cases must have been about 45,000.
A Chicago wholesale grocery
which, a few years ago, carried sixteen
drummers at an expense of $-10,000 per
annum, and did an almost profitless
business, has abandoned the drummer
system, spends one-fourth their cost
annually in newspaper advertising,
and divides the rest among customers.
As a mnlural result the trade has in
creased tenfold, and tho net profits in
the house in 1877 were ?13 ),000.
The first statement of its affairs by
the Howards' association of New Or
leans says : "The reiterated statement
that the Howard association have a
balance of $25,000 to distribute nfler
the epidemic proves to be absolutely
untrue. We stopped contributions
September 12 bcT.tKe we then taw
that we had ample funds on hand and
in sight to meet any probable and law
ful demands that might be made upon
us. Since that time, from points at
which there was no fever, we have
demands upon us which have carried
us under obligationsof $100,000 beyond
calculations we had made, and which
we could not have anticipated. We
are to day striving hard to meet these
obligations and come out clear of debt.
We have not yet paid the doctors who
have so faithfully served us at home,
though we hope yet to give them some
partial recognition of their services.
We have paid no attention to reported
statements of disappointed individuals.
Ignoring their uuiries, we have chosen
to wait until our published report
shows, as it will, the distribution we
have made of the moneys so generous
ly sent us."
Joseph Hurtiuan five years ago
bought from Thomas Pugh fourteen
acres of Woodland in West Pikeland,
Chester county. When sold by Mr.
Pugh and bought by Mr. Hartman its
value was unknown to either party.
Its hidden treasure would not have
been known to-day but for the burrow
ing of a woodchuek, whose industrious
search for an abiding place far out of
the reach of dogs brought to the surface
pure specimens of graphite. These
were found and submitted to chemists
in Philadelphia, who pronounced the
article above the usual grade. A shaft
was sunk fiftecu feet. The surface
mold continued for five feet, when
graphite was met, and the deeper the
shaft is sunk the more dense the bed
of precious material. Mr. Hartman
was soon solicited by the company
owning the Eagle works, in Upper
Uwchlan, for a lease of the mine,
which they obtained for the term of
fifteen years, at five hundred dollars
per year and fifty cents for every ton
in the rough. The company will soon
put up extensive works. The mine is
thought to cover an area of twelve
acres, and is situated on the rise of the
hill south of Pikeland station, on
Pickering Valley railroad, and about a
mile from Yellow Springs. Through
the properties of Hartman and Benja
min Pennypackcr, which adjoins Mr.
Hartman's, it is thought that the vein
continues.
A Great Apple Crop.
From the New York Sun.
This year's apple crop is now gath
ered, and it is one of the richest the
country has ever had. In some regions
apples are so plenty that they are fed
to pigs, cows aud horses, and the cider
mills are everywhere pressing out
more cider than they can readily dis
pose of. This very palatable and health
ful drink may be bought in the
country at one dollar and one dollar
and a half a barrel, and it ought to be
on draught in the cities at a price
whicli would tempt the poorest custo
mers. There is no need of anybody's
drinking sham cider this year. The
real juice of the apple is plenty enough
for any demand there is likely to be
for it. A splendid apple crop can for
tunately now be disposed of to much
better advantage than formerly. An
extensive European demand ror our
apples has grown up within recent
years, and this autumn we are export
ing more of them than ever before,
though the prices are very low, runn:ng
from 75 cents to 1 02 per barrel, ac
cording to quality, so great is the tup-
ply. Vast quantities of apples ore
regularly shipped to Europe by steam
er. The manifest of one vessel from
this port last week showed that she
carried 4,671 barrels, and all the out
going European steamers are weighted
with them. A Boston bteamer took
8,000 barrels last Wednesday, the larg
est shipment of apples ever made from
that port. Three steamship lines from
Boston- nave engaged to tarry more
than 40,000 barrels, and the export
from New i ork will reach an enor
mous and unprecedented total. If the
fruit is carefully picked and selected
and packed, it reaches Europe in good
condition and brings a fair profit to
the sender. Apples o-ight to bo plenty
and cheap in England this autumn

NEW YORK REPUBLICAN.

BACTCERS DEPART FOR

SWEEPING REPUBLICAN VIC
TORIES IN OTHER STATES
The result of the election on Tues
day last, as far as can be ascertained,
point to largo Republican gains. In
fact a Republican tidal wave seems to
have swept the November States in
the North. As was expected, the
"solid South" still remains solid.
Pennsylvania elects Henry M. Hoyt,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
by from 20,000 to 30,000 majority. In
Massachusetts, Ex-Governor Talbot,
Republican, defeats B F. Butler by
about 20,000. New York State is large
ly Republican, and in New York city
the Tammany ring are beaten out of
their boots.
The 'ew Penitentiary.
At a meeting in Philadelphia, on
Wednesday of last week, the Commis
sion decided to locate tho penitentiary
for the Middle district at Huntingdon.
The structure will be a formidable one
Twenty acres will be enclosed by a
wall thirty-two feet high and eight
feet thick, planted to the depth of ten
feet and provided with a peculiar cop
ing whick will defy attempts at scaling
it with clainp-laddcrs or ropes. The
building will be of stone, one story
in bight radiating from an octagonal
structure in the centre. The cells will
besimilar to those in the new addition
built to the eastern penitentiary under
Michael Cassidy's plans ; they will be
provided with a retiring closet and a
hydrant and leaving sufficient room
for a shoemaker's bench or weavers
loom. The solitary confinement
system will be enforced. At each
corn r on the front will be the houses
of the warden aud assistant warden.
the gate keeper's dwelling being handy
to his station at tho outer entrance.
The citizens of Huntingdon agreed to
furnish the site and all the" necessary
stone and water free of charge. Three
hundred and fifty cells will be finished
before the prison is to be turned over
to the board of inspectors. An engi
neer has been ordered to proceed to
Huntingdon and survey the laud ana
get ready for the grading. The deed
will at once be delivered to the at
torney general for an examination.
The S ate has appropriated $100,000 to
commence the work. The total esti
mated cost is $800,000.
-The Lewistown True Democrat
says on Sunday alternoon last two
young men or New .Lancaster, that
county Solomon Dean, aged about 21
years, aud George Dobson, a yearcr
two older went out hunting, but
neither knew of the other being out
Young Dean laid down alongside of a
fence at a clearing to watch for tur
keys, when Dobson came slipping
along, and seeing Dean mistook him
for a deer and tired. Running to his
fallen game he was horrorstricken to
fiud he had shot a man. The alarm
was given, and Dean was carried to the
house of Joseph Knepp, the blood
spurting from a hole in his back. Dr,
Swigart, of Bannerville, was sent for,
when it was found that the ball had
passed into the right lung, a little be
low the shoulder blade, passing down
ward rnd forward. An examination
was made in lrout, and the ball was
felt lying under the skin, it having
passed directly through the right lung,
Young Dean was yet living on Monday
moruing, but there were no hopes of
his recovery. The agony of Dobson
when he found what he had done was
beyond all description. He begged the
bystanders to take Dean's still loaded
gun and shoot him. His own gun he
smashed to pieces on a rock. Young
Dean had been urged by his father not
to go hunting on Sunday, but he did
not heed. Dobson helped to carry the
wounded man home and then fled, and
has not been seen or heard of since,
Two more fearful warnings In one
against Sunday breaking and careless
shooting.
