PENNSYLVANIA. The Grave of Jenny Wade. the Heroine of attyabarg To the Editor of The' Press : SIB : Having recently visited the Material Cle• nnetery, where repose the gallantdead who fell st (let tysburg, I casually inquired for the grave in which -Jenny Wade was buried. It was with great dim •oulty that I found the spot— " Where heaves the tart in many a mouldering heap.' Without anything to distinguish her last reitiug place, Jenny Wade sleeps in the grave as she lived, unknown and in humility. Appeals have been made to the people of Gettyaberg and Harrisburg for the purpose of raising funds to erect a monument to the memory of Jenny Wade, but as yet no responses hetes been received which justify the hope that Ibis courageous and kind hearted woman Is to be remem bered by her countrymen or women. In wilting to The Press, my object ii to call the at tention of the ladies of Philadelphia to this subject, and to appeal to them to move in a manner which will secure The creation of a /mil - able monument over the grave of Jenny Wade. The heroine of Ciettys. burg was the fist Northern woman to yield her life a sacrifice to crush rebellion, having fallen amid the carnage of battle, while engaged In acts of good will and cheer for the soldiers of the Union. Is it UOt right, therefore, that the women of the North should commemorate hell When a hero soldier falls, at once a shaft is raised to his memory. Why should not the same honor be extended in perpetuating the memory of a gentle girl, who, in the freshness of youth, and with life's hopes brightest and most beau tiful, passed from earth to heaven, a victim to a ann. diet in which the dearest interests of her country were involved SUSQUEHANNA. SUDDEN MEATUS —The case of Par. Hill's family, in West Chester, where several of the members—in feet neatly all—were taken suddenly sick, is a very distressing one. They recently moved to West Ches. ter, OelMplid a dweliteg whion had been shut up for nearly two years. The house was probably very un fit to be tenanted, although it was whitewashed be fore it was occupied, and the cellar is represented to have been foul. On Monday night of last week, all went U. bed apparently in the usual health; On Tuesday, tour smug oeughters, aged eight, ten, twelve, aid fourteen years, were taken sick ; one died on Wednesday, another on Thursday;'on Thursday they were buried in the same grave,. By this time the mother and another boy were sick— the mother unconscious. The suddenness and viru lance of the disease very naturally created quite a ,hock to the neighbors. On Sunday morning an other of the children died. We understand the other members of the family were moved on Sunday in another house. The family consisted of the mother, lather, and eight children. We give no opinion of the nature Or cause of the malignant disease. The prevalent opinion is that the cause was purely local. The disease is considered, by physicians, malignant typhoid fever; although it is reported by some spotted fever, &c. In ths family of Mr. Paxson, two children died one, a son cf 'seventeen or eighteen; died after twenty-four' hours' indisposition. In this case, it is sato said, local causes promotive of disease were found of a powerful character. The ease of Prancia Windle, of East Brandywine township, Cheater county, was a remarkable one. He was apparently in his usual health on Monday mornig test, and died on the someday, from a ma. lignanT attack somewhat similar to the above. These cues, and some others in Chester county have baffled the medical faculty.—Viltage Record. A - FATAL NBRIINABB.—Oa Sunday evening a young man named John Shoemaker was killed by another named Rouchelsuder, both of Randolph township, under the following circumstances : Rau ehelander had been married on that day, and is the evening a number gathered around his house to en. gage In a "serenade," as is the custom in some corn. munities, composed of aii merrier of hideous noises. In this amusement Shoemaker, as we understand, WAS not engaged, but was inside of the house, being a particular friend of Rouchelander. About eleven o'clock several of the serenaders entered .tha house, Which in incensed Renate/ander that ho aerzegl a stick of firewood and aimed a blow at one of teem, which, being erad.d, struck the deceased upon the head, from the effects of which he died the :Mlle night. Rouelbelanaer was committed to jail on Tuesday.—likadeville Rgmblican. DEATH OP JUDOS TAGOAHT.—The Hon.

Rim AND OUTRAGE.—Henry Shelly, a well•known and respectable industrious colored _man, a white-washer by profession, was employed to 'whitewash and coal tar the femme and some other property of the Memos. Bullock, =attune:unser', at Conshohocken- Mr. Shelly has already had-one eon killed in the Army of the Potomac. He was a servant to a colonel. Mr. S. engaged a house near the Oonshohceken bridge, wherein to live while he was doing the work, a somewhat extensive job. He engaged three other men to assist in the work— Robert Thustin, Joseph Hart, and William Cooper. About half past eleven o'clock, on last Tuesday night, while these men were asleep, the house was -suddenly assailed by a crowd of dissolute young men dressed in the United States uniform, headed, it is said, by a lieutenant. Besides these, there was a crowd of people in citizens' dress, numberingaistY -or seventy, who stood looking on the scene of riot without owing to offer a word, or snake en action s in defence of the four colored men. - The rioters burst into the house; Mr. Shelly sprang from his bed, and, though overpowered, he succeeded in knocking down a number of his assail ants. Be was dreadfully eat on the head. Joseph Hart also defended himself, and was considerably it jured about the head. Thustin rolled himself in a Blanket and stowed himself away in one corner of the house, and escaped observation. Cooper jumped out of a window, and escaped the fury of the assail- SIAN. The house was completely torn inside out, the stove thrown into the road, and the bed and bed ding carried to an iron foundry, about fifty yards distant. The riot lasted about twenty minutes. It ended by the rioters pelting the front of the house with boulders weighing from one to two pounds each, and then discharging the contents of twenty ..or thirty pistols. The house belonged to a Air. Hol lowell, a tailor, residing at Conshohocken. The next morning . Mr. Cooper, who had escaped the night before by Jumping from the window, was going to the cars to come to Philadelphia, when he was mobbed. He ran to several houses for pro tection, but the inmates closed their doors upon him. He finally dashed into s store, and was se. •ereted in the cellar. The mob followed in, but were put off the track by being told that the fugitive had escaped out of the bask way. In the darknera of the night he walked all the way to Philadelphia, as the rioters steadily watched the railroad trains. -Conshohocken is in Montgomery county, and though it contains among its respeetanle residents solid "Union men, yet it has within its borders a most villainous class of Copperheads, who are as igno rant as they are depraved and brutal. If thtt party who made the attack upon these industrious colored men are flatly soldiers, then they must be of that class of cowards who would skulk in the hour of battle, jump the bounty, resist the draft, and commit murder. They should be put in the front ranks as speedily as possible.
