JONATHAN WELLER, of Summit tp., : Tuciti: are iiiiiny funny men is this world, but nt pt escnt Ohio is entitled to tlie premium. An exchange puts it in this way: A funny man "spoke out" in tlie Ohio Constitutional Conventual the otber day, giving notice, thit lie shall introduce an amendment to the Constitution forbidding horses to 1m; driven on Sunday faster than a walk; specifying the number of times daily in which a husband might kiss his wife ; the number of times the hus band might thresh the young ones ; fixing a bill of fare for the people at breakfast, dinner and sup per, and forbidding the converting of fruit into wine or cider, even for the purpose of making it into vine- A I rUhKal.l Klal mil. Frank Walworth who shot his father in Xew York, Las been tried, convicted, .(sentenced and imprisoned in the ' Penitentiary for life. lie heard the sentence apparently un mored, and'on L'uVay to the prison, jested with the officers having him in charge. Reports from the West show that the late severe storms greatly dam aged the crops in that region, particu larly in Ohio and Indiana. The wheat crop was fully ripe, just ready for harvesting, and suffered badly, and on some of the lowland farms the entire surface soil wab swept away thns irreparably damaging their value. Tim Modoc trials arc in progress, before the Court Martial, or more properly, arc probably, ended by this time. The evidence of Kiddle and wife is definite that Jack shot Gener al Canbt, Shoxcdtx shot Meacham, and that Boston Charley shot Dr. Thomas. The Government has de cided to turn the Lost River murder ers over to the Oregon authorities for trial and punishment General Butler has taken the ground, that if elected Governor of Massachusetts he will rigidly enforce the laws on the Statute books against the sale of liquors in that State. But the temperance people arc not satisfied, because Butler says he lie lie ves a strict enforcement of the laws will lead to their repeal. - llcre is the legitimate results of fanaticism. Laws of such stringency have been enacted, that they cannot be enforced, lest the people rise up and demand their repeal. Wouldn't Massachu setts be better off without a law on the subject, than with one she dare not enforce J She is simply educat ing her people to be law breakers. Just now, the minor Democratic press is in an agony of distress, over an alleged movement to secure a third term for President Grant, and we may reasonably anticipate a revised edition of the "bull pup, whisky and tobacco, fast horse tales, "that were such potent arguments in the last campaign. Of course the office-holders arc at the bottom of the intrigue, and the patronage of the administra tion is the lever, that will be used to again override the wishes of the peo ple. It might strike some folks as just a lectle premature to open a new Presidential campaign nearly four years in advance of an election, but then, what will our Democratic breth ren do at this dull season, for proper editorial topics ? i n .ytc'-'' 1 Now that the Supreme Court . has - SoMBmembrTS: of Congress en tertain an cxagerated idea of their position and what it cnUilsiipon them. For instance, the Hon. JoUN Hancock, of Texas, talks to his in dignant constitucney as follows : "A Representative ought to take his family with him to Washington, and purport them all and himself while there in the highest circles of society, and it takes money to do it. If the people of mv district want a man to represent them ana not ukc his family with him, because of the insufficiency of his salary, and be ex cluded from all the fashionable enter tainments and associations of the Na tional Cnpitol when there, they arc at liberty to get him ! 1 d it l will represent them in any such style. The salary of 1 5,000 was insufficient I think a Representative ought to have $10,000 a year in order to be enabled to represent his people as re spectably as he should." For the last more, the British half century and iron masters have controlled the market in this country, and retard the progress of our home industry iu this particular, and all the while we have a political school, and statesnicn.aud journalists advoca ting free tradc.aud denouncing the ef fort to protect our own manufactu rers. Despite the efforts of these free traders, a moderate amount of protection has been afforded the iron interests of the couutr', and at last the results arc beginning to dawn ; partly because of our persistent ef forts, and partly because of the de creasing coal production in England, The approaching change is thus pith ily stated by the Germanluxrn Tele grajJi: '-England, having imported some of our coal, may before long, try some cf our iron! The next thing to this is a Canadian, who has heretofore purchased his iron in Eng land, has given notice to stop the im portation; as he can purchase on bet ter terms in the United States, and has followed this up by ordering thir teen hundred tons from Buffalo par ties. 1 his looks as though the tables were beginning to turn. The next part of the turning mav be the levy ing of a "smart" duty on American iron in Britist ports." A hm Fate. Ta rutins at Xiag-ara the Foarlb Ead of ma Eltpfwal. reversed the decision of the court lc low, and decided that George O Evans, is liable under the State laws as a public officer, to account for and pay over the monies ho collected from the Federal Government, and divided between himself and pals, and as they undoubtedly owe the State not less than $150,000 from the fund received from him, it is clearly the duty of the State authorities to vigorously pursue the case, and either compel a payment of the money into the State Treasury, or have tho de faulters criminally convicted, and sent to the penitentiary. We bojc and believe that vigorous measures will elicit the truth of the plot, and lead to the exposure of the knaves who undoubtedly shared the plunder with Evans. Mrs. Avert D. Tutxam, whose husband was murdered on a street car in Xew York, year or two since, by Foster, who was hung a short time go, lately recovered $5,000 from the passenger railroad company, on whose line her husband was killed. The ground on which the claim was based was that the conductor refused to interfere when her husband begged for protection A new trial was applied for.hnt the Supreme Court decided not to grant it This decision, we learn from the Pittsburgh papers, has induced the bringing or an action against the PitUbargh t Connell.ville Railroad Conpany for damages sustained an der tbs following circumstances : It seems that during last winter Mr. J. Pillow, a carpenter and con tractor of that chj, was riding over the Moant Pleasant and Broad ford Branch RatJrokdTVliTcli is operated by the Connellsville Railroad Compa ny, and a meloe occurred between an Irishman and a negro, when the Celt threw pop bottle at the African, the missile striking him on tho head, but glancing off without doing much inju ry there and kaockiujut Pillow's eye. Mr. Pillow proposes to bring an action, as we learn, to recover $10,- 000 damages for the loss of the eye. II tho courts of this State decide that railroad companies are liable in cases of this kind, when through the suddenness of the assault official in terference and protection was pre cluded, tho companies will Lave to abandon the carriage of passengers, or provide each train "Trtth an armed force, sufficient to over awe all despe radoes who may elect to travel in their conveyances, and from which they cannot legally exclude them. An account has already Iiecn fur nished by telegraph of the boat con taining five persons which were ear ned over ingara t alls on the r ourth of Julr. all the occupants being drowned. Thev consisted of two married couples and a bov. One of tho couples was from near Cloveland, John Elliott Emerson and Margaret Rollinston, who had cloned a few days before. The Cleveland Herald furnishes the sad story as follows : the young man was about nineteen years of age, and hisIaicw perhaps a year younger, lhe Kollinston family came to this city from Canada a littlo more than a year ago and soon after went to Euclid, where they were employed upon the farm of Mr Hunt An intimacy sprang up between Miss Rolliiistou and young Emerson, which resulted in their engagement to be married. ; It is understood that his friends opposed the match on account of the youth of both parties, and for other reasons known to themselves. The amatory pair therefore laid their plans for an elopement. The tale we arc telling is not whol ly a romantic and affecting one of "true love," rrusbed and trampled un der foot by flinty-hearted parents, of flight for all that seemed worth living for, and of death in each other's arms, amidst the roar of the mighty cataract. Part of these sensational features belong to the case, but the unpleasant fact is also to be added, that John broke otten a trunk and stole five hundred dollars of his fath er's money, to give himself a "lift" in the world with his voung bride. The parties left home on Monday of last week, Emerson taking, at Eu clid station, a train for Buffalo, on the Lake Shore Railroad. Miss Roll inston joining him at Willonghbv. It has been ascertained they went to Buffalo, and either there or in Can ada procured a marriage license, though it is understood they had not yet been married when tbev embark ed for the fatal trip. Miss Rolliston had an aunt living near tlie Falis, in Canada, and the couple had been visiting there for a day or two. A young brother of hers was olso stay ing there, and he was lost in the boat that went over the Falls, hav ing accomponied tho party on the ex cursion. When they went upon the river, tor a pleasure ride, they were warned to keep near the shore, and, as they valued ther uves, to keep out of the current Carelessly rowing and float ing along, their boat was impercept ibly drawn into the current, and when they realized their danger it was too le.. .More swiftly each mo ment they were hurried on to the verge of tho cataract and then the fearful plunge came and ended their young lives. DKUMtraaa Fl re. The particulars of the frightful fall and death of Prof. La Mountain, while making a balloon ascension at Ionia, Michigan, on the 4th Inst, are thus described by a correspondent of the Detroit J'rexx: "Among the ma ny advertised attractions of the cele bration of the Fourth by our citizens, was that of the ascension of Prof La Mountain; of Brooklyn, Michigan, in his mammoth air. ship. Several thousand' spectators 'thronged" the public square for hours before the ap pointed time. A heavy squall of wind ncccssarilly delayed the ascen sion for two or three hours, but at the end of that tirao the air became calm. Under direction of the Professor the balloon was got into position, and its inflation of hot air commenced. The canvass oon " nlleaYnncl' loomed np nearly seventy five feet high. The basket was a willow one of asizc suf ficient to hold one person comforta bly. It was attached to the balloon by six or eight long ropes, which were fastened at the top to a round piece of wood some two or three feet in diameter. The rojies were in no manner fastened together lietwecu the top and the basket. As each piece was one hundred feet long, it seemed even to the inexperienced eye, that there should have liecn some webbing or network, at least, over the bog or bulge of the canvass. Tho fear was generally expressed that somo accident might occur by the can vass slipping through between the rones. It was also noticed mat the ropes were unevenly distributed three or four being in a comparative cluster, leaving the other strands far apart Nothing was said of the mat ter, as the Professor, who gave lhe whole structure a thorough look be fore taking his seat in the car, made no comment on the fact, and it was thought that his experience was suffi. cient tor tho occasion. Everything being in readiness, the words "let her go" were given, and the air-ship dart ed up with great rapidity, while the aeronaut waved his hat to the unea sy multitude, who almosfbreathless ly watched his flight Immediately upon leaving the ground the mouth of the canvass began to flap aliout with great violence. When fully a half mile from tho earth, and when the whole structure looked no larger than a hogshod, the balloon slipped between the ropes and was instantly inverted. The car and its occupant dropped like a shot, and when the ropes were pulled taut the round piece of wood was torn from the can vass. With the most tcrriflic velocity the unfortunate man descended cling ing to the basket With all the in tensity of life, with but one chance, he strove to raise the basket above him, evidently hoping to use it as a parachute, lie succeeded" in his oli- ject, but when about one hundred feet high, be loosened Ins hold, folded his hands and arms before his face, and his feet struck the ground with a dull, hcavv thud. Then ensued a panic and uproar in tho crowd that was in describable. omen fainted, men wept, and to add to the confusion, the canvas came llvinar over the crowd like some fcnge bird."" Sonic one cried to get out of its way, as it would fall with crushing force. The cry was taken up, ond a general rush was made for safety, in which many were more or less injured. La Mountain was crushed into a literal pulp. Not a sign of motion or life was visible when he was reached. Medical examination disclosed the fact that hardlv a whole bone was left Many were ground and splin tered to powder. His jaws fell upon his arms and were pulverized, lhe blood spurted from his mouth and ears. Where he struck there was an indenture, made in hard gravel ground five or six inches deep. The corpse was laid out and placed in the public square, where it was viewed bv thousands durinjr the afternoon His remains are properly cared for and will be sent to his home to-day.

Another fearful storm visited portions of Indi ana and Illinois night before last Wind, rain and lightning played hav oc in the vicinity of Eldorado, Mount Carmel, orris City, Ilarrisburg, Olenv, Oden and Carnie, Illinois, at Martinville, Patoka, Fort Branch, Lvansvillc, nnd other places in Indi ana. 1 he accounts iurnisneu show that immense destruction has been caused in consequence. In South ern and Central Illinois the country is almost deluged with water. Great damage has been done to wheat, oats and hav, which in the south part of the State, had just been harvested and was still in the field, while in Central Illinois harvesting bad just begun. 1 be grain in South ern Illinois is reported in shock, and in tne interior it is Mown , down so that much will be lost, as it will be impossible to harvest it The wind did great damage at Ev- ansville, blowing away the roofs of houses, cars from the tracks, and de stroying timber, orchards and crops. At Oden, Illinois, it took a tin roof forty by sixty feet off csr.ied it bodi ly one hundred and sixty feet, depos iting Hon tne tract of the Illinois Central Railroad, whence Is was re moved by the aid of a locomotive.

About three o'clock yesterday morning a fire was discovered in the rear of a tailor shop in the Cook Block. Before the en gines arrived the fire gained great headway. The flames spread rapid ly, and enveloped a numln r of build- lags adjoining. - I he following were consumed : Two drug stors, postof fiee, hardware store, blacksmith and wagon shop and three dwelling hous es. Tho loss is from $20,000 to $25, 000, partially covered by insurance. Earthqaake Hhaek la BafXalo. . Norfolk, Va , July 10. George Sands, mate of the United States Navy on duty on board the United States receiving shin New Hamp shire at the Navy-Yard, committed suicide to-day by shooting himself through the head with a navy revol ver. The snicklo is bcleived to have been caused by disappointment in love. Deceased was a son of Josh ua R. Sands, Rear Admiral United States Navy. Cincinnati, July 8. The follow ing accounts of dauiases to the crops nnd rmilftinfrQ fin 1 the estimates of loss by tho recent rains, have been received here : In Ohio, throughout Fayette couury, the oats, wheat and corn have been seriously damaged, many trees uprooted, and one barn demolished ; loss estimated at three thousand dollars, besides the crops. In Troy, Miami county, tho Troy Wagon Company lost fifteen new wagons by the building Wing blown down. In Washington county the crops were considerably damaged ; an estimate of the loss cannot be made, the reports not being sufficient ly fnll. In Belmont county several acres of timlicr' were destroyed for a mile around Belmont, and nearly all thofences "blown' down, admitting stock into the grain fields. Wheat and corn we ro also flattened out in Morrill county, in the. vicinity of Cardington. On Thursday and Friday the storm leveled fences and timber in all di rections. Many valuable orchards were ruined. The loss in Franklin county is estimated at fifty to one hundred thousand dollars. Tho bot tom lands were covered with water, destroying the crops. Part of the town of Winchester is under water, compelling somo firms to stop busi ness. In the southern portion of Licking county tho crops are badly damaged. Tho Newark, Somerset and Straitsvillo railroad suffered severely. Twenty-five miles of track was washed out and the bridges de stroyed. In Clinton the grain in shock and that standing iu the fields was alike prostrated, making it neces sary to cut a great part of it by hand. In the southern portion of Green county the wheat crop suffered ; the estimated loss is fifteen to twenty per cent In the other portions of the county the loss is considerably lighter. The weather is still show cry, and unless it clears up soon the wheat crop, which is dead ripe, will bo greatly injured. In Muskingum county, Zanesvillc, Washington, Per ry, Wayne and Knox townships suffer ed the most, the damage to growing crops being not less than ten thou sand dollars, besides a heavy loss to timber. Trains on the Muskingum valley railroad rcsunio trips to-day. In the northern part of Butler county the rain did great damage to the crops. A large lot of timber was also blown down. In Clark county the damage will not-bo great except in extra work and inconvenience in harvest ing the down grain. In Union county the crops were badly damaged throughout, especially along the creeks, where whole fields were de stroyed.' In Pickaway county the crops destroyed and washed away will approximate $100,000. To this mav be added broom corn, within three miles of Circlevillc, $25,000. In Athens county, at Nelsonville, the Hocking river overflowed and in undated the lower portion of the town. A large number of families were compelled to leave their homes and contents and flv for their lives, so sudden and unexpected did the flood come. The crops in the bottom lands arc a total loss. The damage to crops is estimated at $10,000. A great number of families living along the river in the vicinity of Athens were comiielled to move to higher ground. In the eastern part of Indiana severe loss is also reported. In Union county the crops nro damaged ten to fifteen" per cent In Ripley couuty the wheat suffered badly. In Decatur county wheat will yield but a one-fourth crop. In Shelby county two-thirds, and wheat is sprouting very fast. In Dearborn county the loss to the crops will be far up in the thousands. Same report trom Fa yette count-. Corn will yield a three fourths crop. . A "Kauca" Jlaa a Lcff Brake. A Terrible Traselj.

New York, July m, 1S7'5. A pain ful rumor was circulated last even ing to the effect that tho steamship City of Washington, of the Innman line, had been "wrecked at sea, and several lives lost. The news caused a deep sensation lor a time, but tho fei ling of su-q.en.se and anxiety was soon allayed by tlie later announce-, nient that though the' steamer had gone ashore on the Nova Scotia coast, all the passengers, officers, and crew had been saved.

Considerable ex citement and alarm was occasioned last night by tho discovery of fire in a Exhibition building, lhe names were discovered before they had time to gin headway, and were soon extinguished. The tire is believed to be tbe work of an incendiary. A quantity of paper, prepared for the purpose, had been placed in the prin cipal gallery of the building, where the most valuable goods were loca ted, to which the incendiary had ap plied the match, and had there not been prompt action, a most disastrous conflagration would have followed. o clue to the perpetrator. inouest was announced, and ibrec- rcctions given for his removal to To wanda jail, the wildest excitement prevailed. It was now dark. Two or three hundred men surrounded the house in which the prisoner was iruarded. At the suggestion of some one, a vote was taken whether, upon the evidence given, and bearing in mind the facts in relation to tho pris oner's previous behavior, he should suffer death then and there. The vote was almost unanimous in tho af firmative. With this unanimity of feel ing, a rush was made for the door that soon yielded to such resistless force. The guards were thrust aside and the prisoner roughly siezed. A rope was placed around his neck, in which condition he was brought forth viewed by the excited multi tude as a debased murderer. By some it was thought advisable to cast him upon a burning log heap near by. Finally, under the muzzles of scores of revolvers and guns, ho was march ed to the spjt where the murdered girl was found, and there told to re pent ami confess. . Upon an impro vised scaffold, with feet and hands pinioned, the black cap drawn and rope around his neck, he averred his innocence. Could the condition of man appear more forlorn, as the pale glimmer of high moon shed soft light through dense foliage upon the ashy, pallid features of the prisoner the shadow of death seemed hovering near the victim lingered a moment between life aud death, searech on this side of the shores of eternity. In this solemn stillness of death, in darkness, in time of awful suspense, the silence was broken, a voice tvas heard : "Mj countrymen, no doubt in our minds the wretch is guilty, but we have no sworn proof, our evidence is only circumstantial ; let the law take its course." Whereupon the prisoner, so suddenly snatched from the opening grave, was quickly trans ferred to the proper officers and at midnight conveyed to the Towanda jail, where he now awaits trial, lin mors arc a float that some other per son is suspected how this is your correspondent cannot state. Who ever it may be it is to be hoped that the foul iiiurdcrcY'iuay be brought to swift and retributive justice. FlTe Men Mortally Wonndrd by a e-peratfo. Terrible Tragedy in ISrlKiiiiu.

At Pio che, Nevada, this afternoon a man named Harrington shot ami mortally wounded five men named Lynch, O'Neal, Schoeneinaker and Sullivan, in a street altercation originating from Harrington's throwing a dog across the street, the animal belong ing to Schoeneinaker. The presence of officers in strong force alone prevented the lynching of I Harrington, who was arrested by Sheriff Travis and deputies . after making a desperate resistance. We quote from the Belgium news papers the following account of a dreadful tragedy that occurred three weeks ago in a little village near Brus sels: A farmer and his wife IiaJ plotted O murder their niece during her sleep, to rob her of $l,S0d francs that she was taking to her sick moth er. In order to foil tiie future search es of the police they, previously to prcpetrating the crime, were engaged in digging a large hole in the garden, so as to bury the body in it, when the young girl, who not being asleep, had heard her terrible sentence, rushed out by tho window and ran to the police station, distant one mile only. But as soon as she was out, the daughter of the wicked farmer, who was not expected home that night, came back, and not .wishing to awa ken anybody in the house, went noiselessly into the bed where her cousin had been laying a few minutes ago. She soon fell asleep, and thus her mother, not being aware of the Providential substitution, owing to the darkness of the night broke her own daughter's head with an axe. This being done, the two were going to the garden, carving the corpse, en veloped in a luadspread, when two geudarms, accompanied by the fugi tive girl, rushed into the house, with lanterns in their hands. At the sight of their niece, whom they thought they had murdered, tho two wretch es took off the covering and found their unfortuneate child killed by their own hands. The man, taking a large butcher's knife plunged it into his breast and fell dead on the ground. As to the woman, who was prevent ed from committing suicide, she be came insane, and is now shut up in a lunatic asylum, wl.are she is expect ed soon to tlie from mental exhaus tion. A more .horrible account has rarely been registered in the annals of crime. Saturday, she went full speed on Gull Rock Shoal. She gave .two light bumps and a tremendous tremor ran through her.- No one had the small est idea where the ship was. After a lapse of half an hour of terrible confusion, the cannon firing, fog horn blowing and women and children shrieking, a sailor cried, "I hear a human voice." A death like eilence followed, and soou two brave men, Cornelius Swanbury and William Ferguson, who had put out from the shore in a small boat, clirnlied up the side of the ship The latter said ho had risen from a sick bed. The work of disembarking immediately com menced under their guidance, with Gov.

UirUaMlle of Railroad 1 raek Drops Ia(o I he JllsNonrl River. CillCAcio, July 0. A dispatch from Lawrence, Kansas, of the 8th, says a half a mile of the Missouri Pacific Railroad track, near Kiekapoo sta tion, dropped into the Missouri river this evening. It sunk out of sight in the flooded stream in one lurch and without any warning. I seems that the river undermined the track with out the knowledge of the railroad men. The water where the track was situated is now forty feet deep. Railroad men say it is the most fear ful rent erer Seen. The escape of the trains was almost miraculous. Bismarck, P. T., July 3 Col. K. I. Baker, Chief iuartermaster to the Yellowstone expedition, has returned to Fort Lincoln with a train of 40 wagons for supplies. He left the ex pedition about 50 miles from Fort Kice. Heavy rain and mud hail compelled slow marches. ' The engin eers ofthe Northern Pacific road, ami a military escort which left Fort Lin coln to join the main command, had suffered from heavy hail-storms. The mules and horses stampeded, brcaning the wagons and entierly de stroying one. Iwo.or three men were badly hurt, and nearly all were beaten and bruised by the heavy hail-stones. The hail was two or three inches in depth on a level, and a foot and a half in drifts. everal young antelopes were killed by the ha;l. The horses and mules were afterward recovered. The main com mand was SO miles distant, and did not suffer from the hail, and has since joined the enrrlnecrs. The success of expedition will be in nowise affected by the storm. Prof. Allen, the zo ologist, has already made extensive collections of birds and flowers. He has found the nevt and eggs of the Missouri skylark, never before found, and also those ofthe large bunting, a rare bird. The expedition now ex pects to reach the Yellowstone River' by the 1st of August. Monday from the ship.
