March came in like a roaring lion, and we

it has been pronounced the severest of the ,
winter, although we can hardly say that of

and the only comfort we have is in the re
flection that having come in like a lion it
will go out like a lamb, in obedience to the

Donavin's Tennesseeans sang to a large
and delighted audience in the Court House
last Wednesday evening. The company is
composed of four ladies and four gentlemen,
with an organist; all are first-class singers.
They were certainly the most talented and
entertaining troup that has ever visited Som
erset. The novelty of their songs, the
sweetness and power of their voices, the
most jerfect manner in which they render
ed not only their own peculiar music, but
also the great variety ot songs which the;
had on their programme, combined to make
the entertainment a most delightful one.
' IasI Wednesday evening'a string of fifty
two horses and carts, driven by that many
Italians, arrived in Somerset, where they re
mained over night. Tbey came here from
Blair county, where the Collins Brothers
had just finished a large contract on the
Snow Shoe road. The carta were moetly
new, and the horses were large and fine
looking, being sujerior to those generally
used on railroad work. Thursday morning
they were taken out to the Summit and dis
tributed at farm houses in the vicinity until
the buildings in course of construction for
their shelter can be completed. It com
mences to look like business at the Summit
Six or eight car loads of carts, wheelbarrows,
picks, shovels, plows, etc, have been dump
ed there. A dwelling bouse, to be occupied
by one of the bosses is being erected and
several large shanties have already been put
up in the vicinity, while others are in course
of construction. Several hundred Itilians
and Hungarians arrived last week, and large
squads of ftem are coming in almost daily.
Several car loads of Swedes were landed at
the Summit last Friday. They come to
town daily to make parchasea at the stores,
and to visit the poetoftice. They are all
comfortably clad, and teem to be a good
natured, easy-going net of mm. The agent
of the Collins' bas been endeavoring to rent
a dwelling bouse for their occupancy, and a
store-room in town, bat so far bas not suc
ceeded. They intend starting a general
store here at once. They expect to com
mence work on their contract by tbe first of

Every day a half dozen or more dirty
looking tramps perambulate our streets, in
truding their ugly mugs into the bouses of
our citizens importuning them for some
thing to eat. These nomads are becoming
aa intolerable nuisance, and we hope our
Council will take hold of the matter and do
something to relieve our citizens of so much
annoyance. Every tramp caught begging
within the corporate limits should be pat
to work and compiled to break stone for at
least half a day. If this plan were adopted
these worthless creatures would soon learn
of it and in the future they would give
Somerset a wide berth. Respectfully sug
gested to oar borough farthers.
A telegram from Bedford to the Pittsburg
Viijmteh says there is no longer any doubr as
to whether a mammoth hotel will be built
and the Springs mads a resort for the special
uses of aristocratic capitalists of the Van-
derbilt calibre. The result of the proposed
transaction has been announced from head
quarters, and it is that the negotiations are
all off and that the old firm will still carry
on business at the old stand in the old way.
Mr. Roscius Barnes is apparently a heavy
loser by tbe failure to connect. It is more
than a year since lie put up a forfeit of $10,-
000 for tbe option to purchase the projierty
for $230,000, or perhaps a larger sum, in Oc
tober last. Failing in raising sufficient sub
scriptions of shares, the time expired and a
new option was secured at the same price
until February. Now it appears that the
second effort was as complete a failure as
the first.
Mr. J. B. Snyder was made so happy by
the advent of a new boy baby at his house a
few days ago, that he resolved his friends
should rejoice with him. Invitations were
issued to about a hundred of his friends (J.
B. says he wisties there bad been room
enough for double the nuniler) to meet him
at Piatt's Oyster Parlors. The tables were
filled with tbe delicacies of the season, and
while a smile of epicurian satisfaction over
spread the faces of all. Mr. Vogel rose in
place to congratulate tha happy father. As
the youthful cause of the spread is destined
to follow mercantile pursuits, where truth is
always important, it was suggested that he
be christened George Washington, and in
order that the Illustrious example of that
great and good man might be constantly
before him, he was unanimously voted a
hatchet. In addition to the implement of
destruction, his heirship was made the re
cipient of numerous other presents. In the
hearty enjoyment of the occasion Snyder's
guesta wished that his tribe may be as the
sands of the seashore for numbers. The
Hf.kai.d respectfully suggests to the mother
of the cherub that inasmuch as there are
several George Washingtons in this com
community, she name him Fisk, a sugges-

that tbe men will commence their under

There is very little machinery on thegrotind,
but a large supply is expected to arrive in a

it is filled with gold. They will doubt

was refused them by the Contractor, Mr.
Keating. On Saturday last about one hun
dred and eighty refused to return to work.
Mr. Keating at once telegraphed to New
York for laborers, and they are expected to
arrive on Monday or Tuesday. There are

In trimming grape vines it should be re

growth will be the portion to bear next year
and enough of it should be left on tbe vine
for that purpose. The object of trimming

the vines should not be cut too close.

Matthew Arnold says; "I find one thing
in America which impresses me. It is the
tendency of the people to flock to the cities
to seek an education that.' will fit them for
clerical rather than manual labor. This is

the country are more for manual labor than
for such duties as (he people generally are

"I believe I am the richest man in the
world," said William H. Yanderbilt to a re
porter. In England the Duke of Westmin
ster is said to be worth S3J0 OjO.OOO, but it Is
mostly in lands and houses. It does not
yield him 2 per cent. A year from now I
shall be worth more than $200,000,100, and
will have an income equal to 0 per cent, on
that amount." He owns 0.'!0,M0 sha-es of
railway stock, valued at $S8,7o0,000; his
railway bonds amount to $2,857,420; he
holds $70,5SO,O( 0 in Goveniment.and a trifle
of $5,000,000 in ether securities the aggre
gate wealth of this Midas being $201,332,413.
Should he live ten years longer (and he may
live twenty, with an income of twelve mil
lions a year, of which at least ten is careful
ly reinvested, and with his capacity for
making money he will be worth at leart four
bnndred million dollars.
The Philadelphia Pre. says that
Dr. Steckler, of New Jersey, ha been
innmliitintr children with the virus
of scarlet fever taken from horses
with good effect, it is an old story
that carlet fsver orizinated in hors
es-, the firt cases being report' jd in
the royal stables in 1514. Shortly
after that time it appears among
human beings. It is not common
now among horses. Dr. Steckler is
reported to have inoculated young
colts in arder to obtain the cquiie
virus. Of twelve children vaccinated
with th virus all escaped on being
exposed to the disease. If as is sup
posed by many physicians, the germ
of scarlet fever is the same as that of
diphtheria, and ifSteckler's discov
ery averts both, ha will de6erve to
rank as high among the benefac
tors of the race as Jenner himself.
A chapter of Crime.
Jer.iET, March 3. A murderous
assault was made upon Captain
John M'Donald, deputy warden f
the penitentiary here, on Saturday
afternoon. The assassin was the no
torious desperado Frank Kande.
Dcyuty M'Donald, in going hia
rounds, entered the collar shop
where Rande works. As customary,
McDonald stopped at the desk of
Keeper Madden to receive his re
port. While tho deputy was talk
ing with the keeper Kande snapped
his finger at his keeper and raised
his hand, giving tho sign for a re
quest. Madden nodded assent and
resumed conversation with the dep
uty, whose back was tamed toward
Randt. The kseper also turned his
back to Itande to give an order to
another xonviet. Instantly iiande,
who was crossing the room, picked
up a heavy iron poker, three feet
lonjr, and ruihed upon Deputy
M'Donald, striking him on tho Lead
with all his forco, smashing in his
skull. M'Donald dropped senseless.
Rande shouted : "I Lave killed the
at last, and drew a large
knife. Keeper Madden rushed upon
Rande and received a terrible gash
in the arm, but held Rande until
two life convicts, Demolin and Rub,
came to his assistance, and Rande
was hurled violently to the floor.
Hearing the alarm Assistant Dep
uty Warden Garvin and Keeper Ed.
M'Donald. brother of the attacked
deputy, rushi'd in. Convict Roab
was on top 'of Rande when Garvin
ordered him off. Roab bogged to be
allowed to choke him to death.
Rande, rising, staggered toward tho
door and made a quick lunge, grab
bing a knife on tho table, turned
desperately and attacked Deputy
Garvin, who broke a heavy case
over Rand s hesd cutting him badly.
Pulling a revelver Garvin shot
Rande in the side and then caught
the convict by the throat. While
holding him thus keeper M'Donald
drew a revolver, placed the muzzle
at Rand's right ear and tired, when
Rande dropped.
Deputy M'Donald and Rande
were carried to the hospital. An ex
amination showed that M'Donald's
skull had Ueen terribly crushed.
The pieces of skull were removed
and a portion of the brain two inch
es long and one inch wide was left
exposed. He will die. Rande was
unconscious for a long time and it
could not be ascertained how dan
gerously wounded he was. Upon
recovering consciousness Rande
said: "lam Jesus Christ and wa
sent to rid the prison of that cruel
deputy. I think I have done it. I
left a broad trail of blood all the
way to prison when I catne here. 1
have killed nine men ; this makes
my tenth."
Deputy Garvin says the responsi
bility of "M'Donald's death rebts up
on the jury which sent Rande to the
penitentiary instead of hanging him.
During the terrible struggle the con
vicU behaved admirably.
Tbe Liquor War.
Wilkesbarre, March 7. The
Liquor Dealers' Association, at a
meeting last night, agreed not to sell,
hereafter, on Sunday and to observe
the liquor law in every feature.
This is the result of the agitation
now going on here between tho
liquor men and the tempfcratrce peo
ple. The Law and Ordr Society
have caused the arrest of three per
sons for violating the license law
and threaten to follow them up
with more, unless the individuals
engaged in selling liquor without a
license consent to st"p forthwith.
Convicted of Murder.
Indiana, March 9. The trial of
Joseph Sarver was concluded last
night and at ten o'clock this mor
ning the jury returned a verdict of
guilt of murder in the first degree.
The crime for which Sarver has been
convicted was the unprovoked kill
ing of his father at West Lebanon
by shooting last October. He quar
reled with his father about a divis
ion of property and shot him in a
fit of anger. He also badly woun
ded Belle Kelley, a domestic, who
was a witness to tho crime.
Charged with Horse Stealing.
Chicago, March 2. A dispatch to
tho Daily Ahrfrom Sprinp fluid, 111.,
ssys: Rov. Mr. McDonald, who
preached an able and interesting
sermon last night at Auburn, was ar
rested here to-day on a telegram
charging him with the theft of a
horse and a suit of clothes from a
man named Foster to whose house
he went after religious service for
the purpose of spending the night.
The minister, horse and cWhss wore
missing when Foster woke up this
morning. The stolen preperty was
found in McDonald's possession.
Domestic Tragedy.
Delapuse, March 4. Ou Sun
day morning John Glascock, while
in a fit of passion, supposed to have
been caused by jealousy, murdered
his wife and three children. Then,
after setting fire to tbe house, he
went to the woods and shot himself
through the heart. Tho fire in tho
house was extineuisbed before tho
bodies were much damaged. Glas
cock was tbe eon of one of the wealth
iest land owners in this section.
Shocking Suicide.
Reading, Pa., March 10. A ter
rible suicide occurred this morning
at the hous-e of Samuel P.iircv. at
Pott strove. Mrs. Emma Kirklioff,
j Mr. P.urgy 8 daughter, has been hick
! for some time, and for the past few
days :i watch has been constantly
kept over her for fear f he would in
jure herself during the deleriuui at
tack upon her. This morninir the
watcher was tho invalid's husband.
Edward Lirkhoff. Toward daylight
he was overcome by slep, and be
ing suddenly awakened from a doze
discovered his wife standing in the
middle of the room in flames,
Rushing to her aid he finally sue
ceeJed in tearing off the unfortunate
woman's burning night clothes, but
not until she was severely injured
and bis wife burned almost to a
crisp, death resulting in a short time.
While he was trying to put out tho
tire Air. Kirkhon heard his wife re
peat over and over again. "I could
not help it : 1 was told to do it."
Mrs. Kirkhoff ignited her night
clothes by holding one of her garters
in the chimney of the lamp until it
caught fire and then holding it
against the hem of her garments.
Hunted by three Huatlred Men.
Eakersville, N. C, March 8.
Excitement in this section is at fever
heat caused by the pursuit of Ed.
Ray and Waightstill Anderson, the
revenue officers who murdered three
pen in February. The State reward
ollered is SbUU. I lie county and
private rewards swell this amount to
S3.)0. I he murderers get no sym
pathy, as all clusees of tl.e people
are indignant
Liberally Granted.
Umontowx, March 10. Judge
Ingram heard the license applica
tions to-day and granted or contin
ued all those against which no re
monstrances were filed. Opposition
is manifested to a number on the
ground of alleged violation of law
and these are not yet decided. Some
express great surprise at this liberal
granting of licenses. The Judge be
ing unacquainted, he inferred the
licenses were wanted whers no pro
tests were made. The temperance
people will likely learn a lesson
from this.

street fight this evening, growing out
of a difficulty between a white and
a colored man, Frank Langstan,
United States Minister to Hayti.shot
