Postage question, and earns at ti e
proposition to reduce letter postage to two

osition to require pre payment of postage
on newspapers. There vas attached, how
ever, to the Postal Appropriation bill, the
following clause:
Provided That all laws and—parts-of
laws permitting the transmission by mail
of any free matter Whatever be, and the
same are, hereby repealed from and after
June 30, 1873.
This sweeping clause cuts off free ex
changes, and also the distribution of week
ly papers free in the counties where print
ed. Subscribers to such weeklies will, af
ter, June 30, have to pay postage on their
papers, and editors will be charged with
postage on all the exchanges they receive.
The members of Congress took good
care of themselves, increasing their sala
ries to $7,500 per annual, ostensibly to
compentate fur the loss of the franking
privilege ; but have taken revenge on the
people who asked for reform, by requiring
them to pay postage on their county pa
pers. It is a small business, and the mem
bers concerned will be very apt to hear of
it in future elections.

TITREE larmn CHILDREN PEEWIT.—
A dispatch from Detroit says the house
of Herry Peters, at Grass Point, six miles
from that city, was burned last night while
Peters and his wife were absent. Four
children were in the house. The eldest,
aged 14, escaped, but rau back to the
burning house to moue her younger sis
ters. he seized them and attempted to
carry them out, but was overeome by the
tire and smoke, and was only saved by the
effort of neighbors who were called to the
spot by her screams. All the children but
the oldest perished. and the latter is badly
burned. The tire is supposed to have been
caused by the bursting of a kerosene lamp.

"HOW ARE THE litt . TA.
icin#LLEiv."--To
day there is a ma tt going 'about the streets
of this city, ragged, dirty, penniless, sub
sisting on free lunches and the charities
of gamblers, and has not slept in a bed
fdr months, who, during the war, was one
of the most dashing cavalry officers in the
-Union arm and was .romoted from th
rank of First Lieutenant to full Brigadier
and Brevet Major' General, for brilliant
exploits on the 'field of battle, and who for
a long time had a large and important
command.
He has been here for two or three
months, under an assumed name, being
ashamed to dim the brilliancy of his rec
ord in the service of his country by an
exhibition of his degredation under his
forme honored name. He is generally
very reticent, having little to . do with any
one or talking but little, save when "en
gineering" for a drink, at which he is re
markably successful.
Night before last, while lying helplessly
drunk in the rear part of a Third street
saloon, some men thought tb play a joke
on him by stealing his shirt, and proceed
ed to strip him. Underneath his shirt,
and suspended by a string around his neck
was 'a small canvas bag, which the men
opened and found to contain his commis
sion as brevet Major General, two congrat
latory lotters-,-one-from--Graut-and-o:
from President Lincoln, a photograph of
a little girl and a curl of hair—a "chest
nut shado N" that doubtless one day crept
over the brow of some loved one.
When these things were discovered, even
the half-drunken men Who found them_
felt a respect fet the man's former great
ness, and pity for his fallen condition, and
quietly returned th - e'brig - and contents to
where they found them, and 'replaced the
sleepers_clothes_upon hirn. _ _ Yesterday a
News reporter tried to interview the man
and endeavor to learn something of his
life4n-the past few years, but he declined
to communicate anything. He cried like
a child whetstold how his right name and
former position were ascertained, and with
tears trickling downhis cheeks - said"FO - f
God's sake, sir, don't publish my degra
dation, or my name at lease, if you are
determined-to-say-something about it. It
is enough that I know myself how low I
have become. Will you promise that
much? It will do no good, but will do
my friends a great .deal of harm, as, for
tunately, they think I died in South A
merica, where I went at the close of the
Intemperance and the gaming table, he
said, had wrought his ruin.—Kansas City
News.
HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE. -II is scarce
ly ever within the province of a newspa
per to chronicle a More sickening accident
than that which happened to James Mil
ligan, who was drawn feet foremost thre'
two massive iron rollers only three and a
half inches apart, and which are used in
flattening bars of steel for the plates of
saws. Mr. Milligan was employed as
blacksmith's helper in a steel rolling-mill
at Middletown, N. Y. He was climbing
upon a board /aid across rods over the rol
lers, in order to place in position a wrench
which is used . to regulate the space thro'
which Alm 'mated steel and iron are pass
ed when the board suddenly tipped, caus
ing him to fall. His feet struck upon the
steep side in front of the rollers, which
were revolving at the rate of sixty times
a minute, and were instantly caught be
tween them.
The fellow had only time to utter the
single cry of "Oh" while his body feet
foremost, was being drawn through a space
of only three and a half inches. Hardly
a second had elapsed before the body was
a shapeless mass of flesh, blood and clothes,
presenting, as it did, the most horrible and
sickening sight that eyes could look upon.
It dropped from the rollers a limp and
quivering mass, and when straightened
out covered a space of ground that two
men would occupy. Not a whole or per
fect bone remained in the body, and many
bones wee protruding through the flesh
and clothing at different plaCes. The head
was a fiightful sight to look upon. It
bad gone through the rollers face upward",
and it came out completely flattened and
partially turned. Flowing from thesmash
ed skull were the brains and blood in a
stream sickening to behold. Strong mind
ed, ablebodied men, were horrified and
hardly able to stand and look at the scene,
which really beggars description. His
comrades who witnessed the terrible af
fair were struck dumb with awe, and ren
dered almoqt motionless and as silent as
the corpse before them, except when ques
tioned. The deceased served three years
in the late war, was about 33 years old,
and leaves a wife and two little children
in moderate circumstances.

tainment by the Waterloo School was giv-
en in the M. E. Church at Pikesville on
the (limning of the, 21st ult., consisting
of prologue, declamations, dialogues, es

ted to have been very fine and reflected
great credit on teacher and pupils. The
church was crowded on the occasion.
R&nc STORM.—A. most violent rain
storm occurred on Saturday morning last.
For several hours the rain fell in torrents
flooding the streets with water. The
streams in this vicinity were much swol
len in consequence. Had the storm not
abated about noon there would doubtless
have been a great destruction of property
Along the water courses. •
THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.—In th e
Rouse of Representatives at Harrisburg,
on Saturday last, a supplement to the Lo
cal Option law was favorably reported
from the committee on vice and immoral

VALITAB LE TO BUSINESS MEN.-All
will ackno pledge the advantage of keep
ing a fac-simile of every important letter,
and that by doing so heavy Limes are of
ten prevented and much difficulty avoid
ed. To meet this great want, we would
call the -attention of all concerned, to the
Penn Letter Book, of which C. H. Coon is
ag't. This Book does away with expense
and labor of a Press, thus saving time
and money ; and. brings. this important
feature of business within the leach of
every business man and woman, sincp, the
cost is so inconsiderable that all can a
vail themselves of it. Price of Book and
Ink complete, $2,25, and upwards, ac
cording to size.
THE FlRST.—Tue3day, the first day of
April, was bright, balmy, really the first
spring-like day of the season. There was
an unusual stir on our streets occasioned
by "flittings" to and fro, and by persons
from the country who were drawn in to
arrange for the usual spring payments.—
Owing to the stringency in money mat
ters the disappointments were doubtless
mumerous, and several days must yet e
lapse before all bmiuess engagments can
be satisfactorily adjusted for another 12
months.
Under the "local option law," and in
accordance with the will of•a majority in
the'county. the public bars were closed,
and the occasional glass of "lager," or
something stronger, of necessity had to be
dispensed with,. Of course this new order
of things is an experiment and we have
but to abide the test of time to ascertain
whether its effects will prove salutary or
otherwise, whether t4ie object of the law;
the suppression of the vice of intemper
ance, will be thus attained. The advo
cates of total abstinence are sanguine that
the most happy results will follow. Oth
ers, on the other hand, are of the opinion
that it will rather increase the evil than
abate it. But time, the arbiter of all
things, will tell.
COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.—Espy Miller,
the mail agent on the Southern Pennsyl
vania Railroad, arrested on . 'Wednesday,
the 19th ult., and taken to Philadelphia,
charged with robbing the mail, had a hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Biddle on Monday; and was fully com
mitted for trial.

why the bill should pass." Mr. Mahon
referred to "the strong prejudice in the
public mind in regard to this just claim
of . .the people of his section of the State
for the severe losses sustained during the
war, and hoped there would be a fair con
sideration of the question. The result of
the rebel invasion was the breakilig open
of every store and the taking_of_every_
horse and wagon within the reach of the
enemy. All the property that could be
gathered together by the invading thou..'
sands was carried away and for awhile o
ver a. hundred thousand rebels occupied
the county of Franklin, carrying destruc
tion on all sides. Whilst these people
thus suffered at home, many of them faith
fully were discharging their duty at the
front, and in a single engagement thirty
citizens of Chambersburg laid down' heir
lives on the battle-keld. He referred to

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP.-A cotempo
rary says the cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food ; not that it
is more important, but because it is often
harder to get. The best rest comes from
sound sleep. Of two men or women, oth
erwise equal, the one who sleeps the best.
will be the most moral, healthy, and effi
cient. . Sleep will do much to cure irrita
bility of temper, peevishness, uneasiness .
It will cure insanity. It will build up
and make strong a weary body. It will
do much to cure dyspepsia. It will re
lieve the languor and prostration felt by
consumptives. It will cure hypochondria.
It will cure the blues. It will cure the
headache. It will cure a broken spirit .
It will cure sorrow. Indeed, we might
make a long list of nervous maladies that
sleep will cure. The cure of sleeplessness
however, is 'not so easy, particularly in
those who carry heavy responsibilities.
The habit of sleeping well is one which
if broken up for any length of time, is not
easily regained. Often a severe illness,
treated by powerful drugs, so deranges the
nervous system, that sleep is never sleep—
is never sweet afterward. Or, perhaps,
long-continued watchfulness produces the
same effect - Or hard study, or too little
exercise of the muscular system, or tea and
whisky-drinking, and tobacco-using.. To
break up the habits are required : First,.
a good clean bed. Second, sufficient ex
ercise to produce weariness, and pleasant
occupation. Third, good air, and not too
warm a room. Fourth, freedom from too
much care. Fifth, a clean stomache.—
Sixth, a clear conscience. Seventh, avod
ance of stimulants, and narcotics. For
those who are over-worked, haggard, ner
vous, who pass sleepless 'nights, we com
mend the adoption of such habits us will
secure sleep ; otheiwise life will be short,
and what there is of it, sadly imperfect.

Enrroirt;-• -I trust you will pardon
me for once more troubling you with the
"bell" subject. I fear your readers have
already had a surfeit of the article, in
your columns from time to time, in a se
ries of fulminations from a chameleon cor
respondent who changes his name contin
ually, but his nature, never.
That terrible school house "bell" weighs
upon - his conscience, like Banyan's Pil
grim's pack. His purile efforts at com
position must inspire 'all who read them
with mingled feelings of pity and • con
tempt. His cowardly assault upon your
honorable Board of School Directors de
serves no higher recognition than is .ac
corded to the yelpings of au insignifficant
spaniel.
In a former communication, I gave your
readers a candid statement of my part in
the purchase of that bell, and, also, an
explicit account of the way in which that
inscription came to be cast on it. Had
your correspondent of the viany aliases
any higher purpose in view than to cal
lumniate those gentlemen and, there' y,
gratify a malignant spirit of revenge for
crushed hopes, it is not apparent. My
sole motive in deigning to notice his wild
drivellings is to correct a vile, unmanly
insinuation thrown out in his last two pro
ductions. He professes to have made the
discovery, that the Temperanceville cor
respondent is a myth, or, as he calls him,
a feigned one. It is scarcely worth while
to attempt to force an idea through his
obtuse brain, and I shall not make the
trial. But your readers are intelligent ;
and have an impression that to feign, is to
pretend, to dissimulate, to assume a false
appearance. For instance, a brave knight
one who never resorts to the cowardly
I means of assaulting an enemy—which ie
habitual to a mid-night assassin—a brace
knight never attributes to his foeman any
motive, sentiment:, or principle which is
unworthy, without having some founda
tion for so doing—hence ,for any one to
subscribe himself a brave knight when pen
ning an assertion having no spark of truth
- to — justify it, is improper ; rathei — •
signature be a feigned brave knight=-To
assert or even insinuate that the corres
pondence which has appeared in your pa
per purporting to come from Temperance
ville,- has realy been maufactured nearer
home, or that it has been indited or even
suggested by any authority in or about
Waynesboro', is not alone cowardly and
mean but false and contemptible.
