m—Advices from Panama give full de
tails of the recent earthquake which has
almost utterly destroyed the city of San
Salvador, in Central America, and caused
a loss of life which is variously estimated
at from fifty to five hundred souls. The
shocks continued for several days, the peo
ple .fled hi dismay and terror to the hills,
and their homes and the public buildings
fell in ruins to the ground. This is the
eighth time within one hundred and fifty
years that the city has been utterly de
stroyed by earthquakes. But even from
its earliest settlement it has been subject
to these calamities. As far back as 1659
it was thus raided. The last great earth
quake previous to this one occurred in
1854, and then, cis now, there was scarce
ly a building left standing. Situated as
it is in the midst of - a district of active vol
canoes, it can never be safe from such dis
asters. The people are even now prepar
ing to rebuild, but the lessons of experi
ence showing that wooden .structures are
the only ones that Withstand the shocks,
they are proposing to erect a timber city.
THE ENGLIOIf Wl4-iT DEMAND.-It
has been ascertained that the actual con
sumption of wheat in the United kingdom
during the last six months eras larger than
was estimated, while the . supply will be
considerably less, making a difference of
16,000,000 bushels. The Liverpool Cou
rier estimates the quantity of prospective
supplies at 32,000,000 bushels, and adds
that to all present appearances we are now
worse - Off with reference to our probable
Supplies than we were six mouths ago.—
The estimate then formed was carefully
made'on what appeared to be reliable da
ta. It was smaller than some of the esti.
timates put forth at the same time; unfor
tunately it threatens to be in itself too
large. But that our wants , will be met
there is no doubt. They may be of neces
sity somewhat curtailed by higher prices,
but higher prices will bring what is need
ed. The visible supply a wheat in Amer
ca on March 23d, as.published in the
Globe last week, was 7,413.689 bushels a
gainst 9,273,110 bushels as compared with
he same time in 1872. The prospects
of -pint prices will plice in the market
every available bushel of grain.

RIOTING AND BLOODSIIED.-A bloody
riot between the Whites and blacks occur
red at Colfax, Grant parish, Louisiana,
on Sunday the 13th inst. A despatch da
ted April 15 says : The negroes had strong
ly entrenched themselves in the cour t
house, and built breast works three or
four feet high. About noon some one
hundred and fifty men, who had gathered
from the surrounding parishes made an
attack on the breastworks, and a brisk
fight was kept ' up till about three P. M.,
when the works were stormed and captur
.ed, the negroes taking refuge in the court
house, the doors of which were barricaded.
After some further fighting the negroes
threw out a flag of truce and several de
tachments of men advanced on it; when
the were fired on by the besieged party,
wounding several, among wa om were ap
tain Hadot who was shot in the bowels,
and, it is feared, fatally wounded
The whites retreated outside of the
breastworks, and, as the only means of
dislodging the negroes, the court house
was set on fire, and the blacks were shot
as they came from the burning building.
It is reported that nearly one hundred ne
groes-were-killedTand—there-were-none-
be found for miles around.
Of the massacre the Baltimore Ameri
can says : The slaughter of the colored
men at Colfax, Louisiana, becomes more
bloody and savage as the details are
brought to light. The official despatches
published more than confirm the worst
that reported.- It-is-difficult to
conceive of a more outrageous crime than
that of the men who in cold blood butch
ered a hundred negroes.
The causes which led to the massacre
may be briefly detailed. The election in
Louisiana last November resulted in a
double set of returns and a double set of
officials in ever _ 'n the State. The
"Fusion' . or McEnery candidates in Grant
arish ofwhich Colfax is the county seat)
olstitiin - e - d - certificater - of - election: ut-t
Courts of the State decided in favor of tile
Kellog or. Republican candidates through
out, and those in Grant parish took poses
sion of Court House at Colfax. They
were there and in posession in obedience
to and compliance with the mandates of
the highest legal authorities. But the
defeated party, beaten in the Courts and
smarting under defeat, were counseled to
riot and led into rebellion by their lead
ers. The ruffians of Grant, Rapides and
the adjoining parishes organized an army
and attacked the Court House at Colfax
wall the sanguinary results already stat
ed.
The buccaneers who committed the
slaughter ought to be hunted down and
punished If there is power enough in the
land to bring them to justice.
POSTAdE COUNTY PAPERS.—The new
postage law which goes into effect on the
first day of July next, requires the pay-,
ment of postage on all regularly issued
publications sent through the mail. F,ach
subscriber by going to the Postmaster at
the office where be receives his paper on
or before the first of July, can with five
cents prepay the postage on it for the next
three months, or for ten cents six months.'
We would advise this prepayment for not
longer than six months by all residents
in the county, as doubtless the law will.
be modified early in the next session of
Congress, so Mr at least as regards the
circulation of papers in the county where
published. The proviso attached to the
Postoffice Appropriation bill, which abol
ished the free circulation of papers in the
the county where published, was evident
ily what is known in legislative practice
as a "snake," and probably not under
stood by one out of ten members who vo
ted for it. TEN cents will pay the post-.
age to Jan. 1, 1874, when the new Con
gaess will have been in session a month.

columns of the Newville Star. The same,
of course, will apply to subscribers to the
Record in this county.
.There is very little additional news
in relation to the Modoc war. What is
a ppaoent is that, notwithstanding the mil
itary preparations, and the threat that
not one of Captain Jack's band should
live to boast .of the slaughter of General
Canby, the greater number of the Indians
have escaped front the lava beds, and that
the probabilities are rather against their
capture. Some few, including Scar-faced
Charley, have been captured, and their
scalps taken by our Indian allies, but, for
tbe rest they have scattered, and it is fear
ed will wreak their ventreance on the set
tlers in the Shasta Valley. The epizootic
which prevails among the horses in that
region ,adds to the difficulty of pursuing
them. As to tbe mode of their escape,
whether it arose from the insufficient num
ber or inefficient handling of our forces,
or was unavoidable on account of the dif
ficulty of the country, too little is yet
known of the country, to pronounce a de
cided judgment. Certain it is. however,
that Captain Jack has proved himself not
only a good fighter, but an adroit man
muvrer.

OLT SHOPS.—On Friday morning last
we visited the Steam Engine and Boiler
Works of Messrs. Frick & Co. in compa

shown through the different apartments
by Mr. Frick himself. We had not visi
the works for a couple of years, and tho'
aware that the business had increased
very considerably during this lapse of time
we was not prepared for so marked a
change in the establishment, and more
particularly so in reference to quantity
and quality of machinery. In this res
pect Messrs. Frick & Co. are now pre
pared to compete with the large s t estab

Make other arrangements to accommo
date the trade, and this required an in
crease of capital. Accordingly, some of
the more enterprising business men of our
town, knowing the advantage of having
manufacturing ester is • men • 137 - 1. com
munity, associated themselves for the pur
pose of investing an amount of citpital
sufficient to carry on the business to the
extent necessary to supply the demand.
A company was organized in February
last. The number of orders for work
has been gradually increasing, so that it
is now necessary to enlarge and increase
the facilities of the works, both in labor
and machiery, which is being done.
The additional 'new machinery is the
best-and-latest-improved i -among-which is
a Steam Hammer for the smith shop,
which will add greatly to its capacity ;
Lathes for greater range of work and ac-
uracy ; • a omen a
Shaping Machines, &c. When all the
capacity of the works will be increased
about fifty per cent.
The second floor of the main machine
ry building, formerly occupied as a Pa,
tern Room and Wood Shop, is now being
fitted up with machinery for another Fin
ishing. Shop; and when completed will add
one hundred per cent. capacity to the
finishing-department,—A-power-elevator
is being put up for raising and lowering
the work. The arrangements will enable
the works to turn out work ivith more
dispatch. •
We noticed a number of engines, from
five to eighty-horse power, some complet
ed and others only partially so. Since
January last the orders for work, engines
and boilers, amounts to about $30,000.
The'business is not only local, but prin
cipally from abroad, 'Philadelphia being
one of the principal poihts, alsc Reading,
Lancaster, Baltimore, Harrisburg, &c.,
as well as north and south. The present
force is about sixty workmen, and in-
creasing.
We next visited the shops of the Geis
er Manufacturing Company, where the
celebrated Geiser Grain Separator is built,
and was shown around through the ex
tensive establishment by Mr. Daniel Hoo
ver, Secretary and Treasurer of the Com
pany. We was pleased to learn that their
prospects for the coming season are most
encouraging. Of late there has been
quite a lively inquiry for machines, both
through their agents and private purch
asers, besides many flattering letters re
ceived. The Geiser Separator evidently
takes the lead of all competitors. The
Company is now supplied with first class
workmen, and the latest improved ma
chincry adapted to their use, much of
which we noticed particularly and found
it very complete. They are thus enabled
to turn out two machines daily, which
they have been doing for sometime, with
perhaps a little less than sixty workmen.
If it is required their machinery has ca
pacity for more than, double the amount
of work. The Company is now putting
up four different sized machines, from a
three or four-horse to a ten-horse or steam
power, and are amply prepared to supply
the demand, whatever it may be, in their
line.

PERILOIIB SrruATioN.—Alrs. Frick, wife
of Mr. Benj. Frick of this vicinity, nar
rowly escaped being drowned on Wednes
day of last week, under the following cir
cumstances. It appears she was return
ing from Ringgold in a buggy, in com
pany with a little girl, and on reaching
the crossing at the creek, near the Sash
Factory of Rev. D. F. Good, she deencied
ed it 'prudent to get one of the men at
Mr. Good's to drive the horse over the
stream, and accordingly dispatChed the
child to his place for that purpose. _Af
ter she had started the horse became un
manageable and upset the buggy, drag
ing it with Mrs. F. into the stream, which
was much swollen owing to heavy and
protracted rain showers. Some children
near by gave the alarm, and Mr G. and
'• •t • :Ist in the slot.--
She had become *disengaged from the ye
hicle-and-hadlodged_untler a willo_w_tre•
which projected over the creek with only
her face out of the water. They at once
made an effort to rescue the lady, but her
skirts were so tightly fastened to the roots
of the tree as to prevent them doing so
until a third party, Mr. Lewis X. Bon
brake, went to their help, and she was on-
y •en re eas , a er or
clothing. When taken out she was much
exhausted and for a time insensible as to
what had taken place. Had the gentle
men referred to reached the scene of the
mishap a little later fatal consequences
must have been the result. In his strug
gles the horse had broken the shafts and
was in a helpless situation with ^ only liis
head out of water. He was finally rescu
ed but seriously 'wounded. In one place
he was found pierced with the broken

The editor says : '
He received it without any apparent e

His coolness under the circumstances, wa
indeed remarkable. He conversed can
tiously, and said it was no more than h:.
eipected, as when public opinion once set
against an individual it was almost im
possible to overcome it by any amount o
evidence.
When we entered his cell he had retir
ed for the night, but, upon being announc•
ed, he quickly arose from his couch, and
upon being introduced by Deputy Sheriff
Masters, he greeted us cordially and re
ceived the information of the result of his
appeal with an indescribable coolness. It
appeared not to effect him in the least
and. he conversed as calmly as if it ha
been tidings of his release instead of hi
death knell. After the door of his eel
was closed upon him, we waited outsid •
and listened to his whistling a livery air,
after which he retired for the night.
He expressed himself as highly gratifi
ed with the kind treatment of the sheri '
and his deputies and as averse to bein
interviewed by strangers particularly a
this time.
In regard to the matter of the killing
of Lynn he was particularly reticent, nev
er once alluding to the subject, although
we endeavored to draw him out and in
duce him to say something that would af
ford a clue to the real facts in the case,

MONDAY PAYmErrs.—Moralists and
reformers (says the Baltimore American.)
are seriously asking themselves the ques
tion whether it is not best to pay weekly
wages on Monday' instead of Saturday.—
In the large cities, and in fact in all the
manufacturing centres, the twenty-four
hours after the close of work on Saturday
evening comprise the season of the great
est amount of drinking, rioting, vice and
crime of any time during the week. The
police stations are generally filled on Sat
urday night. It is then that the bar-rooms
do their heavieet business, and that men,
mad with liquor, are ready for any excess
or brutality. The temptations involved
in a day of leisure and a pocketful of
money are too strong for men who would
resist them if the Saturday night's de
bauch was not followed I • . • ' '
stupor and recovery. To be intoxicated
_en_the_last night of the_we •ek_means only
a headache on Sunday, but on Monday
evening is apt to bring delinquency the
next day and consequent dismissal. We
see it stated that in both England and A
merica, several large firms have tried the
experiment of Monday payments, and
that in every case the result has been most
*1 •
ten happens that good workmen lose from
one to three days in the beginning of the
week in recovering from the effects of a
Saturday night and Sunday spree. Un
derthe new system the evil no longer ex
ists. The employees are at work prompt
ly, they.save their money, and the result
is manifest in - a — beneftt to both master tnd
workman. •
It . would, indeed, be a worthy reform
.that should prevent a large share of the
_wages_of_working_people_froin_being_speat
in liquor and worse forms of dissipation.
The only objection to the new system we
have heard advanced is that no money
~Ih7~IIJII~H7R[IIIIK~'~II[~f
scanty table for the wife and children on
earnings in viel - Cue not - likely in any e
vent to save much for their families, this
objection, falls to• the ground. Much of
the povertY-and suffering among the la
boring classes is directly due to the dissi
pation of him whose wages, if husbanded,
would be sufficient to maintain his fami
ly in comfort. If he should be paid off
on the money that on Saturday
would go to the tavern-keeper woald be
deposited in the household treasury in
stead. And the bettering of family rela
tions means the improvement of society.
The majority of the assaults, wife-beat
ings and murders are committed on Sat
urday night and Sunday by men who are
crazed with drink. Keep them sober and
they are in the average steady and peace
able. This is a powerful argument in be
half of Monday payments, and it, is being
very generally appreciated.
A FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday af
ternoon, while John Cramer was return
ing to his home at Beaver C"reek,•with'a
wagon loaded with brick ; he endeavored
to draw the-rubbers when he fell under
one of the wheels, which passed over his
body, crushing him so terribly as to result
in almost instant death. We understand
that he was somewhat intoxicated at the
time—another practical lecture against
excessive drink. The deceased leaves a
wife and two children, who are quite in a
helpless condition, and whose bereavement,
so sudden and so tragic, must be keenly
and painfully felt. The accident happen
ed near his dwelling, and immediate med
ical assistance was rendered by Dr. Ra
mer, but too late, for the poor sufferer ex
pired within an hour after the occurrence.

MrSeveral of the patents owned by the
Sewing Machine Ring have expired, but
they hold others that will enable them to
continue their present system of extortion
for several years to come.
The Wilson S. M. Company do not belong
to the "Ring," and their . aim has been to
benefit the public by reducing prices to a
reasonable standard. Their machines are
now the most perfect in the market, noise
less, light-running, and capable of the wid
est range of family sewing. While owing to
their peculiar construction and the means
employed for taking up lost motion, they
will last fully 5 years longer than any other
machine. Examine the Wilson and be con
vinced. - A. E. WAYNANT, Agent,

DEATHS.
Near Leitersburg, Md., on the 3d inst.,
OSCAR A., son of henry and Nancy Snot
erly, aged 9 years, 8 months and 9 days.
Scarce had the bloom of youth appeared
Upon his cheek so fair,
Ere we were called by death to part,
With him we loved so dear.
His youthful sang we'll hear no more—.
His voice so sweet is gone ;
Gone to mingle with angel bands,
Around the eternal shore.
