Although it is stated that his physicians held out hopes of his recovery, it is known that the most experienced medical practitioners rarely succeed in successfully treating cases sim ilar to that of the Vice President. The affection of his speech, is is feared, will be come permanent, and the chances are now that he will never be able to take the Vice- President's chair in the Senate. stir The detitructive ravages of the chol era continue in different places in the west, although not with as great severity as several weeks ago. In the northern part of Missouri-there have been upwards of fifty deaths. At Mount Vermon, Ind. there was quite a panic, more than half the population having left the town, and there were a great many deaths. Out of, one family of ten persons, but one was liv ing on Sunday, all the others having in a few days died of the scourge. In Evans ville, Mount Carmi and other places there have also been a number of deaths. TERRIBLE FIRE IN BALTIMORE.—A bout 10 o'clock en,Friday forenoon a fi re broke out in the Plaiting Mill, belonging to Jos. Thomas & Co., 9n Clay street near Park, and soon extended so that a gener al alarm was given. In a short time the fire had increased, so that it seemed as though the city was to be destroyed, and engines were sent from Washington to as sist in extinguishing the flames. The fire was got under control by 4 P. M., hut by that time about 100' bUildings were de stroyed, among which were Dr. Smiths Presbyterian, and Dr. Baaclays Luther an Church. Two firemen are known to be killed and many persons were over come with the heat. The total loss is es timated at $1,000,000. The Insurance Companies losing by the fire are all Baltimore corporations.— The Maryland loses about $l,OOO, the Peabody $7,500, the Hanover $2,100, the German $45,250, the Fireman's $29,000, the Equitable $40,900, and the United German $16,800. The entire insurance is probably a little more $150,000. DR. MARY WALKER IN BALTIMORE. =Among the passengers who arrived at Camden Station yesterday from Washing. ton in the 2.20 I'. M. train was the well known Dr. Mary Walker, who insists up on wearing pantaloons. The doctor was arrayed in a pair of.black pataloons, a tight-fitting blue frock coat, the skirt of which reached below the knees, and upon her head a stylish Mackinaw hat. Her delicate throat was encased in a Byron collar, and adorned with . a white cravat, and on her feet a pair of No. 3 gaiters.— Her coat, like that of Grimes, was button ed up to tb throa t, notwithstanding the tram weather. lifter alighting from the train Dr. Mary entered the ladies' recep tion roon6ind by her strange wardrobe stad dashing manners caused considerable amusement among a large number of la xliw awaiting the departure of a train for Washington,. who had never before seen that sortofstyle. After remaining in the room a short time the eccentric doctor left the depot and passed up Howard street, faltowed by a crowd of white and colored boys, whose attentions did not annoy her iu the least.—Sun. ilfirA Harper's Ferry man owns a whole mountain mid offers to trade for a shot'gwi.

After killing Mrs. Isabella Mcßride and securing the gold and silver stored in the old farm house, the murderer deliber ately made his way to Williamsport and began-to-drink,-paying-for-the liquor ant cigars with specie. Towards evening on Wednesday, however, his strange actions led to his being "shadowed," and finally, to his arrest. This was brought about through information received of a lad to whom Wade showed several bags of gold. This so excited the boy's curiosity that he asked Wade to allow him to count the money,_ancLtogether_they_went to a barn in the outskirts of Williamsport, when Wade opened a large bag and threw its contents of gold and silver to the ground. Once in prison he began to laugh, and seemed to he greatly amused and pleased on account of the sensation he had crea ted. He sent for an officer and related the whole story of the murder of Mrs. 1 :tvinTra - deferiotkitiortlie - fit lady's actions with the club, and went so far as to even attempt to imitate her cries. In this heartless undertaking he was speed ily checked, and he assumed an air of in jured innocence because he was not allow ed to proceed. He said that during his career he had killed several people, among whom was a Spanish woman, and that the desire to murder had grown on him. His first mur der as he related, was committed on the plains several years ago, and since that time he had put out of the way all whom plwatiummit:vm,titsuot:amtiwitwv.p..l:;;lsm:a ven suspected. He said he did nit, fear death, and was ready to swing whenever they got. ready. His troubles he attribu ted to the want of proper training when j young. This he did not receive as his pa- _rentsilied_and_leftlim_alene_in_the wor when about five years of age. He refused to give the names of any of his victims, but said he would before he was hung. The specie has been recovered. Old Mr. Mcßride, still remains in an un- conscious state, the physicians have no hope of his recovery. AN INSURANCE MURDER.-A year or more ago one William Gobs of Baltimore had his life insured to the amout of $25- ,000 in several leading insurance compa nies. Goss was an inventive mechanic and was experimenting in a small build ing in the suburbs of Baltimore, in Janu ary, 1872, when the building took fire and was consumed. A half consumed body was taken from the debris of the fire, and recognized as the body of Goss, by his p p wife and brother, and such buried.— The companies refused to ay the insu rance, and suit was broug tby Mrs. Goss, which terminated in favor in May last. Figuring prominently as a witness for the plaintiff was a man of the name of Udderzook, who now figures equally as prominent in a very mysterious murder in Chester, Pa. A few weeks ago Udder zook and companion stopped at a smal village in Chester county, and then disap peared. Since that time the dead body of the stranger who was with Udderzook was found in the woods near the village so decomposed as to be almost unrecogni zable. A ring, however, on the finger of the (lead man has lead to investigation, and letters have turned up which leads I, the belief that the dead man was no ether than Goss, murdered by Udderzook for a reward from those who were to reap the benefit of the insurance on his life, the companies claiming on the trial that Goss was not dead. It has the appearance of a deep mystery, and only a legal investi gation will clear it up. A PRINCELY INHERITANCE.—The Har risburg papers of last week announce that the will of Thomas M'Kee, of Alleghany, whose death was announced a few days ago, has been filed in the register's office. Nettie Adelia M'Kee, a daughter aged a bout twenty years, who has spent a por tion of her time attending school in Har risburg, is the sole possessor of her father's immense wealth, estimated at from $l,- 500,000 to $2,000,000. Here is a chance of which fortune hunters should endeavor to avail themselves. According to the will, the only daughter is to have all his household furniture, thirty-three shares of stock in the Stubenville and Middletown Turnpike Company, all his money and other personal property and all his real estate in Stowe township, Allegheny Co., comprising a tract of land over 400 acres; also fifty-three acres in Chartiers township, 207 acres and 127 perches in Susquehan na township, Dauphin county, eleven lots in Allegheny City and four lots in Rock Island, Illinois. The daughter is reques ted not ,to encumber the estate by any mortgage on hex own account or for any husband to whom she may be married and not to divide the property but retain it, whole, living on the rents, issues and profits thereof. um.

The "i e man" is aiwa and consequently well patronized. The institution is'a good one as long as the thermometer continues at 90 or therea bouts: fiEiV'The Carlisle Herald says that track laying on the Harrisburg and Potomac railroad, will commence this week, at Mt.

At both of these places the meetings here tofore have been largely attended. A SICK CHILD.—A small child of the Rev. H. H. W. Hibshman on Monday last swallowed a part of the contents of a blacking box, from the effects of which it was taken suddenly and alarmingly ill. The necessary emetic was administered by Dr. A. H. Strickler and the little one thus relieved. ABSENT.—The Presbyterian congrega tion qf this place have granted their Pas tor, Rev. R. F. McClean, a vacation dur ing the heated term. He left on Tuesday to pass the time, or a portion of it at least, among his Adams county friends. He ex pects to return about the first of Septem ber. . WARM SPRING.-A. warm spring, strong ly impregnated with iron, has quite recent ly been discovered about one hundred yards from the Beautiful View Springs property on the mountain. . The stream is not a large one however. Our inform. ant who was at the spring and tasted the water says it discharges about three bar rels per day. iA thunder gust passed over Green castle on Sunday evening, the rain fall. ing in torrents until the streets were cov ered with water to a considerable depth and nearly all the cellars in the town were filled with water. Such a rain it is said is without record in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of the town. ENCOURGAGING.—The Riddlesberger Herculean Lifting Jack, the patent right of which was sometime since purchased by Dr. I. N. Snively, proves popular wherever introduced. We understand the Dr. has already effected large sales of territory. We congratulate him upon his success so far with this simple yet useful invention. tar - The Newrille Star chronicles the killing of a blowing viper last week on the farm of Samuel Alexander, near Waynesboro', Pa., five feet four inches long, with a two-inch horn on its tail.— We have not had the pleasure of scraping an acquaintance with the gentleman re ferred to, but presume he has a "local habitation" somewhere. RAIN.—On Saturday afternoon and eve ning last this section was visited with the most copious and refreshing rain showers, pretty thoroughly soaking the parched earth. The protracted drought and in tensely warm weather had to some extent injured the growing corn, but these show era seemed sent just in time. to save the crop. A week later and the earlier plant ing would doubtless have been beyond re viving.. The same is perhaps true of the second planting of potatoes. tg.S. S. Schmucker, D. D., an eminent Lutheran Theologian and Profmtor,in the Seminary at Gettysburg, died suddenly at that place en Saturday night. LEASING w ORE LANDS.—Some of our citizens have taken exceptions to the corn-. munication publish - ea in our columns last week over the signature of "A Landhol der." From a letter addressed to us up on the subject, we extract the following : "Waiving the point of this being a fair transaction only concerning the parties them selves—the article published was unjust, be- cause in the ' Ist place—These leases were 'read and fairly explained throughout to the parties who leased. 2nd. The price (to be) paid was exaet -Iy-the-same -as-in-the-leases . now-made to Mt. Alto Company, (25 cents per ton,) and considering the hauling by wagons one mile to road, &c.,—afullpriee—more than 50 cents on near farming hind. 3rd. The tracts leased . (with three ex ceptions) are all upon mountain land (timber reserved) on which a good ore bed would pay from 500 to 1,000 per cent—annually—but-if-never opened are comparatively worthless. 4th. These leases are not like those of the Southern Penn'a Iron & Railroad Company, daring altogether as to time, condition and price, and free from other privileges given in those. sth.

These ]eases are made to secure a Railroad— which experience has shown cannot be made by -subscription—and won't come anyhow, as the article says." ORE LEAsuxa—A Railroad Promised. The operations of Joseph Douglas, Esq., and Mr. Geo. • Middour, who have been engaged for several weeks in leasing ore lands in this section, has awakened con siderable interest, particularly so in Quin cy township, where most of the leases have been obtain • d _ a . h • cm 'time and responsible capitalists have agreed to build a railroad into this section of our county, where valuable ore in inexhausti ble quantities is believed to imbedded, provided a certain number of leases are secured. If we have been correctly in- formed, more responsible parties than those represented by Messrs. Douglas and Middour are perhaps not to be found in the State of Pennsylvania. So that if a sufficient amount of territory is leased and an examination reveals the fact that ore in quantity and quality abounds there, we believe the promised road will be built. Persons having lands to lease should con sider the fact that these lands without a railroad are comparatively valueless, and must so remain for time to come, and further,the cost of building a road. Self in terest should prompt such persons to aid any project looking to a development of their lands. We are also assured that an Anthracite Furnace is in contemplation. Such a Furnace along the line of the road in Quincy township, in a pecuniary point of view, would prove a vast benefit to the people at large. 0. F. Pie Nrc.—The Odd Fellows' pio nic held at Blue Ridge Summit on la* Friday was the largest pie nic of the sea son. It is estimated, that from 2500 to 3000 persons were present during the day. At 11 o'clock the Good Samaritan Lodge of Mechanicstown, accompanied by hun dreds of their friends arrived at the Sta tion, and were received by the Potomac Lodge. The welcome was offered by Sam uel L. King, Esq., of Hagerstown, and responded to by Fred. White, Esq., of Mechanicstown. [Mr. W. in the days of auld lang syne was a merchant doing busi ness at the corner of the public square and Church Street, Waynesboro'. He looks as if the weight of years rested lightly on his brow.] The day was intensely hot. An increas ing stream of people surrounded the pump which did good service supplying the' thirsty with a constant supply of pure sweet water. Some of the young folks en joyed themselves "tripping the light fan tastic toe" in the warehouse. A large number of our citizens attend ed this plc nic. Twenty-five or thirty mem bers of the Waynesboro' Lodge were pres ent. EXCURSION TO BALTIMORE.-A short time since the Farmers' Club of Wash ington county, Md., decided to make an excursion to Druid Hill Park, Baltimore. The day has not yet been chosen, but it will be in the early part of the month of September. It is believed that a thousand persons or more will go from Washington county. The Club has become a very popular organization and its members are counted by hundreds. The President told the writer of this that the people of Penn. sylvania and Virginia were cordially in vited to participate in this excursion. The fare for the round trip to those who obtain their tickets from the properly authorized committee will be but s2,oo—John Phil ips, Esq. is the proper person to whom our citizens of town and vicinity will ap ply for tickets. FRIGHTFUL CIIT.—On the 24th inst. Mr. John Kugler', who resides about two miles West of town, whilst cutting wood let fall a heavy piece upon his axe. The axe flew up the bit of it striking and al most severing his nose, cutting the blood vessels into the bones of his face, from which a frightful hemorrhage ensued.— Dr. I, N. Snively tied the bleeding vessels and replaced the parts. At last accounts Mr. K. was &ling well though somewhat, prostrated from the loss of blood. ASTATEME,ST OF THE BiBLK WORK WAYNERRORq.—ReI7. •F.

The whole number of familee visited, up to this time, is about 4,500 ; of these more than 400 were without an entire copy of the Bible. ile-sales--of-the-Agenta-to_this_time amount to $1,125,12. These have all been sold at cost prices. The donations made by the Agents to this time amount to $220, more or less. T_bl) Agents in their visitations have been kindly received and entertained by the families. Those destitute generally, have received Bibles with gratellzinfts.— The cases of unwillingness to accept the word of God are very rare—scarcely any. This important work cannot but yield good fruit. The aim of the Christian Churches, hi this county, famablo to this good work, is to place a copy of the Bible in every family ; so that in the day of Judgment, these destitute persons cannot, say, "You knew our destitute condition, and you cared not for-us." The Bible is at the foundation of all that is really . and religiously good, in Church and State organizations. I SHERIFF'S SALEs.—The Sheriff, S. F. Greenawalt, advertises the following pro perty, which will be offered in front of the—Courtilottse,in_Chambersbur. on Friday, August l l3, at 1 o'clock.

Six acres and improvements, in Antrim township, the property of Moses Ander son. A house and lot in Greencastle, the property of Jacob L. Detrich. , H. IP. R. R.—The Harrisburg and Potomac Railroad must prove ' a grand success when taken into consideration that at least 500 tons of ore will be load ed and hauled away from the banks ev ery day. This estimate has been made by parties who have the reputation of knowing whereof they speak. The sub scribers to the stock in Penn, and other townships complain of the slowness of the road getting in their direction, many of whom have paid down their money. These must remember that before a locomative could possibly get there the lower end of it must be laid first and when completed it will facilitate the laying of the upper. There is little doubt that when the road is finished to Cleversburg, the gap between that place and Waynesboro' will not be long in filling up. Pregression makes progression and this has never been more fully demonstrated than in railroads.— Five hundred tons of ore will make fully five freight trains daily, and .we feel' we are not too sanguine in saying that in a few years the people on the southern bor der of this county will be realizing a pros perity rarely enjoyed by any sectidn of the State outside of the coal or lumber regions.—Newville Star. FOR &La.—One of the most desirable homesteads in Waynesboro' is now, we are authorized to say, for sale. We refer to the property of Mr. P. Geiser. Any person wanting a pleasant private resi dence with a couple acres of highly im• proved land, will do well to call on Mr. Geiser. AN ACCIDENT.-A small son of Mrs. John W. Good, oil the 23d inst., fell from the upper floor of Mr. James Cook's barn, near Mt. Hope, to the barn floor. It sus tained a great shock, but fortunately no bones were broken. I& stack of wheat in the vicinity of Cavetown, Md., was struck by light ning on Saturday last and consumed. It contained about 400 bushels and was the property of a Mr. Huyett. So says the Daily News. iiiinbere is a young lady in town who borate of tlvo beßox:--hut they are el- bows. Mn. Earrou.—All agree that the ris ing generation should be educated. The means which are to be used to obtain the desired end are variously understood.— Some have an idea that any boy or girl who is 17 years old, and who has attend ed a public school 5 months each. winter, and who can manage to get a certificate from die County Superintendent, is fit to teach a primary school. Others have an idea that a person who has finished•up course at college, is fit to "draw out" and furnish the mind. We think the first -_have_not_sufficiently_exptacled their minds so that they are able to see how broad and deep is the extent of the work to be performed. While the second class are like the recently unfortunate teronaut, or like an ignorant engineer on a rail road or steamboat, or like a_do • knows mithing of the properties nor the quantity of medicine to be administered. _ The mind is a wonderful] • corn 'Heated machinery; those who pretend to train it should study the science of the mind.— They also need skill in practice. The best an s o way • acqutre is is q - r daily practice under the criticism and in struction of an expert. This is what Nor mal Schools aim to do. Our advice 'to young people is that they first ascertain vrhether—they-ars-naturally—adapted teach ; next take a thorough Normal course before they begiq, and then the re sults in teaching will soon appear. This can only be brought about, however, by directors holding out the inducements. They must pay to first-class teachers from eight to ten hundred dollars a year. Un til this reformation is brought about, our schools will, as a general thing, turn out only dwarfs. IMPROVEMENT. SUDDEN DEATIL—At an early hour on Friday morning, says the Hagerstown Dai , our citizens were astounded by the report of the sudden death of Mr. Black stone Lynch, for many years prominently engaged in the livery business in our town, and generally known and esteemed thro% out the county. At an early hour crowds of sympathizing friends were in the vicin i y o his boarding house a .2: I sick-hew the particulars and to tender' their aid and sympathy. Until a Jury was summoned by Coroner Wright, and the evidence heard, many rumors were prevalent and many suspicions indulged in: The Jury, however, were satisfied that the cause of death was appoplexy, and so rendered their verdict. It is a singular circumstance that just one year from the funeral of his wife Mr. Lynch should be thus stricken down in so sudden a manner. He leaves two children, a son and a daughter, who have in the space of a year been tendered truely orphans. They have in their sor row the sympathy of the entire communi ty. DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.—On Fri day morning last, Mrs. Hager, relect of the late Jonathan Hager, Esq., died at the residence of S. D. Straub, Esq., her son-in-law, on South Potomac Street of this town, in the 78th year of her age. Mrs. H. was a daughter of Jonas Hog mire, Esq., one of the first Suryeyors of the Co., and a very prominent, wealthy and influential citizen in its early days, and was his last surviving child. , With her death, the last link in the chain, con necting the present with the past in. the case of this once influential family, has been removed, and thus it has been, thus it is. and thus it will be in the case of all our old families.--Herald.

CORAGEOCA FEMALE-A young WOman Attacked by a Panther.—A correspondent at Lock Haven writes the following, to the Pittebug Commercial: On Thursday last a party of young women went out from Queen's Run on to the mountain just back of the settlement, gathering huckleberries. One of them, Jerusha Bry an, advanced a little farther into the woods than the others, when she was - at tacked by a huge panther. Her compan ions, hearing the 'brute scream, sought safety in flight, but Miss Bryan, finding escape impossible, determined to stand her ground, and seizing a huge pine knot gave hex enemy battle,. The contest was a close one for a few minutes, but human courage, judgment and coolness' soon tri umphed over brute strength, and the he roic woman soon had the satisfaction of laying the bloodthirsty monster dead at her feet. Her garments were torn into shreds, and her face and arms badly scratched, but she walked home with a firm step, the light of triumph in her eye, and was able to give a good account of herself. The dead panther was soon af terward follad by the people of Queen's Rep, andproved on measurement Vika six. feet slid ten inches long. Miss Bryan is the lio>ti • (or lioness) of the neighbor hood, and she well deserves to be.
