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

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.

PZEIDELI'BIA;Iy, 2&—Additional
details received from the scene of the Mc-
Bride , inassaere, near Williamsport, shows
that Wade„ the murderer, is one of the
meet consum,ate villains that has been pro
duced by this State for years. , The cool
ness of his every action at the time and af
ter the perpetration of the horrible deed,
and the devil-may-eare air he assumes,
'rank Mm as a second Quantrel.
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.

pretty thoroughly soaking the parched
earth. The protracted drought and in

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.

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. The contracts in Cumberland coun
ty are 50 cents per ton for washed ore,
ler.Fthe -- w( --- 3 .. ycents per aii — Nniri- -
washed ore.
6th. 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

responded to by Fred. White, Esq., of
Mechanicstown. [Mr. W. in the days of

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

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

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,

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

Geiser.

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

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

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. We
doubt whether an instance can be found
on record 'cif more cool, heroic bravery
and wise discretion developed by any wo
man, even in the most historic and peril
ous days of "Pennsylvania,
