He was President of the Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention now in session in Philadelphia, and he al so presided over the Constitutional Con ventiun of 1838. . 101-. A. terrible casualty occurred near Lancaster, Pa. A large number of wo men and . girls were on a mountain gath ering berries when a terrific-thunder storm arose. Twenty-one of -the berry pickers took shelter in an abandoned shanty, and almost immediatly afterwards the buil ding was struck by lightning. Two wo men were instantly killed. Seven others were severely injured. Ititil'lt appears that the Democracy in Maryland are not having a very harmo nious time of it just now. In Allegheny and Anne Arundel counties there is au open rupture iu the party. Second con ventions have been called by some of the leading spirits of the party who utterly repudiate and refuse to support the ticket nominated by the "ring," as they term it, and accuse Gov. Whyte of getting up the monopoly for his own benefit. tak.A terrible aecident occurred at half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night near Lemont, on the Chicago *and Alton Railroad, an tneorning freight train col liding with a south bound express passen ger train, almost, entirely wrecking the latter. Six persons were killed outright and some thirty-seven others fearfuly in jured; many of whom, it is said, will die. The cars caugllt fire; and numbers of the injured were burned badly, while others were scalded by .the hot water from the locomotive boilers, M.A. Harper's Ferry correspondent writes : "Of all the old Government buil /dings in the armory enclosure befbre the war, the only onathat has escaped de struction is John Brown's engine house. Situated in the exp.osed position, it stands as intact now as the day when John Brown and hisrty were taken prisoners.

No A NICE PLAY THING.----A Lehigh county man and woman went to the hay field the of er da , and took their bab _ and placed it in the shade.

The snake Was killed, to the grief of the child. BErOne hundred of the Menonites, who have exiled themselves from Russia rath er than submit to military service and adapt themselves to Russian manners and customs, arrived in New York on Friday, and started for Kansas on Saturday, where they will settle. There are between forty and fifty thousand of this sect in Russia, and probably very nearly all of them will choose expatriation in preference to giv ing up their peace principles. They are Baptists, but with• reference to war .hold the same views as the Quakers. For ma ny years they have been exempted from the army conscription in Russia, but the Czar has recently revoked this privilege, and given them ten years in' which to leave the country or become Russian sub jects in every particular. This country will profit by receiving thousands of these industrious and thrifty people among its citizens. Various delegations have been searching through the Western States to determine on suitable homes for the emi grants, and a colony 'of 5,000 'will come out in May. Notwithstanding its harsh measures toward them; the Russian Gov ernment is loth to let them depart, and the few who have already arrived here had trouble in °hawing permission to leave the country. DEATH 'BY INcnns.—The Philadelphia papers tell a shocking story of the confine ment and starvation of a young girl in that city by her stepmother. Since last Christmas shd has been a close prisoner in one room, and fed with kitchen refuse, when she was given anything at all, which was not frequently. On some occasions, when her sufferings had driven her to the verge of insanity, muddy water would be handed to her, and she would greedily drink it. A few days ago she escaped from the room to a shed, and thus reach ed the ground. Some charitable people took compassion on her, but the cruel treatment and deprivation of food which she has undergone have reduced her to such a condition that it is impUssible for her to live much longer. She is a mere skeleton, and when she escaped she was so filthy as to be positively disgusting.— The brutal woman has been arrested and committed to jail. BLEEDING AT THE NOSE.—A correspon dent the Scientific American says. "the best remedy for the bleeding at the nose, as given, by Dr. Gleason, in one of his lectures, is a vigorous. motion of the jaws, as if in the act of mastication. In the cure of t." . child, a wad of paper should be .placed in itsmouth and the child instruct ed to chew it hard. Of courpe an adult does not: need the paper. It is the motion of the jaws that Stays the flow of blood. This remedy is so yery simple that many will feet inclined to laugh at it, but it has never been known to fail in 4. single in stauee, even in vary severe cases. /Pernen Mishler, original proprietor of Misbier's bitters, Lancaster, Pa., erected a three story house in that city, last week in fourteen hours, This is the ,second en terprise of the kind which he has under taken.

Subject—" Woman's _Rights and Wrongs." • BUSINESS RESUMED.-It wilt be seen by reference to his advertisement, that Mr. L. K. Morrison, late of the firm of Hamilton & Morrison, hr.s re-commenced the coach•making busiiiess at the old stand on Mechanic Street. N__ERATDILE.—JaeoII Snider,of-Fulton-, county, has leased rooms in the Oellig building, on the Diamond, and purposes opening a boot and shoe store next week. He is now East making purchases.

Subscribers to the .Record will receive their papers as usual at his store, LEartrau.—Mr. Jno. Kelsey, the Bucks county "harrow man," gave his promised lecture off of the Bowden House porch on Saturday evening last. He had a large audience, resembling somewhat a political gathering. The lecture consisted of a his tory of Mr. Kelsey's life, which was a ve: ry eventful one, with his peculiar views of the "Bible and its Teachings." CHOLERA MEDICINE.—We acknowl edge the receipt of a very acceptable pres ent this week, a one dollar bottle of Dr. H'ickey's Cholera Medicine, from our friend, Mr. David Mort, who has been ex tensively engaged in the manufacture of of the article for 10 or 12 years. We can vouch for its being the genuine article.— No family should' be without a bottle summer or winter. WAY . NEBBORO' BREWERY.-It will be been by reference to our .advertising col umns that the Gordon property, Waynes boro' Brewery and Dwelling, will be sold on ,the 20th day of September next.— The buildings are new, the Brewery two stories and the Dwelling three stories high. It is one of the finest properties in our Borough and very advantageously situa• ted for business, It is understood the property will positively be sold on that day. Itr . A correspondent in the last Public Opinion congratulates the people of our county that the "day of freedom has dawned." That the -last liquor license expired on Saturday." The writer is a little mistaken. Waynesboro' has one li censed house, and the only one in the county, that of Mr. Hiram Henneberger. Hiram "sets it up," ice-cold ale, porter, etc., but at the same time conforms to the letter of the law. His license will expire on the 2nd day of November next. CHANCE FOR A NURSERYMAN.--Mr. Daniel Crouse, Proprietor of "Autietam Nursery," near this place, owing to his advanced age and declining health, wish to retire from the Nursery business. Any person wishing to engage in the business can no doubt make a profitable invest ment by purchasing the said Nursery.— Next month he purposes offering at public auction about 6000 peach trees, in case the Nursery.is not disposed of in the mean time. For futher particulars call on Mr. C. or address him at this place. Ser John W. i ßrown, M. E., of this township, was one day last week elected t o take charge of the High Department of the Graded Schools of Mercersburg. From what we know of Mr. Brown, the School Board of that place will have no cause to regret their selection of a Prin cipal. Mr. B. is an experienced teach er, and graduate of the Cutstown Normal School. A couple years since he declined the Principalship of the graded schools of Stroudsburg, county seat of Monroe coun ty, Fa., at. a ban lsotne salary, in conse quence of a previous engagement with the School Board in 9,uincy township. PUBLIC SALE.—We call special atten tion to the sale of personal property by Mrs. McCauley. Y. M. C. A.—The Young Men's Chris tian Association will hold' meetingi ,- on unday_next,at 3/ o'clock At Tonistown and at Pleasant Hill school house. The appointments made for holding prayer meetings in Pikesville, Tomstown, Ringgold, Pleasant Hill, or elsewhere, will be punctually filled. The people in the districts where the meetings ate to, be held may rest assured that the. indefati gable zeal of th%Committee of the Asso ciation will not allow a . little rain, or slight inconvenience of any kind, to pre vent the persons who are to lead the ex ercises from attending :promptly at the hour set. We are requested to make this announzement for the reason, on orie'or two cloudy sabbaths, recently, the attend ance at the •ra er meetinl- was rath-r slim, the people not expecting our town brethren to risk the foul weather. They evidently do not know Mr. -- airman — o 0 IS-C to attend to this work) or they would not expect any ordinary circumstance to hin der him_ond_other_earnestmembers-of-th: association from fulfilling the appoint ments made from time to time. BAD PAVEMENTS.-It would be well for our Borough Council, whilst on the -grading-and pity 'lig question, to - lo° a - ter property holders on Main Street, East and West. If any town in the county or adjoining counties has worse pavements, strangers who visit here say they have no knowledge of such place. The majority of out citizens keep their side-walks in repair, but there are others scattered here and there who are just public spirited enough to wade through mud•puddles ant have the more cleanly disposed do the same, the year round. If such persons are too• careless or too parsimonious to keep up their pavements, the Council - • 1141-40-thc-work-and-tax--therawn-enif the property with the cost. If too poor to pay, let it come off ,thr-Sorough—at large. A public nuisance should at no time be permitted on the highway. It our authorities will canvass Main Street some dark evening after _ a lieavy__or_pro , tnicted rain, they will be convinced that reform in this respect is much needed, we think. COURT Docios.—The. case of Hiram Henneberger, who was charged with sell ing ale to a miner, was disposed of last week. Verdict not guilty, but required to pay costs of prosecution. David Cramer who was tried for as sault and battery, on oath of john H. Ba ker, was declared not guilty, and costs of prosecution divided between prosecutor and defendant. Alex. M. Dunn, a lad 15 years old, charged with rape, plead guilty, and was sentenced to pay costs of prosecution and undergo an imprisonment of six months in the county jail. C. L. Vance, "Indian Doctor," charged with rape, and aiding . and soliciting A. DI. Dunn to commit rape. He was de clared guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of $lO, costs in the case, and undergo an imprisonment at labor in solitary confine ment in the Penitentiary for seven years and seven months. The outrage referred to was committed by the boy in July last upon an adopted daughter of a Mrs. Why temyer, and it was proven that the Dr. had been a ccessory to the commission of the crime. • He should have been sent fifteen instead of six years to the Penitentiary. FAussars CLUB.--This organization— .says the Hagerstown Dailyrnet on the farm of Mr. John Welty in the Ringgold district mi b Saturday and was largely at tended showing that t}'e interest in these meetings is on the increase. After the regular discussion had been concluded and lunch partaken of Mr. Da vid Oswald read an essay which was much applauded and a copy solicited for publi cation. The next meeting will beheld at Druid Hill Park, near Baltimore, on Wednes day September lith, for which occasion Dr. H. H. Harvey has been selected to read the esssay. The excursion will be over the West ern Maryland Railroad with -which com pany an arrangement has been made to furnish round trip tickets for $2, the tick ets to be good for three days. Persons who desire to accompany the Club will report to Geo. W. Harris, Esq., on or be fore the 11th of September. The subject for discussion at the next meeting will be ; "Wheat and the best method of raising it." S. S. Pip Nrc.—The Sabbath School connected with Trinity Reformed Church of this place, held a Basket Pic Nic at Beautiful View Springs, on the Moun tain, on Friday last. The School formed in procession in vehicles at the Church, and were escorted to the point selected by the Waynesboro' Band. The weather in the morning presented a threatening ap pearance, but fortunately they escaped a heavy rain shower which fell here. The day was therefore passed pleasantly, the littte ones being specially delighted with their mountain trip. EmanUel Brosius has sold the Fulton House in McConnelsburg, to Dr. Jacob S. Trout *for the sum of $4,500. So says the Republican. Baltimore girl was going to sue a false-hearted lover for breach of promise, but she agreed to compromise the' matter for $6l and a new 'switch. Mk:I6IORIAL.- "Friend after friend (*arta ; Who hath not lost a friend!? .1 There-is pn rinion_hereskf That hath not 'here its end." '' • • It has often beeriwrittert;. and,no doubt in many cases with much truth, that' "death loVes a shining mark ;" but in no case, -we think, has the truth of ~the max #ll- been more fully ,. exemplified, than in the death of our youni Mend, , John Pifeli.

Thus one by one our friends pass away from the scenes of mortality, hear d lmg evidence to the — truth of the sau4 ed word, "we all do fade as a leaf." It is to be earnestly hoped, that in the death of my friend, the lesson, though se vere, will not be without its effects—Rif RINC4OI4D, MD. • HE 1 MST .NAKE.—The Barnesville Enterprise repoits that Joseph Selby, while picking berries, came to what he suppos ed to be a log, and being somewhat tired he sat - down - upon it to tak - e a rest, when, much to his surprise, he commenced mov ing down the hill. He was so much fright ened that he did ,not know for some time what was the propelling power, but when he recovered himself he found that it was a monster snake carrying him upon its back. He supposed it was from fifty to sixty feet long, and as thick as his body, He fell off during thel journey, and the snake continued down into the hollow.— This snake has been seen by various par ties for several years past, - mostly in the berry season, but nobody has enjoyed such intimate acquaintance with the monster as Mr. Selby. —The above snake tops the snake' of snakes, the Newville Star's horny one in eluded. UNRIPE FRUIT.—This being the season of uripe fruit, a Massachusetts newspaper makes pertinent suggestions concerning the same—for instance, that it is well to whip soundly all small boys found near orchards on general preventive principles. It is likewise well to feel their pockets whenever they enter *the domestic (lona oil. To find the deadly apple there indi cates an intention to eat, and to find none shows that they have already been 'eaten. Either way the - re is but one thing votich an able and conscientious parent can do. But however much he does this thing, there is no hope of parting the average small boy from his beloved green apple. Not if every apple tree in the country was guarded by a ghost and a dozen rattle snakes would the. small boy forego his fa vorite fruit. Can we say more. FAT MEN'S CONVENTION.—The Mary land Republican says of the "Fat Men's Convention," at Put-in-Bay, 'Ohio, Sep tember 10, no credentials will be needed, save adiposity, and of the proper averdu poise of delegates: A bulky doorkeeper is to be the judge. What the portly gen tlemen are to do for the country's good it is not stated. Their discussions are to be secret, but no apprehensions need be en tertained of their ultimate designs. Tour Daniel Lambert is never a conspirator , but a good natural, frank philanthropist. High authority assures us that lean and hungry men are dangerous to the welfare of the State. Let us be thankful, there fore, that it •is the fat, and not the slender men that are to take counsel together in Ohio, on the 10th of September. THE WEATHER.-ThC wet spell" which set in. on Sunday a week, continued up' to Tuesday morning of thiS Week, since which time we have had clear weather. The ground his not perhaps been more thor oughly 0 - naked for years. The benefit to corn, , potatoes, etc., has been general and beyond computation.

In witnessing the sight I was amazed and moved to tears. By • order of Mr. Mid dour those rude and heavy shackles were removed, the cell vacated, and those feet which had been •bare and in "fetters/' were covered with a pair ' of new shoes, which I•saw him wear the first day, seat ed • comfortably in the shade in the enclo sure, "lamb" like, and close by his side a full-grown cat which he called "Susie," and which he raised in his. cell from a small kitten.
