sta.The ravages of the yellow fever at
Shreveport are appalling. Four hundred
and forty deaths have taken place up to
Friday, or about ten per cent. of the to
tal population of the town. The list of
victims numbers a 'member of Congress
and other eminent men. The death roll
for Friday numbered twenty-two. A de
spatch from Memphis states that there
were twenty-two interments on Saturday,
making a total for the week of ninety
eight, a decrease of thirty from last week.
The yellow fever has also appeared at
Cairo, Illinois, there having been six or
eight fatal cases already.
terThe good people of Philadelphia
were shocked on Wednesday by the news
of a .terrible domebtic tragedy. Thomas
B. Parker shot his wire and then blew
his brains out. The parties moved in the
highest social' circles to which wealth
could raise them. Parker was one of the
five heirs to an estate of three millions of
dollars, and he had an income of fifty
thousand yearly. His wife had been liv
ing with him in peace, if not in happiness,
for twelve years, but jealousy drove him
to the bloody act which ended the career
of both' upon earth. Whether the motive
bad any warrant in fact the despatches
do not state, The double crime created
much excitement throughout the city.
/Of - Despatches from all quarters—
says the Balt. American—give us hope
that the great panic has subsided, and
that before many days it will go into the
the calendar with "Black Friday" and
other periods of financial disaster; which
swiftly run their ruinous course, and then
gave way to a healthy reaction. Immense
fortunes have been lost by the sudden and
unexampled 'depreciation of stocks, but
the commercial interests of the country
remain untouched. There has been a tem
porary intetruption in the "moving" of
the staple products, but no great deprecia
tion in prices. Thus far stockbrokers
and bankers have been the principal
sufferers. Depositors have been put to
some incovenience, and business hassuffer
ed greatly on account of the locking up
of the currency but we cannot see that
any of the suspended banks are hopelessly
insolvent. It is highly probable that when
the houses, which have been submerged
for the present, shall have had an oppor
tunity of gathering up their assets that
the actual loss to depositors will be much
less than is now supposed. The banks
in the North have general'y agreed to
.certify checks, when these will answer for
purposes of business, but as a general rule
in the South and West the money is
forthcoming upon demand. The healthy
condition of the Southern banks is a most
cheering sign of the times. 'The bankers
rest serenely upon the great
,staple (cot
ton), and they know full well that the
currency will flow southward in a contin
uous dream to move itas fast Hobe bales

SAD TRAGEDY PEAR HARPER'S PER

ng young lady aged about 17 years,
aughter of John H. Reed, Esq., of Wash

remarked that he would shoot her, when

ly, having received the entire charge of
the gun in her breast, some of the shot
penetrating her heart. The opinion ex

should be so impressed upon the minds of
every reader of this article.
The New York Graphic thus com
ments upon the Northern Pacific Rail
roe.] : "So it has come to an end at last!
The most )tbsurd railroad speculation ev
er entered upon was unquestionably the
planning of the Northern Pacific Rail
road. Hereafter it will be poluited at as
a monument of the ,astonishing folly of
this generation. This railroad has pro
bably marketed in this country thirty
millions of bonds, which are in the hands
of poor people, to whom the property will
be absolutely lost, as it is understood that
the lands have been juggled away; and,
at any rate, they will not be available for
many years to come. The downfall of
this railroad scheme is the signal for a
railroad crisis such as occurs in this coun
try and in England once in every seven
to eleven years. Happily, however, there
is no property actually lost by these pan
ics ; a lot of fictitious values, which have
been slowly accumulating, suddenly dis
appears, but every cent of real value re
mains in the country. Hard work and
economy will set us all right in time."
titarA double murder of a peculiarly
horrible kind was discovered on Saturday
morning near Montrose Station, on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
way, a place not far from Scranton, Pa.—
Vie bodies of an 'old lady of sixty-five,
and her daughter aged thirty, were found
lying across the track, but were not injur
ed by any train. A coroner's jury elicit
ed sufficient evidence to cause the arrest
of Daniel O'Mara, the son of the old lady
and his hired man named Irving. It
seems that O'Mara inherited some prop
erty on condition of supporting his moth
er and blind sister, and took this method
of relieving himself of the incumbrance.
After murdering the women, the scoun
drels laid the bodies across the track to
cause the belief that they had been acci
dentally run over by a train. It is one
of those occurrences that make the most
humane among us feel some satisfaction
that hanging is not quite "played out."
air Not less than three gifted writers
of Richmond, Virginia, are said to be en
gaged on as many . lives of Jefferson Da.,

Six feet of rope, however, would bring it
to an end in a few minutes.

LANDS, riv.—We visited Quincy
township on Monday last in company
with Joseph Douglas, Esq. Messrs. Geo..
Middour and Wm. Hammett. The gen
tlemen first mentioned have• been engage
ed for several months in taking ore leases
in that region. On the lands of Jacob
Middour; G. A. Roek, and others, we no
ticed what was represented ,as the finest
surface indications of iron ore. We next
visited the Wagaman tract, on the moun
tain, a short half mile from Quincy, where
a shaft is now being put down. This tract
ltriessrs. Douglas. and Middour purchased
I sometime since. The shaft is about 30 ft.
deep. Wash ore commences 12feet from
the top and extends all. the way down in
abundance. About 26 feet from the top
of shaft the. regular vein of ore begins,
which Mr. Hammett (who has had a long
experience in the iron business) assured
us was as fine a show as he ever saw. Ore
of fine s ualit was la in: around the
well in large quantities. A short ride from
this point brought us to the residence of
Mr. Henry , Good, where, after a half
ours ca a , we partoo . 0 sumptuous
meal. Mr. and Mrs.• G. are noted for
their kindness and hospitality, of which,
during our stay, we had ample evidence.

The latter can be gathered to together in

indications there is every reason to helieve
a large body of valuable ore lies imbedd
ed beneath the surface of these lands. It
is said to abound indeed all along the
mountain from Mt. Alto as far down as
the Burns' lands in this township.
We next with Mr. Good added to our
Duncan, Smith & Avery, a short distance
above Funkstown, where we witnessed the
operation of washing ore. The Co. have

half mile North of their works. Here we
met Mr. Rouse, Master Miner, who is by

no . little trouble , to show us around and
gave us a great deal of information as to
the different qualities of ore and the min
ing operatiOns of the company. They were
operating in three different shafts, two
perpendicular and one inclined plane.—
The latter is 250 feet. in depth. From
this shaft the ore, a fine quality, is brought
to the surface in cars by horse-power. Mr.
Rouse tendered us a car ride to its dark
depths, but circumstances forced us to de
cline his kind offer ; Messrs. Douglas and
Middour who are more experienced and
particularly interested in the ore business,
just now, ventured down and spent some
time among the miners. We 'was anxious
to see the Company's Iron Works, but
time would not admit of this. We saw
enough however from the outside surround
ings to form an idea as to the magnitude
of the business of the Mt. Alto Iroti Com
pany.
The trip was altogether a pleasant one,
and more than ever convinced us that the
Mountain and farm lands bordering on it
in that part of Quincy township are rich
in mineral wealth, and will some day not
far distant, be developed by a further rail
road extension in that direction.

received the money in cash in her own

was her custom. That night two negro

manded her money or her life. Sfie beg

ed to let her keep the one hundred dol
lars. They then ordered her to make
some strong coffee for them to drink. In
doing so she bethought herself of some
strychnine she had, and dropped it in the
pot of coffee, and placed it on the table,
with cups, spoons and sugar for them to
pour out and sweeten to their taste. They
drank in a jolly mood, each one having

WHEAT vs. CHEAT.—Wheat never turns
to cheat, nor does cheat ever turn to wheat.
If cheat is not sown with the wheat, and
ere-is-none in the ground, there will
be none found in the growing crop. Cheat
is often found growing so closely 'unfing
the roots of the wheat as to have the ap
pearance of having come from the same
seed. But that is not the ease. Wheat
will not become cheat, however badly it
may be damaged or degenerated. The
two are quite different plants. Cheat (B.
