869.. A telegraph correspondence has ta
ken, place between Governor Ames of
Mississippi and the President, in which
the former renews the request of Lieu
tenant Gov. Davis that Federal troops be
sent to Vicksburg to preserve the peace.
Mr. Ames intimates that there is likely
to be a collision between the whites and
negroes, but the President once more re
fuses to the soldiers to the scene of
trouble unless the former will make a call
for them in the regular manner provided,
by the Constitution.
S'There are twojnew theories broached
in regard to the abduction case in Phil
adelphia. First—that Ross himself has
privately bestowed the bey in conspiracy
with other confederates for the purpose of
securing the $20,000 to be paid for the
restoration. Second—that the: detective
force are either the principles in the out
rage;or:.7abettors, or both,aud:are working
for the $20,000. Some circumstances con
nected with the affair points to conclusions
of this kind, but as yet not with sufficient
clearness to challenge belief.
ute_The various petitions for the par
don of Udderzook or the commutation of
the death sentence to imprisonment which
are being circulated in the neighborhood
of the crime are skillfully framed, with
the object of catching signatures of all
classes of persons who for different reas
ons do not wish to see the man hanged.
One document is especially intended to
appeal to the sympathies of the Quakers,
and the application of:Mr. Perdue to
Governor Hartranft is based upon the
same reasons the which a new trial was
unsuccessfully asked. It is said, however,
that
• the petitions are getting but few
signers except among the women, and
there appears to be no expectation that
they will meet with a favorable consider
ation at the hands of the Governor or the
Board of Pardons.
A DEArrirta, INCI DENT.—An exchange
says: That was, at least a beautiful sight,
and enough to arrest angelic attention, if
it did not influence Him who sitteth on
the great white throne—we mean the chil
dren at Chester Heights camp-meeting
ground uniting in silent prayer for the
restoration of little Charley Ross to his
parents. Though the prayers were silent
here, we believe they were heard where
the Mayor of Philadelphia's 82,0,000 re
ward can have no influence; and that they
appeal_ to a power which alone can restore
poor, lost Charley Ross., We believe only
God, and the parties immediately con
cerned in the abduction know where the
child is. And if he still lives, it will be
.God's influence on their hearts that will
restore the companion of those who pray
ed fur him last Thursday.

FIRE IN BEDFORD COUNTY.—Tho Ga
zette sayi: On Wednesday night of 'lag
week, the house and barn, and nearly all
the contents of both, including crops, of
of Bedford township, Were
burned. Mr. Hite and his family had re
tired at their usual hourand were awaken
ed, about ll'o'clock by the barking of the
dog. On looking out, they saw a light a
bout the barn. Mr. Hite ran' out at once
and found the barn burning at the North
east corner. In a few moments the flames
had extended to the hay and grain within,
when all hopes of saving the building ceas:
ed. He then turned his attention at once
to saving such articles as he could carry
away. When the barn beoame fully en
-e - -ited the-ch-ai-7--id
veiopedlifitre he turuertTthe - bouse ant
found it burning at ,the Southwest corner
The fire, there too, was so far advanced
thatthere was no hope of saving anything.
His wife and childrn were hurried out and
a f,wr articles they picked up on their
way out of the building, worth less than
$5O, was all that was saved. Both build
ings were destroyed, with contents. The
summer crop was partly in the barn, be
side some 25 or 30 bushels of old wheat.
- The fire is suppsed to have been the work
of an incendiary. The loss was fully cov
ered by insurance.
A. T. STEWART'S Ma. BROWN.—Eve
rybody who has shopped at Stewart's
knows the good looking, the affable, the
portly, the well-dressed, and the gentle
manly Mr. Brown, who paces up and down
the spacious apartment amid rustling silks
and 'gorgeous merinos day - d
day out,
year in and year out, always polite, genial,
comfortable and happy. John Brown is
ihe_most_experiencediloor,walkeofffew_
York. He knows almost every fashiona
ble woman cf the city, and he •also knows
how much it is safe to trust- each- one.
There are some who run a bill—say from
who are allowed to go as deep as $lO,OOO,
and then there are a few whose account
may reach $20,000 before a bill is pre
sented. When these ladies trade heavy
bills the clerk sends the amount on a piece
of paper to Mr. Brown, whose pencil at
once marks approbation or refusal. Hence
- it - is-of great importance with 'this class
whether they keep on good terms with the
autocrat. If a fashionable woman wants
a $l,OOO shawl how delightful is the '
ap
proving pencil mark! If the latter be
averse, what a cruel disappointment !
Mr. Brown has almost broken some hearts
by refusals of this nature, and' hence I
Fear he has much to answer for. .
AerA swindle was perpetrated on Wed
nesday of last week, on Jacob &blotter
beck, a farmer, residing near Hagerstown,
Washington county. Two men stopped
at his house, professing to be in search
of a farm, and after they had insinuated
themselves into the good graces of Mr.
.Schlotterheck by their genial manners,
their confederate made his appearance.
He was hard up and in want of moneys
having just arrived in this country, and
his effects were all in the hands of the cus
tom house officers in Baltimore. He had
two gold watches and chains, on which he
was anxious to get a loan of $3OO. One
of the visitors after examiniug them offer
ed to buy'them from him, and give him
the $3OO cash; this however ho refused,
and'finally Mr. Scblotterbeck loaned him
the money. Shortly afterward a neigh
bor suggested that the watches and chains
might not be worth the amount, and hav
ing taken them.to a jeweler, Mr. E was
informed that they were worth about
$lO. Fruitless search for the swindfers
has been made.
VALUABLE DURHAM Cows KILLED BY
LIGHTNING.—During the thunder storm
of the 11th of July, three valuable thor
oughbred Durham Cows belonging to
Lewis Sniveley, of Clearspring District.
were struck by lightnig in the pasture
.field and Idled. Their average weight
was about 1600 lbs.each, and one of them
was one of Mr. Snively's choice cows worth
$5OO. The raising of the fine short
horned stock is the business to which Mr.
Snively devotes his principal attention,
and this is the second loss of the kind he
has sustained, two of his blooded cows hav
ing been killed by lightning last year, as
then reported. The three cows stricken
down on the lltlywere about twenty feet
apart as they lie dead in the field.—Mail.
se Rochester, N. Y. paper tells of a
hog which at the time of its purchase whet.
it was two years old, weighed 750 pounds.
Now it weighs 1,030 pounds, and the fol
lowing are its dimensions as taken by a
gentleman from that city : Length, 8 feet
inches ; height, 3 feet 9 inches, and
girth 7 feet 2} inches. The hind leg, just
above the hoof, measures 10 inches iu cir
cumference. The hog, is, after an, not
fat, being only in good running order.—
The owners compose a stock company,
who purchased the bog for the sole pur
pose of seeing how big and fat they could
make him. In the fall they will "fat"
him and make him, if possible, pull the
scales at 1,500 pounds.

FISHERMEN'S LUCK.—Several parties
from this place have been on fishing ex
cursions of late. Last week two citizens
who had bated in the evening 140' hooks
returned in the morning with two small
eels. Another party reports an adventure
with a "big eel." These two persons it
appears bad about the same number of
hooks Out, In addition to five eels cap
tured, they had so tar Secured about a
"four pounder" as to get it on shore, and
although one of them threw his weight
upon it., the other taking a vigorous hold
of the slimy and much coveted prize, it
succeeded in freeing itself front both and'
regained the water. They talk of retriev
ing their reputation as fishermen, but say
the next time they will take the "dark of
the moon" for it.
HORSE CROKED.—On Friday last Mr.
Henry Lecron, of the Marsh, had a horse,
a very valuable brown mare, to choke
while eating oats. To relieve the animal
he wrapped with calico a stick and forced
it into her throat, but in the effort to re
move the stick it was broken, a piece a
bout eighteen inches long remaining in
her throat. In this situation the mare
was• brought to Dr. Bowls in this place.
He first tried to remove the stick with a
pair of pinchers, but failing he forced his
arm down her throat beyond his elbow
and finally succeeded in getting a suffi
cient hold upon it to draw it out. The
Dr. thus saved the life of a valuable ani
mal, but in the effort had his hand and
arm considerably scarred.
ADVERTISING.—The season for . adver
tising real estate is once more at hand.—
Persons 'wishing to dispose of properties
at public or private sale will find the
Record a profitable advertising medium,
its circulation within five and six miles
of Waynesboro' being more general than
that of any other paper. The benefits of
newspaper advertising is very generally
admitted, but au individual is occasion
ally to be met with so old-timed and out
of place in his conception of things as to
require nothing more than a few posters
fur the sale of a valuable property, whilst
the same advertisement in the newspaper
would pass through the hands of a couple
thousand reade:s. Some business men are
alike short-sighted in this respect. The
opportunity is . afibrded them to let the
world and the "rest of mankind" know
what they are doing or what they propose
doing, but they fail to embrace it. -
THE SHOW.—Ou Wednesday of last
week the "big show" attracted a large
crowd of persons to town, the "berry train"
included, of course. Those.who witnessed
the exhibition of animals and the circus
performance pronounced it the best show
that had been around for years. The
steam organ, the Operonicpn, seemed the
novelty of the occasion, judging from the
Naf - withzt=nrling
the scarcity of money both exhibitions
were crowded.

Tim }Rms.—The potato bugs instead
of diminishing as the season advances are
said to be largely on the increase. 'Where
they were,not molested the vines are al
most entirely divested of leaves. There
appears to be no foundation in fact for
the assertion that they confine their dep
redations in the same locality to only three
years. It is stated that they have infest
ed certain $ arts of the AVesefor more than
a half dozen years. The only remedy
seems to be in a war of extermination.
To MILLERS.—We call the attention
of our millers to the fact that P. Shubart,
general agent for the sale of the Diamond
Millstone Dresssing Machine will Le at
the Bowden House, in this place,in a day
or two, when those who have not procur
ed machines can be supplied. Several
in our neighborhood have made purchases
and after testing the machine recommend
it very highly. It is claimed to save as
much as $2OO to a single Miller in one
year besides being a great saving of time.
HOTEL CHANGE.-Mr. M. G. Minter
a few days since disposed of the furniture,
etc. belonging to the Waynesboro' HOtel
to Mr. John A. Barr. On Tuesday the
latter took possession of the . house, Mr.
Minter and family occupying the one va
cated by Mr. Barr. With a little expe
rience Mr. B. will no doubt make a very
agreeable and popular.landlord.
FIRE.-Ou Friday night last, a grain
and straw stack belonging to Wm. Adams,
Esq. near Upton, was discovered to he on
fire. Mr. Adams had been thrashing out
his grain with a steam thrasher on the
day before, and the fire was first discover
ed about 11 or 12 o . clock—and before the
flames had reached the barn and its con
tents, which together with the Seperator,
was saved from the flames. Some circum
stances connected with the fire lead to the
suspicion that it was the work of an in
cendiary. Mr. Adams loss is about $3OO.

A MAN CUT HIS THROAT. — An inquest
was held over the body of a mm by the
name of John Shaffer, by Coroner McCal
lin last evening. He was foUnd about 4
o'clock in the afternoon with his head al
most severed from his body. After hear
ing the testimony in the case, the jury
rendered a verdict of death by suicide.—
Deceased was forty fears old, and leaves
a wife and seven children. He is a pol
isher by trade, and &ing out of employ
ment, he become low spirited, which prob
ably led him to commit the rash act.
The above is from the Pittsburg Tele
graph of Thursday evening. We have
since learned that the unfortunate at one
time resided in this place, was a son of
the widow Shaffer, and brother-in-law, of
Mr. Adam Hamilton of Altoona. Mr.
Shaffer learned the polishing trade with
Mr. Lewis Wamplcr and afterward work
ed under Mr. Philip Evans, at the uld
Lemnos axe factory.— Opinion..
HORSE THIEF ARRESTED.—RecentIy a

John Kissecker, of Antrim township.—
Detective M. W. Houser, of this place,
succeeded in capturing the supposed thief
one day last week in Virginia, who proves
so be one Charley Saylard. Charley is

wan reference to the great rain storm
noticed in our last issue, the Pittsburg
Dispatch. says :
The Storm. at Pittsburg. —" Nothing
could resist the awful volume of rushing,
seething water. Substantial brick houses
crumbled when it struck them as if they
had been made of sand ; frame buildings
were lifted from their foundations, borne
along on the angry current, and dashed
to pieces against other buildings which
vainly obstructed their course. In some
instances foundations were undermined
and buildings sunk down in sand debris
to the second story. So resistless was the
torrent that nothing in its path escaped
destruction—houses, fences, bridges, trees,
all going down before it, and combining
to constitute a scene of ruin such as none
had ever witnessed . before, and such as
we hope we may never look upon again.
But great as was the destruction of
property, it is nothing in view of the loss
of human life. Of those who retired to
rest on Sunday evening in the stricken
districts more than two hundred were pal
lid corpses when the 'morning light broke
upon the dreadful scene. More than a
score - of - little - children, wh on - Sunday
night, kneeling at their mother's knee
lisped "Now I lay me down to sleep,"
realized the full significance of the peti
tion ere morning broke, their bodies when
found being in many instances dreadfully
disfigured; their delicate limbs 'gashed and
broken, their beautiful tresses disheveled
and intermixed with loathsome accretions.- 1
Oh ! it was a spectacle to make streng
men weep and sympathetic women trem
ble and turn, fainting away. In some
cases entire families were swept from their
beds,-their_houses_falling_in_ruins upon
them, and all lost together."
We see it announced, that the._Faculty
of Lincoln University has conferred the
Hon. title of L. L. D. on the Rev. Edward
W. Bladen, President of Liberia College,
Africa. If we mistake not this is the first
time this title has been confeL red on a col
ored man ; and it has rarely been confer.
red on white clergymen prior to that of
D. D. There was quite a flourish of trum
pets a year or so ago when this was given.
to a President of a Pa. College who had
been D. D. for many years. In the days
of Drs. Witherspoon, Dwight, Livingston,
White and Milldollar, the title of D. D.
denoted a man of strong mind, true piety
and extensive erudition; but in these lat
ter days the D. D.'s have become so nu
merous in certain circles that the title has
sunk•into contempt. Like the staple 'of
certain dairymen it has been diluted 'till
rendered worthless. It is not uncommon
now to find fops and pedants with a string
of titles, including D. D. as long as the
candle appendage of a,Mozambique mon
key, with about equal claims to piety or
erudition, firming some of tile strongest
