MAUCII CHUNK was thrown Into a great
:xeltement recently over the report of a child
murder In the house of one of the most prominent
citizens. A post merlon exasulnation of the dead
body of the Infant revealed the fact that It was
stuffed with ettvdust.
The above paragraph, which, condensed from
local In the Mauch Chunk Democrat,• originall3
appeared In this paper, seems to have considerable .
Importance attached to it. It is astonishing with
what avidity newspapers grasp at mysterious af.
fairs, especially as the "clippers" least have
known that In the case cited above the victim was
a doll baby. It has had a place in nearly every
paper In the State.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. Last
week nigh Constable Iloflord was arrested on com
p' lint of his sureties, on the charge of embezzling
city, bounty and dog taxes. He wee taken before
Alderman Stabler, and released upon giving bail
In the amount of $6,000, tohave a further hearing
on the first of October.. In the meanwhile his
accounts will be examined. It is not known
whether he has misapplied the taxes or failed to
collect the amounts given into his hands. If the
latter is the case, and the taxes aro thereby lost to
the city, his sureties will be liable without, we
suppose, implicating him in the charge preferred.

THE STATE FAin.—The Eighteenth Annual
Exhibition of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural
Society, nt Scranton, to commence on the 27th in

the most Interesting exhibitions the society line

the Fair a success. A large space of ground has
been carefully prepared and enclosed, abundantly
supplied with water, and easy of access. Numer
ous buildings have been erected, spacious tents
put up, an amphitheatre constructed to seat 1,000
persons, and many other valuable arrangements
made for the convenience and comfort of both the
exhibitor and visitor. A number of special ne
cOmmodations have been made for the success of
every'departtnent, in the working of machinery,
dm. It is thought that the Simi hall will be un
usually attractive. Those who have never wit
nessed the operations in a great coal and ikon die
strict will soon have an excellent opportunity, and
at the same time be enabled to attend what bids
fair to be the most Interesting and successful ex
hibition of the Pennsylvania Stnte Agricultural
Society.

From Pally Chronicle of Thursday.
The preparations for the celebration of the sec
ond anniversary of Carroll C1)1111C11; 0. U. A. M.,
have occupied the time and attention of both orders
In this city for several weeks and have been at
tended with considerable labor and expense.
Those of the order who were up with the lark this
morning must have experienced pangs of disap.
I:ointment at the threatening aspect of the weather.
The sky Wad overcast with dense clouds, and u
thick mist enveloped every oltiect In dummies..
But the :ardor of the Mechanics was not to be
dampened. Tire streets soon were alive with tint•
formed Senior and Jilt:tors hastening to their places
of rendezvous. and before long the City resounded
with the tnnsie of arriving delegations escorted by
the inarshals through Hamilton street. Before
ten o'clock, the rays of the sun forced their way
through the clouds and gave token of a beautiful
day trial a magnificent parade. The hearts of the
Mechanics grew lighter and everything bore evi
dence that the 22(1 of September would be a day

The Philadelphia At:legation was expected to

thronged the ,route over which the procession
passed was immense. A gentleman who counted
them informs us there were 050 men in the ranks,
11 Winds, 3 drum corps, and 17 Assistant Mar

READING AFFAIRS.
REAnitio. Sept. 20—The Stars of Allentown
were here on Saturday last,lo play the Sehut
kill. The weather, however, proved tuafavor•
able and put an cud to the game at the second
inning. It could he easily observed that the
Stars handle the ball in an expert and graceful
manner. A remarkable featu:•e is the profound
coolness with which they take things. This
is probably owing to the fact of their being old
players. The Schuylkill being one of the best
amateur clubs in the State, will give them a
tight rub when the next game comes off.
From the playing on Saturday, it 'was impos.
sible to discern which would be mostlikely
to Win. it is hoped the Dune may be played
this season. • •
The Chapel at the Polling Mill, built by
the First Presbyterian Church or this city, o as
dedicated on Sunday last. Rev. Earle, of
Catasaugmt, participtded•in the exercises.
The Republican ward meetings were held
last night and nominated the city ticket. All
of the nominees are strong men, and will no
doubt defeat their opponents in the coming
election.
A fitting memorial designed and executed
by the well known sculptor, Mr. F. Herman
Strecker, of this city, has been sent to the
Lehigh University. It is a tablet of Carara
marble, upon which is skillfully' cut the like
ness of time late Gen. Kelm, whose representa
tiveslr,:ue.-presented the University with a
valuable collection of minerals. Mr. Strecker
is gaining a reputation as an accomplished ar
list. Ills works which adorn and beautify the
Charles Evans Cemettiry cannot but impress
all who see them.
There is to. he a large e ccursion from this
city to Allentown on Thurs(4ty next, on the
occasion of the parade of the Mechanics.

I'tuse IIN 11111.0 t•t' A TowN IN Timm Yesirs.—
Three years ago a gentleman named George 11.
stein,or moiled means, but an energetic,thorough
going fellow, kid the foundation for a car factory
in the vicinity of the residence of Judge Laubach,
in Allen township, Northampton county. A part
nership was formed composed of George 11. Stem
and William Stem. Afterward Mr. Frederick
Lerch, formerly a carriage -builder In Easton, was
Oaken Into the lirm, which Is known as George 11.
Stem & Co. A farm of 51 acres belonging to
Henry Bail, b:sq., was purchased for $23,000 foul
eft up into lots. Ily the 18th of November, 1867,
the buildings were up and ready for operation, con
sisting of a substantial stone house, with slate
roof 150 feet long and 60 feet wide. As the busi
ness increased, It was necessary to enlarge the
main workshop, which Is now 210 feet by 80, with
a stnith shop 72 feet by GO, and a repair shop 28
feet by 100.
The firm at present employ on an 'average 150
hands and turn out front 10 to 12 finished coal and
ore ears a day. The establishment looks like an
Immense bee hive. A capital of $lOO,OOO is em
ployed and the work turned out is the best quality
In all respects. In and. around the factory are
great piles ()Climber, iron, coolant' other material
needed in the prosecution Of the business and every
thing Is managed in the most systematic manner.
About $7OOO per month is paid out te hands, and
three and a hall tolls °limn used every day, be
sides tell thousand feet of oak lumber, which Is
mostly purchased In Lycomingand Montour coun
ties, Pennsylvania. On an average three tons of
castings' are turned out every day. The company
have taken a contract to build 01)0 ears for the
Jefferson Car Company, which they are now Oiling
with all itosslble dispatch.
To nee•on u nndate one hundred and Ilfty hands,
besides proprietors, book-keepers, &c., of course
houses were needed, and around the works, on an
elevated site, commanding a beautiful view of the
Lehigh Gap, and the adjacent hues tip and down
the river, has sprung up a respectable town, which
lan been christened Stemtriu—after the founder of
the place. Wide streets have been laid out and
34 houses have already been erected Including 8
elegant large modern double residences, which
only need a little ornamentation to render them
IY-autifill. The houses for the worlitnen hire been
erected by themselves, and arc roomy and com
fortable lien and three story buildings, 45 by 55, 3
stories high.
A One large hotel 11118 been erected, which Is
Well kept by Mr. Heilman, and the probabilities
are that before another year passes away it church
will he added. There Is not a saloon In the place,
and the Inhabitants say they are willing to dis
pense with all such establishments. They claim
to be au orderly, sober people. There Is a One
opening there for a Building Association. We
do not believe it will be many years before a City
charter will he nee.'ed and our friend Barry Stem
may he the first Mayor of Stetutop.
The progress this entire region has made with
in the last tell years is really wonderful.. Imbue
diately.opposite aro the Lehigh Valley Iron Works,
around which quite a town has sprung tip. Tim
now bridge of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Co., crosses here, and a very substantial and band
-5011111 structure they have made or it. A large
population Is employed in the vlelalty,la the man
ufacture of Iron, cement, lime, flour, &c„ and
the whole community Is made up of working peo
ple. There are no drones.
Those of us who live ten years longer will Bee
pretty much a eouthiumm city from Easton to
Munch Chunk, and fitemton we predict will not
ho among the least of the towns of the Lehigh
Volley.—A rots:.

with a rattlesnake, was bitten In one of hie hands.

TILAOEDY IN THE COAL REOIONS.—MUII
inut DV A Mils:Mt.—The Pottsville Miners' Journal
of Thursday says:—Between four and live o'clock
on Monday evening a shooting affray: occurred at
WWest's tavern, on Broad Mountain, Porter' town
ship, about five miles from Tremont, In which a
young Irishman, named James Kane, was shot
twice by an Irlshman, n amed Michael Purcell, the
particulars or which are related to us as follows:
During the earlier part of Nionday a party of
miners and another party of men engaged at work
n the extension of the Lorberry Railroad, em
ployed by lessrs. MeGrant & Fitzpatrick, .son
tractors, ail of whom had been paid off on Satur
day previous, met at Wiest's tavern, where they
mingled together during the day, drinking and
enjoying themselves as best, they could. During
the afternoon, Kane got Into difficulty with two
or three of the miners, when hard words were ex
changed and a tight appeared ImMeta. At this
tincture Knue's friends remonstrated with him
gainst raising a tight and prevailed upon him to
mire the house and let the matter drop. Kane
left the house with his ❑lends and had not pro
ceeded far down the road before Purcell, as a
friend of the parties with 'whom Kane had had
the altercation, came out of the house and tired
two shots front a revolver at hint, both of which
took effect—one in the abdomen sod the other in
the arm—from the effects of which he died at S
o'clock on the following morning, uotwithstand
ing Dr. Brandt of Tremont, was summoned Inn
medlately and 'Tilden(' every possible medical aid.
On Tuesday morning n Warrant Was issued by
Squire Bechtel, and placed,in the hands of Con
stable David Rank, for Purcell's arrest. An the
constable neared the house Purcell discovered him
1111E1 linincillately ran out and escaped In the woods.
Constable Rank went into the house and assured
Pureell's wife that he did not wish to arrest her
husband, but that he merely had a summons for
him to appear as a witness In the ease, and that us
soon as he returned she should tell him to appear
at the Justice's Miler. Doubtless, seeing the con
stable leave the house Purcell returned, and, after
hearing what was wanted, the husband and wife
hn med lately started for the office, at which place
he was arrested and held until after the Coroner's
inquest—which ' was also held by Squire Bechtel,
and a verdict rendered lit accordance with the
bore facts—when he was ordered to he conveyed
to the Schuylkill county prison to await trial on
the charge of murder. The prisoner was brought
to Pottsville by Constable David Rank, and Mr.
John A. Salem, yesterday morning, and duly com
mitted to Jail, where he awaits trial for the alleged'
crime nt the October Criminal Court.

TAKE YouJt OWN PAPER.—A contempo
rary very Justly remarks that every Republir•all
ought to take his own city and county paper. If
he loves Republican principles lie surely call af
ford four cents a week to spread them. The cost
of paper is no excuse for not taking one. There
Is not a week passes but that live times four cents
arc spent foolishly, which might have been much
better Invested In a newspaper. Two dollars a
year Invested In it newspaper buys more marling
matter than twenty dollars will purchase in the
shape of books. A man may read hooks all his
life, but if he fails to read the papers, he may be
called ignorant. Without a newspaper a man is
virtually out of the world.
