rushed in but were paralyzed by the awful sight
which greeted them and were rendered powerless
to aid the mother. Some men hearing the screams
rushed In and smothered the burning clothes of the
infant and saved the mother from' the fate of the
child, us her clothes had taken lire and her hand
, and hair had been burned. Other men rushed up
stairs and found the crib burning and the flumes
communicating to the carpet. 'they quickly sub
dued the flames.

SUICIDE FOR Loam —The Wilmington
Commercial of Tuesday evening says : About six
weeks ago a young man named Thomas Legg, re
siding In Queen Anne's county, near Templer ille,
committed suicide which was duly chronicled In
the Commercial. He shot himself In the heart,
but lived long enough to tell why he committed
thu rash act. The information has been suppressed
by the parents of Legg until a few days ago, when
thoy became desirous for Its publication. This Is
the assigned reason :
Ile was devotedly attached to a young lady in
the neighborhood, who taught scho3l near his
father's premises. lie felt, however, that one or
two other suitors stood much higher in her favor
than himself, and he feared to make his attach
ment known, lest he be rejected. The matter so
distressed hint as to make his life miserable, and
he sought relief in death.
Tice young lady, whose name we withhold, was
the first to reach him after he shot himself, and,
when she asked him why he did so rash an act,
he replied, " for you, dearest." Whether he
so arranged the time that she might see him, we
are not advised. She sects unaware Of the extent
of his affection, It seems.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCiDENT—THRER MEN
KILLED.—AO accident occurred on Wednesday
morning on the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad, at Nianunka Chunk; which was
caused through the carelessness of a brakeman.
Three lives were lost and four persons severely In
jured. The facts In the ease, as far as we ha ye
been able to ascertain, are an follows : The curly
up freight train on the D. L. W. R. R. bad to
drill some stock off at Bridgeville; the conductor
had cut the cars behind the stock and told the
brakeman to hold them while they were shifting
the cars; but In stead'of the brakeman doing as he
was told, he laid down and went to sleep, and the
cars commenced running down the grade clear
back through the tunnel at Manunka Chunk, and
an they got opposite the station at Manunka Chunk
they were run into by a down coal train, smashing
the caboose and one or two coal cars. The fug
was so thick that the engineer of the down coal
train did not see them until he ran IMO them. We
understand there were six drovers In the caboose,
who had stock on the train, three of whom were
killed outright and three wounded. Thu engineer
of the coal train was wounded slightly. The brake
man has left for parts unknown. Thu dead were
put in the depot at Manunka Chunk and the
wounded taken to the house of Mr. Fox, the agent
at that pinch, and are being cared for by the phy
sicians of Belvidere.. Capt. Tunis, Juitlee of the
Peace of Belvidere, Is to hold, an inquest on the
dead this afternoon. There Is very little hOpe of

EPISCOPAL Council GROWTH ON THE LE
mau.—Rov. Leighton Coleman, rector of St.
11Iuk's Church, Mauch Chunk, has the following
in The Register of his parish for September :
"The growth of the Church in the Lehigh re
gion, commencing at Easton, and terminating at
White Haven, (including Hazleton and Ecklcy)
since 1950 but a trifle over ten years—has been
most remarkable and encouraging. Having occa
sion the other day to consult the convention Jour
nals In reference to It, I felt sure that a few sta
tistics would interest you. Indeed, they are espe
cially Interesting to the members of this parish,
since to her members in the exercise of their varied
talents, more than to these of any parish, in this
prosperity, under God, chiefly nttributable. We
say this in all humility, and yet In all thankful
ness ; for It is something that should cause the de
voutest gratitude to know that we, by our gifts,
Influence, and other personal co-operation
have been enabled to accomplish so much
for the glory of God and the good of Ills
church.. During the period already men
tinned, there have been erected nine church build
ings, or, on an average, nearly one every year.
Will; the exception of the two nt Easton and
Ntnuch,Chunk, all these churches have been the
result 'of entirely new enterprises ' so that there .
have been in the value time six distinctly new
parishes focused. On the 00th ult., I had the
privilege of attending the laying of a corner-stone
of a new church for what will be nn independent
parish at Bethlehem, which will snake the tenth
building within this lime befere the year closes.
In the absence of several reports, I am unable to
give exactly the figures of other departments of
growth, but I think I an: entirely safe (allowing
the average in the less Instances where reports are
not at Inn I) is saying that dm log this same pe
riod there have been 1,031 persons baptised, 633
bereons confirmed, 600 new communicants added
(no: counting those added by removal,) and an
increase of 0.) new teachers and 900 new pups in
the Sunday Schools. .For purposes connected
with the church, there have been contributed not
lees than *250,000. -This dots not include many
sums which have been so reported, amongst
them the more than $500,000 given to the Lehigh
nivershy."

bore him heavenward. This (lariat; adventuto he
afterwards repeated when up so high that his po
sition could be barely discerned with the naked
eye. Ile also performed sundry other matmeuvers,
and when up at his greatest height, apparently
about three-quarlers ore mile, scattered thousands
of a;:vertising circulars in the air, which looked
like fluttering birds in their descent. In about
twenty minutes after he had gone up, the balloon,
which Is of mail size, commenced to descend rap
idly, when the aeronaut threw out his light anchor
lulu two hundred feet of rope, together with some
provisions and wearing apparel. This cased the
descent, and the balloon fell very gradually, coal
ing down over the house of Mr. Henry Counard,
jr., on the Ceutre turnpike, half way to the Cem
etery. The apparatus came within a few feet of
I striking the cupola, and gracefully descended into
an apple tree, rebounding and then coming down
again in it held on the opposite side of the road.
A large crowd of persons, who had followed from
the city, witnessed the descent, and assisted the
Professor in securing the balloon.
Donaldson Is a man utterly Without fear la mat
ters of this character, and does not consider such
feats in the least dangerous if the apparatus Is all
right. Others are of It different opinion, and we
have reason to believe that the authorities would
not permit another ascension here like that of yes
terday, If the reckless wronaut should be Inclined
to attempt R.—Reading Times.
REPORT OF THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
—The report of Superintendent E. J. Young shows
a very favorable progress In the cause of common
school education. Throughout the county new
school buildings have been erected which show,
In their construction a proper regard for conveni
ence and for the health and comfort of the pupils.
The taxes for the past three years, for building
purposes, amount t 0 .5132,000 ; for fuel, $30,000,
and f‘ a-Instruction $145,000 was expended, mak
ing a total of $307,000 Daring the same period
thirty•seven new buildings were erected, that num
ber being about one-fifth of the whole number of
school buildings In the county. The majority of
these buildings are conspicuous for their beauty
and the excellence of the plans of construction,
as well as for the care shown in providing them •
with proper furniture.
The.Superinteudent says " the present year new
school buildings were put up in the following
Wets, viz:—South Whitehall, 1 ; Hanover, 1 ;
Whitehall, 1 ; Lower Macungie, 1 ; Upper Macun
gie, S ; North Whitehall, 1 ; Washington, S ; and
Lowhill, 2; all of which nre brick, with the ex
ception of thgse in Lowhill, which are frame. The
first, strictly speaking, rural E r tiled school is found
In Whitehall district, and hail been very successful.
The house was built the present yearend is known
by the name of " Steckel's school houSe." It Is
about 32 to Gj feet, well built and all the rooms
furnished with patent. desks. It is located at the
edge of a beautiful grove, mid-way between Allen
town and Catasauqua,—which places are three
miles apart,—and is an honor to the enterprising
board. The new school house at Griesemersville,
in South Whitehall, Is %forth) , of mention ; as are
also those erected lu Hanover, at East Undasauqua,
In Washington and In North Whitehall, all of
which are furnished with patent desks. The ones
In Upper and Lower. Macungie are substantial
buildings, but are not finished with patent desks.
The one erected in North Whitehall is very appro
priately named the' Model School,' on account of
Its convenience and superior finish. We cab
heartily recommend this building us a 'model,' to
directors hi other districts, who are about putting
,p new school houses."

on the crossing on Seventh street at Centre Square.
The wagon contained broken stone for macada

shaped pyramid on the crossing. We never saw
anything so much admired. Nearly everybody
promenading the thoroughfare slopped and con
templated the magnificent plle with feelings of
gratitude to the policemen who so kindly permit

even went down on thlr hands and knees, as

WILLIAM TELL OUTDONE. —ShICO hearing of
a little transaction at Newton the other day, the
truth of which is vouched for by the best authority,
we are prepared to believe all the William Tell
stories extant. A party of four young men had
been out gunning, and upon returning to town
found an Itinerant Italian Image peddler in the
street,who they directed to stand on certain num
ber of paces, and keep the rack of Images upon
the, top of his head while they shot them off. The
poor fellow protested against ouch a proceeding—
cried, begged and plead to he let off—but all to no
effect. Ile was compelled to stand the test, and
did so until the gunners had shot the last Image
away front over his head. Not content with this
outrage, they then refused to pay the Italian for
the damage done, and he was compelled to leave
town a very poor man. This Is a stain upon the
fair name of Newtown, and if there organy respec
tors of law and order within Its borders, the men
who could be guilty of soch an unprovoked and
ineveitsable outrage upon humanity should Go ex
posed by them, and the villains turned MT t 0 tho
criminal court for punishment.—Xincre Journal.
THE A BOARD 011`
As °elation meets With its Executive Committee
on the third Monday of Septeinberi for the purpose
of considering such subjects as maybe indented
(or Its con , dderation by the Executive Committee,
❑ud for suggesting, to the Executive Committee
sects subjects as may be deemed Important for prc
tooting the trade, commerce and business Interest
of Allentown.
The host 'fleeting of the Executive Committee,
held Au gu-t 11th, tine one of special interest. The
Committee for the Month !ndo the following lin
portant suggestions, all of which were referred to
the appropriate committees.
The Committee on Taxation—Messrs. A. Keel:,
M. A. Selpic, A. Welter—were Instructed to in
quire Into the expediency of having the License
lt.:vehue &rut the sale of liquors passed Into the
treasury attic county, Instead of being held by the
Slate as at present.
To the Committee on Transportation—Messrs.
J. It. Schutt, J. Roth and 11. Sehnurtnan—were
referred several matters affecting the Interests of
freight. Sfatemtents' were made showing that
great injustice Is done to various Impart:tut Inter
ests of home trade and maimfacture by the exist
lug st tic of freight schedules. Our manufactur
ing and. trading Interests arc suffering front the
fact that !rem the West to this point the same
rates are charged us to New York and Philadel
phia, while from Allentown to the Interior, freights
—with less mileage—were often hi4her thaw for
the above cities. Particular attention was direct
ed
to the ruinous limed& of certain manufactur
ing establishments of Allentown, compelling con-
Bunters here to pay Nett Yolk and Philadelphia
quotatious without making allowance for the dif
ference of freight.
The attention of the Committee on M.LllllfaCt.UM'
—Messrs. J. K. Mosier, 11. Leh, Jr., and D. 0.
Saylor—was directed to the necessity of increased
facilities for all classes of manufacturing interests,
Thu Executive Committee favored the establish
ment of a woolen : mill at Allentown. Favorable
views were presented for urging the necessity of
encouraging all well directed efforts calculated to
advance the interests of our different classes of la
boring people. It Was considered important that
advantages should be given for varied labor. The
establishment of woolen and cotton mills should
be encouraged, for without such and similar estab
lishments, an opportunity Is presented for much
labor now tiecesdarily
Rich sp. cheeps of iron ore were presented to the
Board. '1 nese presentations introduced the Idea
of securing other valuable collections of minerals
and rare EpeeiMell9. The Committee on Furniture
was Instructed to procure suitable shelving for pre
serving awl ex hibillog the collections.
The Committee on Vulcanite Pavement,appoint
ed at a former meeting to investigate the merits of
this new pavenieut;presented the following report.
The repo' I, after reading, was on motion ordered
to be spread NMI the urinates :
" Your Committee on Vulcanite Pavemcnt beg
leave to report as follows—At the request of parties
connected with the manufactumund introduction
of this pavement, the committee proceeded to Phil
adelphia for the purpose of fully Investlgatlug the
note of manufacture, the condition and appear-
mice of the concrete, and ascertain tlu durability
and practicability of a street pavement.
" The first point observiM by the Committee was
a pavement in front of Dr. Sehenk's residence in
Green street, between 15th and 15th streets. The
committee was Informed that this pavement was
put down In the full of 1569, between two parts
of tirst-class Nicholson pavement. It presented
au appearance of but little wear, and in comparl.
son with (Imo wooden pavement exhibited very fa
vorably. The wear of the Nicholson pavement
was observable,more especially where. it Joined the
j Vulcanite.
"At James Nugent's stables, 15th nod North
streets; it stable and carriage floor of the Vulcan
ite, said to have been made some two years ago,
was examined. Although in constant use the wear
showed quite favoiably.
The 1110111 examinations were made by the
committee in Fairmount City Park, where the con
struction of the pavement was closely observed.
The pavement Is laid quite rapidly. •By the use of
steam power, the Concrete mixture Is most thor..
°uglily mixed and rapidly effected; It to then
quickly spread upon the prepared substratum and
lolled with heavy iron ro.lers while hot. A great
advantage noticed is that tile pavement is ready
for tt.ie a few hours lifter it is put down ; thus a
block laid 10-day Is ready by tomorrow; so 0105
thorough hares are nut kept obstructed, as Is so
nitwit the case with all other methods of paving
Litherto us td. The Lett of the sun and the heat
of the hot rollers, Instead of softening as might be
supposed, rather hardened, so that la fifteen min-
Ides it would bear walking ou. ' ' . .
," Mule the sAhtity and durability of the Pave
ment 550111 evident, the committee are satisfied
with its claims for cleanliness, sanitary qualities,.
told its superiority as a roadway in the special
points of freed rat from noise and dust. ' .
" In point of locality the committee especially re
fer to the pavement laid around the residences of
Mr: Zraef, litil and Arch, and John Sellers; Sad
:uu Westridludelphia. This work has
all the appearance of a tine North River slab.
" In Belmont avenue, City Park, there was every
evidence of hard usage without noticeable evidence
or wear.

SAD ACCIDENT FROM FlRE.—Friday after
noon a sad accident occurred at 408 Hamilton

and M. Egge the balance of the Louse. Mrs.
Knauss put her little boy aged two years, up
stairs to take a nap and left him asleep. About
two o'clock she saw smoke issuing from the room
and upon rushing up staira found the bed in flames
and the child badly burned about the face, neck
and breast. The child died the same after
noon. It is supposed the ❑re was caused by
the little one playing With matches.
'An alarm was given and the Fire Department
promptly responded, but their services were not
needed. Dr. \ Vol. H. Romig gave the little sufferer
every remedy In his power. The sympathy of the
community Is with the parents in their sad Mille
Pol.loll FOR LINEN.—Add to starch mode
In the usual wily a small lump of white sugar, or
bit'of white was or Spermaceti, or a few . thin
shavings of pure white eastile soap and a tea
spoonful of salt. After the clothes are rinsed In
blue water, (not too blue) starch then,.and dry
on clothes line; then wring them front cold water,
(or sprinkle) roll up tightly, and, theta lie
awhile.. Iron smoothly as Is custorpary„ 'Then
place the bosom, or piece to be 'polished, oa a
board with a single fold of muslin over It, pass a
damp cloth over the lines and Polish with an Iron
made for that purpose (Polishing Iron) such as
can be bought at the hardware stores. Au im
pOrtaut requisite however, is that. you have good
starch, the best Is the Satin Gloss
_Starch sold at
Lowell t Martin''s City Drug Storey No. 722 Ham
ilton street, S, W. corner of Hall street, at least
our lady friends who hove used the starch speak
of it in terms of the highest praise. We advise
good housekeepers and all persons who admini
Immaculate Linen (and who does not ?) to try
the above.
MANY of our young hulks continue wearing
their hair hanging loose over their shoulders. •It
Is a very convenient custom, no doubt, and In ex
ceptional cases a pretty one, but It Is certainly a
dangerous one. An Eh:ln, Illinois, paper thus re
fers to the " condition" of the , young woman who
was Scalped by her hair becotnlrg tangled hi the
machinery of a faetory'at that place " The skin
on her eyes and eyebroWs, Lading become attached,.
is natural, and the physician says he can warrant
the entire head to be covered with Whew skin. Ile
Wends to take skin from herartn and place It upon
her forehead and temples, so that It wilt be Smooth
and natural. Then, with a head of false hair, she
will, hi a few months, again walk the streets of
our bluff city so aPparently het former self that It
will take a close observer to detect the marks of
the frightful accident."
A young lady suffering from such a dl aster, It
will be seen, can be fined up, but we should not
judge the process to be very agreeable.

FIRE—NAIMOW ESCAPE.—The dwelling
house of Wm. Young,near KIM:11mMIle, North
ampton county, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday
night of last week, about midnight. The family
were awakened In time to escape death, but It was
with difficulty that the children were rescued.
The furniture and all the contents were consumed.
No cause for the fire has been assigned. Mr.
Young had an Insurance af $l6OO on his property
which will only partially cover his loss.
TIM most astonishing cure of chronic dknr
rhom we ever heard of Is that of Wm. Clark,
Frankfort Mills, Waldo Co., Maine ; the facts are
attested by Ezra Treat, Upton Treat, and M. A.
Merrill, either of whom might be addressed for
particulars. Mr. Clark, was cured by :Tohnson's
Anodyne Liniment.

SHOCKING DEATH OF A CRILD.-A post
mortem examination was held recently on the
body of a child at Ashley, Luzerne county, Pa.,
two years of age, which had died In great agony.
On the opening of the stomach of the child, In the
coating, with its huge horns firmly embeLided,was
an enormous stag beetle. The only explanation
that could be given as tope manner of the insect
getting Into the stomaoh was that given by the
child's mother, who s‘ated that the night the
child was taken sick, and a few minutes before
the first symptoms, It had asked fora drink. The
mother gave the child a drink from a cup con
taining water, and sitting on a chair beside the
bed. There Is no doubt that one of these horned
beetles had fallen into the cup while dying about
the room.
PEACH SHIPMENT TO INTERIOR PENNSYL
VANIA.—The shipment to Interior Pennsylvania,
over the Wilmington & Reading Railroad, closed
on Wed n esd‘q, the arrangement with the Railroad
Companies having expired on -that day. Our
summary for the season, which we have every rea
son to believe is correct, shows that one hundred
and two cars (51,000 baskets) have been shipped
into Interior Pennsylvania. This exhibit Is truly
gratifying, particularly so when It is remembered
that this is the first attempt at direct commercial
intercourse between the fruit-growers and the peo
ple of the mountain and coal region of the Key
stone State. The shipments this season may be
considered as an introduction, with the promise
of a warm, true-hearted, social acquaintance in
the future. If this shall be accomplished, and we
believe It will, our Wilmington and Reading rail
road will be fulfilling an important expectation of
Ito builders.— ITllniington Commercial.
Bio SCARE.—Last Saturday- morning a
market man, residing at Blandon, while on his
way to this city in a wagon, was frightened nearly
out of his wits by seeing a man hanging by the
neck from the limb of a cherry tree, near Lutz's
blacksmith shop, In Muhlenberg township. Ile
whipped up his horse and drove to Reading In a
hurry,"never stopping to examine the object, and
reported the facts. Thinking that we had a good
subject for a local, we at onec started for the place,
and; upon arriving there, found it to be "a big
sell." It seems that some of the boys in the neigh
borhood have been robbing an orchard and per
forming other pranks which the good little boys
In the Sunday School books never do, and on Fri
day night they procured a suit of old clothing and
au old, hat, which they stuffed and hung on a
