Mr. JtritBsox Davis, it U saiJ,
tuiilcd a thing be Lad not done for
j ears when Le Leard the result of tbe
recent elections.
1'residest Grant has issued a proe
Inuistion reciting the treaty laws with
Turkey and Egypt as to the right of
Americans to hold property under the
governments of those couutrics.
l"ntLAIELPIIIA has 20,(X'0 people
out of employment, and yet last week
tbe number was still iucreaed by a
strike of weavers, fehip carpenters and
coal heavers, ou accouat of a proposed
reduction of wages.
The Champion, publi-Lcd at Atchi
son, Kansas, computes the number of
people in that Slate as destitute of sub-1
fiistence for the coming winter, conse
quent on tha drought and grasshoppers,
at least as many as fifteen thousand.
Licv IIoopkb, iu her 1'aris letter of
the Cth inst., to Forney's Press says
that the tight for a return to simple
styles of women's dress has been a bard
one, but it lias been won. The poli
tiaise has totally disappeared. " Good
tecse dresses hare taken their place."
Tub New York World claims that
the recent elections are a free trade
victory, and that the new Congress that
will assemble next March will have a
majority of free trade members. If
these declarations of the leading news
paper of tbe Democracy on the Atlan
tio coast, is correct, bow can the mis
take of tbe people at the recent elec
tions be estimated ? If it is correct,
Lard times have only begun to dawn. ,
A TfllRl) oandtdate fur the office of
United States Senator is coming prom
inently to public notice. Lion. J. S.
Black is the man. It would be per
fectly proper for the Democracy to
c " '"v"' '"-
benate. lie would be a competent
engineer to eutruft reversible mea
sures to. lie is of that school of Dem
ocracy that argued that the general
government Lad no right to coerce a
State from the position that the South
ern States took iu IbGO and 1861.
Tuev have a queer controversy in
England about the baptism and con
firmation of the Arch-lishop of Can
terbury. The facts are stated as fol
lows :
" Dr. Tait was boru in Scotland, of
1'icsbytcrian parents, who cared little
about baptism. When he was an infaut
he was at one time very ill, and was
supposed to be dying, and he says that
at this time his nurse, an old Scotch
woman, baptized Liiii. This baptism
would be a good one, even in the eye
of the Catholic Church, if it were done
with the proper iutention and with the
essential words. lSut no evideuce ex
ists of these facts, and nc other bap
tism was ever administered to the child,
who is now Arch Uishop of Canter
bury. When he grew up to be a young
man he became an Episcopalian, and
when he was a student at lialliol, Ox
ford, he was confirmed by Bishop l!agot.
After the confirmation the Bishop
learned that Mr. Tait had never beeu
baptized save iu tbe way just described.
The Bishop sent for biro in great dis
tress. Mr. Tait," said be, " confirm
ation cannot be duly given to any one
who has not been validly christened.
I have confirmed you in ignorance ; go
and be baptized for security's sake, and
tLen come to me again for confirma
tion." Mr. Tait declined to do any
thing of the kind, and thus tbe case
stands."
A CniSE Mandarin, named Wcng
Chin Fo, lectured in tbe Academy of
Music in Philadelphia, last Thursday
evening. Subject " Life and Doc
trines of Confucius." The Press rep
resents bun telling who Confucius was,
and the cardinal points of his teaching,
in the following langnage :
"Coufucius, he said, is believed by
the lower classes of China to have been
a supreme being, but amoDg the schol
ars he is believed to have been a wise
and good man. lie was supposed to
Lave teen born of a virgin, and at Lis
birth inesengers from Heaven presided.
At six years of age he was distinguished
for Lis intellect, veneration for the aged,
and regard for propriety. At tbe age
of fourteen he was appointed to a high
position by tbe Emperor, but when he
grew to manhood and observed with
sorrow the low condition of the people
and the corruption which existed in the
government, Le retired from bis high
place and denied himself all the plea
sures and honor of tbis world in order
that be might be able to labor fur the
good of mankind, He did not carry
bis religion out among all classes of
people ; Le believed that tbe low coolies
could not understand the principles be
vis-bed to inculcate in bis teachings ;
Le therefore preached to the intellec
tual and cultured classes, and at bis
death lire hundred Mandarins were bis
followers. Confucius taught five car
dinal principles gravity, propriety,
sinceiity, virtue, and filial piety."
The Nebraska State Aid Society an
thorizas the statement that they em
ploy no agents to collect money or sup-
. plies for the grasshopper sufferers cf
that State. Its asents act only through
branch societies. , ,

Execution of tlie .Montrose
murderers.
The cxecntion of Dar.ii I O'Ma.a and Pat
rick Irving, for the wilful murder of Mrs.
Hargar.-t O'Uara, aged svventy-tns years,
and her daughter Mary, aged twenty-four
years, took place at Montrose, Pnnehan
na county, at half-past ten o'clock oa the
morning uf tbe 12th inst.
The crime for w hich they were executed
was committed on the morning uf Septem
ber 27, 178, at O'Mara's home, almut two
miles from Montrose station, on the line of
the line of the Dx law are, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad.
Daniel O'Mara was required to snpport
his mother and sister during their lives,
after which he wouM inherit the small farm
upon which they lived, valued at two thou
sand dollars. Daniel was not sa'i&tied v. ith
litis arrangement, so he determined to get
rid of them and secure tbe property at once.
Patrick Irving was (KMara's hired man. It
was suid ho wiahed to :uanv Mary O'.'Jra,
but she did not favor his suit.
The bodies of ilrs. O'Mara and daughter
were discovered early on the morning of
the day above mentioned, lying on tho
right-hand side of tho southern-bound
track, a short distance south of tho Mon
trose depot. . The ban.l and lower part of
the arm was severed from the body, an d
lay abont eleven feet above and on the
other side of the rail. No blood was found
near the bodies, either upon the track or
rail. The iutention of the muidert-ra was
evidently to make it appear that their vic
tims were killed by being run over on the
rain-oat'. A wagon-road crosses tho track
about two rods below where the t&.fie lay,
and upon tUs some spots of UjVi were
discovered which aroused suspicion of foul
play. It had rained heavily the night re
vious, notwithstanding which a line of
blood was easily traced from this point to
O'Mara's hotite. A bunch of human hair,
a piece of blood-stained rope, and some
ithreds of cloth were also found on the way.
Cne mile from the honso a wagon was
found, the tires cf whieh corretponded
with newly-mcde tracks on the road. Large
blood-stains were seen in this wagon. At
the hoUMi it was found an attempt bad been
made to wash the sitting-room floor, which
was not yet dry. Elood-stains were still
distinctly visible on the lljor, and spatters
of blood were seen upon the door leading
to the kitchen. In the next room, where
Mrs. O'Mara and her daughter slept, some
of the bedclothes were missing, and blood
was fonnd upon the bedstead. An ox-team
was discovered near the house with UihhI
stains on yoke and oxen, showing that tho
bodies were carried some distance upon the
oxeu and then placed upon the wagon. The
physicians who examined the bodies gave it
as tin ir opinion that the women were killed
with some blunt instrument, probably a
bark spud, which was subsequently found
covered with blood. O'Mara and Irving
were arrested on suspicion aud taken to
Montrose jail to await trial. On January
13 they were bronght into court, where they
pleaded "not guilty." The trial lasted un
til January -.!. when tho jury returned a
verdict of murJer iu the first degree. On
January "9 the court refused the motion
for a new trial, aud the prisoners received
their death sentences. The Pardoning
Board, which met October 8, heard an ar
g umeut in favor of pardon or commutation
ol sentence, but refused to interfere in the
case. Their death-warrants were accord
ingly ismed, and Thursday, November 12,
was fixed for their execution. On October
1G Sheritf Beach llelmc read the death
warrants to them. O'Mara evinced a spirit
of resentment, but finally shed tears. Irving
was not particularly stirred by the announce
ment.
All preparations foi the execution were
completed on the previous evening. Much
excitement prevailed because of a rumor
that a secret society known as tb Molly
Mag u--" had arranged to make an assault
on the prison dnring the night, for the pur
pose of liberating the prisoners, but they
did not make their appearance. At 7 A. M.
Father Murphy, of Aubnrn, Pa., and Father
Slatterly, of S usquehanna, spent some time
with the prisoners, who seemed to have
given up ail hope of cart ! aud were direct
ing all their thoughts towards eternity.
They seemed somewhat resigned and hope
lul cf the future then.
Having received the last rites of the
Church, at 10:15 they were led out by the
sheriff to the place of execution in the
court-yard of tho jail, accompanied by their
spiritual advisors. At 10:20 they ascended
tho platform of the scaffold. Both men
held their heads down, and ipoke no word.'
Irvin; made a slight bow to the iiectators.
The sheriff adjusted their caps, aud at pre
cisely half-past .ten he sprung the trap,
which raised them four feet in the air,
where they bung suspended for fifteen min
utes, when lite being pronounced extinct
by the attending physicians, tbe bodies were
cut down, placed in piue Collins and deliv
ered to their friends. ,
O'Mara let a written confession in the
hands of Sheriff Hulme, in which be states
he entered the house and found bis mother
and sister and Irving quarreling, and in a fit
of passion took Bp. a stick of wood and
struck his mother on the bead, breaking her
n'.'ck and killing her instantly, lie then
fled front the house, but returned shortly
and found that Irving bail murdered his
sister. I tut Irving suggested burning tbe
bodies, but he thouglu it best to place them
on the railroad track. Irving protested bis
innocence to the last.
From Mr. A. K. Johnson, who ar
rived ia this city from Lincoln, Ne
braska, yesterday afternoon, says tbe
Leavenworth 7'imes of a recent date,
we learn the particulars of one of tbe
most horrible deaths we bave ever been
called upon to relate. For the past
two weeks prairie fires have been raging
through that section of country and de
stroying everything in tbeir way. On
last Wednesday a family named Hern
don, who lived about nine miles from
the county-seat, were overtaken by ons
of these fires, aud all perished except
tbe father, who succeeded iu reaching a
creek, and thereby saved bis life. Tbe
story, ts Mr. Johnson gets it from
Uerndon, is as follows :
Oa fast Wednesday cioruing Hcrn
don discovered the grass to be on fire
at some distance from Ms boose, but
thinking nothing of it at tbe time, did
not pay any attention to it, although Lis
wife called his attention to it several
times during the fore part of the day.
A heavy wind sprung up immediate
ly after diuuer, and blowing the Cre
directly towards his house, and then bt
felt that bis danger was imminent and
concluded to start without delay. A
two-horse wagon was soon got ready,
and they started to escaped tbe devour
ing element, they being about ten miles
in advance of the fiie. But toward
evening the wind increased to a hurri
can and the flaaics were rapidly ad
vancing oo the doomed family. The
horses had now become unmanageable
and were as likely to start back ia tue
path of tho fire as not. Whatever was
to be done must be done quickly ; and
seeing be could no loager control the
team be told his family to alight from
the wagon and run for their lives. But
tho fire being quicker than they, first
overtook Mary, tbe daughter, And she
soon perished. In a few moments the
clothes of Mrs. Uerndon bad taken fire
and death soon camo to her relief.
Tbe father still kept on, but finding
that ho could not save himself and his
youngest child, which be held in bis
arms, ho conclude! to abandon the
child, which was soon wrapped in the
arms cf death. Thus freed from all
encumbrances, be soon reached the
creek, and throwing himself into the
water, saved his life.
Imagine the feelings of tbe broken
hearted father on going back, after the
firs bad passed, aud gathering up the
blackcucd and charred remains of those
i whom bo bad loved so dearly. We
Lope we may never agaia be called upon
to chronicle such a horrible affair again.
Onk of the trials that sprang out of
Tif&i and Beccher scandal wis ended,
as 'described by despatch from New
York, on the 20th. The despatch reads
as follows:
Tbe trial of Detnas Barnes, proprie
tor tf the Brooklyn Daily .lrqwt, oo
the indictment for slandering Henry C.
Bowen, in the publication cf an article
reflecting on the character of hu de
ceased wifo, was commenced this morn
ing in Kings county court sessions-
District Attorney Wicslow recited the
law of libel, aud related the circum
stances of the case. The article com
plained of was a letter from a corres
pondent in Chicago, in which was rela
ted a conversatiou the writer bad with
Itev. Dr. Pet ton as to the death-bed
scene of Mrs. Henry O. Bowen, when
she confessed to having committed
cr:u:e with Kev. Henry Ward Beechor,
aud that this was what led ISowen to
take the letter from Tilton to Beeeber,
askiug him to leave Plymouth Church.
This was also said to bave been the
cause, it was stated, cf his leaving the
editorial chair of the InlepenIent, of
which Bowen was proprietor. Henry
Bowen was examined, and denied
that his wife, on her death -bed, bad
made any such contession. She was
not able to articulate, having paralysis
of the tongue.
Tho case was submitted to the jury
without argument on either side. The
Judge charged that proof of malice
was necessary to convict, and the jury,
after a brief consultation, brought iu a
verdict of acquittal. The jurors at the
same time handed a written statement
to the court, to the effect that white tbe
Iofendaut was legally exempt from con
viction, yet they believed tbe printed
matter in the .Irgus relating to the de
ceased Mrs. Bowen was atrocious and
cruel.
