A bill has been introduced into the State Senate, tkit provides for the abas JoHoicrt of such canals with in the limits of tho Conimjuwealtb, as the management of cunals may deem proper to abandon. It is le licvevl by many, that among the 6tr-tc-hes of orn-Js that will ba abnu d';nod, provided the bill be pissed, is the canal that runs by the Juniata river.

TIIE BLACK. DEATH. The bla."k death, which has again ipptortu in soma parts cf ltussit, has proved very destructive, and caused the greatest alarm. This is the same disease which, in the four teenth century, desolated the globe, and it gets its name from the black spots, symptomatic cf a putrid de composition, that show themselves at one of its stages on the skin of the sufferer. It is thought to have had its origin in China in 1-333, some 15 years before its outbreak in Europe, and it raged for 2o years, while droughts, fiiaines, floods, earth quakes that swallowed towns and mountains, and swarms of locusts spread devastation everywhere. Dur ing the same period Europe had ns many abnoimal conditions as the East. The order of nature appeared to be reversed. The seasons were at various times inverted; thunder storms were frequent in midwinter, and volcanoes, long considered ex tinct, burst forth afresh. The theory is that the extraordinary activity of the earth, accompanied by decompo sition of vast organic masses myr iads of locusts brutes and bodies ol unman beings produced some change in the atmosphere inimical to lifri. Sjme writers say that the im pure air was actually visible as it ap proached with it burden of uoatii. The plagne owed its extension almost whol.y to infection and contagion. Three years passed from the d.ite of its appiairance in Constantinople be fore it crept by a huge circle to tho Russian territories. Statistics were not obtainable then, but it is estima ted that in China alone 13,003.000 people died, and in the remainder of the Ent 24,000,000, while in Europe 25,O0J,O00 souls perished, making a grand and terrible total of G2,0d0, 000. Although there is little danger of the spread of the pest to western Europe for mnny generations it has been confined to the East it is not Strang that the Russians should be start.ed by the ravages the black death has already made. Persons at tacked with it are said to die like flies, and the ignorant and supersti tions peasantry are so terrified by it that many are thought to have per ished of pure fright Fortunately the laws cf health and the peculiarities of disease are much better under stood now tiian in centuries gone by. A dispatch dated Boston says : Ad ditiooai particulars of the tragedy at Montvilie, Waldo county, Me., only Saturday evening, show tbat tbe one victims were John M'Farland and bis wife Saiina, eacb about seventy years old, and George Kowell, about forty year old. M'Farland and bis wife and Kuwell and bis wile and two ch.il dren lived together, Rowell having married a widow of M'Fjrland's son Ou Saturday evening Uawell bad some words with M'Farland, during which be struck him aud threatened to take bis life M'Farland and his wife and two children left tbe house fora neigh bor's. As they were leaving they weie met by Alonz i Bayces, a neigh bor, who was going to M'Parlaud's bouse. As he neared the hocse be was fired upon by Kowell, who was in the bouse, bat was not bit. Turning ltaynee ran back home, passicg M'Far land aud his wife, wbo were walking through tbe enow. Kowell followed with bis empty gun in his band, over taking tbe old Couplo killed them both iu tbe road with the clubbed guo, breaking Mrs. M'Farland neck and crushing the skulls of both in a horrible manner. Leaving his victims in the road, Kowell burned on in pursuit cf lUvnes, who with tbe children bad en tered Lis house closed tbe d tors, and armed himself with a double barreled shot gun. Howell burst in the door and received a charge from llaynes' gun, striking Lim in tbe groin and in flicting what proved to be a fatul wound. Htynea bouad Boweil with a rope and hastened to learn the fite of the old couple, finding bem botb dead. Cz bis return Kowell was also dead. Kowell d been considered insane at inter;' for iverl years, but was a quiet and 9-clIJ harinleis individ ual. A dispatch on Saturday E.'jht fr"nj Ciocincati says : Mrs. John StuiC, who for several months Las been confined in jail at New Philadelphia, Ohio for the murder of the widow Best, was releas ed to-day, the grand jury having failed in fiud an indictment against ber. There was no doubt of tbe guilt of tbe accused woman, but tbe rympathics of tbe community were strongly in Lcr favor, and she would undoubtedly Lave been acquitted bad ebo beea brought to trial. A more extraordinary murder never occurred in Ohio. A widow named Best, who was her.'eif a grandmother, woo tbe affections of John Stult a far mer in poor circumstances and the fa ther of a hrge family. Mrs. Scult sus pected her husband, and set a watch, and feund that a flat stone in a neigh boring field was used by Stult and the widow as a postnfiiee for the exchange of message. She wrote a decoy letter which brought Mrs. Best to a haystack near by. There the two women met and engaged in a death-struggle. With no other weapon than a piece of rail, the injured wife beat out the brains of her rival, and went home to her family But tbe dred weighed so heavily upon her mind tbat she undertook to drown herself in tbe canal. A passing ped dler pulled ber ont, and to him she told tlia story. She was then placed iu jid, where she remained, with ber young babe, until released to-day. DIM A'l'Cli KS.

It is proposed io Obio Legislature to bave tue lime of holding tbe Stat Iee ! liou changed in Presidential years to November, as is now dooe in I-.wa. The Virginia Senate bas refused, by a very decided mj irity, to repeal the wbippiug post law taking the ground that a great saving of expense Las ac crued aud tbere has been a notable de crease of petty thefts. Resumption is an assured fast. The man wbo swore off was observed sueakicg into a saloon tbe other morning- Wade Hampton is going to Florida for bis health. He will go up tbe St. Johns to Indian river, where be will fish and Loot awhi'e. When a Tennessee widow' bays a suit of clothes for ber young man she expects bini to do bis part and marry her: and when, as happened tbe other day, tbat ungrateful wretch dons tbe new clothes and goes off and marries a girl io another couuty, tbe widow makes bitn surrender the clothes. Io northern New York it does not appear to work well for relatives to die aud leave owners of individual banks large eoins of money. Some three years ago a wealthy old gentleman at Wattertoro died, and about, $800,000 from his estate went to a son, who was an individual banker, aud who for years bad ranked A I, and was known to be very rich, in less than a year after this windfall be failed for over half a mill ion, and paid about ten cents on the dollar. At Ogdensbarg, the other day Judson's bank, a similar institution to tbe Paddoch concern at Wattertown, ranking every way as well, failed for some $ IU0,UIH. tiess than five years ago a brother of the proprietor died and left him full $800,000. . A man near U'ica, New York, re cently died, who had spoken bat twice in Cfty years. His silence wasstlf-en-forced, in accordance with a vow rash ly taken. He had managed however. to amass a fortune of $24,000, which be left to a nephew with the injuno to "Keep your mouth shut." There was a strange scene at the de pot at Springfield, Mass., a day or two ago, on the arrival of a body wbiuh was on its way to Troy for interment. It was neccessary to transfer the box con taining tbe remains from one tra:o to another, and while this was bein- done a prty who bad been waiting for an otber body, which was to be interred in tbat city, assembled aroond the box and began wheepicg freely. It was so hi b time before they could ba made to understand tbat tbe remains over which thny were lamenting were not those of thiir friend, but a stranger cn rout westward. The other day a dentist in Portland Me., noticed that a dog was evidently suffering from an ulcerated tooth lie induced tbe animal to open its month, applied the forceps and extract. ed tbe tooth. During the operation the dog sat quietly on its haunches. and stopped moaning. r.neannff to ful- 1 Iv realizs what the doctor was about i After the totb was drawn the aniuial expressed his gratification in many wajs I - I Fonruiiix.

M. de Lessupa is urging the French government to extend the telegracb wires from Algeria across the Desert of Sahara to tbe French colonial de pendency of Senegal, iu Western Af rica. Tbe Czar's phyrician recommends the burning ot all the villages where tbe plague bas broken out, together with all tbe furniture, and the removal of tbe inhabitants to beafcby places. Tbe Czar is supposed to ba favorable to this plan.
