- iENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWX. WedneadiiY, April 16, 14T9; B. F. SCHWEIER, ewtob asb rKOPBirroa. Between" the Srcialists, Commun ists, and Ibe Confederates, the 8urs and Stripes bave a bard time of it. But a few davs ago a Confederate military company failed to carry the Stars aod Stripes in a parade ia Wash ington city. Last week the Chicago Inter Ocean ays that in a Socialist parade which took place in that city, in which two military compaoies participated, the American flag was carried at the bead of the procession, nnion down. This is a step further than the military com panies went in Washington the other day. There they simply refused to carry the American flag. In Chicago they carried it, but in such a way as to intuit every one with the smallest spark of patriotism. This was either a atupid blunder or a studied insult. It bebooves the deeent people of Chi cago to discover which, and to explain if a blunder, or visit upon the authors the severest condemnation if it was design. The Washington Republican is log ically correct io its reasoning when it declares that Mr. Cbaltuer's position oo tbe debate on the army bill ought to subject him to be bun? by the neck un til lie is dead. The Republican' rea son is thus stated : " Chalmers says the Jirtl (run of the rebellion was fired by John Urown, and tbe world knows that Brown was Lung for treason." Having thus given Chalmers Ibe benefit of Lis logic, the Republican thus turns tberea oniog non the Confederate brigadier : ' Mr. ralmers and bis friends fired tbe last gun. Why shouldu't they have been hung also .'" Why ! Mr. Cucd.ux, speaker of the Lower House of Congress, announced Lis commit tees last Friday. The South ern States get the chuirmansliip of one-half the committees ; they get the chairmanship of 2(i committees. AccoftDisa to tbe calculation of Ad ventists the world is to come to' an end on the 11th of next July. STATE ITEMS. Jv-k Bdtler, a pretended iljrmon prophet, is causing the eople in the northern part of Uia SUte much trouble. March, 1S8J, is the time, and Al t wna the place for tho next meeting of the M- E.

Jolooel "Bob" Irgersoll offers to give $1000 at once aud half of his in coals for tbe uext five years, if neces sary, in aid of tbe negro emigrants td the west. Rev. John Miller, D.

It is probably the most elegantly furnished private house in Washington, and the the Senator takes possession of the house and furniture cn the loth inst The rent is said to be 9 6,000 a year. Complaint is made in tbe Gettysburg Compiler, at well as in The Times, about raiding corn in tbe portions of tbe Gettysburg battle-field that have been set ajide as monumental of tbe great combat. Tbe Compiler states that on Culp's Hill many of tbe old bullet market trees have been converted into fire wo jd. A deer bouaded upon the track as a tawis. train was passing near Wat- Ca aoutowo a few days ago. It kept ahead of the engine for a long distance and thun jumped to tbe side, running with the train nearly to Dewart. Sev eral revolver shots were fired from the train. Tbe deer darted ioto tbe woods near Pewart and was found there with a bullet-bole in its neck the next morn mif. Tbe Philadelphia and Reading rail road company are testing the utility of iron cross ties instaad of wood, near tbe depot at Phoenixville. Froui tbe ap pearand of them we think they must be superior to wood and must even tually supersede tbe latter. The tics are placed at a point in the road where the wear and tear would be unusually gre it, and if tbey stand well there, tbe company need bave no hesitancy in placing them anywhere on tbe line oS their road. John J. Swinehart, a Chester conn ty farmer, who lives just north of Coatesville, acknowledged to patent medicine agent Joseph Ash that he always did have a kind cf hankerin after pills end salves, and assured Mr. Ash that if he were of the mind to leave some of the stuff he'd do all he could to nell it, to be sure. So Mr. Ash scntTarmer Swinehart a whole boxful. Xext day G- W. Owen called upou the farmer, aud smilingly re marked that as Mr. Ash had forgot ten to talis the gentleman's note, he would do it just as well, as the firm name really read uAsh & Owen." Mr. Swinehart was much taken back. Mr. Owen was aggressive. Mr. Swinehart signed for 75. Later in the day Mr. Owen left the note at rite Coatesvillo liverv stable as secu- j rifv for a 15 bill Wi have been asked, " Do you know who first owned the land cn which MiflLntown is bruit, and the chain of ownership to this present time !" to which we answer, "Yes," and we will state it, in this inane cf the Sejjtixix axd Republican except ing the chain of ownership of the lots in town after the land was laid out as a town plot. "We do not give the names of lot owners. The first owners, as far an we know, were the Indians. By sundry op erations of Europeans, the title be came Tested in the English govern ment. That government owed the father of William Penn quite a sum of money. The debt to the Penn's was extinguished by the Crown giv ing a land grant to William Penn, the founder of the Province, now the State of Pennsylvania. On the 8th day of September, IT 55, a man named Alexander Lafferty bought of the Penn's, aud had pat ented, by the same authority 275 acres and allowance of 6 per cent of land, called Content, which is the tract that MifHintowu now stands on, and comprehends a considerable extent of the land yet east of the town at this day. On the 31st of January, 17C7, Laf ferty sold the tract Content . to John Cox. On tbe 7th day of March, 17C7, Cox sold Content to ffra. MaCiay. On the 10th day of March, 1767, Richard Penn and Thomas Penn, Proprietors, and John l'enn, Lieu tenant Governor, confirmed Content to Win. MaCiay, and for the fttm of 42 Sf'210 fcirever released him of all quit-ivnts, and so f jrth. Content, at that time, was bounded on the south by lands of Francis West, on the east by lands of Win. Corran and Win. McCoy, on the north by lands of John Read, and on the west by the Island, which was known as Lafferty's Island, now Stambaugh's Island. On the 2nd day of September, 1774, MaCiay sold Content to John Harris, for the sum of 1,200 6,000. In 1731, John Harris laid out a town on the west end of the tract Content, and called tbe town Mifflin town, in honor of Governor Thomas Mifflin. The Harris town plot ex tended eastward to an alley that runs parallel with Third street The ad ditions to the town plot made since the diys of John Harris have ail been made from the tract Content, and were laid out by Lewis Burch field and Samuel Davis, John Wright, E. S. Parker, John J. Patterson, It. C Gallagher, and B. F. Schweier. After the death of John Harris, his estate was partitioned by his chil dren. His sm James became owner of a large portion of Content, lying east of the town. On the 16th day of August 1806, James Harris sold 215 acres, east of and adjoining Mifflintown. to James Burd f ir the sum of $5.74G.5G. On the 17th div of April. 1S26, James Burd sold a tract of 194 acres, east i of and adjoining MiiHintowD, to his tvro sons, Allen and Edward Bard. On the Gili of Septemler. 1834. Ed ward bonght his brother Allen Btird's interest in the tract mentioned, and became its sole owner. On the 1st of April, 1841, Edward Burd Fold the farm to Jonas Kauffaian, An drew Parker, and l'hilo Hamlin. At this date the larger pieces of the tract belong to George Jacobs, Sr., B. F, Schweier, E. S, Doty, Sr., and J. H. McAIister. The addir tions to the borough plot of Parker, Patterson, and Schweier, have been from the Hamlin and Parker pur chases. All the town lots and land Content have a chain of title extend ing from the present date, from pro prietor to proprietor, to John Harris, from Harris to MaCiay, from MaCiay to Cox, from Cox to Lafferty, from Lafferty to the Penn's. It is passing strange bow the seoti tnert of love betweeu man and woman will cause tbe respective sexes to for get themselves, and in some instances take each other's lives.

Sinoe then e L;ve the intelligence of a couple of lovers in a Western State having taken prosaic aciJ W end their days on earth. See accouct elsewhere in this paper. A certain pereenta' 1 d of people seem to be destined for such an end, and all the admonition of friends, and all tbe eiperience of the past, as made known in print, fail to keep them from such an end. Tbe latest crazy love tragedy is re ported by dispatch as follows : HF.STEH, Pa , April 8. The little village of Linwood was considerably excited when it got out of bed this working to learn that Andrew Jones, an employe of General R. M. Burton, bad shot himself with ai army revolver a few bonrs after miduigbL Andrew was in love with a voun? firl named Jzsie Welsh, a domestic iu the same house. Lizzie did not return Andrew's tender feeiiog, and told bim 6 some weeks ago. List night he requested ber to sit up late with bim, as be had something to say to ber. She reluct aatly consented. At about midnight be again asked ber to marry bim, say ing that if she refused be would kill himself. She began to cry, and he started out of the door oo a run. In tbe meantime George Potter, a man living on a neighboring farm, who bad come to sleep with Jones and had gone to bed, bad come down ctairs in re-1 spouse to a call from Lizzie, and when Andrew left the bouse they followed him. After runuing across two field tbe latter put ibe revolver to bis bead j and fired and dropped dead. Tbe Cor oner's jury returned a verdict of sai cide. STATE ITEMS.

A man will not fall if be continues upright. Wovien pavements have turned out a complete failure in Pitlabnrg streets. Tbe celebrated trotter, Goldsmith Maid, baa a fine bay borse colt. Mr. Smith baa refused an offer of $20,000 for it. A report comes by way cf Topeka, Kansas, that the Caeyennes are on tbe war-path, and moving in tbe the direc tion of western Kansas. Tbe Supreme Court of Maine bas de cided that members of tbe Legislature can receive mileage only for traveling one way. At Mount Vernon, Tedas, on Satur day evening a week, a gang of mounted men assassinated tbe man in charge of the jail, and attempted to rescue the prisoners confined there. The citizens assembled aod drove them off. Nearly 2,000, cattle, mostly young, will be driven from Texas north before the warm weatber of August begins. The number of attle in a drive" is generally 3,000, though it is sometimes much largtr.

It is stated that the British Govern ment bad authorized agents in this country to buy mules for tbe use of the British forces in South Africa. A few days since one of these agents purchas ed five hundred mules from Mr. T. C. Eastman, of West Albany, N. Y., and these animals are to be shipped during the next two weeks to England, whence, after a brief rest, tbey will be trans ported to tbe seat of war in Africa. A special dispatch from Belton, Tex as, to tbe Galveston .Veict, says : " A negro man and woman living near here, witnesses against Canterbury and Rob bins, indicted for rape, were murdered last eight by five masked men. The man was killed instantly, but tbe wo uiau lived until morning. She stated that one of the assassins said no wit nesses should live to appear against Canterbury and Robbins." A dispatch from Ohio, under date of the 10:h inst., says : John Barnomj a farmer living near Sabina, Ohio, bad a difficulty with a hired min named Wea ver, during wbicb the latter threatened to sboot his employer. Barnuin swore out a warrant for the arrest of Weaver on a charge of assault. Constable J . L. Johnson attempted to arrest Weaver, when the latter fired at bim. Tbe offi cer returned the fire, tbe ball penetra ting Weaver's abdomen, fatally wound ing bim. A party of seven Indians recently at tacked Sergeant Kennedy, late signal observer at Dead wood, D. T., and a private soldier, named Badcr, of tbe Second cavalry. Tbe two men were eatin? lunch at Mizpah, 45 miles from Fort Keogh, when fired upon. Badar was instantly killed and Kennedy bad ly wonnded. The lattei crawled into the biush and kept the Indians at bay with six shooter until assistance ar rived. Bailer was scalped. Kennedy will probably recover. A short time ago a young Chippe wa hunter was shooting squirrels in the woods that border Ltike Huron, near Penetanguishine, when, by some chance, a large blighted pine fell upon him, knocking him down and crush ing his log, which was fractured in two places. He could not rise he could not remove the tree which was lying (".cross his broken leg. He was far from the probability of passing aiL and to lie there and starve to death iu agony seemed all that was left to him. In this dilemma, with all the fortitude and promptitude of romance he took out his knife, cut off his own leg, bound it up with his saab, dragged himself along the ground to his canoe and paddled himself borne to his wigwam on a dis tant island. There the cure of his wound was completed, and tho man is still alive. Strange as tins may seem, it is strictly time. Idaho World. Mrs Maria Giliett, aged eighty y.ara. d at the bbakers on tbe evening of the J'h u5t- fte very short illness, produced, u Toongi't by the bite of a spider nearly x? ?eks since. She was a very actne, iDlei'8'5?? woman, and one who in early life stjreJ ,tn ber parents soma remarkable experieJ,e among tbe Indians in the wild portions of this country. She was tbe grand uiece of General Ethan Allen, ber grandfather being a brother of tbe hero of Ticonderago, and served as a cap tain under him. It is singular to re late, but she retained tbe " Allen" mark, having been born with six fingers, tbe surplus member being removed io her infancy ; and her children, of which she reared two, also bore tbe unmis takable family feature when icfants. She bas been a staunch and faithful member of the Shaker Community for fifty years, holding many places of trust; and always with honor to herself aud from all concerned. A Davenport, Iowa, love tragedy is thus told by a dispatch that was sent last week : Harry C Watt occupied apartments over his cigar store on Third street, the family consisting of his wife, their little daughter Eda, his wife's sisters, Misses Louisa and Amelia Filter, and an errand boy. On Saturday night visitors left the house at a quarter past 11 o'clock, and Mr. and Mrs. Watt soon retired. Miss Amelia had gone to bed, aud her sister was preparing to do so when she went to the bureau and drank the contents of a glass, imme diately fainting. 3Irs. Watt, aroused by screams, rushed into the room. Her husband followed shortly after. Miss Louisa was found in the agonies of death lying in a corner of the room. Watt ended his life really be fore Louisa did, but she lingered only a mere moment of time after him. It is unmistakably proved that the tragedy wns a prenifditated suicide It came ont that a letter had been found in Watt's pocket addressed to I l,:s wife, and that in this letter he told the whole story of the deed and the cause for it The fact is est&b- LVLed that Harry C Watt and Louisa Filter had loved each other unwisely and illicitly, and tiicy had determined to end their troubles mutually with eir Iiws. Prosaic acid was the agent used, Watt preparing tho dose for Louisa and tm-n for himself. GENERAL ITEMS. Emigrants are pouring into Kansas at th late of fuur hundred per day.

He inti mates that tbe minister baa been in tbe babit of chastising his wife for some months, although it is knowq tbat she is in an "interesting condition." No body bas been willing before to expose the matter in the papers, but the cbnrcb did close tbe pulpit against Cole some weeks since.
