Thk Harrisborg Telegraph speaks
of the appointments in the office of
Auditor General Lemon, as follows :
Chief clerk, Tlionuu McCamant,
Blair county.
Corporation clerk, Robert S. Fra
ner, Allegheny "county.
Clerks, Henry N. Graffin, Mont
gomery county ; George C Wilkins,
Philadelphia county ; J. Briggs My

Rush," Favette county; James B.
Story, Butler county; "J. D. Lacier,
Luzerne county.
Messenger, Samuel Baker, Blair
county.
Night watchman, Lorenzo Taylor,
Dauphin county.
Of the above, Chief Clerk McCam
ant comes from the State Depart
ment, where he has for years filled
the position of chief clerk, rendering
himself an invaluable attache by his
thorough knowledge of the affairs of
his department He comes from CoL
Lemon's county, and the two have
been warm personal friends from
youth. Mr. Frazier is an ex member
of the Legislature from Allegheny
county, where he is very favorably
known. Mr. Myers has recently oc
cupied a position in a bank at Frank
lin, Venango county, and will very
probably attend to the duties of war
rant clerk. Mr. McAlister is a resi
dent of Rockville, near this city, and
is known to all our citizens as a gen
ial, courteous gentleman. Mr. La
cier leaves a position on the editorial
staff of the Wilkesbarre Record of the
Times, and is well known as an intel
ligent journalist Mr. Baker was
formerly postmaster in the Senate.
Mr. Taylor is a young colored man of
this city. CoL Lemon is to be con
gratulated on his force.
The light in which the marriage
bonds -are viewed in certain parts of
the West is learned by the following
item as published in an Indiana news
paper : The case of the two Indiap
olis husbands who agreed to swap
wives, by means of divorce, is curious.
The couples were intimate friends,
and the trade has been amically car
ried out "Mr. Richter and L" said
Dr. Bauniuller to a reporter, "are
like brothers. Not very long ago I
discovered that I loved Mrs. Richter
better than I did my own wife, and
that she preferred me to her hus
band. I also discovered that Mr.
Richter and my wife stood in exactly
the same relation to each other. What
were we to do 7 Quarrel ? It was
so, and could not be lieled. I bad
tried to suppress my feelings, and I
would have done so if I had not
found that Lena, my wife, loved Rich
ter, and that Richter loved Lena.
e did not quarrel ; we arranged
everything. We met, all four, Rich
ter, Mrs. Richter, my wife and mvself,
at Richter 's house, and there talked
the matter over until we concluded
that the best thing to be done was to
seek divorce." Dr. Bauniiller is a
reputable physician with a large prac
tice. Richter lias been a street com
missioner and is wealthy. In one
respect he seems to get the best of
the bargain, for his new wife is twenty-nine,
while his old wife is fifty,
and he is sixty. Bauniuller is fifty
three. From Washington come report of
corruption in the Post Office Depart
ment How much of the report is
correct remains to be demonstrated.
The alleged corruption was in route
contracts. It is said one route con
tracted originally for in round num
bers G,0UO was increased to $150,
000 an increased g 144.000 per an
num on a $G,000 contract Another
was increased from $134,000 to $300,
000; another from $2,000 to $70.
000; another from $13,000 to $136,-
000 ; another from $680 to $32,000 ;
another fiom $3,000 to $72,000 ; an
other from $15,000 to $92,000; an
other from $10,000 to $00,000, and
so on to the end of a long chapter.
It must be remembered that Con
gress had given for the star route
service $5,900,000, which was the
whole 6nm asked for in the estimates,
but at the next session the sum of
$2,000,000 was demanded of Con
gress to cover such increased prices
paid to contractors over and above
the amounts they contracted for.
The whole matter is to be laid before
the Attorney General
The preacher of a peculiar reli-
gious society out in Arkansas was
lynched. The dispatch from Little !
Rock, Arkansas, that announces the
lynching says of it: Rev. Robert
Mattlock, who was discovered hanged
n ferd county a few days since, was
suppo6sed. Mattlock was a preacher
of the New Light fanatacism preva
lent in this region. Last year the
enthusiasts among his followers who
believed in blood atonement under
the lead of Mattlock, killed six or
seven men. Mattlock murdered
Thomas Miller at a barbecue last Au
gust with a knife. He was captured,
tried and acquitted as insane. A
short time ago a murdered man was
found on the top of the mountains
between Telico and Batesville, and
the circumstances pointed strongly
to Mattock as the murderer. The
community was greatly excited, and
JlattocE is also supposed to be a vic
tim of blood atonement
" The Rev. O. M. Cousens said in a
sermon at Portland, Ma, that every
member of his congregation was a
"cider guzzler," and is to be tried for
it by his conference. A revivalist
gave almost as much offense at Fair
field, Iowa. He said it was frivolous
for women to wear feathers in their
hats, whereupon two girls left the
house with feathers flying. The
preacher called after them : " This is
God's granary ; there goes the chaff ;
thank God, the wheat remains.
Silver is being found in such quan

A bich man in New York was to
give a party; the day was set; invi
tations were issued, and all things
were ready. A certain other man
heard of the party, and thought to
make some money out of it by pre
tending to have been sent to make
some repairs in gutter, gas-pipe or
some other thing in front of the
house. The man conjectured that he
would be bought off, and that is the
way he expected to make his money.
He was correct in his conjecture.
The Philadelphia A'ortk American
tells the whole transaction in this
way: A family residing on Murray
Hill had made arrangements for a
large and fashionable party, and had
issued invitations accordingly. The
eventful day arrived, and a canopy of
imposing size and gorgeous appear
ance formed a covered archway lead
ing from the curbstone to the door
way of the family mansion. Within
the house servants were hurrying to
and fro, proving their invaluability
by the many things they left undone
until the last moment, while upstairs
the busy fingers of hairdressers and
ladies' maids performed sundry mys
terious offices with which the genus
homo is not supposed to be familiar,
and over which the manly nature of a
noble heart would throw the veil of
obscurity if he was. Suddeidy, at
nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, a
man with pick and shovel paused be
fore the door and deliberately began
to remove the cobble stones, as if he
intended to make an excavation in
search of the gas or water pipes. The
noise of the pounding upon the
stones soon drew the inmates to the
window. Horror of horrors ! "That
wretched man is tearing up the street
right before our canopy, and how can
the carriages approach the door,"
cried Miss . "Call pa." But "pa
had already scented the danger, and
was on his way down stairs before
his daughter had finished her first
exclamation. Bounding out of the
door and rushing down the covered
way, he ordered the man to desist
He could not ; he had been ordered
there by the Street Commissioners to
repair a leak, and he must do his
work. Expostulations followed even
threats ; but all in vain ; the man was
obstinate. Perhaps he could be
bribed. Happy thought ! A ten dol
lar bill was offered him. But no. the
man's integrity could not be assailed.
The hour was getting late ; the Com
missioners had no doubt left their
office, and could not be found to
change or countermand their order.
Deserute circumstances demand des
perate remedies. Twenty dollars
were offered to the man if he would
go his way and not begin his work
until to-morrow. "I have a sick wife
and child at home," said the man,
"and you tempt me." "Take the mon
ey, then, and buy them what they
need. See, here's $10 ruore $30.
Tell the Commissioners your wife was
sick and you could not begin the
work to-dav. Tell him anything you
please, only don't tear up the street
to-night." The brile was taken and
the man has not been seen since.

On the 20th inst Governor Ord-
way, oi Dakota, spoke before the
New York Produce Exchange. He
gave a clear account of the disaster
which has recently overtaken the
farmers of the southwestern portion
of that growing Territory. It is a
disaster unparalled in the history of
the Territory, and one therefore
which could not be foreseen or avert
ed. The unusually cold winter
caused the formation of an enormous
quantity of ice in the Upper Missou
ri River. A sadden thaw and freshet
broke up the ice on hundreds of
the river's course. A short distance
below the town of Yankton, at a bend
in the stream between the high bluffs,
a jam occurred, aud the enormous
blocks of ice, wedged together by
the force of the current, made a dam
as strong for the time as a granite
walL Ine ice constantly accumula
ting against tliis obstruction filled the
channel for the distance of nearly ten
miles and the river overflowed its
banks and spread far and wide over
the flat bottom lands. A large part
of its waters made a way for them
selves northward across the country
to the Big Sioux River, a distance of
about thirty miles, spreading devas
tation over hundreds of farms, drown
ing the stock and sweeping off fences,

j0n ilia tanks of th Jllssouri were
entirely destroyed ; tha Ice masses,
whirled along by the powerful cur
rent battering down the houses as
effectively as a bombardment from a
battery of heavy artillery. Al)out
500,000 acres of the richest farming
country in Dakota is covered with
water to a depth of from two to six
feet Most of the inhabitants have
lost all their possessions save the bare
land of their farms. The devastated
region is the oldest settled part of
the Territory, and the farmers were
forehanded, well-to-do people ; but
like all farmers in a new country,
their savings were invested in stock
and improvements on their land.
Their destitution is complete. They
have no animals, tools or seed to
plant a new crop, and nothing to live
upon until harvest tune. Over 7000
of there unfortunate people are now
supported by public charity.

On Tuesday a week, the 19th inst,
five members of the thieving Buz
