Last Wednesday, January 25, the
jury sitting in the case of the mur

A pispatch from Lafayette, IncL,

not far from the town just mentioned
The brute then attacked a family, and
was by them, shot dead. The whole
ttory may be a bear story.
Ever since the murder of Garfield
caen of unfair turn of mind, and uu
thiuking men have been talking bad
thisgs against Arthur. First they
said that he was at the head of a con
piracy to make himself I'resident,
and that Guiteau was the man paid
to kill President Garfield. That
failed. The- next story was that a
jjry fixer would cause a disagree
ment, and Uuiteau would escape in
that way. Well that was false. Now
they say that Arthur will pardon the
murderer. Don't talk so fast. Hold'
vour peace. Time will make all
things right
The manner in which Mr. Blaine
engaged in diplomatic relations with
the South American States, Peni and
Chili, has awakened a wide-spread in
terest among the nations of Europe,
and also in this Republic Mr. Blaine,
it seems, was giving his influence as
Secretary of State in favor of Peru
as against Chili, giving as his reason
that Chili is moving uuder the control-
and power of English commerce
and trade. It is understood that the
Authiir administration looks upon
the Monroe doctrine as being against
the establishment of European gov
ernmental institutions on the Ameri
can continent, but not against Eu
ropean trade or commerce to such a
degree that it can be induced to lend
its moral or governmental influence
against trade or commerce when the
business is confined to business inter
ests. In that particular the Arthur
administration differs from the Gap
field administration. So, at least,
the difference appears at tins date. 1
A crnzEs of this town, a man abun
dantly qualified in every particular to
understand a sermon; a speech, or a
lecture throughout, writes the follow
ing complimentary notice of the lec
ture delivered by Chaplain McCabe
last Wednesday evening in the Court
House in Miftlmtown :
Chaplain McCabe's lecture was ad
mirable. Its effect upon the large
audience would ba bard to describe.
To appreciate it is but to bear it The
speaker gave his personal experience
arid oWrvntion in Libby Prison.
The lecture had the merit and force
of truth, without exaggeration, which
added much to its interest Some
amusing things were said that caused
many to laugh loud and heartily. Hut
it w:is not all mirthful, nor was there
any somberness in it- There were
words of soberness and wisdom,
words of counsel and encouragement
and words of warning and reproof.
Two sentiments, suited- to the occa
sion, made a marked impression. One
had reference to th individual the
necessity of personal honor ; the other
to the public the danger of official
eorruplion. The language of the ora
tor, as it is remembered, was this :
"A mn had better be dead than lose
his honor," and "The only danger to
onr Union is corruption in the race
for office and the want of integrity in
its administration." These words are
44 like apples of gold in pictures of
silver," worthy to be remembered
and practically regarded, each one
for himself ami also as a part of any
large body of men associated togeth
er for any object never forgetting
that individual responsibility cannot
be equally apportioned among a mul
titude who join in any wrongful act
All who go with a crowd are answer
able for the crowd
The protection that vaccination
with cow-pox gives to the human sys
tem against small-pox, has given rise
to the idea that perhaps, other dis
eases that animals are subject to may
be neutralized by vaccination. To
ascertain how correct such an idea
may be has induced French doctors
and scientists to vaccinate sheep as a
protection against certain diseases
that prove so distrnctive to large
flocks. The exjeriiuent8 of the past
year have been most satisfactory, and
within the present year the world is
promised a full description of the re
cent discoveries of vaccination as a
preventive of certain diseases that
afflict sheep.
Jeffet.son Davis, of the defunct
Southern Confederacy is still hope
ful of a resurrection of the Lost
Cause, as may be learned from a para
graph from a speech that he delivered
recently at New Orleans. He said :
" Brothers, yon have endured all the
fat'.gnes of many campaigns and the
dangers of a hundred battle-fields.
You have written your record ; you
have done your duty. The princi
ples you then asserted as necessary
for the preservation of the American
constitution are now as they were
when you struck for them, and the
existence of the best government the
world ever saw, the American Lnion,
is still indissolubly bound up in the
principles for which you fought
"Princeton, N. J., is greatly excited
over the indictment of twenty-three
freshmen of the college for malicious
mischief growing out of the depreda

The college men think the Grand
Jury should have taken the youth of
the offenders and their inexperience
into consideration before placing the
stigma of indictment upon them.
The towns-people say they have paid
for the bovs freaks long enough, and
that they propose to maintain order
if the college authorities do not
They say that they have complained
frequently to President McCosh, and

The St Cloud Hotel in Philadel
phia was extensively advertised list
week through the fact that a promi
nent married man, and the daughter
of another prominent citizen of Do
vcr, N. J., in their elopement flight
had put up at the St Cloud and were
there found by parties that were sent
to find them. The hotel management
did not like it, that the guilty couple
had made their hotel their abiding
place wLue in the city. About the
time officers of the law in Philadel
phia were ready to send the couple
back to Dover, a dispatch from that
place from their friends said, " Let
them go, which they did. Ihe cou
pie bought tickets and took a train
Southward. There seems to be a
growing disregard of the marriage
relations which is no good sign.
The Mormon religion is not as pop
ular across the sea as some people
profess to believe, as may be learned
from a dispatch from London, last
Friday, which says : Six Mormon el
ders endeavored to hold an open air
meeting at Kings-cross yesterday.
They were accompanied by a proces
sion of Mormon men and women
singing hymns. One of the elders
delivered an address and urged upon
his hearers the advantages of emigra
tion to Utah. The meeting was bro
ken up by a large erewd, who at
tacked the Mormons.
There is one Indian in California
represented as determined to engage
ia civilized industry. A border jour
nal speaks of him as follows : An In
dian came into San Bernardino,- CaLr
a few days since and procured a plow,
the only means of carrying which
was by packing it on his horse, and
he started for his rancheria, some
eighty-five miles distant w-ith a plow,
a set of harness and a pair of double
trees, all packed on his mustang pony.
Good for that Indian. We hope he
may succeed.

Michael Ltcet. of Nice town. Pa,
is the victim of three women that he
made love to. Such a fact would not
be worthy of notice but for the un
common occurrence that a man is
victimized by three women. Gener
ally the case is the other way, three
women beins victimized by one man.
The reverse is what makes it funny
that one man should be taken in by
three women, and all by one and the
same process. Lycet wanted a wife.
He was not long in nnding a gin mat
sweetened. He wooed her, bonght
her dresses, jewelry, and so forth,
but when he wanted to marry her
she said no. Soon he loved another
fair damsel. His pocket-book was
opened to her, but when he proposed
marriage, she said no. ine wounus
that Cupid had made a second time
were healed, and he fell more desper
ately in love with a third dear girl.
He bonght her just everything thai
she asked, believing that he had her
all right, for she had promised to
marry him on Christmas. When
Christmas came she raised a fight
with him, and said that it was on
New Year's day that she promised to
marry him. When New Year's day
came she would not marry him. He
says that he is d.ne with the women,
and will straighten the one that last
flirted with him, and to straighten
her and redress his grievances he has
sued her for breach of promise. Mi
chael Lyeet's expensive and trouble
some experience in search of a wife
has made all the old bachelors in
Nieetown nervous.

Lynched In Kamoi,
Loce Haves, Pa., Jan. 18. -Intelligence
has recently reached this place
that George Pfeifl'er was hanged by
lynch law in the State of Kansas, a
few weeks ago. Pfeiffer was raised
in the vicinity of Howard, Center
county, fifteen miles from this place,
where his father, who was a respect
able farmer, died about two years
ago. His mother is still living to
grieve over her son's lamentable end.
George was married to a Miss Reish,
whose father is a well-to-do farmer in
Brush Valley. Some five years ago
he lived in the borough of Howard,
in a house belonging to Rev. Nathan
J. Mitchell The house burned down
under circumstances which excited
suspicion, having his household goods
insured for more than their value. As
soon as he secured the insurance
money he left with his family for the
west Last spring his wife died, and
he brought her remains to her Center
county home for burial. Last fall
detectives arrested him at Driftwood,
Cameron county, on a charge of rob
bing the mails in Kansas, and he was
conveyed back to that state tor trial,
and letters and newspaper publica
tions received at Howard, report that
he made a mil confession to tbe offi
cers who had him in charge, not only
of the mail robberies, but also con
fessed the crimes of arson and mar
der, stating that he had set fire to
Mr. Mithell's house, for the purpose
of getting the insurance money on
his furniture with which to go west
and that he poisoned his wife to ob
tain ten thousand dollars Life insur
ance which he had on her. The prac
tical business view the people of Kan
ag took of the matter was that it
was useless to take up the time of the
courts, after such a confession, and
Pfeiffer was summarily executed.
Poisoned;
The Harrisburg Palrtot of January
23 says : Mrs. oodmansee, who re
sided with her husband at Steelton,
purchased some arsenic on Thursday
last to poison rats. Mr. W oouiuan
see is a painter and is absent from
home during the day, and his wife
took charge of the oyster saloon.
During Thursday afternoon Mrs. W.
spread some crackers with mixed poi
son to feed rats, wLi'e at the same t'tae
she put butter on others, which shs
intended eating herself. She t lace-l
them- on the counter and went out of
the shop for a few minutes. Return
ing, she picked up one of the poison
ed crackers and ate it, supposing it
to be one of the lot she had buttered.
She was seized with violent pains. A
physician was summoned, but the
poison had worked itself too- thor
oughly into her system and she died
on J: rulay evening, alter great suner-
ing. She left no children. As the
coroner was absent from the city no
inquest was held. The remains were
interred yesterday afternoon.

A Westmoreland county, Pa, paper
says : About three weeks ago Maggie
Pickett aged 14 years, was kidnap
ped from her home at Latrobe, West
moreland county, Pa., by a man and
woman. Her uncles, John and Enoch
Davis, followed her over 1,300 miles,
and at a point only a few miles from
the Indian Territory line she was
overtaken and released from the
clutches of her kidnappers. The ab
ductors made good their escape, be
ing armed to the teeth.

beat iu tbe sbow to preveoi death from

readily recognised landmarks.
Oo tbe fourth day be was lost in tbe

to spend that night where be stood or

ly be fatal. Already tbe colored lights
that are a sore forerunner of death bv

It was men mat it occurred to Dim

After a short time his body began to

of fretting that be felt. At last, with
