THERE were a larger number of fairs
held this season in Pennsylvania than ever lie
fore in any one year, the people seeming to
have waked up to the importance of these
friendly competitors in producing the best
fruits of the farm, and thus testing the relative
merits of implements and manufactures. We
estimate this increased interest as an evidence
of an important step forward, that should be
encouraged and stimulated by every legitimate
means.
A COLORED man was hanged at
Camden, South Carolina, last week, for murder
during a drunken brawl. The two men, who
had been almost inseparable friends, spent
several hours in a carousal, when the murderer,
provoked by a trivial remark, drew a pistol
and shot his companion dead. A satisfactory
departure from tne routine of executions was
the circumstance that the condemned man
asked to be forgiven by the world, instead of
tendering his forgiveness to all mankind.
FARMERS in many sections of the
State complain that they are being victimized
by stock buyers, who pay part cash and give a

We advise our readers to lie careful about tak
ing checks from strange parties. If you do not
know them or they have not satisfactory cre
dentials, keep your stock till you get the price
in cash. There are plenty stock buyers who
are well acquainted in this country to whom
you can sell.
CHARLES YOUNG whipped his wife
at New Philadelphia, Ohio, within a week
after their marriage. She had been a popular
bell, and a party of young men, probably in
cluding disappointed suitors, decided to
avenge her wrongs. They seized Young in
the street on a dark night, carried him to the
gas works, and puinped warm coal tar on him
until, the substance cooling, he was coated
several inches deep. Then they took him
home, placed him against the door-post, and
rang the bell.
A STABLE on the lot of Mr. James
Ilazlett, in Springdale, was discovered to be on
fire, before daylight last Friday morning, and
in less than one hour it, with a small quantity
of hay, was entirely consumed. Mr. Evans'
stable on the lot adjoining (Conn's) was saved
by hard work. The wind blew the flames
directly upon it, but by throwing water both
upon tne inside anil outside, it was saved. Had
it gone, George SchalFner s big barn would
have also gone. The fire was undoubtedly the
work of incendiaries.
A MAN recently rode from New
York to Chicago and back in a bicycle. The
direct distance Dy road is about 1,200 miles, he

from the direct route to visit several towns and
cities. Although professionals have lately
riddeu at the rate of a mile in 2 minutes 37
seconds, the greatest speed attained to on his
journey was on an excellent road between
Poughiceepsie and Ithinebeck, a distance of
fifteen miles. His time was 1 hour.

EX-SIIERIFF WILLIAMS, of Arm
strong county, who was tried before the U. S.
District Court in Pittsburgh, last week, upon an
indictment charging him with fraudulently
drawing a pension for his mother, was acquitted.
The evidence showed that while there was an
informality in the matter, the pension was
drawn with the full knowledge and consent of
old Mrs. Williams, and that the money thus
drawn, and more, was used for the sup[>ort of the
beneficiary. Mr. Williams, upon the announce
ment of the verdict, was surrounded by many
friends who warmly congratulated him upon
the result of the trial.
A STATEMENT of the business of all
the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
Eany east of Pittsburgh and Erie for Septem
er, 1879, as compared with the snmc period in
1878, shows an increase on gross earnings of
$477,882 ; an increase in ex [tenses of $289,440,
and an increase in net earnings of $188,442.
The nine months of 1879, as compared wi(h the
same period in 1878, shows au increase in gross
earnings of $1,690,294, an increase in expenses
of $1,289,196, and an increase in net earnings of
$407,098. All lines west of Pittsburgh and
Erie for the nine months of 1879 show a sur
plus over liabilities of $495,277, being a gain
over the same period in 1878 of $489,.W0.
THE fate of Prof. Wise, the aero
naut, continues to lie discussed and speculated
about. The nearest approach to a solution of
the mystery was the discovery of a package of
papers on the beach of I.ake Michigan, near
La K e Station, Indiana, the other day, which
proved to lie some of the advertising circulars
which Prof. Wise carried with him when he
left St. Louis. They were partly buried in the
sand on the edge of the lake, and appeared to
have been washed ashore. As the balloon
was seen passing over this place in the direc
tion of the lake on the evening it left St. Louis,
there i* every reason to fear that the missing
voyager* found their death in the waves.
A CURIOUS case of breach of promise
of marriage was decided in Albany, N. Y.,
lately. Tne peculiarity lies in thofact that the
&laintiff is a sort of "aunt to the defendant,
eing a half sister of his mother. But the
jilted aunt Is six years the junior of her faith
less lover-nephew, and the affection between
them appeared to be exceeding strong, their cor
respondence having a great deal to say about
embracing and kissing. The jury condemned
the fickle nephew to pay his auut her full
claim of SIO,OOO damages, and would probably
have made it $50,000 but for the timely caution
of the Judge that they could not award more
than the sum claimed. Young men should
beware how they trifle with the uffection* of
their aunts.

IT is a noteworthy fact that while
on the other side of the Atlantic veterinary
surgeons are almost as numerous, and we may
say, considered relatively as indispensable as
doctors of medicine, they are practically un
known in the United States. Tne whole num
ber of educated and skilled veterinarians in
this country at present, it has beea asserted on
good authoritv, does not exceed three hundred,
at the most liberal estimate. It is only in the
largest cities where great numbers of domestic
animals are congregated, such as car horses
and dairy cattle, that there has been made any
skilled effort for the prevention and cure of
diseases from which these animals may suffer.
This almost total absence of veterinarians is
not due to a lack of work for them, but rather
to a want of appreciation of what they might
accomplish in saving animal life.

DIPHTHERIA is as much of a terror
to the household as scarlet fever, and anything
that will tend to mitigate its ravages or cure the
inaladv itself, will be hailed with satisfaction.
Mr. J.'F. Krause, of Altoona, had a four-year
old daughter that was desperately ill of diph
theria—so ill, indeed, that the physicians said
she could not live half an hour. He deter
mined to try a remedy of his own, and took
about a half teacupful of crude petroleum, into
which he put three cents' worth of gum
camphor, heating the petroleum until the
camphor was dissolved. \\ ith this mixture he
swabbed her throat inside and bathed it on the
outside. Inside of two hours the child was
relieved. This was in the evening, and the
next morning the child was able to sit at the
table and eat her breakfast. The remedy is
simple enough, easily procured and is worth
further trial.

YELLOW fever, which attacked Mem-
Ehis early in July, holds on stubbornly, and
alfascore of new cases are reported daily.
Hardly has the earth made a revolution in all
these months during which burials have not
taken place. Those who have not fled have
remained, not to transact business, but to care
for the sick and to bury the dead. They have
been cut off from the outer world, and of ne
cessity have suffered privations. These latter
davs nave been the hardest ones, for the strain
is beginning to tell, and time lag 3 while wait
ing for the welcome frost that is exacted to
wipe out the infection. The disease is getting
a foothold, too, in Greenville and Forest City,
being nt the latter place of so malignant a type
that thirteen cases out of sixteen soon
proved fatal. Fortunately, this spread of the
fever comes too late in the season to excite
fears of widespread results.

EVEN in the terrible annals of ma
rine tragedy it is rare to find such a combina
tion of horrors as accompanied and followed
the burning of a steamer off' tne coast of Cuba,
a few days ago. Fire catching among boxes of
petroleum and running swiftly through the
vessel just at dawn; a hurried rush of the
passengers from their beds; the swamping of
most of the boats ; the floating of the survivors
all day long, and many of them through the
night and into the next morning, on planks, to
which they clung with scorched hands, naked,
in the tropical sunshine, while the salt sea
washed their burns; and the appearance of
sharks, which devoured some of the unhappy
wretches before the eyes of their companions—
these are part of the pictures in the panorama.
The captain of-the rescuing steamer appears to
have executed his duty of searching and sav
ing most faithfully, but he succeeded in pick
ing up only seventeen of the sixty passengers
and crew.

LAST Thursday the people of York
town, aided by the Governors, or their repre
sentatives, of' the thirteen original States, by
the lads of the training ships lately at Hamp
ton Roads, by the garrison of Fort Monroe, !>y
the militia of Richmond, Hampton, W illiams
burg, Portsmouth and Norfolk, by civic socie
ties, and by the citizens of southeastern Vir
ginia in general, commemorated the ninety
eighth anniversary of the capitulation of Lord
Cornwallis to Gen. George Washington. The
national importance of the ceremony consisted
in its being the preparatory step for a greater
ceremony two years hence. A permanent or
ganization was formed to secure a tit centennial
observance, though the co-operation of the en
tire Union, of the most memorable victory in
the War of the Revolution. With frank recog
nition of the real character of this celebration,
even its date has been made one of convenience
rather than historical accuracy, since the sur
render took place not October 23, but October
19th, 1781.

IN the Criminal Court of Allegheny
county, last Saturday, the Court charged the
jury in the case of tne Commonwealth vs. Geo.
R. and James 11. Riddle, President and Cashier
of the Allegheny Savings Bank, whose trial
was on an indictment charging thern with
embezzlement and conspiracy to defraud. The
Court said that if overdrafts were allowed, the
money converted to the defendants' use, or to the
use of firms with which they were connected,
which was the same thing, and the defendants
purposely concealed the fact of their allowance
from the Board of Directors, they were guilty.
It was not a question of negligence on their
part, or on the part oi the Board of Directors.
It was not a question in the case whether the
Directors should have known of these over
drafts. The question was : Did the defendants
purposely conceal the fact ? The intent was to
be considered. Did they intend to defraud the
bank ? And in the question of intent the testi
mony as to the previous good character of
defendants was an imjmrtarit element. The
jury retired about eleven o'clock, and remained
out until after one o'clock in the afternoon,
when they came in with a verdict of guilty.

FEW of the travellers in sleeping
cars are aware that the wheels which bear
them across rapid rivers and lofty trestle-works
are of paper. The question whether pai»er
wheels are superior to iron wheels was tried at
some length in the United States Circuit Court
at Philadelphia, lately. George W. llalloway
and wife sued the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany for the loss of their son, whose death was
caused by an accident to a Pullman car at
tached to the Niagara express train on the night
of Nov. 1, 187* i. One of the wheels under the
forward truck of the palace car Woodbine
broke, and the result was that several persons
were killed and many wounded. The plain
tiffs contended that paper wheels were unfit
for use, and that the use of such wheels was
gross negligence on the part of the l'ullinan
Palace Car Company. A number of witnesses
took the same ground, and testified that only
wheels solidly cast were safe. On the other
hand, the defence claimed that the paper
wheels were more durable than the best iron,
and were practically indestructible. The
plaintiff's were nonsuited on the ground that
their testimony did not show any liability ,
whatever oil the part of the Pullman corpora
tion.

ONE of the ablest clergymen of
Philadelphia has lately delivered a discourse
urging the "carrying ot religion into politics"
as a means of resisting the profligacy and cor
ruption of those who make a trade of politics.
He thinks that demagogues ought to he hanged;
but while he does not urge violent measures,
he would have Christian men use their efforts
to expose and resist their evil work. A chief
difficulty in the way of effecting reform by
such a method as he proposes is that many of
the worst demagogues and of the most unscru
pulous party managers are members of Chris
tian churches, and it is greatly to be doubted if
clergymen and other pious people have the
courage to purify the churches by ex|>elliiig all
those who take part in the unclean work of
debased politics. If it were determined that
only men who are eminent for piety should
hold public offices, how should we find a satis
factory test of their Christianity ? The large
number of cases of men professing religious
faith, and taking an active part in pious move
ments who have betrayed important trusts and
brought disgrace and punishment upon them
selves, within the last few years, discourages
the hope of purging our political machinery
by placing it in the hands of those who make
a snow of religious devotion. "Tis true, 'tis
pity ; and pity Hi*, 'tis true."

Two very rich Maryland planters,
brothers, died about a quarter of a century ago,
one of them a bachelor, while the other left
several children, supposed to be illegitimate.
These latter inherited their father's estate l>y
the terms of his will, and on the death of their
bachelor uncle claimed his property also, as
being heirs at law of a man dying intestate.
Their claim was disputed by a cousin of the
deceased, who himself insisted upon being rec
ognized as nearest of kin, on the ground that
tne other claimants were illegitimate. These
latter proved their legitimacy, after a long
legal struggle, by finding in Europe the priest
who performed the marriage ceremony for their
, parents. They therefore obtained possession of
I their uncle's estate, but not until they had
' reduced themselves to j>overtv by a series of
contests that ended only in the highest Court
of the land many of the leading lawyers of
the nation having taken prominent part in the
struggle. Similar stories have been developed
in fiction, but always by the aid of lovely
maidens and hardened villains, an unexpected
and perfectly rapturous denouement being
brought about by a handsome lover. But in
this case the beginning of the end was pro
vided by that irrepressible marplot, the small
t boy. The bachelor brother, instead of dying
! intestate, made a will in favor of the cousin
who fought so hard the supposed heirs at law,
and left it with a Washington lawyer, who
went South at the beginning of the war, leav
ing with his office boy a box of papers to be
delivered to the persons addressed in case of
the non-return of the attorney, and the boy
probably forgot. A short time ago the young
ster, having presumably came to man's estate,
recovered his memory, and the wilt, the exist
ence of which had been unknown, was sent to
the cousin's lawyer, and the case is again to
go before the Supreme Court. The story is
stranger than any fiction, as all stories neces
earily are when the small boy has anything to
do with the facts.

Serious Aecident.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry K. Shanor, of this place,
met with a rather serious accident, near Kit
tanning, on Tuesday of last week, 24th inst.
They were on their way to visit some rela
tions living at Elderton, Armstrong county, and
traveling with a horse and buggy. While
descending a hill east of Kittanning about a
mile or so the horse took fright at, as is sup
posed, an umbrella that was hoisted, and ran
away, throwing them out violently on the earth,
breaking an arm and dislocating a shoulder of
Mrs. Shanor. Her injuries are severe but not
dangerous. Mr. Shanor also had one of his
arms injured, a wrist being dislocated. Their
baby, which Mrs. S. was carrying, was, strange
to say, not injured. They managed to get to a
house that was near, and physicians were soon
on hand, their wounds dressed, and in a day or
two they were removed to the residence of Rev.
Sweigert, of Kittanning, where they were
nursed until brought home here last Monday.
