One of the reasons for delaying the withdrawal of the British army of occupation from Candahar has been the fear that it would precipitate a sanguinary civil war, terminating in anarchy and the laying open the territory to a .Russian advance. —A Scotch minister in Skye lately saw in a London comic paper a cartoon showing Mr. Gladstone on his way to the Tower, for inviting the Russians to England. Mounting his pulpit the next Sunday morning he startled his congregation by the grave announce- j ment that the Russians had invaded England through the treacherous con nivance of Mr. Gladstone, and advised them to go straight home and set themselves to the defence of hearths and homes.

The engi neers had a strong band of followers, and were .will armed and equipped, but were surprised by hostile tribes and all the leaders except two were killed. These two retreeted with sixty-one men, to receive from another treacherous tribe sympathy and pois oned dates. The only surviving Frenchman, Polequin, with twenty eight natives, was at last accounts fighting for his life with another band of marauders, and the chances of a res cue were very slender. If the pioneers and surveyors are exposed to such deadly perils as these, the travelling public will learn with composure ofthe failure of th" enterprise and the delays which it involves.

An account of the affair closes with the statement that there is great indignation in tbe University, that tbe law should be invoked against students. It is fervently to be hoped that the matter may be sifted to the bottom and, if the accused be proved guilty, they may be punished, a* other persons would be punished, for the same offense, w th an added penalty for bringing into disrepute what should be peculiarly the training of gentlemen. Such a policy, rigidly adhered to, will : do much to'hasten the total extinction j of abuses that have their vitality simple from traditions, and are happily already ! much mitigated. —Of all the wonders which should, and do, among business men, attract attention and insure; c.irelul examina tion, that of the western and northern trade, II<JW (lowing eastward, where in exchanges another curt<-nt is created, which flows and divides between the two lirst points, is the most wonder ful feature in the commence of a con tinent, the American people, or any other people, for that matter, have been called to contemplate.

Few of the superior human race have a wider rep utation in America than did he—though he was only an eagle. He was taken from the nest of his parents, in Ctip pawa county, Wisconsin, then only a half feathered little eaglet, prior to 1801. The Indian who found him, sold him to a resilient of Eau Claire, in the same Slate, and was by him transferred to Company D of the Eighth Wisconsin Regiment, which was familiarly known as the "Eagle Regiment." With that company at the head of the regiment, he went through the war, participating in every fightof the many in which the regiment was engaged, and escaping all the perils of the field, was mustered out at the close of the war. Since that time he has lived in hon orable retirement, save when some emergency called for his services for the public good. Such an one was the exposition of 1876, which he attended from first to last, and hundreds of thousands of the Philadelphia pilgrims, of that year, romember his dignified bearing upon his perch, in the Agricul tural Building. A TOUGH TLMOR. —Jacob Smeltzer, an old citizen of Bell townsh'p, West moreland county, died recently, aged about 70 years, and in noticing his death it is as well to note the fact that for the past thirty years he has been a sufferer from a most peculiar affliction. At the beginning of that period a tu mor began to grow on his leg and, in a few years, hand gr<,wn so that it be came a burden to him iu every sen -e of the word. The local physicians ac knowledged their skill was without power to aid h'tu, and he accordingly paid a visit to Philadelphia thinking that some of the eminent surgeons in that city would be able to afford him relief; but his visit was a failure, as they declined to risk the removal of the tumor, fearing his life would be jeop ardised by the experiment, lie suffered no pain from the foreign mass but, as it was located on the inner side of the leg. he experienced much inconvenience from its presence. In order to keep it from bearing too heavily on the afflict ed limb, he supported it by bands cross ing his shoulders and attached to a sack covering the tumor. After Mr. Smelt zer's death (in the interest of science), the tumor was removed and examined by the local physicians. It was found to be a solid grisUy mass, covered by a heavy coat of flesh and weighed when stripped of its covering just 60 pounds! The ease has excited no little inte-est in medical circles, as it is certainly a curiosity never before brought to notice. Greenxbury Tribune and Herald. —IMPORTANT ARREST. —Ever since the ribbery of John Connor, reported in our last issue, a corps of detectives have been steadily at work trying to unravel the mystery and ferret out the cowardly perpetrators, and they now think they are in a fair way to accom plish their purpose. On Thursday eve ning constable R. W. Elder, armed with a warrant and accompanied by de tectives Geary of Pittsburgh,and lvribbs of Clarion, proceeded to the residence of Samuel Jackson, in Brady's Bend, and arrested Win. Harp, Jacob Ott and Win. Jackson, am! brought them before Er-quire McGreggor, where a charge of participation in the robbery was pre ferred against them. Upon the hearing evidence was adduced contradicting the statement of the prisoners as to their whereabouts on the evening in ques tion, and going to show that they were abroad at an unseemly hour and acting iu a suspicious manner. After hearing lie- evidence Justice McGroggor'decid ed to hold them to bail, and they being unable to secure the necessary security, a commitment was made out and they v, ere taken to Clarion jail, leaving here on the midnight express. The prisoners are ail well known in this community, having been raised from boyhood just across the river in Brady's Bend. They claim to lie able to prove by a number of witnesses a clear alibi, and thus ful ly establish their innocence, and we sincerely hope they may In* able to do so. However, the officers claim to be iu possession of evidence riot brought out at the hearing which goes to show that they were among the perpetrators of the dastardly deed.— EarA Brady Titties —The engineers are busy on the railroad survey down the creek. —The Butler, K lrus City and Bar ker Railroad bonds rose rapidly last week, feliing at 90 cents.

RUSSELL, ProthonotZ- A ISig Knowss. My wife had been ailing a Ion? time with dyspepsia and nervousness and was in hod two years with a complica tion of disorders her physicians could not cure, when I was led by rending a circular left at ray door to try Parker's Ginger Tonic. Having been so often deceived by worthless mixtures nothing but my wife's d.rigerous condition could have led us to make any more experiments. But it was a big success. Three bottles cured her, at a cost of a dollar and fifty cents, and she is now as strong os any woman, and regularly does her household duties.—-,R. D., Buffalo. Sec other column. 21, IBOUTMAN.
