BY the article in another place in this paper it will be seen that Guiteau wants out of prison and to become a lecturer. His safest place is doubtless where he is. THE proceediugs of the Convention of the Prohibition Reform Party of this county, came too late for insertion this week. Centreville items were too late also. They will appear in our next issue. MR DAVID DOUTHETT of Forward township, who had been confined to his home for some time past by a severe attack of rheumatism, was upon our street on Saturday last. We were pleased to see him and to know that he bad fully recovered his usual good health. OUK friend of the Meadvillc Repub lican does pretty well in "poking fun" at its "brethem of the press" here. We appreciate its humor. But it knows the origin, and who "struck first," and when and where. We would dispise ourself if we had been the first to "call upon the Sheriff" in the matter referr ed to. MERCER county has received all the nominations for State Treasurer no far made this year. Mr. R. W. Jackson of that county was nominated some time ago by the Greenback party as their candidate for Treasurer, and now the Prohibitionists have nominated Mr. James M. Wilson, of that county, as their candidate for the same office. ESQUIRE E. MAURHOFF of Saxonburg was in town on Monday last, and says that at present there are quite a number of Pittsburgh people sojourning in that pleasant little village. They come thereto escape from the dangers of the diseases prevailing in t.he city. Sev eral springs of chalybeate water exist around Saxonburg, which add to its at tractions. THE house of Rev. E. Ogden, of Middlesex township, this county, was entered by a thief one night recently and two watches stolen. One of the watches, a good one, had been presented to Rev, 0., not long since by members of his congregation. There is a"watch" on the track of the thief, who is sus pected, and will likely be brought to "time" soon. JUDGING from an article in the Eagle last week its editors and pro prietors made a narrow escape from prison. We had no idea but that they could "give bail," or security forcosts," and were quite releived when we learn ed that "the Judge in Chambers" had rather "strained a point of law" in fa vor of liberty. As the matter is now in Court we deem it premature and improper to make any "further re marks" concerning the same. DOCTOR Swissbelm, (JancG.,) is out in another caustic article in the Pitts burg papers, criticising the surgical and medical treatment of President Gar field. It may be that Doctor S., is right in some of her strictures, but in this case, of a "gun shot" wound, we would incline to have confidence in the treatment of the distinguished sur geons attending the President. In some other branches of the practice she might be received as an authority, but in this case we hope she may be mistaken in the opinions she has pro mulgated MR ANDREW BAYNE, a highly re spected citizen of Allegheny county, died at his residence in Bellevue,, that county, on Wednesday last, 3d inst. in the 87th year of his age. Mr. Bayne was the father of Hon. Thomas M. Bayne, present member of Congress from the Allegheny or 23d district. He had, many years ago, been Sheriff of the county and also served as a member of the Legislature from the same. The Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette of the 4th inst., in referring to his Legislative life says as follows : "Ex-Sheriff Bayne, who died yester terday, was a member of the State Legislature from this county, a half a century ago, away back in the thirties, in the days when member* from the country districts used to travel around in their bare feet, and during the noou intermission go out on the State House steps to eat their bread and cheese. This was held to lie undignified and a law was passed, which is still on the statute books, prohibiting members from eating their lunch on the steps." The above is in very strong contrast with the manner of living at Harris burg in these latter days ; particularly with the mode in which the members of our State Senate lived last winter, judging from the barber shop and other luxuries they had provided for them selves at the public expense. Had Mr. Bayne visited Harrisburg last winter he would have been horrified at the change. There is a law now needed in the other direction from the one passed in his day. "KOUMISS"—WHAT IT IS. The nourishment generally g>ven President Garfield is milk, toast and beefjuice. But as an experiment the sur geons occasionally give him a food called Koumiss, which is a Tartar drink and is thus described : ,: Koumiss," is in great repute among the Calmucks of soutn-eastern Russia as a nutritious and slightly stimulating drink. Koumiss, as prepared by the Tartars, is a thin, whitish fluid with a milky taste and a slightly pungent fla vor, and is made by distilling mare's milk while it is undergoing the process of fermentation. It has a great repu tation ia south-eastern Europe and western Asia not only as an invigorat ing stimulant but as a nourishing food, and a large establishment, popularly known as the "Koumiss Cure," was founded on the Volga river, near Samara, a few years since, and visited by invalids from all parts of Russia. IT seems strange at this day that desperadoes of the character described in another place should exist in so thickly a settled place as McKeesport, Allegheny county, and only twelve miles from Pittsburgh. Had that mur der been committed by bandits in the far west it might not have been won dered at. but when it comes to pass in an old part of this State we think it time that there should be better police regulations than seem to exist in Al legheny conntv, and more severity there in the administration of the law generally. In this case robbers, who it was supposed would flee when seen, shoot down a man rather than give up their stolen property. We have never favored Lynch law, but an example of that kind seems too necessary in Alle gheny county. THE PRESIDENT—ANOTH ER OPERATION. The first news received hero on Mon day of this week was to the effect that on Saturday and Sunday last there had been aw unfaForabJe change in Presi dent Garfield's condition. Hut |a|er news proved the reports not so serious. A higher fever had arisen and was at tributed to another obstruction of a free flow of matter from the wound. Vof remedy of this another cutting had to be done, after and sippp which his condition improved. pon.- tinues good, and all other symptoms are still favorable. The following is the account given of this last operation : WASHINGTON, August B.—All the doctors were in the President';* rpom before eight o'clock this morning, which was somewhat earlier than usu al, and nothing could be heard from them except what was made known through the first bulletin. The use to which yesterday's prepa ration had been put was apparppt soon after ten o'clock, when lilaine came from the doctors' room. He was asked what was going on inside, and replied that an extra bulletin was fcoou to be issued with full particulars. It was at once thought the ball had been cut out, but such proved not to be the case. Before the bulletin was issued it was discovered an operation had been per formed. It seemed tbo physicians agreed that an increased temperature was due to the tardy flow of pus. Ot course whenever the wound was dressed the flow appeared all right, but the indica tions were that the flow was not steady, as shown by impaired temperature each night, after the tube bad been thoroughly cleaned, hence suspicion that an improved aperture was needed. To this end such aperture wat made this morning. Tne President was informed that an operation was necessary and that it was deemed best to place him under the influence of ether. He made no ob jection. Dr. Bliss used the knifa while Dr. Agnew assisted in holding open the wound and directing the incision. The start was made at the mouth of the incision of two weeks ago, and the new cut made in a downward direction, iucreased in size so that the channel is now below the twelfth rib instead of above. By this means the old wound channel and region above the shattered rib has a free change to heal up, being now entirely separated from the chan nel. The President speedily recovered from the effect of the ether and asked Bliss what had been done. The doc tor told him and he expressed himself well satisfied. He remained comforta ble after the operation and at 11:30 was doing nicely. The physicians expect this operation will cure the re cent trouble, but a close watch will be kept on its issue. Dr. Hamilton will probably return to New York this evening. Prof. Taintor was on hand with a battery for testing the electric probes this morning, but it was deemed unnecessary to make an experiment. 1 p. M.—The President's pulse at the close ot the operation was 118. Since then it hat; fallen to 101, ami is still falling. The President is suffer ing no ill effects from the operation. THE Kittanning Prex* of last week, has the following to say about the "State Senate Barber shop" business : "After the exposures it is not likely that the Senate will continue to have its barber in the future. If Senators want their faces powdered and hair curled let them do it at their own ex pense. And they will no doubt havo I to do this, for the people in future will I remember that it cost the State just $2G.(10 for shaving the face aud dress ing the hair of each Senator. They will demand a law to be passed forev er forbidding any ench fraud in the fu ture. And this reform will bav/ts been brought about by the Republican part} What wore can the people ask '/ They first expose tbi htyud and will then punish the offenders." ®||je S§*tl*e Citixen: s£«., Cluiteau Wauls Bail and lo Eec tnre— He Desires Emery Morrw to Act as His Attorney. WASHINGTON, August s.—Guiteau's petition to be admitted to bail is in some respects one of the most remarka ble documents that has ever been drawn up for the consideration of a court of justice. It is now in the posses sion of District Attorney Corkhill, in whom Guiteau has the most implicit confidence and to whom he intrusts all his secrets, if a man who talk? so freely and unreservedly can be said to have anv secrets. Guiteaujis undoubt edly becoming anxious to escape the penalty of his crime. It is true that he has" professed all along to be per fectly willing to take the judgment of his countrymen. Lie undoubtedly thought that when he shot the Presi dent he was doing what the majority of the people of the country demanded. It may be that he was as crack-brained as he pretended to be. and that he la bored under the delusion that Mr. Ar thur would protect him from the gal lows on his coming to the performance of the duties of the Presidency. How ever all this may be, it is apparent that now he has liad enough of imprison ment, and that he has made up his mind that he will escape the penalty of the law by the plea of His petition to be admitted to bail is drawn in legal form, although, as will be seen, there is much in it that no lawyer would care to i asert, while thure is much that a cunning man, who Is de termined to feign insanity or a man really insane, would make part of his application. Should a lawyer be ap pointed to conduct Guiteau's case this application will unquestionably be used as evidence of insanity. Guiteau in asking for release on bail expresses great sorrow that the President has suffered so muchjand so long from the wound he inflicted. He did not intend to cause him pain, but to remove him from the world instantly, and he seem? to ask a favorable consideration from the Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia because be feels as much sympathy as anyone for tbe suffering President. He asks his release because be fpars that confine ment will make him insane. He repels with scorn the idea that he is insane, or that he was insane when he conceiv ed or committed the crime. He insists stronglv that he is now sane, but he says that he feels "the nimbus of in sanity playing his tyraiq." He then goes on to recite some facts that indicate that there is insanity in his father's family. He says that his father himself was a religious monoma niac and that two relatives on his father's sidp have beef), f*nd one is per haps still, confined in asylums* rot the insane. He repeats again and again that he fears that the unaccustomed confinement will result in driving him mad, and he urges his release on that ground if no other, although he thinks that, iii.dsr the circumstances, the Pres ident's recovery being now ri?ga.r<Jetl a§ certain, justice demands that he should be admitted to bail. He olFers a bond of fifteen hundred dollars, although he says that his own recognizance would be as good, as he wants to be tried and would present himself iu court on the dqy appointed as peptainly as the day will coiue, whith he shall be Febtuary 1, 1882. He announces that he proposes to make his own defense, with competent legal assistance. It may be mentioned iu this connection that (iuiteau is very desirous that lirst- Jejya| talent ejionld assist him. He says be wants nowe of f.b° rity'-taff of the bar, and lie has more than once suggested that Hn.ory StoFF* shall be his lawyer. Guiteau wants his tempo rary release not only that he may es cape impending insanity, but that he mify i-ifl(e $ trio to Europe, where he wishes to remain a moptb op Jfe is evidently still under tlic impression that his labor and sufferings demand s&me reward, and that the suggestion that he ought tc a little recreation (that is the word used by hiinj receive favorable consideration from the court. While in Europe he says be will devote himself to the preparation of a lecture on a political subject, which ho ptGpose* tQ t}eliypr on his return to this country. He tells th*j touU thst he will undoubtedly "draw" well as a lecturer, and states that he lias been so advised by others. Guiteau has been convinced, however, that he had better not be released on bail. Since tjravying - his petition he has begun to realise that it woi}ld nof be safe for bim to make bis appearanco in the public streets. He fears the violence of the mob just as keenly as he did on the day when he shot the President, and he has therefore asked District Attorney Corkhill to keep the petition and not to present it to thp Court. In aeooi'donu; ftMjh that re quest, it is safely locked up in the Dis trict Attorney's office, but its principal features have been given above. Correspondence.

Mr. Negley, Butler, Pa.: DEAR Slß: —Accept my thanks for the friendly notice of my book, contain ed in your isgije of July 20, received to-day. However, it does not pop tain an account of all the battles in which Company D was engaged, but only those of 1804, viz Wilderness, Spott sylvania, Northam, Bethesda Church, also the experience of what was left of the ''JipspFVes," from June of (14 till the close of the way. Their service during the latter period is not excelled for brilliant and desperate lighting. The account of Gaines'Mill battle is only incidental, and aside from the real plan of the work, which is to give a narrative of eyents as 1 saw them. I mention this, fearing some one might be disappointed, if they should expect an account of "all the; battles." Would you have the kindness to call attention to this?

The people of McKeesport, a town ou the Monougahela river a few in ilea above Pittsburgh, were greatly excited on Tuesday of last week over the mur der of George MeClure a hardware merchant of that town, by a gang of desperadoes who had robbed his store on the Sunday night previous: On Sunday night the grocery and hardware store of MeClure & Hender son was robljed of some two or three hundred dollars' worth of goods, prin cipally hardware. A trace of the iheives having been obtained, MeClure and aconstable named Lynch started out on Tuesday to Dead Man's Hollow, an almost impenetrable mass of woods, a short distance below Elrod's station, about two miles above McKees port. The clue which led to ascertain ing where the robbers were was the fact that on Monday evening parties were seen unloading a lot of goods from a freight car at Elrod's. On Mon day a search warrant was issued at the instance of MeClure, and the house of a man named Lightner was searched. No goods were found, as the parties had had been warned, and five of them took a train and went away from town. Tuesday morning MeClure, Wilbert, Hendricks and Joseph Lynch went to Yough Hill to search for the goods. Thev found pieces of paper from kuife and revolver boxes scattered about the ground near a spring, followed them HP to a hollow log, where a silver cas ter and other good* wupe found, lien: drickson came home, and Lynch and MeClure went to the house of George Fleming, in Dead Man's Hollow, and ate supper, and Fleming went back with them. MeClure had no idea, however, that fhpre were sq many persons in the party of robbers, and therefore did not deem it necessary to take more than one oficer with him His idea, too, was simply to gain the plunder more than to capture the thieves At Dead Man's Hollow he met a man named Fleming, a fortnet constable, who yol. unteered to show MeClure and Lynch where the plunder was likely to be found. The three had wandered around ' nearly all afternoon until about dark. was sitting at the foot of a large cedar tree resting. Fleming was not far away and Lynch was a little distance off, when suddenly there ap peared before MeClure seven men, all armed. "Here," exclaimed one of the robbers, "is one of the ," jiuu f e«}iatejy pommenced firing. A dozen or more shots were tired, ona of them taking effect in McClure's fore head, killing him instantly. Fleming received a ball in his leg, not, however causing a serious wound. Fleming was not armed, and of course could not return tlie fire, Lynch iiad {■ VQ rp r volvers, but took to his heels immedia tely after the firing commenced, lie claims that he fired five shots and thinks he hit one of the robbers, but Fleming don't think so. After the first volley, when MeClure was ahfjt, the fjpgppadoes turned their attention to Fleming, and he, when wounded, as he could not walk, rolled down a hill and escaped. Immediately after the news of the shooting reached the town tremendous excite ment was created. Crowds of people gathered and went out to the scgjje of tfii: tragedy, oji horseback, in wagons, on foot ana'every wajr," going out on nluo o'clock train. A determined effort was made to find the thieves and murderers, hut the density of the undergrowth in the woods and tl}o i]arknp«s of the ni*rht prevented any Qf then} (>eipg A party consisting of officers Hoflf- Flowers. Chief Smith and two sons aiid ex-Oief loft at & o'clock for Yough Hill and got there after the shooting. The desperadoes were last seen crossing a meadow toward the Lpeyh fyrnj, at o, fyll riJD. Two of them bought cartridges af,'a drug store in Boston, across the river from Elrod. The store-keeper can indentify them. The murderers are McKeesport roughs, who BonietiiuiiH VQFk jo filing m'J'§ and at odd jobs. The names of the suspected persons are Jack Dacy Jack Lee, McConkey, Carroll, John Light ner, Heenan Lightner, and a man call ed Shorty. About one hundred and lift/ *rGm McKeesport end fifty from Boston and many others from other places went at once in search. Tele grams and messengers were sent up and down the river and elsewhere. The desperadoes are all young men but three. Three of them wore light hate and yeet9. ffte murderers Stifle two loaded revolvers and the contents of a pocket-book Irom McClure's body and rifled all l)is pockets. MsClure's body was not found until about half past nine o'clock. After Fleming and Lynch got away from the scene of the murder, they could not remember very distinctlv where it was. The officers and other people who went up from McKeesport did not learn for some time where the body was lying. It was first found by some men from Boston, who went out as soon as they heard the nfj\ys of the afla|r r j'hev would not remove the body until the McKeesport officers arrived. The in tensity of fcejiijg of t hose who started ont to hunt the robbers is Indicated by the fact that one of them, a man named Maginnis fell over the bank into the river in geting down to the crossing place, but nothing daunted swam across the rivet, wriyi&g on fchp opposite side as soon as the others, and fully as anx ious to go up the hill. The murdered man, George A. Me- Clure, was about forty-five years old, and leaves a wife and several children, i[is body was brought baej( to Me I\ooß - at midnight. The Council of McKeesport held a special meeting on Wednesday, and offerfid for the arrest and convic tion of the murdeier, and iIUU ea< h fop the otherparties implicated The police authorities in their search around the Hollow found the sweetheart of one of the supposed robbers. She hail a pho tograph of three of the men which was secured, and copies taken of it and sent in all directions. Ther also sent with thesp metres tlje following de scriptions of the men accused Qf the horrible murder: John Lightner, aged 22, dark, short hair, mixed dark brown and gray pants, dark sack coat. 'Arizona Shorty,' short, dark hair, dark blue pants and vest and brown coat, about 30 years old, formerly from Altoona. Ward McConkey, dark, short hair and black pants and coat, about five feet high, a young man. John Baizy, red hair, known as 'Buck Baizy,' formerly from Altoona, square built and heavy set in propor tion. 'Nig' Lee wore on last Sunday a blue suit, a large ring on his left hand, dark hair, about 22 years oid, with a a smooth face. The County Commissioners of Alle ghonv Co. met and decided to offer a reward for the arrest of the murderers This, with the reward offered by the McKeesport Councils, will make about $1 ,500 for the arrest of all the despera does. TIIE SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY. Dead Man's Hollow, where the mur der was committed, is a hroad ravine that extends toward the Youghioghenv river, making an acute angle with that stream as it passes the place. The river runs with but little winding past this place and empties into the Monon gahela about two and a half r..iles be low the scene of the shooting. On either side of the ravine mentioned Is a high hill. Campble's house stands on the top of tha hill opposite to where the crime was committed, and farther back in the hollow, leaving the scene of the shooting in full view from his doorstep, on which bis wife and daugh ter were seated at the time. They called him up from the field when thev saw the shooting and told him that they had seen five men ning from the place up the ravine, They were pretty certain of the num ber and said between twenty and thir ty shots had been fired in all. They could not, however, give any descrip tion of the parties, the distance being too great to distinguish them clearly. Personal Mention.

The month of July, ISSI, witnesses the completion of the largest and most important literary work this country and the century have seen. It is the Library of Universal Knowledge, large type edition, in 15 large octavo volumes, containing 10 per cent more matter than Appleton's Cyclopaedia, at less than one-fifth its cost, and 20 per cent more than Johnson's Cyclopedia, at a little more than one-fourth its cost. Chambers's Encyclopaedia, which forms the basis of the Library of Universal Knowl edge (the last London edition of ISBO being reprinted verbatim as a portion of its con tents), is the laborious product m# "_ x a mm*. m of the British and Euro pean scholarship. It has devel- If I QTOIY cped throu 8 h a century of Cy clopaedia making; its various editions having been many times revised, in successive years, till it has come to be universally recognized, by those com petent to judge, as standing at the very front of great aggregations of knowledge, and better adapted than any other Cyclopaedia for popular use. It contains such full and important information as the ordinary reader, or the careful student, is likely to seek, upon about 25,000 subjects in every department of human knowledge. Chambers's Encyclopaedia, however, is a foreign production, edited and published for a foreign market, and could not be ex- ■ ■■ ■ pected to give as much promi nence to American topics as ■■ 1* I American readers might de sire. To supply these and ■ Wi ■ iIW other deficiencies a large corps of American editors and writers have added important articles upon about 15,000 topics, covering the entire field of human knowledge, bringing the whole number of titles under one alphabetical arrangement to about 40,000. Thus the work is thoroughly Americanized, and the Libr. ry of Universal Knowledge becomes at once the latest and most complete Encyclopaedia in the field, at a mere fraction of the cost of any similar work which has preceded it. DKIAA tlie volumes « complete, in extra cloth binding, $15.00. In half rnce Russia, sprinkled edges, $20.00. In half Russia, gilt top, $22.50. In lull library sheep, marbled edges, fa;. oo. The superlative value and importance of this great Encyclopaedia lies especially In th» fact that it is brought within the reach of every one who aspires after knowledge and culture. It \s really a libra- M ■ _ ■ ry of universal knowl edge. It brings a liberal education easily within the reach even of every ■ 1 M VI ■ plowboy of the country and apprentice boy of the city. Every farmer and every mechanic in the land owes it to himself and to his children that si>ch A Cyclopaedia shall henceforward form a part of the> outfit of his home, Tu th* professional man, and every person of intelligence In every walk of life, a Cyclopaedia is a necessity. Of course the old and wealthy publishers who have grown rich (It fa said that the Appletons have made a profit of nearly two million dollars on their Cyclopaedia) from the sale of their high-priced publications are not pleased that their monopolies are broken and their power overthrown. Of course the book agents and booksellers who have been used to getting from 40 to 60 per cent con;\n\iss(or\ for selling these high priced books are SIO,OOO Reward 5 " 9** ww on 15 per cent commission s though those who are not short-sighted discover that their own interests, after all, are identical with the interests of the people, and their real profits, in the end. are* increased, by the immense sales which result from meeting the people's wants.
