It hae been determined to create a Columbian Liberty Bell to be placed by the lovers of liberty and peace in the most appropriate place in the coming World's Exhibition at Chicago. After the close of the Exhibition this bell will pass from place to place throughout the world as a missionery of freedom, coming first to the capital of the nation under the care of the society. Then it will goto Bunker Hill or Liberty Island, to the battle field of New Orleans (1812), to San Fran cisco, to the place where any great patriotic celebration is being held, until I#oo, when it will be sent to the next World's Exhibition, which takes place at Paris, France. There it will continue until that Exhibition closes. When not in use in other places, it will return to Washington under the care oi the Daughters of the American Revolution. Washington will be its home, and from there it will journey from place to place, folfilling its mission throughout the world. The following is the proposed use Of the bell: It shall ring at sunrise aid sunset; at nine o'clock in the morning on the anniversaries of the days on which great events have oc cured marking the world's progress toward liberty; at twelve o'clock on the birthdays of the "creators of liberty;" and at four o'clock it will toll on the anniversaries of their death. (It will always ring at nine o'clock on October 11th, in recog nition of the organization on that day of the Daughters of the Ameri. can Revolution-) By this means the bell will keep continually in the minds of those within reach of its Bound, the memories of the men and who have led in the Work for liberty and peace, and the anniversaries of . the great events resulting from their •Sorts. Mrs. Cleveland has sent an auto graph latter to Miss Desha, vice- Chairman of the Columbian Liberty Bell Committee, accepting an invi tation to release the melted material from the furnace into the mold cast ing the Columbian Liberty Bell by touching an electric button in the White House connected by a direct Wire With the furnace at Troy, N. Y., on the anniversary of Washington's inauguration at the opening of the Columbion Exposition. The movement for the permanent MUblishment of the Liberty Bell developes With the hours and contri butions are going in from every quarter of the globe from persons interested in it. Mrs. Lulu Gordon, sister of Gov ernor Gordon, has sent a spoon belonging to John G. Calhoun; the daughter of Lucretia Mott has sent ■ froit knife; Robert Lincoln, Min ister to England, promises a link from the ehain that his father wore at the time of his assassination; Mrs. Schuyler, jr., will give mementoes from Alexander Hamilton and Gen eral Schuyler; a dozen flints taken from the room in which Jefferson Wrote the Declaration of Indepen dence • lock from his gun have been received; Mrs. Prince, wife of the Governor of New Mexico, gave a copper kettle beat out of native eopper by the Indians long before the discovery of America, and a piece of native silver ore, mined by herself 340 feet below ground; Idaho MM the privilege of making (he bell entirely of native silver, and upon this being refused promised silver from every mine in the state! James P. Upham contributes all the copper plates from which the print ing was done in conectlon with the New York school children Colum bian Day celebration; Mrs. Bring hurst, daughter of Gen. Sam Hous ton, representing Texas, sends valuable contributions in connection with his memory, and a Quakeress from Philadelphia contributes a bit of the original Liberty Bell. A Fight With A Maniac. LANCASTER, April 11.—'Under keeper H. H. Moore, of the county prison, had a desperate struggle this morning with an insane prisoner who tried to kill him. J. C. Van Nostran, formerly of Wilkes-Barre, a drum mer, who was committed to jail to await trial on a charge of embezzle ment, became insane recently and a few days ago the court ordered his removal to the Norristown assylum. This morning Moore entered the cell to get Van Nostran ready for re moval, and the latter asked the keeper to pack his valise. While thus engaged the madman jumped on Moore and struck him a stunning blow. The keeper was knocked on his back and managed to give the crazy man a terrific kick in the stomach, when the latter at tempted to follow up the advantage of the first blow, and Moore thus gained enough time to get up. Yan Nostran assaulted him again, and al though the keeper is a powerful man, it was only after a long and desper ate struggle that he managed to dis engage himself and escape from the cell. He returned with two deputy sheriffs, and as he stepped into the cell was struck a fearful blow over the head with a broomstick. The madman was then quickly over powered and taken to Norristown. EA OLESMERE ITEMS. The new minister that delivered his first sermon here on Sunday last was very much liked by many people. The Band of Hope met at the home of Mr. N. M.

A Wort TO THE Boys. if we are to have drunkards in the future some of them are to come from the boys who will read this. Well, here is a plan that is just as sure to save you from such a fate as the sun is to rise to'morrow. It never failed, it never will fail, and it is worth knowing. Never touch liquor in any form. This is the plan, and it is worth putting into practice. You don't drink now, and it seems as if you never would. But your temptation will come, and it will probably come this way. You will find yourself sometime with a number of companions, and they will have a bottle of wine on the table. They will drink and offer it to you. They will think it a manly practice, and very likely they will look upon you as a milksop if you don't indulge with them. Then what will you do ? will you say, "No, no; none of that stuff for mc!" Or will you take the glass, with your common sense protesting and your conscience making the whole draft bitter, and then go off with a hot head and skulking soul that at once begins to make apologies for itself, and will keep doing so all its life ? Boys, do not become drunkards. Total-Abstinence Bartenders. A "Bartenders' Union" has been organized in this city to promote "sobriety" among its members. They desire to be able to guarantee that their members can be trusted to handle money. The majority favor the rule to require all members to be total abstainers.

Thratcher Graves, who was con victed of the murder of Mrs. Barn aby, of Providence, R. 1., will go free. The County Commissioners to-day refuse to appropriate funds to defray the expenses of witnesses who are now in the East. District Attorney Steele says that it will be almost impossible to again try Graves, as he has no funds to proceed with. The former trial cost James H. Conrad, son-iu-law of Mrs. Barnaby, $30,000.
