Editob Hkkald: Tho American vapors few weeks ago reiterated with most clrcura stantial detail thostory of the horrible maess are of Lithuanian Catholics at Kroscht Busiia, but their dotailod description of the Russian govarnmcnl's an ' Cossaeks' fiendish cruelty towards Lithuanians (not J'ous. erroneously stated by tho New York Herald) no not mention many things, whicn although taoy may seem iacredlble to a person not ac qaalutcd with the Coasscks and KUBSlan out cials. aro equally true and attested by eve witnesses. For instance, it is difficult for an American to credit that Uonacks could bury in cess pools not only tbe killed but tin wounded alive, some of them calling for priest. Hut this is a fact. A Lithuanian paper in Prussia called the Apzvalaa, jirints a detailed correspondence from Krosche by an eye-witnoss. in which he montiom what appears to some to bo Incredible bar barity, and some of tho Russian policemen ronlirm his statements. At present it is lm possible to state tho authentic number of killed and wounded mm buried alive, or publish their names, because Governor Klingsberg, under the heaviest penalty, hss prohiollod tno poopie oven tospeaicnr Krowhi and a reward of 25 roubles (about J20) ii onerea to those whowill report any commcuts in that direction. Tho Czar himself cannot ret reliable information of tho aflair Krosche, because his special delegates sent to investlKate the matter are bribed by ih local Governors. For instance, Dnke Kanta oouics, who was delegated, to make thorough investigation at Krosche, was defalned by Governor General Orzevskl in Vllna and got a pieco of real cstato woith -VJUU.uuu : and iastoad ri going to Kroscno, he returned to St. 1'olersburg and informed the Crar that there was no massacre! Our countrymen, however. In Lithuania, are working without intermission. There is the greatest difficulty and risk in gathering th details of this sorruwful niatacre. Poopie in the vicinity of Kro'che are terrified by their atrocious Governors and refuse to give lnlor mation of the affair to tho inquirers, but we hope to edit, within a lew mantbs, a detailed description of themaisacro ot the Lithuanian Catholics at that place with the authentic number of men killed, wounded and burled alive, as well as the ihiiihh of the victims.

Emtok IlEBAtu Your l'ottavllle eorres vondent is somewhat iu error regarding tli mileage allowed the Judges of Election ITaietofore the mileage vtas tiz ceats per mile, each way, aud over the Heading road via Tamaqua, this amount, with ii tot services made fS.SO. Ou Wednesday they wero only allowed 16 cents for mileage, $3 for services and $2 for puttiug up and taking down booths, a total of fcr."H. Out of this many of the judges paid $2 for the booth, work became they could not attend to it themselves, and that left them but $3.78 for twodayB' wuie and their fare, while the inspectors and clerks got $.'1 eaeh for but one day's work and have not aa much responsi bility. I don't think this wage system is fairly apportioned. O. Shenandoah, Feb. S3, 1H. Married, Jesse Williams and Miss Susan 1.
