A dispatch from Berlin dated on
Thursday last, says Hon. Bayard Tay
lor, Minister from the U. 8. at the Ger
man court, died at 4 o'clock this after
noon. The fatal symptoms came on

was transacting business with the ofti
cials of the American legation yester
day. His deathvns peaceful and pain
less. .
" Jim" Keen is very rich, but is now
in a fair way to get poorer. Ho claims
to wish to benefit the farmer, and bo has
purchased and paid for three million
bushels of wheat which he says he
means to hold till it will bring him $1
per bushel. He says by this means ho
is doing the farmer great service, but as
wheat has fell off a little it seems as
though his speculation does liot yet
effect the price, while this immense
quantity will be held ready to drop on
the market at any time, this having a
tendency to weaken the price continu
ally. National Campmeetlng to bo Held in York
County.
The National Association forthe'Tro
motion of Holiness" recently held a
meeting in Philadelphia, arranging the
work for the ensuing year. Six states
sent urgent invitations to hold national

with all the requests, unamimously re
solved to hold one Central National
Campmeeting at Summit Grove, on the
line of the Northern Central Railway,
at New Freedom, York county. The
campmeeting is to begin July 80, 1870,
and continue ten days. All the members
of the National Association will be invi
ted. Correspondence and the making
of all arrangements will be in charge of

Cohoes, N. Y., December 19. At

and two daughters, Mary Ann, aged 22
and Bridget, aged 13, were in the build

older one so badly burned that she can
not survive, while the younger one was

Murder in Franklin County.
On Tuesday a colored man named
John Anderson and Sarah his wife,
moved into a new log house at Wolffs
town, a negro settlement near Chambers
burg. In the evening a dance, to which
a small admission fee was asked, whs
given, and to which quite a number re
paired. During the evening and after
several dances had taken place, Peter
Swingler raised a fuss, pulling off Ills
coat, and averring angrily that he had
been told there was a woman In the
room who had threatened to cut him
with a razor. Mrs. Anderson rightly
judging that she was the object of his
wrath, seized an axe for the purpose of
defending herself against any attack
from the infuriated man. Her husband
interfered at this juncture, whereupon
Mrs. A. dropped the axe. Anderson
meanwhile attempted to pacify Swingler,
but failing to accomplish this he put
him out of the house. During the
evening Joseph Lane, a fiddler, who
had sided with Swingler knocked at
Anderson's door and upon the latter
opening it Swingler stepped forward
into the room and pointing the muzzle
of a musket at Anderson, pulled the
trigger and Bitot him in the abdomen.
Swingler afterward struck the wounded
man and lie fell to the floor, dying in a
few minutes. Swingler also Btruck An
derson's wife, when his companion In
formed him he had better make his
escape as he had killed a man. Swingler
made his escape in the darkness. All
efforts to capture him has thus iur prov
ed fruitless.
The murder was perpetrated about
midnight. The charge of heavy shot
from the musket tore open the abdomen
of Anderson, allowing the bowels to
protrude.
Joseph Lane (colored), another of the
parties, was caught soon after the affair
occurred, and held for a hearing. The
murdered man is not yet 21 years old.
Neatly Done.
A Boston paper tells the following :
" Are you the saleswoman of whom, I
bought the handkerchief of yesterday V"
asked a purchaser at one of our dry
goods stores.
" I am the sales-laxly who served you,
madam," responded the reduced empress
in banged hair, long watch-chain and
ringed lingers, who presided at the
counter.
"Well," said the customer, " I will
take a dozen more, and as I wish to get
them to my washer-lady at once I will
get you to send them to my carriage
around the corner. My coach-gentleman
cannot get to the door Just now,
for the curt of the ash-gentleman."
Jumped from a Train into the River.
Easton, Pa., December 17. On Mon
day evening a brakeman on an east
bound coal train on the Eastern and
Am boy road told the switch-tender at
the cast end of the Delaware bridge that
a man had jumped from the train while
It was on the bridge. Search was made
for the man, but as the night was dark
it is supposed that he must have fallen
into the river below, a distance of sixty
feet, and had been drowned, as nothing
could be found of him. The opinion is
freely expressed that the brakeman was
endeavoring to put the stranger off, and
that he, becoming excited, jumped, not
knowing where he was.
Costly Barks.
The Iowa Supreme Court has decided
that a man is liable for the bark of his
dog. The case was one in which a
man's dog barked and frightened a
team, whereupon the team ran away
and broke the driver's leg.
The dog of Mr. William Lannon, a
miner living at Clinton, Ind., ran in
front of a locomotive. His master ran
to the rescue and saved the dog, but lost
his leg.

Benefactors.

that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure a wide range of disaasea that most
all other remedies could be dispensed

its merits by actual trial has dispelled
doubt, and to-day the discovers of that

The Public and Pul'man Hotel Cars.
Practice Better than Preaching.
the verdict all one way.
They Are Liked by Everybody.
Read the following, and you will then ho
better able to appreciate the fact that tho Chi
cago & North-WoBteru Railway Is the leading
Hue between Chicago and Council Bluffs; that
It can give you more value for you money than
any other Hue that it, In the use of theso
elegant hotel cars, has taken a long stride
ahead, aud that If you wish the very best ac
commodations, you must buy your ticket over
this road.
.The following Is from the pen of Mrs. Frank
Leslie, the wife of Frank Leslie, of "Leslie's
Illustratsd Newspapers," who has recently
published a readable book under the title of
" California a Pleasure trip from Gotham
to the Golden Gate." It is needless to say
that Mr. Leslie and his party went over tho
Chicago & North-Western Railway, in "Tho
President," one of Its Hue of hotel cars.
"Oh arriving at the Chicago & North
Western Railway station, we enter the famous
Pullman hotel car exhibited at the Centennial
Exposition. " Id the midst of the cheer
ful excitement we are off, and able to look
about us at our new home. First, we are im
pressed with the smooth and delightful mo
tion. We proceed to explore the Inter
nal resources of oar kingdom. We find
one end of the car partitioned off and fitted
up as a kitchen, store room, scullery re
minding one, in their compactness and varie
ty, of the little Parisian cuttruM, whore every
inch of space Is utilized, and where such a
modlcnm of wood and charcoal produces such
marvelous results. Onr tluf, of ebon and pro
portions suggesting a libera t sampling of the
good things he prepares, wears the regulation
snow white apron and cap, and gives lis cor
dial welcome and Information, showing us,
amongst other tilings, that his refrigerator and
larder are boxes adroitly arranged beneath the
ear. The tables are laid for two each, with
dainty linen and the finest of glass and china.
Our repast Is Dolmonlcaa In Its nature and
stylo, consisting of soup, tntttet, roast meats,
and vegetables, followed by the conventional
desert and the essential French coffee.
In these Hotel Cars tho meals are a la carte
you pay for what you get, and nothing more
and this at very reasonable rates.
The managers of the Company have deter
mined to omit nothing which will add to the
convenience, safety aud comfort of the trav
eling public who favor them with their patron
age and further, that they will not be eclips
ed by any other railroad In the world. Hence
these cars, constructed by the Pullman Palace
Car Company especially for the Pioneer Line,
are the finest ever built.
It is not exaggeration to say that no road In
the world can produce the equal to these rnag
nlflcent cars, and as the average traveler wants
the best of everything that can be bad, ho must
of necessity nso this line In his trans-continental
trip.
The charges for berths In these Hotel Cars
are the same (aud no higher) as are made In
the more common Bleeping Caf, so that the
traveler using one of these palatial hotels is
given much more worth for his money than he
can get on any other line.
Remember I Pullman Hotel Cars are now
ruuulng regularly between Chicago and Coun
cil Bluffs, on the Denver and California Ex
press trains of the Chicago A North-Western
Railway. West bound, they leave Chicago
dally, except Sunday, (and on every third
Bunday), from the Wells Street Depot, at 10.80
A. M., and arrive at Council Bluffs next morn
ing. East bound, they leave Council Bluffs at
5.!)0 T. M., dally, except Saturday, (and on
every third Saturday,) and reach Chicago the
next afternoon.
Bear In mlndl No other road runs Pull
man Hotel Cars, Pullman Dining Cars, or any
other form of Hotel, Dining, or Restaurant
Car through between CbicHgo and the Missouri
River. On no other road can you get all the
meals you require between Chicago and Oma
ha without leaving the car yon start In. This
is tho only line that has through eating cars of
any sort.
An assortment of Domestic Taper
patterns will be found for sale at tbe
