Several iunkb in Montreal have suspended pay meat, and great excite ment exists in that city over the fiuan tlal difficulties that seem to be growing worse. Among the securities stolen from the Manhattan Dank at the tjme of the burglary were coupon bonds to the amount of $48,000. It is not alto. gether agreeable to hear that the num bers of these have been altered so skil fully that only an expert can detect the forgery ,and that thus altered they are be ing brought into the market. During the month of July, 1870, there was paid for arrears of pensions $8,094,600, which exhausts the special fund of $8,875,034, held for the redemp tion of fractional currency. The in crease of the debt for the month is $6,080,344, showing that there would have been a decrease of $2,608,255 if no arrears of pensions had been paid. Kentucky Election. Telegrams from various parts of the State Bhow a tremendous falling off in the Democratic vote cast at the election last Monday, as compared with previ ous contests. The Democratic Central Committee estimates the total vote at not over 200,000, a falling off of over 60,000 on the Tilden-Hayes vote, and of over 15,000 on the last Gubernatorial vote. The Republicans make slight gains in the Legislature, and defeat the Speaker of last House, but the Demo cratic majority is still overwhelming in the General Assembly. The call for a constitutional convention fails for want of a constitutional majority in its favor. The Greenbackers cut no figure in the contest. Destructive Storms In England. London, August 4. The severest storm known here for many years raged in various parts of England, and espec ially in the valley of the Thames, on Saturday night. The storm was attend ed by a fall of hailstones, some of which were five inches in circumference. The damage to glass in places immediately around London amounts to thousands of pounds sterling. In a great part of Bedfordshire, the hay crop has been completely swept ,away, and many cattle were drowned. isewmarket and the neighborhood are flooded. The rainfall in Buckingham shire is estimated at nearly seventy tons per acre. Damages by floods and lightning are also reported from Cam bridge, Norfolk, Guilford, Leicester, Bath and Monmonth. An Oil City Outrage. Oil City, August 8. Early on Sat urday morning the prostrate form of a respectable girl, aged 18, named Ada Ray, was found lying on Plumer street, in the outskirts of the city. She was removed to a house near by .where an in vestigation revealed the fact that she hod been outraged and left in a dying condi tion. The doctor said she would not survive, but late to-day she recovered from the effects of the drugs adminis tered to her sufficiently to give the. names of four young men who stopped her in the street and committed the out rage. Her body is In a terrible condi tion. One of the scoundrels named Hump Stewart has been arrested. A Brave Woman Saves Two Lives. Clayton, N. Y., August 1. Yester day afternoon a female cook at Alvord's Island.three-fourths of a mile from here, thought she heard the voices of men crying for help. She sprang into a skiff, and, rowing a milo in the direction of the sounds, found two men in the water, clinging to and overturned boat. The men were almost exhausted and could have held out but a short time longer. She gathered them in and rowed them back to the Governor's Island. An Attempt to Destroy a Town. The town of Marshall ton, four miles from Chester was thrown into quite an excitement this morning by the break ing out of five fires in different parts of the town, and within a few minutes of each other. Four barns, with their contents and the shedding at the Friends' meeting house were destroyed. The attempt was made to fire two other stables nnd the villnge wheel wright shop by the free Ufte of coal oil. There is no clue to the incendiary. Yellow Fever. Havana,, August 4. One hundred and thirty-seven deaths from yellow fe ver in Havana last week, being an In crease of 20 against, week before. The total number of deaths in Havana from yellow fever during July is 637, against 604 for the same month last year. Sinco the beginning of the year 857 deaths from yellow fever have occurred here, against 813 for the same time last year. The Lebanon Murderers. Lebanon, Ta., August 4. Charles Drews, Frank Stlchler, George Zehman, Henry Wise, Joslah Hummel and Israel Brandt, convicted in April last of murder in the first degree for killing Joseph Raber, were brought into court to-day on a writ of error. After bearing the argument Judge Henderson granted anew trial to Zehman, but denied the application of the others and they were remanded for sentence. A Rattlesnake Experiment. " Mr. Collins, of Centrevllle, Tenn., the other day permitted a rattlesnake to bite a dog, which died in two and a half hours. Then he allowed himself to be bitten, and immediately drank a decoc tion from mosses of hickory nut and white oak trees that he had discovered to be an antidote to snake bites. He suffered some nausea, but soon entirely recovered. Bitten by a Horse. Lancaster, August 5. Mr. Oliver W. Jacobs, of Paradise township, this county, was severely bitten on one arm this morning, by a vicious horse. The wound caused the arm to swell greatly and was very painful. Portsmouth, N. H., August C At the municipal election to-day Mayor Slse (Republican) was re-elected by an increased majority. The Greenback candidate for Mayor received only sixty five votes, against 105 last year. Reported by Chas. H Smiley, Esq. Annals of the Court. An attentive ob server of the current events transpiring within our county would be justified in expressing alarm at the fearful Increase of crime. Of late it would seem that the sluice-gates of iniquity had been hoisted, and a deluge of debauchery and dishones ty was rushing through, driving virtue and integrity out upon its tide. From murder down to petty thieving.the cases have crowded our criminal calendar, un til at last the limited time allowed to the trial of our civil list,has been encroached upon, and at the present time was en tirely consumed by the criminal court. The large number of cases which were returned to the District Attorney Bince the last sessions made it very evi dent that it would require a whole week to dispose of them, and in order to save 'disappointment and cost to parties inter ested, Judge Junkin made an order in the month of July that all civil cases should go over to the next term, and ac cordingly the Court of Quarter Sessions, and Oyer and Terminer and General Jail Delivery were the only courts in session during the whole week. In ac cordance, therefore,with the ancient and time-honored proclamation of the Sher iff of the county, the court convened on Monday, the 4th inst., at 1 o'clock P. M., with the President Judge and both Associates on the Bench, and all the of ficers from the lawyers to the janitor were in their places, ready for work. The UBual miscellaneous business was disposed of rather earlier than usual and a jury was called to try a case before ad journment on Monday -evening. The nrst case caueu was that or the Com monwealth vs. Amos Henderson. This defendant has become so well known in our own and adjoining counties that any extended notice of him is unnecessary. It will be remembered that he was the recognized leader of a Kane of marau ders whose headquarters were at the foot of the Blue Mountains, in Carroll township. Some time since the Consta ble of Carroll twp., with a posse comita twi, made a search of their premises for stolen goods. A very considerable quan tity was found and duly recognized by the owners. The result of this search was the arrest of Nelson Mendenhall and Martha Henderson, who were tried at the April sessions, convicted of re ceiving stolen goods, and they are now stopping in Philadelphia as guests of the Commonwealth, having for their host the Warden of the Eastern Penitentiary. During this time.Amos Henderson, who was a brother of one of the convicts and a bvother-ln-law of the other, was an luuoueni auroau. At lad it was rumor ed that he was in Cumberland county, and that an officer of the law named May had put this august personage in side the hospitable walls of the Carlisle Jail. Our vlirilant Dlntrlpt At a short time had him in Castle Gray. uuiuuer oi new Dins were prepared against him in addition to the indict m,e.nU ,that had been already found. When he was brought into court he look ed innocent as a mule and in the seeming consciousness of his integrity declined to make choice of counsel for his defense which privilege had been tendered him by the court. As no member nf epoke first for the enviable distinction his Honor Judge Junkin, deslgnuted A. M. Markle Esq. as his counsel. The first Indictment tried was con tained In two counts, the first charging him with stealing, and the second with receiving stolen goods, which were the property of John Smiley, viz: 19 hams and shoulders of pork, 1 clothes wringer, 3 bushels of corn meal and 1 biiHhel of onions. As the different counts were triable In different courts, he was put upon his trial in the quarter sessions for the first count contained in the bill. The jury were satisfied in the bill. The jury were satisfied they knew "who stole the ham" and returned a verdict of guilty on the 1st count, and not guilty on 2nd count. The next Indictment against him was for stealing a mattock, gum blanket, clothes-line and table cloth from P. M. Jones, Esq., as in the first case the property was found In his possesion, and the Jury had no difficulty in return ing a verdict of guilty on the first count. The third cane was an indictment charging him with having stolen from the residence of Miss Elizabeth Lackey, a lot of lard, flour, sausage, a pruning knife, a pair of stockings, a lot of can dles, etc. This was burglary and lie was tried in the court of Oyer and Ter miner and found guilty. A number of indictments were still pending but this thing was growing monotonous and as it was already with in the power of the court to sentence him to entitlement for a term so long that he could not give the present gen eration ony trouble, it was agreed that the other cases should be laid before a Jury and no evidence being offered, a verdict of got guilty should oe rendered, which was acordlngly done. Nolle Prosequls were entered by the common wealth in the case of John Henderson and this leaves but one member of the gang, Lewis Morrison yet at large. As hewill either be captured, or kept away by the local reward offered for his arrest, the citizens of Carroll township, and the adjoining township in Cumberland county may congratulate themselves on the a&Bureu security of their person and property through the long nights of the winter that is fast coming on. Com. vs. Edward Ross and Henry Weon was an indictment containing two counts, the first charging Defts. with rape, and the second assault with intent to commit rape. The Defts. were boys from the borough of Marysville or Its vicinity, and the offense was alleged to have been committed on the body of Annie L. Morthland, a little girl living in the same neighborhood. The boys claimed to have been indulging only in a little rude fun and that a wrong con struction was put upon their action, but the jury deemed their conduct suffi ciently bad to justify them in finding a verdict of guilty on the second count of the indictment. Com. vs. Ann Smelgh, Mary Smeigh and Carrie Smelgh. Indict, larceny 1st count, and 2nd count, receiving stolen goods. The facts in this case were as follows: Mrs. Smeigh in the early fiart of the month of April last, dislik ng the excluslveness of a life in the country, left her husband, and with her daughters Mary and Carrie, blooming and by no means unattractive young ladies took a residence in the upper end of the borough of Newport. Not long after this, the store of C. K. Brenneman was broken into, and a considerable quantity of Bait, candles, soap, sugar, prunes, etc., were taken therefrom. Suspicion rested upon this feminine trio, and a search warrant in the hands of Con stable Sailor turned up the very proper ty taken from Brenneman, together with a wash basin belonging to Daniel Thompson, a chair, cushion, lot of flan nel and-woolen goods belonging to Mrs. George W. Charters, and a brown coat, hatchet, etc, which had been taken from Mrs. Lobaugh. This property was all discovered In the house concealed in sundry ways and divers manners. The explanation given by Defts. was that at a late hour one night, a stranger called at the house with some bundles contain ing these goods, and upon their refusal to give him lodging he requested per mission to leave his bundles there. They were taken in, and owing to house clean ing which followed the nSxt day they were distributed around in the myster ious manner in which they were found. A mother with a babe at her breast and two daughters not yet out of their teens, is a difficult thing for a Perry County Jury to confront, but nevertheless they deemed the evidence sufficient to require a verdict of guilty in the charge of re ceiving stolen goods on the whole four bills of indictments which were laid be fore them, as to Ann Smeigh the mother and Mary Smeigh, and not guilty, as to Carrie Smelgh, with a recommendation to the meroy of the court. They were Immediately sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution a sentence which was received with applause by the audience, who evidently were in sympathy with the unfortunate females. Com. vs. Samuel Reed was the next case called. He was charged with steal ing a horse from Edward C. Gault of Fishing Creek Valley. If it-were possi ble to get up a patent for a horse thief no better model could be obtained for a deposit in the Patent Office than this Deft. The evidence that he stole the horse was Irresistible, but fortunately for Mr. Gault he got no further than Harrisburg, where he disposed of him. Rather than let the jury pass upon his case he plead guilty. Com. vs. James F. 0'Brien,John Ford and Mary Baker. The men in this case were criminals of some notoriety whose countenances would be conspicuous men in a rogues gallery. They were charged with stealing a wagon from Wesley Hays, and with breaking into Pennell's Church, and committing lar ceny of certain things belonging to the church. The woman appeared to be attached to the company like the tar bucket was to the coupling pole of the wagon ; where the boys went she went, and where they stopped she stopped. It did not appear however that she was implicated in the theft and consequent ly she dropped out of the case while the festive youths plead guilty to both iu dictments.. Com- vs. John W. Furl, Deft, was charged with stealing a loaf of bread from William Willi of thu value of Ave cents. It appears that Furl who was a tort of tramp came to the bouse of Mr. Willi and finding nobody at home entered the cellar and took nothing but the bread therefrom, and then went on his way, much after the manner that a distinguished Company when they were a hungered took some roasting ears from a corn field nearly nineteen hundred years ago. Perhaps lu those days criminal courts were not so easy of access as the only charge made against them was that of a violation of the sabbath while noth ing was said about having appeased their hunger In a stranger's corn field. However the world moves on and the civilization of the lUth century will not excuse thu crime of a man satisfying his hunger In the cellar of another under such circumstances. Defendant however had been in lall for some time where the county furnished him bread and a sympa thetic Jury were not long in returning a verdict of acquittal. Com. vs. Charles Dorman and Joseph Ham maker was a prosecution against these two young men for disturbing a religions meeting In tlie U. B. Church in Watts twp., near Buf falo Borough. They were accused of eating cloves, not a serious ollcnse in Itself since many an exemplary youth has done the same thing when his girl has been lu attendance at meeting with himself. There was however, other conduct which exhibited more levity and carnal mlndedncss on the part of the young men, and for their juvenile Indiscretion they were found not guilty but directed to pay the coots. The last cases tried were what are generally known as the, Liverpool Arson cases. The readers of this paper have already learned how some time since the barn of Mrs. Mary Charles in Liverpool twp., was destroyed by fire, and how some time afterward a dwelling house belonging to Mrs. Charles lu the occupancy of George Cary Mnrry was burned followed soon after by the burning of a portion of a distillery known as the "Rectifier" belonging to Abra ham Qood. It will be remembered also that the Charles properties were heavily Insured.tbat foul play was suspected and a reward of $250. was offered by the National Board of Under writers for the discovery of the Incendiaries, and that finally Simon S. Charles, George Cary Murry his brother-in-law and Blmon S. Bradley were arrested and upon a hearing on a habeas corpus, Bradley made a confession implicating Reuben Gribble and Cyras Wil liamson as his accomplices In a plot which was concocted by Cbarles and Murry to burn down the buildings for the purpose of recover ing the money for the Insurance upon them. There were a number of Indictments pending against the principals and accessories. The first case tried was that of arson, against Charles and Murry in the burning of the barn of Mrs. Charles. After hearing the evidence the Jury were instructed that the crime of arson had not been proven and they were di rected to find a verdict of not guilty. A new Jury was empaneled and an Indictment charg ing them with conspiracy to defrand the In surance Companies was tried and that most anomalous of all verdicts " Not Guilty" but the defendants to pay the costs, was rendered. These trials having developed the cases fully, all the other Indictments were laid before a Jury and the Commonwealth offering no evi dence, verdicts of not guilty were rendered. In the case of the Com. vs. Ernest Brymel, charge, Assault and Battery the prosecutrix not appearing, the prisoner was discharged. On Saturday evening before adjournment the Sheriff was directed to bring the prisoners into conrt and sentence was formally passed upon them as follows j Amos Henderson four years to the Eastern Penitentiary opon the verdict for burglary and sentence was suspended upon the other verdicts against him. Samuel Keed five years to the Eastern Pen itentiary. James F. O'Brien and Ford each one year to the Eastern Penitentiary. Edward Ross and Henry Weon, each GO days to the County Jail. The annonhcement of the sentences affected the prisoners like a clap of thunder operates upon a nest of eels. When each man knew bis fate they all marched off again in custody of the Sheriff who deserves great credit for the vigilant watch he has kept over as nasty a set of jail birds as were ever caged In this county.

SheatTer's Valley Items. ...l!"- E'"To!i:-Thlnklngafew Items from this little vale might not prove amiss, I will contribute ! ,he interrogation that has now presented Itself to the people of Sheaffer's Valley fs, "Who stole my pies?" Last Saturday night some tin known scamps entered a cave iu which Mrs. Reader had stored some pies. &c for the suste nance of her husband while she went away on a y sit, and took all the pies. On Sunday morning Mr. Reader, thinking that a pie would be very palatable, went to the cave with the pleasing prospect of obtaining some pies, but, to her as tonishment, they were all stole yes, every one of them. Mr. Reader says they were too lazy to wash their dishes, but left that for himtodo: but I suppose they were like all tramps soouer eat than work. We hope that l( Mr. Reader, ou account of these plunderers, runs short of food, some of his friends lu the valley will help him through. Sheaffer's Valley like all other places Is be ing troubled with chicken thieves. About two weeks ago some chicken men entered the hen coop of Mr. Wm. Llglttner, Sr., and took several of bis fattest fowls. These chaps had better be careful, as Mr. Llghtner sometimes hearkeneth unto the cries of the fowls, getteth out of his bed, goeth down stairs, and getteth his Ashing-ing-rod and tiseth it on the backs of those who love his chickens. Mr. Esterllne, an aged citizen, and one in whom we would suppose there Is no guile, says' that his chickens will not crow any more until the sun has rose, because they fear the approach of these chicken men. He says he has two that crows very natural sometimes; one crows ''Chooky R. Is coming," and the other asks the Interrogation "Is R. and B. along t" Now we think since Mr. E.'s feathered tribe has become so familiarly acquainted, these chaps bad better not frequent his place, as his fowls might speak in words.
