A despatch received Just as we go to
press says a collision has occurred on
the Baltimore & Potomac 11. II., In
which several persons were injured,
among whom is Ex-President Hayes.
On Sunday night a week an orphan
asylum at Hyde Park, near Scran ton
was burned and seventeen little ones
were suflbcate by the smoke. Three of
the deceased were girls and fourteen
boys. A defective flue was the supposed
cause of the disaster.
The Inauguration passed off in a man
ner entirely satisfactory. The storm
kept away many persons, and made it
very disagreeable for those who did
reach the city In time. The snow was
not very deep there and the streets were
in a passable condition. An extra ses
sion was called which convened, imme
diately after the inauguration.
President Garfield has appointed
the following as his Cabinet :
Sec. of State, Senator Blaine, of Maine.
i t Treftg'y gen, windom, of Mlun.
" " War, Kobert Lincoln, of 111.
11 11 Navy, Judge Hunt, of Louisiana.
" " Interior, Senator Kirkwood, of
Iowa.
Att'y Gen., Wayne MacVeagh, of Pa.
Post Master General, James, of N. Y.
The Senate confirmed the appoint
ments. A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature to punish by whipping, all
persons convicted of beating their wives
or other females. One exchange objects
to this kind of punishment bb it has a
tendency to lower a man's manhood and
self respect. As though a man who
would whip his wife had any bucIi feel
ings. We believe that such a law ought to
pass. There are other crimes that might
with much benefit to the community
be punished in the same way.
By Some Oversight Congress failed
to make any appropriation for the
Little Juniata Creek in this county, and
also over looked the "Widow's Run."
Nearly every other stream in the United
States has had some attention paid to it,
but Perry CQunty probably had no
friend in Congress. As a sample of the
items, one little stream in Georgia has
ten thousand dollars appropriated to
make a channel three feet wide that
shall carry twelve inches of water.
The Storm of Sunday a week, was
very severe in some portions of the
west. At Chicago and vicinity the ob
structions to the railroads were greater
than at any other time during the win
ter. A despatch from Miwaukee says:
The rain of Saturday changed to a
heavy wind and rain storm. The run
ning of railroad trains on all the lines cen
treing in Milwaukee has been suspended.
The present snow blockade is the heavi
est of the entire season. The water,
snow and freezing combined makes it
certain that there will be great difficulty
in clearing the railroads.
A Veto of the Funding bill was one
of the last official acts of Mr. Hayes.
His reason for objecting to the bill was
the fifth section which made it obligatory
on the part of the banks to use only
the new three per cent bonds as a basis of
currency Issued. This he claimed would
prevent the formation of new banks
and give the older banks a monopoly.
It was also considered as tending to
destroy the National bank system which
he considers the best the country ever
had. The veto is well received in busi
ness circles, as it was not thought a
three per cent bond hedged about with
such objectionable features as were in
the bill, would be a success.
Tub trial at Charlestown, of Col.
Cash, one of South Carolina's chivalrlo
sons, for the murder of Mr. Shannon,
ended in a failure of the jury to agree.
It was a cold-blooded duel, in which
Cash challenged Shannon because of
some language of the latter, to which
Cash took exception. It was in evi
dence that Cash's son urged his father
to make sure of killing Shannon, and
that Cash replied be would. Cash called
no witnesses, but went to the Jury with
the remarkable defence that the duelling
code was justifiable, that it had the
sanction and approval of the noble and
great, and that the clamor against it In
Jhese latter days was the outgrowth of a
false sentimentality. It is said eight of
the Jury were favorably Impressed with
this plea and were for acquittal. The
judge had charged very strongly In
favor of conviction.
Where the Money Goes.
" We hear," says the Lancaster InteU
Ugencer, " of a big six-footer who la loaf
ing around Harrisburg borne on the
pay-rolls of the House as a page at 13
per day, employing a little boy at 60
per delm to do his work and pocketing
the $1.60 dally profits of the fraud upon
the State. His case is not much worse,
however, than that of the pasters and
folders, who get $0 a day for 150 days
and never go near Harrisburg except to
sign the pay-roll and settle with the
fellow whom they employ to do their
work for $100 a session."
A Land Slide.
Between nine and ten o'clock Monday
morning a land slide occurred near Ellz
abethtown, on the Pennsylvania rail
road, at what Is known as the tunnel
cut. When the slide occurred the track
watchman was in its way, and was
partially buried beneath the dirt and
rocks, and is believed to have been
seriously injured. He resides at Eliza
bethtown, where he was at once remov
ed. The accident caused a delay of
several hours to the mall train, the
tracks only being cleared about one
o'clock in the afternoon. The Niagara
and Chicago Express was Bent West on
the river road.
A Horrible Story.
From a small village twelve miles
from Augusta, Maine, comes this story :
A young man named Charles Merrill
killed his mother in a barn near her
house by striking her on the head with
a hammer. Then he concealed the body
in a hay-mow uYitll it had frozen, after
wards cutting it in pieces, burning a
portion and concealing it as well as pos
sible in a manure heap. The remainder
he burled in the snow. The disappear
ance of the woman aroused suspicion,
the young man was arrested and coolly
confessed his crime, detailing the small
est partlulars. No motive assigned.
A Peculiar Aeoldent.
A singular accident occurred to a
young man in Poenlxvllle on Saturday.
He was assisting to unload a barrel of
cider from a wagon, by sliding it down
a board, when the board broke, throwing
both the man the barrel on to the pave
ment. In the fall the chime of the bar
rel struck the man's wrist, completely
cutting his hand from the arm. It was
done so quickly he did not know it,
until his attention was drawn to his
severed hand lying on the ground.
An Earnest Young Man.
A citizen of Hudson N. Y., said to the
young man who visited his daughter
that be couldn't afford to have so much
wood burned in the parlor stove even
ings ; that he must come less often
or quit earlier, or furnish hiB own wood.
The next day two cords of good hard
wood were purchased by the young man
and piled into the citizen's yard, with a
a big sign over the pile, reading : " For
use nights only."
AwHsVGfrl7
The effect of the general circulation of
the idotlo jingle called Mother Shlpton's
prophecy has been shown In one in
stance at least. A young German girl
in Ohio, who read it in a paper, became
so excited that she lost her reason, and
cries night and day. She Insists that
ahe bad a vision in which it was reveal
ed to her that the prophecy would be
fulfilled.
Ignorance Not Wanted.
Illinois has always been in the ad
vance in the adoption of measures to
improve her system of education, and is
about to test the benefit of a compulso
ry education. A bill to that effect was
adopted by the legislature recently,
which provides that every child between
the ages of eight and fourteen years shall
attend a publio school at least twelve
weeks in each school year, at least six
weeks of which shall be consecutive.
BJg-Recently Mr. Noblett, of Ruther
ford county, N. C, employed a negro
man to help him kill hogs. That night
the negro stole one hog, and had gotten
some distance on his way home, when,
coming to a fence, he laid the hog upon
the top rail, balancing it until he got
over. Afterward, in attempting to
shoulder the hog, It fell on the opposite
side of the fence, and the gammon stick,
which the negro had neglected to take
out, caught him around the neck and
fastened him. Yesterday morning he
was found dead, the hog on one side and
the negro on the other side of the fence.
CLfThe Monticello, Fla., Constitution
reports that a negro woman, during
services In one of the colored churches
of that place last week was convulsed
by religious (V) enthusiasm.and while la
said condition sle.ed a young woman
and dashing her against the organ,
knooked her senseless.
fiT A few days since Mr. Cornelius
Westervelt of of Chestnut Ridge, Ber
gen county N. J., went to his hen house
to gather the eggs. He put his hand in
one of the boxes, and brought out an
opossum, which was taking a com for ta-'
ble nap In the nest, but had not yet laid
any eggs.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. 0., March B, 1881.
Qen. Garfield arrived In the city yesterday
morning, and frill remain at a hotel until he
takes possession of the White House on Friday
morning. Gen. Garfield received a hearty
ovation at the dtpot. But the enthusiasm
came more from the citizens than from the
numerous Committees appointed to reeelve
him, that committee having through some
misunderstanding wholly their own, arrived
at the depot before oayllght and had to wait
till nine o'clock before the Presidential train
arrived. Mrs. Oarfleld, the General's mother,
who came with ber son went Immediately to
the Executive Mansion to superintend the
placing of Gen. Garfield's property therein.
Gen. Garfield when he stepped from the train
onto the crowded platform, looked as much
the nnostontatlous cltlnen as when he used to
be seen dally during the sessions of Congress
walking to and from the Capitol. He will be
a President of the people, for the people, and
by the people.
I don't believe the city ever, even In the
stirring times of '01, filled op with strangers
so rapidly as It has Bince Sunday. Though
many arrived last week and week before, this
week the Influx has been such that hotels and
boarding bouses are full and private families
are moved to extend hospitalities to the
strangers who would otherwise fare sadly.
Every train brings crowds more. The visiting
organisations have not begun to arrive, they
always wait till the last moment, and then, as
when General Grant was last Inaugurated,
arrive here In a buneh, overflow the depots
and streets adjacent and Hue the railroad
tracks for some miles outside the city. Of the
parade Itself the English language Is too poor
to express what those here are expecting It to
be. Big and Brilliant are about the best words
to think of In connection with it. In fact
there 1 so much of it that only the first two
divisions are to be at the Capitol, the other
two forming on the Avenue and falling behind
the others as they return from the Capitol, the
whole passing In review before the President.
Our District Militia Is In high feather. Each
small company has upon Its hands, to enter
tain and lionize, one or two regiments of the
visitors, and they are preparing to do It in
grand stylo. This District Militia of ours is,
by the way rather a motley gathering of men.
One company have white coats, another blue,
another red, and two others gray. We had
quite a respectable regiment here at one time,
but the strong companies eat tip the weaker
ones, and so the regiment was disbanded.
The decorations are beginning to repay In
beauty for the time and money bestowed upon
them by our nearly exhausted Inaugural Com
mittee. Many of the private residences along
the line of march, are being handsomely
festooned with national emblems, and the
"Avenue," that beautiful stretch of wide con
crete, designed especially for the advantageous
display of lmmeuse bodies of men, looks as
one flag, from the number of decorations upon
It. There are no colors, that when blended
give Buch a brilliantly beautiful effect as the
colors of the Union, and this effect Is seen to
spendid advantage in looking down Pennsyl
vania Avenue.

Prunes are extra nice this season. We
