The next annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania Millers' State Association will
be held in Pittsburgh during the time of
the State Fair In September. The State
Agricultural Society will allot a space of
50 feet by 170 feet with line shafting and
motive power free for the display of
machinery and mill supplies. This is
the first time In this State that an
opportunity has been afforded to millers
to wltuess such a display of milling
machinery iu motion, and It is expected
that there will be a large number of
millers present from this and other
States.
Gen. Grant used to be called the
" silent man," but of late he has got to
talking so much that he will no longer
be entitled to that name. He had a long
talk a few days ago ou the Coukling
subject with a Chicago reporter in which
he makes some strange statements, par
ticularly this one : " There is, or should
be, a great denl In Senatorial courtesy,
which means simply this : That when
the President makes an appointment In
any State, and it fails to elicit the ap
proval of the two Senators from that
State, the matter ends there, ami the
nomination Is rejected. If the Repub
lican Senators from any State object to
any nomination, the rest of the party Is
expected to support them in the matter
without exception." If this is good
doctrine the constitution of the United
States should be revised to accord with
the above version, as this doctrine
would virtually take away all responsi
bility from the President, and it Is cer
tainly a strange view for a man to take
who has filled that office.

Wonderful Immigration.
If there is no interruption to the stream
of ' immigration, more than 000,000 for
eigners will have landed on our soil dur
ing the year 1361. On more thau one
day, this spring, nearly 7,000 persons
landed at the port of New York. The
majority are men, and the nationality
most largely represented is Germany.
They are generally In the prime of life,
and of a better class than the average run
of immigrants fifteen or twenty years
ago. The great mass of these people go
West, and settle upon farms. They
give business to our railroads, use food
products where it is most abundant and
cheapest, and create a demand for manu
factured goods of all kinds. Some 425,
000 came to this couutry last year. It
was the largest immigration in history,
but the immigration this year promises
to be one third greater. What a compll
ment it is to our land, and its Institutions,
that so many people, from all parts of
the world, desire to share its blessings.
Houses with People in Them Carried Over
Trees in Minnesota.
St. Paul, Minn., June 14. A special
dispatcli to the Pioneer Press, from
Wells, Minnesota, gives the following
details of the damage by the storms :
The barn of G. P. Probert was lifted
from its foundation and carried fifty feet,
then dashed to pieces. The house and
all out buildings were unroofed, and all
the things scattered beyond recovery.
Two harvesters were lifted Into the air,
and then dashed to the ground and
ruined. Mr. Probert's little girl, who
was in the barn, was unhurt, as also
were bis horses. The dwellings of
George Hening and a man named Grady
of this town, were destroyed. The
storm then passed Into Blue county.
In the town of Danville the house of
one 11. Jones, wag rolled over several
times, and he and his wife being in it,
the woman was severely cut in the neck
and face. The large barn on the farm of
Mr. Cortes was entirely destroyed. The
shanty of Mr. Axtell was picked up
like a feather and torn to pieces. The
house of Mr. S. E. Amble was complete
ly wrecked. The house of John Vance
was lifted bodily and was carried over
tops of high trees and then laid upside
downwards. Mrs. Vance, her brother
and another lady were iu the house and
escaped almost without a hurt. The
storm seemed to have spent its fury by
that time, as no further serious damage
Is reported. The damage to the crops is
not great as there was but little hall. '
Important Notice.
WAIl DEPARTMENT,
Adjutant (,'eneraVs Office,
Washington, Man 10, 1881.
There being now pending in this de
partment great numbers of volunteer
pension claims which cannot be satis
factorily verified for want of Informa
tion which missing records of discon
tinued volunteer commands would
afford, and it having transpired in many
instances that officers in the late volun
teer forces have still iu their possession
or under their control books and other
records pertaining to their corps, divi
sions, brigades, regiments, and com
panies, their attention is called to the
fact that all such books and records
should be deposited with this office, and
they are earnestly requested to cause the
same to be forwarded without delay to
the Adjutant General of the Army, at
Washington, District of Columbia.
No expense, other than postage or
proper express charges (when packages
exceed four pounds, the limit for mail
parcels), can be paid by the Govern
ment. In the interest of the great number of
widows, orphans, and disabled soldiers
whose claims are Involved, the news
papers of the couutry are requested to
give the substance of this circular the
greatest publicity.
By order of the Secretary of War :

Adjutant General.
A Suspicious Insurance Case.
The Philadelphia North American of
Thursday last says: George K. Fisher,
fourteen years of age, who lived with
Mrs. Munson at 714 Vanhook street,
Camden, died suddenly on Tuesday
afternoon. Last week Mrs. Munson
insured his life with the Prudential
Insurance Company, through the agent
on Kalgbu's avenue above Third, for
$77. The rule is to make two payments,
when the party is entitled to the policy,
and if death happens within a year, one
half the amount in this case $38.50 or
if death happens after one year, to the
full amount. In this case the weekly
dues were five cents,, and on Monday
the second payment was made and the
policy Issued. Within twenty-four hours
the boy died, and on Tuesday evening
the. money was demanded. Suspecting
something wrong, the agent notified
Coroner Jefferis, and he, with County
Physician Godfrey, is Investigating the
matter.
Lawful yet Unlawful.
An amusing case of conflict of laws
exists at Greenwood Lake. The lake is
partly in New Jersey and partly in New
York. Under the New York law fish
ermen may take black bass after June 1.
Yet, If the fisherman's boat happens to
drift across the line into the New Jer
sey part of the lake, he is in danger of
the game constable, as the New Jersey
law forbids the catching of black bass
before July 1. There is a similar con
flict at the De'a ware River. Bass can
be taken on the Pennsylvania side on
June 1, but on the New Jersey side not
until July.
Painful Accident to a Lady.
Mrs. Robert Napier, residing at '2312
Sayford alley, met with a pulnful acci
dent on Two-aud-a-half street yesterday
morning as she was on her way to the
Broad street market. As she was turn
ing the corner at Broad street she was
struck by a large Newfoundland dog
and violently thrown to the ground.
The concussion breaking her right leg
in two places between the knee and
ankle. Dr. Orth was at once sent for
and rendered the necessary service in
the case. The lady is doing us well as
can be expected Patriot.
A horrible plot to kill workmen
was discovered in the Chicago Stove
Works on Friday night. Just as two
moulders, named Fleure and Sessions,
were about to pour moulden. iron into
one of the moulds, one of them saw that
it had been tampered with, and an ex
amination showed that two pounds of
gunpowder were hidden in the mould.
Had it not been discovered the fiery met
al would have been blown over all the
men in the foundry. The crime is at-
trlbuted to striking moulders who have
been hanging about the foundry for
months.
A Terrible Leap from a Tower.
Chicago, June . About five o'clock
last evening a young man, named Hugo
Van Malapert, who appears to belong to
a noble family In Germany, Jumped
from the top of the water works tower
and was instantly killed. Nobody saw
the sucldal Jump, but a number of people
on the street near the water works saw
the body of a man descending through
the air, and hurrying to the spot where
it fell, found a corpse, which had driven
its head a foot deep In the grass plot
which surrounds the tower. The fall
was from a height of 100 feet.

Ailing his face with shot, and also wound
ing two of his own boys. Mr. Drake

ZW A contemplated jail delivery iu Jer
sey City was frustrated a few days ago by
the fortunate discovery of a written com
munication from one of the prisoners,
which was picked up iu the vicinity. A
man serving a sentence for selling lottery
tickets was at once suspected by the jani
tor, and when his wife called on a visit a
short time after the discovery was made,
she was searched and the desired articles,
consisting of files, putty, black paint, etc.,
were found in her pobsesslou.
C3fThe Decatur (Iowa) Republican says :
A very remarkable accident happened here
a few days ngo. The little two-year old
sou of Scott Smith, seeing his mother use
a small basket with which he had been play
ing to lower something which she wanted
to keep cool into the well, watched his op
portuulty attempted to look for the basket
and in doing so fell iutothe well, which is
thirty-two feet deep, with two and a half
feet of water. The little fellow must have
full in bead first, as his hair was found to
be full of sand. The first Intimation Mrs.
Smith had of the child's fearful fall was on
hearing him call from the bottom of the
well : ''Ma, take 'e baby t Ma take 'e
baby ?" There was a wild hurrying to and
fro and the baby was finally rescued, near
ly drowned.

There was a porcupine hunt on the moun

and dogs eugaged in it, and one of the dogs
came out of the battle with his jaws filled
with porcupiutt quills, some of them six in

aud it weighed fifty pounds. The dng
was iu a pitiful conditiou. The porcupine
quills had been thrust iutb almost every

bed into the roof of the dog's mouth, tho
butt ends being just visible. Many of the
quills were pulled out with the fingers, one
of tho hunter's holding the animal's bead
between his legs while another performed
the operation. To pull the quills out of
the roof of the mouth, the owner of the
dog took the animal to the chair factory,
and, plnoiug Its head in a wooden vise,
screwed up Just hard enough to hold It,
plucked the quills out one by one with a
pslr of nippers, the dog howling with pain
during the operation.

at Lsxlngton, Ky., a few days ago. Tbey
had been sentenced to a year's servitude
npieoe for vagrancy, and their labor for
that term was what was offered for sale
A cattle auctioneer was the salesman, aud
the men were critically examined, with
many pokes and pinches, just as slaves
used to be. The first to be put up was a
fat old fellow, and the bidding advanced
very slowly to :.0. " Bless my soul,"
criod the auctioneer. "I recollect the time
when he'd bring tWO-a hale, hearty old
nigger like him. Twenty, twenty, twenty;
any advance on twenty ? Uo up and exam
ine him, gentlemen. lie's able to do a
good day's work yet, breaking rock or
breaking hemp, or even working on a rail
road. Look bow sleek and fat he is.
Look at his arms and legs." He was
knocked down to Col. Craig, a railroad
contractor, for f 34. The other negro was
younger aud stronger. Craig wanted him,
but he was bought for $112 by a man who
meant to put him to work street sprinkling.
This sale was the first held, under a new
Kentucky tramp law.
St. Louis, Mo., June 14. Additional
accounts of the cyclone in the northwest
ern portion of Missouri aie to the effect
that a very large amount of property was
destroyed. A considerable numberof lives
were lost and a great many persons were
injured. Among those known to have
been killed outright are P. C. Nelson, C.
E. Maynard, Miss Maynard, Mrs. O. Rob
erts aud child and a man whose name is un
known. The injured, so far as reported,
are Miss A Gee, who will die ; Miss Man
gunrd, severely ; William Miller, danger
ously ; Robert Miller, seriously bruised ;
Israel Wood, wife and children, all more
or less seriously injured. Frank Burke
and party, fourteen persons, were all injur

weighing over a pound each, and covering
the ground to the depth of six inches.
