DisrAnit received Just as we go to
ess on Saturday 1. M., say a President
Garfield was shot at Baltimore depot
Ibis morning. We can get no partic
ulars. Ox Wednesday night last, terrible
storms visited nearly all parts of the
United States. In many places hail fell
In great abundance accompanied by
high winds. Here the rain and wind
was not great but the lightning was
iinnsiial brilliant.
A soinEit of persons In Union county
N. J., have become ill from the use of
water from their wells.and exhibit symp
toms of poisoning. A party of tramps
passed through the neighborhood a short
time age who are believed to have
thrown Paris green Into the wells of
those who refused them food.
Senator Sessions has been Indicted
for bribery. He Is charged with trying
to buy the vote of Mr. Bradley for
$2,000. He pleads not guilty and de
mands Immediate trial. It Is to be
hoped that the trial will make clear the
matter and fix the guilt where it belongs.
If guilty he should be punished and if it
is a conspiracy there is no punishment
too severe for the instigators.
A new departure in the licence busi
ness has been taken by a New Jersey
judge. Judge William H. Morrow, of
Warren county, has announced from
the bench that the court would with
hold license from the hotel or saloon
that sold liquor to persons residing in
the town where located. The Judge
limits the right to drink to "travellers
and persons congregated together to
transact business."
This Etorm which passed over Wash
ington on Monday night did grea t
damage in that city and vicinity. Many
roofs were blown on", chimneys were
blown down and trees were uprooted.
The sewers burst in some places, the gas
went out in a portion of the city, and
much alarm was occasioned. A portion
of the roof of the opera house was taken
off while the performance was proceed
ing, creating intense coufusion and
terror in the audience. A panic, how
ever, was averted, although many ladies
were drenched and some were injured
by broken glass. The house formerly
occupied by General Grant was unroofed,
as was the one now owned by him. The
house of General Williamson, ex-commissioner
of the land office, was unroof
ed and flooded, and his family were
obliged to seek refuge elsewhere.
Painful and Dangerous Accident.
Mrs. Harry Ungafelt, of Hollidays-
burg, daughter of Ex-Sheriff James Stif
fier, while visiting at her father's house,
near Eldorado, was stung in the wrist,
by a "snake feeder" or dragon fly on
Tuesday last. The sting caused her arm
to swell up immediately, and soon the
swelling spread all over her body. Her
friends, becoming alarmed, Dr. G. W.
Smith, of Hollidaysburg, was sent for
and on his arrival proper antidotes were
administered, resulting in the reduction
of the swelling, and alleviating the lady's
suffering. At this writing Mrs. LInga
felt is recovering from the effects of the
sting.
This is said to be the first case of the
kind to have ever come under the notice
of the medical profession, and is regarded
as a remarkable , case. It is thought
from the rapidity with which the swell
ing spread, that the sting of the insect,
which is poisonous, must have penetra
ted through a vein, thus injecting the
poison directly into the blood, which by
that means was distributed throughout
the entire system. Altoona Tribune.
Fresh Water Sea Lions.
The Cincinnati Star says: The sea
lions, including the baby born last week
are dolug well. Mr. Thompson said the
mother would die, as mothers on two
other occasions did, but now that a
week has gone by and she is getting
stronger all the time, Mr. Thompson
thinks all danger of losing either one Is
past. The sex of the baby is not known,
as the mother will allow no one to
approach it. These sea lions are the
nly ones that have ever been reared in
fresh wafer. In Europe the custom is
to rear them in salt water.
Lightning Striking Upward.
A Montgomery, Ala., special says:
About four o'clock Sunday afternoon,
the 0tb ult., a hickory tree, about 30
feet high, and standing near the resi
dence of Mrs. Bugbee, was struck by
llgttnlcg. This was the cause of the
loud clnp of thunJer that startled many
persons, as the sun was shining and no
rain was fulling at the time. If the
report of those who witnessed the occur
rence be correct, the electrlo chnrge was
passing from the earth to the clouds.
A Steamboat Torn to Pieces.
Cincinnati Ohio, June 28. Steamer
Phaeton while racing steamer Handy
this afternoon at 1 o'clock exploded her
boiler, and the boat was lorn to pieces.
The chimneys of the Handy were blown
olf. The accident happened four miles
up the river from here. Both boats
were filled with passengers. The steam
er Wlldwood has gone to the rescue.
No news has yet been received as to the
extent of the loss of life.
A Hog Saves a Child's Life.
The Herald gives the following : Ou
Wednesday last as the Mont Alto train
under charge of conductor Samuel Horn
was coming down the heavy grade at
Pond Bank, the engineer noticed a little
child trying to drive a wayward hog
from the track. The whistle was sound
ed and the brakes pulled with all the
energy of men trying to save an inno
cent life. Just as the engine was on the
point of striking the child, the hog
dashed off the line carrying the child
with It and the traiu rolled by. All
hands drew a long breath of congratula
tion and passed a vote of thanks to the
porker for its timely action.
Child, Pony and Rattlesnake.
A few day ago a little son of Mr. F. B.
Taylor was playing in the yard in the
rear of his father's residence at Monti
cello, (Fla.) and suddenly exclaimed :
"Oh, papa, look at the pretty suake 1"
Mr. Taylor rushed to the door, but a
pony near by was more prompt, for
observlug the reptile within a few feet of
the child it made a leap and came down
upon the snake, striking it with one of
its hoofs just back of the head and kill
ing it instantly. It was a large rattle
snake aud it Is possible the pony saved
the child's life.
C-y About ten days ngo Joseph Gile,
principal of a school in the insurance
building, in New Haven, after kindling
a fire in a stove in his room at the Madi
son House, missed from its setting in a
ring a diamond valued at $100. So posi
tive was he that the precious stone had
been lost In the stove that he in
stituted a faithful search, employing
a colored bay to carefully look over
the ashes and coals after the fire was ex
tinguished. The sweepings of the room
were also saved and searched. The
young man spent four days in the room
searching for the diamond. While sift
ing the ashes from the stove through a
flour sifter, Thursday evening, about
half-past 6 o'clock, his eyes were glad
dened by the gleam of the gem in the
declining sunlight.
tSTClara Belle writes: Barefooted
belles' are seriously promised for next
summer at the seaside resort. The
Princess Beatrice slipper, of beaded
satin, dainty and delicate, and shaped
like a sandal is intended to be worn
without stockings. But the idea will
fail in practice, and I'll tell you why.
Not one woman in ten has feet that will
bear baring. They may be small and
shapely, andjook tine in stockings, but
without a covering they would reveal a
corn here, a bunion there, toes over
lapping each other, scars of ingrowing
nails, and other blemishes. No, the
promise of barefooted belles will not be
fulfilled.

country was designed by Hon. E. A. Mitch
ell, postmaster of New Havou, Conn., in
1S47. He issued it for the convenience of
the citizens. It was about the size of the

ou which are meadows and houses is grad
ually slipping down toward the lake.
Thirteen hundred sheep with their shep
herds have been overwhelmed by an ava
lanche near Brigels, Iu the canton of Gris
ous." Pittsucko, June 20. The grand Jury of
Allegheny county found true bills to-day
against three buudred saloon keepers for
selling liquor without license. The pros
ecutions grew out of a difficulty between
the liquor men and the state, on a question
of licenses. Most, if not all of the dealers,
offered to pay a licente of fifty dollars,
which has hitherto been takon, but whluh
was refused this time on account of a law
paused in 1872 making the lleonso of Alle
gheny county three hiiudrod dollars.
fa days ngo C. W, Sunder, of
Crlsfleld, who was engaged to many Miss
Annie Cullen, took her out for a drive
At the start she whlnpcrod that he mustn't
take her "to the minister's," but that Is
just what tho young mau did unci they

bouse immediately and 8 nider understood
that ho wns to go homo, return on the fol
lowing day and start for Baltimore on a
wedding trip. The next day Mrs. Souder
refused to see her husband, saying that sho
didn't love him and that he had forced her
to marry him.

pleted Just as the irate father put In an ap
pearance. tU The body of a mini found In the

Stray, who was expolled from the ministry
by the Presbytery of Glen's Falls, N. Y.,

t3F"F. A. Gushing, who was Bent to New
Mexico two years ago by the Smithsonian
Iustituto for the purpose of gathering
further information about the Aztecs,
made the discovery that their religious cer
emonies were entirely secrot, except
among themselves. Ho therefore joined
tho tribe, and is now a Ziint chief and is
second In authority. Ho dresses in the
full nativo costume, and participates in nil
their religious rites. He says the worship
and traditions of the Montezuma, so long
accepted in Aztoo history, have no founda
tion iu fact, but the roal beliefs and super
stitions are quite as wonderful. Spiritual
ism is a cardinal belief, aud their seances
surpass in mystery those of civilized life.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C. June 29,1881.
William A. Cooko, employed by the Govern
ment In preparing cases against alleged star
route offenders has been in practice bore for
about seventeen years, having catafc here from
Pennsylvania during the war. He has hold
several olllces In the Hue of his profession, and
as a lawyer Is perhaps the most successful
member of the Dlntrict bar in the class of cases
he pays greatest attention to. For some
reason or oiher,'good or bad, many members
of the bar and other citizens have come to
consider him tricky a fact which I mention
because a report was spread around lust night
that be had been surprised In secret conference
with friends of Brady, Dorsey, and others of
the suspected parties. My own acquaintance
with Mr. Cooko, which la both long aud intl
mato, makes me certain that he will act wholly
and conscientiously In the Interest of the
government, but at the same time he will not
advise a prosecution In any case unless reason
ably sure that It will result in conviction.
There were bets here this morning a -WasU-lngtonlan
will bet on any subject under the
sun that neither Brady nor Dorsey would
be indicted. The latter, by the way, is repre
sented as being in straightened circumstances,
financially. Brady is a millionaire. .
It is now said that a mixed delegation of
Republicans will como up from Virginia to
give their views of State affairs to the Presi
dent. What benefit will accrue from this plan
It is bard to see. There la a certainty that the
President will take no part at all In the State
election. lie states freely his opinion that it
would be Improper for him to do so. That be
is deeply interested In the progress of political
affairs iu that and other Southern States Is
true, however.
The fact that Secretary Blaine and other
members of the Cabinet will be absent for a
considerable time after the first of July
strengthens the belief, mentioned in previous
letter, that til the Department changes to bi
made before tho re-assembling of Congress
have been ngrced upon and will be made
known at tin early day. Among the appoint
ments of general Interest will be those of two
Commissioners for this District, both of whom
It Is said, will be very strong Itepubllcans.
Uno of the two whose resignations will be
asked has no particular party feollng, but may
be classed as a " Conservative." The other Is
a Hepubllcan. The third Commissioner is an
army oflleer, at required by law. The Presi
dent Is credited with eejlng that, although
army ofllcers may have no politics, yet a Board
of Commissioners made up of one army officer,
one conservative man, and one Republican, Is
always Democratic.
