THE PEAK FAMILY.

This company Of vocalists, will give
entertainments in this place OH next We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings, as will be
seen by advertisement. Their reputation
where they have sung is excellent; and
We cannot do better than copy the follow
ing notice Of the Haoana Republican, and
invite all who are "moved by concord OF
sweet sounds" to be in attendance.
"Their musical execution is superior, and
their songs were sung with chasteness and
elegance we have seldom heard surpassed.
Should we particularize, we should be obi
ged to name them all none were unequal
TO their task. But we must say that the
songs OF little Fanny bright girl Of nine years
old, were elegantly performed. She is a
perfect little warbler, and sings with the ease
and diction of an adult.
We had often seen of late, complimentary
notices of this band Of vocalists, but supposed
they were more the offspring OF custom, as
such things too frequently are, than the award
of true merit. But now having heard fol
ourselves, we cheerfully corroborate what we
have frequently seen respecting them, anc
cordially commend them TO the lovers o
chaste, refined music throughout the coun
try.o

THE LATE FRESHET.

The ravages of the late freshet have
been so general and SO extensive, that it
would fill our paper to give full account.
The greatest damage in this neighborhood
has been sustained by our farmers along
Shamokin Creek, which, we understand
by MIR. ]. Houghawout, was about s or 10
inches higher than in 1916. Mr.. H. lost
about seven acres of corn besides consdera-
BILE fencing. Mr.. Joseph Hoover's loss
was considerable. In fact almost every
farmer along the creek, up to Shamokin,
has sustained more or less injury by the
freshet. On the North Branch up to the
State line the freshet has been very destruc-
tive in the loss of crops, lumber, &c. The
West Branch was not SO high and the dam
ages are but small.

FATAL AND FEARFUL ACCIDENT.

Early on Thursday morning about 8 o.
clock, A. NJ, when the stage passengers
from Harrisburg were passing over the
canal bridge on entering Northumberland,
the bridge gave way and the passengers,
wagon and horses were precipltated into
the canal. There were ten passengers
in the wagon, one of whom MIR. Jones,
machinist from near Harrisburg, we regret
to say was killed. He was on his way to
Danville. The other passengers were but
slightly injured, excepting two, one an
Englishman, and the other a gentleman
from Muncy, who are seriously injured
Two of the horses were killed, and third
very much injured. The canal at that
point is very wide, and the bridge was sus-
tanned with wooden pier, or support in
the centre. The driver says he heard the
crash, and hurried over the horses, and the
leaders having got over the broken span,
sustained for while the wagon, which
was fortunately an open one, used tempo
rarily during the break in the canal. Three
of the four sleepers having broken, leaving
only the upper one, the plank, wagon and
horses, all went down sideways, dragging
the leaders down with them. Mr.. Jones
unfortunately got under the plank and was
drowned, having probably been injured in
the fall. The water was not more than
four or five feet in depth, and the night
was not very dark, otherwise the loss Of
life might have been much greater.
The canal authorities and their agents
are much to blame in this matter, and the
Inquest, we are informed, does not spare
them in their report. This bridge has for
years been rckety concern, and never
was such a structure as such public
throughfare required. Who is to pay the
damages! Had it occurred on the works
of corporation, or an individual, there
could be no difficulty. But as the state is
sovereignty, it cannot be sued.

GEORGE w. KENDALL, who is now in New
York, leaves for Europe in the Atlantic on
Saturday, to superintend the completion of
his work on the Battles of Mexico, on which
he has been engaged for nearly two years
The Tribune says the original sketches were
taken by CARL NEBEL, German artist, who
was with with Mr.. Kendall in Mexico, and
made his sketches on the very spot, as the
events depicted were occurring before his
eyes. MIR. Nebel is celebrated as a painter
of animals and men, and in this respect has
probably few living equals. He enjoys an
extensive reputation in Europe, and is per-
sonal friend of the renowned HUMBOLDT
The le,ter-pre.s of Mr.. Kendall's work is
finished, and the plates will probably be com.
peted in time to have it brought out in the
fall. The work proceeds slowly, since 100
men employed in coloring and preparing the
plates, can only finish 100 copies in month.
The plates are ~ in number, and their SUBJ

our citizens already begin to refuse receive

exactly settled. Some of them will take
them, but not to pay out any change
Others say they will take them as long as

THE CHOLERA IN THE WEST,

The St. Louis papers state that the cholera
is raging with feutfu mortality at Liberty,
and other points on the Missouri river. The
small pox is also quite prevalent, and is car
rylng off IFS victims daily.
A colony of Belgians, recently located
near the town Of Kansas, on the Missouri
river, have nearly all died of cholera. The
surgeon in attendance died from the same
disease.
The st. Louis Republican has letter from
the Plains, which gives sad account of the
ravages OF cholera among the California emi-
grants. 1t is believed that at least two hun
dred and fifty deaths occurred during the
first two weeks Of June. One hundred and
fifty graves were counted by one person who
was travelling from Fort Kearney to the
westward.
A letter from Kaskaskia, ILL.,, dated 10,
says that four deaths by cholera had occurred
at that place during the four previous days
At st. Louis, on the nth, there were loC
deaths, of which 80 were by cholera.
A telegraphic despatch received from
Washington, announces the death of Briga
dier General (by brevet) Richard B. Mason
of the United States army, who had returned
from California. He breathed his last in St
Louis on the night Of the 25th--a victim tc
the cholera.
There is no cholera at Pittsburg. The pa
pers say the general health of the city is a'
good as usual at this season.
There was one death by cholera at Colum
bus, Ohio, on the 23d.
AT Cincinnati, from the lst 10 the 23d ult.
inclusive, the deaths by cholera were 65e.-
The number of deaths from all diseases, du
ring the same period, including cholera
was 1868.

LYNCH LAw-.HIGH HANDED MEASURE.

FREDERICKSBURG; Va, July rs.
A terrible outrage took place in Culpepper,
in this State, on Wednesday last. A mob of
200 men, including justices of the peace,
members of church, and others, proceeded to
the Jail, resisted the sheriff, and carried of
William Grayson, free negro. They drag.
ged him TO the woods, where they hung him
dead. The cause of this high.handed mea-
sure is this-Grayson had twice been con.
victed OF numbering David A. Miller, white
man, but each time he appealed, and the
General Court granted him new trials, on the
ground that the testimony hardly justified
suspicion, much less guilt. The mob allowed
Grayson one minute 10 confess. He firmly
avowed his innocence of the murder. The
mob then placed fence rail across between
two trees, and strung him up. This outrage
has created intense excitement. The papers
entreat the Governor TO arrest every one con.
cerned in it.

Private Correspondence Of the Ledger.
WASHINGTON, July 90, 1886

The Bradbury amendment was merely
lost by accident, Mr.. Douglass being mo-
mentarily absent. A similar amendment
will carry. Mr.. Winthrop will take d
statesmanlike view for the bill and vote for
it. The nation will owe him a debt of
gratitude. Mr.. Berrien is known to be in
favor Of the bill, having first endeavored to
protect It. President Fillmore is clearly,
unequiyocally and decidedly in favor Of the
bill. Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, Presi-
dent OF the late Nashville Convention, is
here, warmly approving of the bill, and
denouncing Rhett's reasonable disunion
speech. The prospects ofthe passage of the
bill are decidedly good. A statement
contained in some Of the Northern papers,
that Gen. Foote is shirking every direct
responsibility in regard to the bill, is entire
ly false. No Senator labors more assidu-
ousiy, openly, energeticaIly and successful
ly for the bill than he does; not one

there were some sacrificed, and he told US,

O CENSUS TAKERs.-We neglected to
mention last week that Charles C. Cook of
the Danville Democrat had been appointed
Assistant Marshal to take the census for
Montour and part OF Columbia county.
Mr.. Cook will make an excellent officer,
being German as well as an English
scholar. What has become of the Assist

don't intend, contrary TO all usuage to give
all TO one man, instead Of appointing one
