+. Great Fire at the Penitentiary!
Immense Destruction of property

IFroni the Stafesman of Friday, Oct. cal
About seven O'Clock last night, a fire
commenced in the north range of the
Ohio Penitentiary, and had made such
progress Iefore it was discovered, that
it was impossible to arrest it until the
entire range was in ruins. It was with
great difficulty checked, before the west
and east wings of the manufacturing de-
partment we're involved in the confa-
grafton. Still the destruction of prop
erty was very great.
Tho Ohio Tool Company's shop,
Hayden's blacksmith shop, Brown &
Cos cooper shop, the State shoe and
tailor shops, and Days wood type man.
ufRctory were entirely destroyed.
1t is presumed the losses were partial
ly protected by insurance, but to what
extent we could not ascertain at the
sceue of destruction. The devastation
along the north range is complete-no-
thing whatever could be saved--and
some of the walls fell during the burn.
ing.
1t is hardly possible this COZ fsgration
could have been SO complete without
having been the work of some scoundrel.
When our reporter arrived on the ground
the fire was raging with equal 6erceness
the whole length Of the row of buildings.
The gross loss to contractors cannot
be less than fifty thousand dollars
What that of the State will be, we have
not heard estimated.

%tailors and seamstresses are thrown by

Potiphars of our fashionable localities
are in truth reduced to sad extremities.
In the Fifth avenue, in Madison and
Union squares, and in every other spot
where fashion loves 10 congregate, we
hear nothing but rctrenchment. When
mansions are not to be sold, horses and
carriages have to 60 by the board, ser
wants to be reduced, and household and
personal expenditures to be squared gen.

some hope to retrieve by overhauling
their extravaganza, whilst all make res

in time! The punishment they have
received is of their own doing. Let us
hope that it will bear wholesome fruit.

q Husband Murdered by his
Wife.

Tho Orleans AdUertiscr of Friday
gives the particulars of the horrid muir
der perpetrated at Eldred township, NJ
Kesn Co., Pa, on Sunday morning.
1lth inst.
Betsey M'Lane killed her husband,
Daniel M'Lane, by striking him repeat
eddy upon the head and neck with IN axe,
nearly servering his head from his body.
M'Lane was evidently lying upon the
bed when the deed was committed, as
the wounds upon the body indicated, and
the bed was so fully saturated with
blood that it had dripped through upon
the floor beneath.
M'Lane and his wife, we are Informed
we're both upward of fifty years of age.
She was a widow with some property
when he married her, and both INDUCING
pretty freely in whiskey, they had never
lived very tremendously together. On
Saturday last M'Lano was in this vii
lage, and bought five gallons of whiskey,
which he took home with him. That
night himself and wife were both drunk,
and Sunday morning the neighbors heard
them quarreling and fighting in their
house. Between ten and eleven o'clock
all was still there, and several men be
longing to the neighborhoed went into
the house. M'Lane was nowhere IL
sight, but a large quantity of blood was
upon the bed and floor, and one Of the
men remarked to Mrs. MLanc, "It looks
as though you had been butchering in
here-where's M'Lane Pr "He has gone
over to Smiths settlement" she replied.
At this momcu the man discovered a
hand ~protruding f:on under the bed,
stopped down aud sliced it, and drew
out the CHASTITY corpse of the murdered
man. The woman Immediately exclaim-
ed +" I don'tknow who killed DAHL don't
know Who killed him - The corpse
was frightful to behold, the skull broken
by a blow on tae right temple, the head
nearly severed from the body by a deep
u on the left side of the neck, and a
part of the right hand chopped off. Ap
eye witness says :'"The bed looked as
though more than forty galloLs of blood
had been poured on it." When the
party entered the house the woman was
~endeavoriDg to wash the blood out OF
some of the bed clothes.
This couple had no children-and ac-
cording to the best of our knowledge,
no other person had been in the house
the morning previous to the murder,
and there can be no doubt but that M
Lane was murdered by his wife. She
is now confined in Jail at Smithport.

at the wrist, which cannot be found -
The demon was arrested, confessed the

Our Martyred Missionaries in In
dia

The last ray of hope has been dis
PEELED by the late arrival of news from
India, and we must now record, with
feelings of the profoundest sorrow, that
there is every reason to believe the four
missionary families Of the Presbyterian
Board at Futtehgurh have persisted in
the massacre. They have been traced
to the vicinity Of Cawnpore, and it was
hoped that when Gen. Havelock arrived
there be would find them alive and res
cue them from the insurgents, but he
reports but ore white person as saved,
and her name is given, SO that the pain
full fact is impressed on our hearts that
our brethren and sisters, our dear friends
Freeman, and Campbell, and johnson,
and McMullen, and their wives, and two
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell,
have fallen victims to the awful insur-
r%ection in India.
Rev. John e. Freeman went cut in
1898, and has been a faithful missionary
for about 10 years. lie married Miss
Beach, in Fewark, NJ J., who died about
ten years ago. Mr.. L. afterwards mar
ried a valued friend of ours, Miss Vrc-
denburg, a lady of great accomplishment
and worth, with a large circle of friends
in this city and N. j.
Rev. David A. Campbell was from
Wisconsin, and his. wife from Ohio.
Rev. Albert o. johnson and wife are
both from Western Pennsylvania.
Rev. Robert T. McMullen was from
Philadelphia, and his wife was Miss
Pierson, from Patterson, N. j.. All of
them were among the most able and
useful missionaries Of the Board, and
their loss is a blow to the work, com
pared with which the destruction of

and presses, and churches can be rebuilt,

WOODS REsToRATIvE.-Ofall the re.
storatives for the hair that have been in
vented, Woods prominently claims the
first place. It will certainly restore the
natural color of the hair, if the directions
are followed a sufficient length of time.
1t also has produced astonishing effects
in bringing out a growth of hair, where
the head had been previously bald
Wood does not pretend that it will do
this in all cases and we think his can
dor is a good recommendation of the Eir-
tues which Lis restorative really possess
es: If the roots of the hair are de-
stroyed, DO human power can make them
grow again; but when there is any vi
talit left in the root, the restorative will
soon renew the hair in all it's pristine
vigor. 1t has done this repeatedly when
all other remedies had failed. 1t is
therefore worth while in all cases to
make the experiment. For cleaning the
head of dandruff, and t~hickening and
strengthening the hair it has no rival

THE --LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM
BLEEDING KANsAs.-The Westfeld Ar.
gus has the following which is not only
a good joke, but a fact: The best pc,
litical joke We have heard this season was
done on the occasion of King David
Wilmot's speech at Erie. An Irishman
who had listened attentiyely to him, fin.
ally turned to friend and inquired
And that's David Wilmot, Ell p Yes,
was the response. And what is il
running for? Governor 'Governoe
of Kansas is it p No, Governor or
Pennsyl vania.' Faith, he said moth
ing of Pennsylvania. 1 thought it was
Kansas, sure"
This is a fair illustration of the way our
very " Republican" friends run every
thing into the ground for the sake of
improving the chances of success with
their undying hobby.

The STATE TAxEs-A CooL PRoPo-
sIT1oN.-The Waukegan (Ill.) Gazette,
a "Repw5ficam" paper, thinks it is a
Serious question how the taxes of this
State are to be collected" this year. 1t
thinks that Governor Bissell should at
once issue a call for an extra session OF
the Legislature to take into considcra-
ton measures for relief. Ifimpracticable
to pass a law providing that taxes may be
paid in bank currency secured by State
stocks, the LEGISLATURE might postpone
the collection for a year, when it is rea-
sonable to suppose that a better state OF
monetary affairs would exist"
Why not propose Lyman Trumbull's
ancient remedy, viz; in consideration OF
the hard times, We repudiate our State
debt until it is convenient to pay it?

The Process of Popular Economy

The most healthful result of the pres
ent pressure in money affairs is the alac-
rity with which every class of society
has Iesorted to retrenchment. There is
not a household, from the richest to the
poorest, hat has not adopted this prac-
tice. Spend thrift habits are given over
without a sigh. In the course of a
very short time the effect will be visible
1t is a strange sight to see twenty-six
millions of people, who have been rush.
ing along in one mad career of extrava-
gance, hating suddenly in midway, and
giving up all their expensive courses of
life. No nation in the world is capable
of such an act of self sacrifice. Hence
forth, economy will become as fashion
able as was the reverse oily a few weeks
ago.
The enormous expense for apparel
will be cut down at least three-fourths,
while the passion for great houses, pub
lie aud private, splendid furniture, lux
urious carriages, and the thousand ct
ceteras which attend and follow such
f%ollies, will soon become that part of his
tory of which all who participated in it
will be, most heartily ashamed. The
New York Evening Post, speaking of
the determination to save money aud to
stop spending it, uses the following stri-
king language:
when all the white people of the u
nited States reduce their expenses one
shilling a day, it makes a difference OF
eigteen millions of dollars a week and
over fifty millions every month. If
the nations could be kept on a reasona-
bly, short allowance from now till the
first of January, what we would save
would alone make US rich"
While the people are setting such an
example, one to the ether, we suggest
whether thus is not a time for our rep
r~esentatives to pause before resortiDg to
any further special legislation, and
whether this is not the occasion for the
banks to adopt the same course,-PhH-

p moNEY FOE TAXES,

A report has been put in circula ion
that Mr.. JACOBS, the County Treasurer,
had determined to receive only gold and
silver in payment for taxes. There is
no truth in this report. Mr.. JACOBS
has at no time contemplated refusing
the notes of specie paying banks when
offered by tax-payers,--but like all other
persons acting in a trust capacity, he re-
ceives bank notes at his W risk.

Is it the Tariff---Or is it the
Banks and Stockholders?

The old Wing party hue and cry
against a low tariff is raised again as the
cause of our late excessive importations.
Even the late free trade David Wilmo',
of Pennsylvania, takes up the low tariff
of '46 as the cause Of the present revul-
sion; but we cannot concur with these
high philosophers in this solution of the
financial troubles that have so thickly
come upon us. No. We cannot trace
them to tho tariff of '46, but we can
trace them to the banks and stock-iob-
bers, the railroad and land Spectators,
the fashions, fummeries, fooleries, ex-
travagancies, nincompooperies, vanities,
licentiousness, rogueries, defalcations,
entertainments, forgeries, frauds, PERU
rers, and all the other rascalities of a
wide spread decentralization among men
and women, saints and sinners-from
p~uritanical Boston to Sabbath breaking
New Orleans. These are the potent
causes Of the present revuision, and a
two hundred per cent. tariff against
these terrible evils of the times would
have been as powerless as a row-boat in
the rapids of Niagara. Millionaire
railroad jobbers, stock jobbcrs, land
jobbers, banks, speculators, pe~culators,
and forgers, fast young men, fast old
men, fast women, fast horses, brandy,
billiards and faro, French gewgaws, fash
ionable rivalries in wasting money, and
all such rubbish, stuff and abominf tons,
have done the business. The tariff of
'46 can't be made the scapegoat of the
revulsIon of '57. We have been enjoy
ing a high ~carousal, and arc now called
upon to foot the bills.-M Y. Herald
