ceeded to his attic to awaken his prisoner, whom
he had there confined BY means of a chain some
three four feet long attached at one end to his
leg, and at the otherto his bed, when. on enter

Upton, May ~, 1891.
NEssRs. EDITORS: - Believing an ac-
count of the following singular occurrence
would be Of interest to your readers, it is at
your disposal:
AS son of Mr.. Jacob Rinehart, FRESH
ding near this place,) a lad shout twelve
years old, was passing along the bank OF
West Conococheague Creek, his attention
was attracted to boy, still less than him
self, preparing bats for bis book and line,
as he was fishing. When near him, the boy
suddenly manifested great alarm, and fell
back Ito the Creek. Young Riuehart, with
unusual presence of mind, immediately pro-
cured pole, aud thrust the end of it into
the water where the boy bad fallen in, and
although be was so deep 10 the water as to
be out OF sight. yet he took hold oft, when
young Rinehart drew him to the shore. He
had scarcely got him TO shore ere he per
ceiyed what was the cause OF the little fell
lows alarm, which was, that large Black
Snake, about four and a-haif feet in length,
had wrapped itself tight around the boys
body. Fortunately he had been using a
knife for cutting bats, which he dropped
when the snake 6rss attacked him. Picking
it up, young Rinehart Immediately applied
it to MS snakship to release the little fellow
from his coils; but 20 tight was it fastened
around bis body, that he had to insert tie
blade fatwise between the snake aud the
body OF the boy, and then tarned the edge,
aud By vigorous cut, severed it in two,
In doing this, however, he did not escape
being himself bit IN the ilger, without, how
ever, being much Injured therefroun, as the
inflammation produced from the bite, wa,
slight. The snake had wrapped itself near
ly twice around the body of the boy. This
is certainly a very singular circumstance
AMI owing to the presence Of mind of youns
Rinehart, the lad was saved from prema
ture death. Yours, truly. G. c.

SALE OF THE MAIN LINE.

A bill for the sale of toe Main Line Of
the public improvements Of the State, was
passed at the recent session Of our legisla
ture. The Governor approved the bill,
and under the provisions be hes already
advertised the line for sale on the 25th OF
the present month; and we confidently trust
sale will be effected. Tho lowest price
at which any purchaser can buy is seven
and one half millions of dollars; ard
should the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. be-
come the purchaser it will have 10 pay not
less than nine millions. In our Judgment
this is the most Important, and most bene-
fetal legislation which has been enacted for
years; and We fondly hoped that all par
ties would SO regard it. We believe sale
of our public works TO be the only means
whereby our immense State debt can ever
be paid, and our heavy Stats taxes reduced,
and hence the magnitude of the question,
and the reason why every nah, and espcci-
ally every tax payer, should examine II
carefully, and endeavor to understand it in
all its bearings. No justice can be done
the subject in any one newspaper article of
ANY reasonable length, aud therefore we
propose to furnish to our readers series Of
letters on this important subject, written
-by gentleman every way qualified for the
task, and who has recently fully aud care
fully investigated the whole subject in all
its relations. His character for intelli-
gence, and integrity, aud his opportunities
for information are such as to make all his
statements worthy of the entire confidence
of every reader; and we are happy to en-
sura them full and satisfactory explanations
on every question connected with the sub
jeet At least some of the letters were
prepared at Harrisburg during the peaden-
cy Of the Bill for the Sale of the Main
Line before the Legislature, and with d.
rect reference to the economy and policy Of
sale. We will publish letter No. |, next
week, and hope to be able to continue them
every week regularly until the whole sub
jeet is fully examined and exhausted. We
bespeak for them a careful perusal, and re-
commend our readers to hand them TO their
neighbors, for We are fully persuaded that
no good citizen will be opposed to the sale
of the Main Line if he properly under
stands all the questions involved therein. :

sLANpKR AND suIcrpE.-A correspon-

ISLANDER AND SUIcipE.-A correspon-
dent of the BOSTON Traveller, writing from
Newport, Me-, under date Of May 20th,
furnishes the following particulars Of the
sad death Of a young lady:
"Miss Mary Martin, very pretty and
intelligent young lady, Of about twenty
years Of age, committed suicide by drown
ing herself III the stream at Detroit, the
town adjoining this. She invited a young
lady friend 10 walk with her, and seating
herself on log near the stream, she told
her friend that she was about 10 drown her,
self, aud the reason for so doing. She
took off all Of her jewelry and gave it tc
the young lady, saying, ri want you to
have these Ia few moments after bel
friend persuaded her TO retnrn 10 the house
telling her they would come down in the
afternoon. They had proceeded only about
five OF six rods, when Miss Martin caught
hold Of her friend, and dragged her TO.
wards the stream rod or two, but sudden,
y releasing her hold, she ran and jumped
in. Her friend gave the alarm, and bro
ther of Miss Martin came to her relief, bu
too late--life was extinct when her body
was taken out. The cause for this melan.
choly suicide was SANDER. During th'
past winter stories have been circulated t'
iujure her character. She protested her IN
nocence, and but few weeks before, while
walking nasr the place where she wa
drowned, with the young man to whom sh'
was engaged, she said, (referring to be-
troubles, elf ! thought there were no hap
pier days in store for ne, / would jump in
and drown myself" Miss Martin was
very pretty, modest and highly. respectable
young lady, and her untimely death is deep
y regretted. ] hope it will serve as I
warning to those who are ever ready II
circulate evil reports"

AFFAIRS IN UTAH

4 Washington correspondent of the New
York Jo,a nal Of Commrcs, furnishes that
paper with the annexed statement Of the
state Of affairs in Utah:
The Government is much concerned in re-
gard to the state of things 10 Utah, aud are
engaged in the consideration Of the means of
affording TO the people OF that Territory the
protection Of law. Several gentlemen from
Utah are in Washington and others from
Iowa, who are well acquired with Utah af-
fairs. find that Brigham Young has not
been expelled from the Territory, and has
neither abdicated nor fed, hs vas reported.
On the contrary be is preparing to nautain
his power, under the pretext Of upholdins
the principles of squatter sovereignty.
Ny informants estimates the population
Of Utah at only forty thousand, though Gov.
Young says that it is double that Perhaps
it is about fifty thousand. One half the
population are foreigners. Formerly, the
proportion Of Americans was much greater.
The foreign population is said to be some
what improved in material condition BY the
change, while that which is American, suf-
fers prlvations to which they had not been
accustomed. The foreigners are ignorant
and fanatical, and are subjected TO the
authority of Brigham Young. The Amer
leans are more enlightened, especially as to
civil rights, and have become insubordinate
and dissatisfied, and threaten TO overiurn
the power of "the prophet, priest and
King"
Brigham Young has an army of twenty
Eve hundred men, under good discipline.
They are drilled every day. They are mostly
foreigners, and comprise the most ignorant,
brutal ,and fanatical. of the Mormons. There
fore they are fit instruments for the purpo-
ses of Brigham Young. They have no sym
pathy with American institutions, social or
political, and viii, when let loose hesitate
at no atrocities.
At present, there is nothing like an ad-
uinistration Of justice between man and man,
in the Territory. Every question is resol-
we'd into one, as between the parties con-
cerned and Brigham Young. OF course
Judges are driven away, the records are de-
stroyed, the processes of Courts are disre-
garded, the iuriea are all subservient to
Ysung's orders, and the Territory is sub
jecfed to reign Of terror Assassihations
are not unfrequent, and the seizure and
confsca.ion Of private property is a common

ANOTHER MARE,S NEST.

The pious editor, Of the Glzette, and
other patriotic moralists, are greatly horri-
fed beeause, as they say, the Senate dur
Ing the late session Of the Legislature,
'spassed bill allowing Atheists to testify
in our courts OF justice wifhot taxing an
oofh." We have inquired into this matter
and are credibly infor ned that no such
bill passed either branch of the Legisla-
ture, nor was any such bill even under con-
sideration. This is just what We expected,
und We bope the indignant keepers of the
morals of the State will feel relieved.-
There was bill passed through The Senate
By vote of about troenty fov 10 SIR, on
the subject of evidence, nearly every Loco
foco voting for it, but it was not of the
character above indicated, and whetl er
right or wrong. we viii be better abe to
say when We can see a copy of it.
