HORRIBLE CASE OF SELF MUTrLArIoN.
One of the most horrible and ex.
traordinary cases of mutilation which
we have ever heard Of occurred at
Milesburg, Centre county, Pa, last
week. The particulars of the affair
are as follows: A young man named
Aaron lrcIy, who had just been par.
doned out Of the Penitentiary, visited
a rolling mill in the above neighbor-
hood, and deliberately walking to a
large shear, placed his arms between
the blades and severed both about
midway between the hands and ell
bows. The horrible act was per.
formed so coolly and deliberately that
no suspicion was entertained of his
design. When questioned as to his
motive for the seIf.mutilation, he re-
piled that "his hands had been the
means OF sending him to the penitenr
tiary once, and he was determined
they should never get him into troub.
lie again" lie was taken to neigh
bor's house. and a physician sent for,
who reamputated both his arms--an
operation which he is said TO have
borne with a stoacism and indifer-
encc that astonished all who witness
it. lie is recovering rapidly, and
manilcsts the utmost unconcern for
the loss of of his arms.-PMsbWg

WRITING FOR THE PR ESS.


There is no class Of people more
frequently sneercd at than editors.
1t is the easiest thing in the world TO
charge them with being mercenary;
to say that such and such an article
was paid for; that anybody can have
anything praised or abused in a pa
per, if he will pay for it; and, says a
wiscacre. every now and then. if |
had a newspaper here, wouldt pitch
into this or that. and wouldn't | show
the people what an independent pa
per is! Well, my friend and pitcher,
why not establish paper and pitch
into everything and every bodyP No
body can object to your doing so. The
papers that are in the habit ofpitching
into everything are the easiest edited
in the world. 1t is only well pracliced
and maturcd editors that possess that
wisdom and true independence which
consists in refusing to pitch i'm that
manlness which can withstand a
pubic camor, that can scorn person
alities, and that can treat public ques-
tons with the dignity and sobcrncss
that can alone secure respect for the
press.

WYATT FOR THEE.

The hearth is swcpt-thc fire is bright,
The kettle sings for tea;
The cloth is spread, the lamp is light,
The mullins smoke in napkins white,

The clock ticks lstingIy;
The blinds are shut, the curtain down,
The arm-char to the irc.sidc drawn

Come home, love, come; bis deep fond ey
Looks round him wistl'ully;
And when the whispering wln!| 90 by,
As if thy welcome steps were nigh,
He crows cXultngly.
In vnin--hc finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance on mine
SO earnestly, that yet again,
His form unto my heart strain,
That glance is SO like thine.
Thy task is done miss thee here;
Where 'er thy footsteps roam,
No heart will spend such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear,
Like those vino wait thee home.

The wCIi.knoWn step doth come;
The bolt is drawn, the gllc is past,
The boy is wild with joy at lust
A thousand welcomes home.

And shadows deep lie on his brow,
BY business trials crossed.
Be gentle: It's for you he tolls,
And thinks and strives to gain
Home comforts and home happiness:
Don't let him strive in vain.
Be gentle: though some hasty word
Should fall, it was not meant;
A smile, kind word will recall,
Aud many more prevent.
Be gentle: oh, twill soothe much care,
And make each burdcn light;
A gentle tone will smooth the brow,
And draw an answer bright.
Be gentle though it may SEEM hard
TO check an angry word;
Yet try, and it will surely bring
A full and rich reward.

From the Daily Pichyunc
UNIVERSITY or THE SOUTH.
A correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, writing from
Sowaner, Cumberland Plateau, Tenn,
August 20jh., writes interestingly con,
cerning this pleasant and eligible site
Of the proposed university of the
South:
1t is but very recently that this part
Of the country has come under the
notice OF tourists. Prior to the con-
struction of the Nashville and Chat
tanooga Railroad, it was II terra in.
cognita," but now, thanks to the ia
ciIilcs of the iron rail it is becoming
one Of the fashionable resorts Of the
Southern country.
The watering place par excellence
is Becrsheba Springs, which are daily
becoming popular-lcsS for the vir-
tue of the waters than for the pure
mountain air and even temperature
which is 50 bracing and pleasant to
those whose home is in the low cot
ton lands.
The Cumberland range differs, |
believe, from any other mountain
range in this country, in the character
of its formation. 1t is an c,evatcd
plain from five to forty miles in width
and when once on the mountain, you
see only gently undulating region
around YOU, without rock or a peak
in sight. The idea is well expressed
by the remark Of Il writer, that it
seemed as though this was the true
level, and that the valleys below had
been scoped out. Pleasant, shady
roads, a generous growth Of timber, II
meadowy-llke grassy surface, chest
nuts, oaks. pines, and cl IN and hicko-
ry. give it beautiful vcrdurc.
Much attention is now being direc-
ted to this locality, on account Of its
selection as the site of the proposed
University Of the South, under the
auspices of the ten most Southern
Dioccscs OF the Episcopal Church.
Instead Of wasting their means in To-
cal institutions, they have wisely uni
ted in powerful effort to establish
what rs yet is unknown TO this coun
try--a true university, on a scale as
extensive as any in Europe.
The Cumberland plateau has been
selected as its site, on account OF its
elevation aud saubrity, and a prince
" domain of 10000 acres has been
secured for the institution, travcrsed
by the railway Of the Scwanee Min
ing Company.
The whole of their domain is beau
tirul and picturesque, allording every
variety of scenery, from the quiet,
shady nook, the purling stream and
the sparkling spring. TO the ext 'nsive
views and tremendous chasms and
cliffs along the crest of the mountain
Imagine the Ca,tskill Mountain House
to be on the margin Of The plateau OF
miles in width, and over "a hundred in
length, and you will have an idea of
the views on the University site.--
More than IA hundred springs, some OF
them chalybeatc and some free stone,
have been discovered bursting from
under the sandstone cap which over.
lays this part of the plateau.
The principal spr Ig, formerly call.
ed Rainy Spring. is now appropriate.
ly named after the protector of the
University, Bishop Folks" Spring.
There seems now no question but
what this magnificent plan will be
carried out according to the concep'
ton of its founders. More than five
hundred thousand dollars have alrea
dy been secured for its endowment
