Mr. Williams was one of the early settlers n
Canton twp, and one who was highly esteemedby
all who knew him. During his last moments he
manifested desire to commit his soul to God, and
expressed strong expectation of soon meeting his
former companion i'll heaven. 1t was hard for him
TO leave his little son (an only child of years).

The duel was fought with pistols, and en-
ded IN most tragic manner. One of the
combatants remained dead on the ground.

Twelve shots were exchanged. NJ. W.
fired his last shot while on his knees, being.
unable to stand from the loss of blood. He

A BOLD SwINDLE-An individual sailing
under the name of Charles Day, has been
doing" the good people of Ebensburg and
| vicinity in most rascally manner 1t APP
pears he settled in that town in March last,
| stopping at the Logan House, and repre-
senting himself as being Canadian and a
dealer in live stock, and during his sojourn
he bought largely Of horses COWS and sheep,
for some Of which he paid and othere gave
his promise to pay. He was afable and
| polite and his person was uniformly set off
to advantage by the best quality of neatly
fitting clothes. He wore kid gloves, and to
crown all he was the owner of span of
| fast trotting match horses. With distin-
guished air about him, coupled with agree.
able assurance, he looked very like gen
tleman. Ostensbly he was Christian
He had considerable money, said to amount
to 81 800 or thereabouts, on which he -four
lshed immensel y. He speedily ingratiated
himself into the good graces of the citizens,
and his credit was almost illimitable. Ere
long money accumulated on his hands to
such an extent that he deemed it advisable
to invest it in real estate, and forthwith
bought farm in Lancaster county for Sl0,-
600. When the first payment thereon was
to be made, about three weeks ago. he found
himself involved in live stock speculation
so extensive as to eat up almost his entire
capital, leaving him without suficiency
to meet the payment. In this state of af-
fairs he q went in " on his credit " for few
days" Receiving various amounts, rang
ing from $40 to $500, on the borrow"
principal, he started for Lancaster to make
the payment on his farm.
Some time last spring this same individ-
ual called at the National Bank with some
Sl03 in gold and silver, which he wished
to sell. The Cashier not being willing to
pay him the price he asked for it, he left
the money on deposit, taking check for it.
On the occasion of his last visit, he called
at the Bank and lifted the money, or receiv-
ed an equivalent for it: He promised to re-
turn the check previously given, as soon as
he would get home The next information
received from him was the check for $l03
presented to the National Bank by the Ad
ans Express Company, with the request to
pay to the order of j. Kimball q Co. An
examination of the list of private bankers
IN the country gave the place Of business
of j. kimball Il Co. as being at Toronto,
Canada West. Day had gone home. The
swindle was now out. AS matter of
course, the check was returned unpaid

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The argus seems to be troubled by
chronic inquisitiveness as to what the Re-
PORTER is " in favor Of" 1t is not often that
we feel inclined to crafty the impertinent
curiosity of our non-descript neighbOr, but
as to its enquiry of last week we have no
hesitancy in assuring it, that we are not
opposed to the projected railroad between
this point and Ithaca No one, unless he
was block-head, or intended wilfully to
misrepresent could have construed our re-
marks in reference to the projected i'm
provement, to imply hostility.
We are decidedly in favor of any rail-
road leading from this place, to connec-
ton with the great network of roads of
this country, thereby giving us an outlet
for our coal by rail, or, by canal, and by
rail for passengers, merchandise, and agri-
cultural products at all times We are not
welded to any gauge or route of course
we prefer the best route for all our inter
ests. We believe the proper outlet by rail
for our coal, is up the valley of the river,
ending at such point as best subserves all
interests, be that at tire Erie Railway,
Ithaca, or Sodus Bay we say give us the
rail outlet
AS journalist it is our duty to lay all
the facts before the people. They should
fully understand the whole matter They
should carefully consider all questions con-
nected with it. Our people will be called
upon to assist in building the road with
their money, they should be able to Judge
correctly when asked.
One word more as to the canal managers
We are authorized to say they are in favor
of rail outlet, the moment the tonnage Of
fered justifes the expenditure. They can
build a road to the State line very cheap ;
and no doubt, will do so when they are sat
isfed the tonnage justifies their asking
parties to invest money for that purpose
VIII the argus give us its programme for
building the road to State line?
The Ithaca people have organized, elected
I1Oll. ILkA OOhN ELL i IGSluCHI, anu SuDSCIl-
bed over 100000 to the stock, as we learn;
this looks like work. Should not our coal
interests move in the matter, or, at least,
indicate their views, as to the road, and its
connections? Our columns are open to
the full and fair discussion of this question
If there are obstacles in the way of the
building Of the Railroad, it is certainly
better that they should be understood met
and considered at the outset The magni-
tude Of the projected Improvement requires
that all interests shall be united in pushing
it forward. Otherwise talk and public
meetings and resolutions avail nothing.
We see no reason why there should be a
clashing Of interests, and certainly we
shall not countenance or uphold anything
which is calculated to rctard the speedy
commencement and early completion of a
work of such vital Importance to this sec
tion of the country.

GREAT REDUCTIoN OF THE Army is as
certained from official sources that on the
first day Of last May there were one million
and fifty thousand men enrolled in the army
and on the pay rolls. Since that date there
have been discharged little over seven
hundred thousand, leaving in round num-
bers about three hundred and thirty thous-
and still in the army and on the pay rolls.
Of the number discharged about three hun
dred thousand are now Ell route and at
their several rendezvous, to be paid off and
mustered out. The funds sufficient to meet
this demand are in the hands of the pay
masters, and are being paid out as fast as
possible. The others who have been dis
charged, or over four hundred thousand,
have been fully paid off and mustered out.
The rapidity with which this part of the
work is performed may be inferred from the
fact that the official figures in the depart
ments at Washington show that there have
been paid off and mustered out in the last
thirty days over two hundred and sixty
thousand men,. The Secretary of the
Treasury has promptly furnished the funds
necessary for this enormous expenditure,
and there has been no delay on that ac-
count.

HE CHoLERA.-EXperience shows that d
sease, like empire, always pursues a west,
ward course. All the great epidemics that
have afflicted the human race originated
among the dense, low-fed, and filthy popu,
latiOns of the East, and have extended west
ward until checked by climate influences
The course Of cholera, which excites scarce
ly so much ALARM or rather preparation, as
it should, illustrates this law 1t origina
ted among the halfstarved workmen on the
Suez Canal, who We're huddlcd together il
thousands under circumstances that would
naturally engcnder disease 1t has spread
westward steadily. We hear Of its being
successively at Jerusalem and Constantine
pie, and we may anticipate its speedy APP
pearance i'll England and New York. Al
ready the State Department has received q
warning from our Consul at Port Mahon
the first stopping-place in the Mediterranean
Of Eastern travel, of the appearance of the
appearance OF the scourge in that place, in
spite OF the stringent quarantine regula
tions adopted.
Later intelligence dispels the reports OF
the mild character of the disease. At Alex
andria and Cairo respectively, the mortali
ty was thousand a day, with a proper
tionate fatality i'll the intermediate towns.
The population was terror-stricken, and all
that could were fleeing from the country
In Syria the disease had not yet assumed
an aggravated form, but all indications
pointed to the worst results of former epid
emics.
In view of these facts and the strong
probability, amounting almost to certain.
ty, that the disease will be carried from
Turkey to Western Europe, the remissness
of our people is somewhat surprising They
have been warned frequently by the Wash
ington authorities to adopt sanitary pre-
cautions in the principal towns and cities
but, so far as New York is concerned, moth
ing has yet been done The city was nev-
er in more filthy condition at this season
of the year. All the conditions are favora-
bic for the reception and extension of the
disease when it is carried here in the emf

MOVEMENTS OF TRooPs.-The troops of the
Fourth Corps pass up to the interior with
headquarters at San Antonia de Bexar. and
will perhaps occupy all that part of Texas
north and east of that point, and stretching
westward until they connect with those of
the Thirteenth Army Corps, lying on or
near the Upper Rio Grande. 1t is the heart
of Texas and the natural garden of the
South. The only Pennsylvania regiment
connected with these troops, is the Seventy
seventh, in which there are large num-
