The Monongahela River Disaster.
MoRGANTowN, WEST Va,
February "a, 1869.

Editors of the Register:
Ga Thursday the 10Th inst, Edwin w.
Tower, Thomas McNeely, Robert Will
hanson, George Larwell and Mr.. Her
vey arrived here, accompanying the re.
mains of George McNeely, their deceas-
ed relative and friend, who had died at
Monongahela City and was broHght
here for interment. On Friday even
ing about five o'clock, the party, with
the exception of Thomas McNeely, left
here in a skiff in charge OF Beckwith ii.
Scar for their respective homes, expect
ing to reach Greensboro in time for the
Saturday morning boat. Yesterday
morning dispatch was received
from the wife of Mr.. Williams in
quiring if he had left here yet.
The inquiry aroused the suspicious
Of our citizens and led to diligent in
quiry, eliciting the following facts, up
to this hour of writing: The party
stopped at Randall, three miles below
here, and caulked their leaky and 9TH
erwise unsafe boat. No one has seen
them since. The boat was found bottom
upward a short distance below Green's
boro. and a hat answering the descrip-
tion of that worn by Williams was
found upon the river short distance
above the latter place. Some one llv-
ing near the mouth of Dunkard creek
heard cries for help about nine o'clock.
This morning some thirty or forty Of
our citizens started, with the necessary
implements, to make thorough search
for the bodies, as all the attending cir
cumstances leaves no doubt in
the minds of our citizens that
the entire party are drowned.
Mr.. Tower was former resident of this
place, more recently of Pittsburgh, aud
at the time of his death was living at
New Florence, Westmoreland county,
Pennsylvania. He resided here many
years, and was regarded as one of the
most enterprising and energetic of our
citizens. Williams and Hervey were
residents of Monongahela City, the
former a son.in-law of Mr.. Tower, and
the latter the son of the proprietor of
the Hervey House of that place. Lar
we'll resided at Wooster, Ohio; his
mother is the sister of Mrs. DR.. Todd,
of your city. Sears was resident of
this place.
Colonel Hanway, who is with the
party in seach of the bodies, telegraphed
late this evening that no further par
ticulars had been learned; that there is
no doubt of their loss, and the place of
the accident. A large party are en-
gagged dragging the river, and hopes are
entertained that the bodies will be re-
covered tomorrow morning.
will write you any further psrticu-
lars that may come to light between
this and tomorrow night by Saturdays

Harry Chamberlain, aged not quite
fifteen, committed suicide at Akron,
Ohio, last Tuesday, by hanging himself
to a rafter with a skate strap. The
boys father blew out his brains nve
years ago, and nothing but hereditary
mania can be assigned as cause for the
act of the boy. He seemed cheerful
was most tenderly treated by his grand
parents, and was a promising pupil at
the school where be was being educated
last Tuesday was stormy, and his
grandmother advised him not to venture
to school. Until II A. NJ. he read and
nIayed checkers. At that hour he went
up stairs, ostensibly to get another
book. but really to end his young life
He was heir to property worth $1,000.

February 81, 1869.
Editsrs the Register:
On looking over the proceedings of
the State Senate of the 25th inst, find
that our worthy Senator, James Bur-
ley, has before the Judiciary committee
that body a bill asking that forty
eight acres of land, in Marshall county.
belonging to Samuel Akin aud James
McMurry, be re-assesssd. Now, sir, l
propose an amendment to that bill; it
Is this: That eight hundred acres Of
land in the same county, owned by the
Senator himself, be also re-assessed at
the same time, for the reason that the
SAID eight hundred acres of land is not
now taxed onefourth of what it should
De- No one here has the remotest idea
that the honorable gentleman has had
anything TO do with bringing about this
favorable assessments of his lands by
the promise of his influence, or by
bribery OF any kind. He is not a man
OF that character. The fault lies at the
door of the sanctifed Turner and his
colleague; 1t was slight inadvertence
or mistake of theirs which l have no
doubt the Senator will gladly correct by
accepting my amendment to his hill SO
that his lands can be re.assesscd at the
same time with Messrs. Atkins and Nc.
Murry's. hope the gentleman will ac.
cept my amendment and urge the i'm.
mediate passage of the bill.

A clover field is very rare thing in
North Carolina.
Sweet oifis recommended as a cure
for bots in horses.
Take care of your plow and your plow
will take care of you.s
In California, oats, rye, barley and
buckwheat are as dear as wheat, and
corn is dearer.
Swinging hat, or screaming at a
runaway horse, is about as. sensible as
would be the application of straw to a
burning building.
1t is noticeable that apple trees, on
cultivated lands, are producing much
more fruit than those which are located
in grass fields.
Southern men are boasting that last
years cotton crop is of more advantage
to the country than all the gold Cali
fornia has ever produced.
Thorough drainage, deep blowing, a
liberal use of manure, and good cultiva-
tion cannot fail to produce remunera-
tive, bountiful harvests.
John johnson, than whom there is no
better farmer in the republic, says cows
and sheep should not be pastured to-
gether.. Horses and sheep form a more
suitable partnership, as their grazing
habits are similar.
A writer in the american Stock Journal
says that costiveness and its accompa-
nying evils, are the main cause of sows
destroying their young, and that green
and other proper food is the preventive
and cure.
The man who can make his own fire,
black his own boots, carry his own
wood, hoe his own garden, pay his own
debts, and lives without wine and to-
bacco, need ask no favor of him who
rides in coach and four.
A war of determination is being
waged against the crows in the pine
hills near Winchester, Va. One party
killed $50 the other night, and it wasn't
a good night for crows either. The
State pays three cents pair for feet.
Dickens says: "The part of the hold.
ing Of farmer or land holder, which
pays best for cultivation, is the small
estate within the ring fence of his
skull" 1t is mainly this small estate
to which our winter work should be de-
voted.
Young trees may be manured to great
advantage by spreading manure over
the roots as far as they extend, or over
a circle whose radius is equal to the
height of a tree, in autumn or early
winter, and spading this manure in, in
spring.
To cure dog of sheep killing, let him
see the sheep he has killed; in his pres
ence take off the pelt, fasten it tightly
around him, and make him wear it
from one to three days. We think you
will never be troubled by his meddling
with sheep again.

CRETE.
Condition of the Christian Residents.

CODdIt10n Oi the Chflstliln heSltenlss
In the House of Commons on July 10, Mr..
Sergeant DoWse asked the Under Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs whether any steps were
at present being taken by the Turkish Govern
ment to secure to the Christians in Crete those
civil and religious rights, the enjoyment of
which had been so frequently promised ny the
Turkish Government to its Christian subjects
since the Crimean war.
Mr. Otway replied that the Porte had taken
steps to secure those rights to the Christians of
Crete by the introduction into the island since
the termination of the insurrccton of the Vilayet
system of administration. Under that system
q General Assembly was elected, whose duty IL
was to apportion between the governments
into which the island was divided the
amount of direct taxes to be raised; to regu-
late the collection of indirect taxes, to con-
troll the general revenue and expenditure, and to
discuss measures of administration. The first
session of that body had just been held. Her
Maiesty's Consul reported that the elections had
been conducted with perfect order and fair
ness not single complaint of interference on
the part of the authorities having been made;
but that it would only be by experience that any
correct opinion as to the working of that system
of administration could be formed. Local
councils with functions of n corresponding
character were elected for each of the govern
ments into which the island was divided. The
composition of the General Assembly and of the
local councils was as follows;-Delegates in equal
numbers Christians and Mussulmans, were elect
ed by the inhabitants protesting the two re-
gions in mixed districts; and Christians alone
| were elected in districts only inhabited by
Christians. All measures of n repressiVe
nature adopted during the insurrection seemed
| to have been withdrawn the refugees had con-
tinued to return in large numbers; a general
| disarmament had been quietly effected, and the
| Porte had granted the same sum that was for
merly giyen towards the maintenance of Chris
| tian schools. A general measure of education
| would probably be adopted as soon as duly
| qualified teachers could be obtained.
