Il 0rribIc CTime PeFpctrated by Boys.

The Pottsvllle Miners's Journal says
We have heard of an act perpetrated on
the Goth instant, near this borough, which
surpasses in cool ferocity and tiendishness
anthing that ever took place in this coun-
ty. 1t seems that on that day, three boys
belonging to tais borough or Mt. Carbon,
it is not yet definitely known, went ont on
the road between this borough and Cres-
sons, until they reached q point about IL
mile beyond hillside About a quarter of
a mile from the house oG laborer, named
Hornickel, several children were playing,
among them his son Frederick, between
IL and II years of age. The boys when
they reached this spot built fire, seized
and dragged Frederick to it, and, most
horrible to state, held the little boy over it
until he was actually roasted. Then they
fed. When found the injured boy was i'll
terrible condition, and it i8 feared that
he is burned internally by inhaling the
flames. He has not been able to tall.
since the occurrence, and is in critical
condition.
We understand that the motive for the
inhuman act is supposed to have been re-
venge for information that Frederick had
given of some boys who had recently rob.
bed neighbors spring house.

par tial hearing before Squire Fraily the

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 1869.
The Democratic members of Congress,
some of whom are now here, unite in the
impression that their policy for the COM
ing session will be very quiet one. So
far as reconstruction is concerned the De-
mocrats consider that by the meeting of
Congress the whole thing will be
practically ended, and that all the States
will be admitted early in the session. In
this particular they are sustained by the
majority of the Republicans All discus
sions upon that subject in Republican quar-
ters tend to make manifest the fact that
the majority of the leading men consider
that there will be no further delay.
They are thoroughly willing that the first
year of the present administration shall
witness the thorough reconstruction OF the
of the President.
| There will be some Democratic talent
expended upon the finances, but there will
be nothing like party division upon the
subject.
The heavy coin balance in the Treasury
has not been reduced much since the LIST
instant, Notwithstanding the amount due
for the November interest on bonds. Ma
nv Of the parties holding bonds are in no
hurry to draw the coin due for interest
and this prevents sudden heavy fail IN
the balance of specie on hand. 1t seems
to be the policy of the Department. as fal
as possible, to keep heavy coin balance
in the vaults. This is very much against
Mr.. Greeley's notions.

For Diseases OF the Throat and Lungs,

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and COnsumptiOn.

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upOn the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their estlma
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known a
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, II Is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gprOuS affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, 1t should
be kept on hand IN every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdOtc for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought in
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOraE. So complete Is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to 1t. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the cherry Pee
tOraL they silbsde and disappear.
singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from 1t. ,

cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the

receipt is worth thousand dollars to every

and half pound OF unslacked lime, and
put them in gallon of water; boil twenty
minutes let it stand until cool then draw
off and put in jug or jar; soak your dirty
clothes over night, or until they are wet
through, then wiring them, and rub on
plenty Of soap, and with water add one
teacupful of the washing fluid; boil half
an hour or more, rinse, and your clothes
will look better than the old way of wash
ing twice before boiling. This is an inVal-
liable receipt, and every poor, tired woman
should try it.
