GRAND REcEPrIoN.-Last Monday night
Mr. E. Murray, proprietor of the Overland
Hotel, of this city, gave public reception
and supper, to which our citizens were gem
orally invited, and to which, judging from
the crowded state of the rooms of the

given. The Albany Brass Band discoursed
sweet strains OF music under the blaze of
g brilliant illumination of the windows of
the hotel, and the guests partOok of a sump-
tuOus repast served UP in the very beststyle
known to the culinary art. After supper a
large number of the guests repaired to Burk-
hart's Hall and finished the evenings enjoy
msnt with pleasant dance. Such indefati-
gable enterprise as that displayed by Mr..
Murray on this occasion cannot fail Iofa gen.
Rrous reward.

Sad Occurrence On the Schuylkill.

On Tuesday evening Albert Il. Baker,
and William &. DeArmond, accompanied
by several ladies, went on IA boating ex-
curson up the Schuylkill. They proceed
ed as far as the Falls, and about eleven
p. NJ. started on the return trip. The
party were all in small boat. just below
the Falls the boat struck upon rock,
and hole was stove in the front aud wa
ter poured in at fearful rate.
DeArmond went forward to endeavor to
stop the leak. His feet got entangled in a
rope and he was pitched overheard. The
sudden movement caused the boatto make
a lurch and the three other occupants
were thrown out at the stern. The young
men were good swimmers. DeArmond
however, could not get disentangled from
the rope. Baker seized one Of the ladies
around the waist and the other by the
the dress DeArmond told him to hold
on, that he would be there in few sec
Onds.
The whole party drifted down the river
When near the Falls Bridge, Baker and
the two ladies suddenly sank, and were
seen no more. The current swept the
boat against one of the piers of the bridge
Then the rope which had held DeArmond
fast, broke and he crawed up on thc
stones, from which he was afterward res
cued in an almost exhausted state.
The Schuylkill Harbor Police have
endeavored to find the bodies cf the un
fortunate victims, but to no effect.

Heavy Bond Robbery.

w. IL. Hoar, who has just arrived
from Chill South America, on Sunday re-
ported at the Central Police Office New
York, the details Of robbery pcrpetra-
ted upon him. 1t seems that on Thurs
day last he drew from a banking house
in Chicago, $4,000 in 500 bonds, few
moments before starting for that city
Proceeding to the Sherman House he
found his baggage in the Office ready for
shipment. Stepping to one side in the
rotunda he drew out the envelope contain
ing the bonds, put in with them 500 in
currency, and turning to his valise, then
in charge of the porter, opened it and
deposited the envelope and contents there
in. He proceeded direct to the cars
keeping the valisc in his own possession
The following night, on retiring, he
placed the valise in his berth, and he
AYERS, with the exception Of while he
slept, it was not a moment out Of his
sight. On arriving in New York on Sat
urday he discovered that the bonds had
been extracted 1t is probable that he
was followed from the banking house to
the hotel and the train by thief, who
opened the valise with false key while
he slept Mr.. Hoar is a partner of one
Of the United States Consuls in Chill and
has lost by this robbery nearly all his
worldly possession.

The Governors Address.

Governor Geary's address to the people
of Pennsylvania is meeting with very
good reception from men of both parties,
who were not directly interested in the
passage of the Omnibus Rail Road bill,
which would have become law if it had
not been for the faithful use Of the veto
power.
The nature of the Governors address
is an appeal to the people to support the
veto of that Bill, and in order to do so,
he urges upon them the importance of
electing men for the next legislature who
shall be pledged to vote against that
scheme, which is sure to be again brought
forward.
At the time the bill was passed. we
called attention to the outrage that was
about to be perpetrated on the taxpayers
Of the Commonwealth, and admitted to
our columns communications on the sub
iject, so that our readers are we'll posted in
regard to the merits--or rather demerits
Of the measure referred to. We trust
this timely warning of the Governors
will have the desired effect, and cause the
selection Of candidates, by both parties,
who will be pledged to defeat this bill,
should its passage again be attempted

Sunset Cox on COrsets.

l1on' .. .. COX, congressman from the
city of New York, thus objects in the
House against the proposed tax on cor
sets. Ladies reward him:
There is a bill before the House of Rep
rcsentatives, reported by Messrs. Schenck
Kelley, Blair, Mccarthy, Hooper and
Maynard, to impose Il national tax on
corsets and hoop skirts. Against this
tax the free women of America sho uld
promptly protest. Is there to be moth
ing too sacred for the searching hand of
the tax-gatherer ? Is there no limit to the
Assessor?
Did the committee who reported this
know what they were doing? Did Gen.
Schenck intend to direct the Commission
er Of Customs and his deputies to thrust
hand into every gentle bosom and gath
er "a tax thereIrom? Did he not know
this was reverse of all the best laws OF
mankind in every age and in every
cline?
Did any member Of that committee
not raised ON bottle-willingly propose
w OollCCO Julo ut CutOTtW JdA Ill ulSUGICIS
rendered dear to human memory since
Eve nursed her first born, or Winnie Ream
shaped the bust Of Helen?
Are there no men in Congress who
will lift their voices in favor Of the un-
taxed corsets, and untaxed hoops?
Will the gentlemen from Onondaga
Mr.. Mccarthy, in his zeal to protect
salt, impose this tax on the great dairies
Of nature? Will the great champions OF
American labor and production vote for
this bill to encircle with specific and
cd UdIorcn, taxes the infant manufacto-
ries Of the land
1t will not do to say that the House is
not aware that corsets and hoops are OF
universal use. Members know that the
Treasury Department can furnish all
needed information on this subject.
The women Of America have no rep
resentation, and they have right to
protest against this unprecedented taxa
ton. They have submitted to be taxed
upon their shawls, hats and feathers, and
every bit of lace and ribbon, but there is
limit :oeven female submission. Around
the sanctity Of their corsets they will
draw the line.
Let the woman's conventions take ac-
ton. Let them add to the demand for
the ballot the cry Of 8 free coraets, free
hoops!' and, until they gain the latter
let the men who vote this tax be denied
all knowledge Of female habiliments, save
what they get from the clothes-lines.

Dsg~ An exchange says, the Treasury
Department is now tryinga plan that is
expected to render counterleiting the
currency almost impossible. 1t consists
OF covering the face Of the bank bill with
printing so finely executed that counter
feters cannot afford to copy it. In one
case one word is repeated thirty-two
thousand times"
This is good idea for all person
need do is to count the word and if it falls
short of the requisite thirty-two thousand
Of course the bill is bad, and will be re-
fused.

a small dealer named Kuth, resided in
the Strasse Sebastian, with his wife and
four children, whose ages ranged from
10 to Is. A few days back a relative of
the family received a letter from the ell
dest sou, written III such terms as to fore
shadow !. catastrophe. The persons to
whom the communication had been ad-
dressed, went and informed the police OF
his fears, and an entry into the house was
effected, but too late to prevent the trag-
edy which had been consummated. The
mother and four children were lying on
bed dead from strangulation, and the
father was hanging by the neck be hind
the door. According to the letter Of the
son the entire family had consented to
die together, but the motive for such a
resolution remains a mystery.

feel as though a personal friend had been
called away.
At the time of his death, he was en-

The PRICE OF WHEAT is subject in

The PRICE OF WHEAT is subject in
which this community is deeply Interested
The year past the price has been so low
as to make farming losing business. -
The present prospect is however much
brighter for our farmers, as while there is
every indication Of large crop in this
country, the foreign demand is largely on
the increase The reason for this seems
to be, the prospect of a very short crop
in many parts Of Europe, and particularly
France, caused by the long continued
drouth, and the season is now so far ad-
vanced that even a change in the weather
couldnot be ofmuch advantage to the crop.
The consequence is, this country will be
called upon to fill the deficiency. Already
large orders have been received from Eu-
rope, and the advance in price has been
quite decided, while the market is firm,
with prospects Of further advance.
