The knights of Pythins Again.

Court or Common PLedS-Jud1e Allison.
On Saturday an application was made to re.
woke so much of the decree of the Court on the
10th inst. in the case of Metzler VS.. True
Knights Lodge, No. 220, K. of P, which enoins
the defendants not to enforce the pretended
order of the Supreme Lodge requiring the men,
bers to take certain obligation that they will
never join q certain beneficial order known as
the s. P. X.
In support of the application Mr. Edgar NJ.
Chapman, of counsel for True Knights Lodge,
stated that obedience to the decree of the Court,
Metzler, the plaintiff in the bill in equity, had
been restored to his position as an officer of the
lodge; that subsequently, to his reinstatement
charges were preferred against him for having
violated his obligations and disclosed the recent
transactions of his lodge. These charges were
now pending, and the defendant Metzler would
have fair and impartial trial according to the
constitution and bylaws of the lodge.
The application was resisted by counsel for
plaintiff, who endeavored to support their case
by an affidavit of one Leader, who was not q
member of the True Knights Lodge and not a
party interested in these proceedings. Judge
Allison decided that the affidavit was improperly
was not shown that the party making it had any
authority so to do. He further said he never
intended at the time the decree was made to
restrain the Supreme Lodge from enforcing any
constitutional order, as the question was not
brought before him at the hearing last Saturday,
and he would not now pass upon it. He would,
therefore, grant the motion and direct that SO
much of the decree as related to defendants not
enforcing the pretended order of the Supreme
Lodge be revoked, and q decree made accord
inplv.

Accident In the Family Of a PhiladeIphiau-
Delights OF Country Boarding
The Junlata Sentinel says:-Recently NJ Ais
tersville was thrown into the widest econfu-
sion. And no wonder, for the life of child
was in imminent danger. A gentleman a resi-
dent of Philadelphia, and merchant by profess
sion, rather than fake his family to the sea
side, where there is but little else than liam"
and dissipation, unless one owns house there,
chose rather to bring his family up into Lost
Creek valley, and amidst its woods and hills
and fertile fields find recreation, pure and whole
some, both of mind and body. He took rooms
at Mr.. Norths hotel, at MAlistersville. On
the morning above stated a small child
OF his family, while unattended,
wandered into the back yard to
a well, in the centre of which stood a pump,
surrounded by common board covering. The
boards about the stock on the one side had de-
cayed to such a degree that when the child got
on them it fell through. 1t was missed about
this time and looked for. and to the awful hor-
ror of the lady, who peeped into the well, was
seen there on the surface of the water. The cry
of alarm was given. Mr.. North, with great
presence of mind, hastened to the well with a
pole, and put it down and twisted il fast in the
childs clothing, thereby keeping it from sinking
until citizen of the town climbed down the
wall and rescued the little one from drowning.
We learn that the whole town was on the street
about Mr. North's, expressing their sympathy
for the alarmed family. The child received no
injury.

Obituary.
General William t. II. Brooks.

General William T. II, Brooks.
The death of General William 7. H. Brooks
late Of the United States Army, took place on
July 19 near his residence in Huntsville, Ala.
This gentleman and soldier was q native of Ohio
and q graduate OF West Point in the class of
1S41. He performed military service in the
Florida war, in Texas during the military occu-
patton, and in the Mexican war. In the Mexi-
can war he took part in the battles of Palo Alto,
Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Cerro Gordo,
Contreras, Cherubusco, the siege of Vera Cruz,
and the operations before the City of Mexico.
He was appointed Brevet Captain from the date
of September 23 1886 and Brevet Major August
90 1S47 on account of meritorious conduct.
After the close of that war he was on frontier
duty until the late Rebellion, when he Joined
the Army Of the Potomac as Brigadier-
General of Volunteers. He was present
at all the operations of that army until July,
1868, when he became commander of the De-
partment of the Monongahela at the time of
Lees advance into Pennsylvania. While in this
position he took the measures which were in
strumental in the capturing of Morgan's raiders.
In April, 1864, he obtained command of divi-
sion of the 18th Corps, Army of the James and
afterwards of the 10th Army Corps. He was in
all the battles around Petersburg and Richmond.
In July, 1864, he resigned on account of i'll
health, being then Major of the 18th Infantry,
and purchased a plantation near Huntsville,
Ala, where he settled. He had visited few
months ago a medicinal spring for the benefit of
his health, aud receiving no aid from that
source started to return home, from which
place he was about six miles distant when he

tized. The light from candle made out OF the fat
Of stillborn child is without virtue, and as soon
az this was explained to the thief he desisted
from the magical process which he had already
commenced. Once in possession OF a candle made
from the fat OF a baptized infant the thief has "a
course Of unbroken prosperity before him, the only
doulty in his way being that proverbal one OF the
rst step. How is he to get his first candle by which
to steal unperceived his first infant In more ad-
vanced country than Russia 1t would, of course not
be necessary for him to steal the child at all. It
would be sufficient to advertise for It.

an unnecessarily violent and tyrapnical
manner. Judge Paxson very properly
characterized this as an aggravated case,
and on Saturday, when McMullins friends
characterized a fine of $500 as a severe
punishment, the Judge replied that he in
tended to make it severe, and the probabilities
are now that Constable McNTullin will either
find some means of raising the money or else
will remain in the custody of Superintendent
Perkins of the County Prison until he has
had an ample opportunity to study out the
nature of a writ Of habeas corpus While the
officers of the law of all grades should receive
the support not only of the courts, but of all
well-disposed citizens, when they are engaged
in the execution of their duty, the
disposition with many men clothed
in little brief authority" to
carry things with high hand, aud to be
law unto themselves, should be promptly and
decidedly checked. That the oonstables and
other officers are often unnecessarily violent
and overbearing in their manners, many of
our citizens are well aware, and acts of
tyranny are frequently submitted to in silence
because of the difficulty and annoyance that
an appeal for justice would occasion. When
an officer, however, undertakes to refuse obe-
dience to writ of habeas corpus, and to
insult the court that issues it, it is high time
that he is instructed in regard to the nature
of his responsibilities. The probabilities are
that when Constable McDIullin comes out of
Moyamensing he will be a wiser if not bet
ter man.

REAR-ADMLRAL DAHLGREN0.S I'm.
DICATION

DICAl LO1f.
WE invite the attention of our readers to the
very interesting account of the naval opera
tons against Morris Island, S. c., Fort Wag-
ner, and Fort Sumter, from the pen of the
late Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren, which
we publish to-day. In consequence of the
great success of Hamersleys "Records of the
Living Officers of the Navy" it was deter
mined to issue new and enlarged edition,
and Mr.. Hamersley wrote to number of the
leading naval officers for their opinions on
disputed questions. Rear-Admiral Dahlgren
was one of those applied to- and he was re-
quested to give his version of the difficulty
between himself and Brigadier- General
Quincy A. Gilmore. The Admiral accord.
ingly prepared a sketch of the operations
of the South Atlantic squadron while it was
under his command, and with the permission
of Mr.. Hamersley we have quoted from his
manuscript those portions that relate particu-
larly to the cooperative movements of the
army and navy in Charleston harbor The
quarrel between General Gilmore and Ad-
miral Dahlgren was one of the scandals of
the late war, and up to the day of his death
Dahlgren rested under the imputation that he
was toldis iuCohpoteut as d COulHltuuor Oh
forces in the face OF the enemy. Whether
the story he tells will remove this imputation
we leave for those versed in military and
naval tactics to decide, but he certainly
makes out a strong case for himself,
and retorts upon General Gill
more the charge of incompetency
with considerable acerbity. If Admiral
Dahlgren was in the right and Gilmore in
the wrong during the contest before Charles
ton, the people of the country have right to
know the fact and the Admiral's vindication
of himself is important, particularly in view of
the fact that it was prepared for publication
but short time previous to his death, and
was evidently intended as challenge to his
calumniators to discuss the subject in all its
bearings, now that the war has been con-
cluded and the events sufficiently remote to
ensure calm and dispassionate Judgment on
the part of the public.

IT Is sincerely to be hoped that no effort
will be spared to bring to justice all the
scoundrels implicated in the outrageous as
sault on young lady few nights ago on
South Broad street. Three of the ruffians
were identified on Friday by their victim, and
two more arrests were made on Saturday. If
these should be recognized as participants in
the assault, there will remain but two men,
bers of the gang still at large. No pains
ought to be spared to secure them also, and
the course of justice should be swift and
merciless. There appears to be no doubt
whatever that the three men ar
rested on Friday are guilty, and
prompt trial and the full penalty of the law
should be meted out to them. There has
been frightful increase of rufianism in some
sections of the city of late, and it is time that
the strong arm of the law was inter-
posed for the protection of orderly citizens.
The case under consideration was of such
particularly outrageous character that the
severest punishment permitted by our too
merciful laws will be insufficient to satisfy
outraged justice, and no bubbles of counsel
or pleas for mercy must be allowed to stand
between the guilty ones and the direst penalty
that the Court is able to impose upon them.
BELIEVERS in the devoutness and Arcadian sim
phcity of the Russian peasant will be shocked by
story OF Russian peasant life told by the Exchange
Gazette of st. Petersburg. Eugenia Chubakoya
having been brought to bed OF a stilborn child put
it away in a large box, which the experienc ed
women Of the village had told her was the proper
thing, under the circumstances to do.
Two days afterwards she raised the lid
OF the box to what had become OF
the child, found that 1t had disappeared
and concluded that the "Domoyoi," or Spirit OF the
House. had carried it away Chubakoh, the hus-
band, and the wise woman who had assisted at the
delivery were of opinion that the Demovo had
taken possession OF the body, and it was resolved
keep the whole affair profound secret. A month
afterwards, however, in the course OF family quar-
rel before witnesses, it out that Eugenia Chu-
bakova had given birth to an infant, and that the
Spirit OF the House lad down away with it. The
| local authorities heard the story and insti-
| tuted a, search, the result OF which was
| that a village thief named Nassli was
proved to have stolen the missing body and, acting
under the advice of wizard, to have fried it, in or
der that out OF the fat which fell from 1t he might
make a talsmanic candle to assist him in the pur-
suit OF his profession. By the light OF the candles
made from the fat Of fried baby thief may steal
as much as he likes without fear of discovery; but

CONSTABLE McKULLIN.S TROUBLE.
OK Saturday the friends of Constable McMul-
lin, who was consigned to the County Prison
a few days ago by Judge Paxson for contempt
of court in refusing to obey writ of habeas
corpus, endeavored to procure his release,
but the Judge was firm in his determination
that the offending officer should suffer suit
able punishment for his outrageous behavior.
McMullin, it will be remembered not only
refused to obey the writ, but he used con-
siderable bad language which had personal
reference to the Judge, and in addition to
this offense he treated his prisoner in

ABOUT PoTAToEs. little discussion
has been inculged in by writer's in the yari-
Gus agricultural journals respecting the pro-
per time to- dig aud the proper way to care
for potatoes after they are dug. Our opinion
with regard to digging is that when the
vines arc dead, if this occurs before the frost
kills them, the sooner the potatoes are dug,
TIE better. They are then supposed to be
ripe, and after potato is ripe, if allowed to
remain ia wet earth its quality is harmed.
]f The vines are killed by the frost before the
tuber is ripe, we should let them remain in
the gronnd as long as the frost will allow
with entire safety. Potatoes ripen if they do
not grow, after the vines are thus DESTROYED
As to subs, queut care, the mode adopted
by the best growers is 10 put them immedi-
htely in cool, dry cellar, in bias raised
about six inches from the ground. and not
over three or four feet wide, with slat- bot
toms and sides. so that the air can circulate
freely through the mass
In this way, unless they are poisoned,
before putting in the cellar, potatoes can be
keptsfrom August to April.
Speaking of the Early Rose, correspond
ent has recently dug several hundred bushels
which yielded enormously, which he propo-
ses to Keep till next May before marketing
Later varieties on the same farm will not
be worth digging.
The crop Of late potatoes all over the
Eastern States will be almost a complete
failure, and IN his opinion the crop will be
unprecedentedly high all over the country
when the coming spring opens.
