Youthful Murderers.

At Steubeuville, Ohio, on Monday last,
two pauper children, inmates of the Coun-
ty ln6rmary, repaired to the orchard at
tached to the Iufirmary building aud dug a
hole. After effectiog this part of the dia-
boical act, two little 6ends, whose ages are
respectively FIVE and nine years, caught
Willie Murphy, aged five years, reel-fO
ed child that had been deserted by his
mother, and carried him to his living grave
Sbriekiug, yet without the power of being
heard, the little victim was caught by the
young executioners and forced into the
hole. Holding him down, they shovelcd
IN lhe earth aud stones upon his writhing
body, sitting his cries as best they could
until the poor deformed body ceased to
struggle, and the spirit took its flight to
Him who gave it. The young murderers
wen; back to the house without informing
any one of the deed, and the buried boy
absence was first noticed by Mr.. Porter
tue superintendent. Upon making inquir-
les, little black boy Informed him that
the two boys had "buried 'Limpy' down in
the hollow" Ga going to the spot Mr..
Porter found the newly made grave, aud
below the surface the lifeless form of little
"Limpy." Upon being Intercepted as to
the cause which led them to kill the child,
the youthful murderers replied that she
was ugly and frightened them.

Observation-Disclosures who are not
advanced to the different branches as
they become due them, seldom take
much interest in school or study after
wards. The discipline of the mind
should be commenced early to be ef-
fective, and ought to have made some
considerable progress before the pas
sions of maturer years have commenced
to assert their sway, otherwise the ed
ucation of the child will most likely
prove failure. If pupils are per-
mitted to drift along with little or
nothing to do in school room until
they are ten or twelve years Of age
they are then seldom willing to COM
mence the work of discipling the pow
ers of the mind, yet how frequently
it is our unpleasant duty to witness
such condition in the schools. In
view of the above we submit the fol-
lowing statistics for theyear 1871 and

A WONDERFUL STORY.

It is said that in the tombs of the Ne
croplis of ancient Egypt two kinds of
mummies have been found. One is in
complete-that is to say, all organs nee
essary for life have been separated from
them; the other, on the contrary, is
quite complete. Having observed this
Swedish chemist, DR. Grusselbach has
come to the conclusion that the Egyp-
tian mummies are not ALL as has been
said and believed for some thousands of
years, embalmed by any process of pres
ervation whatever, but that they are
really the bodies of individuals whose
life has been momentarily suspended,
with the intention of restoring them at
some future time, only the secret of
preservation has now been lost. Mean
while Professor Gusselbach adduces
many proofs in support Of his idea;
among Others his experiments daring the
last ten years, which he says have al
ways proved successful. He took a
snake and treated it in such manner as
to benumb it as though it had been carved
into marble, and it was so brittle that
had be allowed it to fall. it would have
broken into fragments. In this state he
has kept 1t for one or several years, and
then restored it to life by sprinkling
it with stimulating fuid, the compost
ton of which is his secret. For fifteen
years the snake has been undergoing an
existence composed of successive deaths
and resurrections apparently without
sustaining any harm The Professor is
reported to have sent petition to his
Government, requesting that criminal
who had been condemned to death NAV
be given to him, to be tried in the same
manner as the snake, promising to re-
store him to life in two years. 1t is un-
derstood that the man who undergoes
this experiment is to be pardoned.-
Whether the Swedish government has
accepted OF rejected the learned chemists
proposal is not known.-Er.

sia.
Countess perwentwater, of Cumber-
land, Eng land, was passenger on the
Russia, which left New York on Friday
for Liverpool. Judging from her man
ners, her dress and her baggage. the
high born lady was remarkably eccen-
tric woman. Her weight must have been
fully one hundred and sixty pounds -
Her hair was of bright red, and hung
in negligent folds over pair OF broad
shoulders, which were covered with a
heavy white silk toga. Underneath this
was an overskirt of gold braid, white
cashmere and yellow velvet. resembling
very much Pontifcal robe. The bot
tom OF this. as we'll as that of the under
skirt, was hung with point Valencieness
lace, cut in imperial figures. Her aristo-
cratic feet and hands were encased in
white kid. The right wrist was bound
by a silver band. from which clung a
cambria handkerchief. Her wonderful
hair was topped with bonnet of maroon
velvet, cut bias, the ribbons looped under
the chin Ia Queen Bess. In this &C.
centric costume she batted her way up
and down the Cunard dock, giving orders
to the careless laborers who had already
commenced to drag the cherished effects.

The OLDEST iNHABITANT.-A few
days ago at Kansas City, Mo-, there died
the Oldest man on the Western Con-
tinept. As near as can be estimated his
age was one hundred and tweniy-four
years. For three-qnarters of century
this remarkable man lived West of the
Mississippi. Jacques Tournier, or
'Pno" as he was more commonly called,
came originally from Canada, and related
to numerous visitors particulars of the
death OF General Montgomery, who fell
before Quebec, in l777. When Gen.
jackson called for defenders against the
British legious preparing to attack New
offer his services, but was refused on ac-
count of his old age Although more
than half a century past, the old man
thought this the worst rebuilt OF his life.

Lewis over the Continent we hnd him
engaged as guide and hunter. s .-4r

EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP IN A
COAL MINE. r.r
SEVENTEEN MEN SUFFOCATED

At Pittston. on the morning of Ang.
14ih about s o'clock. fire damp explo-
sion occurred at the East shaft at that
place. Seventeen men were in this mine
all of whom were killed. The work of
rescuing the men who were in the mine,
which was commenced Immediately after
it had become generally known that an
explosion had taken place, was pursued
during the whole of the following night
with unremitting vigor. After the mine
had been cleared and better ventilation
had been secured the search for the re
naming twelve men was continued by
miners acquainted with the shaft and
several other volunteers. About twelve
o'clock party went down and succeeded,
aided by current of fresh air which had
been let into the mine, in finding eight of
the men, all of whom were dead when
brought to the tor
The scene when these were being
brought up. and before the large number
of people who were assembled became
aware that they were all dead, was in
ceed terrible to behold. Despair seemed
to be settled on every face, and almost
every one present feared to hear the
dread intelligence that not one life had
been saved. The spectators were also
horror stricken at the appearance of the
victims, who, in most cases, were badly
bruised, and presented swollen appear
ance, thus indicating that an explosion
had undoubtedly taken place. About
o'clock the next morning the rest Of
the bodies were found, with not spark
of life remaining in them.
There are several opinions as to the
cause of the disaster. some thinking that
no explosion occurred at all, while the
prevailing idea is that there was fall of
rocks, caused by the poor supports used
in the mine. The most probable theory.
however, is that an explosion of fire.
damp did take place, and that the props
and hrattices which supported the root
were broken and swept to the ground,
owing to their weakness. Nothing can
at at present be known as to the cause, as
all of the men who were witnesses of
the disaster are now dead and the mys-
terry may never be unravelled, unless by
the coroner's investigation, or on the in
specsion of the mine by experts, which
will be Immediately had.
The following are the names of the
seventeen victims, all of whom are dead,
leaving none to tell the agonizing tale ::

One of the few bills now under considera-
ton in the Legislature which is worthy of
adoption embodies plan for a new geologi-
cal survey of the Commonwealth This is a
measure of real Importance, which would
quickly repay a hundred-fold the compare
lively small expense attending it. Within a
comparatively few years many of the pro-
gressive States have ordered geological sur
veys, and nowhere would such an investiga-
tion be more Immediately and extensively
useful and beneficial than in this great deposit
of inexhaustible stores of coal, iron, and oil.

been carried to undue limits, that corruptio n
still abounded, and that, if the able bodied
white taxpayer did not quickly begin to look
after his interests, he would soon have no in
terests left worth looking after, voted with
the Democracy for the first time in their
lives.
Despite these dissatisfactions, there is still
time left to rally the Republican party for the
Presidential campaign of 1872 if wise,
vigorous, prudent, and just measures are
speedily adopted. No time is to be lost, how
ever. Since the tyros of politiois can now
plainly see how easily the power of great
party can be frittered away, some Of its cool
heads and brave hearts should still be able to
replace the benighted wanderers on the high
WAY to victory.

mis- and r. JIG. Walker, two of the proposed
personal-tax commissioners, have, however,
actually appeared before the Com mittee
on Municipal Corporations of the House of Re-
representatives. as the advocates for the passage
of their bill. 1t is difficult to characterize
such proceeding in proper terms, but it is
tolerably evident that the gentlemen named
are entirely too anxious to assume the duties,
responsibilities-may we say perquisites2-of
commissioners, and the Legislature will do we'll
to limit them, so far as is in its power, to
the comparatively humble spheres which they
now occupy.

happened through the negligence of the
