The Gain Of Electing Greeley.

The Hon. Horatlo Seymour, the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in opposition to
Grant four years since, in letter TO Hon. S.
S. Cox, member Of Congress from Now York,
says;
"Mr. Greelays election will be pyosorvs-
tive step toward local neighborhoOd govern
mont, and will stop the course Of oveEbeaFing
Federalism. We can have Democratic princi-
pies in some measure by acceding to the great
revolution in his favor which is sweeping over
the country. In this State it is irresistible
! have not been on personal terms with Mr..
Greeley for some time, but there is wisdom and
hoagtiness in the popular movement to support
him recognize in the sympathy between
himself and the voting masses an element
stronger than talent or fitness. He has the
talent and fitness to suit the temper Of the
times"

A Bloody and Fatal Afray--Two
Men Killed.

On Friday evening last just before night, a
difficulty occurred on Heaters Island, about
ten miles from Leesburg, between Mr.. Mason
Appel and Mr.. F. II. Heater, which resulted
fatally to both the combatants. An old quar-
rel it seems, the exact nature Of which we
have been unable to ascertain, had existed be-
tween them for some tine. On the evening
III question, they met in the corn field, and re-
newed the dispute, but as the hands in the
field were some distance from them, it is not
known who originated the trouble-all that is
known is that the ARRAY was short and the re-
suit fatal to both parties Both used ordinary
pocket knives, and neither seemed to have re-
ceived more than one or two blows. Appel
was stabbed in the left side, the blade Of the
knife penetrating the heart Of course he died
almost instantly Heater had two cuts, a
slight one on the shoulder, and another fear
ful one in tie right side-just below the ribs,
and extending upwards ;-seyering two ribs,
opening the stomach, and touching the right
lung. lie fingered until about six o'clock
Saturday morning, when he too followed his
victim into tie unknown land. Both were
buried on Sunday. Both the unfortunate men
were comparatively yOuug-tLey were indus
trio,s Thrifty farmers, and generally esteemed
by those who knew them, while one Of them,
Heater, leaves a wife and two little children
Heaters brother, who lives close by the bloody
scene, is the husband Of Appclls sister, aud
the sad tragedy is deeply lamented in the
neigLborhood. It must have been q struggle
between two determined natures, as it is not
often that both parties to a fight accompany
each other to the grave.-LeesJury Mirror.

No deficiency has been more sonsibly felt
by persons travelling to OF from this section Of
the country than the want OF comfortable
stopping place at IIarper's Ferry This want
has actually operated as c arrangement Of
business, at times, and has subjected our peo-
pie very often to great inconvenience. 4 hO-
tel at IIarper's Ferry, properly conducted,
enables many persons to be in Hagerstown at

away until the arrival Of the afternoon train.

now removed by the opening Of the " Noun

A Great Outrage.

The Rerielc Of Criminal Statistics, a peri
odical in the French language, published in
Brussels, states that ffty-nins criminals weEo
pardoued out Of German poniientiaries during
the year 1871, on condition that they should
exile themselves 70 the United States TIE
list includes twenty mu-dereTs, eight !ncendia-
ries, eight fsrgers, three burglars. three shop
lifters, five swiud.eEs, two infanticides, and two
medical practitioners Of the ROsenzweig kind.
Thirteen were sent from Bavaria, eight from
Baden, thirteen from the two Mecklenburgs,
and the rest from other States.
This is az appalling statement more particu-
larry as to the number of incendiaries, than
which no class Of criminals is more incorrigi-
ble. The subject should receive the attention
of Congress which ought to impose q heavy
tariff upon all scsundrelism that may come
into competition with..the native prOductiOn.-

s. NoWILAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP

It is said of the late John Quincy Adams that he
never went to bed without repeating this litdc
prayer, the first taught him by his mother whose
memory was so dear to him to the last.
Golden head so lowly bonding,
Little feet so white and bare,
Dewy eyes, half shut half opened,
Lisping out her evening prayer.
"Now ay,"-repeatit darling
clay me, lisped the tiny lips
Ofmy daughter, kneeling bending
O'er the folded finger tips.
"Down TO sleep, ,v-"To Sleep" she murmured,
And the curly head bent low
81 pray the Lord, ,"-IRently added,
You can say it all know.
"Pray the Lord, the sound came family,
Fainter still" Ny soul to keep :"
Then the tired heart fairly nodded,
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes halfopened
When / clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered,
Mamma, God knows all the rest"
0, the rapture, sweet, unbroken,
OF the soul who wrote that prayer
Children's myriad voices floating
Up to Heaven, record it there.
II, of all that has been written,
| could choose what might be mine,
1t should be that child's petition,
Rising 20 the thrCno divine.

FORTY THOUSAND ROUMANIAN AND CoNTI-
MENTAL IsRAELITEs PROPOSE KMIGRArISG
TO AMERICA.
A letter has been received at the General
Land Office setting forth that movement is on
foot By the Isrseltes OF Europe in the matter of
settling a colony OF ROumsnisn and Continental
jews in America. II appears that there Is a
company formed possessing paid up capital OF
Il 500 coo, who contemplate settling in this
cOuDtry-SOme 5000 families, comprising 400 %
persons-and the question Is presented TO the
General Land Office whether the United States
government will extend to the company title
to tract Of land say 2j0 goo acres, for this
purpose, on condition that so many families
should be located annually, il being the desire
TO have but one settlement. In reference to
the subject, Mr.. ". W. Curtis, the acting Com
missioner, replies that there is no law providing
for the disposal of public lands in the manner
proposed, even if a compact body of land COM
prising such an area could be found,
but shows how title may be acquire a
by the heads of these families under
existing laws, and furnishes the writer with the
necessary circulars relative to the public lands
OF the United States. The frequent calls from
Europe and elsewhere for large bodies Of land
for the purpose of founding colonies would indi-
cate that special legislation is desirable, TO fur
Their such enterprises.
