pared to respond literally to the demand
for snccor. Other communities arc mo-
wing in the matter, and our county and
city should not be backward in tho good
work. Times arc hard, but Providence
has blessed us with an abundance to cat,
and surely we will not turn deaf ear to
the plea of the starving and naked pio-
nccrs. We suggest that some of our
benevolent and public spirited citizens
move tor an organized effort to collect
and send generous donation from our
county.
In this connection We NOTICE in tho
Conservative of this week communica-
ton from A. J. Barnhart, who in his
character Of County Agent Of the
Oranges, calls upon the members Of that
order in this county to contribute each
his II tie to the benevolent purpose Of re-
lciying their needy brethren in the north
western counties. His proposition is that
each Patron of the 1440 in the county
donate fifteen cents, which in the aggre.
gate would be $216, constituting a very
liberal and appropriate contribution,
The suggestion is a worthy one, and we
hope it will be acted upon promptly. Al
though Mr. Barnhart deems it necessary
to issue his appeal only through the pa
per with which he is politically affiliated,
we deem it 60 appropriate and timely,
that .wo give. this synopsis Of 1t on our
own responsibility, for the benefit Of tho
many Patron readers of the BULLETIN.

were twisted off down to the earth.
These are only a few of the heav-
lest losses-enough to show the vi
olence of the tempest and its whole

Many farmers count their loss al
from 800 to $250O.
The orchards particularly have
suffered. In the territory described
there is scarcely one but has it's los

The Inaioiarv System.


The Ohio State journal gives the
following synopsis of the plan of
reorganization of tbe Judiciary sys-
tenn Of the State nov before the
Constitutional Convention.
/ Tho main features of the old system are pre-
served in the new plan. IL provides for the
same number of courts, changing the name OF
| District Courts to that of Circuit Courts. The
Supreme Court Is TO consist of five judges, IA
at present, to hold office for ten, instead of five
years.
The Supreme Judges in Office when the first
new Judges elected under the improved Con-
stitunon, shall be qualified, are TO constitute a
commission TO dispose of such business then
on the docket of the Supreme Court as may
not, by an arrangement between the judges OF
the old and new court, be transferred to the
latter. This com mission may continue three
/ years, if its business be not sooner completed
I The Legislature may, on application Of the
Supreme Court, provide by law for the ap-
pointment by the Governor, with consent OF
the Senate, for a like commission, whose term
must not exceed two years. Such commission
can not be created more than once in ten
| years.
TIE State is to be divided into six Judicial
districts or circuits. of which Hamilton county
| is TO constitute one. For each district three
| Judges are to be elected. The Circuit Court i:
/ 20 consist of any three of these judges, any
! two of which may form a quorum. A Cir
cult Court is to be held In each county at least
| twice a wear. The term of office for Circuit
/ Judges is eight years.
The State is also to be divided into twelve
| Common Pleas districts, the counties o.
| Hamilton and Cuvahoga each constituting
one. With the exception of the Hamilton
county district, three Common Pleas judges
are to be elected in each of these districts
| Courts Of Common Please are to be held by
one or more of the judges in every county a:
may be provided by law. The term of oaic,
for the Common Pleas judges is fixed at sil
| years.
Il is proposed that the Probate Court shal
| remain as at present, except that the term o

A Deed of Blood.

PHILADELPHIA, July IA most
horrible murder almost equalling the
the West Farms tragedy, in Dover,
Delaware, has just come to light.
JennerYille is situated in Penn
Township, Chester County, one mile
north of the line of the Baltimore
Central Railroad. On the Both of
June last, a strange man arrived at
the hotel of the village and took up
his quarters, saying he came from
Baltimore and was an agent, but
gave no name. He was in appear
ance a young man, probably not over
30, with black whiskers.
On the following day, a team,
driven by William E. Udderzook,
stopped at the tavern. Udderzook
asked the agent to take ride. He
accepted the invitation, and they
went away together. The team had
been hired by Udderzook at Parkes-
burg, and when he returned it in the
evening, the person who took charge
of it remarked that tthere was blood
on the wagon. Udderzook made a
plausible explanation of the circum-
stance, and Immediately left the
neighborhood.
The strange man was never after
ward seen alive. Friday last q large
number of buzzards were noticed
lowering about the wood off New
port Il Gray 8 Pike, between Cochran
vile and Penningtonville. InYestiga-
tion showed the head and trunk of a
man and arms and legs detached,
which were recognized as the body
of the stranger who had been stop.
ping at Jennerville.
A Coroner's jury was empanneled,
and a sealed verdict given. The
murdered man was stabbed in three
or four places, his throat cut, and
both arms and legs were severed
close to his body.
Undertook cannot be found He
is, or was until lately on the Police
force. He is young and has red
Whiskers.
The object of the murder was un-
questiOnably plunder. No clothing
was found, except pair of shoes. 1t
is reported that the man was known
to have considerable money on his
person. The severed limbs were
buried in separate spot from the
body, and not far from the house of
one Rhodes, brother-i law of the
supposed murderer.

A New WITNEss.-A new witness
has appeared to testify that Hon.
Schuyler Colfax did not receive the
$1,000 with which he was charged
by Oakes Ames, now dead We do
not believe the people ever doubted
Colfax's statement or seriously
questioned his integrity, but the
statement of this new witness mast
relieve him of any lingering doubt
in regard to that matter. The wit
ness is Mr.. Drew, of Washington,
who had business at the Capitol in
June 1868, and who states that while
waiting MIR. Ames' leisure to attend
to him he, Drew, saw the Sergeant
et-Arms pay the money on the IS.
G. OF bearer" check, to Ames him
self, who walked back toa gentleman
with whom Ames had been talking,
handed the money to him and receiy-
ed from him a written document in
return. Drew did not know the man
nor has he ever seen him since.
Such is Mr. Drew's statement, and
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican
having thrown doubts upon his
statement, he, Drew, writes to that
paper and gives the names of parties
to whom he made the same state
ment while the investigation was go
ing on. When the investigation was
going on Drew was in Europe for
his health, and did not wish to re-
turn at that time, but returning in
March last, he would have made this
statement but relrained in hopes of
discovering the man to whom Ames
paid the money. Not having done
SO he makes the statement now. The
only thing to be regretted is that the
new testimony was not made public
before Ames' death.

BARON REUTER-, the individual who
has made the great contract with the
Shah of Persia, by which he pro-
poses to run his kingdom for him
commercially &c, is a German Jew.
born in 1915, now a naturalized cit
izen ofEngland. About twelve years
ago he inaugurated the system OF
continental correspondence, similar
to the associated press reporters in
this country, and has proven himself
man fgreat enterprise and ability.
His propositions to the Shah en-
braced first the building of a rail
road from the Caspian sea to the
Gulf of Persia, about 300 miles.
The shah felt very kindly disposed
towards the foreigner who under
took to construct so great a work for
Persia, so he granted the Baron not
only the right to construct this road
through Persia, but gave him the ex-
elusive privilege of building all the
railways that may be made in his
dominions for the next seventy years
together with all the land necessary
for lines, and the stone and other
material for construction-for moth
ing, when they belong to the State,
and at market prices when private
property. In addition the Baron is
to have all mines except those yield
ing gold, silver and precious stones,
which are situated on government
land, free of charge, except that the
Shah shall receive fifteen per cent of
the proceeds. The Shah is also to
receive twenty per cent of the profits
arising from the railroads construct
ed. All mines not on government
property, where the owners have not
worked the same for five years, may
be taken by the Baron at the current
price for ordinary lands. In addi-
tion, the government cedes to the
Baron all the government forests
and waste lands for term of fseven-
ty years, he to make the most Of
them, and pay over to the Shah fif
teen per cent. of the profits. Reuter-
has undertaken a big thing, but will
probably be able to manage it, in as
much as he is to receive about 81
per cent. of all profits arising there.
from. The only point of weakness
lies in his ability to hold the Shah
to his ccatract-Shahs are not very
reliable. Reuter- has beaten the
Yankees in getting the contract, but
we think Yankee would have look
ed closer to the securities.

VANDERBILT has been chosen
President of the L. S. d. M. S. r. R.,
and Amassa Stone, of Cleveland
selected as General Manager. The
New York Times of Wednesday
speaks of the Lake Shore Railroad
as being reckoned among the strong
Vanderbilt stocks since the Commo-
dore accepted its Presidency, and
those stocks are all going up togeth-
er, Itssys "Vanderbilts immediate
friends say that he expresses the
utmost faith in the great value and
advance in price of the Lake Shore
property. He has selected a very
able lieutenant in the practical di-
rection of affairs on the line of the
road in Mr.. Amassa Stone, Jr., of
Cleveland, who, with Mr.. Stillman
Witt and others, built the Eastern
end Of the Lake Shore line nearly
twenty years ago, and realized an
immense fortune by the rapid ad-
vance in its value. We presume
that Mr.. Stone has promised Mr..
Vanderbilt much more than the use
of his name as Managing Director.
His active services will also be given
to the work"

''Be wise in time" The
first few hours after an at
tack of Cholera are the pre-
ciOus moments in which, if
the proper remedies are
promptly used, a cure can be
effected in almost every case.
But the old saying that ode
lays are dangerous" is not
more true in any case than
in neglecting to promptly at
tack Cholera when it attacks
you. Now, what everybody
wants is a medicine that they
can rely upon, one in which
they can have perfect conf
dence that should they have
occasion to use it, it will not
disappOint them. Such "a
medicine is the CHOLERA
CORDIAL prepared by @. r.
MCCULLOCH. 1t has been
thoroughly tested. In 1852,
when the Cholera ragged so
fearfully all through our
country, in Sandusky City,
where so many died, it was
the means of saving hun
dreds of lives. A nurse who
was through most of the
Cholera in Sandusky told me
that he never failed to save
a patient with the Cholera
Cordial if taken within three
or four hours of the first at
tack, and thoroughly perse-
veredin. A brother who lived
in Sandusky, and made and
sold thousands of bottles,
says of it: "That with cool
ness and presence of mind,
and the Cordial promptly
used, Cholera need no more
be feared"
i prepare the Cordial after
the original formula, and
scores of families in Fremont
can testify to its reliability
in Cholera MOrbus, and
many a case of Cholera has
been prevented by its timely
use. I feel that the Cholera
is a disease that should not
be trifled with, and that to
palm off upon the public a
medicine that cannot be re-
lied upon, would be leopard
izing the lives of all who
used it, yet I offer this with
confidence, it having been so
thoroughly tried and proved
reliable.

The happiest genius of the season
is that fellow in the postofice who
invented the regulation by which
one can make use of the postal
cards without having his communi-
cations pried into. Carriers are for
hidden to read what is on the cards.
But they are to see that no inprop-
er communications are written there
on. Thus is there perfect security
against the abuse of the new system.
1t was invented in Ireland.
