TILToN & BEEcHER.-Last week
the name of Theodore Tilton was
stricken from the roll of members of
Plymouth (Henry Ward Beec her's)
Church, Brooklyn. Tilton was pres
snt and denied the authority of the
Church in his case owing to the fact
that for four years previously ne had
not attended a meeting at Plymouth
Church and was not a member. Mr..
Beecher said that he did not belle 70
Mr.. Tilton desired in any way to shirk
bis responsibility, or to avoid or evade
any proper charge to be made against
him, and that he had no charges to
make against Mr.. Tilton.
Theodore Tllton, in conversation
with reporter, said he regarded the
statement that he had been expelled
from membership of Plymouth Church
as defamatory and false. Two points
lie wished all mankind to understand !:
First that he had never spoken against
Henry Ward Beeeher, and, second
that he had not been expelled from
Plymouth Church.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.

At a meeting of the Senate Com
mittee on transportation held some
two weeks ago in New York, a pam
phlet was submitted by Mr.. R. A.
Chesebrough, of New York, setting
forth the matter of keeping canals
open for navigation during the winter
season through the agency of artificial
heat, by which means transportation
would be facilitated aud cheapened.
The object OF the improvement
which this paper of Mr.. Cheseborough
proposed was to double the canal season
by preventing the canals from freezing,
and it was proved that the compare
tive cost of the fuel would be small,
and that the heat may be evenly dis
tributed over the surface of the water.
Could this be accomplished it would
doubtless revolutioni1e the present eys-
TEN of transportation and greatly re-
dound to the interest Of the producers
Of the west by opening upa means Of
carrying produce to the seaboard at
. reasonable cost during the entire
year. The development of Mr.. CHEESE
brough's plan will be watched by
the entire country with some degree
Of interest.

TINE American Base Burner is consider
ed the best Coal Stove for general
use now in market, and gives universal
satisfaction.
We wish to call the particular attention of
the public to the following peculiarltieS OF
our stoves, in y hich they differ from all
others:
1st. The Funnel Top which is so con-
structed that all tendency Of gas to escape
INTO the room when the tep of the Stove is
open, is completely prevented
Cd. The Magazine, or Feeder. is adjusti-
bic at the top, can be raised or lowered by
this means the quantity Of coal on combus-
ton can be increased or dimis he'd at pleas
| ure, accommodating the Stove to different
| sizes OF coal, or suitiRs 1t to the varying
temperature of the weather.
Sd. The Revertlb.e hues within the
walls of the Stove completely surrounding
| the Fire Pot, to receive the products of COM
bust1on and conduct them to the
base Of the Stove are very important
features in the operations, and equal dis
tribution Of the heat IN all directions from
the stove. Very great Importance ia attach
ed to this feature in The American, is
as it has been the subject of patent suit
three years pending in the United States
Court, and lately decidedin our favor. We
feel, in justice to ourselves, to caution all
parties who are inclined to infringe this
construction of flues, to refrain from SO
doing. as We shall hold all infringemenls to
q strict account

shaken, makes no dust, will free the fire
from clinhers, can be dumped if necessary
and retain the fire.

HEALTHY.-A New York dispatch
says that the export trade was never
in better condition than at present; at
least all steamers leaving Fare loaded
to their utmost capacity, and rates were
never higher than now. The import
trade has fallen away to almost nothing,
and steamers arriving are often but
half full. This falling off is especial
ly noticeable in amount of dry goods
import.

A Whole Family Murdered Shocking
Butchery.

BELFAST, NAME June lG.-At daybreak
this morning Almon Gordon, a farmer living
near Thorndke State, and his wife and young
est daughter were found murdered in one bed
and little son, six years old, who slept in
the crib in the same room, was fearfully
wounded, and the house set on fire.
All the bodies were much mutilated.
bloody axe, with which the slaughter was
done, was found near Mt hand.
A younger brother of the murdered man is
now under arrest charged with the crime
The alleged cause of the triple murder was
dispute about some property. The suspected
man appears perfectly calm and manifests no
anxiety.
The following additional particulars of the
Thorndike murder have been ELECTED
John Gordon, seventy years OF age, had re-
Gently conveyed to his son Almon his farm,
worth SIS, 900, taking back a mortgage for life
for the support of himself and wife. Another
son, John I =, was dissatisfe with the ar range
ment, and probably thought by the death of
his brother and family the property would fall
to him. This is the only motive thus far as
signed. At the time of the murder the old
people were absent on a visit. The inmates
of the house were the murdered man, Almon
NJ, aged twenty-five years. Emma A, his
wife, aged twenty-five; their children, Ira B :,
aged six /; little girl aged seventeen months
Anna, niece, aged nine; John, aged seven
the brother, and hired man. About three
o o'clock, A. NJ, the latter was awakened by
shrieks of the little boy, and he Immediately
discovered the house was on Ere. He informed
the neighbors, and the flames were extin-
guished without much damage. The bodies
Of the father, mother and infant, who occu-
Fpied the same room, were soon found, man
gled and so scorched as to be hardly recogni-
Fable. The little boy, who slept in crib in
the same room, was severely wounded but
may survive. rhe bloody deed was evidently
committed with an axe which was found on
the premises. The wounds of the three muir
dered persons were inflicted on the head, and
must have caused instant death. The brother,
John s., was soon arrested He is a farm Ia
borer and unmarried. He maintains sulen
indifference, refusing to answer any questions,
saying that at the proper time he will defend
himself The Coroner held an inquest this af-
ternoon, but verdict had not been rendered
when the last train left Thorndike at 6:30 p
NJ. The prisoner will probably be arraigned
before the Police Court tO-mOrrow

her desolation. Our country's record has been
stained by bitter, cruel civil war, that was
precipitated upon us by feud and strife occa-
stoned by the teachings of politicians. If we,
whose welfare has always been so closely twi-
ned together, could have been left to settle the
differences between ourselves, the din of breth-
rem engaged in deadly war would never have
been heard in our once happy land. The homes
of the South would have remained uncharred
10 be blessed with peace and plenty, and the
blood of a million men would not have water
ed her fields with human gore.
We cannot call back the past by brooding
over its intervening wrongs. We are now in
n transition state. Socially as well ms politi-
cally, everything is unsettled, and as yet there
is no intelligent plan of progress-no practical
principles agreed on for building up prosperi-
~. The South, staggered by the shock of the
tempest that SO fearfully swept over her, there
yet fingers an apathy that is slow to realize
the terrible truth Of the ruin-and that para
lyzes every effort for concert Of action. She
must learn, first Of all, that disaster is not OF
necessity the herald ofdespair. The very ruins
will give material for the builder, and the
ground has other uses than for graves. If she
would become great nation she must consent
to the changes that have come aud direct to
advantage those tina, will rapidly follow. The
few who have been able to comprehend the
situation and act upon it, are to-day realizing
larger profits than at any former period of
their lives, and in proportion to the rapidty
with which we wisely follow them will be the
return of general prosperity.
Let us take courage and dash back the bit
ter tears of sorrow for fallen kindred, resolv-
ing to build up again the fraternal feelings in
the hearts of our own class, that we may profit
by the bitter lessons taught US, by cultivating
such a bond of union as no future strife can
interfere to sever. This state of feeling is our
most sincere desire. We wish a union and
fraternal alliance between the tillers of the
soil from every quarter of the land. If such a
great and beneficial result can be secured,
many of our present political schemers will be
buried in the grave of oblivion, to be remem-
bcred only as objects of public distrust.
