A Baby AocIdentaIIr Hangs itself.

In Pottstown, the other afternoon, oc-
CURED very sad event. George scheetz,
with his wife and children, reside in Van
BuskirlS's addition, and are much respect
ed people. They had four children, three
little boys and one girl, the latter being
only eleven months old.
About2 Q O'Clock Mrs. Scheetz put her in.
FAINT baby, Jennie, to bed, and then return
ed down stairs to her work. The bed on
which the baby lay had slat bottom, and
the bed clothes were too short to reach to
the foot end. Between the last slat and
the foot-board there was space of almost
four inches. The baby became restless
during its sleep and rolled from the head
Of the bed to the foot end and its body fell
between the slat and the foot-board, its
head not going through.
The chin rested on the slat. In this con-
dition the mothers precious little treasure
remained until the messenger, Death,
brought relief to her sufferings. 1t is sup
posed she lived after the fatal fall about
forty-tive minutes. From the floor to the
bottom of the bed it was 144 inches, so that
her feet rested on the floor, which no doubt
prolonged her life and sufTerings.
Shortly after five o'clock Mrs. Scheets
went up stairs to bring little Jennie down,
when the horrible sight met her vision
With screams that were heard for dis.
tance she snatched up the cold body of her
baby and rushed down stairs, exclaimina
to her mother, Mrs. Meta Lessig, who was
in the kitchen, "My baby is dead"
The news soon spread over the town,
and many sympathizing friends called
The grief Of the mother cannot be describ.
ed. Both Mrs. Selects and her mother,
Mrs. Lessig, had about o'clock heard a
humping noise, which they thought was
some horses stamping with their feet next
door, where bricks were being hauled for a
new house. This, is now thought, was the
feet of the little baby dangling on and
striking the floor.

The FavOrite Home Remedy,
PAIN * IlLLER,

Has been before the public over Thirty Years. and
probably has wider and better reputation than
any other proprietary medicine of the present day,
At this period there are but few unacquainted
with the merits Of the PAIN-KILLER but, while
some extol it as a lniment they know but little of
its power in easing pain when taken internally;
while others use 1t internally with great success,
but are equally ignorant of its healing virtues
when applied externally. We therefore wish to
say to all, that it is equally successful whether
used internally or externally. It is sufficient evil
dence of its virtues as standard medicine to
know that it is now used in all parts OF the world,
and that its sale is constantly increasing. No Gu
ratve agent has had such a widespread sale or
given such universal satisfaction.
DAVIS PAIN-KILLER IS a purely vegetable
compound, prepared from the best and purest
materials, and with a care hatinsures the most
perfect uniformity in the medicine; and while il
is most effective remedy for pain, it Is perfect
y safe medicine even in the most unskilful hands.
1t is eminenty Family Medicine and by being
kept ready for immediate resort, will save many
an hour of suffering, and many dollar in time
and doctors bills.
After over thirty years trial. 1t Is still receiving
the most unqualified testimonials to its virtues,
from persons Of the highest character and respon-
sibillty. Eminent Physicians commend il as a
most eifeetual preparati on for the extinction OF
pain. 1t is not only the best remedy ever known
for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &C., but for Dysentery,
or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint, it is
remedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and rapldity Of
action. In the great cities Of India, and other hot
climates, Ii has become the standard medicine for
all such complaints, as we'll as for Dyspepsia
Liver Complaints, and all other kindred disorders.
For Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, and
Rheumatic difficulties, It has been proved by the

A Democratic Convention was held in
Pittsburg, on Wednesday and Thursday
last, and resulted in the nomination of the
following ticket = For Supreme Judge,
Hon. Warren ]. Woodward, of Berks
county, and President Judge of that dis
trict was nominated on the sixth ballot.
For Lieutenant Governor, Hon. John Latta,
of Westmoreland county, was nominated
on the fifth ballot. For Auditor General,
Justus F. Temple, of Green county, received
the nomination, and for Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, Gen. VIM. McCandess, of
Philadelphia, was nominated.
The Convention passed a series Of reso-
lutions composed mostly of generalities,
though the sixth resolution does come out
squarely against the Civil Rights Bill.
Both parties have now placed their State
tickets before the people, and erected the
platforms upon which they ask the candi-
date to stand. We hope the result of the
election in November, will show that the
best men are endorsed by the voters

A Detroit Station House Sketch.

May Waborn disturbed the peace by
making a great noise and collecting a
crowd, and now she can't remember any

A Sharn Trick.

A tipsy Des Moines individual went into
drug store and called for glass of soda
water. In going out he staggered against
pane Of French plate glass, shivering it to
atoms. Two clerks pursued him and de-
manded that he make good the loss. He pro-
tested his inability to pay, when the clerks
"went through" him, and finding 800
bill, deducted the price Of the glass, and
stuffed the change in his pocket. Subse-
quently it was discovered that the bill was
a counterfeit. Search was at once institu-
ted for the drunken fellow, who, when
found, was brought before the bar of justice
and charged with passing counterfeit mon
ey. The prisoner was acquitted.

A Remarkable Mnter.Snout.

A remarkable water-spout visited Lang
ley, South Carolina, on the II inst, passing
over a pond in that vicinity, and drawing a
large quantity Of water upwards.
When first seen the water-spout was near
the dam, and travelled slowly across the
pond until it reached the railroad trestle
work, distance of mile and quarter
from its starting point, when it disappear
ed, and the cloud moved majestical ly off,
carrying with it thousands of gallons of
water which had been drawn from the pond.
The latter covering an area of 600 acres,
was, in fact lowered fully two inches. The
marvellous speed with which the column
turned impressed the beholder with the
idea that it was associated with whirl-
wind. This was most probably the case,
as tremendous wind passed over Angus
ia from the direction Of Langley some
hours afterward. The heavens were bril-
liant with incessant flames of lightning af
ter the spout described above had disap-
peared. There was no rushing noise con-
nected with it as is the case in some instan-
ces. The water underneath the clouds Just
before the spout formed was in state of
great agitation. Waves rolled angrily and
a perceptible bulge was seen. AS the cloud
halted sort of funnel protruded from it
and dropped slowly down, becoming larger
as it heightened, the broader portion or
base being at the surface of the cloud.
When it reached a point about one-fourth
the distance between the cloud and the
pond, the bulge on the surface of the lat
tea rose to meet it and the two at length
joined when the water from the pond COM
menced ascending into the cloud, which
moved slowly toward the trestle work. The
waves in the waterfall leaping and tend
ing toward the spout-and the spout itself
continued the vertical motions referred to
above. The outside of the watery funnel
was dark and not well defined while the
centre was much lighter, being rather of
blush cast. This would seem to indicate
that the column was partly hollow, the
dark portions representing the sides. There
can be no doubt but that the immense uuan-
tity of water which was transferred from
the pond to the cloud was literally sucked
up. The spout finally disappeared, as if it
had been drawn bodily up into the cloud,
while the latter quietly moved off to parts
unknown. Not drop of rain fell during
the occurrence Or afterward The forma-
tion and subsequent motions of the spout
are described as having made up specta-
Gle grand in the extreme. Nothing of the
kind was ever before seen in that section.
The strangest part OF the phenomenon was
the fact that the cloud, so burdened with
water, moved off without dispensing any of
it in the form of rain in the neighborhood.

A Rutland, Vt, clergyman was at work
on sermon in his study, last week, when
a man dressed in oyerals and other work
day garments stepped in and asked him if
be would perform marriage ceremony
On inquiry the minister learned that the
man hadn't any license, but the two went
just as they were, to the town clerk and
got one. Without change of dress, the
betrothed man led the way to back
street, where woman was found washing
in her own house, with sleeves rolled up,
dress pinned up, etc. Without ceremony
all three went into another room, and the
knot was tied, whereupOn the bride re-
turned to her washtub, groom to his work,

When every other subject was exhausted,
my host asked :
'tHasn't there been something or other
in the papers lately about Beecher? ?"
mused moment, and then said,
thought there had been something Of the
sort.
"Well, hasn't Beecher published some
thing--a 'vindication,' think they call it /;

thing, and proved his innocence ?"

piled.

whole in brief" ru
Thus adjured, I began to condense, as

"Mr Tilton has accused Mr.. Beecher Of
adultery with Mrs. Tilton. To which Mr.
Beecher replies in substance as follows
"That lie inherited from his father and
his grandfather a strong tendency to hypo-

ANnYel Sentence.

Ex-Gov. Washburn, in his account of his
native town, Livermore, Maine, relates the
following "An Indian had killed another
of the same tribe at Roccomeco, who left
an infirm and crippled squaw. The mur-
derer was arrested, tried and convicted, but
instead of hanging him and thus making a
thoroughly useless corpse out of what might
have been put to some advantage, hisjudges
sentenced him to support and care for and
wait upon the widow of the slain Indian as
long as she should live. Vice President Ham
lin heard his mother--a daughter of Deacon
Livermore--say that she had many time
seen the Indian carrying the woman on his
back or hauling her on his hand sled"
The last of this tribe Of Roccomecos died at
Lake Umbagog more than fifty years ago.

ALearned Judge.

The Chambersburg Valley Spirit says,
one Of the Judges of the Supreme Court Of
Pennsylvania must have learned orthog-
raphy at the feet Of Josh Billings. He
spells ancient in way that could scarcely
have occurred to Josh himself, namely an
shent and does it twice on one page, which
shows that he likes that way OF spelling it.
Lest the other Judges might not relish the
indefinateness Of this allusion, we may say
that he spells his own name Gordon.
