The Tamaqua Item says sour com
munity was in fever of excitement
and alarm the other evening, over the
news that two little boys-the one a
son of Mr.. Christian Filler the other of
Mrs. Ryan, both of Centre street-were
missing. The fellows left home in the
morning, and not having been seen or
heard of at nightfall, the greatest anxiety
took possession of their parents.
Sympathizing friends soon organized
parties to search the woods for them, and
when daylight came the next morning,
no clue had been obtained as to their
whereabouts, the excitement spread
throughout the entire community and be-
came most intense.
About half-past twelve o'clock the hearts
of the anxious parents and friends were
gladdened by the discovery of the lost ones.
Next door to the residence of Mrs. Ryan,
the mother of one of the boys, stands an
unoccupied frame building. A little girl
named Oschman, who was hunting for
them, chanced to put her head in through
broken window, when she saw little
hand poked out of hole at the bottom OF
the door of closet under the stairs.
She quickly gave the information, when
eager parties rushed in, opened the door
and there they were, alive and well They
had gone into the old house to play, and
entered the closet and closed the door,
which shuts with spring latch on the
outside, and they were prisoners. When
found they were of course somewhat worn
out with over twenty-four hours of con.
finement without food or drink, but they
did not appear much the worse

Two reckless lads living at Robella, Al

cerine from the depot at that place one day
last week and concluded to test the power
of the liquid, which they did in a most eff

roll huge stones down until the can was
struck and the contents exploded with a
fearful result, the SHOCK. k.caused by it being
plainly felt over the whole neighborhood.

Mhat has he been Doing 2

A mysterious attempt was made in Bell
vile, Mo-, Tuesday evening, Aug. 25, to
assassinate the Rev. J. p. Davis, pastor of
Methodist church of that city. Accord
ing to Mr. Davis's statement he left home
about half-past seven.o'clock to make pas
toral call on the family of Mr.. Hilary West,
South High street. Not finding any one
there he concluded to take walk When
near the German Methodist Church he
heard a soft, light, quick step behind him,
and some one cried "stop" He then
turned and saw a pistol close to his nose.
He pushed the weapon aside, as the assas-
sin discharged it, and the bullet passed
through the fleshy part of his left arm. Mr..
Davis struck his assailant, who staggered
back, dropped the pistol, and fled. The
weapon was small, handsome, seyen-bar-
relied revolver, apparently new, and two
chambers were empty. Mr.. Davis says
that he had heard pistol discharged on
Jackson street. just few minutes before
the attack, and thinks that it was done to
test the weapon. The curious part of the
story is that NJ. Davis describes his would

of light build, having small delicate hands,
and feminine voice. Was it woman 2

The Luxury Of New York Hotels and Their
Tables.

1t is matter of much interest to those
who visit New York to keep posted about
the hotels. Recently there has been quite
rivalry among the first-class hotels about
bills-of-f fare, each striving to set the best
table for its guests. We speak more par
ticularly of the hotels ON Broadway and
Fifth Avenue-the Grand Central being
the largest, most centrally located, and
elegantly furnished. OF these four or five
leading hotels, the bills-of-fare are covered
with the names of the most luxuriant
viands of the season. The bill of the
Grand Central especially, deserves setting
apart as notable specimen of modern
culinary skill in the number, variety, and
richness of it's dishes. 1t contains no less
than eleven Q1) courses for dinner, and
gives the hours for no less than six (6)
meals every day, for the moderate sum Of
from SO to 81 per day, including, of course,
an elegantly furnished room for each
guest. 1t would seem from this that the
tours of our travellers and the visits of our
business men become rounds Of pleasure as
well as Of business.

Lone BRANCH, N. ]. Sept. 2, 1874.
To Gen. w. w. Belknap, Secretary of
War The recent atrocities in the south,
particularly in Louisiana, Alabama and s.
Carolina, shows disregard for law, civil
tiles and personal protection, that ought
not to be tolerated in a civilized government.
1t looks as if, unless speedily checked,
matters must become worse, until life and
property there will receive no protection
fron the local authorities until such au-
thority become paralyzed, under such ac-
cumuations, it is the duty of the govern
ment to give all the aid for the protection
of life and civil rights legally authorized.
To this end, | wish you would consult
with the Attorney General, who is already
informed as to the Outrages already COM
mitted, and the localities where the great
est danger lies, and so order troops as to
be available in case of necessity. All pro-
ceedings for the protection of the South
will be under the Law Department of the
Government, and will be decided by the
Attorney General in accordance with the
provisions of the enforcement acts. No
instructions need, therefore, be given the
troops ordered into the Southern States,
except as they may be transmitted from
time to time on advice from the Attorney
General, as circumstances may determine
hereafter. Yours truly.

dered.


The quiet Of Spus Chriali was greatly dis
turbed last SInday by the receipt Of
the news OF coid-blooded murder at Penes-
cal. a point on Laguna Madre, some sixty
miles from this place. The bloody deed IS
without a parallel in the history Of Western
Texas, and IS only capable Of being perpe-
trated BY the blood-thirsty Comanche, or
the worse than savage Mexican.
The unfortunate victims were all known TO
our citizens and bore the beet of characters ;
were honest and upright in their dealings
with their fellow men, and respected by al
who knew them. Their names respectively
are John +. Morton, his brother Michael
Morton, p. F. III. Coakley, and a carpenter
by the name of Hem an Tilgner.
The suferings Of Mr. Morton, Judging
alone from cireumstantial evidence, are be-
yond the descriptive power Of mans pen.
With deliberate coolness be was so wounded

himself, and in this manner forced TO over
haul the goods in the store, break open his
trunks and boxes, display his papers and
deliyerup all the valuables in his possession.
The blood stains on the counter, shelves,
boxes, etc, from his wounded bleeding arm,
justifes this version of the affair. The
assassins reserved him for the last From

whereabouts. The audacity of the muir

Where is your suppression Of crime, and
your peace, llesss. Coke q Co. Echo
answers. whersl-sAermaR PatriOt. =
Now there is no occasion for US 70 defend
Governor Coke, but simply to make few
statements which justice demands; and
to ask few questions which are pertinent
to the charge Of failing to execute the laws
to suppress crime. The Governor has only
two thousand dollars at his disposal in the
suppression Of lawlessness. However anx-
ious and concerned he may be about the
black deeds which are perpetrated from
time to time. ne is poWerless to do more
than TO call upon the sherifTs and peace
officers Of the State to discharge their du-
ties and arrest offenders against the laws
Because q man is the Governor, does not
alone give him powers which might be
necessary to preserve the peace Of the State
and the property and lives of the citizens.
He is compelled to proceed according to
law. If there is no law giving him pIenary
powers, he can only call attention TO abuses
and recommend the enactment of laws
which will prevent their repetition. Would
the Ratriot have HIM to act without author
ity Of law2 The truth is, the appropriations
made by the Legislature were too small in
several instances; and thus it is that heads
of departments have been left almost power
less. The penny wise and pound foolish
policy viii not do when great interests are
involved, and the well being Of the State is

partment and the Governor failed to use
the means at his disposal, then we too
would have called upon him to discharge
his duties, attend to the interests of the
State andsecure the people in the peaceable
enjoyment of their rights. o
Now, VIC can only urge him to do the best
that can be done, to use all the means in

punished and lynch law suppressed. This,
we believe. he Wilde even WithoutIrging
He must desire to make his administration
as useful and brilliant as possible and to
leave record of which he will be prond.
He knows that he cannot do this if he sits
still and folds his hands. He will be up
and DONG, and we venture to predict,
though neither prophet nor the son of
prophet, that he will leave no stone un-
turned to bring the outlaws and offenders
against the public peace and laws of the
land to speedy and cOndign punishment.
II he had the means, rewards could be
offered for the apprehension of criminals,
sheriffs could be required to employ add
tional deputies, lawyers, if necessary, en-
ployed to assist in prosecutions, and in
other ways it could be used for the good of
the State.
