The New York correspondent OF a
French newspaper, who had read all the
evidence and statements which came
before the investigating committee upon
the BeecherTiiton scandal wrote the tol-
lowing brief summary Of the affair to his
paper; "Three prominent New York
clergymen - Rev Messrs Moulton,
Beecher, and Stilton-are at present in
volved in grand quarrel. 1t seems that
in the possession of Mr. Moulton were
found some love letters which related to
the fact of an improper intimacy between
Mr. Stilton and the wife OF Mr. Beecher,
Mrs Harriet BeecLer Stowe, the mother
OF Uncle Tom, the blind pianist, and
Mr. Stlton accuses Mr. Beeoher of having
seduced his daughter Florence, for which
he claims $4,000 damages. New York
is greatly excited over the affair"
During the recent visit to Washing
ton of Senator Chandler, Chairman OF
the Republican National Congressional
Committee, it was agreed to aid and sup
port the call for convention Of the Re-
pubicans of the Southern States, to
meet at Atlanta on the 18th Of Octo-
Der. 1t is desired that the most
thoughtful, wise and fair. minded men
from each State be appointed as delega-
tes to this convention, the object being
to set forth to the Nation the true con-
diton of the South, and show the needs
and suggest the reforms necessary to
secure the perfect reconstruction Of
those States.

AN atrocious and bood-thirsty mur-
der occurred about four miles north OF
Canton, Pa, on the night of the 28th
ult. A negro named Albert Brown,
during the absence Of little girls par
ents named Greenleat, to Grange
meeting, seized her, carried her up
stairs ani attempted to ravsh her per-
son, but failing to accomplish his hel-
lish design, murdered her by cutting
her throat, from ear to ear. The child was
but five years old, and it is said the
negro, Brown, had always seemed fond
Of her and delighted in braiding her
curls and listening to her childish prat,
tie. After committing the deed the
negro secreted himself along the railroad
and as a freight train approached he
jumped out OF the bushes and deliber-
ately walked in front of the engine for
the undoubted purpose Of putting al
end to his miserable life. he was struck
by the COW catcher and thrown off the
track, but not seriously injured, and it
is thought will recover. He is safely
lodged in the Towands Jail to await
trial.-Rcnovo Record.

"B. DADD" has found the cure for
crime. He observes that the japanese
census shows only three thousand crlmi,
nails in population of over thirty-thlee
million souls. But they have a pretty
effcctual way of curing criminals in
Japan, When a man dcfalcates several
thousand dollars worth, or commits a
Kuklux outrage, instead Of sending
him to prison for twenty years, and
giving him pardon after serving eight
or ten months, they chop off his head,
and this SO discourages the criminal that
he never repeats the offense; and when
the census man comes around he is not
about to answer to lis name-Williams-
port Register.

The saw mill and house Of Mr.. j T
Rishel, of Brady township, which were
burned on Friday, August 2lst, is sup
posed to have been set on fire by Mr..
RS little girl. Mr.. and Mrs. r were
away from the house at the time and
the fire was discovered by a neighbor
lady who went to visit Mrs r. Not
finding her at home she found the little
girl between the old and the new mill,
just as the fire was starting, and only had
time to get her out of the road before
the fire spread over the mill. As there
had been no fire in the house that day.
and as Mr.. Rishel had not been on the
mill at all, the only theory is that the
child got a match and started the fire in
play. If the lady had appeared few
minutes sooner she could have stopped
the fire, Between three and four
thousand feet OF lumber were burn ed,
belonging entirely to ueighbors, at a
loss of about 5000. Mr.. Risaol's loss
is aboul $1,000. All the household
goods wele saved, but nothing could be
gotten out of the mil.-RuttSman s

THE Baltimore papers pronounce the
Maryland peach crop great failure, so
much so that thousands of acres of
peach orchards may be found that will
not average single peach to the tree.
1t is said that there is not sin gle
orchard on the eastern or western shores
that will yield one-tourth Of an ordinary
crop. One gentleman who shipped
10000 boxes last year declares that the
entire yield of his orchard will not ex-
ceed one busEel. Last year the receipts
at Baltimore by one line of steamers
was from 5000 to $4,000 boxes daily.
Thus far the total receipts are not equal
to the amount delivered in one day last
