SIMON elRTY. THE WHITE SAVAGE

In old pioneer days, no name on
the whole border was more dreaded
than that of Simon Girty. From
IT'S, when Girty, Elliott, Mckee,
and other well known tories fed to
the Indians from Fort Pitt, down to
Mad Anthony Wayne's battle in
1894, scarce maraud, massacre, or
scalping foray occurred but what Si-
mon Girty was at the bottom. The
hated name was a terror in every
settlers cabin, causing women's
cheek to blanch and children's hair
to stand with ] fear. "a Charles Nc

TREASURY DEFICIT.

A correspondent Of the Toledo
Blade, writing from Napoleon, states
that a committee appointed to ex
anime into the condition Of the Hen
ry county treasury has discovered
deficits amounting, during the past
four years to about 100000. Some
,ofhe books be longing to the treas
ury are missing, as are also those OF
the Auditor, which should throw
light upon the transactions of the
treasury during the period covered
by the missing books of the Treas
urer.

PROMISING CHANCE FOR A TERRI
BILE DISASTER.

If the New York newspapers re-
ports represent affairs truly, there
is a promising chance for a terrible
disaster on the railway between that
city and Philadelphia. Every morn
ing newspaper train driving at
the highest speed known ON that
line leaves New York for the cities
southward of it. Such are the dan
gers of the journey, that We are told
the engineer, fireman, and others
employed On the tram, have signed
q special paper declaring that they
will not hold the company response
Bile in damages in case of disaster.
Some time ago a carriage was run
into and the train narrowly escaped
a smash-up. Now We are told that
a passenger car has recently been
attached to it so that other lives be
sides the employee may be placed
in peril. We describe this train In
order to explain an item we find in
the New York papers, which states
that on Monday it left Jersey City
a half an hour behind time, and
made the time up before reaching
Trenton. That is, this train, whose
schedule time is the fastest on the
road, on Monday, when running
outside the schedule, vas driven at
the breakneck speed of 81 miles in
fifty-nine minutes. Nor was this
speed of a mile a minute the fastest
rate. Near New Brunswick five
miles of road was run in 81 minutes
or at the rate of eighty -sie miles an
hour. We are also told that "about
a dozen passengers enjoyed this ex-
traordinary ride" Nothing but
miracle could have saved a single
life of all ON board that train had
anything gone wrong. If this thing
continues we shall have some day
to chronicle terrible calamity
accident it will probably be called,
through t'crime" would be the prop
er wOrd-and the sooner the rail
way managery look into the matter
the better.-Phia delphia Ledger.

ASSAULTED BY ROBBERS

NASHVILLE, TEN, June 22.-On
Saturday night, between eight and
ntne o'clock, Col. Mart L. Stockhart,
prominent citizen of Maury coun-
ty living at Mt. Pleasant, twelve
miles from Columbus, was attacked
on his lawn by two unknown would
qe assasins, and beaten over the
head with heavy wood wagon stan
dard. The first blow was struck
from the rear, striking him on the
left side of the head cutting the ear
in two and crushing the skull. The
next blow was evidently intended for
his forehead, but struck and broke
his lower jaw. The object ofthe as
sassins was robbery, as they took
5000 from his perscn. Col. Stock
hart is in a critical condition, but
conscious, and says he has no idea
who the robbers were, whether white
or black.

country seems to be paralleled by
a similar depression In England
Numerous failures. both in the iror
and wooden trades, are announced
The linen trade is described as 'em
barrassed,' and the colonial produce
trade is said to be experiencing

be on the other side Of the ocean
something like the sans reduction

are having here, with its consequent

THE RACE FOR CONGRESS.

From present appearances, our
present Congressman, John Berry,
will not ride into his second term
with as much ease as he could wish.
Richland County, it seems, has put
forward the name of Col. B. Burns.
Holmes will present the name ofW'
Stillwell, and other Counties will
doubtless have their Candidates
Republicans in this district have nc
hankering after this Office. But il
is their desire that the democracy
will put forth better man for the
position than the present incum-
bent. Either of the above named
gentlemen would be preferable to
him. l

A Manchester, Ohio, dispatch to
the Enquirer says that Saturday
night William Tumbleson, of Ben
tonville, Adams county, started out
to hunt groundhogs and made an
appointment for his son, lad thir-
teen years of age, to meet him. The
sou came earlier than the father ex-
pected and lay down under a tree to
await his arrival. The father came
up, mistook him for a grounding and
discharged load of shot in his head,
from which the boy died in an hour.

DR.. j. w. SYKRs-Dear sir: 1 feel 1t
my duty to make q just acknowledge
ment to you of the benefit l received of
your treatment from April to Septem-
Der, 1859. When resorted to you 1 had
but little hope of recovery, as l had
hemorrhage Of the Lungs almost daily
during twenty-five months previous, to-
gether could not lie on my left side dur
ing period of fifteen years. The cough,
pain, and constant oppression of the
breast made life burden. After taking
your treatment for three months felt q
decided improvement; the hemorrhage
of the lungs had ceased altogether; the
opp ession Of the breast, cough, &C., were
much better, with a decided improve
ment of my general health; so that !
commenced the second course of three
months treatment with moro hope. Az
ter continuing the treatment (altogeth-
er five months,) / felt myself entirely
well, could lie on either side and breathe
freely. yet I could hardly believe the
cure q permanent one. But now, fifteen
months have elapsed, and no recurrence
of hemorrhages, or cough, and l have
regained my former weight SO that /
now fell thankful to God and to you for
your invaluable treatment in my case,
and shall not cease to recommend 9TH

The issue Joined.

Already the fight has commenced in
the Lower House Of Congress over the
financial difficulties into which Radical
legislation has sunk the country. Judge
Kelley yesterday found convert to his
3-6S bond policy in Gen. D. F. Butler,
who made flaming speech in advocacy
OF the measure; and was listened TO
with marked attention; the members Of
both political parties gathering around
him, to the evident delight of the cock
eye, who no doubt entertained for q few
moments the idea that he was soon
ngain to be the champion of a. large
party.
But unfortunately for this happy
thought. Mr.. Garfield, Of Buffers once
cherished party. let fall upon him and
and his ideal project shower of sar-
easm and vindictive rhetoric that must
have made the old veteran feel that the
bottling' process begun by Grant was
never to coase. Mr.. Dawes embraced
the opportunity to urge on the discus
sion, and we hope the Democratic mem.
bers will, at least for a while, stand
aioof, that the Radicals may have full
sway SO that every proposition they can
mako may be ventilated and the whole
question fully sifted.

Is the C,fy to be the Loser J.?

The above question has been pro-
pounded to us with regard to the defal-
cation Of the late Republican City Treas
urerp But we cannot answer it. 1t is
inore than q year since the Council en-
ployed an expert to ascertain the exact
amount Of the defalcation; and if we
remember rightly two reports were made.
One put the defalcation at about $4,000
bat subsequently mistakes were pointed
out in the work of the capert and the
amount reduced to about $4,000. But
this was disputed. and another expert, O
man from abroad, was brought here to
make another examination. This gentle
man demanded pay in advance, and not
getting it he resolved not to perform the
service asked of him. And thus the
matter stands. If the Council has faith
in the calculations and deductions of
its late expert why does it not collect the
money that is due the city from the Sc
curities Of the late Republican City
Treasurer? Certainly Mr.. Adams and
Mr.. Pickels did not mean to pay 5000 n
month for examining the books OF the
late Republican City Treasurer and not
collect the money of which the city was
deprived by the malfeasancc of an officer
OF their own selection. These gentle
men both have good business reputa-
tionsj they were the movers in tho mat
ter. and they owe some explanation to
the citizens ms to their dilitoriness in
not collecting the money due the city.

Bismarck is to destroy individualism

mission not of the law, but OF the
will of the dual power of Prince and
King.
