SPEAKER kERK's VIHDICATroN. - The
committee of the House of Representatives
which has ben investigating the charges
against Speaker Kerr, on Monday made a
report entirely Generating him. The report
was signed by all the members, except Mr..
Bass, who was absent. II was offered by
Mr.. Clymer, and seconded by Mr. Danford,
of Ohio, II Republican, who made n most
feeling and effective speech. Mr. Hurlbut, OF
Illinois, also a strenuous Radical, made n
manly speech; both speakers bearing tcsi-
mony TO the high and exalted character of
Mr.. Kerr. A proposition came from The
Republican side Of the House that The vote
should be a rising one, and when it was taken
Two hundred and len members, Republicans
as well as Democrats, arose. When Mr. Kerr
heard of the magnanimous conduct of his
political opponents he was overcome by his
emotions and wcpt. Mr.. Kerr's character
comes forth from the ordeal as gold purified
by fire, and he will henccforth be better
known and more thoroughly appreciated
than If the bitter trial had not befalcn him.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Young Lady's Head Nearly Severed
with an Axe.
ARREST OF THE MURDERER !
He Confesses His Guilt,
AND HANGS HIMSELF

OnThursday morning, about o'clock,
Miss Almira STREET., young lady aged 1S
years, daughter of Roger Street,, who
lives near Clermont Mills, was brutally
murdered with an axe, her dead body be-
ing found at the foot of the cellar stairs,
with the head nearly severed from it. 1t
is thought that while engaged in getting
break fast she went to the cellar for some
thing, when the attack was made upon
her. The marks of the axe were plainly
visible upon her neck, as if repeated blows
had been struck, and the weapon itself,
covered with blood, was found close by.
The murderer was white boy 16 or II
years old, named Christian Klotz, formerly
an inmate Of the Maryland House of Refuge,
who was employed by Mr.. Street, as a
farm hand.
Mr. Street, had gone to the field before
breakfast, and the murder was not discov-
ed until the other members of the family
came down stairs
The accused was taken into custody, and
Sheriff Hanway sent for. The latterand the
States Attorney, Mr.. Hopkins, at once
started for the scene of the murder
The information was brought to Bel Air
by VIM. H. Street,, who stated that large
crowd had assembled when he left
When the Sheriff and States Attorney
reached the place they discovered the dead
body of Klotz suspended from chestnut
tree The officers were informed that
Klotz hanged himself after copfessing his
guilt. He said he had no reason for kill.
ing Miss STREET., but did it tout of pure
devilment." Going out to the woods he
took rope, climbed the tree, adjusted the
rope around his own neck and to limb
and saying "Good bye" jumped from tho
limb and was soon beyond the reach Of
human law.
A large crowd, it is stated, witnessed
the occurrence.
This is the story told the Sheriff by per
sons in the crowd. Whether Klotz hang
ed himself voluntarily or not, is not now
definitely known.
Mr.. STREET., the father of the unfortunat,
young lady, says Klotz was an exceeding
ly vicious boy, and had previously threat
ened Miss STREET., for no cause whatever
He had intended, he said, to return him t.
the House of Refuge.
The murdered young lady is a mcmbe
OLA most respectable family, and the shock
ing manner of her death has excited tn,
greatest horror and Indignation.

BUSY TIME IN THE FOREST.
1t Is quite a busy time in the Forest. Farmers
are cultlvating their corn, which looks well for
this season OF the year. and a number are about
winding up setting out tomato plants.
They commenced planting the tomato about
the twelfth or fifteenth ofMay but the cut. worm
and potato beetle were SO destructive that many
persons were compelled TO rcplant three or four
tunes or dispense with planting altogether.
visited II German friend and ncighbor of mine
the other day, who intended to plant about five
acres with tomatoes. When approached him
and inquired how lie was getting along, his re-.
ply was, "Oh, don't talk TO me! | shall have to
give mp. cannot stand it! The potato beetle
was here yesterday in such swarms that the at
mOspherG was darkcncd. MY wife is sick i'm bed
this morning, and was compelled 10 turn cook
myself" This | concluded was sad state of
affairs, and tried TO soothe and encourage him.
but anything which 1 could say appeared to be
all in vain, and left him with deep sympa-
thctic feeling,
THE WHEAT CROP
here looks remarkably we'll, and from present
appearances the yield will be greater than for
many years. There have been only few potatoes
planted, those of the Early Rose variety. A
person said to me yesterday that he had new
ones on his table for dinner on Saturday last
which think is carly for this section, though /
can hardly doubt his word.
HOW THEY CULTIVATE THE TOMATO.
As the tomato is creating the most excitement
at present in our agricultural list | will give
you few ideas of its management, which, YOU
will at once perceive is tedious aud labori0us
In the first place then, the ground is, or should
be, well prepared with harrow and roller SO as
to be fine. 1t is then struck out in rows, che.
quered about four feet each way. Then the
phosphate is dropped in and hills made. The
next thing to be done is to get water hauled to
the field and then you are ready to commence
setting out the plants | suppose that three
persons who understand the business might put
out from three to five hundred plants an hour
When the ground is of good quality and the
plant well cultivated, the yield is said by some
to be five hundred bushels per acre. but in my
opinion and experience an average of two hun
dred will be nearer the mark.
PUBLIC ROADS,
had almost forgotten to mention our public
roads through here The Hartford Furnace teams
have been running on them nearly all the spring
and torn them up in such manner that In
some places they are almost impossible, and as
our General Supervisor has not sent any one a
warrant to fix them up, that am aware of, will
no doubt be another year before they are in good
condition.

JAMES c. BLAINE.
Blaines sudden illness was q severe blow
to his friends, and they were feeling very de-
spondent last evening. To-day some of their
courage has returned, so that they go about
betting each other that the attack is only
temporary, that its effect will soon pass away,
sc. Blaine must have suffered intensely dur
ing the past few days, in his efforts to appear
calm and cool, under an excitement that was
destroying him. Those who have watched
him in the committee-room and on the floor
of the House, for few weeks past, have
been impressed with the fact that his appar-
ent indifference of manner concealed a good
deal of nervousness and anxiety. This was
probably mere guess, based on the convic-
ton that no one could possibly undergo the
mental strain under which Mr.. Blaine has
labored for weeks, without experiencing an
anxiety which might be concealed, but which
would be felt nevertheless. There is good
reason to believe that Mr.. Blaine was engag.
