county, free gift to the people of that
community. 1t Is estimated to cost
$lS, 900, but will probably reach twice
that sum before it Ia finished. The
body of the church is built of pink
sandstone, and the cornice and win
dows of white sandstone. 1t is in the
Gothic style of architecture. When
finished it will be an ornament OF

be proud, as well as lasting monu-

ITEMS from the Brookville RcpubH-
cam.
On Monday morning last a sad and
fatal accident occurred ut Greensburg,
resulting in the instant death of Jas.
L. Miller, resident of Scotidale, that
county. Mr.. Miller was in Green's
burg on business, and having transa c.
ted 1t, went to the depot with the in
tentiOn of taking the train on the
Southwest Railroad for his home.
When the mail train east, over the
Pennsylvania Railroad, came along he
boarded it and did not discover that he
was on the wrong train until it began
to move. In endeavoring to jump of
while the cars were in motion, by
some means or other he was thrown
under the wheels, and was literally
ground to pieces. He was a gentle
man who enjoyed large circle of ac-
quaintances, and leaves wife and
four children to mourn his sudden
death.
On Saturday morning last at an
early hour, two brothers named Rid
die, at Springdale, Allegheny county,
while looking after burglars, mistook
each other for the burglar, and each
fired their weapon, one receiving q
bullet in his thigh and the other a
charge Of shot in the breast. The
agonized cries of the brothers made
known to the rest of the family the
terrible mistake that had been made.
The wounds of the young man shot in
the breast are quite serious, while the
others is more painful than danger

THE COMING ELECTION.

The good order and prosperity of every
municipality depend in great degree up.
on the character and fitness of the men to
whom is committed the duty Of governing
Although existing under the authority OF
a charter which defines its privileges and
limits its powers, 1t is upon the Mayor
and the Common Council that city must
depend chiefly for protection to life and
property, for It's socia! condition., and
for the development Of its material rcsour.
COS. In no community is there any con.
siderable number of people, compared
with the aggregate, who do not desire the
enforcement of wholesome and rigid
discipline. The common interests of the
city require this, and large majority are
usually found willing to consent to it,
and to unite in the support Of ticket
composed of representative men. 1t is so
here. The law-abiding and high.mindcd
citizens represent so large a proportion Of
our population as to make it easy to elect
a corps of officers from the ranks Of the
very best men. Our interests arc local
and of vital consequence to none but our
selves. We want good government at a
reasonable cost, but at whatever cost, VIC
want good government. Without that We
can have nothing else which is good,
hence we should suffer neither spite, nor
faction, nor society, nor business, nor
church, to defeat an honest effort to elect
an excellent Mayor and an honorable
Council. We have been fortunate in these
respects during the year which is just
drawing to close. Wisdom, integrity,
and economy, have characterized the re.
tlring administration, and our improved
financial condition, aud our immunity
from the depradations Of bad men attest
their ability and faithfulncss. Let US re-
solve that their successors shall be worthy
and competent.

ut has been said of the great musical

harmonies which her touch awakened in
the strings of her violin. ....a.-..

thusiasm of her listeners burst forth in
round after round of applause.

Last Saturday, was one Of those clear,
bright, warm days that always come to us
early in MARCH and set everybody into
ccstacies with expectation that the song
of birds, and tue odor of blossoms will
come upon the next balmy breeze. The
farmers talked of early sowing, the wom-
en- of house. cleaning, and the urchins,- -
on dry patches of earth hallowed by sun
shine, played "keeps." Thus the prcscn Mt
was made happy by anticipating the fu.
ture. Early the next morning before
many had left their touches, the deep
voiced thunder was heard, -awakening
the echoes, and startling the nerves with
vibratory thrill. Then the gentle rain
drops, as they battered against the roof
made liquid music which fell upon the
ear as sunshine falls upon fowcrs,-sweet-
~, soothingly, tenderly. THUS wooed,
sleep came again and with it dreams of
brooks, and water crosses, and cowsllps,
Of the laughter of boys barcfooted wading
about filing tin pals with greens" and

ing footsteps, the letters of slumber are
broken leaving the thoughts occupied
with the "long ago." Appropriate to
this the day was dark-portending storm.
Tue services at church attracted less than
the usual number, while the condition of
the streets forbade any attempt to seek
pleasure in the open air. At night, dark.
ness-so deep and gloomy as to be almost
palpable to the touch settled upon all
around, circumscribing the world of every
man by the limits of his own household.
When morning dawncd again, our por-
ton of the earth was mailed with IN
armor of ice and swept with fierce blasts
from the frozen zone, having in them no
suggestion of spring, or Of singing birds,
or Of blossoming flowers. The changes
of the weather arc not unlike the moods
of the mind. As the brightest morning
is sometimes soonest e'rcast with sombre
clouds, so the happiest hour may prove
but the prelude to deepest sorrow, and the
sunshine and the shadow which chase
each the other in such quick succession
over mountains and meadows, fifty por-
tray the sudden transitions of joy and
grief as they alternate in their possession
Of the human heart. Blessed is that man
who so orders his life that he may be
happy whether storms come, or prosper.

RRlnERY AND CORRUPTION.

Last Thursday Congressional Investi.
eating Committee made report to the
House of Representatives, which disclo.
ses terrible corruption on the part of a
Cabinet officer and covers the nation with
disgrace. VIM. w. Bclknap, the Secrc-
tary of War, is snown to have received
large sums IF money from one Marsh, at
whose disposal he placed the Post Trade.
ship ut Fort Sill. The amount aggre.
gates about $4,000, which has been re-
ceived in installments during the last five
years. The evidence is terribly convlnc-
ing, and establishes the guilt Of Belknap
beyond doubt In fact he has confessed
the whole charge and resigned his Office.
The House of Representatives immediate
b passed resolutions of impeachment,
aud BIZ their committee duly notified the
Senate. Before being aware of Belknap's
corruption the Presi dent accepted his
cesiepation, and the question is now rails.
ed whether, not being an officer of the
.eovernuent, the accused can be made the
subject ofimpeachment proceedings. The
bsttsr opinion seems to he that he can-that
q man cannot avoid the effect Of his evil
deeds by laying aside the portfolio of the
position which he has disgraced. At ,
cabinet meeting held last Saturday the
President expressed himself as very in.
disuan, 1t the course of Belknap, and d.
rected the Attorney General to initiate
proceedings for an indictment. The pen.
Nv Is three years imprisonment and .
flne Of double the amount IT The money
corrupty obtained. Mr.. Belknap cannot
hope to escape the legal consequences Of
his corrupt conduct The discovery Gre

country and In fact the civilized world
