AMurderous Desperado.

TTTUsvILLE, PA, June IA "A specisl
to the Herald this afternoon says that =
man named Nick Baker, s. resident Of
CoIumbis, this Sts'e sgsd tweT TtY-one
years, entered the house OF Mr.. D0her-
ty, OF that place. last night for the sup
posed purpose Of avishing Mrs. Doher-
ty. Being foiled in the attempt, in order
to screen himself, he shot her, the ball
entering her left bresst, from the effects
of which she died in twenty minutes.
A man named Thomas M'CoOl hearing
the shot went to the house to ascertain
the cause of the trouble. Baker meeting
him at the door fired the two remaining
shots at him. M'COOl tried to flee, but
stumbled, falling on his face, when
Baker pOunced upon him stabbing him
several times in the back and shoulders,
which will prove fatal. Baker is con-
fined.

The Hudson River Bridge.

At last the long talked of railroad
bridge at Poughkeepsie has been con-
tracted for with Il Chicago company.
The river at this point is about nalf a
mile wide, with depth of from fifty to
sixty feet and four feet tide, and the
bridge-which is to be what is called an
under-gradc or neck bridge, with double
tracks-including the approaches, will Ice
about one mile long. There will be four
masonry piers, the foundation OF which
will be formed of cais Jiis, sunk bv the
pneumatic process, and the superstruct-
ure will consist of five truss spans of five
hundred and twenty-five feet each, the
distance from the surface of the water to
the lowest lines Of the trusses being one
hundred and thirty feet and to the rail-
read track one hundred feet. The
structure will he remarkable for the fact
that the proposed spans are longer than
any now existing, and also for the fact
that it is necessary TO GO fifty feet below
the bed of the river (itselt fifty or sixty
feet deep) to reach the bedrock on
which to put the piers which will make
it about three hundred feet from the foot
of the pier 10 the railroad track. The
contract price is between four and five
million dollars, which is the largest sum
ever put into bridge contract-the St.
Louis bridge, although having cost about
nine million dallars, was contracted for
a, a smaller amount. The company who
has taken this contract has built four out
of the seven bridges over the Missouri
river, and can be relied upon to meet all
the obligations which they have under
taken to fulfill as to the time and place.

CoNsuarrvEs, TAKE NorIcE.-Every moment
OF delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depend. on the judicious choice OF a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor Of Dr. schcnck's Pub
monc Syrup, as a cure for Consumption, iai exceeds
all that he brought to support the prctonous Of
any other medicine. See Dr, Sckonck's Almanac,
containing the certificates OF many persons OF the
highest respcotahiliiy, who have heen restored to
ncalth, after being pronounced incunblc by physi-
clans Of Acknowledged ability. schenck's rulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, these evidences will
show hut the cure is often promoted by the en-
ploymcut oi two other remedies which II. S,hcnek
provides for tho purpose. These additional remedies
arr scheucks soa Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use OF these mciicincs, according TO
directions Dr. schcnck certihcs that most any case

TELEGRAPH STATIONS IN MiD-OcEAN.

TELEGRAPH STATIONS IN MID-OCEAN.
Several foreign naval powers, says the
London Standard, are directing their at
tention to the practicability of establish
ing telegraph stations in mid-oeean, by
which messages can be sent from any
part Of the sea along the line of the cable
TO the terminal points on shore, and rice
rersa, 50 tha. communication with iron
clads, mail steamers and other vessels,
when out at sea, may be established.
The Invention consists Of hollow sec
tional column, with base plate attached
by ball and socket joint, which column
is lowered into the water, and anchored
rigidly TO the ground. The branch cable
is coupled to the main cable, and car
riod along the column to the surface of
the water, to be there connected with
instruments on board the vessels. BY
this invention it is proposed TO control
naval and strategical movements while
ship in distress could communicate her
exact position, the nature OF her dis
as.ets, and thus procure assistance.

words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time il re-
quires of Others, as the newspapers have
made them acquainted with the location
of the important places of nations, their
government and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians for
having become familiar with every
variety of style in the newspapers, from
the commonplace advertisement to the
finished and classical o.ation of the
statesman, they more readily com
prehend the meaning of the text, and
constantly analyz, its construction with
accuracy.
They write better compositions, using
better language, containing more
thoughts, more clearly and more cor
rectly expressed.
8. Those young men who have for
years been readers of newspapers are al.
ways taking the lead in debating societies.
exhibiting more ext ,nsive knowledge
upon greater variety of subjects, and
expressing their views with greater
fluency, clearness and correctness.
