Tue town of ,4amartine, Fond du

sudden disappearance OF Edward
Broughton, yovn, farmer some Is
years of age; it is feared that he has
been fouly dealt with, and band OF

of clue.
THE Pagan Indians, of the Bud
River Reservation, are holding grand
Medicine talk, near Ashland; Lew
nrophetesS. a Sioux squaw, has receut
ly visited them and remuneration Of
Leathenism is going on rapidly; the
revival meetings are being attended by
about 500 Pottawattomies ana Chippe
wa braves.
TIE little village of Woodman, a
station near Prairie du CHEN, On the
St. Paul Railway, was nearl y totally
destroyed by fee at two o'cl1ck Monday
morning. Some ten or twelve hullo-
ingS, together with the railway depot
were destroyed, The fire was the
work Of an incendiarv, and was done
through malice toward some OF The
merchants. Ii is rumored that the
ringleader is known, and will. of course,
be Immediately arrested Nonsurance
except on one building.
The widow of Mr. Leighton, the
late Postmaster at Oskaoosa, Iowa, bias
been appointed by the President aad
confirmed by the Senate as her lament
ed has baud successor In that office
The host of good people in Iowa who
knew Mr.. Leighton, and appreciated
his excellent qualities of heart and

and devoted Republican.
AN incendiary fire at Fox Lakes. on
the Is inst destroyed the grist mill

Gov. Pennington. of Dakota, says

kota Territory as state, because it
would be Republican as solid as Min

argue the Democrats, land We mustn't
make another such one or we'll ruin
our party"
The story that Bishop Domenec, of
Pittsburgh, is imprisoned at Rome,
seems to be disproved by private let
ter received by one of his former pa
rishioners, which announces his death
at Tarragona, Spain, and speaks of the
splendor of his funeral. The same
letter contains the information that the
deceased prelate had just been named
Bishop of California. which indicates
that the authorities at Rome had not
lost confidence in him, though it was
alleged that he had misapproprated
100000 in his diocese.
Mr.. FLOOD, the wealthy speculator
San Francisco, held mortgage on the
L n
that city for 100000. The Taber-
nacle was sick, and no Kimball came
along to clear off the weighty load, SO
it had to be sold under foreclosure, ssas
tue interest had long been unpaid.
Mr.. Flood bought it ia, and then pre-
sented it to the congregation, which
is made all the more curious by the
fact that the donor is Roman Catho-
lie.

DFA TIL OF A NOTORIOUS
WOMAN.

A sensation was created throughout
the city, says the New York CORES.
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
recently, by the announcement that
the notorious Madame Restell had an.
ticpated the judgment that probably
awaited her in the Court Of Sessions,
by taking her own life. She was found
dead in her elegant mansion, in the
Fifth avenne, under circumstances that
lett no doubt that she had committed
suicide by cutting her throat. She was
to have been brought TO trial on
charges preferred against her by Mr.
Anthony Comstock, on behalf of the
Society for the Suppression of Wee,
and the lawyers are OF the opinion
that there was sufficient evidence to
ensure her conviction. Thore can be
no question but that she was ono OF
the most infamous women Of tho time
and but few tears therefore will be
shed over the fate that has befallcn
her. Her real estate and personal
property are estimated to bo worth
from $1,000, 900 to sl,5OO,0OO.
The body of Madame Restcll was
discovered AT about eight o'clock in
the morning, by a domestic, in the
bath tub, with her throat cut. On ex.
animation in was found that the jugu-
lar vein had been severed with an
ivory-bandled carving knife, which lay
in the tub alongside of the body. The
tub was nearly full Of water, and the
body had evidently been dead for some
hours. Mr.. Stewart, the counsel Of
deceased, stated that since her arrest
she bad manifested great fear and anx-
icty on account of a belief that the
prosecution intended to bring other
charges against her in reference to old
cases. This belief had taken such pos
session of her, that il almost amounted
to q halluoination. The members Of her
family say that the day previous 10
her death she was very nervous, and
showed symptoms Of mental derange-
ment Madame Restell, whose real
name was Ann Lohman, was native
Of England, and about sixty.seven
years Of age. Some time ago she serv.
cd term in the penitentiary, having
been convicted on charges similar TO
these now brought against her.

TO WNSHIP ROAD TAXES.


A case was heard the other day be.
fore Judge Pearson, of Dauphin county,
and by him decided, regarding the
time when Supervisors are required TO
levy the Road tax, and the right Of
citizens to work but their tax Il they
so desire. The bill showed that the
Supervisor of Susquchanna township,
Dauphin county, had the Road taxes
of said township assessed late in the
Fall of 1877 for said year. The com.
plainant had called on the officer sew
eral times through the year, asking for
an opportunity to work out the Road
tax on the farm on which he lived as
tenant. He was permitted TO work
to the amount Of 1884, but desired to
work out the whole tax, which he sub.
sequently learned was 1854 but
never had the opportunity. Early in
1878 the Supervisor distrained and was
about to sell his property Tor the resi-
due of the tax.
The Court holds that Road tax
levied late in the Fall Of the year is
clearly illegal, and when so done, it is
impossible for the Supervisor to COM
ply with the law, or the citizen 10
know the amount thereof so as TO work
il out. 1t is the duty of the Supervisor
elected on the third Tuesday of Feb
ruary, soon after entering upon tho
duties Of his office, TO assess the tax for
the year. He is governed by the valu-
alton for county purposes, and if tho
necessities Of the township, from tho
state Of the roads, requires it, may call
TO his assistance the Assessor Of the
last years tax, and levy his for tho
coming year, but generally it may be
more prudent to await the tax on each
piece Of property for the three years,
alter the appeals are over, and imme-
diately lay the Road tax not exceeding
one per cent. on the county valuation.
This tax must be entered in book,
TO which all owing Road tax can have
free access to see the amount OF his
taxes, and the Supervisor must allow
each person an opportunity to work IL
out. The book must be kept by the
Township Treasurer, if there is one
if not, then by the Supervisor, who is
subject to heavy penalty if he refuses
inspection OF it. The Supreme Court
has decided that 1t is illegal tor Super
visor to enter into such contracts for
making roads as would preclude the
u.,..or a l. ,1.1,.1,,,,stx~ 10 .x-orl- ont h,o
