Gloves haraugue" is what the Philadel-
phia Record calls it. The Enquirer character
ICES il in the same way. The World says that
lIowe's speech was probably an individual
speculation, and indicates nothing except Mr..
Howe's personal belief that the Republican
party is coming out distinctly as an opposition
and his personal desire not to be behind hand
The Philadelphia North american says that il
Mr.. Howe thinks that he has struck the key
note he will soon be undeceived, fer the coun-
try is not joining in the chorus of any such
song The speech, says the New York Times,
cannot be counted profitable to the country or
the party to which Mr. Howe belongs. The
Tribune says his speech is a curious mixture
OF staring truths aud staring falaciss, plain
sense and fierce prejudice. The Philadelphia
Press says the speech was not an argument
but philippe, and calculated to do harm 10
the Republican party. The Washington Post
thinks Howe is entitled to almost as much
sympathy as VIM. L. Chandler.

Terrible Tragedy in West Virginia

Jno. Wallace, the fend who was arrested
for the murder of his brothers. wife, child and
niece near Littleton, West Virginia, on We'd
nesday of last week. and who subsequently,
confessed to having committed the deed, was
early Sunday morning taken in charge by a
party of fifteen men, who, after placing a rope
around his neck, dragged him a distance of
mile and a-half and hung him on an apple
tree. The following are the particulars of the
tragic affair:
About oclock Sunday morning party Of
men numbering fifteen approached the house
where Wallace was conf0ed. They spoke 10
each other in whispers, and seemed TO be
under The instructions of one man, who gave
them his orders. They wore no masks and
were evidently careless as to being known -
After standing opposite the house for a few
moments the leader gave n signal and the door
was pushed open. Wallace was lying on a
low bed, but was not asleep and as the silent
crowd clustered around him he started up in
horror, and then, with low moan, sank
down, buried his face in his hands and sobbed
convulsvely.
No word was spoken, but two men stepped
forward and producing rope tied his hands
behind his back Then the leader fastened
another rope around his neck, and he was or
dered TO arise and accompany them. The
poor wretch piteously begged for mercy, but
there was no reply. His limbs seemed unable
to bear him, and he was lifted up and dragged
out into the road II was strange procession
that moved along in the moonlight figure
half kneeing, half walking, with pinioned
arms and neck encircled bv a rope. Two men
| dragged him along over the rough road by
branching trees and rocks, and in front
walked the others pulling the rope and tight
enng il as their victim Jagged in his pace -
For mile and a-half they proceeded until
they came to a grove of trees about mile
from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Here
a halt was ordered.
The doomed man cried and begged for
mercy He clasped their knees and prayed
and sobbed, but he might as well have APP
pealed to the rocks or TO the wind that walled
down the mountains. An apple tree was
selected, the strongest branch picked out, the
rope thrown over it, and while the screaming
and terrified wretch was struggling with
those holding him, twenty willing hands
grasped the rope, and Wallace shot upwards
quivering and dangling in mid air. One
muffled shrek, few convnlsve throes, and
all was STILL and as the body swayed back
wards and forwards in the night wind tn,
sef-appoiuted execuioners disappeared a.
silently and mysteriously MS they had come
As the early train passed Burton the body wa
in full view, and the sight oceNsioned quite

The Crops.

The crops is the absorbing topic OF
conversation this week. The reports
we get of the wheal are anything but
encouraging. In this locality hun.
dreds of acres are not worth harvest
ing. The fields vary, owing to the
condition of the wheat when the in
tense heat struck it. Winter and ear
ly sown spring wheat, which matur-
ed before the 10th of July, is all right.
Some farmers tell us that they will
have from sixteen to twenty bushels
to the acre others eight others four
and, altogether too many say their
fields will not pay them to cut.
The acreage is large this season,
and il half the crop is harvested there
will be good deal of wheat in the
country. We have had some samples
sent us, but none that we're flattering.
William Winter, of Mt. Vernon, sends
us samples from his farms, which we
hope are not an index of his entire
crop. In many places. the wheat is
down, and the continued rains add to
the injury.
