cured and the grey hair restored to its

A Startling Affair at Marcus
Hook.

Tuesday evening the Inhabitants of
the town of Marcus Hook were S art
led when it became known that the head
aud skull of child had been found in a.
coal bin covered over by an old kettle.
The gentleman who discovered it hidden
in one corner of the bin, says That the
skull is apparently that of Child about
eight years OF age. The head must have
been cut off from the body, as the flesh
under the chin was partly dried and in
state of preservation, but the other por-
tions of the head were entirely decompos-
ed. From all appearances it could not
have been there more than month. Ii
may lie probable that the remains are
still concealed on the premises.
The skull is in possession of a gentle
man doing business in Marcus Hook.
The legal authorities should investigate

HE COMES NEAR BEING LYNCHED FOR
AN INDECENT ASSAULT ON GIRL.
WHEELING, w. Va, July 14.-Al-
though West Virginia is famous for mob
violence, the latest attempt at lynching
in this state is the most sensational that
ever occurred here. On Wednesday last
q negro boy named John Briggs, aged
seven years, who lives in Raymond
city, Putnam county, was arrested and
placed in Jail on charge of attempting
to commit rape on little white girl
six years old. The testimony against the
boy was very strong. The girl was bad
ly cut in several places on her face and
neck aud showed marks of asevere beat
ing with a switch, all of which she said
was done by Briggs. Late at night it
was rumored about the village that a
large party of men had determined to
lynch the negro at once. The jailer ap-
piled to the sheriff for aid, and a number
of special con tables were hastily sworn
in to defend the Jail When the mob ar
rived they found that if they attempted
to carry out their designs there would be
a bloody fight. They thereupon held a
formal meeting, and the chairman de-
liberately put the question as to whether
they should proceed. The voting was
done by ballot and resulted in forty-five
against and forty-one for lynching. At
ter making q slight attempt to persuade
the constables to admit them the mob
dispersed and went home. The boy
Briggs is still in Jail.

No Help for MIR. Spencer.

As stated in the GAZETTE, few days
ago, the case of Joel Spencer, a veteran
ofthe war of 1872, was placed in the
hands of Esquire E. b. Frazer with a
view securing for him, if possible, an in
crease of pension. Mr.. Frazer wrote to
Geo. E. Lemon pension and claim agent,
at Washington, but from the answer to
his letter, which is given below, it will
be seen that Mr. Spencer can receive no
further aid from the Government, and
that he will have to depend largely upon
the charitable people OF the eommunity
The letteris as follows:
