From a neighbOr it was learned that
Brucker had acted strangely for some
time, and this morning, after quarreling
with his wife had disappeared. Upstairs

children, the wife was found. She denied
that her husband had ill-treated her, as did
the older child, a boy. At the hospital, at
a late hour, it was ascertained that the
dead man had worn ling bearing the
name of Charles Brucker.

1877, 1878 and 1879. The 1877 crop con-
sisted of 115 cases of very fine wrappers
and had been held at 90 cents, we believe,
at which price it was until lately above the
market. The 1878 crop was the product
of 30 acres. The 1879 tobacco was large
and fine. but badly hail-cut.

ASSESSMENT APPEALS.

A Warm limo Before the Commissioners.
This morning the county commissioners
heard appeals by property owners of the
First and Third wards, city, and the
, borough of Marietta, from the increased
\ valuation put upon their properties by the
county commissioners. There were quite
number of appellants in attendance.
most of whom were owners of valuable
properties. Some of them were represent
ed by counsel, and all insisted that the
assessment was too high. The greatest
number of appellants were from the First
ward. 1t will be recollected that when the
several assessors of the wards and town.
ships returned their books to the county
commissioners and the boarG found that
the valuation had been SO much decreased
that the rate OF taxation would have to be
increased to raise enough revenue
for county purposes, they made general
revision of the assessment and directed the
assessors of the several wards of the city
and of some of the country districts to add
an average of six per cent. to the valua-
ton as returned by them. All of the city
assessors did SO except Mr.. Welchans, of
the First ward, who refused to change his
figures. The commissioners themselves re-
viSed his book, added an increased valua-
tion to several of the valuable prop
critics which they believed to be assessed
entirely too low, and then added eight per
cent, valuation to all the prOpert les in the
ward. As only six per cent had been
added by the commissioners to the valu-
alton of property in the other wards the
ire OF the First warders was raised, several
meetings were held within few days past
to devise means to secure redress of their
grievances and as above stated they ap-
peared before the commissioners in force this
morning. In few instances where injus-
tice appeared to have been done, the COM
mssioners lowered the valuation, and in
about half dozen other cases took OFF the
eight per cent they had added. In the
main their increased valuation was ad-
hercd to-
BLAINE AND BAYARD.
Presidential Preferences at Franklin and
Marshall.
\ careful canvass of the students as to
their first choice for president has been
made with the following result: In the
Senior class, which contains twenty three
men, there are l3 for Blaine, 5 for Bayard,
:, for Tilden, for Seymour, for Randall,
and 1 having no political proclivities.
In the Junior class, which contains
fifteen men, there arc 10 for Blaine, 1 for
Grant, 3 for Bayard. and for Seymour.
In the Sophomore class, containing %
men, there are 10 for Blaine, Is for Bay
ard, for Seymour, and for the best
man.
lin the Freshman class, containing IA
men. there are ) for Blaine, 3 for Bayard
and for Tilden.
From the above it will be seen that the
Republican students in the college are unan-
imous for Blaine excepting one, whose
iirst choice is Grant.
The Democrats are divided AS follows
% for Bayard, , for Tildcn, , for Seymour
and for Randall.
Many Republicans declare that they
will not support Grant if nominated. Til
den is the second choice of about one third
of the Democrats.

To-day is payday on the Pennsylvania
railroad. The pay car reached this city
about 2 o'clock this afternoon and found a
large number of employees in waiting for
their wages. 1t took less tl.an ten min
utes to pay them off, and the car then
sped on towards Columbia. The usual
route of the pay Car, we are told, is to
leave Philadelphia in the morning, run west
as far as Waynesburg, then up the Waynes-
burg branch to New Holland, then back
to the main road and west as far as Pom
eroy, down the Pomeroy branch, and return
to the main road, then west to Columbia,
south to Port Deposit and back through
Columbia to Harrisburg and return oia the
Mount Joy branch, to Lancaster, and
thence to Philadelphia. The trip occupies
less than two days.

TIE arrivals of steamers at this port from Odessa are few and far between, and for that reason they are of more than ordinary interest. The "Elphin- stone" winch left that port December Sd, brings a large cargo of old railroad iron and rope. When in Odessa she was the only vessel loading with iron, but We are informed that some 25,00o tons were waiting to be shipped to the United States The "Elphinstone" also brings 3,400 tons of large-sized rope on speculation. This rope, it is said, was purchased from the Russian government at triling cost, and the shipper, paying about q a ton freight, expects to realize a handsome profit on his investment here. Odessa, it is said, shows but few indications of the rayages of the recent war, and commercially it appears to be more prosperous than before. The amount of shipping there is very large, and the exports of grain, notwithstand- ing the powerful competition of this country, continue on a large scale. Better accommodations have recently been provided for tonnage, which for that reason is. drawn in largervolume to the Port.-N X Ba!Ialin. '&-t-

She thcn be- comes entitled to fixed income from the society, and to apartments in a large building of the association, which is surrounded by gardens and park.

A detachment of troops bonnd for General Lazaroff's expedition against the Turcomans, met with curious mis- adventure near the Georgian town of Elizavctopol. At a few V ersts from the town tho soidiers encountered the wing of an army of locusts, reputed to be 20 miles in length and broad in proportion. The officer in charge did not like to turn back, repelled By mere insects, and, pushing on, soon became surrounded by the loeusts. These appear to have mis- taken the soldiers for trees, and swarmed by thousands around them, crawling over their bodies, lodging themselves in their helmets, penetrating their clothes

Causes of Duols.

The old story of.he Irishman who called a man out for expressing disbelief in his having seen anchovies growing on a tree, and when his opponent lay wounded on the ground repentantly owned to sudden ly remembering it was capers he meant, may be an invention, but duels have been fought for equally trivial reasons. One of the members of Louis XVIIl's body guard fought three timesin one day; first with gentleman who had offended by looking askew at him; next, with one who had looked him hard in the face; and thirdly with stranger who had passed
 by without deigning to look at him at all.
