A Search for Thirty Years.

Light has at last been thrown on q
mystery that has been ineXplicabie for
over thirty years. The developments
are of Il starting nature and concern
man named Griffith, sexton of the First
Presbyterian church, Allegheny, Penn,
who disappeared about that time. lie
was addicted Ia habits of intemperance,
nnd it WAS supposed had run away
from his family and gone to parts un-
known. After these many years it has
been revealed that he was murdered.
The strange story, which comes from
what is considered reliable source. is
as follows: Two butchers. when going
to Pittsburg with their meat in the dead
hour OF the night, in passingan I'D grave
yard on Point of Hill, in Allegheny,
saw a dim light in it. They approached
quietly and saw Griffith in the act of
lifting body out of a grave which he
had opened. One of them took in his
hand piece of board and struck him
blow, the edge hitting him on the head,
splitting the skull. He fell dead on the
body he was stealing. Being alarmed
at what they had done, they concluded
to fiji up the grave on the tow. holding
that the murder would never be known.
In course of time one of the butchers
eft for some other parts and there died.
The other became iissipated. and once
while under the influence of liquor stated
these facts to some friends, who con-
cluded to keep the matter secret, as the
occurrence took place many years ago.
and nothing but trouble could he made
out of il at this late date. This man
died a few years ago, the friends keeping
the secret until tue present time.

Thoroughbred sympatby.

An accident occurred on the Colum
bia river a few days ago which strik-
ingly illustrates the humane instincts
and sympathy that exists in animals.
A number of horses were being con-
veyed on the boat. when, during a COM
motion among them, one was kicked
and had its leg broken. II was de-
cided TO kill the poor brute and put it
out Of its misery. He was dispatched
by an axe in the hands of one OF the
employees of the boat. The celebrated
thoroughbred running stallion Della
ware was quietly watching the move
ment, and just as the blow was struck
he gave loud scream and fell back
ward with shower of blood streaming
from his nostrils. For upward of three
hours his agonies were fearful, and it
was thought hewould die. but he finally
rallied and may recover. Dele
ware Is eighteen years old and has
national reputation, having beaten An
sci and other celebrated champions of
The turf. He Is owned by the Honor
able j. W. Nesmith.-Unioa (Oregon)
Sentissel.

Road Locomotives for the West.

There was recently brought to this
country from England number of road
locomotives consigned to Wadsworth.
Nevada, where they will be employed
in the transportation of minerals and
general merchandise. They are to be
operated in different parts of the State
connecting outlying mining districts
with railroad stations. These steam
wagons weigh about seven tons each.
and are rated Mt from twelve to four
teen horse power. They are fitted to
use any kind of fuel. and in case of need
the road wheels can be replaced with
flange wheels for running on rails.
They also have winding drums at
tachcd to the axle capable of holding
100 yards of coiled rope, for hauling
loads up steep hills. These road en-.
gines, with an engineer and two la5orer-
ers, can haul from ten TO twelve tons OF
paying load on any good roads not steep
or than'one to twelve, and make an aver
age speed of three and one-half miles an
hour. A sixteen-mule team, with a
wagon carrying from six to ten tons,
cannot make an average of more than
two miles an hour. the locomotive
and its train of wagons does not cost
much more than the mule team, and it
can haul freight for from five to ten
cents per ton per mile, which is about
one-fourth as much as the hauling by
mule team costs.

"The SchooImaster is Abr oad."

This well-known and oft-quoted phrase
has a noble origin. 1t is taken from the
following sensible bit of eloquence OF
Lord Brougham. the eminent English
orator:
There have been periods when the
country heard with dismay that the
soldier was abroad. That is not the
case now. Let the soldier be abroad
less important person in the eyes OF
some, an insignificant person, whose la
bors have tended to produce this state
of things. The schoolmaster is abroad!
And trust more to him, armed with
his primer, than do to the soldier in
full military array. for upholding and
extending the liberties of the country.
The adversaries of improvement are.
wont to make themselves merry at what
is termed the march of intellect, ard
here, as far rs the phrase goes, they are
in the right. The conqueror moves in n
march. He stalks onward with the
pride, pomp and circumstances of war,
banners flying, shouts rending the air,
guns laundering and martial music
pealing. to drown the shrieks of the
wounded, and the lamentations of the
slain.
Net thus with the schoolmastcr. in his
peaceful vocation. lIequietly advances
