"A Story of Henry Clay.

Boston Traveller,
When Henry Clay ran, for the first time,
for Congress, he was billed to address an
assembly in the open air. A vast crowd
had convened to hear the young orator,
and conspicuous above all rose the tall form
of Jim Burnim, a rough, with an unenvia-
viable reputation and a great personal en-
emy of Clay's, owing to repeated defeats
sustained by him from Clay in his political
aspirations. When Clay had commenced his
address Burnim placed himself directly
opposite to HIM in the crowd and annoyed
the speaker continually by Interruptions
and personal remarks, but chiefly by hiss
ing every good point Clay produced.
No matter how smooth and lucid his
streams of OratOry might be, or how fOrci-
BILE his argument, Burnim was ready at the
fms with his insulting hiss This con-
tinucd until Clay could stand it no longer
and when, after particularly pungent
thrust at the morality of the Anti Federal
lists. he was greeted with the indomitable
silent howl of Burnim he turned savagely
to him and with flashing eyes delivered
this cutting speech:
"Mr. Burnim, when your last hour has
come and your evil, sinful soul has sought
the dark shades of hell when standing
there before its sulphurous gates, your
spirit, charred with sin, awaits admittance,
Satan, glowing in his crimson majesty,
shall ask vassals gathered around him
who it is that, stands outside his portals,
and when he's told that you are there he'll
rise, and, with a look of dark disgust, cry
to his waiting menials: 60. take the
slave and burn him till he hiss"

VIM. Terriu, aged 70, a pauper at the
town farm of Corinth, VT, was murdered,
yesterday morning by Aaron Ferrin, an
other pauper, aged rs, who nearly severed
his head from his body with an axe and
afterward cut his own throat. Ferrin was
evidently insane. He left note saying he
had to kill Terrill because he received
more attention that himself, and that he
must afterwards either kill himself or be
hung.
About month ago the residence of
William Worrell, near Claysville, was
burned. The fact that it was an incendi-
ary fire was evident then, but other par
ticulars of q startling character have been
developed recently. 1t seems James WOr-
rell, son of VIM. Worrell, was engaged in
Washington county, but not having the
means to marry on, he undertook to de-
stroy his father and sister that he could
come into possession of the property and
realize his wishes. Before setting fire to
the house he locked his sister in one room
and tied his father in another. Fortunate
ly servant discovered them in time to
save their lives. Young Worrell is twenty
one years of age, highly educate d and the
family are highly respected.

Republicans In Philadelphia Organizing
Against the Grant Movement.
A halt in the third term business is
about to be called in Philadelphia which,
if disregarded by the Grant managers, will
prove rock upon which the Grant party
in the state will he stranded. An
anti-third term organization has
lust been formed there under the
name of the National Republican
League. Its members comprise many
of the wcalthiest and most intelligent Re-
publicans of the city, and it is their inten-
ton soon to call mass meeting at the
Academy of Music of Republicans opposed
to third term for Grant. At that meet
ing steps will be taken to put an anti-third
term ticket in the field. This ticket will
embrace candidates for each senatorial
and legislative district in the city candi-
dates for district attorney, comptroller,
coroner and clerk of sessions, an anti
Grant electoral ticket and anti
Grant candidates for Congress. At the
election Tuesday Independent Republican
tickets were run in seven of the twenty
six wards that elect cOuncilmen. These
Independent tickets aggregated about g.
500 votes, and if the Same result were
reached in each of the thirty-one wards in
the city it would give the anti-Grant
ticket $1,000 votes next NOvember-or
fully half of the entire Republican vote.
The anti Grant spirit is aroused in Phila-
delphia. and unless Grant is set aside
there will be political funeral. ut which
the only mOurncrs will be the third term

Death OF John !Styer.

John Styer. one OF the most prominent
and popular residents Of Earl township,
died at his home in New Holland this
morning, in the 18th year of his age, after
a severe and protracted illness. Some
years ago Mr.. Styer was stricken with
paralysis, which partially disabled him
and more recently he suffered from stran-
gulated hernia which finally resulted in his
death. Mr.. Styer was born in East Earl
township and passed the greater part of
his life in the vicinity of New
Holland. In his early life he
was successful cattle dealer. Later
he built the Styer house in New Holland,
and for many years was its proprietor. He
was capital landlord, kept tirst-class
house, and was great favorite with all his
guests. He was one of the most active
workers and liberal subscribers to the fund
for the construction OF the New Holland
and Waynesburg branch OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. He was always among the
foremost in forwarding any project for the
benefit of New Holland. In all the rcl;,-
tions of life, whether in busines, society or
the family, he was a large hearted, unscl-
fish and exemplary man. He was twice
married. His last wife, Mrs. Henry Bru-
baker, nee Sprecher, and several children
survive him.

ted gendarme chorus in one of the bright
est of our modern French operas. 1t will
doubtless become ono of the popular airs
of the opera. Another Of the same kind
achieved an immediate success and was
imperatively re-demanded. One of the
verses runs as follows
sERa.-when the enterprisins burglars not a

SERG-when the cutthroat isn't occupied in
ALL pied in crime;
sERa.-He loves to hear the little brook a-gur

SERG-The policeman's lot is not happy one

As indicated ut the outset of this article
the possibilities of the opera were not fully
brought out. The only individual voice
which we feel at liberty to unreservedly
commend is Miss Minnie Walsh's, who, as
Ma6el, was as pretty and engaging hero
inc as could be desired, and her voice is of
excellent compass and texture, here stac-
| cato notes being true as 4 bell,
and her execution of the difficult solo
in which she first appears on the scene
bringing down the house in 4 deserved en-
| core. She scored the success of the even
ing. Owing to the sudden illness of the
lady cast for the part of Ruth, the prac-
teal maid-ofall-work, the manage
ment were compelled to make substitu-
tion for that character, and it need only be
said that it was an unfortunate one,
and on several occasions came
near mixing matters hopele ssly. Mr.
Browne, as the Pirate King, was
only moderately good, and The tenor,
MIR. Paxton, as Frederic, found
hard work in meeting the requirements of
| the score, owing to the limited compass of
his voice. Mr.. Jones, as .Mjor- General
Stanley, gave satisfactory rendition
| of the part. The chorus was strong. accu-

excellent, and taken all together the pro
ductiOn of the opera constituted a very
pleasing event in the present amusement
