The entire force attached to Boyd & Peters
circus, to the number OF sixty-one, were ar
rested at Lcesburg, Pa, last Wednesday night
on The charge Of rape, preferred by the father
of Salomi Burkett, the little girl alleged to have
been abducted and outraged by them. The
prisoners were kept under guard at the fair
grounds all night. and last Thursday % were
taken to Grecnsbur-r. Upon their arrival at
that place they were greeted with jeers and
Kisses by the several hundred people congre-
gated to meet them, and tor time it was
feared violence wonld he done the prisoners,
so intense was the feeling against them. Order
was Mt least restored however. and the com
pany we've formed in double file and marched
to the Court House, where Il private hearing
was accorded them, and in default OF bail they
were committed for a further hearing. The
prisoners ard a motley crowd, in all kinds
of costumes, some baiefooted, and among them
are many who are mere boys. The Sheriff
petitioned the Court for additional watchmen to

Seven different cases of murder.

Seven different cases of murder,
sla.c OF them ir rvUlvil, tSo victims each, were
reported in last Thursdays dai.ics Some OF
them appear to have been the work of sudden
frenzy induced by rum, but about others there
was something that had the appearance OF dclb-
erateuess. One man, who killed his brother,
deferred the final deed until after several hours
after receiving any provocation another, after
quarrelling with his wife and mother-in law,
vert out and harncssed his horses before killing
the two women. Evidently the weather, which
for weeks has been damaging the best OF tenn
pers, has been industriously at work on the
worst ones also.

reassuring to those who hope for peace in that

his army" and Turkish troops are under or
ders to proceed to the disputed region in force
decidedly beyond what is necessary for ordi-

Sultan's great neighbors can be depended upon
to prevent this attitude of preparation from
going to its natural end in the precipitation of
hostilities. Russia and Austria simply neu-
traIize one another; Germany stands aside for
fear of France, and France does the same with
Germany in her eye, and England is unwilling
to do alone what she regards as the duty of
all Europe. But though the jealousies of the
Powers enable the Turk to defy for while the
decision reached at Berlin, war; if he should
force it, cannot last many days without inter-

through so prosperous country as some of the

select the school-houses by the entirely neg
lected surroundings and the bleak walls, un-
shaded by single tree. In one instance dis,
trict school-house was seen in a dilapdated
condition, its original cost not amounting to
$500, while two brick barns were in view, each
evidently costing 5000 or $4,000 This con-

farmers of their horses and their children"
The same can be said Of some of the "best

The four LARGEST cities in tht

United States, New York, Philadelphia, Brook
lyn, and Chicago, have total population of
3,II3, ,6s4. In 1870 their population was 2,3i1,-
800 They have, therefore, increased about a
third in the ten years. If they keep up tEis
rate of growth ten years longer, their total pop
ulaiion in 1850 will be over four millions, or
an average of n million each. Yet now the
population of these four cities, OF whose growth
we are so proud, taken together; falls short OF
the population of London alone. Even if we

many people as London contains. If we pat
