NEEGHBORHO0D NEWS,

On Friday June 10th, Mr.. a, j +.
Smith, living near Cherry Run,
Morgan county, while out hunting
killed two.arge wild turkeys, three
squirrels, and while after a rabbit in
a hollow log, was bitten on the fore
finger of the right hand sy copper
head snake. He had big day.
experience.
Wilson Fields and George Scott,
two colored men belonging to the
Old,town section of Cumberland :,
Md. became involved in a quarrel
on Saturday evening about a bet at
horse race in the afternoon. Scott
seemed DESTROYS of avoiding q fight
and retreated, when Fields struck
at him. A second blow was passed,
when Scott returned terrible blew
under the jaw, knocking Fields
backwards. He then followed up
the blow, kicking the PROSTATE man
in the chest ahd face and head
Fields lay motionless, and after one
or two gasps expired. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict that the death
was caused by George Scott, by in
flicting kick which broke Fields
ribs and produced paralysis of the
heart. The deceased owned a farm
and supported large family of
children, including five small ones
who have no mother Scott has
been committed for trial, and his
plea will probably be self-defence.
A father and sons tragic death
occurred at Frederick, Nd, on Mon
day. Michal j Haustien and Mich
ael Ii. Haustien, father and son,
were removing an old pump-stock
from we'll on Patrick street,
when they were overcome by gas--
and falling into the water, were
drowned. The son was down the
well at the time. and the father, who
was on the surface, passed him IA
chain to place around the stock of
the pump. Suddenly the son was
seen to fall ON his face in the bot
tom of the well, evidently overcome
by gas. The father, without hesita-
ton, jumped down the shaft to the
rescue, and grasping the PROSTATE
body, commenced swimming around
in the water, which was about
twenty feet deep. = The deadly gas,
however, quickly overcome him, and
dropping the body Of his son, he
struggled feebly for a few seconds,
when he also disappeared beneath
the surface. The alarm was quickly
given, but when the bodies were got
ten out life was extinct. The elder
man was SO yeas old |, and the younger
35. They were both married, and
each leave several small children.

edthe slaughter. Thisis the price, or a part

ner, or the attempt made to so establish
them, and their advent has been uniform
ly followed by bitter strife and the she'd
ding of blood. BY admitting. as you do,
that men have not only the right to hold
their peculiar religious or irreligious be.
llefs but to have them represented in the
government, you concede that all these
religious wars, assassinations, executions,
robberies, prescriptions and prosecutions,
with their long train OF attendant misery,
which stain the history of England, were
unnecessary and ineXcusable. They were
unnecessary and inexcusablc; the exclu.
sion of Mr.. Bradlaugh from the Parlia.
ment to which he was duly elected is
wrong; and tue sympathy Of all God.fear-
ing men with that wrong is but the latest
exhibition Of the overzealous and intole-

reason Of men that they torture and kill
their brothers, even the children Of the
God whom they pretend to serve by their
cruelties.

because they dispute the soundness of a
dogma; we have brushed away something
of the mist of superstition in which men
lost the light of justice and froze their
sense Of pity, while fighting fercely for
God who could not but repudiate their bar
barities; but that a little Of the haze and
hate remain is seen in the attitude Of the
British parliament in the case of the inf

Christian world with its intolerance.

from the great sages Of the world who in
all historic ages have taught brotherly
love and kindness; observe it in the works
of the God whom you libel, where the
lily and the thistle grow side by side in
amity; adore the Deity with meekness and
point humility, and let your good deeds

the sinner thither with scourge and brand

If the murders, suicides, and assassin
atoms Of the past year have any signifi-
canoe, it is that disregard for life Is in
creasing. There is an idea abroad that
blood and death is the only punishment
for crime. What satire is the fact of q
strong guard being necessary to preserve
Guiteau from mob law and justice! The
people who are constantly clamoring for
Gulteau's life, and wishing for some
unheard of vengeance, certainly do not
realize that they are adding fuel 10 the
fame of bloodshed. A few days ago a
large bomb was found on the road where
it was supposed that Guiteau would pass,
and it 10 believed that the bomb was
intended for the destruction of the assas-
sin. So much has been said about what
terrible punishment should be inflicted,
that it is no wonder that some one may
conceive 1t his duty to clothe the senti.
ment with the deed. Punishment con.
trarY to law is not punishment, and no
one should wish it. 1t contributes d.
rectly TO disregard for lie, and induces
belief in private vengeance.

The democrats are fusing with some.
thing IN most Of the states. In Virginia
they have divided into two wings, tie
bourbon and the Malone readjusters
1t Is difficult to decide wheth er the
republicans will fuse with the democrats,
or vice uersa. 1t is conceded, however, that
the republicans are weak, and that the vic.
tory will be with the bourbons or readjust-
ers. The party lines will be loosely drawn,
and the fight be made on the question Of
reputation. The bourbons claim to be
the party Of honesty; yet it is not appar-
ent how they can pay the debt, inasmuch
as they are pledged rot to increase the
taxes. The bourbon is the old line dem.
ocrat who wishes to pay the state debt
at the peril of the public schools. The
readjuster IS genuine democrat who
wishes to build up the schools, put the
debt on an equitable basis, and pay it in
the future.
