From CONFLUENCE.

John Stahl. of Somerset, on the llth inst,
was instantly killed by falling tree, about
five miles south of this place under circum-
stances as follows: James Bowlin, yOung
man of about twenty-three years of age,
was engaged in telling tree in reach of the
public road. and when the tree was about
to fall he heard the chatter of wheels. and
looking in that direction saw a man ap-
preaching in buggy He instantly called
to him to stop, but the man came on as if
unconscious Of any alarm and drove under
the falling tree, and he and his horse were
instantly killed. Ii is said that Mr. S;ahl
was defective in hearing and sight, on ac-
count of age, which will account for the
singular circumstance. Mr. ). was well and
favorable known throughout the county on
acronnt of his moral rectitude and noble
Christian character, and while his friends
deeply regret the circumstance of his death
he has gone to the reward OF the Just, and
they have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity. "
DR. Stahl was the father-in-law of MessrS.
J. b. Snyder and II. C. Beerits, two of our
most prominent business men. His re-
mains were brought 70 Somerset on the mail
train on Wednesday afternoon, and after
funeral services held at the late residence of
the deceased, were inferred in the cemetery.

A CoNsCIENcE-S -SMITTEN WRETCH.-We take
the following account of the attempt to
commit suicide of the self-confessed muir
derer of ]. Marshall Mitchell from the Con-
nellsville Courier. At the hearing in SOM
erset two weeks ago. il was the general be-
lief of those who saw Roach and heard him
on the witness stand that his conscience
would give him no rest. and that he would
his own miserable life, which he forfeit
ed to the law by his foul act some ten years
ago. The following shows that they were
correct in their surmises:
On last Tuesday evening, about half past
eleven O'Clock, the peaceful little village of
Indian Creek was wrought to an unusually
hight pitch Of excitement by an attempt on
the part of . conscience-stricken individual,
named John Roach, to commit suicide. 1t
will be remembered this same Roach had
hearing at Somerset last week on charge
of murder, based on confession made 10 q
police officer in New Jersey some time since,
IERs last issue. The facts in relation to the
attempted suicide are these: At the time
mentioned above one of the night watch
men, while patroling his beat, discovered a
man sitting on rock in the river, at q point
just above the telegraph Office, whom he
supposed to be fisherman. Upon accost-
ing him the inan began throwing stones
and swearing in an excited manner. The
wstchman, desirous of knowing something
further of this man of strange conduct, af-
ter much coaxing induced him to come
ashore, assuring him he would meet with
no bodily harm. Upon a closer inspection
he was found to be almost nude, having
torn his shirt in strips and wound them
tightly around his neck, and his hat and
shoes were missing. After some interroga-
ton by the &atchman, he repeated the story
of how he and a confederate hid done
man to death in Ursina years ago, and that
the ghastly face OF the victim, though hid
den from the rest of the world in an OBJ
scure grave near where he was so foully
murdered, still haunted him until life was a
burden too grievous to be borne; that he
was weary of the world, and that he would
quit it before the dawn OF another day.
When he finished his story he broke away
from his auditor, ran TO the river bank and
jumped from precipice thirty feet high in
to the water, from which he was taken in
an almost dying condition. He recovered
however, and was allowed TO depart on
Wednesday morning, since when nothing
has been heard OF him. Roach's mind is
undoubtedly shaken, probably by the re-
membrance of his crime committed long
ago, and there is every reason Ia believe that
If he has not already done 80 he will assur-
edly take his own life, and, although JUS
tice through the medium Of the law has
failed to reach him. iiis self-destruction will
prove the truth Of the old adage-"Punish-
ment, though lame of foot, hath seldom
failed 10 oyertake a villain

The Chicago Times recently published 4
lengthy article on the condition of the crops
for the present year, from which the follow
ing summarized Statement is taken The
corn crop of the United States in 1850 was

duction from the crop of the previous year
In 1881 the crop fell to l,l94, ,9l6, 900 bushels

Last yer the wheat crop of Iowa was over
eighteen million bushels, or about half
what it was in 1880 This year it will prob

one-half what it was the year before. This
year the indications are that the crop viii

on the luck the farmers have in harvesting,

million bushels of wheat, and this year

IL may not be generally known that salt
is an excellent preserver of timber from dry
rot The props and galleries of the great
salt mines in Poland and Hungary are found
TO endure for ages without any apparent de-
cay. Wooden piles driven into salt marshes
last far longer than those driven into fresh
water mud; and experiments have been
made which show that dry rot may even be
checked after it has begun, by immersion of
the infected wood in salt water. In many
countries the custom prevails of soaking
logs in the sea before saving them up. es-
pecially logs of hard timber, such as oak,
elm, and ash, with view to render the
wood more durable.
