A DEATH VALLEY RELIC.
A Masonic En,bIcm RudeIy Gut In Iron

A Masonic Efsfbicm Rudely Gut I'm iron.
]. W. Murphy returned to Independ-
ence few days ago from trip into the
Death Valley region, particularly to
that spot so fraught with sad memories,
on Furnace Cseek, where, says the
Inyo Independent, perished the most
unfortunate party of 40 emigrants.
While searching about among the bits
Of wagon irons scattered about in the
sand aud rocks. Mr. Murphy found one
relic of very peculiar interest. II was
a Masonic emblem-the square and
compass. 1t was lying on the top Of
the largest rock in the immediate viein-
ity, where. without question. it was
carefully placed by some dying aud un.
known hand iull generation ago. In
size the emblem is st inches from point
TO point OF both the square and conf
pass. Though apparently composed OF
iron, it is in an excellent state of pres
ervation, being covered with but a
slight coat OF rust, as might well be tie
case owing to il having lain ON the dry
rock, instead Of in the sand, where 1t
would have long since gone to dust.
Though in proper shape and proper
tons, we'll and strongly made, yet it
evidently originally lacked the finish
suitable for a W. Ms jewel, but which
it doubtless was intended TO represent.
As mere coDjee .ure, it may be as
sumed that the members OF the frater-
nifty with that aud other trans, per-
haps while so long in camp at Salt
Lake. organized Mountain and Val.
ley Lodge aud for that purpose ex-
temporized jewels of iron or other ma
terial, as best they could, OF which this
for the Master alone remaius--a me-
mento OF work begun by true bands
aud held true to tho last, since the
wearer's last thought seems to have
been for the preservation OF his jewel
The relic in qu, stion is now in the Of
tice OF that paper. but BY Mr.. Muir
phys request and desire it will in due
time be sent to the State Mining Bu-
reau, where, it is to be hoped, its pres
ence may awaken the recollection OF
some old pioneer, through whom ITS
history may be brought to light. Mr..
Murphy says that slight blow on any
OF the bits OF wagon iron scattered
about will cause them to fail to pieces,
into Crystals" as be describes it.

That "DOctOred I" Plank.

New Era.
Our playful allusion to the construction
of the tariff plank of the Dem ocratic plat
form, conveying the inference that it
was dOctored after it was sent out, -
has called forth 4 polite note from Chair
man Hensel, assuring us that it was not
doctored, and in simple justice to truth
and himself We state the facts as verified
by investigation. The platform was re-
ported and read fully and correctly and it
SO appeared in the Harrisburg Telegraph
on tho afternoon of the convention
and in the Patriot the next morning,
which printed directly from the pro-
ceedings Of the convention. Mr.. Hen
sci transcribed a copy and furnished it in
advance to Mr.. Hargrave, for the use of
the associated press, from which it was
telegraphed. Examination of that copy by
MIR. Hargrave showed that the error was
entirely due to tho telegraph operators
blunder, and that the Democracy of Penn
sylvania have progressed on the subject of
"sympathy with labor seeking it's protec-
tiOn" and avow themselves in favor of the
protection Ofthe eindustrialinterestso of Penn
sylvania." !" Remembering the traditional
BourbOnism of the party and its deceptive
rallying cry of "POlk, Dallas and the
Tariff of 1S42," it is not surprising that
our associate should have been a little in
credulous in believing that this plank of
the platform was not "doctOred after it
was sent out - but for once the cold fact
is against us, and the New Fra gracefully
makes the amende honorable.

Ram Power

At Patsalaga creek, in Talbot county,
Ca, VIM. Heath was driving a COW and
young calf along the road, and when they
came to the creek the COW stopped in
order to drink. On the opposite side of
the creek and few feet off stood large
ram. As the COW was drinking she would
frequently lift up her head as if she was
uneasy about the calf. The ram took this
as q banter for fight, and walking up
near the COW reared up and gave her a
butt centrally in the head and killed the
COW almost instantly. Mr.. Heath ran up,
thinking that the COW would soon recover,
as he thought she was only stunned, but
in this he was mistaken, as it was death
stroke.

Another great crowd assembled in the
neighborhood of Chestnut street and Lam
caster avenue last evening, in the expecta-
tion of seeing another pyrotechnic display.
During the day the committee having the
exhibition in charge had reconsidered their
determination and had informed the sub.
scribers that tho fireworks would not he
shot off; but the big crowd got so noisy
and importunate that the gentlemen who
controlled the affair, to satisfy the clamor,
were obliged to send off the rockets,
roman candles, mines, ETC., that had been
left over from the preceding night.
The balloons and "fancy pieces" didn't
amount to much, and on the whole the
exhibition was not nearly up to the
high anticipatiOns that had been formed.
Many of the finest pieces We're damp and
would not 60 off at all. We understand
that the committee arc "catching it +"
pretty lively in some quarters for their
failure to carry out the programme an
nOunced, but in view of tho bad weather
and other discouraging circumstances that
interfered the criticisms are hardly fair,
and it is certain that the gentlemen who
projected the enterprise did the best they
could, all things considered.

David Taggart, who presided over tho
last Republican convention at Harrisburg,
has received a formal acceptance of the
nomination for Congress by Marriott Bro

the state headquarters. The letter is in
these words
"Your official notice of my nomination

On the floor of the convention, after the

upon the many evidences of prosperity it

it unites with that commendable trait the
additional virtue of staunch loyalty to
Democratic principles, and is behind none
of its contemporaries in preaching good

its works. Our esteemed and venerable

AFELONlOUS ASSAULT.
iiCx. Leibsiey Hacked With Razors.

Sicx. leibsiey Hacked With Razors.
About o'clock last evening as A!exan.
der Leibsley and his wife were walking
near the corner Of Lime and Lemon street,
they were assaulted by two young men,
who knocked Leibsley down, kicked and
beat him shamcfully, and one Of them with
y razor cut fearful cash across
Jiebslcy's left arm below the elbow, and
another across his right thigh above the
knee. They then ran of. Licbsley and
his wife made out to reach his home in
James street, near North Queen, and DR..
WelchaEs was sent for to dress his wound.
He found that the razor had made clean
cnt three or four inches ill length across
the left arm, passing through the muscles
and ten(ions to the bone, and barely mis-
sing the principal artery. A very similar
cut, only larger aud deeper, was across the
outside OF the right thigh. These gaping
wounds were sewed up, and though Lieb-
sley lost great deal Of blood, his cOndix
tion is not considered dangerous.
The two young men engaged in this
brutal assault were soon afterwards taken
into custody by Alderman Samson. near
the Pennsylvania railroad depot, and
handed over to Officer Herr, who locked
them up. One Of them is John Ernst. the
SOC of a respectable merchant ON West
King street. The other at first gave his
as Harry johnson, then as Harry HOltOn,
of Philadelphia, but finally acknowledged
that his name is Harry Vittle, that he bo-
longs to Sprinsville, this county, and has
been working at cOachmaking for
Samuel Baily, Of this city. The young
men claim that Liebsley was drunk and
assaulted them before they assaulted him.
Ernst declares that he bad no weapon, and
only defended himself against Liebsley
and kicked him when he was down. Wit
tie at first denied the cutting but finally
confessed that he did it with his razor,
but only acted in self-defense. Ernst was
released Oh giving $500 bail, which was
furnished by his father. Mr.. Eaily came
down to offer bail for Wi:tie, but when he
learned that he had lied SO badly about the
case, he declined to bail him. Alderman
Samson has fixed the hearing for saturday
evening next, when further developments
arc promised Neither Of the young men

A Mean Acf.

On Sunday valuable horse belonging
to Levi Hailstock was taken sick, and it
was believed that it had been poisoned.
An antidote was administered and the
horse vomited lot of Paris green. This
morning the animal died from the effects.
Mr.. Hailstock is poor man and very in
dustrious and loss like this falls very
heavily upon him. It is believed that the
poison was fed the anima! by some mali
cious persons.
