Bessie Beech At Home.

Tho reception at Mrs Linc0ln'S tuesday
night was most pleasant, as her entertain
ments always are. The programme, which
was replete with good things, was opened
by song from DIR. Ander in a perfect voice
and imperfect English that made the music
even sweeter, but sadly interfered with the
words. This gentleman sang, by request
also Mrs. Lincolns beautiful "Star of
Light and the exquisite air, which was
composed by Professor Sousa, received full
justice in his rendition. A humorous poem,
by Mr.. j Il. McCreery, was next in order, fol-
lowed by an essay from the hostess. Major
Powell was present and gave q talk about
the Colorado River, which held the COM
pany breathless at some of the thrilling sit
uations, to be relieved, when it all came
right, by an actual cheer, of parlor proper
tions, however. Miss Larzelere gave a
whistling solo to the establishment of the
company, escaping the fate predicted by the
old saw about whistling girls aud growing
hens by accompanying her indiscretion (?)
on the piano in superb instrumental
performance also. The lady was
encored, whistled again, and after
ward gave piano solo with
out the bird-like accompaniment that
would have done credit to professional.
Mrs. and Miss Murphy gave an instru-
mental duet that was most brilliant, when
AloiSoaoi DldhOudiuy VI SoiiCSO,
Illinois, gave little parting speech and
withdrew. Next were nibblings-"J Of
all Trades and last, though not least, a
ballad by Madame Logan; and to encores
good-natured song or two more.
This lady was in fine voice, and
for one, l was glad no other lady
sang, for the thin milk and
water of most of them would have been
very unpalatable after the generous wine
of the handsome Logan. Among the many
present were Judge and Mrs. Fitzpatrick,
Mrs. Major Dinwiddie, Mr.. and Mrs. Trem-
bly,, Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Boyer
dora Dormouse), Mrs. Gillis. of Rich
mond, Va; Mrs. Morrell, Mr.. Paxton,

Died Alone.

WELLsvILLE, o., February 6.-Our town
was shocked to learn that l.. r. O'Neal,
prominent confeciioner and baker, was
found dead in bed, having been dead for an
unknown length of tine. He was single
man, living by himself. For some time past
he had been subject TO occasional choking
spells, which convulsed him terribly. He
had one of these spells Friday afternoon,
and his friends rather anticipated his TAX
ing off in one OF these spells some time,
but not so soon. He was last seen Sat
urday evening, when he was about
attending to business d1ties. About
eight o'clock Yesterday morning
parties sought entrance, but all
vas locked up. A man climbed TO roof
of a shed and looked into his bedroom. and
saw him lying on the bed, but no noise
could arouse him. The door was at once
broken in, and he was found dead. An in
Guest and post mortem examination was
held, at which il was ascertained that his
death resulted from an enlargement OF the
hesrt, caused by ossifca,ion of the valves
OF the heart Friends from Steubenville
took the remains home. The funeral will
take place tomorrow, many Masons from
this place expecting 10 attend. Deceased
was q respected member OF the Episcopa-
lian Church.

Labor Trouble.

EAST LIVERPOOL, February 6.-We had a
quite talk with }. ID. Hughs, statician OF
this district of the X. OF L., last Saturday.
He thought if the bosses understood the
mission of their order that they would en-
pIoy none but Knights, said that terrible
revolution was passing over our country,
and would be upon us in few months.
Nihilists and socialists would rise up and
murder capitalists and burn and plunder
their property until they would be glad to
seek the protection of the Knights; that
the object of the latter was 10 protect
the property of their employer and keep
in subsection just such men as cost
Pittsburgh millions of money in 1877, and
that event was but the little cloud that
preceded the fearful storm that would
sweep our couutry from the Atlsutic to
the Pacific The bosses are hostile to US
and condemn us without hearing. They
will not listen to our representative men,
who call on them to explain the object of
our organization and are afraid to meet
them in debate ON the question OF Labor
and its Rights TO Organize When the
trouble comes they will have none to blame
but themselves. The masses OF the n. OF
l.. =" said he, do not know the grand miss
ion they are destined to perform, and will
not know until that terrible day comes
when they will be called on 70 act.

A Serpent OF an Unknown Species At
iacks and Seriously Injuries an Ohio
Farmer.
WEST CARLISLE, o., February .6.-JOhn
Simmons prominent farmer near here,
while out hunting with Mr.. Samuel Well
ing, met with most strange and singular
accident, which may cost him his life.
Simmons was walking within few feet of
an old stump, from which serpent OF pro-
digioue size leaped out and attacked him.
The monster coiled itself around its victim,
whose cries for help soon brought Mr..
yelling to the rescue, who, seeing Sim
mons danger, drew pOcketknlfe
and vigorously attacked the reptile,
which became ehraged and sank
it's poisonous fangs in Mr.. Simmons help
less BODY, but yelling finally succeeded in
killing the monster by cutting it in several
pieces. After despatching the snake Mr..
yelling picked up the almost lifeless re-
mains of Simmons and conveyed him
home, where medical attendance soon ar
rived. Simmons body in short time be-
came swollen to enormous proportions
from the wounds inflicted by the serpents
fangs, and il is feared he may not recover,
as he was bitten in several places. The
physicians are applying caustics and doing
all in their power to save the poor victim.
The serpent which attacked Mr.. Simmons
is OF species altogether unknown in this
section, and is larger than any ever seen
here. 1t certainly showed remarkable vi
tality for a cold day.

CURED BY PRAYER.
a Woman Claiming 10 Have Recovered
Her Health Through n Miracle.

DOYLEsTowN, Pa, February 6.-The little
village of ChalfOnt, about four miles west
of this town, is gOssiping about what its
residents call a miracle. The miracle IS the
reported cure of young woman named
Ella Ebert daughter of Gottleib Ebert, by
what is known as the faithCCre. She has
been an invalid for more than two years.
Disease had made her aphysical wreck and
lie was apparently burden. For months
she was not able 10 rise from her sick bed
Several physicians we're called to treat her
case, but none afforded her more than tenn
porary relief. Her malady was called con-
sumption of the lungs Oy some and spinal
disease by others.
Last week the invalid expressed belief
that ste could be cured by prayer, and her
friends accordingly took steps 10 hold a
special prayer meeting at the Ebert resi-
dence. At the appointed hour, , o'clock
last Tuesday, four members OF her church
assembled and engaged in earnest petitions
for her recovery. Presently the sick wO-
man showed signs of regaining strength,
arose from her bed, dressed and joined in
supplcatien. Since then she is said to be
slowly recovering. This is the second cure
Of this kind reported lately in this county.
This one is regarded by the residents of the
neighhOrhOOd rs very remarkable.

TO BE INVESTIGATED.
The We'll and La Abra Mining Compa
ny Claims.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-The diplo-
matte correspondence between the Mexi-
can Minister and the State Department
concerning the claims of Benjamin We'll
and the La Abra Mining Company, alleged
TO be fraudulent, is made public These
claims aggregated 81 200, 900, payable under
the treaty Of 1868 in fourteen annual in
stalmentS, commencing January 81, 1877
and it is proposed by the treaty now pend
ing in the Senate to submit them
to re-trial. The correspondence
shows that the attention of
the State Department was early called
to the fraudulent nature of the testimony
upon which the claims were allowed and
that urgent demands were made upon Mr.
Evarts, then Secretary Of State, by Mexico's
representative to withhold the payment OF
the first instalments of the award until op-
portunity could be given to establish the
frauds charged. This, however, Mr.. Evsrts
declined TO do. Subsequent correspond
ence with Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen was had in reiteration of the allega-
tiOns of fraud made by Mexico, which re-
suited in the treaty referred to.
