FROM the PittsDurg Telegraph.
Since Jesse James received his quietus
and Frank James reformed and became a
Missouri politician, the only hero of the
dime novel kind left is Abe Buzzard, the
desperate OF the Welsh mountain in Ian.
caster county, Pennsylvania. He is not
much to boast over, as his triumphs rarely
rise above hen roost or county store,
but he cuts great figure before the imag.
ination as he stalks through the Businesses
with his repeating rifle, making VOWS never
to be taken alive. He asserts, as
the James boys used to, that
he wants to lead an honest life, but the
community will not allow him. The trouble
Is that he and the community cannot agree
az to what is an honest life, just as the
James boys aad the railroad companies
could not. The community will probably
consent to let Abe return to civilized life II
he will agree not to take up politics as his
profession and proceed todefeat cand idates
for Congress as Frank James did. There
are Buzzards enough In Lancaster county

Of general interest and he failed to see
the point In making him say and do
things which he bad never said or done,
unIsss, perhaps, the newspaper man was
seeking to test his skill at foretelling the

amazed at the eroundless sketch of the

and easier to write his tale in

p. m, Thursday, in the house of Stephen
Young, in Strafford, whereby eight per
sons were injured, four probably fatally.
Mr.. Young was having q we'll dug near his
house and had used powder for blast
ing. This proving Intellectual on account
of the excessive hardness of the rock,
a nephew, George Young, OF Lowell,
who was visiting him, procured guam
tity of dynamite. He had the cartridges
in the house and was explaining the mode
of operating them when in some way one
exploded and ignited the whole lot. There
was also quantity Of gun powder in the
house, said to be two kegs. This also
exploded. The injured are Stephen Young,
Geo. Young, ayouDg man named Berry, q
young man named Foss, a daughter of Mr..
Young, Miss Sadie Greenfield, of Roches-
ter, who was calling at the house, and
two young ladies whose names are not

er, who was recently arrested on q very

suIllyan's Bodx Not Resnrreeted.

The report which has widely circulated
IN Salem, N. j., aud published in the
Philadelphia afternoon papers OF Thursday
that the body of Howard sullivan, the
negro murderer Of Ella Wateou. has bcen
stolen from the grave by ghouls from one
of the Philadelphia medical colleges, is
untrue. The grave shows that it had not
been disturbed. The cemetery where the
body is buried is on lonely road, ten
miles from Salem, aud there is but one
house within a mile of the place. What
gave rise to the rumor that the grave had
been desr ,iled was that the occupant of
this house on Tuesday night saw two
carriages drive up to the cemetery. The
several occupants alightd, inspected the
Genet sry and its surroundings and then as
mysteriouly disappeared. 1t is thought
that the party was planning for another
visit, when they would resurrect the
murderer's body. County officials are
guarding the cemetery.

Dead or in . france.

Last Monday morning Mrs Nancy Rice,
very fat lady, wife Of John Rice, of
Cisnas Run, Perry county, was polishing
her shoes preparatory to a visit to Logs
vile, the market town, when she suddenly
toppled over and died in o few minutes.
The county surrounding her husbands
home is thickly populated and tho greatest
excitement has prevailed since the woman 6
dcath, as she was the picture of robust
health. By many the woman is thought
to be in trance. In fact, ON this point
the community is about equally divided,
and as consequence tho interment of the
body has been delayed and watchers for
the return OF the VITAL spark kept in CON-
slant at sndsuce at the side of the corpse.
The opinion of the family physician, that
the woman is dead, has not been allowed
to prevail against the prejudices of ma
jority of the neighbors.

U. 3. Geological Survey Of Mis-

Prof. LAWRENCE 9. JOHNSON, AS
sistant Geologist in the U. S. Geo
logical Survey, writes. as follows
from Washington, May Goth, to the
State Exposition Commissioner for
Mississippi:
"lt is a pleasing task, and respon-
sive to your wishes as l understand
them, to apprise you that the Direc-
tor of the Survey has ordered me first
to Mississippi, to aid you in any way
in my power while prosecuting my
official work. l will give ten days
to Benton county, and devote par
ticular attention to procuring you
specimens of fine white limestone.
From Benton county l will go to
Baldwin, which will be my head
quarters for Geological work for
some days. While there l will de-
vote attention to the rocks, kaoline,
ETC., of Tishomingo county. After
finishing my work in the Northeast
ern portion of the State I will go to
the Chickasawhay and Vicksburg."
Prof. Johnson is himself Missis-
sippian, from Holly Springs, and is
probably the best informed man liv-
ing with regard to the geology and
forestry of his State, besides being
an enthusiastic lover of the old Com
monwealth. Under the circumstan-
ces we regard the assignment of this
distinguished scientist 70 his present
field in the light of ga special pro-
vidence," for never at any other time
could the work he is so ready and
willing to perform be of as great
service to his State and people. The
State Commissioner had determined
with such slender means as were at
hand, to bring the geological resour-
ses of the State into notice at the
Exposition, but without the aid that

THE Republicans meet in Chicago
Tuesday to pool their issues on the
Presidential question and gird their
loins for another struggle for power to
throttle liberty and steal her toggery.
The probability is that Blaine and
Arthur will be just strong enough to
defeat each other, but if Blaine is NOM
iuated he will be knitted in every North-
ern and Western State by the Stalwarts,
while the same fate will await Arthur
at the hands of the half>breeds if he
secures the nomination. There are but
two men in the party whose nomination
at Chicago can give reasonable hope of
Republican success, and they are Logan
and Sherman.
