ciOusly cruel wholesale murder ever COM
miited in this region was the slaughter last
evening, at point two miles east of here, of
Augustus Meeks, his wife and three small
children, and the all but fatal butchery of
his remaining child, girl Of six. But for
the fact that this little daughter had recover
cred sufficiently this morning to crawl from
the straw stack in which the six bodies were
hidden and give the alarm, the frightful
crime might not have been discovered for
long while.
Augustus Meeks was pardonel last year
by Governor Stone. and released from the
penitentisry to enable him 10 testify against
two alleged cattle thieves, the Taylor broth
ers, William and George. He did appear

A Grand Army Indeed.

Estimating with the Posts already heard
from as basis. It is considered certain that
over 5000 veterans Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic will parade at Pittsburg Sep
tember 1ith next, during the 2Sth National
Encampment. Pennsylvania viii have
fully coo in line, Ohio. 9.o9o TO : 600, New
York. 2.0o0 to ., 800, and other States will
be represented in proportion. Pittsburg and
Allegheny County will alone have between
1000 and 5000. Free quarters have already
been assigned for over Il 600 comrades, most
of whom are coming from far distant points,
and yet the encampment is four months
away. There will be 2,O00 mounted men in
the procession, which isexpected to consume
over eight hours in passing a given point.
The decorations and illuminaiions will be
on scale Of maguifcence never before
known in Western Pennsylvania.
Letters received indicate that there will be
a remarkable reunion Of veterans who have
gone out into the world from Pennsylvania,
Eastern Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland
affording an opportunity for the meeting Ol
friends who have been separated anywhere
from a decade to generation past.

issued by the Post Office Department aud is
being gradually introduced. As soon as the
supply on hand Of the present form is ex-
haus;ed, each Office will be supplied with
thenew one, bat no orders will be issued On
the old forms af.cr J-ae 30gh. The new
form Is somewhat .a.g-f than the old one
and is provided with : syssem Of coupons
that will serve as effective checks both upon
the purchaser and postmaster, and, it IS
probable, win prove satisfactory solution
of the problem or re Issuing fractional cur

Either large or small sums can be transmit

the latter gives no security to the sender,
