HARK ISBURG PA. rrldmr Eveing Jnue 19, 1874. OBITUARY, Death of JTIin. Cameron. It is witti "unfeigned sorrow we an nounce" the death in this city, at about six o'clock thin juorning, of Mrs.

Margaret Cameron, wife of Senator Simon No consolation we can offer, no ribute we can pay to the virtues and worth of the deceased, can mitigate the griet into which the death of this true woman, Affectionate and faithful wife, tender mother and mast estimable lady, has plunged her husband, family and most intimate friends. To them, and to the community of which she has been so lone a useful and esteemed member, her death, is an', irreparable loss for in her person she combined all the excellencies with but few if any of the blemishes of the female She was truly a Christian woman, from early life a use ful and exemplary member of the Lu theran church. But her Christianity was not contracted it was general, embracing all denominations, and seeking to do good everywhere. Her heart was the very fountain of charity and kindness there was no harshness in her na ture: her smile was benevolence her voice the voice of gentleness and peace and her hand, obedient to the generous impulses of her heart, was ever stretched forth to relieve distress. This is no strained eulogy of the de For more than fifty years the write this feeble tribute to her mem ory was acquainted with her as maiden, wife, mother, friend, and in all these relations she was without reproach.

She needs no praise to embalm her in the memory of those who knew her. True woman, true wife, true mother and true friend, long will she be remembered for the excellencies of her character and the good she has done through a life extend ing beyond three score years and ten. AOAinvr Til IS STOI1.1UE Of CO All Olli. A numerously signed by the moBt prominent business men and real estate owners of this city, against the erection of a depot for the storage of coal oil within the city limits, will be presented to the city council at its first It is understood that parties from the West contemplate the erection of an extensive depot for the storage of this dangerous fluid at this point. While we welcome all men of enterprise, and wilf encourage every project which will iraproyo'tho city, vyo most earnestly protest against the erection of any de pot of this kind within its limits Grounds can be obtained without diffi culty, along the railroad and canal at reasonable rates in the immediate vi cinity of the city, more suitable than the place where tnis depot is now pro posed to be erected, and where it would not endanger the destruction of valuable property in case of accident.

It is high time that Council should pass art ordinance against the storage of coal oil and other explosive articles, taking care at the same time that the interests of business men who necessarily must keep a small portion on hand to accommodate local trade are properly protected Whatever is done should be done judiciously. SIXTY MILES AN, HO UK. Some, time ago an experiment was tried of running a newspaper train between New YorK and Philadelphia at an exceeding high rate ef speed. It was an effort to supply Philadelphia with New York dailies at the usual breakfast time in 1 the morning. An engineer, fireman, and two men to handle papers volunteered for the work, previously releasing the railway company from any action for damages which might occur by reason of accidents.

The experiment, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, has prov en successful, ana now a passenger car is to be attached for such as find it inconvenient to wait for the slow and old fashioned lightning express. The speed made by the train is sixty miles an hour for a part of the distance. It is. very appropriately called the news paper train, for if there is anythingthat suggests speed and lightning activity just now, it is the modern journal. The high rate of speed attained here is un known on any other road in this country; but wo believe it is not unusual on the best railways of England, and so far as the reports indicate, it is accomplished without any more serious results than are experienced with the slower trains.

We shall, no doubt, see the time when coaches wilt be run from Chicago to New York in little over one half the time consumed now, and when a Chica goan can take a trip to San Francisco, make a very respectable visit, return, and all without being away from home over Sunday. KNULISII 1MIK.I If The Intense prejudice of Englishmen in respect to American affairs is strik ingly illustrated in a passage recently quoted from Mr. Grote, tho able historian of Greece. His language is given as follows "I have outlived my faith in the efficacy of republican government, regarded as a check upon the vulgar passions of a majority in a nation, and I recognize that supreme power lodged in their hands may be exercised quite as mischievously as by a despotic ruler like the First Napoleon. The conduct of the Northern States in the conflict with the Southern States has led me to this conclusion, though it cost nic much to avow it even to mjself Mr.

Grote was a radical once, and an extreme one of the Stuart Mill stripe. But he was more of an Englishman than a radical. Wo suxKise we may even try to trace a logical sequence in an Englishman's mind from his premise to his conclusion, although sometimes the attempt is a difficult one. In the first place, then, Mr. Gote knew America too well in his own estimation.

He took it far granted that he understood our constitutional law, and the issues arising under it a great deal better than all the lawyers and statesmen in our land. This must be pardoned in him, as it is insular infirmity. Starting out with that conceit, and taking but little pains to. inform himself in American notwithstanding that history was breaking his idols and scattering his faith, what else could he see in the breaking but of our war but a sudden and capricious ebullition of resentment and anger. The long years during which the Republican party was growing up "and establishing itself in principles of public policy, in which the people were gathering convictions.

and this goes foe nothing. The national determination that issued in the election of Mf Lincoln, and that declared that all hostility the gov ernment was rebellion untqthe rerne dies of the constitution resolves itself into a whirlwind of passion started by the shots fired at Fortf Sumter. So all the good nature and absence of Ibitterness which characterized the war are ignored. It is singular how people eanteome to such opposite yiewB ofthesame events. That which induced Mr tjirote to abandon his life long convictions in favor of popular government our children will be instructed for generations to come to regard as the crowning glory of.

Repub lican institutions. The fact is Mr. Grote was a free trader and wanted the Birm ingham mills to keep And to an Englishman British trade Is the touchstone of all foreign virtues; But in spite of ihem Americans will reflect that there never was an internecine war entered upon more reluctantly nd prosecuted less bitterly. They will be; proud of the popular enthusiasm which bore four years of trial, net for passion's sake, but pre eminently a humane idea. Providence Press.

A basin of warm water, a razor, a brush and some soap lay beside him. An impression of a knot under the ear gave rise to suspicion of foul play. A rope was found about ten steps distant. in a dog box, upon which, was a knot that ntted exactly Into the impression It then became known that old man had been hanged.

The wife, the step son and the peddler, Rogers, were arrested, and after an examination the wife and peddler wete discharged; but Russel was remanded to jail, where he still lies.

Tclegrajdile Notes. Michael Lawless, the Saugcrtics dts pcrado, was yesterday, at Rondout, convicted of burglary and assault with intent to kill, and was sentenced to twenty years for the former and flvo years for tho latter, in SiDg Sing. i ne Douy oi jrierre ijacomu was found yesterday in tho swamp in the rear of the city park, New Orleans, with a bullet hole in liis head and another in his body. Traces by the police show that he had been murdered ou tho road and his body thrown, into the swamp. Tho steamers Vancouver and Lord of fho Isles, from China, arrived at San Francisco last night.

The Lord of the isles brings 945 Chinese passengers and the Vancouver 613. Tho latest Chinese papers say the vessel lost in tho, China fSca, with all on board, was the steam ship Scotland, and not the barque Scotland, as was supposed. i Tho Montgomery County Republican I'iXecutive Committee met at Norris town yesterday, and decided upon hold ing the convention to nominate enndi dates for county officers, and to select six delegates (o represent Montgomery in tho iStute Convention, at the cour house, at that place, ou tho first Mon day in August. un Wednesday nigut a party or no grocs attacked tho house of one John son, near Clarksvillo, with stones. One of Johnson's daughters fired on tho crowd, wounding one negro woman in the abdomen, from which she died jn twenty minutes.

Afterwards the irirl herself was struck on the head AVith a stone, producing probably a fatal wound. i The ceremony of awarding diplomas (o tho graduates of the class of 1871 at West Point, on Wednesday, drew to gctlier, as usual, fashionable and happy attendance. The proceedings were somewnas iuaireu py rain, which pre vented ne anticipated out door exhibi lion. add russet by, Wayland a parade ol the cadets, tho graduates were dismissed by Command ant Upton, with an earnest wish lor their success in life, The recent legislation by the Dominion of Canada annihilates the monopoly ot landing telegraph cables on the shores of Newfoundland, hitherto enjoyed exclusively by the Anglo American Cable company and associates. As the use of Newfoundland shores is indispensable to transatlantic telegraphy, this legislation opens the way for competition that must soon greatly reduce cable tolls, and relieve the public from the oppressions and extortions of existing lines.

HORRIBLE MYSTERIOUS MURDER. A MMhvr and Her 'I' Daughters Bnlchered for a Few Dollars. The Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday says About two and a half miles from Law rencebufg, Indiana, there is a little farm of eight acres, owned by a poor family by the name of Bradley, "consisting of the wife and their children two daughters, aged respectively ten and twelve yeafsv a little boy aged three, and an Infant seven or eight months old. The husband Is away working, it is supposed, as a farm hand or on the river, leaving his wife and daughters to carry on the little farm, while he scraped a few dollars together and forwarded the same for their mutual support. On the adioining tarm is a man named Frank Ktrahl who was engaged yesterday in plowing within sight of II wl lrvxr'tj rMmA Ttnm nnp KTnrv frame cabin, situated ou a hillside, and sur rounded by a few fruit trees.

Strahly noticed Bradlev's little boy running about the nlace cryinsr bitterly the greater part of the day, but paid my attention to ic, lumsmg, fact, that it was a matter ot course for a fmiia to cry. nil lowaru evening, when its manner and gestures led him lt to the conclusion that something was wrofig he could not ten wny, our, i pflectfoa he remembered that he had noticed no other living being about Murine the dv. no one but the bltterlv crying child. About mti to CO over arid see hat Was the znatter, but no soohfef did he" enter the huuioie aooue than A JSpectatitf Met his siglit. Mrs.

Vas 1 1 near the nrenlare dead, witir nrer StAshed in, andjier babe, with a slight wounu uu tier uosuui. Examination alstf tTtoved that the wo man had received a tefffble Wow across the abdomen, which was burst open, allowing the bowels to protude. The oldest girl was also lying on the floor, dead, with her skijl crushed She lay with her feet towards her mother, and her head towards the bed. On the latter lay the youngest daughter, dead, with" her skull crushed in, as in the other two cases. There was no evidence of a struggle.

no other trace of violence on the per sons of the murdered people, and no weapon or implement suggestive of the means uy which they lell under the as sassin's blows. Strahly alarmed the neighborhood immediately upon his discovery of the bodies, and the nlace was soon visited by sctores of people from the neighbor hood and from JLawrenceburg. After sufficient notice of the attitudes and positions of the unfortunate victims had been taken their bodies were removed from the cbin and placed on the ground in front, where the topical examination was made, which resulted in ascertaining the above facts. The horrid deed was evidently performed with some heavy, blunt implement, for there was no cut or gash, except the slight abrasion or wound on the infant's head, and there was no effusion of blood. The fatal blows must have been delivered with quickness and dispatch nor did it appear that they were repeated, except in the case of the mother, in the manner noticed above, and which was supposed to be intended for the child, either in her arms orat tbebreast, but fell that second blow, on the poor woman's body.

The fact that the murdered family were all clad shows that the murder must have been committed sometime yesterday i enrly in the day, probably, for tho child's crying appears to have been noticed by the man Btrahly as early as noon. The child, could give uo account of the mysterious tragedy, for it cannot speak, and the probability is that it was not present during its enactment, or it, too, would have fallen beneath the assassin's hand. When our informant left tho scene, at 8 o'clock last night, the coroner of liaw reuceburg had taken possession of tho bodies and was organizing au inquest in the presence of a horror stricken and deeply impressed crowd of people.
