Rf* A Family Fatality.We lenm from the Ilagerstown News that on Fri¬ day afternoon of last week, .Mr. Simon Long, a well-known resident of the neigh- borhood of I)own>vilIe, in which vicinity he had recently erected a steam saw-mill, while working in front <4 a circular saw, hi« leg cam*1 in contact with the revolving saw cutting it almost oJV Ik tween the foot and knee, near the ankle. The family appears to ho a fated one: Mr. l-aae Long, the lather, having met his death by tailing over a stone fence on his farm and breaking his neck; one son, Nathan, was killed by being thrown from a horse, another, Bcnjainili, ended his career by suicide, ami now, death will en¬ sue to the first al>ovc named by the acci¬ dent described, llezekiah Long, a cousin of Nathan, Benjamin and Simon, was killed near Grimes' Station on the Shen¬ andoah Valley Kail road, about one year since, under circumstances never lully as¬ certained, but supposed to have been run over by a train on that road.

C3Sr" Tidings Wanted of a Hvsbaxp. . The New York World of ia>t week con¬ tains the following paragraph in refer¬ ence to a departed husband: . I'eter MeManus ami Matilda Tigo were married at Harper's Ferry, W. V«., about .seven year? ago, and subsequently eaine to tli'w city. Mrs. MeManus opened a laundry. Three years ago her husband built a house on Third avenue, between Seventy-second and Seventy, third streets, borrowing the money from her to pay his workmen. lie made money and bought live lot* in Harlem. On tlie Oth of last month he went to visit his mother in "West Virginia. He has not yet returned, and his wife fears that he has deserted her.

Just East of the town of Boons- boro', Aid., on the highest summit of South Mountain, and two and a half miles distant, stands a monument, partially de¬ stroyed, that was erected by citizens of lioonsltoro' in 1*27, to the memory of (ieorge Washington. The patriotism then ]iervading the minds of his fathers and thus made manifest, was to a great extent not poN»ei*ed by their defendants, for during the years chat have elapsed, wick¬ et! ami ungrateful men have pulled front their resting places many stones, sulli- eient to make it unsightly and unattrac¬ tive. During the past few years enter¬ prising citizens have been talking of re¬ building this monument and all the good people will hail with delight the fact that the agitation of the subject has at last re¬ sulted in a determination to do some- thing. At a late meeting of the Eucauij>- inentofOdd Fellows of that place, it was determined to take hold of the matter and carry it to a successful issue. They con¬ template raising it twenty feet higher, The character of the men comprising the encampment gives assurance of the re- building of the monument, and to them will be uue the thanks of the entire com¬ munity. ty Fanaticism lias been the cause of more trouble aud disaster than all the other evils that afflict mankind. John Brown, like Guiteau, imagined he was commissioned by the Lord to lilierate the slaves of the South, and his fanaticism plunged the nation Into a fratricidal war that sent a million of souls into eternity, and finally culminated iu the assassina¬ tion of a President. Guiteau was infatuated the same way and thought lie was selected as an instru¬ ment in the bauds ot the l>iety to commit a great crime, and thus bring* sorrow up- ou a nation and thinks that IMety will take Cireof him. So Brown thought and he was brought to the gallows on tlie 1st of De¬ cember, lHT>y. Mow, let the same fate await Guiteau and ho will t his just deserts. "Offences must needs come, but. woe unto that man by whom the offence cometh.'' It would have been n coinci¬ dence if this assassin had been executed the 1st of December. ty The Grand Worthy Chief Templar of the State of West Virginia, Dr. T. 11.

Keefer succeeded in capturing him, however, when it proved to be a young son of Mr. Anion Wilhelm, who resides in that vicinity.

The bride was most exquisitely and tastefully dressed in accordance with the demands of our day. Any description of the toilet would be an impossibility in a brief notice like this.

TO THE BOSS GRANGERS! Mr. Editor. C see t hat most of the Grange talk is through your paper, there¬ fore 1 a-k tlio favor of you to allow me to make some inquiries. Does becoming .1 member of the order change or correct the weaknesses and evils of our nat ure ? There are doubtless good men ami hid nu n farmers; some who will ai t from, and \\ ti<> will udhen* to princi¬ ple, let the sacritice or gain be what it may. Then again there are another class of men wiio are always on the qui vivk reaily t<» jump from principle to gain, either of money or |>«»-itii»n; tliis class generally enjoy but a temporary tran*i>ort. there anything in their obligation which would or ought to restrain them from doing a wrong act? We all know tint c.ieh pursuit in life has it> oommunl- t\ interest whieh i* common to ai! alike, and wljalso know as a business an. philo¬ sophic axiom that in unity of action there strength. Now the gist of tin inquiry i- whether the farmers have business experience enough to comprehend the drif; of tiie speculator w ho sees ami knows that his gains are in their product. Will the chief men of the order answer the following enquiries : . 1st. Does the obligation of the order hind you to l'avor or protect the interest of your fellow member? 2nd. Are trusts coutided properly re- speeted or are they used to further per¬ sonal ends? I will only add this last quo-lion em¬ bodies the seltishncs* of our nature which is the point for correction I Men's error - are mostly of the head and generally have to be corrected in the » hoot of experience which i- often very costly.

certained, but supposed to have been runover by a train on that road.

Dr. J. Mi l*. Scott, assisted by J>rs. Zel-ler and lirimes amputated the injuredmember, perlorminga neat operation. Itis a very doubtful case whether Mr. Longwill recover.

C3Sr" Tidings Wanted of a Hvsbaxp..The New York World of ia>t week con¬tains the following paragraph in refer¬ence to a departed husband:.

I'eter MeManus ami Matilda Tigo weremarried at Harper's Ferry, W. V«., about.seven year? ago, and subsequently eaineto tli'w city. Mrs. MeManus opened a

laundry. Three years ago her husbandbuilt a house on Third avenue, betweenSeventy-second and Seventy,third streets,borrowing the money from her to pay hisworkmen. lie made money and boughtlive lot* in Harlem. On tlie Oth of lastmonth he went to visit his mother in"West Virginia. He has not yet returned,and his wife fears that he has desertedher. She says lie sold nil his real estateln-fore hi« departure. She offers a rewardfor tidings of him, but says that sho doesnot want the money, but only her hus¬band.

Just East of the town of Boons-boro', Aid., on the highest summit ofSouth Mountain, and two and a half milesdistant, stands a monument, partially de¬stroyed, that was erected by citizens oflioonsltoro' in 1*27, to the memory of(ieorge Washington. The patriotism then]iervading the minds of his fathers andthus made manifest, was to a great extentnot poN»ei*ed by their defendants, forduring the years chat have elapsed, wick¬et! ami ungrateful men have pulled fronttheir resting places many stones, sulli-eient to make it unsightly and unattrac¬tive. During the past few years enter¬prising citizens have been talking of re¬

building this monument and all the goodpeople will hail with delight the fact thatthe agitation of the subject has at last re¬sulted in a determination to do some-

thing. At a late meeting of the Eucauij>-inentofOdd Fellows of that place, it wasdetermined to take hold of the matter andcarry it to a successful issue. They con¬

building of the monument, and to themwill be uue the thanks of the entire com¬

munity.ty Fanaticism lias been the cause of

more trouble aud disaster than all theother evils that afflict mankind. JohnBrown, like Guiteau, imagined he wascommissioned by the Lord to lilierate theslaves of the South, and his fanaticismplunged the nation Into a fratricidal warthat sent a million of souls into eternity,and finally culminated iu the assassina¬tion of a President.Guiteau was infatuated the same way

and thought lie was selected as an instru¬ment in the bauds ot the l>iety to commita great crime, and thus bring* sorrow up-ou a nation and thinks that IMety will takeCireof him. So Brown thought and he wasbrought to the gallows on tlie 1st of De¬cember, lHT>y. Mow, let the same fateawait Guiteau and ho will g» t his justdeserts.
