Temperance Jleetiasr. -*l|
%iast evening the attendance was good and the interest lively. Jlr. Dunn is be coming more and more popular with the masse*. No one can withhold his influence from any and all methods that will reform the drunkard. Mr. Dunn's sole object is to save ihe fallers, and prevent Others from foiling. He seldom makes a set tempcr»nl? speech. He simply contrasts the two conditions—temperate and intemperate—in all their bearings, giving appropriate illustrations.
Luther Benson, who is in the city taking the Artesian baths fcr his health, was present,, and made a short speech. Those who know Mr. Benson's condition of mind, though induced by spirituous liquors, award to him hofresty and sincerity in^lhe temperance causc. He said last evening that he "had fought and fallen, foaght and fallen again," He is different from most men who go back to their cups. Whether sober or drinking he is always advocating the cause of temperance. As a femperance lecturer he has no superior the state, whatever may be his faults or condition of mind orbody, which may render him so unstable. The meetings will be continued at the Seventh street church. Luther Benson will be present at the meetings and speak whenever his health will permit.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.
RALLY
AT
LOCKrORT.
The Lockport pole, which has been spoken of so much lately, was raised last night. About twenty five persons, accom panied by the Cadet Band, went down from here, and nearly seventy-five came up from Corey. The train which was to leave here at 0:80 did not start until seven o'clock, and the consequence was, those from this city failed to see the planting of the pole which, when they arrived, held the* Garfield and Arthur streamer aloft, where, as the evening winds unfurled its folds, the eyes of the people might see the names of the future leaders of tlie Union. The band marched to the foot of the pole and there played "The Star Spangled Banner" while amidst cheers the stars and stripes were run up. A crowd of about 500 persons gathered about the speakers' stand, which had been erected in a grove about a half mile oast of town After being entertained for a short time with selections by the Cadet Band, tlie assembly was addressed by A. F. White whose speech occupied obout an hour Hon. R. B. F. Peirce next took the stand, and talked to the people about twenty minutes, after which three cheers were given for the county, State and National tickets, and the meeting adjourned.

Residents of Prairieton inform us that the mooting at that place last night was the largest that has gathered there this season. The interested inhabitants and visitors assembled at Republican headquarters. and were addressed by D. T. Morgan, Judge B. E. Rhoads and J. O. Jones.
A Republican club was organized, with Dr. L. S. Ball as President and W. E. Davis Secretary. There were sixty-five names enrolled.
The meeting was disturbed during the evening by a lot of whisky bloats who, like all lialf-brained idiots, try to make themselves conspicuous by acting like fools, which they really were. Such interference will not be looked over again.
SHELBYVILLE, July 28.—The Township of Noble and adjacent neighborhood in this county is greatly agitated over an aggravated case of wife-beating that occurred there last night. It seems that Foster Howell, a resident of the village of Norristown, got himself pretty well loaded with fighting whisky and returned home near midnight. His wife and cliil dren had gone to bed when he arrived and were slumbering peacefully. Mr. How ell was in an ugly humor, and commenced operations by ierking his four-year-old boy out of bed bv the heels and whipping lnm unmercifully. The mother interfered, and was rewarded by being threatened with death by her infuriated spouse. She fled for protection lo the house of her brother, Taylor Walker, who lives just across the street from Howell's, and shortly afterwards went to bed. She had, however, scarcely done so, when her husband came over, forced his way into her room, seized her by the ankle and arm, and beat her against the wall until she was badiiy bruisea and covered with blood. Her brother interfered in behalf of the helpless woman, whereupon Howell drew a revolver and threa tened him with instant death unless he desisted. While the two men were quar reling, the frightened wife escaped from the room a 1 fled through the neighboring cornfields to the house of the Hon. Samuel D. Spellman, where she sought shelter. Her husband again followed like a madman, and threatened to kill his wife unless she returned home immediately. Only Mrs. Spellman and a daughter were at home, ana they fled in affright to a near neighbor's house to hunt Mr. Spellman. Returning with him, it appeared that Howell had again assaulted his wife, and, having pretty well stripped her of clothing, was seated sullenly by her side. She was telling him she could not walk home on account of her injuries, being badly bruised from head to foot, but this seemed only to increase his fury. Mr. Spellman finally got him back to Norristown, where he was turned over to the proper authorities. At the latest accounts Mrs. Howell is represented as insane from the results of her cruel treatment. She imagines all the time that some one is assaulting her, and makes piteous appeals for mercy. The excitement is -great around Norristown, and Mr. Howell is in danger of having a slice of Judge Lynch's code meted out to him.

NOT SO
LONDON. July 28.—There was deep dismay and general consternation this morning" in the House of Commons, when Lord Hartington, Secretary of State for India, rose in his seat and, in a voice tremulous with emotion, announced what he had reason to believe was a terrible calamity and bereavement to the whole British "Empire. He said he had just received a dispatch conveying the frightful intelligence of the complete annihilation, near Candahar, of the brigade of the gallant General Burrows. \V hether that officer himself was among the slain he could not then say. as he had received no further information, but was in hourly expectation of getting further and fuller particulars. The following is the text of Lord llartington's address: "I regret to say I have this morning received news of a very serious character from India. The following telegram is from the Governor of Bombay: 'General Primrose telegraphs from* Candahar, to-day, that a terrible disaster has happened to General Burrows' force, who are annihilated. We are going into the citadel.' "I liaye telegraphed to
S1uit.l1,"
contin
ued the Marquis, "and we can send another brigade, if necessary. General Phayro has been telegraphed to collect what force lie can and march on to Can-V dahar. The posts are being conccntrated at Chainan."'
Lord Hartington continued: "I am sorry to say that the only ne\vs we have received respecting General Burrows' expedition has been telegraphed for, therefore I am not able to give any details as to *hc composition of his force. I believe, however, that it consisted of a brigade, but what the brigade was composed of I am unable to state. It is probable that I may receive fuller details, andthero may possibly be some details at the War Ofllco as to ihe composition of the brigade and the amount of force under General Burrows'command. I need not say if I have any further communication to make to the House I will do so before it rises this evening."
Later advices from Candahar, via Bombay, state that General Burrows' brigade was comprised of one regiment, with English artillery, the remainder of the force being native troops, consisting of the Fifth, Sixteenth and Twenty-eighth Regiments of infantry, in all a total force of three thousand men. Ayoob Khan's army numbered twelve thousand men, with thirty-six guns, which were well served. Fragments of General Burrows' force are still coming in. British loss is estimated at from 2,000 to 8.000 men.
The Mllver Dollar.
WASHINGTON, July 28.—The Attention of United States Trcasuser Gilfllan was recently called to the published item stating what there had been want of accord between the Secretary of the Treasury and the United States Treasurer in regard to the manner of paying out silver do) lars. The Treasurer stated emphatically to-day that such was not tlie case, ami never had been that the Secretary, early in the coinage, gave orders that the standard silver dollars should be paid out free"yat all the offices. Under that orde& 5,500,000 were paid [out in circulation, and, of what amount $17,000,000 had been returned to the Treasury in payment for public dues, and in exchange for silver certificates.
