A Yaluable Medicine.
Buchu In various forms has for
many years been one of the chief ar
ticles in the Materia Mudica for the
treatment of certain diseases, among
which are chiefly those affecting the
urinary,' digestive, and circulatory
organs. The difficulty that was long
experienced in obtaining a preparation
of this valuable drug that could always
be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led to the
introduction of Helmbold's Extract of
Buchu, which for the last quarter of a
bentury has been extensively used
both by physicians and in house and
family practice, and with very gratify
ing success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thiug, has been
extensively Imitated, and those who
have use for It will do well to see that
they obtain the genuine "Helmbold
Buchu," the only pure and reliable
preparation.
A Swindle Exposed.
An advertisement of the "Denver
Land Company" bus been published
in hundreds of newspnpers through
out the country, and nniong others,
sonib in this and adjoining counties.
This so-called 'Company," offered to
sell lots In North Denver, Col., at fa
bulously low prices. It now turns out
that the wholu iillulf Is a swindle of
the most outrageous character, mid the
"Company," consisting of Sidney A.
Grant and Ai F. AVilson, wore arrested
In Denver, lusfcSiiturduy. . The fraud
was exposed by the Denver paper.
hundreds of letters addressed to Grant
and the Company have passed through
the malls, and It Is probably that many
unwary persons have been drawn Into
the scheme. If there are any In this
county who have entertained an idea
of Investing in these lots, this exposure
will be welcome news.
A Wonderful Escape.
Wllkesbarre Times.
An event occurred at the Stanton
shaft at five o'clock Wednesday after
noon, of such an extraordinary char
acter as to bo Well nlirh incredible.
Had we not seen and talked with the
man himself, Me could hardly have
belived the story. It Is briefly, this:
John McMahon was ascending the
shaft upon the ordinary carraue used
fur hoisting aud lowering the miners,
when he heard a tremendous din over
head and on looking up, saw au im
mense mass decending with lightning
raptidity. In a second of time it struck
the carriage dashing it off the
slides, and driving it through the
wooden partition which passes down
the centre of the shaft. Here the
carriage etUck, and thus saved Mc
Mahoh's life. The fallen mass proved
to be a heavy truck, weighing 1600 or
1800 lbs., used for conveying props and
timbers to the mouth of the shaft. By
some means this had been permitted to
run too far, and fell over.
McMahon was buried under broken
wheels, splintered "wood and rubbish
aud was half stunned by the crash and
the shock. He thought at first he was
fatally Injured, but on crawling out
from the debri found that he had es
caped with some. cuts on hlsfuce and
head, bruises on his body, and one arm
and hand temporarily paraloized. Men
cut through a brattice with axes, and
took him from his perilous position.
Here another diffieutly confronted
him ho was .six hundred feet from
the top, which lie hud to reach by
means' of ladders, and with, but one
arm uudhuiid to use. He accom
plished the feat by holding with his
chin on the rungs, when reaching up
with his sound hand.
McMahon's escape from deatli In the
most marvelous we have ever heard of
about a mine, and he may safely cluim
to have had an experience no one lias
ever known, or in all probability ever
will know.
A Clarion man attended relgious
service nt t lie" M. J?. Ctouroh "ofi-f-Sun-duy
night lust, which was the first
time he had been inside of a house of
worship for eighteen years. He was
resplendent in his best clothes, ucaliu
and holy look that would have done
credit to a converted heathen, and
wore a shirt collar that hecouldu't put
on in the usual way, but had to climb
the buck porch aud drop himself into
it. Just how much impression the
sermon made upon his mind is not
clear, but he was captured With the
vocal efforts of the Jubilee Singers,
and as he came out of tiie church he
whispered confidentially to a friend:
"If they'll just hire a minstrel troupe
by the year, they can count on me as a
member and I'll do as much toward
supporting the church as any d d
man in the country. Yes sir I'll do it
even if junk goes do.wn. to two dollars
a ton, aud rags don't bring enough to
pay for stuffing them in a flour sack
Clarion Republican.
On the nlglit of the sist ult., a
party engaged in "Holloweviug," at
Edenburg, placed an express truck
on the top of a box-car at the depot
The following morning while the em
ployees at the depot were trying to
take down the truck, John Munbull,
a brother-in-law of P. Moran kindly
volunteered his services, and, while
helping, the truck fell on him break
ing his collar-bone and cutting an un
sightly gash in the back of his head.
The unfortunate man lingered until
between seven and eight o'clock on
Thursday morning, when death re
lieved his suffering. He leaves a wife
aud three small children. It is said
the deceased had a presentiment that
his days were limited, having re
marked to his little boy several clays
before the accident. "My son, I feel
that your father's stay upon earth is
short indeed, that the time is con
fined to less than a score of days" The
parties who placed the truck on the
car are at present unknown. A de
termined effort, however, is being
made by the authorities to ferret them
out and bring them to justice. Clar

In order to place The Weekly
Press Within the reach of the Repub
lican voters of the States, the price has"
been reduced to One Dollar and
Twenty-Five cents Tor the year, by the
singlu copy, or to One Dollar for the
year, by clubs.
The Press Is thoroughly devoted to
the principles of the Republican party,
and mantiilns the Rupubllcan 'organ
ization because It believes that the
prosperity and progress of the people
cannot be safely intrusted to any other
existing political organization. Dur
ing the year 1880, the most stupendous
political conflict of this epoch will
take place. Upon its issue will depend
thti'political destiny of the country for
many years.
The Press steadily resists the alms
of the "Solid South," which is now
organized to capture the Executive, to
retain Congress, to remodel and con
trol the Supreme Court, and to subor
dinate every public interest to the
overmastering purpose of controlling
the policy of the Nation, and thereby
gaining by legislation and peaceful
means whut it lost on the field. The
Press enforces the duty of preserving
in full force the Constitutional Amend
ments mude to secure the fruits of the
war; upholds the right of every law
voter to a free, and unbouht exercise
of his right; inflexibly insists upon nn
honest return of the votes cast; justi
fies the use of all necessary means to
prevent fraudulent voting and fraudu
lent returning of votes; accepts as
fundamental the equal right of every
citizen to the ndequute protection by
the luw of his political us well as civil
rights , maintains as wise the Repub
lican policy of Resumption and
honest financial legislation; defends
as sound the policy of Protection to
American Industry; and, in general,
follows whithersoever the Republican
principle leads.
Special measures have been adopted
to Strengthen the Paper In all its
departments.
THE EDITORIAL DEPART
MET will be in the hands of able and
experienced writers, and the range of
suoieets discussed win be as wide as in
any other first-class newspaper in the

New Words. While many words
once in common use are now nearly
obsolete, few persons are aware how
large a number of new words are con
stunt! y coming into our language,
The Supplement of the new edition of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, re
cently issued, contains among other
attractive features, an addition of over
4600 New Words and Meanings, and
yet it is but a few years since a general
revision was made and great care
taken to insert all the words then pro
perly belonging to the English Lan
guage. Where these words came from
and what they are, is a surprise to per
sons who have not examined them
That they have not been hastily com
piled Is evidenced by the accuracy of
and careful study given to their etymo
logy and definitions.
Newspaper Laws.
1. A postmaster is required to givo
notice by letter, (returning a paper
uoeu noi answer me law; wuen a sub
scriber does not take his nauer out o

4. It the subscriber orders his paper
