The Danviile American rceommends Weiss
beer as a temperance, drink to the eitizeus of a
local option couuty like Montour. Judging
from a; pearanees many will consider that ra

of disguise for the thicker article. We have
no doubt that bottles labelled 'W.-i Pc' l"' will
fell readily in that county.
Sove store keepers complain of o ir citizens

We notice the town papers are 'jegiiiuiug to have

The visitor at Northumberland cm Saturday
were disappointed iu their expected vi.-it to Blue

seeing the picturesque seenTV viewed from that

oieration for the detection of thieves, that is, if
the fellow comes iu where the infernal machine
Is located. It consists of a large stone attached
to a rope, tbe one end of the rope is fastened to
the door at the bottom of the. stairs, and the
stone Is laid on the topmost step, so you sec,
that when the thief pulls open the door, the stone
will roll down and kill liin, that is. if he don't
get out of the way.
A Fishing Excihsion. Several of theSuubury
Walton?, viz: .1. J. Smitli, the handsome, post

West Branch, on Monday hist, to Jersey Shore,
there to sport alonj; its banks in quest of a few
of the finny tribe, nnd such other matters aa
ir.ijjit lay around loose, and come within their

The sportsmen arrived home on Wednesday
evening soon after daik, looking much iu-proved
in health, but verv much fati'-ued. We have
for years past been impressed with the opinion
from what we observe in those who visit the up
per regions of tLe West Branch for sporting pur
poses, that health must lay around loose among
those lofty mouutains and cbrystal mountain
trout -loving et reams. Loose dirt cheap to be
picked up by the poorest without price. Why
all who venture up that far from our place re-
tarn horn? the very picture of health :
Bronzed like the soldier, his step as light us
stealth ;
Ills ruddy cheek and brUU'Vit nose, the very
fash of health.
We will simplyk remark in conclusion, gentle
men, that we haven't seen anything of that mess
of Call vou promised us on von r return home.
We're waiting on von.

Tun 1 111.11 fcrniNo Bsf.k. One of the ciieniUts
at the centeuiil.il ou Sa'unlay, who is cbemist of
the Board of Health in Boston, pronounces the
j lager beer, Manufactured by Messrs. Mocschlin
.t Bro., an unadulterated article, and says that
no s'.u li M ticle can be found In Boston. The
beer contains nothing but the pure malt and
hos. This appears to lie the universal testi
mony of every one who has ever drank of the
beer. The young men manufacturing the article
thoroughly understand brewing and know how
to make it pure, aud there is no dauger of them
resorting to drugging it for the sake of gain.

fifty years over live hurdles three feet high ; tbe
winner of two out of the three to take $100. ,

Rr.niciNii Eevis. Wo are happy to notice
that landlords are moving in the reduction of
rents. During the hard times many of the te
nants were without employment, and perhaps
their families in need of the necessaries of life.
Owners of t"tiaut houses are receiving exhorbi
tant rents in a number of instances, und now as
wages are being reduced rents should be lowered
correspondingly. Mr. Win. T. Engleman has
been the first to move in this matter, and has re
duced the rents on his houses ten per cent., to
take effect on the first day of September. A
good tenant will appreciate such a liberal act,
and the landlord may expect to save the amount
throMgh better care on the part of the tenant,
which will insure a continuance of occupancy.
The Daily adopts a very delicate way of bring

Since the above notice appeared in the Gazette,
there, have been surmises that the editor of that

and with the aid of a little Cattery could no
doubt be induced to be a candidate for either jxir
t'j. Wc have consulted with Mr. Difsingcr who
has agreed to withdraw and leave Mr. Young
man have the field, jis he would most Jlkely re
ceive the nomination of both parties, and there
would be. no earthly hojie for either of us. We
therefore deciine.

A report of the Committee was unanimously
adopted. Prof. Chandler, on taking t je chair as
President, stated that he would not occupy the
time in making a speech, that bcwould call
upon Col. David Taggart to deliver the address
of welcome. The Colonel then cane forward,
and delivered the following address, nesaid :
I have been chosen by my fellow citizens to of
fer to the learned and distinguished m?n and wo
women who have gathered here to fomraemo
rate a grand diseovcrv and to honor a great
name, a brief but earnest welcome. Vc cannot
follow you through the wide realms of science,
nor explore very deeply the mysteries of nature,
for we know more about oxen than oxjiren, and
a great deal more about the way of n ilk than
the milky way, but we can move whh equal
step in paying a tribute of respect and rverancc
to the illustrious man who, eighty yirs ago,
found among the rude forefathers of thii hamlet
a r,uict home, and seventy years ago an honored
grave. While iu the lapse of everlasting time
nil human names mnst be forgotten, maay ages
will have come and gone nnd left the'r silent
footmarks on the earth before that of
Prie.-tlcy will pass from the. memories and re
cords of Ids fellow men. He has writtea it in
letters of light and glory upon the highest and
broadest piuar of the universe.
By right of eetiitis and labor he takes rank
with the dead but scepter-d sovereigns who still
rule our spirits from their urns. Like the eagle
he built his eyrie upon the mountain's top, inac
cessible to vulgar intrusions. In that pure at
mosphere he dwelt not above human sjiite, jea
lousy and detraction, for it is easier to get below
than above their annoyances. The shafts of bi
gots and fools were aimed at him, bnt thev could
not penetrate the triple armor which phi. osophy,
enthusiasm and truth had thrown arouud him.
Like you, gentlemen, he made science his mis
tress, and with a pure heart and an untiring
mind he worshipped her through long days ot la
bor and nights devoid of ease, and to-day he
stands with Gallileo, Newton, Harvey, Franklin,
Faraday atid Humboldt, grand, colossal nnd en
during, one of the great high prcsts in the bound
less and beautiful temple of nature.
A brutal English uiob could bum his dwelling,
and in an honr of political madness nod religious
frenzy destroy the work of years, bnt It conld not
stavthe indomitable, cueriv h's genius nor
ctT.ii cne lumie oi ins weil earned renown, while
the miserable wretches who composed that mob,
have long ago given back to the; great clement
which he discovered seventy-five per cent, of their
worthless carcasses. More than eighty years' af
terward his great name is a talllstuau to draw to
this quiet village many of th most renowned
knowledge-gathererB of the nation besides ev
eral from New Jersey and Canada, an aristocra
cy of learning an intellect that can afford to
look down from its high citadels of thought and
achievement with pity, if not contempt, upon the
more vulgar aristocracy of blind accident, the
painted catterpillars of pretentious illiterate
wealth.
As I am not vain cuougli to suppose that any
one cares to listen to me, when such illustrious
names are upon tbe bills, I will merely reiterate
to you.men and women of seuse and science, in be
bhalf of all my neighbors, a very sincere and un
feigned welcome to our homes and to our hearts,
and let me assure you most earnestly that we are
not only willing but anxious to do all things possi
ble to make you remember with pleasure your
well-timed pilgrimage to the home und grave of
the greatest discoverer of his time.
A committee was appointed to confer with the
centennial meeting iu Birmingham, England ;
also, to takepart in spirit in the unveiling of the
sfatue of the late Joseph Priestley, in that city.
Numerous letters of regret were read to the
meeting. Then followed a sketch of the "Life
and Lr.bors of Dr. Joseph Priestley," by Profes
sor Henry II. Craft, of Toronto, Canada.
Professor Horsford of Cambridge, Mass., then
gave some interesting sketches of the life and
read several original letters of the late Dr.
Priestley.
OKEETING FItOM ACKOSS TI1E OCEAN.
The reading of the letters occupied considera
ble time, at the conclusion of which the following
cable telegram was read :
To the American Chemists assembled at Nor
thumberland, Pa. : Our marble statue, repre
senting Priestley Discovering Oxygen, will be
unveiled to-morrow, presented to the subscribers
through frolessor Huxley to the town, and ac
cepted l.y the mayor. We greet you as col
leagues in honoring the memory of a great tai l
good man. Signed by the- Priestley Memorial
Committee. Birmingham.
The following is the telegram sent to Birming
ham. Eiigi:nd :
NoiiTln.MiiKiti.ANi), l'a., July 31, 1874. The
brother chemists at the grave to their brothers
at the home of Priestley send greeting oil this
centennial anniversary of the birtli of chemistry.
The. convention then adjourned till 2 p. ni.
AT THE rniEbTl.EY MANSION.
At two p. m. the chemists proceeded to the
Priestley mansion, where they were photograph
ed. In the building the apparatus, books, man
uscripts, &c, of Priestley and other objects, il
lustrating the hiktory of chemistry, were on ex
hibition. The meeting reassembled at three p.
m. Andrew Huston, aged S3, said to be the old
est printer in the United States, occupied a seat
ou the floor. It was announced that there were
fifty scientific delegates present.
THE CENTI UY'9 ritOGKESS.
Professor T. Sterry Hunt, of Boston, delivered
an extended review of the century's progress in
theoretical chemistry. He traced the progress
of chemistry as an art from the earliest times,
endeavoring to show how it took form as a sci
ence in the eighteenth century. Referring to
the three gTcat chemists who, one hundred years
since, began the new era, he said Priestley,
though he had known the existence of oxygen,
still held the old philosophy, and died tbe last
defender of the phlogistic hypothesis, to the
dowufall of which his discovery had so much
contributed.
The following despatch was sent to Birming
ham, England.
Welcome Despatch received. Professors J. L.
Smith, Gorcmaus and Jay, were appointed a
committee to represent the United 8tates in spi
rit at the unveiling of Priestley's statue.
A committee of five was appointed to co-operate
with the American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, ut its next meeting, in es
tablishing a chemical section on a firmer basis.
The convention then adjourned.
THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
At the morning session a resolution that a com
mittee be appointed to confer with the managers
of the Centennial Exposition as to the best
means of inducing the largest number of Euro
pean professors of chemistry and cognate scien
ces to visit America in 1876. was referred.
VISIT TO THE GRAVE OP PltrESTLEY.
At 6:30 P. M. the grave of Priestley was visi
ted. At least 500 persons, including many ladies,
repaired to the cemetery, which is located in
of
outskirts of the town, where, standing uncovered,
they listened to a beautiful address by Professor
Henry Coppee, of Lehigh University, who on
short notice acted in place of Professor nenry,
of Washington, who was unable to be present.
He expressed his regret at the absence of Prof.
TT., ... , , .
nenry, to whom the duty of making the address
at the grave of Priestly had been originally as-
signed, and his extreme reluctance to act at short
J,8r1,,UbStUntC: f?1"' urgent Tub light running "iWic" Sewing ma
request of the committee, and solicited the in- chine, on account of its many points of superi
diligence of his audience. He spoke of Priestly
as not only a chemist, bnt a theologian, a politi
cal economist and historian, calling especial nt
tcution to his lecture on history and general
polity, published in Loudon in 1793, the year be
fore he came to America
He allowed that Priestly was dogmatic and
controversial, but claimed that lie was ardent in
6earch of the truth, that he thought he was
right that he should propagate his views'. Priest
ley's essay on education contained many sug-
gestions which are now being carried out. nis
views were unpopular in his day, but are singu
iariy good iu ours. That essay was published

great masters of science have held their lives
chiefly of value, that they might still labor and
achieve for the world. He told kis physician
that he would be perfectly satisfied if he could
patch him up for six months, until he could
complete the printing of his works. The brief
address closed with a delicate allusion to the
virtues and merits of Priestley's wife, who was
an invaluable help to her husband, and who was
presented to the ladies present as worthy of their
Imitation, On the tombstone over his remains
is the following inscription :

Professor Smith, of Kentucky, addressed the
chemists in relation to the Liebig memorial, and
proposed a contribution. He said two memorials
were proposed, one In Munich and one in Gies-
sen, and he hoped the contributions would be
libcral,'that America would take prominence in
the work.
Subscriptions wete received amounting to
SC00, the subscribers indicating Gicssevj as their
choice. A lengthy essay on American contribu
tions to chemistry was delivered by Professor
Benjamin Sillimau, of New Haven, Connecticut.
The report of the Finance Committee was re
ceived nnd accepted. It was decided that the
surplus be devoted to procuring a photograph
album, aid a'so the autographs of delegates, to
be presented to Joseph Priestley, ns a memorial
of this Centennial.
A committee to confer with the Centennial
Commission did uot wish to report, but asked
leave to increase their numbers. Granted.
Resolutions of thanks to the citizens of Nor
