uis persecutors have learned to praise him,
aud tbe honest and disentcrestcd of both
parties agree in pronouncing him one of the
best Governor's our State has ever had.
There is no reason why he should not be
rc-clected, and that loo, after his vindica
tion from tbe foul aspersions of his tra
duccrs when a candidate before, of a ma
jority of least sixty thousand votes. His
re-nomination as the standard bearer of the
Republican parly ill add great strength,
and his election would be looked to with
confidence to victory in November.
Coming Elections. -Th e general elec
tion in Connecticut will take place on Mon
day next, when a Governor, Legislature
and members of Congress will be chosen
Tbe canvas is sharply con tested on both
sides, with tho chances in favot of the
Democrats, who have controlled the State
for two yeares by large tuajorilies. Still
the result in New-Hampshire very much
inspirits tbe Republicans who mill light
against very great odds. An election
takes place in Michigan also u Monday
next, choosing at that time two Associate
Justices of tho Supreme Court and two
Regents of the university in the State at
large, the Judges of the twenty Circuit
Court of the Slate by districts. Super
intendents of Schools iu all the thoroughly
organizeJ counties, aud a full comple
inent of township officers. No spring elec
tion in years has aroused the interest that
pertains to this.
The Court of Commou Pleas of Philad
elphia has decided that the new Constitu
tion of this State abolishes all offices for
the inspection of merchandise, as existing
at tbe time of its adoption. Tbe question
arose iu the case of the Inspector of Leath
er, who was appointed before the ad jption
of the Const itution, but whose term of of
fice, as fixed by the laws under which he
was appointed, has not jet expired.
Judge Allison, who delivered thu opinion
of the court (No. 1), decides that the laws
uuder which inspectors of merchandise
were appoiuted, arc not in harmony with
tbe Constitution, and arc therefore declar
ed void by it.
How the cloven foot comes out when the
Democracy have to pass on tbe record of a

country over declares against Genera

makes all tbe difference in the world with
tbat party whether a man fights for or
against his country.
In the matter of the tobacco tax, the in
crease of which took effect on March 3d,
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
insists that it applies tit all tobacco manu
factured on that day. It is a well settled
legal principle that in laws their are no
such things as fractions of a day. When
a Federal law is made to take effect from
or on and after the day of its passage, the
day of its passage and the whole of that
day is included.

Executed. The young murderer
Brown, who killed Mr. and Mrs. Kremer,
in Schuylkill county, was hung at Potts
ville, on Wednesday last. The occasion
brought a large crowd to the town and every
available place outside of the prison walls
commanding a glimpse of the execution,
was occupied. The criminal professed to
be quite penitent for his crime. Tbe Journ
rtl says of bini :
He was born in Washington township,
ibis county, on the 2"th of March, lJj.VJ,
and hence was juBt legally of age on the day
of his death. His mother is of Irish des
cent, while his reputed father is a German,
named Brown. It is not believed that
Rrown was the criminal's father, and it is
inore than whispered in the neighborhood
where he livod that he had no right to the
name of Brown. From early youth the
boy manifested a bad and malicious dis
rmsition, and when he grew older, he be
came a terror to the neighborhood. He
w:ia cruel to dumb brutes. He committed
numerous acts of petty larceny and petty
ruaiicc. and so from 6mall beginnings ad
vanced until he has earned an infamous no
toriety among criminals. He was permitted
to go unpunished, as his malicious dis
position wo known, and he was feared.
It was believed he would not hesitate to
fire a barn in reveage for any effort made
to curb him. For one so much dreaded he
was a small man. He was five feet five
inches tall at the time of his death, and
"weighed about 135 pounds. He did weigh
less than this a mouth ago, but he gained
Jesh latterly. Joseph Brown was a strange
human being. His career and ending have
a lesson for all classes of society. They
teach tle better claases tho value of educa
tion as a safe-guard against crime ; and
they tell the criminal classes to beware,
that human life in our county is not held
jo cueaply that it can be taken with inipu
ciiy. If these lessons are only learned
then Joseph Brown did not live and sin in
Tns MixonrTr Auditor's Retort.--A
correspoudcut of the Gazette last week,
gives a full explanation of the Minority
Auditor's Report published in this issue of
the American-. The writer is evidently
acquainted with th Tacts, as bis views are
correct, which -a'li xv see by reading tho re
port. T e correspondent gives tbe follow
ing fV, explanation :
THE MINORITY AUDITOR'S REPORT.
"The numerous readers of the Gazctlt in
comparing the two Auditors' Reports of
1874, may be at a loss to understand the
cause, in the financial part, of the great
difference in assets and liabilities as there
exhibited. The majority Report, adopted
by tbe Court, gives -2S.107.72 as outstand
ing aud available, subject to exonerations,
commissions and losses. The minority Re
port gives $10,747.33 as available assets.
In making out the minority Report, the
Auditor lias exonerated in advance, has
estimated losses in nnvnuce, has taken in
bills that were never presented to the Com
missiouers for orders in 1874 ; in short, has
run into accounts and reported sums, that
will properly and ot necessity appear again
in the audit of 1875, as expenses for that
year. The amount in his lieport in me
shape and under his heading of 'due and
owing' comprises orders issued by tbe Com
missioners in 1875. bills unpresented, losses
proclaimed, aud exonerations aud commis
sions allowed in advance of settlement.
amounting to ?13.'.H3.47. every cent of
which properly belongs to. aud must be re
ported in, the Audit of 1875. To make the
above assertion clear, we must take into
consideration the duty of Couuty Auditors,
as required by law, to in .ke a true and cor
rect Kcporl for the year, commencing on a
specified day and ending on another speci
ik'd day, including the year. Alll orders
granted by the Commissioners and cashed
by tbe Treasurer after the close of the year
specified, cannot be counted iu the Report.
How can an Auditor possibly know the
bills made out against the county for ser
vices rendered during 1874, and not pre
sented lor paymeut until 1875, when he is
auditing the accouuts of 1874 K How does
he know what exonerations, commissions
and losncs will amount to before settlement?
How cau he call bills indebtedness before
tbe Commissioners have accepted them v
D-es such a statement give a correct ac
count of the facts as they are.' when so
much is based ou conjecture ? Such bills
as the Auditor enumerates are held back
every year, more or less. There appears
in every Report money paid during the
year which, in point of fact, was for service
rendered for the preceding year ; and it is
fair to infer tbat those backstanding bills
balance one year with another.
Now, iu tbe justice aud inaccuracy of tbe
Auditor is plain when we reflect that all
amounts spc-citied by him appear as indebt
edness, for 1374, in his Report. This is the
direct inference. If it be his object to make
expenditures appear enormous by his mode
ot showing up the county aflairs, injustice
to the Commissioners he should have ex
tracted all accounts paid in 1874, for which
services had been rendered in 1873. This
would have brought him nearer a true
basis iu bis mode of showing up accounts.
The Auditor has also disallowed and re
rejected a number of orders granted by the
Commissioners and paid by the Treasurer,
viz. : one order, A. Cadwallader, 3115.SS;
one order, R. M. Cummings, 1,087.03 ;
three orders, John Ilaag, 8515.82, for
which amounts he holds the Commissioners
responsible. Whether the Auditor is em
powered by virtue of bis office to allow and
disallow bills that have been legally acted
upon by the Commissioners, without any
evidence of fraud iu the transaction, and,
on the faith of an order issued by them,
cashed by the Treasurer in legal form, is a
debatable question. The best legal ability
in North umbcrland couuty would hardly
sustain ibe Auditor in his view of the case.
Ti e Auditor has also explained the Land
Sale transactions outside of the county.
From all that can be learned, the particu
lar data of the entire transaction together
with the contract between the Commission
ers and Mr. Cummings, is a matter for
explanation by the Commissioners; they
can furnish the entire proceeding in the
case, and no doubt will do so if required.
Those land sales outside of the county have
been mysteriously managed in years gone
by Tho county has bad two sales of such
lauds between 1S40 and 1800 ; aud it ap
pears that tbe net proceeds into the Trea
sury, after paying all expenses, amounted
to between 100 and S200. The Cum
mings' sales, since the contract between the
Coiuuiissiouers and himself, nave netted
into the Treasury, up in January 1st, 1875,
after deducting all expeubes, lU1tiJ3.lHi.
It is reasonable to suppose that tracts offer
ed prior to lite Cummings sales were more
valuable than llR-sesold by thai gcuileiuau.
Upou the whole, the Cuminiugs sales,
severely as they have been cri.icised, -ciu
to have Uen more economically managed
than their two predecessors.
The Auditor has also disallowed Trea
surer's Cierk's pay, amounting to 520.77,
for entering seated aud unseated tracts of
lauds iu the county, on Land Books.
These transactions do uut affect the couuty
Treasury further than the county aud
Stale taxes are coucerued. It is an affair
between the Treasurer and the local dis
tricts entitled to receive amounts set forth
in lull in the majority Report. Whether
the law intends thai the Treasurer shall
make these entries, keep the accounts, aud
be responsible for the whole for 5 per cent,
is another debatable question. By examin
ing the report of 1872 we find that John
Farnsworth received 490.5)5 for similar
services.
The minority Report, we think, has been
surllcietly aualyz-d to give tbe reader of the
Gazette a thorough insight into tbe causes
ol the large difference that appears in the
Financial Statement." E.
March 22d, 1875.
Mexican Bandits Raiding into
Texas. The Mexicans are briuging
troubles upon themselves, and may make
annexation a thing of the near future by
raiding into Texas, where they murder the
people and steal or destroy the property.
In a late invasion of this kind, the raiders
bnrncd tbe post office at Neueccs, and cap
tured and robbed the San Antonia mail
carrier. Among their prisoners was Judge
Gilpin, formerly a member of the Legisla
ture, and two women. A force of Texans
went iu pursuit of the invaders, and had a
fight with them near Zanquette. in which
one Mexican and two Americans were
killed. All but four of tbe prisoner escap
ed. At Corpus Christi, the citizens are
under arms and guarding the town, and
all business is suspended. It is reported
that several citizens have been murdered
near the Rio Grande. Advices from Los
Olmos, in Nueces couuty, say the entire
region between thai place and the Rio
Grande, is infested by lawless Mexican
bands, who are continualiy robbing,
wounding, aud driving cattle across the
river. Nearly all travel on tho highways
has ceased, and even stockmen fear to hunt
their horses and cattle, through tear of the
outlaws. At San Luis, forty miles below
Rio Grande City, a force of colored sailors,
it is said, has been routed by the raiders.
The greater portion of the Bio Grande
frontier is inhabited by Mexicans who se
cretly sympathize with and aid the robbers.
It is announced from Washington that
measures will at once be taken by the gov
emment to strike the Mexican outlaws, and
it is not improbable that a general Mexican
war will follow.
Mexican banditti are again at their
depredations on the Rio Grande border.
A large gang of them crossed the river
near Corpus Christi on Friday, and car
ried off seven Americans prisoners, besides
robbing several stores. Their are two
sides to these Mexican troubles : ono where
thje Mexicans come over here and steal,
and the other when predatory Texans go
over ou to Mexican soil. Iu the former
case we hear a great deal about "outrages
on American citizens." &c, but when tho
Mexican bull is gored the Texas press
maintains a dignified silence, and the
American ertslo sits calmly on his perch.

VIOLENT MOVEMENTS IN THE COAL RE
GION. Malxii Chunk. March 29. Intelligence
has been received here that about 9 o'clock
an outbreak occured at the collieries at
Buck Mountain, Ecylcy, Drifton, Jeddo,
Ebervale, aud Hazleton, committed by a
large mob of miners. In a state of frenzied
excitement they started simultaneously at
Buck Mountain and Eckley wilh the deter
mination to visit all the mines in their
neighborhood. They disarmed the special
police from Philadelphia stationed at Buck
Mountain aud took the arras along, sixteen
guns and revolvers. They them went to
the Jeddo colliery, where Policeman King
was shot in the head, but not fatally
wouuded. Policemen Warmer and Meyer
were badly beaten with clubs aud their
weapons taken. At each place visited the
men at work were forced to go with them,
as follows : At Eckley, Drifton, Jeddo,
and Ebervale.
They called at Mount Pleasant colliery,
forcing the men there to go with them with
the avowed determination to make them
quit work, although Mr. Taggart is pay in
those in his employ the rales ot the 1874
basis. The men went and no damage to
property has been done so far, but it is not
known whether they will resume work at
his colliery. The rioters marched through
Hazleton 2.20 P. M., where Father O'llar
ra, the Roman Catholic priest, advised and
exhorted them to return peaceably to their
homes. At the last accounts they were
quietly disbanding. There is a general
feeling expressed that if the miners continue
this outrageous conduct the operators will
call on the Governor for troops, and it is
thought that rigorous measures should be
taken at once.
(SECOND DISPATCH. 1
Macch Chunk, Pa March 29. The
raiders, knowing that Mr. Taggart had not
signed for the whole of 1875, though the
men in his employ were paid ou the basis
1874, determined to call and make him Bign.
On learning of their coming, Mr. Taggart
met the rioters near Hazleton and signed
the agreement in their presence, aud they
did not go to his collieries, as first report
ed. A large company of men was raised
in Hazleton and taken to Stockton, where
they did picket duty, but returned home
alter tho news came of the retreat of the
raiders. All is reported as being quiet in
the places visited, but it is imposible to say
how long it will last.
TIIE STRIKE AT SCHUYLKILL HAVEN.
Pottsville, March 29. The informa
ation received yesterday and published
here and elsewhere regarding the strike of
the mechanics and workiagmen in the em
ploy of the Reading Railroad Company at
Schuylkill Haven, as having renounced tho
association and resumed work on the rail
road to-day, is without foundation. The
president of the branch at that place, in re
ply to inquires made for the facts, tele
graphs, denying it, and saying that the
branch was still firm and there had been uo
renunciatiou. The men ou other portions
of the road still refuse to leave their organ
ization and resume work, for which they
have been suspended. Reports from Sha
mokin state that their miners who have
heretofore to join the Mechanics' and
Workingmeu's Benevolent Association,
now out on a strike for the 1874 basis, have
been induced to join and have quietly dur
ing the last week, in large numbers, been
admitted as members. A majority of these
miners have been working at that place re
gardless of any basis, the prices of mining
and labor being arranged between the vari
ous individual operators and themselves.
Fears are now entertained that this state
of affairs will not last long, and we may
expect them to join the strikers any day,
which would make it a general strike in
this vicinity. There has been no incen
diarism or acts of violence to report last
night and to-day, though an engine was
run off the track near here on Saturday
night, and at Mt. CarracI the freight depot
was broken open and a quantity of flour
stolen. In several towns in this region the
storekeepers have refused to trust the
miners any longer.
A CONTRADICTORY STATEMENT.
Pottsville, March 29. The informa
tion sent from this place yesterday, to tbe
effort that the employes of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railraad Company had re
sumed work at Cressona and Schuylkill
Haven proves correct. Their carshops at
the former place, where over a thousand
cars are repaired weekly, and immense
machine shops have all their employes at
work to a man. The engineers and train
men of the Mine Hill division have report
ed for work, and this ends the suspension
these localities. It is due to those em
ployes who have sundered their connection
with the Mechanic's and Workingmen's
Beneficial Association to accept their state
ment, that they joined that order under the
mistaken impression that it was a charita
ble and beneficial association, and the overt
acts of insubordination directed by the
branches north of the mountains are disap
proved of by them to the extent of their
abandoning their connection with the as
sociation. MINNESOTA.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT -A FAMILY OF

mother and five children were on fire.
Colson finally dashed nut the window and
rescued his family, but in a sad condition.
They all dragged themselves to the nearest
neighbors, a mile distant, barefooted and
naked, leaving tracks of their progress in
the snow all the way. The father and two
children have died of their injuries, aud it
is thought that the mother and remaining
children cannot long survive.
Captured After Many Years.
Iock Haven. Pa., March 29. An im
portant arrest has been made by Messrs.
E. G. Rathbone, J. C. Rathbone, A. B.
Miller, Robert Denmore, and Thos. Me
eaffey (the three first-named connected
with the United States Secret Service), in
the person of Joseph Lansberry, who kill
ed Col. Cyrus Butler in 1864, while at
tempting to arrest the said Lansberry, as
a deserter from the United Slates army,
in Clearfield county, Pa. Lansberry was
at the head of a gang of desperadoes who
defied the authorities. He was arrested
to-day near English Centre, Lycoming
county, Pa., and is now an occupant of the
Fallon House. The culprit feigns sick
ness, aud has given his captors considera
ble trouble. The physician does not con
sider the case a bad one.
The Pennsjlvauia Rivers Pros
peet at Exposed Point.
Renova, Pa., March 31.
The ice moved at Glen Union this A. M.,
but stopped again without damage as yet.
The river is fifteen inches higher than
yesterday.
Lock Haven, March 31.
The ice gorge at Glen Union started this
morning about nine o'clock with a raise in
the river at that point of twelve feet. The
river here is rising now. The ice at Queen
Run dam is moving out now. The flood
is expected to reach here iu two hours.
Williamspout, March 31.
The river rose six inches here last night.
The ice at Lock Haven commenced mov
ing last night, but stopped at the head of
the boom, seven miles above here. The
Glen Union gorge commenced moving ut
nne o'clock this morning. It is hoped
that the ice in the dam and boom here will
move out before the ice from Glen Union
reaches this point, At Watsoutowu the
water rose seven inches, but everything is
safe.
Wilkesbarre. Pa., March 31.
The river rose one foot last night, and is
still rising. The Lehigh Valley Railroad
track between Wilkesbarre and Pi its ton is
covered with six inches of water. The
river is now eighteen above low water
mark. Crowds are congregated along the
river bauk in anticipation of the gorge
moving, which may occur at any moment.
The weather is mild and pleasant.
Columbia, Pa., March 31.
The river raised very little here last
night. Submarine divers are at work ex
amining tbe bridge piers that were damag
ed by the ice freshet of March ISth. They
report one pier as seriously damaged.
Delaware Water Gap, March 31.
The river here is continually on the rise,
and has now reached a stage that may
bring tho ice down at any time.
Reports from above say that the gorge is
in motion, or rather that portions of it are
being shoved from place to place by the
action of the water. The gorge holds the
water back in the manner of a huge dam,
Port Deposit, Md., March 31.
The ice gorge here has passed away, and
the river is clear of ice. The river is rising
slowly, but no alarm is felt, as the water
must certainly reach a height that its pow
cr will he greater than the ice can resist ;
then everything will come down together
There are probabilities that this will be
accomplished to-day or to-morrow, particu
larly as the sky is overcast and threatens
rain. The railroad officials are constantly
traveling to and fro, and the utmost anxie
ty is felt. A water freshet can do no harm.
LATER.
Willi amsfort, March 312:00 P. M.
There is no change in the river at this
place. The ice from Glen Union gorge is
moviug quietly along, with enough water
to carry i-ovcr the Lock Haven dam with
out doing any damage.
Washington, March 29. F. E. Spinner
has at length fulfilled his oft-repeated
threat to resign the office of United States
Treasurer, which he has held for more that
fourteen years. His resignation, tendered
and accepted to day, was brought about by
a conflict between the Treasurer and the
Secretary of the Treasury on the question
of appointments in the office of the former.
The difficulty dates back almost to the time
when Secretary Bristow came into office.
General Spiuner, in consideration of the
fact that he had to give very heavy security,
five huudred thousand dollars, for the faith
ful management of the office, and that he
and his sureties were responsible for any
losses that might occur, thought he had the
right to appoint the chief meu of the bu
reau. At first he succeeded iu overriding
tbe Secretary, but upon his last appoint
ment, that of Colonel Jones, to be cashier,
Mr. Bristow took a firm stand and sub
mit U d the matter to the President. The
latter sustained the Secretary, and Spinner
at once resigned. Uis successor, John C.
New, a bank president of Indianapolis, was
appointed at the instance of Senator Mor
ton. Mr. New arrived here to-day and will
accept the place. Spinner wan appointed
in 18C1. and. although he has haudled more
money than probably any other man in the
United States, the Government has never
lost a dollar through him. It is understood
Spinner's retirement will be followed by a
reorganization of the Treasurer's Bureau.
Correspondence.
OUR SEW YORK EETTER.
A GAMBLING HOUSE BEECnER-TILTON
A CnARITY BUSINESS.
From Our New York Correspondent.
New York, JarcA 30, 1875.
the lair of the tiger.
Last week I gave some idea of the cost of
a grand hotel and the method of running
it. This week I propose to devote my
space to another kind of a resort for way
farersone that costs you more money to
tarry in, but which will give you, possibly,
more excitement, than even the best hotel
in the great city.
Ou Broadway, near Union Square, is a
plain, unpretending house, just such a one
as you would suppose a good, solid, retired
merchant would live in, were it farther re
moved from business. A good, solid, re
tired merchant docs not live in it, however,
nor is it a residence at all. It is a faro
bank or in other words a gambling hell ;
a place in which young men and old.strang
ers and residents, go either for gain or ex
citement, aud where they meet ruin just as
surely as they stay long enough and are
sufficiently industrious and perseveriug.
The interior of tne house belies tho ex
terior that is to say, the inside is as gorge
ous as the outside is plain. The halls are
all beautifully wide, the rooms are all high
and spacious, and the furnishing is as mag
nificent as money can purchase. Theread-ing-rooui
is wonderfully fine. A velvet car
pet of Persian design covers the floor. Silk
andf lace shade the windows. The most
costly upholstery is scattered around. A
stand ujHn which are placed all the leadiug
daily jounals of the country occupies the
center of the floor. At the right of this is
the wine room, where you see no liquors,
but a gorgeous Ethiopian, elaborately
dressed, is in waiting, and all you
have to do is to intimate your desire
and whatever that is you get it without
money or price, Everything is free.
Back of the wine-room is the gambling
hall, which is more gorgeously furnished
than any of the others. Lace curtains,
costly carpets, costly pictures, exquisite
statuary everything that is tasteful and
beautiful is here.
In tbe centre of the room the tables are
ranged. That is a faro table at the right.
There is an elevation in the center, longer
than it is wide, upon which are painted
Borne cards of each suit. This is done that
you can designate your favorite card with
out speaking. At every table at which
cards are played all is fixed, that the game
may move on in silence. Faro is the
American gambling game, just as montc is
Mexican. The next table is for English
hazards ; you stake your money on the
throw of the dice. Then there is roulette,
trente-et-quarante, and any other game
that the devil ever invented to capture souls
with.
You shall see in these rooms men of all
ages and conditions. At the faro tables,
side by side, will be seen grey-haired men
and beardless boys. The grey haired man
has played faro since he was a beardless
boy, and has wasted on tbe game all the
fortune he inherited, all the proflts of his
business, and all he has begged, borrowed
or stolen since. He believes that he has
learned a system by which he can break
any bank, aud he has been trying to do it
I thirty years. He plays very low now, for
five dollar notes are not easy to get, but bis
faith is unshaken. He will die some night
and will be carted out to Potter's field.
But as loug as he can raise ten dollars and
cau keep a clean shirt collar, he is welcome.
The beardless hoy has just commenced, but
he will go the same road. He will play and
play till he robs his father or employer,
then he will either become a professisnal
and plunder others, or he will degenerate
into a perpetual pigeon, aud, in time, be
come a miserable old man, playing con
stantly in the hope of retrieving his
fortunes.
In addition to these there are a dozen of
more country ruerchauts who drop in to
lose ten dollars or so for a night's amuse
ment, and as many more wealthy New
Yorkers, who play because they get up too
heavy an excitement at their business dur
ing the day to let up without this to taper
off with.
At midnight a gorgeous supper is served,
which, like everything else, is free. The
dining room and the kitchens below exceed
Delmouico's in all that which goes to make
their specialties perfection. Venison from
tbe Adirondacks, birds from the Southern
marshes, fish from the lonely woods whtre
rolls the Oregon, which gives no sound but
its own plashing, save that made by the
fisherman casting in his net, frogs from the
pond ut the foot of Washington monument.
All this is served ou daintist porcelain.
freshest linen, and silent as the shadows of
Hades, move silently ou their round of dU'
ties. Wines the most cost costly, and ci
gars the most expensive, are served, and
all free as water. The amiable proprietor
chargeB nothing all his profits come from
the tables.
And how does he get bis profits to sus
tain enormous expenditure ? Easy enough
Tbe game is played fairly in the public
rooms, but even then there is 24 per cent
in favor of the bank, so that in any event
the bank is certain to win everything if the
play is continued long enough. But on the
upper floor there is the private game, to
which the general public is not admitted
Iu these rooms the rich young idiot is tilled
with wine he is lucky if he be not drugged
he plays against a dealer who can deal
the cards exactly as be chooses, and the
young man, after he has been nursed suffi
ciently, is never allowed to go away with
out losing all that he can afford to pay with
out making a row about it. They calcu
late that a young broker with a rich father
will stand plucking to the amouut of 20,
000, and they make him lose that amouut.
He will pay it as a rule rather than make a
fuss, and before he gets sober they take his
note.
And they have one of this kind on the
carpet all the time.
These places are excellent good ones to
keep out of. Xu decent man should ever
go into one, even for fun.
BEECHER-TILTON.
I shall not say much about this matter
this time. The fact is, it has got too nasty
to be fit matter for the public prints.
Eack day's proceedings grow nastier aud
nastier in brief, is too filthy to touch.
Bessie Turner, a girl of eighteen, is put
upou the stand, aud she talks flippantly of
scense that would disgrace a baguio, and
the prudent people iu attendance applaud
her. Beecher, Tillon, Mrs. Tilton aud the
whole party are irretrievable ruiued, and
tbat is all there is about it. The evidence
shows them all to be either the most lasci
vious, lecherous persons on tbe earth, or
the most infamous liars that ever did exist.
It is curious that the public does not in
sist upon a stoppage of this filth in some
way It is too bad that the ublic prints
should be 61!ed day after day with this hor
rid stuff. Good people, refuse to read it.
What matters it to you which of the lechers
is the most guilty ?
A "CHARITY" NURSERY.
While New York's private chanties are
absolutely magnificent in their extent and
management, the public ones are as miser
able as thieving politicals can make them.
Tbis is the way a charity nursery is man
aged, as shown by an investigating commit
tee : Five hunderd little children were in a
building in which not only had the panes
of glass disappeared, but the sash was also
gone, and in one story of the building over
200 panes of glass were broken out. The
cold wind filled every room, but could not
drive away the smell coming from the bath
rooms and closets. The little children in
the wards were generally huddled together
at tho lee side of one of the beds, for the
purpose of keeping themselves warm.
Their hand were red and swollen, and their
faces blue and pinched with cold. The
tax payers have paid ten times enough to
have made the buildiug comfortable, but
the tLoney was stolen, and the children are
dying four a day.
BUSINESS
is improving every day, and the prospect
brightens. Thank heaven for that, for it
has been a long aud dreary wait. Mer
chants are buying freely, and there are
many of them here. The prospect improves
daily. Pietro.
We received the following letter from Mr. Mo
ses Marx. It will b remembered by our rea"
d.T8 tbat some time in January Mesare.MarOp
pciiheiiner and Berzfelder, left Sunbury ou a, vi
sit to their friends iu Germany :
Reichenbach, March 8, 133.
.Ye. WUvett:
Having promised to write to you, I will fulfill
my promise. Alter a pleasant voyage, I arrived
here im tbe 5( u of February after an absence in
America of 8 years. To describe the let-lings
of myself au.l Ihvwe of my friends upou our
meeting atraiu after a lapse of so lout; a period,
i impossible, fo 1 leave it to your irainakjination.
I presume you have already seen iu tbe paper
how we fared while crossing the ocean. We
made the voyage from New York to Hamburg in
12 days. 1 will give you a little idea of oar ex
perience during tbe voyage. Ion remember I
left bunbury tor Europe to recuperate my health.
Tbe tirsl night on sea, I was like the rest, all
right. I inquired next morning of the doctor
:8 to tbe manner iu wbieh I should live to suit
the condition of my health. The next morning I
had a touch of sea sickness. It in a well known
fact that this character of sickness Is beneficial
to persou in a certain condition of health is al
most a sure cure. For live days I was always on
deck, as tbe doctor required me to be there.
One of tbe stewards brought me all my meals,
and I only ate half the time. These instructions
of the doctor's were to prevent sea sickness. My
companions did the same thiug, with the ex
ception ot Mr. S. Wies, of Seiiusrove. He did
bol want tbe ship company to make much mo
ney out of him, so he ate freely and took out bis
boarding. But it did not last loug, and when ev
erybody was well he was sick. After we left
England and returned to sea agaiD, he wished he
bad obeyed tbe doctor's instructions, and spent
bis time on deck with us. I know you will all
be gad to hear tbat I fcel as hearty as I have ev
er felt ; really I enjoy right good hca.lu. On
my return voyage I will lire exactly as I did
comiDir out. Mr. Wics of Selinsgrove, will soon
) return ; undoubtedly he will stay more than five
; days on deck, and will not eat as much as the
( company will give him.
I have viited a good many cities already
one of which is a little interesting, and known
throughout tbe world. It is tbe place where all
doctor's around here must study Heidelburg.
From Heidelberg 1 came up to castle Shioss,took
a man along to show and explain all the interest
ing points. First we came to the cellar wuere
we saw tbe first small barrel ; it will hold 60,
000 bottles of wine. Tben we went for the large
barrel, known all over tbe world as tbe la rest
barrel ; it will hold 300,000 bottles. It was built
by Carl Theodore Id 1751. and was filled three
times, tbe last time in I"6i. Tbe spigot is fitted
up to accommodate 8 couples iu a dance, wilh
teats all around. We uext came to a barrel witb
a capacity of 'MOO bottles of wine,w bieb is put to
gether without bunds. Tbe rustle was built by
Frederick IV in 1C07. and was paitly destroyed
by tbe French General Mel Ink in 16S0. Ku
brecht the first started the Uuiversatat. Carl
I'Uilip was the last one wbo occupied tbe Castle,
and bad some of the parts destroyed built np
again. A chapel or church was built by Ku
brecbt the 1st iu 1340, and is the only pluce not
destroyed, und it is kept very nice yet. There
was a part built to it iu 161'i which was mostly
destroyed. There was a very high steeple
(Tburm) on the castle built by Ludwig 5th. Tbe
wall is J2 feet thick, and about ZOO teet high.
Only one half of it is standing now. We were
on the top of the steeple, and we contd see about
1UC miles, distant. Below is the river Neckar,
and the beautiful Heidelberg with about 25,000
iubabilauts. To the right is the mountain Gel
selbcrg, to the left Heiligeuberg, and from there
a person can see, not so very far off, tbe Swhar
wald aud Odenwald, then SO miles off, moun
tain ILrdgabirg. We saw .-igbt before us tbe
beautiful, blue Rhine with tbe charming Mann
heim (a city) about ten miles distant. A num
ber of statues is to be seeu representing tbe per
sous who built tbe cast.e. As It was built in
parts at different periods, each build r has his
statuary representation beginning with Cbur
flist. There are two sta ues representing Fried
rich 5th. and Ludwii; 5th. These are the two
nicest ones of all. Around these two statues
is an evergreen 2UU years old. Next re camu to
the jail. Tbe wall is 15 feet thick, and 150 feet
in tbe ground. It Is called Nevereiupiy, because
it was always full of prisoners. Tbe oldest part
of the caxtle is standing since 1-1M, which was
built by .Rudolph 1st. Arouud the castle it is
dug out, and in time of war it was tilled witb
water 15 feet deep, so an enemy could not easi
ly gel over it. Next we came to the hall where
the Reici:tg generally was the place where
all tbe German Emperors came together. It was
built by Rubrecbl SJ in 1400. Then we came to
the kitchen where at festivals they roasted a
whole ox ou a Sier. Next we came to the pow
der magazine. It wus built in 14bJ by Freide-
rich the 1st. It is built of sandstoue, and looks
like a steeple ; half is still standing. Tben we
came to a place where the room baa got eight
corners, three stories high, and on the top of tbe
third story theic was a steeple with a clock in it,
which every hour pluyed a ualional air. It was
struck by lightning in 154 aud partly destroyed
wilh a number of other places of interest. It
was growiug towards evening, but for ail that
we went up to a place called Malkenkar. It is
700 feel above the level of tbe river below. Tbere
the old castle formerly stood, now tbere is a
tine hotel and restaurant standing upon its site.
where we ate some bread and butter, and drank
some of the water which epriugs from the Rhine
As 1 said before, Carl Philip was the last one who
occupied the castle. He bad a fali out with the
people of Heidleberg on account of a church,
which be wished to oppress, bin was' required to
do justice to the church by the other Emperors
or war would be the result. Jn resentment be
built himself a cattle iu Mannheim, and moved
tbere. I will visit that place within a few days
to see all that can be seen there, rroru tbere 1
will go to Worms and see the intereting points
in regard to turner, aua ine nine o. iue reior
matiun. I am here now, and I'll go as far as I
can. I will endeavor to see nil lh big cities.
and everything of interest iu other places relating
to the olden time.
My friends Mr. Oppcnheiraer and nerx elder,
eniov very good health. We will all meet here
on tbe 22d of this month. Mr. Weis from Se-
linsirrove. Einil Shoit from Milllintown, also Mr,
A. S'rouse from 8hamokin. will come here. We
will trr to have a fine time.
I wiil bring my letter to a close for this time
Honing all in Bunbury are enjoying the same de
gree of health that I do, I present my best re
gards to all my friends, and remain

I feel bound to express with my signature the

TIIE BEST EVIDENCE.
The following letter rrom Rev. E. S. Best,
Pator of tbe M. E. Church, Natick, Mass., will
be read with interest by many physicians ; also
tboe suffering I rum the same disease as afflicted
the Son of tbe Rev. E. S. Best. No person can
doubt tbis testimony, an there is do doubt about
the enrative power or VEGETINE.
Natick, Mass., Jas. 1st, IS
MR. H. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir We have good reasons for regard
ing VEGETINE a medicine of tbe greatest value.
We leel assured that it has been" the means of
saveing our son's lfe. He is now seveuleen
years of age ; for the last two years be has suf
fered from uecrosis of his leg, caused by scruful
ous affection, and was so far reduced that nearly
all wbo saw him thought his recovery imposeible.
A council of able physicians could give us but
the faintest hope of his ever rallying ; two of the
n'imber de taring tbat he was beyond the reach
of human remedies, that even amputation could
not save him, as he bad not viger enough to en
dure the operation. -Just then we commenced
giving him VEGETINE and rrom tbat time to
the present he has been continuously improving.
He has lately resumed studies, thrown away his
crutches and eane, .md walks about cheerfully
and strong.
Though there is still s me discharge from the
opening where bis limb was lanced, e have the
fullest confidence that in a little time be will be
perfectly cured. '
He has taken about three dozen bottles of
VEGETINE, but lately nse but little, as he de
clares he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
E. 8. BEST,
Mrs. L. C. F. BEST.
