outfit or only a siDgle garment, Lew
in's is the proper place to go. He is
just now giving away 10.000 musical
whips and canes, an attractive and
amusing novelty. Every purchaser of

the papers stating thrft our colored

big. How is it, Sam V

rious classes of goods, especially in the

prints and flresS goods. This sale will
afford a good opportunity to the public

—The large new Spring Mills House
will be forumll opened for business this
evening, after w'h'ifch it xVfil l>e ready
for guests, either tiansient or regular
boarders. A great niinV invitations
have been issued to attend the opening
and a good time is expected. Mr. Nash,
the proprietor, is represented to be an
experienced hotelist as well as a
thorough gentleman. It is his purpose
to make the Spring Mills House a first
class resort in all respects. Nature has
highly favored this particular spot. We
do not know of a place anywhere that
has more varied or more l>eautiful
scenery than Spring Mjlls and its vi
cinity. It is aH that the itdmirer 6f
naturre, the lover ot true rural beauty
could desire. Under good management
the Spring Milft House will be a de
lightful retreat for people weary and
tired of the dim and noise, the dust
and heat of city life.
THE ROYCE REAPER —Mr. Lem.
Campbell, wh. has recently "become a
resident of Sunbury, is general agent
for the sale of the Royce Reaper, one
of the popular machines of the day,
manufactured i yL. Sweet & Co., at
Wellsville, N. Y. As an indication
of the increasing popularity of these
machines we wril state tnat Mr. Camp
bell took the agency for them in this
neighborhood in INTO, in Which year be
sold 24 of them; in 1880 his salesamoun
tedto 52 and in 'Bl theuuniber he liand
led ran up to 128, an increase of over one
hundred psr cent, each year. He has
orders already for over TOO this season,
and will no doubt double tbatlrumber
before harvest. We doubt whether any
other machine '■can show an equal in
crease in popularity in the same
length of time. This may be attributed
to the excellen' qualities of tlie Royce
Reaper, it being of the lightest draught
and is the easiest handled machine in
the market, and a3 to durability it is
unexcelled, lie is also selling the best
in the market, together with
rakes and a general variety of agricul
tural implements. 3t
For the JOURNAL.
MR. EDITOR:— The visiting delegates
to the Aaronsbnrg Sunday School Con
vention and Women's Missionary
Meeting, have returned to their homes
Jiighly pleased with the christian wel
come and fellowship of the good people
of that Lutheran st ronghold. The es
says and addresses by ministers and
delegates, aud particularly the lectures
by Rev. Dr. GotwaM, as well as the
excellent music, were all greatly en
joyed, and the woiken returned to
their respective places in the great
vineyard to labor with greater zealous
ness and stronger faith. The kind
hands who decorated the palpit and
church with such magnificent, blootfi
ingpU.its and flowers surely performed a
deed of love. The floral display was
regarded by many as one of the hand
somest ever seen at any like occasion.
May all the Sunday School workers
present, as well as the ladies in their
missionary work, have received a new
impetus to work for God's cause while
it is called to-day.

I. J. Grenoble, the enterprising busi
ness man of this town, is still selling

SA3I PATCH.
—David, a son of our townsman,
Mr. John Stoner, had the misfortune
to shoot himself through his right
hand DU last Sunday evening. After
co ming home from church service he
retired to his room taking along the
lamp and a revolver, lie examined
and adjusted the weapon when the
load was discharged, the hall entering
the palm of his rffcht hand and coming
out on top of his third finger. 110 is
doing as well as can be exacted.
THE GREAT FRAUD STOPPED.
End of the GraveyHd Ineuranoe
Buaiuees.
The Dauphin count/ court on
Thursday the 11th, dissolved almost
the entire number of mutual assessment
Insurance companies "which Were lately
proceeded against by the attorney gen
eral at the instance of the insurance
commissioners of the state. The num
ber which the insurance commissioner
alleges haVe been found doing business
in violation of their chartered privile
ges is 213, and against all these pro
ceedings bad been instituted with a
view to their dissolution. A large
majority of the companies, which made
answer to the order of the court, re
quiring them to show cause why their
business should not be closed, stated
that they were constrained to submit
to the revocation of their charters bo
cause the mutual assessment insurance
business has been rendered unprofita
ble. Some charge their misfortunes 011
other companies which are claimed to
have done a disreputable business. A
bout twenty companies have filed
answers contesting the right ot the
commonwealth to dissolve them on the
allegations made against them. These
will all lie. held over until the first
Monday in' June before further proceed
ings will lie instituted. The work of
the day W.TS very quiet, and little or no
interest was manifested in the routine
work of issuing such degrees.
Thus ends one of the greatest frauds
that lias ever cursed our good old state.
The credulous public, and unfortu
nately in most cases, people who could
but illy afford the loss, have been stvir
dled out of hundreds of ■thousands of
dollars. And that the gigantic hum
bug has even now been throttled, is
due in a great measure to the independ
ent and fearless voice of the public
■press. :

Charles Smith, of Chillisqunque twp.,

may talk.
Captain Bloomer, a veteran of the
war of 1812, died at Ilawley, Pa., on
the 27th ult. There was an insurance
of $60,000 on his life by graveyard in
surance simulators, who have paid
over $30(0 in assessments, and who
wr'd receive no return on account of
the companies having been recently
closed by Attorney General Palmer.

How a Wealthy Man Wap
Treated by His Wife.
CHICAGO, May 9.—John NewhouSe,
a wealthy man, disappeared from View
a few years ago, and his death has re
sulted in an investigation. He has
been kept all these years by his wife a
prisoner in an out-of-the-way room in
the mansion and denied any clothing
with which to escape and all but
the poorest food. When dying he
was refused a pillow to lay his head
upon. Michigan avenue society is ex
cited over the developments.
A decision was rendered by the su
preme court of the United States in the
case of Sergeant Jolm A., Mason, upon
application for a writ of habeas corpus.
The court, in a carefully prepared opin
ion by the chief justice, decided that
the court martial had full jurisdiction
to try the offense charged; that its pro
ceedings were all within its proper ju
risdiction, and that the sentence pro
nounced was not in excess of its power.
The petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus is, therefore, denied, and the rule
to *3how cause discharged.
