That's not the unnerstanding in these

you say At toruey General Palmer de
cided, you may be right. Who knows,
who can tell ?
LEWIN,—of the Philadelphia Branch
Clothing Store, is ooe of the most ac
commodating merchants one can meet.
He will cheerfully show his good 3, eyen
if you do not buy. Hut you will almost
surely return aud buy at the Branch,
after having priced goods elsewhere.
Clothing, hats and caps and gents' fur
nishing goods oE every grade and price
cheaper than the cheapest.
THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.—An ediet
signed by the Ciar, and published in
the official Gazette of St. Petersburg,
virtually bankrupts every wealthy Jew
in Russia. It provisionally suspends
all payment for cootraets or debts due
to Jews, prohibits them from settling
outside towns and villages, and others
wise provides for their speedy extirpa
tion throughout Czirdom.
A fearful storm lias again swept ov
er tho storm-stricken west, causing
great destruction to life and property.
On Saturday St. Louis, Kausas City,
Leavenworth and fowa City were each
visited by severe storms, causing much
damage aud some loss of life, but the
tornado in lowa on Sunday must have
been fearful. The following brier ac
count we clip from the patriot of Mon
day:
Frightful Loaft Of Life in lowa.
Des MOINES, June 18.—A tornado
swebt through Central lowa late last
night from the northwest to the south
east for twenty miles north of Des
Moines* The town of Grinnel was
struck bv it, and the half of the town
was left in ruins. The first startling
reports of the loss of life were soon
confirmed, and later and authentic re
l>orts swell the list of dead at Grinnell
to about forty, with several severely
hurt and the Cornell college buildings
ruined. Light at least were also killed
at Malcolm station and several living
in the farming district.
There w r as quite an excitement in
Sunbury on Tuesday ever the sinking
of the first crib of the new railroad
bridge. A large number of people
were on the wharves and banks watch
ing the operation. The stone used to
sink the crib were procured at Blue
Ilill. The diver, clad in his gum suit
and helmet of glittering copper, was
the object of admiration of all the
small boys, and they were on hand in
force. The large stone for building
the piers have not been con
tracted for as yet, although there is
some talk of getting them from near
Lewistown. After considerable work
the crib was sunk to its proper posi
tion, it fitting on the bottom perfect
ly.- Sunbury Democrat.
—lf petty thieving continues here as
it has been going on for some weeks,
our borough fathers ought to appoint
night police. Campbell's corn and flour
Walter's lard and ham, Kister's boots
and shoes, Dave Ulrich's chickens,
Wra* llJSinith'B ham andJcoffee*and|the
editor's coat and "snits" have all gone
where the woodbine twineth. Of course
all but the last named victim can well
afford to stand these little los se.s, but
when people begin to steal from poor
printers they must indeed bo very hard
up or else most desperately wicked. It
shows a lack of discrimination and
depth of depravity that is absolutly ap
palling, even in these degenerate days.
No, there can be too inueh even of a
good thing, and we seriously submit
the matter to the consideration of our
council.
—Saabury is fast becoming a big
phce, as will be seen from the notice
below. The Sunbnryans bad better
get a law passed declaring tbe ancient
bUrg a seaport, which would give them
a score of revenue officers to spend fat
salaries among its business men and
hotels. But before they do that they
should compel their "Stinking
council to get a street sprinkler;
The steamboat "Louie** has been
leased by the P. & It. Engineers to run
between Sunbury and Lewisbitrg, daily
except Suuday. Passengers will be ta
ken for Northumberland, tVinffeld and
Lewisburg. The boat will leave at 7a.
m. from the foot of Market street. He
turning, it will leave
ra. andl.3o p. m. for Sunbury. The fare
is, Northumberland, 10 cents; Winfield
13 cents, and Lewisburg, 23 cents.

Hewitt, Pilot,
—Ou the 27th of June instant, lowa
will vote on the ratification of on a-1
mendment to her Constitution,' prohi
biting the ra inufacture and sale of in
toxicating beverages within the state.
Tbe liquor fraternity all over the coun
ty are fully alive to the important bear*
ing of this event on their business, and
are pouring both money and speakers
into the state to effect the Vote. The
temperance people also, are vigilant
aud hopeful.
The 14? W. C. Temperance Unions
of Penna. have b<en called upon to
meet for prayer on ttie day of Voting.
Will not all pastors and christian peo
ple give their encouragement and co
operation ? Where a special service is
not practicable request that
the coming struggle be made the topic
for the regular piavcrmeetiug immedi
ately proceeding the 27th. And will our
brethren and pastors, suffer the sugges
tion that June 23th be made Tempe
rance Sabbath over our State ? Please
preach on temperaace and pray public
ly for lowa.

Mr. Charles F, Hennich is making
brick on a rather large scale, having

er thus far has not been very favorable
for the business.
Mr. Jas. D. Gentzel while at Work
at George Gentzel's house, fell from a
scaffold, which gave wav, about fifteen
1 feet. He is pretty badly used up but
able to be about.
Last Friday evening during the
heavy thunder storm the lightning
struck the barn of Mr. Wm. F. Rear
ick. It was a cold stroke but knocked
shingles, boards and studding into
kindling.
SAM PATCH,

ing on Monday evening voted to have

COMMENCEMENT AT NEW
BERLIN, PA.
NEOCOSMIAN LIT EH Alt Y ANNI
VERSARY.
On the eve of June Oth the Anniversa
ry exercises of the Neocosmian Litera
ry Society took place.
The weather was very pleasant dur
ing the day and a western breeze made
it cool enough to enjoy tho entertain
ment in full on the evening.
The chapel of Union Seminary was
filial with attentive hearers who had
come to greet the Neocosmians again.
The programme *was welt arranged,
and the speakers did their part with
credit, and consisted of prayer by Rev.

credit on the "boys."
"Onward" is tho motto o! this worthy
Literary Band*
EXCELSIOR LITERARY ANNI
VERSARY.
On Saturday morning, June 10th,
"Old SoP* sent forth again his delight
ful rays of light and warmth, yet by
2 P. M.'the gentle rains fell thus water
ing this nart of old mother earth.
At about 7 P. M. the rains ceased
and, as New Berlin scarcely ever has
muddy roads, made it the more pleas
ant for the Entertainment of the Ex
celsior Literary Society.
With "the shades of night" came the
crowd of attendants, filling, to its ut
most, the chapel of "Old Union Sem."
Music was again funlimited by the
cornet band, and after prayer by the
Rev. 11. B. flartzler, Ed. of the Evan
gelical Messenger, the Salutatory was
delivered by T. C. Conscr, The Scien
tific Gem by t\ LongsdorP, Debate by
C. B. Witmer (alt.) and 1). L. Kepncr
(meg-.); Prophecy by D. 11. K linger;
Sentiments of *76 by A Boy From
Home; Valedictory by M. C. Gepbart,
and Benediction by Rev J. Young.
The programme was nicely and well
arranged and was suited to the wants
of the light-hearted and sober-minded.
Each part Was performed with effect,
in Mirth or Sobriety. Longfellow's
Boy, Excelsior they love and "Higher"
they strive to climb.
(To be conclu'lel next week.)
Starvation tnVirgStiia.
Advices from Patrick county, Vir
ginia, on the southern border of tbe
state, in the Blue Ridge Mountains,
give the distressing information that
from five to eight thousand people are
actually starving for want of food.
Corn meal aud flour cannot be obtain
ed for love or money. The crops last
fall were almost a failure. Not a drop
of rain fell from early in April to Oct
ober. The ground became as dry as
powder. Corn Withered and died. Al
most everything green was burned up
by the hot rays of tbe sun and tbe
farmers were able to save but little
from their Gelds of wheat. This little
lasted them through the winter, but it
has long since given ont. For some
time past tbe have been living
on the scanty supplies forwarded from
Danville and Richmond. But these
were not sufficient to go around, and
now several thousand people are not
only suffering for want of food but
starvation stares them in the face. In
deed, there have been a number of
deaths already, directly traceable tojthe
lack of food..
Over a thousand bushels of corn have
already been forwarded from Danville
and this does not include contributions
from Richmond. But these supplies are
but a drop in the bucket. The appeals
for help come pouring in day by day
and must continue until the latter part
of July, when the new crops can be de*
pended upon. The famine is wide
spread. It not only effects the poor,
but strikes home at the well-to-do,
There are many families in Patrick
county who are in very comfortable
circumstances as far as money goefi,
but money does not help them uovV,
There is no food to be bought unless
ordered from some distant point.
Most of the distributions of provi
sions are made at Patrick Court House.
Supplies are sent by rail to Burnt
Chimneys, inllenry county, and then
hauled in wagons. People who have
visited the famine-strickea county tell
sorrowful tales of the sights witnessed.
Farmers along the country roads, suff
ering for want of food, will not be able
to harvest their crops unless help
reaches them. Their pinched faces
speak the suffering which they are forc
ed to endure. Some of them have not
seen a loaf of bread for many a day.
These facts are not exaggerating in the
least. The appeals which come up from
the famine-stricken region tell the tale
of distress. When a wagon of corn ar
rives at Patrick Court House people
cannot wait to be served. They thrust
their hands into the bags and knaw at
the kernels to alleviate their hunger. A
pock of corn is a priie which will bring
a man many a mile. It is sorrowful to
see children, with theif wan faces,
eageily grasping a handful of the gol
den treasure and carefully guarding
every kernel. They cannot wait for
the corn to be ground. Two or three
hundred men and women are continu
ally waiting at llstrick Court House
and praying for succor. When provi
sions arrive and they go to their homes
tlieir places are taken by others. Any
thing in the way of food is acceptable.
Flour and corn is needed above every-1
thing else.
The boro\iffh of York will vote upon
the question of becoming a city at the
next general election.
A factory for the manufacture of ar
tificial stone is in operation at Ilarris
burg.

The other Friday an alt gator four
teen feet iu length was seen in the
Susquehanna near Wllkesbarre.
The Supreme Court decided that a
passenger who jumps from a moving
train and is injured, cannot recoter
damages, although the train has failed
to Btop at the station where he should
be let off.
A thoughtful person suggests that
everyone before going boat-sailing, this
summer, should leaVe his name, ad
dress and a brief sketch of his life at
the nearest newspaper- office—not
necessarily for publication, but as nu
evidence of good fa ith and to save the
coroner trouble.
