The re mains lay in state at the executive mansion and were viewed on Sun day by some 20,000 people. Funer al fn Wednesday or Thursday. Next week the JOURNAL will give a brief sketch of the life of the great statesman. The Forty-Seventh Congress ad- j journed by constitutional limitation on Sunday the 4th inst., at 12 o'clock, M. Senator Davis had resigned his otficc as President of the Senate the day before and Senator Edmunds was elected President. The usual boisterous scenes of the "last day" were again enacted in full variety and detail,in the House. Per haps no preceeding congress ever did less actual work than the one just adjourned. A tax and tar iff bill passed by tho Senate a few days ago was forced through the House on the last day under au ar bitrary rule without any cliancc fcr deliberation or debate. Such hasty and ill-considered legislation is the more inexcusable because congress had ample time to consider and ma ture a bill that would meet tne wants ar.d wishes of the varied in terests of the country. As to the merits of the new law the opinions of the press are much divided. Time must settle that question. LAST .Friday while Col. A. K. MeClure, the editor of the Philadel phia Times , was at Harrisburg on a short business visit he was arrested at the instance of a certain Capt. John Gallagher to answer a charge of criminal libel. The great editor has had lots of such suits with fel lows who are on the hunt for char acter but he invariably come 3 out first best. Such* diversions seem to amuse Col. McClure, rather than otherwise, The Democratic State Committee has named the first Weduesday in August as the time and Harrisburg as the place for holding the Democratic State Con vention of thi3 year. Candidates for Auditor General and State Treasurer are to be nominated. The York Age sees with satisfaction that public sentiment i* in favor of the whipping-pest for wife beaters. In all important questions public opinion is I always light. I Another Governor's Message- GO WAN'S 'CHARGES. the eomn on wealth, was paid by the oUlcers of said corpora tion to suppress the testimony he had collected, and the state thereby was prevented from ob taining its Just dues. These charges, a* made by Mr. Gowcn, arc sub'tantialv as follow ♦ : "In n sr.it by th.s great commonwealth against the Standard Oil Companytfer the collection of taxes wh eh it refused to pay, he had been em ployed by the commonwealth to collect testi mony. He admitted under oath that the Stand ard Oil Company paid him $7,500 to suppress testimony. lam prepared to furnish the lestl many, ami I make this charge openly and pub licly before the legislature iC the common wealth. TIIOUKII I huv> had serious doubt* AN to tbe propriety of an official recognition of such accu sations, I have come to the conclusion, after a careful survey of the subject, that the matter in .tlie present instance is of sufficient (gravity to warrant my laying before you the facts I have been able to ascertain, I herewith submit to you the following papers : A paper purpoit- Ing to be a contract between salil Patterson and the state through the auditor general.secretary of internal affairs and the attorney general, by which the said Patterson was employed to pro cure testimony on the suit against the Stundaru oil company ; also fourhor.ers from the then attorney general to said Patterson ; a letter from the auditor general upon the same subject, and a copy of certain testimony said to have been given by Patterson in a subsequent suit by him against the Tide Water pipe lines. It will IK* seen by these papers that Patterson was employed by the state -.and that he subsequent, ly was employed by the Standard Oil Company, at large p.dtit. Without expressing any opin ion upon the subject, I deem it my duty to lay before the legislature the facts I have been able to ascertain by a eal I upon the departments. 1 also suggest that a committee of investigation be appoint* d by your bodies,with power to'send for persons and pa pers, in order that the truth of the assertions made may le determined, au.t that the state may be vindicated In its efforts to compel copora' ions to be o bod lent to the law. If injustice has been done cither by the com nionwealth or any individual, it Is of the first importance that the fact be ascertained and tho guilty punished.and Hie state enabled to obtain her legal and just dees. I also suggest, while upon tills subject, the propriety of the legislature eon id-ring w bother it might not be well to repeal the law giving to the auditor general and attorney general the authority t*> employ frit ate attorneys to col lect claims du* v e been paid s2h,ooo— a sum much greater than the compensation of the attoi ey general, with in the line ol whose duties such mutters are, or of any other officer of the commonwealth. The whole system Is one that ought to receive your careful consideration, with a view to its repeal or, ii possible, its reformation. It seems to me that the attorney general could collect all I such claims without other remuneration than that now allowed him by law. R0B::KT E. PATTISON. FINALE. The fight l>ettveem the Jle)torter iw.d JOURNAL willcenKe with the present number as fur us the 1 itler is concern- I ed. Having suivl all we hud intended to say from the beginning it would bo utterly fruitless, even foolish, to pur sue the matter farther. Mr. Kurtz nad the filst word and the JOURNAL IS con tent to give him the lust. We aie en tirely satisfied with tlie ivsalt, both j present and prospective. Both of us are | well known in this community and the | people will estimate us and our respect - : ive papers more accurately than we can do it ourselves. We rest our case with the public and will not again be easily provoked to reply to anything the Re porter may say of us and the JOUR NAL. I Touching tlie'pious advice which Mr. Kurtz gave us last week we most re spectfully decline to accommodate him, however ranch we may be in his way. Perhaps he can find some low, unprin cipled fellow, without traveling >ery /ur, that actually did betray his boast ed principles and party for a cash con sideration of s3oo—more than Mr. J. Iscai iot received—who could with more propriety take his Jiiiul suggestion into affirmative consideration than the edi tor of the JOURNAL. Lastly we make due apology to our patrons and readers for having been o bliged for a time to lower tbe usual chaste and dignified tone of the JOUR NAL away down toward the coarse and rude rut in which the "great and good Reporter" is run. Friends, it shall not so soon happen again. "FINIS." Additional Locals. —Mr. Wm. Wolf, on Mrs. Jobn V. Forster's farm, had a very good sale last week. He goes to Stephenson county, I'linois. —A man named Prutzman already saw a snake while crossing Jones Mountain, Uuijn county. Rather ear ly for snake stories. —Our school board is alive to IV necessity of maintaining a good school during the summer months and have appointed Messrs. S. D. Musser and Ja cob Gepbart a committee to see what can be done. It is proposed to raise a select school for Mr. Morrison, the present excellent teacher of our Gram mar school, and if the citizens of the town and vicinity will properly second tho efforts of our school boaid some thing can be done to give progress and permanency to our school work. —Mr. Henry Long, of Mndisnnburg, left Willi his family last week, for Cnnrtland, IVKalb county, Illinois, and like tlie sensible man lie is, order ed the JOURNAL to follow. SETTI.KD.— From the Bellefonte pa pers we learn that the council of that town ami our county commissioners have settled the bridge building ques tion. Bellefonte builds the til utmeats and makes the approaches and the county contributes #1,030 towards the costs of this part of the woik and also erects a suitable iron in idifc. The ad just incut seems to us a fair and equit able distribution of the expanses and we feel satisfied that the citizens ol the county will endorse the action of their commissioners. Communicated The Dubs Missionary Society of the Evangelical Sunday Scliot 1 of Millhcim held its annual meeting and election, Tuesday evening, Feb. 2711 i ult. The following afiicers were elected for the ensuing year: President—D. L. Zer by ; Vice Presidents —P. U. Musser and S. M. Cum pel! ; Corresponding Sec retary—Miss Mary E. Mauck ; Record, ing Secretary—Miss Ada E. Eisenhutb; Treasurer—Adolph Miller. This society WHS organized about a year ago, as an experiment. The ob j *ct, as indie ited by the nrme, is to spread information on the sul jcct of missions and to raise funds for tie mis sionary work of the church. The be ginning was small t*nd feeble, as begin nings iu every good work im stly are, the discouragements were not. a few, tut tho society has overcome them all and is now a permanent adjunct to the congregation and school. The member ship now numbers some ninety and the future is full of promise. A respecta ble sum was raised for the conference missionary tieasury, considering that a largo portion of t3e numbers are children who have but little to give. The society has its regular monthly meetings, when besides the common routine work essays and select articles are read, interspeised with music and short addresses. These meetings are generally tvell attended and sometimes very interesting. The next meeting will be laid on the evening of March 19th. The commit tee on literary exercises have placed the following persons on duty for the com ing meeting : Mr. Adolph Miller, Mr. •S. M. Canape!!, Miss Mary E. Strohm. All are invite!. *** jf 11110 ||o(cl, Xs. 317 & 319 ARCH ST., PHILADELPHIA. !RATESRERDCETTOS2.OO PER DAY. The traveling will still find at this Hotel the Mime liU'rul provision for t!i-ir com fort.

WASHINGTON, February 2o.—A number of prominent Lutheran clergy men of this city, New York city and Baltimore have issued an appeal to peo ple of their denomination throughout the country for funds to erect in Wash ington a colossal bronze statue of Mar tin Luther. It is proposed to purchase for this purpose a duplicate of the fig ure of the great reformer, which stands in the centre of the celebruted group at Worms, and to erect it m front of the Lutheran Memorial Church, on the Thomas Circle, between Fourteenth street and Vermont avenue. Half a Century in Jail. William Stanford, known throughout Fayette county, Pa., as "Crazy Billy," died recently in the County Jail, where ho had been prisoner over fifty-one consecutive years. In 1331 Billy drove Alexander Crow and wife out of their home in Spiing Ilill Township. The neighbors came to Crow's, rescue and by strategy overpowered Billy, who was armed with Crow's gun, butcher-knife and axe. Billy was sent to jail at Un iontown for trial. Soon afterwards William Updegraff was locked up for drunkenness and during the night Billy asked a stick of wood if he should kill Updegraff. The stick said "Yes" and Billy crushed in the drunkard's skull The following June Billy was tried and acquitted of murder on account of in sanity. For eighteen years lie was chained by the leg to the floor of his cell. Since 1813 he has been allowed to roam at will, being harmless. Eigli- teeu Sheriffs have gone iu aud out of office while Hilly was prisoner. Billy was about eighty years old, and was hoi n in England, but beyond this noth ing is known of his earliest history. Just before dying ho called for his mother : "Dear mother." This is the only time he was ever known to refer in any vay to any one connected with his childhood. Give hoys a trade, alul thoy will prop ably mifke industrious, useful citizens ; give them simply .n school education, without seeing that they become pre pared for, and started in some path of useful industry, and the probability is that they will become loafers,and make an uncertain living through their years of manhood by practices bordering, at least, on criminality, Prison statistics show that but few who have learned trades become criminals, while simple school education does not seem to be a protection against crime. Of 7SO con victs received in the Eastern Peniten- all had been at school except I9fc, but 722 of them had no trade.— Lebanon Courier. THE FmST.COM ET OF THE YEAR A little before seyen o'clock on Fri day evening last, while Prof. Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., was scanning the western sky. he.discovered a brilliant comet located in the constellation of Pegasus near the sear Befn. The new comet is moving eastward and is very bright. This is the first comet discov ered during the present year and also the first discovery audit by means of the new telesoepe of the Warner Obser vatory, which is the largest private tel escope in the world. THE NEW VEIN STRUCK AT SUN BUIIY MlNE.— Specimens of the silver lead ore, carrying double values of sil ver, were brought up from the mine to-!lay and caused considerable excite ment at their exceeding richness.
