A bill appropriating $200,000 for that purpose passed the House early in the day and subsquently passed the Senate and was sent to the President. As being of interest to the numerous ex-soldiers among our readers, it may be stated almost with certainty that the bill now before the Senate and House, which provides that no proof shall be neccessary to establish the fact of sound physical condition at the time of his muster into the service in the ar my or navy, of any applicant for an in valid pension, for any wound or disa bility contracted in the army or navy in the late war, will pass and become a law. WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb, 18 1884. Most of the opposition to Mr. Mor rison's tariff bill thus far is evidently of the kind that would find any poss ible bill for the reduction of the tariff "grotesque," "chaptrap," "inharmo nious,,' "a bungle," "foolorneteo,"etc., as the divorced Mr. Porter calls it in an intemperate letter to the Philadel phia Press. But it must not lie for gotten that back of the few highly-! protected manufacturers whom Mr. j Porter represents is the great mass of | the American people, demanding a re duction of taxation, and that in the Treasury a great surplus is banking itself up at the rate of almost a hun- j dred millions a year. Congress should i calmly proceed with the reduction of taxes according to its best wisdom, I without much regard to the violent outcry of a small class of interested rich men, which is like that of a few crickets in a field. Somebody who signs himself "T. F," is sending bundles of printed cir culars to Senators,in which objections are made to the forfeiture of the Tex as Pacific land grant. It gives the usual arguments which were made by the attorneys of the Texas Pacific be fore the House Committee on Public Lands, and adds the new and aston ishing argument that the land is worthless. The circular recites that "if the United States were given all these lands for nothing to actual set tlers, it is doubtful whether anybody could be found with temerity enough to accept them." Notwithstanding the worthlessness of these lahds,this advocate of the railroad insists that the road must have them, and reiterates C# P. Huntington's threat that if Con gress declares the grant forfeited the constitutionality of the act must lie decided by the Supreme Court. The gentlemen who are supposed to IK 4 prominent in the movement to take these "worthless" lands from the Tex as Pacific are accused in this circular of simply seeking political capital. The writer says: "These men see in the noisy discussion of such hills, and the apparent warfare which tliev wage with the railroads, something to catch the ears of the groundlings— of those who are opposed to anything and everything which tends to devel op anh build up the great West." Too bad, isn't it? PHONO. THE LOCAL ELECTIONS. MILLHEIM ROHOI'GII. Chit'/ /fun/ess —R. I. Harluian. Assistant Chief Ilurgess—ni- Adams. ( l ouneilmen —Adolph Miller. K. C. Campbell. W. R.

A WALTER, January 31, 1884. Foreman. A Blizzard in the West. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb, 18.—A blizzard is raging in the vicinity of St. Vincent. The thermometer is falling rapidlj and fears are entertained of a snow blockade. The two-year old boy of a Jo!ins town brewer named Lawrence Kost, wandered into his father's brewery the other day while the family were at din ner and no one present, and fell into a tub containing about seven and a half barrels of boiling hot liquid. He was not discovered by his father for fully fif teen minutes after the occurrence and it was with the greatest defficulty that the body was removed without the flesh dropping from the bones so thor oughly cooked was it. Deputy Collect or Campbell was notified of the occur rence and the contents of the tub were drained off by him. The Ohio River Floods still Raging. FEB 15th.—The towns and cities on the Ohio river have been visited by the greatest flood of the century. So great and appalling is the disaster that pen fails to adequately describe the misery and destitution prevailing. Over 0,000 m premiums will be of fered. It strikes one at first as odd to bold an agricultural fair in the largest city of the State and in the extreme southeastern corner; but, after all, by the increase of railroad facilities, Phil adelphia is brought neai to the great agrieultuial region sof the State. Lan e ister, Chester, Delaware, Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh,Montgomery and .North ampton counties make most of the agricultural display and the point that is most central for them will no doubt be found most advantageous for such ail exhibition. Besides in great centers of population it is most practicable to secure a large pbtronage of exhibitors and speetatois. Dead in a Dentist's Chair. Sen A NTON", Feb. 7.—Mis. James Stevenson, of the Providence section of the city . died to-day in a dentist's chair at the office of W. 11. Heist, after she had three doses of chloroform and ether administered during the pulling of fifteen teeth. The anaesthetic was given by her family physician, l)r. A. Strang. After the first dose Dentist Ileist puilcd two teeth; then another dose was given and nine teeth were ex tracted: then a third dose was given, after which live teeth were taken out. The staitied dentist then realized that he was pulling the teeth of a dead wo man. Mrs, Stevenson died shortly al ter* receiving the thild dose. She leaves seven children, the youngest of whom is only four months old. Coroner Dean is holding the inquest, which will continued to-morrow. Two HOLD SWINDLERS.— The other morning at 4 o'clock, as the Philadel phia and Erie passenger train was a bout starting west from Ilarrisburg. a bold and successful swindling dodge was played upon an old gentleman, a citizen of Erie, who was on his way home. Two men came bolting into tlie train and one of them called out, "Is time any one on this train going through to Erie?"' The old gentleman referred to reply that he was bound for Erie,whereupon the first speaker stated that he had a ear of horses on the train but that the freight agent would not al low them to go through until the re mainder of the freight, which was short s4i>, was paid. He referred to the man who had come with him, as the freight agent, and the latter affirmed tho state ment of the alleged horsedealer. lie represented that lie was going through with the horses,amljtliat he had a writ ten security which lie would give any one furnishing the money asked for,the man secured the amount named from the old gentleman of Erie, and placed in the hands of the latter the document which lie had previously shown. After getting the money the horse dealer and the freight agent pa ssed forward to the front part of the train to look after the horses. When it oecame light enough to examine it thoroughly the benevo lent Erie man discovered that the pa per given him was a sight draft on the First national bank of Texas for S2O, 000. Long before this time the swindlers had skipped off the train and disappeared. It need not be stated that there were no horses on the train and that both the men who woiked the horse dodge were swindlers. 4% *4. 6-61 VDMIXM'EATHK'S NOTICE-Letters of administration on the estate of John Smith, late of penn township, deceased, having been granted to the subserllwr. all persons knowing themselves Indebted to said estate are lierebv requested to make Immediate payment, and those having claims in present tin in duly pinvii for settlement.
