The new year 1885 is the 59th year for this paper, and we send it out to our subscribers as fresh, lively and clean as ever. Year after year this pa per, in its own small way and along with its contemporaries, has done its duty in upholding the principles aud good men of the grand old Democrat ic party. And this year, with a dem ocratic president for the first time in 24 years, the JOURNAL feels like com ing out with new life and vigor, aud with the firm determination of further defending the principles of the victor ious democracy. It shall also be our aim to make the JOURNAL still more interesting aud readable and thus add many more to its present readers and friends. We will always endeavor to give its pat rons a prompt and correct local paper and kindly ask the co-operation of our correspondents and readers in supply ing us with any scrap of news that may be of importance to their fellow readers. The JOURNAL Job office has in tie past year been kept busy,which would show that our work gives general sat isfaction and we respectfully call the attention of our leaders to this branch of our business and &9k them to try this office. We begin the new year with fair prospects—the business and industries of the country promising to regain their even level and substantial footing. Wishing that soon the clouded busi ness skies may become clear and bright for all we offer our heartiest New Year's salute to our readers. THE legislature assembled at the state capital, Harrisburg on Tuesday, and the same afternoon Governor Pattison's message was submitted to the senate and house of representatives. The message is a long but excellent and interesting state paper,containing some timely and valuable suggestions to the law-makers on matters which concern the public. Space does not permit us to publish the message. Washington News and Gossip. WASHINGTON.. D. C., Jan. 3, JBBS. It is only two days to the reassem bling of Congress on the sth. But few members have so far returned. Since adjournment for the holidays, there has been time to look oyer what was done in the first tweuty days of the session, and to make up an opinion from that and from the gathered expressions of members, as to what is likely to be ac complished. I am sorry to say that those were probably correct who early prophesied thai little would be done be sides passing the appropriation bills. That is the best opinion here now. The Educational bill, the Bankruptcy bill, Mormon legislation, Electoral count legislation—all will probably go over to another Congress, and the debates of last year and before be repeat ed. A great opposition is growing up a gainst the Pension bill which was be fore the House, after passing the Sen ate, at the last session. The basis of the bill was a pension for soldiers of the Mexican war, but upon that had been anacted an elaborate scheme for the financial benefit of soldiers of tlie late war and their heirs. The present opposition began among Grand Army men in .New England, but is already active elsewhere. I think it safe to say now that only few and unimport ant pension bills will have favorable ac tion at this session. The Grant retirement bill has, I am sure, a large majority of friends in the House. It has already passed the Sen ate. But the difficulty is that number less bills are on the top of it ou the Speaker's table, and if friends of these earlier bills give way to the Grant bill they use all chance of action on their own measures. It is believed, howev er, that in some way the retirement bill will be reached and pressed. Almost every expression of opinion as to the Spanish and San Domingo treaties, now before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is adverse to them. I should say there was no pos sibility of the ratification of either of them by the Senate. And even if that body, in deference to an administration of the same political party, should act favorable, the House will, by a large majority, refuse to pass bills to give the treaties effect. The Nicarangua treaty is looked upon differently from the others by both House and Senate. The idea of a canal from ocean to ocean under American control, is a very pop ular one among Congressmen. The treaty may fail of ratification now, but is 'certain of it in the near future, I think. 80 far preparations for the inaugura tion have overshadowed those for the delication of the Washington monu ment, but there are ample dedications of impressive ceremonies and a great crowd at the latter. It is not thought now that Hon. R. C. Withrop who de livered the oration at the laying of the corner stone in 1848, will be able to be present next February, but in the event of this enforced absence the Committee in charge will doubtless select an orator who wi'l be satisfactory to all. Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York, has been mentioned and a Virginia speaker I of some note, but so general and hearty is the wish that Mi. Winthrop shall he present that no arrangement recogniz ing the possibility of his absence will be made until the last moment. 11. Preparations for the Inaugu ration. WASHINGTON, Jan. l.—Ths inaugu ration committee desire that organiza tions, either military or civil, intending to visit Washington on the fourth of March next should communicate to tho committee the number of persons in cluded in such organization, the intend ed stopping place and other particular, so that positions in the line of process ion may be reserved for them and oth er necessary arrangements made The committee state that the inaugural ball will be made the prominent feature of the occasion and it is expected to sur pass anything of the kind ever attempt ed in this country. The work is pro gressing rapidly on the pension building and the grand ball room will he un doubtedly completed in due season. Miscellaneous News. The Mint's Work for the Year.

NEW YORK, December 31.—A tele gram announcing the death of Russel Hancock, son of General Hancock, reached the General to-day. It was not even known that Russel, who died yesterday at his cotton plantation near Clarksdale,Miss., was ill, and last even ing his wife and three children started to join him at his plantation. They will be stopped by a te'egram at St. Louis, where the funeral will take place. General Hancock started for St. Louis this evening. Mrs.Hancock, the wife of the General, was completly prostrated by the shock and is confined to her bed. The New Orleans Exposition. Letter from Colonel Peyton—The Ex position An Assured Success— Hospitality to Visitors. NEW ORLEANS, December 23.—A day spent in the Exhibition even in its crude condition.will enable one to form an idea of what it will be when com plete. The various varied and multi form resources of our country as aggi e gated here will excel any exhibition of the kind ever held on the continent. The government exhibit, being arrang ed coder the auspices of the Smithson ian'lnstitution and the departments, is large and very interesting. Mexico is preparing to make.'a grand display.'The Western and Southern States, through mineral and agricultural products, tim ber, fruits and other materials,are mak ing each and all of them a wonderful exhibit. The Southern and somejof the Western States are showing rapid prog ress in manufacturing. The Northern and Eastern States are making very creditable displays, but not what they could have done and which they will regret not doing when too late. Philadelphia seems to lead among our Eastern cities in her display iler cit izens held a place in the affections of the old families of New Orleans, Ev ery attention that can be expected is paid to yisitors by the best people of the city. I see no disposition to exhort bat every endeavor to accommodate and make strangers feel at home. The means for transporting visitors to the Exposition grounds are not such as you had in Philadelphia in 187G, but in what other city in the continent could such facilities be furnished as you had them ? It will be, take it all in all, the grand est show this country ever had, except in 1876, and it will even excel that in some respects. Anyone who can af ford to visit New Orleans and enjoy the genial climate and social intercourse with the people of this section and a vail themselves of the wonderful facili ties for information of our own, as well as of other countries represented here, should not hesitate a moment to come. A Wild Woman Found. A Mystery That Has Disturbed a Neighborhood Made Clear. WOMELSDORF, December 29.—For several months the citizens of this yill age (situated near the foot of the South Mountain, a range of the Alleghenies) haye been disturbed by the most un earthly yells coming from the hills. It was generally supposed that they ema nated from some strange animal, which had taken refuge in the rocks, Mr. i Grit 1 siiier, of the Bethany Orphans; Home, a Reformed church institution at the foot of the mountain, several times heard the screams. Franklin Katterman, Jacob Matthews and Theo dore Start/, all old hunters,followed up a trail for several hours, but were du ally obliged (ogive it up, as they were led far up into the mountain fastnesses. Stones and huge rocks were rolled down the hill in their path, and they were o' hliged to dodge these missiles every now and then. Theodore Start/ says lie saw a living thing, half human, half beast, lie stood still, the blood chilling in his veins, lie had his gun with him, but he dared not shoot. lie next started on a run, and to use his own words Hew down the hill and diil not stop until he got home, not taking time to look whether the beast was following him or not. A paity of employes at the Robesonia furnace shot at the beast, but missed it. It is relia bly stated that the managers of the fur nace ottered S2OO for the animal alive and SIOO for its dead body. For some week sovery person has given the moun tain a wide berth. Several farmers also lost sheep and chickens. To-day the mystery was cleared up. A party of Wouielsdorf hunters scouted the mountain. They found human footsteps in the snow,which they track ed to a rude hut—a charcoal-burner's deserted cabin. Here they found a young woman, probably twenty-live years of age. she was thinly dressed, her surroundings were uncouth and she appeared much frightened. She has a wild and haggard look and who she is no one knows. She will probably be removed to ttie Poorhouse. She threw stones down the mountain and yelled to scare the people away. She is of muscular build and many think she has | been following tuis kind of life for I years, judging by her general appear ance. She has shown the strength of an Amazon and the people have decid ed to let tier alone until the authorities take her in charge. To Physicians. We do not find fault, reproach or con demn the practice of nn v regular physi cian—this is not oar mission—hut we do claim that if tie were to add PEKUXA to his prescriptions, as directed in our hook, on the 44 Ills of Life," (and furnished grat uitously by all druggists), ho would cure all his patients. Mr. Henry C.Reynolds, I ronton, Law rence County, Ohio, writes: *'My wife lias been sorely distressed for many years. Her disease or diseases and the symptoms of them have been so varied that an at tempt to describe thcin would be more than I feel able to undertake. I have paid over a thousand (i,ooo) dollars for doctors and medicines for her, without any satisfactory results. We read so much about your PEUUNA that I was forced to try it. She has now taken five bottles; they have done her more good than all the doctors and medicine that she has ev er made use of. PKKI'N'A is certainly a God-send to humanity." Mrs. O. L. Gregory, Las Vega*, San Migvel County, New Mexico, write i! '"I think PEIJUNA and MANALIN saved my life." Mrs. Cora Engcl, First llouic on La ache street, near Rich, Columbus, Ohio, says; 41 It affords me much plea ure to state to you the benefit I ha. e rcceivi d from your PKRUNA. 1 had been troubled with kidney complaint and di/.ziness in my head for eighteen years. I tried diff erent kinds of patent medicines, and con sulted a number of physicians,but received no benefit whatever. About three weeks ago I commenced taking RERUN A. J be gan to get better before I bad taken half a bottle. The dizziness lias disappeared, and the other affection has so much im proved that I am positive, after I will have taken another bottle, I will be entire ly well. I feel like a different person al ready. A number of my friends have used it, and they think it is a wonderful I remedv. Mv husband says it is one of the best medicines for a cough that lie ever took." A. W. Blackburn, Wooster, 0., writes: " Several weeks ago a man came to me, all broken down, terribly nervous, stom ach without any power to digest food. Had tried four doctors; none did liirn any good. Asked me to do something for him. I recommended MANALIN. He told me to-day that he has been taking it regularly, and is now almost well. Said he would sound the praises of MANALIN far and near." "ALDEN'S JUVENILE GEM"—IS the title of a new illustrated weekly paper for young people, the publication of which begins with the new year.

"—A biography of this remarkable man ought to be in teresting reading, especially if written by the. famous hero-journalist and vet eran war correspondent, Archibald Forbes. It is not, therefore, surprising to see numerous editions of it publish ed. First theie was the English edi tion, of course at a high price, then a reprint at SI.OO per copy, by an Ameri can "high-pr'ced" publisher ; now fol lows the "Literary Revolution"edition, large handsome type, neat cloth bind: ing, for only 50 cents !
