THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24T11, 1885.
Published by R. A. BUMILLER.
Exit 1885.
With this issue another year of the
JOURNAL'S existence passes into the
vast lapse of time and in looking back
over our year's work we feel justified
in saying that we have tried to do our
duty and have in a measure succeeded
in giving our readers prompt, inter
esting, and entertaining weekly paper.
Politically the JOURNAL has advoca
ted and upheld Democratic principles,
supported the wise measures of the
new administration and strove to pro
mote unity in Democratic ranks at
homo.
The local news department we have
worked hard to make a faithfully com
piled budget of events of importance at
home and throughout the county and
in tLis work we were ably assisted by
our special correspondents in neigh
boring towns. Religious and educa
tional matters, new enterprises and
improvements received their full share
of encouragement through the col
umns of the JOURNAL and important
foreign news could always be found
in the miscellaneous department.
The literary contents of the paper
received our undivided attention and
in this line we have been particularly
careful in selecting the most entertain
ing and interesting matter of a chaste
character.
Summing up we are sure the JOUR
NAL has proven a valuable and wel
come weekly visitor to our readers, a
paper for the "Home Circle" in the
broadest sense of the word, and that
our labors are appreciated is evident
in the slow, but steady influx of new
subscribers. With these few parting
remarks we return our thanks to
those who have favored us during the
year and wish all our readers a "Mer
ry Holiday Season, n assuring them
that, no preventing Providence, the
JOURNAL will come to them in the new
year fully as wide-awake and newsy
as it has been in the past year.
CONGRESS adjourned last Monday
until January sth, at the suggestion
of our worthy representative, Gov.
Curtin. TJp to the time of adjourn
ment 1,004 bills, mostly of a private
character had been introduced and refer
red. Only 14 of the 38 states were
reached, and it was ordered that the
call shall be continued where it was
ltft off, when the House meets again
after the Holidays. Gov. Curtin's
clever idea enables congressmen to
spend the whole of the holiday season
at their respective homes.
CONTROLLER MAYNARD in Wash
ington decided that pensioners,residing
in the United States, can not author
ize other persons to receive their
pensions for them. Pension agents
must issue orders directly to the pen-
sioner and mail them to that person.
Pensioners residing in foreign coun
tries must have their papers attested
to by a notary public before the
amount can be lifted by an authorized
party.
PENNSYLVANIA taxes for this year
amount to $2,000,000 more than in
1884. In the next three years the
income of taxes will still be largely
increased by the new tax law. Could
not the state spare the license taxes
then, and give the benefit of the same
to the respective counties and cities,
where they are collected?
A NEW official seal has been manu
factured for the President of the
United States. Jt is said to be of very
tasty design, representing all the states
and territories in an ingenous and
plain manner. The design is the
handiwork of a German, Mr. William
P. Lutz. _
Congressman Morrison is a marked
figure, He stands about live feet ten
iaches, and has a bushy, full beard,
nearly all gray. He seldom wears an
overcoat. His right hand is almost
always in the trouser's pocket as he
walks, and he has a measured tread,
and his dress generally, while neat,
shows its wearer's indifference to style.
THE United States Senate last week
granted an annual pension of SSOOO to
Gen. Grant's widow. The action
was endorsed by the house of repre
sentatives.
President Cleveland is described as
having very large hands. He needs
them, and strong ones at that.

thousand different, liver pills are on the

many bad and worthless. Life is too
short to try them all, so if you want to

if you are not satisfied with the amount
of benefit received you get your money

SELINSGROVK, Pa., Dec. 17.—At
Jfiddleburg, the county-seat of Snyder
County, ten miles west of this place,
George Musser and his wife were about
to cross the track of the Sunbury and
Lewistown Road at the depot crossing,
at 6 o'clock this evening. An extra
freight train was approaching, and
Mrs. Musser stepped back, requesting
her husband to do the same. Not
heeding her caution for some reason,
Mr. Musser was struck bv the engine
and instantly killed. He was sbout 70
years of age, and resided in Franklin
Township. His wife and one child
survive him.

The Jury Find Cox Guilty of
Voluntary Manslaughter.
SUNBURY, DOC. 17.— The last day of
the Cox tr>al lias come to au end.
Shortly after the opening of the Court
this morning His Honor Judge Ilocka
ftlloiv commenced his charge to the
jury. The charge was long and elabor
ate, and conspicuous for the way the
case was reviewed and the law defined
in a fair and impartial manner. When
the hands on the clock marked ten
minutes of eleven the jury retired to
deliberate upon the great question,
awaiting the decision of which a hu
man life hung in the balance. As they
filed out of the Court room every eye
was turned upon them and their faces
were scanned as if to read that verdict
which, when rendered, would cause
either misery or happiness. The bris
oner at the bar carefully watched them,
and who can imagine his feelings as lie
saw them leave the room, to return no
more until his tate was decided. In an
hour he was again away from the crowd
ed Court-room where for eight days he
had been the one object of attention,
immured within the narrow confines of
his cell with thoughts for his compan
ions such as no man but one in a simil
ar position can describe. Anxiously
all the afternoou bad the door of the
juiy-room been watched by eager eyes,
expecting every moment to see it open,
but in vain. All sorts of conjectures
were made as to the cause of their de
lay.
The jury, after a deliberation of
twelye hours, rendered a verdict to
night at 11 o'clock of voluntary man
slaughter, the punishment tor which,
in the maximum, is twelve years' im
prisonment and SSOO fine.

ENTOMBED ALIVE.
Twenty Minors Imprisoned in A
Flooded Slope.
NANTiCOKE,Pa., Des. 18.—Nanticoke
was thrown into a terrible conster
nation at 11 o'clock this morning by a
report that the mines of the Susque
hanna Coal Company were being floode 1
by water from the river. The break
was in No. 1 slope, and the volume of
water pouring in was so great, that be
fore the miners and laborers could get
away from the breast in which they
were working the water was mire than
a foot deep on the gangway and rising
rapidly. Tools were abandone 1, di iyer
boys left their mules in the gangway,
and all fled for points of safety. Before
the workmen were all out the water
was breast high. As soon as messen
gers could be dispatched an alarm was
spread to the other workings, Nos. 1
and 2 shafts and No. 2 slope, al' of
which are connected with the slope and
are lower and ot greater depth. The
alarm was promptly acted upon and
the workmen summoned to the foot of
the shafts and hoisted ten at a time to
the surface. As each one was safely
landed terrific shouts of rejoicing arose
from the hundreds of people present.
Everything in the track of the sood
was swept before it, the men being
knocked about promiscuously, and in
all cases they report miraculous es
capes. The experience of old miners
who were caught by the flood say it
was the most terrible they ever passed
through. When the water was dis
covered rushing into the slope there
were nearly 1,000 men and boys at work
in various openings, but at the partic-
ulnr spot where the water first appeared
there were not over thirty persons at
wo kat the time. It is reported that
there are now about twenty men in the
face of one of the gangways who are
shut in by the water and rubbish that
accumulated in the west gangway of I ho
second lift of the cross seam. It is
impossible to say what their fate will
tie. Old miners are of the opinion that
the men who are shut up will be*rescued
alive. The company is making every
possible effort to reach the imprisoned
men. Tht pumps are now at work and
new ones are being rapidly put up.
Another force of men have been sent
down the air-shaft, who will endeavor
to cut through to the spot where the
imprisoned men are believkd to be.
This work will be kept up night and
day until the fate of the men is known.

LEGAL JIDVERTISEMEJTTS
"XTOTP i: TO TAXPAYERS.—Whereas there
IN is a general • pinion prevailing among
the taxpayers throughout the county that be
cause a collector's warrant is good for two
years, they have the same length of tint 'in
which t<> pay their taxes. Tax Collectors fre
(luentv complain to ns that many persons tnakc
this a pretext for refusing to pay their taxes
until they are actually forced to do so. and
these being generally such as are b-st able to
pay. We therefore"submit for vour informa
tion the following Act of Assembly of April 15,
1834. in relation thereto :
••Every collector shall, within three months
after receiving the corrected duplicate, pay in
to the hands of the treasurer <>f the property,
county or township, as the case may be, the
whole amount of the taxes charged and assessed
in such duplicate, excepting such sum as tiie
Commissioners, or Supervisors and Oyersccrs,
as the case may ue. in their discretion, may ex
hoiicrate him from, on pain of being answer
able tor and charged with the whole balance re
maining so unpaid."
You will readily see bv the above Act 111 it tax
collectors are required to pay in the full n
mount ot their duplicates within three nonlhs
after the duplicates are placed in their hands
