Orangevillo is in Orango township, six miles north of Illoomsburg. Tho original proprietor was CIcinuel O. Hickctts, who first established a storo thero about tho year 1822. It has two denominational meeting houses, an academy, three stores, thrco tav erns, grist mill, tannery, foundry, and about sixty to seventy dwellings. Mr. Hickctts was a man of taste and culture, and gnvo to tho littlo villago of his residenco quito a po sition, by tlio publication of a book of Trav els in tho East, in which ho described with caro and accuracy what ho saw and heard and experienced. Although tho first storo was opened in Or angevillo in 1822 tho placo was settled very much earlier. Mr. John Mcllenry nn old and respected citizen who died in Hcnlon township, March 17, 1808, at tho ngo of 82 years, C months and -1 days, nnd who was born at Stillwater, n few miles nbovo Orattgoville, lu tho year 1785, says that ut tho tlmo of hh birth, two or threo shanties stood whero Orange villo now stands. Mr. Mcllenry was tho first white child horn north of Orange on tho famous l'ishitigcreek; and ho spent his vvholo long lifo upon its waters, Ho was a most successful and accomplished hunter, and killed during his career moro than two thousand deer. Ho was what was called a still hunter. No dogs over tracked tho gamo through tho forest for him, A nico ear, a quick oyoand an unerring riflo niado success tcrtnln. Although deer wero his principal sport, yet all kinds of game, especially wild turkeys, wcro among thoso whoso chaso was mast exciting, und whoso enpttiro was most satisfactory, on account of tho delicious fla vor of tho flesh, an well as tho skill required to becuro them. Llght8trect is in Scott township, nbout three miles north or illoomsburg, It Is the host built nnd newest of nil tho villages named. It has a good, largo school hotiso, n couplo of meeting houses, it tannery, two stores, Binlth, tin, stovo and furniture shops, and a largo an 1 excellent grist mill, together with about ono hundred dwelling house.

It has somo fino and pleasant resi dences j fino stores, shops, moetlng and school houses, one tavern, n largo steam grist mill, and is n, depot for tho Lackawanna & Illoomsburg railroad. Gwrgo Espy was tho proprietor, and in early times it was noted for its shad fishery and its raco ground, "Webb's lane." Espy was for a long tlmo better known as as tho residenco of Mr. Ercderick 11. Swaby than for any thing else ; nnd ho was In many respects n conspicuous man. Ho died vylth in tho last year, at tho residenco of his son, Frederick ,T. Swaby, in Seneca Falls, at tho ago of 85 years. Mr. Swaby was born in tlio island of Ja maica, in tho year 1701. He was educated in England, nnd during tho years ISOo nnd 180(5 was n scholar nt tho school near Uarnet Castle, in Yorkshire, which has sinco been rendered celebrated by being described in a vein of very broad hut amusing caricatue by Dickens in his novel "Nicholas Nicklcby," under the name of ''Dothcboys hall," and Mr. Swaby is perhaps tho last survivor of that institution. He camo to this country in company with his father-in-law, Capt John Haigh of tho British army, in 1821, and 'settlctl at the villago of Espy, Columbia oiinty, l'a., whero he resided until 184(5 surrottnded'by many warm friends, for whom ho to the last cherished the kindest recollec tion and regard. In that year ho removed to Seneca Falls, where ho has sinco resided with his sons. His father, Joseph Swaby, died in Jamaica in tlio year 1811 ; bo was born in 1727; the lives of tho father and son consequently extended through a period of 1-18 years. During tho nearly thirty years residence of Mr. Swaby in Seneca Falls, ho has been littlo in public life, being rather retiring in disposition, but in tho homo cir cle nnd among .those whoso acquaintance with him becamo intimate, bo wa3 highly prized. Ho possessed tho keenest senso of honor, which was always manifest in his in tercourse with the world, and tho probity of his character was over conspicuous. Ho was a communicant of tho Church of Eng land, and always maintained tho highest standard of a devout Christian. His genial nnd cheerful temperament rendered him pe culiarly n favorite among tho young. It was whilo participating with them in their inno cent amusements, somo fivo months since, that he received injuries from a fall, which hastened his death. His memory will re main as a precious legacy to those to whom he has been a loved companion for years, and toward them tho sympathies of all will bo extended. His funeral was attended at tho Episcopal church, ltev. Dr. Guion offici ating. Milllinvillo is a staid and nncicnt villago nitio miles cast of Illoomsburg, on the cast bank of tho Susquehanna, contains about thirty dwellings, n couple of stores, a tav ern, shops, meeting and school houses, nnd u couplo of grist mills.

Hero Lewis said, "Hut, Undo Itoyal, I am certain he will reform ; ho has promised me." Unclo Lewis looked down with n sort of mild sublimo pity from tho height of six feet two, upon his pretty niece, as ho strok ed her silky hair softly. "My poor Hero," said he, "what is tho word of a drunkard worth 1" "Oh, uncle, don't uso that cruel word. Don't call him a drunkard 1" cried tho girl shrinking back as from a blow. "I hardly know what other word is appll cnblo to him, Hero. No ho will never re form. And child I'd rather seo you in your grave than married to a man who drinks." "Ho has promised," pleaded tho girl, her eyes shining like hluo wistful stars, "Un cle, ought I not glvo him another chtuico?" Ho shook his head, "My common sense, Hero, says 110." "I bate common sense," flashed out Hero. -I'copio anvnys taiK about common senso when they mean to bo cold, and hard, and cruel. I lovo Harry ltlvers, and I mean to marry him in splto of tho carping, sneering worm." And Hero wcut away through tho golden wave of tho ears of ripening rye, her bluo ribbons fluttering liko pennons lu tho breeze. Unclo Koyal looked after her with a coun tenanco of misgiving. "Liko oil other girls," ho Baid, "sho waim her own way. Well, if sho will wreck her- sol' I can't help it." 'D ) you oxpect Harry to-night?" Kiss Erniinia Lewis was what tho world Jrr jvercntly terms an old inaid, but sho was quito young enough at heart to symjiathiso in tho lovo ad'aira of hor sister, fifteen years her junior, lo whom alio had ulways stood in tho place of a mother, oud she, too, had a soft spot In her heart fur hundiomo, dssl pated Harry ltlvers. Sho spoko (rom tho window, whilo Hero was leaning over tho gato, n light Bcarlct shawl thrown over hor shoulders. "He said ho would come," was tho half- hesitating answer, "It U getting lato nnd cold,"sa!d Krminia, "Hotter come In to tho f(ro. You know as well as 1 do that your throat Isn't strong." "I'll come in a minute," said Hero, "They wcro telling mo down nt tho Cor ners, this nftcrnoon,"sald Krminia, speaking with nu cflbrt, "that tho railroad company nro going to dischargo him from their cm ploy." Hero turned sharply nround. "To dis chargo him I wlintfor?" "For habitual intoxication. They say It is not a safo thing to employ n man who is not always himself." "It is n slander," cried out Hero hotly. It is tho work of some baso villain who wants the post himself." "Very probably," said Erminia, sadly. "Only Hero don't bo voxed with me, dar ling but they say tbt Harry has f.illcn in with that set of men from tho mines, and is getting into worse habits than over." Hero turned her faco away. "Havoyou only evil tidings to tell me, Erminia?" "I would that they wero good, for your sake, sister. Hut tho nlr is growing chill, wo shall havo rain. Had you not better como in?" "Hy-and-by. Don't teaso mo, Erniinia." And Erminia, comprehending that at times solitude is tlio best mcdicino for a mind diseased, said nothing more, nnd closing tho casement, sat down to her nccdlo work by tho light of a lamp. iU eleven o'clock punctually sho went to icd, after having ascertained by a peep thro' the window that Hero was still leaning nn the gate, all nlono in tho darkness, with red leaves down around her and the melancholy cry of an owl in tho distant woods lending nn additional tlngo ot mournful ncss to the light nnd tho stillness. 'She'll como in when she is ready," thought Erminia. "I don't liko to assert my authority over her when she is in 0110 of thoso moods." No sooner did Hero perceive bv tlio disap pearance of tho light from her sister's win dow thatErminia had sought hcrpillovv.than softly gliding through the gate, she hurried down the road witli tho scarlet shawl drawn tightly over her head. "I will not bo deceived nnd put off," sho murmured to herself. "I will find out for myself, whether ho is to bo trusted or not." Tho Miners' Arms, nt the comer of thrco road,was alight as she approached it,and from tho wide open casement sho could hear the uproarious chorus of a song the clinking of glasses and tho harsh sound of besotted laughter. Aud lifting .1 trail ofscarlet-leav-cd wood-bino which lormed a natural cur tain to ono of the windows, Hero Lewis peeped in. With n sinking heart and a chilled sensa tion of despair sho saw Harry Kivcrs rise, staggering to his feet witli a brimming glass in his hand, nnd propose some hiccoughal toast which was received with noisy applause by tho riotous assemblage. Hero did not wait to bear more. Dropping the wood-bine ouco moro sho hurried away with awhile, set face. "God help mo! God bo merciful to me 1" sho murmured. "Fr tho idol whom I wor shiped has fallen to the ground 1" Just at that moment tho far-nil' whistle of a train smote the silence of night n sudden ghastly possibility took possession of Hero's heart. "The midnight express !" she muttered to herself, "and he dead drunk in that bar room 1" Hurrying down n steep ravine, heedless of scratching briars and cruelly piercing thorns that rent her dress nnd drew blood from her tender skin, she sprang liko n wild deer down the declivity, scarcely, pausing for breath until sho had reached tho iron track in tho valley below.wheron side rail marked tho intersecting courso of a little freight road that led away toward tho north. At six every morning and evening tho freight trams passed over the road bed, and it was among Harry ltlvers' most important duties to turn the main track, after tho freight train had gono by. Had ho remembered to do so to-night, or was tho long, heavily-laden oxpress from tho west even now running onward to destruc tion? Hero knelt to feel tho track. Her deadly doubt had too much foundation in fact tho switch had not been altered sinco tho freight train came up at six o'clock. A chill dew beaded over her forehead, a siuking sensation struck to her heart. What wasshotodo? Wero sho gifted with tho flying footsteps of Mercury's self sho could not go totheMiner'sArmsin time to avert tho impending catastrophe And even suppos ing that sho could, was Harry ltlvers In a condition to comprehend what was said to him? And with a bitter croati. risinirun from tho depths of her heart, sho realized all tho horrors which have their bcgitiniiig nnd end in tho wino cup. Suddenly a gleam ef hopo shot athwart her brain, She knew whero tho switch key was kept sho remembered having once seen Harry slip it under a projecting ledge of rock upon a sort of natural shelf, becuro from tho dew, ram or tempest, just bevond wiiero sho stood. Snatching tlio key from its resting place, sho stooped in tho faint starlight, now beginning to glimmer through tho clouds, nnd strovo witli every force of her weak woman's strength to movo tlio iron rails, God be thanked I they stirred they grat cd in their sockets and even at tho mo incut in which tho fiery red eyo of tho ap preaching express train blazed in tho foggy distance, Hero dragged the switch In lu proper plnoo. Yet oven then sho could scarcely bcllovo that it was right, its with tlio key dangling by her sldo, sho leaned panting against tho rocks, until with n shriek liko that of somo fire-throated demon, of Avenius, tho train swept by, n dizzy succession of lighted win dows, and darkness and bllcncc settled over her. As sho climbed tho hillside a few minutes later sho met Harry ltlvers staggering down tho road. Sho stopped him peremptorily. "Harry, whero aro you going?" "Don't get in my way, my lass, for Heav en's sake," ho cried, in a thick, uncertain voice. "It's midnight express I I ain't (itilto suro about tho bwilcli," 'ITho midnight express train passed by niteen or twenty minutes ago," said Hero firmly. "I heard tho whistle." "Aro you suro?" "Quito mire." "Then God havo mercy on my foul," crl ed Hirers, fairly fcobcrod ut lust by tho shock. "toil ncod havo no fears," said Hero, coldly. "I was there. I turned tho switch." nut i.v THE COLUMIllAN, VOL. X KO. 12 COLUMN A DKMOCltAT, VOL. XLl, NO. 0 "You?" "Yes, I. I had scon you do it. I knew whero tho key wns kept." "Hero." cried ltivers, with n strong throb in his throat, "you nro my guardian angel. .Ucro, you nro ft woman nmong a thousand. Kiss me, my darling." "Never ngnin, Hnrry ltlvers," sho finswor- cd, shrinking from hint. "This night has opened my eyes. Hereafter wo nro tho mer est strangers to one another." So she left him, scarcely believing tho cv- Idenco of his own senses. Next day his formal dismissal from the scrvico of the railroad company camo and ho accepted it without a protest. Ho know how dark n record would havo laid against his nanio had Hern chosen to speak, aud ho dared not hazard a remonstrance. As for Hero herself, sho never saw him ngain. "My girl," said Unclo Itoyal, "you nro worthy of your name. And bcllovo mc,you never could havo respected Harry Iliyera as a wife should respect her husband." "I know it, uncle," sho said softly. Hut always within tho depth of her own soul she kept tho secret of the Mid-night Express Train, Hani Times ami Their Ilemetly. This country was never moro prosperous really than now; tho only need is n clear perception of its actual condition, and the adaptation of Its forces to this condition. Tlio remedy I shall propose is n pleasant ore, as this suffering country is not realiy ill, but remarkably well ; and the very evils which seem so heavy aro the best Indication of its thrift, its prodigious vitality, accord- ng to my diagnosis of tho case; and I think you will agrco with me. The condition of affairs is this : Vast numbers of men aro out of employ ment. They aro consuming and not produc ing. They desire work, but there is no work for them. Every branch of industry is full, and overflowing. Thero is a glut of every product, waiting to be consumed. Excess ive accumulation had been "rowing for ears, until it culminated in tho fall of 1873. Sinco then labor has been reduced to tho gauge of necessity, over production no long er goes on, and many thousand men aro now without work. Their work is not need ed, but they need work, for they need wages to obtain the necessaries of life. Every thing produced is produced in abundance by tlio workers now employed j and tho ac cumulation of an immenso over production continues on hand. What is tho causes of this apparant ovil ? Labor-iaving inventions. Month after month, year after year, tho great idleness continues. Tho army of the unemployed is increasing in numbers. The amount of work they would do, and wish to do, is not done ; is lost for ever, a great stream of waste. No adequate measures are taken to utilizo this labor, to prevent this needless suffering, to end this painful condi tion of unwilling idleness. Labor which would make an enormous showing, if per formed, is not performed, nnd tho wholo na tion feels tho loss as well as tho unemploy ed. Labor-saving inventions increaso in number as they should ; laborers diminish n number, forced out into idleness, to avoid a still greater over production j nnd no now, great enterprises are engaged in, nltbough to establish them is clearly tho remedy for tho condition of over production in tho ex isting industries. 77ie GaUixyfur March. Virgiiiian Ilelics of Prehistoric Man. Information has just been received at the Smithsonian Institute of somo important nnd interesting discoveries in the drift or gravel-beds on the James river, In Virginia, relating to prehistoric man. A scientific gentleman, who ha3 been at work making excavations for these relics of tho early man, has brought to light worked flints, in tho lower beds of gravel, similar n most respects to thoso which aro contained n tho drifts of the Old World. iU this point on tho James river was found in the drift a quaint, long-rotted nnd well-worn spear head or scraper of tho early man. The exact locality from which these relics havo been taken is on the north side of the James river. There is a bluff which was an ciently washed by tho spring freshets, and which serves tho purpose of n wall of pro tection to tho track and buildings of tho It. & Y. Itailroad Company. It has been laid open for excavation for a roadway on its sur- lace, aim for a ynrd or more on its exposed flank, Tho brick has been topped off, nnd tlio wall of tho bluff hns been pushed back, so to speak, as much as fifty feet or more. Iho depth of theso antiquities is about thirty feet below tho ground level of the riv er valley. Some of tho flints wcro obtained from a seam of gravel about fifteen feet atiove tho ordinary flood-tide, nnd about four feet above tho highest freshets. Theso mpleincnts appear to be worked chiefly trom bluish-looking pebbles that lie so con spicuously in ono of the beds. After they are washed and dried they assutno that glas- siness of exterior which is said to belong ex cluslvely to implements from tho drifts. that they aro probably of tho liko uges as thoso of the quaternary gravels of Kuropo may be interred from tho general corrcspon- ilcnco ot lorm und from tho somewhat Mm lar character of tlio beds from which they aro obtained. There is no doubt that all tho gravels Immediately adjacent to tho James river, and thoso of tho Appomattox ulso, contain in different numbers and forms deposits of worked flints aud pebbles. Tho gravel of Gauiblo hill.ovcrlookitiK tho rapids, is pitched at an elevation of sixty or moro toot nbovo tho river. Even hero nro most convincing evidences of man's antimil ty. Worked pebbles havo been taken from this section which correspond in form and general charactor with thoso fouud in tho excavuted l'owuliatnn Terrace. Theso relics present strong evidences that tho quaternary man had advanced in Amer ica by long steps from tho rudest beginnings 10 tuo more recent nges 01 smooth stone ami bronzo.

At daybreak on tho thirtieth of May, 1431 priest entered the cell of a young women nt Itoucn, and nnnounccd that ho was como lo prepare her for death. Not that tho pris oner was ill she was young, healthy, and tho full possession of her faculties ; the death ihe was to suffer was a violent one sho was to be burned alive. Burned alive at one- and twenty! What could the poor wretch avodone? She had shivered tho power of tho Kuglish in France; she had roused tho French nation from tho torpor into which it had been thrown by tho stunuitii: blows ealt to it by Henry V. of England. On first hearing tho announcement of the priest, Jeanne's firmness gavo away j sho wept nnd gave vent to piteous cries, tore her hair, and appealed to "tlio great Judgo" ngninst the cruel wrongs done to her; and by de grees hcrsclf-posscssion returned, r ml sho listened to tho ministrations of tlio prioit, received tho last sacrament from him, and announced her self ready to submit to tho will of Heaven. At 9 o' clock in tho morn ing, sho was carried away in tho hangman's cart to tho market place in Itoucn, whero had been already laid tho funeral pyro on which tho young victim was to bo sacrificed. The Bishop of Beauvais, Cardinal Beaufort, and several other prelates, with tho English military commanders, wero theio, nnd a ost crowd has como out to see the 'Maid of Orleans' die. In tho centre of tho market place, about tho spot whero now stands a fountain surmounted by a7figuro of Jcanno D'arc, the stako was reared aud around it were piled tho faggots. Soldiers guarded the place of execution. Tho ceremonial of death wns becun on (hut benutiful Mnv morning by a sermon ; then tho sentence, pronunced was published, tho signal was given to proclaim tho last act of tho traged. t soldier's staff was found broken, and form ed into a rough cross, which 'the Maid' clasped to her breast. Sho was then bound to the stake, tho faggots were lighted, tho fire leaped up around her ; and, after suit- ring tho ngony indispensiblo to death by burning, her spirit returned to God who gnvo it. Tho English cardinal watched the wholo proceedings with unmoved face; and when his victim's lifo was beyond his reach, he ordered her ashes und bones to be gathered up, nnd to bo cast into tho Seine.
