SYMPTOMS,
If, when you hear a certain lady's name,
You feel your pulses glvo a sudden start.
Or blush, as If somo secret senso ot shamo
Had stirred, Just then, tho currents of your
heart i
And It that name to put It rather strong
In euphony seems very much nbovo

It remains to speak now only of tlioso vil
lages which lie scattered through the Coun

quito a number, almost every township hav
ing its capitol, which is a place of resort for
bearing tho news and transacting any littlo
mercantile dealings which tho wives and

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.
Espytown is also In Scott township, nnd
is located cast front Illoomsburg about thrco
miles. 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. The projected North
Sc West Branch railroad will run through
tho village.
Miiinvillo is in Mnino township, about
six miles south-east from Illoomsburg, has
liltceu to twenty houses, tavern, store, grist
mill, forge, do , and is situated on Catawissa
creek, and on the Catawissa railroad.

THE MIDNIGHT TKA1X.
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."

"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

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.

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

First. Awards shall bo pascd upon
written reports attested by tho signatures of
their authors.
Second. Two hundred judges shall bo
appointed to mako such reports, one-half cit
izens of the United Suites. They will bo
selected for their own qualifications nnd char
acter, and will bo experts in departments to
which they will bo respectively assigued.
The foreign members of this body will bo
appointed by tho commission of each coun
try and in conformity with tho distribu
tion and nllotment to each, which will bo
hereafter announced. Tho judges from tho
United States will bo appoiutod by tho Cen
tennial commission.
Third. Tho sum of $1,000 will bo paid
to each commissioned judgo, for personal ex
penses. Fourth. Reports and nwards shall bo ba

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
