Inquire at this ofllce. Cnpt. Win, J. Allen died at his homo In Madison township on Wednesday. April 1st, after an Illness of some time. Mr. Al- len servid faithfully In the army, and took part in some of our fiercest battles, notably among which was that of Gettysburg. While enduring the exposures necessary to army llfo ho contracted that dread dlt cusc of consumption which eventually brought him to the grave. For ) cars past ho 1ms not been able to do much labor, and was frequently urged to apply to the gov ernment forn pension. But he always would answer that so many wcru drawing pensions unjustly that he feared some cen sure might be laid upon him, nnd he did not wish to do anything that would pro voke a cause for any one to speak dishon orably of Mm. The death of Ellsha H. Biggs, Esq., which occurred at Wllliamsport, on the evening of April first, was a source of great sorrow to his many friends und acquain tances in Bloomsburg where ho was born, and w here he passed the earlier years of his life. Ho was a gentleman of the old school, ever courteous and polite. He had read law, but never applied for admission to the Bar. The Gaulle A Bulletin says i Mr. Biggs was a young man of great In tellectual attainments. He .had traveled extensively in this and the old country. He was bright, witty and cheerful, and never did harm by word or deed to any one. He was a most delightful companion nnd his many friends will not soon forget him. The deepest sympathy Is felt throug- out thu city for his widowed mother, In this, her hour of trouble. iVn exchange has tho following very sen sible remark: "One of the great crimes known to thu statutes is being taught In our public schools, no more, perhaps, in one town than In another, yet It is a mutter which deserves Investigation. Whcu the teachers require a pupil to bring an excuse for absence from their parents, the first lesson begins. Tho pupil often finds him self In severe straits. He knows that his parents will not furnish him an excuse.nnd he knows that unless he docs get an excuse In some shape or other, a punishment awuits him at school. A bright thought occurs to htm. He will write the excuse. The teacher will not know the difference, and so he goes to work and forges his par ents' name to a paper. Or, If he is not able, he has a friend, n young man, per haps, who Is always wil'ing to help the little shaver out of trouble. So the first lesson Is learned, and after that the path is an easy one." St. Paul's Episcopal church was filled to Its utmost capacity on Sunday morning at 0 o'clock, there being over 800 people pre sent. The church was beautifully deco rated. In each window wero two pots of flowering plants, and the chancel was full of calla lilies and other flowers. The gas jets were all burning at lho opening of the service, but when the sun came pouring through the stained glass windows the gas was slowly turned oil, und the effect was beautiful. Tlif music wub rendered by the usual choir, consisting of Misses Brower aud Hcndcrshott, soprano, Misses Fox and Musselman, alto, Mr. P. E. Wirt, tenor, and Mr. L. S. Winlcrstecn, bass. Miss Musselman, who is a Normal student, re sides at Danville, but kindly consented to remain over Sunday to assist, though there was a vacation of several days. The music as announced last week was well rendered, the Oloria in Ezcetsli from Wels' Third Mass, being the leading feat ure. This is a grand composition, and is full of beautiful solos, ducts and choruses. closing with a grand crash of harmony. Its execution occupied twelve minutes. At 10 o"clock there was Hnly Commun ion, and nn appropriate sermon by the rec tor, Hcv. Jj. Zahncr. The children's services in the evening was largely attended, the Easter offerings of the school amounting to over $30. Died near Forks, Columbia county, Pa., on April 5, 18S5, Thomas J. Hutchison, age 81 years, 0 months and 8 days. Mr. Hutchison was born in Centre town ship in 1803. About fifty years ago he moved to Flshlngcreck township where ho purchased a farm and on which ho remain ed until the time of his death. Mr. Hutch- ison was above the average of men In in telligence. This as well as his social qual- Itlcs brought him to the first rank and con stituted a leading spirit in social aid civil matters. He was accordingly elected to several Important township oflices which ho filled with acceptance. He was a man of princlplo and not of mere policy. Tho question of right, and not mere gain was uppermost in his mind. Ibis principle he endeavored to adhere to especially dur log his several terms of Justice of the Peace. By Industry aud economy he suc ceeded In laying up a respective compe tency for advanced years. About tho year 1813, Mr. Hutchison made a profession of religion In tho He formed church. From that time to his death he endeavored to servo his Master with christian fidelity. In tho Zlon-church ho took an active part. Ho was a liberal supporter of tho ministry and missions of tho church. For a number of years ho served in tho capacity of Elder. We will deeply feel bis loss in the councils of tho church as well as in tho support of Its var ious Interest. But wo confidently bellcvo that as ho was faithful unto death, he shall receive his promised crown of life. This good man was also brought up In the school of domestic affliction, Two bosom companions preceded him to tho spirit world, and tho present ono survives to bear testimony to tho faithfulness of him to whom she had been Joined In happy wedlock.

COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, The Trout Hcnnon, The trout fishing season opened on tho 1st of this month nnd continues until tho 1st of August, a period of four months. The law rolattntr to trout fishlnir nrnvtrina that "no person shall tako for salo any trout less man tlvo inches long, or fish In any waters, In which brook trout have bctn planted by tho fish commissioners, when public notlco of said planting lias been glv. cn, under $20 pcnnlty." Who Will be jPoBttnnnterr That there will bo a change In tho post ofllce of this town very soon, Is no longer a matter of doubt. Thcro Is a deficiency In tho accounts of Postmaster Bccklcy which has stood ever slnco V. II. Hunter decamped with tho funds several years ago. No ono doubts Mr. Bcckloy's honesty In the matter, as It Is believed that the de ficiency Is caused by his mlsfortuno and not by his fault. But tho fact of tho defi cit remains, and ho Is responsible for It, nnd tho letter of tho President Indicates that removals wilt be made In nil such cases. Who will be his succssor Is not yet known, but Indications point strongly to- wards tho appointment of G. A. Clark. Whoever obtains the oftlcc.lt is to be hoped that for lho public convenience thero will bu a different arrangement of boxes. There should be at least two windows for deli very nnd.now boxes with keys so that everyone can get his own mall.

Which, interpreted In the languago then used reads as follows, 'I mamma, goock was dc Becky hooter frest." Thero was just then a blushing girl, nnd a sheepish little boy with their appetites fully satisfied. Tho farmers havo had a long rest, and as there will bo a rather late opening up of the Bcason, they will hardly know what jobs to dispose of first. But I feel proud of my wood pile, and very grateful to the neighbor who gavo mo tho wood. But many would not havo accepted tho wood even ns a gift.

Tho Nevi-Dcaler of Inst Saturday gives the following nccount of John Weiss and his doings for tho past few years. Many people in this county know Wclos, somo alas, too well. Says the Seus-Dealer : For the past few days John Weiss, who was released from the Luzerne county pris on last Thursday, after serving a term of imprisonment for bigamy, and who was then taken to Bloomsburg, where he was wanted for desertion, has been noticed about thts city. Many stories have been published nbout him, and his exploits dur ing the past year, but they were not cor rect and we, thcrfore, think if his career, just for the past seven years, wero written up lu full it would be very Interesting. During the last seven years John has made no end of love, which has brought no end of trublc upon htm, aud his exploits dur ing that time would make plenty of material for n book. Seven years ago John Weiss, tho subject ot this sketch, resided nt Buckhorn, a small town near Bloomsburg, In Columbia county, where he was married to a pretty young lady, named Miss Mngglo Miller, who was tho daughter of a highly respect ed and well-to-do farmer named Wm. Miller. Weiss' alleged object for wedding Miss Mil'er was to obtain money, but he slipped up on that point as his wlfo would not agree to his entreaties and would al ways answer that sho had married htm with tho expectation of being cared for like all good wives should be, and that sho would not ask her fifthcr for money to sup port themselves with. Weiss at once saw that ho had made a mistake, and n short tlnio after the marriage ho told her lie would go in search of employment to cam enough money to go to housekeeping with- He then bid .his wlfegood.byc, promising to return as soon as he had earned a sufficent amount of money, but from that day to this ho has not been near his wife, nor of. fercd her support in any shapo or form. Not long after he had gono away a child was born to Mrs. Weiss, and sho moro than anxiously awaited tho rctuvu of her bus band, but nil In vain. Sho tost track of him soon after, and did not hear of hlrn again until ho was tried In tho Columbia county courts for breach of promise. When Weiss lift Buckhorn ho left for good, at least It Is thought so by tho per sons who are acquainted with nil tho facts In the case. Ho went from Buckhorn to Malnv'Ulc, n small vlllago along tbo Cata- wlssa and Wllliamsport branch of the P. & R. Railroad, wheru he found employment. Ho was not thero many months beforo he becamo enamored of a young lady who was only seventeen years of ago, and was con sldcred ono of tho prettiest girls In that section. Sho was young and Innocent when Weiss first becamo acquainted with her, but she did not remain so long after. Ho was not long In telling her that ho lov. cd her, nnd sho belloved him. During tho courtship he told her that ha was a single roan, aud she began to llovo him In return. When this state of affairs was discovered by Weiss, ho soon accomplished her ruin, at tho same timo promising to mako her his wife, The marriago day was set, but, luckily fot tho girl, a few days beforo the happy event wns to take place sho learned that iter lover had a wlfo and child living at Buckhorn, and at ouce caused Weiss' arrest, Weiss was apprehended by Con stable Woodward, ot Bloomsburg, and lodged In the Columbia county Jail Soon after ho had a trial In tho courts of that county, was found guilty nnd sentenced to imprisonment in -that Jull. Ho remained lu Jail until nearly threo years ago, at which time ho owed that county $73.03. for costs, etc., and one night made his escape from the prison by unlocking tho doors with a wooden key that he bad made during his Imprisonment. Tho key was nicely made COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. and he left It behind as a souvenir, nnd It ll now lo bo seen at tho jail, where It Is kept as n relic. After Weiss made his cs enpo ho skipped out of Columbia county as fast as ho possibly could, and succeeded la evading tho officers of tho law, who wero In search of him. Tho ticaprd prisoner turned his foot Btcps towards this city. When ho reached ButzbAch's Landing,' below Plymouth, ho found employment on lho Pennsylvania Railroad Company's now road, then being constructed. He worked on that road un lit spring came, when ho grew tired of shovelling dirt nnd sought other employ ment. Ho called at the houso of Mrs. Har rold, a widow nnd tho mother of fourteen children, residing In Butlonwood, who cn. gaged him to help do tho farm work dur ing the coming summer of 1883, nt $10 per month. He was thcro not very long before lie fell dend In lovo with Mrs. Harrold, and sho seemed to fall dead In lovo with film, nnd It Is yet nn unsettled question whether sho courted him or he courted her. They wcru finally engaged to bo married, and beforo the ceremony was performed Weiss told Mrs. Harrold that lie had n wlfo living In Buckhorn, from whom ho wns divorced, but Mrs. Harold loved htm so much tho more. She Informed her children that Wclsa had n wlfo living at Buckhorn, but she cautioned them not to say a word nbout tt to any one outsldo of the family. The children did not like tho way their mother acted and Informed her to that ef fect, but she replied that she loved Weiss and was determined to have htm for a hus band, aud that she did not want to hear an other word against her beloved Intended; that If her children did not like thu way she acted they could leave the house, A few days beforo the wedding occurred one of tho daughters expressed her opinion about the affair to .her mother nnd said that sho believed It was wrong for tho wed ping to be held, whereupon her mother grasped her by tho throat and choked her severely, at the same tlmo threatening to kill her If she uttered another word against John Weiss. Tho wedding day flnnlly dawned nnd John Weiss nnd Mrs. Harrold were made man and wife by Rev. Father Nagle, ot this clly. Soon after tho hymenlal event somo of the older children left home nnd sought employment among strangers, where they are still, because they could not bear to see their nged mother live with n man who had a wife nnd child living elsewhere. The couple did not live together very long as somo of tho children of Mrs. Har rold rebelled against such work. They had a warrant Issued for the arrest of Weiss, charging him with bigamy. Wels3 was arrested a little over a year ago, given n trial in the courts of this county, found guilty and sentenced to ono year's imprisonment, nt hnrd labor, In tho Lu zerne county Jail. Mrs. Weiss, formerly Mrs. Harrold, was greatly affected at this turn of affairs nnd It deeply grieved her to see her "Johnny" lodged behind tho iron bars. Weiss was put to work at carpet weaving soon after being confined in prison, and ho turned out to bo n first clnss weaver, but hu sighed for liberty every day during his imprison ment. Mrs. Harrold called on him often and watched him while performing Ms work. She also spoke many kind and cn. couraging words to him nnd furnished him with many palatable dainties. Weiss bore his imprisonment very well and was in ex cellent health at the termination of Ids sen tence on last Thursday, Mrs. Harrold made great preparations to receive her "Johnny" at the expiration of his time in prison and had prepared an elaborate turkey feast for last Thursday. She anticipated a grand timo and so did Weiss, but both wero sorely disappointed, for as soon as Weiss' cell door was opened nnd ho walked out to be a free man again, Constable Tammany of this city, stepped up and arrested htm on a warrant Issue 1 !iy Weiss' father-in-law, William Miller, of Buckhorn. Tho charges .against him wera desertion and non supporting his wife ( f, child. Constable Tammany, assisted by Mrs. llarrold's son-in-law, John Schmldt.the ho tel keeper on West Maikct street, took Weiss to Bloomsburg, Columbia couuty, on Thursday last, and from thence to Buck Horn. At tho latter place Weiss was given n brief hearing before 'Squire Moore, who held bim In $1,000 bail for his appearance at tho May term of court. As no ono in that section was willing to become Wels.' security tho magistrate committed bim to the same county jail from which ho made his escape several years ago, but It would bo an utter Impossibility for him to cscapu from there now as Sheriff Mowrey is a watchful and efficient officer. On tho way to Bloomsburg Weiss In. formed the constablo and Mr. Schmidt that he "would miss a grand turkey roast that Mrs. Harrold hud expressly prepured for him, und that ho was sorry ho could not bo there." Ho wn3 told that Mrs. Har rold would most likely havo no appetite, and he answered that hu guessed such was the case. Ho was further told thut such was the case with men who had too many wives. He answered, "I don't caro for IIiIb scrape, ns I am getting the cheapest rldo I ever had In my life." f-very ono supposed that tho matter would rest at thts point, but such; was not tho case. Mrs. Harrold sought out n lawyer and learned how sho could obtain WelS3' release from prison at Bloomsburg. Gcorgo Dcnn, of South Wllkcs-Barru who claims to bo a partner of hoi's in tho gro cery and tea business In Pell block, on South Main Street, this city, also assist ed Mrs. Hwold In driving away tho cloud of trouble. Tho two,wcnt to Bloomsburg on Friday aud becamo Weiss' bull, and Dcnn ulso paid tho ,$73.05 that was duo that prison when Wclas escaped from it. Mrs. Harrold and Gcorgo Denn accom panied by Weiss, arrived In Wilkcs-Bum on Friday, and there .wns groat rejoicing over tho matter in tho Harrold inauslou In Buttouwood, that evening. On Saturday afternoon John Weiss, Georg Denn aud JMrs. llarrold's hired man camo to Wllkes-Uarro aud purchased a keg of beer, for tho Jollification, which was had on Sunday. They drovo about tho city, with the beer In tho vehicle, and passed up and down West Market street for moro than a dozen times, so that Mr. Schmidt, Mrs. Hnrrold's son-in-law who Is greatly opposed to his mothcr-ln-laws's singular conduct, could seo that John Weiss had obtained his liberty after all. It is lho opinion of Mrs. llarrold's neighbors and acquaintances that tho prop. erty for which hor lato husband nnd chll dren worked hard, will most likely bo squandered If sho continues to Hvo with John Weiss. If her deceased husband's spirit knew of his wife's present notions Ida ghost would rlso up out of tho gravo and haunt her and her present husband. It U also said that a committee should bo an pointed for tho estate, as her most intimate friends claim that .sho is Incompetent to control her own affairs.

Should you ask our boys nnd girls what nntlon wns first to use this article, the prompt answer of many would be, I don't know-. Indeed you may expect n similar answer from some of tho older people. This ' being so, tt Is not surprising that many of our kitchen women think nothing about It, except for the sweetness It con tnlns. Of those who do think, tho extent of their thoughts arc varied. Somo know It ns a homo production ; others, aided by magtnation, run truce It coming from the West Indies Islnnds nnd other places j or ever, trace It to the place where the word originated. When In the family circle tho ancient na. tlons of Central Europe aro discussed, the lea Is generally received that these peoplo our ancestors knew little or nothing of the common things of to-day. In part this Is true, but they havo taught many useful things, among which Is the commonest of articles, sugar. And It should be remem bered when we use this nrtlcle in our coff ee or enjoy our sweetmeats, that, in the oldest language now known, a word Is found which represents tho same article. Also, it should be remembered that one na tion nftcr another has borrowed from tho Sanskrit language this word, sugar. It is not to bo supposed that the Sanskrit word was spelled or pronounced tho same as tho word which wo use, but each nation made such modifications from the original word as was best suited to their language. It would be a curiosity to have collected all the words that aro used to represent this uiuuit;. inueuu, ii tviiuiu uu ll uuuciitiui fttllllv fnr nnv nnn In nrrnnrrn nnil nnnlv7n all these words trarlnir thorn hark In tho 1 llllnra McKncw, 121 Fuyctto St., Bol uii tiieso words, tracing tlicra back to the ttm Md . belfevo 'Favorite root from whence they enmc.

Then we find that the Arabian language has borrow ed the Persian word, modifying it to Snk. knr with a later modification of the first a to o, calling it Sokkur. Tho Spaniards borrowed this word which in thelrlunguago was pronounced Azucnr ; from this tho French has their word, Lucre, nnd from lho French wns obtained our middle Eng lish Sugro (chan. C. T. 1002S), afteiward modified into sugar. 1 do not know how thoso old nntions used the sugar, but I am quite sure that they did not uso it in the same manner in which we uso tho present nrtlcle. Through Jeremiah, the information Is obtained that tho Jews knew It as the sweet enne from a tar country. This proves that it was not grown on their fertile soil. Strabo, on mak- ng mention of It says that Nearchus, an admiral of Alexander, found It In tho East IndleSjthrco hundred nnd twenty-fivo years before Christ.
