E'JEfiOU?IC. PA., FRIDAT. DEC. 22, 18S2. A jcrt was sworn in the Star-route trU'.s laat week anl after a lengthy op ening address by the counsel for the government, the hearing of the testi mony commenced. It is thought the cases will consume three months time. Ir seems now to be definitely settled Ifcat Mr. Pattison hai tendered the of fice of Attorney General to Lewis C Cas :dy, of rhiladeli'hi.i, in whose office he reaJ law, and also the position of Secre tary of the Commonwealth to William S. Stenger, F.s-'I., of OLambersburg. It is understood that both these jrentlemeu have accepted, and th it their names will be 6?nt to the Senate for confirmation as Ui-3 Tint wfflcial act of the new Governor The Il.irridburg Patriot, as will be seen from its pr"?pectui published else wlire,ofIt;r3 strong inducements to thoe wl -y wish to take a paper published at the Slate capital. The Patriot is athor ougMy reliable Democratic 'japer and is conducted with enterprise and ability of a hieb character. The next session of tb Legislature will be a very important one, and a-j the Putriot will contain a full report of its proceedings, it ought to bo most liberally sustained by the Democracy of the State. 11 en it Y "VTaed Beecder entertains boiuo very correct ideas about politics, however wild his notions niay.be about the existence of hell and thecre.ttion of man. In an inverview with L'.m last Tvetk, in which the present and future of politics were discussed, he said ; "In reference to the outlook in I can not bring to my tnind a single promi nent Republican capable of leading the rarty out of its present chaotic state and insuring succe.s. Blaine is the least acceptable of all. He is bold and brilliant, but rash, and his affection for the money power would be fatal to his candidacy." That is the view taken gen erally by shrewd Republican politicians of Mr. Blaine's Presidential chances. The millennial day is surely soon to be ushered in, On Monday last the re Solution for a holiday recess of Congress from December 221 (to day) to January 2 J. carno before the House for consider ation and was defeated by a vote of 105 years to 123 nays. But that is not all, "Tell it not iu Gath, nor publish it in the streets of Ascalon," that on the Bame occasion that model statesman Geo M. Robeson, of New Jersey, introduced a resolution prescribing a fine of fifty dollars uion any member for each day's absence during holiJay week, and It was adopted by the house. "Can such things be and overcome us like a sum mer cloud ?" and so forth. It is, how ever, all child's play, and the recess will yet be voted if we ate not badly mista ken. 1 S. As above predicted, on the very next day after these vittuous pro ceedings took place, the same Geo. M. Rotesoa offered a resolution in favor of the rece.-a, and after u two-hours' wran gle it was adopted by 127 yeas to 101 nays. In tin House this may pass for statesmanship, but it is the lowest kind of Jino Crowism. We direct the attention of our readers to the prospectus for the coming year of tl.i New York Worll, printed elsewhere. We ciin only repeat what we havo said o:i previous occasions, that the World elands ia the very front rank of journal ism in this country, ij dignified iu its tone and is conducted with ability of the highest order. As a Democratic organ its influence and power are felt and ac knowledged in all sections of the Union, and its reliability as a newspaper in the broadest acceptation of the term is uni versally coi.ee led. TUc fullness and ac curacy of its daily foreign intelligence is a marked feature of this great jour nal, and especially commends it to pub lic favor. The Wt(Mj Worll is invalu ble to the farmer, and ought to find a place in the household of every one of that class of our population who can af ford it. Tite Lancaster Intdlujtnccr is direct ing the special attention of the Demo cratic members of the next Legislature to some of the items of expenditures at Harris-burg which they are expected to reform. For several years past he Intdii-jtrircr on frequent occasions has exposed the wholesale stealings and pet ty pilfering which go to make up a large portion of the enormous amount pai 1 out of the public treasury, for what are called Legislative Expenditures, and to the extent of our ability we have aid ed the Jatc'iiQenr in pointing out the shameless frauds that are annually practiced cn the State in tho way indi cated. If the committee of the next House on Retrenchment and Reform will take up the subject with earnest ness and determination, as it ought to do. and apply the pruning knife with a merciless hand, it will receive unstinted public applause. The Auditor General's annual report will show where reform is demanded and how ti e plunder of the treasury can be prevented. Ex-Marshall Henry, of the Dis trict of Columbia has left Washington in disgust and gone baek to Ohio. He was a close personal friend of G.irfield, who took him with bim when he went to Washington to be inaugurated, and afterwards appointed him marshal of the District, A few weeks ago the present Attorney General, Brewster, demand ed that Mr. Arthur should remove him, because of l is alleged sympathy with the Star-route defendants on the former trial. His official heal was quickly ta ken "1 and just before he left Washing ton, a few days ago, he said to a report er that hs far as that city was concern ed, ' it was a cesspool of rottenness and corruption" that "the Republican par ty was largely made np of l.yjtocites and ingues.' unci that his removal was a dia bolical outrage." Henry evidently kec-rs a great deal more about Republi can politics now i ban he did when Gar field p.duced him to leave his stone quar ry in the Western Reserve, not far from Cleveland. Durin'O a discussion in the Senate last week on Mr. Pendleton's civil ser vice reform bill, John ShermaD, in a nhort speech, denied that the result of the Ohio election in October was inten ded as a rebuke to the Republican party In Congrees for its reckless and extra ve gan, waste of the public money, and the real cause of the defeat was the demand o'f a part of the people In that 6tate "for free whiskey and no Sunday." This Imputation upon the motives of his con stituents oomes with a bad grace from a man who, daring the recent campaign in Ohio, made no secret of his opposi tion to the action of the Republican Legislature last winter on the liquor question, and who privately denounced the efforts of Governor Foster to carry water on one shoulder and beer on the other. Sherman would hardly attempt to account for the political revolution at the November election la Massachu setts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsyl vania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Cali fornia on the "free whiskey and no Snn day" dodge. In Ohio a majority of the members of Congress elected are Dem ocrats. Were they elected on the ques tion of free whiskey and no Sunday ? Did the people in Ohio, or any other State, vote to turn the Republicans out of power in Congress and put in their places a majority of Democrats, for any other reason than the profligate expend iture of the public money, which has in creased year after year, or was the revo lution caused by a love for whiskey and no Sunday? It was a protest by the tax payers against Republican extravagance and robbery, in conducting the affairs of the national government, and Sher man, who has become through office holding at Washington a millionaire from being a poor man, thoroughly un derstands the meaning of the popular verdict. His "free whiskey and no Sun day theory" will not hold good in regard to the election in bis own State, and still less in reference to the result in any of the others. An act of Assembly was passed in this State, in 1861, conferring on Jus tices of the Peace in Erie and Union counties the power of summoning a jury of six, to try certain minor offenses of the grade of misdemeanors. This act was subsequently extended to several other counties in the State, and Borne years ago a special act was passed con ferring the same power upon Justices of the Peace In Johnstown, The con stitutionality of such legislation has fre quently been denied upon the ground that it is in conflict with the sixth sec tion of the Bill of Rights, which says : "Trial by jury shall remain as hereto fore and the right thereof remain invio late." A case involving the constitu tionality of the original act was ar gued before the SupremeCourt at Phila delphia last week. The case was that of Jno. Lavery,of Crawford county, who was arrested in Meadville. In November, 1SS1, for an assault and battery on Jas. Ma'.ouey, and brought before an alder man of that place. He was tried by a jury of six, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine a five dollar. The record of the proceedings before the Alderman having been taken to the Court of Com mon rieas for review, that Court over ruled the exceptions, and confirmed the judgment of the alderman. A writ of error was taken to the Supreme Court, and in behalf of Lavery it was contend ed by h:3 counsel that the actof Assem bly was unconstitutional, for the reason above referred to, that it was plainly in conflict with the Bill of Rights. On the other hand the act in no w ay abridged the right of a citizen to be tried by his peers, and that it was an advantage in saving to a person convicted the large amount of costs incident to all trials in the Quarter Sessions. The Court afflrm cd the judgment of the Court below thus maintaining the jurisdiction of the alderman and declaring the act consti tutional. It is by no means certain that the Re publican leaders will be able to make good their threat to admit the Territory of Dakota before the adjournment of Congress on the 4th of March. Nearly all the high officials in the Territory are at Washington pressing its admission. Ordway, the Governor, is there, and so is Harrison Allen, a former resident of Warren, in this State, and a blower and striker for Cameron, who recently had him appointed chief Marshal of the Ter ritory. Other officials are also there, and each one expects to be U. S, Sena tor from the State of Dakota. The strongest argument, in their judgment is that at the November election 31,000 votes were cast in the Territory just about the number polled in Lancaster ; county at the Presidential election two ! years ago, and only about 3,000 more than were cast in Berks county at the same election. The Democrats will re feist the project to the bitter end. Thev had their eye-teeth cut at the session of 1S7G, when they could have prevented, but foolishly admitted Colorado, whose three votes were cast for Hayes and elected him. The contest over the ques tion w ill be a bitter one, and if the JDeru ocrats succeed in defeating the scheme they will deserve the thanks of all fair minded men. Hon. R. P. Flower, whorepresents one of the New York city districts in Congress, gave a dinner one day last week in Washington to the members of the Democratic Congressional Commit tee. ThV!iicidents of the late cam paign wervSpleasantly discussed and es pecially the resources of the committee which all the members united in saying consisted of the necessary number of postage stamps and public documents, the opposition of the press of the coun try to Hubbell's assessments of govern ment employe? for political purposes, and the internal revenue and tariff is sues, but that not one dollar in money had been spent by the Committee in an effort to carry a Congressional district. The country will be glad to learn that such is the fact, because it is a most in structive commentary upon the theory of the Republican leaders.that the Con gressional elections could only be car ried by the con upt use of money. That expeiiment was tried through Hubbell's committee, and the people elected a Con gress which will contain between tdxtj and seventy of a Democratic majority. OUR PHILADELPHIA. LETTER. CHARITABLE GIVING BEQUESTS TO CHARITABLE OR BENEVOLENT IN STITUTIONS ABE SELDOM EITHER CHARITABLE OR BKNEVOLENT COL LOSAL SUMS OF MONEY THE POWER OF MONEY A MATTER Or VITAL IM PORTANCE TO THE AMERICAN FKO FLE 8TARTLING FACTS A NATION AL PERIL WEALTH COVERS INFAMY AND SUCCESS KNOWS NO SHIMS A SEETHING CALDRON OF DISCONTENT UNDERLIES SOCIETY A NEW PENN SYLVANIA SAILROAD A OOOD COM ING OUT OF AN EVIL, ETC., ETC. Philadblphia, Dec. 18, 1882. Dear McPikb I have been ponder ing over the subject of charitable giving. The subject of charitable giving is one in which most people need much better training than they have yet enjoyed. It is plain to the most casual observer that many worthy objects are shamefully ne glected by the very onee who ought to support them. All humanity wants credit forgiving, but in any way, except in good wishes, don't respond "to chari table appeals. There is but little differ ence between the Jew and the Gentile in the matter of liberality. The Jews of old were expected to give one-tenth of their incomes to the poor, but to what extent ttey lived up to their re sponsibility and privilege in thia partic ular, and to what extent they dodged their duty, I have no accurate means of knowing. I do know, however, that now-a-days, with nearly all who could do, they let wishing take the place of doing. Bequests to benevolent or char itable institutions are seldom either charitable or benevolent. Those who live a life of close fistedness, when they have to die try to compromise for years of wicked 8tiuginess by leaving In their wills bequests to certain charitable and benevolent institutions ; but had it not been that they had to go away and leave their wealth the charitable and benevo lent concerns would never have received a penny of it. It is true that a miser's money is just as good to charitable in stitutions as that given to them by a liberal Christiau, but how much better it would have been for bim to have giv en some needy persons the benefit of his money while living. There are objects of.beneficence which every wealthy per son knows of, or can learn of while liv ing, bnt which they shamefully neglect. COLLOSAL SUM3 OF MONEY. While I am not a communist, I must say that I look with great apprehension at the rapid accumulation of countless millions of dollars in the hauds of a few individuals. The power of such tre menduous wealth as that of Vanderbilt, Gould, Mackey and others is not only great but dangerous. The concentra tion of such collosal sums of money, only a few of which I have now in mind and to which I will refer, will be a mat ter of great importance to the American people some day. Not very long since, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company sent to New York its single check for fifteen millions of dollars to pay for the stock of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had absorbed. Jay Gould bought up all the loose odds and euds of railways in the southwest and northwest and welded them together iuto the Union Pacific Railroad system. Gould gave his check for live millions or ten millions of dol lars (he forgot which); with which he captured the Western Union Telegraph Company. Just think of it I When Gould launched his monster monitor, the Western Union Telegraph Company, he didn't know whether his piratical craft had cast him rive millions or ten millions of dollars. William II. Van derbilt sold out his small interest in the Western Union for eight millions of dollars, and received a check for that amount. How many coupon bonds of the Government Vanderbilt holds hea ven only knows. It is impossible to tell, even to attempt to tell, how much any very wealthy man is worth. Van derbilt is probably the richest man in the world. He has fifty or one hundred millions of dollars more than he has use for. He has over fifty millions of dol lars deposited iu tho treasury vaults in -New i mk city, His income on city property alone is over two millions a year. Counting his railroad stock and other stock and bonds, his real estate, etc., bis wealth is bewildering. Taking the wealth of Vanderbilt and letting it increase for ten or fifteen years as fast as it has increased during the last ten or fifteen years, and what Is there he will not be able to accomplish ? Ten , yes, hundreds of millions of dollars is no obsticle to the accomplishment of any design to such men as Vanderbilt, Gould and other money collosals. Take Jay Gould, for instance, whose power over the railroad and telegraph lines of the country is boundless, what infamous project is there that he could not successfully carry out ? The large sums of money that are at this day be ing transferred through the single check ot a corporation or a 6ingle individual, is startling. The Pennsylvania Rail road Company not long since handed over to the Panama Railroad Company a check for twenty millions of dollars in payment of the stock of the latter com pany, and its authority was afterwards given the directors to issue 400,000 shares of new stock, to be eold and ap plied to the purchase of the P. W. and B. railroad, which 400,000 shares at par will amount to twenty millions of dol lars. A NATIONAL PERIL. nere in the United States, notwith standing the evidences ot prosperty on every hand and means of rapid advance ment in material wealth and influence, there are many indications of a stoim. Indeed, all over the world things pre sent a stormy appearance. A glance over the general condition of things pre sents a horoscope which may well at tract the attention of conservative minded men. The discord in Irelend, Russia and other couutries is reflected in occasional outbreaks in Spain. While there is no immediate occasion for alarm there is occasion for prudence. Storms are occasionally inevitable, and they effect those least who are best pre pared for them. We reiterate that in this blessed country, notwithstanding the evidences of prosperity and of rapid advancement in material wealth, there are many indications that a storm of no small proportions is brewing. While we are not an alarmist, we must in can dor say, there is seething caldron of dis content and disquietitude underlying society everywhere, mud unless this Government is- to prove a disastrous failure unless this Government in its turn is to be plunged into the black abyss of rnin and oblivion that has swallowed up all the republics of the past, some remedy must be devised to save it. In the Unitel States at the present day wealth covers infamy, and success knows no shame. With us, a wealthy and unfluential criminal has a ten-fold better chance of baffling justice than one destitute of resources and friends. If Dorsoy and Brady escape just punish ment for their crimes, it will Ih through use of the millions of money they have stolen. In their case there can be no honest acquittal. If acquitted, it will be the corrupting of jurors and witness es. It is the only way of escape for these criminals. There is not a shadow of donbt about the deliberate and re peated frauds perpetuated by these men, by which the government was robbed of millions of dollars. Wealth possessed silences all questions of how it was at tained, and triumphant rascality holds its unblushinz front higher than the head of unprosperous virtue. Universal corruption now prevails in our politics, legislation and civil service. Even the judiciary itself iismurehed. The num ber of officers in the various depart ments of the public service who resist a bribe judiciously under circumstances where opportunity combines with temp tations, is exceedingly small. Every candid and well-informed American will admit that the administration of justice in England is mon pure than in the United States, and that English Judges, as a general rule, are more in dependent, impartial and incorruptible. We are far from assuming that all jud ges and politicians are corrupt, that courts and legislatures are venal, or that there are no honest officials and employ ees in our custom houses, postoffices and revenue departments. But the belief is general throughout the conntry and among all classes, that the great major ity of those who make a business of pol itics are men utterly destitnte of princi pal or honor ; that, as a general rule, any municipal or State legislature can be rontrolled by skillful lobbyists, back ed by capital and acting in the interests of powerful corporations. PENNSYLVANIA BIO ENOUGH FOR TWO ROADS. It will be happy intelligence to mauy citizens to learn that Pennsylvania is big enough for two railroads. It is gratifying to be assured that the Read ing, together with the Lake Erie, the Pittsburgh, Youghiogheny and Mc Keesport, and the Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern railroads, propose build ing a new South Pennsylvania railroad. The road !s to start from the terminus of the Reading railroad at Harrisburg, and will connect with the Youghioghe ny and Pittsburgh road, at a point on Youghiogheny river. It will be a prom inent road as a western extension of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad to Chicago and the Northwest. The peo ple of Pennsylvania and the general public will rejoice to learn that the Northern Pennsylvania Railroad will have a competing line. Success to the new road. It does seem that good will sometimes come from evil. Like thunder storms purifying the atmosphere, villianies sometimes bring a healthful rebound of honesty and justice. Had the Star route thieves been less greedy, they might have continued stealing the sur plus from the Postoffice earnings so that the Department could not have run the machine at reduced rates of postage. Happily, through their immense steal ings the knowledge cam- that the rates of postage could be reduced, and when they are reduced, as they likely will be, the public should not forget the Star route thieves. The poor Washington city thieves cannot carry on their business profitably, because the Washington city detectives require too large a percentage of their stealings. Washington city detectives levy too high a tarLff on Washington city thieves' plunder. Tom. Ochiltree is to be presented with George Washington's little hatchet, with a picture of George, his father and the cherry tree on the blade. Tom. is delishted with this implied compliment to his voracious veracity. It is hoped that Mr. Bliss wiil be rea dy for ex-Senacor Spencer when he gets back from Canada, where he has gone to cool his ardent heels. . Spencer has at present no railroad business, and can take his time in enjoying Canada's bo real delights, instead of the delights of the lobby in Washington. G. N. S. Bemeniber Tbln.

A Dastardly Deed. -Fix's Hollow, a very lonely, isolated locality in the East End, Fittsburg, was the scene ol a desperate out rage on Monday morning. For years past an old woman named Fix has occupfpd a house, with her 9on, a man about thirty-five years of age, as hr only companion. The place is entirely Isolated, and exceedingly lonely, the nearest bouse being half a mil? distant.

Two brothers, George and James Fraley, the latter a mere boy, were arrested in Com anche county, Texas, charged with stealing cotton, and were placed under guard at Hazle Dell. At midnignt a mob, armed with shotguns, overpowered the guard, took the prisoners to a wood and banged them to e same limb of a tree. Dr. George W. Wisener. a Baltimore oc ulist, cured a rich man of blindness, and the grateful patient bequeathed bim a largo pro perty. When the man died, vears after, hla daughter was left a panoer, and she wrote I" iu7 iifvoM ior kmi. nr hi once shiipi ior Europe, and placed the entire fortune In her hands. Now that be is dead, this act is re called to bis credit. Eva Terwllliger, of Independence, Ohio, made herself very attractive to several yonng men of the town, but when she had gained their affection she made It a condition ot continued acquaintance that they should steal, under her directions, and bring to her the booty. Thev did so for a while, but be came jealous of each other, and one has con fessed. A young son of Mr J. W. TJselton, of Wellsville, O., met with a singular and ser ious accident. While skating he picked up a piece of phosphorus and ignorant of results placed it In his pocket. Theauhstane soon horribly burned bim on the side and along the leg. So far all efforts to relieve him have proved Ineffectual, and the little fellow is suffering greatly. Miss Sumner, of Waterford, Minn., be ing about to elope with Edward Lamphere, was careful to Instruct him which of the two borses ti take from her father's stable, be cause one was slow and the other fast, and she knew that the remaining beast would be used for pursuit. But Lamphere made a mistake, and the pair were overtaken befoie tbey reached a minister. James Brennan, a laborer, was choked to death in a dining saloon on Willoughby street, Brooklyn on Friday. Fie hart just said that he was a good Catholic, but bad a Protestant stomach and would eat meat. A piece of meat lodged In his throat and cbok ed bim before assistance could be rendered. The Lewlstown (Pa.) Ooirtte tells of a little boy living in that place who was using an automatic pencil with indelibl lead in school one dav last week, when the point broke off and flew into his eye, the water of the eye dissolving the substance. Both eves swelled shut, his face assumed a purple) hue, and for a few days no rlief could be found. He Is now slowly recoveriag.

The ten year old son of a farmer named Wilkinson, living near Centerviile, Ohio, ' mounted a young horse to ride him to the I watei i ng trough. He complained of the cold ; and, at bis brother's suggestion, tied the hal- . ter to iiis wrist, so that he could put his hands in his pockets.

" Two months ago, In the Ohio rtenitentia- : ry, were held for life Imprisonnisnt two murderers from Fremont, Knapn and Welsh. Since then Knapp has been pardoned for the ' alleged reason that he had consumption and death was daily expected. He. is in sound health and appeared so when he arrived at ' Fremont. On Tuesday the body of Welsh, who died In the penitentiary the day before of consumption, was sent to Fremont for burial. The wrong man was pardoned, ! A tew dau ago a man named Wilson, living In Braddock, was arrested and st-nt to Jail. Shortly thereafter bis wife left the place, deserting their two young children. These were taken in bv a woman named ( Cole living in a shanty boat on the Monon , gahela river. The children met with such 1 neglect that on Saturday night one ot them died, and the other Is not expected to live. ! The CoroDer was to bold an Inquest on Mon ! day.

Last week the case was on trial and was concluded on Saturday. ' Next morning the Jury sent word to Judiie ! Bailey that they had agreed upon a verdict. : The jury was sent for, and the prisoner j brought into court. Their verdict was mur- ' der in the first degree. This makes the fifth ! murderer ODder sentence of death in 1ail In Allegheny county. An application was made in Common Pleas Court, No. 2, at Pittsburgh, on Satur day, which is the first Instance of the kind " "tr ovcurrwu. in inn srare. 1 Ins was the application of Mrs. P. S. Breckenridgf, of Allegheny, for naturalization papers. Mrs. Breckenridgo has been in this country thirty-one years, and having come when un der age needed but one raper, which was granted. The lady Is going to Europe and deV-ed to be a citizen of the United States before her departure. A pretty octoroon girl asked the advice of the Chief of Police of Allegheny City on Friday as to how she couli obtain the body of Janie Matthews, of that citr. who com. mltted su'eide in Chicago a few days before by shooting himself. She claims to have been man led to Matthew several rears ago ! 8me of lho pnlpit mountebanks Mr. Inger and that bis parents had Induced him to leave !

A hog was raffled for last week at Wom elsdorf, Berks county, that is probably the largest hog In the United States. It weighs over fourteen hundred pounds and is c.nlied "Jumbo," Twenty-eight hundred tickets were sold, each ticket entitling the holder to three throws, the highest number of heads thrown with seven old copper cents to take the hog. An immense crowd from all parts of the county attended the raffle. It was won by a boyjfrom Reading, who made eigh: teen heads out of a possibie twenty one. John Schpengler, a laborer, shot his wife in Baltimore on Saturday morning while she was lying asleep in bed with her three chil dren by her side, ne then shot himself in the temple and fell dead. The wounded wife called for helu and attempted to go down stairs, but fell on the floor snd died in a few moments. Schpengler was a sober man, but indolent, and did not contribute to the support of his family. HU wife's sister, with whom the family lived, had frequently I count of his indolence.

To the list, including Bi:-hon Che ney, Professor Swing, Dr. Thomas and the agonistic actor, Miln, is now added the Rev. J. F.

The on'.y comp'a'nt made by the pastor istnat his flock have not paid him an oversight which he proposes to correct through the agency of the law. A strange story conies from Troy, N. T., of a man named William Tendeigrass, who passed a silver dollar in Buffa'o last fall which was alleged to be counterfeit. He was indicted In the United States District Court at Auburn. When his case came to trial he plead guilty and was senteucad to one year in the penitentiary. The coin was Rfterward forwarded to Washington, where it was assayed and found to be penuine.

He seems to have been a very simple minded man and not to have under stood the effect of his plea. Henry Moser, of Fhlllipsburg, X. J.. has been one of the most unfortunate of men. In 18S2 his father was drowned and his sister died week before last after a sro- tracted illness. Several years ago. while 1 emplovad as a brakeman on the Jersey Cen tral railroad, bis head was injured by com ing tn contact with an Iron pipe at a water tank lett standing over the track. Since that accident he has been subject to a series of severe fits, which ended in his death. Last Thursday evening about 5 o'clock he was found dead at the foot of the steps in the Interior of tha Belvidere Delaware dwpot tn Phillipsburg, having been taken with a fit at the top and fallen to the bottom. He was found lying in such a position that it is supposed he choked to death. Alfred Jinks, the owner of a Tarra In Stokes county, N. C., a few days ago sold his wife to Noah M. Gildwell, a neighboring farmer, for flOO He then sold his farm and movad away. Tbe transfpr was made as as though the man had simply swapped bor ses.

At a rucent meeting of the oyerseers of Harvard College, a discussion was held up on a resolution which has been before the bard for several weeks, that In the opinion of this board, the statutes making attend ance on morning prayers and other religious exercises compulsory should be repealed. The board, by a strong vote, refnrd to adopt the resolution. But Mr. George Shif fer, lately of Martinsburgh, Blair Co., Pa., who bad a cancerous growth on his nose, and who was advised the use of Pmruna, be fore a visit to a Cancer Hospital, was allow ed to take that par-excellent remedy, and by its use for a very abort time, was cured com pletely page 24 In the "Ills of Life" get one from jour druggist.
