J. SIMPSON AFRICA, of Huntingdon
Bill Armstrong authorises a denial of
the report that he has gone back on the
greenbackers. lie says he still sticks to
thein. Better there than in his old rad
ical bunk. But better yet if he came
over at once to the democracy.
The Mifllinburg Telegraph last week
also had the fraudulent republican sup
plement-dodging the post age in order
to have it circulated. Nice business.
The party must be down to hard
tack else why swindle Vnclo Sam in a
matter of postage ?
The late legislature pawed a new fee
bill for county officers—sheriffs, pre*
thonotarios, clerks of the several courts,
registers and recorders, in all coun ir*
having more than ten thousand and less
thau one hundred and fifty thousand
inhabitants. It makes a universal re
duction of the fees, and will U ssen •
value ofthe several offices to a consider
able extent. It will also have the effect
of lessening the competition for those
offices in future campaigns. Its provi
sions do not affect present incumbents.
The sheriff is affected the most and the
recorder and register the least. We see
U stateil that the reduction m the
sheriff's fees will be to SO per cent,
those ofthe prothonotary :X> to 40 per
cent. and those of Ue recorder and reg
ister ?0 per cent.
The editor of the X. N. Advocate,
greenback paper, has gone into bank
ruptcy—he put out his paper for less
than it cost, and those who put in their
quarters and halves for the Advocate
can aeo how they put money out of their
pockets and filled the pockets of another.
We never knew that a thing could he
*/.d for less than cost, unless there was
cheat and loss somewhere.

Gov. Hendricks in a speech at Indian*
apo'is, a few nights ago, and refer
ring to the evil results of the crime per
petrated in placing a mail in the presi
dential chair not chosen by the people,
gave the people warning that the
legislature to be elected now would
have to chose a United states senator.
Mr. Voorhees. He believes that the na
tional bank notes should be retired and
in lieu thereof there should be issueJ by
the government an equal amount of
treasury notes, and that the right to
issue paper money as well as coin is the
exclusive prerogative of the government.
He also believes that congress should
provide for taxation by the states of the
United States treasury notes, as other
money is taxed, and he believes the
policy of General Grant's administration
and the present administration in con
verting our debt into a foreign debt is
unwise and inexpedient and that the
true policy of our government and the
best Interests of the people would be
subserved by making it a domestiedebt
by affording the people the nioet favor
able and practical opportunities for the
investment of their savings in the fund
ed debt of the United States. He be
lieves also in the restoration of the sil
ver dollar, with fbll legal tender quality
in payment of all debts both public and
private, and that the coinage thereof
should be made as free and unlimited as
that of gold. He repelled the accusa
tion that the success of the democrats
means payment of southern claims,
that being prohibited by the constitu
tion.
Speaking of Hayes' southern policy,
he said : Hayes and his administration
are incapable of any policy, but what
they have done in the south, be (Hen
dricks) approved. He said General
Grant will probably be the next repub
lican candidate; his candidacy will
signify strong government, always
prepared to hold the people in con
trol.
The Clinton county democracy held
their convention, Tuesday 13. lion. L.
A. Mackey was put in nomination for
congress. This is an endorsement of
Col. Mackey's course in congress, and
wc may say it has already been endors
ed by every honest man, in the district
without regard to party. It is a record
without a flaw. Col. Mackey, however,
Joes not think of being a candidate for
a tLird term, and is willing to give way
a promising field to any other good
democrat in this district, whom he will
cheerfully support. This is in keeping
with the noble nature of L. A. Mack< y,
and wo have no doubt the future has
further honorable calls in store for him,
when the gallant democracy of Clinton
will find hearty responses in favor of
her favorite son.
The occupation of the country post
master's who played sharp on the stamp
business is gone; some of the petty
offices managed to manufacture salaries
equal to the smaller cities.
Since the going into effect of the law
which makes the amount of stamps can

standard of postmasters of the fourth (
class, the post office department has
been overwhelmed with resignations
from postmasters of this class.
All the state treasurers from 1870 to
1878—from Bickel down to Noyes—say

LEGAL ADVRRTISJSG IS CO-0 WR
ATH'E PAPERS
THE COT'KTS I>EC!LE IS THEIR FAVOR.
From the Dover (N. J. 1 Index, July 25, '7th
The" Patent Outside" Business Settled.
During the month of June last, there
appeared in the columns of the lr.-Ur
two advertisements of Master's Sales of
real estate, the property of Samuel Cow,
of this city, to be sold under mortgage*
held by the Dover llank and the Nation
al Union Bank of Dover. While the sales
were being advertised we were also pub
lishing, by authority, the laws of New
Jersey, passed at the last session of the
Legislature, and being desirous of get
ting through with the laws as soon as
possible, without any curtailment in the
quantity of our reading matter, local
news, etc., we published a supplement,
or more properly speaking simply ens
larged our paper to six pages.
On the day of sale Mr. COM served
written protests against the sale, on the
Master, on the ground that the adver
tisements thereof were not legal because
they had been printed twice during the
publication on the extra leaf or so called
supplement, and because the Index was
then a "patent outside" newspaper. The
sales took place, however.
To satisfy some of the parties interest
ed as to the perfect legality of the title
thus obtained, a petition to set aside the
sale, in the case of the National Union
Bank of Dover, was tiled in Chancery,
alleging as a ground therefore the rea
sons above stated. The petition fully and
squarely raised the issue as to whether
A newspaper using a "patent out
side," printed outside the State,
was a newspaper printed and pub
lished in this State, in which land sales
might be legally advertised ;and, wheth
er the fact that the advertisement was
printed on an extra leaf, that was mere
ly an enlargement of the paper for the
time being, and that was circulated as
fully as the principal sheet, rendered
the advertisement illegal.
This question WHS argued before the
Vice Chancellor,at Newark, on Wednes
day, July 17th, and a decision rendered
the day following "that surh an adrertiM
inent was legal and suflicirnt, and was IsAh <t
substantial atul literal compliance u-ith the
statutory rtquiremcnt;" and the motion to
set aside the sale was denied and peti
tion dismissed.
The order for this purpose bearing the
signature of the Chancellor, and the re
cords of the proceeding may now bo
found in the office of the Clerk in Chan
cery at Trenton.
As a number of newspapers in this sec
tion, notably so the Jerseyman and the
Iron Era, have had considerable to say
about the non-legality of advertiseing in
"patent outside" newspapers, we would
respectfully call their attention to the
decision of Chancellor Runyon as given
above. It will be seen that it Jhas been
declared legal to advertise in "patent
outside" newspapers, as well as in a sup
plement, or rather enlargement, of a
paper, such an the Index was for several
weeks iiuMoy and June last.
Tne above decision of the Court of
Chancery will, we believe, serve tocheck
the carping of the "all at home papers."
Will they be fair enough to publish this
decision ?

TIN: LTIJTRNVT.AR STATE ROMPS*
Till' Philadelphia Times referring to
this newly discovered crookedness, says. i
thai ii seems reasonably certiiln that
there has hi i n a suTeptiliousand fratid
ulcut issue of either a part 01 the whole
lof one hundred thousand dollars of
Pennsylvania State honds which should
have been canceled. lly the not of April
ll>, is.Vt, a loan was authorised for such
amount as minht be necessary to cancel
the overdue loans ofthe t'onunonwealth.
It appears that five hundred thousand
dollars of such bonds were executed by
liovernor Bigler and treasurer biekel.
but the records of the Ire usury show
that only four hundred thousand were
i-sued. Tie debt record of the Tuusu
ry has exhibited hut that amount as due
tii creditors for those bonds, and for
' nearly a quarter of a century no demand
has been made for interest i>n more
thau the four hundred thousand dollars.
The loan has now matured and has been
called in for payment, and coupons
have been recently presented for part of
the one hundred thousand dollars of
bonds which, to all appearances, should
have been canceled in IvY'or ls>4. 'lhe
Commissioners of the Sinking luiid
have wisely decidoil to refuse to redeem
more than the four hundred thousand of
the loan which appear on the books of
the Treasury to have been issued and
accounted for, until directed by the f*og
ialalurv,although the genuineness ofthe
bond* does imt seem to admit of doubt.
Mr. Mat kev strikes the marrow of the
issue by his reference to the irregular
manner iu which the payment of the
bonds .s suggested, apparently from for
eign holders and through a banking
house that throws doubt upon the reg
ularity of the bonds by the inquiries
made.
The bonds alleged to have been fraud
ulent! v is*ued were authorised and exe
cuted during John M. Bickel's adminis
tration of the Treasury anil he presents
an apparent acquittance by the receipt
he holds from the late Mr. C. S. lloker,
then president of the Giraril Hank.
Joseph llailey succeeded Mr. llickel as
Treasurer in ISM and continued in offi
co one year. Eli Slifer succeeded him
in IH.W, serving one year, w hen the late
Henry S. Magraw was elected and syrv*
i\l from 1554 to ISMh The records of
the Treasury office do not show any ne
gotiations or returns to the State ft-om
any part of the five hundred thousand
dollar loan after Mr. llickel's term, and
all his suucoMors who could be reached
in this city and by telegraph, give uni
form answer that they never heard of
any port of the one hundred thousand
dollars of bonds w inch should have been
canceled not later than 1354. True, the
bonds under the provisions of the art
authorizing their issue, could have been
held and legally converted at any time
to redeem overdue loans of the State
and that would nem to explain their
deposit in the iiirard Hank in l*vVt. The
depiisit was made subject "to the order
of the State Treasurer," who could law
fully use them only for paying overdue
i loans, but the records of the Treasury
fail to show that ever the State received
the proceeds of any portion of those
bonds. The receipt produced by Mr.
Biekel from the president of theGirard
. Bank must necessarily le the starting
point for inquiry as to the disposition
made of the bonds, and if Mr. Biekel or
any of his successors in office subse
• qoently re eived them, the responsibili
. ty returns to the Treasurer of the State,
and it cannot be a difficult matter to
trace the bonds to the period when they
disappear from the records of the banks
and Treasury. Wherever that record
ceases would seem to be the place
I w hence there must be accountability
now to the Commonwealth.

The discovery has been recently made
that bonds of the State of Pennsylvania
deposited with the Sute's financial
agent, but never issued, to the extent of
SIOO,OOO, are now in the hands of innrx
cent holder*. The Ducks County Intelli
gencer publishes the details, and it is
jioasible that their authority may be At
torney < ienoral I<ear:
"It appears that in the year 1*52 the
legislature authorised a loan of $1,000,-
UOO to meet the financial necessities of
the times, which were then very press
ing. This was found to bo not sutlicient
and at the next session an additional
of $500,000 was authorized. The bonds
of the hurt issue were dated August 1,
1853, and were parable ,in twenty-five
year*. William ftipler was Governor
and John M. Dickel Mate Treasurer at
that time, and all the bonds were duly
signed by them. It turned oat that the
whole amount of money for the last is
sue of $500,000 was not required, and af
ter SIOO,OOO had been sold the remaining
f 100,'Xkj were left in the possession of
the (iirard Bank, in Philadelphia, which
was then the financial agent of the
btate. In process of time the State offi
cers were changed and no one remem
bered the fact that sl<*>,ooo of regularly
signed but unissued bonds were in exis
tence. They remained in forgetfulnoss
until within a few months, wben the
Treasury officials became aware that
they had somehow gotten into the mar
ket and were likely to be presented for
redemption. <>n the Ist of August a
number of the bonds, amounting in
value to SIB,OOO, were presented at the
Treasury, they being due and pnvable
on that day. The question as to wheth
er they should he recognized or not was
submitted by Mr. Foycs to the Attorney
General, and that officer has advised
their payment on the ground that they
are genuine bonds now in the hands of
innocent holders. How they ever got
out of the custody of the bank, and into
the jiossession of outside parties, is yet
a deep mystery. It is said that the hank
lodger containing the record of bonds
disposed of under this laon has disap
peared. No coupons belonging to the
over-issue of bonds have ever been pre
sented for payment, and their appear
ance for redemption is the first tangible
evidence of their existence that has
come to light."
STATEMENT OF A HANK OFFICER.
Mr. I>. B, Cummins, the President of
the Ginud Bank, stated to a reporter
that the issue specified in the aliove ar
ticles was under a former administra
tion of the bank, long before he became
connected with the institution in any
way. "Beyond"that," added Mr, Cum
mins, "1 think the story is a very im
probable one, and I doubt very much
that the bonds referred to hive ever
been presented for payment. If such
had happened the Btate authorities
would surely have come to the hank
and asked us what we knew about it.
But the first intimation we had of this
affair was when we saw it published this
morning.
"The article in question," concluded
Mr. Cummins, "insinuates that the hank
ledger containing the record of bonds
has disappeared ; but on the contrary,
the ledgers are ail here and every thing
appears to be straight. Then, again, it
is improbable that twenty-five years
should elapse without any of the coupons
being presented."

were terribly alarmed but communication
with the cabin was prevented and lha pas

The Oak Creek Valley, near Lincoln,
has improved rapidly since I saw it in 1876
and 1K77, and I suppose there is no belter
land in the United State.
There are six families from Centro and
Huntingdon counties, all doing well. On
most of tbc farms on Oak Creek tbero it
timber sufficient fur fuel, and the water
from wells aa clear and at cold as any I
ever saw in Penn'a. The crops, general*
ly, are very good. In thit valley 1 saw as
Sno horses, cows and hogs, as in any place
I have ever been. "What makes this val
ley go desirable is that it is near thecity of
Lincoln, tbo teat of government. Mills,
school houses, stores, and post offices are
very convenient. Besides this, the soil is
rich and land cheap considering the local
ity. The soil is vory deep and forms as
fine a basis for agriculture as any in the
world. There is no hard pan and no near
underlying rock excepting In a few cases,
and, in general, it mustonduremany years
of constant farming without the aid of fer
tilisers. Kven upon the rolling prairie the
soil is rich with a deep, open sub-soil. No
one who buys this land will be deceived.
Improved land aan be bad very low ; for
example, eighty acres, good house, stable,
cribs, sheds, some limber—all for $ 1200.

le Ho lomehow revealed that fact "For
tho invnibte thing* of Him are clearly
seen from the creation of the world." bo
■ auie "God hath shown" "that which mav

tuoliie* and eiuotion* are learned, not by
a Kng process of generalisation* from the
fact* of the world, but by a simple, open
eyed, o|>en-hearted, chlld-likn observation
of tho movement* of the intellect and
heart of Jesut. If the life of Jeiu* be the
index by which uien may know the work
ing* of an infinite nature, then wemuat be
lieve that the dear God, our Father, never
doe* a tingle thing to afflict ii is human
• hildreit unnecessarily, never take* a de
light in their sufferings, is always ready to
rave them from their sins, and Joe* what
soever an infinitely wise and benevolent
nature can suggest to make them happy.
So Jesus win. 8o God mutt he.
Now, it i* w remarkable characteristic of
Jesus that He never spoke an unnecessary
word nor performed an unnecessary deed.
He never did for another what that person
could do for himself. There -esmod to be
omnipotence at His command. He claim
ed that there was. He performed acts
a bich go as far as acts can go to prove the
possession of limitless power. All disease
was under His control. He could imtaii
laneuutly heal lepers, upon the eyes of the
blind, unstop the ear* ol the deaf, and give
lone uud health to chronic paralytics. All
nature teemed under His command. He
could still storms, and multiply bread a
thousand-fold, evau indefinitely, and
change water into wine. He was 'be mas
ter o! tho grave lie sent >'.'< summons
through iu gale into et' rn(t y Ml j ~,|l tfd
hack the spirits ot Jong-departed to
re-mhabita lueir former bodies. There
11 "" perceptible limit to Hit power.
Ana yet lie aever performed a miracle
to gratify Hi* own passion or those of oth
er*. lie never exerted ill* great power for
display if Jesus were a mere man to
whom Almighty God had for a season del
egated Hi* alnughtiness, it is inconceiva
ble that He should not at some tiuie have
put forth Hi* hand to gratify the curiosity
uf ills beloved friends, or to indulge ills
own desire for display, or bind the hands
of Hi* foe*, or destroy them with III* ward
of j>ower. Hut He never did. 1 never
knew a man, never heard ofa man, find no
record in any history of a man, o conti
nent, so gloriously self-centrolling, (bathe
would not, at least once in hia nfe-time,
i break over the hounds and exert thi* dele
gated power seltshly. Jesus never did.
: l hen God never doe*, it is the merest
'fanaticism to desire and pray tbat God
will give ui a sign, do a wonder, and set
!the universe agape at hi* mo.-xirou* pow
er. He never did. He never will. If
[His power seem glorious to us. it is b
; cause that power is glorious. All that men
see is what llabakkuk calls "the biting o!
!His power." God does only what G.-d
J cannet leave undone.
Again : Our lien eel* Father dors di
rectly what Ho con do through others,
lie has begotten children in many respects
like Himself; like Htm in capability ol
knowing, feeling and acting ; like Him in
the per-ct freedom of their wills. He en
dow- them. He fire* them Bold. He
gives tit em time. They must do all the
rest, lie will never do for any man, in
any rutisect, what that man can do for him
self. He will never do for the race what
the race can do for itself. He give* wood,
and iron, and coal- iiui He never builds
a vessel, hammers out a boiler, adjusts
machinery, or raises a stone, lie never
constructs a locomotive, nor grade* and
lays a railway, lie might have turmsheo
Noah with a complete ocean steamer, but
He did not. He let tho patriarch ham
mer nwav at the ark through a century,
but He ouf furnish him with tho length,
the broadlh and the height, because there
was no skill in him to discover these, and
they could not ha known by the light oi
nature.
The Eternal Father could, in the very
beginning, have slocked the world witb
all the implement* of agriculture and
trade, with all the facilities for the moel
rapid and comfortable traveling, and the
instrument* for scientific research, and
have started His human family in house
keeping with everything complete at once.
Hut He did not. He put man down among
the great acts of Ged, the great facts of the
universe, the great laws of Ills government
with all necaasary physical, intellectual
and moral powers, and with due scope for
their exercise, and man was to produce the
result. God made the garden because
man cvfiU nof, and then set man to dress
the garden because Oud wuiti not. That
has been His way ever; and will be His
way for ever. It is mere fanaticism to do
or desire anything different from thia or
contrary thereunto.
Thit *atne rule obtain* in religion* end
spiritual man. We are laugh*, the lesson
ihal man * agency precede* God's work
ing, thai in the spiritual regeneration ol
men there it Aral the agency of their feU
' low-men doing all they can do. and then
the pewer of the mighty God doing what
man cannot do. Tne dead Laaarui U a
type of all our beloved one* who ara still
( "dead in trespasses and sins."' The voice
I of Jesulin Hit revivification repretenUthe
voice and power of God in regeneration.
Uul in the taivalion of men Gd decline*
to do what it i* possible for men to accom
plith. Hence we bare human agenciea,
mere moral instrumentalities, operating
for the con version of men from the error
of their wayt, beginning in them that ret
urrcction unto life which can be consum
mated only by the Spirit of God. lienc*
we have churches, sacraments, preaching,
printed book* Hence we have the oper
ation of the law of human influence, of
husbands and wives, parents andcbildren,
teachers and scholar*.
The Heavenly Father will not do for
our children, dear brethren, what wc
earthly parents can do. He will not exert
ilis omnipotence one particle toward
building up our Church in what we can do
ourselves He will not clean, and warm,
and ventilate the building, and sing the
hymot, and preach the sermons, and pay
the pastoral visits, and instruct the Sun
day-school. Because we tan do these
things, we nwl. He will not invite our
friends to go with us to church, and exert
over them the influence which we are
hound to exert. But when we have gone
to the end of our poor capabilities the
Heavenly Father will do all the rest. He
will not roll the stone from the mouth ol
the cave in which our dear brother lie*
dead, but He will stand at the mouth ol
the sepulchre and cry with the voice of
divine, almighty, revivifying power,
"Laxarus, come forth,"
It ii in view of this permanent law ol
the universe that 1 come to beseech you
as Christian men, who love your brethren,
dead though they be, to go with Jesus to
their grave, and consider the slona at tbc
inouth of their sepulchre : and while you
believe that Jesus it the Resurrection and
the Life, remember thet Ho expects you
to do what you can. and while He doe#
not say to you, "Bring your brethren to
life again,' He dot* say, "Take ye away
tbc stone."
SNYDER CO. MURDER
The readers ofthe Trihuno will reroem
bor the burning of the residence of the
KinUlers', two old Germans—man and
wife, in which the old people were burned
on the night of the 9th of December, 1877,
of foul play. The Kintelers resided in
Adams township, Snydor county.
The following is a brief synopsis of the
confession as made by Mary liartlay. It
may be a little imperfect as it was secured
under difficulties, but in the main it will be
found correct.
' The woman, Mary Hartly, accompanied
' Kttingor, a beau of bcra, for the purpose of
1 getting measured for a pair of shoe* at
> hrael Krb'a, who 1s a shoemaker; on the
' road tboy were evortaken by Moyor and
bi* wifo who wero alio going to Krb'a. A
little while before they reached Krb a
house they wero met by him, ho came out
ot the woods. Here they halted and after
talking a while, the men proposed to the
two women that they should remain there
in the woods while they would go to the
Kintxler's and see about something, giv
ing as a reason for leaving tho women be
hind that they had croat dogs. After tbo
men were gone soma time, tho women
heard a noise which sounded lika braaking
glass. The women became anxioua to
know shot was going on, so they ap
proached the house, bore tboy found Et
linger culling a hole into the door with a
double-bitted axe. After the hole
[been cut in tho door ho reached through
and unlocked the door. The men entered
the house and killed the two old people,
striking the old woman tirst with a club, i
killing ner and then aerving tho old man
In the same manner They then searched
lha bouia and found the money which the>
took nut on the writ ilile of the house
where lhay dividtd the money by the
light of tin moon, llcforo tbay loft the,
bout* they i*t it op fire, burning it to the
ground and the bodiea of thair victim*
wer* also eomplstsly destroyed. Wbeth
jar this story as narrated by the woman
llarlly, ran be aiUbliiban, yet reioaim t
l>o iren.
A TERRIBLE ADVENTURE WITH
A HUGE ULACKSNAKE.
Mr. N. O. Ilrody, a ciliaon of Robeson,l
Berks county, thus recounts in the Birds |
loro A-iiunr an adventure he had with
snake a few days ago :
"The snake raited right up out of tho
grass, and stood tailor than 1 am directly,
on Its tail, with ft* wide jaws expander!
and fang* darting from its throat like
streaks of lightning. It only look mo a
second to see all this, and if my hair did
not stand *quars on rod at lha moment I
hope never to stir again. In my fright I
had dropped my scythe, with which 1
might have slashed him through ; but for-!
tunately another idea camo to my mind at
U># moment, f had myself met these In-j
fernal critter* before, but not so large, and
I made a grab for the snake with my band.-
taking him directly below the head. 1
triad to epit in bit mouth, and had gath
ered together quite a good doee of tobacco
juice, but just a* 1 spat the snake made
one terrible jerk and dodges/ the spittle.
Next moment I felt him wrapping him
self around my leg* and then began a
struggle! Do you know that he pinched'
o light that 1 began to fear he was going
to cut through the flesh on my bones, and
ha clamped my legs together so tight tbat
they hart me. 1 held on to him with nil
my might so that he could not bite mo, 1
