GROWTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND
NEW YOils.
Mr. Fernon, of Philadelphia, in a re
ent article on raiirosds, refers to the in.
crease of growth of Pennsylvania as com
pared with New York since 1880, and
maintains the latter State has passed its
season of phenomenal growth, Above
Harlem river it isscarcely better off than
the New England States in respect to its
prospects for increase of populstion.
Pennsylvania, on the contrary, hesa
great future before it. In evidence of this
Mr. Fernon points to the many new rail-
roads in progress of constranction and the
much larger number of rai round project
en. In coal lands, 100, particularly in the
bitaminious coal regions, there have
been large investments within a twelve
month. There is pleuty of room for in
crease of population in Penosylvania.
With the mingle exception of Allegheny,
not a eounty, west of the Susquehanna
contains 100.000 inhabitants. Indeed, but
six of the fifty conuties of the Sate can
boast of that much population, while in
the great majority of the couaties the
population is yet very sparse. Pennsyl-
vania is not only a large producer of
coal, and iron and oil, but of corn, wheat,
tobacco and lumber. From the facts and
figures which he finds at hand, Mr. Fer-
non predicts that Pennsylvania, in the
early part of the coming century, will
pass by New York and take the head of
the column as the most populous State
in the Union.

THE NEW PENSION ACT.
The following circular has been issued
by the commissioner of pensions and
approved by the secretary of the interior:
The following regulations are prescrib.
ed for the purpose of carrying into effect,
as speedily as possible, the provisions of
the act of congress, approve March 8, 1883
increasing to 830 per month the pensions
of those who have lost a leg at or above
the knees, or arm st or above the elbow
and of those who have been so disable as
to be incapacitated for performing any
mannal labor, but not so mach so as to re.
quire regular personal aid and attendance
who are receiving a pension at the rote
of $24 per month, and to $24 per month
the pensions of thse who have lost one
hand, or one foot or been totally or per.
manently disabled in the same, or other.
wise 89 disabled as to render their ine
capacity 10 perform manual labor eqoiv
alent to the loss of a hand or foot, and
now receiving $18 per month. Inasmuch
as the said act has immediate effect upon
such admitted casa as have been adjadi-
cated at the rate of $24 and 818 per month
respectively, no formal application by the
beneficiary is necessary to be made other
than to forwerd to the commissioner of
pensions the pension certifivare, accom.
panied by a letter stating in the hand

postoffice address. As soon as possible
after the re eipt of the pension cert fleate

The intervention of an agent or attorney
in such admitted cases as are affected by
this act, being unnecessary, will not be
recognized.

THE FUNERAL OF URIAH MOYER,
On i'riday the 9th inst, cccurred the
funeral of Uriah Moyer who was hanged
in the county jail yard, at Middleburg!
on Wednesday, March 7, for the killing
ofthe Kintzlers over five years ago. Sev.
eral hundred people of the neighborhood
and from a distance assembled st the res.
idence, of his mother in Adams township
t» witness, the burial, Revs, Spangler and
Edmonds were the officiating clergymen,
At 10 o'cleck, a. m., service commenced
by singing a German bymn and prayer.
Rev. Spangler made an address of about
fifteen minutes length, followed by Rev.
Edmouds who delivered an address
which contained more vindictive abuse
ot and malice toward certain individuals,
and lame excuses for the murderer, than
merit and condempation for evildoers.
After bis address, the casket containing
the remains was placed upon chairs out-
side the house and viewed by all who bad
a desire to see him and theo taken to the
grave prepared for them, besides that of
his brother Jonathan near the mill, where
he spent the days of his childhood Free-

ISRAEL ERB'S CASE.
The case of Israel Erb, the last living
actor in the Kintzler tragedy, in Snyder
county, was before the board of pardons,
on Tuesday, 20. A letter from Middle-
burg last week states that Erb calmly
awaits developments; His companions
in the lonely cell chamber are a Bible, a
few German books and a canary bird.
He has nothing to say since the confes-
sion of Uriah Moyer beyond the observa-
tion that it was what he expected. The
jail warden found the old man in tears
the other evening, and in answer to a
question he simply said—"1 am weary.”
He spoke the words in German—'ich
bin mued.” Erb is growing paler and
more restless, He takes the situation
very hard but does not say so.
Before the pardoa board on Tuesday
Hon. A H. Dill argued with much emo-
tion for the life of the old man, He tried
to impress strongly upon the board that
Mary Hartley, the principal witness, was
not to be believed, while the confessions
of the Moyers and Ettinger should be
given great consideration. When asked
by Mr. Cassidy if Mary Hartly bad a mo-
tive in briogiug the men to justice, Mr.
Dill said he did not know of any. C. C.
Hower, Esq, for the commonwealth, op-
posed the application for a pardon. Ho
neld that the statement of Mary Hartley
was to be believed, and had been fully
corroborated ; that the four men were
guilty, Erb being the leader; and that
the executed men bad lied when they
made the confessions they did,
Mr. Smith, for the condemned man,
followed Mr. Hower, and in the course
of his argument he said that a statement
had been made by Ellen Moyer, wife of
Jona han Moyer, just before her death
in which she said she was not at Kintz-
lers, as claimed by Mary Hartley, when
the murder was committed. Attorney
General Cassidy asked if the statement
was on file and a reply in the negaiive
being received, the board concluded to
grant fifteen days’ time in which to allow
it or any other papers in connection with
the case to be presented. The case was
therefore postponed until April 4.

GLEANINGS,
The Maryland Agricultural College
wants more students, and has sent out
word that the demand for gmaduates iu
agriculture is much greater than the
supply and that there are many paying
situations that can be filled only by
graduates of agricultural colleges.
A Philadelphia bird fancier says:
“You can tame a canary inside of six
hours by depriving it of food for that
length of time, and then patting your
hand fiilled with seed into the cage.
Repeat this at intervals, and the bird
will soon become tame enough to fly
you whistle for it.”
The Medical News, after giving two
or three recent instances of death under
chloroform, says “the danger of tooth-
drawing under chloroform anmsthesia
being so pronounced and so readily ex-
plained, we hold that no physician is
Justified in running such risks.”
One of the new Judges in Wisconsin
found on opening court that he had
been attorney upon one side of the oth-
er in thirty-five of the cases on the cal-
endar before him. He will find it neces-
sary to “‘exchange,” in the ministerial
sense, with some of his brother Judges
for spme time to come.
bilt driving his fast team. the other day,
whipped out his pencil and made this
calculation: “Horses, $50,000: sleich,
8300; harness, $200: sealskin coat and
cap, 8800; fur lap-robe, 830;
£16; Vanderbilt, 100,000,000."
Bridesburg, a suburb of Philadelphia,
has a plague of cats. Farmers on the
way to the city from Bucks county have
been in the habit for years of dropping
their supernumerary felines in the vicini-
ty of Bridesburg, and this, with the nat-
tural increase of the cat population, has
made sleep im pos sible to the
tants of the place.
One of our best and most cautious
tific journals, basing pl 1
upon the report of the American Consul
at La Rochelle regarding the use made
in France of German alcohol taken from
potatoes, which is doctored to resemble
brandy in color and flavor, says that “it
is at least worth the physician's while
to know that there is
Cognae brandy.”
A prospector informs a Nevada
that at a point on the Humboldt
there are hundreds of fossil tracks simi-
lar to those at the Nevada state prison,
Mand in many instances much larger.
There are tracks of cloven feet ten or
fifteen feet in length, and bird-like
tracks without number. Jesides these
there are large three-corned impressions
in the sandstone, as if made
foot animal of some sort, and numervus
smaller tracks.
