Warren County FOR STATE TREASURER, HON. JOSEPH POWELL, OF Bradford County. Mrs Mary Lynch died in Scranton, Pa. on 9, at the age of one hundred and ten. She was born in sussex County, N. J, in March, 1774. Her father, Jacob Bun- sick; served in the revolution, and her husband, to whom she was married in 1800, was a soldier in 1812. Her parents were among the early settlers of New Jersey. Mrs. Lynch and family moved to Pennsylvania in 1840. Of her eight children four are living, the youngest being about seventy-five years old. Her faculties seemed unimpaired to the last, .— . The Philadc1phia Evening Bulletin says that it is not really for mem- bers of the cabinet to be in Washington only when Congress is in session.

Mr. Meek having been elected Chair- man of the Co, Com. for next year, which will be an important one politically, he will know how to make it lively. Democrats all over the state are pleas ed with the platform and nominees of the state convention. The same is true as regards our county ticket, Nellie Arthur, danghter of the Presi- dent, is pleasuring along the New Bng- land coast on a government vessel at U 8. expense. When Arthur and the cabinet get back from their long summer frolic and Sind that the government ran on all right, they may think they are not of so muéh account after all. Neither are they, If this legislature fails to pass an ap portionment we do not believe that the state has a right to representation in congress under the old apportionment. How that would make Republicans squirm and wish they had agreed to the fair thing! The general act passed by the legisla ture allowing courts to fix the pay of Sheriffs for boarding prisoners, at a sum not exceeding 50 cents per day, was ve- toed by Gov. Pattison.

It is earnestly desired that there be a full turn-out of all who have been subscribers to the road, for an interchange of opinion with reference to the wrong and injustice done by the Pennsylvania railroad company in forcibly collecting the stock, spoiling the lands and then leaving the road un- completed in violation of its sacred pled- ges to our citizens. If ever that great corporation was guilty of flagrant injus- tice against private individuals, this is it. The Penn'a railroad company is sim- ply called upon, after a decade of wrong, to fulfill its obligations. It is abundant- ly able to do so, and the course it has ta- ken in this regard is unbecoming the President and Board of Directors who all claim to be high-minded and honor- able men. Mf A ————————— The government is now run entirely by clerks at salaries from $1200 to $2000 per year. Hadn't we better do away with Presidents and cabinets and let the clerks run the machine altogether ? Then there would be no more presidential jun- ketings and summer cabinet sprees and a saving of several hundred thousands in salaries would result, - on The Democratic members of the legis- latue have decided to remain at their post until the Republicans concede terms that are, in a measure, equitable and somewhere in the range of right action, Their constituents will sustain them in The Republican Senators bulldoze, intimidate or coerce the Democratic members of that body to their unjust demands. this matter. cannot e———— — The | the legislature in- tend to stick until the Republicans agree to an honest apportionment, The Patriot of 15 says: The conference of democratic senators and representatives held in the state li- brary yesterday afternoon was in session three hours and was largely atiended. It was decided to stick until the duty for which the legislature had been called into extraordinary session had been per- formed. Theres was a general interchange of opinion, Uncle Jake Ziegler presid- ed. Biddle, Coxe and Hen- ninger advocated adjournment, but were entirely willing to remain if the confer. ence agreed to such a course of action, Senator Wallace counseled moderation and firmness. Senator Gordon spoke strongly in favor of standing by the call of the special session until the apportion- ment bills were passed. Representative Amerman favored a session continued until the snow fell and until it fell yet again before adjournment unles the sen- ate came down from its ultimatum and decided to legislate. The democratic house will therefore stick to the work before it. There ino wavering in the line, Democrats in Senators me mt ns The Huntingdon Monitor, speaking of the new judicial district, says: The bill which now is a law makes Centre and Huntingdon counties a judi- cial district and Judge Orvis, of Centre county, will be the President Judge of it until the expiration of his present term, about eighteen months from this time, Judge Orvis possesses judicial abilities of a high order, and we feel confident that he will preside over our courts in a way that will command the respect and ap- proval of the people. He will propably hold the coming August term of Court, and in behalf of the people of Hunting- don county, we welcome him as the President Judge of our new district. E nglish capitalists have for some time been largely investing in Amerien lands, which has called up some opposition in this country that has excited English landowners, as cabled from London. The newspapers contain long discus sions on the subject. The excitement was started by despatches from New York, giving the history of the recent secret meeting of the American National Legue on Coney Island. These telegrams stated that the League had appointed secret committees egmposed of first-class title lawyers, to ascertain exactly how many titles to land in the United States are held by persons who remain foreign subjects, and report the names and pos sessions to the League. The ground which will be taken by the agitators, it is understood, will be that British influ. eace is already too great in American af- fairs; that this influence shows a natural tendency to anglicize the land laws and landlordism in the American Union; that this influence ought to be checked; that if British aliens are allowed to ac- quire American estate, there will be a steady growth of English influence in American legislation, which may ulti. mately prove inconvenient,” if not dan- gerous to the foreign relations in the en ———————— United States. It will also be pointed out that in proportion as the opprtuni- ties for investment are greater in the United States than they have been in Ireland, will the evils of the non resi- dent landlordism be more onerous and exasperating to the citizens of the Amer- ican Republic than they have ever been to the people of Ireland. The questionable policy of allowing the tottering aristocracy of a foreign na- tion to reinvigorate itself at the Ameri- can expense and of permitting the land- lords of England to bolster up and per- petuate the cause of Great Britian by al- lowing them to drain London of the profits of valuable buildings in Ameri- ca, will be dwelt apon at length. It that the National League in America are well informed, well organ- ized and thoroughly determined in their proposed new movement, and it cannot be concealed that the threatened agita- tion is looked upon with dismay by a very large number of the great landown- ers of England. -» Su» AND LEMON THE RING. Jaily and Lemon, chiefs of the treasury ring, have had an unwelcome task im- posed upon them by the Humes law. They have the state's millions deposited where they will do the moet good for the ring and it goes awfully sgainst their grain to draw out only a postion ; at a time, so as not to shock the banks, They are as merciful as the negro who he a short tailed dog, but feared that cutting the whole tail off would be too great a shock to the dog, and therefore cut an inch off once a month, Baily and Lemon would be first rate surgeons to dock the tails of dogs, but they are a bad breed of public officers. sgecins BAILY CHIEFS OF - There arc few, if any, county weeklies, that furnish the same amount of reading matter as does the RerorTRr, who pay their subscription in advance receive an extra credit of 2 months as a premium.

The Eminent Jurist Pe asses Awoy al his Home in York. York, Pa., Aug. 19.—This community was shocked this morning by the sad news of the death of Judge J. 8. Black, and all day his many friends could te recognized by their rad faces seen on the streets. His life and services to his par- ty and conntry have been the one theme of conversation here to-day, The whole eommunity mourns his death, Jodge Black was {aken seriously ill this day one week, but his physicians had bopes of his recovery until yesterday at noon, when he was taken suddenly worse, and from that time sank rapidly, dying at two o'clock this morning. Ail his family were at his bedside except Mrs, Clayton, his daughter, wife of Colonel Clayton, who 18 on government daty in the west, He died in an unconscious state, His trouble was stricture of neck of the blad- der, occasioned by an unusually enlarged prostate gland, producing complete oc- clusion which had stubborply resisted the ordinary appliances, His father was of Beoteh descent and his mother Penn. gylvania German stock, Previous to his unconscious state, among his last remarks were that he thoug ghig that he had more work 10 do in the world but was perfects ly resigned to the will of God, showing his belief in that Supreme Seing who judges the quick and the dead. Hie fo- neral services will take place from his late residence at five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. His remains will be in terred at Prospect Hili cemetery near this place where he bas a family lot, Dr. Powers of the Christian church of Wash- ington has been summosed and will probably officiate. Jodge Black died peacefully. From the beginning of his illness he believed that be would never recover and was perfectly resigned. Shortly before Judge Black died he ssid to his wife: “How can I fear to cross the dark river when my Father waits for me on the other shore?” and added: “Would I were as comfortable abost all I leave behind unfinished in this world,” and then breathed the following earnest prayer: “0 Thou beloved and most merciful heavenly Father, irom whom I had my being and in whom I have ever trusted, if it be Thy will grant that my suffering end and that I speedily be cali- ed home to Thee, and O! bless and com- fort thee my Mary.” - TWELVE MINERS KILLED. London, Augost 15. —~While thirteen men were being hauled to the surface at a mine near the town of Relath, Corn- wall, to-day, the rope attached to the car in which they were standing broke.

On Saturday mora- ing last the child, while at breakfast, was suddenly taken with spasms while en- deavoring to drink coffee, and though the best of medical skill was brought to bear upon the case she continued to sul- fer until Sanday morning when death came to her relief. The bite was over the right eye and was a very triflingone. incl fin stoi DEFEAT OF THE ANNAMITES, luformation bas been received in Paris from the Governor of Cochin China that on the 19th of July Colonel Badens, with 500 men, made a sortie from Nam Dinn. Seven guns were captured and 1,000 An- pamites were killed. Eleven Freoch- men only were put hors de combat, The Loodon Standard gives additions] par tic ulars from its correspondent at Hong Kong, who saya:—"For the past two mopths the garrison at Nam Dinn has been shut in by theenemy, and the place has closely been invested, A sortie was resolved upon, and on the 19 was carried into effect. One half of garrison were embarked on board a junk, in which they railed down the canal without bes ing vbserved. Ry this manooavre they got into the enemy's rear. The nex; morning they attacked the Annnamites, who, taken by surprise, were unable to offer any resistance. The scene that en- saed was terrible. The terror stricken Annamites fled in the greatest disorder, which soon became a wild route. Over a thousand of them were thot down by the French. MAS 102TY. THREE HORSES BURNED.

LORD I AWRENCE, A story of him was worth recording as an in. stance of his lofty dealing and good influence upon inferior minds, During the conduct of some important canse for a young Indian Rajah, the Prince endeavored to place in his hands, under the table, a bag of rupees. He answered at once: * ** Young man, you have offered to an Englishman the greatest insult which he could possibly receive, This time, in consideration of your youth, I excuse it. Let me warn you by this ex. perience never again to commit so gross an offense against an English gentleman.” Many of them would never forget the moral effect upon themselves of his inde. fatigable, untiring industry, so long as health and eyesight were left to him-his profound contempt for the idle, lounging, loitering habits, in which so much of human existence is expended and destroyed. Any |. one who saw him felt at onoo that his pres. ence had a certain majestic dignity and as sured repose, which made us feel confident that in his presence, and in whatever emer. genoy, we were perfectly safe. He was not only a leader of men, but a leader on whom those sudden weaknesses and betrayeds by man race have difased about them a sense not of security, but of mistrust. — Chow ~All OW set their low prices trade, and ther is Ww comes in for them.
