" Stop,
..Thief;'?
The only answer vouchsafed the pub
lic b'Elwood Griest, late County Treas
urer, in newer to the accusations we
made against him, is the stale and-worn
out one adopted by thieves when hotly
-pursued, by raising the cry of "stop,
thief,"• in the-hope-that- their -pursuers
may be throWn• off' the scent.• , This thing
of raising a dust about what took place
twenty-five years ago, in the hope that
the. guilty parties of to-day may effect
their.eseape in the confusion and clamor
raised by themselves, will deceive no
one. We can inform the editor of'the
/itiniier that we•do not mean" to be di
verted from our purpose in exposing •the
rascality of those who Lave .introdneed
into . the Republican party of this county
a systein of thieving, which, if not stop ;
ped, and that speedily, will eventually de
stroy it. We accused you, Elwood Griest,
'with loaning over one hundred and' sixty
thousand dollars of 'the county funds to
Bair & Co., between the r7th day of Sep
tember, 1866, and December 26th, 1867,
fen: the use of 'which they paid you over
six hundred dollars, which rightfully be-•
longs to the county. (We might men
tion the hundred dollars which the Stras
burg Bank paid you, but we will confine
ourselves strictly to the testimony as ad
duced before the Grand Jury.) This
plain and direct charge you refuse to
meet, but dodge behind the finding of
your fellow thugs in the "Star Chamber."
We have not forgotten that when you
were.called before the County - Auditors,
a year ago, and asked to state, under oath,
whether you received any gain from the
deposits of .the county funds, you refused
to answer, under advice of your counsel,
lest you might criminate yourself. This
was wise on•your part, but indicated your
guilt. An examination into your ac
coats for 1567, we think will show that
the county was borrowing money at the
time you had county funds at the banks,
for which yomwere drawing interest.
We believe, also, that a scheme of
plunder was concocted by the corruprion
ist of Christiana,' and others, when you
were appointed Treasurer, (against the
wishes- of a large majority of the tax
payers of the county.) The Commission
ers
raised the taxes from three to fire
mills, for the sole purpose, as we believe,
in order to increase the emoluments of
the Treasurer.' Who' and how many
persons shared—with --Griest the gains
from an increase of- - taxation; we- do not
know. Mr. GI riest,you can not pod ! pod !
away the damning evidence of your guilt,
and we aton't mean to let you slink and
screen yourself in a " Star Chamber," be
hind-your fellow thugs ; we will arraign
you at the bar of public opinion, where
rs;3 can have a hearing, until you sing
peccav
The New County Again
We find that our project of erecting a
new county out of parts of Lancaster and
York is atleast eliciting discussion, which
is'all that the friends of any really meri
torious - scheme can desire. All we want
is that the matter be agitated—kept be
fore.the.rainds 'of the people most inter
ested— and finally they are bound to reach
just conelusk , rm. Our friend of the
Wrightsville Ski , - takes issue against the
scheme on the gr:ound of increased ex
pense, but his article, carried to its logi
cal and -legitimate conclusion, would do
away with the- erection of new counties
altogether, arid not only so; but destroy
the present dividing lines and merge all
the State into one - huge county,' to save ,
expense. But the real animus of his op
position shows itself in his candid admis
sion of the superior facilities enjoyed by
Columbia' for the conducting' of various
indilstrial pursuits, he fears that the con
solidation of Cohinabla and Wrightsville
into one corporation would inure to the
benefit of Columbia alone, and to the
con
sequent injury of Wrightsville, especially
if connected by a free bridge. Now we can
not see it in that light. That the increas
ed prosperity ofColumbia should produce
a correspoiading decrease in that of
Wrightsville is a 110 a seguitor, as a glance
at other ,places, relatively. similar in their
positions, will show. Das the increased
business of Pittsburg injured Allegheny
city? So fat: from it, Allegheny city is
indebted to, the. prestige -of_ Pittsburg for
her unprecedented increase in population
and Wealth: Her territory new sells for
as much per-one-hundred-square feet as
it brenght per aore•ten years ago, and all
Owing'to its proximity to Pittsburg mad
its facility of intercourse with her. Just
so would, it .be with Wrightsville; she
might not increase quite as rapidly as Co
lumbia, butler increase' in' wealth • and
population would Jacasjrnpid . in - proportion
to what it has been,in the past, or, what
it- would otherwise be,'as would be that
of Colunibia; and a free bridge would
tendvastly to equalize the rate of increase,
by making both towns more near and
more identical. Think the matter over
again, kegler Star.

- ALTILOUGII the editor of the Lancaster
hignirer : 49es,not see fit to deny the seri
ous charges made against him, he rushes
to the rescue ,of the County Commission
ers, and makes .the bold assertion that the
County'Auditers based their report upon:
insuffleientlestimony, as to the manner in
which the erection of bridges in the
-county - have - heretefore'been- let. • -From
their known character: Ibr integrity, we
are confident that full and complete testi
mony was elicted by them upon that very
point. By referring to the Inspectors'
port, in relation to the bridge across the
Conestoga, lnt the printers' paper mill, it
will be seen Ili:date Cotandssietiers paid
over six thousand dollars more than the
work was worth. Shall it be said that
there is no remedy for this scandalous
waste of the county money. ? Are, the
tax-payers, burdened as they are now, to
pass under the yoke; meekly bearing still
greater ones without a murmur? • It is
time, not only for the Ness to Speak, btit
the farmers, who bear the principal part
of our taxes, should at once take measures
to put a stop to this crime against them,
and. obtain indemnity from the Commis
sioners, theirs chosen servants, for their
wasteful expenditure of the public fundS,
in the past. If an example was "Made of
the guilty ones, it would have a , whole
soUMatid Salutary effect upon those whom
the people trust to distribute the funds
over which they have in charge : The
best and surest •and least expensive way
would be a united and determined effort
on the part of the people to wipe out, for
all time, that most infltmous and corrupt
of all known.organixations—"Thuggery."
So long as a vestige of it remains to pollute
society, its members will be moral fester
ing lepers upon ,the 'Republican party,
who, like vampires, will suck the life
blood outof it—and of the tax-payers like
wise.
.Editor
Wn are frequently asked why we "sail
into your friends so." Why we do not
distinguish betwedn members of our own
party and their opponents. We have to
answer : We hove no friends but honest
men, awl. thiy' ore all - our - frien(L;, of what
ever party. We never could lend ourself
to hide the knavery of others. Let a
man be honest and we are the most hum
ble advocate. Let him be a preteuder, a
hypocrite. a doughface,a political weather
cock or a rogue, and come in our way,
and he is certain to be told of his charac
ter, no matter what party he belongs to,
or where be came from, or how near he
professes to be to us personally.

Terrible }Disasters and Less of Life.
DAXIBITILY, Conn., Feb. I.—The most ter
rible disaster thet•ever occurred in Danbu
ry happened last night, destroying a 'num
ber of lives and much property. About
seven o'clock in the evening, the upper Ho
hanza dam, which supplies the borough
- with water, gave way, letting clown the
•water with such force us to carry away the
lower dam also.: The water of the two
dams thus let looso formed an irresistible
force, that curried away all before it. Flint's
dam, which was carried away by the flood
last summer, was again destroyed. Upper
Main street bridge was carried away ; also,
Bamforth avenue ainlWhlte;Screet bridges,
while Patch bridge and one at Lacy, Hoyt
and other streets were renderen almost im
passible. Housesand small buildings were
carried down stream and destroyed. Im
mense cakes of ice, with rocks, trees, Cc.,
were carried n great distance. A house in
the north of the town, occupied by the fata
lly of A. Clark, was carried away, with the
inmates. A man, his wife, and a boy were
all drowned. The wife :113C/child were found
in the stream near Myrtle avenue, and the
husband was picked up near Peck's ditch.
At the latter place the body of Miss Hum
pbrey was found, and near at band the
bodies of Mrs. Busted and Mrs. Charles
Andrews were recovered. Thus far, five
bodies have been found ; but as a number
of persons-are missing, it is feared they have
been drowned. It is supposed that twelve
or fifteen lives wero lost.

'A dressing fell is ht bride' agreeable, healthy
and effectual for preserving the hair. FADED
OR GRAY HAIR IS SOON RESTORED TO ITS ORI
GINAL COLOR AND THE GLOSS AND FRESHNESS
OF` YOUTH. Thin' hair is thickened, failing hair
Is checked, and baldness, often,,,thOugh not' al
ways, cured by its use. Not ea,n restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the
glands atrophied - and decayed.- Hut-such as re
main can be saved for usefulness by this appli
cation.- "Instead :of fouling the hair with - a - palsy
sediment, - it will keep it'clean anfiNigerous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair from turn
ing gray or falling, otl;and eonseguentlyprevent
baldness. Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some ureparatiOus danger
ous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm It. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing . else can be found so desirable. Con
taining neither oil nor dye,l t does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS !
FOP. ALL THE PUITOSEfi OF A LAXATIVE
MaMe
_ -
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, in
every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious
reasons for it is, that It is a more'relinble and far
more edectual remedy than any other. Thore
who have tried it; know that it cured them;
those who have not, know that it cures their
neighbors and friends, and all know that what
IL does once it does always—that it never fails
through any fault or neglect of its composition,
- We have thousands upon thousands of certifi
cates of their remarkahle cures of the following
complaints, but such cures are known in every
neighborhood, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all cli
mates; containing neither calomel or any de
leterious drug, they may be taken with safety
- by anyhody. 'Their - sugar coating preserves
them ever 'fresh end makes them pleasant to
take, while being purely vegetable no harm can.
arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera to purify the blood : and
stimulate it into healthy action—remove the ob
structions of the stomach, bowels, - liver, and
other organs of the body, restoring their irreg,u
lar action to health, and by correcting, where
ever they exist, such derangements as are the
first origin of disease.
Minute directions arc given in. the wrapper on
the box, for the following cromplaints, which
these Pt L.Ls rapidly cure.
For DYSPEPSIA 0 ON, LISTLESSNESS,
LA NO L'01; al Iti LOSS OF APPETITE, they should
be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach
and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Levine COMPLAINT and its various symp
toms, litt.mouS 13.R.A.D.Actin, SICK HEADACAE,
JAUNDICE or GEMEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC
and Btf.lo us Firvicus, they should, be J
taken for each Case, to correct the 'diseased no
tion or remove the obstructions which cause it.
For DV4ENTratr or DrAnnituiu, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For EUEIDIA.T.TSW, Lour, GRAVEL, PALPITA
TION OF TUE HEART, PAIN IN TIEBACK
and LOOS. they should be continuously taken,
as required, to change the diseased action of the
system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For MO:PSI and - DIMPSTOAL - Swzr.taxos, they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to
produce the ellbct of a drastic purge.
For SOPPUL:SSION a tinge dose should be taken
as it produces the de.,ired effect by sympathy.
As a HlN:smr. Pim., take one or two PILLS to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
Au oceasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels into healthy action, restores the ap
petite, and luvorates the system. Hence it is
often advantageous where no serious derange
ment exists. One who feels tolerably well,
often finds that a dose of these PILLS makes
him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing
and renovating effect en the digestive apparatus.
