and thimbles, was her constant com panion. "The needle book, Millie," she said faintly, "look in the needle-book." "But, grandmamma, the leaves are all sewed together." "Cut them open, child; but be careful. I'm going to give that nee dle-book to you, Millie. It was one I bought when you was a wee baby. All my treasures belong to you, child." Frank Blakesley* stood looking over his wife's shoulder as she obey ed the old lady's behest, deftly pass ing the scissors' points between the flannel leaves, scalloped and embroi dered, and faded silks which had once boasted all the colors of the rainbow. Suddenly he uttered an exclamation and in the same instant Millie dropped the scissors. "Grandmamma, there is money here—sewed to the inside of each leaf— hundred-pound notes. Grandmamma Kirke smiled se renely. "How man} - , Millicent?" "Ten, grandmamma." "Yes, yes, I thought so," said the old lady, nodding her head. "It's all right. Take them, Frank, and spend them as 3*oll and Millie please; they are old grandmamma's gift!" "A thousand pounds! Oh, grand mamma,,' cried Millie, with a long breath, "3 T ou never told me this!" "Because I wanted you to depend on j'ourscif, my girl; but I alwa}*s meant it for 3'ou. Now leave me in quiet a little while, I want to sleep." And half an hour afterwards grand mamma Kirke died. ''lt's a precious bore," said Mr. j Charles Clare when the strange story | reached his ears as, of course, it was not long in doing. "Blakesley al- ■ ways seems to have all the luck. If! I'd known about the thousand pounds I don't know that I should have ob jected to the old lady." But grandmamma Kirke's money was better invested in Frank Blake sley than Charley Clare. Millicent did not regret her choice. DEATH OF AN AGED WOMAN. —The Dunkirk Journal announces the death 1 in Gerry, Cliatauqua Co., recently, J of Mrs. Susan Woods, aged 100 years 8 months and 22 days.

WHO DISCOVERED AMERICA?— Here is an item of news from the Madison, Wis., Journal , of recent date, that will upset the histories now iu common use, as it disposes ot both Columbus' and Americus Vespucius' claims to the discovery of this country: The Journal says that Ole Bull, Prof. R. B. Anderson, of the Wisconsin University, Sena tor J. A. Johnson and other promi nent Norwegians, are raising money to buihf a monument to Leif Erik son. The first-named gentleman has already given some concerts and will give a few more before leaving for Norway, the entire proceeds to lie devoted to the monument fund. Prof. Anderson, a linguist, thorough ly versed in Scandinavian literature, is to lecture for the benefit of the fund. The total amount to lie raised is ? 10,000. The monument is to be built in Madison and dedicated with great ceremony on the hundredth an niversary of American independence. Ole Bull, Bjornson, the famous Nor wegian author and poet, and other celebrities will lie present on the oc casion, together with such a host of enthusiastic Norwegians from this and adjoining States, as were never lie fore seen together outside the bor ders of Norway. Leif Erikson, whose name is to lie inscribed upon this monument, was a bold naviga tor, who discovered America in the year 1000.

IT SEEMS Brigham Young, some time not long since, had a revelation that down in the territory of Arizona was a region flowing with -milk and honey which the Saints could walk into and possess. Straightway he fitted out an expedition and sent it off to make discoveries. They reached the locality indicated and tried their best to make the Prophet's vision good, but facts were against them and the honey and milk could not be found. They have now re turned to Salt Lake City* evidently disgusted with Brigham and doubt ing the inspiration of his revelations. There seems to be no further re move for the Saints. They must fight it out where they are, and the result does not appear to be doubt ful even to them. Not long since Brigham preached a sermon for the benefit of the dis affected wives of Mormondom. lie tol l them he was going to set all of his wives free, divorce them all even to the first wife, and then such as wanted to leave could pack their duds and go for he was tired and worn out with their whining. But if they chose to remain then they should stay and be peaceable and live the whole of their religion. A part would not do, they must take the whole dose. He then advised all of the brethren to follow his example, set their wives free and let them go if they chose to. lie did not want to hear any more complaints. We apprehend if this course is really taken the possibility of pos sessing the whole of a husband in stead of a part will cause heavy flut tering of Mormon calico in the camps of the miners and the ranches of the gentile farmers. SEVERAL of the democratic papers, seemingly incited thereto by the ex ample of the New York Herald, are discussing the fearful consequences that would follow the election of President Grant to a third term, and under the head of "Caesarism," are telling the people of Grant's proclivi ties to usurp power, and of the ten dency of the present state of things to centralize the force of govern ment. They assume that it is already contemplated by his political Iricuds that he shall again be re-elected. It seems to us that they are setting up a man of straw with which to amuse their leisure hours. However, if they like it we have no objections; but it is amusing to see what horrified looks they put on as they view their monster and then with what gusto they knock it over. This is certainly quite as honest as fabricating marvelous stories about the President's horses, and equipages, and bull pups, and far more gentlemanly than printing per verted reports of every action and movement of the President, s daugh ter, Miss Nellie Grant. OIR little village has reason to be very grateful for the bestowal on it of the Court House clock.

This beautiful adornment of the human figure gets terribly abused. So much is said lately of people wearing that which does not belong to them that Ave can safely let that subject alone. What Ave cry out against, is the torture and disfigure ment to which that which is kind enough to groAv 011 our heads is 1 sometimes subjected. Children usu | ally have fine, soft hair and even Avhen uncombed and tangled it lias some wild beauty. You long to ' get hold of it, to part it and brush it and see how softly it will lie o\'er broAV and neck. But some sacreligious persons lay hands on a young girl's hair that might be a crown of beauty, and at the bidding of merciless fashion, strain it all straight back and up to the crown of her head and tie it there, leaving it to hang in switch or braid —an utter disfigurement. Our boys fare little better, of course we do not know what they may come to; but what is the use of anticipating the worst, and making them as convicts or lunatics before their time. It is cruel, for it cannot be remedied. A poor little fellow has to wait for his hair to grow be fore he can be relieved from the in fliction.

THE New York Herald notices the fact that there are now fifteen nar row gauge railways in operation in the United States, having 700 miles of track and there are no less than 120 organizations and 1250 miles! under process of construction. These roads have been planned and con structed within the last two years. The cost through a level country is about SIO,OOO a mile, including a fair equipment of rolling stock, while the 4 foot 8£ inch gauge costs from $35,000 to $ 45,00 per mile. In the West, where the traffic is not large, the narrow gauge road pays better on the amount of money invested than does the wider gauge. CAMERON AND BLAINE. A special dispatch from Washing ton to the Chicago 'Tribune says:— "Senator Cameron, of Pennsyl vania, has declared himself, in a con versation with a leading politicion of the State, in favor of General Grant for a third term. Cameron's great anxiety seems to lie to defeat Speaker Blaine for the Presidency, lie is against Blaine, because, as he assserts, he is a freetrader, although born and raised in Pennsylvania. But this is not the strongest objec tion of the Pennsylvania Senator to Blaine. Cameron never forgets an injury. He says Blaine forfeited all claims to his support when he appointed Mr. Dawes, of Massachu setts, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. Dawes, it will l>c remembered, was the gentleman who introduced the resolution of censure upon Gen. Cameron, as Secretary of War, calling upon President Lincoln to remove him. For the last ten years Cameron has been laboring to have that resolution expunged from the records of the House of Repre sentatives, but in vain. lie asserts that if he lives he will carry Pennsyl vania against Blaine on this ac count." We do not believe a word of this. Speaker Blaine is not recognized as a candidate for the Presidency; more over we know that he is not u a free trader," and that his views on pro tection are not unacceptable to Sena tor Cameron or to Pennsylvania. On all occasions, as the key to every political manoeuvre, we have the same rehash of the story of Senator Cameron's desire to have u tho reso lution of censure expunged from the records, &e." If Senator Cameron has not been thoroughly vindicated from the passage and effect of that resolution of censure, all the expung ing that can l>e done by the House of Representatives will never relieve him. He has been twice since elect ed to the Senate, the last time with out the slightest opposition. He has been placed at the head of the Com mittee of Foreign Relations, in the room of Charles Sumner, a position of the very highest character and a world-wide exhibition of the confi dence reposed in him by bis col leagues and his Government. More over, his policy as Secretary ot \\ ar has, by the lapse of time and events, been fully justified. It is universally conceded that he is the onl\" man connected with the Government at the beginning of the Rebellion who thoroughly comprehended the mag nitude of the struggle and made pre parations commensurate with its real sco|K? and character. IV hat he could 1 desire more, we are at a loss to con ceive. The resolution of censure is a forgotton incident of the past—his position, services ami honors are liv ing facts of the present. The first is 'never dug up from the musty arch i ives of Congress, but in an attempt I to disparage him, while the latter, i always existing, will secure to him i and to his memory for all time, the respect and remembrance of' his fel lowmen. We have no special admiration for Senator Cameron and have never been among the number of his adhe rents. But AVC despise and condemn tiie promiscuous denunciation and abuse constantly heaped upon him, and are Avilling to recognize his real ly great qualities and the truly valu able services he has rendered his country. We feel assured that the action and motives ascribed to him, in the special dispatch to which we haA-e alluded, arc utterly without foundation.— Pittsburg Eran ing Tele graph. TIIE indications are that there will he three tickets submitted to the vo ters of Schuylkill county the coming fall, the Labor Reform party mani testing a determination to enter the field again. On Tuesday the stand ing committee held a meeting at Pottsville, at which the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, Reports have been circu lated that the labor reformers would not nominate a ticket this fall; there fore, Resolved, That we will not aban don the field, but will use every legit imate effort to inaugurate a vigo rous campaign,believing the labor re form principles to be best calculated to secure the welfare of the people of our country. John Siney, President of the Min ers' and Laborers' Benevolent Asso ciation, is opposed to the nomination of a ticket and thinks there are other matters to consider just now of more vital importance to the workingmen's interests. ISN'T there just a little laxity in the manner of selecting Southern of ficials, by the general government? Major Eli as Uriswold, of rebel prison fame, has been appointed a special agent of the Post-office department. Tim Savannah (Ga.,) Advertiser , has this to say of him: The notorious Capt. Wirtz was a sergeant under Griswold and carried out his orders, and we know from actual experience of his treatment of Federal and Union prisoners, that if Wirlz deserved hanging Capt. Gris ivold should have been hung by hie side. 11 is brutal orders and still more brutal treatment of the sick, deserve some other reward than Fed eral appointment to oflice. If Southerners must be appointed, let it be those who fought honorably during the war. Those who tortured Union prisoners deserve no favor. TIIE State of New York is proposing to set apart nearly a million acres of land in the region of the Adirondacks for a State Park. This idea of large parks under the control of the State or National government seems to be gaining favor. The general govern ment, we believe, has set apart the Yellow Stone region as a great Na tional Park. It is said to contain some of the most interesting won ders of nature to be fouud in the world, though it has not yet been fully explored. The region that is proposed to be thus appropriated by our neighbor ing State is heavily timbered and ' abounds in small lakes and mountain streams, tilled with fish, while the woods are full of game of various kinds. It is a well-established fact that the clearing of a country of its tim ber causes material changes in its climatic conditions, one of which is that the fall of rain is materially les sened, while tornadoes and eccentric storms become more frequent. The West is rapidly turning its at tention to planting large tracts of forest trees, not wholly to raise tim ber for ordinary purposes but as a means of influencing those condi tions, and the question arises that it might be wise for every section of the East to preserve at least a few large tracts of their timber. THE mail arrangements 011 the line of the I>. X. Y. & P. R. R. instead of improving, are growing beautifully worse.

It is not about time for the old fogies of the Post Office Depart ment to bestir themselves? We are required to pay postage 011 our ox changes and as country editors who depend upon our city exchanges for general news we have a right to de mand of the Department a reasonably speedy transmission of our mails. The Buffalo papers arc now from two to three days old when they reach us, whereas by proper management we should receive the morning pa pers by noon of the day of publica tion. There is but one side to this question.— Emporium Independent. IMPORTANT RAILWAY DECISION.— The opinion of Judge SharsAvood, of the Supreme Court, in the case of Beale against the Penna. R. R., is one of great interest to the public as well as to the railroad companies. The ease in the lower court was brought by the widow and heirs of Thomas Beale to recover damages for his killing by the railroad com pany, at a crossing in the village of Patterson. Mr. Beale was driving across the railroad track in a Avagon drawn by one horse, and Avas struck and killed by the Fast Line east. On the trial, counsel requested Judge Buelier to say to the jury, as a mat ter of law, that as the uncoutroverted testimony showed that as the unfortu nate man killed did not stop before driving 011 the track, there could be no recovery. The Judge tohl the jury this Avas the law, hut left it to tiiein to find whether the approach of the train could have been seen by Beale, and instructed them, if it could not h.iAe been seen, tiny might find a verdict for the plaintiffs. This the jury did and the company took the ; case to the Supreme Court Judge SharsAvood, in settling the law, says: " There rever was a more impor tant principle settled than that the fact of the failure to stop immediate ly before crossing a railroad track is not merely evidence of negligence for the jury but negligence per sc. and a question for the Court. It was important, not as much to rail road companies as to the traveling public. Collisions of this character have often resulted in the loss of hundreds of valuable lives—of pas sengers on trains—and they will do so again if travelers crossing rail roads are not taught their simple duty, not only to themselves but to others. * * The Judge should, upon the uncontradicted evidence, have directed a verdict for the defen dants." The Supreme Court further decide that the "duty of stopping is more manifest where an approaching train cannot be seen or heard than where it can." We hope the above will be a warn ing to our fast young men who are in the habit of racing their horses over the Main Street crossing of the J. S., P. C. & B. It. W., in this Bo rough. It is very certain that if they came to a full stop they could not see the train coming. From tlie Buffalo Express. The Buffalo, New "Zork and Phila delphia Railway. At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the Buffalo, New York A Philadelphia Railway action was taken upon the subject of issuing new bonds ol' the road to the amount of $1,000,000 for the purpose of more fully equipping the road to meet the demands of its rap idly-increasing traffic, in pursuance to the action the following circular was issued by the Secretary, which fully ex plains itself: SECY, AND TREAS'S. OFFICE, J BUFFALO, X. Y. A PHILA. R. W., > BUFFALO, July 5, 1873. ) DEAI: SIII: Owing to the large in crease of traffic on the line of this rail way, and the constantly-increasing de mand for rolling stock and equipment to meet the wants of its own business, it has been decided, as will be seen from the accompanying unanimous action of the Board of Directors, to issue a five twenty ten per cent, second mortgage l>ond in order to obtain money for the successful development and operation of this great and important feeder to the interests of Buffalo and vicinity. The Board of Directors have further ordered that these bonds be sold at par and accrued interest from July 1, 1873, and that persons subscribing tlierefor lie allowed the option of paying for the same in four equal monthly instalments, the first payment to be made on the Ist | day of August, 1873, with accrued in ! terest, or lull amount at the time of | subscription, as they may desire. The subscription books will be oiiened Mon ! day next, the 7th inst., and may be found at the following places, viz.: Manufacturers and Traders' Bank. Marine Bank. Bank of Buffalo. Fanners and Mechanics' Bank. First X'ational Bank. Third X'ational Bank. White's Bank. German Bank. New York and Erie Bank. Bank of Attica. Or at this office (No. 62. Exchange St.) Yours, very respectfully, 11. L. LYMAN, Treasurer. Ever since the completion of the Buf falo. New York & Philadelphia Railway the difficulty of supplying the demands of its patrons with sufficient rapidity to satisfy them and the business interests of Buffalo, and the fruitful region thro' which the road runs, lias been the only concern of the managers. This difficul ty has been constantly increasing until it was found necessary to the life of trade and permanent interests of the road to provide means for the immedi ate reduction, if not the complete sur mounting, of this difficulty. Knowing these demands came from the men whose interests and needs were co-ex istent with those of the road itself, the Company issue the above circular to them, and they look to Buffalo invest ors, who hold the great probation of interest in the line and its success, to show their loyalty to those interests and to secure to themselves the glory and the gain of providing for this most promising contingency. These bonds are of the denominations of SSOO, SIOOO and SSOOO, in all to the amount of $1,000,000. All liear date on the first day of July, 1873, and are made payable on the first day of July, 1893, thus having twenty years to run. But thfy company reserve the right to pay them at any time after the first five years from date, at the office .of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, in the City of New York. The bonds bear interest at ten (10) per cent, iter annum, payable at the same place semi-annually, and the payment of the principal and interest is secured by a second mortgage of even date with the bonds ujioii the 121 miles of road, and all the other pro perty, real and personal, acquired or to be acquired, aud all its rights, privi leges and franchises, income and reve nues, issued and delivered to the Farm ers' Loan and Trust Company, in trust for the equal benefit of the holders of these bonds. Should the action of the Board of Di rector's in this matter require any justi fication or argument to convince the uninformed, or enhance the confidt nee of those who know of the workings of the road, they may be found for any reasonable mind in the following state ments of facts: The Buffalo, Niw York & Philadel phia Railway passes through a rich farming, mining and lumbering district whose products, since it; opening, have liov. td in a steady stream to Buffalo as the main point of consumption. The route is through an almost new section, so far as development is a sign of age, and the already immense products are on a rapid and steady increase. For the transfer of these products in tins direction there is no means but the Buf falo, New York & Philadelphia Rail way, who are able to furnish so far only 400 cars for this purpose, a number as has been proved to their surprise wliol- The Company lr.vc ordered to lie, made immediately, by the Buffalo Car Company, 100 additional ears, but these are necessary every day for local traffic alone. One great branch of the traffic on the road —the anthracite coal car riage—requires the running of 200 to 300 cars in its interest, while the rapid ! increase in the mining business demands ! the immediate provision of JOO more, lit is believed that even that numberj ; would be insufficient before the expira j tiou of three months, so immense have J become the demands for coal from this point. The Cameron Coal Company, at Emporium, can load from 1-50 to 200 j more cars daily with their bituminous, ! coal, and is anxious to make contracts ; with the Buffalo, New York & Phila delphia Railway Company to carry all ; their products to market. In this branch | of the business a hundred cars would ■ pay for themselves in less than six 1 months after their completion. The items of-lumber and bark form no inconsiderable part of the freight on ! the road, and are increasing far lieyond : the wildest estimate. K0 more freight ; cars are needed for bringing these use j ful products to Buffalo, when the de | uiand will even more than equal the j supply. Of iierhaps greater importance to Buffalo is the facility of shipping cattle which this road offers, or rather which it will offer when the necessary cars are provided. It is claimed that shippers will save much valuable time j and expense of feeding, as well as the labor and expense of handling, by send j ing their stock east by this route. Iso many of our dealers have already elis ! covered this that they require 20 cars daily for the transportation of their bo vines, and would gladly make use of | more could more be furnished them; the Company lias prepared yards for the accommodation of these shippers on their property in the eastern part of the | city, while in the coal interest it has | built 700 feet of dockage and will in | crease the same to 1200 feet at the ear ' iiest period possible. All this goes to show that the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railway | Company are in a dilemma, hut a most , interesting and wholesome dilemma it is, and one which Buffalo can well af • ford to assist in overcoming. Really the outlook could be no more i; cheering than it now is to the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railway. - More prosperity than she knows what ; to do with is a blessing she little ex ■ pected, and the division she has decided to make of her too rapid accessions will only make her more popular and pros | perous, and those who assist in the i pinch the richer in the pocket for their j investment. Of the facilities and advantages of this road for the carriage of passengers little need be said. By its connections travelers go through to Philadelphia without change, and to Baltimore, Washington, and other southern points, with only one change at Harrisburg. The route to Philadelphia is 24 miles shorter than any other from " and is made with a saving of and thirty minutes over any ,>tl„ Pullman palace cars are run and every convenience provide \' comfort and safety of passcm. rs , of the provisions for the salty ■ seugers already 011 one throng b and soon to be added to all trail,* Westinghouse air-brake, mciits with which the Prees reports with the followsr ' The brake stops a train ru". from 32 to 45 miles jier hour ; < ten to sixteen seconds of time, :u !,i from 318 to oi l feet distance; th t ■ er distance and lowest number • onds being for the greatest vd.
