Monday forenoon, the 11th Inst. The
deceased was born in Jacksonville, Le
I high county, on June 3rd, 1819, his par
ents belne Henry Lone and Macdalena.
a' born Harmony, who died about fifteen
ears aeoata very nno old aeo: they
town, ra., at tuo ago or twenty years.
The deceased received his education In
tho country schools which were then
meagre, (three or four months during
uio winter season or cacn year), rjut.
possessing energy and perseverance, he
soon mastered tne tjranencstnen taugnt,
and having an aim for mercantile busi
ness, he used to help during the winter
season in nis uncle's store, tnis nc uiu
for several years, working on the farm
during the summer. At the age of about
10 years ho entered his uncle's store per
manently, as a clerk. Being faithful
and strictly honest In this capacity, as
well as In all his dealings, his uncle con
cluded to open a storo In West Pcnn
township, (now Skier's P. O.,) and
sometime In the year 1837, deceased be
ing 18 years old, he was given charge of
this store; being obliging and courteous
he soon had a host of friends, at the
sarn.e time building up a largo and profit
able business for his employer. Somo
years later his uncle offered to sell out
to him, but having no funds, save a few
hundred dollars scraped together by
strict economy, he was at a loss to know
how he could pay for a stock, probably
worth two thousand dollars, but his
uncle having Implicit confidence In him
offered to sell him the stock on credit,
paying for It In his own time ; having
this offered to him he concluded to risk
on his own account.
Having launched his frail bark he
determined to succeed, working hard
early and late, carrying tho produce, ho
took In for store goods, himself to Sum
mit Hill, and In a few years he found
himself free from debt and with a nice
stock on hand. This business he very
successfully carried on for a number of
years.
un the 12th of May. 1840. he was
married to Louisa Arner, a daughter of
tho late nenry Arner, of Mahoning
Township. In later years a co-partnership
was formed with his brother-in-law,
tho late Tllghman Arner, trading under
tho firm of Arner & Long, when two
stores were opened, four miles apart.
This partnership was dissolved by mutual
consent several years later, deceased
continuing with the West Pcnn store.
Later on lie began to take an active part
In politics, and in the year 1859 he was
elected to the State Legislature, and re
elected in 1S03.
In 1607-08 he closed out his business
in West Pcnn and Mahonine Township.
and removed to Lchichton, and aeain
engaged In the mercantile business for
a number of years.
inibi2iic was elected a uciceatcto
the State Constitutional Convention, In
the deliberations of which body he took
an active part. lie also held many
offices of local Importance, such as
assessor of taxes, president of school
board, chief burgess, etc.
witn an excellent constitution, mured
to toll In early life and preserved by
regular habits and strict sobriety, he was
a useful citizen, he was a member of the
Lutheran church and a faithful believer
In Its doctrine.
On Monday forenoon having occasion
to go down town he stopped at different
places, and, always being of a social
nature, he had chatted with cmltc a num
ber of those whom he met, and feeling
comparatively well, lie started for his
home, reaching it about 11:45. His wife
was out, having just gone to his son's
three doors below and on her return,
entering the yard by tho alley, she saw
his prostrate form lying on the board
walk In the rear of his residence, hurry
ing to him and lifting his head, his face
being all blue, changing to a yellow, she
lounu no sign ot me, terribly shocked

tho house and Dr. norrl sent for, who
arrived promptly and after an examina
tion pronounced life extinct and the
causo of his death apoplexy. He could
not have laid there, when found, at the
longest more than three minutes, death
no doubt was Instantaneous.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
sons to mourn tho sudden loss of a be
loved husband and father. Deceased
was a kind neighbor and a warm friend,
and his absence upon our streets will
be long mourned by his host of friends.

mourn her early departure. Last Janu
ary she performed her last service In the
Sunday school, and ever since then un
til the time of her death she was under
medical treatment; but the best of medi
cal aid and the most faithful nursing
could not avert the steady progress of
the fell disease, she was, however, re
signed to her condition and in her quiet
spirit no murmuring or complaint ever
escaped her Hps; she comforted her al
most heart broken parents with the
thought that they would meet again to
part no more. On Saturday evening,
May 0th, her spirit rose with tho clouds
to tho noon of glory and her sufferings
were over forever; her last words were:
"All is glorious, I am going home."

"Jobson," a correspondent, nsks us the
following question: A is tho landlord
of a hotel, and lets a room In his house
to a party of gentlemen who use tho
room as a gambling "den." Is the
landlord of said hotel liable to arrest
under the law for allowing such a place
pn hli premises, or is he not responsible
forwhat is done in that room after It is
rented to parties as above?
if the landlord of said hotel Is cogni
zant of the fact that the room Is used As
a gambling place, he Is most decidedly,
under the law, liable to the penalties for
maintaining a gambling house. Ed.

So far-we have heard of no movement
on tho part of our Borough Council to
ward the appointment of a Board of
Health. Why the council do not move
in this matter we do not understand.
They certainly- know of tho terrible
scourge prevailing at Plymouth and also
the breaking out of a similar epidemic
in South Bethlehem, and yet they fold
their hands and take no heed for the
preservation of tho health of ourpcoplc.
They could vote several hundred dollars
to dig down Lehigh street hill last year
a work entirely unnecessary but not
ouo cent for cleaning out, draining and
purifying the "stinking ditch" and
swamp along tho Lehigh Valley railroad I
Gentlemen, members of the council, It
is your bounden duty to appoint a Board
of Health at this time, and adopt strong
sanitary measures. Will you do it?
oun STREETS.
During the past two weeks our Super
visor has, with a gang of men and boys,
been busily engaged working on our
streets. AY hilst we urgo and heartily
approvo of the Improvement of our
thoroughafares wo, with a large major
ity, object to tho cleaning out of gutters
and grading the streets with the filth
taken therefrom. The filth which ac
cumulates In tho gutters, especially
along Bank street, should be carted
awrfy by all means, and not thrown out
on to the streets, where, as Uio sun
strikes it. it sends forth a terrible ma
larial poison. Our council should not
enforce such rlcid dconomv whero the
health and Interest of our people Is con-
cerneu ; many may leei Ulsposed to blame

at f ault.bcing appointed by the council ho
must act accordln" to their orders. Year
after year, tis regular as clock work, our
streets demand a thorough ovcr-haullug,

bo to the Interest of every taxpayer in
this borough' if our council.would order
the streets to-be graded and properly at
tended to, and thus do away with
the ntccsslty.of repairing every year and
the running up of a large bill for expen

Jargesttaspayers In town recently, he
lpformocl us thatthere.was "not another

paid such immense taxes aud.hacl so few
