TUFSDA? EVENING, JULY 31, 1883.
CeBSIItstleaal CeastrnctlOB.
The judiciary apportionment b'tf
received just the number of vote
necessary te pass it in the Senate. It
had Republican and Democratic support
and Republicans and Democrats voted
against it. Among these supporting it
were geed lawyers, and it is te be pre
sumed that they had faith in the consti
tutionality of all its previsions ; which
leads us te say that a constitution that
can have its plain injunction sediversely
construed by intelligent legislators
is net of very great value as a
restricting force upon them. That
constitution of ours is as clearly
expressed as constitutions 'generally can
hope te be made ; yet the governor
during this session has net been able te
read it with the eyes of the Legislature
and has repeatedly vetoed its bills be
cause of their unconstitutionality. Hew
this present measure will strike him we
will net venture te say, because the cer
respondents declare that he intends
approving it. If he does he will neces
sadly endorse its constitutionality.
In our judgment it is net in
accord with the constitution ; but
in view of the contrary expres
siens et opinion en this subject
it is necessary te concede that it is
one ,upon which two opinions may be
held. The governor will have the con
elusions of Democratic members of the
Legislature te sustain him, whatever side
he takes, and can give the construction
of the constitution an entirely non
partisan consideration. In his position
he will have te bear the brunt of the
criticism which his conclusions and
arguments will receive from the public,
and we hope that he will be able te make
them sound and s lid. If he can dis
cover hew a county may be made
a judicial district when it has less than
40,000 population he will get ever the
plainest stumbling block in the way of
finding this legislative apportionment te
be constitutional ; and if the thing can
be done we shall be glad te see its dem
onstratieii, as it would be an interesting
feat of words and figures. These instru
mentalities can be made te de a geed
deal in skilful hands, we knew, but
there must be a vast deal of color blind
ness in an audience which will permit
itself te be persuaded that white is black.
The reason which the correspondents
give for their belief that the governor
will approve the judicial apportionment
is that he desires te have some fruit te
show for the extra session ; but such
very peer fruit as a judiciary bill which
adds a half dozen judges te the already
tee numerous corps, aud makes districts
as the constitution never intended them
te be made, had better be left ungath
ered ; it will net pay te take h home, we
fear.
An Unreliable Land.
Ischia is a land te be forever hereafter
avoided, one would think. Certainly no
residence mere unsatisfactory could be
conceived than one where the land sub
sides under the feet, and topples its
buildings ever. Seemingly, however,
people can get used te even this state et
affairs. Ischia has been known te be an
unreliable land, and has before new
suffered from earthquakes. But they
de net come every year and the inhabi
tants have demonstrated that they are
willing te take the risks. But this time
the catastrophe is se appalling that
it will take a very courageous man
te cling te his Ischia fig trees.
It may, however, be possible that
earthquakes may be enjoyed by some
people. Certainly earthquake countries
are net generally deserted when their
peculiar unreliability has demonstrated
itself. There may lie a pleasurable ex
citement in expecting te be swallowed
up at some uncertain period in the dis
tant future. Or earthquake lands may
have some compensating advantages net
elsewhere found ; just as the ague dis
tricts along the Carolina coast are cher
ished by the inhabitants, because, as one
of them told us once, when you have the
ague you de net have any ether disease.
Ischia may be a particularly healthy
country when the earthquakes are net
around, and if the average mortality for
a hundred 3 ears is net high, a residence
in this unstable land may be logically
defended. Upen the whole, however, we
prefer a country where death and burial
are net simultaneous. Such a method
f final disposition is tee unceremonious
e be agreeable te the average taste.
TnE various aud variegated statesmen
of Indiana seem te be doing their level
best te destroy whatever influence as a
state they might unitedly command in
the Democratic presidential convention
of next year. Scarcely had the McDon
ald boom get fairly started, sweeping
across the prairie of Indiana and threat
ening adjoining states, when Mr. Hen
drick's proclaimed the convalescence of
his tee and the rejuvenation of the old
ticket. And new arises the tall sycamore
of the Wabash te excite a suspicion that
he is after the presidential nomination.
Mr. Helman has scarcely begun te be
mentioned as a premising candidate
before it is announced that " Landers
is j ust waiting for his scalp.' ' Altogether
things are net lovely. Statesmen and
presidential timbar like corn grew rank
in Indiana. The crop is tee abundant
te be duly appreciated. And, by the way,
it was this sort of business that lest the
Democrats Indiana last fall. Mr.
McDonald and Mr. Hendricks and Mr.
English had a kiud of a monkey and
parrot time all through the campaign,
and but ferthat even Dersey's benificeut
shower of two hundred thousand two
dollar bills would net have availed te
carry the state against the Democrats.
They have been keeping it up ever since.
The New Yerk and Ohie Democracy
show signs of greater prudence and mere
disposition te harmony. In Pennsylvania
the red lines are erased and fractional
spirit has been quieted. The Democracy
here having carried their state lastiall
are preparing te de it again ; they will
participate in making a presidential
nomination after that. There will be
time enough.
Seme of our conmperaties seem te
think that tbel2&ELidIxcEB'$jp tbel2&ELidIxcEB'$jp
preval of the action eV the Democratic
state chairman is sjmply the approval of
the chairman himself.' If they wilt rec rec
eilect that he is associate editor and net
editor of the Intelligence!, they will
see a difference.
A growing jealousy is said te exist
among plumbers owing te the high sala
ries paid te baseball players.
Jehsev justice has received another
striking exemplification. Twe of the
scoundrels who assaulted an Orange bank
cashier in a car in Hoboken, ea Saturday,
with intent te rob him of a satchel con
taiaing a large sum of money, were
yesterday sentenced te ten years' im
prisonment in the Jersey penitentiary.
The jury that convicted Polk must new
hide their diminished heads.
Tub fate of Carey, the informer, will be
tb.3 subject of but little regret. The con
duct of his associates in the PbeQsnix
park murder, het headed Irishmen with
mere bleed than brains, was despicable
enough, but it almost gains dignity when
compared with Carey's deep dyed betrayal
of his companions in crime. Though it is
te be regretted that he did net die by pre
cess of law, yet being equally if net mere
guilty than his fellow conspirators, it was
right that he should be called upon te
suffer the sarae penalty.
Fashionable circles in New Yerk aud
Washington are about te transplant from
England te this country a novel method,
as timely as it is sensible, of determining
the antecedents and general standing of
all these who desire an intredurt''i te
geed society. The person in trod u .i . a
stranger must be prepared te sum-' 1.
necessary information concerning him, his
character, family and general eligibility.
These facts, together with the source from
whichthcy are derived.are furnished te each
member of the particular set, se that all
may be well acquainted with the previous
history of him who seeks Jheir acquaint
ance. This is a step in the right direction.
Same precautions should be taken te pre.
tct our daughters and sisters from the
wiles of adventurers, who when possessed
of a pleasiug address, often succeed in
penetrating the inner sanctuaries of the
best society.
Seme discussion having ariseu some
months age concerning the statement of a
naval officer that Admiral Farragut was
net lashed or tied te the rigging while
directing the movements of the fleet dur
ing the engagement in Mobile harbor, as
pictured in William Page's famous paint
ing, the artist asserts that his authority
for the conception was none ether than
the admiral himself. The latter visited
Page's studio frequently while the piuture
was in course of preparation, and in com
pliance with the artist's request dotailed
his actual position during the conflict. His
intention in ascending the rigging was
that he might be in a better situation te
give orders te the men belew. While in
this elevateed position he noticed a piece
of shell stiike a few feet above his head
and cut away a portion of the maintop,
beneath which he was btanding, with his
feet resting en the rope ladder. Thinking
that if killed his body would roll over
board aud be lest, he obtained a piece of
rope and lashed himself te the shrouds,
where he remained calmly issuing his
orders during the whole of that memerable
engagement. This plain tale should
S3rve te put at rest all doubts concerning
the historical accuracy of the painting, and
at the same time silence the iconoclasts
who would destroy oue of the most pic
turesque, as well as dramaticsituatiens in
the naval history of the war.
FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS,
The best way te distribute the surplus
revenue of the country, in the opinion of
the Norristown Register, is net te collect it.
The Easten Express asks for a larger
liberty for the small boy as being mere
conducive te his physical as well as men
tal expansion.
The Philadelphia Times thinks the ex
pected encyclical letter of the pope against
marital laxity will be productive of much
geed in the moral world and that it can
not come tee seen.
The preposition that the debts of states
whose bends are depreciated shall be
guaranteed by the general government
excites the righteous indignation of the
Lancaster New Era.
The Philadelphia Recerd adepts the
opinion that the Saviour used the Greek
tongue, and no' the Hebrew, in his dis
courses, the former being the popular
language of Palestine in the time of
Christ.
There is a general call, says the Phila
delphia Evening Telegraph, for information
concerning the relation between Jehn
Stewart's latest attitude towards the
apportionment and his independent pro
fessions of last year.
The Philadelphia Chronicle-Herald is
out of patience with the Republican legis
lators who persist in refusing te justly
apportion the state, and calls upon the
Democrats te adjourn, letting the respon
sibility remain where it is new fixed.
In the opinion of the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, the Republicans of
Ohie have enough te carry without should
ering the additional odium that must
attach te the invention or retailing petty
personal slanders about a man like Judge
Headley.
The Pittsburgh Times concludes that in
view of the unpopularity that attached te
the Dukes jury, few citizens of Fayette
county will care te sit in judgment en
James Nutt, Dukes' slayer ; and that at
all events, the jury will be governed
mere by sentiment than reason in their
decision.

People Killed.
The hospitals are crowded with the
wounded and dying victims of the earth
quake en the island of Ischia, near Naples,
Italy. Thn dead houses and sheds adjoin
ing are filled with corpses. People arriv
ing at Naples from the ill-fated cities
describe the scenes as terrible. On all
sides can be seen partially buried, persons
crying for help, while thousands who have
friends missing are scouring through the
ruins in search of them. The latest reports
put the number of dead at four thousand,
with one thousand mere wounded. Beats
from the island filled with dead bodies are
arriving there constantly. One beat
brought the bodies of twenty-four infants.
There were very few English visitors en
the island at the time of the disaster.
Nene of the special dispatches mention
American names among the killed or in
jured. The municipal authorities of Naples are
sending relief te the island and are doing
all in their power te alleviate the distress
of the people. Fifty w oedeu huts will be
built immediately for the accommodation
of the survivors. A few persons were
taken from the ruins alive last evening.
Eight hundred mere troops went te the
scene of the disaster last night. A do de
tachment of sappers has been sent te the
scene of the disaster te assist in rescuing
people who have been buried but are
still alive. But rive houses remain stand
ing at Cassamicciela. Cries for help
can be heard coming from the ruins.
Ot the foreigners at Casamicciela only
these were saved who were at the theatre
en Saturday night. Survivors say they
were obliged te pass Saturday night in
absolute darkness without dariug te move,
even te assist tbo3e calling for help bo be
neath the ruins. There is new little hope
that many of the latter can ba rescued
alive. Three soldiers searching for vie
tima were fatally injured. Subscriptions
have been opened throughout Italy ler
the relief of the distressed.
Survivors say that thirty seven persons
were entombed in a ream in the Hetel
Piccola Sentinclla. Count Zargardi, after
three hours' exhausting labor, rescued
eleven persons, but failed te accomplish
the principal object of his ctTerts, the
saving of his sister. The play at the
theatre en Saturday night was a burles
que, which opened with a scene represent
ing an earthquake.
It is new stated as certain that four
thousand persons perished. The stench
from the dead bodies of human beings and
animals is almost unbearable. Several
men and women were rescued from the
ruins en Monday morning. Many mere
might have been saved if a larger lerce of
rescuers had been available earlier. Many
persons who heard groaning during the
night were dead before they could be
reached and carried te places of safety.
Professer Falma'e Death.
Professer Luigi Palma, who is said te
be one of the victims of the earthquake at
Ischia. was an Italian writer of merit and
industry. He was born in Atri in 1814
The University of Bologna conferred upon
him the diploma of professor, and for
sixteen years he taught at the academy at
Bari. In collaboration with ether writers
he was the author of " Dizionarie Idco Idce Idco

THE SUCNKeF T11K SLACUHTER.
A Famous Kesert Which In In the Centre of
the KarttiquuHe one.
Cassamicciela, the scene of the last ter
rible slaughter by an earthquake, has been
a watering place and summer resort for
two thousand years. It was celebrated for
its baths long before the opening of the
Christian era, having been deserted iu the
year 474 B. C. by its inhabitants because
of an eruption of the volcano Epomee,
which has been quiet and harmless since
the year 1302. The freedom from volcanic
eiuptiens was purchased at the expense of
increased damage from earthquakes. It
is situated en the island of Ischia, fifteen
miles westward from Naples, and is
reached by sailing down the bay. The
population of the island is less than thirty
thousand, of whom something mere than
four thousand are residents of Casamicci Casamicci
ola, which is the town of third im
portance en the island It is far
therest te the westward en the island, but
this is compensated for by the posses
sion of a fiqe harbor, which has made it
the lauding place for travelers. The town
lies at the feet of the quiescent volcano
and is built en soil formed from the many
eruptions of past ages. The island lies
almost in the centre of the earthquake
zone of the Eastern world, which is sub
ject te these internal convulsions at all
times. Casamicciela has suffered severely
many times before this, though never se
seriously as upon the present occasion. It
was almost entirely destroyed in February,
1828, the shock only continuing three
seconds The next and most serious visi
tation nntil the present one was in March,
1831, when a shock lasting seven seconds,
accompanied by a noise like subterranean
thunder, visited the town, destroying 300
houses and leaving 400 people killed or
injured.
A FATAL. JOKB.
James Connerton Takes Laudanum
Alarm His Wife and Dies.
te
James Connerton, aged thirty-three
years, living at the southwest corner of
Fifth and Poplar streets, Philadelphia,
killed himself Monday by taking lauda
num. He went te L. P. Reiman's drug
store, en the opposite corner, about 0
o'clock in the morning. He was apparent
ly in the best of moods and cracked a
joke with the drug clerk as he asked
for ten cents' worth of the poison, hand,
ing him a tumbler te put it in. When he
reached the hallway of his residence he
swallowed the laudanum, and, going into
the liquor saloon en the lower fleer, he
had the glass partly filled with whisky,
making the remark that he had just had a
geed drink of something else. Going up
stairs no told his wife that be had just
taken a dose of laudanum. She ran te
Dr. Gruel, at 903 North Fifth street, and
told him what had occurred.
When the physician arrived he found
Connerton lying en the bed, but without
any visible signs of illness. When asked
why he had taken the poison he replied
with a laugh: "I only did it te frighten
my wife ; that little dose would net kill
me As the potion contained only two
grains of opium, being half strength laud
anum, the doctor did net consider the
matter serious, and instructed Mrs. Con
nerton te give her husband two or three
cupfulls of strong black coffee and walk
him up and down the room. After
the physician laffc, however, Con
nerton refused te get up, and
had te be moved by force. He crew
worse, and shortly after neon, Dr. Gruel
net being home, several ether physicians
were called in, bat their efforts were un
successful, and the man died at 2 o'clock.
Te the last he insisted that he had only
beea trying te play a joke en bis wife by
frightening her. He was a driver for
Leuis Wettenberg, piekle dealer, at 21
Seuth Second street. His employee said
Connerton was always a diligent and steady
workman. He and his wife have, as far
I as the outside world knows, lived happily
together and had no quarrels.

English Impressions en the Death of capt.
Webb.
Londen dispatch te Uosten Glebe.
The professional swimmers of Londen
have organized a series of performances
for the benefit of the widow of Captain
Webb. The Londen press, en the first re
ceipt of the news of Webb's drowning,
bitterly denounced the American specula
tors and railways who, it alleged, had in
duced Webb te undertake a task which he
could net comprehend, but which they
must have known was fatal, for the mean
motive of making money out of the excur
sion they calculated would be get up te
witness the scene. The Londen papers
based their denunciation upon the story
thev had te the effect that a combination
of Yankee speculators had agreed te give
Webb $10,000 for undertaking te swim.
Officials of some of the railroads hap
pening te be in Londen, at once made
a public denial of the bonus story, and
the papers which printtd it have re
tracted and new call Webb a feel,
and say he must have besome deranged be
fore he undertook, for remuneration even,
a struggle with Niagara The common
people were proud of Webb, particularly
because of his success in swimming across
the channel, and they have made many
manifestations of their grief for the less of
the man whom they regarded as the finest
development of an English athlete. At
the Crystal Palace last night there was a
grand exhibition of fireworks which had
been long in preparation. The whole
audience hissed the fire-picture of
Niagara Falls because it didn't contain a
portrait of Webb. Murphy, the Preston
butcher, who has often challenged Webb,
and who had always contended that Webb
would never succeed in breasting the
Niagara whirlpool, has also met with a
death'similar te that which overtook the
captain. Murphy en mere than ene oc
casion challenged Webb te dare with him
the Pebble whirlpool. Murphy undertook
te swim this fearful peel en the very day
Webb attempted the Niagara, aud was
drowned.

The Chinese still persist in maintaining

Special dispatches te the Londen papers

Tonquin en the 19th inst., when 1,000 of
the enemy were killed, was made from
Nampinh, and net from Hanei, as stated
in the report sent from Tonquin te the
French ministry of marine. The Stand
ard's correspondent at Heng Keng says
that the success of the sortie was due te
the fact that half the garrison was secretly
conveyed in junks and took the enemy in
the rear by surprise.

MOBUEK
Hew Clews Waled Are tfatd te
Point te
Harvey, Uie Suctde.
Renewed interest has been awakeaed in
Norristown and the surrounding country
in the mvsterioes asarder of Samuel Clug Clug
sten, at Valley Ferge, by an investigation
the police are pursuing. The authorities
claim te be iu the possession of clews
pointing te Alfred Harvey, the recent
suicide, as the CiuQBten murderer. The
coat, vest, bat, overcoat and shoes left
behind in Clugsten's beuse en the fatal
night in March, 1881, and whieh are kept
in Alburtsen's bank for safe keeping, form
the material upon which the revival of this
celebrated case hinges. It is believed that
the clethinar could be identified as having
been worn by Harvey previous te the
Clugsten murder, or by a boarder in his
house who is new in Pittsburgh.
One gentleman of prominence considers
the clews of great importance. The cloth
ing, he says, has been almost completely
identified by men who worked with Har
vey at the Star glass works. Among the
articles dropped by the murderer was a
photograph of a little girl, marked with
the name "Mrs. Jenes" and the address of
a house en Lafayette Btreet. At the time
the Pinkerton detectives weie unable te find
any such person in Norristown and the ad
dress was supposed te be Lafayette street,
Baltimore. It has since been found, the
gentleman says, that there was a woman
of the name en Lafayette Btreet, Norris
town, whom the detectives failed te find.
She is no longer in the borough, but it is
said that the photograph is an excellent
likencss of a girl en Lafayette street.
It is also said that the coat belenged te
a glass worker who bearded with Harvey
at the time of the murder, and that Har
vey borrowed it a few days before the
crime was committed.
A pawn ticket for a watch, dropped by
the murderer, is said te have been taken
for a watch, which can be traced te the
possession of Harvey, about nine days be
fore the murder. Chief of Police Roden Reden
baugh is very lukewarm and reticent about
the new clews, and says that the identifi
catien of the clothing has net been any
mere complete than ou former occasions,
when it was supposed te have been
identified as that et Jehn Spellman. The
clothing has been shown te Mrs. Harvey,
and says that neither her husband nor any
of his boarders ever owned such a coat as
the one shown her. It is claimed that the
English aceent of Harvey would have led
te bis detection long age.
THK DIAMOND.
The Games Flayed and te be Flayed.
Te morrow afternoon the Hunters, of
Pittsburgh, play the Ironsides en their
grounds. The Hunters are said te be a
strong nine, and the following dispatch te
the Harrisburg Patriot from Yerk, con
cerning the game there yesterday, does net
dispel the impression : "The Hunter
club, of Pittsburgh, played a game of
base ball with the Yerk eity nine. A large
crowd was present. The Hunters played
a fine game in the field and did some
wondrous batting, being blanked in only
two innings. The home nine did little
hittine against the effective pitching and
were demoralized in the field by the heavy
batting of the visitors." The dispatch
gives the score as 24 te 2 in favor et the
Hunters.

U. S. Tobicce Journal
A mid summer lethargy reigued in our
market this week. With the exception of
a reported sale of 600 ewes of the memor
able '81 New Yerk Big Flats, transactions
were small both in number and size. The
cigarmakets' lockout has, of course, help
ed te decrease the business in leaf, and an
offer et tobacco te any of the cembatting
manufacturers meets with smiles of deri
sion. Nevertheless, the tone of the mar
ket is excellent. Helders of '82 Pennsyl
vania have the utmost confidence of find
ing a paying market in the near future,
while the few lucky holders of '82 Wis
consin are swimming in a sea of joy. Fhe
'83 Ohie is sure te realize a profit te the
packers owing te itscheapuesa and general
geed appearance. Iu quarters where '82
New Yerk state was invested in faces are
sembre, while in these where '83 Connec
ticut is piled up in masses, courage is
kept up with difficulty only. Still,
who can tell bur. what '82 Connecticut will
suddenly become the pride of holders?
Only a few months age the '82 Wisconsin
was declared te be wholly unfit for cigar
manufacturing purpe es. A large New
Yerk cigar manufacturing firm that bought
it iu the field, rejected it, under all sorts
of pretexts, and afterward this very
firm went into the market and eagerly
bought 2,000 cases of it from a packer.
And everybody else buys it, tee, shout
ing its praise te the skies Either pack
era of tobacco in general are ignorant of
the intrinsic merits of tobacco, or tobacco
after it has left the field is subject te
changes by unoenlrolable freaks of nature.
The fortunate buyers of tha '82 Wisconsin
claim the tobacco te have beeu bad when
in the barns ; but their experienced eye
detected certaiu peculiaritie iu the leaf,
which, they knew, would iu season turn
it into fine and profitable stock. Our ad
miration is somewhat preveuted from be
coming boundless by the faet that most of
these wise and sagacious paeple invested
largely in '82 Pennsylvania.
Sumatra, also, is suffering from the lull
in our trade. It sells at present only when
offered at moderate figures. Here and
there we hear of limited transactions at
prices near te $1 50, but regular quota
tions Monday are from $1 te $1.25. Single
bales of extra fine, of course, command a
fancy figure.
The sales of the week were :
Pennsylvania Crep '82200 cases, at
17 j cents.
Crep '81180 cases, at 11 J te 13 cents.
Wisconsin Crep '82 400 cases, 9 te 13

Seed Leaf Dealers in cigar leaf of all
grades are net at the present time crowded
with trade " Toe het for exertion" is the
general cry, but the truth is, buyers are
net buying heavily, but confine their pur
chases te just what they need for imme
diate use. As yet prices of all grades aud
crops held steady and firm, and render
satisfaction te buyer and seller. The '81
Pennsylvania daily shows convincing signs
of approval, both in color and burning
qualities, hence it is making admirers
last.
Sumatra sells in such quantities as need
ed for immediate use at a small advance.

Tne Lecal Tobacco Market.
The most important event among tebac
co men this week was the great nail storm
of Saturday, which destroyed or damaged
thousands of acres of growing tobacco,
particulars of which were printed
in Monday's Uaily Intelligencer.
Very few additional facts have come
te hand, except that the list of names of
sufferers by tne hail is becoming longer
and longer. James B Frev. city. loses 2
acres ; JehnR. Bitner, city, 2 acres ; Jehn
Sener, Pequea, 21 acres ; Levi Sener,
Peuqua, 8 acres; Simen Rsssler, East
Lampeter, 4 acres ; Peter B. Jehns, East
Lampeter, 2 acres ; Jehn Ulmer, 5 acres ;
Jospeh Fogle, Sadsbury, 7 acres ; Gee. D.
Lefevre, West Lampeter, 7 acres ; Abra
ham Li9amen, d acres. Hundreds of ethers
have had losses ranging from 1 te 10 acres.
The growing crop that escaped the belts
of hail bas been doing well during the
past week. A few early mops have been.
cut off and housed A large proportion of
tne crop nas been topped, but a very con
siderable part of that which was planted
late is net far enough advanced for top
ping. Many farmers whene plants were cut te
pieces by the hail, have stripped off the
shattered leaves and cut off the stem a few
inehes from the ground be as te eive the
plant a chance te send out a second crop of
leaves.
A correspondent from the vicinity of
Oak Hill states that the crops in the
southern townships which escaped the
hail is very fine. The acreage in that
vicinity is almost as large as it was last year,
a lew early planted lets nave been out en,
and are reported te be very large, and en
tirely free from insect injury. Especial
mention is made of Mr. Lynch's four acres
in Little Britain, the crop en the Tally
farm near Oak Hill, aud also that of Robt.
Scott, grown by Gibsen and Carter.
During the past week from 300 te 400
eases of '81 leaf have been sold by local
packers. Mr. Heffman, of Maytown, has
Beld te Mr. Pretzfield, of New Yerk, his
packing of 500 cases of '82 and several
smaller packings of this much admired
crop have been taken. The only sale of
loose tobacco of the crop of '83 that is
worth nothing in the two acres grown by
Levi Landis, of Intercourse, who received
for it 25 cents through.

Abraham Buzzard, a member of the
Welsh mountain family, escaped from our
prison in May, 1882, while B9rving a ten
years term of imprisonment and although
there is a standing reward for him he has
never been caught. If the officers want
te knew any thing concerning him they
may gat some "pointers" from this local.
He bas been in the neighborhood of the
Welsh mountains and Ephrata for some
time past, and during hay making
