THE body of. Young VANDEAHARE, who
was drowned in the river just belqw` this
place last November, was found floating
in the Susquehanna in Lancaster County,
in February. The Lancaster Examiner
and

concerning it :
Mr. William Vandermark,' of To.
wanda, writes: to the Eraininir and
Express to describe the clothes. and gen-.
cral features of the unknown man found
drowned in the Susquehanna river, near
Washington borough, iii.the early part of
last month. Mr. Vandermark states that
his brother was drowned 'near Towanda
on the 27th of last November, while raft
ing. He also stags that over two hun
dred dollars have already been expended
to find his body, but thus far without
avail. He was twenty-two years of age,
and had a scar on his right cheek: • .
This fact was stated to Deputy Coroner
Martiti-at Washington borough, and be
reports that the body found in the river
was so much debomposed that no scar
was nottedable. Hessupposed the deceas
ed was twenty-two years old, heavybuilt,
clean-shaven face ; ho wore dark woolen
pants, brown overalls and gingham shirt,
and was coatless. On -his person were
found five keys for chest locks, etc., and
a pair of kip' boots. These facts were
communicated to Towanda, •and from
there we learn that the body found in . the
Susqueluma, at Washington borough, is
no doubt that of Charlie Vandermark,
who was drowned about one mile below
Towanda, last November, while propel

to advertising :
.
There is A:great lack of knowledge
among people generally uPtin the best
means of advertising. An advertisement
to be otpiactieal - value must be • printed
where it \rill be seen, and also where the
pet sons who see it are likely to desire and
be able to buy what is - described-to - them,
If every merchant could ascertain 'what
persons are; lemrof his goods, his best ad
•vertiseniet4 would be a circular mailed' to
their address. No merchant can, howev
er,-Obtain this information, and he must
therefore seek to discover by what man
ner of publication he will be most likely
to tiring his wares to the attention of pos
sible purchasers. It isjcpnceded that the
best means- of dole,Vis-• through , the
newspapers, which make their' way alike
Into the counting Louse, the Workshop
and the family circle, are read ou street
cars, railway cars and steamboats, and,
in fact, address then.selves to all , classes
and conditions of people. 'The daily news
paper that has once-secured a large gen
eral circulation And a' tracts to 'itself -the
announcements of a fair representation of
the community in the different branches
of-wholesale and retail traffic; :serves as
the-most effectual channel of communica
tion between the Layer and seller, and
becomes in one sense an exchange in
which they mean to conduct transactions.
It is a very great mistake to suppose that.
readers are generally content with the
news departments of the papers and leave
the advert:sing . colutnns unperus&l. On
the contrary, the reader who sits down- to
thoroughly dig;..- his newspaper i
..,,,ex
ceedingly apt to post himself up i the
advertisements : and even if this weti olit,
so, the fact remains that wlijn a persdh
wants to purchase a particulai• thing. the
newspaper is immediately turned to for
: information as to where it may be had or
what- particular ind ucements al e offered at
certain establishments. ,
A. decidedly unprofitable system of ad-

handbills scattered alongllMstrects; post
ers on die corners, glaring letterings on*
rural fences . and n•eky hillsides,-, or cards

A well arranged, conspicuous adilertisc
mentin a reliable
,journal never escapes
the eyes of the taublic. It carrids the mes
sage of the advertiser everyviliere and
commands respectful attention from eve.
rybody. It is not . pilsll6l aside, or thrust
out of sight or forgotten. It 'earns the
confidence of readers and is consulted by
thousands of intending purchasers. Its
cost is even small in comparison with that
of the foolish advertising so strop .. Arfy con
demned by busiriess-experts. Th& money
thrown away on the schemes of which we
have , above spoken would have paid for a
large amount of newspaper' advertising
that would have stimulated trade and
vastly inreased sales. T,•ike, whole country
is talking now of a revival of industry and

- IMPORTANT DECISION.—An important
and somow 'h at novel divorce case was dis
posed of by his , Honor, Judge JEsser here
last week. The\tacts in the case as we
understand them are these : In the year
1870 JENNIE 11. H AS NFELT, Of Water
town, Wisconsin, a young lady of more
than ordinarny beauty and intelligence,
came east to finish her ede7tion at ihe ,
Auburn Female School, undo t he the charge
o f Prof. Ileowx. While i-stud‘nt there
she made the acquaintance .of CHARLES
M. FITCH, a young gentleman ot \ that
city. After leaving that institution she
returned to her home in the West, whcre \
she was visited on several occasions by
yAn g FITCH, the result of which was a
betrothal and marriage in October, 1872.
The brief wedding tour ended, the young
couple took up their abode with the par
ents of the husband, where they contin
ued to reside fol. a year or more, but the
young wife not being possessed of as
much wealth as was supposed, FITCH'S
parents she alleges, began a course of ill
treatment towards her, making her very
unhappy. About this time • a daughter
was born as the fruits of the matriage.
tinder. the• influence and control of his
parents, the young husband was induced
to turn against his wife, and she was
forced, it is alleged, for lack of support
to quit Auburn,. and with her infant child
return atone to her mother's home. Soon
after her departure illonnaL L. Furcu,
the father-in-lcw, circulated the most
scandalous reports about her chastity, on
which the young Mrs. FITCH brought an
action againsKtm for libel, and a jury
awarded hert:::judgment of $4,500. Hav
ing been foSed in this attempt to destroy
her character, the husband, CuAuLEs M
FITCII, filed in, the New York Ceurt a li
bel in divorce covering in substance the de
famatorylibels in the former suit; to this
action . she appeared and put in a general
denial, and the plaintiff suffered the case to
be dismissed at his cost. Abandoning
further proceedings in the State of New
York,* he came into the. State of Penusyl-
vania and filed another libel in divorce for
the same causes as alleged in his petition
in the State of New 'Yfr)c, and by means
I I
of false testimony surreptitious y obtain
ed a-decree of divorce in thee( rt of this
County I When - Mrs. FITCU, some time
after the decree for the first time was
Made aware of the proceedings by seeing
a notice of the divorce-in an Auburn pa
per, she immediately took steps to exposé
the-proceedings upon which Fl;rcit pro
cure&jie decree. To that end she came
here and employed counsel, who satisfied
the Court that the plaintiff had procured
his divorce through fraud and deception,
whereupon the, decree , was set. aside.
Judge Jr.s.sur filed the following able
opinion : .
On the Gal day of April, 18'77, Charles M. Fitch
filed ids libel In the Court of Common Pleas of this
14 : Nullity, setting forth his marriage, with Jennie M.
! Fitch the respondant, on the 29th day of October,
1872, and cohabitation until the Rth day of Februa-,
try, is 74, and alleging adultery of the respondant
with one .1. M. Gillett, and concluding with the ,al
legation that the libellant Is a eltli..n of thy Com
monwealth' of Pennsylvania, and bath resided
-therein for more than one whole year previous to
the tiling of this, his petition."
The required affidavit was appended, and on the
same day a subp,ena was awarded upon, which the
I t following return was made:
"I hereby certify that I served the within writ
on the within named defendant persoiaally, on the
20th day of April, 1877, by producing the same to
li , rand making known to her the contents there

On the.ffOth of Sept., WT. ;Jennie U. Fitch, pre•
twitted to the Court her affidavit, setting forth that
she was a resident of Chicago, In the State of' lilt
note. where she had resided for a year.or more,
that no service was ever made upon her of tit.- suiw
Arena, or any other pap'sr In this ease by Charles
Dunbar, or any other person,that she was Ignorant
or any proceedings la:Mg instituted until she saw
a notico'of the ilvorce In a newspaper, and deny
ing each and all the facts alleged as cause of di
vorce, and showing by,the affidavit Of John T.Pin
gree, that the libellant had not been a naident of
the State of Pennsylvania for ono whole year pre- I
'lons to the date of filing his said petition or libel.
Ulan these affidavits this rule was granted.
At the hearing, the following facts were estab
lished by time testimony :
1. That Charles M. ' , ltch had not been .srealderkt,
of the State of Pennsylvania for one Whole, year
previous to tiny - filing of his libel on the 6th day of
April, 1577.
2. That no personal strviee, tiorany service what
ever, was made of the tditlprena, In ails ease upon
Jennie 11. Fitch, the respondant, nor did she have
not- knowledge of the proceedings, nor appear
Ho rein by counsel or otherwise.
And upon these 'facts the respondent asks to'
have the decree vacated.'
It is also proved that Jennie If. Fitch and Chas.
M. Fitch were residents of 'the State of New York
from 'October...lB72, until the Spring of 18741. 'ictkn
Charles M. Fitch, failing and refusing to support
and provide for his wife and child, she returned to
the home of key mother in Wisconsin, and mime
, quently to the State of-lllinols, where she resided
Ve hen the proceedings In this ease were instituted
An actual bona fide residence of ono whole yeai
previous to the filing of the libel Is a pre-requisite
I to awarding the sulqiettaf ,
This residence is one of the essentials to Jails:
; diction. Where there Is no residence the Courts
?have no Jurisdiction, and If a state of facts all al
leged. and giving Jurisdiction, and upon which the
Court acts. and they prove to have been falsely set
up, the action of the Court Is obtained• by fraud,
and In all such cases will be revoked and set aside
upon the pr..per request.
Nar was there any personal service of the subp(ia

been a service ilium the wife at Chicag;•, her resi
dence. this Cnort had no juriadlctien, because
this had never been the common ,domicil of the
partic, nor where the injury was committed,. nor
ha i the offending party fled from the common dont- -
lell.
X
The hneband could no mo t draw the domicil of
the wife In Pennsylvania b his presence here,
than the wife could draw that of *be husband to
Illinois, had she fled to that .State. "In this re
spect justice requires that neither should draw the
other within the folds of a foreign jurisdiction,"
.(colvice vs Reed 5 Smitii.,3so). The law, as settled
by the case Just cited, Is that the injured - party ih
the marital relation must seek redress to the dom
icil of the defendant, unless such defendant has
fled from what was before the common domicil , of
both. This Is affirmed in Reed vs Eleer (52 Pa. Rep
515) In which ease the Court says, "Clearly where
it is once detenitined that a Court - has not jurisdic
tion, notice or psocess duly served cannot give vi
tality to the judtment it may pronounce."
When, therefore, the libellant Fitch failed and
refused to support zhis wife in 1874. she bad the
right to go to the home and domicil she had before
=Triage, and there acquire a new domicil. Her
domicil at the time of the Institution of these pro.
ceellings, in the State of Illinois and there is
no power In r laws to bring ter against her conk

and no right-Ito be heard and produces a record of
the Superior Court of Cook• County, iilluols, show
lug that on the 15th day of December, 1876, Jennie
H. Fitch prefered her • libel and divorce against
him for desertion., and en the 10th of February.
1677, a decree of divorce was granted which decree
remains valid and unreveeseti:
This,ctaims the libellant shows that she is nalong
er Ills wife, and therefore has no right to be;heard.
when his marritial rights are In question. This In
t')it
t 'limes a new feature Into the case, and makes It
er n worse if possible for the libellant.
. ,or this being now admitted by him shows, that
athe time be prefered his libel in the Court, he
was net the husband of Jennie H. Fitch at all, and
therefore be sought to have this - Court Issolve the
marital relation, when none existed, bather
he knew of this divorce of his wife at the e does
not appear In the evidence, nut it does ap r that
he preferred a bill similar to this, and for the Su
preme Court of the State of New York, at what
had been the common domicil on the 7th of March,
1876, Whemanswer was made by the wife denying
the charges, and issue was joined, and that such
bill was dismissed byssensent of parties on the 30th
of Deceinber. 1876.
Whether he knew of this divorce or not, his bill
was no less a fraud upon the Court here, and If the
respondant is notthe law fit wife of libellant.' she
has a right for the protection of, her personal char- -
acter, and the reputation and feelings of the
daughter of these parents to have a record which
will forever stand as a foul blot, and an impeach
ment of her character as an Individual, and which
upon any state of facts, this Court had no rightful
power to make, vacated and annulled. We do not
pretend to express any opinion upon the merits-of
the alleged cause. We only decide that this Court
had no jurisdiction of any causeof divorce between
these parties.that the decree was obtained exports
upon false affidavits of service, and an untrue evi
dence of reoldence Of libellant, and whereas the
libellant new shows no Maritial relation existed
at 'the time.. .
Therefore, the decree of this Court, made July
1.3 d, 1877, dissolving-the bonds of Matrimony be

"STRANGE WHAT A DIFFEIiENCE."-••
Tvieedle-dum in your issue of March 28,
says, speaking of oloomarigarine, "that
and what we call butter are of the 4_3 amo
material by a different process." .
It is . Moubtedly known to most of
your readers that butter is made from
milk or cream, also margarine . from' the
fat of dead animals, whether from - neat
cattle slaughtered for
.beef or from the
carcass of some plump horse or mule after
life's, fitful dream is over, the consumer
may not 'know, but " where ignorance
&c" 'tis folly to inquire into particulars.
That milk in all its lusciousness is the
same material, I never knew before, but,
this is doubtless owing to the mystery of
the "difference." I hope Tweedle•dum
will not feel badly when we have here as
in sister States a law that the venders of
this vile stuff shall only sell it for what it
is, and be liable to severe penalties for
palming it off on unsuspecting customers
for butter. TWEEDIX-DES.

A. BAD-BEREAVENEENT.--GUY L. Ross,
aged two years and eight months, only
child of DANIEL F. and BELLE Ross,
and grandson of Gsonon M. and • MARY
Ross, of the town of Ulster, Pa., came to
his death suddenly March 20t11, 1878, un
der the most afflicting circumstances. -
The day before, Match 19th, while at play
in his grardfather's house, ho fell back
wards into a pail of hot- water, scalding
hills so badly that he died in about twen
ty-four' hours. It is well, that the little
sufferer was released-so soon from the ter
rible resulting agonies. •
. Little Gui was one of the most spright
ly and beautiful of boys. • His, symmetri
cal form was a model for the sculptor,
and-his many interesting ways made him
a Cherub of ,two households—the father's
and the .grandrather's. No human words
can tell the deep affliction caused by - this
sad bereavement :—sad in its, suddenness
and the attendant circumstances, when
viewed only from a . human stand point—
but not sad When viewed in the light of
Divine Revelation, for we are there as
-Su-red that, "Of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven."
We have the clearest warrant for believ
• g that this sweet boy, passing thus sud
denly beyond the storms of time, inu;
found his everlasting borne in the blissful
Peadise- beyond the river.
Tram COUNTY HiStORY.--StlbSCritOrB to
the history as well as all persons interest
ed in the local history of Bradford Coun
ty, will with pleasure that the work
has been completed, and is now ready for
delivery: We have not yet seen a copy
of the book, but learn that it is au elegant
volume, and doe's credit not only to the
author but to the enterprising publishers
who have pushed the publication with so
much energy.
Mr. H. B. Ptr.ncE, who some of our cit
izens may remember as the gentleman
who assisted Mr. Cnstrr in compiling
some of the chaptertof Bradford County,
and was in the publishers office when the
history was completed, at the. conclusion
of the writing of the last page dashed off
the following impromptu. To appreciate
the force of the expressions, the circum
stances mint be known. After the fire
in which a part of the printed matter was
consumed, there was it great deal of extra
labor required to bring the work out at
the time it was advertised to appear. ED
WARDS, the foreman of the printing office,
who was eagerly pressing for corrected
proofs and copy, hacka peculiar pronunci
ation of some of the names of the town
ships ; for example, Sheshequin he accent
ed on the first syllable as he did Wysox,
making it also short-the spelling and the
rytbm are intended to convey this pro
nunciation :
AN IMPROMPTU
(A LONG RAT) AFTER ".EXCELSIOIL”
The presses all were running fast, •
The typos setting up the last,
When Edwards cattle from realms *bore,
And more In sopawi than In love
"Wlssox I"
" We want more copy right away ;
We've set the last of Tow4ms-day,
Shesbos-quin is in type.
Ark we must base It rare or ripe, \‘'
This Whom
"Here are stinke prooti to read right oft,
At once; don't stop to.sneeze or cough:
3111eMeney wants thew,--cannot wait,—
He !rants to know,, too, just the state.
There Is," said Edwarts, "Jost one thing
latehlod of what we-need to fmizig •
This Job around and out on fluid, .
o ,For which we wal4.with that stiblfme,—
That's Whoa
Just the tag kith's; our play,—
We want . lt . bad,—we nou't delay,—
weii set It up in wink of eye,
And proofs revise before they're dry,
Of Atlases."
Thus saying, Edwards went air,
But floating downward, falling soft
Upon the ear, like sounds afar, '
Through cottage casements 4 half ajar,
Came "Vistas."
l'rtz teMperance interest is on the in
crease hero. The meetings which baVe
.beau held during the
_past week, clearly
indicate that the the interest of our people
has not abated in the least, but that there
is a firm determination to continue the
warfare against King Alcohol, until the
last devotee shall surrender or "die in
the last ditch." As in all movements
this character there is much in the, man
ner of Conducting the meetings whichlis
• 'stasteful to someg but • all unite in pro
ng • nciag the results good, and therefore
all . f... citizens should give it a. hearty
suppo Mr. BARRY, the conductor,
possesses • large - degree of executive
ability, and . - his judicious management
hasteen ins , mental in, awakening . in
terest in the in - • tlugs. Tolhe admirable
choir, led by Mrs. A. BALnwiN, much
credit is due,Jas muskis a most import
ant element an the .MOKphy
,movement,
and this portion of the ex,ncises has been
Most successfully maintaineA We - nave
not the time and space to refs in detail
to all the speeches which have benkmado,
but the Court House has been crowded
every night, and the addirsses hivelreen
attentively listened to. LLEWELLYN HAR
RIS, RHODE 310 E, ARMSTRONG TYLER,
AMES . MCINTYRE, and other reformed
me)tave advocated the cause in feeling
and aching language. On Tuesday el,
,ening, Mr. J. B. Iliiroos, of Elmira, spoke
for nearly hour and a half in a most
eloquent andoonvincing manner. At the
conclusion of liis address, the larger part
of the Naiad Firia , Oompany filed into the
'room in a body and signed the pledge.
This manly example *lit add to the al
ready brilliant record of\ he Naiad boys.
The meetings will •be ntinued until
further malice. The evening salons are
pFeceded by a prayer meeting at - the M.
E. Church - every. afternoon.
QUITE an excitement.' i vase created on
Wednesday last, :by tboj diszovery that
one of the trusses sustaining, the roof:. of
Christ Church, had in some unaccounta
ble manner, slipped !loin its position; and
was liable to come craShing down upon
the heads of the worshippers, or at any
time, and fortunately the matter was dis
covered in time to save an accident, =and
the timber was placed in position' again, '
and the building is now as' secure as ever.
rt SHER, the Photographer, has edited
to the attractiveness of his building by
,placing over the entraute a beautiful and
artistic sign.'
