THE reckless and unscrupulous
manner ,in which some newspaper
correspondents deal with reputations,
and the loos• and dishonest way they
have of inventing or circulating ru

,The charge
had been boldly made and published
that certa'n , newspapers in Philadel

bill, by the payment of large sums of
money. The editors and publishers
were accordingly summoned to I far

foie the Committee on Thursday last.
Not only was the charge not.proven,
but—it_was almost imPossible to find

DEATH OF JUDGE PACKER:
The End of a Useful and Honorable
OM
Hon. A g.A. nick Ea died at his Phil
adelphia residence, May I TO, at 10:20
P. 31., from the effects ofa severe cold
contracted in the fall, He was con
fined to his house for about three
weeks, from exhaustion produced by
a loss pc muscular Power, consequent
upon deterioration of the blood. His
symptoms soon became alarming, but
pearly two weeks ago the physicians
thought he had ',fussed the'crisis. He
seemed -to be improving until about
noon "On Monday 9a4t, when he sta.,
fered a relapse, and for some hours
his death was looked for momentari
ly. He rallied, however, on Tuesday,
and seemed to be gaining -strength
until three o'clock Saturday morning,
when he began to sink rapidly and
eontinucd to grow Weaker until at
eight O'clock be spoke his lash--*Jitk,
and from that time until hisilcatlrhe
was entirely unconscious. He died
surrounded by his family and friends.
His funeral took place at 7Mallell
Chunk, on Tuesday, and Was largely
attended -by otheials and
others, Who mourned with heartfelt
Sorrow the loss of a- man who - was
universally recognized as a worthy
and valual.le citizen.
In this brief notice of
. Judge PACK-
Ea we desire to pay our' tribute of
respect to his high character for in
,tegrity, his indomitable energy, and
his far-reaching sagacity as a
busi
ness man. Thusc.: who had the pleps
ure of knowing him, will remethber
the cordiality and sincerity of his
friendly greeting, his tinassiuning
manner, and his clear, concise and
sensible utterances. In his-rise and
at the summit of li s, successful ca
reer, he was a ,than to whim the young
men of the day could be Pointed as
worthy of their notice and imitation.
His rapid and enormous accumula
tion of wealth was not smirched by
an instance of wrong doing, nor of
extortionate or doubtful propriety.
He wronged no man; but judging bk
cool-headed and clear-minded eaten
lation 'What enterprises would bring I
him successful results, be enjoyed his
success feeling that he had not pro-
fitted by the losses of others. llis
private life wits exemplary ; his-ben
efactions noble ; his hospitality re
fined and generous. Though, past
the tithe of life allotted by the psalm
ist, such a man cannot pass away
without creating the regret that his
useful and honorable life could not
have been spared a little longer, that .
he might have seen the full realiza
tion of all his planO and the full frui
tion of his large bencfactioni.,

struggles and, his successes, will be

F his early education was . confined to
I what was taught in -the rude district
schools of those days. At -the age of
seventeen .he . started out to.seek his

New York, wheie he worked . at his
trade for a year. lie did notAike the
city, hoWever, and returned i to Sus
quehanna county and settled in
Springville township. There he
worked at liii trade and there, on the
231 of January, 18.).8, he was . married
to' a poor farmer'sfdaughter,'SAnAn

They 'were married :wcording i to 'the I
rites of the Fpiscopal Church, in. the
parlor of the little inn,. kept by Mrs.
BARNES, the bride's sister,• at Dim

county. :The young couple spent the
next four years in farming, having
rented :a farm which had formerly
been worked by Mrs. PAcktit's father.
While MI:. PACKER plowed and sowed
and gathered the not oier-abundant
crops, Mrs. PAckint milked'the cows
and administered the household af
fairs with cheerfulness, energy, neat

were poor and markets distant, and
at the end of four years they werc'as
poor as when they - began. In the

large•contiacts fur building, locks on
the Upper Lehigh, which he finished
in 183u,with large. rofits. Mr. PACK-
Ed was then counted:a rich man. In

in the following year, he took heavy
Contracts from SToCK:ro:st & STEVENS,
of. New Jersey, for building boats at
rottsville, to be constiucted . for .the
direct shipment of eual to New York..
It took three years to complete these
contracts. Mr. I'r:mkthen engaged
in-mining and sh 'Ting coal from the
Nesquehoning and other mints, and
thenceforward uninterrupted pros
perity attended him.
In 1852 Judge l'AcKfat took the
contract for building what is now
known as the Lehigh Valley road

daunted any ordinary man, completed
the contract.; afterwards extending
the road to Wilkes-Barre, buying the
North Branch Canal and connecting
with the Erie road at Waverly-, and
securing also connections with the
New York Central by •the Geneva,
Ithaca and Sayre road, and to Lake
Ontario by. the Southern Central, and
also building an independent outlet
for its coal trade to New York by the
Easton and Amboy • road.. These

by his sagacity and Courag,e, and
though their great value has been
somewhat disturbed by the financial
distress of the past few years, yet
they are destined soon to'be-an evi-
dened of his forethought: He owned
twenty five" per cent. of the entire
capitql stock of the Lehigh Valley.

rate interests in coal and iron. _ His
estate is estimated all tlee.way from
ten to twenty millions of dollars.

not, however, an: aspirant for office,
and his railroad business was more
congenial to his feelings. U tit) politi
