FUNERAL Or MRS. BALLY M. WEBB, WIFE
OF HON. JAILLI IL WEBB, OF EAST
• SMITHFIELD.
The community, mid in fact the people
far and near, were shocked at the an
nouncement last blondarmoming, that
Mrs. James H. Webb bad quietly passed
away. About three weeks ago she was
taken with typhoid fever of a very low
form, and soon after with hemmorrhage
of the bowels, but by the skill and ability
oflier medical attendants, Drs. Cowell,
mithfield, and Pratt, of Towanda,
and the comfortable condition in which
she was kept, her case was not considered
so very dangerous until a few moments
prior to her death.
Mrs. Webb was born in -Smithfiekl,
March 15, 1527. Her maiden name was
Sally M. Chamberlain ; married to James
U. Webb September 23. lab - , at the age
of 18 years and six months. She was the
Mother of six children, Ave boys and one
-girl; Four:-sops survive her, George
Webb, merchant at Alba, Pa.,Charles
and Edward, fanners, and illie, the
youngest, residing at home.
Mrs. Webb.was a noble, true hearted
woman ; true to her family, true .to tho
thumb, and true to the community. Her
family received her constant and untiring
devotion. For the members of her owu
immediate home there was no task too
hard, no labor too severe, no work too irk
souie that would in the least give them
comfort and happiness. Indeed, some
thought perchance her devotions too great
and the mantle of charity often too broad
with which she covered all =Makes, but
no one knew her motives half •-so well as
herself. Her aim was to encourage, to
lift up, and bind up with cht,er

LETTER FROM PRILADELPELL
£IIII...ADELPIIIA, July 21, 1879
The visit of Secretary Sherman to this
city last week, excited the curiosity of
the politicians and occasioned considera
ble speculation as to its object. The fact
that the Secretary is an avowed candidate
for the Presidency, invests his movements
with more importance than if he was
merely an official or a private individual.
The visit, - believer, was informal - and
purely official and had* no political signifi
conce. Ile did not come into Pennsylva
nia, to look after his fences, but to famil
iarize himself with the business and corn.
mercial interests of the port third in im
portance to the Union—and which is rap
idly increasing in the magnitude of ita
commerce. Proper respect was paid to
the Secretary by the Maritime Exchange,
and a party of merchants and business
men met. him on the revenue cutter ilam
ilton, and accompanied bin. on the Dela
ware to show him the extent of the port
the increase of its business, and the facil
ities for its enlargement. There were nO,
politicians present,. in that capacity at
least, and the occasion was purely and
pleasantly sociable, The Secretary is on
his way to Maine, where he will speak
this week, and his remarks will be an
elaboration of his financial policy, and of
the beneficent results which have flowed
fnim the carrying out of his' resumption
schemes. It will unquestionably be au
able and interesting speech, which will
attract attention and enlighten the public,
mind.
The good people of this city Were star
tled last with the announcement that yel
low .fever cases were at the Quarantine,
though thanks to the efficiency and ener
gy of Dr. Robinson, such disposition - was
made of the persons afflicted, as would
prevent its spread. The bark Shasta, ar- -
rived at Quarantine on Thursday from
Itayti, with only two seamen on board tit
for duty, the" others being all down with
the terrible disease. The crew were in a
terrible state, and how they ever brought
the vessel to the Delaware is marvelloul.
They finally reached the Quarantine
ground, and the Doctor at once removed
thorn to the Lazaretto and vigorously set
to work to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. There is no reason to apprehend a
spread of the infection, and though when
' the lasgease was at the Lazaretto, some
years since, several deaths occurred
amongst the attendants.
A warning to . women with "long
tongues " was gil3en by Judge Yerkes,
who sentenced Mary Winterstein, of Ger
mantown, to one month's imprisonment,
she having been convicted of being a-com
mon scold.
Colonel Mexauder Cummings, late of
Philadelphia, died at Ottawa, on Wednes
day last, where be was the consular
agent. He was born in Williamsport,
and was 09 years of, age. He lad been
interestedin several newspapers, and was
the founder of the Doiletin and, the Day,
of Philadelphia, and 'of the New York
World. He was more generally known;
from his connection with the Goreinment
in the early part of the war, in furnishing
supplies for the artily.' His purchases
were the occasion of much' unjust and un
favorable criticism, and for a time placed
him under a cloud of suspicion. Investi
gation and developments, however, fully
exonerated him from nny shadow of cor
rupt or improper action, and fully vindi
cated and sustained the soundness of his
judgment.
At Pencoyd station, on the pennsylva.
l ola railroad, on Wednesday, an' unknoWn
man deliberately sought death. When
the train was thin fifty feet of the man,
ho lay down orOis stomach, and placed
his neck on the track with his face from
the train, and seizing the mils with his
hands, awaited the coming of the engine.
There was no title to stop the train, and
in a inomcht the head was bounding along
the track fifty feet from the track. The
verdict of the jury was suicide.
Parr, who murdered his daughter, and,
then committed suicide by swallowing
poison, while•the Judge . ' was sentencing
him io be hanged, not only cheated the
gallows, but put the city to an expense of
$4OO, abargedWthe doctors who tried'

During the bested term of bat week, a
mat about sisty-yttars of age, w^ss notic
ed wandering about on Snyder avenue,
actlog as if intoxicatrxl, and :was finally
found in a vacant lot lying on his face,
apparently in convulsions. He was sent
to the Pennsylvania hospital, Where he
died. Ile was evidently a - Swedish emi
grant,; and was bundled up in clothing,
having on two overcoats. Exhaustion
from lest and theleppressive weight of
his garments overcame him.
It is not altogether creditable to a city
so celebrated for the number of its chart;
table institutions, that it has no free
baths for the;ase of the class of people
who most need them. Consequently the
exhibition on the river fronts of men aid
boys disportirig in complete nudity, have
become disgracethl and very anhoying to
excursionists and passengers on.the- ferry
boats. Orders have been given to the
Harbor Police to atop the naisanre ar
resting 'the bathers, and on Saturday
nineteen swimmers were( jarrested and
fined. But the labors of Hercules, were
nothing, compared with the attempt to
stop the ".wharf rats" as they axe called,
from taking a plunge into the water on a
hot day.
Bogus commission men are B° 7 common
in the city, that country dealers • can
not be too wary about trusting their pro.

not known to be reliable. There are plen

afternoon, while Eugene Furman and An
son Miller were in search of huckleberries
on the point between the forks of Mill
Run, Gaines. township, there came up a
shower. They sought shelter under .a
ledge - of rocks. and soon heard a hissing
noise under some loose rocks - on which
they were standing. Getting a long pole
to use as a lever, they proceeded to un
roof the reptiles, which were thirteen in
number and :all full-grown. They Caine
out of the rocks hissing and biting at-ev

they brought, their carcasses home in -tri
