INCENDIARISM AT GILLETTS
The Ginetts correspondent of • the
Elmira Advertiser, under date of Febru
ary :rah, furnishes that pap - er with the
following :
"Last Thursday night about twelve
o'clock a pardon of our little town was
aroused by the cry of tire. People, saw
Mr. David G. Knapp's house in flames.
On being aroused and looking down the
strtet, Mr. Knapp saw two figures moving
down 'at a brisk pace, a lame ',man and
woman. Mr. George Suffern, of the
Centre House, and Mrs. Melissa Knipp,
wife of David Knapp, who left him about'
two months ago, and who, was also spy
ing at the ,Ctntcr House, were arrested
and tried before Squire Moody, but were
d;scharged, for lick of positive evidence.
With ready help of near neighbors, and
his own energy, the flames were soon ex
tinguished and the house saved."
SNAKES.
A paragraph Las been going the rounds
of the papers iu regard to the (lino - cry
of black snakes "by the bushel " on a
fardi near Libertyville, Sussex County,
N. J. I have no doubt of the truth of the
etattementi. The writer spent his boyhood
days on a farm within two miles of the
.
Mike of the &alto story. - Colonel Aim%
of Macedonia, hiterwards lived on thb
samevfainn Mrb yhood adv'enitires with
snakes; end especially black snakes of
enormous size, , were sometimes thrilling,
On one, occasion, when the writer was
about ten years old, be and his only sis
ter, two years older, went into the fields,
;Index:the ahadow of the 'rodeo, to pick .
strawberries. • A my large black snake
lay coiled up by the side of a "stake and
ridered " atone fonee.`' , 4 at onc e took

could kill his anakeship Without the haat
danger, (abd I have eYar simce been brave

I could 0.1t17, get on durrtop tail of the

on him, with such force as to praduce in

My plait was carried out to the letter,.
and lb due time I stood over the snake,

THE SCHOOL WARRANTS.
Professor WICKERSIIAII, Superintend
ent of , Public Instruction, having issued
school warrants to the Directors through-
Out the State, and there being no funds
on hand at present to pay thorn, has is
sued a circular to School Directors, in
which he says :
"The • warrants first issued were
promptly paid, but them) sent out later
have not been so fortunate, the State
Treasurer returning them with the state=
ment that. they "will not be paid at pres-
ent." When payment will bo resumed is
of course unknown fo this department.,
but in view of all the circumstances
School Directors receiving tho warrants
are advised as fqllows :
1. To apply to have theurcashdfl at the
usual places in the usual way.
2. If not cashed, to hold ,them, if possi
ble, until they can be ca.slied. They are
good, and rho districts ought not. to be
compelled to sacrifice than, or even to
pay interest on them.
If the circumstances of the diitrict
be such that. money must be obtained at
once, almost any banking institution will
advance the money on the warrants at the
usual rates; or they can be used as collat
eral in the discounting of notes. '
4. Warrants that have been returned
from the State Treasury unpaid, are just
as good as they were when first receive)
from this department.
5. As soon as the State Treasurer shall
resume the payment of the warrants, no.
tice will be giiien in the oftiial. depart
ment of the State Journal. More partic
ular information must be applied for to
the State Treasurer himself. The State
Superintendent can issue the warrants,
but he cannot pay them, nor has he the
means of knowing when they will be paid.

Rexolced, That iu the large and earnest
:1 - ttendance at this District Convention of
Templar, from 'all parts 'of our great
county, we recognize the good hand of
God, and a kind providence in giving
health and determination to
,pursue the
common enemy f)f the race with 6n:that
ing zeal until he shall be driven back to
his native hell. •
Rcsoiced, Thdt - the fruit of the vine
preserved either in sealed packages, or
the dried fruit suitably prepared should
in all cases be used for Sacramental pur
poses. Therefoi c, we set our faces firm
ly against the use of fermented wine as
an emblem of clic saving blood of our
Lord and Saviour.

ing as-constituting the primary depart
ment of the school of drundlirds.
Rorolced, That we, as (loud Templar&
idtedge oar infloenee against all drinking
of sweet, or sour cider by any.
Resolved, That as intemperance is the
most prolific source of all vice and crime,
preventing. all commendable ,progress in
Church or State. in everything that is
good, it is the duty of every Templar
especially, and of every lover of home
and country to use their utmost - endeavors
to bring about speeflily, absolute legal
prohibition to the liquor traffic.
Resolved, That it is the duty of all
temperance men to support only such meu
for our Legislature and other responsible
positions, as are known to be temperance
men.
Resolved, That in view of the increas
ing interest manifested in the temperance
work by the masses, we have reason to
feel encouraged, and as Good Templet's
we will ever labor for the advancement of
`temperance iu our respective communities.

A FEW MORE FIGURES.-
The Ittnootrratt of last week, went lath a labored
C3killalt.n to snow that It printed lucre ems, lead.
lug matter., than any other paper lu fawn. We
shall not dispute Its figures so far as that paper is
coneerurd, but as to our own It Is understated by
about ten thousand. We do not refuse to -carry
the advertising for OUT business men, and we give
all the reading [(tater we can after areommodatlng
our business patrons. If the REPORTER'S compu
tation shows anything. It shows that there Is a lack
of confidence In the paper as an advertising . ntedl
nm. There are two reasons for this. The first Is,
that the REPORTER has ceased .to.be a correct ex-
patient of the popular sehtlinent of the puople. and
has become the mere mouth-pierc of the Cameron
machine political ring that assumes control of the
Republican organization. both comity and State.
The nee •ud la, that Its subscription RIO. In censer
w IF
woos of Its false teaching, has run . oa n five or
sIX hundred below ours, rendentig .1 . niparative
ly valueless as an advertising medt '' is Is evinc
ed by Comparison with our pam.r, lye carry Fite
columns more home advertising 111111, the REPOR
TER, and yet by setting our third page In Mailer
type we give about as much reading matter as that
paper. We would nut have alluded to this subject
had.lt not been opened by the REPORTER. which
seenwilo be Making a desperate struggle to regain
lo,t . grouud. purNue our busine-s in a legit!.
:nate way, and we care not bow much or how little
the Itatrairran, or any other paper does. Our bus-
nevi hi to attend to nor own business. The amount
of harking done by those allied with the REPOlt
d,es not alfeet us. If it did, and its predic
tions were worthy of credit; we would byte ceased
=I
too exist lung ago
This we have achieved against vindictive
and malignant oripositiou and -lying. When the
fight ceases; we will drop the.sulleet, but so long
as It Is continued we will stand on the defensive
and give as gimd av to neut:—/iradford. Septa,ll
can. February .161 h.
In the RETORTER of February 19th,
we gave, as we had a legitimate right . to
do a statement of the amount of reading
matter contained in each of the papers
published in this village the week _previ-
ous. The amount given In each case was
by ona, or,as the matter so given is mess
-tired by fprinters. That the measure
menu; wore correct, is best evidenced by
the fact that, with the single exception of
the Iftpublfean, they were accepted:as be
ing so by all of the parties interested. To
prove that we did not underestimate the
anuctint of matter contained in the Repub
iielin of the date Mentioned, we state that
our figures were not based on an estimate j
at all, hilt on an actual and accurate
3tEiksuntmENT. We stated then-that the
measurement .comprised "reading mat-.
ter, exclusive of all advertising," and
based on -the figures as then given tre
said that the amount ,of reading matter
contained in "two issues of the REPOR
TER exceeded that contained in three is
sues of the Republican, by 11,237 ems."
That statement was correct, and the fig
ures given favored the Republican, which
we will bristly demonstrate.' Sine
eead
ing thh Republican's laMentation, we
have carefully measured the reading mat
ter which it has furnished its readers
since its last issue in November, up to
and including its issue of the past week.
The measuremeut shows that it has aver
aged in each issue 53,393 ems. While a
Measurement of the REPORTER for the
same time shows that it has averaged
104,433 ems, or nearly double the
amount given by the Republican. Should
the editor of the Republican find any
pleasure in a perusal of these figures, as
revived, he is at perfect liberty to enjoy
it to its utmost limit. We simply add,
that the figures are correct.
But it wins not because of a belief on
the part of the editor of the Republican
that an injustice had been done his paper
in our statement, that the characteris
tic article quoted above was given a
prominent position in 111 + last issue.
It was because he saw in it another
chance to vitn his spleen and spite
against the editors of the itErott-
TElt, and to endeavor to injure its busi
ness, by statements as to its circulation',
etc., that he kirew to be unfounded and
ulijust ; and an opportunity to again boast
of a circulation for his paper that it has
not now, never l had, and probably never
will have under its present editorsbip. As
the statement in .regard to circulation
has been freqnently made by the Republi
can, during the past year, we deem the
present a fitting occasion to submit a few
figures, which lwe trust will prove inter
esting reading to the editor thereof, if to
no other person. For the past year the
Republican has dallied a circulation •of
2,600. This claim has been frequently,.
made. Now on information that we deem
perfectly reliable; we make the assertion
(and - We think it will trouble the, editor
of tie Republ ican to disprove it,) that' the
hig h est number of quires of paper over
Used by it toisupply its entire list of sub- -
'scribers, exchtnges, and "dead-heads,"
in one week, was eighty-taco. . As there'
are 24 sheets of paper in a quite,
We multiply 82 by 24; which gives 1,968
sheets. Showing that the Republican
never hactallist of subscribers that 'lum
bered even 4 000 and deducting its ex
changes, etc., 1,000, and we doubt if an
.octual count would give -it 1,800, when its
was at, its largest. We have likewise
eicellinfevidelice that within the past 00
days the Republican has suffered a loss - in
subscribers of nearly, if not quite,. 2.50,
and iu tfie ight Sit suels . pviilence winsuke
the statement - that its bonsijide list 'of
subscribers is lessthan either the Rzroit-
Tin; itissinA or Argus. This much for
the Republican's boasted list of 2,000 sub
writers,
• In the month of November, 1878, the
RarettrEn's_list cif bona 'de substiribers
numbered Ster VOO, and the Puls-
Osbert; gave notice that, commencing
with the first of the succeeding
,January
the system of payment in advance would
be rigidly and strictly adhered to, and
that the price of the paper would be rais
ed to $1.50 from $l.OO, at -which latter
price it was then ,furnished. On the first
of January the publisher's did just what
they said they would do at that time in No
vemberretopped every paper teat was not
paid for in advance. This redu ced the list
of sabscribers to about 1,300, and during
the next two months nearly 'l5O more .
names were added to the list of 1,300 dis
continued,- leaving the list of actual sub?
scribers at abcait 1,100, where it remain,
ed until the • first of April, since which
time less than 50 papers 'have been stop.
pod for any cause. Commencing there:
fore with April, at which time our list
"began to grow," and when those who
had previously talmn the RF,POJITER, but
had subscribed for the Republican, and
perused its columns for three months, we"
have added to our list of subscribers, up
to Saturday last, eight hundred and eizty
wen names, and of this number three
hundred and si.rly-three have been added
since the first of December last. Carry
ing our list a!) to over 1,900 bona fide sub
scribers! A larger number than the Re
publican over bad, and nearly three hun-
dred more than it has now. This increase
of nearly nine hundred subscribers within
the past eleven months, without employ
ing a . lcanvasser or solicitor. during any
part of the time, is, we honestly
_believe,
without a parallel in the history of .any
Country paper published, and is the best
refutaticin that could possibly be furnish
ed to the allegation of the Republican, that
the RErourEti. "has ceased to be a cor
rect exponent of the popular sentiment of
the people."
We borrow a phraae l from, the article
quoted above, slightly changing its-phra•
seology, when we say : " The best evi
dence of z bona fide list of subscribers, is
a bona Ale list." •
In conclusion, we'have 'onlito say, that
in the above.statemer.t, so far as wb have
given the business of our own office, our,
books will substantiate it. 'During the
y :a.F past, we have given our circulation
just as it Was, whenever asked to do so
by those'whO desired to advertise in our
paper. When•asked as to the circulation
of our neighbors we have given it as
near as we knew., To the silly attacks
made upon the ItEron - r:Ett, by the _editor
of the Republaran, beca l ugo its senior edi
tor "holds an office, under the Government,
no answer is needed. Not satisfied, with
having himself held offiee during twenty .
of the past twenty-six. years, he Is trou
bled with a chronic hatred and
j inCry of
those who now hold puldie office, wheth
er the position be that of a Congressman
or a - postmaster. We therefore have for
him far more pity than blame, when we
remember that he has an infirmity in this
respect, which often causes him to appear
ridiculous and robs him of opportunitiest
to strengthen a cause that his advocacy
of is now considered as adding - 4111 Y
au element of discord • and weak
ness. Having said thus much in vindica
tion of- the buSinesS of - our office as
against the undeserved and uncalled , for
attack of the Republiwn, we bid.that pa
per an affectionate good-bye.
TUE leading article in the North Amer
ican Reriew for March is by ex Judge
JERE. S." Bk•AcR, and is entitled "The
Third Term," being a reply, to ex-Sena r
tor Howes paper on that subject in the
Review for February. Mr. BLACK holds
that to elect General Gmtlyr to a third
term of office in the Presidential chair
would be a violation of a custom that 'is
stronger than any laws or constitutionS
whatever E tbak it would in effect be'the
end of our republican institntioni, and
the enstallment of "empire." Hon. E.
W. S-rtionoirrox follows Mr. BLACK, tak
ing precisely the contrary view, that • not
only is a third term•not a thing to be dep
recated, but that it is eminently- desira
ble, especially if, as in General GRANT'S
case, interval of time has elapsed be -1
tureen the second term and the third. A
',timely article by DAVID A. - WEtts aims
,to prove that a discriminating income tax
is essentially Communism, an that this
is specially true of such w income tax as
was levied in the United- States by Acts
of Congress in 1863, and sueeding
}eats. The fourth article is by Rev. Dr.,
BEt.toivs, and treats of Civil . Service:
Reform. The author recounts what has
been done in Britain to reform the civil
service of that country, and shows how
tLe extierience'of British statesmen may
be turned to advantage by American law
makers. Professor SIMON 'NEWCOMB, in
an article on "Our political Dangers,"
calls atiention.to the need of some non
political tribunal for the determination of
contested elections. - Ile looks on the
Presidential struggle of three years ago,.

symptomatic of a diseased political condi
tion.which calls for , remedies very differ

IIIARTIC PILLS are the. best of all Purgatives for
famitruse. They are the product of long. labori
ous and successful chemical Investigation, and
their use, by Physicians in their practice, and by
ill civilized 'nations,' proves them the lA4 :and
most effectu-si purgative Pill that medical skill can
devise. Being purely vezitable. no harm can.arLe
froui their use. In Intrinsic value and curative
powers no other pills can be compared with -them,
and every person, knowing their virtues, will em
ploy them, when needed. They keep the systm In
perfect order, and maintain In healthy action the
whole machinery of life. Mild, searching and of
feetual, thes are specially adapted to the needs of
the digest' e - apparatus, eerangemants. or which
they preveut and cure, If timely taken. They are
the best and eafmt pbosic to emplyy for children
and weakened enastltutioni, where a mild, but
etreetual, cathartic is required: SOLD BY ALL.
