HORACE UEEELEY.
" Mr. Greeley was burn in Amherst,
near Manchester, New Hampshire, in the
:aprifg-of 1811.' His father was an un
successful farmer, The son 'became a
printer in bis fifteeuth year ; worked iu
Erie iu this Stale a short time, an.! in

were expanded iu the pvfr and t' cir
' worth is seen in its position, and in the
victory of so many of tile principles it
- has been m.tde at one tim" or auoth -r tu
champion.'' :
?- Horace Grctlcy died on the evening of
Mh 29th day of November, at ten
"Irflnutea before seven o'clock. About ibis
vime time on the evening of the 221 of
' last September, the people of I'atti-rwi.
' Alilflmand vicinity listened to a speech
from liis lips lie was then just er.ter
Inr nnon his Western campaign tour.
The opening sentence of his fpwli i
yet as fresh in our memory a if it had
tieen delive cd to day. It was, " My
friends yon see before you an oM man
wearied with a day's travel " A co;q 1
pany of gentlemen from this place went
' with him to Lcwistown. one of whom re-
latel to us that immediately after K-av
ing I'attersftn, lie again expressed feel
ings of weariness and withdrew fr:tn
those about him to a seat alone, ULd
cioseu ins eyes as tr to seen sleep and
repose. Thus h remained till Lewis -
town was rcacLtd, where" he e.gain tnat?e
a speech to the assembled people. This
fatigue thus continuously kept up was
, but the first harbinger of the painful
nd of the life of Mr Greeley. That
day's proceedings was daplicated day
after day, and day after day was the
mental excitement and physical faiiue
sapping his nervous system and inid j of orphans and minors, and who hnd the
iously preparing for the dethronement ol 1 iItt. to direct whether mnch of the ad
bis reason, that followed after three vertising neresssrj- to be done ' tUo
weeks of almost unceasing vigils at the jib ment of the estates of decedents
bed-iii ir bis dvin wife, on his return J should be doite iu r.ne or more than one
from the campaign tour, and thus, through newspaper. Frequently one answered
the- ngeucies 'of mental excitement of j the purpose as well as two, aud thus an
weeks duration without abatement j item of expense was saed to the estate.
and weeks of physical unrest, death
ushered his sxil into the unseen and
Unknown spiritual world.
The announcement of his death pain
fully thrilled the nation.. He was not
orthodox in his religious views. He be
lieved io Christ, but believed little in
creeds.
Peace, peace ! Let no man judge him,
let be be judged. He was an honest,
forgiving, kind and good man. and had
an undying faith iu the integrity and
humanity of his fellow man, hence his
coalition and fellowship, for political
purposes, with men ho had sought the
life of the Nation, lie took them at
their word, being without guile, and
pure himself, he saw no danger.
Unfortunate step ! lie mistake of his
life.
With charity let ns withdraw from
the closing scenes of tbisl'fe, thus ended
so sadly on the 29;h day of Novein
ber, and behold. Horace Greeley as the
champion of all tha great liberal auJ
humane measures that have so distin
guiehed this country, and placed its peo
ple in the scale of civilization far above
all Other people.
He was tba powerful alrocita of a
diversified industry. The farmer and
manufacturer alike found in him an bon-1
rs friend, at,.' be pave much of his l.m- ,
and snbatane for the vancement of ,
men iniereats, wi.vnig iiiai oy eo ooinp
the iirtemus of tbe whole ;mple would )
be advanced.
He was tbe friend of rommerce, idc
cially beu so adjxsUfd by laws that tbe
beuefits derived from it should inanely
accrue to the benefit of his own country,
which be loved with more than love of
self. Free and Common School Educa
tion Le espoused with a seal character
istic of tbe belief that he eheiirhed,
iliai the e( ability of American Institutions
lies in the education of tbe whole people,
then by giving them the mental capacity
aud comprehension to overthrow the
amniiigly-devised plans of unscrupulous
and wicked men, who, from time to time
will doubtless arise to aggrandize them
selves at the public expense, and at the
expense of tbe liberties of the people;
and so on through ail of tbe great re
form measures and industrial interests for
tbe benefit of the people he was always
in the fore front of Hie battle. The peo
ple of the world are tbe better off for his
having lived in it. '
Ot last Mouday rooming General
John F. Uartrauft retired from the duties
of Auditor General, and General Harri
son Alb n, recently elected by tbe popu-
lr Yule for that office, assumed tbe place.

On the first Tuesday in Jauuary next,)
the Legislature will again meet to ro-'

sume ita duties, when no doubt tue usual j
number of local and private bills will be
presented to that, body, and theit-enact?;,
tnenf trrtows be urged "ly the partis?
interested in their pissage. I ne people
of Juniata county should an J will claim
. fii .
a email share of its attention. The re
peal of the laws til relation to the public
printing and lc2al advertising will be
prayed f .r They have done this twice
f-bA.c but their petitions wv wot bur
ied. Twice have they afkeil for the re
peal of the act of oili of April, 1867,
believing it to be enjust and burthen
some. That act required the County
Coir.mi.Viouera to publish matter as legal
advertisements, to be ptid for out of ihe
County Treasury, that never had been
by law required to he j-ublit-bed before
its nassaee. ' Thlslbey'were required to I :
do in three newspapers having the largett
circulation, and all oilier piintirg, such
blanks. See., was to be divided equally
between these three papers. Its object
evidently was to innease the patronage
of the Omtity Commissioners and to
control them in the bestowal of it. - It
inti wiiueei-neral disfavor. - The people
i did uot wirh to b taxed a thousand and
i ... - .
more dollars a rur merely tor we pur-
m
pose of keening up somebody 8 "organ."
Tbey sent hi petitions numerously signed
by our taxpayers without regard 1o par
ty, and as-ked their Senator and Repre
sentatives ti bare the law repealed in
I871 "I'b HonorableSenator had the
law 'promf tly repealed in ihe Senate, but
onr very honest, faithful and ; energetic
Ih-preseutative permitted it to die in the
Mouse.'! Again at the s'essionrof 1S72 its
repeal was asked for. Soon tlie people
were informed that the law bad been re
pealed, and they were content, ontil they
found out that they bad been grossly im
posed upon and betrayed by their repre
eetitHtives. The repealing act. as it was
called, was approved March 7. 1872, but
it does not repeal the act of 1871 except
only in so far as it requires the printing
to be done in two newspapers instead of
three, as required by the act of 1S71.
The papers are to be " one of each rep
resenting the leading political parties,"
! aud the Cvntity Commissioners are crea-
ted into a kind of Court to sit in judg
ment upon and determine what are the
leading political parties and which of
'the county papers shall do the printing
j and 1-g d advertising. -; The judges of
the courts and all the county officers are
expected to abide by and be governed by
th ir decision. The law is most unwise,
niijij.-t and oppressive It attempts to
take away the discretion and judgment
of the JaHges of our Orphan's Court, in
whose custody the law has long confided
tlie rare and management of the estatfs
Kut this act requires everything to be
published in two psp.ns, whether in the
judgment of the Court it i necessary or
not. - It requires Executors, Adminis
trators. Guardians, and Trustees to ad-
vei :ise everything in these two papers
which the t'ounty Commissioners have
named, and- thus the estates of widows
and orphans are made to pay tribute
to the chosen "organ's ' Their estates
are taxed for political purposes.
Tbey are robbed of their patrimony by
law. They are required to do that from
which they derive no benefit No one
can tell how much money is thus extort
ed from the people aunually. Repeal
this law, and hundreds of dollars miy be
annually saved to the taxpayers on ac-
count of the public printing alone. One
tenth of every dollar of county taxes
paid goes to keep up these organs. It is
to the interest 'of every votiT and every
taxpayer in the ctinnty to t;;n and cir
culate petitions a-king for its repeal.
Let the people organize for this purpose
without regard to party. Let the peti
tions be all collected and forwarded at
once. They shonld be circulated in
every borough and township Let there
be a clrati sweep, and see if onr Sena-

Horace ft.-eeley were passed in both
Houses. Mr. .Banks, of Massachusetts,
having been an at dent Liberal deemed it
proper to resign the idiairmanship of the

ten' yards frou! the (rack of the Alleghe-

as the me.tr took a hatchet with them the

attempt to opon one of the cans, with the

the time of the accident it contained
eight thirty-five pouud cans of the ex
plosive agent, .an amount sufficient to
sweep Oil Cily out of existence Fhould it
explode in one of the business streets.
The shock was like that of an earth
quake, accompanied by a sharp peal of
thunder, 'i he Oil City accommodation,
due at Scrabgrass at 9:i0illed out at
9:30 aud had advanced about One bun
died yards on 4ts way when the terrific
explosion centred, shaking the solid
rrnniMl . on all sides. The concussion
seemod M strike the wheels of the locom
otive and cars, aud for a moment to check
its headway. The glass in the windows
was shattered to fragments, and the frigh
tened passengers were impressed with
the belief that the boiler of the locomo
tive had blown up. Tbo concussion
seemed to go diagonally across the river,
aud evidently followed the course of' the
snmo for some distmce. The inmates of
a bouse neaily opposite were badly shak
en up. The hone rocked as though iu
the grasp ol a fearful bunieane the clock
was mrown ..om tne sian.., u.e crocKery
from the shelves, and the inmates. ushed
out in greai terror to una out tue c.mse
of the unwonted , .benoinenon. It was
diatmcily felt at Inker s Landing and
by n pei.tlc n au on horse back at the
Mailin (aim six miles from lhat point.
An Oil City gentleman, who was at the
Sauds wells al the time, heard the cxplo
sion distinctly. - He states that it was so
loud that the workmen thought a boiler
had exploded uear at hand. The ground
where the magazine had stood was torn
up as by some convulsion of nature.
The trees and biisiies around were shat
tered and diverted of their limbs,' and the
tops of large old trees weretwii-tcd off as
if they had been mere twigs. The site
looked as if a whirlwind bad euveloped
it and exhausted its power for barm.
As soon as the explosion occured, men
from Scrubgrass and the neighborhood
rushed for the . magazine. A terrible
scene met their view, but without wa tiug
to examine the site,' they proceed! to
search, for tha bodies, of Wii'hi and No
ble. , They were literally bl .wa to
fragments, aud only a:cii mally could a
bit of flash, b u- or cl rUiiii be found
ISits of clothing were found on the trees
and bnshes surrouuding the cave on the
river bauk ased for the inigaziuc. ."-o

life and property was averted .
Mr Wright was a man about forty
years of age, and leaves a young wife
who he married last winter, and who was
at the Gregory House, Scuhgrass, at
the time of the accident. She needed no
human messenger to bring her the sad
tidings. The same crdel shock that hurl
ed her husband into eternity, liore to her
ears the dread story of his death. ' She
heard the exploriou, and exclaiming that
her b:isbfiud was lost,' fell to the floor in
sensible. The same messenger swooped
on across the cotintry and gvo it to her
family. They i;ve several miles in - the
