Returns from different parts of the
Commonwealth indicate that the major
ity vote of the State is in favor of license ;
therefore, certain liquor men have elready
become earnest advocates of the repeal
of the Local Option law by the Legisla
ture. Such advocates never .kuew, or
have forgotten, that the Local Option
law was made to meet the probability of
the State as a whole, or majority, going
in favor of license. If the State as a
whole, or a majority, regardless of the
opinions in different parts of the State,
for or against license, had voted on last
Friday, it would not have been local op
tion : that would have been a vote by
the Stale. The very letter and spirit of
the law under which we voted last Fri
day, was that the respective counties
of this State should choose, each
for itself, for or against license. The
question was not, if the majority of the
people of the State declare in favor of
license, local'option shall be repealed.
The question was, if Lancaster or any
other couuly declare by a majority of
its voters at the polls in favor of license
said county t-hall have, license for the
period of three years. If Juniata coun
ty, or any other county, declare by a
majority of its voters at the polls
against license, said county shall have no
license for the period of three years.

A despatch from New York, under
date of the 21st says : This morniug wit
nessed the finale of the dark drama which
began nearly two years ago with the
killing of Avery D Putnam", in a Broad
way car, by Wm. Foster Everything
possible had been doneUo avert this dis
grace from failing ou bis innocent wife
and faitiily ; but the Executive saw fit
to withhold his clemency, aad the offi
cers of the law were compelled to exe
cute, their sad duty. ..The circumstances
of the crime for which Foster suffered
the extreme penalty of the law ere brief
ly as follows :
the story of tiik crime.
On the morning of Friday, April 29,
1S71, New York learned tha one of her
! citizens, Avery 1). 1 utnam by name,
had been cruelly murdered the previous
evening while attempting to protect two
ladies from the insults of a drunken ruf
fian. Mr. Putnam, before he died, made
an ante-mortem statement, in which he
narrated the circumstances of the aasult
and recognized William Foster as the
person who committed the cowardly at
tack upon him. The facts of the case,
as published at the time, where as fol
lows : At eleven o'clock on Wednesday
night, Mr. Putnam, a merchant doing
business at No. G8 Pearl street, and re
siding at No. 3 College Place, accompan
ied by Mme. Duval, a modiste of No.
7C2 Broadway, and her daughter, enter
ed car No. 49 of the Broadway and
Seventh-avenue line, to ride up town.
Mr. Putnam and the ladies took seats in
the forward part of the car, and at Six
teenth street Foster, an cx conductor of
the road, got on the front platform lie
then stared persistently at Miss Duval,
and, as sne paid no attention to bis
grimaces, he pushed open the front door
and looked directly rt her. Mr. Putnam
on seeiug Foster thus insult the young
lady, rose from his seat and closed the
door. This incensed Foster aud he open
ed the door again, which was immediate
ly closed by Mr. Putnam.
When the car reached Thirtieth street
Foster came iuside and remarking that
he had paid his fare and was entitled to
a seat, sat down close beside Miss Duval,
He then behaved in a brutish manner,
and made a noise with hia lips which in
duced the young lady to change her
seat. Mr. Putnam then interfered, and
said although Foster was entitled to a
seat in the car,yet he would not suffer
the ladies iu his charge to be insulted.
At Forty-sixth street tho car was stopp
ed aud Mr. Putnam alighted, leaving the
car hjr the front platform. As he was
assisting the ladies to alight Fester went
out aud stood upon the front platform.
He had previously said that he would
give Mr. Putnam "hell," aud seizing the"
car-hook proceeded to execute his threat.
Striking Mr Putnam on the head with it
be fractursd his skull, and inflicted
wounds from the effects of which. Mr.
Putnam died the next day at St. Luke's
Hospital. Foster was arrested, tried,
convicted, aud sentenced. Subsequently
the Court of Appeals affirmed the seu
tence and Foster . was accordingly exe
cuted to-day.

An exchange says : Going to law to
recover a debt, or a character, or any
thing else, for that matter, is not a very
paying occupation except for the law
yers. To illustrate: In Yew Nork late
ly a share in the Glenbam Hotel was
sold to a Mr. Peters for 93,415 04. A
judgment creditor of the seller,- whose
judgment amounted to $2,954, attached
the proceeds. Did he make the debt ?
Not much. Why ? Thus it was :
A receiver was appointed, who held
the fund about three months, and out of
it, 'by order of the court," he made sun
dry disbursements. To himself, as "re
ceiver and manager," he paid SI, 900 ; to
his "counsel," $1,900 ; and to his ' at
torney SI. 46a; to the "counsel for
Peters, who 1i ogbt the share, $950;
and to Peters' attorney, t2C5 ; to another
individual, who figures as an "attorney,"
225 more; and yet to another, who
figures as "superintendent," SoOO ; and
finally he paid the Collector of Internal
Revenue. $S16. All these sums uieburs
ed aggregated $7,984, so that when the
disbursing process was done, there re
mained S431 04 for the creditor, who had
originally attached a fund nearly twenty
times this Rmount, provided he could
overthrow a claim that another party put
in for "wages" somewhat in excess of
this sum.
The judgment creditor is rapidly be
coming a candidate for' admission to a
lunatic asylum, in his frantic mental en
deavor to ascertain why this should be
thus. We imagine a man had better iu
dulge in a row up Niagara Falls, or at
tempt to find them ten thousand dollars
than go to law, at least in New York
city.
Throughout the interior of Africa, and
indeed in some parts of Asia, a woman
is prized for fatness. Beauty is associa
ted with excessive obesity ; and such be
ing the public sentiment, mothers season
ably commence 8 system of die tic treat
ment that makes'thetrtTa ighters irresist
ible. Colonel Keating's travels give an
account of the process of fattening a
young woman for a Inuis market. As
soon as betrothed, she is cojped up in a
small room, with shackles on her ankles.
If her proprietor has lost a wife by death
or divorced one, their anklets are set for
ward for the new matrimonial candidate.
When she has attained a desireablc size.
indicated by filling the pattern rings, she
is carried in triumph to her new home.
The preparation of food that actually
produces that coveted dimension a
mountain of fatness is call drongh,
made of seeds of vegetable peculiar to
the country. Some positively die from
excessive fatness iu an effort to surpass
in that bewitching accomplishment rival
canumates lor matrimonial positions.

A singular incident occurred in Bangor
school the other day. A little girl pur-
! chased a bottle of ether for her mother,
aud took it with her to the seminary.
During the session she passed it about to
her young companions, and, in conse
qucuse of frequent whiff, five pupils
succumbed to anaesthesia, and were car
ried home more or less insensible, while
the air was so full of the violate fluid
that an unau-il drowsiness was felt by
all.
A Bangor bridegroom refused lo go np
to the alter because the bride had adopt
ed the new weakness of parting her hair
on one side. A sharp war of words fol
lowed, which resulted in a declaration on
to part of the angry youth that -he had
taken a firm stand, and that the hair
must be redressed or he would never look

A Littlo Rock girl died a few days ago
of what was supposed to be cerebrospi
nal meningitis. Tho Gazette says : "Dr.
Quidor, doubting the cause of her death,
obtained permission to make a post mor
tem examination. The examination dis
closed the fact that the little girl's stem
ach was Joaded with boiled cabbage,
which had worked , itself into one hard
mass, distending the stomach, and caus
ing death, the victim dying in convul-

deaths credited to this cerebro-spinal dis

entirely distinct from it." '
Illinois has 102 counties and a rail
road in every couuty but seven ; which
fact is quoted as evidence of her pros
perity. But if, as the Illinois farmers
say, "tne railroads are skinning tnem
alive," then of course the more there
are of these corporate savages the worse
for Illinois. Heavy freight rates is the
trouble. Ex.

of the people who came to partake of the

The moat extraordinary frog story that
we have seen for a long time comes from
Colorado. The Greeley Tribune tells it
thue : "Mr. Graham recently found a pet
rified frog in excavating his well. Its
features were wouderfully well preserved,
and the owner had intended to present it
to the Greeley Geological Cabinet, but
one day the boys shattered it with a hat
chet, and, to their utter surprise, an old
Aztec coin dropped out. The date can
not be deciphered, but the figure of a
head is plaiuly visible."
That was a singular accident which
happened to" a mail agent in one of the
Western States Standing in the open
door at the side of his car, as the train
rushed past a small station, a rope, dang

track, swung against him, whirled about

train in a twinkling, and landed on a
neighboring coal heap. lie was iusured
for S5000 in the "Travellers," of Hart

were not even serious, and was all right
again in a few days. But it was the
most like being hanged, and having the
rope break, that that man ever experienc-1
