lilt Henry A. Parsoni, Jr., Editor THURSDAY NOV. 14, 1878. The United States Revenue Collec tor in Clarion county is compelling lo cal granges of the Patron of Husband ry, where they buy their own supplies to take out a license, and the Porter township Orange of that county is re ported to have been particularly unfor tunate In the matter. A woman need ing alcohol for some medical prepar ation requested the Orange to get her four gallons. The liqntd was stored in the grange warehouse, and some boys, obtaining access to the building, drtw off some of the fluid for their own con sumption, and filled up the racum with water. The woman was fur nished from the watered tank, and the dilluted alchohol spoiled her mess for her, whereupon she came upon the Grange and recovered damages to the amount of $20. The Revenue Collec tor, getting wind of the transaction, required the Orange to pay a license or fine for dealing in liquor It looks very much as if another trans-continental railroad will be built before the Texas Pacific is completed. A California company has undertaken the construction of roads across Cen tral America, from Sari Jose on the Pacific coast to St. Thomas on the At lantic side. The government of Gua temala agrees to make cash advances on the work as It progresses, and to guarantee to the stockholders a yearly dividend of 12 per cent, on a fixed cost of 1,000,000. The customs reve nue of the republic, which yields $1, 600,000 per annum is specially pledged for security for this dividend. The cash advances made to the company during the construction of the road are to be repaid to the government at the rate of $50,000 per annum, by a deduction from the yearly dividend, to commence one year after the full com pletion of the work. Mr. William Chiistian .and his lovely young wife, of Hano ver county, Va., were seated together in their par lor. The air was damp and chilly, and the husband suggested that a fire be made. There had been no fire In the parlor hearth since last sp.lng, but in a few minutes the back logs were piled up and a cheerful blaze went np the chimney, and Id a few minutes a terrible explosion took place. Mrs. Christian was instantly enveloped in flames and fataly burned. Mr, Chris tian was also seriously burned, but it is thought he may recover. Neighbors hearing the noise, arrived in time to extinguish the flames. Mr. Christian now remembers that last summer he laid a bundle of powder in the fire place and forgot to take it out. Wyatt Chadwell, an old man, clutched nervously at the iron railing In front of the justice's desk, on Mon day, in the New York Tombs, when called to answer a charge of intoxica tion. He astonished the court by re. citing passages from Shakespeare and Virgil, wlndiug up his discourse with an extract from Homer's Iliad. The prisoner's classic recollections failed to have any effect, however. He asserted that he was grandson of Patrick Henry; he had been a Confederate soldier and participated in all the chief battles of the rebellion. Justice Kil breth listened to him with attention and then discharged him with a rep rimand. John Peyton, a wealthy citizen of Roanoke, Ind., died last Saturday and was buried In the cemetry two miles from town. Night before last the chief of police found the body in a dissecting room of the medical col lege at Fort Wayne, Ind. The ficulty state that the body was brought there on Monday by an unknown man. They refused to work on a body received in such a mysterious manner, and noti fied the coroner, who declined to take action. The body was taken to Roan oke and reinterred. The result of the election in the First congressional district of North Carolina is no longer In doubt. Mar tain, Republican, is elected over Yeates, Democrat, the present incum bent, by about one hundred and sixty majority. A special dispatch from Winnipeg says that war has broken out between Sioux, the Blackfeet and the Assinl boines. Several of the latter have been kilted and serious trouble is feared. Frederick Hausell of Montgomery county, has lost four horses and a mule by poisoned oats. Arsenic has been found and he has his whole crop on hand, afraid either to sell or use It. A Marshalltown, Iowa, after the Jury had found one man gull'y of a murder, another voluntarily confessed that be had committed the crime. Governor Hampton was thrown from bis mule while hunting, on Friday, and his leg was broken in two places, -The Forty-sixth Congress will be composed of 149 Democrats, 129 Re publicans and 10 Greenbackers.

Small Bills. The statement telegraphed from Washington last week to some news papers, to the effect that the further issue by the treasury department of $1 and $2 notes had been discontinued, is not correct. No orders whatever have been given in reference to the further Issue of notes of these denominations, and all proper requisitions for them are being filled, as usual, by the treasurer. After January 1, however, the issue of national bank notes of the denomina tion of (1 and $2 will cease, and It Is probable that in order to force into circulation the standard silver dollar the Issue of legal tenders of those de nominations will be curtailed, if not discontinued entirely. The national banking act provides that not more than one-sixth of the notes furnished to any national bank shall be of less denomination than $5, and it further provides that after specie payments are resumed no association shall be fur nished with notes of a less denomina tion than $5. Under this authority national banks may demand, and the secretary of the treasury has no power to withhold the Issue of (1 and $2 notes equal to one-sixth of their au thorized circulation. It is not likely, however, that the ban ks will make such a demand, as the amount of these de nominations issued to them has always been considerably below the specified limitation. According to the last re port of the comptroller of the curren cy, the amount of $1 and $2 notes Issued to national banks was only about $8,000,000, or less than one-eighth of theprojiortion to which they are legally entitled. The small amount of these issues is attributable to the legal limi tation, but more especially to the time and labor involved in signing them, as well as to the further fact that legal tenoer notes of these denominations can be readily obtained at the treasury. The amount of United States (1 and $2 notes outstanding November 1, 1871, was $49,407,000, which amount was nearly equally divided between the two denominations. Including national bank no es, the total amount of $1 and $2 notes outstanding on the date named above was $53,490,000. The act of May 81, 1878, prohibits the further retirement and cane .-Hat ion of legal tenders. Rut that act does not im pair the authority of the secretary of the treasury under section 8,571, Revised statutes, to prescribe the denominations in which such notes shall be issued. That section provides that "United States notes shall be of such denomi nations, not less than $1, as the secre tary of the treasury may prescribe.'' With 14,000,000 standard silver dollars now in the treasury, and the mints steadily adding a minimum of f 2,000, 000 per month, it is reasonably certain that after January 1 the secretary will withdraw United States $1 and $2 notes from circulation va rapidly as a prudent regard for the public interest and the conveniences of business will warrant. Diphtheria. The London Standard, of a recent date, published the following: Some weeks ago there was a very serious outbreak of diphtheria in the neighborhood of St. John's Wood, Kilburn and Harnpstead. Something like forty or fifty cases are reported to have occurred within a few days, and as many as twenty have terminated fatally. Strangely enough, the disease did not attack the poorer and more densely populated portions of the dis trict. The majority of the sufferers were children whose parents occupied largeand presumably well built houses, commanding a high rental. One of the medical officers of the local gov ernment is at present conducting an investigation into the causes of the outbreak, and he will, it is believed, come to the conclusion that it was due to contaminated milk supplied from one particular dairy in the neighbor hood. The disease is said to have first showed itself in a bouse where there were several children ; but, strangely enough, it attacked not the children, but their mother This lady noticed in the morning, when presiding at the nursery breakfast table, that the milk smelt strangely. She tasted it and felt even more doubtful. She refused to let the children touch it, but impru dently drank a large cupful herself. Two days afterward she was attacked with diphtheria in a most profound form, while none of her children suf fered. Whether this especial case Isor is not the instant ia lampadU which will guide the medical officer of the local government board to the conclu sion he seeks would be rash at present to conjecture. It is certain, however, that contaminated milk is, next to im pure water, one of the most fruitful sources of diphtheria. At Wey bridge there has been an out break as severe as that of St. John's Wood, and we learn that in between twenty and thirty cases the sufferers had all milk from one dairy. An in spector came down, visited tbe dairy in question and found that the milk pails, cans and basins bad been washed and rinsed with water from a foul well. Every housewife knows, or ought to know, bow susceptible milk is to contamination. A few drops of sour milk will pollute, or, as it is called, "turn," tbe whole contents of a dairy. It is the same with those organic poisons which are tbe germs of epidemic disease. The milk from a can which has been rinsed out with water from a tainted well may, and often does, carry death into a dozen households. Bridgeport, Ct., November .

Thanksgiving Proclamation. Pennsylvania m : i s.j In the name and by the au thority of the commonwealth of Penn sylvania, John F. Hartranft, governor of tbe said commonwealth. A PROCLAMATION. During the past year the people of the United States have been patient In distress, steadfast In time honored in stitutions, and hopeful of the final destiny of their country. Their pa tience has been the security of society, their faith has saved for posterity an unimpaired heritage and their charity has met pestilence with active sympa thy and quiet self-sacrifice. Now, therefore I, John F. Hartranft, Governor of Pennsylvania, do appoint Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of November, 1878, being the same day set apart by the President of the United States, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, that the citizens of this com monwealth may give thanks to Al mighty God not only for peace and revlvlu( prosperity, but for the faith, hope and charity which His spirit has kindled in their hearts. Given under my hand and the great seal of the state, at Ha'risburg, this ninth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight, and of the common wealth the one hundred and third. J. F. Haktkakft. By the governor : John Blair Linn, Secretary of the Commonwealth. The Stewart Bobbery. New York, Nov. 8. One of the first of Judge Hilton's acts this morning was to ofler a reward of $25,000 for the return of Alexander T. Stewart's body and information that will convict the parties who committed the outrage. A liberal reward was also promised for information that will lead to these re sults. This stimulated the detectives, and scores of them, both public and private, made a visit to the St. Mark's churchyard for clues. Judge Hilton had a long interview with the police officials in the morning, and revealed to them the suspicion that the body had not been removed from thechurch yard, butwas bidden somewhere there, Accordingly a torce or detectives was sent for a fresh search. First the church itself was scoured from steeple to cellar, with no results. Then the work of going through the other pri vate vaults was begun. Burial vaults that had not been entered for thirty years were searched through and through, but without the discovery of a clue. Indeed, the result of the entire day's work may be summed up in the same expression. If the police are to be believed, they have not the faintest trace of the dead millionaire's body or of the men who took it from Its resting place. Two or three persons have had stories to ted which have commauded attention. A young man who works at night was going home at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning. Two blocks from the churchyard he overtook six men. who were bearing on their shoul ders a box six feet long aHd rmrrow like a coffin. Two wagons were being driven alongside of them In the street, One of the men acosted him cheerily with: "Give us a lift, vill you?" but he passed on. The men, he says, wore tall hats and ulster overcoats. The police place no credit in this story Another man, crossing the Cortlaudt street ferry at 3 o'clock on the same morning, says his attention, as well as that of other passengers, was attracted to an overpowering smell, as of putrid flesh, that pervaded the cabin of the fer ry boat. It was so unpleasant that they talked and growled about it. After hoaringof the stealing of Mr. Stewart's body this man was convinced that he had a clue in the odor. Nobody seems to have followed it, however. Indeed, the police of Newark and Jersey City say they have not been communicated with by the New York authorities con cerning the body stealing. The next story heard by the police was that of an undertaker, who sells some sort of a liquid that he advertises will arrest decomposition. On the fifth of Octo ber a young man called upon him and made the most minute inquiries as to whether the preparation would dispel the odor of a body that had been dead for a year or more. The undertaker suspected him and questioned him closely, but the man would not divulge to what use he intended to put it. Two days after the interview was the date of the first attempt upon the Stewart grave. And thus all day stories were received by the police, but nothing has as yet resulted from them. The rob bery remains as much a 'mystery as when it was first discovered. Every farmer and Btock-raiser should subscribe for the New York Weekls &.TLA8.
