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.

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 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.

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.

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.
