Vilcox, Pa., Jan. 9th, 1879v
Mr. Editor: The holidays have
passed quietly, presents, good cheer,
and salutations in most homes. Chil
dren were happier and faces brighter.
It Is good to see those grand old days
come around-. The world seems to shine
o"i us all, and the sweets of life pour in
rpon us from a galaxy of cheerful
hearts. Old men and maidens, young
men and children have a feast-time of
of fun and frolic. It Is insplrlng to see
all classes In an exubc'r&uce of Joy In
these gala day. ,. :
The ladles of the Reformed Protes
tant church of this place held a festival
and entertainment in favor of the so
ciety, and it netted about seventy-five
dollars. The Ladles' Society, In exis
tence a little over six months, have
brought to their aid about two hun
dred and feeVenty-flye dollars. The
Improvements to the Wilding are paid
for, and a little money In advance gives
the ladies a fair chance, and they will
acquit themselves honorably. They
can do a work in the church which
men can not, and do It well. The at
tendance at the church is very good In
this severe weather. The Sabbath
School is flourishing ; nearly one hun
dred volumes have been added to the
library. .
Last evening, the first evening of the
week of prayer, begins with encourag
ing prospects. May the religious in
terest along our valleys receive
strength, power and permanency
through the devotional exercises of
this week.
Several men of prominence have
visited this town the past week. The

cold Is abating, there is fine sleighing,
good winter comforts and a warm fire.

of Mr. Samuel Lattime'r, taking out

Verstine, on the North Fork, and at
the time of the accident was piling
square timber at the creek. He was on
the lower edge oT the pile, when the
logs separated and he accidentally fell
between them, three or fouV rolling
over him and crushing him in such a
manner that he died In about five
hours after the accident. He was an
upright young man, who hud the re
spect and esteem of all who knew him.
His remains were taken to his father's
home eh Sunday, and on Monday
afternoon were interred iu the grave
yard at Geistown."

Grand Colonization Scheme.
Representative Hariucr, of Pennsyl
vania; will introduce in the National
House of Representatives, a bill for
the organization of a reserve to the
regular army to develop the agricul
tural and mii'eval H""iure.s of the pub
lic domain,. afford relief, provide the
means cf support and secure home
steads to the . unemployed working
men. The preamble to the. hill sets
fortli that, by reason of the immense
over-producti'oii in the various brun
ches of !taiiufacture, it becomes im
perative that other channels of indus
try be provided whereby the large
numbers of Idle artisans, laborers ami
mechanics can find employment, and
that the development of the agricul
tural and mineral resources of the
public domain, under the auspices of
the .General Government, oilers the
speediest and most practicable method
to bring about this result. The bill
provides that the President be author
ized to accept the services of volunteer
artisans, laborers and mechanics, not
exceeding at any one time over 50,000
men, whu shall serve for not more
than five, nor less than two years.
They must be citizens of the United
States, and fitted forthc labor required ;
are to be subject to the rules and regu
lations of the iirmy; Will bo formed
into regiments of infantry, and placed

and equipment as soldiers of the regu

familiar with and proficient in the
use of arms; will Iim Kiiliii-fl in tha
orders of the President and Secretary

insurrections, protection of Govern
ment property, invasion from foreign
Nations, or rebellion against the au
thority of the United States ; are to be
furnished with free transportation
from the. place of enlistment to the sev
eral reservations. Each man will be
allowed 100 acres of land, and at such
times as he is not on military duty
will be engaged in agricultural anil
mineral pursuits; after an. honorable
discharge will be entitled to receive a
patent from the Government to the
land.. On the death of a soldier after
having served one year his widow or
minor children will be entitled to all
the benefits whi'jh could have accrued
to the soldier had Ug lived. Pensions
will be allowed only for disability in
curred while in the performance of ac
tual military duty:
w- Brady, junior editor of the
Brookville Graphic died suddenly at
the residence of his partner, W. G.
Clark, on Sunday, 5 b inst. He had
been drinking considerably and was
trying to sober up. The doctor gave
him a prescription composed of mor
phine, chloral hydrate and bromide of
potassium, such as is given in like
cases, to the extent of a two-ounce
bottle, with instructions to take one
teaspoonful every hvo hours, and ad
monished him to follow the directions
closely. At 10 o'clock Saturday even
ing he went to bed, but failing to put
In au appearance at breakfast Sunday
morning it was thought best to let
him sleep until dinner. When Mr.
CJark went to awaken him for dinner
he was found cold In the embrace of
death... The two ounce bottle stood by
his bed-side empty. Deceased was
about 27 years of age and possessed of
more than average ability as a news
paper paragraph writer.
Notes.
..The Pennsylvania Legislature
organized Jan. 7th. The Senate chose
Thomas B. Cochran , for. Chief Clerk. ,
The. Houso elected H. M. Long (Re
publican of Allegheny County,
Speaker, and W. C. Bhurlock Chipf
Clerk. The Democrats voted for
Daniel Sherwood, of Northumberland, ,
county, for Speaker.
By the decision of the post office
department matter printed by the
papyrographlo process, the electric
pen and type writer, cannot pass
through the mails except on payment
of letter postnge. As much of this
matter Is iu the nature of. personal
correspondence there Is no good Reason
why It should hot pay Jetter postage.
Business of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for. eleven months
of 1878, as compared with the same
period of 1877, shows ail. Increase in
gross earnings of $755, 685, and decVease
in expenses of $591,047, ah increase in
net earning of $1,316,732. AU lines
west of Pittabuigh and Erie for eleven
months of 1878 show a surplus over all
liabilities of $47,809, being an Increase
over the same period in i877 of $255,
348. Charles Sharpe and James McDon
nell, two Mollie Maguires were hanged
at Mauch Chunk, on Tuesday morn
ing, at 10:40 a. m. They both asserted
their . innocence of the crime for .which
they were convicted. A telegraphic
reprieve arrived about one minute too
late, and at the minute the rope was
cut a loud knocking was heard at the
door, which proved to be the telc
raphic operator with a reprieve from
Governor Hurt ran ft until next Mon
day. Says the Warren Ledger : Last
winter the Legislature passed a bill
making Titusville a lcg"al place for
holding Court. The ConVatutionality
of the bill was tested by bringing it
before Judge Church's Court in Mead
ville, and his decision was against the
billon the ground of unconstitution
ality. It was carried to the Supreme
Court, where the decision of the lower
court was affirmed. And so Titusville
is compelled to go to Mcadville with
all her legal business.
An exchange says : The correct
view, which experience brings to each
man, is that advertising should be in
cluded in the general estimate of ex
penses, as regularly as store rent, clerk
hire and insurance. It it often said
that a good stand at a high rent is
better thaii a poor one rsiit free. Well,
sir, advertising brings, a inan before'
the public in a way that makes any
"stand" good. The best stand you can
have is to be in the newspapers. These
are facts brought out in fall trade.
Most of our business houses should be .
so extensively engaged in advertising
that it could be made d special depart-1
ment. The great question ith every
firm is what does tl; 9 public know
about US, uud the prvirr .j'-'y ! - :
what we tell them. That is the true
view of advertising.
The Brookville Republican fur
ther remarks that, oh Monday after
noon last, the 0th inst., Mrs. Henry
Chunibcrlin, of Pichurdsville, Pu.,
committed suicide by hanging herself
to a rafter in an upper story of their
house. On the afternoon mentioned,
she secreted herself froH the other
members of the family, and -securing
a rope placed it around her neck, and
having fastened the other end to the
rafter, jumped from the bod, breaking
her neck. She was a lady of many
good qualities, loved and respected in
the community lii which she lived,
but of late her mind hint been consid
erably impaired through, religious ex
citement, which was doubtless' the
cuu-e of her rash act. Mr. Chamber--liu
is one of our best citizens, i:d has
sympathy of the entire community in
his sad affliction.
The Titusville Herald of Jan. 6
says that the intense cold and pressure
develops parafline in crude petroleum,
and thus wp find that the pipe lilies of
the oil region have become so clogged
with p?rafline since the advent of the
Arctic wave, that they cannot trans
port oil in sufficient quantity to keep
pace with the production. It is
claimed that iu the northern oil field
alone fiom five to eight .thousand bar
rels of oil are going to waste daily
from this cause. In some cases the
freezing is not so great a In. others.
This is owing to the oil being pumped
through pipes suiik in the ground.
The drilling and pumping wells have
also in many cases been brought to a
stand still, partly because the streams
which feed the boilers are frozen dry,
partly because the men cannot 'stand
or work in the derricks with the ther
mometer at or below zero.
When a young fellow gets too "sick"
on the girlb; s'sj s an exchange, it hag
often been a difficult task to find a
remedy for the 'siokriess." But one
young lady has at last discovered a
perfect cure, and a few evenings since
had occasion to use it. She gave her
fellow a vial, telling him not to open
it until the next day. It was labelled
"for heart disease take three times a
day," and it looked as if it contained
white powder. He took it to a drug
gist and asked him if he could tell
what it contained. The clerk took It
to his prescription desk, drew out the
cork, when he observed a thread fol
lowing It attached to the cork. Draw
ing it out, he found at the end of the
thread a minute mitten. The vial
was lined with clean, white paper,
which gave it the appearance of being
filled. He replaced the mitten and
handing it back to the man, said it
was a well known but. harmless reme
dy for heart disease, and in most
cases oiie dose. was. sufficient. The
inquirer looked relieved, aiid walked
away with his precious bottle snugly
tucked in his vest pocket. The girl
that gave him that bottle won't, be
troubled with any more calls from
him.
