Buchu In various forms has for many years been one of the chief ar ticles in the Materia Mudica for the treatment of certain diseases, among which are chiefly those affecting the urinary,' digestive, and circulatory organs. The difficulty that was long experienced in obtaining a preparation of this valuable drug that could always be relied upon for uniformity in strength and absolute purity led to the introduction of Helmbold's Extract of Buchu, which for the last quarter of a bentury has been extensively used both by physicians and in house and family practice, and with very gratify ing success. This medicine, like every other valuable thiug, has been extensively Imitated, and those who have use for It will do well to see that they obtain the genuine "Helmbold Buchu," the only pure and reliable preparation. A Swindle Exposed. An advertisement of the "Denver Land Company" bus been published in hundreds of newspnpers through out the country, and nniong others, sonib in this and adjoining counties. This so-called 'Company," offered to sell lots In North Denver, Col., at fa bulously low prices. It now turns out that the wholu iillulf Is a swindle of the most outrageous character, mid the "Company," consisting of Sidney A. Grant and Ai F. AVilson, wore arrested In Denver, lusfcSiiturduy. . The fraud was exposed by the Denver paper. hundreds of letters addressed to Grant and the Company have passed through the malls, and It Is probably that many unwary persons have been drawn Into the scheme. If there are any In this county who have entertained an idea of Investing in these lots, this exposure will be welcome news. A Wonderful Escape. Wllkesbarre Times. An event occurred at the Stanton shaft at five o'clock Wednesday after noon, of such an extraordinary char acter as to bo Well nlirh incredible. Had we not seen and talked with the man himself, Me could hardly have belived the story. It Is briefly, this: John McMahon was ascending the shaft upon the ordinary carraue used fur hoisting aud lowering the miners, when he heard a tremendous din over head and on looking up, saw au im mense mass decending with lightning raptidity. In a second of time it struck the carriage dashing it off the slides, and driving it through the wooden partition which passes down the centre of the shaft. Here the carriage etUck, and thus saved Mc Mahoh's life. The fallen mass proved to be a heavy truck, weighing 1600 or 1800 lbs., used for conveying props and timbers to the mouth of the shaft. By some means this had been permitted to run too far, and fell over. McMahon was buried under broken wheels, splintered "wood and rubbish aud was half stunned by the crash and the shock. He thought at first he was fatally Injured, but on crawling out from the debri found that he had es caped with some. cuts on hlsfuce and head, bruises on his body, and one arm and hand temporarily paraloized. Men cut through a brattice with axes, and took him from his perilous position. Here another diffieutly confronted him ho was .six hundred feet from the top, which lie hud to reach by means' of ladders, and with, but one arm uudhuiid to use. He accom plished the feat by holding with his chin on the rungs, when reaching up with his sound hand. McMahon's escape from deatli In the most marvelous we have ever heard of about a mine, and he may safely cluim to have had an experience no one lias ever known, or in all probability ever will know. A Clarion man attended relgious service nt t lie" M. J?. Ctouroh "ofi-f-Sun-duy night lust, which was the first time he had been inside of a house of worship for eighteen years. He was resplendent in his best clothes, ucaliu and holy look that would have done credit to a converted heathen, and wore a shirt collar that hecouldu't put on in the usual way, but had to climb the buck porch aud drop himself into it. Just how much impression the sermon made upon his mind is not clear, but he was captured With the vocal efforts of the Jubilee Singers, and as he came out of tiie church he whispered confidentially to a friend: "If they'll just hire a minstrel troupe by the year, they can count on me as a member and I'll do as much toward supporting the church as any d d man in the country. Yes sir I'll do it even if junk goes do.wn. to two dollars a ton, aud rags don't bring enough to pay for stuffing them in a flour sack Clarion Republican. On the nlglit of the sist ult., a party engaged in "Holloweviug," at Edenburg, placed an express truck on the top of a box-car at the depot The following morning while the em ployees at the depot were trying to take down the truck, John Munbull, a brother-in-law of P. Moran kindly volunteered his services, and, while helping, the truck fell on him break ing his collar-bone and cutting an un sightly gash in the back of his head. The unfortunate man lingered until between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday morning, when death re lieved his suffering. He leaves a wife aud three small children. It is said the deceased had a presentiment that his days were limited, having re marked to his little boy several clays before the accident. "My son, I feel that your father's stay upon earth is short indeed, that the time is con fined to less than a score of days" The parties who placed the truck on the car are at present unknown. A de termined effort, however, is being made by the authorities to ferret them out and bring them to justice. Clar ion .Republican.

(Including Prepaid Postage.) : In order to place The Weekly Press Within the reach of the Repub lican voters of the States, the price has" been reduced to One Dollar and Twenty-Five cents Tor the year, by the singlu copy, or to One Dollar for the year, by clubs. The Press Is thoroughly devoted to the principles of the Republican party, and mantiilns the Rupubllcan 'organ ization because It believes that the prosperity and progress of the people cannot be safely intrusted to any other existing political organization. Dur ing the year 1880, the most stupendous political conflict of this epoch will take place. Upon its issue will depend thti'political destiny of the country for many years. The Press steadily resists the alms of the "Solid South," which is now organized to capture the Executive, to retain Congress, to remodel and con trol the Supreme Court, and to subor dinate every public interest to the overmastering purpose of controlling the policy of the Nation, and thereby gaining by legislation and peaceful means whut it lost on the field. The Press enforces the duty of preserving in full force the Constitutional Amend ments mude to secure the fruits of the war; upholds the right of every law voter to a free, and unbouht exercise of his right; inflexibly insists upon nn honest return of the votes cast; justi fies the use of all necessary means to prevent fraudulent voting and fraudu lent returning of votes; accepts as fundamental the equal right of every citizen to the ndequute protection by the luw of his political us well as civil rights , maintains as wise the Repub lican policy of Resumption and honest financial legislation; defends as sound the policy of Protection to American Industry; and, in general, follows whithersoever the Republican principle leads.
