It is amazing on what slight
grounds some people base their ex
pectations of what they hope will
turn out to be true. The New York
Sun, for instance makes the remark
that "the statement of so high an au
thority as Col. Alexander MeClure
that Republicans are generally com
plaining of the waste of the public
money in the entertainments given
Gen. Grant, is a striking indication
that Grant is not so very popular in
his own party." Quoting Alexander
McCIure as "high authority" among
Republicans will flatter neither him
therli. The Sun would not probably nor
do so except (or its expressed "hope to
see this tide of disapprobation swell."
It thinks that If It did it might save
the Republican party and the country
the infliction upon them of Grant as a
candidate. The Sun may with propri
ety, we think, retire from a contest in
which it stands little chance of ulti
mate success,-that of opposing Grant's
nomination. That seerns to be almost
a foregone conclusion. He has proven
that lie possesses a hold tpon the
popular heart never enjoyed by any
ex-President, perhaps, since the day of
Washington, and irespeelive of jioii
tics, would bring with him in case of
liia election a sense of assuned political
peace and cpjietudo, which is is possi
ble for no other man, of any party, to
produce. His nomination would
unite and solidify the Republicans as
that of no other could, while thous
ands of Democrats would not object
even by their votes to seeing him
again made President. The cry of
intended Cieserism, Imperialism and
that the election of Grant would be a
step toward turning the government
into a monarchy is all foolishness.
There is already a tendency in that di
rection, however remote and carefully
concealed it may lie among some of
the leaders of the Republican party,
and we believe that while Grant
would remain in office he would frown
upon and oppose it to the utmost of
his personal and official inilueuce.

Dampen the Air Now.
Am. Agriculturist for Jan.
We can liadly too often suggest the
importance of providing ample mois
ture In all rooms heated by stoves,
furnaces, steam pipes or hot water
pipes. There are sound scientific
reasons for this, as well as In the re
sults of practical experience. As
stated in "Short notes on Air" above,
every degree of heat added to the at
mjsphere in a room gives it a powerof
absorbing and secreting moisture. The
air in a room 20 by 20 feet and 10 feet
high, at 32, holds, secrets, about 1
pints of water. The same air heated
to "0, secrets upwards of two quarts
of water, and unless this is supplied,
it is hungry for more water, absorbs it
from every accessible source, from the ,
furniture, from our bodies, and es
pecially from the breathing organs
the mouth, throat, and lungs leaving
them dry and husky. Therefore,
every time the air in the room is
changed by the admission of fresh,
cold air, and heated to 70, two quarts
of water should be evaporated into the
room. ' The strong objections some
have to warm-air heaters huve arisen
mainly from this cause. In using
furnace heaters we always put into
the hot air chamber extra water-pans
besides any that are supplied by the
manufacturers, and take good care to
always have them filled with Mater.
In stove-heated rooms there should
usually be an evaporating surface of
water equal to one square foot for
every 12 feet square of flooring, and
more if the water Is not on a hot place
enough to keep it rapidly evaporating.
Plants in room are mainly destroyed,
or have a sickly growth, because the
warm air becomes too dry and sucks
out the very juices of the plants. The
"house plants" "olive" or otherwise
suffer similarly. In a warm room,
a large towel frequently wet and
wrung so as not to drip, and hung
over a chair back near the stove, will
make a marked difference in the com
fortable feeling and healthfulncss of
the atmosphere.
Exposition ok 1876. Wandering
through tlie United States section of
this truly wonderful Exhibited, i.y
perornamented and over-displayed as
the most of it is, I came upon an
elegant glass case, whose modesty was
the more conspicuous from its neigh
bors' finery, surmounted by the motto
Diynis I'ra'niifi and displayed, in neat
packages, the medical preparations of
the house of Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co,
Lowell, Mass.
I was aware of the word-wide repu
tation of this eminent firm, for the
character aud quality of their goods,
and remember well their agents in
London, Messrs. Newberry, in St.
Paul's Churchyard. Having a leisure
hour, I determined to examine the
contents of this case, myself, and I
was surprised to see the delicate per
fection to which they have brought
their household remedies. I was
chagrined at the reflect ion that, while
we have at home the most skilful and,
pre-eminently, the best physicians in
the world, these Yankee doctors dis
tance us so far in the line of popular
medicines for family ubc. They have
the sharpness to take ad vantage of the
high scientific discoveries among us
and make pills and potions as palata
ble as they are salutary. I was told by
a leadiug druggist in Philadelphia,
that lr. Ayer's manufactory was the
largest in America, giving employ
ment to hundreds. I must go to
Lowell and see it on my way home.

Death in the Jail. For several
weeks Sarah Grey, a young woman of
seventeen or eighteen years of age,
the mother of a child about three
months old, has been confined in the
county jail, and at the recent term of
court was convicted of fornication, but
tlie Judge taking pity upon her owing
to her helpless condition, ordered that
she be dismissed and sent to her home
in Knox township. This privilege
she did not take advantage of but re
mained with the jailor, Mr. L. C.
Smith, helping to do the work of the
family. Last Sunday morning, at
about live o'clock, she rapped at Mr.
Smith's door and asked to come in,
saying that her baby was dead. She
was admitted aud Mr. Smith sum
moned a physician, but it was too late,
death having already taken place,
caused uo doubt by strangulation, done
accidentally by the mother in her anx
iety to make it comfortable. The
Sheriff provided a coffin for the corjise
and it was decently interred in the
old grave yard on Sunday evening. The
mother, we understand, is an illiterate
creature has not a particle of education
and is the victim of some scoundrel
who should have languished in prison
in her stead. Hers is a case that calls
for sympathy, but we are afraid that it
will be given in such particles as to be
entirely valueless, even professing
christians wrapping themselves up in
self-righteousness so closely that char
ity cannot find its way out to such
poor creatures as her, who is hardly
capable of a proper appreciation of her
pitiblo condition. Brookville lie-

TETKitsox's Magazine for January
is already out, and a magnificent num
ber it Is: a triumph of art, literature
and fashion. The principal steel en
graving, "A Message from the Sea,"
is one of rare beauty. It and its com
panion, "The Runaway Pair," which
illustrates a story by Frank Leo Bene
dict, are alone worth tlie price of the
number. The double size, colored,
steel fashion plate is unrivaled, and
will fascinate all the ladies. Then
there is a large colored pattern, in Art
needlework, a realiy superb affair, and
such as would cost, at a retail store,
fifty cents. We do not xaggerute in
saying that tlie January number is a
perfect gem of loveliness. Tlie stories
are unusually good even for "Peter
son." Mrs. AnnS. Stepheu begins a
powerfully written novelet, "Lost,"
which is in her very best vein. In
addition, there" are stories by Mrs. F.
11. Burnett, Mrs. R. Ha, ding Davis,
"Josiah Allen's Wife," &c. By all
means subscribe for this Magazine for
1S0. It is botli the cheapest and best
of its kind. The price is only two dol
lars a year. To clubs it is cheaper
still, viz.: 4 copies for $0.50, with an
extra copy gratis to tlie person getting
up the club, or 6 copies for $8.oo, and
both an extra copy and a superb mezzo
tint, "Washington at Valley Forge."
Specimens of tlie magazine sent gratis

The Boston Fire.
Boston, December SO. Further de
tails of the loss by fire last night
considerably reduce the previous esti

loss will be $500,000 on the buildings
and as much more on the stock. The
heaviest losers are" Rice, Kendall &
Co , and Houghton, Osgood & Co.,
$150,000 each aud Rand, Avery & Co.,
8100,1X10.
Tlie aggregate damage to buildings
by last night's fire was $319,800; in
surance, $526,000; aggregate loss of
merchandise and fixtures. $007,700,
Insurance, $1,185,000.

The Supreme court, of this State,
has decided, in a case taken up from
Washington county, that the mother
inherits from an illegitimate son dy
ing without issue, and that his wife
is only entitled to a life interest in
one-half of his estate.
Persons contemplating bringing
actions against country newspapers for
libel, should read the following from

who was going to sue us for libel, lias
gone on a visit to tlie Western peni
tentiary for a period of fifteen monhs.
An Erie county colored gentleman
stole a hog recently, which he killed.
A string was tied around its legs, and
the animal thrown around his neck.
While crossing a fence with tlie stolen
property, he slipped, the hog going on
one side, the darky on the other,
breaking his (Sambo's) neck causing
instant death. This is evidence con
clusive tlmt it is wrong to steal. '
About four o'clock Monday morn
ing an explosion occurred in the
Painterstown coal mine, near Irwin's
Station, on tlie Pensylvania railroad
some sixteen miles east of Pittsburg.
Samuel Kistler, a married man, and
Michael Kessler, who leaves a wife and
four children, were instantly killed.
Chris. Fry was seriously burned,
This is the first explosion which lias
ever occurred in these mines, aud it
is intimated that it was caused by foul
play, which could have been pro
duced by reversing a trap or draft door
thus shutting off air from tlie work
ing entries. If the explosion hud oc
curred an hour later sixty men would
have been in the mine.

Clark ami Robert Steward, the hun
ters who left Brookville last October
for the purpose of hunting in the
Michigan forests, returned home last
week. They say deer are exceedingly
plenty in that locality, and, although
this was a very poor season for the
business, they succeeded in bagging
forty-one. This was done by three of
tiieni, the other party failing to make
even one bite tlie iliist. They say tliey
arc confident fully twenty-live more
were killed, which they failed to cap
ture, ou account of not having either
dog or riiow. They report a very

A consultation was held yesterday
morning between representatives of
tlie Pennsylvania railroad company,
the county authorities, and a number
of prominent citizens. The meeting
was a private one, hut it is understood
that the railroad comrianv scaled down
their claims very considerably, and
representatives of private claimants
Intimated that they had similar propo
sitions to otfer. It is probably that a
public meeting wiil lie held at an early
day, when the propositions will bi
fully discussed and n commended for,,
adoption. It is thought that the en
tire claims can be reduced aiie-third
or probably one-half.
On Christmas Eve, during a hall
at the Shilller Hose-house Lancaster
Pa., a tight occurred, in which George
Grolf, aged 23 years, was struck on

attention was paid to the matter at
the time, but at 5 o'clock on Christmas
morning Adam Grolf, living in the
vicinity of the hose-house, was awak
ened by knocking at his door, end.
responding to the summons, he went
down and found his injured brother
sitting oil the step. He helped him
in, and soon after sent for u physieion
w ho did all he could to relieve the
sufferer. Tlie latter remained uncon
scious from that lime until! ten o'clock
this morning, when lie died. Coroner
Mishler held an inquest this afternoon
at which two reputable physicians
testified that deceased tiled from con
gestion of tlie brain, produced by
blows from some hard instrument.
Tlie inquest then adjourned until to
morrow evening, when it is expected
witnesses able to disclose tlie name of
the party who struck the fatal- blow
will lie present.

SOME OF THE THICK resorted to
BY 8W1NDLEHS THE REVOLVER
DO DOE AND THE SOL AH AGRAI'H
SWINDLE.
Many schemes are resorted to by
swindlers to cheat people though tlie
agency of the malls, aud among the
cleverest recently discovered was that
known as the revolver dodge. A firm
pretended to send "good revolvers" to
each purchaser remitting $3. The
goods were purchased fi'tmi a firm in
New York, ami thousands of revol
vers were sent out through the mails.
After a time, however and when the
business had become very extensive
the sending of revolvers suddenly
ceased. The proprietors of tlie estab
lishment then confined their attention
solely to the receipt ami division
among themselves of the remittances
which were coining in great numbers.
This, of course could not go tin for
ever ami tine morning the proprietors
all decamped. They however, left
written orders with an agent for the
receipt of their malls from the post
office, and private instructions to tie
liver tlie enclosure i to the wife of one
of the proprietors.
A flay or two later the proprietor of
tlie New York -establishment from
whom the revolvers had been pur
chased, ami who seems also to have
been a victim of tlie swindle, appeared
upon the scene ami took possession ol
all he could lay his hands on, as satis
faction for his debt. Heseems to have
attempted to make himself whole by
continuing the business of sending re
volvers in return for remittances re
ceived, but he declined to fill the
orders which had been received pre
viously. One enterprising firm sent out a
circular which read thus
"The solargraph watch awarded a
medal at the late fair, is a combina
tion invention of the ancient sou dial
and the mariner's compass. Its ex
treme simplicity excites the wonder
and surprise of all when they realize
what it accomplishes The
solargraph watch is inclosed in a neat
metallic case, anil is as small aud com
pact as the smallest ladies watch.
It is furnished with a neat chain, and
is worn in the vest pocket like any
watch."
A sample "solargraph watch" is
found among the papers dealing with
the subject. Tlie "neat metallic case"
is of tlie value and general appearance
of a small blacking box. Tlio "neat
chain" i of the kind found by lucky
purchasers of penny prize candy. The
internal "works'' of tlio "watch'' con
sist of a paper dial and a tiny magnetic
needle The whole arrangment may
have cost five cents
The "unparalleled offer'' of the
Bristol piano company is such a man
ifest humbug that it is a marvel that
anyone should have been duped by it.
A flaming poster with a wood cut of a
grand piano contains an offer to semi
free "a beautiful piano, solid black
walnut case," etc., to "any person
who will forward us a, list of twenty
persons in their locality who have no
instrument and who you think would
be liable to purchase a piano." The
significant condition is appended that
the persons sending the lit shall en
close 15 "to cover expen.-es of box
ing, packing, etc." Of course the
whole affair was a barefaced swindle.
Awi-'i'i. Accident. Mrs. Elizabeth
Hill, of this borough, was burned to
death on Thursday night, December
19th, under the following painful cir
cumstances: Her husband, having
returned home about 12 o'clock, re
tired to bed, ami Mrs. Hill, finding
the oil in tlie lantern very low, pro
ceeded to till it. Bv some means tlio
oil was spilt and her clothes caught
lire. Hearing her wild screams, Mr.
Hill jumped up from his bed and
seized his wife, took her out on the
back porch, where he stripped her of
the burning garments, and then as
sisted her to bed. The unfortunate
woman died the next morning from
her injuries. Huutzdalc yews.
A Terriule Fall. A young mar
ried man named Georgo Richards,
residing in the "block-house," in
West Clearlield, near the lower bridge,
and wlio was employed as a carpenter
at tlie new tannery buildings, met
with an unfortunate and rather sell
oils mishap on Tuesday forenoon of
last week. He was working at tlie
roof of one of the buildings when he
accidentally fell to the frozen ground
below, a distance of about Wiirty feet,
alighting on his head and shoulders.
Both of his arms were severely frac
tured and he was hurt internally,
having had several hemorrhages. He
was immediately carried to his home,
where a physician gave his injuries
tlie necessary attention, ami bis re
covery is probable, although the result
of the accident cannot yet be deter
mined. Clearfield Republican.

including iii'tny now living. In gives
us the pronunciation of these names,
the nationality, profession or occupa
tion, date of birttl, and if known, the
date fif death of each person. From
its conciseness aud accuracy it sup
plies a want long felt In this direction
and adds very greatly to the value of
this always valuable work.
