Mm. Fillmore, widow of Ex-rrcsi-denr
Fillmore, died in Bufl'ulo, Aug.
11, aged 70 years. An unmarried son
by hie first wife Is the only remaining
relict of the Ex-Piesldcnt's family.
"Some men are horn great, others
have greatness thrust upon them.'"
Cupt. Cook, of Brownsville, Ohio, is or
the latter class. He hit a man the
other day for saying he "hoped the
President wouldn't recover," and was
compelled to pay $2 in lines and costs
for the exercise. A Cincinnati news
paper opened one-cent subscriptions to
pay the costs. In a few hours over
8,000 persons subscribed, and the pen
nies were still coming in at last ac
counts. The balance of the
might be used in paying for a
money
slap or
two more at the same rate.
The Philadelphia Xorth Ameri
can calls attention to the fact that we
are cancelling the public! debt, from
surplus revenues, at the rate of over
one hundred and twenty million dol
1 ins a year, and says that any school
boy, applying these figures to the fact
that the bonded debt, on October 1
next, is estimated to bo 1, 580,223,600,
can figure out in how many years
counting in the annual reduction of
interest, as well as the 120,000,(10
yearly payments), the bonds will ba
reached that are now tho basis for
national bank circulation. These
banks cannot count on ten years of
further life at this rate.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania
who have been boasting for the last
few months of their ability to carry
the State next November, and of their
purpose to do so, have resolved, how
ever, to play the waiting game, and
have fixed upon September 28 and
Williamsport as the time and p'mo
for holding their Convention. The
Republican Convention will be heldat
Harilsburgon September 8, or nearly
three weeks earlier. Thus far neither
party displays a burning interest in
the canvass which must soon open, but
local contests and the importance of
noxt year's election will soon arouse
tho activities of ail tactions of both
parties. Foran "off year'' this will be
a lively one In Pennsylvania politics.
Philadtlphia (.
The Philadelphia .YcrrA American
submits the following question for a
debating society: Was George Wash
ington tho first President of the
United States? Congress met on
March 1, 1789, In New York, and the
Senate organized April Oth, electing
Thomas Langdon President for the
purpose of opening and counting the
votes for President of the United
Jdtates. Tho House had organized
August 1st by choosing Frederick A.
Muhlenburg, and in joint session Con
gress counted the electoral votes April
Cth and announce I the election of
George Washington and John Adams.
Official notification was sent to both,
and Adams appeared April 21st, took
bis place in tbo chair of the (Senate,
and made a speech accepting the office
to which he had been chosen. Wash
ington did not appearand qualify until
the 30th. The point for discussion is
whether Adams was not a nine-days'
President.
Easton, August 10. The quiet
borough of Freemansburg, just above
here on the Lebigh, is in a high state
of excitement overa dastardly attempt
at poisoning made by Frederick
Moyer, who had quarreled with some
neighbors and resolved to be avenged.
During lost night ho purchased a
quantity of parts green from Dr.
Gross and must have thrown it into
a, large spring. This morning a
pecular color of the water was noticed,
nd an examination disclosed a large
quantity of poison in the spring. Mr.
F. W. Ritter gathered some of it
and brought it to Detective Johnson
of Easton this afternoon, who at once
made a complaint against Moyer and
took out a warrant for his arrest. The
spring water runs through Freemans
burg and many families get their
supply from it. Had not the poison
been discovered early this morning
many would have been fatally pois
oned. It Is said that in New Haven
Conn, about five hundred wells have
been abandoned because of their near
ness to sink and cess.pools. As New
Haven people know as much as any
one else about the size of a dollar, and
bave also some unusual sources of in
formation about the quality of their
well water, It la not likely that the
wells were abandoned without cause.
As, however, houses, wells and bin Ue
are no nearer one another in New
Haven than In tho majority of country
villagea, the action of tho people
should have some effect on other com
munities that got their drinking
water from wells. The quality of well
water that does not smell hud is some
thing that country people, even coun
try physicians, resolutely refuse to
think worthy of attention. So thous
ands of families are having their
health slowly but surely undermined,
although to build and supply u large
cistern is not a matter of serious ex
pense to any man. The cholera was
once spread over London by a popular
well that had been infected by a
patient or two who had come from
bJy board. '
When Can a Man Striko Baok Ac
cording to Law.
Judge Stone, In a recent assault and
battery case, in his ciiarge said that it
seems to be a growing belief, that lias
ever obtained In high places, Judging
from some recent occurrences, that
when one man strikes another, the
other has the right to strike back
Tho law gives him il such right un
less ho strikes in self-defense. The
old common law went so far as to re
quire a man when attacked to retreat
to a wall or until lie coul 1 retreat no
further before he turned' to defend
himself, even if such retreat should en
danger his life. As laid down now a
man who sees himself about to be at
tacked, and can find no other way of
avoiding it, may anticipate the blow
by striking first. That is self-defense.
If a man, however, strikes another
and turns away, It does not give the
attacked party tho rijrlit to follow
alter and striko in return. That is not
self-defense, but assault and battery.
"It Is not very American," admitted
the Judge, "to turn away after being
struck without striking back, nor Is it
human nature, especially with some of
us Irish-American", and I might nd
vlse a liberal Judgment where such are
the circumstances, but tho law and
common sense teach us that neither
an epithet nor a blow that could be
avoided will warrant a blow in return
or a continuation of a quarrel " In
tills case he expressed the opinion that
tho prosecutor was equally guilty with
tile defendant, and that the aft'iir was
a most disgraceful one, and there
should be an information against tin
prosecutor as well. Tho jury divided
t he costs.
To the Sixteeners.
As has been advertised throughout
the State in various forms that a re
union of Sixteeners, and those having
neon honorably discharged, will be
held at Harrishurg, Pa., August 24tn.

In an Iron Tank.
llrmlford Btnr.
Just before six o'clock last evening
wh'le William Iioggs, a gaugcr for the
United Pipe Line was making his
rounds, his duties being in the neigh
borhood of the Pike, Roger, LVgolia,
Fuller, and other farms in that vicin
ity, he visited one of the large 30,000
barrel iron tanks on the Fuller farm,
and looked in the man-hole and was
surprised to sec a man hanging on to
the lead or saving pipe. At first Mr.
Boggs thought the man was dead, but
the supposed corpse commenced to
talk to him and begged to be pulled
out of the il. Mr. Boggs pulled him
out. The fellow was completely satu
rated with oil, and when questioned
gave his name as Andrew Magill, and
his business as that of a tank builder
or iron riveter. He was evidently in
sane and frantically stated that '-the
lodge put mo in," meaning a Masonic
lodge or body, and that "the devil did
not want me there, and would not let
me remain on the bottom, but pushed
me to the top and told me to hang on
to the pipe," where ho was found by
Boggs.
The man could not have been fn the
tank a great while. A few minutes
would have been sufficient to have
asphyxiated him if the oil had not
been old und by age had lost its gassy
nature. There is twenty four feet ot
oil in the tank now, sufficient to
drown any person. It was certainly
a remarkable escape from death viewed
in any light, and we believe is the
first instance on record of the kind.
To Mr. Boggs much credit is due for
his remurkablo presence of mind and
his kindness to tho unfortunate Ma-
g'L .

Prejudice Kills.
Eleven years our daughter suffered
on a bed of misery undur the care of
several of the best (and some of the
worst) physicians, wiio g ive her dis
ease various uames but no relief, and
now she is restored to us In good health
by as simple a remedy as Hop Bitters,
that we had pnohed at for two years,
before using it. We earnestly hope
and pray that no one else will let their
