jfciT Edward L. Wolf and family of thin
place, have within the last week moved to
the city of Scranton, with the intention of
making that place their permanent abode.
.Mr. Wolf is a son of Ex-Governor Wolf,
hthI came to this place about 20 years ago,
and worked for 8 or 10 years on the Monroe
Democrat. About the cud of that time
democracy, so-called, became too strong for
his olfactories, and from that time to within
:i few days, he has been employed more or
less on this paper. But during the above
time he lias acted as assistant post master,
respectively, under David Keller, Judge
e Young, Theodore Schoch and Mrs. M. A.
linc; in all perhaps 15 or 10 years.
Mr. Wolf is a genial, gencrou.?, kind
hearted soul, instinctively inclined to make
himself contented if not happy under sur
rounding circumstances, hi them smile or
frown. He never borrows trouble, nor allows
it to trouble him much when it comes.
As a writer, Mr. Wolf is perspicuous and
accurate, rather voluble, free and easy, sar
castic, or generous, as humor prompts or
necessity requires; and hi.s mental culture
being unusually good, his rare knowledge of
men and things, his great fund of general in
formation and his long experience in the
printing office as well as in the editorial
sanctum, pre-eminently qualify him to suc
cessfully drive the quill on or for any paper.
As a citizen he will be much missed from
our daily walks, as his genial qualities
aiwaj's ensured him welcome in any circle.
We ri.-k nothing in asserting that he carries
with him the lest wishes of all our citizens
i"r t ho best of success and prosperity to him
and his, in their new place of abode.

TIMOTHY HELLER,
CONVICTED OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DE
GUEE. The trial of Timothy Heller, for the
murder of Charles T. Muflley, noticed in
last week's Jeffersoniax, was concluded
o:i Saturday last, by a verdict of murder in
t ie second degree. The Jurors were out
about one hour and a half. On Monday
afternoon the prisoner was brought into
Court, when Judge Dreher sentenced Heller
T. pay the costs of the suit and undergo an
imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary for J
the term of twelve years in solitary confine-1
merit at hard labor.
The case was well and ably tried on loth
Mdes, and when the Jury retired to deliber
ate, people were very much divided in senti
ment, as to the result. A strong appeal was
made to the Court, by Mr. Walton, to tem
per their judgment with mercy. The pris
oner sat during the whole trial, apparently
taking no interest in it, and as unconcerned
as if he had been a silent spectator.

Beautiful Women. The hair is the
crowning glory of woman. There are few
moderate defects which cannot be remedied
by the proper disposition of the tresses. But
when the hair begins to fall out, or turn gray,
in j-oung people, or with those in the prime
of life, there is cause for real regret When
this is the case, HalVs Vegetable Sicilian
Hair lien near will be found to be a first class
remedy, far superior, as a sound medical
medium, to anything else before the public.
It actualh restores gray hair to its original
color, and in the great majority of cases,
causes it to grow again when it is becoming
thin. It is not like many popular prepara
tions, a mere wash, but a scientific discovery,
indorsed and used by physicians of character.

Disappeared. Miss Mary Snyder, a lady
who keeps a fancy goods and trimming store
on North Third street, Easton, Pa., on
Saturday afternoon disappeared from her
home, and has not since been heard from.
She has been laboring uuder a depression of
spirits for some six months past, or since the
death of her niece, to whom she was very
much attached. It is supposed that hor
melancholy has much to do with her absence.
Miss Snyder is forty-nine years of age, has
auburn hair, and one upper front tooth is
broken. She wore a sage-green alpaca dress,
black cashmere sacque, black velvet hat, and
heavy boots and over-shoes. The family are
in great distress about her, no clue of her
movements having yet been obtained. Any
information by which her whereabouts .can
be ascertained will be thankfully received by
William Keller, Easton, Pa.
Pitiable. On Sunday morning last,
about S o'clock, we noticed a citizen of
the readers of the Jcffersonian, moving to
and fro in front of the hardware store of
Joseph Matlack as though waiting for some
one, and we paid no further attention to the
man just then. About 3 o'clock r. M., a
friend called on us and stated that the man
was in front of the Stroudsburg Bank, and
seemed to be laboring under the delusion
that he was commanded to stand guard on
the corner. In answer to the question
"what were you doing on the corner at
Ma Hack's?" "He said, I was standing
guard." "How came you to change from
Matlack's to the bank corner?" His reply
was, "a fellow came along and di-i'nt do
right, I chased him across the creek where
I caught and tied him, and I am now at the
corner in pursuance of an order to stand guard
here." We asked him who gave him such
orders? He informed us that the order was
communicated to him through a pipe in his
ear. All the importunities to induce him to
leave the corner and go home, failed, until
Dr. Davis D. Walton, who happened at the
corner, went and prepared and gave him an
opiate, when he left for home willingly.
The man had the mania a potti or delirium
tremens.

Mountain Home Encampment, No. 247,
was instituted at Mountain Home, this
county, on Wednesday last. The occasion
was one of great interest, not only to the
brethren who reside in that immediate neigh
borhood, but also to numbers from abroad,
who were present and took part in the insti
tution ceremonies. The Encampment opened
with twenty-one active members, and the
prospects are that the membership will grow
rapidly and Mountain Home Encampment,
like Mountain Home Lodge, take rank
among the best in point of numbers as well
as of work. Among the strangers present
we noticed Messrs Stokes, Heiss, Baily,
Lukens and Bobbins, all shining lights in
the order. c placed them among the
strangers ; and yet they were not strangers,
but brethren in the truest heartiest sense of
the word feeling thoroughly at home not
only in the work of the order, but also with
all with whom they came in contact It
does one good to meet such men, and the
brethren of Mountain Home Encampment
felt more in love with the order after witness-
ing and experiencing the masterly manner in
which tho work was manipulated. Indeed,
one cannot but feel proud of an order which
has such men enrolled anions its leading
spirits.

From Harrlsburgr.
IIarrisburg, Feb. 23. 1874.
During the week just closed we have had
more than an ordinary amount of sensation
and excitement on the Capitol Hill. Your
readers are already familiar with the arrest,
and resignation of Mr. Dimmick. It has been
the subject of talk here for days, but very
rapidly the thing has died out in five days
after the resignation the fact is almost forgotten
that there is yet a committee who are to investi
gate and report the truth. Will they report
the names of the banks and bankers who have
compromised themselves, by sending in corrup
tion money in answer to the "Gibbons" circu
lar? We will know by and by.
The reunion of former members of the
Legislature before 1850, was well attended, and
thegathering was pleasant and interesting, some
four or five in attendence are over SO years of
age, and one over 90. Hon. Ileidrick IS.
Wright presided, and Gov. Hartranft who was
specially invited and introduced by a com
mittee, made an appropriate speech. In the
evening they enjoyed a grand banquet at the
Kiikwcod House.
The local option question is becoming decid
edly interesting, the probabilities are that a
bill of repeal will pass the House, but that in
the Senate the vote will be close, with even
chances. On Thursday evening a strong dele
gation of the friends of local option appeared
before the committees on vice and immorality
of the two Houses, to whom the question is
referred, and several speeches were made by
General Lewis Wagner, James Black, Rev.
Marshall and by three women Mrs. Dietrich
of Williamsport, the wife of a leading lawyer,
Mrs. Annie Weichmann of Philadelphia, and
Miss L. Ella Wright of Lancaster. The best
and strongest (speech, and decidedly the most
impressive, and really worth all the rest com
bined, was that of Mrs. Dietrich. And meat
remarkable of all, her wonderful power on such
an occasion was first discovered on this occasion
as she never before attempted such a task a
speaking before a public assembly. She was
induced to say a word by the delegation of
ladies who came down from Williamsport, and
it required the strongest appeals before she
would consent, and only for the purpose of
bearing testimony before the committee as to
the operations of local option in Williamsport.
She commenced by assuring the audience
that she is not an Annie Dickinson, nor what
they call a "strong minded" woman, but only
a woman a wife and a mother from Williams
port. Then she "went for" the repealers. I
will not attempt to give an abstract, for noth
ing loss than the speech in full would give the
faintest idea of its force. Her logic was power
ful ; her language clearly indicated superior
mind and education ; her delivery was clear,
ready, emphatic and graceful, and her appeals
to the committee were in child-like simplicity
and entirely irresistable. Her appearance too,
is very fine, and her entire make up commands
the respect due to a good hearted christian
woman. On Friday morning, her speech was
the subject of remark all about the Hill, and if
local option repeal should be defeated, as it
may be, it will be more in consequence of this
speech by Mrs. Dietrich than any other single
cause or agency.
In Williamsport the Worn ens League means
"business," by the way they are already Borne
four hundred strong. And here they are
agitating, and it would not be surprising if
they would capture the entire Hill Executive
Mansion. Arsenal. Artillerv and all. And if
they do, what will the members do? Try to
pass the bill whilst a whole brigade of women
are in the rotunda, on the front steps, and per
haps in the gallaries, and on their knees pray
ing "Do, please, gentleman, do let us keep
"this one good act of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture whatever else vou do do not take this
"one good moreal from the wives, mothers and
"daughters ol tiic state, inis is the way
Mrs. Dietrich talked, and now they all threaten
to pray ten thousand strong in the same man
ner and spirit.
The indications are growing stronger every
dav for a long session as fur on in the season
as June perhaps longer. There seems to be
no way of hurrying up the new way needs
time. After a bill has been read it must lay
over at least one day, and this at least three
times over in each house.
Among the sensations created was the intro
duction of a bill by Dr. Cressler of Luzerne, to
regulate the "Social Evil," and before it had
been at the Clerk's desk five minutes it was in
the hands of some one who smuggled it away to
be copied, and reporters were unable, at the
proper time to get hold of it and ascertain the
details of its contents. It is presumed that the
gentleman from Luzerne who offered the bill
thoroughly understands the moral, social and
sentimental aspect of the question in all its
minute details, and if no, to him very properly
belongs the honor and distinction of leadership
in such legislation. Ererylcadinjr legislator has
his particular hobby. I have known many
different one9 and each devoted to some
particular specialty. For instance, . Senator
Wallace particularly devotes himself to general
laws on the subjects of corporations, taxation,
municipalities, and courts, because his mind
runs in that direction. Senator Petriken for
several years made it his specialty to legislate
for the propagation and protection of fish, and
he succeeded in securing important act9 of
Assembly on that subject. . A member from
Philadelphia, in the House, is noted if not
distinguished for making a motion almost
every morning when the clerk reads the jour
nal of the preceeding day, "that the reading
be dispensed with," and that is the only sort
fa motion he ever does make. Now the
Luzerne representative appears to be of the
special class only radically differing' from
Wallace and ' Petriken and others whose
mind run in lofty channels he means that
his favorite subject must be protected and reg
ulated by law just as corporations, and
railroads are regulated and food fish are pro
tected and propagated under lawful regula
tions. Thus do representatives of the people
differ in their tastes and inclinations. . But, I
must close I fear I am crowding on your
space. It.
Wire netting for plastering as a tub
stitute for laths has bean proposed and is

Suicide ix a House of III-fame ix
Wilkesbarrk. In the Luzerue Union, of
the 25th ult, we find the following sad
affair: "On Monday a well-dressed and
gentlemanly appearing young -man, 23 j'ears
of age, stopped at the White Horse Hotel,
in Market street, and registered his name as
"Wm. R. Howard, Belleville, Richland
count', Ohio."
'"Our reporter learned from the hotel clerk
that he was here in search of his wife und
found her in a house of ill-fame, and for
reasons that have not yet been made public,
but may be readily imagined, took poison
this morning and ended his earthly troubles
in a few moments."
A Card Fred. Myers, the proprietor
of the Opera House of Wilkes Rarre, bar
ins been invited by the citizens of
Stroudsburg to perform with hi troupe
at that place, did so last week. lie was
most cheerfully received, and the patron

expectation. The press of Stroudsburg
speak of his exhibition as entirely void of
vulgarity or anything contrary to the fuel
ings of the must fastidious. His house
will be open, as usual, for the amusement
