Death of Rev. Myron Barrett.
Froui the New Jersey IleniM.
L nder the appropriate head in this paper,
will be found the announcement of the
death of Rev. Mvron Rarrett, which oc
curred at his home in Newton ou Monday
afternoon of tins week. .Mr. Rarrett was a
son of Azra Lathrop Rarrett and was born
at North Last, Duchess Co. X. Y., Sept.
Oth, 1S1G. He was, consequently, near
Ins (j(!tli year when he died. He prepared
Ibr college at Manchester, Vermont, and
irraduated from Yale in 1 S 44. after which
he went to Columbus. Ohio, and taught for
about four years. While there he made
up his mind to stud- fur the ministry, his
conversion having taken place during his
last year at College. After pursuing a
course of study in Union Theological
Seminary in New York City, he entered
the Theological Seminary at Princeton,
New Jersey, whence he graduated in 1S51.
His first settled pastorate was with the
Presbyterian Church of Newton, and ex
tended from May 1854 to May 165D, a
period of 5 years. Previous to his coming
to Newton, however, he preached fifteen
months for Rev. Dr. Dufficld at Detroit.
Mich., during the Dr's absence in Europe.
After his pastoral re Jut ion with the Newton
church had been severed Mr. Rarrett sup
plied the church at Stroudsl urg, Pa., for
eighteen months, and was assistant pastor
of South church, New Haven. Conn., for a
short time. Although declining to accept
several offers to assume a settled pastoral
charge, he continued for a large portion of
his time, up ro wiiuin a lew mourns oi in:
death, to supply neigh boring churches
Among those enjoying his services were
the churches at Andovcr, Succasunna
Plains, Clove, and Hamburgh, the latter
being the last one served. As a pastor he
was earnest, laborious and very successful.
Arril Sth. 1S5C he was married to Emma
Ll'izabeth, eldest daughter of the late David
Ryerson, who survives him. In his do
mestic relations he was peculiarly happy,
his attachment for his home and family be
ing of the mo.t sacred and ardent charac
ter. In 1872 his eldest son David, then
nearly a young man, was suddenly taken
nu-ir wliil .-iVmfnr. from his home. This
bereavement came with crushing force upon
31 r. Rarrett, and from the shock which it
caused he never fully recovered. From
that time he was never, physically the man
that he formerly was. Uut notwithstand
ing all this he continued to be a worker.
It was not iu his utaure to be idle. Aside
from looking after his estate and his own
private business, he found time to respond
to the numerous demands that were made
for his ministerial services and to devote a
large share of attention and labor for the
good of the public institutions of the Town.
Tim Collegiate Institute and the Dennis
Library had no more faithful and hard
working friend than he, and the loss that
these institutions have sustained in his
death may be considered almost irreparable,
lie was the first Secretary and Librarian
of the latter institution, and upon him
anxiety required in its organization and ar
rangement and for its successful manage
ment up to this time. His services were a
gratuity, but with him it was a labor of
love. In tLi3 connection alone the people
ofNewtouowe to Mr. Rarret a lasting
debt of gratitude. Rut while he was con
spicuous'in his devotion to our public in
stitutions he was also mindful of all enter
prises which tended to promote the pros
perity of the Town aud enhance the happi
ness and well-being of its citizens. On all
public questions he aimed to be right, and
when once convinced that the time for ac
tion had arrived, as was the case in our re
cent local contest, his example, his voice
and his pen were at the service of his fellow-citizens.
He had a clear and logical
mind and he wielded the pen of a trenchent
and ready writer. In the relations of do
mestic life, as a citizen and as a minister of
the gospel, he was an honor to himself, his
family, and to the community to which he
was so devotedly attached and to which he
gave the service of the . best years of his
fife. In relation to his religious character
it is more fitting that we should allow
others to speak. It is sufficient to say that
the truths of that Gospel which he had
preached to others fbr so many years were
his comfort and support during his last
hours on earth. He died in the full triumph
of the faith he professed.

Isaac Shade, of Tulpehocken township,
Berks county, a very successful fancy poul
try breeder, noticed that a partridge Cochin
hen could not eat corn. He caught her
and felt some hard substance in her crow.
He cut the craw open and found a bunch
of horse hair the size of a large hen's egg.
wound up together tightly and as hard as
a stone. To get the ball out he was ob
liged to cut the craw open .almost from end
to end. He then sewed up the craw, and
in less than a week the hen had fully re
covered. The statement of Col. Thomas A. Scott
before the Judiciary Committee of the
House, vindicating Mr. Rlaine from the
charges made against him of selling bonds
to the Unin Pacific Railroad for more than
their value, was fully confirmed on Wednes
day by Sidney Dillon, Andrew Carnegie
and Hon. James F. Wilson. Mr. Dillon
is President, and Messrs. Carnegie and
Wilson were Directors of the Pacific Rail
road. The Rlaine prospect has been helped
more than hurt by this last attack upon his
integrity.
A Maltese eat belonging to Mrs. Elizabeth
Reese, of Lancaster, strayed away and gave
birth to five kittens on the premises of Mrs.
Witmer. When Mrs. Reese found her cat,
Mrs. Witmer claimed two of the kittens as
her share. This claim was acceded to, but
the young ones were taken home with their
mother until they got their eyes open.
Their optics finally opened, but Mts. Reese
held on to the kittens, when 3Irs. Witmer
opened Mrs. Reese's eyes by bringing suit
for their recovery, and a couple of lawyers
are now wrestling with the case.

Melons are to be utilized in San Francis
co for the manufacture of several articles of
commerce, water melons being the yaricty
to be used mostly. They are said to pro
duce a good quailty of sugar, superior to
thct produced from beets, and also yield a
delicious syrup. The seeds arc to be used
for the manufacture of table oil The pro

A small b.oy, telling his '"palls" how he
came to be detected stealing apples in

Two young men out riding were passing
a farmhouse where a farmer was trying to
harness an obstinate mule. "Wou't he

said the farmer, "he'll draw the attention

young men drove on.
"Marriage," said an unfortunate hus
band, "is the churchyard of love." "And
you men," replied the wife, "are the grave

certain countries, the king may assume the
crown at fourteen years of age, and cannot
majry before eighteen. "It is," answered
Molierc, "because it is more difficult to
rule a wife than a kingdom."
A young lady from the rural districts
entered a dry goods store the other day,
and asked for a pair of stockings. The
clerk politely saked her what uumbcr t-he

A fire brand has been thrown into the
"Molly Mage ire" camp by the testimony
of one of Pinkcrton's detectives, named
James McParlan, who stated that being
sent to Schuylkill county to work up the
cases of lawlessness there, he joined the
society under the assumed name of
"McKenna," and thus learned all the work
ings of the Molly Maguire organization, and
their dans and depredations in that region
He shows them to be a band organized to
inflict summary punishment, usually death,
upon any one who interferes with any of
their members ; that members from a dis
tance are usually called to do the desperate
work to prevent recognition and capture ;
that when it was ordained that Policeman
Yost, of Tamaqua, must be killed, men from
Carbon county were delegated to do the
work ; that mine boss Jones, of Carbon,
was killed by men from Tamaqua. His
testimony implicates all the prisoners now
in the Pottsville jail for these depredations,
and is substantiated by circumstances and
the testimony of other witnesses. He states
that one of the Commissioners of Schuyl

EXPL0SI0N OF FIRE-DAMP.
One Man Killed and Four Seriously
Injured.
Sckaxtox, Pa., May 20. An explosion
of lire-damp occurred this forenoon at the
Oxford air-shaft of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad Company in
this city, by w.hich one man was killed
instantly and four were seriously scorched
and otherwise injured. The explosion was
caused by an accumulation of gas in the
lower vein coming in contact with a miner's
lamp at a depth of four hundred feet from
the surface, and immediately under the air
shaft. When the accident occurred four
men were close to where the gas was con
fined, and these were burned terribly. The
shock was felt for a distance of a mile
around. The gas on catching fire rushed
up the shaft with a roar, tearing the steam
pipes in its course and completely shatter
ing the heavy timbers of the tower above
ground, and scattering them in all directios.
A man named Paff, employed at the mouth
of the shaft when the accident occurred,
had just stepped into the bucket a second
before the shock. He was flung high in
the air, and then descended down the
awful depth of four hundred feet into the
mine, where he was literally smashed to
pieces.

Nothing can be fairer in business dealing
between man and man than to charge all per
sons for the same article, bought at the same,
one and the same price. Wanamaker & Brown
deal thus. They count that a poor man's dol
lar is as good as a rich man's. Kvery pur
chaser of clothing there knows that he is treated
like every other purchaser. No partiality! is
the word. All are served on the some equit
able, honorable, and courteous principle. This
way of dealing is of itself a strong recommen
dation of Onk Hall Clothing House, Sixth and
Market Streets, Philadelphia. Its conductors
have certainly got into the path that leads
straight to the popular favor. May 4-1 m.
