SUNBURY, MAY 29, 1874.
DKXTn or J. EiujAfc Tuovpsos. A
hdfrram from Philadelphia yesterday, an
nounced the death of J. Edar Thompson,
Esq., president of the Pennsylvania Kail
road Company, on Thursday morning, be
tween 8 and 9 o'clock. Penn'a It. IL stock
fell on the tame day from 47 to 40.
The Louisiana Flood. The Senators
and Representatives from Lonisiana, Mis
sissippi and Arkansas, bare information
from the flooded districts in those States,
showing that 80,000 persons will be de
pendent on Government or other outside
aid until the crops can be raised, about the
1st of September. A bill has been intro
duced into Congress appropriating $730,
000 for that purpose.
DreadftlConfe!sion. A man named
Packer arrived recently at the Los-Penos
agency, in Colorado, and was questioned
about five other men who had been with
him on the Ute reservation. He finally
made a terrible confession, under oath,
from which it appears that two of the men
having died of starvation, bin comrades cat
their bodies, and then tlie survivors began
killing each other tor food. Packer, the
last survivor, killed the fifth man at a dis
tance of about 20 miles from the agency.
He has been turned over to the civil authori
ties, who will investigate the horrible affair.
Mil Sit-HXEU's Civil Rights Rill passed
the Senate in a modified form after a long
debate extending beyond midnight. The
bill meets with bitter opposition from va
rious quarters, and it is rumored that Pre
sident Grant will not sign it, if submitted
in Its present fbapc. The President is, ve
ry properly, in favor of protecting the color
ed race in all their rights, without discri
minating in favor of either white or black.as
many think the present bill does. Legis
lation can never regulate social conditions
of life. If a man is fool enough to refuse
to be shaved by a colored barber on ac
count of the hue of his skin, he has a right
to do so. Ou the other hand the barber
has an equal right to say that he will shave
no multon-koad who believes that not
"frortft" but "wtor makes the man, the
want of it the fellow." These are rights,
whether civil or uncivil, that cannot be ab
rogated. The colored members of the "Lo
tus Society" in Washington, who declared
they had as good a right as the whites to
have an aristocracy, was undoubtedly right
on the principle that a man can make a
fool of himself with impunity, provided he
does does uot iuterfere with others.

The House Committee on War Claims have
authorized the report of a bill of interest to
a large number of honorably discharged
soldiers who, from one cause or another,
have failed to file claims for additional
bounty. It provides that the time for filing
the claims for additional bounty under the
act of July 2S, 1800, which expired by limi
tation on Jauuary 30, 1874, shall be re
vived and extended until January 30, 1875,
and that all claims for such bounties filed
after January 30, 1S74, aud before the pas
sage of this act, shall be deemed to have
been filed in due time. The bill meets the

WAYS and Suffering. Three men and
two boys lately floated for thirty-two days
in the Indian Ocean in a small boat before
they were rescued. For the last eleven
days they had neither food nor water, ex
cept that the male shot a bird which
chanced to fly over them. They chewed
lead to moisten their throats, tried to eat
their boots and jelly-fifth, and in delirium
bought to kill one another inviting death.
Blood from wounds in a fray was eagerly
drunk, but when the frenzy passed the men
would shake hands and kiss each other.
Lots were cast, and a boy in the boat doom
ed to be killed ; but this the mate, who
acted throughout most resolutely, prevent

Tlte worst they can say of him is that he
ia a "Copperhead.' On tlie whole, we are
disposed to regard the epithet ns compli

f rom Connecticut is an earnest, uncompro
mising Democrat, and has 6tood by his
party principles when it cost comfort and
popularity to do so.
Let us see wliat this means. Katon was

R. Packer, one of the most popular aud
powerful of our Congressional Representa
tives, made an excelleut speech in the
House, the other day, upon the question of
the free exchange and transmission of
newspajHTs and public documents.
Mr. Packer wisely contends that provi
sion should be made for the fr e distribu
tion through the mails of certain public do
cuments, pubH)td by the authority of
Congress; of newspapers from one pub
lisher to another, and of weekly newspa
pers to subscribers in the county where
published.
In the bureau of the Senate and House
of Representatives there are abouf two
hundred and sixty-six thousand volumes,
besides many pamphlets of more or less im
portance. That these books belong to tho
people, there is no question ; aud their
right to have them cannot be doubted. As
their representatives, members of Congress
are charged with the pleasant duty of mak
ing a judicious distribution of these docu
ments, but they canuot be expected to pay
the cost of sending them by mail, or by ex
press. As reasonably might they be asked
to furnish tho paper upon which they are
priuted, or to pay the cost of printing and
binding the books.
Mr. Packer has a clear, culm, unpreju
diced UL-derstauding of these imporlaut
questions. His remarks are well consider
ed, aud are the result of considerable re
search. Upon the newspaper question he
says :
At the dawn of the Revolution there
were but thirty-six newspapers published
in all the land. Iu New Hampshire, oue ;
Massachusetts, six ; Rhode Island, two ;
Connecticut, four; New York, lour; Penn
sylvania, nine ; Maryland, two ; Virginia,
two ; North Carolina, two ; South Caroli
na, three ; and Georgia, one.
In 1S70 we had Jit'o weekly newspapers,
with a circulation of 10,.94,G43. We had,
at the same time, 074 daily papers, with
a circulation of 2,G01,547; 107 tri-weekly
newspapers, makiug with the mouthly and
quarterly publications a grand total of
5871, with a circulation of 20,842,475, aud
the enormous aggregate of I,."i08,548,250
copies issued annually.
The history of the newspaper press in
this country, and of its steady advance
ment and magnificent success, would be
but the history of the country itself. De
fending, educating or leading public opin
ion, it has, as a rule, leen found iu the ad
vance in all measures of progress and re
form, and who so bold as to venture to con
jecture how much this country is to-day
indebted to this agency, fostered, encou
raged, and protected by the people and the
Government as it has been in the past, for
our national greatness, properity and re
renown. These weekly newspapers, let
roe add, reaching as they do every fireside,
every workshop, every abode of civilized
life, and shedding their rays of intelligence
even in the remote and waste places not
penetrated by other meaus or agencies of
education aud information, exert an influ
ence at once too powerful to be neglected,
and of far too much national importance
not to command and receive the respectful
consideration of the representatives of the
American people.
Mr. Packer is oue of the most modest
and retiring, yet one of the most industri
ous and useful publicists. His opinions
are those of his constituents ; he speaks
cloarly and forcibly upon every important
subject, and distinguished honors await
him in the near future. Philaddjihia All

Among other business the following,
which is of importance to the membership,
was transacted by the Grand Idge of
Pennsylvania, I. O. O. F.. at its sessions

of the Grand Secretary, which was in
creased to S2,"00.
The resolution appended to the report,
fixing the per capita tax at ten ceuts per
term for each member, being under con
sideration, a motion to strike out teu ceuts

a long and animated discussion. The vote
being taken on the amendment, it was lost,
and the original resolution, making the per

majority.
The committee to whom was referred
the subject of the Ceuteunial Celebration
submitted a rejiort, recommending that iu
view of the fact that the Graud Lodge of
the United States had been invited to hold
its session iu Philadelphia iu 187U, some
demonstration suitable to the occasion
should be arranged, and suggest that a
public parade and general reunion of the

John Romick aud brother were at work
in a field on a side hill neni MifHinsburg,
on Friday afternoon last. They had gone
there with a two-horse team with the wa
gon loaded with iwtatoes and had locked
the wagon, unhitched the horses and were
working them. A six-year-old daughter
of John Homick, a baby and two boys of
his brother, commenced praying in the
wagon. After some time, the lock of the
wagon became loosened, and the wagon
started down the hill. The boys managed
to jump out without injury ; but the others
remained in. The wagon upset in its
downward course, by which the little iiirl
was struck on the temple so severely as to
leave her insensible and from which she
died iu a fi'.v minutes afterward. The

OLD MEN.
New Vork has fewer old men in propor
tion to its population ih:m any city in the
civilized world. The poor die early, of
course, for the poor in this city have not
the comforts necessary to the prolongation
of life: and the rich, or those aspiring to
be rich, by which I mean the business men,
live altogether too rapid a life to last long.
The man who commences at tweuty-three
with ten thousand dollars or its equivalent
in cheek, and ou that capital does a busi
ness of a half million per annum, is not
going to live to sec fifty, unless, indeed, he
has extraordinary luckoranexlraordihary
constitution. His life is ouc of the hardest
kind of work, and a most consuming ex
citement. Plethoric to-day ou the verge
of bankruptcy to-morrow ; with uothing in
the morning to pay a hundred thousaud
dollars in the afternoon. It is a liC: that
wears faster thau any other labor iu the
world. It is one everlasliug, never endiug
straiu, from morning till night, aud if the
cares of the day cuablo him to sleep at
night, ho is lucky.
But nevertheless, there are a few old men
iu New York, who have survived the straiu
aud wear or tear of busiuess.

is over seventy, and bids fair to live twenty

years ago has been and is a bank Presi

destly, goes to bed regularly at uight, eats
good wholesome food, uses stimulauts
with great moderation, and always sails on
an even keel. If his house should get on
Are, Mayor Ilavemeyer would wait out of it
deliberately ; and if his refineries should
burn, the loss wouldn't bother him a par
ticle. He would go to work and rebuild,
and go on. He will refine sugar till he
dies, and then his sous will do it. afler him
not that they have any need to do busi

A man of little more thau medium
height, with gray hair and spare face, there
is uothing iu his appearance thai betokens
the powers he really possesses. lie is oue
of the strongest business men in the city,
and at the same time one of the most pro
gressive and lilxral of the citizpns benevolently-inclined.
Having made an immense
fortune out of glue, he determined that the
public should have its full share of his
mouey. So he built an "Institute" in
which instruction in the practical arts and
sciences should be free to all, and gave it
to the city. The property is over a million,
but it has done millions upon millions of
good. Girls here learn telegraphing,, wood
engraving, and a number of other profes
sions that tit them to go out into the world
armed for a strife. Young men are in
structed in metal urgy, engineering, etc.,
and all the expense is paid by the property.
Peter Cooper is not exactly a great man,
but he is au exceedingly good man. Every
body loves him, as everybody ought. He
looks and acts as though he was good for
tweuty-live more years. May hi; live to
eujoy them.
DANIEL DREW
has passed his seventieth year, and is so
tough and wiry iu his texture, that lie bids
fair to live many years longer ; though
potsibly could a vote be takeu among his
associates, his decease would not be long
deferred. Daniel began life as a showmau,
was promoted to lie a taveru-keeper, and,
following his instincts, drifted into Wall
street, where he has been, for many years,
the most feared operator of the street. He
is extremely religious is a devoted mem
ber of the Methodist Church, and has built
a Seminary ; but his profession or his giv
ings have never yet prevented him from
shaving his associates most unmercifully
whenever he had them iu a tight place.
Nothing so delights the old man as to get
his rivals iu a position where he can squeeze
them. He shows them no mercy he de
stroys them utterly. It is related of "Un
cle Dan'l" that once on a time he advised
the pastor of an M. E. Church iu New Jer
sey to invest in a certain stock.
"But suppose I should lose ?" queried
tho preacher.
"I'm so certaiu that you will make mo
ney," was the reply of the good Daniel,
'that if you do lose I'll make it good to
you."
Thus fortified the preacher did buy a
tritle of the stock. Aud having so good a
thing the good pastor confidentially told
thirty or forty of his flock, all of whom
made haste to invest in a stock which the
saintly Daniel had as good as guaranteed
to go up.
But coutrary to exiectalion the stock
went down, dowu, down. The preacher
rushed to Uncle Daniel to redeem his pro
mise, which the old man did bygiviug him'
a cheque for the amount of his loss.
"The thing didn't work, did it," said
Dauiel.
"Indeed it did not."
"Well, you havn't lost anything."
"But, my dear sir, I am distressed not
withstanding. Being certain of what you
said to me I confided this good thing to
my parishioners, and they "
"Hev lost, hev they. Well, people
should never tetch stock oulcss they kuow
the market, or hev some friend like me to
make 'em good ef they lose."
The joke of the thing lay iu the fact that
Daniel finding himself loaded with a stock
that was sure to go dowu took his way to
unload. He told the preacher, knowing
that the preacher would tell his parishion
ers. 1 1 was he who sold them all the stock
they lMught. I Ie could well afford to make
good the preacher's loss, if thereby he
could unload the remainder upon the
preacher's friends. Daniel was handled
roughly by Jay Gould and Jim Fisk,
and he was hurt severely last fall, but de
spite all this he is a rich man and is a
power in the street. But his riches never
can make him friends, for he is too selfish.
A. T. STEWART
is another lively old fellow. He has
reached seventy-live, but is as active as a
man of thirty. He is the best preserved
man of his age in New York. Every day
finds him at his business, which goes on,
enormous as it is, with the regularity and
precision of clockwork. He employs in his
business 820,000,000, and has real estate
to probably three times that amount. He
looks like a man of careful thought, and
might pass for a physician or a clergyman,
lies hair is auburn, and approaches red,
and retains its original color. His counte
nance is of light complexion, and is so1
smooth aud firm that he might pass for
fifty. His dress is plain aud ucat, all dis
play being studiously avoided. He stands
five feet six. Forty years ago he com
menced trade in this city in a very small
way ; but such a man could no more be
confined to a small business than Napoleon
could be kept on Elba. He has thousands
of employees, uses millions of dollars, and
deals in an enormous variety of goods ; but
so perfect is his system, so complete his
method, that I doubt if he ever losses a
dollar. Each clerk has his special duties,
and those duties are so interwoven with
others that the slightest sin of ommission
or commission must eventually be discover
ed, lie lives plainly, though well, aud
has doubtless many loug years before him.
Where his money will go to, no one can
form au opinion. He has no relatives this
side of the water ; and with those ou the
other side he has had no connection for
years. He is building an enormous insti
tution up town, which, it is supposed, he
intends to use for a "Girl's Lodging
House," but this is not certain. The pro
bability is that ho will keep on, iutendiug
to do some great aud good thing, but if he
dies suddenly before his plans are completed,
and that his enormous fortune will enrich
his Irish relatives. Our only comfort will
be that the estate will have to go through
the courts in New York, which will keep
the roost of it iu this country.
VANDERHILT
is auother man who has seen eighty, but
who enjoys vigorous health. Old as he is,
it was only a few years ago that he mai-
ried a young wife, and notwithstanding he
attends to the detail of his enormous rail
road business, aud play whist as regularly
and methodically as ever. He controls
more miles of railway than any man but
one ou the continent, aud his lines are all
important. He is an iron-giay old fellow,
who worked up to his present position from
nothing, aud who bids fair to double his
already collossal fortune before he passes
out. But I have gossipped loug enough
about the old men. It will be noticed that
every oue of the rich old men in the city
commenced very poor. It was in poverty
that they got the strength and the habits
that to-day sustains them, this is the
moral to it. If I could start, again I should
start poor.
BUSINESS
is horribly and fearfully dull, so dull indeed
as to be no business at all. The merchant
looks wistfully out into the fctreet The
salesman wears a pained look, for his occu
pation is gone, and the book-keeper bal
lanccs himself aud reads uewspapers. The
West is not here, the South stays away,
and the North refuses to invest. The
theatres are losing money, the hotels are
well nigh empty, and the bar-keepers
mourn as those without hope. Ix;t us hope
for a revival.
ONE HUNDRED EDITORS,
all from the little State of Indiana, are in
the city at the present time, comfortably
quartered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
They have been to Cincinnati, Washington
and Philadelphia, and, after doing the me
tropolis, will go home to their respective
papers and grind out wisdom again. Gen
erally speaking they are a good-looking set
of men. They arc making a thorough
thiug of New York, and enjoyiug them
selves hugely.
THE WEATHER
is absolutely glorious. The rains have
gone, the voice of the organ-grinder is
agaiu heard in the streets, the air is balmy,
clear and bright, and everything looks as
beautiful as it can. The Spring is always
delightful in New Y'ork after the rains are
over. Now let busiuess come to the city
and it will beliappy. Come, merchants
with money, and buy. Make New York
glad. The chink of money and the rustle
of bank-notes should accompany the songs
of the birds in the Park, to make every
thing serene.

A WONDER TO HERSELF.
Tanktown, Delaware Co., ()., March 20,
1S73.
To Dr. R. V. Pierce :
Your Discovery needs only a fair trial
and it will do all you recommend it to do
and more too. When I was fifteen I caught
cold and for twenty-eight j-ears I have been
a perfect wreck of disease, and all the medi
cines and doctors' bills have run up at times
to two and three hundred dollars, and
never any better but worse, when I give up
all hoe last spring of living the summer
through. I received one of your Account
liooks and told my husband after reading
it that it was too late to try further, but he
said it was never loo late. He went and
bought two bottles and I found it was help
ing me very much. Since 1841 1 was trou
bled w ith CaUrrh and Sore Throat, and
was almost eutirely deaf in one ear aud my
voice was us dull as could be. There was
constant pain in my head. Now my head
is as sound as a dollar, my voice - is clear,
and I have used ten bottles of your Dis
covery. It has cured me of Catarrh, Sore
Throat Heart Disease, Spine A (lection and
Torpid Liver. My Liver was very bad.
My skin was rough. W hen 1 put my
hand ou my body it was like fish scales.
Now it is as smooth and soft as a child's.
In conslusion I will say I have been well
for three months. I am a wonder to my
self and friends. This is but an imperfect
statement, half has not been told.
Your's with respect,
