Dcti of Towksuip Officers. Those Inter
ested should not lose sight of the fact that a law
has been passed by the Legislature rcquiriug the
auditors of the several townships, boroughs and
cities, immediately after their annual meeting on
the first Monday in June, to advertise In oue or
more county papers, an itimized aunu.il state
ment of the receipts and expenditures of the bor
ough councils, road commissioners, supervisors,
overseers of the poor and school directors, for
the year preceding the annual settlciueut for
their respective districts. Said advertisements
are to be published within ten days after such
settlement ; and further, it shall be the duty of
said auditors to file a copy of the same with the
town clerk, in their respective districts, and also
with the clerk of quarter sessions, which will be
at all times subject to inspection by any citizen
thereof. Provided, that where two of said offices
shall be exercised by the same persons only one
statement shall be required. Also provided, that
nothing in this act shall be construed to interfere
with the present law, which requires annual
stateincuts of the receipts and expenditures of
the borough councils, road commissioners, super
visors, overseers of the poor and school directors,
to be udvertised in the daily and weekly news
papers published in the respective localities. For
neglecting or refusing to comply with this act
the auditors shall pay a fine of f 20, to be recov
ered by law, as debts of a similar amount are re
coverable, by snil instituted in the name of the
school directors on tho complaint as any tax
paying citizen. Said pcualty to be paid into the
school treasury of the district.
Scriuutx Cases. In the case f the County vs.

In the ease of Commonwealth vs. Henry Pei-
fcr, for rape ; affirmed the sentence of the Court
of this county. Petitions numerously signed
have been forwarded to the Governor for a par
don. A pardon in this case would no doubt be
just, as the subject is upwards of seventy years
of age, and close confinement would speedily
cud his life. The case was of such a nature as
to create much doubt respecting his guilt, and a
petition signed bv all the bar should have much
weight in convincing all that a pardon is justifi
able. We arc happy to note the rapid progress made
by the Suubury Cornet Band. The manner in
which they discourse music since they are being
instructed and led by Prof. Karl Kirchueris real
ly remarkable. Undir his tuition we feel confi
dent that the Band will ere long excel in profi
ciency, any Band around us. The Professor is
considered one of the best musicians in this part
of the country. The Band is composed of the
best material, and by his extraordinary talant as
a teacher, on decoration day their music was
considered by all as being equal to that of some
Bands which arc considered first class.

A Fracas is Jail. On Thursday of last week
Benjamin Tost, or "Blinker" Yost, imprisoned
for assault and battery, while playing a social
game of euchre in jail with other prisoners, made
an attack upon one of his comrades, breaking
his nose and otherwise shamefully maltreating
him. Tost is represented as a powerful man,
while his oppoueut is very light weight. The
other prisoners interfered and no doubt prevent
ed a serious affair. Dr. Krebs was called in who
et the broken nose, which, we have been told, is
a great improvement, as tbe man's nose had
been crooked, it is now made straight by this
operation.

Euglish scholars, once students under the Rev.
David Klrkpatrick, I). D., In the old Milton
Academy, will be held at Milton, on Tuesday,
the 15th day of July next, the number of such
scholars being about 300, of whom from 60 to
ICQ yet survive.
Danville must be a delightful place to spend
Suuduy, since the local option law reigns In that
county, judging from the following item in last
week's American, publUbed in that place :
"Disgraceful. On last Sunday, a party of
wild fellows, bent on sowiug some cross-grained
oats and utterly regardless of the local option
law, obtained a wagon, loaded on two kegs of
lager beer and proceeded down the river In the
vicinity of Nig Jones' residence. After enjoying
what they termed "a lively old time," and being
pretty thoroughly soaked with the juice of the
brewery, they started in on a square "knock
down." The reiiull was oue braken Jaw, bruised
limbs, blackened eyes, swollen faces, scratches
and sears Innumerable. This kind of jolly fun
can only be properly appreciated outside of from
25 to 50 glasses of beer, on a Sunday afternoon,
in a local option county and in the presence of
at least oue officer of the law.

We are pleased to learn that Pi of. Karl Kirch
ner, the talented teacher of the Suubury Cornet
Bund, contamplates making this place his future
home. We understand that he has already cho
sen a piere of of land whereon to erect a reti
dcuce. The Professor is a gsutleiuan of fine mu
sical talent as well as a scholar, and is deserving
of patronage in whatever business he may en
gage. The Mviituur AnerUan while sjieakiu; of the
judicial change the new Constitution has made
in that county, says: "While we all regret tbe
nacessky which compels us to part with Judge
Rockefeller, whose integrity and ability was es
teemed by all, yet we welcome to his seat a law
yer of equal ability a Judge of spotless charac
ter aid a man above reproach.
Si'roical Operation. The operation of the
resection upon the arm of Wm. Hinkle, of this
place, was performed on Monday last by Drs.
Alfred C. Clark, of this place, and Dr. R. B.
McCoy, of Northumberland. The arm was bro
ken about nine months ago, hut from some
cause failed to unite. Part of tbe bone had to be
taken off about half an inch, which was dead.
By proper care the man will have the full use of
his arm, though it will be somewhat shorter.

Decoration Dat. The beautiful and touching
ceremonies connected with the decoration of the
graves of our fallen heroes those noble men who
offered their lives as a sacrifice for the nation
were generally participated In by all classes of
our citizens, on Saturday the 30th of May. There
appears to be no abatement in the interest taken
in these annual services. The memory of our
dead soldiers is ever green iu the hearts of the
people, and when tbe holiday comes round, they
deem it a sacred duty to make fragrant their
graves by strewing them with the richest and
choicest flowers.
The day being fine, the streets of Suubury
were thronged at an early hour with citizenB and
strangers, to participate In the ceremonies of the

tin, and other distinguished gentleman, regret
ting their inability to be piesenl, were read by
Gen. Jno. K. Clement, alter which Gen. Clem
ent said in substance :
Fellow citizens , oue gentleman is absent to
day, kept away by the iniieratve demands of
public business, whom all have earnestly desired
to see. The Hon. John B. Packer has been anx
ious to be with his fellow citizens upon this oc
casou. His heart is here, and the enterpri.-e
now undertaken, will receive his cordial support,
in material aid and active effort. No man is
more anxious to see a substantial and lilting
Soldiers' Monument erected on this spot than
our Representative in Congress. Unable to be
here in jhtsoii, he has rent contributions in
choice flowers, wreathed, ami elaborately
wrought iuto forms of monuments, &c, ; and I
am instructed by my friends Mr. H. D. Wharton,
and Mr. ShUsler, who left Washington last night,
to say that, up until the very latet hour, Mr.
Packer had hoped to be here. He was at the de
pot in Washington at the time of the starting of
the night train to see these gentlemen, and to
request them to explain the causes which pre
vent his attendance a Session of an Important
Committee of which he is a member and wo all
know he is a working member. He desires that
his friends in Northumberland shall uuderstaud
how entirely his affections and sympathies be
long to his uative county. Her iuterests are pa
ramouut with his j and to this Soldiers' Monu
ment enterprise, lis gives his head, his heart, and
his blessing, lis is prevented from participating
iu their interesting ceremonies to-day, by most
positive requirements of public duty.
Gen. Clement was strongly urged by the as
semblage to proceed with his remarks, but he de
clined, stating that he would give way to his
friend, non. diss. S. Wolfe, who had been se
lected as orator of the day. Mr. Wolfe then de
livered the following address :
SPEECH OF MR. WOLFE.
A century and two years ago the comity of
Northumberland was brought into existence.
Lancaster, Cumberland, Berks, Northampton
and Bedford were her immediate progenitors.
Then her boundaries extended from tbe head wa
ters of the Delaware to tbe mouth of the blue Ju
niata from the Juniata to the head waters of
the West Branch. The east half of the bounda
ry between ours and the Empire State constitu
ted her northern border. From widely distant
points within her territory, the North and West
Branches of the noble Susquehanna flowed on for
miles through her domaiu, growing in breadth
and volume and majesty as they went, till eptcr-
iuir into an affectionate and perennial wedlock,
at this her still continuing seat of justice that
trrand old cliff, tbe "Blue Hill," standing an ever
i present, trusty and silent witness ami connnent
of the earliest gushiugs of their mutual love and
ever renewing embraces they then move arm in
arm with redoubled joy and grandeur to mingle
their waters with the mighty ocean. Old North
umberland was then the frontier county of the
State the beach upon which the tide of civiliza
tion ebbed and flowed, constantly advancing far
ther and farther like the billows of the ocean at
spring tide. Here and there sparsely dotted over
its surface, might have been seen, surrounded by
its little clearing, the log hut of the sturdy nud
adventurous pioneer, whom the fertile bottom
lands and valleys gradually rolling away to the
well-wooded hill aud mountain sides, bad seduc
ed to brave tbe dancers of this wilderness, inhab
ited by wily Red Men aud savage wild beasts.
How dearly some of them paid for their worthy
enterprise, the massacrees of Penu's Creek, Fort
Frecland, Wyoming, the "Big Runaway," and
the site of your good old Fort Augusta, so often
the refuge of your terror-stricken ancestors.strip
ped of all except their lives, it they could speak,
would abundantly attest.
Then, the roaring and sighing of the forest.the
screams of the wild beasts and birds of prey,and
the whoop of the Indian were all familiar sounds.
The ring of the woodman's ax. the "who-n" of
the ox-driver, and occasionally the tumbling
grist-mill, were the notes that heralded the ad
vance of a higher ciilization. Then the rivers
and creeks, with their batteanx and canoes, and
the cow-path, with horses and oxen, comprised
the facilities of transportation.
Then already a rich historic charm bad began
to cluster around tbe Old Town then designated
as its county seat. Here had stood the Indian
village of Shamokin, which the eucroachments
of the white man caused the Indians themselves
to reduce to ashes. Here the Chiefs of the Min
goes were wont to meet in council. Here had
dwelt the great and good Chief, Shickelemy, the
fast friend of the English. Here was an exten
sive Indian burying ground in which reposed ge
nerations of their ancestors.
After Shamokin had vanished into smoke and
ashes, on that bold bend of the river was Fort
Augusta built within one of its bastions was
constructed a substantial magazine, said to be
yet visible. Situated at the confluence of the two
great branches, it was one of the most impor
tant, as well as oue of the largest and strongest
frontier forts built in that gloomy period of our
history. In the language of its builder and com
mander, "this post was of the utmost conse
quence to the Province, and defensible against all
the power of musketry." It was the station
from which went forth armed expeditions to pro
tect the defenseless settlers in the region lying
beyond. It was the refuge where safety and re
lief was tnre to those who were so happy as to
reach it. It was the barrier beyond which the
wave of French and Indian warfare could not
roll.
Such was this county such Us county seat
when organized a century ago. But the dan
get s and privations of a frontier life, tbe bard
and unremitting toil, the constant terror, the
burning of houses and crops, the slaughter of
loved ones by the tomahawk and scalping knife,
French invasion, the bitter title warfare with the
Connecticnt settlers all these accumulated Ills,
enough to crush the stoutest heart and break an
iron will, did not fill up the measure of trial en
dured by its inhabitants.
The mother country from whom they asked
protection, gave iustca'd thereof the heavy 'stone'
of oppression. Ground were they, indeed, be
tween the upper and the nether mill stone. But
stout hearts like theirs can never fail. That love
of Liberty that drove them from their native
land Into the bowling wilderness, strengthened
and intensified by the strong attachments twin
ing around this, their adopted land, where all
was pure and free as God's own air and sunlight,
kindled in their breasts with redoubled fervor.
To resist the heel of oppression was to them, if
anything, a higher duty than to help roll on the
car of progress. History tells us that, "when
the Declaration was beiug signed in Philadel
phia, the settlers ou the plains above Pine Creek,
then within her borders, were adopting resolu
tions absolving themselves from all allegiance to
Great Britain, and declaring thciuelver atul
indejKndeiU." When the old bell proclaimed in
thunder tones, to the citizens of Philadelphia
that the Colonies were independent, the shout of
liberty went up from the bank of fine Creek, and
resounded along the base of Bald Eagle Moun
tain. Though sadly needed to defeud their
homes airainst the incursions of the hostile In
dians, promptly at their country's call, are Capt.
Lowden s seventy Nortiiumoeriana uounty itine-
mcn found on the heights at Bostou. Soon Cnpls.
Gray, Buyers, and Brady, with their brave and
patriotic Northuuiberlanders, lend their aid and
peril their lives in defense not of home,
not of county, not of Slate, but in defense
of all of these a common country. Nor did
they cease to sacrifice their lives, or falter in
their devotion, till with the fall of Yorktowa the
glorious Stars and Stripes Banner of Liberty
emblem of the American Union floated in tri
umph over a nation weak and exhausted, but in
fiict, free and indeiteMeut.
Let us now shift the scene and cast a hasty
glance upon the wondrous changes of a century.
Old Northumberland, ciniiio: a numerous and
noble ancestiy, Is to-day the mother of twenty-
eight as beautiful, faithful, industrious and
thrifty offspring as can be found among the six-tv-six
sister counties of this Commonwealth.
Luzerne, Lycoming, Columbia and Union are
her issue of the "whole blood" the last two Unn
children. Mifflin, Centre and Clearfield, her is
sue of the "half blood." or tuese again twenty
one prosperous counties arc the lineal descend
ants. Like a wise aud affectionate parent, she
has divided her possessions among her children,
thereby makiug herself as well as them tbe rich
er and more happy. Now an Indian within her
borders would be a curiosity. Like their lavo
rite hunting grounds, they have all passed away.
Art has transformed her torcsl trees iuto the hab
itations of a dense and thriving population into
furnaces, factories, schools, chur.-hes, and into
countless machines and implements that minis
ter to the com toil and happiuess of man. Tbe
soil whereon they grew, now parceled out into a
myriad of farms, under the skillful culture of ci
vilized man, yields in rich abundance the golden
grain, and luscious fruits, that so bountifully re
ward the patient and well directed toil of their
producers. The whiz of the circular saw, the
planing mill and turning lathe have banished the
echo ot ike woodinaa's axe. The whoop of the
Red Man, as he took the war path, Is superced
ed by tbe whooping of the locomotive, as it rush
es along through our valleys, on its iron track
the creature, at ouce, bearer of the fruits of
Peace.
Great, indeed, has been the change a century
has wrought upon the rtrjici of this grand old
county ; but would we see still greater changes
aud learn what agencies have, in the hand of
man, largely contributed to this miraculous Im
improvemeut, we must peer beneath the surface
we must penetrate the innmnurable mines that
have already yielded millions of wealth, and in
which millions yet remain we must traverse
shafts, the gang-ways and drifts that the palittul
toil of the daring miucr has cut out we must
gaze upon :he vast deposits of coal ana iron
those great material civilizers of the world that
ail All-wise aud Beuiticieiit Providence had hid
away till His own good time had come to make
them known.
Such was Northumberland county a century
ago such is she to-day. Rich iu a Fcore of
children counties. Rich in the extent and quali
ty of her still remaining lands. Rich in her
river and mountain scenery. Rich in her coal
and iron. Rich in her schools and churches.
Rich iu historic memories. But tier most pre
cious jewels, like Cornelia's, are her noble and
patriotic sons, who have made and kept her
what she is. It was they, who at the fearful
sacrifice of the comforts of home, the savage
butchery of friends, and the loss of their own
lives, purchased fornsthis beautiful land. Their
hands helped to clear away the rubbish of a rude,
a barbarous civilization, und lay thereon the
foundations ol institutions thul have giown to
lie the wonder aud the admiration of the world.
Their lives helped to buy the priceless boon of
Liberty secured and made enduiiug by that
glorious and growing Union of States, to which,
cemented by their blood, we owe our prosperity
and safety at home and consideration and digni
ty abroad. How tieculiarly fitting then, that
such a county, with such a history, antedating
that of the republic itself, with such noble sons,
evr ready to sacrifice their lives in the cause of
country should, ou this historic spot, erect a
monument to the memory of those who freely
;ave their lives to preterm that Uuion under
whose fostering care we have grown to be what
we arc to-day. As if the jealous and patriotic
spirits of their fathers had come back to earth
and taken on the form and vigor and beauty of
youth their gallant sons rushed forth at the
first terrible alarm that boamed on Sumpler's
walls, to save the maguificcnt and costly fabric
of the American Union, within whose walls the
precious jewel of Liberty was enshrined. That
sacred structure, reared at such a fearful cost of
blood and treasure, must not be ruthlessly and
wantonly destroyed. Though it was the hand of
brothers that assailed it, their frantic and wick
ed purposes must not prevail, '.ike the Ark of
Coveuant, to lay impious hand on it was at the
peril of their lives. Never did heart of Crusader
bum with more holy zeal, intense devotion and
determined resolution to rescue tbe Holy Sepul
chre from the grasp of infidels ! Behold, the tire
of righteous indignation kindless in their eyes.
Behold the love of country heaving in their
breaBts. Behold the compressed lips, only re
laxed to bestow a loving kiss or tender smile on
dear ones from whom they are about to separate,
perhaps to meet no more on earth. How prompt
ly and cheerfully they bade adue to all the en
dearing attachments of home ! With what hero
ic fortitude they bore the hardships of the camp,
the hospital, the long and painful march, and
the bloody battle field. Northumberland ! On
the first battle field of this fierce and fratricidal
war, thou didst offer one of thy noble sons a sac
rifice upon his country's altar) At Bull's Run
the brave and patriotic Cameron fell. '1 be gal
lant "Highlander" in whose veins ran the blood
of that race whose swords had flashed in every
war from Bannockbiirn toCulloden, met tbe foes
without fear and without reproach. Thus does
the poet tell his patriotic valor and his undaunt
ed death :
"When tbe old tbig 'mid clouds of danger flew,
Aud round it gathered runny a threat 'uing horde,
His cuuutrj cailed ; full well her voli he knew,
And eager thru, be buckled ou bia sword.
He fell aa herue fall among tbe brave.
When mighty lineti were crashing in their ire,
When battle rolled its ml and human wave
Against a fatal wall of steel and lire.
He fell as heroes fall tbe foe before,
Tbe plaids aud tartans rushing ou behind,
Tbe country banner proudly streaming o'er,
Like a bright met or through the murky wind !
His requiem was the wr of gun ; tbe shot
Made uiusip 'round him with avenging sleet ;
Ah ! happy, doubly happy was the lot
Of him who died uuuouatiioui of defeat,
So let him sleep in peace ; his faith is proved !
His deathless spirit, bia uncouquered will
Shall hover 'round tbe banner which he loved
Aud lead the hosts of right to triumph still."
Not less patriotic, not less heroic were scores
of those who (in full companies) went from this
county to the seat of war. Lack of time and
want of acquaintance prevents me from giving
even a passing personal notice of those whose
services and sacrifices richly merit, and gladly
would receive at my humble lips the highest and
most glowing eulogies they might be able to
pronounce. But I do know, if not the name, if
not the lineage, if not the company or regiment,
I do know, and pathetically and with glowing
words of eloquence could I command them
would I recall to your remembrance the devoted
patriotism, the chivalrous daring and patient
self-denial of the private soldier. Would you
know what he has done what he has sacrificed
for country ? Let me recall those little squads
of returnlug veterans, with scarred aud sun burnt
faces, that but a little while before went forth to
battle in companies a hundred strong ! How
eloquently do speak their decimated rauks ! But
where are the absent ones I Let their scattered
gravi;s throughout this county, made premature
by the hardships aud exposures of a soldier's
life let the broad Potomac, the majestic Missis
sippilet Charleston Harbor, Lookout Mouutaiu,
Richmond, Fredericksburg. Autletnm. the Wil
derness and Gettysburg be tbe silent but emphatic
witnesses.
Sorrowing friends and surviving comrades may
not have been permitted to strew the beautiful
flowers of spring upon their graves to-day. Thty
may be not even marked with the sad word, but
be in fact, "unknown." But nature wi'.l herself
perform the rites denied us :
When Spring with dewy fingers cold,
Hetarna to deck their hallowed mould.
She there ball dress a sweeter sod
Thau Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy bands their knell is rung
By forms unseen the dirge is snug ;
There honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless tbe turf that wraw their clay ;
And freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell a weeping, hermit, there.
But to the blessed memory of all the sons of
Old Northumberland who died to save the Union
whether their bones repose iu this ttyir native
soil.or on some distant field are laid the founda
tions of this monument. Not that we hope
thereby to add one title to their Glory or to per
petuate their fame but we do hope, that, so
long as these foundations shall endure, they
shall continue to awaken such memories in the
living, as shall keep the fires of patriotism burn
ing on the altars of their hearts and Intensify
their devotion to the Union, making them ever
jealous, vigilant and ready to preserve its integ
rity, promote its Honor and usefulness and ex
tend its Fame.

BtrnsBD to Death. A small child of a Mr.
Cleaver, residing in this borough was burned to
death on Saturday afternoon last. It appears
that several boys had built a brush Are in the
rear of the lots and a short time after they had
left, the unfortunate child was attracted ty the
fire, aud strayed iu that direction and through
some cause or other its clothing caught and the
child burnt so badly that it died almost imme
diately. Boys should be taught by this sad les
son that such work is very dangerous not only
to property but life also. Shtvnokin Time.
A Mohei. PicTfiiE. Mr. Geo. Bartlett has
just completed one of the finest photographs it
has ever been our lot to see. His subject was
that of a small boy, son of Lloyd Rohrbach, of
Sunbury. The picture Is life size 22x27 and
is really a model. To look at it oue would thiuk
that all that was necessary would be speech.
The picture was ou exhibition at the post office
several days this week and attracted considera
ble attention. We understand that Mr. Bartlett
has several other orders for the same size picture
from parties residing in this place. Mr. B. is
undoubtedly a first-class artist and is deserving
of patronage. .Shamokin Timet.

D. F. Beattt, oue of the Parlor Organ manu
facturers from Washington, N. J., spent a short
time in Sunbury last week. He reports their
organs are selling rapidly and supercedins others,
and says that those who have purchased organs
from them uie highly pleased.
We would call the attention of our readers to
the advertisenunt of Horace Waters & Son,
baded, "Waters' Concerto Parlor Organs," and
for a description of them we can't do better than
to copy the following :
A New Featlre i Okgans Wateks' Con
certo Pahuir Organ. The great merit of tbe
concerto stop is, that it approximates nearer
than other to the human voice. If we avert the
attention from the instrument while this delicate
addition is being ojierated, the impression is in
stantaneous that it is to the human voice under
exquisite culture that we listen. Of course the
origin of this improvement, and the exact man
ner in which its advantages have been made so
prominent iu this organ, are known to the paten
tee alone; but we doubt if the inventor can
make it plain why the direct result has occurred.
Tbe effect of the concerto attachment is simply
softening und voloalizlng. It seems to catoh a
note that might have been shrill or reedy, and
at once soothe it into somothing as sweet and
musical as a human whisper. Tho writer was
informed by Mr. Waters that ou account f the
popularity "of the new stop, tbe instruments were
lought np almost as rapidly as it was posible
to manufacture them. Brooklyn I'nwu.
How to Save Monet. Miss Caroline Dalius,
Market Street, Sunkury, Is sclliuif the Golden
Tongue Organ, six stops, for 100 Dollars. This
Organ is being sold by Beatty .t Plott for from
One Hundred and Twenty-Five to Two Hundred
Dollais, Just as they can find buyers. She is
selling first class Organs also as to defy competi
tion, and is also selling the very best sewing ma
chines In use. Call aud see her.
At thirty-five the average Americuu discovers
that he has an "Infernal stomach," and goes
iuto the hands of the doctors for the remnant of
his life. Prevention la better than cure, but Dr.
Walker's Vinegar Bittors will both cure and
prevent dyspepsia, diseases of the skin, liver,
kidneys, aud bladder, and all disorders arising
from an "infernal stomach."
Pimpi.es, BivOtcues and other unsightly erup
tions of the skin, should be gotten rid of as
quicklvas possible. Dr. Wishart's Pine Tree
Cordial will remove all such things by purifying
tbe blood. The most severe cases of scrofula are
cured by this great family medicine.
"A Wonder of Medical Science," may well
be applied to Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cher
ry. It is nearly half a century since this remark
able remedy was introduced to the public, and
yet the immediate and enviable reputation which
it gained by Its wonderful cures of coughs, co'.ds,
hooping cough, sore throat, influeuza, consump
tion, and all briuchial complaints, is to this day
fullv sustained.
