Dn. PniEKTi.EY and Oxygen. We last week
gave a biographical sketch of the life of Dr.
Pries.tley, the discoverer of Oxygen. Since then
the Philadelphia Ye gives the same sketch in
substaucc, and concludes as follows iu relation
to the great discovery, and the eminent man to
whom science owes so much :
"Wc have purposely omitted from the forego
ing sketch of his lile any mention of the great
discovery which has won for Priestley undying
fame the discovery of oxygen gas. This de
mands separate notice, and we only regret that
such notice must of necessity be brief. Up to
his time the belief was uuiveisal that atmosphe
ric air was a homogeneous and iindecompi8Ab!e
body, and that nil gaseous substances were mere
ly atmospheric air ia a vitiated form. It was
this vast illusion, which any schoolboy now
would lau"b nt, but which then obtained
throughout the entire philosophic world, that
Priestly with the clear light of scicntilic search
effectually dispelled. Flowine from his first
discovery, he made the second of scarcely less
importance that atmospheric uir deprived of its
oxygen by being taken into the luugs is whang
ed by the. introduction into it of any veg. table
matter ou which is allowed to act the ravs of the
snn. That is, he discovered the great law of na
ture which makes the life of animals and the
life of plants mutually dependent. No greater
scientific discovery than this has ever been made.
N'ewtou's of the law of gravity being aloue its
peer. Chemistry, metaphysical physiology at
best but a jumble of words and even medicine,
were completely overturned and started afresh
upon a new basis, w hile an impetus was given to
scientific investigation that has lasted out a full
century, and which during that time, so far from
diminishing, has steadily increased in force.
The coming first day of August will be the cen
tennial anniversary of Priestley's great discove
ry, and on that day the chemists of America will
assemble at Northamlcrland, at Priestley's
tomb to do honor to hU memory. Meet is it
that such a gathering should be, meet thai his
merit should be recognized ; not that the ashes
in the grave by the Susquehanna will he the bet
ter or worse for such honor being done them, but
that we ourselves, who are intellectually stron
ger and wiser for the great discovery which
Priestley made, may thus fitly evidence our gra
titude to him as, unconscious of our homage, he
there sleeps nutil the day when he will waken iu
"eternal bappiucss."

- Arrested rou Fishing on St'NDA Y. On Sun
day last, Harry Gurr, known as the "Man Fish"
attached to Coles' show, went to the dam to
fikh with hook aud line. Information of the fact
was given before Esquire Brice by Charles. Lan
dau, and Mr. Gurr was arrested by constable
Wm. Bright, and taken before the justice named
who imposed a flue. The flue, constable and
justices' fees amounted to 50.-10. Mr. Gurr is
very much of a gentlemen, mid having a mania
for fishing he fished unwittingly against the laws
of the State, he being a native of Michigan. He
paid his flue. Whether the justice had a right
to give a hearing in the case ou the Sabbath, has
raised a question of law which is not yet decided.
We are happy to see, however, that Mr. Landau
has at last manifested a moral zeal for the ob
servance of the Sabbath, and hope he will here
after prove to the community the sincerity f bis
motives. A future leformation iu Charles, ol
which this seems to be au outcropping, will be
beneficial to himself and the community. This
is the first arrest made, that we cau hear of, not
withstanding that fishing is a common practice
ou the Sabbath.

Ai'i'iiiMEii. Thomas D. Grunt, of this place,
well and favorably known throughout the coun
ty, has been appointed Teller of the First Na-
,:1(I1;li Bank of Sunbury, in the place of Mr. Tut
tic resigned. Mr. Turtle's resignation took place
several weeks ago who returned to his native
Stale, Vermont, to enter into other business.
While serving as Teller of the Bank, he made
many warm friends. As a business man and a
gentleman of the highest character, he has but
few equals. We an- happy to see that the Bank
has secured the services of Mr. Grant, a gentle
man well qualified for the position, aud w hose
wide reputation as a man of integrity, will prove
advantageous to that popular institution.
False Alarm. A false alarm of fire was
raided on Monday niirht hy a few young men,
who wish to be classed among the "high toned,"
or "first class society," but w ho evidently had
been enjoying the glories of intoxication, and
the charms of midnight revelry. Such alarms
have an injurious effect, as our firemen, by being
deceived a few times, may some time not heed
an alarm .when they arc required. We hope that
a full investigation will lie made, and the guilty
parlies punished.
Rumor connects the Good intent FireCoiupauy
with the false alarm, but we are authorized by
the officers of said company and its best mem
bers, to state that they arc oppased to all snch
rowdyism, aud if, ou investigation, any of its
members are guilty, they are in favor of censur
ing and suspending them.
There are no new developments respecting

M i'rder at Shamokin. It appears that the
death of Nautsey Deltman, noticed in our last
issue, as having been caused by falling through
a bridge, is an error. The jury of inquest ren
dered a verdict 'that he came to his death from
wounds ou the head, iuflictcd by some sharp in
strument in the hands of some person or per
sons unknown to the jury.' The Shamokin
Tim? of lasjwcek says :
"Murder is becoming a thing quite too com
mon iu our borough of late, and the utmost
should be done to ferret out aud punish the guilty
party or parties. Mr. Dcitman, who was found
near the railroad bridge last Wednesday morn
ing, with his head horribly ' crushed, could not
possibly have so injured himself by falling a dis
tauee of four feet, and although the valuables
on his person were fouu.l to havo been untouch
ed, which, though it may prove that money was
not the object of the murder, yet, it should be
remembered that there arc other incentives to
blood-shed, eveu more powerful than gold : envy
and malice often go baud iu ham! to take the
life of their victim ; and as wo said before, so
wc repeat, let everything be done to bring the
guilty party or parties to light ; let the thing be
sifted to the bottom and the mystery cleared ;
let a reward be offered, and detectives employed
to investigate the matter; in fact let nothing bs
undone to uneaitli and clear up the prescut mys
tery. If the matter is allowed to rest w ith the
vedict of the jury, what citizen is safe? he may
fall by the hand of the assassin, either for gold
or malice, and his murderer, know ing that little
or no effort will bejnade to ascertain the cause
by which his victim met his death, feels eecure,
and under this cloak of scent it y may select ano
ther victim. Let the authorities make the late
murder for murder is the verdict the jury rcu-
dcrcd a test case ; let it be shown that all mys
terious deaths trill be inquired into, and that no
means will lie. spared to bring the guilty to a
speedy justice, and murders in the community
will be greatly decreased.
Cole's Cmns, on exhibition at this place on
Saturday, was well attended both iu the aftcr
noou and evening. The performances were very
fair : some of the feats performed were marvel
lous in the extreme. Among the prominent
features of the show was the double 6oniersault
over fifteen horses by Mr. Batchelder. The mc
uagcrie is not extensive, but wc noticed some
very rare and expensive animals. The show
was accompanied with the usual number of side
shows, which are, without exception, a great
nuisance, as they are generally nothing more than
gambling dens. We would advise all showmen
if they wish to keep up a reputation, to dispense
with them. Several persons on Saturday, who
evidently were unacquainted with all the 'tricks
that arc vain,' were relieved of their cash on
hand through the game of 'three card monte' iu
the side tents, which we presume constituted
part of the exhibition of the fat and lean wouiau.
Tiekpockcts also perambulated the grounds, and
exercised the 'lightfingcrcd skill' on a few per
sous from the country. A more roughish look
ing crew, outside of the managers of this circus,
never visited the placa. The bad behaviour of its
attachecs has produced a prejudice against the
establishment. During both exhibitions the
lookout was of rather an unpleasant character
to peaceable citizeus, as a collision between our
native roughs and those of the circus was mo
mentarily expected. On their departure we are
informed, the. aggrieved parties of our place
hurled stones at the cars, w hich were returned
by pistol shots from I lie occupants. A lady be
longing to the show was hit and slightly injured.
Such conduct must be condemned by every well
disposed person, and e trul that iu future a
sufficient number of jKiliceuieii such as are not
afraid to do their duty will be put in authority, j
and the miscreants mi both sides arrested and I
punished.
-A voung girl from
A Case or "Detention.
Selinsgrove, was "circus struck" to such an ex
tent that she not only came to Sunbury on Sat
urday to witness the performance In Cole's show,
but she remained all Saturday night in the vici
nity. On Sunday afternoon it was discovered,
upon search being made for her by her brother,
that she was still on the ground, with her head
quarters iu a circus wagon, the key of which
was carried by a showman, but the door was fre
quently uulocked each time, it is supposed, by
a different person to see that she was safe and
comfortable, nnd not suffering for anything.
When her whereabouts was discovered, two of
her keepers were sjiotted, aud a warrant procur
ed for their arrest, but they "smelled a mice"
and fled, previously taking their darling and hid
ing her in a railroad car. Here she was disco
vered, and soon restored to her anxious brother.
'1 he youug woman was sulisequenlly brought
before 'Squire Brice by Charles Landau, in order
to procure her information against the 'whole
show,' which, for some reason, Charles wanted
to have "slopped" but the 'Squire w isely con
cluded that this could not be done. The young
womau alleged that she was compelled to 6icep
under a tree iu a field near the circus grouud,
as she couldn't get away lieeause the villains who
detained her were watching her from a dintanre
and was unable to get away iu any direction.
Jaily of Monday.
An Eel and Catfish Supper, was served up at
Dr. Jeffries' European Hotel, on Third Street, on
Tuesday evening last, to the Doctor's numerous
friends. Those present pronounced it one of the
"Docs" best of ma uy successful efforts, aud w e
judge from this that the affair stood Itigh-ttj) iu
the suierlative degree. The Eurocan is widely
known for its good fare, from which its popula
rity originates. The editor of the Mily looks
exceedingly fat since then. Your tal;e Jake must
have been extraordinarily fat on the occasion.
We received from our corresondeiit "C." of
Ilerndon, a letter giving an account of the Uni ni
Sunday School pic nic at Port Trevorton, ou Sa
turday tins 25th. The Sunday school at Hcru
don joined with that of Port Trevorton. The
former is oue of the largest iu the lower end of
this county. The Selinsgrove Band discoursed
excellent music on the occasion and a general
good time was had by the scholars and teachers
who were iu attendance iu large numbers:
The correspondent ulso speaks very highly of
Hon. J. B. Packer, and hopes he w ill eotiecht to be
re-uoiiiiiiated as he w ill receive a larger vote thau
ever iu that section of the county. He also
hopes to see Amos Vastiuc renominated for coun
ty Commissioner, as he is uudoubtedly the most
popular man for that office if! that end of the
county. The want of room compels us to omit
the communication.
A NEAT fence has been pu; up around the

The Court House clock is not up to time, nor
lias it been for some time past. This is not only
wrong but an aunoyanee." The clock is an ex
cellent one, and should be in good hands. Why
the Commissioners do not take charge of it them
selves is a in) stcry. It is the property of the
county a part and parcel of the Court House
itself, as much so as the Court House bel', the
chaiu'aliers, or any other fixtures of the build
ing. By what authority the borough council
have the clock wc have never learned. They
might with the same propriety take out of the
hands of the Commissioners the ringing of the
bell and lighting of the Court House, and keep
the furnaces iu operation iu cold weather in
fact appoint the Janitoi or supphiHt him by an
appointment of their own. Wc have au excel
lent and competent board of Commissioners, aud
why they should permit the council to usurp
their powers, and control their property, needs
explanation. Hie clock should be kept as a
standard of time, as it was designed to be, and
the Commissioners have no appendage belonging
to the Court House more valuable, or worthy of
their care and protection.
Tub grape crop, wc regret to say, will be, in
some places nt least, a partial if not a total fail
ure. Until recently they promised well, but
within the last few days the rot has affected
them most severely. We understand Mr. Young
man has thus far lost about the half of his crop
estimated at twelve or fourteen tons. Dr. Eys
ter's vineyard is also very much affected. In re
gard to the vineyard of Mr. II. B. Masser wc
have us yet heard nothing.
Tnr.RK is an effort being made to organize a

I curing rowing boats and raising a fund for con

Died in His Waoon. Nathan Block, a tin
pcdlcr from Danville, was found dead in his
wagon in Cornelius Emerick's yard, a few miles
above Northumberland, by Mr. John Miller, be
tween six and seven o'clock, ou Monday evoning
last. Mr. M. B. Priestley, Esq., was notified of
the case and summoned the following jury to
hold the inquest : Abram Ycager, A. C. Simji
son, Wm. B. Stoncr, Joseph Shrefller, Henry
Walbcrn aud Joseph S. Diehl.
Johu Miller, bworn Says he had known dee'd
about 15 years ; had been to work ; come home
about C o'clock ; found deceased at my house ;
said he had been there about two hours ; said he
would drive his wagon into Cornelius Emerick's
barn aud put i;p his horse and come back and
take supper with mc and stay all night dee'd
seemed to lie in perfect health ; was checrfU! and
talked and acted as though he was in good
health. Cornelius Emcrick lives but a few rods
from me; deceased got into his wagon and
drove into Emerick's yard ; he asked mc to put
a block under the wheel as the ground was slop
ing ; I did so and on hxiking up I saw that de
ceased's head had dropped nearly or quite to hU
knees; it alarmed mc and I spoke to him, hut
he luadcine no answer. I climbed into the wa
gon, lifted him np he gave two or three gu.-ps
and died without a struggle.
The above statement was corroborated by
Cornelius Emcrick. Xorlhumberliitul Pi;ns.
A Narrow Escape euom Drowning. Ou
Saturday last while Mrs. Henry Miller and her
two sons, of Wiufield, were being ferried ncross
the river at the Dry Valley ferry, the flat bciug
crowded beyond its capacity, they remained iu
the buggy, and when about in the middle of the
stream the horse backed overboard and the occu
pants of the buggy made a narrow escape from
drowumg especially one of the boy, who was al
most gone when picked out of the water, and
had it not been for a boat which the ferryman
keeps alongside of the flat the boy's life could
not have been saved. Mrs. Miilcr and the other
boy were with great trouble got ton out of the
water. The horse was also saved. Mrs. M. and
her sons had attended the market at this place
on the above day and were on their w ay home
when the accident occurred.
To prevent another occurrence of this kind we
would advise the proprietor of the ferry to put
np chains on his flat. They would insure the
safety of people who are obliged to remain iu
their vehicles while being carried across the
stream at that place. XorthnmherbtHtl Vw.
Attempted Abduction. Early last Sunday
evening, two little girls, daughters of Daniel
Frank, living on Church street, were walking
out near their home, when they were met by
some fiend who endeavored to carry one of the
children off. The scicams of the other brought
assistance, and the villian dropped the child aud
left. lie was pursued some distance but bciug
fleet footed escaped. Had the street lamps been
lighted at the time, he might have been appre
hended. We surely need more police force ; if
our children are not safe to walk out iu the cool
of the evening, but must fear some awful out
rage, the sooner the force is augmented the bet
ter for the safety of the people and the good
name of our city. I.ork liven Uepvhlitnn.

Oi k Iron Works. We understand the work-
i men in the Pennsylvania Iron Works Inn er.n.
eluded to accept the reduction of ten percent.
to commence on the first of August. At this
reduction the wages of employees will run from
$1.10 per day to $2.75, according to the class of
work upon which they are engaged. At these
figures the proprietors hope to keep" the works
ill constant operation. The demand foi rails
scents to be increasing, but not at prices to com
Dcusalc manufacturers. The highest prices of
fered is $54 per ton at the in. 11, w hich any of the
employees, by a little calculation, will see does
not leave much margin even at these low wages.

About two week ago we noticed iu our Issue
the appearance of an apparently crazy man with
a child about 13 months old in his arms. He was
arrested, and after an examination of the case
he was discharged upon the strength of his state
ment which was considered phiusjblc. That he
should have been detained, aud the child provid
ed for, is shown by the sequel of the following
dispatch :
Hichmond, !., July 2iJ. Detectives Knox
and John Wren this evening arrested an appa
rently crazy man on the charge of being a sus
picious character. When taken lothe station
house lie gave the name of Myron Lazyre, of
Watertown, N. Y., and said he left there with
his little child to go to Dayton, Ohio, some three
weeks ago, stopping in Baltimore. That when
he reached White Suiphur Springs, in West Vir
ginia the child was taken sick and died, and he
then changed his route nnd arrived in this city
on Thursday, bringing the corpse of the child
with him, w hich, ou a certificate of a doctor at
the Springs, was allowed to be buried in Holly
wood cemetery. His contradictory statement
regarding himself aud his movements, gave rise
for a time to a vague suspicion that he might be
implicated iu the Philadelphia child abduction
ease. This, however, is scarcely possible, as he
say the child that was buried here was only ten
months old. The body of the child will be dis
iuterrej to-morrow, and a post mortem exami
nation will be made. .

Foolish. The Suubiiry Wy says : First law

Wc never knew gravity to be governed by
by more than one law which is the law of gravi
tation. If any one else knows let him speak:
the Jaily's poor authority. We saw this gravity
joke in two issues of the Daibi, from which we
supose him to be pretty well jdcateil with his wen
jokes, thus violating (hi tecund law of gravity
w hich he seeks to establish. 'Twill be some lime

The candidates are lively and appear to make
Sunbury their headquarters. Dr. J. J. John, of
your town, is spoken of as a candidate for the
Legislature from the lower end. He will run
well in this vicinity, for no man stands higher
thau the doctor. Sunbvry Corretjmndeht of S7ii
nsokin Herald.
If the doctor cau be prevailed on to be a can
didate for the Legislature, it will undoubtedly
be that the otllcu is seeking the man. He has
all the requisites to make a good legislator, and
all who know him, know he is not only compe
tent, but also honest, and would do honor to his
parly and the office.

J. Y'oungniHu's Improved Slide
Valve for Stationary aud L or o mo
tive Engine.
HAVING within the last few years completed
the luvention of a Sleam Slide Vale design
ed for the purposed of rcmoviug the pressure
from the valve as it exists at pesent, we will
warrant for six mouths and place one in any Lo
comotive, any Ocean Steamer, any Inland Stea
mer or any other stationary engine. It is simple,
cheap, effective aud Indestructable ; and saves
fuel and machinery. It moves its weight only.
No alteration in any part of the machinery is re
quired to apply it, and the time occupied in snb
stituting it for the ordinary 'D' valve need not be
over half an hour.
yT"It is indispensable at the miucs where hoist
ing is done. With this valve the engine can be
reversed without shntting off the steam, thus
saving time and avoiding labor. This valve can
be movel easily with one hand when surrounded
bv any amount of pressure. Address
