thf CoKosr.R of the Coistt, the Victim. mice to Hie opinion of the sage of the Dally, wc
(Mi Saturday morning last, as the engineer of j express imr objections to hi remarks in opposi
the breaker at Hickory Swamp Colliery, about : tion to t lie time honored practice of ushering
three miles from Shamkin, entered the engine j iu the New Year with an address from that well
room, he discovered the body of Frederick IIok
' ser, ilieniebt WHtchtnaii, with hi head beaten to
an unrecomiiZ'ih!e extenl . The body was (juite
j cold, bhowiuir that the deed had been co.ninittcd
j oinctiiiie durin;; the niht. A hatchet and a
: hieiioiy c'.i'.b were tound in tin engine room
stained with hlod, which, it is si;ipost.d, were
ti ted to commit lh. horrible, dce.1. H is thought
the attack was mam by several persons who had
noiseless! v ap;r:ic!i -d him in t!ie daik. The
.kull of his head Was broken, and a number of
wouuds about the head were made with a ham
mer and cluli, which no doubt c.m-ed his d-at'.i
iustautly. T!:c murder va not eoiuinitted for
the purjiose of rohliery, as all hit) ell'ects.evcn Lis
watch, were undisturbed. A Her the murder was
committed the fiends covered his body with his
coat, in which position he w js found in th- morn
ing. It is supposed that the deed Was commit
ted between the hours of nine and ten o'clock in
the evening. .Mr. Hesser had been in the habit
of regularly Mi lking the hour?, but no one iu the
vicinity heard the stiikin of the hour after nine.
Mr. ilesser was forty seven years ot ae, and
leaves a larj;e family. An inquest wa held over
the remains on Saturday, by Esquire Ca!dw.l!,of
Shunioki:i, tiud a verdict rendered that the de
ceased came to his death by blows at the hands
of persons unknown to the jury.
Mr. Hesser was a popular and amiable mat.,
with few or no enemies. He was well known
through the coal region, and highly esteemed by
ull. He was elected, in 1S72, Coroner of the
county, on the Republican ticket, and his term
j would have expired on January 1, 1STC.
The motive prompting this horrible murder
must have been reveiitre. Iu that region mur
der has become a science nuperior to the law, and
the day must come when the law must be discard
ed by law abidi-is citizen to effect that which the
law cannot accomplish, the conviction and exe
cution of every red handed villain known to be-lon-:
to the organization called Molly McGuiref.
The turn is feiuiiicuut of murder rot murder
for pain, but of that character which has its
origin in hate revenue. Mr. Hester was killed
for the reason that he acted as a prominent wit
ness iu the recent trial of tlribhon for murder,
who is uow servins a term of eleven years in the
penitentiary, and who was amemi'er of this mur
derous -rang ; he was a w'.tn'ss also in e:-vcral
similar cases. Tim people of Shamokin arc
phrenzied w ith excitement in regard to this mur
der, and have organized a number of committees
of search and iuves-tiation. In view of the fact
that in no instance, although murders are of dai
lv occurrence, has there been conviction and i
punishment, they consider the immediate lynch-
ing upon the apprehension of the parties con- j
cerned in this case, a necessary and i.gliteous
punishment. Until this organization is dclared
a band of outlaws obedient to no law ami pro
tected by none no man's life will be safe in the

so exteiiiive iu i's ramification as to be the terror

Tlir. editor ofth'- ) m...vuf a pears to be great
ly exercised about the Sealer of Weight and
Measures for this county. In his la-t issuo he
disilavs more ignorance about the matter than
we were willlug to concede tu him. Perhaps it j
is more maliciousness than ignorance. He may
have been iu want of something to bring again-t
the present board of Commissioners, and tries to
gull his readers with the idea that the Commis
sioners had made the appointment of Scaler f
Weights and Measures. He does not even kuow,
or seemingly such Is the case, that the appoint
ment is made by the Governor. If he will look
up the i:atter he will find that the creating of
that office was passed by a Democratic Legisla
ture, and thnt teveiul influential i r,,.,frmn
me uj.jter en ti gave no rest to the commi'siouers
until they purchased the instruments to carry
out the law. We find that the people generally
are salUficd with the exception of a lew w hose
scales were in such a condition that the purcha
sers of their products were constant losers. The
fees attached to this olllec w ill amount probably
to the enormous sum of about Cve hundred dol
lars, out of which all expenses will lie deducted.
Had our neighbor succeeded in having a Demo
crat apjio'inled to attend to the duties of that of
t!'c, he would have been the la-t man to give ex
pression against its existence, or S'iy aught

; known character, the 'Printer's Devil. Almost
! since the lirst newspaper was issued it has
been the custom for the youngest apprentice to
issue au annual address, and it seems to be as
impossible to break down the custom it is t'j
abolish old Stuitn ('.'ill', at the meiitiou of whose
name every little heart throbs with delight.
Vou'v been once a Printer's Devil, Jake, and
don't fancy revert with an exqniiito pleasure to
the lar distant past, when you made your annu
al round with the gladdening hope of being rc
wardrl with a goodly supply of the sjonlv!us.
pliame on you Jake : but this is just like you ;
the man who forgets his youth will forget his
friends and all the pleasant ways of life; he
will ! deceit tul even in politics.
The printer's d. vil, as he is generally termed,
though dinering considerably from that world-
ri'univ i dignitary, is generally of an ambitious
nature, and, frequently springing from that cias
who are not abundantly supplied with the 'needful.-
and who more fiequenly lack the common
comforts of iifc, starts at i.u early period in life
wUoiiy dependent upon ins exertions lor ins sup-
port. We seldom tind him dismayed although
hard knocks and impecuniosity arc his fare from
the commeiieeiuent to the termination of his de-
vilship, nt w hich period his well earned educa
tion tits him for almost any position of useful
ness or honor. His principal supply of the -tlidU-n,
as he terms it. during the early part of
his apprenticeship, is the result of his own inge
nuity, and the principal part of that supply is
the proceeds of his annual address. The few
peni.ics he receives from a subscriber for Lis ud
diess on the advent ot a new year, arc remem
bered by him as a starting point to fortune, and
he always considers that he has given as much
value for that which he receives, as docs the iten
irant book vender when he disposes of his book
at a stated price.
This custom -.ras abandoned a few years u go by
one of the hading pipers of Philadelphia, but the
following year the subscriber of that paper made
i demand for th.: annual address, deeming it
worth more than hey paid for it, as it contained
matter not published elsewhere, and they were
not willing to dispense with so rich a treat. Siuce
thou the custom ha been continued in that of
fice. The addresses of the newsboys of this office
arc furnished gratis, and they pocket the pro
ceeds. Our expenses vry often amount to more
than they receive. A contribution is always op
tional with the subscriber. Iu some offices, wc
regret to state, Ihe labor and material consum
ed are charged to the carrier, thus, in many m
stances, rendering his profits rather slim. This is
discouraging to the boy. We feel sorry that the
Ua'ihj of Wednesday's issue ignores this time ho
nored custom, as the carriers of the AnttrU-an aud
Guytlt have prepare! their addresses at conside
rable expense in labor, displaying great care and
skill in workmanship. To discourage the boys
in their efforts, it bad policy to say the least.
Lro Ampi tateii.-Mr. Johu Spears, living at
west end of Spurzhcim street bridge, sustained
a compound fracture of the leg above the ankle
in fall of lMiO, by a car passing over ii while he
was working at a colliery in Schuylkill county.
For a number of years he has been suffering se
verely from disease vt the b.-nes or the foot and
ankle, resulting from injuries received then, and
for the past two months h1' has been confined to
his bed, during the last two weeks of which he
has been attended by Dr E. S. Robins, who from
the first decided that the leg must be taken off.
After a time Mr. Spears consented nud accord
ingly, on Tuesday afternoon last, Or. Robins,
assisted by Dr. C. W. Weaver, amputated the
leg midway between the ankle and knee in a
most successful manner. The patient is doing
well aud it is hoped that in a few weeks he will
be able to be about again. Sharnvkia JlvraiJ.
