ThB Danvilln Intelligencer, in noticing tiiat an
other murderer has escaped from the rickctty
jail at Sunbury, says :
This man, John Flynn, after a long trial, was
convicted of murder in the second degiee, aud
scnteuced to tea years imprisonment, yet the ve
ry first ni'lit alter, he picks the lock and de
parts. Now who is answerable for this mau's
escape? Some will nay the Sheriff, which to a
certain extent may be true ; but he is not half so
autweruble as the Commissioners of Nonhum
hciland county, who provide such a prison. It
is about time for ths press to Me.ik out aclus..
such a ccudilion of things. We read daily of
murders being conimille'i, of banks iud private
houses in the interior towns aud throughout llie
country b,-injr robbed by the most desperate of
men, wlio if caught, Iaugii at me oi uen-s
held in tlie weak and insecure jails to be found in
most of the counties of the Commonwealth which
never c:m hold such characters unless the She
riff stands watch with a loaded pistol. And
while on the subject, we know of no jail in a
worse condition than the Jail in this county. It
cau"t hold, for some time never has held, any
desperate character who desired to escape, unless
the Sheriff hobbled aud chained him to the floor.
A Phantom Hop. On the evening of the 27lh
ult., a phantom hop was indulged in by our
friends of Shamokin, in Kut goer's Hall. The
Time says :
"About eighty guests were in attendance, and
when this large convocation moved off in the
Grand March all costumed in habiliments of
spotless white and masked to correspond they
presented the appearance of au animated grave,
yard coming forth iu response to a summons for
spirits from the vasty deep. As soon as the 3lt.
Carmel string band btruck up one of its liveliest
airs, these ghostly apparitions began to move
about with an activity that was in striking con
trast with the way in which we had seen well
trained ghosts perform in heavy tragedy. Pro-peily-broughten.up
ghosts always stalk about
with a deliberate, thirty-six inch step, aud talk
In supulehral tones ; but these phantoiuic beings
were nimble in their movements, and when they
did talk their voices were entirely unlike the
steamboat utterances of a theatrical spectre.
At the expiration of an hour, orders were given
to these materialised spirits to form in line aud
unmask. A rotund phantom advised us, in Teu
tonic dialect, to "guck aniohl now for t siinlich
sphoss," and the laughter aud merriment that
raug through that hall confirmed his predictions.
Dancing continued until a late hour. Among
those w hom we noticed as especially adept iu
tripping the light fantastic toe were Mr. aud Mrs.
Andy Reese of Sunbury, Mrs. Helm, Mrs. Bea
ton Smith, Mrs. Evert, Mr. and Mrs. Hammer
aud the Misses Weaver. Arnoug the guests from
abroad we recognized Miss Awl, Mr. and Mrs.
Reese, aud E B. Wcstfall orSuubury ; Miss Wi
thington, and Mrs. Taggart and daughter of
Northumberland; C. F. Kopitzeh and two sis
ters of Pottsviile ; Mr. aud Mrs. Thompson or
Williamsiort, and Al. Randall, Esq., formerly
Fire Marshal of Philadelphia."
School Teacueks, like other flks,are not lin
frcqtiently anuoxed by their scholars perpetrating
jokes upou them. But when an ingenious young
mind vises aud equals bis teacher, the young
hopeful should be complimented. This, howev
er, was not the case lately in a certain
school room, in the lower end of this county.
The teacher in this case, who is expected to
"teach the young idea how to shoot," when told
the truth, perhaps was unwi.ling to yield, and
resorted to vengeance to appease his angry feel
ings. The joke, though luuoceutly perpetrated,
is a good one. The teacher gave out to his scho-
j lars that they must deliver speeches on declama
tion day, and if not prepared they would be
harshly dealt with. There was a busy time
among the lads iu hunting up old newspapers
from which to press iuto service ideas. A bright
lad happened lo secure a copy of the America
of several weeks back, where he found the fol
lowing, and readily adapted it to his piece :
"Oh ! Lord of love look from above,
Upon ns weary scholars ;
We've hired a fool to teach our school,
And we py him fifty dollars."
No sooner had the pupil delivered his piece
than the master became enraged, and brought
the lad uudwr the rod. A suit was brought by
the parent against the teacher for an attempt to
cheek the lad's progress In bis search for know
ledge, aud for damaging bis back to a considera
ble extent. When they appeared at the Justice's
office, the matter was amicably settled by the
teacher payiug costs to the amount of seven or
eight dollars. He went home a wiser man.
We were lately shown In a cell, In the old rick
ctty jail, which was haudsomcly decorated by
the occupants with a lot of ornamental articles
manufactured by the prisoners, viz : James Do
nohue, John Martin, and Mr. Ruch. The for
mer, sometime ago, procured a lot of empty ci.
gar boxes, and with a common pocket knife,
made a lot of beautiful brackets. He was fol
lowed by the other two, and for some time they
were engaged in making all kinds of fancy work.
Among the articles are paper baskets, of a varie
ty of colors. Paper crosses, wooden chains,
brackets, &c, of ro ist beautiful designs, which
showed great mechanical skill, and excellent
taste. Many of the article were sold at good
prices to parties visiting them, who will no doubt
prize them highly on account of the ingenuity
and workmausbip displayed by these men.
Death of Mrs. Mcllen. Wc regret to an
nounce the death of this kind-hearted old lady,
whose useful life closed on Tuesday last. Though
not well off in this world's goods, that which
she had acquired through a long life of industry
was frequently drawn upon in aid of the poor
and the afflicted. Her home was the home of
the stranger taken sick on his way without
means of support, aud many of the same
character who met with accident ou the railroad,
found kind attendance and a home with "Grand
mother Mullen." Many will regret and feel her
absence, the has gone to receive the reward
which a charitable and kind-hearted person me
rits.
Mis. Mullen had been ill of hrart disease, and
a combination of other complaints which result
ed in death. Iu her ueath the poor will lose a
friend, aud, In her sphere of usefulness, the
town a citizen whose place, perhaps, will never
be filled.
Committed to Jail. A boy named Bird was
arrested a few days ago chuiged with stealing a
coat hanging in front of Rothschild's clothing
store. The theft had been committed sometime
ago but the boy was not captured until this
week. Bird was taken before Justice Helm,
where another charge, of robbing the money
drawer in the States Hotel, was awaiting him,
and in default oi one thousand dollars bail he
was .transferred to Suubury tor safe keeping.
On the h.tter complaint the boy was arrested
last June, but broke out of the lock-up and es
caped. He acknowledged the theft of the coat.

An Honest Man. A few days ago we met a
man on the street who handed ns the price of one
year's nubscripiion to the Tivc, remarking at
the same time "that puts me six mouths ahead."
We replied that as he was a new subscriber It
paid f.r a year in advance. "No, sir," answered
he with some emphasis, "I have been reading
your paper for the last six months, borrowing
it from other people, and now I want to be da
ted back to the time when I ought to have sub
scribed for It." He Insisted upon having the
entry on our hooks "dated back," and we have
accordingly done so. We would like to publish
bis name but are not authorized to make it pub
lic Shamokin Tittee.
As there are a number who read the American
regularly without subscribing, we shall keep a
watch to discover an "honest man" among them
also.

A TuuiLLtNO Accident on tub Svso.i'eiianna.
On Monday evening last a sled, on which were
twenty-one persons, ladl'-s and gentlemen, of
this place, broke through the ice on the river a
short distance below Wiulield where they had
been to attend a protracted meeting. The entire
party, with the exception of three persons, were
precipitated into the water, which at the locality
of the accident is about four feet deep, notwith
standing this fact we are happy to record that
all were rescued. The night was cold ana to
keep Trom being frozen the party were compelled
to walk In their drenched clothing from the place
of the accident to their homes about four miles
distant. Xurth'd et$ of Friday.
Toe regular annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Sunbury Lumber Company was held at
their office iu the borourgli of Suubury, on the
29th of January, aud the following gentlemen
were elected officers for the ensuing year :

Fiue in Watsontown. On Weduesday morn
ing, about 2 o'clock, a firebroke out in the upper
story of the residence of Mr. X. Ganger, on the
corner of Second and Main streets, opposite the
Mansiou House, aud it was entirely consumed.
The furnitnrc"store of Evcritt and Hilcinau and
T. II. Swcitzer's restaurant, located In the build
ing, were also burned. There is no doubt but
that the fire was started by an incendiary in the
hall leading to the Red Man's room in the upper
story. The steamer was out, aud prevented the
Dames from spreading. Entire loss about $10,
000 ; insurance, 16,000. Daily, of yesterday.
Railroad Chances. On the first of February
D. M. Boyd, jr., Geueral Passeuger Ageutof the
Pennsylvania aud Northern Central Railroads,
became also Geueral Passenger Agctit of the Bal
timore aud Potoimc Road. E. 9. Young will act
as passeuger agent under Mr. Boyd's direction.
S. B. Kington, General Freight Agent of the
Pennsylvania road, assumed the position of Ge.
neral Freight Agent of the Northern Central and
Potomac roads from the same date. Ifarritburg
Telegraph.
Tus Harrisbnrg Telegraph, is responsible for
the following. If the story is true, this "Char
ley Couse" is very likely to be expelled from bis
bordiug place, as the landlord will certainly
find out what has become of his cats :
The Champion. Charley Cousc, train agent on
the Northern Central railway, is the champion
cat shootist. A week ago he was laid up siek iu
Sun'jury, and when convalescing thought to be
guile the tedious hours with some amusements.
So he procured a gun and ammunition, and kill
ed some of the numerous cats that ii; tested the
neighborhood of his hotel. Charley says iu a
very short time the bodies of six defunct feiiues
strewed the yard, and it wasn't a good day for
cats. The last one shot was knocked clean over
a six-foot high coal pile fact.
WniTE Washing. A western paper gives an
accouut of a number of prisoners who escaped
from a jail, not much belter than our own. The
editor says the jail had been recently repaired,
and "thoroughly w hite washed from gaTet to
cellar." Yet these incorrigible and ungrateful
villains, failed to appreciate quarters made at
tractive and comfortable by vhite tcmh, aud fled
without even leaving their compliments for the
Grand Jury, who had no doubt recommendsd
white wash as an infallible remedy iu preventing
the breakiug of jails.
As we have had similar experience In the col
lecting of mouey, as the following by the editor
of the Heaver liodical Argus, we copy It to show
how difficult it is for editors to gronpe their way
through the panic :
Gathering "Filthy Lucrb" An Editor's
Experience. Collecting money jur,t now is an
up-hill business. Last week a genteel-looking,
well-dressed man, apparently about forty years
of age, "whose sands of life" didn't look as
though they had near ruu out, stepped up to us
and said he would pay every cent he owed us if
he "lived until Saturday niitbt." We presume
our rcsjectable-looking friend died, for we have
neither seen nor beard Iroin him since. Peace
be to his memory. Another said he would pay
us "iu a day or two as sure us you were born."
Query Did the man die or were we never boru I
Another said he would "settle as sura as shoot
ing." Wc are led to the conclusion that shoot
ing is mighty uncertaiu. Another said he "hoped
to go to the d I If he did not pay ns withiu three
days." llaveu't seen him since ; suppose he's
gone ; trust at least he has not hoped in vaiu.
Quite a number said they "would see you to
morrow." These meu have been stricken bliud
or else to-morrow has never come. One man
told us six months ago that he would pay up as
soon as he got some money. The man would
not lie, for we have admired his veracity for the
last ten years. So of course he has never got n
cent since. Poor fellow. He has our sympathy.
May his shadow never grow less, and his days
be long in the land.

The Washington Steam Fire Enginb Gift
Concert. The managers of the Gift Concert
have given notice to their agents to discontinue
the sale of tickets on February 15th, in order to
make final arrangements for the drawing, which
will positively take place at the time advertised,
on Tuesday, February 23d. Our citizens should
secure their tickets at once, as the time is short,
and many, no doubt, will wait until the last mo
ment, and some will, perhaps, delay the matter
nutil too late. The very laudable object for
which the Gift Concert is given for the purpose
of liquidating the debt on the Company's steam
fire engine should enlist the active sympathy
and aid of all our citizens, and especially is it im
portant to every owner of a dwelling that this
company should succeed, as its services are like
ly to be wanted at any moment.
The citizens of our neighboring towus and ci
ties are also earnestly requested to lend a help
ing hand. This company has promptly respond
ed to calls for help from abroad in time of great
need, and by its prompt assistance has saved a
large amount of property. Besides the good pur
pose for which the Concert is given, every ticket
holder will staud a chance iu the drawing of the
premiums ranging from $1 to tl,000.0. tJet
your tickets immediately.

Jordan, January 27, 1875.
Mr. Editor :
As 1 have noticed in your paper, under the
heading of "A Bold Act," which was copied out
of the Daily, stating "that two strangers stopped
at Mr. Steel's bouse to trade horses, but could
not agree in a trade und left, but that after
Steele left home the parties accomplished a trade
in his absence, but not lu accordance with
Steele's desire or consent, therefore, Steele went
to Hillbush, secured a warrant, and had the par
ties arrested, (I may say rascals,) ami they de
livered up Steele's horse, and took their horse, or
old rib back, settled with Steele, paid the costs
and skedaddled."
One of the party was named Noll, hailing from
Berks county. He makes it his business to trade
horses, but he should have a little more honesty.
Some time ago a youug uiau called at the house
of Jacob Masser, in our township al about 12 o'
clock at night, desiring lo hoi row a horse from
Mr. Masser, offering his overcoat until he le
turr.ed the horte. But Mr. Master did not feel
inclined to loan his horse, and as he watched his
horses, the rogue could not make a horse clip
there, so he struck for the next farm np the val
ley, stopped at the barn of widow Masser, and
without asking the widow, took a horse. When
lie came near Uuioutown, the horse got tired of
his rider, saddled him off, and relumed home
ward. The next morning the widow found her
horse in the highway. The young man lives iu
the borough of Uuioutown. I will not mention
his name ; maybe he will do better hereafter.
Now about the Ring In Sunbury. Since Vas
tine is out of office, and Peter Gray is defeated,
the Democratic Ring have fail play again In the
Commissioners office. They can carry on
things again to their salikfaction. I am sorry i
that our friend, George V . 1 routiuan, will be
deprived of the collecting of couuty aud State
taxes. There are no hopes for him since D. M.
Schwartz is iu the Commissioners' oUiceas clerk,
(i. W. Troutuiau was the most prompt collector
we had for many years.
LOOKOUT.
Don't Hark, Hack, Coiigu, ('ought
Cough is a symplon by which various diseased
conditions of the throat, bronchial tubes aud
lungs manifest themselves, lint whether it
arises from the irritation produced iu the throat
and larynx by taking cold, from an attack of
Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption, or from
various other causes, nothing wiil allay it more
spccdi'.y or cure it more permanently than Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It does not
matter whether it be a recent attack, or a linger
ing congh, the Discovery Is In cither case equally
well adapted for its relief ui:d permanent cure.
In fact, It will cure a cough iu one-half the time
necessary lo cure It with any other medicine,
and it docs it, not by drying it up, but by re
moving to cause, sulKluing the irritation, and
healing the affected pail. No lime should be
lost in commencing the n of a proper medicine
for the relief of a cough, for unless this course is
pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the
lungs Is liable lo result. Golden Medical Dis
covert Is sold bv nil dealers In medicine.
The Ahline tor February, is quite thfl equal of
me January m variety, aud it has one or two
features of eveu rare excellence. Artistically,
there arc few better drawings, aud scarcely ever
any better wood-engravings, than '"Keeping the
Peace," a dog-picture by Peter Moran, quite
worth of Landseer in his best days, with which
the number opens. The late John A. Hows sup
plied, just before his death, til'! three exquisite
'Views of the Couemnugh," which follow.
"Two Pleasant Occupations," und "The For
tunate Moment, are companion pieces, alter
Rudaux, pleasantly telling the cone --s ooof that
rural love-story of which the Aldit t h s before
given more than one charming limp. - by the
same artist. "Hunting the Siag" is a noble
full-pape picture, well conveying that grand
sport iu the costumes and manner of the olden
time ; and a singularly well-drawn little picture,
without name, but showing two girls rolling
about on the summer grass, and three views ot
oddly beautiful Referboiough Cathedral, one of
the handsomest in England, make up the art
contents of the number, really perfect enough,
well to warrant the secondary name : th;; "Art
Journal of America."
The literature of the number, meanwhile,
quite keeps pace with the pictures, in excellence
aud variety.
the Aldine t.ompanv has determined to es
tablish an Art Union, simuhir, to the well-know u
Art Union iu Eugland, aud distribute its works
of art, both sculpture and paintings, which arc
constantly collecting, among its subserioeis.
Art premiums, valued st 2,500, will lie oistri-
buted among each serices of 5,000 subscribers.
Subscription tickets, at f 6 each, entitle the hold

and to a ticket in the distribution of art pre
miums, The Aldine Company publishers, No. 5,

A. NEW IDEA.
70 cts,
send to the NEW YORK & ORIENTAL TEA
COM PANT will insnre by return mail, one
pound oxcellent Oolong, Young Hyson, English
Breakfast, Japan or Mixed Tea such as is usual,
ly retailed at $1.30 to $1.50 per pound.
It is a fact not generally known that by a re
cent arrangment of the Post Office, small quan
tities of merchandise are nov conveyed at charges
considerably less than those of the express com
panies. The cost on one pound of Tea ' being
8 cts only.
The New York and Oriental Tea Company is
taking advantage of this extraordinary facility
and is supplying its customers in all parts of the
United States with the finest Tecs ever imported
at
Wholesale Prices.
Reasons why you should order your Teas from
the New I ork and Oriental Tea Company.
1st. Because the Company deals only in pure
unadulterated Tea. It is we'll known that im
mense quantities of so-called ''Tea," adulterated
with the leaves of the Willow Hawthorn, and
other trees, and even small stones, particles of
lead and steel fillings, besides coloring matter,
are sent over the country and sold at enormons
prices as "Tea !"
The buyers of the New York and Oriental Tea
Company, can, by a new process, not generally
known, detect the presence of adulteration in ail
its forms ; and the Company will continue to
maintain the high character it has hitherto sus
tained, by selling none but
Genuine Tea.
2d. Because our comrfland of capital enables
us to import largely for CASH, and thus to sell
cheap. We buy all our Teas at the Ports of
China and Japan, and thus save many inter
mediate profits and charges.
3d. Because we have inaugurated a new sys
tem of busiuess, originated a New Idea.
We save the profits of the middlemen and give
them to our Customers, hy sending direct to any
address, the finest qualities of Tea at Wholesale
Prices.
4th. Because as the
Great Need of the Times
is pure Tea at a low price ; and as we arc deter
mined to supply this need, it is to your interest
to help ns by sending on your orders at once.
