TnE surviving soldiers of the 47th Regt. Vet,
Vols., will hold a reunion at this placo on the
23d day of October next, the anniversary of the
battle of Pocotaligo. The members of Co. C
are now making arrangements to give their fel
low comrades a hearty welcome. The followin
gentlemen were appointed as a local committee
of arrangements : D. W. Oyster, II. D. Whar
ton. John Helm. Cornelius Kramer, J. Wciser
Bucher, J. K. Kecfcr, J. C. Irwiu, Samuel Mil
ler, Jacob Rcnn, E. M. Bucher.
On Tuesday evening the committee met nt the
Clcmcut House, and organized by the election
of the following permanent officers :
Chairman Capt. Daniel Oyster.
Treasurer Jared C. Irwin.
Secretary H. D. Wharton.
On motion Lieut. James Vandyke was added
to the local committee.
J. K. Kecfer nnd John Heim were appointed
committee on badges.
Resolved, That the local committee act togeth
er in makiug the necessary preparations for the
reception of the members of the 47th Reciment
at the re-union on the 22d of October, 1875, the
anniversary of the battle of Pocotaligo, and
that the committee do all in their power to en
tertain onr comrades while in Sunbury, and to
make their visit pleasant.
Resolved, That the citizens of Sunbury bo re
quested to co-opera le with the committee, and
if needed, to aid them pecuniarily.
On motion adjourned to meet at the call of the
Chairman.
This re-union of the 47lh Regiment will, no
doubt, be a grand and pleasant affair. The
meeting of these veteran soldiers to celebrate
the anniversary of a bard fought battle, to re
mind them when they stood side and side as
band of brethren defending a freo government,
is an event that will no doubt bring joy to every
one's heart that participati. As there will be a
large number of the Regiment present, we hope
that our citizens will make proper arrangements
to give them a good reception, such an one that
will be a credit not ouly to the. comrades (our
own sons) residing here, bnt to our town, which,
during the war, was known throughout the
army for its hospitality towards those that went
forth to fight for their country, aud that it may
be kept in bright remembrance in the hearts of
those brave men until they arc galled to that
country where there is no strife, and aii is hnr-
mony and peace.
The Legal Powers of a Cokoner. Wc tind
in the Legal Journal the following opinion on
the very question ii: point :
"The Coroner's office is judicial or ministerial
judicial iu the holding of inquests, ministerial
where he acts as a substitute for the Sheriff.
Whcu he sits to hold au inquest, he sits as a ju
dicial officer, armed with all the ordinary powers
possessed by judicial officers. It is his duty to
summon before hi inquest every person whom
he has uny reason to believe possesses any
knowledge relative to the death which he Is in
vestigating. He is to summou such persons in
the name of the Commonwealth toattend before
him for examination. He is also a committing
magistrate, and it is his duty if the jury find
any person guilty of homicide, to commit that
person to prison without bail to await his trial.
The finding of a Coroner's inquest, In the old
English law, was equivalent to the finding of a
grand jury. I answer the questious which buve
been propounded to roc thus publicly, because I
think it Important that the public should under
stand the nature nnd character of the duties of
the Coroner and the powers which, ho possess.
Some people apparently do not know the nature
of those duties, and as I am informed, question
his authority and regard his subpwnas. It is
ust as well that these person should compre
hend the scope of the powers of the Coronet
and what authority he is armed with as a judi
cial officer to enforce those powers. It is the
duty of ail persons summoned by the Coroner to
attend his inquest. And if they do not obey his
summons it is the Coroner's duty and right to
compel their attendance by attachment, and to
puuish them for that disregard of his subpoena
by fine or imprisonment. If they refuse to at
tend I udvUc blm to compel their attendance by
attachments."
There arc a number of persons in the county
who wonld do well to digest the facts as here
stated.
The Next Election. We commend the at
tention of voters to the followius : Ibe new
Constitution forbids all persons from voting un
less they have been assessed at least two months
and paid their taxes at least one mouth before
the date ol the election. No one of foreign
birth can vote unless, In addition to the above,
he has been naturalized a month previous to the
election.
The date of holding the next election is Tues
day, November 2d.
Wednesday, September 1st, is the last day on
which voters can be assessed.
Friday, October 1st, is the last day on which
they can pay taxes.
Friday, October 1st, is the last day for taking
out naturalization papers.
Each of these important duties can be per
formed at aiiy time before the days mentioned.
Excursion Tickets. As an inducement to
travel, most of the railroad companies Issue ex
cursion tickets. The policy is no doubt a good one,
and is the next best thing to a permanent reduc
tion of fare, which is one of the hard things to
Iearn,aiid realize by railroad companies. But rail
road managers, however, may sometimes make
mistakes. The policy which compels ourcitizens
to send to Noithumbcrland and other small sta
tions for excursion tickets to Philadelphia, if not
unjust, Is certainly a bad one. We can hardly
believe the able mauagers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad would sanction such measures if their
attention was called to the fact.
Mr. James A. Thatek, the former popular
teacher iu N. W. Ward Grammar School, in this
place, is about entering the office of N. W. Ayer
it Son, the popular advertising ageuts in Phila
delphia. Mr. Thayer is well qualified for the
position proflcred him. Messrs. Aver & Son
are punctual and honorable business men, and
with the nsslstaucc of Mr. Thayer will prove a
great benefit to the newspaper men throughout
the country, as well a to the niauufacturies,
mechanics and business men in the cities.
Fine Curomos. Mr. T. B. Bradford, of Se-
liusgrove Junction, this county, will, iu a few
days, commence canvassing nil the principal
towus in this and adjoining counties for the sale
of chrnuin from the celebrated painting by the
late J. O. Eaton, entitled "Our Boy" aud "Our
Girl." These picture have a higher claim thau
common chromos scattered all over the country,
as they lend to cultivate the taste of popular
masses, aud furnish each dwelling a standard of
artistic excellence always present and agreeable
to the eye. Thete chromos are executed in six
teen colors, aud are pronounced the very best ex
amples of the art ever produced in this country.
They have been prepared with rare taste and
skill, and should adoru the walls of every family
home iu the laud. The original cost of this pic
ture wa $500 00, and will be sold at the low price
of tC for the sett. Mr. Bradford Is a resident of
Lower Augusta township, and is a young man
reliable and trustworthy, who has secured the
agency for this part of the country. His pic
tures will be found oue of the finest work of art
yet seen iu this vicinity.
Maj. W. CaI.de it Kait, of Northumberland,
paid our town a business visit on Monday eve
nine. Before he left an employee in Cook &
Pardee's match stick factory palmed off on him
a bunch of match sticks for saw log seed ! He
said be would set them out after the first shower,
and in a year or two we may expect to see the
suburbs of Northumberland a howling wilder
ness of tall piues. Vatton(orn Jtecord.
Wc don't believe that, Johu.
The verdict of the jury which found the de
fendant guilty in the Northumberland rape case,
may be justified by some on the principle of
"served him right," but the weight of evidence
did not sustain the facts that the crime commit
ted was the icsult of such actious ns are neces
sary to constitute the crime of rape.
A regular meeting of the Borough Council
was held on Tuesday evening last, but no busi
ness except granting orders for bills presented
was transacted, not even a resolution was passed
to give power to the Borough Dad to grant or
ders to the cows to enter the Park for grazing.
It was deemed unnecessary, ns they go in free as
long as the gates arc left open.
Tiesdat, August Situ, has been fixed by
Judge Rockefeller to hear petitions for natura

Sunbubt & Lewistown Railroad. The Mid'
dletown rott of the 29th ult., publishes the fol
lowing letter from Col. A. C. Simpson, Esq.,
answer to numerous questions of correspondents.
If the people along tho route have been cxhorbi'
taut in the valuation of their damages, they
should at once take tho matter into coueidera-
tion, and have it adjusted as It is detrimental to
their interests to have the road closed to the use
of the public. There Is nothing to be gained by
keeping the road lay idle, and the sooner bus!
ness is revived, the sooner the land holder can
expect to realize something.

Trespassing. Those of our citizens who
walk out into the country, should remem
ber that they arc liable to a fiue of $5 for cross
ing any gardeu or field, under the trcepass law.
The majority of the farmers, however, probably
would not enforce the peualty for trespassing
unless intentionally damage be clone, but still
there arc country people who are so embittered
against town icop!c that they would eagerly
take advantage of the first opportunity afforded
to vent their spile, that as a matter of precaution
we have deemed it proicr to caution town readers
against trespassing when visiting the rural dis
tricts. Ex.
Leo Broken. Ou Thursday evening last
while Charles Vincent, youngest son of Mr.
Isaac Vincent of this place, aud two other little
boys were playing railroading with a lumber
truck at Wagner, Starr & Co.'s mill, the former
by some means or other got his foot fast which
resulted in the breaking of his right leg above
the knee. He was carried home and Dr. Leiscr,
the family physician, called, who set the broken
limb. The unfortunate lad is getting along
finely, but he thinks he will resign his position
as conductor on that road.
Drowned. On Friday evcuing last a son of
Mrs. Marshal, of this place, aged about 13 years,
was drowned in the canal at Dewart. Ha had
gone Into deep water rather reckless, and being
unable to swim was drowned as above stated.
Several lads were with him and gave the alarm.
He was in the water about one-half hour before
found, aLd all efforts to revive him proved use

Only those who have been similarly affiicted can
realize the sad bereavement, and properly sym.

A wise woman has this to say of quarrels,
both before aud after marriage : "People talk
of lovers' quarrels ns rather pleasant episodes
probably because they are not quarrels at all
She pouts ; he kisses. He frowns ; she coaxes,
It is half play, and they know it. Matrimonial
quarrels are another thing. I doubt seriously if
married people ever truly forgive each other
after the first failing out. They gloss it over
they kiss and make up ; the wound apparently
heals, but only as some of those horrible wounds
given in battle do, to break out again at some
nnexpected moment. The man who bas sueered
and said cruel things to a sensitive woman never
has her whole heart aealn. Tho woman who
has uttered reproaches to a man can never be
taken to his bosom with the same tenderness as
before those words were spoken. Tho two peo
ple who must never quarrel are husband and
wife. One may fall out with kinsmen and make
up and be friends again. The tie of blood Is
strong oue, and affection may return after it has
flown away ; but love, once banished, is a dead
and buried thing. The heart may ache, but it is
with hopelessness. It may be impossible to lovo
anyone else, but it Is more impossible to restore
the old idol to its empty niche. For a word or
two, lor a sharpening of the wits, for a mo
ment's self-assertion, two people have often been
made miserable for life. For, whatever there
may be before, there are no lovers' quarrels after
marriage.'
Daring Daylight Robbebt. Mr. Harry Har
per, at oue time operator of tho Lancaster Col
liery, is al present residing In Phila. Recently
he was the victim of a very daring daylight rob
bery. While he was absent from home some
parties with wagons took out of his house and
hauled away about eight hundred dollars worth
of his furniture. Although the act was done in
broad daylight and tho parties were seen by a
great many people, there Is no clue to the rob
bers nor any traces where the furniture was
taken. Shamokin Times.
Chicken thieves infest Caketown. Half a
dozen chickens were lately taken from one coop.
Those who own chickens in town had better keep
lookout for a certain editor liviug in the
suburrs of tho town, as he has lately been seen
prowling about nt night, and occasionally
takes a trip across the river. He is very pleasant
looking, and no one would suspect him.
Foreign Goods. We notice that Mr. Moses
Marx, of the firm of Messrs. Marx Bro., of
this place, who is now in Europe, Is buying a
large lot of all kinds of woolen goods of Euro
pean manufacture for their customers in this
place. Ills intention is to save tho cost, of im
portation, and give the benefit to the purchaser.
We learn that he intends to return in a few
weeks, when these goods will be opened foflhe
11 trade. This accounts, no doubt, for the
great reduction in the prices of their goods at the
present time, which is selling off rapidly. We
presume that they want to make room for their
new stock. This is showing an enterprise never
before exhibited in this place.
Hope is a good breakfast but a very bad sup
per," as the daughter, 10, who had fastened her
heart on a killing pair of Messrs. Smith & Bro.'s
gaiters, said to her father before going to bed.
P-a-r-i-e-n-t-s, you must bear In mind that "hope
deferred maketh the heart sick." They also

better done than by erecting a suitable tomb

with less of this earthly goods, get something
in proportion to their mean. Marble is cheap
now, so that all can get some kind of a grave

Our harvest is over. All cut
nnd stowed away in the barns, ready f;r mach
ining out. We have had a medium yield, aud
good weather for securing the crop. The oats.
corn, potatoes nnd cabbage look very promising.
The potato but; came early, and scared us some
what ; but with energy and perseverance we got
the victory over them. If I live till next plant
ing time I will tell the Amebican readers bow
we conquered the pests.
As we attend your market regularly, you
know, Mr. Wilvert, that we, women of Lower
Augusta, bring you the very best products of our
market gardens, the best made butter, and the
richest cirgs to be had in the county, nnd you can
buy fresh and cheap from ns, bright and early iu
market, without being compelled to take second
or third rate stuff from middlemen.
Talking of "middlemen," I am led to tell yon
we have a Farmer's Grange, No. 325, P. of H.
W can get groceries, sewing and agricultural
machines throngb this organization at greatly
reduced figures, aud of superior quality. O, the
delicious tea ! Havc'nt drank s:ich for many a
long year ! We have made all our regalia at home,
nnd expect shortly to show ourselves to the out
side world. We will tell you when.
There is one drawback In our saving line
Tome of our men will slip into Drumheller's and
other places on market days and spend some of
the profits. We, women, must do more of the
marketing ourselves, and let the men work on
the farm. I know it trill jmij. Besides, we cau
deal out choice butter, cges and berries more be
comingly thau rough fisted men, with segars and

Visiting last Sunday the Dry
Valley Union Sabbath School, about a mile from
tills place, I was much gratified to meet so
many of my old acquaintances. The Dry Valley
Union Sabbath School is the oldest in this sec
tion. The teachers are attentive, nnd take a
great in teres t. Mr. J. D. Rubendahl, the super
inteudant is a courteous gentleman, and under
his supervision the school is conducted in a man
ner that is very creditable to the community.
A basket pic-nlc will be held by the school on Hie
7th Inst., when good music will be in attendance,
and lots of enjoyment will be had by both teach
ers and scholars. The public generally are cor
dially invited to attend.
I am sorry to see the move of an Educational
Association in this place, meet with such cool
ness as it is. It looks as if education was a mere
stumbling block to our children. It is discour
aging when wc see from forty to fifty children
runniug on the street, besides n number of half
grown boys setting on counters in the stores with
pipes in their months.smoking and annoying the
store keeper and his customers, that so little In
terest is felt, and that a few should keep pouring
cold water upon every project that is calculated
to cultivate the minds of these young people. I
hope, however, that it will not contiuue long,
and that those who through selfish motives are
throwing obstacles In the way, will soon change
and assist in establishing the noble enterprise.
The summer crops uever looked better ; corn,
oats and potatoes we can expect a larger crop
than was ever seen here. Since there are so
many Democratic candidates running around
here, the potato bugs are skedaddling in every
direction. A few more of these candidates will
be the means of driving away every potato bng,
as they do not appear to like them.

The Wrong Side or Site Meridian.
On the down hill side of life, 'which an old
medical writer quaintly terms "the wrong side
of the meridian," when the functions decay and
the frame gradually bends under the weight of
years, the system requires to be sustained under
the burden imposed upon It. Innumerable
physicial ailments and infirmities then press up
on it to which it had been in earlier life a strang
er. The surest and pleasantest support and so
lace of declining years is found in Hostetter'g
Stomach Bitters, long recognized as the most
wholesome and agreeable of diffusible stimu
lants, the most potent of tonics and alteratives.
The aged and infirm may place implicit confi
dence in this invigorating elixir, which not only
checks those maladies to which elderly persons
arc peculiarly subject, hut in a measure retards
the encronchment of time npon the constitu

PUBLIC REPORT
OF A
POLICEMAN.
I have not enjoyed good health for several
years pa6t, yet have not allowed it to interfere
with roy labor. Every one belonsinir to the la
boring class knows the inconvenience of beinz
obliged to labor when the body, from debility,
almost refuses to perform its daily task. I never
was a believer In dosing with medicines : but
having heard tho Vkoktine spoken of so highly,
was determined to try it, and shall never resrret
that determination. As a tonic (which every
one needs at some time) it snrpnses anything I
ever beard of. It invigorates the whole svstem:
it is a great cleanser and purifier of the 'blood.
There are many of my acquaintances who have
taken it, nnd all nnitein praise of its satisfactory
effect.
Especially among the ngcp class of people, it
Imparts to them the One thing most needful in
old age nights of calm, swee' repose, thereby
strengthening the miud as well as the body.
One nged lady, who has been suffering through
life from scrofula, and has become blind from
its effects, having tried many remedies with no
favorable result. was induced by friends to try
the Vf.oftifk. After taking a few bottles, she
obtained snch great relief that she expressed a.
wish for her sight, that she mtebt be able to
took upon the man who had sent her such a
blessing.

HEARTFELT PRAYER.
St. Paul, Aug. 23, 19C5.
H. R. Stevins, Esq. :
Dear Sir I should be wanting in gratitude, if
I failed to acknowledge what the Vkoetinb has
done for me. 1 was anncked abont eleven
months since with Bronchitis, which settled Into
Consumption. I bad night sweats and fever
chills ; was distressed for breath, and frequently
spit blood ; was all emaciated, very weak, and
so low that my friends thought my case hope
less. I was advised to make a trial of the Vegstine,
whieb, under the providence of God, has cured
me. That h3 may btess the use of your medi
cine to others, as he bas to me, and that his di
vine grace may attend you, is the heartfelt pray
er of your ndmirimr, humble servant,
BENJAMIN PETTINGILL.
P. S. Mine is but one among the many cures
your medicine has effected in this place. B, P.
MAKE IT- PUBLIC.
South Boston, Feb. 9, 1871.
R. H. Stevens, Esq.
Dear Sir I have heard from very many
sources of the great success of Veoetine in cases
of Scrofula, Rhcnmatism, Kidney Complaint,
Catarrh, and other diseases of kindred nature.
I make no hesitation In saying that I know Veo.e
eine to be most reliable remedy for Catarrh and
General debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
mauy years, and at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried euery supposed remedy that we
could hear of, and with all this she has for sev
eral years been gradually growing worse, and
the discharge from the bead was excessive and
very offensive.
She was in this coudilioi.whcn she commenc
ed to take Vegetive ; 1 could see that she was
improving on the second bottle. She continued
taking the Vegetinb until she had used from
twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now happy in
informing you and the public (if you choose to
to maKO it public) that she is entirely cured, and
Vegetine accomplished the cure after nothing
eles wonld. Hence I feel justified iu saying that
Veretine is the most reliable remedy, and
would advise all suffering humanity to try it, for
I believe it to be a good, honest, vegetable medi
cine, and I shall not hesitate to recommend it.
I am, Ac, respectfullv,
L. C. CARDELL,
Store 451 Broadway.
Veoetine acts directly upon the cause of these
complaints. It invigorates and strengthens the
whole system, acts upon the secretive orgaus,
allays inflammation, cleanses and enres ulcera
tion, cures constipation, and regulates the
bowels.
Has Entirely Cured Me.
Boston, October, 1870.
y.n. Stevens :
Dear Sir My daughter, after having a severe
attack of whooping cough, was left in a feeble
state of health. Being advised by a friend she
tried the Veoetine, and after using a few bottles
was fully restored to health.
I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism
I have taken several bottles of the Vegetinb for
this complaint, and am happy to say it has en
tirely cured me. I have recommended the Vb
getinb to others, with the same good results.
It 13 a great cleanser and purifier of the blood ;
it is plcasaut to take ; nnd I can cheerfully re
commend it.
