TnE Lynchburg AVirn contains an ohit- ttarv notice ot Mr. Charles Henry L nch n-lin it i stated, was the trrand-soa of Charles Lvnch. the originator ot the fa mous "Lynch Law." The old tree is still standing in the yard of the family home stead from which Judge Lynch's victims were suspended. The statement is con firmed by the authority jr Webster. who says : "The term is derived from a Virgi nia farmer named Lynch, who thus took the law into his own hands." As a great many farmers are now order ing their garden" seeds, plants and fruit trees for the coniinu season, wc wish to make a suggestion which may be very use ful to them that a complete copy of all orders should in variably be retained. It this is done the buyer can know whether he gets what he bought and paid for, or whether the seller has "taken the liberty to sulistitute other varieties, of which he had a large stock, and was more anxious to dis pose of. In the case ot fruit trees this precaution ought always to be taken. A Confidence man has come to grief. He has been dealing with the "shovers of the queer" and was most unmercifully shorn. For the small sum of $300, he was to receive $3,000 ; and at the inter view in New York that amount was actu ally given him ; he was then decoyed in to "a Ixigv.s express office, where he depos ited his treasure for shipment, receiving uKn his return home a package of waste pajier. We have so often warned our readers against these sharpers that the mor al of this bit of gossip is evident. Valley Iitdsvrhdeiit. On Tuesday last the residence of Mrs. Jane G.

A thamp was killed and the body mort horribly mangled at the eastern approach of Brook's tunnel, on Tuesday night. either by the express east or the through freicht. The trunk was severed, both arms cut olF, also both legs. squirc Berger, of Ursina, held an inquest, but no verdict was rendered at the first sitting and the jury was ordered to continue their investigation on Wednesday eve ning. No papers were found upon the Ixxly by which the name or occupation of deceased could be know n. Suspicions of foul play arc entertained on account ot the pockets having been turned inside out. Valley Independent. Potatoes. Many farmers and others removed their potatoes from the earth where they were buried, during the warm weather which prevailed some two weeks since. The cold sjicll which followed played sad havoc with them. Thousands of bushels in Somerset county have been damaged, if not to'ally ruined. A gentleman of this town informs us that he planted some badly frozen potatoes ia a Iki i and placed it by the stove. In a few days they all sprouted finely. We would not advise our friends to plant their entire crop with frosted seed, but as the HiIkts will be b,,th scarce and dear, a few rows might lie risked by each farmer. Peter S iu steu, a farmer living a few milis out ot Erie, lias invented a new way of "staying an execution for debt."

The act of 25th of April, 174, makes it thedutj of Audi tors of the several townships and boroughs to meet annually on the first Monday in June, and settle the accounts ot the super visors, road commissioners, school, bor ough and township treasurers. These set tlements must 1 published by printed or written handbills posted in at least five public places in the borough or township, within ten days after settlement. The auditors must also file copies of the same with the Township Clerk and also with the Clerk of the Court of Quarter Ses sions. Neglect or refusal to discharge these duties subjects the auditors to a pen alty of $20.

Barnes, on Franklin street, was broken into and a lot ot ck.thing stolen on Monday DighL An cr.trance was made to the store from the rear end of the building, by breaking out of the w indow sash a pane of glass. Simc tunc 1 uesday morning a "tramp, a large man w ith a wooden leg, accompa nied by two other vagabonds, appeared in town, and told in sulwtance the following: The tramp while at East Conemangh was approached by a young man, and was urg ed to join him in peddling clothing. They then traveled down to near Wood vale where the young man produced a bundle of clothing which he had concealed under a tree that had been torn up by the roots. The low price aked for the goods and the remarkable looseness by which he propos ed to conduct the business, excited the sus picions of the man wita the wooden leg, and he concluded ta briag the clothing peddler to JolipstowB and deliver him up to Jiw.icc, The bundle of clothing was left in the Woodvalc store, aad on their way to town the young nun escaped. Oa hearing this story Judge Barnes went to Woodvalc and klenlirkd the clothing as being Lis.

The following resolutions, adopted at the meeting held on May 4th, 170, are still in force and are published for the in struction ot those holding the elections, viz : 1st. That the polls be opened only at the usual places of holdiug elections fixed bv law. 2d. That the Republican voters of each district shall elect their member of the County Committee and the two additional officers to hold the primary election. Sd. That when they were not elected at-the previous election, the committee man tor each borough and township, shall select the two other persons to assist in holding the primary election in their re spective districts, and the committee-man shall act as judge and make the return of election. 4th. That the committee-man be re quired to make a list of the ltepublican voters of the borough or township in which he lives, and have the same present at the election, and designate thereon every person ; and if any person not named thereon be judged entitled to a Tote, his name be added to said list and the fact suited, and that the said list he produced before the return judges when they meet. 5th. That all Republicans be required to vote in their proper districts. Cth. That no person be allowed to vote unless know n to have voted with the Re publican party, or who can produce satis factory evidence of that tact. The return judges must place the returns in the hands of the Chairman oa or before M. evening, Jlay .(1st. E. M. Scur.ock, Ch'm. Co. Com. The completion ot the Salisbury Branch is reduced almost to a certainty. We learp that Eastern capitalists have secured scv eral hundred acres of the Berlin coal on royalty, and purchased in fee simple some lands on which to locate their buildings for miners &.c. There is, perhaps, no coal field, unoccu pied, more inviting for investments ot cap ital that the Buffalo Valley coa". field im mediately south of Berlin. The railroad from Garret to Berlin passes through the centre ot the basin. The coal in question is of an excellent quality, easily accessible, and very convenient to the Branch road. Now that business improves on every hand it would be w ell for investors to thorough ly examine this basin. Yullty Indepen dent. The following w e find in an exchange, end as it applies to Somerset, w e print it: lite man who is active, constant, pro gressing, enterprising and economical in conducting his business, must meet with large success. But if on the other hand he is sluggish, changing, not advancing. old fogy and extravagant in managing his business, his place w ill be passed by anu other places selected where the first plat form is acted upon in every business mat ter. Now, there are many business men who do not advertise their business in the news lapers, and the public, therefore, know little of what tliey live for sale. If a man is too lazy or stingy to notily the public of w hat he has for sale, the chances are thai the customers who do patronize, cannot buy to so good an advantage as at the other places where more liberality and enterprise arc shown The Railroad Wau. Up to the latter part ot last week the freight rates ot the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Balti more to this city were as follows : First class, 55 cents ; second 45 ; third 40 ; fourth Zo ; special IS. These rates were not regarded as high, but w hat will be thought of this schedule, put in opera tion last week : First class 35 ; second 30 ; third 25 ; fourth 20, and special IS. No sooner had the Pennsylvania rail road comjiany become apprised of these wholesale reductions than they at once cut under them as lollows : First class 30 ; second 25 ; third 20 : fourth IS, and special 15. Some shipments were made by the Penn sylvania railroad yesterday at the above named rates, and the war may be said to be fairly commenced, as it is not probable that the Raltimorc and Ohio railroad will allow the large traffic lroui Baltimore to this city to flow over the Pennsylvania ronu. l inbcriand JSeiri, Bold RonnERV. About half past nine o'clock, last Friday evening, some thieves secured an entrance into the storeroom of A. M. Stewart & Co., in this place, by breaking a panel out of a back door, and were "going through" the establishment in the most approved style, when J. A. C. RulTner, Esq., appeared upon the scene and spoiled their little game. Mr. Rutfner was on his way home, when he was at tracted by the "light the thieves made, and thinking some of the clerks were inside he stepped op to purchase some caps for a shot gun he had in his hand. This alarm ed the thieves, who made good their es cape, leaving no traces behind thcra. For tunately they had not time to secure any thing of any Talue excepting some pocket cutlery, and a small amount of torn cur rency, nickels, etc., which were in the till, as Mr. Hoffman had put the cash in the safe at the close of business. The early hour at which this robbery occurred shows the boldness ot the thieves, as the store had only been closed a short time, We would advise our citizens to be on the lookout for future operations of this kind Indiana Denoerat.

Milt Mussclman is a good business man and an elegant penman, and is one of the most popular young men in the city, con sequently he is already as good as elected city clerk. Bear in mind that he is the regular nominee of the convention of last Saturday night. Addisox, Pa. ) April 21st, 1875. f Mh.

Various have been the changes in our town. After a short season of a "blow out" for some small repairs, our planing mill is in full operation again. Josiah Bender, formerly a citizen of our 1 town, but for the last tew years a resiuent of Stanton's Mills, has returned here, and now hangs out the "Big Boot to indicate what business he is engaged in. Mr. II. W. Maurer has commenced the erection of a new dwelling house near tow n ; Le intends to make a neat and sub stantial residence of the same. Some others are talking of doing likewise. A Union Sunday School has been organ ized at this place for the ensuing season. From the interest manifested in its organ ization the same promises to equal if not surpass all lormer schools held at this place. A cordial invitation is extended to all the surrrounding community to attend. A new store at this place has been the general topic of conversation for some time past. Wm. II. Dictz, of the firm of B. S. Fleck & Co., has returned from the east where he Lad been making purchases. and new and seasonable poods are now ar riving daily. I his new nrm arc now dis playing a very fine assortment of every thing usually to be had at any country store. Both being youns; men and fur many years residents ol" this place, they certainly merit a liberal share of the pub lic patronage. The first quarterly meeting of the circuit of the U. B. Church will be held at this place commencing on Saturday, May 1st, lbu, and continuing over Sabbath. Emi nent ministers from abroad ars expected to be present and participate in the exer cises ol said meeting. loung America hereabouts are com mencing to despair, even getting loud in their lamentations of griet at the unpropi- tious weather for "hop stotch," fishing and other spring amusements, though there is a belter day coming. The lately issued report of the United States Commissioner otAgriculture con tains the following reference to l'ennoyl vania, as a State able to produce, within herself, all that she consumes, as well as to consume all the agricultural products derived lrom her own soil: "Pennsylvania comes nearer being self supporting than any one ot the older States of large population, producing everything that a system of mixed farming in a tem perate climate can yield, and depending mainly upon the manufacturing and min ing populations of the State for its mat kef. It does not ship largely any of its products, as New Y'ork does butter and cheese, but sends a small surplus of dairy and fruit products, wool and mutton and other sur plus of the farm, to Wew Y'ork, and but ter and fruit to Baltimore and Washington. Its purchases from other States are far less in variety and extent than those of New Tork or New Jersey, in comparison with population. Animals are brought into tLe State for fattening, and liberally for stock improvement A correspondent from Mer cer, who has imported Clydesdale horses from Glasgow, English coach horses from Hull, and draught horses from London, ic cently sold lour for $12,181. Many Pcnn sylvanians are quite successful as stock breeders, and find markets in different por tions of the country. Lancaster, York and Bucks send millions of pounds of to bacco beyond State lines. Susquehanna, with an area of 800 square miles, makes 3,000,000 pounds of butter and sells 90 per cent, of it. The model farm district, Lan caster, ships lour-filths of its products be yond the county, and brings little in. Among th counties which have a surplus of wheat are Lancaster, producing 2,000,- ihkj bushels ot wheat, Uucks, Lehigh, York, Cumberland, Perry, Snyder, Ful ton. Eric, Chester, Dauplwn, "Franklin, Adams and Westmoreland. This is the great wheat growing State of the East, producing nearly as much as California; in 1S(9, according to the census, 3.000,000 bushels more than that wheat exporting Mate. Some of the counties have occasion to bring in considerable flour and grain. Susquehanna buys half its home consump tion ot flour, Tioga a larger portion and Butler, Warren, Wayne, Clearfield, Clin ton and McICean are also purchasers; and wheat is imported by Luzerne, Cameron, Lehigh and Lawrence. Steers for feeding aie brought into Erie, Columbia and Le high. Three-fourths of the beeves of Elk are imported, and fifty per cenL ot those of Clinton and Dauphin, and other coun ties buy largely. Some counties Lave a small surplus of horses and mules, and others a deficiency; but the stock of the State is mainly grown within her borders, except some animals lor fattening. This is a high compliment to Pennsyl vania, which is an empire in herself, com plete in all that is necessary lor her own support. She is what she is, the report might have added, because Protection has built up within her borders a sufficient home market lor the varied rich and abun dant products of her soil. If she Lad to depend upon her agriculture alone she would be nothing in comparison to what she now is, with the anvil and the loom as active as the plow. MAKRIi:.
