lair/I. New York correspondent de
clares that the reported delays in the tri
al of the Tilton-Beecher damage case, are
caused by the effort of , Beecher's counsel
to have Moulton tried ftntt, and if possi
ble convicted, thus putting out of the way
the principal witness against their client.
The delays, whether caused for - this rea
ern, or not, have certainly had a damag
ing effect on Mr. Boechcr's case, as view
ed by the people of the country.
Pri - The most serious labor strike of the

the blow will disastrously Affect the min

the same old thing—the millowners think
they are compelled to' reduce wages and
the workmen refuse to take the lessened
pay.

The late election in Louisiana reveals

it is discovered that 1,715 while voters, or
vine-ballot the white voters, of the parish,

affirThe oldest man in Worth Amtri.
ea, George Le Baire, of Middle Smith
near Stroudsburg, Monroe county,
Pa., died at his residence last Saturday
night, at the extreme age of 112 years.—
He was born in Permylvania under col
onial rule, had shaken bands, with Gener
al Washington, Seen the, gallant Lafay
ette and the patriotic. (3,eral Sullivan,
and was 'deemed a tory in revolutionary
days. He was too old for service in 1812
but he was still a hale old man till with
in the last two weeks. He had never
been sick but three times in his life , --once
with yellow fever, once with camp fever
and once,witli • ty - nbold fever. He used
tobacco very freely - all his life, both smo
king and chewing, but was very moder
ate in his use of liquor of all kinds. He
took daily exercise in the woods, among
which he had grown up, felling trees and
chopping railroad ties, up to within the
last two or three years. It is recorded
of him that 1869 when one hundred and
seven years old, he felled trees and peal
ed three wagon loads of bark, which one
of his young'st sons, a young chap of six
ty hauled to market for him.
A PAMILY POISONED:-.4. whole fami
ly were found poisoned in bed in Carbon
dale, at noun en Friday. The victims
are a family named Ludwig, his wife and
a beautiful child about a year old. Some
of the neighbors shortly' before noon, see
ing that none of the family were astir,
forced open the door, and on going up
stairs beheld a horible spectacle. The
features of a-man and wife were distort
ed by the throes of death, while the in
fant was at its mother's breast unconscious
of the awful fate of its parents. Medical
aid was promptly called, and after the
application of restoratives husband and
wife rallied a little, but the latter died
withie an hour. The husband, being of
a powerful constitution , struggled_o. -
til the evening,when he also died. When
the—husband_was.partially restored to con
sciousness he said that somebody gave
himself and wife a draught from a bottle.
"We both diank it," ho added, but ho
could not be induced to say any more.—
Up to a late hour that evening no clue to
the mystery could be obtained.
19.. A letter of Gov. Dix to Mayor
Havemeyer, written last - week,:in relation
to William M. Tweed, is made public.—
The Governor alludes to the information
which has come to him of Tweed's privi
leges, Such as the use of a room furnished
with all the conveniences and comforts of
life, his wearing of ordinary dress, liber
ty of the penitentiary grounds, and his
exemption from testraints of prison disci
pline. This, the Governor declares, is .
disgraceful to the State, a criminal viola
tion of duty, in utter contempt of the law,
and cannot fail to bring lasting discredit
on all by whose official interposition the
abuse may be corrected, and he deems it
his duty to call the mayor's attention to
the subject, as the parties who are thus
making the administration of justice a
mockery are within his immediate author
ity.
se Scranton Penna., must be a terrible
place to live, if what the New York Her

half true. A Herald correspondent rep
resents matters. iu the neighborhood of
that 'place, in a locality called "Shanty
Hill," as in a fearful condition. rivalling
the noted "Five Points" of New York in
misery and wretchedness. The Republi
can denies what the Herald correspondent
says, but publishes to the world the hu
miliating fact that the Mayor of Scran
ton has been arrested for perjury, and the
chief of police is in durance for murder.
In its despair the Republican says : "We
don't know what shall befall us if the of
ficers of the city are taken away one by
one in this summary manner. Now the
chief of police and mayor aro gone, and
we suppose the next thing in order will
be to gobble up the "City Fathers."

TRESSPASSINO.—It is supposed bisome
persons that it is necessary for farmers
and others to advertise that gunning and

a gukon any inclosed or improved lands
of auk: inhabitant of this state without
permission of the owner, or shall there
fore -be convicted before any justice of
the-.peace, he shall for every offense for
feit- the "sum of forty shillings. This act

justice •of the peaco . Farmers are not
obliged, to advertise, but-it ie well to do
83, as it saves the annoyance of resorting
to legal proceedings in many cases,because

be permitted on such properties, and will,
therefore, give them a wide berth.—Sun

_ How_To CATCH-:COLD-:—An-exchange
says: . One way is to. "bundle up" in furs
or mufflers tight about the , neck, take a
.brisk.walk,'go into a warm room or con
cert—sit with your things all on,get warm
perspire freely, breathe vitiated air for an
hour or two, and when thoroughly relax
ed, the pores of the skin all open, go out
into the cold, damp'air, and you will be
gin to shiver. After having a chill send
for the doctor and be will give y.ou some•
thing hot, then go to bed ; then if let a
lone long enough you may get up in a
'day or two, and in a 'fortnight or so you
may repeat the imprudence.. We don't
.believe in furs, clos'e unventilated, over
heated rooms, nor' in stupid carelessness
generally. There are several other ways
to 'take cold. We will 'minion but one,
and that is to "over-eat.".. • Stuff the stom
ach with improper food, more than it can
digest, and you will soon find yourself
"all..clogged up with a cold". You will
cough or. sneeze, blow your nose, and

Ms That dry hacking cough is the herald
of approaching consumption. To check the
swift progress of the destroyer, prompt and
decisive measnres must be restored to. A
dose of Dr. Morris Syrup of Tar, Wild Cher.
ry and Horehound, taken when the cough
ing spells come on, will afford immediate
relief and eventually effect a thorough cure.
It will be found equally beneficial in all
forms of throat and lung disorders. In cases
of croup it is of inestimable value. Call at
the drug store of F. FORTIMAN, and inquire
about it, they will furnish you with a sam
