INVESTMENTS -RAILROAD AND REA EE
TATS BECUIIITIEB.-ir we compare tlrsbclass Rail
road Bonds with good Reel Estate mortgages OR
an Investment for the people generally, each will
be found to have peculiar advantages of their
owii. For example—a Railroad Bond Is readily
and always negotiable ; its each value lel:mown
by all bankers, and hence It can be used as colla-
teral at bank for temporary loans ; the Interest It
bears Is regularly and promptly paid, without
trouble or expense to the holder ; tho Investor In
Railroad Bonds, unlike the owner . of Real Estate
mortgages, has no anxiety about the Mee to the
property on which his bond is secured, Insurance
on buildings, or the annual payment of taxes, on
which the continued soundness• of that title de-
ponds.
On the other hand, it Is to be admitted; that a
first mortgage'on valuable land Is ono of the best
possible securities. The property can neither run
away, nor burn up. Its value Is not effected by
speculative combinations, nor by fluctuations in
the amount of Railroad truffle. The actual value
of good land steadily increases With the steady
growth of population.
It Is because the 7-30 Bonds of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad aro both a Brat-class Railroad se
curity, and a Real Estate mortgage, ou lauds
worth twieu the amount secured, that we com
mend them to those of our readers who desire an
Investment that is safe beyond question, while
readily negotiable and bearing a good rate of in

HOMICIDE.
A Man's Neck Brokers in the
Second Ward.
Fildny morning the city was throwli into a fever
heat of excitement over the report of a murder
which was alleged to have been commlited at the
lager beer saloon of John Fetter, corner of Union
and Water streets, In the Second Ward. Innumer
able were the rumors which new front mouth to
month, one alleging that a German named John
Kerner, who worked with Green'a . men In the Iron
ore beds In the vicinity of Frledensville, hail vidted
the saloon Thursday evening and between tea and
eleven o'clock became noisy and nnruly and was
pitched out the second story window by the pro
older, and was found dead by the pollee. The
truth, as near as we can ascertain, Is as folldws :
=I
Is a two•story brick building at the corner of Union
and Water streets, thelillldescending and forming
a basement front on Water street, a verandah
running along the front, and protected by an Iron
railing. The alga Indicates that lager beer Is
sold here by John Fetter, but to what other uses
the establishment is pat we do not know, though
reports are not very favorable to the reputation
of the house.
FETTER'S BrollY,
which we have no reason to doubt, Is that several
men came there In the evening and wanted liquor,
Mit as they were drunk he refused to sell them
any. After this Kerner, whom he believes belonged
to the same party, came there between ten and
eleven o'clock, and became boisterous and used
very distasteful language. Fetter jerked him on
of the chair lu which he was sitting and shoved
him out of the door, where he fell upon the veran
dah, the distance only the height of one step. Ile
fell upon his face, and, after a short time, Fetter
observing him still there, sent for the police to
remove'him. Officer Meltzle• soon made his ap
pearance and, blowing his whistle, was Joined by
Chief Kleckner and the two dragged him a short
distance, when they received the assistance of Offi
cers Thomas and Halllet, who helped to carry him
to the Mansion House steps, where the suspicion
that they had been
=I
was soon confirmed by no examination made by
Dr. Constantine Martin, who had been called for
that purpose. The body was then conveyed to
the Station house where a post mortem examina
tion was held this morning and It was discovered
that the neck had been broken which had undoubt
edly caused Instant death, as the last sound which
come from the victim on this earth was a grout
when he fell on the porch. No other Injury was
found, though the fall caused his nose to bleed.
About half past tea o'clock the Mayor commit
ted Fetter to prison to await the result of the
Coro:wee Investigation. •
=I
John Fetter wan brought before a special tee-
Eton of the Court; Saturday morning, on a writ of
habeas corpus and after th comminution of several
itneeses his bail was fixedat $lO,OOO.
The evidence went to show that Kerner was
noisy and Insulted Fetter's wife. Ile was ordered
to leave and upon his refusing Fetter took hold of
him, shoved him out the door, when Kerner fell.
With one foot Fetter pushed Kenner's legs out of
the way and shut the door. Some time afterwards
he was found still lying on the verandah, when
Fetter sent for the police to remove him and IL was
not discovered that he was dead until his body
d been carried as far as the Mansion House
I=
•
The Coroner's jury met Saturday morning and
returned a verdict that the deceased came to his
death at the hands of John Fetter.
We understand that Kern was a hard-working
and industrious man and seldOin drank to excess.
He Is without relatives or friends in this vicinity
and will soon be forgotten in 'tiniest resting place
In the Nor House burial ground.
ASCENSION DAY SERVICES.—SpeeIeI services
in commemoration of Christ's ascension to Heaven
were held in St. Peter's German Lutheran Church
hn the evening. After an appropriate anthem by the
choir and the Miler of the liturgy for the occasion,
the Pastor, Rev. S. K. Brobst, preached on. the
lesson of the day as contained in Acts 1,1-11. Ile
remarked, that the celebration of this day had
been introduced into the church daring the first
centuries and that the festival came in very ap
propriately between Easter and Whit-Sunday, as
Christ's ascension followed as a twee rsity after his
resurrection nod had to precced the promised de
scent of the holy Ghost, lie then etolnined the
h'
Istory and the doctrines contained in the text.
Luke means by the "drat treatise" the Gospel.
Christ was continually doing as well as teaching.
He taught only three years and lived recording to
his teaching thirty-three years. The history of
his work of teaching sod doing does not close with
the Gospel of Luke bat la continued in the Acts,
In another form—the Apostles being only his In
struments through which he works by the power
of the Holy Ghost. The same work he continues
even to this day in the Church and is present in it
as God-man In the Word and Sacraments. Before
hisascension, after the resurrection, he spout forty
days (a sacred or perfect nomber) in Instructing
his disciples more fully in regard to his Kingdom:
Thus he made preparation far visiole separation.
-So we should prepare our families and friends for
our departure to Heaven by speaking to them of
the " thiags pert:ailing to the Kingdom of God."
The disciples should deport not front Jerusalem
but wait for the promise. This exercise of faith,
which . required them to remain in the wicked city,
was very uncial to them and in a similar manner
be teaches us still patience by making its wait for
the fuldliment of his promise. When they asked
him in regard to the time for restoring the king-
door of Israel, he did not gratify their curiosity,
but directed them to their duty and to his comfort
ing promise. Angels were present at hianscen
sion Into heaven as well as when he came from
Heaven to earth, showing the great interest nud
delight of these holy beings In man's redemption.
Christ is In Heaven no .v ni he 'went there—God-
into, our nature Is glorified and elevated to the
right hand of God. lie will come again to Judge
the world as Gnd and man—the two natures be-
Mg, Inseparably nutted. Ile rotors now daily to
his believing followers by the promised spirit—
the comforter. As at the ascension of Chtist, so
nt the death of the Christian, angels appear to ac
company the soul to Heaven. May we all so live
thls world that our dying day may bean aseea
slon day for us, then we shill see our Saviour as
he Is In Glory.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN TILEI NORTHERN
PART or CARRON COUNTY—HOCH:II BCRNED AND
TIMBEIL DEIMIOYED.—The Mauch Chunk Demo
crat says:—Nearly every year these are disastrous
fires in the woods near White Haven, end this is
not an exception. For two or three weeks there
has been considerable lire and much damage done.
Last Friday near Fawn Ron the fire burst forth
with great fury, driven by a strong north-west
wind. In a few hours the whole neighborhood
were out to stop the flames. Tho East Haven
school-house was burned to the ground and in a
few minutes the house of David Colver was also
in flames. Ills household goods were only saved
by the promtest action. • The fire tore through the
woods to the reelder.ce of A. Gorringer, burning
the house of John Schaffer with all its contents.
Mr. Gorringcr had a very narrow escape. He got
his family out safely and returned to save his
house. Alone he battled with the dames until
completely surrounded. There was no posillble
mode of escape, and his neighbors seeing the aau
ger worked hard for his deliverance. At one time
this seemed nintost Impossible, but be was saved
by the efforts of his devoted friends. Ills barn,
containing it lot of hay, 20 bushels of potatoes, a
carriage and other things of value was destroyed.
The lire now swept through. the woods towards
Hay's (heck. Mr. W. P.Dreisline's hour e and all
its contents were burned to the ground, his family
only escaping with their lives. The lobs falls
benvily on Mr Drelsline us he is a poor man. The
fire crossed over hay's Creek and ran towards
Hickory Run. It has destroyed millions of feet of
lumber and thousands of cords of wood. C. I'.
nolcomb & Co. Keels, Child; & C 0..; Stria:cm.
ventz & Co., and Albert Lewis are among the
heaviest losers. It was only by almost superhu
man efforts that the houses of James Magee, Geo.
Foie and George Welts were saved.
It was only by great efforts that the wholti town
of Leonordevillu was saved from. destruction. In
Ileuryville the hotel nud all its contents were
burned. At Hickory Run the loss is verysievere,
the people being out fighting pre about two dos.
Tottunatuly a heavy rain fell on Monday night
and put the tire out, or It would be Impossible to
say, what the constquences would have been.
I E,nch a destructive fire has seldom If ever visited

NEAL DOW.
The Lecture on Wednesday Evening.
On Wednesday evening The Court House was
partially Riled vrlth no Intelligent audience tolls,
ten to the lecture or Gen. Neal Dot%
was one of a series now delivered In the principal
cities and towns of the State under the auspices
or a committee of leading temperance men at
whose Invitation Deli. Dow was; induced to come
to Pennsylvania for a short time to enllghtentho
people In regard to the operations of prohibitory
legislation in his own State. Gen. Dow, as Is well
known, was the author of the famous Maine Law,
suppressing the liquor traGic In that State, and
which was enacted in the summer of 1851
was Mayor of the city of Forthlot at that thee
and assisted largely in the first execution of the
Ito is therefore entirely familiar• with ite
workings from the beginning. Gen. how is a
medium sized man, very compactly built, with a
pleasing countenance, and a temperament indicat
ing much mental activity, with physical vigor
sufficient to give strength and force to the work
ings of the mind. He Is a pleasant speaker, rather
ru phi, yet fluent, and without any pretensions to
oratory has no trouble in securing the attention
of his audience. Ills style Is of theconversational
order, and there Is an earnestncts about It which
shows that his heart is in the cause ha is advocat-
ug. Unlike (lough lie addresses himself inure to
he under6tanding than to the feelings of his au-
dienco. ills forte is the argumentatide, with
enough of natural humor interspersed to keep his
audience lu a pleasant mood. His address on title
occasion was a strong argument In favor of total
abstinenec as well as prohibition. lie said there
a nothing, except our relations to God, more ho
oortant as a fleeting the interests. of the nation and
of society than the subject of temperance. He
could not understand how any Intelligent andfalr
minded man can fall to view title question In the
satnu manner as tie did—can deny that Intemper
ance Is a great evil, and that society has a right
to protect Itself from Its ravages. Aud yet there
arc such men who oppose temperance. A promi
nent Doctor of Divinity In a public meeting In
Boston a few years agodenounced total abstinence
and advocated the use of Intoxicating liquors. He
took the ground that there Is no danger in using
liquors In moderation. As well might a recruiting
sergeant, seventy years of age, and who had passed
through numerous battles unharmed, Bay to those
o wished to enlist, that there is no danger in foe
ng the bullets of the enemy, because he bad
always escaped. \V hen a moderate drinker Is
dead :tad•not until than may he be considered
safe. The history of the whole world shows that
drunkennegs Is the inevitable result of the moder
ate use of liquor. Thu evil comes from the drink
ing usages of society. Flow are these drinking
usages stistiticed. Not by the miserable outcasts,
the vile and degraded, but by the Intelligent and
respectable—church members andothers of prom
inent moral and social position, who give tone to
society. How are our young men to Judge what

will expose himself to a great peril without
conFideration. The danger of noddy peril, of
battle, is nothing in comparison with the danger
of becoming a drunkard. And what Is the con

to would offer for the multitude of evils that would
follow the drinking usage.: he volunteered to de

contemptible gratification of a perverted appetite.

a few days after, when the proprietor remarked,
" Well, poor Joe'd dead." " Yes," was the reply,
" I'm glad of It. It's just such fellows as him
that keeps up the price of whisky." They drink
so much. A short time after, this same young
man became a heavy consumer and 6000 followed
after poor Joe. You Sec a set of young men — they

set. Gen. Dow reviewed the history of the pas-'
sage of the Maine L tw. It went Into effect in
June, 1951. It was very rigid la Its provisions,
requiring the seizure and destruction of liquor
offered for sale and the imprisonment of the dealer.
The Mayor of Portland, who was no other than
Gen. Dow hintselfolthough be was too modest to
say so, at once Issued a proclamation,. giving the
dealers an opportunity to send their stock of liquors
out of the State, which they did. The signs were
taken down from the saloons and drinking houses,
and In sixty days from the passage of the law 'the
liquor trallie was completely annihilated In the
city. In not one of the 405 drinking places could
any Intoxicating liquor be obtained. In four
months the Jails In live counties were empty, and
toasty of the wodshouses were tennutlesS. The
rumsellers were hunted like rats are In England.
The motto of the temperance men was, 11 Heaven
helping us we will put down the grog shops." The
speaker related a number of Incidents showing the
devices that were resorted to by the sellers who
wished to evade the law, and by drinkers to obtain
liquor.. When the liquor was discovered, it and the
seller were seized and both were put In the place
where they useff to put the drunkards.. They had
a large quantity which had iseetnnulated at the
police court, and It was resolved to empty it out
of the barrels into the sewer. A large crowd as
sembled to witness the operation, and as it bubbled
out of the barrels into this gutter and Into the .
sewer the speaker described very humorously the
countenances of the spectators and One of them
remarked mm . What a shame to waste so much prop
erty." The reply WWI "That the only difference
Is the property tins] to go Into the glitter along
with the drunkard now It goes in alone." Its
co nd effects upon Individuals and families were also
shown by autnercus illustrations. Gen. Dow ex
pressed his stirialse at the Ignorance which pre
vailed in Pennsylvania, even atnong highly latel
llgent people, In regard to the operations of the
Maine Law, many believing it to be an entire fail
ure. This he thought was not very creditable to
an intelligent people. At this tissue, although the
law Is not enforced with quite the same rigidness
as iminediately after Its first passage, in the coun
try places and many of the towns the traffic Is
completely swept out. There Is some secret sell
ing his a few of the larger towns, the same as there
Is counterfeiting, &c., but liquor is to be had at
few places and with considerable difficulty. The
Law is as well If not better enforced than any
other criminal law' lit the State. The present
Governor Is a life-long temperance titan, and In
bls last message sneaks of the law as beim; as
well executed as any other restraining crime.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN SAUCON.—A WO
MAN BURNED TO DEATH DT GUNPOWDEIL—TIVO
CHILDREN ALSO BURNED.—A more horrible acci
dent we are seldoin called upon to "hronlcle than
that which happened at Limeport, Upper Salmon
township, this county, on Monday evening w e k.
It appears !qrs. Ida Wittman, wife of Thomas
Wittman, the latter formerly a clerk in Shimor's
store, went to .the barn to set a hen. She asked •
her husband, who was at the barn, for a lead
pawn with which to mark the eggs. He told her
she would find ono in the tool box In the wood
shed. She went there and while taking down the
tool box some matches were Ignited and a can of
powder fell to the ground, the matches falling
upon It and igniting the powder, which set her
clothing on tire. tier frantic screams brought her
husband to her assistance, who fought desperately
with the flames, but before he could smother them
she was burned to a crisp. Der eldest son, aged
about three years, was also burned very seriously,
and mother child was injured less severely. Mrs .- .
Wittman experienced the most agonizing, pains
until Wednesday evening when death relieved her
from her horrible sufferings. The boy, at last ac
counts, was still living, and the Doctor had hopes
of his recovery, thbugh he was by no means out
of danger. :%Irs. Wittman's maiden name was
Wetherhold, and before her marriage was at the
Eagle Hotel, and after marriage boarded with Mrs.
Josiah Schwartz. She had a largo circle of friends
In this eity,who will mourn her horrible death. Her
husband Is as son of Joseph Wittman, a prominent
citizens and well-known throughout the comity.
SALISBURY AFFAIRIL—MontIay Concert.—
Thu Washington Union Sunday School is meeting
with every success. The large number of parents
always present, Is an item of encouragement.
The monthly recitations on the 7th lust., showed
a spirit of deep interest both with the pupils and
citizens. All the verses recited included the word
Christ. It was surprising to e..e the large number
of verses of this kind memorized' by some of the
pupils even of the primary classes, thus showing
that no small amount, of rcsearth and forethought
was bestowed upon the work. Nu difficulty seems'
'to exist in . preparing the passages. The recita
tions were interspersed with music by the school.
The Rev. W. It. FlotTord, whose services were pro
cured for the occasion, made an able and I mince
sive address, which was well received and could
not but be a source of great encouragementto all.
Ascension Day.—This day was observed by the
people of the vicinity in all appropriate manner.
There was a general suspension of work, and a
day of rest and devotion ensued. Truly a day of
such consolation and gratefulness is a blessed
privilege.
The Literati/ Society.—A motion to make au ad
dition to the library was unanimously carried at
the last meeting. The committee has exercised
great care in its selections. Among the volumes
are "Arabian Night's Estertainments,""Wonders
of the World,"." Pioneer Mothers of the West,"
" A Thousand miles walk in South America,"
‘. Harpers, Weeklp," &c. Select reading, narra
tions and general business are among the regular
exercises of each meeting.
Financial.—On Friday and Saturday last the
auditor examined the School Board and Supervl
sors,reports, attesting and forming a statement of
the finances of the township. It is hoped they
may transmit a full statement to the columns of
the county papers for the special benefit of every
citizen The treasury of the school Is in a good
condition, a heavy surplus being on band, which
It is hoped will be made use of In the most appro.
priateway for the welfare of the coming genera
tion.
The Cotton Factury . .llaq.—The people of Salk
bury,feel probably about a s sorely taken iu through
the numoeuvres of this fraud as elsewhere, Inas-,
much as the site chosen was In their midst. The
anticipations of a rich harvest In the sale of land
has modestly drained to a "still." Farms com
manding rioo per acre now "not for sale."
Mushroom growths are of no durability. •
I'mhe Repairs.—The buildings and fences on
Dr. Foelker's farm are undergoing extensive re
pairs. The old black smith shop at the corner Is
removed and the spot improved. A large and
commodious barn is being erected in the place of
the old one, while the outbuildings complete the
programme.
The Season of Sheep Shearing—Which is a harv

LETTER FROM A HOOSIER

Editor of the Register:
ltegularly as the week comes, comes also the
licnisTEß, 'bringing to me In what you Eastern
people would cull my , far away Westerahotne, all
the little Items of Interest transpiring In your city.
I receive each week not lees than twenty different
newspapers, bat In nil of these there Is. none so
gladly welcomed as the one that reghters panning
events In the quiet, pleasant city of Allentown. I
um not sure whether the excellence of your paper
or the excellence of the people whose doings It
chronicles is moat the reason of its having found
no warm a place fu my affections. lam not sure
but that the many strong attachments formed dur
ing my year's residence to Allentown and a desire
to hear from these valued friends, has as much to
do with the pleasure I feel lu receiving the REGIS
TER as anything else. But then the value of a
local paper is chiefly In its local department and
if yon did not collect, elaborate and publish In an
IlAtractive form all the little Items of Intermit Iran-,
spicing In your community, my desire tokeep my-
Self Informed of the doings of old friends epuld
not be gratified; Bo rifler all It Is the excellence
of ynnr paper that makesit valuable.to tee.

I hope to be In Allentown, if Only for a few
hours, some time in July of this summer and take
all my old friends once more by tbo hand: Some
I see have grown lobe " Professors" while several
lave exchanged their old 'names for new ones and
yet I hope to recognize them all in spite of the
aliases under which they may now be sailing.
We love a very pleasant home In this beautiful
" pnilrle city." Terre Haute, as its
untie indicates, is situated ou "high
ground." Woof the East would term it " a slight
elevation." What we would call Ms are as scares
as lieu's tooth In the greater part of the State of
Indiana, or at least that portion of It through
whi tr0v. , ,1. and yet we have quite an
elevolo,.—sto.lll: fill) leer—over the Wabash river
on which the . city Is located. This river l hardly
wider than Use I.el.lgb ;old k often fordable In
summer :old yo its Ila v, APO mboat navigatio n up
t o thi s p o i n t ,tv to 00,1 months is the year.
Eight railroad.—bur of wlilell have been com
pleted Atte,: we •1 ,rased our enterprise here—run
Into Om 01), in,' or it up tielt sections of country
In every dlrcetbm, the trad, of which Is for the
lOrrit•part drawn to Terre Haute. The result Is
that although our Mien numbers only about 17,000
Inhabitant;—not very many mote than Allentown
—our laude is probably five or six times as large.
Over forty stores have been put up within a year
and not sue but finds a ready tenant. Oar leading
merchants are all liberal advertisers. Three of
us who in ourline of business Fell by far the largest
amount of goods,• run the whole year through a
full column In each of our three daily papers and
the sane amount of space in several weeklies,
every cent of which we estimate we get back at
leas:fits times. Thus, as In all judicious advertis
ing, we are enabled by the very expense to which
we go to undersell thoSe who have yet to learn the
lesson of the value of printer's luk.
We have here a beautifully built towu—symetri
eally laid out and extensively shaded and adorned
with trees. We have au Opera House costing
pr . etty.well up towards a quarter of a million, In
which the peerless Nilsson Warbled one night the
past winter for the snug little sum of $l,OOO an
hour, to an Immense audience. We bad out to
welcome her all the beauty, wit, Intellect and
shoddy aristocracy of our town. Tickets were U
a head. I dld'nt weep'beeituse there were but two
heads In our family old enough to attend. We
were tremendously enthusiastic over ber—we prac
ticed "Jenkinism" to the best of our ability—and
made fools of ourselves in the most approved style.
During the past winter we have bad a fine course
of lectures. Among others who hare favored us
haw) been Anna Dickenson, Mrs. Livermore, Mrs.
Stanton, John B. Gough, Nasby, and George
Francis Train, in which names you run down from
the sublime to the ridiculous, pretty much as In
the order named. So you see we are cared for
both Intellectually and musically.
Our city boasts of '
nany prominent military as
well as civil officers, among the latter being "the
tall eyeamore of the Wabash," otherwise Dan. Vobr
hles—a gentleman who as much as any other Is
the leader of the Democracy in the lower house of
Congress at Washington. De Is the most accom
plished demagogue I have ever met, but withal a
pleasant, good-hearted fellow, whom we Republi
cans find It very hard to beat. We have also
many shining lights In the legal profession. These
lust aro largely employed in procuring divorces
o Eastern people. Recently a move has been made
oward shutting out our Eastern friends from the
advantages (7) of our bey. Ign laws upon this sub
ject. It Is believed that this proposed action will
take away the privilege they have heretofore had
of loosening the hoods of holy matrimony in our
midst, to the daniage and discredit of the good
me of our State. Some other Mecca will have
to be found for those whom man bath joined to
gether and Eastern State law does not put asun
der. It may relieve the anxieties of some of my
Allentown friends to he Informed that a year's
residence In this land of easy divorces has In no
way Interfered with the charming domestic rein
Vona of " Wife and I."
The "shakes," of which I heard so much before
I came West, I do not see tie often hero as In the
East. Indeed our town Into distressingly healthy
that our doctors arc starving, and talk of emi
grating to the East where people ore accotnmo
dating enough to get nick occasionally. I heard
one of them complaining the other day because
there hod been but one death in the city for neurly
a month. -Perhaps you think our doctors are not
" up" lu their profession or the sexton's time
would not hang so heavily upon his hands. (The
"M. D." renders of your paper are requested to
" skip" the last sentence.) So you see " the lines
have fallen to us In pleasant places."
I started this with only the intention of telling
you that yoti should please find enclosed amount
sufficient to renew my subscription to the liguisrpt
for one year, but what was Intended for a simple
note has spun Itself Into quite a loug letter. Mrs.
F. unites with me in wishing Lobe very kindly re
