the State's office at Tienton. Such an omission In
the case of the lease of the Delaware, Lackawanna

cAitll Fito3t:—Tues.lay two \weeks ago,
Tilghman Cooper of Coopersburg, started
with some of his line cattle stock to attend the
Virginia State Fair at Richmond. As he did not
write, his friends became IIIIX lOUS about him, and
the news of the loss of the Missouri at eca render
ed them doubly nervous lest be bad by some mis
chance embarked on that ill fated vessel. But on
Thursday a telegraph dispatch was received from
him by his mother announcing his safety and
good health, nod st,tting that the Fair was about
over and he would he borne la a few days.
LAST week Mr.' Et - Unions and the Orecicy
club, fifty-four strong, wandered for an hour
through several streets, hunting for;frauds. Not
finding any and di.sgusted with their fruitless en
deavors, they straggled wearily back to head=
quarters and disbanded forever and a day. They
lights , were so dim that the committee of four
citizens at the bead of tho . ilue could not ho din
tingul6hed from the pavement except when the
dismal procession passed a friendly inmpost.
THE COST OF Niut.a COAL.—Mr. P. P.
McAndrews, Clerk of the Mining District of
Schuylkill reports to the Miners' Journal the fol
lowing casualities In and about the mines, froln
January 17th to October 23d, 1872: In the min
ing district 61 persons were killed ; 211 maimed
and injured ; leaving 43 widows and 143 orphans.
Casualties In the district not connected with the
mines-15 killed ; 80 maimed and Injured ; leav
ing 28 widows and 81 orphans. Total number
116; injured, 291 ; widows, 71 ; orphans,
227.
LOCAL. OPTIoN.—The Legislature of Penn.
Sylvania passed an act last winter prescribing
that once every three years the citizens of the va
rious comities of the State should vote upon the
question of license or no license. If upon count
ing the votes the majority of them in any county
should be In favor of no license, then It shall not
be lawful for the Court of said county to grant
any license for the sale of any spirituous and in
toxicating liquor during those three years. The
first vote upon this question is to be taken at the
Spring election, the third 'Friday of March, 1873.
ONOKO Git,rat.—Wo have learned that It is
the Intention of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany to change the name of Onoko Olen, above
Mauch Chunk, to some other deemed mere beau
tiful and appropriate. We trust the Company
will take uo such step. The weird valley has
been extensively advertised as "Onoko," and by
that name has endeared Itself to hundreds who
have nought its romantic retreats. No use of
borrowing a name from Longfellow, Cooper or
any other author, when It already has a softer
and more beautiful title than their works can
furnish. Improve Ouolto Olen, gentlemen, to
your heart's content, but let its name alone.
Tun expense 'bf try log the riot cases now
before the Court, cannot be less than, Including
everything, two thousand dollars. The time of
the Court and nine counsel la taken up by she trial
for four days end perhaps longer, the business
routine of court proceedings is broken up, and
when the trial is over we do not believe that there
will be nay great ends of Justice subserved. The
men should be tried, and the present expense and
waste of time is unavoidable, as It Is unfortunate.
Ot.e feature of the evidence Is very Interesting;
every witness called thus far by the prosecution
did nothing In the way of promoting the fight, but
was unlucky enough toget hit by the riotersorho
ever these latter were.
HORSE lIILLICD.-012 Tuesday noon as Mr.
Tligh. Newhard's team of two horses were being
driven with a load of cement across the L. &B.
R. R.' at Siegfried's Bridge, the noon express
train up unfortunately came along and struck one
of the horses, killing it almost Instantly. The
other horse though somewhat Injured, was not
seriously hurt. The teamster got on the track
before he wan aware of the proximity of the train,
and tried to back his horses out of the way but
could not do so. The horse thus lost was valued
at $2OO. ••

TOE WAY TO ENCOURAOIS HOME ENTER
use.—We aro Informed that money woe collected
in Lebanon, for one of our churches for the pur
pose of buying carpet. The carpet was then pur
chased at Allentown, when It could have been
purchased at cost. We do not wish to allude to
this matter In a personal way, but we do think
that It Is n poor way of building up your town.
if Allentown had subscribed the money, nothing
could be said, but as the money was contributed
here, It should have been spent here. —Lebanon
News.
Perhaps the carpet dealers In Allentown can
afford to sell carpets at what they call "coat"
price In Lebanon, and still have a fair proult. If
they want anything else In Lebanon,our merchants
have It on hand at reasonable rates. •
ATTEMPTED RAPE.-011 TilUD3ddy morning
Henry Amer was arrested by,Officer Kleckner and
taken before Alderman Heebner, on the charge of
having attempted to commit a rape upon Mrs.
Matilda Newhard, residing in Clapboardstettle.
Mrs. Newhard stated that she was approaching
her home carrying a basket, when Amer exposed
his person and attacked her. She dropped her
basket and ran, Arner giving chase. She escaped
him and told her husband, who with a party of
men started out and after a chase caught Arner
and bound him with a rope. Alderman Heebner
held defendant in three hundred dollars to an
swer.
Fon a thrifty corporation, but a hard one
to employes, commend us to the Shimeraville
Turnpike Company. A party of gentlemen driv
ing at midnight some time since from the direc
tion of Zionsville, found their progress obstructed
by a toll-gate. After a great deal of shouting and
waiting, a very old man shambled out of the toll
house Into the chilly air. When asked why the
gate was closed at so late an hour, be said, "It
must be closed." " Well, how much is the toll 'I"
"One cent—Oh! you've cot two horses—two

NATIONAL CAMP MgETIMO.—The National
Camp Meeting of the M. E. Church of the United
States will be hold at Landisville, on the line of
the Reading and Columbia Railroad, next sum -
mer. The meeting will be under the charge of
Rev. Dr. Pattison, Presiding Elder of the Read
ing District, and a number of the most eminent
clergymen of the Methodist denomination will
take part In the services. It Its estimated that
fully one thousand tents will be erected, and a
majority of the States of the Union will be repre
sented. It will continue for ten days, and will
be the greatest occasion of the kind ever witness
ed in Pennsylvania.

Soya KnAtT.—The scarcity of cabbage,
thla year, renders It somewhat doubtful whether
there will be anything like a fair supply of sour
kraut prepared for winter's use. We have heard
a good many persons say that they would not be
able to makd any, lu consequence of the failure
of their cabbage crop, and as this valuable article
of diet cannot be made out of turnips or any other
vegetable that we know, why we take It for
granted that It will be scarce. This Is greatly to
bejegretted, as we have all grown so fond of sour
kraut of late years, that Its absence; even for one
season, will be seriously felt. We trust that the
little green worm that destroyed our hopes this
summer, may be burned up with unquenchable
tiro before the time comes again to cultivate our
cabbage crop.
FOGELSVILLE ITML—The Macungie Loan
and Building Association met on the 21st inst.,
at the public house of Itenry Correll, Dr. F. 3
Slough in the chair. After the reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting it was toned that
the cash receipts amounted tp $1,593. 20. With
this amount the following shares were satisfied:
There were sold 7 shares ou mortgage at $2B pre
mium per share, and 2 shares on mortgage at
$29.50 per share. Fractional share of $9B at a
premium of 30 cents for 30 days. Four shares
due at this meeting wero re-bought at a premium
of $3O. Not only did the Association satisfy nine
shares as above ghee, hot cancelled five shares
more that were forfeited, thus making the whole
number satisfied for this month fourteen shares, to
last month when were satisfied fifteen, which goes
to show that the Association is in a prosperous
condition.
IT is evident that the large Iron Corpora.
Mons of this valley are looking forward to and
providing against the time, perhaps distant, when
the iron ore deposits of Lehigh county will be
come exhausted. The purchase by them of large
tracts of land containing ore In different parte of
the State with no Intention of immediately taking
out ore, indicates that time is being wisely taken
by the forelook. The largest Investment of this
kind of which wo have beard, Is that of the pro
perty, including railroad, furnace, village, &c.,
of the Booth Mountain Iron Company of Cumber
land county, by the Thomas Iron Company of
Hokendauena, for a consideration of nearly a
million of dollars ) and this latter corporation Is
always paying large dividends on Its stock. Never
was there a mote prosperous period In the history
of the iron business In this country, than the
present ; and long may it continue, foeterod by
the wise polity of a Republican administration.

A HEAVY PORCHABE.—The Thomas Iron
Company has bought from the South Mountain
Iron Co., 2500 or 3000 acres of ore and timber
land in Cumberland county, for about $1,000,000.
The purchase Includes a railroad about 25 miles
long, leading from Carlisle to the property, a
charcoal furnace, forge, saw mill, store, mansion
house, and a small town of laborers' dwellings.
The purchase was consumated about two weeks
ago. About one-half the amount was paid by the
Thomas Iron Company assuming that amount of
bonds of the South Mountain Iron Company. The
property contains an immense amount of timber,
but underneath the Boil Is hidden the precious
metal which the Thomas Iron Company is after,
and which will be transported to their different
works In this county whenever they run short of
Lehigh county ore.

MATIIIMONIAL.—Our friend Mr. Amandus
J. Kleppinger, on Tuesday, resigned the privileges
and inconveniences of bachelorhood for the hap
piness and responsibilities of the married relation.
Ito was married to Miss Annie Strauss, of White
hall, daughter of Mr. Thomas Strauss, at the resi
dence of the bride's father, by the Rev. Alfred
Dobbs; and in every event of their future life the
happy pair may rest assured of the best wishes of
their very many friends.
"Fools live alone, but wise men marry;
Be wise, young man, and do not longer tarry,"
which advice of the poet has been accepted by all
of !deur& Lawfer& Steckel's clerks, of whom the
subject of this notice was the last to act, but not
the least determined when the time came, by any
means. The establishment Is now all married,
and while we are on this subj•nt we may as well
give the public the benefit of our recollection.
Flret to go oil was, we believe, Charles Nurinc
=cher, two yearn ago, all of which time since it
has taken the rest to make up their minds, for
Alfred F. Berlin, George 11. Klepploger, Charles
Keck and A. J. Kleppinger have all married
within the last two or three months. But the list
LOOT( OUT FOR SWINDLERS.—WO find the
following In an exchange, and give It for
the benefit of its cAution :—" A correspondent In
forms us that the towns of Lancaster, Columbia,
York and Middletown have lately been visited by
two swindlers (one an American and the other a
Jew,) who have carried away sums of money by
false pretense. Their mode of swindling Is as
follows: They go to private dwellings only be
tween the hours of nine a. m. and five p. m.,
iintrwing that they will find the mechanic absent
thus allowing them to deal with credulous women.
They offer eight needles for one dollar and Issue
a ticket, at the same time saying that they are
agents for Evans .t Co., Broadway, New. York,
and that In this gift enterprise they `have no
blanks,' 15 to $5O. They further assert that these
presents will be deliver td In twenty days and
brought to tho door of the one who invests. They
aro very polite and kind in transactions. Evans
& Co. do not exist In New York as represented
by them, and the whole thing is to swindle and
rob the poorer classes. These rascals were tracked
to this place last week, but, we are told, they
found it too hot, and fled to parts unknown. Of
ficers are on their track, and we hope our police
will be on the lookout for them, as they are want
ed. Let our neighboring papers advertise them,
that the public may be on their guard and justice
overtake them. They operated here a short tub
since, but among the poorer classes, as Is their
y custom.
Is all tallied now, and the record is complete, and
they all join In the chorus, " Oh, happy day that
fired my choice."
HYMNS, at present, to a good example of
what a blast furnace will do for a place. While
the company, from some mlefortunee, has not
made enough money to meet expectations, the
citizens of that town have felt the advantages
that the Iron buslcees has brought to them and
the town has increased in size and wealth, and
bide fair to become a place of no small Impor
tance.
We bear of an enterprise which le soon to be
establiehed there, the nature of which we are not
at liberty to divulge, which will add still more to
the character of the town.
Moses Wicand's now dwelling Is nearly com
pleted and adds one MOM to the handsomo . homes
of the borough• In point of architectural design
there aro few more attractive residences In the
county.
The Emaus furnace is running out about
105 tons of iron per week. As the furnace has
been running only a few weeks, this cannot be
taken as an average of what it can be made to
do, even with Its present defective hot blast. Mr.
Nielson has the contract for making the Iron, he
delivering the Iron on the Reading Railroad track,
from which point tho Iron Company ships It to Its
destination.
The other day the cylinder head of the blowing
engine was cracked. This Injury
• will be repaired
In a few days.

found a last notice of payment to all persons In

Concan . r.—'flie Opera House was filled on
Wednesday night to almost Its entire capacity
for seating with the best character of audience
that can be Induced to attend an entertainment In
Allentown. In fact, It most bo acknowledged
that the places outside of this city where tickets
were offered for sale were more prompt to respond,
comparatively, to the support of the enterprise
than our own citizens. The audience was very
large, select, and appreciative, the concert sur
passed itself In excellence, and the result of the
evening Is most creditable to the young whose
money was so liberally risked In the doubtful and
expensive speculation.
We will not pretend to criticise the manner in
which the opening selection of
. tho evening was
rendered, but will for ourselves condemn It as unfit
to be played within doom, where the room Is as
small as that at the Opera House. It was too
loud and harsh to prepossess one favorably with
what was to follow, and If any one can find It In
them to admire the grating blasts of that horn
with which the air was shredded towards the
close of the piece, we hope they have escaped the
earache. After this first "blaster," the pro
' gramme was unequaled, each rendition eliciting
the prompt and hearty response of the auditors,
especially the Waltz by Strauss, put down with
the caption of" Wine, Woman, and Song." Mr.
Osgood, the tenor, is a good singer, but not what
was expected of him ; Mr. Candldus, who was
herewith Ole Bull, is a much superior tenor. Ms
songs were well received and apparently very
much liked.
We referred above to Ole Bull, the violinist,
whose hitherto unrivalled fiddling was almost, if
not quite, equalled last night by a young member
of the Orchestra, Mr. Jaelbsolm. This gentleman
handled his bow in a manner so perfect that it
seems almost Impossible to admit of correction or
improvement; and if he does not outdo his vener
able rival, Ole Bull must maintain a constant
practice. Notwithstanding the large. audience,
we learn that the young men lose In the enterprise
about twenty dollars.
ALLENTOWN TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.—The

In the matter of interior house-decorations,
such as curtains and elegant upholstery of every
description, Philadelphia has long been prover
bial for superior taste and fair dealing. Much of
this reputation Is due to the popular old house of
I. E. Wairaven, 719 Chestnut street. Among the
latest trophies of his enterprise we aro permitted
to chronicle the recent refitting throughout of
Willard'a Hotel, Washington, I). C., with cur
tains, coverings, and all the various interior dec
orations, many of which were imported to order
by Mr. Wa'raven. Just now, also, his warerooms,
in addition to the usual attraction fur the ladles
of " lovely new things" in the curtain depart
ment, present the almost sensational merit of such
ancient embellishments of royalty as Americana
have heretofore only had the opportunity of ex
amining in visiting the places of crowned heads
In foreign lands ; we refer to some very costly
and magnificent specimens of the real Gabelin.
tapestries which form such a conspicuous - feature
in the decorations of the historical halls and royal
chambers in the various courts of Europe. A
single piece of these wonderful hand wrought
works of medireval tapestry art, now to be seen
among other specimens at Walraven's, was pre
sented to a lady of rank by the tiao* of Louis
XIV. of France, and Is valued at an enormous
figure. We may add, also, that Mr. Walraven's
present stock of curtains and materials is certain
ly not surpassed In this country.—Phila. Press.
Mr. Walraven's advertisement appears In an
other column.
THE lIORSE DISEASE has obtained a firm foot
hold in Philadelphia. Many of our citizens who
visited that city yesterday had a difficulty in get
ting down town. The Fifth and Sixth streets line
had no horses In condition to run and all their
ears were off. The dummies were tried, bit re
quired some alteration before they could be used
on the main line. Towards evening one of the
machines was put ou the track, with three, cars
following, which preseut,d an unusual sight for a
city railway. All day yesterday crowds of people
were collected at Sixth and Chestnut and other
points waiting to see the dummy, but they waited
in vain, unless they 6tuyed there until about six
o'clock. If they had been country people they
would have been laughed at for their curiosity,
but they were not. The Fourth and Eighth, and
Tenth and Eleventh streets lin a ran cars frequent
ly and many of the passengers arriving at the
North Penn. Depot got down town by ORO of these
lines, while some 'went to Ninth and Columbia
Avenue and took the cars on the Norristown Road
to Ninth and Green.
Drays, wagons, etc., are to great demand
demand far exceedinK the supply—and exorbitant
charges are made for transportation. In some
Instances men were used to draw loaded wagons.
One of the P. t R. Express wagons lost Its and.
some grays, whose place was supplied by mules
which appeared very much unaccustomed to that
kind of work.
The disease Is showing Itself In the country, and
Is quite prevalent In Bucks and Montgomery coun
ties. A Mr. Bean, whose stable Is near Sellers
ville, bad four out of six horses affected by the
disease yesterday morning, and some of his neigh
bors' stock also showed symptoms, There can
be no doubt of Its ultimate appearance here, and
It behooves our farmers and others who own the
noble brute to take every precaution to stay the
ravages of the disease.

I would gladly send you a readable Item but
nothing noticeable has transpired. Even the Pres
idential election does not stir up any excitement.
Still the coalitionists will poll nearly their whole
October force, though some of-them arc reported
to vote for some local characters for the fun of the
thing, while others will not vote at all. Most of
them give up In. despair, and by voting merely
wish to make a party show. There is some cx
cltement about our Post-Office, Robert Pelsert the
present incumbent wishes to retain, while other
parties wish to get a hold of the same, among
whom Joe. A. Weaver, bookseller, Is an active
aspirant. It is rather early yet to bother about
it, because the election Is not yet .over, and the
present commission does not expire until June
The fire department Is active in trying their ap•
