The AnDOUßßeellltellt last Thursday
that the New York, Philadelphia, and
washington Banking houses of Jay
Cooties Co. had suspended' caused a rev •
erisb anxiety throughout the whole
country. People wondered what would
co me next. Jay Cooke has been very
prominently identified with all of the
Gorernuient's heavy financial trausac-
LlOlO5 for the last ten or twelve years,'and
when his pecuniary' troubles were flashed '
along the wires on last Thursday noon,
i t was believed by many that the Nation.
ai Treasury was the heaviest loser, But
happily the belief did not prove to be
wei 1- fo an ded, for later in the day Secre
tary Richardson caused it to be stated
that his Department would lose little or
no thing through Mr. "Cooke's mb,sfor.
vines. The latter believes that hia w
ags equal his liabilities, and attributes
h3g present financial embarrassment to
ice nnproductiveness of a large number
of shares of Railroad stock which he was
c arrying. On the other hand, many ixk
i fere that Mr. Cooke is hopelessly gone,
cancially, and that his liabilities are in
e y.cst:aQ of his assets fully twenty millions
of dollars._
Since tlie \above was in type we notice
tcg: a great panic prevailed in Wall

guardians too, have no little trouble in
getting others to become sureties for
them for the money that will likly fall
into their hands. As to getting one man
to go on another's note in bank, that is
nearly out of the question. To be cau

that the general timidity now is not only
i nconvenient, but is working a good deal
of injurTbesides.
A Large Onion.—Mr. Smith Craven,
who resides in Darlington township, this
county, raised from the 'iced this year a
red onion which weighs .twelve ounces.

stands he made his first camp, cutting
away pawpaw bushes for the purpose.
With other settlers there, he built and
lived in a stockade, and lived the life of
a frontiersman, half soldier, half farmer,
until advancing civilization drove back
the savages, and in his old age, yet many
years ago, he secured and enjoyed peace.

—The most popular questiOn at present
Is, are you going to the fair?
—Freedom, so 'tie said, has the largest
number of pretty girls of - any town in
this county. "And yet we are not hap

—The Presbyterians of Roche4ter; are
at present devising ways , and means to
erect a church of that denomination In
that town.
—The reunion and banquet of the
Army of the Cumberland are over and
Pitts burghers have commenced to "sober
up again."
—A belligerent individual of the tec
tonic persuasion, ; by the name of Leise,
who figured as a witness in a case before
'Squire Marks, of Rochester, on last Sat
urday created quite a sensation by evinc
ing a disposition ,to run things to suit
himself, or slaughter some nn e in the at
tempt.
—We think it is fair to presume That
the number of fair ones who will assem
ble at` Beaver this week to witness the
fair, providing the weather is fair, will
be fairly immense; and we hope that
they will all fare well.
—Through the folly of Miss Guidance,
a blind man, Dv the name of Kerr, was
lad astray from the narrow path and fell
through the R. R. bridge at Beaver sta
tion, on the Fort Wayne road, thereby
sustaining severe injuries. The unfortu

—The hat trade in Rochester is in a
very demoral!zed condition at present.
Mrs. Ashbaugh, who lives near the hta
tion, in that town, entertained some
company last Friday evening and the
male portion of the assemblage left their
hats on the rack in the hall on entering.
As they were about to depart they dis
covered that the rack had been most ef
fectually divested of everything in the
shape of a hat. It is now considered
very impolite to take off your hat in that
locality, and any one who does, is brand
ed as a "green 'un' by the knowing ones.
—A certain boot and shoe dealer of
Rochester received a call from an unusu
ally early customer one morning last
week, and purchased a pair of boots for
seven dollars and tendered him a fifty
dollar bill in payment for the same, but
as the man of boots and shoes did not
have enough currency in the drawer• to
change the bill, and the banks not yet
being open, he just, stepped across the
street to the store of a fellow-merchant
who accepted the bill and furnished the
required amount of change %bleb, in
turn was handed to the early purchaser.
It was shortly afterward discovered that
the fifty dollar bill was a base counterfeit
and returned to the boot and shoe dealer,
who was obliged to become the loser, as

account over several times and says he

Luck.—The Messrs. Darragh, ofSharon,
who have been operating among the oil
wells of Butler county recently, received
a telegram last Friday informing them
that the workmen at one of their wells
had just tapped a 600 barrel well. Of

About the Great Saud.—The bond
for $15,500,000, the amount for the Genera
award is held by tha Secretary of State in
that department, and is not placed for
safe keeping in the Treasury, as many
supposed. The bond is made payable to
the order of the Secretaty of State, and of
course,. no one else could procure any
money on It. So far as danger of it be
ing stolen is concerned, officials at Wash
ington, have no fear, as it would be of no
use to the thief. The bond is for the
largest amount of money ever issued by
any Government in a,single transaction.

Pima—The Beayer Argus is to be uni
ted with the Radical, and the consolida
ted paper will be hereafter issued by the
Beaver County Printing Company under
the name of the Beaver ABGIIS AND RAD
ICAL. Hon. J. S. ROtan will have edito
rial control of the piper, and Capt. Wey
and Of the Aztor;rs takes charge of the bus
iness dePartrneat. The Republicans of
Beaver county, as well as the .gentlemen
more leomecitately concerned in the eli
te:prise, are cer tainly to be congratula
ted upon this arivagment; **alma& as
it cannot MI to prove advantageous to
both alike. Whore two political papers
attempt to live on patronage that is • only
equal to the edequate Support of one,
they are.apt to become hindrances rather
than helps to the organizatioa they pro
fess to represent, for the reason that they
are mostly compelled rely to a greater er
less extent upon. aid furnished usually
by men whdse personal interests and
schemes they are in turnexpected to pro
mote by every means in their power. In
this way thiy generally become organs
of individ u als instead of reliable expo
nents of the political faith they profess
to have espoused. Public journals that
have no higher aim than to advance per
sonal interests and aspirations are often
a prolific Source of strife and dissentiou ,
in the ranks of the organization they
profess to serve, for the reason that they
are generally made thee onduits through
which all the spleen of rival factions is
poured upon the public to the serious
detriment of the cause to which they
clihn to be devoted. We by no means
accuse the two tournals above named
with having descended to this level, but
the unseemly controversies that some
times took place between them indicated
but too plainly a kind of rivalry from
which the common enemy was always
glad to profit. The Republicans of Bea
ver county have reason to rejoice, there
fore, that the consolidation has been at
fected. and all difficulty on this score re
ino/ved. There are other counties in
western Pennsylvania where a similar
arrangment would prove highly benefi
cial, and where we would be glad to see
it adopted.— Washington Reporter.
—The Beaver .Argus and Beaver Radi

after be published under the name if the
Beaver ARGUS AND RADICAL. Hon. J.
S. Ratan will assume editorial control
of the paper, and Mr. Weyand, former
editor of the Argus, Fin be business
manager. This consolidates two papers
that were, somewhat hostile during the
late campaign, and will doubtless tend to
consolidate and strengthen the Republi
can pariy in that county. Senator Ru
tan's long exderieuce in public life and
thorough aoquaintance with the politi
elanS of the State, phcaliarly lit him for a
political editor, and the ABOUS AND RAD
ICAL will certainly wield a potent influ
ence, not only id its own county, but
throughout the State.—Carlisle Herald.
The Beaver .Radicat and , the Beaver
Argus, both published in Beaver, Pa.,
have made :arrangments to consoli
date. The new paper will be called the
Beaver AROUB AND RADICAL, and will be

paper.— Cart oil Free Press.
—The Beaver Radical and the Argus
have been consolidated, with the Hon.
James IS. Rutan as editor and Mr. Wey
and, of the Argus as business manage .
From this It would seem that a truce has
been declared between the rival Republi

courtesy and moderation in the discus

The Monongahela Republican says:
The young men of that most enterprising
town of California, have formed a Li
brary Association and have already
funds on hand to begin a good work .
A public library has special claims as
an educational institution, to the moral
and material support of a town. The,
college - is only the first stage of educa
tion; it but prepares the mind to acquire
the knowledge from books which the
books oontain. And the library exerts
a highly moral influence, not only as a
necessary incident of education, but by
p l
rescuing the young men fr m the haunts
of idleness . We therefore ope the citi
zens of California will tronize with
abed purses their Library Association.
But indeed this admonition is scarcely ,
needed to the Californians, for they have
and do still exhibit a wonderful public
spirit-- . -oiae which few towns in the west
equal.

exoept the breaking out of the scurvy,
which, however, was unattended by se
vere symptoms. Plentiful supplies of
walrus liver for food were obtained from
the natives, and to this diet is attributed
the, mildness of the disease. In the
spring two boats were built of Aida- pine
boards taken from the cabin of the Polar-,
