On last Sunday about aeon this com
munity was startled by the announce
ment ii:at Miss Mary A. Eurria had been
foand in her room dead, all of which waa
true. The facts are these : Miss Burris waa
a maiden woman, having a room in Mrs Re
becca Pannebaker'a house on Chrry street.
They two were the only occupants of the
house, taut Friday Mrs. Pannebakcr saw
Miss Burris the last time alive-. It was no
unusual occurence for the latter to be away
for a day or two at a neighbor'a, and when
the former did not see Miss Burris on Satur
day the conclusion naturally and immediate
ly reached was that ahe was staying at some
neighbor's place. On Sunday forenoon
Mr. John Batesholtx called to inquire for
the health of Miss Burris, he being a brother-in-law.
His knocking at her room door
brought no response. He tried the doar-
Making inouirv and Uarninc that she had I
'
not been sern in tte house stfee Friday !
was aulficient to cause her friends to call j
on the neighbors with whom it was known
she had recently spent a portion of her
time. The families cll-d on had not seer!
her within a number of days. Being ic-!
formed of these forts about noon, her 1
nephew, Mr. S. D. Batesholtx, went to her I
room door and tried the knob, bat the door
wis locked aa when his father had been
there some hours before. A look into the
key -hole revealed the key ia the lock ; thts
awakened the belief that Miss Burris, in all
probability, then lay in the room. A ladder
waa obtained and put up to a window of her
room, through hicb a. U. oatesholls en
tered. He was shocked to find bis auut
lying on the floor, on her back, dead. Tie
room contained a bed ; it waa not rumpled.
The owner evidently did not nse it oa the
day or night in which ahe died. On a stand
not far from where she lay, stood a coal oil
lamp with no oil in it, all having been burned
out through the wick. The old lady's spec
tacles lay by her aide ; a stocking partly
knit, with a needle with a few stitches on it,
and a ball of yarn waa on the floor close by,
all of which gave rise to the conjecture
that death overtook her while she aat by
her lamp knitting. Her nephew did not
disturb ber, but informed the friends and
Justice Krieder, who summoned the follow
ing jurors : J. II. Simons, H. P. Seeds, W.
B. Hak, J. L. North, Caleb Parker, and
John Wagner, all near neighbors, to hold
an inquest on the body, which was done,
and a verdict rendered as follows : "That
Miss Mary A. Burris had no mark of vio
lence appearing about bcr body, and died
by the visitation of God in a natural way
aud not otherwise" She waa in the 72nd
year of her age.

Expreriesce, it is said, is wisdom.
Asia was tbe birth-place of man, ac

true then that experienee is wisdom)
and the orthodox view is correct, what
a wonderful place the East must be.
Their experience has run through so
many yeaia, and has been of such va
ried character that what they pronounce
on, one would think should be accepted
as sound. For tbe benefit then,
of our bachelor friends and widowers
we quote from a poet of Hindoos tan as
to how tbe marriage relation prepares
a man for tbe future happy state :
"A Uindoo died ; a happy thing to do
ben fifty years united to a sniew.
Releasedhe hopefully for entrance cries
Before the gates of Brahma's Paradise :
Hast been throngh Purgatory r' Brahma said
1 have been married! '-and he hong his bead.
Come in, come in, and weleome,too, my eon;
Marriage and Purgatory sre as one.'
In bliss extreme he entered Heaven's door,
And knew the peace he ne'er bad known
before.
lie scarce had entered in the gardens fair,
Another Hindoo aaked admission there,
The self same question Brahina asked again :
Hast been through rurgatwry r o. n au

Thou canst not enter !' did the god reply.
H Who went in waa there no more than I.
'All that is true, but be haa married been,
And so on earth has suffered for all sin.'
Married t Tis well, for I've been married
twice!'
Begone! We'll have no fools'in Paradise I'"

No Woikee ho Katek. One of
our intelligent farmers, sometime ago,
conceived a good idea to get rid of
tramps, and after a few months' trial
the plan succeeded so well that he bas
deemed it prudent to make it known
for the benefit of his frieuds and neifh.
bors. Tbe plan adopted was aj fol
lows : lie prepared himself with sub
stantial wood-saw and b'ick, and it was
his intention, whenever a tramp pre
sented himself and asked for lodging
to bring oat the implements to the
wood pile aod inform the gentlemen if
he would saw wood for one hour, sup
per, lodging and breakfast would be
furnished him. He also prepared him
self with a register in which to keep a
rtcorj of the names of bis callers, to
see if any would return the Second
time. To his surprise, however, only
two tramps visited his house in the
space cf four months thereafter, and he
believes that tbe nomads are possessed
of some means of informing tLeir fel.
lows cf the work before them, should
they stop at this house, and they have
since kept clear of the premises. Be.
fore he adopted this plan be was visited
almost daily by one or more of tbese
scalawags, and this is evidence enough
to his mind that gome one who had pre.
vious'.y enjoyed his hospitality, had
placed some hiercglyphie marks on his
out-bouses and gate posts, thus noti
fying his kind of the good heart pos
sessed by the proprietor. Since then
be believe these marks have been eras.
cd, and all tramps, with the exception
of the two mentioned above, have
steered wide of our friend's tnsosion.
We would suggest that others try this
method, and we believe they will be
raved a deal of trouble. Public Opin
ion f
Anwovncemest J.ft II. A.Stam-
baugh respectfully announce to the
public that in order to settle up the
estate of e. Statubaugh, deceased tbey
have determined to close out their very
large assortment bf general merchan

all titfes keep a full assortment of Cal
icoes, Muslics, Cottonades, Ginghams,
Notions, ic , together with a full line
of Syrups, Sugars, Coffee, Sosps and
spices.
Our terms from this date will be pos
itively Cath, except to farmers having
product accounts with ns. The losses
incident to tbe pernicious credit sys
tem make the cssb system necessity
with us.
Quecnaware, G!assre, and many
other lines of goods will be sold with
out regard to east, for cash.
We will also state that oh tbe first
of April we will move tbe balance of
our stock yet retraining into tbe very
handsome store room in the Odd Fel

mercantile business, we will sell tbe en
