How is this ! " The Rev. Dr. Phil lips Brooks, of Boston, has his life iuured for one hundred thousand dollars in favor of his church." ArnrroK Gektral Schell, when he went out of office last week, left three and a half million dolhirs tax un collected, due by corporations. So report from Harrisburg says. A coMPAsr propose to keep Chest nut street, Philadelphia, "lit up" every night for the period of .one year with '"electric light," for the sum of five thousand dollars. Tbe Star Route mail ring frauds are being investigated. Proceedings were begun in Philadelphia against "straw bidders," and others that were engaged in the crooked business. A run was made by depositors on the Franklin Savings Bank of New York last week, but the institution stood the shock. Seventy thousand dollars were paid out on Thursday. A sofBER of city editors are advo cating, that no men who are, or who have been actively connected with the speculative insurance companies should be nominated for office, and if nominated they should be de feated. The operations of Father llaloner, the priest who worked miracles at Erie, this State, have been discovered to be no miracles. It is reported now that the girl that was raised from the dead was in business with the Father to trick the public. Long ago, about the time the Jews were in the Wilderness, there was a canal across the Ihthmus of Suez. It is a strip of canal that is hard to ket-p open, because of the encroach ment of the Ban.l. Last week a steamer grounded, and the canal was closed to traffic till the ship was got cf It is a costly piece of business to keep the canal open. It is a question why Auditor Gen eral Schell did not conclude the trou ble with certain corporations before his retirement from office. Why did he leave $3,000,000 tax to be collect ed or not collected by the new Audi tor General ? Does he wish to em barrass the Lemon management to such a degree as to make political capital for the Democratic State ticket ! Tje Duke of Sutherland, a Scotch nobleman, is traveling in this coun trv now. lie was in this State last week. At Carlisle he visited the In tlian school, and so highly was he pleased that he delivered a speech, in which he praised the aims of the school. Nothing in this country that he had seen had afforded him eqij interest and pleasure. As the Duke is a blooded aristocrat, and as all such people date their ancestry back to tribal days, perhaps the Duke had wondered away into the mazes of the past to the time when his ancestors were trib.il "barb;uiaus" in Scotland. Perhaps he was speculating in his mind as to the aristocrat of five, six, or eight hundred years in the future that will date his ancestor from the tribal Indian boy at Carlisle in 1881. Who knows what hidden thought caused the Duke to find or see. more interest in the Indians at Carlisle than in all the other objects brought to his attention in America? Washtsgtoh city was excited over the action of President Garfield last Thursday. The cause of the excite ment is the action of the President in regard to certain appointments in New York State. Among the num ber of appointments made, and which required the confirmation of the United States Senate, was that of Judge Robertson for the office of Collector of New York. It is consid ered that the Judge is a Garfield man not that the others are not Gar field men, but that tbey are more Couklwg than Garfield men. For some reason or other a Senate caucus of the Republican members so shaped things ilmi it became understood that Robertson should not be con firmed in his nomination this ses sion. When President Garfield heard cf that purpose of the Senators he sent to the Senate and recalled all of the nominations for New York ex cepting that of the Judge. The nominees recalled are Conkling's friends. The Presidat allows Lis own nomination to stand. It is a crisis wherein the exercise of sound ju lgment is needed to prevent a rup tore with the President. GarfieiJ bos always been a strict Republican, not for office's sake, but because his mind and heart approves of the prin ciples that underlie the political sys tem of the Northern States, and therefore he is strong with the mass of the party, and it will prove a dif fi.wlt thin? to belittle him because he desires to exercise certain prerog-atirts mm A rrmmn from Lackawanna coun ty was offered im the Legislature last week, praying for the impeachment of Governor Hoyt and Attorney gen eral TJL W. Palmer, for pardoning Kfcmble and others, and for appoint ing certain officers of the judiciary in the county named. The petition was mostly signed by wild Irishmen from the mining region. The Legis lature voted the petition out of their proceedings. Whe a certain petition was read in the Legislature last week, with a certain member's name on it, the mem ber arose and declared that he never signed the petition, and that the man who put his name there did it without consulting with him. It was tne peti tion against General Hoyt and Attor ney General Palmer. A prosecution for forgery would compel such peti tioners to confine their action to some thing like respectable methods. A New York paper says : u Prof. Chandler, in renortinff to the New York Board of Health the result of his inquiries into the subject of oleo margarine, says it is superior in all respects to the poorer grades of dairy butter sold in New York ; that there is nothing objectionable either in the material or its manufacture ; that there is nothing unwholesome in oleomargarine, and be sees no need of legislation in regard to it to pro tect the public health." It is humorous to hear Democrats tell that the Democracy has not changed. It is real funny to hear Democrats in the next breath declare that the Democracy are in favor of the amendments to the Constitution which give the colored man a vote, and so forth. If it was Democracy to enslave the colored man, and if Democracy has not changed, how can Democracy be in favor of the freedruan, and the enfranchisement of the colored people ? The JVorM American says: The health inspectors of Chicago have found that in one establishment in that city 3,000,000 pounds of rags were used in one year for the manu facture of mattresses by the shoddy process. These rags had been picked out of the sewers, and at least a por tion of them came from hospital sources. It is not easy to imagine the amount of disease germs which such debris might carry, or to esti mate exactly under what conditions they would become active. There is an unpleasant suggestiveness thus conveyed in connection with cheap bedding of the "shoddy" variety. The subject is one which needs ven tilation and a certain amount of au thorized inspection. A California paper says : Another evidence of the disposition of the Kearney strijie of San Francisco sand lotters was rereutly given by a man named Brewster, one of the pillars of Kalloch's church. Brewster had ob tained pofcseahion of a house on the j strength of an agreement to pur chase, but failed to pay cither purchase-money, interest or rent, and a writ of possession was sued out and placed in the hands of the Sheriff. When Brewster found he had to leave he proceeded to a wholesale destruc tion of the premises, daubing the walls and woodwork with black paint, spiking the doors to the frames, gird ling the trees and shrubbery in the yard, smearing the frescoing with a mixture of whitewash and allies, and so defacing the whole building that it will require an outlay of several hundred dollars to restore it This is from an Oiuo paper, and is too good to pass "without re-publication. It is an extract from a letter written by Mrs. Garfield ten years ago to her husband, now President Garfield. Ihe letter was handed to tne editor by Air. mndaie, who is president of a literary institution in Ohio. Airs. Garfield says: "I am glad to tell that, out of all the toil and disappointments of the summer just ended, I have risen up to a vic tory; that the silence of thought since you have been away has won for my spirit a triumph. I read some thing like this the other day: 'There ia no healthy thought without lr.bor, and thought makes the laborer hap py.' Perhaps this ia the way I have bee? able to climb up higher. It came to .me oue corning when I was mak ing bread. I saiI o myself: 'Here I am, comix-lied by an iue' 'able ne- cessitv to make our bread tllis sum mer. Why not consider it a pleasant J occupation sua m&Ke it so uy trying to see what perfect bread I can make ?' It seemed like an inspiration and the whole of life grew brighter. The very 6unhhine seemed Mowing down through my spirit into the white loaves, and now I believe my table is furnished with better bread than ever before." A cask of ounng by prayer and faith is reported from Damascus, Pa , in Mo dule's 7ime$, under date of tbe 3rd iost., as follows : "A short time ago it was announced from Damascus Pa., that Miss Ltilie Tyler of tbe town first men tioned, was cured by tbe intervention of earnest prayer. Another ease still more remarkable is now reported from Canaan township, Wayne county, not many miles from here. Mis Etta Ludwig bas been a sufferer from a white swellibg on ber bip, pronounced by all tbe physicians who bav examined ber to be incurable. She bas boen treated by some of the most noted medical men iu tbe country, who gave np all hopes of ber recovery, ac! abe has tried all kinds of patent medicines, with no relief whatever from ber painful malady. About a month ago she beard of tbe remarkable cure of Miaa Tyler by prayer, and, believing Ibat ber cure could be effected by the sane means, she procured of Miss Tyler the address of tbe woman in Connecticut who bad officiated in Miss Tyler's case and received an answer appointing the hour and day when Mi Etta's friends should engage in prayer for her restora tion to bealtb. Sunday, April-24, was tbe time appointed, and on that day her frionds gathered around ber bed side and prayers were offered. Within an bonr Miss Ludwig noticed a great charge in her condition, and abe is now to fully recovered as to be able to walk. She bas not, until this time, ia many years walked a step, and ber recovery ia at least wonderfull." A jury in Bsngnr.

It was published some years ago in the Jjouisburg Ckrmicl." The above is an explanatory note to the copy of a deed in Doalap'a book of forms which was looked at by the writer in the office of Esquire Bertolette. It was deemed of suffi cient interest to copy in part, and the following are the peculiar portions of the document It certainly goes back far enough to make the purchaser s&fe. Here is the deed : This Indenture, made the ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand, seven hundred and ninety-three, Whereas, the Creator of the earth, by parole and livery of seizen, did en feoff the parents of mankind, to wit, And and Eve, of all that certain tract of land, called and known in the planetary system as The Earth, to gether with all and singular the ad vantages, woods, waters, water courses, easements, liberties, privi leges, and all others the appurte nances whatsoever thereunto belong ing, or in anywise appertaining, to have and to hold to them the said Adam and Eve, and the heirs of their bodies lawfully to be begotten, in fee-tail general forever, as by the said feoffment recorded by Moses, in the first chapter of the first book of his records, commonly called Genesis, more fully and at large appears on reference being thereunto had ; and, Whereas, the said Adam, and Eve died seized of the premises aforesaid in fee-tail general, leaving Issue, heirs of their bodies, to wit, sons and daughters, who entered into the same premises and became thereof seized! as tenants in common by vu tue oi the donation aforesaid, and multiplied their seed upon the earth ; and, Whereas, in process of time, the heirs of the said Adam and Eve be came very numerous, and finding it to be inconvenient to remain in com mon as aforesaid, bethought them selves, and they did accordingly make such partition ; and, Whereas, by virtue of the said par tition made by the heirs of said Adam and Eve, all that certain tract of land called and known on the general plan cf the said Earth by the name of America, parcel of the said large tract, was allotted and set over unto certain of the heirs aforesaid, to them and to their heirs general in fee sini pie who entered into the same ana became thereof seized as afyref aid in their demense as of fee, aud peopled the same lands in severalty and made partition thereof to and amongst their descendants ; and, Whereas, Afterwards (now deemed in time immemorial), a certain united people called ' The Six Satians cf North America," heirs and descend ants of the said grantees of America, became seized, and for a long time whereof the memory of man rwinelh not to the contrary, have been seized in their Jen.ensa as of fee, of and in a certain trm t of country aud land in the north division of America, called and known at present ou the general plan of the said north division by the name of Pennsylvania ; and, Whereas, the said nuited nations, being so thereof seized, afterwards, to wit, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty eight, by their certain deed of feoff ment, with livery of seiin, did grant, bargain, sell, release, enfeoff, alien, and confirm unto Thomas Penn and Richard Penn, otherwise culled The Proprietaries of Pennsylvania (among other tilings), the country called Buf falo valley, situate on the south side of the west branch of the river Sus quehanna, parcel of said country called Pennsylvania, to hold to them, the said proprietaries, their heirs and assigns forever, in their demense as as of fee, as by the same feoffment more fully appears ; which last-mentioned tract of country was, after wards, with other tracts of country, by the said proprietaries by the ad vice and consent of their great coun cil in general assembly met, erected into a eoanty called Northumberland aforesaid, of which the said Buffalo valley was and is parcel by the name of Buffalo Township aforesaid ; and, Whereas, the said proprietaries, by their letters patent, bearing date tbe eleventh day of August, one thou sand seven hundred and seventy-two, did grant and confirm unto a certain Richard Peters in fee simple a certain parcel of tbe said township, called Fresco tt, situate at the mouth of Spring run, adjoining and below the mouth of Buffalo creek, on the south side of the west branch of the Sus quehanna aforesaid in the township and county aforesaid, by metes and bounds in the said letters set forth, containing three hundred and twenty acres, and allowance, &c From 1772 to 1773 portions of the lard went to Ludwig Derr, who laid out a :town called and known by the name of Louisburg, consisting of 350 lots or parcels of iard" The prop erty passed then into the hands of George Derr, part of it to Peter Bor ger, and some of the latter's proper ty to Carel Eilinkhuysen, of Rotter dam, Holland, from him to his son Matthias Joseph Eilinkhuysen and his wife Clara Helena.
