B. F. SCHWEIER,
toiTOB An raorairros,.
It is a source of regret to announce
that President Garfield suffered a
light relapse on Saturday night
when the wound was dressed. His
stomach again refused to retain food.
However, by Sabbath day bis stom
ach was sufficiently settled to retain
liquid food. The swelling in the
neck has been considerably reduced ;
it still discharges small quantities of
pus. The drainage tube was insert
ed in the wound, but failed to pene
trate deeper than eleven inches. The
President was taken from the White
House, at 6:20 A. 1L, on Tuesday,
and arrived at Long Branch safely
and was there domiciled in a cottage
about noon. It is hoped that the
change of habitation may so affect
his system that a state of conva
lescence will speedily follow.
At 1O.30 on Tuesday evening he
passed into a 6leep with pulse at 124.
On this Wednesday morning his pulse
is lower, and those in attendance are
looking forward for a decided change
for the better within 48 hours.
Should it be the will of Provi
dence that the life of President Gar
field be not spared, Vice President
Arthur will by virtue of the Consti
tution and laws, become President of
the United States. Ha is a Repub
lican and will carry otit the national
tjoHcv of the rarty as fully as it fres
dent Garfield were in the chair. His
succession to the Presidency will give
the country an eastern ruler of New
England extraction, a something that
baa not taken place 6ince the Repub-
liinn nartv came into power. If
Vice President Arthur comes to the
office of the Presidency it will not be
bv any act of his own, but by Provi
dentitl direction for the good or bad
of the Republic. It may be of con
siderable significance, or it may be of
no significance whatever, that he
comes from the "Teat financial center
of the continent History in this
ca.se if the change takes place
does not repeat itself, for generally
the men that come into power by
kaa?e unlocked for, are men that
live somewhat removed from the cen
ters of wealth and population. As
to Arthur s Cabinet, possibly he
will retain the men that President
Garfield chose; possibly not Be
that as it may. There are hundreds
of good, honest and able Republi
cans in the country, competent to
discharge the duties of Cabinet cm
cers. Should President Garfield be
called awav, the people will remem
ber his language, delivered when Lin
coln was assassinated, that " God
reions. and the Government at Wash-
ineton still lives." j

in public praver and supplication to
Almighty for the restoration of
health and strength of the President
of the United States, and to invoke
the Divine aid and blessing npon the
nation and State." The people of
the whole State will be in accord with
the Governor in the propriety of call
ing the inhabitants to assemble for
such a purpose, but the great mis
fortune in the call is that it is upon
such short notice that a very large
majority of the people of the Com
monwealth will never hear of it until
the day appointed for prayer has long
passed. The Governor has been
raised in a community that is reached
by telegraph and railroad lines, where
every dav's eeneral important trans
actions are heard from all parts of
the world, but the majority of peo
ple have not 6uch news facilities.
Hence they can never hear of the
Governor's proclamation till days
after the day appointed for prayer
has passed.

recollection of a published statement '
of his arrest The publicity given to
the public by the newspapers of his
marriage and forgery on the bank,
gave a number of victimized women
thronglwut the country an opportu

Richmond jailor. The list of the
women that he has married and left
has gradually increased. The num
ber of women that now claim him as
husband is sixteen. The Richmond
people are wondering how many more
claimants are yet to be added.
It is getting to be a question as to

New York city, the next day he is in

tions engaged in mining coal, ore or
other minerals, or manufacturing
iron, steel or any other product, shall

money, with interest, made payable
to employe or bearer, and redeema

who shall issue for payment of labor
any other paper or order shall be

by a hne not exceeding $1UU, wnicn

of the district in which the crime
shall have been committed. Another
clause in the act provides for a sale
of 6tore goods at a reasonable profit
equal to that of merchants engaged
in the same class of trade, xne pen
alty for every violation of the law is
a fine of $100.
The above law was passed on the

he bought a revolver and went with
it to the house of his mother-in-law,
and, obtaining an interview with his
wife, he attempted to shoot her, but
fortunately the pistol did not go on.

Dispatches on the first of

month relative to the drought were
of m discouraging kind. For exam
ple, from New Jersey the information
was : The continued drought in this
State is working damage to the crops,
and fanners are despondent as to the
outlook. The Delaware river and all
other streams are Cnprecedently low.
The pastures are parched and nearly
destroyed, and the corn crop in many
quarters will be an entire failure.
With the exception of a few showers
in isolated localities there has not
been any rain for over two months.
In fact, everything is drying np and t
farmers will be much embarrassed in j
consequence. Cisterns, wells and
springs are nearly dry, and in some

two of whom survive her.
A prettv woman was dangerously
ill at Rising Sun, Ind., and the phy

would desert her husband and elope
with him. The bargain has been car

It is a foolish mistake to confound
