There was a large meeting of the
Smith family in Philadelphia, last
week, to take steps to secure a large
fortune left in England, by Edward
Smith, who died childless about one
hundred years ago.
The Democracy are hard lip for
campaign thunder to deliver, when
they take to photographing Mr.
Elaine's fine Washington house, and
send the pictures of the building
through the country to prove how
cxtravegant Mr. Blaine was when he
built the house. There is one point
that they here forget when they
talk about the Washington house and
that is that Mr. Blaine need not be
ashamed to take las family in it, w hile
on the other hand Mr. Cleveland will
be shy about taking his family there.
A congress of scientists from all

The North American says; The
Democratic and bolting press is try
ing to make a great deal or capital
out of the fact that the vote cast in
Vermont last Tuesday was compara
tively light, and that the Republican
majority will probably not be over
23,000. If the Democrats can get
any scraps of comfort and consola
tion out of that they are certainly wel
come to it, but it is not good judg
ment for them to be at so much pains
to put on the semblance of satisfac
tion, and to profess to feel themselves
so greatly encouraged by what- has
taken place. Their somewhat hyster
ical hilarity will convey the impress
ion that they must actually be worse
off thin had been generally supposed.
That the Republican vote should
have been light is the most natural
thing in the world. It was hardly
to be expected that in Mr. Edmunds'
own State the enthusiasm for the

beaten at Chicago would be red hot,
and besides no special effort was
made to rally the Republican voters.

A Natural Soap Mine.
On Smith's Creek, in Elko county,
Nev., there is a moat remarkabla stra
tum of steatite resting horizontally in
steep bluff of volcanio matter which
flanks the eastern side ot omita i
Creek Valley. The stratum of steatite
is from three to ten feet iu diameter.
It is easily worked and is a veritable
soap mine. Iu fact, the farmers, cat
tle men and sheep herders in that re
gion all use the natural artiole for
washing purposes. Cbemioallj consid
ered, this peculiar clay is a hvdrated
silicate of alumina, magnesia, potash
and lime. When tbe steatite is first
dug from the stratum it looks precise

to the Castile soap sold in large bars.

A true bill. Commonwealth vs. same, In
dictment, murder and voluntary manslaugh-
er. Same prosee'r. Sept. 1, 1881. True bill
On Saturday evening, June 7, 1884,
Samuel Kepner, of Port Royal, and William
Longacre, recently moved to thia place,
pissed each other in the vicinity of tbe
railroad hotel in Patterson, and exchanged
jeering words in regard to Port Royal and
and Mifiiintown. From the acts ofthe young
men it seems tbat each thought that he was
to champion tbe dignity and good name of
the place in which he lived. One word
brought on an other, and drew the men
closer, till they engaged in a rough and
tumble tight, in which Kepner came out
the victor. What ugly feeling the fight
stirred in the minds and hearts of the men
to ward each otber, will never bo known,
but that they were not satisfied, js evident
from the fact that on the evening of the
27th day of June 1884, while Kepner was
walking on the pavement on Bridge street,
along the Jacobs Ilouse, Longacre encoun
tered him and a second fierce fight tons,
place. In this fight the billy was used. It
was said in evidence that Kepner several
times during the fight exclaimed against the
strokes ol I.ongacre's billy, and after the
fight, a billy was found on tho scene of the
conflict, and Kepner claimed it as his prop
erty. Kepner was severely bandied, Long
acre pounded bim with his fist and kicked
him in the abdomen, till he cried out,
"enough Billy" ! and that ended tbe bat
tle. Kepner was taken to a pump and the
blood was washed from his face and head.
and people that were about hiui did not
think that he was seriously hurt- lie how
ever soon grew sick and later in the night
when he reached bis lather's house he was
seriously ill. A doctor was called and by
Saturday morning he wassopiostrated tbat
Justice, J. P. Shindel was requested to
take an information against Longacre and
others on a charge ot assault and battery.
All the parties charged were arrested and
placed in jail bv June 29, 1884. On July
1st, 1884, all of the parties arrested were
brought before Justice Parker in this place,
and all released excepting Longacre, who
was re-committed to jail to await the re
sult of the injuries of Kepner. The Com
monwealth bad by this time taken charge
of the case. On Wednesday, July 2, 1884
Kepner died. After death an examination
of his body was made by doctors Graham
and Shelly, and great injury to tbe stomach
and bowels was revealed. The death of
Kepner caused a change in the charge and
Longacre was held nnder the charge of
"murder and manslaughter." On July 12
an effort to obtain Longacre's release on
bail failed. The commonwealth asked
f 5,000 bail. The judge fixed the bail at
$2,000 but the prisoner could not obtain
that amount. He remained in jail till last
Wednesday, September 2, 1881, at noon,
when be was put upon trial. Tbe trial last
ed till about half-past 9 o'clock, September
4, 1884, when the jury retired to their room
to work out a verdict. Between the hours

tember 5, 1884, the Court Ilouse bell was
rung, as per order of the Court, sbould the
jury agree, and the verdict was received
and announced by Judge Barnett. The
verdict was "Guilty of Manslaughter." Oo
Friday evening at 12 minutes before 8 o'
clock P. M. tbe prisoner was taken before
Judge Barnett, for sentence. Mr. Lyon
and Mr. Atkinson each addressed the conrt
in behalf of a lenient sentence for Longacre.
Tbe judge sentenced bim to pay a line of
one dollar, tbe costs of prosecution and to
undergo an imprisonment at solitary labor
in the western penitentiary for the period
of three years. Tbat night the Sherit) alert

a new growth of hair with Parkers 11 air

applied again, and they took me in a

Cattle on the Ilfgnwayg.
We rerer this subject for the reason that
last season there was still to be encounter
ed, here and there, cattle walking at Urge
on tbe public road, contrary to law and the
public good. The newspapers should, year
after year, make known the law, that no one
may be ignorant of it, and that tbey are li
able to a penalty to thus make pasture-plots
of tbe highways. Our supreme conrt of
this state has decided that owners caunot
recover damages for cattle killed on rail
roads ; indeed, the opinion was implied that
the owners ought to be held responsible for
the damages sustained by a railroad compa
ny, by reason of tbe tresspassing of such
cattle on their property, and by the passen
ger, etc., carried upon them. The right
of farmers, moreover, extend further than
tbe mere ownership ofthe grass minerals,
etc., on that portion of tho public road on
which their property fronts. There deeds
claim the fee-simple of the land to the cen
tre of the road, and they continue to own
that land, the public having only the right
of the way over it. Now it has been de
cided by the courts in the state of New
York that the legislators does not posess
the power to make pasture grounds of the
public roads, and thus give away the prop
erty of the actual owners of the land tooth
ers, who hive no clai-n to it whatever, and
whose appropriation of it to their own use
is not only a violation of the rights of the
owners, but a direct obstruction to the gen
eral travel. A person traveling on a high
way and meets au accident from cattle upon
it, whether lying down, as they are in .the
habit of doing, or otherwise, the owner is
liable for all damages incurred.
Whenever this question comes np before
our supreme court as it must sooner or
later there is not the least doubt as to
what its decision will be. Tbe wonder is
that it has not long ago been done, aud tbe
sooner il shall be better for the farmers of
tbe commonwealth, who in various sections
still sutler serious loss from the depreda
tions of road cattle belonging to neighbors
obstructing the highway and breaking in
upon their crops. Ueroiantown icieprapn.

ALABASTSNE
A Superior Substitute
for Kalsomino, etc
Alabastlne is the first and only preparation
made from calcined frypsum rock, for appli
cation to walls with a brush, and i3 fully cov
ered by patents and perfected by many years
of exieriiiK-ut.s. It is lite only permanent
wail finish, and adniiu of applying as many
coats as desired, one over another, to any
hard surface, without damrer of scaling, or
noticeably adding to the thickness of th3
wall, which is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. It
is the only material for the purpose not de
pendenC uKn pine for its adhesiveness.
Allastine is hardened on the wall by aire,
moisture, etc., while all kalsomiues or whit
ening preparations bave inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, wbich are rendered
soft or scaled in a very short time.
In addition to the above advantages.
Alabastine is less expensive, es it requires
but one-ball the number ol pounds to cover
the same amount of surface wilh two coats,
is ready for use by adding water, and easily

" I wish to express icy appreciation ol the
valuable qualities of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
as a cough remedy.
" While with i hurchiil's army, just before
the bnttie of Vkksburg, I coulmud a se
vere ccld, which terminated in a danerotia
cough. 1 foan.l no relief till on our niarcb
we came to a country store, Vhere, on aMng
for some remedy, I was urged to Irj AYE S
CilEURY I'ECTOtlAL.
"I did so, aud was rap'"v enrcd. Since
then I have kept the Pe tocal const.iutly by
sue, for family use, and I have foor.d il to be
an invaluable remedy for throat and lung
disease. J. V. WuiXLcr."
TIioaands of testimonials certify to the
prompt cure of ail broncM.tl and lung
affections, by the use of Avr.E's Cnriinv
TectobaL. Being very palatable, lu yuUL.
