MR. OLIVER DAUUMPLI, the great
Minnesota farmer, intends to cultivate
30,000 acres of wheat this year. He
will have 20 steam threshers in opera
tion. with 135 reaping machines. Last
year he employed 500 laborers, and
this year will increase the number to
700.
IT appears that Mr. Tilden is not to

he had a corner in parlors was prema

hostelries in view of the convention.
PINAFORE, Valencia and Buttercup,
are the pleasing names of three new

Mr. Nelson Stevenson as postmaster.
THE boys are marching iu Central

but they are a long way apart as yet
and they are a good many obstacles in

ED. MARTIH Esq., in bis speech be
fore the Lancaster county committee,
last wrek, struck pretty near the bulls
eye, when he said, speaking of the
Cameron crowd: "They have money
for the purchable, promises for the
fools and threats for the cowards. Af
ter securing Philadelphia and Alle
gheny, they can always buy up enough
others to capture the caucus, and then
their fight is won."
THERE is excitement in Cincinnati
over the narrow escape of a medical
man from assassination. He was en
tering the dark hall of hia boarding
house the other night when a fellow
boarder discharged a deadly weapon at
him. The doctor fled in terror to the
nearest magistrate and swore out a war
rant. The constable proceeded imme
diately to the boarding house, arrested
the murderous villain, and secured the
weapon, which had burst in the dis
charge. It was a paper bag.
THERE is no use in drugging your
self to death, and buying all the vile
medicines for internal use when you
can be cured of fever and ague, dumb
ague, billious disorders, jaundice, dys
pepsia, as well as all disorders and ail
ments of the liver, blood and stomach,
by wearing one of Prof. Goilmette's
French Liver Pad, which is a sure
cure every time. If your druggist
does not keep the pad, send $1 50 in a
letter to French Pad Co., Toledo, 0.,
and it will be sent you by mail. It
is the only pay that is guaranteed to
cure. Beware of counterfeits.
AN exchange suggests that the sev
eral hundreds of young men who will
graduate from the medical colleges
this spring should take a course in
Hygiene, as while the great art of
curing disease in an old one. the still
greater art of preventing it is yet in
its infancy. But as preventing dis
ease is hardly in a doctor's line of
business, in the present order of things,
we do not think the medical students
will take the proffered advice, though
it would pay a community, and pay it
well, to hire the right kind of a man
to look after its general health, exam
ine the water, milk and liquor they
drink, food they eat, houses they live
in, and a thousand other things.

THE town of Lincoln, Lancaster
county, this State, has narrowly es
caped a very great catastrophe.
While five hundred of its inhabitants
were enjoying an entertainment in its
public hall lately, a portion of the floor
suddenly gave way, precipitating two
hundred persons a distance of between
fifteen aud twenty feet. To add to the
danger and the horror of the situation
the building took fire; bnt, through
what, for want of a better name, is
called a miracle, no one seems to have
been killed, and not more than thirty
Seriously injured. As in nearly every
calamitous recurrence of this kind it it
d when too late that the
building was badly constructed, and
by no means calculated to support the
weight of so many people.

A QOOJ many railway accidents are
now known to lie the result of color
blindness or inability of engineers and
firemen to distinguish the colors of the
signal lights, and the companies pro
pose to examine all employes as to
their eyesight. Such a course will
undoubted!*" save much loss of life and
property. If the companies would ex
amine all the employes who complain
of weak backs, weak kidneys and poor
blood and present each one with Prof.
Guilmette's French Kidney Pad, their
trains would be run better, and their
men be able to perform more work
with less fatigue.

THE fact that Williamson, the person
who has been tormenting the Reverend
Doctor Dix, of New York, was en
gaged in the blackmailing industry in
London, and that he was once upon a
time, tried, convicted, and sent for a
year to Newgate for that crime, would
rather go to show that it was in the
exercise of his profession that he de
voted his attentions to Dr. Dix. At
all events there is probably enough
evideuce in that direction to make a
case against him, aud he is likely to
see the inside of an American prison as
well as of an English. An unfortunate
feature of the matter is that his enter
prises will probably find imitators who,
in a spirit of mischief, will inflict no
little anntfyance upon helpless victims.
Mr. Williamson has demonstrated that
in the hands of the truly great the
postal card is mightier than most
people suppose it was.

EX-SPE4&EH Galusha A. Grow's
friends in various parts of the State
are pressing his claims for the L nite*i
States Senatorship with commendable
zeal. There is perhaps no man in
Pennsylvania bciter qualified, iri point
of ability and experience, to fill the
high office of Senator with honor to the
Commonwealth, than Mr. Grow. He
is one of a very small class of Peiiti
.■•ylvaniaus who may be said to have
attained a national reputation as states
men. His distinguished services in
the National legislative halls, the prom
inence he gained by intimate connec
tion with great National legislative
measures, the distinguished abilities
demonstrated by him on the floor, as
well as in the Speaker's chair of the
Hbuse of Representatives, made the
name of Galusha A. Grow familiar
aud honored throughout the length
aud breadth of the Republic.—Arm

IF the New York newspapers are to
lie trusted—there seems to lie need of
the "if" whenever they announce a
startling bit of news concerning the
"wizard of Menlo Park"—Edison has
done something practical, and got the
money for it. Whilst experimenting
with the electric light, the telephone,
and a few other matters ot that kind,
he chanced upon the principle of the
electro-monograph, an invention for
electricallyproducing mechanical move
ments at a distance. There had been
but one method for accomplishing this
in existence, that known as the Page
patent, which is in the possession of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany- Edison's plan is said to be
wholly different. The Western Union
negotiated for its purchase, but
tLought his terms, SIOO,OOO, too high.
Hearing that the American Union
was also after the invention, the Wes
tern Union suddenly closed with Edi
son, who is now SIOO,uOO better off
than he was.
WILLIAM ALAND, Merchant Tailor,
has just opened the largest line of woolens for

QUESTIONS of tariffs and customs
duties probably seem very dry and
tedious to the general reader, but the
general reader is the very one who is
most interested in cheap literature, arid
it is his interest, therefore, that all ma
terials for the manufacture of paper
should be free. He is especially con
cerned in the present deba'e upon
wood pulp, aud the repeal of the duty
upon it. Such a repeal would give
the paper maker a cheap material, and
the cheapness would be favorably felt
in the purse of the general reader,
while it certainly would not harm the
paper maker or the publisher. The
duty at present maintains a monopoly
which, by increasing the price of paper,
necessarily raises the price of school
and other books and newspapers, while
the duty practically produces no reve
nue at all. The largest amount ever
realized from it was in 1870, when it
produced $253. From 1871 to 1879
it produced nothing, and iu 1879 the
revenue duty from would pulp amounted
to forty-eight cents.

THE wool industry is a great na
tional interest. In sheep husbandry
and the production of woolen fabrics
American agriculture and manufactures
are intimately blended and their wel
fare becomes identical. The encour
agement of this joint industry is a
matter of especial importance to the
farmers of this section where the pro
duction of wool Las attained immense
proportions. The passage in the House |
at Washington of the bill prepared by
Mr. Shallenberger on liehalf of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural So
ciety, relating to the proposed Inter
national Sheep and Wool Show, will .
occasion very general gratification. •
The bill admits free of duty all articles
designed for exhibition, and directs a
full official report under the supervision
of the Commissioner of the Agricul-.
ture. The show is to be held in Sep-!
tember of this year, in the Centenuial'
Building, in Fairmouut Park, Phila
delphia. Assurances have been received '
of a hearty co-operation of foreign and '
domestic exhibitors.
A SOLID Silver Case and a Genuine
American Movement an low as $lO, at
E. URIKB'S.
THE fierce and disorderly struggle
in the House of Representatives at
Washington last week, was of far more
importance than the hasty reader of
the confused and scarcely comprehend
sible report of the proceedings probably
deemed it. It was in reality a des
perate tight for position on the Tariff
question. The Free Traders had sur
prised the Tariff forces aud carried a
point which, if they were able to bold
it would enable them to choose their
own time for bringing on a general en«
gagement It had been the openly
avowed policy of the Free Traders to
attack the Tariff in detail, carrying
yyuifc by yuuxw *u4 aeuutiu# iKmi-
®|p»" gutter £&*»*«: SSttiLeß, 3KwrsJf 31, 188&
tion gained before making further pro
gress. The composition of the Ways
i aud Means Committee, to which nil
i Tariff measures would go under the
rules, rendered hopeless any attempt
: to change the whole body of the rev
enue laws by a sweeping measure.
Knowing this, the frieni.B of protec
tion to American industry had no fear
j of a general attack, and were concen
trating their attention on the special
measures now before the Ways and
Means Committee. Townshend. of
Illinois, profited by this sense of se
curity on the part of the Pioteetiooists,
and by a cunning trick managed to slip
through the House unobserved, and
into the Committee on the Revision of
the Laws, of which he is a member, a
bill revolutionizing the entire revenue
system in the interests of Free Trade.
The fight was over the question
whether the record of the transaction
should l>e corrected, and the bill sent
to the Committee on Ways and Means
where it properly belonged, or whether
it should remain where it was, with
the probable result of involving Con
gress and the country in a general
Tariff struggle.

MORE than 150,000 tons of material
has already been shipped from New
York and Baltimore to the interna
tional fish fair at Berlin. It opens on
the 20th of April, aud will continue
until midsummer. In the variety
and extent of its contributions this
show will far surpass the Norway fish
exhibition of 1805, and the two that
have since been held in France. f l he
modern tendency of world's fairs is to
make them exhaustive specialties ; and
while spectacular effect and popular
interest may i»e lessened by this
method, unquestionably scientific im
portance aud instructional value are
enhanced. The Berlin show sweeps
the whole field of fishery science ami
art. It includes specimens of all
fishes, edible or inedible, useful or
noxious, alive, dried, pickled, potted
or bottled in spirits. It will cover not
only the vast variety of shell fishes
aud jelly fishes, but all aquatic an
imals, such as the beaver and otter,
and all birds, such as gulls, that live
on fish. It will include casts, photo
graphs, pictures, drawings, and des
criptions of fishes, and the history and
literature of the waters of the earth,
with all their contents, organic or
inorganic. This, however, is but one
branch of the Berlin fish show. It in
cludes also all the appliances and
methods of fishing—the immeasurable
variety of ships, boats, hooks, lines,
sinkers, seines, trawls, rods, tackle,
and these, too, in their various stages
of improvement from the earliest to •
the latest age Allied to this will he!
a great collection of maps, charts, and ]
models of fishing grounds, deep-sea i
sounding machinery, aud the statistics !
of fisheries. Then comes the exten-j
sive field of artificial hatching, with
its varieties of apparatue and sped- i
mens, enough almost to furnish an en
tire exhibition. To these must be
added the great industry ol packing,
canning, and curing fish for food, and ]
the analogous industry of turning fish j
into oils, guano, gelatine or glue.

the "ghosts of what they once were." As we
meet them, anil inquire the cause of all this
change, they repeat the old, old story, "a cold,"
"neglected outwit," "catarrh," "overwork," or
"dyspepsia," "liver complaint," and 'constipa
tion, with unsuccessful physicians and reme
dies. In offering hi» Golden Medical Discovery
aod Pleasant Purgative Pellets tor the cure of
the above affections, Dr. Pierce does not re
c.xumeiid them as a "sure cure" t# all nUigr*
For if the lungs be half wasted away, or there
be a cancerous complication, no physician or
medicine can cure. The Discovery is, how
ever, an equaled pectoral aud blood-purifier.
It speedily cures the most aggravated cough,
or cold, aud in its early or middle stages, con
sumption. By correcting all irregularities of
the stomach and liver, it readily cures blotches,
pimples, scrofulous ulcers, "bunches," or tu
mors. Hundreds testify that it has restored
their health, after eminent physicians had
failed. For constipation, use tne Pellets. As

Law Against Gambling.
In the light of recent events the law
' of Pennsylvania, relative to gambling
; and gambling houses, may be of iutcr
i est. Here it is:
I "If any person shall set up or estab
lish in any house, room or outhouse,
tent, booth, arbor or other place what
; soever, any game or device of address
j or hazard with cards, dice, billiard.*,
balls, shuffle-board, or any other in
strument, article or thing whatsoever,
' heretofore or which may hereafter be
invented, used ami employed, at which
money or any other valuable thing
may or shall be played for or staked or
betten upon, or if any person shall pro
cure, permit, suffer and allow persons
to collect and assemble in his house,
etc., shall lie sentenced to pay a fine
not exceeding SSOO, and undergo un
imprisonment not exceeding out;
year."
Answer This.
Did you ever know any person to
be ill, without inaction of the Stomach,
Liver or Kidneys, or did you ever
know one who was well when either
! was obstructed or inactive; and did
you ever know or hear of any case of
, the kind that Hop Bitters would not
cure. Ask your neighbor this same

It is laughable to listen to the com
ments on the merits of the lecture de
liverer! by the above named gentleman
in the Court House last Friday night.
Some say they were disappointed, as
it was not so funny as they expected :
others that it was the best they ever
beard, full of excellent points and hits,
that the difference between intellectual
and sensual wit was shown up beauti
fully. Others again think he was too
hard on ministers, and others that he
1 cut up the lawyers rather roughly. A
gteat many sympathized with the
doctors, the narrow-gauge road. &c.,
but we might fili this paper with the
j different opinions of the different au
i ditors, instead of which we "lose by
■ saving that people differ on almost ail

New Ponsion Office.
In the new pension offices, Pitts
i burgh, pensioners have but to enter a
I doorway level with the sidewalk, and
there is a comfortable seat at their dis
posal until such time as they can be
attended to. The location is good, and
the system of doing business, together
with the increased facilities afforded, is
a marked itnpr )vcment on the past and
is appreciated by staff and pensioners
alike. The offices are divided into three
compartments, the first, where the re
cipients of Uncle Sam's bounty congre
f gate, the second, where the clerical
work is done and payments made, and
the third, which is the sanctum of the
agent and the repository (in a lire
proof.safe) of the books and papers.
The middle office is veiled from the
public gaze by frame work around the
entire length of the counter, little
windows being opened here and there
for the transaction of business. These
places are lettered "Invalids," "Wid
ows," "Guardians'* and "General Bus
iness" respectively, so that each pen
sioner kn >ws at once which window to
go to. Nearly half a million is paid
out from the Pension Office every
quarter to about 12.000 pensioners. Of
these, 1,500 to 2,000 are paid person
ally and the remainder by mail. Yes
terday 3*55 were paid from three dol-,
lars to $72. the total being $5,000, and j
up to 11 o'clock this morning $2,000
more was paid out. Payments by mail i
will commence to-morrow, and the j
whole business will be concluded in
twelve days. By the new system 2)0
more persons can be paid daily than ,
ever before, and in order to insure the
right party getting the money when
sent by mail, pensioners have lieen re
quired to iro before a justice, who gets
a certificate.from Court, and this cer
tificate is filed in the office.— Pitts.

Editor* Citizen —The great murder
j trial i- over, and as I had eight days
| and nigh.ts with the twelve gentlemen
of the jury. I could tell enough an
eeilotvs to fill your ohimn- if time and
space would permit; but it is enough
jto s;iy that ttie jury was a lirst-cla—
! body of gentlemen every man. Now
ito the subject. In answer to the many
i inquiries why I wa- taken in the short
|or bv surprise, I must -ay that l was
| a little surprised, for these reasons;
j that although I heard many ru
i mors about the matter, yet I had con
-1 tidence. for Judge MeJunkin -aid when
' 1 was appointed that the term was
usually two years; secondly. Judge
Story said to me that there would be
a change, but that he thought I would
not be removed; third. Judge Dodds
told me at two different times that he
would not interfere with it at all ; but
I have reason to believe that through
the earnest pleading of his counsel, he
did interfere, and, with the above
Judges, con.-iilted and helped to make
the change. And, what is still more,
I am credibly informed that the change
was set in type in the Eagle office. In■-
fore it was announced in the Court
room. And here I might say that I
have labored with timeand words fur all
four judges in times past, which can
not be .-aid by at lea-t some of the new
appointees. It ha- been -aid that
Judge Bredin had no hand in making
the change; of that. I do not know.
Now then I know nc rea-on and got
no notice of anv ; if I have not done
mv duty or have been guilty of di—
respect to my superiors, and if I have.
I have done it uubeknowenly. and a-k

Lardin Mill School.
Editor s Citizen —Stein/ communi
cations from nil parts of the county
about our common schools, thought it
would not IK- right to forget Clinton.
Our schools are drawing near a close,
but think the people of Clinton will all
say that they have all been well taught
during the past winter, and heartily
commend the directors in making such
a selection of teachers.
I will give you a brief history of an
entertainment given in the Lardin Mill
school. Monday evening. March 15.
The evening was rather unpleasant,
but the house was filled with eager
spectators, and at about 8 o'clock was
called to order, when the scholars
spelled until recess, and after that they
entertained us with -ome literary per
formances. The programme was as
follows:
Dialogue by Marv Xorris and Levia
Trimble, subject "How not to get an
Answer."
Rehearsal by Sadie Montgomery,
subject "Claribel."
Select reading by Georgia Criswell,
subject "The Setter Family."
Rehearsal by Mary Xorris, subject
"Elegy on Madam Blaize."
Son/ by Callie Love. Sadie Mont
gomery and J. A. Sifton, entitled "The
Old Musician and his Harp."
' Dialogue by Harry and Charley
Lacey.
Song by Minnie Gibson, entitled
'.'Waiting by the River."
Dialogue by Lizzie Seitz, Callie Love,
Lizzie Xorris and Sadie Montgomery,
entitled ' The Tea Party."
Song by Jonas Mock, entitled "The
Little Old Log Hut."
The pieces were all well selected and
well performed, showing they have i
been well taught during the winter, j
The school has been under the care of
Mr. W. C. Riddle, a promising young
man of our own vicinity, and formerly
a student of the Edinboro school.
Hoping it may send out many more
such teachers. 1 will stop, for fear I
may weary your readers. BLANCO.

1 In every school consisting of pupils
different ages ami circumstances, there
will be more or less interruption to the
general order and employment of the
school:
1 Ist. By pupils who have missed one,
two, three or more days. The teacher
is 'unoved showing them the regular
lessons for the day, and, if he has
made any change in rules or system,
those pupils who have been absent
will break i he rules and system, causing
, an interruption of school work,

j been trained to system at home; per
: haps most of them may have bceu
positively taught to disregard it at
school. At any rate "it mu6t needs

from various causes, such as soliciting j

At the International Dairy Fair,
held in New York, December, 1879. a
committee of the most expert butter
makers made the most careful tests of
all the different Butter Colors. The
result was the unaminous award of
the only prize to Wells. Richardson «k
Co's Perfected Butter Color. Again
this original and perfect color scores a
victory as it always does when there
is honest ami fair competion with any
of ifs competitors. Sold bv Druggists

What Then ?
Senator Don Cameron, confessing
to great annoyance on account of the
repeated publications in reference to
bis views and position on the Presi
dential question, is credited with the
declaration the other day, that "noth
ing but death could prevent Graft's
nomination now." Suppose Grant
should live, and Cameron and Conk
ling in the meantime should die—con
tingencies not wholly impossible—what
then ? These two distinguished Grant
factors out of the way, would not the
! "boom" most surely collapse ? Or. as
the X. Y. Tribune puts it in plainer
phrase : "If the prop* were to be taken
away from the third term movement
to-morrow, it wouldn't be in sight by
the first of June."— Hearer Times.
