Norris, of whose death on the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Kittan ning Point, we made n note la.»t week, was the oldest son of John C. Norris, of Clinton town ship, this county. He was in the 23d year of his age, was an "estimable young man, and Mr. Norris and his family have the sympathy of the whole community in their breaveinent. Of late years many members of both houses of Congress have used stamps for franking upon which were cut fac-simiies of their signatures. By this device a clerk could frank a thousand documents at very little ex pense either of time or ltibo|\ Now the Post moster-General has decided that no matter can be franked unless it bears a genuine signature. On Wednesday last John Hol linger, living in Lebanon county, was making cider using a mill driven by horse-power. He was standing on the power to drive the horse, and got off to drive away a cow, and on getting on again he slipped, onp of his feet was caught in the cogs, drawn in and terribly mashed and mangled, stopping the machine. S'he leg wns amputated next day, but he died. A fire broke out in Greenville Tuesday morning, of last week, and at onetime threatened the destruction of the town. Steam ers were sent from Sharon and Meadville. These aiding the home tire department soon had the flames under control. A woolen mill, Mather's flour mill, the Packard House and stables, with three dwelling houses make up the extent of the loss. The damages will reach nearly one hundred thousand dollars. Some of the cigorettes which are smoked to so large an extent are said to be dan gerous articles. One of them, being analyzed, was found to l>e strongly impregnated with opium, while the so-called rice-paper in whi h it was wrapped was ordinary paper whitened with arsenic. These poisons" create in the smo ker the habit of using opium without being aware of it, and its cravings can only be satis fied by an incessant use of cigarettes. —Mr. Ben]". McCollough, a brother in-law of Recorder Gallagher, met with a seri ous accident a few days ago. He was running a saw mill at the time and the belt or strap connecting the engine with the saw, broke and one end struck Mr. McOolloutjh in the face with such force as to break his jaw bone in two places. He was picked up insensible, but at last accounts had recovered consciousness and was doing as well as could be expected. The greatest hail-storm ever known recently prevailed at Stevens Point., Wisconsin. Hail-stones from six to ten inches large fell, and covered the ground from four to eight inches deep, killing thousands of sheep and other animals, and turkeys, geese, and prairie chickens. Three of the hail-stones were found to weigh one pound. Several farms had all the wheat, corn and hay destroyed. The loss will not fall short of £75,000. —The Public Health Hepartment of Germany sanctions the use of certain non-poi sonous substances for coloring confectionery; Flour and starch for white; cochineal, oarmine madder red, and the juice of carrots and cher ries for red ; saffron, safHower, and turmeric for yellow; indigo and litmus for blue; the juice" of spinach and mixtures of the ready* mentioned hlues and vellows for green ; burn ed sugar and Spanish juice for brown ; and In dian ink for black. —The official figures show that dur ing the year ending June 30, 1880, no fewer than 4.57,243 immigrants arrived in the United States. The previous year the arrivals had num bered only 177,826, thus manifesting an aston ishing increase. When 1880 is ended, its record of immigration will very likely be greater than that of any other year in the history of the couutry. —Vigorous efforts are still being made to recover the bodies of the twenty labor ers lost in the Hudson River Tunnel. All the measures hitherto used to reach them have failed, and now a caission is being sunk for that purpose, which it is confidently hoped will be successful. It is to the credit of the compliny that they still pay the regular weekly wages of those who have died to their bereaved families, and it is said they will continue to do this during the completion of the tunnel. —The Democratic Congressional Conference of this district met at the Lowry House in this place last Friday evening. Mr. Mitchell was tne nominee of this county, Mr. Stranahan that of Mercer county and Mr. Cald well of Crawford county. For five ballots each nominee had 3 votes, but on the 6th Rutler county threw two votes to Crawford and one to M etce r, making the vote for Caldwell 5 and for Stranahan 4. Caldwell's nomination was then made unanimous and the convention ad journed. —The Benders are now believed to have been lynched at the time of the dis covery of their last murder in 1873. One who witnessed the lynching says that the notorious Bender family, "four in number, were captured soon after the discovery of the murder of Col. York's brother. He says the four were stood up in a row, facing nine riflemen, and were told their fate, that Kate was pluck to the last, and called upon her captors to "shoot and be d—d," and that the four bodies were buried at thu corner of" the counties of JLabette, Wilson, Neosho and Montgomery. —The wealth, debt and taxation di vision of the tenth census have begun an inves tigation to ascertain the ownership of the regis tered bonds of the I'nited States, which aggre gate nearly $1,175,000,000.

The expenses of the Con clave Committee for decorations, imjsip, print ing, prizes and pitching the camp are set down as $C5,000; the expenses of transporting and boarding the Knights and their families must have been a great deal more. Several hundred thousand dollars were doubtless spent, in one way or another. The ancient Knights, with their vows of poverty, might not have been able on short notice to' i-iiit such a sum \yithout plundering the mfidels.

Heretofore the transfer of her staples across the Pacific, or to European ports, has been monopolized by foreigners ; but notice is now given that hence forth the merchants of the Flowery Kingdom intend to claim their share of this carrying trade.

The flourishing condition of the I'roves indicates that picking will begin in the latter part of September, or about thirty days cafli-r tliftn lust year's ripen ing. The successful cultivation of the orange tree in Florida is a matter of great interest. In 1874 the growth was not enough for home con sumption. Since that time the crop has in creased as follows, the figures representing half-barrel cases: 1874, 2, .100; 1875, 10,000; 1870,15,000; 1877, 31,000; 1878, 75,1X10 ; 1*79, 200,000.

These preparations eon>:st in importations of gold from Europe an 1 i:i the sending of money from New York to the West to be employed in the purchase of grain. Our two leading ex port crops, wheat and -otton, are heavier than they have ever been hofore, and although the foreigh demand for breadstuff* will not be so large as it was in 187f> it will stijl be sqfljqienj to make an market. (Hyi.ij'io injarie* by is}tu rains in several counties the English wheat crop does not fulfill the expectation of the early summer months, and even in the best years England imports a large port of its sup plies of food. Stocks of grain have run low during the year of scarcity, and the necessity of replenishing them causes business to set in somewhat earlier than usual. The wheat har vest is moderate in France, and in many dis tricts of Germany there has heelt a hea\ y de struction of crops by flood*. Ilussia will fur nish less than her usual ijuota for exporution, and the United States will have to make up the greater part of the deficiency.

The prices of mess pork, the supply of which is necessarily limited, have been steadily advancing there of late, not a little to the satisfaction of the far mers in the tributary territory, but much to the disgust of a nninberof dealers who had sold thp coniiapditv The policy pf un operator of this sort is to sell a product of which he has none on hand, to be delivered at a specified date at a fixed price, the transaction being based on the expectation that in the meanwhile he will be able to buy the goods at a lower price than that at which"he has agreed to deliver them. It will, therefore be readily seen that in the pro duce market the interests of the mail who sells short, pr of the "hparj 1 are always inimical to those of the producer, inasmuch as the former's success depends on depression of prices, and that of the latter on their appreciation The farmer's sympathy is, therefore, pretty certain to be on the side of the "bull" in ul 1 transac tions of this sort. —We have now in stoek a full line of Fall and Winter styles of Carpets, which we are selling at less than they can be bought elsewhere.
