THE English are just awakening to the fact that the contemptible Boers are the bravest and most skilllul bush fighters in the world. The sooner England backs squarely down from her present position the better for her uood name and the better for her treasury. H'I.LS are before the Legislature re quiring physicians to write prescrip tions plainly in the English language, and that without abreviations, and re quiring druggists to label all packages of medicine with the name thereof plainly printed or written in the Eng lish language The argument is that such a course w juld prevent the con sumation of the fatalities involved iu the mistakes of druggists, which every reader of the papers know to be uum erons. _ At the late meeting of dry goods men at Corry earned by the disastrous fai'ure of DeForcst Weld, of James town, Meadville, Titusville, Warren ! and Bradford. A series of resolutions were unanimously passed by sections. There was a deep feeling manifested in a resolve to make their influence fell in New York by not buying of those wholesale houses, jobbers and manu facturers who continue selling to peri odical bankrupts, or who compromise with such bankrupt firms. IT will ever be remembered of the Hayes administration that it paid off $508,820,730 ,27 oftbe public debt ar.d reduced the annual interest charges on the remainded no lets than $11,557- 708. Resides, it saw the return to specie payments, whereby the credit of the nation was so greatly strengthen ed that the refunding of the remaining debt has been rendered possible at greatly reduced rates of interest. No previous administration lias been a greater success financially, and if his successor can manage to keep the new administration up to some high finan cial standard of success, the highest withes of the people in this particular will be satisfied. A GOOD point is made by the Phila delphia I'rexH in noting the fact that the newspapers generally speak of Mr. Wayne MeVeagh, without the regula tion prefix of "Hon." So common has the application of Honorable, General, Colonel and Esquire become that all men of self-respect are glad to have them omitted, even if deserved. Pre tenders stek such titles, while those who have justly earned thcrn avoid them. The most complimentary man ner in which a gentleman or statesma; I can be spoken of is as plain "Mr.," as it implies that he needs no display of titles to proclaim his merits or his pre tensions.

EDIT(R CITIZEN 1 notice in the Eagle of the 2nd, some one attempt ing to answer an article published in the CITIZEN of February the Oth, on the Senatorial dead lock, which was lately unlocked by the smash of the ring, which meets with the approba tion of every intelligent Republican of F\ nr. township. c were brought to exclaim when we saw that article, signed S., where did such a man as that come from. Hut without much search we found it in the shape of a Sea Man. For our part we dont set where Mr. S. has placed one single truth before the readers of the Eagle in his r< ply, for we have read it care lully and don't find one single sentence in it where the shadow of truth exists, except the one, where he savs, that the slpublicans of this and every town ship expected our Representatives to vote for the best interest of the party that elected them to their seals. I hi.- is the only clause in his reply that is true. YVt certainly do expect ihem to represent the wi.-h of the people. That is why the majority of the Republi cans of Penn denounce the course of Messrs. Greer and Hell. They have de ceived the people Hut we rejoice to know that we did elect one that did represent and vote for the best interest of tLe Republican party that elected him, and his course at Hairi»l>urg is applauded by all true Republicans in this part oi the county They feel proud that they have elected one man, W. P. Hraham, in whom they can put trust and confidence. \\ e would I«; verrv glad to have the Republicans of Penn township take a vote on the course of our representatives at llar risburg. and by so doing Mr. S. would certain I v find out whether he is a truth ful writer or a falsifier. He would find by such a vote that \\ . P. Brahaui would have, as we s:iid before, two thirds of the Republicans in Penn, sanctioning his course in the Legisla ture. lii another clause iu Mr. S.'s reply, he says that we prayed to aid the dead lock to stay lucked until tlu 1 voice of the people would be heard and until the ring be broken down, and he say* our pray* r w ill not likely lie answered. Hut the prayer ha* ecn anxKriwd, in the overthrow of tlie ring. in which the Republicans of I'enr: do ejoice, and in the election of u United States Senator, who is quali ficd to represent the interest of the people in the United States Senate, who will not represent the interest of the Cameron is ts. But iu further r*- ply to Mr. S., we have only to say, that where little is given little is re quired, and so we cant* xpe:t anything from the Moi/lv writer, lint perhaps the worthy Air. S. is in duty bound to support the ring, owing to the fact of hiui fretting the appointment of census enumerator in this township through the influence of that branch of the ring that exists in this county. In conclu sion we have no hesitancy in saying that the popular feeling that exists among the members of the Republican party in I'enn township highly sus tains and approves of Mr. lira ham's course at Ilarrjsburg on Ihe Senator question, and th.it by more than three to one, the Republicans iu this part ol the county a.-ki d us to write a letter to Mr. lira haul telling him that his course was ju.-t in accordance with the voice of the people, and we could to day get two-thirds of the Republican:! to .-ueh a letter in this township. Hut we will stop for the present, hoping to hear from the Ea<jl again. A Rn'tin iCA.v. >"o th Wcfeh'nttcn Academy. NORTH WASHINGTON, Mar. 11,' HI.

Tcrribl ■ B il r Explosion. Bt FK.YIO, March 11 —A large boiler in the Phoenix Boiler Works, owned by Donaldson it Patterson, exploded this afternoon, instantly killing six men and wounding seven others. Patterson, one of the proprietor?, was amo'iir the killed. The manufacture of boilers is their business, while a specialty is the testing of old ones An old boiler be lt nging to the tugboat Mary E Pierce, in use nearly eighteen years, was being tested, when without any apparent cause it burst, literally levelling the works, one hundred feet long, eighty feet high and forty wide. Patterson was, with a ponderous mass of the ex ploded boiler, hurled across the street, and through a solid board f-nce, to which portions of his entrails und frag ments of his limbs clung, white his leg was recovered fifty yards further awav. The others killed were scatter ed in all directions. The force of the explosion was so great that the windows of buildings nearly half a utile distant were blown out and many people in the houses in the vicinity were thrown to the ground, tables overturned and win dows demolished, and the adjoining buildings shaken to the foundations. A large piece of tho exploded boiler was thrown hundreds of fe't in the air and falling crashed throujih tie roof of Wells eh'vator, five hundred feet away. The dome of the boiler was thrown one hundred feet in tho air and lauded half a mile distant. The known kilh d are : Robert Pat terson, age fjf», married —leaves wife and six children; John Kangenfeld.age 38, unmarried—found under remains of boiler, burned almost beyond recogni tion ; Francis Chadwiek, age (12, engi neer in charge of boiler, side blown away, bled to death, married—wife and three children; William Wager, married blown to pieces, leaves wife and four children; William Gibson, nephew of Patterson, blown through the shop and across the street, married—wife and two children ; unknown man, blacken ed and bruised beyond ri cognition. The wounded are : Carl Otto Voltz, both legs blown off, cut in the back and ehe.-t, cannot recover, George Kcnner, If,, leg broken, head bruised badly; Henry Mackcy, left leg broken, head cut, injured internally, will probably die; \icjf Rupert, right leg broken, in jured Internal.v, will probably die; Robert Mesy:ch, left side, body and face badly cut, was twenty feet from boiler when struck, cannot recover; Michael May, about ten feet from boil er, IT iirt in stomach and hit side of fatte ; William K.

Sen ator Mahone to Dofloo His Position. WASHINGTON, March If.—When tin Senate was called to order at noon to-day the galleries w re well filled in anticipation of a party contest on tho subject of organizing the Standing Co' inii'lees. Senators Mcbill, of lowa, and Cameron, of Wisconsin'successors I" Ki; kwood' resigned, and Carpenter, deceased, being present, look the oath ot office. Mr. Pendleton called up his resolution I for the naming of the Senate coniniit i tees. A debate ensued, during which I Senator Hill' of Georgia, referring to a Senator elected as a Democrat, who it was alleged would vote with the Re publican* provoked a reply from Sena : tor Mahone, of Virginia. The gentle man disclaimed that he was indebted ! to the Democrats for his seat, and strongly intimated his purpose to vote with the Republicans, not only on the question of organization, but on all subj cts. A motion to go into Execu tive session was supported by Repub licans and opposed by D< mocrats, and was rejected by yeas nays 37- After the vote the debate was cominned at great length, the speeches of Mahone and Hill being followed by a desultory sparring between tnem, which dieted applause from the respective sympa thizers of the gentlemen. Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, then moved to go into Executive ses sion. which was defeated by the same vote as before, when a motion to ad journ met the same fate. A proposi tion to postpone action till I hursday was made by the Republicans, which wi. met by the offer that two Demo crats would vyilhhqld their votes to pair the two Republicans whose seats are vacant Pending this proposition a resolution of sympathy with the Government and people of Russia was unanimously adopted, and the Senate adjourned.

Among the bills read the first time wan an act regula ting the storage of petroleum by pipe lines and other storage companies. Won't Learn. Senator Dun Cameron is the worst specimen of Bourbon to be found any where. He won't learn, and he won't forget, lie (.enounces the independents at Harrisburg as obstructionists, but their obstruct veness will bear no com parison with his. He obstructed Presi dent Hayes' appointments up to the last hours of the late Senate ; and the very first move he made on Saturdav. hen the new body went into executive session was to obstruct the confirma tion of most of Gen Garfield's Cabinet officers. He has seemingly forgotten that .Mr. Garfield will tolerate no loll ishness noreaptiousness from any quar ter. When, as Chairmen of the Nation al Committee at Chicago last summer, he stubbornly refused 10 put certain motions, or entertain appeals, it was Garlield who struck the key-note of the situation, and brought order out of chaod, by suggesting that the chairman was byt ibe creature of the committee that as the latter had made him, it could also unmake him ; and that if he did not put its motions, and carry out its wishes, it could very readily find someone who would—and forth with, the lines of the bosses were broken, the unit rule went down, and the scepter of authority passed from the grasp of the would-be-dictator.— Denver Times Ti|ECu ,, \veniivi]le (Clearfield county, Pa.)

Lawrence ccptsiy, is preparing for in troduction into the Legis aturo, two bills which will prove of especial inter est to tho 0.1 Region. As conducted now, if a tank burns the oil owned by the pipe lin" controlling the destroyed oil is aescj'eul T r the lull amount of the contents < (' .he tank, thus making a kind o f mutual insurance which, un der ordinary circumstances, would be a good thing. Y< ry often, however, the managers o( the pipe line "shoot" the burning tank a: I draw oil' half the oil, which is thus saved, but foi'jfc t to make any difference in assessing fur hiss, making ii cover tin? full Contents of the tank. The object of Mr. M ni ton's lirst bill is to require the mana gers of the li.ie t i assess only f<-r the AI'M AT, toss arid to puni.-h violations of such statu!' by tine of s*>,ooo, orim prisonment f,«r s x months to one year, or both. The second bill provides for the ap pointment of a e niuiissioner, who shall li iid verv much the same relation to pipe lines that a bank examiner does to national bank-. It shall be his duty to examine t.h ■ amount of oil in the hands of pipe lines and see that it is sufficient to cover all certificates issued by said line. Should there prove to he more certifir-ates than oil, it shall be deemed mftteieiit cause to declare the pipe line ins iverit and appoint a receiv er. The oltji el of the bill is to prevent gambling fn certificates, which Mr Morrison believes is carried on to a dangerous extent. (I ;»•> ' > ;?el "SieJi.

JAMES .1 CAMIMIKFJi, ««► «*«»•» «" 011100 iu Fairview borough, in Tulegiaph OIU o aolsJ UAI.UWI.S P. 0., JU.IOTOJ-, P*. ' —According to tli*» Times, of Glas* prow, Kentucky, there has been near that place the past month a robins' roost that equals the pigeon roost of olden times. "A cedar thicket of about sixty acres furnishes the birds a place. About sundown every evening constant streams from every direction pour into the prove, and al most obscure the heavens in their flight. Night finds almost every bush i:i the thicket bending with its red hreasted load. For the past few weeks lovers of sport for miles around have visited the place, and every night the thicket is illuminated with the I torches of men with clubs and sacks gathering the feathery harvest. Mr. Smith has killed over 2,000, and hun dreds are carried every night, but th»v don't seem to decrease ; there are millions of them. Large quantities of , them have been sold in town. They are very fat, and make when well cooked, a dish good enough for any body." Seeing that the robin is me of our most efficient destroyers of in insect pests—a young robin requiring daily a bulk of such food equal to its own weight—it is probable that every bird killed at the "r< ost' will cost the county a dollar, perhaps ten times as much. I:i any ease one cf these birds "in the bush" is worth a score or more "in the hand" or in the frying pan. Good tdvloo. If you keep your stomach, liver anil kidneys in perfect workinv order, yon will prevent and cure by fnr tlie greater part of the ill* that »f --diet mankind in this or any section. There is no medicine known that will do this as <|tiicklv or Htrely as Parker's Ginger Tonic, which will secure a perfectly natural action of these im portant organs without interfcrinir in the least with your daily duties >-'ee advertisement.
