evidence that he desires no further al

is scarcely a word, a sentence or a gen

likely to become very valuable It is
called cannel, or candle, because it
burns with a clear yellow flame and

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. The liberty loving world will
ever sjieak of 'Mr Lincoln," because
to speak of "President Lincoln" implies
that the title is his fame— Philath I.

PENS TOWNSHIP, March 4, 1881.
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.

velop a plan and draw up the necessary
papers for carrying out the project of
'•reeling an academy building, and
submit the same to a full meeting
called on Saturday evening, March 11,

nave hail for any term yet. We have
every reason to feel encouraged, and
trust that, while we push forward this
laudable project, the good citiz< lis of
the county and community will con

news of the assassination of the Czar. 1
The General visited St. Petersburg ;

in the summer palace. He remembered i
him as a very fine looking man. about :

The General, while in Itussia, saw
nothing to make him believe the empire
not in the most p rfeet state or order
He saw no evidence of dissatisfaction
among the people ofSt. Petersburgand
could not see what the people could
gain by the death of the Czar.

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

their business, while a specialty is the
testing of old ones An old boiler be

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

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

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

and six children; John Kangenfeld.age
38, unmarried—found under remains of
boiler, burned almost beyond recogni

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

A Deb\t<» Which Fore cl U 3. 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.

Th Appointment of Wayno Mac-
V aeh Endorsed by the House.
HARRISBI RO, March 14 —Upon the
assembling of the House to-night, ;
among the petitions presented were one
for the appropriation to Soldiers' Or
phans Schools and a great ninny favor
in? a constitutional amendment to pro- j
hibit the manufacture and sale of
liquors. Bills were introduced making
persons holding offices of trust or profit
iaelig'hle as members of Councils, es
tablishing a system of uniform fees to
be charged by magistrates, regulating
the traffic in scrap iron and other junk
and authorizing the making ofsidewalks
ami pi a :i»i 11 of shade trees along high
ways other than in cities and villages.
A resolution thanking the President
for appointing Wayne MacVeagh to the
Cabinet was agreed to, and one for af
ternoon session of the HouSte rejected,
and the House adjourned.
THE SENATE.
In the Senate a number of bills were
agreed to on first reading, and the res
olution of lie House requesting Perm
s'' Ivania members of Congress to use
every effort to prevent the practice of
polygamy in the States and Territories
was concurred in. 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,

feet from the ground, the ether day
and broke his neck. Inordinary eases

hand around his neck with lugs on each
side'to which is attached a ropy that
runs through a pullv fixed in the ceil
ing of the room. On tho other end of
the rope is suspended a bucket contain
ing various weights, which can be reg
ulated by the patient as occasion may
require. He remains in a sitting pos
ture, and this contrivance is for the pur
pose <if keeping his head in the same
position until the injured parts become
united. The spinal column was evi
dently not injured. The case iscertain
ly a remarkable oija and will doubtless
attract much attenticu among medical
men.
REPRESENTATIVE Kllis Morrison, o!
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.

—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.

To ill Our Friend*.
Having had numberless inquiries for adver
tising cart I from ladiea in nil parts of the coun
try who are interested iu the prevailing fashion
of making''Card Collection*," we are having
printed for them a set of seven hcantiful cards,
each in six colors, and on a gold background,
in llie very highest decree of art, illustrating
Shiikspeitr's "Seven Ages of Man." We have
■pared no expense in these cards—they are
• imply little art-guns. Our only aim has been
to publish the finest cards yet shown. Appli
cations for them have come ill so rupidly that
nearly the whole edition is engaged before the
receipt by us of the cards from the nrtist. Wc
have therefore been obliged Coadopt the follow
ing plan for the distribution of the remainder :
No more of the gilt Shnkspearo cards, seven iu
the series, will be sent excepting upon the re
ceipt of a statement fro n a groo r that the per
son applying lor the cards has bought from
I him ou that day at least seven bars of Dobbins'
| Electric Soap, with price paid for same. All
' applying in this manner will receive the full
j <et of si veil cards gratis by mail. This will in-
I sure us tnat our friends and patrons get their
I share of these beautiful designs, it in
no manner repays ns for the cost of the cards.
Your grocer has the soap or will get it, and the
purchase by you of seven barn of It ut one time
will secure tor you gratis seven really beautiful
cards. The soap i 111 proven with ane, and is an
I article of necessity in your house every week.
! Therefore you are not asked to buy a useless
article, but one that you must have anyway.
Please send us your applications at once, mid
