many immigrants would come to Cas
tle Garden during the month of May
has at length been satisfied—the pro

an average of nearly 2,500 a day for
the month, and, of course, it surpasses
anvthing before known in the growth
of the country, being greater than
some entire years of immigration.
The influx represents, among other
things, a certain proportion of men
sived from becoming food lor powder.
—Nearly if not all the Southwestern
and Western Sstates have enacted
what they call contagion laws, which
arc designed to insure the health of
the people by compelling the enforce
ment of strict sanitary laws. A feature
of these laws is to counteract malarial
influences. It is a fact in the West, as
it is in the East, that every farmer and
every householder in the rural districts
and the towns is content if he can get
rid of the material which produces
malaria, so as not to injure himself, no
matter who else is injured.
—To say the least, it was a mean
trick to start those slanders against the

man by profession, and Sergeant-at
anns of the National House and custo
dian of certain Congressional stipends
by occupation. John G. is not guilty.
He never intended to be guilty. Mr.
Thompson positively says so, and that
settles it. In fact the pride of Ohio
Democr»»xy is in many respects very
much like that other.

The party of laborers who have
just completed the connecting link of
narrow guage road between Parker and
Foxburg, arrived here over the P. K.
C. & B , road last Saturday morning.
They bad their tools, bedding, furni
ture and other housekeeping goods
with them. They hired teams and
wagons here to take them to Evans
burg, where they will commence work
on that end of the road to be built to
this place, and will live in shantie9 to
be constructed for them. One of the
bosses stated that another party of
men would be here in a few days to
commence work on this end.
—A terrible accident occured at Par
ker lately caused by an explosion of
nitroglycerine. A party of boys had
found in the woods two empty shells
that had contained the fluid. These
were taken to the house of Mr. Bair,
where James Moore, a brother-in law
of Bair, aged sixteen, endeavored, with
a hammer, to take off the cap of one.
The shell exploded tearing his left
hand and arm to shreds, and bis body,
in the region of the abdomen, in a ter
rible manner. Dr. Goheen was attend
ing him, and at last accou its entertain
ed no hopes of recovery. Young
Moore's parents reside at Natrona.
—The recent riot at Clonmel, Ire
landi was a rather serious affair, and
the authorities seem to have had as
much as they could do to restore order.
In (be fight between the military and
the rioters stones were used by the latter
so effectually that a number of the con
stabulary were seriously injured, one or
two fatally. Man) civillians were
also severely injured. The cause of
the riot was a report that a local
clergyman had been arrested while a
sale of farms was going 00, the im
mense crowd at once rallying for bis
rescue. This was barely defeated, the
fight which resulted being a determin
ed and bloody one.
—Efforts are being made to encour
age tbe planting of groves of walnut
trees, for tbe purpose of cultivating
these trees alike for tbe fruit they
yield and for the value of the wood.
The latter interest has lately become
of great value. Thirty-five and forty
years ago all fine furniture was made
of mahogany, and then tberc was no
hard wood finish in bouses other than
oak Now the most valuable hard
wood is walnut, curled maple coming
next in order. Black walnut is tbe
most popular of all woods. This is
the inducement to plant groves of wal
nut trees and to cultivate them with a
view to attaining perfection of growth.
—Tbe Advertisement House of N.
W. Ayer & Son, occupying for its
main room one entire floor of the
Time* building is an illustration of
what may be attained by intelligence,
integrity and well-directed energy in
business. It is only a dozen years
since Mr. Ayer commenced his adver
tising agency in this city on tbe small
est scale, when there were six estab
lished houses in the business here,
and iow tbe Ayer agency has almost
entirely absorbed tbe Philadelphia
agency advertising, and it ranks with
the fpremost a<]yprtii}iug qf the
country. It is conducted on the
soundest business principles, justly
commands tbe confidence of both ad
vertisers and public journals, and itf
remarkable success is simply the legiti
mate result of honesty and energy in
prosecuting the advertising trade.

—Holders of hopeless bonds and
stocks sometimes continue their annual
meetings, as if in memorial services
over tbir losses, long after they have
caused to derive any consolation for
the past or expectation for the future.
This babit or instinct seems to have
influenced the British bondholders of
the Confederate cotton loan of 1863 in
thier meeting of Tuesday, at the Can
non Street Hotel, in London. Their
only possibility of getting payment of
their claims jests, apparently, in thp
Government ql the United States., on
which most of them confess that they
have no legal claim. And the chances
of our Govcrment paying out money
to indemnify the sinews of war lor
overthrowing it, hardly seem to justify
the invitation given to contribute a
shilling the hundred pounds, for the
committee's expenses.

—The millers of Great Britain are
becoming seriously alarmed at the pros
pect of their trade being monopolized
by the mills of the United States. By
way of endeavoring to maintain their
prestige and their profits, which can
only be done through the introduction
of improved processes and the best ma
chinery, they are holding an interna
tional exhibition of such machinery and
its products in the great Agricultural
Hall, London, which is very largely
attended and well stocked. That the
alarm of the British millers is not whol
ly groundless the London Times shows
by statistics of the amount of home
grown and imported wheat and flour
used in the United Kingdom for six
years past. These show that whereas
the quantity of flour coming from the
States was only 1,772.000 hundred
weight in 1876, it was 3,635,000 hun
dred weight in 1878, rose to 6,863,000
hundred weight in 1879, and nearly
reached 7,000,000 hundred weight last
year.
—The speculation of the near future
will be in timber, of which the North
ern and Middle States have wasted
such enormous quantities, wantonly
destroying forests that might well
have remained untouched as a heritage
for future generations. Already in
many of the Western States where
there is much forest, speculators are
buying all the timber land they can
secure, with a view of transferring it
to corporations, by which it will be
held for future speculative purposes.
The coal, oil and slate fields of Penn
syluania are now completely under
the control of corporations, by which
these great natural resources are held
for speculative operations, and direct
ed in such a manner as always to be
an imposition on the consumer, be
cuase they never come within the
range of competition. There is no
doubt whatever that the best timber
lands of the North and West will pass
under the control of corporate combi
nations of wealth, by which they will
be made marketable in such a way as
to increase their prices to the consu
mer.
—lt has been lately a cause ot alarm
with some religious denominations
that the number of young men study
ing for the ministry was growing
smaller every year. They reason that
it is only another evidence of the
spread of infidelity and the drift in<r of the
Nation towards a general skepticism
which will not only destroy Christian
ity, but morality as well.
80 far as the diminution of theologi
cal students is concerned, to a certain
degree they are probably right. Boys
now growing up are disposed to think
for themselves in religious matters as
well as in other things. The unques
tioning faith of long ago, which took
everything as true because believed by
their fathers and grandfathers, is gone
nor can it be brought back a?ain.
Old doctrines do not possess the force
of yore, although, in many places, the
doubts and questionings are upon
points which really arc of little impor
tance in human action, and if ignored
would make no difference in the results
of individual work directed by a con
scientious desire to do good.
It is not much wonder that boys
with bright, active minds hesitate to
make choice of the ministry for a life
work when they see that the effect of
any independent thought is to ostra
cise them from the Church in which
they have desired to labor. They see,
to be sure, that the number of so-call
ed independent Churches is constantly
increasing, that in all large cities min
isters with a portion of their flocks are
cutting the bonds that unite them to
the rest and setting up for themselves.
If they know the story of the affair,
they cannot fail to see that there has
been an infinite amount of bad feeling;
o f jars ; of bitter words ; d <ys and
weeks of bitter sorrow to the pastor
before the separation has been brought
about. A young man must be entire
ly sure of the ground he stands upon,
must feel that be is and will be satisfi
ed with the doptfififg laji} d°WH bv his
Church, and ho will not question what
has been declared law by those who
have gone before him, will not think
out of the beaten track, before he makes
up his mind to enter upon such sacred
duties. There are those in all denom
inations who can far sooner forgive a
moral delinquency often repeated, than
a failure to be in full accord with all
the doctrines of the Church.
is, probably, this tendency to
think for -themselves and this fear ot
sometime being obliged to fight for
conscience sake, that is diminishing the
number of bright, promising young
mou who desire to enter the ministry.

The list of constables was colled,

the Court gave notice that after a care
ful examination of the law on the sub

persons selling beer, ale, eic., by riffht
of a bottler's license, were doing so il
legally, and directed the constables to
make return of all such persons, so
that indictments could be made out

The Court also gave notice that the
White murder cage would not be takuii
up till next Monday afternoon at 2 o'-
clock, and excused witnesses till that
time. The counsel for the defendant
asked the Court to suspend making
the rule, till they could state In writing
that they were ready for trial ; the
prosecution also stated that they were
ready. We understand that Judire
McJunkin declined to go on the bench and

One Experience From Many.
,1 had been sick and miserable so
long and had caused my husband so
much trouble and expense, no one
seemed to know what ailed me, that
I was completely disheartened and
discouraged. In this trame of mind I
got a bottle of Hop Bitters and I used
them unknown to my family. I soon
began to improve and gained so fast
that my husband and family thought it
strange and unnatural but when I told
them what had helped me, the* said
'Hurrah for Hop Bitters; long may
they prosper, for tiiey have made
mother well and us happy.'—The

IT has never happened in this coun

regarded by all thinking men as the
canker which will rot the heart out of
the party unless cauterized, and that
