La6t year the amount paid for jute imported into the United States was valued at $7,000,000. For the year ending June 30,1881, the amount is estimated at $10,000,000. No more Jury Commissioners. The law was repealed last winter and after the expiration of the terms of Messrs. Monks and McCrea, the dnty will devolve upon the Coun ty Commissioners and Sheriff. Articles of incorporation of the Oriental Interoceanic and International rail road have been approved by Gov. Cornell, of New York, and filed by the Secretary of State. The capital of the company is $25,000,000. Can I gire my son a college edu cation at home ? asked a proud, anxious father. "Certainly," replied an expert, who knows aB about it, "All you want is a base ball guide, a racing shell and a few packages of cigarettes." Each Senator of this State has been given a free scholarship to the State Col lege at Bellefonte, Centre county. Any young man of this district wishing to attend that Col lege should inquire of Senator Greer for partic ulars. The news that Sehserberle's comet has grown a tail, a forked one at that, and is aiming, head on, for the earth, will add to pub lic interest in this new messenger of the skies, which may yet carry off the honors as the great comet of 1881. —The Salt Lake Tribune suggests that the Mormons should consider the proposi tion to purchase the Sandwich Islands. It would reqnire only seven years tithing to foot the bill of #7,000,000, and they would have a kingdom all to themselves. —A peculiar type of diphtheria, pro nounced by physicians to be wholly a nasal trouble, has presented itself among the children at Hasletou, Pa. It is said to be something like membraneous croup, and vet a disease which results in the chifd's death in nine' out ten cases. —The powder magazine of the gov ernment of Mexien, at Mazatlan, is reported to have exploded last Thursday morning, killing a large number of people, and demolishing a whole square of the city. Seventy bodies have been recovered and many more are buried un der the mini. —A Steubenville (O.) dispatch says that a man named Elias Smith, of Harrisbnrg, was recently married to a widow named Aid ridge. When the two reached the home of Mrs. Aldridge's parents in SteubeDville tbey were set upon and beaten by the old folks, and the whole party arrested and fined. A warm re ception, surely. —By the advertisement in another place it will be teen that another dividend has been declared to the creditors of the First Na tional Bank, of this place. This is the third dividend that has been ordered and with it the creditors will have received 40 percent, of their claims on the Bank. —A Connecticut man lost papers representing SB,OOO while at a picnic.

The sorgeons think they have discover ed the location of the bullet, and annonnce that it lies in the front wall of the abdomen, about five inches below and to the right of the navel. —"Fence-board advertisements," ob served a practical old fanner, "are well enough as landscape adornment, but if you are desir ous of purchasing an article it is easier and more convenient to look through the columns of a newspaper to see who has it for sale than it is to "book ap" a team and drive around the country reading fences." —The most important industry in New York city is the manufacture of men's clothing, a branch of business which has grown wonderfully since the introduction of power for cutting as well as sewing, lite yearly produc tion in this line is valued at $59,798,697, em ploying 64,066 hands, while women's clothing figures for $10,599,487, employing 17,267 hands. —One ef the President's physicians expressed the opinion the other aay to a per sonal friend that the President would certainly recover, but that it would be a tedious opera tion, necessitating perhaps several months of cloae attention. He did not think he would be up and about in a few weeks, as many persons supposed, but must exercise a vast amount of patience and submit to a slow healing of his wound. —At the last regular meeting of the "Germania Orchestra" the following officers were elected and constitute the Board of Man agement for the ensuing year : President and Manager, E. W. Vogeler ; Secretary and Treas urer, M. A. Lowman ; Librarian, Geo. C. Pil low. E. D. Colbert and Jas. Vogeley were elected members of Board of Management. The Board of Management elected Mr. William S. Ziegter, Leader. —The reports from the great wheat region pf the west are not encouraging. They come just when this staple cereal is in a critical condition, just, when it is ripe for the chinch bug, the rust, the raiu, and the tornado, but not quite ripe for the harvest. The central ce real region will apparently have a small crop but in the northwest the prospects are better — in some regions even brilliant. —The address of ex-Chief Justice Agnew, of this State, on the "dangers of Repub lican government in the United States, deliver ed before the graduating class and faculty of Roanoke College, Salem, Va., at the late com mencement at the college, is one of the best things we have ever read. A copy of the ad dress will be sent free to any address by apply ing to the Secretary of the Faculty, Roanoke College, Salem, Va. mine of Antimony, a valuable mineral used in medicine, and also in the man ufacture of type, has been discovered in Utah territory. _ All antimony heretofore came from Great Britain and the island of Borneo, and paid an import duty of 10 per cent ad valorem, and there is also some from Sonora. It is be lieved that with proper rail facilities to the mines of the west there will be no need of im portations. —No cine to the perpetrators of the outrage of March 25th last, upon John Connor §qd his wife of Catf}sh Station, Clarion poqnty, OH the A. V- R. R-, was discovered until Thurs day of last week, when some parties negotiated through a firm of Pittsburgh land brokers for the sale of some A; V. R. R. and Brady's Bend Bridge Co. Bonds that had been taken from Mr. Connor. A comparison of the numbers of the bonds showed that they were part of the Connor plunder, and the parties who had them and also the brokers were arrested. Economists in Berlin are divided on the question of emigration, some holding it to be a purifying stream giving relief to an over-populated country, others looking upon it as a disastrous drain of capital and muscle. One authority has reckoned a lass to liermany by emigration to America of not less than 12,300,- 000, OX) marks in capital. There certainly is no division of opinion in this country about giving welcome to all who come. —Mr. James Bonn, of Pittsburgh, member of the firm of .James Bown & Uo., deal ers in guns, etc., and Mr. Thompson, President of the Allemania Fire Insurance Co., of same city, made our town a visit last week and while here were the guests of Sheriff Hoffman. Mr. Thompson is quite a noted shot, but at a little match gotten up for the visitors, our townsman John N. Muntz tied Mr. Thompson three timej. They shot at glass balls thrown from a trap. —Leo Hartmann. the most noted. perhaps, of all the Nihilist leaders, arrived in this country last Friday. Since his attempt, which came so very near being successful, eighteen months ago, to blow up the Moscow tmin, and with it the late Czar and his impe rial retinue, a price has been on his head. There is, perhaps, no man in the world to-dav more obnoxious to the Bussian government than this latest political refugee, frcm the old to the new hemisphere. —One of the main witnesses against John D. Lee and the Mormon miscreants who were responsible for the Mountain Meadow massacre has perished mysteriously. The body of Bishop Philip Klingen Smith has been found in a prospect hole in Sonora, apparently with marks of violence. It is a startling sequel to one of the foulest chapters of Mormon history. What makes the fate of the witness terribly significant is his own prediction : "The Church will kill me sooner or later." —Among the other great improve ments of the times is the pneumatic clock, by which the time pieces of a whole city can be regulated. This is done by means of compress ed air forced through tubes or pipes, which con. nect alfof the clocks to be regulated with the central one. Paris, Vienna, St. Petersburg and Madrid are soon to have such an arrangement and the pneumatic clock is to be introduced in to England also. The probabilities are that iu use wi'l very soon become extended to all of the large cities of the world. A Blair county woman was lately stung on the wrist by a "snake feeder." The wound gave great pain and caused the arm to swell up, and in a short time the whole body became swollen and raised up in spots like the welts left by a cowhide. Bemedies were admin istered, and* on the following morning the swel ling had gone down considerably. The insect stung the woman on an artery, and the poison ous blood passed through the entire system. They are generally cowardly and are more apt to retreat than to attack individuals. BARN BURNED. —The barn of Mr. Andrew Heagel, of East Jackson township, this county, was struck by lightning on last Thursday and with all its contents burned up. Mr. H. had just finished filling it with his har vest, of wheat, hay, etc., and his loss is a very serious one. The Barn was a new one just built for him by Mr. Elias R. Boyer, who was farm ing the place and who also lost about SIOO in hay etc. Mr. Heagel is an old man, crippled up", and his aged wife blind. There was no in surance and his case, we are informed, is one that should commend itself to the charitable action of all his neighbors. —A Charleston (Va.) paper tells this story : "A bass weighing one pound in 1880 was "returned to the Potomac with a small sleigh-bell attached to its tail with a wire. A few days ago it was caught with the bell still attached,.the fish weighing six pounds." This may sound like a fish story, but some of our readers will remember that a one pound bass caught in the Schuylkill five years ago was re turned to the water with a penny tin-whistle attached to its tail. Three years later the bass was caught near the same spot. It still weigh ed a pound, but the whistle had grown into a fog horn. — Norristoirn Hcritfd. —During General Grant's occupan cy of the Presidential office it was a frequent subject of remark that he had an unusually large number of relations. The descendants of the Palmer family, to the number of 2,000, are to hold a reunion this month in Connecticut. A shrewd genealogist has traced General Grant's pedigree back to old man Palmer, who came over in the Mayflower or about that time, and the ex-President accepts the connec tion with his usual readiness to take whatever comes to hand. The third term is more objec tionable now than ever. An addition of this couple of thousand new relations of General Grant to the civil list would be more than the country could well stand. —On the 27th of June, Mr. L. Pal miter, a resident of Hamilton township, McKean county, went into the woods to watch a deer lick and not returning, his brother went in search, thinking perhaps some misfortune might have befallen him. Arriving at the lick a most horrible sight met his gaze. Lying a few feet apart was the dead and mangled body of Mr. Palmiter and that of a large cata mount. It was evident from the surroundings that the struggle for life hod been severe, as the ground where the fatal encounter took place was covered with blood. The animal was a very large one, measuring five feet and six inches in length, and twenty inches in lieigth. —ln no one of our thousand indus tries, perhaps, has greater progress been made during the post fifteen or twenty years than in the manufacture of silk and the products of silk. Beginning in a small way in Jersey city the gentlemen who engaged in this new and untried experiment have steadily persevered until to-day the looms of Paterson are as re nowned as those of Lyons and the fabrics they send forth are equal if not superior to anything that comes to us from the Ola World, which it was supposed enjoyed a monopoly that could not be overthrown in this fine and costly line of manufacture. The result is another and not the least of the triumphs of American courage, skill, energy and enterprise. —A remarkable man hunt is going on in the wilds of Wisconsin. On the 10th of last month two brothers, named Coleman, offi cers of the law, who were endeavoring to arrest two horse thieves, Lon and Edward Williams, were murdered by the men they were pursuing, in the village of Durand. A posse or citizens and officials at once set out in pursuit and chas ed them into the Big Woods of Wisconsin. There are outlaws now hiding, and have thus far eluded their pursuers. Late dispatches tay that eight Indian scouts, headed oy Buffalo Charlie and Yellowstone Kelly, and accompa nied by thirty bloodhounds, have arrived to aid in the chase, and the big woods will nee such a terrible hunt as they never saw before. —The New York Legislature before adjourning, voted to send down to the people a Constitutional amendment providing for the abolition of all tolls on the State's canals. These canals have played a very importaut part in the elevation of' New York City to its present commercial eminence. They have giv en it an advantage possessed by no other city on the Atlantic seaUtard ; and even the recent development of transportation by rail, while di minishing, has not destroyed, their im|K>rtance. i But they are now threatened by the completiou of the canal system of Canada. Sea-going shi|>« of small size will soon be able to start from the wharves of Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit, and to reach those of Liverpool or Antwerp via the Weliand Canal and the St. Lawrence river, without a single Interruption or change of car go. Hence the anxiety felt as to the future of New York City as a depot of the grain trade. —Mr. George Schaffer, of this town, received the sad intelligence bv telegraph last Thursday noon, that his son Samuel, aged 25 years, had that morning been crushed to death !»y the falling of a board pile in a lumber yard in which he was employed, at Beaver halls, Beaver county, Pa. George immediately got a ri£ and went to that town, and returned here with his dead son next day. Saui. and Mell. McCormiek, of this place, both of whom were employed in the same mill, had gone from the mill to the lumber yard to get a nit of dry pine for gome special purpose. This they took out from the side of a lumber pile, when the upper part of it slid down upon them crushing Sam. to death almost instantly aud severely injuring McCormiek. Sam's sudden and violent death is a terrible blow to George and his family, also to a Miss Renfrew of Renfrew's mills, to whom he was engaged to be married. This is the second son of George who has met with a violent death, his sou George, aged sixteen years, having been killed on toe Branch R. R., at Great Belt, a few years ago. —The discovery of several infernal machines on board of steamers reaching Liver- from this country seems to have caused considerable excitement in the House of Com mon*, the inevitable inference being that they were the work of Fenians. Sir William Ver non Harcourt, the Home Secretary, stated that the discoveries were the result of Information received by the Government, the names of the vessels being given. The agent in New York of one of the Bteamship lines in question ex presses doubts of the truth of the reiiort, but the Home Secretary's confirmation of it in the House was positive, and this is followed by a description of the machines themselves, which •howa that they were capable of doing immense mischief. The Home Secretary expressed the opinion—and dwelt upon it—that the attempt was the outcome of the agitation of the Fenian press in this country, and a significant refer ence was made to the action taken in the case of the Freihrit, to show what the British Gov- WtiibtK $?«.» s\,Motts± 3, ISSI» eminent had been ready to do in a matter af fecting other peoples than its own. —There is something in codfish which seems peculiarly provocative of interna tional disputes. It is not long ai;o that the United States paid Canada a fish bill of $5,500,- OUO, and Mr. Walter Blaine, aided by legal counsel, lately, divided among the Gloucester people the proceeds of a *7S,(HX) fish bill which had just been collected from the Dominion. Now Commissioners are sitting in London in regard to a fish quarrel between England and France ; and the action of the French com mandant on the Newfoundland coa--t is one of the subjects of discussion between the two Gov ernments. The St. George's Bay trouble in volves a question of disputed riehts of Frencli fishermen to catch and cure fish on a certain portion of the west coast of Newfoundland. In the treaties which confirmed British sovereign ty over Canada and its appurtenances, certain fishing privileges on this coast were reserved to the French, but were carefully restricted, not only as to the portion of the shore whose hospi talities for the purpose of curing fish were thus conceded, but also as to the manner of enjoying then). —The report that some ten miles of the S. een decided upon. Two routes, the direct from Coalville, and the one starting at New Hope and following Findley's run have been sur veyed, and the engineers are now surveying a third route, following the south branch of the Slipperyrock and coming from it to the head waters of the Muddycreek, a few rods east of Sunbury. They will finish this survey inside of two weeks, "when the company will decide upon which route to build. The last one men tioned is said to present the best grades, and easy grades on a freight road means a great sav ing" in running expenses. We have no doubt that this road and aiso the link connecting the narrow guage railroads will soon lie built, as the Pennsylvania is behind one of thein, and reliable men the other, but we would not advise the taking of too much stock in air-line, inter oceanie, etc, schemes, until it is demonstrated that they do not now and always will exist in the imagination of speculators and swindlers who intend pocketing the proceeds of any bonds they may sell and taking their chances on evading the Quarter Sessions. —Guiteau's bad example is appar ently being followed to some extent. There is no telling now many imitators of his species of crime may spring up in different parts of the country before tne thing is over with. The President cannot lie shot at any more just now, and so the cranks go gunning for Goveruors. We are told that Governor Pillsbury, of Minne sota, was marked for assassination by a crazy man who spent several days lurking about the Executive premises with a musket, trying to get a pop at him. Coming ulose upon the re port tnat an attempt was made on Wednesday last to get a chance to shoot Governor Cornell at Albany with an unloaded old-fashioned gun, the incident guggests the propriety of the sharp lookout on the part of this class of public func tionaries. Inconsiderate and unreflecting per sons may be incliued to ridicule the danger to which Governor Cornell was exposed as wholly imaginary ; but, if such scoffers will only re flect upon the fatal execution which has been done by unloaded fire arms he will see that it is no laughing matter. It is always the shot guns, pistols and so forth which are not loaded that go off and kill people, and the more old fashioned and dilapidated these weapons are the more disastrous are the results of handling them. —A very large proportion of the im mense number of immigrants arriving in this oountry are going west with the intention of "homesleading" so soon as tbey can legally do so. Besides a fair opj>ortunity to win a liveli hood or a fortune, the United Slates offers to every adult among them who "declares his in tention" of becoming a citizen, ICO acres of uu occupied public land in any State or Territory j>os.sesse5,337 acres. —Among millers, especially in the north west, there is a growing agitation against •oft wheat. A local paper reports that all the millers at Minneapolis lately refused to buv a load of Lost Nation because they had resolved to grind no wheat no soft. The flour from Min neapolis and other milling points in Minnesota has obtained its superior reputation principal ly because it is made of such very hard wheats as Fife. While this and other very Lard wheats will not yield so much per acre as soft varieties, mill-men can make a higher grade of flour from them by the'"new process" and are theretore willing to pay a better figure for them. Quite a considerable number of mills in Western Wisconsin will not, it is said, buy Wisconsin wheat, because it is deemed too soft, preferring to send grain buyers into Minnesota for their supplies. Of late years tarmers of the latter State have been tempted to grow soft wheats more extensively than formerly,and consequent ly the Minneapolis and other "high grade" mills in the northwest have lately been buying heavily in Dakota where a new grade, "Ilard No. 1," gives great satisfaction, while the soft grain is being shipped in bulk to the eastern markets, mostly for export. It would seem that if the miller cannot ordain what sort of wheat the farmer shall grow in any other way, he will, wherever he can afford to do so, go so far as to refuse to buy soft wheat. —lt is announced that Postmaster- General James proposes to submit a new scheme of postal money-orders to Congress at its next session. At present, if anyone wishes to send a postal-order ne is obliged to go to the office, generally wait some time for the clerk, answer tiresome and needless questions, anil, finally, receive a much-written upon ami stamped re ceipt and order to pav, which is of no use to the person to whom it is sent until the postmaster of the paying office has received a letter of ad visement, and then the payee has to give the name anil address of the person sending and to satisfy the postmaster that he is the person named. For this cumbersome system Mr. James proposes to substitute a thin note-paper blank of two denominations, running up to $2.50 and $5. Upon the blanks the numerals are stamped in three columns. As we under stand it. these blanks will he somewhat similar to a Pullman-car ticket or a railway mileage ticket. All that will be necessary for a sender will be to present his money, and he will re ceive a blank with the amount, say $4.75, punched out of the three columns of numerals —four in the first, seven in the second, and live in the third. He may buy as many of these as he pleases, and send them to whom he pleases, without any signing or counter-signing or refer ences. and they will be cashed at once. These orders will cost probably two and four cents each, will be good for three months, ami the Government will be protected by tine engraved work on the face of the blank. —The Continental R. It. Co., last week, hail recorded in the Register & Record er's office of this county, a mortgage or trust deed to the amount of $40,000 j>er mile for each mile of the double-track railroad tliev propose building, to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., of New York, as trustee, to secure the payment of the bouds of the road, which are not to ex ceed in amount the value of the road estimated at $40,000 per mile. The bonds are to be of SI,OOO each, payable in 1911, with interest at six per cent., gold. The paper states that the R. R. Co. is now building a line of double track railroad from the Hudson river, op)>osite New York City, to the Missouri river. It will pass through the States of New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and lowa, from all of which it has received charters. The mortgage is quite lengthy, covering nine pages of printed{matter, ana we suppose has to DC re corded in every county that the road will pass through. The route of the road through this county has not yet been definitely decided up on so far as we know, but we suppose it will follow IU near as possible, a straight line be tween Red Hank, or Mahoning ou the Alleghe ny river, and Youngstown, O. The New Castle papers state that it will pass two miles to the north of that town, which if true would show that the road will not go out of its way for towns of that size. Report has it that the bridge over the Allegheny is to be a suspension bridge from bluff to bluff, three hundred feet above the water, which is a very ridiculous re port. Baby Saved, We are so thaukful to say that our baby was permanently cured of a dan gerous and protracted irregularity of the bowels by the use of Hop Bitters by its mother, which at the same time restored her to perfect health and strength.—The parents, Rochester, N Y See another column.— Buffalo Express. —On the 20th of August, 1880, there was a trial Of plows On the larm ol E.
