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.

—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

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.

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

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. <fc A. R. R. extension to this place had
been let or was under contract is not true. The
route that the road is to follow has not yet l>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.sesse<l of land subject to entry, on condition
of actual settlement—dwelling upon and culti
vating the soil eubraecd in the entry. At the
end of five years of continuous residence on,
and improvement of, the land, he oan receive a
patent for it, though the final title will not be
issued until full citizenship is obtained. The
only payment for such a bountiful
petty fee amounting to $.14 on the Pacific Coast
and to $24 in any other part of the country.
Moreover, if the "locator" wishes to purchase
his homestead outright, he can do so at the end
of six months, paying for his land at the rate of
$1.25 or $2.50 per"acre, according to the provis
ion of the law on the commutation of home
steads. The homestead act has been in opera
tion 18 years, though much the same system of
disposing of the public lands has existed for
nearly 80 years, ond np to the end of the last
fiscal yenr—June 30—tne United States has do
nated to immigrants and others 19,2t>5,337
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.

devotiug all available hours to observ
ing the stranger and say the comet
will be in its perihelion about a month
from say August 19. It is at
present about 150,000,000, miles dis
tant from the earth and is approaching
the earth very rapidly. When it
reaches its perihelion it will be from us
about four-tenths the distance between
the earth and sun. Professor Stone
thinks it very probable that this is the
oomet which was observed by the
Chinese in 1337, as Its orbit is very
nearly the same
A Farmer's Folly.
UNIONTOWN, Pa., Jnly 19.—Last
Thursday Ilob'nson's circus exhibited
in this place. Michael Crow, brother
of Judge Crow, of Nicholson township,
having obtaiued a complimentary
ticket from some one who had exhibi
ted one of the lithographic pictures in
his store window, concluded to visit it.
He felt in a good humor, and displayed
himself conspicuously to three individ
uals inside the canvas, who finally pro
posed to show hiui how he might
double any sum of money be would
show them. Michael thought this an
opportunity for "raising the wind" not
to be neglected, so he left the show,
went to the People's Bank and borrow
ed $1,150, which he carried back to
the show and exhibited to the "doubt
ers.' While the money was being
bandied by one of the party, another
snatched it and hastily disappeared in
the crowd. Crow was so completely
dumbfounded by the act that instead
of raising au alarm he left directly for
his home. Arriving there he went to
bed, seeming to be seriously ill, a phy
sician was sent for, who discovered
that he was suffering from some trouble
that weighed upon his mind. Acting
upon this thought, the physician led
him to divulge the above. He is now
bordering on insanity, although per
fectly able to pay to the bank the
amount borrowed.
Fnmlly Reunion.
There occurred on Saturday, July
23d, near Keppel's Corners, about five
miles from Petrolia, a notable family
reunion. Not often in the history of a
family, does it happen that at the age
of three score and ten a father and
mother are permitted to meet all their
children in an unbroken line of decent
down to the third generation. Such,
however, was a happy privilege of
Daniel L. and Anna H. Kamerer, at
the time and place mentioned above.
This couple was married Oct. 15, 1833,
and are the parents of seven sons and
six daughters, all of whom are married
except one son and one daughter.
The reunion was held at the old home
stead, and there were present thirteen
children, forty-seven grandchildren,
and 10 great-grandchildren, eleven
sons and daughters in law, and seven
grandsons and granddaughters in law.
Total number of members of family
present, eighty-nine; number of invited
guests present, six. The most remark
able feature about this gathering was
the unusual circumstance of a family
circle from the first to the third gener
ation unbroken by the death of a sin
gle member. The like will probably
never come again to the knowledge of
any of those reading this. In the or
chard, near the house, the table was
spread with the choicest and most ap
petizing viands, to which this large
family and guests proceeded t and to
which they did the most ample jnstice.
The Rev. Gumbert, pastor of the Ger
man Reformed Church, presided, and
offered the following toast in reference
to the aged parents: 'May they live
long yet; may their declining days be
free from care and trouble ; and, finally,
may God grant them a peaceful depar
ture out of this life and a triumphant
enterance into that better life beyond
the grave, through the grace of Christ
our Lord ' After partaking of the
sumptuous repast a liberal purse was
presented to the parents as a token of
filial love. The sons and sons-in-law
then retired to the meadow and indulg
ed in a game of base ball, which would
have done credit to experts. It was a
day that will never be forgotten by
the participants; and, altogether, forms
one of the most notable events in the
history of Butler county. In the nat
ural order of things, it is not likely
that another such union will ever be
witnessed by any now living in this
county.— Petrolia Record, July 30.
Judge Tourgee, the author of A
Fool's Errand, held a reception at his
new residence, near Mayville, N. Y.,
last week. The Judge it appears,
gave the copyright of his last book,
"Bricks Without Straw," to his wife,
and the proceeds have been so large
that she was enabled to buy the prop
erty they now occupy. He claimed
the right to name the place, and calls
it "Thorheim," the translation of
which is a "Fool's Home." When his
visitors arrived they saw a bed of
flowers in which appeared in small
white daisies the German word "Thor
heim," and the jovial Judge had to
explain its meaning and how he came
to have a new house.

The worn look and miserable feel

by weak Stomach, Kidneys or bowels,

Buffer thus who will use Parker's Gin

has such a beneficient action on these
