—The case of the Receiver of the
First National Bank of this place vs.
Chas. Duffy, was finished before the
U. S. Circuit Court, sitting in Pitts
burgh, last Wednesday, when thejnry
found for the defendant.
—When Guiteau was asked if he
•was insane, he replied : 'I am not an
■expert ; let these experts and the jury
decide that.' How many insane men
■wonld have answered thus ? Does one
.often meet a lunatic who does not deny
at every point, and in every case, any
charge affecting his sanity ?
—We are requested to state that the
I Miss A. A. Eshenbaugh, mentioned in
; the CITIZEN, of last week, as suing a
: certain Hiram Crawford for a breach of
promise, is not Miss A. D. Eshenbaugh,
of Centre township, this county.
—Late experience proves that the
greater portion of the profits of trunk
lines of railways is derived from local
traffic in passengers and freights. It
l is not the through traffic which pays,
because on that there is competition.
The advertisements of Harper's
Magazine, Weeklv and Bazar for 1882,
can be seen in another place in this
paper. We can club either or all these
publications and also Harper's Young
People, with the CITIZEN at reduced
rates.
—During a few days hunt along the
Slipperyrock, between Hilliard's Mills
and North Hope, last week, Hans.
Derby and Cha9. Book, of Bardford,
bagged 130 pheasants and other game,
weighing in all some four hundred
pounds.
—Gutting a bank is dangerous busi
ness out west. The president and
cashier of a bank in Sumner county,
Kansas, which closed its doors a few
days ago, were taken in charge by a
mob of depositors and invited to settle
or die. They settled.
—Keifer, of Ohio, received therepub
lican cacus nomination for speaker of
the national House of Representatives,
last Saturday. He was nominated in
the 16th ballot, receiving 93 of the 144
ballots cast. McPherson, of this State,
was nominated for clerk.
—The members of the country debat
ing society that decided last winter
that capital punishment should be
abolished, must feel greatly discouraged
when they reflect that nearly one hun
dred hangings have taken place in this
country since their decision.
—Postmaster-General James in his
annual report strongly urges the es
tablishment of Government savings
banks. The system has proved an ad
mirable success in England, and per
haps its best feature, aside from abso
lute security against failure or loss, is
its incitement to the laying by of small
amounts by a vast number of people
all over the land.
—The estimate of the Commissioner
of Pensions 'bat an appropriation of
$235,000,000, will be required during
the next two years to meet the de
mands on the national treasurv arising
under the pension arrears act of 187 9, has
created a profound impression through
out the country. Congress, evidently,
did not know what it was doing when
it leagalized this plunder of the treas
ury.
—Examination of the Tax-Office
books in Philadelphia shows that in
two Wards alone upwards of half a
million dollars were stolen from the
city and the State in a single year. So
Philadelphia is enjoying a sensation,
which is not. made less sensational or
more pleasant by the announcement
that this is but the beginning of what
is expected from the investigation now
in progress.
—The Pacific National Bank, of Bos
ton, failed because the President loaned
a million or more to a State street
speculator without any security, and
the speculator did not turn over secur
ities as he promised. No wonder peo
ple are beginning to ask on what sys
tem—not to say principles—banks are
run, when the president can loan and
the cashier make away at pleasure
with their funds.
—The Supreme Court has recently
decided that "a promissory note which
bears the genuine signature of the obli
gor, but which was, in fact, obtained
from him by fraud and under the im
pression that he was signing an entire
ly different instrument, is a valid obli
gation against him, and in the hands of
a bona fide purchaser or assignee, for
value, before maturity." Moral: Be
careful what you sign.
—The tenth census shows that Penn
sylvania's area is 44,985, and not 46,-
000, as usually given. The new coun
ty of Lackawanna has 440 square miles
and Luzerne 910. Centre is now the
biggest county in the State, with 1,230
square miles; Lycoming follows close
with 1,205; Bradford is third, with 1,-
160; Tioga, Somerset, Potter, West
moreland, Bedford, Crawford and Mc-
Kean each Lave an area of 1,000 or
more square miles.
—That it may be a misfortune to
have money left one is illustrated by
the case of Miss A. G'onley, who bad
seventy-five shares of stock in the New
ark Mechanics' Bank bequeathed her.
The assessment made by reason of
Baldwin's rascality and the bank's ruin
not only calls for the entire value of
her shares, but money besides; and un
less the directors can be held responsi
ble for not doing their duty, what was
intended to furnish MissConley a fixed
income will prove to her a positive loss.
Guiteau looks back with disgust
on the period of his life when he was a
member of tho % Oneida Community.
He admits that he was 'badly crauked*
at that time, and denounces the Socie
ty as a miserable affair. He ought to
have felt at home there, for that offen
sive social experiment was carried on
by a particularly bad lot ot cranks of
both sexes. They had the merit of in
dustry, however, and it was probably
the necessity of working for his board
which made his life among them so
irksome to Guiteau.
—Our Fish and Game Association
received four cans of black bass and
german carp from the State Board,
last Friday night. Half the bass were
put in the creek here, and half the
carp in the creek above Reiber's dam.
The other half of each will be put in
the Slipperyrock. The bass are all
females, are each about a foot long and
will spawn next spring. Each female
bass lays 40,000 eggs every spring,
and if they are protected for a few
years we will then have some good
fish in our creeks.
—A large crowd of men at Durand,
Minn., seized a noted thief and murder
er who had just confessed in Court to
the killing of two well-known citizens
and officers, quickly threw a rope
around his neck, and bung him over
the limb of a tree. A coroner's jury
held an inquest an hour later, and
rendered the verdict, 'Came to his
death by falling from the Court House
steps and breaking his neck.' There
haye been many singular inquest
verdicts, but this takes precedence.
And the lynching, when the law was
ready to mete out justice, was some
thing that might have been expected
from Arkansas or the mining regions,
but hardly from Minnesota.

—Christmas and New Years coming
on Sunday this year, the day before,
Saturday, will be generally observed as
the holiday. In the case of banks and
other public institutions it is legally
enacted that when a holiday comes on
Sunday the day previous shall be ob
served, and custom is making this ob
servance general. Saturday is usually
a half holiday, anyhow, with a great
many classes, aud it will be much more
satisfactory to take that day and be
ready for business again on Monday
morning than to break in on the begin
ning of the week with a holiday.
—We ask yoii to read the adver
tisement of Darby's Prophylactic
Fluid, which appears in our issue of
to-day. It Is a wonderful healing rem
edy, a most powerful disinfectant, and
a positive germ destroyer, and is per
fectly safe to use even in the hand# of
the most inexperienced. It is highly
recommended by eminent physicians
and chemists, and endorced by hun
dreds of others who have used it and
know its valuable prosperities. It
costs but a trifle, and will save much
suffering, time and money. Darby's
Fluid has long been recognized as a
household article for universal family
use. Prepared by J. H. Zeilin & Co.,
Manufacturing Chemists, Sole Pro
prietors.
—State Attorney General Palmer
has refused to interfere with the affairs
of the Building & Loan Association of
this place, and any further proceedings
towards annulling the charter of the
Association will have to be presented
directly to the court here. This effort
to annul the charter has had ihe good
effect of causing several members of
the Association to withdraw, or in
other words to take their money out of
it, with the six per cent, interest from
a middle date, to which they are legal
ly entitled. When money stagnates in
the treasury of a Building & Loan As
sociation, all non-borrowers should
withdraw. It will do ihem no good to
stay in, and by staying in they do
their neighbors a positive injury; in
fact, when a Building & Loan Asso
ciation gets into the shape that ours
was a short time ago, it ceases to be a
mutual benefit society and does not ful-
fill the spirit of any Building k Loan
law ever passed by our State legisla
ture. We hope to see all the non-bor
rowers withdraw as fast as the money
accumulates to pay them off.

history, popularly treated, travel aud "adventure
at home aud abroad, field sports and angling,
and. occasionally, political, historical, and edu
cational topio-i susceptible o Iresh and lively
discussion. The serial stories published during
the year have been marked bv a piquant origi
nality. aud have met with a worm reception ;
while the general attractiveness of the Maga
zine lias gained for it cordial approval and an
increased circulation.
The co-iductors of the Magazine lio|>e not
only to maintain its reputation, but to enhance
and extend it bv constant improvement in the

"WORD IN SEASON!
Never during qur expeilenoe a* buyers aud manufacturers of clothing have wo seen the market in HO depressed a condition at it haw
bepp thju spasca. The stubboinr.oss with which Summer has lingered in the lap of Winter had a very depressing effect upon price*.
When our buyer reached New York lie did not intend to buy one dollar's worth of Clothing, but the manufactuiers accosted him and
offered him such inducements which were irresistable. They had the goods, they wanted th« money, and therefore named such low
prices as even to you will appear ridiculous. The result was that onr buyer took the advantage of the flat market and secured Men's,
J'oys' and Children'* Overcoats at 40 per cent, less than they cost to manufacture. Men's, Boys' and Children's Suits he bought at
about one-half the prices these same manufacturers asked for same goods four weeks ago. Hats and Furnishing Goods in proportion.
Being bought cheap, wo intend to sell them cheap, giving the people of Pittsburgh and vicinity the full benefit of this unprecedented
purchase. Never have we at any one tince had a» large mid desirable stock of teasonable goods in onr store as at the present time, and
it seems a great pity to cut prices so, but wo mean slash and slash it shall be. This great loss—and loss it is—falls upon the mannfac
turcrs. ai:d were it not for onr great enterprise and ability to pay spot cash for those tremendous lots of goods the people of Pittsburgh
and vicinity would not have this unheard-of opportunity of securing audi excellent Clothing for such insignificant prices. Merchants in
the country who are not "filled up" with Winter Goods will do well to come in and assort their stocks at our Ketail Prices. They 'Till
save money and get better goods than they usually handle.
