New York Post-Office. It is a won
derful-hive of industry, where quick
brains and hands work ceaselessly day
and night. The average of tons han
dled daily in 1877 was sixty-one. This
steady growth in the mail business, not
only there but throughout the country,

on Saturday, and run a line between

ifS a reason for w&uting the run,
that a pertain oil firm had located a
wel], which be thought was on his
property. George hired a rig last
Saturday iporning and visited the
vicinity, but after making some in
quiries as to tbe location of T. Hous

was all fools day, so he "took in" the
new oil well and came home.

states that from the data at hand the

will cover that amount, and providing

real estate, every depositor will receive
his own. The assignee stated he bad

—New Castle and Lawrence countj
bare something of a sensation in tho
charges made by S. B. Marshall, late
county detective, against District At
torney Irvin, charging Irvin with at
tempting to bribe or corrupt him from
pressing suits against certain liquor
sellers, whom he had evidence against
sufficient J convict. Marshall says
Irvin offered him SSOO, and was to re
tain SSOO, if he would withdraw the
information against these sellers.
Marshall says he declined to have any
thing to do with the bribery, and that
tbeu Irvin tried to accomplish his pur
pose by scratching from the information
the name of the most material witness.
This is Marshall's story. Irvin has
not yet told bis side. The feeling
between the two men has not been
very cordial for some time, as Irvin
had the court some time since appoint
another man detective instead of
Marshall.

The appointment of a receiver for
the Painesville and Youngstown Rail
road some time since has occasioned
great speculation as to the cause, it
having been generally understood that
a controlling interest in the road was
owned by the Pittsburg k Western.
A prominent official of the latter road
was in the city on Monday, and was
interviewed by a reporter regarding
the reason for the appointment of a re
ceiver. "It is as much of a mystery
to me as to any one," said the officer
"I had supposed our company owned
the road. A corps of engineers under
the pay of the Pittsburg & Western
are now making a thorough survey of
the Painesville <te Youngstown road
preparatory to a change of gauge
There is but little question that our
road will own the narrow gauge, and
will make connection at l'ainesville
with the New York, Chicago & St.
Louis. The Pittsburg & Western
road have had sixteen corps of engin
eers at work for a year looking for
favorable routes out of Pittsburg east
and west. All the narrow gauge roads
our company have bought will be
immediately changed to the standard
gauge. We will ultiiize the Paines
ville it Youngstown Railroad as an
outlet to the lakes, and the 'Xickle
Plated' R. R. as our connecting line
with the Wabash system. We have
but two hundred miles of track to
build, for which the surveys are already
made, when our connection will be
complete from the west to the east,
and to the principal coal and oil fields
of Pennsylvania."— Pittuburyk Post.

Inquiry.
The inquiry before Capt. E. Y.
Breck, Master in Chancery, into the
details of the sale by the Sheriff of
the Pittsburgh, New Castle and Lake
Erie Railroad, was resumed in Pitts-,
burg Friday. The most important
witness was Major A. M. Brown, who
was on the stand for some time. His
testimony was in effect that he bought
the road without any arrangement of
any Iciud with any person.
W. S. Waldron, who owned two
shares of stock in the old company, tes
tified that he bad a shoit conversation
last August at Zelienople with Mr.
Gibson about the proposed sale of the
road. This was about two weeks be
fore the sale. Mr. Gibson said they in
tended to sell the® road, and that the
stockholders along the line would be
all right. He also stated that they
wanted to ge£ rid qf the New York
stockholders, or bogus stock. After
the sale Mr. A. M. Marshall made a
speech in a hall at Evansburgin which
be said the road was greatly in debt,
and gave out the impression that
more money would be needed to carry
on the work. After the sale the wit
ness received a notice, in September,
1879, to attend a meeting at Mpjor
Brown's office, tte object of which he
understood was to reorganize the coqi
While there he heard George
Chalfant say that the road was then
owned by Mr. Callery, Major Brown
and himself. This to the witness was
something of 'a knocker.' He was not
asked to subscribe for new stock.
Robert Ash, one of the plaintilTs,
who owned two shares of stock, testi
fied that he was station agent at
Evansburg in 1879. He beard the
road was to be sold, and was at the
sale. He was afraid the New York
parties would get the road, but was as
sured that he need entertain no appre
hensiveness on that ueoro.
Nfegl'ey and other directors were hold
ing a secret meeting that day. When
it was over, they had come to the
Court House, and the road was sold in
a few minutes. Some time before the
sale Mr. Gibson told hint that if the
Harmony stockholders did not look out
the road would bo hold Shortly he
fore the sale Mr. Gibson told hiru tho
road was to be sold to get rid of the
New York stockholders. 'Then,' he
said to Ash, 'your stoek and mine will
be all the more valuable.' Mr. Ash
also attended the meeting at Major
Brown's olyce. He had no recollec
tion of beinif then informed that he
could subscribe for stock, and was
not asked to subscribe. He was given
to understand, however, that he could
'get in on the ground floor.' While
he was in the office Mr. John W. Chal
fant entered, and upon seeing them
said: 'What iu the h—l ar? you me a
dging bcrtf, .Jas. Gallery, Mr. Brown,
George Chalfant and myself own this
road now and I want you fellows to
understand it.' The speakers at the
meetings held in Butler couuty said
that the stock owned in that locality
would have to be wiped out along
with the New York stock. They all
did not present any opportunity tp
subscribe for new ijtoclt, bCjt said 'the
old stockholders could get it on the
ground floor.' That was the term they
used.
John Stewart testified that Gibson
had said that he would freeze out
Negley and the New York stockolders.

Missionary Conference,
The regular meeting of the first dis
trict missionary conference, of Alleghe
ny, cl-issis of the Reformed Church,
convened in the Reformed Church,
Fairview, Pa., March2Bth, at 2 o'clock,
P. M., and closed its sessions on the
29th, at 0:30 o'clock, P. M.
The discussions throughout were
quite interesting and beneficial to all con
cerned. The members of this district
have held four meetings during the
winter and fall, and have reason to be
lieve that much good will result to the
cause of Missions. The Church of
Christ is, in its very nature and con
stitution, missionary in its character.
Such being the fact, it is evident from
her workings that too little is being
done for the cause. We are glad to
see that the ministry of the Church
are taking high ground upon the sub
ject, and are pressing it upon the laity.
Let the good work continue God will
own and bless it.
There was one feature of this late
Conference we commend very much,
viz : the fraternal feeling so prominent
on the part of the different denomina
tions. Although the Conference was
held under the auspices of the Reform
ed Church, the pastors, Revs. Me Far
laud and Decker, with many of their
membership, attended the sessions, at
testing their interest in the great cause
of Missions of the Church. God's
blessing will surely rest upon such
labor of love. T. F. S.

—Jilacki'n rl'g Magazine for March, just re
published by The Leonard Scott Publishing
Co., 41 Barclay Street, New York, is largely
devoted to reviews of books. "Martin's Horace"
is, perhaps, the most interesting of these notices,
as it gives a biographical sketch of the poet,
with so many quotations froin his writings that
it has the character of a collection of poems.
"'Lord Crawford and the House of Mar" is more
historical in its tone, and in ''the story of
Elyne of Mar and the Countess Isabel" ex
plains the cause of the abolishment of the
ancient earldom. Besides these we have de
scriptions of four new novels; one by a new
author, J. H. Shorthou.se; the others bv our
old friends Henry James, Jr., Gerard, and
Blackmore. 'The Fixed Period" has really
come to an end, and so lias the pretty little
story begun last month. "Western Wander
ings" de-cribes some pretty rough travelling
from Deming, New Mexico, to New Orleans,
and thence to St. Domingo and the other West
India islands. The traveller seems to have
been looking out for goxl positions for settlers.
There is also a short address to John Bright, in
verse, and an account of the meeting of Par
liament. The periodicals reprinted by The
Leonard Scott Publishing Co. (41 Barclay
Street, New York;, are as follows: The l.ou
don Quarterly, Edinburg, Wt*l minister, and

The first impression Sara Bernhardt
received of the American ladies roanL
fested itself thusly "Oh ] ae ladies,
za are so beautiful, such clear complex
ion I nevare Bee before,"all of which
is due to the universal use of Swayne's
Ointment for skin diseases, which in
sures a clear and clean complexion,
and a healthy color. This recalls to
mind the divine precept "cleauliness is
next to Godliness "
