The village of Frauklin, Venango Co.,
is greatly excited over what is called a
miracle. The wife ot Rev. B. Lloyd has
been raised from her death-bed, it is
claimed, by prayer. She had been given
up by the doctors, but her husband asked
the various churches to pray for her re
covery and while he was praying with
his flock in his church the sick woman
arose, dressed herself and astonished the
congregation by walking into their midst
though she had not been out of her bed
for six mouths.

twelve per cent.
The only way which the Chicago Tri

facilities to all races, all classes,all sects.

The JYew I*ork Tribune J
"The Leading American Newspaper."
During the yenr 1882 THE TRIBUNE hopes to em
play with increasing HUCCCBH the work and the
methodH which have won for it BO large a measure
of popular approval. It has attained, and means
never to lose the high standard of success which
was aimed at by its founder the largest circulation
among the best people. So large a circulation and
one so widely distributed over the entire territory
of the Nation lias never been attained by any other
newspaper in the United Htates. We accept this
fact as the verdict of the American people upon the
conduct aud character of the TRIBUNE. The po
sition it occupies could never have been gained nor
retained butliy pre-eminent merits as a newspaper
as an organ of sound opinion and an advocate of
just public measures.
In short the TRIBUNE will as heretofore continue
to be the medium of the be-Bt thought and the voice
of the best conscience of the time; will keep abreast
of the highest progress,favor the freest discussion,
hear all sides, appeal always to the most enlighton
ed intelligence and the purest morality, and refuse
peremptorily to cater to the tastes of the vile or the
prejud.ccs of the ignorant.
The well-known special features of the TRIBUNE
will be carefully maintained. Its Agricultural De
partment will remain as it is, the fullest and best,
l'lie Household and Young Folks' Departments,the
literary, scientific and religious features, the stand
ard market reports will all be kept up and extend
ed as opportunity may serve.
