Unhung Murders.
The people of the county have for some time
past almost lost s'glit of the fact that there are
two convicted and unhiiDg murdercas in the coun
ty jail, a hose sentences and execution has been de
layed and an enormous bill ot costs piled up for
the tax-payers to foot, in un in warren teed at
tempt ujon the flimsiest pretense to secure a re
trial ot their cases. Juggling with the law's pro
cesses to secure delays ami post poncments has be
come a common paretice among attorneys, even
of good repute, and it is a most pernicious one
In a great many instances it necessitates perjury
on the part of the condemned as was illustrated
in the case of (lerhardt who set up a false plea
that one of the jurors was prejudiced agaiust
him, ami when it came to an investigation, it
was not sustained, the inurdererprejurer having
to 'idniit that his accusation was false. But it
accomplished its purpise and gave his attorneys
time to hatch up some other trick to try to cheat
the gallows.
The law guarantees to every man charged
with the crime of murder a fair and impartial
trial, which both (Jerhardt and Gulick hid. If
there lathe slightest doubt of the guilty of either
of them, they should have the benefit of the
doubi. . In neither case is there an extenuating
circumstances. They are both redhauded mud
erersnd justice demands that they pay the pen
alty. As we have often stated before, . there
have been almost a hundred killiu's in this coun
ty within the past sixteen veal's and one--hanging,
and it is worthy if note that we lfve not
had a murder since the term of court at which
Gerhardt ' and Gulick -were convicted. Fonr
months in Northumberland county without a
killin' is a record breaker. It points out the
moral. When the murder element understand
that killing means hanging there will be. very
few killings. Milton Stantltml
According to the recent bulletins issued by
the Government on the manufacturers of Penn
sylvania, we learn that there are in rouDd num
bers 52,000 manufacturing and mechanical estab
lishments in our grand old Commonwealth, for
grand and great it is. Tluvss manufacturing
establishments represent an in vestment of $ 1 ,500,
000,000. The value of the products is $2,000,
o00,000 annually, and they pay out to 733,000
men and women $332,000,000 every year in
wages. The absolute increase in the value of
our products during the past decade was $500,
000.000, a larger amount than was shown by
any other State of the United States.
Mark Twain will not lo taken seriously and
the institution which confered the degreeof Doctor
of Laws upon him will not be taken seriously
either. Twain's mission in life has been to make
people laugh and the man who scatters sunshine
in the world is wortli a heap more than the long
faced individual who goes through life the im
personation of misery.

THE ENGLISH ORPINGTON.
An Eaeelleat Breed of Large, Low.
Set and Heavy Fowls, Very Top
; alar Across the Water.
The Orpington is an English bred
iowl which is gaining a fair foot
bold in this country. They are bred
to several colors with both single
and rose or double combi. So far,
the black and buff-colored Orping
tons with single combs hare been in
favor with the people of this coun
try. An Orpington club has been
formed in their interest, and we may
expect to see them gain in favor, as
they are quite desirable as table
poultry.
Having come from the union of
Minorca, a black sport from Plym
outh Kocks nnd lilnck I.nngshaa
blood, they are rather largo, low set
and heavy in body inclined to be
come fat when fully fed. They are

' ed in evervday life. It adds zest to
our work. Whistling or Hinging at
one's task makes time pass more
swiftly and less tediously. Work
cheerfully done is better done. One
puts something of one's personality
in one's work. If we have troubles
to bear, so do all others. Do not add
to the burdens of others by going
about with a gloomy face and pres
ence. Think of the cheerful things.
Do not repine at failure. What seems
such may not be so. Out of failure
one may reap riches of character,
says the Milwaukee Journal. There
is no failure so great as failure of
spirit and heart in life. If we are
sincere, if our work is real, no mis
fortune, no lack of appreciation, no
malice can ruin us. With truthful
ness and earnest endeavor in us we
can face the world with a smile on
the lip nnd gladness of heart shining
in our eyes. Then whatever comes
to us in life, let us seek the gladness
of it. There is always a bright side.
JaA us Tutike the best of all. If we
give each day all of cheerfulness that
we can, life will be full of blessings.
It is a glorious thing to carry a fund
of gladness as we go on through life.

ere rather smaller than might be
lioped for from the union of such
tilood. Formerly the shape of the
Orpin pton, as preferred in England,
was much like that of the Dorking,
ut in a recent letter from Mr. Lewis
Wright, ot England, he states that
the proper form is such as we have
illustrated in this paper, and the
Jong body like that of the Dorking
ii discouraged by English experts.
The proper type for the Orpington
is a broad and massive body on short
legs. They should have close and not
loose or fluffy plumage. They should
have a white skin and of the type
that produces Huff Plymouth Rocks.

have Orpingtons in this country they
ahould be constrained within the
bounds of good Orpington shape and
not allowed to drift along from the
ahape of a Dorking to the Cochin
hape, jut as they may come.
As stated alve, the proper Or
piegton i)i ape is shown by the illus
