The contractor who is working the
quicksand out of the Gap on the I'nn
sylvania Railroad, near Lancaster, has
a hard time of it. The other day about
thirty feet of wall sank into the tunnel,
and disappeared from sight entirely.
A cmctLAit has been issued by the
Commissioner of Pensions directing that
hereafter all claims on account of ser
vice after March 4, 1801, must contain
the name of the soldier, State, regiment,
company and number of claim or pen
sion certificate.
Diphtheria in ltussla has taken the
form of a plague. Its ravages are terri
ble. In Odessa alone seventy-six per
cent, of the children have died from the
disease since last May, and elsewhere
in that district it has been equally
fatal.
Thomas J. Brady, second assistant
postmaster geiieral, is estimated to be
worth $5,500,000. He recently Invested
$30,000 in the stock of the Bell Tele
phone Company, which has advanced
from $50 a share to 5 GOO a share. He
has bought for $35,000 the late residence
of Hallett Kilbourn. There is no foun
dation for the report that he proposes to
resign his office, but why in thunder he
holds office is the wonder of all men
who are less greedy than this mil
lionaire. The Commissioners of Northumber
land county have called a meeting of all
the Assessors of that community for the
purpose of adopting some standard of
valuation to guide the Assessors in mak
ing their triennial assessment. This is
certainly a sensible arrangement, and if
adopted in this county would, perhaps,
equalize the assessment in the different
districts. As it is, there is a shameful
discrepancy in valuations. We know of
some instances where property worth
twice the value of a property in this
place is assessed at only one-third as
much as the poorer property here.
Another Swindle.
We have received an advertisement
from a New York firm calling them
selves " bankers," who desire to make
stock investments for country people, of
small sums, which they guarantee to
result in a fortune. These kinds of "ads"
are invariably swindles, and even worse
than lotteries. They call it dealing in
" Puts and Calls." We suppose ' that
means you are asked to put money in
their hands and they will soon call for
more. Our advice is don't "put" any
money in these chaps hands.
The Census.
The formation of the Supervisors' dis
tricts under the provisons of the Census
act of March 3,1870, has been completed,
except in regard to the States of Massa
chusetts and California, and approved
by Secretary Schurz. The details are of
interest for the reason among others that
the appointment of Supervisors must be
made in every instance by selecting from
the applicants resident within the boun
daries of the respective districts. These
important offices, which will practically
control the thousands of local appoint
ments necessary for the work of taking
the census, are to be filled by the 1st of
January. General Walker says that in
the formation of districts reference has
been bad solely to the exigencies of enu
meration, date, geographical features of
the States and to the existing conditions
) seftjement, occupation and intercom
munication. The following are the
Pennsylvania districts:
First district Philadelphia county.
Second district Chester, Delaware and
Lunnnster counties.
Third district llerks, Dauphin, I,eb.
anon, Northumberland and Schuylkill
counties.
Fourth district Bucks. Carbon, Lo
hlli, Montgomery and Northampton
counties.
Fifth district Columbia Lackawanna,
Luzerne, Monroe, Montour, Pike Sulli
van, Woyne and Wyoming counties.
Sixth district Bradford.Cameron Ly
coming, McKean, Potter, Susquehanna
and Tioga counties.
Seventh district Adams, Clearfield,
Clinton, Cumberland, Franklin, Fulton,
Huntington, Juniata, Mlfllln, Perry,
Snyder, Union and York counties.
Eighth district Bedford, Blair, Cam
bria, Fayette, Greene. Indiana, Somer

Ninth district Allegheny, Beaver,
Lawrence and Washington counties.
Tenth district Armstrong, Butler,
Clarion, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Forest,
Jefferson, Mercer, Venango counties.
Hesitating About a $1,000,000 Offer.
James Appleyard & Son, of Lansing,
Mich., were offered $400,000 for their
mining claim at Leadville, and refused
it. The son dug a few duys more and
Btruck ore that brought out an offer of
$1,000,000, and Mr. Appleyard, Sr., is
scudding westward to see about it.
An Old One.
Benjamin Sharrock, who has resided
not far from Gallon, Ohio, died on Sun
day at the residence of his son William,
a few North of Iberia. He settled in
that part of the Sate in 1818. His ex
act age is not known, but is variously
given at from 100 to 114. Mt, G'dead

A Nice Servant Girl.
Philadelphia, November 18. Lizzie
Livingstone, a domestic living in the
family of Edwin M. Brooks, was ar
rested this morning charged with arson
and robbery. The house in which she.
lived was discovered to be on fire this
morning, and after the flames were ex
tinguished the theory of Incendiarism
was confirmed. Lizzie was arrested and
a hundred dollors' worth of her employ
er's Bllverware was found in her posses
sion. She denies having attempted to
fire the house.
Destitute Lottery Victims.
Sioux City Journal says: Postmaster
Kirk says it is perfectly astonishing the
amount of money that is sent through
bis office to the lottery company at
Loulsvile, Ky., which advertises exten
sively through this section as the "Com
monwealth Distribution Company."
And in most cases the senders are poor
people, who can illy afford to throw
away their money in this way. Some
families, who are actually destitute of
clothing and food, will scrape together
$20 or $30 aud contribute it to the swin
dle. So fur as known not a dollar has
been received In return for the bun
died s expended for tickets.

"Well, I rather guess it's out now."

sport was a judge and two editors. Alto

tW A dispatch from Paris to the Loudon
Timet) says : " The beet crop is even Worse
than was anticipated, and the price of sug
ars has sensibly risen. Many refineries

the end of December. The quality of the
crop la inferior and the quantity deficient."

In getting forms to press. It lin been also

But otherwise It is a very foolish and wick

D. Lothrop & Co, 's Fall Books.
No publishing house In tho country Is mak
ing mure active preparations for the holiday

The Dogberry Bunch ( Royal Louric's Last
Year at bt. Olave's i and Breakfast for Two,

tion and will be early announced.
But It Is the children who have particular
reason to feel grateful to Messrs. Lothrop, who
have provided for them a list perfectly bewil
dering In Its variety and attractiveness. One
of the first bonks to tempt the eye of little
patrons is Child Lore, a beautiful bound quarto
volume With engravings and colored Illustra
tions. It contains the Babyland Classics, old
and new, with short rhymes and jingles, com
piled and edited by Clara Doty Bates, and is
good for all times and seasons of the year.

for 187,Baby's Object-Lesson Book.aud Baby'a
Portfolio.
Unusual attractions are also offered in tho
little " Libraries" and "Series." Tho (Vide
Awake Library, containing the eight volumes
of the magazine, ought to be In the possession
of every family where there are children,and no
cheaper or more titling present could be made
by parents than this. The Out of School Scries,
consisting of four volumes by popular writers,

Books the Natural History Series and Stories,
and Johnny's Discoveries, lu three volumes.
The presentation book .upon which tho
Messrs. Lothrop are bestowing particular at
tention, and which, from its peculiar charac
ter, ought to have special attraction for every
patriotic American, is Dr. 8. F. Smith's Amer
ica, which for nearly half a century has serv
ed as our national hymn. It Is brought out In
large quarto form, magnificently Illustrated
and bound, and containing, beside the hymn,
an illustrated sketch of the venerable author,
who Is still living. It would be Interesting if
we could know the various Important occasions
upon which this hymn has been sung iluce it
wag first written. During the war 11 exerted a
wonderful Influence at home and in the field
in the way of gtrengtbening patrtotlo feeling,
and It has lost none of its popularity or power
since. The volume which presents It Is artis
tic and beautiful, and it should be found In the
household of every true American.
The five handsomely printed volumes which
constitute the Idle Hour Series, and which have
put oil' their light summer clothing for tasteful
cloth covers, claim the attention of all lovers
of choice literature. They have all been warm
ly praised by the press, and lu their cheaper
form have had a large and steady sale. Their
character la not ephemeral, uor are they simply
Intended as 11 summer bonks." One can enjoy
the experiences of the "Two Girls who Tried
Farming" by a coal fire as well as In a ham
mock, or the narrative of the trio who galled
"Up and Down the Merrimac" when that fa
mous river Is frozen as well a now. " My
Daughter Susan and Prisellla Hunter" are ac
ceptable acquaintances at any time of year,
and there is no particular season to beget apart

There are two other scries which seem to re
quire special mention. The first, "History
and Biography," containing live volumes, and
"Famoug Americans," containing the lives of
Franklin, Sumner, Webster and Amos Law
rence. They are books which every boy should
should read, and will be the better for reading.

Address, D. LOTHROP A CO., Publlsherg,
83 Franklin St., Boston, Mass.
Democrats everywhere should Inform them
selves carelully alike of the action of their party
throughout the country and of the movement of
their Republican opponents. A failure to do this
In 1H76 contributed greatly to tho loss by the De
mocracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at
the polls
The year 1881 promises to be one of the most In
teresting and Important years of this crowded
and eventful century. It will witness a Preslden
tliil election which nfay result In reestablishing
the Government of this country on the principle
ot its constitutional founders, or In permanently
changing the relations of the States to the Pedera'l
power. No intelligent man can regard such, an
election with Indifference, TflE WOULD, as the
only dally Kngllsh newspaper published in the
city of New York which upholds the doctrines of .
constitutional Democracy, will steadily repre
sent the Democrat party (n this great canvass.
It will do this In no spirit of servile partisanship,
but temperately and firmly. As a newspaper
Tub Would, befng the organ of no man, no clique
and no Interest, will present the fullest and the
fairest picture It. can make of each day's passing
history In the city, the Htate. the oeiintry and tho
world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at
accuracy of all thiiiKS in all that It publishes. No
man, however humble, shall ever be permitted to
complain that he his been unjustly dealt with In
the columns of TIIK WOKL1). No Interest, how
ever powerful, shall be permitted truly to boast
that, it can silence the fair criticism of THE
WORLD.
During the past year THE WORLD has necn Its
dully circulation trebled and Its weekly circula
tion pushed far beyond that of any other weekly
newspaper in the country. This great Increase
lias been won, as THE WORLD believes.by truth
fulness, enterprise, ceaseless activity In collecting
news and unfaltering loyalty to Its readers In
dealing with the questions of the .day. It is our
hope and It will be our endeavor that THE
WORLD'S record for1R8u maybe written in the
approbation and the support of many thousands
more of new readers In ail p.irts of the Indissolu
ble Union of Indestructible States.
