Old Fogylsh.
William A. Packer, of Bald Eagle
township, is an advocate, of the theory
that a reaper is an expensive institution
to cut grain with. The machines, he
says, get out of order every little while,
and it requires time to repair them.
These frequent stops are losing specula
tions, whereas good cradle swingers go
right on and make a full day. For
grass mowing Mr. Packer says the reap,
er Is an improvement over the scythe,
for the reason that very few men of this
age can endure the labor.
The Herdlo Personal Transportation Com
pany. A charter has been issued from the
state department to the Herdlo personal
transportation company, with a capital
of $250,000, divided into 12,500 shares of
$20 each. The directors are Wm. D.
Kelley, sr., Horatio . Sickel, R. T.
M'Carter, jr., Thos. A. Andrews and It.
Newton Price, all Phlladelphlans. The
company Is named after the renowned
Peter Herdlo, of Wllllamsport. Mr.
Herdlo has invented and patented a
spring to be used on omnibuses, carriag
es and other conveyances, which it Is
claimed does away with all jolting of
passengers no matter how rough the
roads. The new company proposes to
run a Hne of 'buses and stages provided
with the patent springe for the transpor
tation of passengers across Phllladelphla.
It is expected that the patent springs
will become immensely popular and re
munerative. Bold Burglary.
Allentown, July 19. One of the
most daring robberies ever perpetrated
in this section of the State was enacted
at an early hour yesterday morning near
the village of Nefftvllle, this ounty, the
Victims being an aged couple who live
in that vicinity.
. The particulars are about ae follows:
Daniel Kern, the victim, is a retired
farmer and resides one mile this side of
Neffsville, in North Whitehall twp.,
about eleven miles from this elty. He
and his wife are about slxtyyears of age,
and occupy a email two-story house
located in a somewhat secluded spot by
itself. At one o'elock yesterday morn
ing the aged couple were rudely awak
ened from their slumbers by three
masked men who bad entered their bed
room on the first floor, and who inso
lently demanded that they deliver all
thelx money and valuables into their
hands. Mr. Kern and bis wife showed
resistance and refused to comply with
the request, stating that they were with
out money or anything valuable. The
ruffians then tore up a carriage blanket
and securely tied the couple. They first
tied their hands behind them, then
threw them on the bed, and fastened
their feet to the foot-board and their
heads to the bead-board of the bed. Two
of the men proceeded to ransack the
house, and were soon Joined by the
third, who had remained to seo that
their victims were Becurely tied. Every
drawer, nook and corner of the building
was thoroughly examined, and several
chaff bags were ripped open and
searched.
They even went Into the garret and
searched a pipe-hole leading Into the
chimney. At three o'clock they return
ed to the bed room of the occupants of
the house, took a new calico drees be
longing to the old lady from the wall
and tore it Into strips, and re-tled her,
she giving them more trouble than her
husband, as he was suffering severely
frbm an attack of rheumatism.
The thieves then left the house and
departed. Several hours later Mrs.
Kern succeeded In freeing herself after
great exertion. She made her way to
the nearest neighbor and gave the
alarm, and several hours after her houne
presented a scene of great excitement,
and during the entire day it was crowd
ed with people who were anxious to get
a chance at the robbers. An inventory
of the valuables stolen showed the fol
lowing t About $500 in money, School
bonds of the city of Allentown, made
payable to Wm. B. Kern, amounting to
$500 ; Lehigh county bonds, made paya
ble to Daniel Kern, to the amount of
$500 ; United States four per cent, bonds
made payable to Wm. B. Kern, to the
amount of $1,200; United Slates four
and a half per cent, bonds, amounting
to $500. The money and the bonds
were kept in bureau drawers and in a
sideboard. Payment bas been stopped
on the school and county bonds. It Is
believed that the government bonds are
registered, and that Mr. Kern will not
be deprived of their value.
Entrance was gained by placing a
ladder against the front porch and
ascending to the top, then boring a hole
with an Inch and a half auger through
the window frame, and prying out the
nail, which kept the lower half down,
with a large pocket knife, which was
left behind; The thieves then descended
to the first floor and secured their vic
tims and money as already described.

the gas, winding up by setting the house
on fire. Fortunately no particular dam
age was done. The storm was quite se

Wanted to Get Out.
A despatch from Pekin, 111., says:
" The prisoners of Tazewell county Jail
set fire to their straw beds at three
o'olock Tuesday afternoon in hope that
they would be taken from the jail and
get a chance to escape during the excite
ment. Barnes, the Jailor, having the
keys of the cells in bis pocket, and
being absent In a distant portion of the
city on official business, the inmates
had to stand a siege of smoke. On his
arrival, Hopkins, one of the Inmates,
was found nearly suffocated In his cell.
The prisoners covered their heads with
pieces of bedding and laid flat on the
floor and so saved themselves from ' suf
focation, but they were too much ex
haunted to attempt anything like an
escape when help arrived. .

was found under the tree, and It was
then learned that he had been struck by
lightning while, it Is supposed, he was

o'clock in the evening. Two holes were

nineteen years and bore a most estima
ble character.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, July 21, 1880.
Tbe speech of Secretary Bchurs delivered at
Indianapolis last night, Is chiefly commented
on here because of bis failure to enlarge on
Southern affairs. What he says of tbe Civil
Service is known by every Intelligent person
here to be true. There bas been an Improve
ment In tbe last three years. lie fails to say,
what might bo said, with tbe same truth, that
tbe reform commenced before .the present
administration came In. So far as I know, the
particular Department over which Bchurs pre
sides, was In as good condition when Chandler
left it as It Is at this time. Many people will
fall to see the force of the Secretary's special
desire that one party shall continue la power
for an Indefinite period, while he persistently
objects to more than a single Presidential
term, for one man. But on the whole tbe
speech Is an able and judlclons one, and Its
effect will bo good in a party sense.
We are told to-day that Collector Merrltt, of
New Tork, having declared that he thinks all
his subordinates should be left to vote as they
please, and that none of them shall be assessed
for campaign purposes, is to be dismissed. Of
the truth of the report, nothing Is known here
at this writing. But If President Hayes still
has full faith In Civil Service order No. 1. I
can hardly conceive of a better opportunity
for enforcing It than tbls. If these are all the
"charges" against the Collector, be is simply
supporting the letter and spirit of that order,
and ought to be sustained, If the order re mains
in force. If, however, as Is also reported,
Collector Merrltt Intends to vote for General
Hancock, the subject goes beyond the the letter
of order No. 1, and will have to be considered
outside of 11.
There have been reports of 111-feeling between
two Cabinet officers Secretary Bchurs and
Secretary Sherman, for sometime. It is now
said that tbe latter Insists on General Merrltt 's
dismissal, and the former on his retention.
There will be some trouble, after all in dis
tributing the "Old Guard Grant" medals, and
for this reason t While General Grant started
in with 804 votes and received 806 on the final
ballot, the votes which made up the 806 were
recruited and added to tbe original 804. For
Instance In Maryland, Grant, through all tbe
ballots except the last never bad less than 7
votes In the delegation, where as on the final
ballot he bad only 4, losing 3 of the so called
" Old Guard," which loss was made up else
where from Mr. Blaine's friends. Kansas on
the final ballot gave Grant votes he never
received on any previous ballot, and so did
other State which did not go to' Garfield, As
a matter of fact only about 800 Individual del
egates stood by General Grant from first to
last.
The Democratic editors who are blustering
about what the army would do In case of a
disagreement between General Hancock, and
the powers at Washington are, according to
the New Tork Ihrald, making fools of them
selves, and helping the Republicans amaz
ingly. Onvm.
