Heavy Corn Crops.

Judging from the almost unanimous
expression among our farming friends,
who are now engaged in gathering their
corn crops, the yield of this year exceeds
that of any former year since the settle
ment of the country. Several farmers.
within the last week, have told US that
they have gathered so bushels per acre
from their ordinary fields, and one or
two pieces of new ground are said to have
turned off from one hundred to two hun
dred and twenty bushels per acre, There
is scarcely sorry piece of corn in the
county, and if there were hogs to feed it
to, or a convenient market for the corn,
at fair price, this would be one of the
most profitable and prosperous years our
farmers have enjoyed for long while

Real HerOisnn,

The GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Gazette relates
the following case of daring on the part
of Mr.. Thomas Launder, of that place
He was aroused from his sleep in the mid
die of the night by the call of a man in the
street. When Mr. Launder awoke. the
man informed him that something was ON
fire in his store. He rushed in and found
some boxes and papers all in a flame
Immediately over which, on a shelf,
was keg of gunpowder. The keg
and the shelf containing the gunpowder
had also taken fire, and were burning
rapidly-the keg considerably charred.
Under these circumstances, Mr.. l.. de
liberately seized the keg of powder, car
ried it into the street, and got water and
put on the fre-burning his hands by
the operation. This daring act on the
part of Mr.. Launder is perhaps the only
thing that could have saved the lives of
his family, who were sleeping in another
part of the same building, as well as the
building itself and all its contents.

RailrO;iiS.

The Easton Sentinel of the 18th inst, con-
tains the following railroad item: awe learn
that the Belvidere Railroad Company, have
been purchasing the right of way along the
line, from Lambertyille to Philipsburg, oppo-
site Elston, and indeed on to Belvidere-
That at Phiiipsburg they have purchased
Rosebury's and several other properties on
the river bank, directly below the Delaware
Bridge, for depots, Offices, workshops, &c
Ii is understood that the gentlemen holding
the stock Of that company have also obtained
the control of the railroad from Easton up the
Lehigh, TO connect US with the Coal Region,
and the West Branch and Erie, and that both
the Jehigh and Belvidere Delaware Rail-
roads will be pushed ahead the coming sea-
son. We learn that the latter will be gra-
ded from Lambortville TO the head of the
Feeder at Blacks Eddy this winter, and will
probably be in use from Trenton to that point
next summer.
"The New Jersey Central Rail Road to
connect us with New York, is progressing,
but the work is so heavy on the D miles next
this place, that we cannot expect to see it in
use, all the way through, before July next"

mee.ins of The Soldiers of 1919.

In accordance with previous notice, the
Volunteers of the last war with Great
Britain, residing in Easton and vicinity
met at BELLS Hotel, in Easton on Sat
evening, November 22nd, for the purpose
of taken measures to procure an amend
ment cf the act of Congress granting Pub
lie Lands to the volunteers.
The following officers were appointed
Pa~ NungeSScr, President; join Latd-
uig Vice President and A. Miller and
iSan2u9 Moore, Secretaries.
The following resolutions were read
and unanimously adopted
Res0lced, That while we return our
thanks to those Senators and members OF
Congress who voted for the appropria-
ton of public lands to the survivors OF
the late war of 1912, at the last session
of Congress, VIC respectfully appeal to the
coming Congress, to raise the qaintity
to the same as granted to the volunteers
in the Mexican war. The low price OF
the land, the impossibility of any of us,
at our advanced ages, ever occupying it,
and the trouble and expense of procuring
the proper title-papers, renders the pres
ent Bill, SO far as pecuniary value is con-
cerned, almost entirely valueless.
ReSolred, That our brethern through
out this and other States, be requested
to petition to Congress to obtain an In
crease of the grant
ReSo5rcd. That our member of Congress,
the Hon NJ NJ. DISIMICK, be respectful
ly requested to favor our views, and urge
the propriety of this measure during the
coming session of Congress.
Rcs0lced, That Peter Nungesser, Sam
uel Moore and John Ludwig be committee
to procure the passage of resolution in
our State Legislature to urge the matter
upon our Senators and Representatives
in Congress.
ResolreR, That the proceedings Of this
meeting be published in the Easton pa
pers, and that the editors Of the Wash
inton city journals he requested to copy
them, and all other papers that are friend
IL to the old soldiers.-Adjourned.

Gov. .BoEsiaStOu.

It is understood in Harrisburg says the
Telegraph, that his excellency upon his re-
tirement from the position he has held SO
much to his own credit, and to the advantage
of the people of the State, will not return
pursuits, and perhaps in entirely different
fields from those in which he has been ed
ucated. He has already been elected the
President of the Allegheny and Kittanning
R. R. CO., road projected from Pittsburg
to Oean Point in the State of New York,
and tits believed he will accept the situation.

be fortunate if they can retain the services of

o. The Nclo York Tribune has a letter
from Washington which says understand,
this evening, that some very important des-
patches have been drawn up by Mr.. Webster
since his return to the department Of State,
declaring the policy Of this Government in
regard to the right of search, which is involv-
ed in the pretenson Of England and France
to right to interrupt our vessels on the high
seas, and visit and search them, with view
to prevent hostile expeditions from this coun-
try against Cuba. The ground assumed by
this Government, is that which was taken
when he negotiated the treaty of Washington
with Lord Ashburton. This Government has
never lost sight of the principles on which
that treaty was formed and certainly the
pres ent administration has no disposition nor
intention to abandon them. The right of
search or visit will never, as it was declared
in that negotiation, be tolerated by this coun-
try, under any pretense whatever. Mr.. Crit
tehGel, IN HIS hOtes respecting lle oTGeTS CIV
en- by the French and English governments
to their cruisers TO intercept American YES
sells, does not urge this great point. He as
sumed the ground that the orders were unne-
cessary, and would lead to difficulties between
the Governments concerned. But, as is now
declared, this Government will never permit
any foreign power, on any pretence, to search
our vessels. The flag shall be the security
of the vessel that it covers; that is the Amer
lean principle, and it must be maintained.-
Mr.. Webster will certainly be the last man
in this country to surrender that principle.

The Peoples Bank of Paterson

The Receivers appointed TO investigate the
affairs of this Bank, have closed their labors,
and viii soon make report to the Chancel-
lor. Itappears from the assets of the insti-
tuition that Mr.. Stimson, the Cashier, preri-
GUS to the explosion, provided very literally
for himself and friends, his own discounts
amounting to $55,6l2. 1t is estimated that
the assets of the Bank are worth sixty thous-
and dollars. The circulation at the time of
suspension was two hundred and twenty-sey-
en- thousand dollars. The Receivers will
probably pay about twenty cents on the dol
lar of the circulation.

The Eastport (Me) Sentinel, says there is
a woman at Campobello (near that place. who
has lain upon her bed for Sirteen years.-
She was prostrated after a child birth, be-
came paralyzed, and has never recovered
The child lived, was healthy and is now a
fine young woman. The woman is not capa-
Bile of moving any of her limbs in the slight
est manner, and cannot sit up. She can hear,
but cannot speak loud or distinct What is
very remarkable, she appears to be feshy,
has fair countenance and a good appetite,
though on account of her immobiIity, her food
is given in thin or liquid FORM She does not
change for the worse, bat remains as she has
been for many years. Her bed is made by
rolling her from one side to the other, and
she has no acute pain. Her hands remain
crossed upon her breast-her fingers are white
and smooth almost as ivory. 1t is singular
that in this inert state of her body, the pro-
cess of digestion should go on so regularly as
it does. Nothing is done for the restoration
of this woman. She is now about 30 years
old, and during her confinement has seen her
husband die 10 the same room occupied by

Remarkable Incident.

On the banks of the Wabash, the eff
fects of poor widow, who had been left
comparatively destitute at the death of
her husband, had been seized by the sher-
if for debt, and were being sold at auction
and among other things, an old family
Bible was put up for sale. She begged
the constable to spare this momento of
her parents, but he was inexorable. The
good book was about going for few
shillings, when the widow suddenly snatch
ed it, and declared she would have some
relic Of those she loved, she cut the thread
that held the brown linen covers with
the intent of retaining it; the covers fell
into her hands, and with them two fat,
dirty pieces of paper. Surprised at the
circumstance, she examined them, and
what was her Joy and delight to find that
that each called for $500 on the bank of
England. On the back of one in her
mothers's hand writing, were the follow
ing words When sorrow overtakes

are never deaf" The sale was immedi-
ately stopped, and the family Bible given
