IRON THE pRgss.l
Kindness

Never did l understand the full meaning of
that word so well as recently. Having dear
and only parent very sick, just in the time OF
need kind neighbors called frequently, inquiring
chow is she?" what can / do to help 2" II
can stay to night !" "If you want any thing
let US know, will call again." sc. How COM
forting, not only to the sick, but to the children
and friends. Mr.. A., the pastor of the church
of whom she was member so long, was often
found by her bed side rehearsing the sweet, con-
soling, and precious promises of the gospel.
How comforting to the dying Christian to have
his calling, to be near at such times; well he
may be compared to the good Shepherd who
careth for his flock and feedeth them with the
sincere milk of the word. May the Lord re-
ward him for his oft repeated kindness to our
mother, as well as to many others, in time Of
need After three weeks sickness, death re-
leased her from all pain, from which she suffered
much, and let her spirit go free, - then indeed
we needed help, and we cannot soon forget how
freely it was offered by all our neighborS to help
prepare for the funeral, some to take their
horses and go several miles to invite to the
funeral; that was a sacrifice that was appre-
ciated by the family Also, Mrs. P. was
present, to prepare the habiliments for the dead
and to assist others. How necessary, as well
as gratifying, to the friends, to have one who is
so well qualified to superintend and arrange
matters, and see that all things are done well
and in order; hope she will be remembered
not only by us, but by all who have received
her much needed help in times past. Also,
cannot forget the undertaken, Mr.. S. G. S.,
ready at call to act his part, and he is well
adapted for his business courteous gentleman
ly, and kind. Experience is a great thing in
his favor, as he has been several years in the
business, and knows what is wanted on such an
occasion; the public need not fear to favor him
when they need his services. Also, there is an
other class that should not be forgotten, those
that have horses and carriages How freely
were they furnished the family to go distance
to deposit the departed one in her last resting
place. How could we do without that much
needed help at such times may there be a
large place in our hearts to ever appreciate and
acknowledge our many obligations. / am not
surprised that so many that leave this place soon
find their way back to our happy and prosperous
town We, as family, tender our sincere
thanks to all our fellow ctizeus, and hope to be
able to reciprocate on like occasions.
The kindness exhibited on the above occasion,
is almost daily manifested on similar occasions
in this place

THE TH1RrEENTH-srREET TRAGEDY Con-
trary to expectation, Mr.. Gouldy, the father, is
likely to recover from the dangerous wounds
received at the hands of his SON. Since con-
seiousness returned, it has been deemed prudent
to conceal from him the suicide of his son, as it
was feared the announcement might have dis
astrous effect. Yesterday, however, he was left
alone for few minutes and soon called for as
sistance, and was found in a state of excitement
and terror. He begged not to be left alone.
Every noise [ hear about tie door" said he,
makes me afraid that Frank is coming in to
finish his work" The physicians concluded to
inform him of his sons fate, which was accord
ingly done His condition is still critical and
any unfavorable turn would most likely prove
fatal but he has held out so well, and his stu
alton is so much more favorable than at first, it
is believed he will recover The other members
of the family are doing wel.-N Y Evening

it is the advertiser of your neighborhood and

On Friday evening last, as the up passenger
train was passing Pralsville station, on the Bel
videre Delaware Railroad, Charles Moore a
resident of Yardleyville, Pa, jumped on the sta
ton for the purpose of getting in the next car,
which, by the time it passed the station, was
under considerable motion, in fact, going so
rapidly that when Mr.. Moore attempted to get
out, he was thrown with great force from the
platform to the ground, distance of fifteen feet
injuring him very severely in the side and On the
hips. The train was stopped, and the injured
man taken on board and conveyed to Easton

Our STATE pRIsoN.-The State Prison is, we
are sorry to say, full to overlooking. There are
at present near upon 800 confined within its walls
besides some II or Is to be expected fIom Essex
during the term, and perhaps some thirty or forty
from the FIVE courts which are to hold their terms
next month. Already there are nearly two con-
victs to.each CELL whereby the chief element in
the discipline of the prison solitary confinement
is annulled. This is really serious matter
and ought to engage the attention of the Legis-
lature at an early day Whether the construc-
ton of another range of cells is advisable or
whether it would be better to offer inducements
to the more populous counties to construct jalls
and warehouses for the punishment of the lesser
crimes and misdemeanors, we will not pretend to
say but we really think that something should be
done at an early day to carry out the intention
of our penal code in more efficient manner than
can possibly be done with the limited accommo-
dation at present within the control OF the State
authorities. s. True american.
