The Coroner's Jury, empanneled to
inquire into the cause of the recent
steamboat explosion at Easton, have
rendered the following verdict:
That in their opinion the said ex-
nlosion was caused by the undue heat

supply of water therein and further,

What a Printing Office snot.

A printing Office or editorial room
is not a place for lounging, nor is it a
public reading room The exchange
papers are taken for the editors own
use, and not for that ofthe public. -
Advertising is a part of the regular
business of the publisher, and he does
not expect to do it gratis, any more
than a man builds carriages for moth
ing. And, finally, an editor is not to
be considered the universal arbiter of
all disputes, the general champion OF
all the distressed, or the handspring of
the Government. If you have bnsi-
ness with an editor, transact it with
all reasonable dispatch, and leave him
to attend to his duties, and do not an
noy him by Interruptions, by reading
his manuscript, or by carrying off his
exchanges. If you have no business
with him, stay away

easy of detection. A hopeless lassi-

smallest children are seized on their
way to school, and instantly their faces
are turned in another direction and
the fear of the rod departs from before
their eyes For days together books
are neglected. The tender mind sud-
denly becomes tough and refuses to re-
ceive or retain any impression For
time the fever of trade, which pre-

is checked. The hum Of business sub
sides statesmen address their subjects
in tone of gentle persuasion the ham

case mildly the divine revives the

the fever are not unpleasant, and all

Unusual Longevity.

The North amer. of yesterday says:
A veteran both of the Revolution and
of the War of 1912 named Michael
Coon, died yesterday morning. at his
residence near the Lamb Tavern, in the
Twenty third Ward The deceased
was in all respects remarkable man.
His age was 105 years, five months
and five days In stature he stood six
feet four inches, and was the dwarf of
his family. During the war of Revo-
LUTON he was accompanied by three
brothers, all Of whom We're for p0r-
ton Of the time, under the command of
Gen. Washington In view Of the
paucity of those revolutionary heroes
who still survive, it is probable that
unusual honers will be paid to the dead
body of this centennarian. Of par
ticipators in the important events Of
American independence, a bare rem
nanr are now living. Whether the
last days of the deceased were spent
in affluence, or comfort, or penury, is Il
fact We were unable to ascertain.

The Peach and Other Fruit.

As regular as clock work comes with
each succeeding season the cry of
blighted crops and frost bitten buds.
Why this is, of course, every one is
aware. In some instances the reports
are erroneous, ard are calculated to
do an immense amount of evil, but in
other instances they are strictly true.
The fruit crop throughout the greater
portion of New Jersey never was pre-
ceeded by better symptoms OF success
than now prevail, while the prospects
of fine crop throughout the western
portion Of Pennsylvania and the adj
joining counties of Ohio never were
fairer. The buds are fresh and green,
except possibly where they have been
very much exposed The Impressions
formed by the hue and cry of bad
prospects are in almost every case
