After nearly two weeks dihgent search
the brutal assassin of our beloved President
has been discovered and shot down in igno-
minous fight What poor compensation IS
the life of this miserable wretch, for the life
which be took away But all that we can DO
is TO kill the body we can follow the crim-
nal no further. 1t is great pity that he suf-
fered a death that honorable soldiers suffer,
thus cheating the hangman out Of his just
demands; but il is a little concilation TO know
that he was hunted down, driven in'o barn
and shot like dog. His accompilce may re-
veal some important disclosures before he is
swung off. Ten thousand lives of such scoun-
drels would be n small compensation for
life like tha tof Abraham Lincoln's.

Wao WAS IT PA friend tells US a capital
story, as it was related to him by Mr.. George
". Hymes, of Middlebury, who was an eye
and ear witness fthe occurrence. Last Sat
urday. when the train for Blossburg was
about seven miles below Lawrenceyille, q
person by the name OF Patterson, in con-
versatioG concerning the assassination ofthe
President, remarked that che ought to have
been shot before" or words to that effect
At this lady %ho sat behind him, turned
and said: : "We arrest men for such language
down in Brooklyn, where I live = and strik-
ing him across the mouth, knocked him from
thu seat to the floor. Conductor Way, or
learning the facts stopped the train and put
the crestfallen Patterson of. The passengers
gave three cheers for the Conductor, which
will be echoed and multiplied wherever the
story is told. But who is the lady who per-
sonated Justice on that occasion? She de-
serves we'll of her country. Who sthruck

B-There IS much alarm in Europe, ,sin
consequence Of the appearance and spread of
an alarming epidemic, which IS now called
the plague. II seems to be a complication of
yirulent diseases. In some localities as many
as seventy per cent. Of the patients die. 1t
is already spreading in Prussia, Poland and
Russia St. Petersburg papers deny It's exist
ance in the Capital, but give accounts oft 81
Warsaw ana other localities. Russian vessels
are not allowed to visit London without stop
ling at Quarantine. It is well not to be al
Harmed on the subject but timely sanitary
measures should be adopted in all large
American cities and towns. There is a,theory
that the plague has particular attraction for
civil war; but if il is true of civil it is equal
" true Of other wars, for the m.asma arising
frcm dead bodies Of men and horses would be
the same. in the sare climate, whether the
war was civil or otherwise. There Is no
doubt but the pestilence is marching west
ward in Europe, 1t may cross the Atlantic.

an exchange states there is more danger at
tending the blowing out of kerosene lamps
from the top than many people suppose. SeY-
eral instances are recorded in which lives
have been lost, or severe andpermarent bod
lily injury inflicted, by the explosion oflamps
from this practice. The following explanation
of the causes producing such explosions are
well worth needing:
lst. The oil in the lamp is generally low
leaving more room for gas.
ID. The gas is very infammable, and will
always explode when ignited.
Sd. In blowing the blaze down, it is liable.
to ignite the gas.

The follouing Resolutions were unanimousl,

| The follouin9 Resolutions were unanimousl-
passed at a regular commupication of Enla
liza Lodge, held April 26.
Whereas, The President of the United
States has been cruelty assassinated, this
| Lodge of Master Masons, therefore feels it to
| be q duty which it owes to itself, TO the great
brotherhood to which it belongs, and to the
sentiments of humanity which it inculca:es,
to formally declare its de:estation of the great
crime and mingle its expressions of heartfelt
sorrow with the people throughout the na-
ton. And,
Fkersas, 4 Mason is ''taught to be peaca-
bic citizen, never TO be concerned in plots
and conspiracies against the peace and well
fare of the nation, nor TO behave himself un-
dutifully to inferior magistrates, but is to
conform to every lawful authority, TO uphold
on every occasion the interests of the COM
munity, and zealously promote the prosper
itY of his own country" Therefore,
Resolped, That in the murder of Abraham
Lincoln, President Of the United States, we
recognize a foul blow against humanity,
crime disgraceful to the age, war against the
institutions of our country, and the wicked
momentary triumph of violence against law,
order and right.
Res0lgea, That this Lodge, having no affiu-
ity with political faiths or systems, standing
as it were by the grave of the martyred
Chief Magistrate, can but deplore the loss of
Abraham Lincoln at the moment when con-
curing circumstances united to invest him
with the power to crafty his disposition of
restoring unity, peace and fraternity through
out the Republic.
Rssolusd, That the kindly, fo-giying. con-
ciliating disposition manifested by Abraham
Lincoln, endears his name and memory to
all future time, and nowhere can they be
more fttingly enshrined than within the tenn
pies of our Order, devoted as il is, to the in
culcation Of Liberty, BrotherIy Love and
Charity.
Rss0ivsd, That in token ofour appreciation
Of the personal worth and distinguished po-
sition of our late President, as well as fee
ble expression Of our deep sorrow al h:s IN.
timely death, the above resolutions be en-
tered with the Minutes Of this commgnica-
ton, the hall draped in modrriug for the
space Of six months, and that they be pub
lished in the PoTTEg Journal.

The attention of persons desiring to pnr-
chase & Hotel is called to this property.
It has for long time been considered one Of
the best paying Hotels in the northern seq
ton, it is the centre Of great amount Of
uavel, and has the advantage cfa reputation Of
being "'weIl-kept." A Company with large
Capital Stock will commence boring for Oil

success. Oil has been taken from the surface
of stream only one square from the HoteI
and those best competent TO judge seem TO
have no doubt of there being Oil, not cnly
in the County, but within the limits Of the
Borough. OF course every one can see what
an advantage this will be to all the hotels
il this County, but more decidedly to this
one, as it is by far the best in this section.
