A startling affair you may say l am to

not only vouch for the truth Of what !
write myself, but will give you the best
references in this city in addition "on

name Of Orrin Elder, went to California
in 1858, leaving a wife and two girls
Upon arriving-at California, he went. to
Shasta City, and after having mined for
a year or SO, became engaged in gam
bling, and was, some time in the fall Of
1860, killed in a drunken brawl in that
place by Q chum, one George Edicott,
since which time hi, memory and name
had almost faded out Of the remem-
brance Of his acquaintance here His
wife, deserted by her, husband, reduced
to the most squalid poverty, for three
years has made q living at the wash.tub.
Last week, IThursday,) her youngest
daughter, janet, died, and q few friends
gathered in to watch the corpse. There
were, in the party who sat up, John G.
Reeves, an engineer at a steam-mill,
Thomas Tanners, q brother of Mrs. Ell.
der, Mrs. Shawmut and Mary Williams
and myself About 10 o'clock in the
evening, the doors and windows being all
closed and shut, we were not only amazed,
but stricken dumb by the appearance Of

'ately walked to the coffin and placed up.
on it bag Of metallic substance, and as
instantly disappeared. Common sense
got the better Of us after awhile, and,
upon opening the bag, we found $57Oin
ten-dollar gold pieces, and a little scrap
Of paper with the words on it, "Restitu.
tion at last, Mary" The woman has a
certificate for the money, now, on the
First National Bank of this city. l took
the editor Of one of our city papers up
to the house, called in who had sat up,

The Friends of Temperance in many
parts of Pennsylvania are organizing tor a
vigorous campaign for the repression of the
great evil of drunkenness. 1t is very certain
that the time has arrived for movement in
favor of temperance. The free use of all in
toxicating drinks is making sad havoc with
the organization of society the safety OF
business, and the comfort of homes. God
speed and bless with success the labors of
the friends of temperance.
