means he turned an honest penny and kent
himself from the poor house, as he is in des~

A NEEDED Want ScPPLIED. The en-
terprise of Mr.. aeon @. KEsit has furnished
during the past week, building very greatly
needed for insuring the animal qualification
of our community The devastations Of war
extended alike to palace or cottage-the store-
house or Slaughter pen, and of the latter we
had nothing left, bnt the earth as its bounds
~ and the broad canopy above as its shelter.
To meet this essential want, we are gratified
to state that the gentleman referred to- has
erected ON. his lot on Congress street. a spa
cious, substantial and well arranged building.
adequate for all the wants desired by our
butchers. That old veteran in the business
so long and fayorably known to our people
Mr.. SAMUEL O. YoUNG, expects It's occu-
pancy for the present. which is ample guar
anty to our community that if rare Muftons
and choice Beef can be obtained, it viii be
found regularly at his stall Speaking of
this, would It not be wise in our Trustees
looking forward to future contingencies 10
erect some Suitable structure no matter how
cheap IN construction. upon the ruins Of our
old MarketShouse. adequate for the present
wants of the community. It is worth con-
sideration.

Questions For Gen. Genry.

There are two questions which the
people desire General Geary to answer
without delay, and which we shall con-
tinue to ask until we get explicit re-
plies to them.
1. Is he, or is he not, in favor of ne
gro suffrage?
,. Does he, or does he not, support
the restoration policy Of AndrewJohn-
son?
Let there beno quibblingor lodging.
Give US plain and unmistakable an
swers. If the General imagines that
he can get through the six-months
campaign before lis without meeting
fairly and squareIy these two impor-
tant questions, he will find himself as
sadly mistaken as when he retreated
before fifteen Of MOseby's men, under
the impression that theywere the body
of StonewalI Jackson's army.-Age.

Soldiers. TO the Rescue.

Unless something is done for General
Geary soon, his case is desperate. As
TO his military achievements, his fell
low-soldiers are singularly reserved.
The only military men in Pennsylva-
MIA who have said a word in his behalf,
are Major General Coils, Brigadier
General Joshua L. Owens, and Colonel
John W. Forney. Can we not hear
something from General knipe. OF
General Tyndale, or General Isaac Wis
tar, who are soldiers.-Age.

Do not want to Return.

Many of the Northern journals seem to be
under the impression that the governing
class at the South desire to return to the In
ion. This IS mistaken impression. Tile
following from the Richmond Examiner, will
show the feeling which prevails in this re-
spect:
Gin the other Northern States the Radicals
hold their own. We interpret this as show

at this time are unwilling hat the South
should participate in the Government with
out consenting to the most injurious and de-
grading terms This fact has leen for some
time perfectly well understood at the South
Its confirmation by these elections Will ho'

A LONG AND USEFUL LIFE.-A work
ING printer, named Thomas O'Flanagan,
has lust died, in Dublin, at the age of
ninety. whose career was somewhat GU
rious and interesting. He was actively
employed as compositor up to liter
ally within few hours of his death, on
the Nation newspaper, whose Irish pa
triotic'' opinions he shared. Seventy
years ago he was a journeyman printer
ON the Press, the then organ of the
&c United Irishman," and used to boast
that he had, with his own hands, set
up the manuscript of Lord Edward
Fitzgerland O'Flanagan at that time,
as a sworn brother, was one of the
armed bodyguard Of the Geraldine, and
took part in an encounter with Major
SIR and his force, in the neighborhood
of Thomas-streets, in Dublin. On
subsequent occasion he saved Major
Sirr's life, when one disaffected was
about to fire upon him from window,
by striking the pistol out of the mans
hand O'Flanagan spent subsequent
portion of his life in London, and filled
the responsible position as chief prin-
ter on the staff of the lMorma'ag Chron-
icle. in its best days. AS he had
been acquainted with Lord Edward
Fitzgerland, Nappa Tandy, Arthur
O'Conner, and Emmett during one Irish
crisis, so was he, at a later period, in
1s4s, Familiarity known to Gaven Duffy,
Thomas Davis, and John Mitchell, as
one of the Nation staff. In 1s4S he
was arrested, along with the others en-
ployed on the paper when it was seized,
on the eve of the Ballingarry eoaeute
after the suspension of the habeas cor
,axs act, but was detained in prison only
few days, there being no charge
against him or his fellow printers, of
completely in the Instruction. When,
shortly afterwards, an entertainment
was given by his colleagues to celebrate
his fftieth anniversary as a journeyman
printer, it was not supposed that he
would retain his physical and mental
powers, and be able to earn his daily
bread, as he did, for close upon twenty
years more. He was regarded with
marked affection by his employers and
daily associates, on account of his ven
cradle age, intelligence, and amiability,
and they buried him with every token
of respect.
