The Muncy Lwmtnary says that considerable ex.
ctemeIt has recently prevailed in Williamsport,
owing to the fact that two of the heirs of the late
Judge Armstrong had commenced about ninety
eectment suits TO recover property in the 9Th ward
of that city, which belonged to their mother, and
was sold some years ago by their father, as it was
alleged, without their consent, The property has
pretty much all been improved, and the amount in
yolyed it was estimated would reach about 81 OOJ-
600 We learn, however, that the whole trouble
has been arranged. 1t seems that the purchase
money has not all been paid and ii has been agreed
by the heirs who instituted the suits that upon the
payment OF the purchase money, with interest, the
suits will be Withdrawn. 20.
1t is due to VIM ii. Armstrong, ESD, ono of the
heirs OF Judge Armstrong, to say thai he had moth
ing whatever to do with the matter--that he was
opposed to the proceedings, as he knew his father
had sold the property in good faith-snd that he
and his wife at once executed quit -caim deed for
all bis share in the whole of the property and de-
livsred IL to the psrtief interested

ASoTuER ACCIDENT AT MlLToN Tho -GIltopi-
an, OF the St inst, says: :-Wo are called upon TO
notice another terrible accident occasoned by crirl
nal careies,nrss in the construction Of scalfodng
Mr., David Beers AMI William Ringlcr we're en-
gagged nj painting the exterior of the new house now
being Constructed by Mr. Samuel Rhuads near the
Philadelphia 4 Eric +, H. depot The two wore
standing together upon The midIla of one Of tho
scalIold boards, which had large knot in it near
the centre The board broke under their combined
weight and prccipitated them about forty feet to
the ground, among a lot Of rubbish. Mr.. Riusler
was greatly shocked and stunned by the fail, but we
believe was not otherwise seriously Injured MIR
Beers we are sorry to say, was not SO iortuuate.-
His spinal column is injured for life, if not broken
At the present writing he is lying at his home in
Lower Milton, IN very critical condition, his lower
extremities being paralyzed, We had supposed
that the recent terrible catastrophe at the Lutheran
church would have been warning to workmen, but
it seems that some men can only be taught in the
school Of sad experience. Mr. Beers is poor uian
aud has wife and two small children dependent
upon his labor for livelihood

secret methods. Besides, it is comparatively
easy to go to Canada or even to Europe to
replenish ones wardrobe. Canadian and Eu-
rOpean prices for good article are from one
third to One-half less than is demanded at
home for an inferior article. 4 good many
people are too fertile in expedients to SIT
down listlessly to buy what, where, end how,
the law undertakes to compel them TO buy.
II all expedients fail, they will join old over
coat associations, and wear their clothes to
the last thread rather than be compelled in
a matter of trade. This attitude of the pco-
pie is not favorable either to the wooden man
ufacturers or to the wool growers Indeed
the growers are suffering greatly from the
false principles and misdeeds of the manu-.
facturers. Their interests are closely allied,
but not in the way the Dawes. Bingham tariff
supposes. That tariff has done them no good
Its repeal, and the repeal of all similar acts
would be boon to the Wooleu interest. In
deed, things have come to such pass in this
country, that general act abolishing all du,
ties, except low duties for revenue only. might
very properly be entitled ''An Act for the re-
lief of American manufacturers"

4 Cure for all KGads of Sex Headache
Take halt a drachm of aromatic spirits Of am
mOnia, IN a little water; at the same time ap-
ply cloths wet in solution of muriate of am
mOnia, Zone ounce of muriate ammonia in
nine ounces of water aud an ounce of alcho-
hOl) to the forehead,
Ausiarcl PEasIers.- By using syrup or mo-
lasses for mustard plasters. they will keep
soft and flexible, and not dry up and become
hard, as when mixed with water. 4 thin
paper or fine cloth should come between the
plaster and skin. The strength of the plas-
ter is varied by the addition of more or less
-four.
Use Of Gcrdnianr Lcages-It is not gem
orally known-that the leaves of a geranium
arc an excellent application for cuts, where
the skin is rubbed off, and other wounds OF
that kind. One or two leaves must be bruised
and applied to the part, aud the wound will
be cicatriEed in short time.
To Cure a FslOn-A correspondent says
When indications of felOn appear, take a
piece of rennet and soak it in warm.milk un-
til it becomes soft, then apply it to the part
affected, renewing it occasionally, and keeping
on until cure is produced.
To KU TdrGs.-Thc following is said to
never fail. if properly applied: make strong
steep, from red oak bark, in hot water wheu
cold, apply as convenient. the oftener the
better. In few days the wart will disap-
pear.
ISc,rS m tie Hedd.-The following oint-
ment must be used Lard two ounces sui
phuric acid, diluted, two drachms. Rub
them together and annoint the head once a
day. To restore the skin TO healthy con-
dition, proper medicine should be taken i
short time.
Stir tie SoH-If you expect to gather
good fruit, or large and fragrant flowers, keep
the soil frequently stirred; never let it get
packed down and dried.

a NEW USE FOR PAPER.-A new process
has been discovered, by which paper can, by
chemical and mechanical influences, be rem
dered as hard as hickory wood, and may be
manufactured into variety Of articles hither-
to made of wood, tin, copper and iron. The
substance produced is non conductor Of heat,
imPerviOus to the action Of acids, and not La
bic to be injured by heat or cold. 1t can bear
a heat OF three hundred Fahrenheit, without
injury: When the preparation is soft it is
shaped in mOulds, and made into water-pails,
wash-basins, pitchers, &c. When further i'm
provements arc made articles formed of paper
will come into competition with crockery and
china. The White House and the Depart
