Harriet loochcr Stowe tells tha
world that Lady Byron made known
10 her The "infim, Of Lord Byron and
bic sister Lady Augusta Leigh, and
the separation ~ The consequences Of
H." IL now turns out that Lady
Byron. dnsr this separation, wrots
Augusta Leigh; "Yon have cvorbeen
my best comfortor, and will ever 70.
m@n such till you grow weary Of the
relatIop.p
The gvcat world Of Europe and
America hcie rest the slander case Of
Stowe vcrsns Byron" and the YER
dict will be the conviction of this
female hycna Of ono Of tho foulcst
moral crimes known to humanity.
This animal, tho hyena, is of tho
genus cams, known to history as a
creature "that tears open graves to
obtain its food" This female, a cross
Of the genus homo and the genus cans,
who has torn open the grave of Byron,
is ever hunting cup moral carrion
she gloats over a picture Of mentally
diseased humanity; so monstrous and
abnormal is her nature, that she will
seek tho most loathsome food, to dish
up for the mental plates OF her de-
PRAYED readers, and when she fails to
ind a case bad enough for her pen,
she will invent one. Surprising, from
the false reputation Of Byron, who
painted himself, and thus led others
TO paint him, worse than he was, that
she had good subject, she clawed up
his bones, from their resting place and
invented her horrible tale. All hu-
manity recoiIed aghast at her picture,
and though shocked TO the core, iDves-
ligated and proved her liar. As u
foul liar she stands branded before tho
eyes Of all Europe and all America,
and, as the author Of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" it was quite natural that
such should have been the result in
this especial case.--Ddy Book.

CHILD BURNED.-It becomes our
painful duty 10 record another Of those
sad accidents, which, happen as often
as they may, always fill the mind with
horror. On last Sunday, little child
Of Mr.. Abraham Weaver, residing al
Cold Stream, was burned to death,
under the following circumstances
Its mother had gono out for a short
time, leaving two small children alone
in the house, and during her absence,
the elder procured a stick, and engaged
in the, to children, delightful passtime
Of playing with fire. While thus en-
gagged the smaller child's clothing was
set on fire, and ere the mother return.
cd, the little sufferer was so badly
burned that it died the following day,
and was buried on Wednesday last.

suggestion we would make is, that
cultivators write down, while fresh in

tivalion, the number Of acres Of each
kind, the amount per acre, and the
gross amount. The milk product also,
and the amount of pork, beef, etc,

The lnsf FINANCIAL Cn,.se.

The miserable blundcrers at Wash-
ington, who are managing, or rather
mismanaging, the financial affairs of
the country, arc moving for n foreign
four per cent. loan. If there is
short road to national poverty, it is a
national debt held by foreign creditors.
If there is ever a speedy, ruinous re-
suit insured to tho debtor nation,
through its relation TO its creditor, it
is swhere that creditor is another ma
tion, thousands Of miles away. Eng
land kept her colonies on the verge Of
actual starvation, actual death, by
Systematically abstracting, in taxes
and interest, every dollar they made.
Ii was like bleeding human subject
weekly and Withholding his supply Of
aliment also. Interest paid in this
country is likely to be employed here,
ana soils the machinery of wealth
creation. The poor tax. x.payers get
little relief out Of its activity. Sent
abroad, it rarely comes back to be
used, save as a further "leech" to fas.
ten upon the wealth-producer as
"loan" to abstract more blood.
principal said old Stephen Whit
ney, one of the defnnct misers, "prin-
cipal is nothing; il is interest that
value; it is interest that is the one
grand consideration. There is moth
ing equals the power of interest" Old
Whitney knew all about il.

FIGnT WITH A BEAR-The Cham
borsburg Valley Spirit says: Mr..
Linn, residing near Concord, this Co 4,
had a very unpleasant encounter
recently. Ho saw bear near
his residence, and, procuring a rife,
shot at him. The bear fell and Mr..
Linn supposed that he had killed him.
On going up TO him, however, the
bear sprang to his feet, and, as quick
as fash Of lightning, struck Mr.
Linn sersoless to the ground. He
jumped upon the body, attacked it
savagely and bit one Of Mr.. Inns
arms severely. In tho meantime, 9th
or persons approached with dogs and
dispatched the bear. Had il not been
for this timely assistance, Mr.. Linn
would doubtless, have been torn to
pieces. As il was, he was pretty Sc
veroly injured, but is now, We are glad
to learn, improving.

The CoURr CLOSED OuT-0n Tues
day yesterday morning, John w
Geary appeared in Court, represented
by Harry Goss, who was convicted at
the September Term, for violating the
Liquor Law, and settled the case in
question, by producing a Pardon for
his violation of the law. The broad
seal Of the Commonwealth has again
been prostituted by our demagogueish
Governor. No wonder he issued a
commission to Philadelphia villain
several years ago to vote the tombstone
at Fort Miflin. He had better issue
another thanksgiving proclamation.
We will refer to this matter again.
