H3- Asa Packer, u smart Connec-
ticut boy Of old fashioned Yankee
stock, left his native State when
seventeen years old, with some $40
in money aud clothing os about c.
quail value, and brought up in Sus-
quehanna county, North Pennsylva.
mia, whei he apprenticod himself to
learn the trade of carpenter and
joiner, which he followed for some
years thereafter; marrying in due
season, and buying tract of wild
land, which he proceeded to clear
and till. AT length, he pulled up
stakes and struck for Mauch Chunk
the heart of the Lohigh coal region,
whence he ran a coal boat to Phila-
dolphia, then started store, and
soon engaged extensively in buying
coal lands, building railroads, &C.,
whereby he grew rapidly and enor-
mously rich. He is now worth at
least $50, 900, 900, and we believe he
came honestly by them. Though
we do not belong to this thrifty
class, we appreciate thom as useful
men, and believe the world is bottcr
for their existencc.-[Now York

pS> A rad case of drowning oc-
CURED in this city, last Monday
night. Three young, girls named
Lizzie Biszantz, Anna Roeser, and
Lavina Buck, aged, II, 13 and 16
years-jaughters Of Philip Bis
zantz, William Roeser and William
G. Buck-wcre in n skiff, on the ca
nal, when the boat turned over, and
they were precipitatod into the wa.
ter. The cries of Mrs. Gerhard
brought Mr.. lIiszantz on the ground,
who rushed into the water aud
caught one of the girls, whom no
supposed to be his daughter, but
who proved to be Anna Roeser'
The other two girls were drowned
before assistance could reach them.
Half an hour afterwards, the bodies
were recovered that of Miss Buck
by Alex. Hill, and Llzzie Biszantz
by Harry Muncy. All efforts to re-
store them TO life were unavaIling,
and they were buried in Mound
Cemetery, Tuesday afternoon, at p
o'clock.
Anna Rooser has so far recovered
as to be able to give some account
Of the affair She says that the
skiff was half full of water; that Miss
Buck was rocking the skiff, and the
other two requested her not TO do
so, lest the boat should upset, and
that the boat did upset almost before
they were aware Of it.
1t is said that the two younger
glrls bad changed dresses, that even
ing; and thus Mr.. Blszantz was led
to suppose that he was saving his
own daughter.
Tie afflicted parents and friends
of the deceased have the sympathy
of the entire community Marietta

"We shall never lay a straw in
the way of the success Of the tenn
perancc cause, but we should like
to sec tho friends Of temperance,
everywhere, use their influence,
voice aud vote for the success OF the
Republican ticket and then demand
OF the Legislature law that will
authorize the people of every viii
lage, town, hamlet, and city to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating
drinks within their limits. In view
of the fact that the temperance men
ar5 generally found IN the Republic
can party, we submit If this is not
the wisest course to pursue. ."-[Mc-
Connelsville Herald.
The wiscst course for Prohibition
lists to pursue, is TO vote the Prohi-
bition ricket, and thereby show
their strength, and eventually force
one or tho other of the political par
tics to incorporate "Prohibitiop F"
IN their party platform.

Recent Publications.

A certain L. P. Brockett who puts NJ. D.
after his name, has written, and l.. Steb-
bins of Hartford has published thick du-
odecimo volume of some $50 pages, on Wo-
man: Her Rights Wrongs, Privileges, and Re-
probabilities. From the title page, which is a
volume in itself, we learn that the book con
tains "an account of the condition of woman
in all ages and countries, from her creation
and fall in Eden to the present time; her pres
ent legal status in England, France and the
United States; her relations to man, physi-
illogical, social, moral, and intellectual; an in
quiry into her ability to fill the enlarged sphere
of duties and privileges claimed for her, and a
definition of her true position in education,
professional life, employments and wages
also woman suffrage, its folly and inexpedi-
ency, and the injury and deterioration it
bsst means for her real advancement and ele-
walton demonstrated" -Of course, any man
who proposes to settle all this out of his own
knowledge, and within the limits of single vol
ume, writes himself down an ass at the outset;
and nobody can turn over many leaves OF Mr..
Brocketts book without finding ample cor
roborative evidence of the truth of such first
impression. 1t is even moro superficial, illog-
ical and feebly dogmatic than the generality OF
books Oh the subject; and that is certainly
saying great deal. 1t repeats the old plati-
tudes of the sentlmentalists; but for arguments
1t has none save those which Mr.. George Will
liam Curtis has characterized as the "argu-
ment ofinteriections and exclamation points"
1t is mere hasty tumble of imperfectly au-
thentcated facts, and cruie, undigested opin-
ions, carelessly thrown together in the hope
to make book that will SELL The style is
dull and pompous, and the whole has not even
the minor merit of being amusing. The book

By the terms of the treaty of the United
States with Denmark for the purchase ofSt
Thomas, It was TO be ratified by or before the
oath OF February, 1868, or its provisions would
become void.
When the treaty came before the Senate
that body omitted to take action upon it, and
the period for ratification was extended b,
Mr.. Seward, in concert with the Danish Min
lister, to the 18th of the present month.
Should the period for ratification not be ex-
tended again, of course the treaty will on that
day become as If had never been negotiated.
Wedo not know what may be the view of
this treaty taken by the Administration. 1t
may be friendly or it may be hostile, or il
may be neither. In any event we presume the
Secretary OF State will not care to take the
responsibility which now belongs exclusively
to the Senate, of rejecting this treaty, as he
Would do if he permitted the term for ratif
clifton to elapse before the meeting of Con-
gress. ......
Unless Mr.. Fish has greater taste for as
snming responsibilities which do not belong
t. him than we are disposed to impute to him
b, will be likely to keep the treaty alive I'm il
t.e Senate shall positively ratify or reject it.
1t would be pity to have this treaty fail
without debate and solemn enunciation Of
the true limits of Executive power in its ne
gotiations with forei-n States, that the latter
may know just what importance to attach to
any engagement ofour Executive, so long as
/; llcks toe Senatorial approval. The policy
oeour Government upon the subject ought
to be defined, both for our own sakes and to
prevent any future misunderstanding with
foreign sovereigns, who suppose that treaty
NEGOTIATED by our Executive and bis Minis
ter of State is conclusive, in the absence Of
fraud In Its negotiation, as it is in all other
countries.
