CAMERON.
We are indebted to the Cameron
Herald for the following items:
Attempt at Robbery.-A man went
into Morro's saloon late Tuesday night,
and taking Moro by the throat de-
manded $50; fortunately there was a
large butcher knife in reach which
Moro succeeded in getting hold of,
when the fellow let go and took to his
heels.
Fatal Accident On Monday the
18th inst, mau by the name Of John
Carr, while engaged at driving
logs on the river at the mouth Of Beals
Run, five miles above the mouth of the
creek, tell into the river in font of the
jam and was instantly crushed to death.
His remains were taken on the mail
train the same evening and conveyed to
his home at Pennington. The deceased
was man of family and about 40
years of age.
Narrow Escape of a Team.-Ou
Wednesday the 9Th inst, Mr.. Englers
team, while standing hitched at the
grist mill, in the lower end of the
borough, became frightened at a freight
train, broke loose and attempted to
cross the track in front of the engine.
The horses cleared the track, but the
engine struck the wagon between the
wheels, smashing it in pieces; and
throwing the horses on to a pile of
ties; although they we're thrown some
distance with considerable force and
one on top of the other, they escaped
with only few slight scratches and
bruises.
Fell off the Cars.-On Friday night
last, large number Of log drivers were
sent up from Williamsport on the ex.
press, many of whom we're intoxicated,
soon after the train left Siunemahoning
and while going at full speed one of
them fell off the cars. The train was
Immediately stopped and conductor
Gabrielle went back, as he supposed, to
pick up a dead man. On reaching the
spot however, he was somewhat sur
prised to fpd the man had crawled up
on to the tack, and was sitting with his
legs over the rails, aniryured, but so
drunk that he hardly know what had
happened. He was put into the bag
gage car for safer keeping, but almost
Immediately got up row, and tried to
get some one to fight with him.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ARMY.-Ac-
cording to the report of Adjutant Gen
eral Russell, the National Guard of
Pennsy lvania consists at present of 972
commissioned officers aud 1884 en-
listed men. The report says:
"During the past year one hundred
and ffty-eight companies have been or
gauized throughout the State, and the
National Guard of Pennsylvania COM
prisiug at the beginning of the year
1867, only eight companies, increased
during that and the following year to
seventy-eight, and during 1869 to one
hundred and eighty-four, now numbers
three hundred and eleven organized
company commands, thirty-one COM
pauy organizations having, Tor sundry
causes, been disbanded."
The expenses of the department for
the fiscal year ending November 80,
1870, amounted to Sl1,3S7 OIL, as fol-
lows: Adjutant Generals office, S.
63l, AS; Quartermaster General, s5,-
549, IA; unsettled claims of transpor-
tation department, &c, Sl95,S2.

pyomisrorY Notes.

The late decision OF the Supreme
Court in this State in reference IT, the
liabilities OF the maker of a promissory
note, is one to which the attention OF
every one doing business should be
specially directed. An ordinary promis-
sorry note was filed up for the payment
of one hundred dollars. After the note
was made, the payce, it is asserted, ad-
ded the words land ffty," thus making
it a promissory note for one hundred
and fifty dollars. This note was passed
into the hands of an innocent third
party, who claimed the full sum named
10 the note. On an appeal to the Su-
preme Court it was decided that the
drawer was liable, he having invited
the fraud by his own negligence. 1t is
we'll known that there is blank space
on all printed promissory notes where
the amount OF money to be paid is
written, and that at the end of this
blank space the word "dollars" is
printed. The Supreme Court declared
that it was negligence on the part of
the drawer 10 not drawing a line be-
tween the written word "hundred" and
the printed word "dollars," and that
where such negligence existed, and
there was nothing 90 the face of the
note that showed any alteration, the
drawer was liable. The Chief Justice
added that the Supreme Court deemed
such rule necessary to facilitate the
circulation of commercial paper and at
the same time increase the care of
drawers. The rule is only to apply,
however, where an alienation is not ap-
parent on the face of the paper.

The burlington Ronte," so called,
lies right in tie path of the Star of EN-
pire. 1t runs almost Immediately in the
centre of the great westward movement
of emigration. Crossing Illinois anG
Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river at
three points.
These three points are the gateways
into three great sections of the trans
Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where
the great Pacific road will take you to
the land of gold and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska,
south of the Platte river, region un-
surpassed on the continent for agricul-
ture and grazing Just here are the B.

Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur-
lington, Iowa, can give you all informa-
ton, and in the heart of them is Lin
coin, the State Capital aud present ter
minus of the road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connection With the St. Joe Road at
Hamburg, running direct to St. Joe and
Kansas City.
The trains OF the Burlington run
smoothly and safely, and make all con.
nections. 1t runs the best Of coaches

you can buy on ten years credit, and at

THE Philadelphia Press says: When
the great political battle OF 1872 comes
to be fought, the Republican party will
need more stirring campaiugn docu-
ment than its financial record. A re-
Guction of the national debt Of 1904 =
4,413 iu two years, or at the rate of
one hundred millions per dnnum, is in-
deed a glorious exhibit, but it will not
prove a strong enough weapon with
which to combat the willy Democracy.
We must have something more stirring,
more aggressive. The man of mere
dollars and cents is at best but a poor
creature, aud as it is with men so it is
with parties. Who shall first strike
the keynote to victory year hencey

THE increase in salaries OF State
Governors and other executive officers
within a few years has been quite
marked. The highest salary appears to
be paid by Louisiana to its Governor.
He receives $4,000 year, equal to
the Vice Presidents salary. California
pays 81 900 aud Nevada S6,000-the
latter State contains the smallest popu
lation 10 the Union. The following
States pay $4,000 each: Arkansas,
Kentucky, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
and Virginia Alabama, Georgia, New
York, Ohio, and Texas pay $4,000
each. Maryland pays $4,000, and

REcTpE.-The following is said to be
an excellent preventative against Ty-
phoid fever, by one who has seen it used
for years. AS this dreadful disease
seems to be somewhat prevalent through
the country at the present time, it can
do no harm to try it. The preparation
is made as follows: Six ounce Of cay
enne pepper, tablespoonful of common
salt, pint and half each of boiling
water aud vinegar; let them remain in
a close vessel for one hour, then strain
through a fine linen cloth. Take a
tablespoonful every hour or two.

Phases Of Life.

Few persons realize what life--what
sort of life--is around them. The hap
py home is but step from the descIato
fireside; cheerful hearts come daily in
contact with bleeding ones aud do not
know it. The race is too swift for close
Observation-Disclosures passes into man
hood, manhood into old age, before one
realizes that change has come. Sor-
row, too, is everywhere; yet often con-
cealed. Men have vastly more trouble
than they will avow. The tears of
manhood are not rare. When poor, we
often appear rich; when sad we often
smile. Each season of life is full of
care, and is relieved here and there only
by the kindness of divine providence.
The child lay down to rest;
His bright eye had no tear;
His glad heart felt no fear;
Nor yet by grief distrest;
One little hand still clasped his toys
His dreams were only dreams Of joy.
The man lay down TO tceep;
Since he had been child,
Stern grief and anguish wild,
Those thorns which sin does keep
Still lurking n ear each earthly flower,
Hal pierced his sUul with with'ring power.
Old age lay down to die;
Lifes joyous hours were flown,
Labor aud sorrow known.
/ heard the last faint sigh;
The child, the man, the vetran, all
We're shrouded meath the fun'ral pail.
