A Strange PreSentiment.

The Scranton (Penna.) Republican
tells the following sad story of one of the
victims OF the late Pittston disaster =
William James expired about three
O'clock on the afternoon of the Tuesday
following the catastrophe, and was the
last added to the list of those upon whom
the death angel laid his hand in that
awful havoc. He was a Welshmap. and
had been in this country about seven
months.
On the morning Of the dreadful day in
question he had taken his break fast, and
his wife had made ready his dinner and
set The pail beside him. For some time
he sat Warped in thought, his arms fold
ed, his eyes fixed vacantly upon the stove,
and deed melancholy apparently brood
ing over him. He was aroused from his
reverie by his wife telling him that his
dinner was ready, aud that he would be
late, as the bell had rung.
He started TO his feet and. GAZING unon
her Tor a moment with look full Of
tenderness and significance, said to her
" 1t l should not come back alive, would
you be in such hurry getting me out ?"
The wife answered " No." but remarked
that " if he was going at all it was time
he was gone" lie lifted his pail with
out saying word, and, after kissing his
wife, kissed his four little children who
were sitting playing on the doorstep.
When he had got about fifty yards from
his home he returned again, and kissed
his wife and children once more with
great fcrvency. His wife noticed that he
was the victim of gloomy forebodings, and
as he turned away she was about to
entreat him not to go to work if he an.
pretended any danger. But hope and
courage and the pressing necessities Of
their family overcome her intention, and
she left him 60.
She stood in the door and watched
him on his way to the fatal pit. When
1T point where he turned out of her
sight, he paused and cast a wistful look
.oward his home and little ones and see.
ng his wife, waved with his hand a last
adieu. He parted with his loved ones
forever"

DIED.

In Paradise township, on the 9th inst.
Joseph Bush, aged 62 years and l6 days.
In Stroud township, on the 10th inst
Arthur Jordan, infant son of Amos SHUTTER.
aged 4 months
In this borough, on the 26th ult. Mary
Ann, wife of John Palmer, aged II years and
months.
She leaves large Hmily to morn her de-
parted worth. The deceased was one of the
few born to receive the love of all, and the
hate and envy of none. She had gentle
greeting and open frankness which made her
friend to the poor and a mother in Israel,
and in her death she gave evidence of having
obtained that glorious victory which deep
seated Christianity is sure to gain over death
and the grave. During her illness, which was
protracted and severe, she suffered uncom-
planning; her only seeming desire was, for
more patience to bear her Masters will with
a humble resignation. Although our Mother
Is dead, she still lives i'm the hearts of those
who will always hold her memory dear. In
that land beyond the grave she is as a beacon
light to her lonely ones; guiding their frail
bark over life's tempestuous ocean, where they
can meet on the bissful shores of eternity
where sickness, and sorrow, and pain, and
death, are felt and feared no more.
She's gone, the spotless soul is gone.
Triumphant to her place of rest,
The prison walls are broken down.
The angels speed her swift remove,
With praises on their wings she flies
And gains her rest in Paradise.
Oh, may we all like her believe,
And keep the faith and win the prize.
Father prepare and then receive.
Our hallowed spirits to the skies,
10 chant with all our friends above
Thy glorious everlasting love.

unto himself a wife May a long life of

East StrOudsburg.-We paid a fy-
ing visit to this thriving village one day last
week, and find, since a resumption in coal
and railroad operations had taken place,
that the usual business activity has resumed
also. We stepped into Mr. II. NJ. Kresge 5
store, and found that gentleman, together
with his corps of assistants, all busily en-
gagged In attending to the wants of their Gus
toners. We next visited Mr. Kistler's tan
merry, but recently erected, and found every
thing moving briskly. This spacious build
lag Is complete in all its appurteDances, and
employs large force of hands. At some
future day we promise to give our readers a
more extended account of this extensive es-
tabllshment. We visited, in turn. all the
various business places, and found that the
same state OF affairs existed in all quarters.
But a few years since, the depot and two or
three dwelling houses marked the site of tb;o
now thriving village, and as we passed
through the principal thorough4ares, we felt
completely bewildered at the very rapid
change. Truly, our neighbors ''oyer the

The Pain Killer" may justly be styled the
great medicine of the world, for there is no re.
gion OF the gobe into which il has not found
its way, and been largely used and highly
priced. Moreover, there is no claim to which
it has not proved to be well adapted for the
cure of considerable variety of diseases it is
speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts.
bruises, wounGs and various other injuries. as
we'll as for dy'entery, diarrhGa and bowel COM
plants generally, it is admirably suited for
every race OF hen on the face ofthe globe.
1t isa very slgnifcent fact, that notwithstand-
ing the long period of years that the "Pain
Killer" has ben before the world, it has never
lost one whit of its popularity, but, on the
contrary the ell for it has steadily increased
from its first dicovery, and at no previous timo
has the demand for it been so great, or the
quantity made ben so large, as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the Pain Killer Wer been in higher repute, or
been more gener;lly used by families and indi-
viduals than 1T his been here at home, where
it was first disco'ered and introduced That
the Pain Killer will continue to be, what we
have styled it thegreat medicine of the world,
