No matter how obscure the position
in the life of an individual, if he can
read he may at will put himself in the
best society the world has ever seen. He
may converse with all the best writers
in prose ahd poetry. he may reside in
the desert far away from the habitation
of man; in solitude, where no human
eye looks upon him with affection and

A Chicago grand jury threw up the
sponge the other day and told the court
that it was no use finding more indict-

almost always cleared by the petit jury,
while those who were convicted were
pardoned by the Governor. The court
thereupon rebuked the grand jury, and
said they were presumptuous, but it was

there is growing ease in the money
markets of the world-in London "A

cent. This decline will soon be felt on
the Pacific coast.
We clip from the San Francisco Bule-
tin: "Ihere is very good demand for

erations of some provisions of the new
Code. which went into effect on the 1st
instant. While the last collection day
in December was generally admitted to
have been the most stringent of all the
year, there signs of returning ease at an
early day. The past year has been one
of unusual prosperity to the agriculture

Gold has advanced III New York caus
ing corresponding decline in Green
backs, which is accounted for by the
New York journal of Commerce, thus:
The exports of specie from all parts OF
the United States for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1872, amounted to
$40, ,S77 ,543, against $36. .543, SS5 in 1871,
but the foreign commerce Of the country
shows large balance against us, even
without taking into account the freight
ea,id to foreign ship owners. 1t may be
found reason for the higher premium
on gold which prevails now over year
ago. For two years we h We exported
more of the precious metals than we
have produced, and consequently our
supply of them is running down.
The stockholders OF the Seattle Coal
and Transports company, at their

It is rumored in the highest diplomat
ic circles of London, that the OBJ
ject of General Schauvalog, the special
envoy of the Gar of Russia, in his mis-
sion to London was to negotiate mat

Prince and daughter of the Russian
monarch. The report is prominent
topic of conversation in court circles,

orally conceded that the proposed mar

The only Temperance railroad in the

The Post Office,

In last weeks Farmer the editor be-
ing at loss what further TO say, after
using up his vocabulary of epithets
and contumely in hurling them at us
pitches into US as Postmaster and charg-
es us with irregularities, and says that
government detectives have been in the
neighborhood for days at time during
the past three years. We have had charge
of the Postoffice in Millersburg year
and hall, and this is the first complaint
we have heard. 1t is strange that We
have heard nothing of this, if it be
true. 1t is a proof that all was right or
we certainly should have heard of it.
II we make mistakes sometimes, it is
nothing more than every postmaster
does, and we are always glad when such
mistakes are pointed out to US in prop
er manner, so that we can avoid them
in the future. Our books are always
open for inspection by the proper au-
thorities.

Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid of a little fun at home
Don't shut up your houses lest the sun
should fade your carpet and your hearty
laugh should shake down the musty old
cobwebs there. If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left on
the threshold without, when they come
home at night. When once a home is
regarded as place only to eat, drink
and sleep in, the work is begun that
ends in reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere; if they do not find it at
their own hearthstone, it will be sought
in other and less profitable places.

A Happy Thought.

The cool evenings of the present
month remind us that winter is fast
coming upon us. How enjoy able it will
be during that bleak season to sit al
ones own fireside in the evenings sur
rounded by his family and the comforts
of home. What can add more to these
comforts than a house well furnished
with good reading matter, books, mag
azines, newspapers, &c. The evenings
are growing longer, and it is pleasant
to draw around the fireside and spend
the time in getting mental instruction.
The mind must have food, as well as the
body. There is great deal of un-
healthful mental food, just as there is
of food for the body. This should be
avoided with as much care as we do
that which would injure our bodily
health. Parents, see then that your
children are supplied with books and
papers. In addition to other periodicals
every family should have good local
paper in order that all may know what
is going on in different parts of the
as well as abroad. Such 3 pa
per is the REPUBLICAN. Every family
should have it.

Sad Death.

On Thursday afternoon the freight
train going south carried two or three
fiat cars and caboose loaded with pass
engers who had been at the Fair in Mil
lersburg. At Killbuck station the train
stopped before it got quite to the depot,
and most of the passengers got off then.
Mrs. Negley, an old lady, who was sit
ting on one of the fiat ears, raised up to
get off also, when the train started
with jerk, which threw Mrs. Negley
between the cars. Several cars passed
over her breast before the train could
be stopped. She died Immediately. The
managers Of the train are blamed by
some for being careless, but we do not
know whether justly or not. Mrs. Neg
ley was q sister of Mrs. James Moor
head of Millersburg, and was a women
highly respected and beloved in the
community. She was buried on Sab
bath morning.

If you can think Of anything that can
be done to beautify or build up your
town, 60 and do it; don't fight the lay
ing down of new sidewalk because
you have to pay your share of the ex-

ronize home industries; help your own
merchants to sell more, SO that they can
sell cheaper; always get your work
done in your town If possible; subscribe
and pay for the county papers, don't
steal or borrow the reading of them. If
you follow these suggestions, and if
your town does not improve and build
up, it will not be your fault.

Thieves Going to the Country.

We notice by our city papers thai
since the panic has seized upon some o.
the people in the country, and induced
them to withdraw their deposits from
the banks, that the thieves, like the buz-

have gone to the country like vultures
to light upon and rob those who are
likely to have their money at their
homes. We would caution our friends
in the country to be on the lookout for
them.
