Vile (Pa.l AdUeTtiseT reviews q pro-
phesy made by Republican speaker
in that place in 1872. SharpsviIle is in
the very heart of an extensive iron re-
gion, and this interest was courted for
its influence in last falls Presidential
contest. This is not the only false
psophesy made by Republican fugle-
men. Read this:
A prominent Republican speaker, in
speech delivered in this place one
evening last fall, prophssied that il
Greeley should be elected President,
the lights of our numerous iron works
and furnaces would die out and cease
to shine within eighteen months from
the time of his election. Greeley is
slumbering in his grave, but the other
part of the prophesy is fast approach
ing verifieatioD. The lights i'm the val
ley are dying out. In this place, out
of nine blast furnaces, but three are in
operation; the extensive works at
Wheatland suspended some time ago,
throwing 800 men out of employment ;
and, q few days since, several OF the
heavy iron establishments at New
Castle ceased work, leaving thou
sand of their men idle. as sresa Tsise
It would haYe been better for the
Republican party that such predictions
had never been made, as they are GER

election of Greeley was to bring about
great nationl disasters in the monetary
affairs Of onr county, who mnst shonl-

RESPONDENT of the Warren Chronicle
last week:
One VIM. Peterman, q lad of about
seventeen, amused himself for some
time at pinniBg papers to the coat
skirts of George Loveless, our town
drayman. LOveless finally grew tired
of being made sport of, and requested
that the offence might not be repeted.
Peterman thought 10 enjoy the sport
longer, when Loveless dealt him sun
dry blows about the ears with his open
palm. This did not exactly suit young
America, who sought to revenge|him-
self BY aiming 3 blow atsthe breast Of
Loyeless, with bis pocket knife Love-
less anticipating him in time 10 re-
ceive the blade IN his left arm, produe-
ing a bad flesh wound. Strange as II
may seem, Peterman was allowed his
freedom, unmolested, until Monday
morning, when he was brought before
justice Ensign, who saw fit to treat
the case thus lightly, and fined him
five dollars and costs.

THE P4NIc Nor ENDED.-The fail
ure of the house of Hoyt, Sprague 8
Ce., in New York, is announced.i The
N. Y. Eepress says of this failure
The Suspension Of the house of
Hoyt, Spraguei s. Co. is one of the
worst records of the panic. No state
meHt is out OF the amount of their
acceptances, but it is several millions !;
and $1,000, GOO of it, it is said, is held
by New York banks, bankers and pri-
vate buyers. Their paper has always
been: attractive to buyers. There is
noadoubt that the antagonism of rival
concerns in Rhode Island had much to
do with the suspension, and the pub
lication of the embarrassment of the
Spragues is accounted for in this way.
Arrangements were perfected winch
would have carried the concerns safe
ly through but for these publications"

BURGLARY.-On Monday night last
some person or persons burglariously
entered the residence of Mr.. P. P.
Garrett, situated few rods south of
the old canal bed, and ransacked the
premises from top to bottom, scat
tering furniture, clothing and other
articles about the house in wild con-
fusion. The next morning a quantity
Of bed clothing was found thrown
over fence some ten or fifteen rods
from the house, and satchel filed
with wearing apparel was found near
by. There was no one occupying the
house at the time, Mr.. g Mrs. Garrett
being on a visit to friends in Pennsyl-
yania, and they have not returned, SO
it is Impossible to ascertain what
articles are missing.

MANTUA.

Correspondence.
Another aged citizen has passed
away in the person of Maj. Luther
Stark, whose death occurred Thursday
evening Oct. Both. after an earth lite
of nearly 80 years. He was the Oldest
person residing II this township, but
not one of our old pioneers, having
spent nearlythewhole of his long life in
North eastern PennsylvaiDa, and only
few years ago making Mantua his
home. His birth place was CT, from
which state he emigrated to Pa. about
seventy years ago. We only knew
him after old age had done its work
and his mind and body were in ruins.
In his prime, aud when in the full
vigor of his manhood, he often occn-
pied prominent positions of honor
and trust among his fellow citizens
During the war of 1872 he held Maj
or's Com mission in the Militiaof his
state, was Treasurer Of the County in
which he lived for many years and
manfully sustained his part in the de-
velopement of the wilderness region
ia which he made his early home, into
one of the richest and most popular
sections of the State, He Sustained
consistent christian character for
three quarters of a century. ana for
sixty years was a member of the Ma
sonic fraternity, and in every respect
he fulfilled his life mission as be-
came a true patriot and an honest man.
In his youth he was permitted to
see George Washington, a privilege
enjoyed by but few persons now liv-
ing, He well remembered the extraor-
dinary sensations. in the community
when his death occurred. ~ 7 ~
On Wednesday Oct. %, the aemains
of Lottie, eldest daughter of Prof g.
M. Seibel, were brought to this town
from Cleveland, for interment.
Four years ago she was united in
marriage to Chas. Van Allen, and now
after brief period of happy welded
life, she is called away at the early
age of % years, to home among the
angels Her extraordinary musical
gifts were the wonder and admiration
of all who knew her, as she was one
of the most accomplished pianists at
q very early age, that the world has
ever produced. But she is not dead,
for she still lives in that beautiful
summer land, where her genius will
be appreciated as the sweet strains of
melody which her lovely spirit win
awaken, will now on eternally.

GRANGE.-Olive Branch Grange, of

second to organize in the County. In
about two weeks after, it commenced
business in preparing the hall for
work, and initiating members at every
meeting since; and yet they (new
members) are coming. On Thursday
evening last two passed through the
fourth ceremony, ,one the second, three
the first, and two applications handed
in, and one has been elected, but has
not been able to present himself yet.
With so much business, it became nec-
essary to hold regular meetings every
Thursday evening. AT the last meet
/ ing a proposition was made tochange
the. name of the Grange. After a
brief hearing, they declined to make
the change. There was, also, short
discussion ON an order received by
some Oranges, that likewise received
but little appreciation, holding that il
is not for the good of the Order, and
that the constitution is the best docu-
ment to be governed by. Members
of every Grange should be the judges
