EUROPEAN capitalists are sending
agents to this country for the purpose of
ascertaining the actual condition of our
railroad improvements, aud the extent of
the resources on which new roads just pro-
jectcd are based. These agents are men
of experience and ability, able to invesii-
gate the facts involved, and when they
make report, favorable or unfavorable, it
always controls the investment of foreign
capitol. Bythis system the credit of the
old as well as the new world will be pro-
tccted.

DrsrRucrrvn FIRE AT HAnRtspune.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARRISBURG.
Harrisburg was visited by disastrous
couhagration on Wednesday morning. and
the complete destruction of the State print
ing Office, one of the finest establishments
of the kind in the State, is the principal re-
suit Of it's devastating influence. The State
Journal printing office was in this building
and was destroyed with the rest of the con.
tents. The employees were in great dan
ger, and many made narrow escapes, some
jumping from the second story windows.
No one was killed or seriously burned or
otherwise injured. The loss to Mr.. Singer
ly, the State printer, is about $4,000.
The building and contents were unfortu-
nately not insured.
The direction of fire at first was toward
Chestnut street, the consequence of which
was that the grocery store and residence
of j. f. Lentz, George Swartz's residence
and John Stahli's tobacco store and resi-
dcnce were set on fire. The former was
entirely destroyed, and the latter two near
ly so. The wind changing F. X. Swartz's
stable, j. Reichart's stable, Mrs. Moor
mick's stable, house occupied by Mrs.
Rose Paul, a colorcd lady, were destroyed.
The rear of the Lechiel hotel was on fire
several times, as was also George Begner's
new brick stable in Blackberry alley.
The fire originated in the pager shaving
pile in the cellar near the elevator of the
State Journal Printing Office building, and
is supposed was caused by spontaneous
combustion, as there was no fire near the
place. The total loss is estimated at $780,

STOKES expected to be acquitted, and
after he reached his cell in the looms, be-
gan to berate the jury in the severest terms,
for failure to accept the testimony which he
insisted proved his entire innocence of all
intent to murder Fisk. The New York
Evening Post, describing Stokes in the
Toombs after sentence, says he has no
friends among the officers of that institu-
ton, and no sympathy among his fellows
in crime. The wardens of the Toombs de-
clare they will be heartily glad to get rid Of
Stokes, because he is pe;u!ent, irritating
and insulting to the last degree of patient
endurance, and they assert that when he
reaches Sing Sing, he will he very trouble
some culprit. 1t is possible, Stokes will be
tanned when he gets fairly under way in
serving out his sentence Of hard labor. AS
a general thing the effect Oft the Stokes trial,
particularly in New York city, is regarded
as unwholesome ana disagreeable.

THE Democratic editors are noticeable
for their fairness q towards the Republi-
cans. If a murder takes place, or chicken
roost or potato patch is robbed, or man
whips his wife, or wife elopes with IAN
other fellow" or anything else improper
occurs, it is all traceabc, in the eyes of
these Democratic editors, to the evil inau-
ences of Republican administration.
Ana they hammer and enlarge on this idea
as if they really expected their readers to
believe il. They must have poor opinion
of the intelligence of their readers.

Asiatic Cholera In China.
ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH
PAIN X LII T. IL!

DEAR SIRs During residence of some
ten years in Siam and China, as a mission
ary, found your Pain Killer in gill of
hot water sweetened with sugar then,
after about fifteen minutes, being to give
about tablespoonful of the same mixture
every few minutes until relief was obtained
Apply hot applications to the extremities.
Battle the stomach with the Pain. Killer,
clear, and rub the limbs briskly OF those
who had the Cholera, and took the medi-
cine faithfully, in the way states above,
eight out of ten recovered.
REV. r. TELFORD. Missionary in
China.
DEAR SIRs: During long residence in
China have used our valuable Pain. Killer,
both in my own family and among the
Chinese, aud have found it most excel
lent medicine. In the Summers of 1862
and 1868, while residing in Shanghai.
found it an almost certain cure for cholera
if used in time. Indeed, using it in a great
many instances, do not remember falling
in single case. For three years l have
been residing in this place, more than fifty
miles from physician, and have been OBJ
liSed often to fall upon my own resources
in cases of sickness. The Chinese come to
us in great numbers for medicine and ad-
vice. Though without medical know ledge
ourselves, the few simple remedies we can
command are so much in advance even of
their physicians, that we have almost daily
applications. We allow them to come, be-
cause il brings us in contact with them and
opens door of usefulness. In diarrhea,
collie, vomiting, cholera, coughs, etc., your
Pain-Kiler has been my chief medicine.
Yours, very truly.
REV. 7. p. CRAWFORD, Tungehow,
China.
Those using Pain-Killer should strictly
observe the following directions
AT the commencement of the disease,
take teaspoonful of Pain Killer, in sugar
and water, and then bathe freely across
the stomach and bowels with the Pain
Killer clear. Should the diarahea and
cramp continue. repeat the dose every fif-
teen minutes. In this way the dreadful
seourge may be checked and the patient re-
lieved in the course of a few hours.
N. B.--Be sure and get the genuine ar
ticle and it is recommended by those who
have used the Pain Killer for the cholera,
that in extreme cases the patient take two
Tor more) teasposnfuls instead of one.
The Pain Killer is sold by all the Drug
gists and Dealers In Family Medicines.
eyPrice, 25 and so cents and 81.

EVERY merchant and all the banks of
New York that have been doing legiti-
mate business, and confined themselves
within the sphere of their regular opera
tions, are unaffected by the crisis. 1t is
only those who have been wildly speculat-
ing, investing in ''fancies," and risking
their means in ''enterpriscsn far beyond
their control, who are embarrassed and in
sore trouble. When such men are helped
out of one difficulty they will rush into an
other as soon as the temptation is present

as no money is saved to the government.
Each department pays its own postage and
a sum is voted to each Congressman for

BUYING At HoME.-Somo idea of the
dullaess in large cities may be formed from
the suggestions of the newspapers of New
York and PHILADELPHIA which invite the
the people from the country to make their
retail purchases in their cities. There was
time when such invitations might have
been accepted, but our city co!emporaries
must remember that the country has been
progressing, and that retail stores have
been established where the resident popu-
lation can purchase more favorably, and
more reliably than in cities. The goods
are the same as offered by our city mer-
chants, and frequently better article can
be had Mt home at the same price from
merchants personally known. Here is
where the local customer has the advan-
tage. lie knows his merchant. He secs
him every day-meets him in reciprocal
business, and has all the protection which
such advantages bestow constantly in his
control. But in going to the cities for bar
gains the buyer is made the victim of shar-
pers, who calculate that his first appear
ancc will be his last, and treat him accord
ingly. We have q class of retail stores in
Sunbury which cannot be eXcelled any
where, and We are satisfied our fellow cti-
zcns understand the good policy of trading
Mt home

The Persecution of Jones.

We have no other authority for it than
Jones himself, anu LnereIoro vsn..vs ,~,ssh
for its truthfulness. Jones told us that he
was prosecuted nearly to death some time
ago by a sewing machine agent, who wanted
him to n axe purchase. Unable at last to
endure the persistence of the man, Jones
saws he bought diving bell, and went out
400 miles from land and descended two miles
into the ocean to spend te" days in peace.
He had hardly touched the bottom when he
saw the sewing machine .ran coming down
in the divers armor, carrying with him a
shuttle feed and sixty strong testimonials to
the merits of his button-hole attachment.
Jones informs us that he suddenly rose to the
surface and prepared to sail home; but just
as the ship anchor was being hauled over the
side, it fell and upset the cooks caboose,
scattering the live Goals in the powder maga-
zine. This caused terrific explosion, and
Mr.. Jones was blown four miles upward into
the air. This is Jones' statement, remember).
Just as he began to come down. he met the
sewing machine solicitator coming up in a
balloon, with bucketful of samples of the
lock-stitch and a model of his patent reversi-
BILE hemmer. When Jones fell he was picked
up, and he sailed straight for home. As the
vessel drew near the dock, Jones perceived
the agent standing on the wharf, waiting for
him with a ''noiseless, button-hoe attach
ment" 1--WE thought all button-holes were
necessarily noiseless; but Jones is response
ble.) Thereupon Jones hid himself in the
cabin, and instructed the captain to say to the
agent that he, Jones, had died of yellow few
er on the voyage. When the sewing-machine
man heard this, he seized the copy of a GER
tificate from clergyman's wife, and then
blew out his brains with a pistol, evidently
determined to follow Jones into the next
world, and sell him machine at all hazards.
We give this for what it is worth. We only
know that Jones was educated by his parents
10 believe that it is wicked to tell lie.
