Stop. Young Man. Reflect.

In one of the large villages Of this
State, on the banks Of the most beautiful
Of all the rivers of the nation, some half
dozen years since, youth Just arrived
at manhood, was engaged in professional
business here. Tall and graceful in per-
son, youth and health gave vigor to his
frame, his intelligent countenance, cour-
tcous manners and large fund of informa-
ton gave evidence Of culture and educa-
ton. With becoming pride he adorned
his person with care and taste. A mem
Der of the church, strictly attentive to
all its requirements his voice was often
heard in persuasive appeals to his fellow
men and imploring heaven for their re-
demption and salvation. At that time
this man was moved by noble ambition,
his bosom hcavcd with oxultant joys, his
step had all the elasticity of buoyant
hope. The fires of genius spanked in
his eye and his tongue uttered good
words with electric effect, magnetic in
winning the admiration and estccm Of
his fellow men.
Years rolled away The 10th day Of
March, 1873, an i'll clad man entered tho
sanetum Of the Press, asked for work as
a printer, but cravcd a stimulant, stating
tina. he was recovering from Spree
His blood shot eyes, unstrung nerves
and shattered frame attestcd the depth
Of his dissipation ambition was to
satisfy bis morbid appetite, his step was
the faltering and unsteady step Of worn
outag hopeless signs hcaved his bosom
and sadness dimmcd his eye. Despair,
like hungry vulturc, had fastened on
his heart aud rendered existence an I'M
told weight of agony and woe. Though
penniless aud away from kin and friends,
all that could be done by kindness and
attention was rendered by strangers
hands, but all in vain The foul demon
of drink already had clutchcd the vitals of
its victim, and, remorselcssly hurried
him into eternity amid tempest Of de-
lirium, pursued by the phantoms and
ghouls Of disordered imagination caus-
cd by that most terrible of human ills
intcmperance.
Like bolt Of electricity from clear
sky, the story of this mans death fell
upon the writer He knew both these
men, the one in his distant village home,
the other as he died in BAL louisville.
Totally dissimilar in character, tastes,
manners and habits; yet both these men
dwclt in the same mortal body. The ono
fell in ruins when strong drink took COM
plete possession tho other died when
the foul iicnd had finished his work.
Therefore, Young man, pause Reflect!

quarrel was resumed and continued to
such an extent that he expressed de-

intimated that nothing would please her
better, and offered to do her part If the

the house, got the rifle and ammunition,
and loaded it in the presence Of his wife,
but was very careful when she was not
looking to slip the ball down his sleeve.
After the gun had been capped he hand
ed it TO her and went out into the yard,
she following as far as tho door, when
she took deliberate aim and fred. The
husband dropped in The grass, to all APP

will be divorce.

nal appearance 10 remand the spectator of
the storm which has recently swept over
them. a great many people thought that
the Ieopening of the Stock Exchange would
be the signal for n renewal Of panic, but all
such forebodings have proved false, and
the 'bulls'' and and "bears' to-day were
tranarctng business with unusual modera-
ton. On the whole the temper of the street
is one Of disappointment at the low price of
stocks, the dulness of gold, and the absence
of sales under the rule. Everybody has his
secret of the panic, and few mean to tell
them. The close shaves from suspension,
which were made close shaves and not fail
ures by the timely closing ofthe Exchange,
will be forgotten by the mass of brokers
when three days of grace allowed by the
resolution of the Governing Committee
have passed over and the inactivity in stocks
may be due to settling up of old scores
before there are any heavy obligations in
Cured by new business.
The banks and bankers are all busy, and
already the activity in deposits show the
consequence of the reopeniug Of the Stock
Exchange. The clearances of the banks
were made on time this morning, and a
visit to several of the heavy ones shows that
the currency is still coming in, and the de-
mands from the country have steadily de-
creased since Saturday. With The private
banking-houses there is rather more than
the anticipated business, and if there is
no new "nurry' in Wall street, there will
be a quiet settling down and general set-
Ting up, 50 that the suspended houses may
resume payment without heavy sacrifice
of collaterals for loans made by them or a
| loss upon their own securities.

Assets and liabilities Ofthe Firm
OfJuy Cooke ~ 40.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 26.-The state
ment of assets and liabilities OF the firm of
Jay Cooke & Co.. Of Philadelphia, New
York and Washington, has been prepared
by them to be submitted to their creditors.
The following is summary: Liabilities,
81, 939, 1922 asset bills, receivable in
bank, insurance and other stock bonds,
and real estate, $7,S67 7,64U II; loans to
Northern Pacific II. II Co., on So, ,750, 900 /;
stock of Oregon Steam Navigation Com
pany, 81, 500, 900; loans to Northern Paci-
tic Il. II. Co. on bonds of the Company, 81,
O6S, ,215,O9; second mortgage railroad
bonds, stock, &C., -, 53O, 1856 81 totel,
Sl5, ,966, ,2i2.l7.
The above exibit liabilities is exclusive
of 81, ,701, 1909, loans to form which are
fully secured by good collaterals. The ex-
cess Of colaterals upon these loans has been
estimated and included in the assets. The
firm expects soon to submit n proposition
for q settlement with its creditors, which
it believes will be acceptable to the latter,
although ii will of course require time IN
conversion of its assets. The handsome
showing made leaves no doubt fits ability
to pay every dollar of its Indebtedness witt
interest, and leave surplus of severa! mil
lions OF dollars. a gratifying feature IL
the above exhibit is the fact that although
the embarrassment of the firm has beer
accustomed by its large advances to thu
Northern Pacific and connecting roads
which it was carrying during the perioC
| of unprecedented monetary stringency, IL
resources outside of these advances ar,
amply sufficient TO secure all its creditor
| from Ultimate loss.

Previous to the election last fall, Mr..
Lemuel Shipman was seen in Sunbury daily
consulting with the members of the Ring.
On Saturday previous to the election, he
and one of the Ring officers started on a
tour through the lower end of the county,
to deceive the people by circulating that
Pat. Hester had been pardoned by the Re-
publicans. The citizens of the Mahanoy's
will, no doubt, remember meeting the party
on Sunday, as they were returning from
the house of worship, and were hailed and
Informed that Pat. Hester was set free, for
the purpose of influencing their vote on the
Tuesday following. Mr.. Shipman, has
again made Sunbury his headquarters, and
is seen almost daily on our streets consult
ing with the same party. What deception
they intend to practice upon the people this
election will soon be seen. We noticed
lately all the Ring candidates in town, ever
Mr. Dill candidate for Senator, and We
would not be at all surprised if there wal
a gigantic move on foot to get up IhI
greatest deception, to deceive the peopl,
Just previous to the election, that has eve
been practiced upon citizens of any com
munity.

Mr.. EICHoLrz in the Democrat last
week, again tries to defend his Ring
candidate, DR.. Dewitt, by denying that his
voice was weak last winter in calling for
the yeas and nays on the Salary grab ques-
tion. If DIR. Dewitt had been sincere in
his opposition to that question Of raising
his salary, he would no doubt have entered
his protest on the journal the same as
other members. Unfortunately the Doctors
name does not appear in the proceedings
at any time during the discussion of the
question. Yet it is well known that he
tried to make himself conspicuous on near
ly every question brought before the House
As soon as Mr. Eicholtz can show by the
proceedings of the Legislature, that the
Doctor did oppose the Salary grab the peo
pie will change their opinion, and we de
mand of our neighbor, that he will do hi

ings in full.

of this county are all pledged to an honest

cord of the officials now in Office is such
that will commend itself to every voter IL

conducted C in the same economical manner

Since notice is given that the whole county

being at a heavy expense in making re-

of the taxpayers to inquire as to what was
