pB The newspapers of this state are dis
cUssing candidates for the election next Fall,
when L Lieutenant Governor and two Judges
of the Supreme Court will be chosen. At
present, the chief interest is concerning the
nominees for judges, since the minority sys-
tenn provided for by the new Constitution
ENSURES the election of one candidate by each
party. The nominations by the Conventions
are therefore virtually elections, as each cleo
tor can vote for only one candidate Judge
PaSson, seems to be the faYorite among the
Republicans, although there is a strong
movement iu favor of Judge Butler of Ches
ter county. The Democrats have larger
number of candidates, among whom the
most prominent are Judge William Elwell of
Columbia, Judge Ludlow, and the Hon. Geo.
VI. Dallas of Philadelphia, and Judge e. L.

u. S. License Taxes.

All United State license expire on the
last day of April. The pealty imposed
by law for the failure to make return or
application for the special tax stamped
before commencing or continuing bust
ness, is fifty per cent. of the amount of
license or special tax. This is simply for
failure to make the application in time.
There are other penalties for doing bust
aess without having actually paid the tax
aud for not posting up the tax stamp con
spieously in the place of business. This
is matter of considerable importance to
many of our citizens, and they would dc
well to bear it in mind.

in the celebration is a beautiful one, and the
Quartette named is certainly, both in words

to hear the song, and as it is now in full re-

Our citizens generally will learn with re-
gret that DR.. Geo. w. Seip, one ofour most
successful Medical practitioners has about
completed his arrangements to leave here and
take up the practice Of his profession in the
city of Philadelphia The Doctor has been
resident of town and neighborhood for over
dozen years. By his skill he has built up
large practice, and by his suavity of man
ner endeared to himself many friends, and
one would think he could be content here
But his love for the intricacies Of his profes-
sion prompts him to seek a larger field for
investigation, and our knowledge Of the man
prompts the belief that he will soon be heard
Of in higher walks Of Medical and Surgical
Science than he could hope to occupy here
We learn that his plan comprises trip to
the hospitals of Europe before settling in the
city of Brotherly love. The Doctor vii

citizens.

THE storm which prevailed here on Thurs
day night and Friday morning as a whizzle,
frizzle and a perfect deluge, in other
sections ruled as a good old fashioned snow
storm. In Binghamton snow fell to the
depth of ii inches. In Scranton the lay of
the beautiful measured six inches. Through
the Beech, or from Scranton to the Tunnel
above Oakland, the ground was covered, and
the trees were literally bent down with snow.
From the tunnel down rain was the order,
varied with occasional snow fakes From re-
ports published elsewhere it will be seen that
the storm was general throughout the
country.

THE PENNSYLVANIA IRON INTEREST.

MANY ESTABLISHMENTS sUsPENDED-A
STRIKE IMPENDING-THEU UNITED SONS
VULCAN FIXING THEIR OWN TERMS.
READING, Penn, April l3.-The iron
manufacturing interest of Pennsylvania
is crippled, and over half the leading
establishments are suspended, with an
other fourth getting ready to stop work
Fifty three blast furnaces have ceased
prod the market is glutted and
orders are scarce, while the outlook for a
revival is discouraging. Prices have
failed, and the manufacture of rails, a
most important branch of the trade, has
almost entirely ceased. Notwithstanding
this gloomy condition of the trade the
puddlers and workers are preparing for u
war, and are rapidly convincing the mem
bers Of the National Union of the necessity
for demanding an advance of wages to the
rates paid previous to the panic. A few
days ago a general conference of re-
prescntatives of the United Sons of
Vulcan was held in this city, at which
the question Of a strike was discussed,
and the policy of the workers determined
by the adoption of the following:
We propose to go by market prices. If
iron sells at SO to l75 per ton, the boil
ing price shall be Sc rs, helpers to be
paid by the heat, IS cents. When pud
ding is S5 rs, no allowance to be recsiv
ed from the companies. If iron advances
So per ton, the price for boiling shall be
increased % cents. If there be u decrease
in the prices, the pudding rates shall fall
in proportion-all questions of differences
to be settled by arbitration, the wages to
be decided by the average price of iron
during each preceding month. Pay ydav
shall be the third Saturday of each month
This agreement when signed by the
officials of the Union and the Companies
is to continue in effect until August, 1875
The iron. masters have determined not to
accede to the proposition, and as the
Union has full treasury and the mem
bers who have work are bound to con
tribute to the support of those on a strike
general conflict will probably grow out
of the present plications. The trouble
has already begun by the workers EN-
ployed at several extensive furnaces and

"None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise"

March 14th, Mrs AImira Wagner, wife of Mr..
Herman Shuman Wagner, of Stroudsburg, Pa.
Mrs. Wagner was converted to our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, in revival of religion
in the Presbyterian Church, at Delaware Wa
ter Gap, under the ministry Of Rev. L. j.
Pierce After her removal to Stroudsburg, she
united with the Presbyterian Church of this
Borough, in which she was modest but faith
ful and useful member. Her sickness was pro-
tracted; but never in all those many months OF
affiiction did murmur pass her lips. One OF
her chief themes of thought and conversation
was the blessed revival which pervaded this
community during the fall and winter. She
hoped that the opening of spring would bring
health to her body, but when informed that
life was ebbing, she cheerfully said, the Lords
will be done. And with her soul pillowed
upon the bosom of Jesus, she fell asleep in the
Lord.
Thus, for the fourth time, within few
months, God has come to His people III our
Church and taken a beloved sister in Christ,
to Himself But we rejoice that their holy,
useful and joyous christian lives assure US
that they have gone to the Temple of Heaven,
to the Paradise Of God, where by Divine Grace,
we will meet them again, and with all the ran
somed surround the throne of Jesus and per-
take of the pleasures eyermore at His Right
Hand. ID.

Signalling between the earth and the
planet Venus is suggestion made in all
good faith by French astronomer, Mr.
Charles Cros, who considers the coming
transit of Venus to be good opportunity
for ascertaining whether there are in
habitants on the planet, and if so, enter.
ing into relations with them. He says
sit is possible that Venus is inhabited ;
that among its inhabitants are astrono-
mers that the latter judge the passage
of their planet across the collar disc to be
an object to excite our curiosity +; finally
it is possible that these savans will strive
in some way to make signals to US at the
precise moment when they might sup.
pose that many telescopes will be levelled
at their planet.

In Marysville, Cal, the other day, a
Newfoundland dog walked into a market,
dropped ten cent piece out of his mouth
and woked off with whole salmon. The
butcher says some folks may call that dog
intelligent, but he thinks that dog that
cant distinguish between ten cent slice
and 50 fish hasn't got even common
sense.
