THE residence Of John Snyder, on Front street.
was accidentally set on fire on Monday night un-
der the following circumstances
Mr. Snyder had ar occasion to 20 up stairs.
He had lighted pipe in his mouth, and carried
a lamp. He returned and started down towards
the dam, and had gone but few minutes when
a light was discovered ur stairs by his daughter
who gave the alarm. Mr.. c. Woodcock and Ly-
man Hilllert succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, after the bed with all the bedding, all the
clothes in the clothes basket, and part Of the
floor has been burned. it is supposed the fire
originated IN the clothes basket from 4 spark

SESTENCED.-Thomas Gribbons, who was con-
victed Of murder in the second degree last week,
was sentenced on Monday, to eleven years anu
six months imprisonment in the Eastern Peni-
itentiary, and to pay fine of SO and costs of
prosecution.
Grbbons made speech denying his guilt, and
attempted to show the Court how the shooting
occurred TO the effect that Keating shot himself.
The evidence elected on the case was conclusive
as to the opposite. The sentence. no doubt, was
a just one. 4 few more such would have the ef-
feet of putting an end TO the violence existing IN
the coal regions rs well as in our midst.

after thorough trial by innumerable

never be forgotten. Its success In re-
moving pain, rs an external remedy, Ia
cases OF Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Sings of Insects, and other
causes Uf suffering. has secured fOf II
such host of testimony, as an infalli-
bic remedy, that it will be handed
down to p0sterity as one Of tue great
est medical discoveries of the nine
teenth century.
THE PAIN-KILLER
derives much of its popularity from the
simplicity attending Its use, which glves
IL peculiar value in family. The
various diseases which may I've reached

Resignation.

Resignation.
According to previous announcement
the members and congregations of The
First Presbyterian Church Of this place.
held n meeting in the Iron stfeet school
house, on Thursday evening last, for
the purpose of accepting or rejecting the
resignation Of their pastor, Rev. Henry
f. Mason, to be submitted to them.
After the usual services, conducted
by Revs. Mason and Walker, Of Rock
Ridge, the business meeting was organ
lied by the election of Mr.. Taylor as
Chairman, and WI stiles Us Secretary.
Mr. Mason then formally rendered his
resignation as pastor of the First Pres
bytprian Church, Of Lehigllton. The
question was raised who was justly EN-.
titled to vote upon the acceptance or re.
lection. After this had been settled, a
lengthy. discussion ensued upon the
wordingof the resignation, with respect
to the time of its taking effect. This
difficulty having been finally adjusted
by mutual consent, motion TO vote by
ballot was lost. 1t was then decided
that each voter should proceed to the
Secretary's desk and record his or her
name and vote to be used hereafter.
The voting was then proceeded with
and resu tied as follows:
For accepting ............. %
Against accepting g........... %
Majority against. st.............. l
We are informed that this,result by
no means settles the question, and that
it will be laid before the Presbytery at
an early date 1t was evident to the
most casual observer that very large
majority of those voting against Mr.. NJ.
were actual communing members
those most acquainted with all the facts
in the case; while many of those OH the
opposite side had never before evinced
any especial interest in the church.
This fact is significant, and will no
doubt have weight with the body before
which the case is to he tried. Another
fact in this connection we think ought
to be stated-On the majority side a
proxy vote was allowed, while two were
refused on the other. We hope for the
benefit of this distracted church, that
the question will soon be set at rest. II
