the wants of the sick, and when opposite
Mrs. Lydia Decker's residence, the horse

EaE y test vote in the House of Represen-
tatives recently has established the fact that
the stock iobbers, spectators and all that
class of plunderers have more influence with
Congress than have the people. The vote
decided that instead of curtailment we must
look for imitation of the currency-instead OF
specie payments, the running of gold SO high
as to be out of reach, and the running OF
greenbacks so low that the dollar of pretcn-
ded cash will not purchase half a dollar S
actual worth in the necessary articles OF life.
This is not what the people looked for They
are anxious to have dollar in greenbacks
represent dollar in gold, and they were
prepared for the ''panic," which was to
bring this about

The Chief JustscesIsfp.

The President has sent into the Senate
the name of the Hon. Morrison r. Waite,
of Toledo, Ohio, for the Chief Justiceship of
the United States. Mr. Waite is a native
of Connecticut, and is about 50 years of age
he graduated at Yale College, in the same
class with the Hon. VIM Evarts, and is
regarded as without blelnish in his private
character His Father and Grandfather
were both lawyers Of distinction in his native
State and both held judicial positions there
in His Republicanism is not questioned by
those who knew him, Notwithstanding he
WAS instrumental, during the war, in electing
a Democrat to Office by running in opposi-
ton to the irrepressable John NJ Ashley,
the regular nominee Of his party Mr.. w.
never held an office until he was appointed
one of the Counsel for the United States at
the Geneva Arbitration and is personally un-
known to the President He at present holds
the position of President of the Ohio Cnstitu
tranal Convention. As lawyer Mr. Waite
Is said to stand at the head of the bar in his
adopted State, and it is to be hoped that if
his nomination is confirmed he will not
disappoint the expectations Of the appoint
ing power by coming short of the qualifca-
tions necessary to constitute first class Chief
Justice of the United States. 1t is stated that
thoagh objections are expressed against him
he will be confirmed.

THERE is trouble throughout the Schuyl-
kill and Wyoming coal regions, between the
miners and operators, which, it is feared,
will culminate in general strike throughout
the whole Anthracite fields. The difference
is on the question of wages-the miners de-
manding an advance of ten per cent on a
new basis, while the operators are deter
mined on reduction of ten per cent on the
basis of 1873. Over one-half of the mines
are suspended, and the men are idle. 1t is
believed that the strike will become general.

THE Monroe County Teachers Institute
will convene at the Court House, in this
borough, on Monday next. The session
promises to be a very interesting one, and
every teacher as well as every person inter
ested in education should make it duty to
be present. Deputy State Superintendent
Curry, and other prominent friends of educa-
ton will address the people of Monroe Co.,
on Wednesday evening, on the subject of
Normal Schools, and as it is important that
more general knowledge of the advantages
and requirements of this class of institutions
should be had The Court House should be
well filled on that occasion. We are certainly
entitled to Normal School in this county,
and we can secure one if we work for it.

A Crown of Glory for Odd Fellowship

From the Mobile, Ala, Register.
We have been advised by prominent
member of the fraternity that during the
late epidemic in Shreveport and Memp
his, the fret to enter and the last to leave
the field of human suffering were the Odd
Fellows-not single member of this
benevolent fraternity nor his family. were
permitted to want for anything from the
day the fever broke out until it was en-
tirely at an end and like the widow $
cause of oil the bounteous providence OF
the order for their afflicted brethren ran
over-for there were several thousand
dollars returned to the relief com nittees
of the Order in various cities Of the
Union as not needed by the Lodges in the
i'll fated cities The Odd Fellows now
number near half a million of mem
bers, and they distribute to their own in
digent and distressed several millions an
nually, with an exhaustless fund to draw
from in the event of such an epidemic as
that of the two localities mentioned.
Could the people of our southern cities
find a better insurance company against
the distress which these epidemics entail
than is furnished by the Odd Fellows
with their half million of members, each
ready to respond at moments warning
to the wall of distress from any Lodge in
the land +? Such evidences Of human
benevolence are well worthy of public
note.

trouble over their new Court House. The
Architect has filed some two dozen reasons
to show that portion of the work and

building Should the matter get into Court,
as is expected, some interesting develope-
