HON. JOHN B. PACKER. The Harris.
burg Telegraph of Wednesday last, endorses
the denomination Of Hon. J. b. Packer, as
follows:
1.-The unanimous denomination of the
Hon. JOHN II. PACKER by the Republi-
cans Of Northumberland county yesterday
is fit and deserved tribute to an able and
popular public servant, and an act honor
able to the good sense of The county. Mr..
PACKER has made himself what he is.
And what that is may be gathered, by
those who do not enjoy the pleasure Of a
personal acquaintance with the man, from
his unbounded popularity at home, by the
high appreciation in which he is held in pub
lie duties at the Capitol, and the SPLENDID
place he has won in bis profession. This
is a good sort of Congressman to have :;
and we cannot doubt that Lebanon and
Dauphin will promptly respond to their
sister county, and tender to the faithful
representative n denomination which shall
reflect the universal appreciation of his
well-served constituents.

The Pittsburg Commercial says 1t is
now admitted by nearly everybody, except
the chronic croakers, that business generally
is on healthy basis, and that, with an in
creasing proba bility that We shall have a fair
European market for our surplus cereals,
the outlook is as promising rs could rea-
sonably be desired. The exports from
New York last week were largely in excess
of the corresponding week of last year, and
for eight months ended August 81 they are
over So, 100000 in excess of the CORES

EXECUTIVE MANSION, Sept. 10, 1874.
Hon. John G. Brolca, G0ternOr, NaShrjHe,
Tennessee.
SR-YOur dispatch Of yestcday has been
received and referred to the United States
District Attorney for the Western district
of Tennessee for report. As there is now
no official information of his proceedings
here, when his report is received ! will give
you more definite answer, or have the
Attorney General do 50. l will state, how
ever, that it is very gratifying to know that
the State authorities of Tennessee are
disposed to suppress and punish class of
lawless acts so dangerous to life and so op-
posed to every political, financial and moral
interest of the State.
But the Constitution makes it my duty
to enforce tho acts of Congress, and Con-
gress has passed laws giving the United
States jurisdiction in such cases as are re-
ferred to in your dispatch. No special or
der has been given to the Federal officials
in Tennessee further than the circular of
September of the Attorney General, which
is general in its nature, and constitutes in
structionS to all marshals and district at
tOrneys, whenever violations of said acts
may occur. will add that the State and
general governments, as you are we'll aware,
may have concurrent jurisdiction over tho
same offense, as, for example, in cases of
counterfeiting, and the action of the State
authorities in such cases does not prevent
the General Government from proceeding
against the offenders u. S. GRANT.

My DEAR SIE.-I cannot refrain from
expressing my thanks for the energetic
steps you are taking for the preservation of
peace and the apprehension and punish
ment Of the assassins who have so much
outraged humanity and discredited the
State. The promptness with which you
have acted vindicates you from any impu-
tation of acting under federal constraiut or
want of earnestness. / hope your efforts
may soon be crowned by the full vindica-
ton of the law. Very respectfully,

AN AWFUL HORROR.
The Fall River Tragedy.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 19-One OF
! those fearful calamities which shocks and
saddens community beyond the power of
expression has visited the industrial city
| of Fall River to-day. Besides n fire of
colossal proportions, involving heavy loss
of property, there is added the terrible re-
cord of twenty or more human lives among
| the sacrifices many have been manned
and injured beyond recovery, others hope
lessly crippled for life The story of the
fire and its consequences is brief and
simple one, but the event has cast mantle
of gloom and sorrow over the community
which no brief time will obliterate. Itwas
about seven O'Clock this morning when the
fire alarm bells indicated that there was n
cOnflagratiOn in the manufacturing section
of the city, and, of course, there was more
than ordinary excitement among the citi-
zens. 1t was soon learned that the large
Granite Mill, No. |, was in flames, and the
wild and painful rumors followed that
nearly all of the four hundred operatives
employed there were being literally roasted
alive. Everywhere there was the widest
terror and excitement, and it seemed as if
the whole community was paralyzed with
grief and insanity.
AT THE BURNING MILL.
1t was but n few moments before the
widest stories were circulated in the other
mill, and almost simultaneously work was
suspended, and the frenzied operatives
gathered around the fated factory. 1t was
soon enveloped in flames from one end to
the other, and its almost entire and speedy
destruction was at once foregone conclu-
sion.
The story, as told by those who were in
the room, is to the effect that the fire originat
ed from heat, occasioned by the friction of |
some machinery which was not properly
oiled. 1t caught in the fourth story, near
4 large tower, in the centre of the mammoth |
building. When first seen some of the |

WILLAMETTE BAPTIST AsSOOIA-
TION.

This Association met in Forest Grove
last week. It is composed OF twelve
churches, occupying the northern por-
tion of the State-is one of six similar
bodies occupying Oregon and Washing
ton Territory.
This meeting is its Goth annual meet
ing, 1t having been formei in 1913.
The officers elected this year are Rev.
Geo. G. Chandler, ID. d., Moderator;
Hon. w. Carey Johnson, Clerk; and
Hon. Henry Warren, Treasurer.
Among the delegates present officially
representing churches, were six women.
The report on Home Missions and
State of Religion, was written by Mrs.
Jones, wife of the Salem pastor, she
having been member of the committee
on that subject. II was very favorably
commented upon.
The statistics show that ten years age
the membership Of the Association wa:
l5s. 1t is now 476, little more than
three times as large. fru s's..
There was an improved feeling also
upon the subject of education, and much
time was spent by the members con.
sulting about how to concentrate the
energies Of the Baptists Of Oregon and
Washington Territory in the endow.
ment and support Of MeNIinDville Col
lege. The Financial Agent reported al
endowment fund in notes Of which h,
had no doubt $50, 900 would be collected
There was an advanced state Of feeling
on the temperance question, set o
strong resolutions being adopted by {
rising vote, and two hours of Sunday
being devoted to addresses on the rela
tions Of the temperance work TO religious
success.
The meeting throughout was well at
tended, the exercises instructive, inter
esting and impressive, fully proving
the Willamette Association to be com
posed OF earnest, thoughtful, practiea
workers, ready and willing TO do an,
dare in the service Of the Master.

GENERALITIES.

There were eighty-five deaths in San
Francisco during the last week.
Petty housekeeping cares and small
domestic troubles are the little foxes
that spoil so many women's lives.
In the United States there are 26
counties and 245 towns named after the
great and good Father of his Country.
According to reliable statistics, the
Woman's Movement has resulted in
permanently closing over seventeen
hundred saloons in Ohio. ---r a-
OF seven distilleries which have been
operating in the Third Ohio District,
only three were to be continued after
the first of May. So much for crusad-
ing.
The new $500 United States note is to
be embellished with vignette of Peace.
Which leads us to exclaim in the Ian
guage Of General Grant, 'Let us have
Peace"
New York spends annually $4,000, 900
on newspapers, S7,OOO,OOO on theaters,
SS,OO0,O0O for religious purposes, and
$50, 100000 for liquor and liquor estab-
lishments. ~ sl iii"
Mr.. Bancroft, the late Minister to
Berlin, has created fund of $4,000,
the interest to be expended in aiding
young Americans in pursuing their
studies at schools on the Continent.
The Chicago University opened its
doors to women at the beginning of the
present school year. Two young women
gained admission, and have maintained
a good standing in their classes thus
far.
Most Of those most given to borrowing
trouble are uncertain and aimless as to
the work Of their lives; they drift with
the current instead of setting their
prows against wind and tide to a certain
definite haven. .9 yiul r.ass1
Benjamin S. Cloves has a wheat field
short distance north of Stockton,
which is supposed to be the finest in
America. 1t contains 500 acres, and the
yield is placed by competent judges at
60 bushels to the acre.
The liquor traffic annually sends to
prison 100000 persons. More women
than formed this Republic in 1776 are
sufferers from this traffic. It sends CO.,
600 annually to drunkard's graves, leav-
ing their orphans to charity.
At the last general election, eleven
women were elected County Superin-
tendents Of schools in the State of Illi-
nois. AS far as heard from, these wonl-
en- have filled their respective offices to
the acceptance of the people.
The efforts OF the friends of Woman
Suffrage are being centered on the State
Of Miehigan-funds for the carrying on
of the political campaign being raised
and forwarded by the societies in Penn.
syivania, Missouri, and elsewhere.
If you devote your time TO study, you
will avoid all the irksomeness of thi:
life, nor will you long for the approach
of night, being tired of the day; mol
will you be a burden to yourself, mol
your society insupportable to others.
