On Wednesday last We had a call from two
"Knights of the Quill" Messrs. c. w. Gutelus,
Of the Northumberland Press, and j. J. Auten,
OF the Watsontown Record. A happier set of
editors we have not seen for some time. What
makes them happy is the result of the late cleo
iion. Mr.. Guterius, though a very unassuming
gentleman, talks Of large investments, while
Auten still clngs to his agency of selling Col
ardo grasshoppers. He lately took trip to the
cit, of ''brotherly love-" and on the route, by
his noble appearance, was taken for Col. Scott
the great railroad king, which enraged him so
m1ch that he made an attack upon the Sub
scriber" setting behind the door Of palace car,
wearing fashionable eye glasses, and armed
with bass drum and gIockentpiel for the pur-
pore of furnishing music Tor an excursion party.
While Auten made the attack the Subscriber"
informed him that he once belonged TO the Texas
Rangers, which cooled Aute1's temper, and after
mutual explanation, he passed through the
car offering Foxes of Colorado grasshoppers.
We rather guess that our neghbor Of the Press
intends entering into partnership with Auten.
and then the grasshopper trade will be lively.

in the house to his mother, who made every
effort to extricate it but could not do 1t. The
child died before medical aid could be sum
moned.
DR.. Moody made post mOrtem examination

WILLIAM JACKSON, colorea, who was tried
| convicted and sentenced to the penitrntiary
last week for breaking into the clothing Store OF
Frank Wolf and stealing a lot of clothing, it
| appears, had been fol lowing the same vocation
| in Danv!lle before he came to Suubury. Severa!
| days prior to Mr.. VOLTS store being robbed,
jackson pawned a gold watch for seven dollars,
| saying at the time that he would redeem it in II
| few days. And when arrested, officer Vandyke
not only found the stolen clothing but valua-
bic gold bracelet with him. Mr.. Vandyke made
the fact known to the Chief of Police at Harris
| burg to whom Mrs. William Biddle, of DanviIle,
| (aud from whom the watch and bracelet had
been stoIen), had made application to interest
himself in its recovery. The chief tclegIaphed
Mrs. Bl6dle to come to Sunbury and she would
recover her property, which she did on last FRI
day. She was very much elated in again hav-
ing them in her possession. She returned with "A
very good opinion of the Sunbury police.
FIRE BRICK CLAY.-A few weeks ago we re-
ferred To the discovery of fire brick clay ON the
farm of Mr.. John Fry, of Upper Augusta town
ship. The clay WAS discovered several months
ago while digging for iron ore The fire clay
vein is about eight feet in thickness underneath
two small veins OF iron The cay has been
regularly tested, and is pronounced the very best
for stove ware or brick for furnaces. The long
er il is heated the harder il becomes. The vein |
is only Hne mile from keefer's station, on the |
line of the Shamokin DIV. n. c. railroad, and is !
easy of access. If parties whJ understand the |
IL.
right to manufacture at this place. il could be |
made paying business, as any quantity of the
clay can De had and the cost of manufacture
would be far less than anywhere in the country.
The manufacture of collins in this place has
hecome matter Of more Importance than Was
expected. When the first factory was started
BY Messra. Frying, Bowen u Engle, 1t was
aH experiment. Since tEen the business has in
rapidly that they have been twice
TO enlarge their building for manuiac-
turing. Their coffin works, on Font street,
have become all enterprise Of immense
business through their great care in furnishing Il
irst-cass article. Orders received from all
parts of the country, aud the demand is greatly
N the increase. Since the abave factory wa>
tarted, Mr.. Ira L. Clement, one of the most en-
rgetic business men of this place, has enlarged
lis planning mill and sash factory building, and
lso commenced the manufacture OF collins. We
re glad to learn that he too has been very sue
esstul, aud is receiving orders TO warrant him ,
IA employing large nlmber Of hands. The
utilns manufactured at these two manufactures
re spoken of abroad as the best in the mar ktt. !
nd already have taken the lead of other manu-
,ctorng establishments in different parts of the
ountry.

| INK FERsTHAY ENGLIsH."-A candidate in
this county has related to us the following joke
| ON himself The candidate, must not omit
to mention, is unable either to talk or under
stand German. Like all Office seekers he was
anxious to hunt up the prominent men In each
township, and having learned that certain
! farmer In Lower Augusta comnan led consl Ira
| bic influence he determined at once TO hunt the
farmer up and get into his good graces. car
.iage was procured and in due time the point of
destination was reached. The farmer was
plOughiug in "A field, between which and the puo-
lie road a swamp interviewed. The candidate
tied his horse and tried to pass over the swamp
by climbing along on post fence, but ne hah
not gone "a before rail gave way ana the ONCE
seeker WAS ''snused'' in about three feet oi wa
ter. Without a single dry garment on his per-
son, the candidate was a pitahle looking object
when he reganed TERRA FIRaA.
The farmer witnessed all this but never stop
ped work Then the candidate loaded up ami
drove around about half mile through piece
of woods and struck the field on the other side
BY this time the agriculturist hld reached the
farther end OF the field and did not seem IN
hurry to return. So the candidate started over
the plnu. he'd ground, the mud adhering to his
wet garments in large quantities, weighing hi"
down until b., coulG hardly walk. Finally On"
farmer Was reached and taking scat on h-
plough he in digntcd silence gaZed at the de
office seeker and awaited the an
of his business The o. F. began TO
expatiate on his claims and fitness FIR the ohcc
sought, spoke of the high standing, intelligence
aud influence of the farmer whom he was ad-
dressing, and at the end of abont twenty min
utes asked MS rustic auditor if he had commit
ted himself to any person for the office In qneS
Iiou and if not whether the humble patriot |
speaking could hope for his influence. The far |
mcr who had been listening attentively To th" |
eloquent appeal, rose up and replied INK Ter |
SHAY English - and continued his pl"ughing. |
The ca canddate WAS not urce-sful in getting tGr /
nomination he wanted, and he says that after !
the encouragement and mishaps of that day he |

Renewed assaults upon foreigners had been

Her Losses by Sherman, Duncan

How Sine sustaIns Her Credif


CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-COmptrOller 5. 5.
HAYS sent to the City Council last night
communication and order in relation TO the
outstanding bonds and coupons Of the city,
for which deposits had been made with
Duncan, Sherman Il Co. he shows that
he deposited with that firm, June 20, to the
coupon account, $4,000 for the payment
of coupons and bonds due July 1. At the
time Of their suspension the balance un-
paid was $4,000. He adds: The amount
of outstanding coupons is within these
figures. There is a question about the
legal liability Of the city 10 pay these cOu-
pOns and bonds, but there can be no question
about the moral obligation Of the city to
provide tor them. They are held to a
great extent by small propTietOrs in remote
countries who are ignorant # our laws
and at a great distance from the place of
payment. Duncan, Sherman & Co. were
agents Of our own selection, to whom we
helped to give credit by entrusting them
with our business for long term Of years.
4 great and wealthy city like Chicago can
not avail itself of technical circumstance.
Il is enough for US to know that these
coupons aud bonds have not been paid, al
though no fault Of ours. Both a sense of
llsllCc dllu q WAol ACe4An AOt Jul
credit and reputation demand that We
should pay them without delay. 1 there
fore respectfully submit the accompanying
order, and recommend its immediate
passage, in which have the concurrence Of
the Mayor and Finance Committee:
Whereas, the city Of Chicago had de-
posted with Duncan, Sherman & Co., of
New York, the funds to pay certain
coupons and bonds Of the city falling due
July l, 1875, and previously, and at the
time of the failure Of said house July II,
1915, portion of said coupons and bonds
remained unpaid; therefore, be it
Ordered by the City Council, that the
Mayor and Comptroller be, and they are
hereby authorized and directed, to pay all
outstanding bonds and coupons Of the city
of Chicago which have matured previous
to this date.
The City Council passed the order by a
unanimous vote, and Mr.. Hays has tel
egraphed the American Exchange Bank
to pay all the coupons and bonds on pre-
sentatiOn.
