WHEN we state that our nelghbor of

stated that he was lying when he asserted

we came of the mark The editor Of the
Courier says -
we have no personal acquaintance with
the editor of the Sunbury Democrdt, but
we doubt whether he could tell the truth if
he should try. He has seriously stated TO
his readers that the Lebanon Courier is in
favor of third tenn, which everybody
who has read the Courier knows to be just
the reverse Of the truth. Shakespeare uB-

&HecPSE.

Among the notable professional men OF
this country who have achieved extraOrdi-
nary success is DR.. II. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo,
n. Y. The prominece which he has at
tanned has been reached through stricly
legitimate means and, 50 far, therefore, he
deserves the enviable reputation which he
enjoys. This large measure of success is
.he result of through and careful prepara-
ton for his calling, and extensive reading
during long and unusually large practice,
which have enabled him to gain high COM
mediation, even from his professional breth-
ren. Devoting his attention to certain
specialties of the science he has so carefully
investigated, he has been rewarded in a
remarkable degree. In these specialties,
he has become q recognized leader. Not a
few of the remedies precribed by him have,
it is said, been addopted and precribed by
physicians in their private practice. His
pamphlets and larger works have been re-
cevcd as useful contributions 10 medical
knowledge. He has recently added an
other, and prehaps more important work
because Of more general application, to the
list of his published writings. The book,
entitled 1.-The Peoples Common Sense Med
ical Adviser" is designed to enter into
general circulation. DR.. Pierce has receiv
ed Acknowledgements and honOrs from
many sourses, and especially sientlic de-
grees from two of the first medical institu-
tion in the land.

tenton of the proprietor of the paper TO

that DO one can deny but what we
have kept pace with the growth OF our
town, and in some instances, in advance OF
it. All we ask is that Sunbury will do as
much for the paper as il is doing for The
town. There is uot better time than now

win be full of important events to all

new and great issues affecting all. 1t pro-
s,ises. also, TO be year of business revival
and an enlivenins of general industry. 1t

THE RETIRING COUNTY TREASURER.
1t affords us great pleasure when we can
say something favorable of a retiring officer
whether Democrat or Republican. When
a public servant performs his duty, and re-
tires from his position at the end OF his
term, ii is no more than justice for jour
nalist TO give the credit due him without
regard 10 party. In the retiring OF the
County Treasurer, on Monday next, John
Haag, Esq, the public loses the services OF
an honest man. Mr.. IIaag, while in Office,
has discharged his duties honestly and
with credit to himself, by which he has
won the esteem Of ali who formed his &C
quaintance by his tirmress when going
into Office. he resisted the tempting snares
of a wicked Ring" and Eow retires with
the same honors accorded 10 his predeces-
sor, Mr.. Cadwallader, without any re-
proach or stain upon his character as a
public officer. If the Democracy Of this
county were to elect all such men to office,
and break that Ring which exists in their
party there would be no complaint from the
opposition, and when they retire from pub
lie life in their declining years with a clear
conscience of having performed their duty
honestly and TO the best of their ability, a
grateful public will always honor them
with hearty wish for their future pros
peri;y. Mr.. Iiaag on retiring, on Monday
next, carries with him the well wishes of
his constituents as well as host Of friends
both old and new, with the hope that he
may live TO enjoy many happy days far
into the future. We hope too, that his
successor may prove as worthy as he, and
on his retirement will also receive the

a great Ejeetment Case decided.

The Court of Common Plears of Dauphin
County was occupied last week By the eject
ment case of John Updegrove VS.. large
Iumber of the residents of the mining town
ofWiliams.own. The following is shor.
resume Of the case
In 1853 the wife of John Updegrove con-
yeyed to William Wagner, by deed, about
fifty acres OF forest land, upon portion of
which Williamstown now stands. The
property was bequcathed to her lather-in-
law. In making the title the husband of
Mrs. Updegrove refused to sign the deed
The present ligtiation grows out OF this cir
cumstance. Mr.. Updegrove signing no
deed, now bring suit, claiming that the
title is void.
Since 1853 coal developments in this neigh
borhood have enhanced the value Of the
property. According to the testimoney of
a number of witnesses, the buildings on
the ground in contest are worth about $50,
600. Town lots parcelied from it have
been sold for $50 to $500. The whole
property, with the improvements, is esti-
mated TO be worth $4,000. The suit
was commenced in 1872, since which time
the doubtful title retartcd the growth of the
town.
The jury in the case brought in a verdict
for the defendants Saturday evening, and
there is great rejoicing now i'll the town.

BEECHER.
The Bcecker trouble will not down, be-
cause the people of Brooklyn will not let it
rest. Mr. Beecher's late appearance of
fight has not been maintained. Shearman
his attorney and chief friend, holds himself
in defiant attitude, but he cannot keep
Beecher up to the mark, The fact is, the
Rev. gentleman feels that the world is
against h!m-he feels that whether guilty
of the offence as charged or not, there has
been enough Ofimprudence and folly in his
intercourse with the feminine part of his
flock to leave more upon his name than q
clergymcn ought to have. lie knows that
the clergy generally believe him guilty, and
that he has lost standing in his profession.
Therefore, Mr.. Beecher will very soon step
down and out. Despite Shearman's bluster
and the curiOusly devoted support of his
Church, Mr.. Beecher is lost man. If
guilty, Of course it is all right, if innocent,
he is the most unfortunate man living.

Two rather important political move
ments are being inaugurated i'll tins city,
at this time. The Democratic admirers Of
Gov. Tilden are organizing to force on the
National Democratic Convention, as its
candidate tor the Presidency. on a hard
money free trade platform, whether or
no. They are putting oceans of money on
it, and are striving to have such an Organi-
zation perfected as will control the Conyen-
ton. The other is n movement among Re-
publicans for Grant, for the third term.
This later embraces great many very cX-
cellent men who are not OfiCe-hOlders, but
who really believe that the best interests of
the country demand his denomination.
They are organizing very thoroughly on
the basis of anti Catholicism, or rather the
protection of the schools from ROmish in
reference, hard money and purity in pub
lie places, and to assert that to attain these
ends the denomination Of Grant is the only
thing to be done. | was astonIshed to see
the number of men Of character in the
movement. The action of the Methsd!sts
under the lead of Bishop Haven meets very
general acceptance here. 1t is not at all
unlikely that the New York City delega
tion in the National Republican COnyen-
ton will be largely for Grant.
THE WEATHER
is horribly warm for the season, just now,
the streets are nasty. Business is feariully
dull, and altogether life is not rOse-tlntcd

they are not kept under such surveillance
as in European cities. There they are
treated as thieves, and are watched here

get to be aldermen and city officials.
Among the lot were three noted burglars,
who narrowly escaped hanging in London
a few months since. The Others are pick
pockets, sneak thieves ana operators of

some arrangement ought to be made, by
which each country should be compelled to
take care of its own crime. As it is when

lea is the refuge of ali the hunted scOun-

they can be imported
