The Dispatch reafirms that Mr.. Dana did
not steal his book in order to overthrow the
theory Of secession. But that is assertion.
Trot out your proof .sheet, and let as SEQ who
is misunderstanding appeal.
The courts In this neck Of woods don't
require the negative to be proved. Never.
sheless, ne could prove our negative moro
easily than Yeu could your affirmative.
Next time, Mr. appeal, be sure you're

Periodically their appears an article in the
'CoLUMBlhN on "our post. office" Had the
chronic taut-iinder' anything to do with the
issue of last week? Or it is an article clipped
from some of the back files Of the Coffin
BIANW 1t reads very much like some Of them
-RcpubHcdn
The fault finding with regard to the post
office in this place is chronic" truly, but it
is not confined to an individual. If the post
master were occasionally to drop in to the post
office, he would speedily ascertain that the feel
ing is almost unanimous among the better class
of citizens, that the post Office as at present
conducted is nuisance. This opinion has
been expressed time and time again, and by
persons whose utterances are entitled to respect
tul consideration. The. post master is either
too lazy or too indifferent TO do any share o.
the office work, and puts the entire business on
the shoulders Of his clerk For tins caust
mails which ought to be distributed in ffteer
minutes, require from half to three quarters O.
an hour to assort, and business men are com.
PEELED to lose valuable time in needless wait
ing MIR. Keefer, the clerk, is willing and
obliging and does his work well, but he ha.
In addition TO do the work of his chief These
are facts which are not TO be denied Another
Objectionable feature is the federation of crowd.
of boys, who do not get mail, but who by crowd
ing into the small and uncomfortable room ren.
der those in waiting, miserable.
If the postmaster made less frequent visits tc
Harrisburg and Washington on political errandc
and devoted less time TO the manipulation Of
party affairs at home, the people would be bet.
ter served, and he would be about as far ahead
at the end of the ear as he is under the pres.
ent system.
We state distinctly that if the post master
would assist in the distribution of mails, and
keep his inconyenient Office free from crowds Of
children, he would greatly oblige the public and
the post Office would cease to be what it is
now, most decdedly-a nuisance

OBITUARY.


delth has not occurred in Pennsylvania
that will strike upon the public mind with
more sudden and powerful shock than that
of the distinguished gentleman whose name
heads this article. 1t was only yesterday or
day before that a letter was mailed to him
from this city, written by one of the officers
on the hill, and conveying detailed informa-
ton for which he asked and which necessa-
rily contemplated period for his life pro-
longed at least for five or ten years, and
scarcely does that letter arrive at its destina-
tion, when the telegraph flashes back to the
world conclusion for him of all earthly
things.
We at Harrisburg know only of Mr. Scots
public life. In 1856 he came here as canal
commissioner on one of the last boards OF
that commission that existed This position
he filled with honor to himself and credit to
the State, nor was there ever heard whis-
per of suspicion as to his integrity. For
several periods thereafter Mr. Scott appeared
in the Legislature and always with credit to
himself and his constituents. At the time
of his death he was Associate Judge in his
district. He was president of the Pennsyl-
vania Agricultural Society and prominent
member of the Centennial Commission for
his State; all these positions called for &C.
tvity-nor did there seem to be a more ac-
tive man of his age (about sixty to be found
anywhere, when few weeks ago the writer
of this notice saw him and greeted him as
he passed through the city in the cars.
Truly may it be repeated that it would be
difficult to conceive more sudden shock to
the community than the announcement of
the death of SO 'livng" man, so to speak,
as the Hon. George Scott. In the very midst
of his usefulness and when just about receiv-
ing and accepting the earthly reward of a
valuable and well spent life, faithful pub
lie servant and a worthy man has departed
from among us. Peace TO his ashes Pa

The services at the Episcopal Church On
Easter Sunday were of an interesting character.
The alter was beautifully decorated with flowers,
and covered with the white altar CLOTH en-
broidered in gold. In the chancal were two
full blown lilies The singing, ~ usual, wa'
good. Rev. John Hewitt late rector Of tn
Parish, conducted the services, he having in
timaled his willingness to do so if requested.
In the afternoon Sunday school service was
held. On Easter Monday evening an election
of vestry tool, place in the church. A large
number of the congregation were present The
meeting was organized by calling Judge Elwell
to the chair, D. IL. Maize was elected secretary,
and the chair appointed F. +. Drinker and Il.
C. Neal. tellers. The election resulted in the
choice of j. j. Brewer, +. X. Drnker, G. C.
Marr, L. Mendenhall, Joseph ilendershott j,
X. Edgar and b. +. Hartman. Mr. John A,
Funston was nominated for reelection, but
positiyely declined TO serve if elected, and his
name was therefore dropped. The old yestry
W continued with this exception, Mr. Edgar,
being chosen in Mr.. Funston's place, So far
as we are able to learn, the election is perfectly
satisfactory, and this endorsement of the old
yestry by tho congregation shows that the peo-
nile are satisfied with their administration, 1t
Is expected that Rector will be called soon.

Last Friday morning young lawyer of this
town arose from refreshing slumber and after
dressing with cheerful alacrity, ate his break
fast and proceeded with light and airy step to
his office, On arriving AT that workshop of the
brain he caught sight Of bloodcurdling and
ear.inspiring document affixed to the door of
his sanctum With glaring eye-balls and per-
pendlcular hair he read the mysterious paper.
1t was a warning-a solemn warning, having
upon it skull and cross bones, a pistol and
coiln-and command ed the legal gentleman to
forthwith leave the scenes of his labors and HE
to other ciimes. The fearful truth burst on
him like clap of thunder-the dreaded Molly
Maguires were on his track and death stared
him in the face. But he was not dsmayed.
With nervous hand he tore the paper from the
door and rushing to his desk eagerly searched
hls books for the law concerning the carrying
of concealed deadly weapons-and, incidentally,
for the penalties attached to the robbery Of gra,
wards, Of which the skull reminded him. He
is more tranquil now and his friends have
hopes Of him.

to the woodwork. ST. Gabrel's was one of
the oldest churches in this county.
