We are to vote in November upon d o
proposed amendment to the constitu.
ton, abolishing the Office of lieutenant
governor. The first section of the act,
covering the amendment, provides that
il shall be the duty of the secretary OF
State, Mt least three months before
The election is held, to send to the pro-
prietOrs Of every newspaper IN tue state
a copy of the act or resolution for pub
LEGATION. As far as We know this has
not beed done in any case, and 1t is now
too late and the amendments appear
in the Clarion only. Does not this
oversight invalidate the vote upon the
amendment? viii the election be con-
Quoted upon the terms Of the nct-see
page 2S, acts of January and April,
1876? How is it'll Reveille.
BY reference to Page 2lS of the
above acts it will be found that
Jewell o some other newspaper
hater, perhaps, introduced an act
awendatory to the one above
spoken Of, which requires that the
secretary Of State should furnish a
copy Of the act to only the official
organ Of the State, thereby cutting
of the revenue of all the other
papers in the State. The vote
upon the amendment at the next
election therefore will be valid.

NEIY y0RK CUSTOM HOUsE,

The radical customhouse in New
York has turned out to be so foul
with corruption that the report Of
the Investigating committee was
held back for some days, as it made
such a bad showing that it was
deemed ~imprudent to allow the
public TO become aware Of its con
tents. That corruption abounded
IN the custOmhouse no one would
pretend to deny, but the admins
tration at Washington was most as.
toundingly surprised at the sweep
ing condemnation made by the
committee, as well as the exposure
Of so complete a den Of inGamy as
the Office had grown to be, and all
under the rule Of Sunstroke Blaine,
Old Paralytic Morton, and the rest
of the bright and shining lights Of
the party with great moral IDEAS"
whose characters can be no better
illustrated than by repeating the re.
mark Of a radical in the house
(who must certainly have forgotten
HIMSELF after Ben Butler had SER
monized on morality, when he ex
claimed: Amen let's all steal
something The force of the lam
guage employed by the committee
to express their utter contempt for
the whole affair, the management Of
the office particularly, is Of the
strongest nature and most pointed
in its meaning, and entirely in keep
ing with its ~cGusure, and the COM
mittee, whilst recommending an n
tire clearing out of the whole es-
Enlistment, could not take leave of
the secretary without saying that
the investigation did not commence
a day too soon.

A Sense of WEAKNESS

Is often felt by persons who cannot locate any
particular disease. If they work 1t becomes
labor (; If they walk they soon tire mental eff
forts becomes burden, and even joys are dim
med by the shadow of this weakness which is
cast over their lives. Recourse is had some
times to stimulants of dangerous character.
The advise of phys icians to refrain from active
labor produces no happy results. Why7 The
system is debllltated and needs te be built up
properly. Peruvian Syrup will do this very
thing. Like the electric current, it permeates
the entire system, and harmonizing with the
corporeal functions, 1t raises up the enfeebled,
and brings the color to the cheek again, and
hope to the despondent. It does its work
promptly and we'll. Sold by all druggists. 474t

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
A dastardly attempt was made on Sat
urday night to burn the handsome resi-
dence of s. A. Pague, Esq, corner of
Pomfret and East streets. The glass be-
side the door had been broken and con-
siderable quantity of coal oil poured into
the hallway, after which lighted
matches were thrown in, but failed to
set fire to the house, as was doubtless the
intention. The family knew nothing of
the matter until Sunday morning they
discovered the evidences of an attempted
1ncendiary fire. The hall, inside the
door, for about six feet, is covered with
oil cloth, and this, doubtless, prevented
a confiagration.
Mr. Pague Is tanner by occupation.
and about two years ago his large tan
merry, adjoining the house, was totally
destroyed. This attempt is apparently
but an out-growth of the feeling against
Mr. Pague which prompted the first fire /;
but why this hatred should be cherished
is mystery, as Mr.. Pague is o man of
Integrity and is held in esteem by his
fellow citizens, having been elected to
several borough offices and came within
one vote of receiving the Democratic
nomination for Prothonotary in the
summer of 1875. Carlisle has been ours

Tuesday morning, shortly after four
O'Clock, we were aroused from our slum-
bers by the cry of fire. The cause of the
alarm was soon found to be the burning
of the stable of Mr.. Peter Weitzel, car
pet-weaver, on West Keller street. The
Washington fire company responded
promptly to the call and hastened to the
scene of the fire; but owing to the long
distance they had to carry water through
the hose, and the imperfect working Of
the fire-plug, they could not work very
effectively; and the entire building was

burned to the ground. Mr.. Weitzels
loss Is about 5000, on which he has an
insurance of 800. The fire was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary.
A small stable adjoining that of Mr..
W., on the east, and belonging TO Mr..
John Hots, was also burned down while
large stable next on the west was not
at all injured. -MechanicSbury Ledger.
The County Commissioners, says the
Volunteer, have concluded to devise
ways and means by which the numerous
tramps who are daily taking up quarters
in the county jail, may be put to work.
A large shed is to be erected in the Jail
yard, wherein the tramping fraternity
will break stone. The stone will, in
turn, be sold to the borough authorities.
On Friday morning, Mrs. Effie Tyler,
a very respectable colored lady, was

those in attendance went to give her her
medicine, they discovered that, unknown
to them, she had died. An inquest was
held, and the jury after hearing the evil
dence of Drs. Sibbet and Zigler, rendered
the verdict, "from natural causes"
