~ Senator Edmunds is reported to
have said that the presidents order to
federal Office-holders to abstain from
the management and control of local
politics is distasteful to Vermont Re
publicans. If this is Senator Edmunds'
belief, he would do well to converse a
little with the people of the state on
the subject. He would find that too
much postmaster is not acceptable in
running local elections, and that there
is hardly town where the people are
not perfectly satisfied that the amount
of patriotism and brains is quite ample
for all political purposes whatever,
though unassisied by the DISTINGUISHED
postmaster or the guileless custom
house official. Any rings or cliques
that have gathered about Federal Off
Gals are of course dissatisfied, but the
vast majority of the Republicans of the
state think the presidents order wise
and needed one.
~ The brilliant discovery has boon
made at the Naval Observatory at
Washington of moon and possibly two
accompanying the planet Mars. This
planet has been extensively studied; all
the biggest telescopes that ever were
constructed have been fired at it, and
yet up to few days since il had been
pronounced a poor planet where lovers
could not promenade at night, and only
fortunate in that the circumstances fay
orable to the development of the mid
night Thomas cat did not exist there
But the ability ofan American telescope
of twenty-six inches aperture, together
with the nearness of the planet and the
excellence of the observers eye has set
tied the matter. Mars is better off than
the earth, if the suspected second satel.
lite proves to exist. Nevertheless, Mars
cannot be very moony planet, unless
the orbits of its attendants are placed al
very oblique angle to that of the plan
ct, for the outside moon is distant but
little more than twice the diameter ofthe
planet, and so they must otherwise be in
AN eclipse most of the time. However,
we shall probably know more before
long about the capabilities of Mars as q
habitation for the musical cat.

"Georgs Knights was a very lissipated man,
and though, it is said he was possessed Of natu-
rally good mind with fair education, had so
abused himself by drink that he was regarded by
many as not morally accountable for his acts. He
had been in Jail several times for petty larceny.
"Young Drake Immediately came to town and
delivered himself up to the proper authorities. A
preliminary hearing was held before Judge Mayer
on Saturday, and be was bound over in 81 900

The Lock HAVEN NATIONAL BANK
"A meeting Of tho stockholders Of the Lock
Haven National Bank was held at their banking
house in Lock Haven, August 2lst. John Sander
son, Esq, Of Jersey Shore, was elected Chairman
and Charles Corss, Esq, Secretary. The Presi.
dent Of the Bank made statement Of Its condi-
tion, and the causes that led to the suspension,
which he stated grew out Of a run made on the
Bank in 1873, which took from 1t upwards Of
500, 900, aud this was followed by an unusual
number Of failures among the business men Of the
county, throwing upon the Bank large amount
of suspended paper, rendering 1t unable to afford
lis usual accommodations to its depositors. And
this fact with continued failures and the disturbed
condition Of the country, created such a dIstrust
that run was made upon the Bank, under the
pressure Of which the Directors deemed It best to
suspend payment and go into liquidation, With
the intention Of re organizing after sufficient
amount Of It's assets were collected to pay its
liabilities.
From a report made by the Directors, after
foil and careful examination of the assets and
liabilities Of the Bank in connection with the
U. $. Bank Examiner, it appears that IL has
enough assets to pay all its liabilities In full and
leave not less than 6fty dollars per share for the
stockholders.
The President, in view Of the depressed eondi-
tion Of the industrial interests Of the country, and
the large amount Of suspended paper held by the
Bank, advised liquidation, and the Directors and
stockholders unanimously recommended the ap-
pointment Of D. NJ Peck, Esq, as Receiver The
dcpositors will be paid in installments as fast as
collections can be made.
The meeting Of the stockholders, at which more
than three. .fOurths Of the stock was represented,
was very onious- Ciiaton Democrat.
