THE RIGHT Man IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
No one acquainted with john {. Barkley,
who resided in our town a few years ago,
where he married the wife lie has so heart
lessly deserted, and where he kept bar and
travelled on his shape" for considerable
time, but eventually became the leader of n
band of "howliug dervishes," so to speak,
and finally and in the bricfest space OF time
possible gravitated to his natural level as p
dead beat of the most ultra stamp-no
one, say, acquainted with him will be
surprised to read the following, which we
copy from the Edenkurg (Pa.) Herald Of a
recent da.e:
Last Saturday Mrs Mary Barkley, who is at
present residing IN this vicinity, came before
Justice Brown and made complaint asa ins, her
lily and refusing to render them support, stat
ing that for eight months he has not provided
her anything for q subsistence.
The warrant was issued, and yesterday Bark
ley appeared before his Honor When the case
was called. BarkIey waived an examination,
and the bail was fixed $8CO. This he persist
emily refused to obtain, or even make an effort
in his own behalf and officer Vedder according
ly took him to Clarion Jail last night.
J ohm BarklCy is q graduate of the Iron City
College, in Pitisburx is a man of culture, and
has held positions or trust requiring more than
ordinary efficiency and intelligence. He was
at one time one of the prominent men about
town In Ptttsburg. drcssy and popular But he
has been gradually descending In the seal e
which grades society, through some influence
which pulls men down, until now II would be
impossible to recognize in him any qualities
above the oIdtnary hewers of wood and drawers
OF water.
Whether IL was domestic troubles or cOnvivial
companions which wrought the change in his
fortunes, is not known. but il is surnised that
a lack OF congenialty and sympathy IN Ills fam
lily has hastened his steps downwards.
Efforts were made hy his counsel TO have him
see his wife and effect a settlement, or recon
citation. but he firmly refused, pref erring to
so TO jail rather than have an interview with
her.
Within the past year he has had gangs of men
working under him. upon the e 8. & c. Rail-
road, from here TO Clarion, but OF late he has
been out Of employment.

made by our tax collector, We are
harry to say that he deposited
more money in the State treasury
than any Tax collector outside tile
parish Of Orleans. He was cor
daily and Hospitality received by
the State authorities in the city
Of New Orleans, and was looked
upon with envy by some of the

worthy and rising young man,

OVERTAsKING THE ENERGIEs.-
1t is not advisable for any of us to over
task our energies, corporeal or mental
but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame
or knowledge, how mauy ~transgress this
salutary rule. 1t must be a matter of
great Importance to all who do SO to
know how they can regain the yigor so
recklessly expended. The remedy is
neither costly or dificrlt to obtain. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is procurable in
every city, town and settlement in Ameri.
ca, and it c~ompenrates for q drain of
bodily or mental energy more effrctually
than any insigorant yer prescribed or
advertised. Laboring men, athletes, stu
dents, journalists, lawyers, clergymep,
physicians, all bear testimony to its won-
drousiy renovaiiug powers. 1t increases
the capabilities for undergoing fatigue,
aud couuteraets the injurious effects upon
the system Of exposure, sedentary habits,
unhealthy OF wearying avocations, or an
insalubIious climate, ard is a prime a.
tentative, diusetic and hload 6epurent.

It becomes our painful duty to
announce the sudden death of
Judge WILLIAM kIEBE, which sad
event occurred last Thursday
morning about haifpast 10 o'clock,
at his residence near AbbeviIle.
Judge kibhe had been complain.
ing somewhat for a week or so,
but no one suspected that it would
have so fatal a termination. He
had lived to a ripe old age and
spent many years of his life in the
service of his country III various
positions which he filed alike with
honor to himself and credit to his
constituency. His funeral which
took place yesterday was largely
attended, by his numerous friends
and acqualntances. He was a
worthy citizen, an indulgent pa
rent, an upright Judge and a
steadfast friend. 10 his bereaycd
family and Borrowing relatives we
extend the sincere coincidence of a

PIScHBACK.-The ir~repressible
Percy Rysche shelly-is again on
the carpet. He wants to go to
Congress from the 5th congress
sional District, and has moved his
wardrobe, consisting Of the proven
bal carpet sack, up to Monroe Or
some other town, in the District,
and has began the canvass. Pinch
is about as respectable a dardey
as the Radical party ever num-
bered in its ranks, and has certain
ly received much ill-treatment at
its hands. Elected to the United
States Senate he was ignominious.
ly rejected simply because he was
a niger" and the sainted
Edmunds Of Vermont did not
hesitate to handle him severity in
a report Of a committee on creden.
tials, Of which he was the Chair
man. Dnmont a little bullet-headcd
niger from New Orleans, has
endeavored to Dust Pinch from
the Presidency Of the Republican
State Executive Committee, bat
we believe he has not succeeded.
Quite a number Of the Radical
politicians who have used Pinch
back as catapaw to pull chest
nuts ont OF the fire, are opposed to
him but as the Fifth District is
largely Republican,, and the only
district they carried at the last
election his chance for success are
good-Pinch wags a glib tongue
and we look for some fun and a
tight race between him and Gen.
FIoyed King or who ever our
party puts in the field against
him.

na 1t is gratifying to learn
that the finances Of Louisiana are
steadily improving. The amount
Of State taxes collected during
the first five months Of the pre-
sent year is $539,OO0 in excess of
the collections for the same period
last year. The payment Of the
interest on the State securities is
amply provided for. Meanwhile
the business prospect is growing
more encouraging every day.
