The TRANsGREssoR's FATE.-Jacob
and Albert ]. Huntzinger, the Potts
vile bankers, who have served the
greater part OF their sentence of two
years in the Berks county jail were
released on the 22d ult. They were
sentenced in January, 1873, to a term
OF two years Imprisonment and to pay
fine of $500 and costs and TO restore
to Thomas f. Kerns, a depositor in
their bank, s24, 900. A Communication
pardon was granted by the Governor,
but the counsel for Kerns objected, as
they had so far failed to comply with
that part of the sentence in which
they were ordered to make restitution.
They fled bond, however, to present
their petition at the next term of Court
for the benefit OF the insolvent law, and
were released. They were immedi.
ately re-arrested on q process from
Scbylkill county, and gave bail for
appearance there.

RESUMPTION.

Eds. Tsl:-It was a matter Of great sur
prise to your correspondent that the little
article penned by him, in reference to the
danger of abolishing National Banks,
should call out 50 long and learned an art
icle in the Standard of last week. 1t was
still more surprising to learn that the |.
5. Treasury Is responsible for the redemp-
tion Of all the National Bank currency.
The law OF Congress says nothing of it (un-
less it has been amended 10 that effect)
but simply provides that in case a bank
fails to redeem its own notes, then its
bonds deposited with the [. S. Treasurer
shall be sold to redeem Ihem-not in lone
thousand dollar packages" but as they
may be presented. This law was approved
February 25th, 1868, and according to its
provisions, every solvent National Bank
must take care of its own circulation. If
there is any law requiring the L. S. Treas
ury to redeem all National currency, the
Standard will be entitled tC much honor
for pointing it out. If there is no such
law, thea the increase of Greenbacks must
increase the liabilities of the Treasury and
endanger the success Of resumption.
There is no use of Disgusting the fact
that Democratic politicians desire the fail
ure of resumption. and will use every
means to bring it about.
The statement in the Standard that
there are six hundred million dollars Of
paper currency against one hundred mil
lions of coin, is greatly different from the
last official report Of the Secretary of the
Treasury. He reports of coin in the Treas
ury, 224, ,S65, AT dollars, or in round mum
bers two hundred and twenty-five million
dollars, against three hundred and forty
seven million dollars in Greenbacks in
round numbers, being an increase of coin
in twelve months of about ninety-five mil
lions, and a decrease of Greenbacks of a
little over three millions. With so large a
proportion of coin against the paper issue,
and the earnest cooperation of the banks,
and most of the monied and intelligent
men Of the country, to make resumption a
success, it must succeed against any posi-
ble opposition.
Only war. famine, or the abolition of the
National Banks and the increase of Green
back circulation to a large extent can en-
danger it.
1t may be very amusing TO the readers Of
the Standard to find paper money Landed
TO the skies, in one issue of that paper and
then contemptuously referred to as "rag
baby" in the next.
Resumption for the rich, but rag baby
fer the people" is refreshing, when it is a
notorious fact that monied men prefer pa
per currency to coin, and the working-men
all over the country are being paid off in
gold. The worknen in some of the large
establishments in Warren have been paid
il gold, and last week, the workmen in the
City Forge and Iron Co., Cleveland, were
paid in gold and many of them expressed
preference for paper.
Men of all parties, who do business,
whether capitalists, employers or laborers,
are satisfied with the present condition of
the currency, and these money thinkers will
find that they had better let well enough
alone. E.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
men, writing from PainesYille, says:
"Since trees have thawed have examined
the buds in quite a number Of localities,
and l am pleased to find there is still
chance for fair crop of peaches, cherries,
etc. have never before known so little
seeming injury to result from cold of 16 to
20 deg. below zero. The season, no doubt,
is that the buds ripened well last Fall and
did not swell, as they commonly do, before
the severe weather. A majority of the
buds are sound, but l find the twigs and
branches of the peach trees that were Of
bearing age last year good deal injured
the inner bark much discolored; and /
think that many of those that Overbore last
wear will not recover. Others will have to
be cut back severely, so as to form new tops.
Sweet cherry trees are also injured by the
same causes, but not so badly. Grape
vines that were not mildewed last season
are all right. We shall not expect many
apples the coming season as it is our of
wear.

OnrTenure of Life

Depends in a great measure upon our regard for
or neglect of the laws of health. If we violate
them we cannot expect to make old bones"
But that the span of existence allotted to natur-
ally delicate constitution, or one which has been
shaken by disease may be materially heightened,
is a fact of which we have daily proof. The VI
yify1ng and restorative influence of Hostetter' s
stomach Bitters upon falling physique affords a
striting illustration of the power of iudiciOus
meiiicafion to strengthen the hold on life. Re,
stored digestion, complete assimilation, renew,

Seri6ner for March, is not a whit less at
tractive than its predecessors. Indeed, we
believe the theory of the concern is a good
deal like that of St. Paul-fOrgetting the
things that are behind, to reach forward
for those that are before-greater excel
lences-higher attainments-the greatest
possible good. We have come to look on
that as Hollands style. His imitation is a
worthy one, and we don't know that ST
Paul himself would be ashamed Of it, ex
eept that the imitator's crown is rathel
more of perishable one.

A Coyington correspondent Of the In
dianapolis Journal gives the following ac-
count of the falling of a meteoric stone
and its singular effects in the death Of a
sleeping man. 1t is dated the 18th inst
Leonidas Grover. who resided in the vicini-
ty Of NewtCwn, Fountain county, met his
death in way that IS probably without
parallel in this or any other country. Mr..
Grover was a widower, living on his farm
with a married daughter and her husband.
On the evening referred to, the married
couple had been absent on a visit to some
neighbOrS, ard upon returning at a late
hour. entered the house, finding every
thing, 20 all appearance, in usual order,
and supp0Sing that Mr.. Grover had already
retired, went TO bed themselves. Next
morning the daughter arose and having
prepared breakfast, went to the adjoining
room to call her father, and was Mortified
to find him lying upon his shattered bed,
a mutilalri corpse. Her screams brought
the husband quickly TO the bedroom and
an inspection disclosed a ragged opening
in the roof, directly over the breast Of the
unfortunate man, which was torn through
as il hy a cannOn-shot, and extending
downward through the bedding and floor;
ollie holes showed the direction taken by
the lady missile. Subsequent search re-
vealed the fact that the awful calamity
was caused by the fall Of meteoric stone,
and the stone itself, pyramidal in shape,
and weighing 2OpOunds and few ounces,
ayOirdupOis, and stained with blood, was
unearthed from a depth of nearly five feet,
thus showing the fearful impetus with
which it struck the dwelling. The position
of the corpse, with other surroundings,
when fonnd, showed that the victim was
asleep when stricken, and that death to
him was painless.

Senator HOwland's bill to compel insur-
ance companies to survey and place val
uation on all property when policy IS IS
sued, and to pay the full amount insured
in case of loss, which passed the Senate
few days ago, has brought down upon the
House a fearful pack of lobbyists.
Insurance men from all over the Stale
are fighting it bitterly with their ablest ad'
Vocates, determined to defeat it. The com
mlttee having the bill in charge have held
one meeting, but postponed definite actor
for one week, at the request Of the insur
ance men, so as TO give the State Board al
opportunity to be heard by their represent
atives before the Committee.

The accounts rendered by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad for the transportation Of
oil over its own track and connecting roads
as shown for the month of May, 1878. The
joint railroads carried over one route from
the oil regions 20 New York, an average
distance of 500 miles, 33, ,2O7 barrels of oil,
weighing 5,3971% tons, and received for
such service Sc, ,9O1 O8, about % cents per
barrel, or 81 so per ton, for 500 miles
haul. From this they claim that $4,000
was deducted from the gross earnings as
special allowance in May" for rebates in
February and March, not then given to
some unknown but favored recipient, but
examination of the accounts for subsequent
months shows that rebates for the May
business amounting'to So, 500 were deduct
ed from the scanty earnings of those later
months. These accou nts clearly demons
trate the folly of railroad companies fos-
tering one enormous shipper to the destrue-
tion Of many smaller ones where the aggre-
gate of shipments would equal those Of the
overgrown monopoly, and at rates far
more remuneratiYe.
