THE LATE MRS. MARGARET MILLER,
WIFE or EX:GOVkRNOR STEPHEN

THE LATE MRS. MARGARET MILLER,
WIFE or Ex:GOVEhtNOR STEPHEN
MILLER.
Harrisburg. (Pa) Telegraph, 25th
The death Of tins estimable lady.
which took place at her late residence
in this city, on Sunday evening, re-
moves from i large circle of friends one
who has won and retained Il most sin
cere feeling of regard from her earliest
girihood to her last moment.
Mrs. Miller WAS the daughter of
Christian Funk, who, seventy years
ago, was Oile of tho most prominent
men in the upper part of the county; Il
leader i'll the then politics of the peri
cd; an active christian, recognized as
one of the prominent MethOdists of
those esMay days; an exhorter ct unus-
llal force and clOQuence, and u man of
influence, rs is shown by tho fact that
fae was elected to represent his fellow
citizens in tie legislature. The people
of Halifax township still cherish hon
Orable memories Of Christian Funk,
the sturdy Methodist exllorter and un-
1lmcling advocate of the right in all
things.
Mrs. Miller was the wife of Stephen
Miller, who was prominently connect
ed with the Wing and Republican poll
ties Of Pennsylvania, and who went 10
Minnesota aud was elected governor of
that State, lie held several offices in
Dluphin county and was connected
with the State govern nent.
The deceased lady was all her life a
member OF the Methodist church.
Like her father, she WAS III enthusiasts
tic Christian, jealous for the right AMI
purity Of religion, and ,tspokt.n in its
defense. Her association with the
Methodist congregation in Harrisburg
was Of the most pleasant character
with all to whom she gave her conf
tlence. 4 woman of strong mind, i'm
hued with aspirations Of high order.
she reached out in all directions to do
good, and find companionship with the
pure and religiously inclined. Her
death, AS we have said, calls forth
many expressions Of regret from those
who knew her in life.

the last Saturday in each month and
regular meetings of the Agricultural
Society on the same day.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
etficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is 50 mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so ettectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases ara
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence If the superiority of this Sar-

medicine. So generally is its superb
orty to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Dor REPLIES TO COUNTY.

EDITOR ADVANCES: In last weeks
ADVANCE "County" seems to think
he has us, but we think he is more like
the man who reached undera log pull
out q wootchuck. After pulling for
some time his boy said, ''Father have
YOU got him?' mo you little rascal,
but he las got me-" Now, Mr.. "Coun-
ty," to use 4 milder term than you de-
serve, | will say you are the NEST un-
charitable person ever knew. In
speaking. Of the way our bridges were
neglected used tho word bridge
thieves, which did not apply to any
particular class of men. But you saw
one more chance Of heaping abuse upon
our heads, by using the word "farm-
crs." You were undoubtedly fearful
the charge might be carried to your
own door. But cannot blame you,
for Il drowning man will catch at II
straw. 1t is wonderful to see how
your faith in the button-hole business
holds out. Is it possible you cannot
SEQ that there is not a shadow of i
chance for you. 1t is not only the in
tention but within the ability of the
farmers to Oh st every county officer
out Of his present easy position.
We think VIC see you another fall
driving your oxen into WorthingtOn
with two bushels of potatoes for sale,
raised on u rented farm. Would it not
he as we'll to change thumbs in view of
that fact. Dor.

Pinkerton Kepudiates Them.
An article appeared in the Detroit Fre< Press
Of the 18th inst. narrating the circumstance OF
the arrest, by Detective S:radler OF that city, OF
three mcn, known By the police as james An-
dcrson, William Johnston, and James II. Rob-
inson, who were believed to be prowline about
! Detroit for no good purpose, although they had
bcen discovered in no definite act Of cussedncss.
| They were, however, known to Dctectige Strad-
lcr and Superintendent Rogers as professional
burglars and pickpockets. .Tncy agreed to leave
the city, and accordingly they were photo
eraphed and set ut liberty. They claimed
to have very little money with them, and they
pctitioncd that they be allowed twenty-four
hours to Get out OF town in. This WIS granted.
Subsequently: they inye;gled Free Press re-
porter to their room in the hotel, where thcy
hau been stopping snce Dec Is, and showed
him package Of documents to prove to him
that they were genuine detectives. The uoc,1-
ments consisted OF a letter of commission, with
letters OF instruction, all bearing the heading
of the Pinkcrton Detective Agency Of Chicago,
and all dated within the past month. There
were also two letters Of introduction from
the IT,. Turtle ; Defective Agency Of this
u stock Of goods which had been spirited away
from ST. Louis. The fellows claimed to be in
search OF the parties who stole them. When
asked BY tue reporter why they did not inform
lHt uol4te VI tucsc laCLS, LNeT reDleQ Lnat they
had spotted them, and their usefulness was
spoiled. They said they would have to return
to Chicago, and three more detectives would
have to he sent to ''work up the casc.n The
fellows succeeded in working up quito SYM
pathy among other people to whom they told
their story.
A TRIBUNE reporter went over to Pinkcrton's
Agency last evening, and found Mr.. William
Pinkerton, to whom Ae showed the article
clipped from the Free Press. After reading it
over carefully. Mr.. Pinkcrton exclaimed, 'sThcy
are frauds" He said the three men were prob
ably regularl y-organizcd band Of picspockets,
and they had adopted this method to work their
game successfully. There was no possible way
III which they could get hold of any Of the a1cn-
cv's lctter~leaus. he said, and the agency knew
nothing about :hem.
Mr.. Pinkcrton then went out into the main
office aud dictated to one of his clerks letter
to Superintendent Rogers, OF Detroit, calling
attention to the fucts above related telling him
The parties we're frauds, and requesting him to
send him copies Of their photographs
