State Notes.

Miss Sophia Kemper aged l12,
died at Easton, or Sunday, ut two
O'clock. She was the daughter of Col.
Kemper, of the revolutionary army.
Mr.. John Haggerty, justice of
the peace, of SiagO county, was served
mean trick on Sunday night last,
while attending cl:ufch in jackson
township, Lycoming county. Some
miscreant cut his harness, stole his
martingale rings, and unbuckled the
lines and harness from his horse while
tied in front of the brick church The
Squire is justly indignant that such
an outrage should be perpetrated upon
him at such place. He thiuks the
guilty parties are Oh fair way for the
penitentiary.
Peter Herdic, the we'll known for
mer millionaire of Williamsport, was
confined to his house by sickness the
two last months of last year. About
the first of this month, however, he
quietly left Williamsport, and since
then nothing has been heard by the
public of his movements. 1t was
stated by his friends that he had gone
to Florida, there to remain until his
health had improved. Mr.. Herdic's
departure has caused considerable COM
n,ent, in view of the financial difficult
ties in which hc has recently been in
volvcd.
A serious accident, resulting In the
death of young man we have not
learned his name] who some time ago
dropped his jacknife into a 5000 bar
rel tank of oil. Yesterday the oil was
drawn off to about q foot. when he
endeavored to obtain his knife by
being lowered into the tank by rope
under his arms, his friends lowering
him to the bottom. When it was dis
covered he did not move, he was
quickly withdrawn, but the spark of
life had fled, he having suffocated al
most instantly upon his descent. The
above took place on Kansas Branch
Bradford Era.
Horace f. Taylor, a banker of
Williamsport, who failed some nine
months ago, and was subsequently ar
rested by some important depositors,
was arraigned before the Lyconing
criminal court fer en,be&zlement OF
some $500. The defence claimed that
the money on deposit ceased to be the
property of depositOrs and became the
property of defendent, and therefore
he could not embezzle his own funds.
The prosecution attempted to prove by
depositors that they had placed money
in his bank when Judge Mayer ruled
that under the Act of Assembly in
1862 the evidence of the depositOrs
could not he admitted. The court then
ordered the case net 2,rosd,, and Tay-
lor was discharged.

Get More Oxygen.

The Philadelphia Business Advo-
cate, speaking OF the new and remark
ably successful treatment for chronic
diseases, known us Compound Oxy-
gen" says: We call particular atten-
ton to this new treatment. and es-
pecially for those who are suffering
from chest or catarrhal diseases, or
from any Of the various forms of Deu-
ralgia. Tho larger amount of oxygen
which it furnishes to the lungs g.ves
a higher degree of warmth and vitali-
ty to the system, and 80 fortiies it
against the assaults OF winter. A few
years ago q gentleman of this city.
with lungs so weak and vitality SO low
that he was obliged to seek southern
latitude every winter or confine MIN
self to the house from December to
March, was induced by friend who
had received great benefit from the
oxygen treatment, to give it trial.
The result was not only improved
health, but the ability to remain in the
city all through the colder season OF
the year. We believe that he has not
been south since he commenced to use
the oxygen" If you wish to know all
about this new treatment, write to Drs.
