OBITUARY.

JAMES KELSEY, son of John E. and
Emily K. Smith, died at Smiths Ferry,
Pa, Feb. 9, 1881, at o'clock A. NJ, aged
10 years, s months and day.
Kelsey was child of more than ordi-
nary promise combining ir his character
brightness of intellect and gentleness of
disposition. He had the ambition to
know and the disposition to acquire the
truth, which together with an intelli-
gence beyond his years, would doubtless
have made great man had he lived.
He had too a love for home and mother,
and natural repugnace to vice, which
with the grace of God would have made
him good man also. 1t is, however, a
great consolation to his heart-broken
parents, that he has entered upon life
of far greater promise, and that he will
be far greater and better man in that
world than he ever could have been in
this. Bereaved of their children in this
life, they yet shall be honored by them
in the life to come. L. HE.

time before service on Saturday, but for
tunately was extinguished before get
ting under full headway. The only
damage was to the room.
The terrible death of Mr.. Sloan's fam
lily at East Liverpool created quite a
sensation here, as Mr.. Sloan is well
known to many. Rev. Campbell referred
to the accident during his sermon on
Sabbath, and Mr.. Sloan may rest assured
that he has the sympathy of all who
knew him.

THE New York Tribune of Friday, in
referring to the commercial situation,
says when the Refunding bill is before
the House, its title should be amended
by the substitution of the words propo-
sed by Congressman Updegraff, of Ohio,
when the bill was under consideration in
January. He moved then that it be
called "a bill to defeat refunding, in
crease the amount of interest on the
public debt, contract the currency, in
jure the public credit, and depress the
business industries of the country" 1t is
sufficiently evident already that that is
about what it will accomplish if it be-
comes law. M a

CONGRssMAN UPDEGRAFF, of this dis
trict, in the House of Representatives
recently, delivered very able and ex-
ceedingly interesting speech on the agri-
cultural interests of the country, which
will attract general attention. The
Washington Republican says of it that
"the speech of the Hon. J. L. Updegraff,
of Ohio, on the bill for the creation of a
Department of Agriculture is not only
an eloquent and exhaustive plea for that
industry, but it is also most valuable
treatise on the relations which it holds
to all civilized governments. He has
studied the question carefully and pre-
sented his argument strongly.

THE deadlock in the United States
senate is likely to continue for some
time. The responsibility for the fail
ure Of that body to transact the public
business rests with the republicans.
They insist on completing their bar
gain with Malone before proceeding to
consider the nominations sent to the
senate by President Garfield. They
are determined to deliver to Mr.. Ma
hone the goods they promised hm- for
his vote, that is. they have resolved to
elect Mahone's man Riddleberger
eergeant-at- alarms, before they will pro-
ceed to transact the business for
which tLey sre called together by the
president. 1t is to be hoped that every
democratic senator will remain firm in
his opposition to the completion OF the
republi lican bargain with Malone and
that not a single democratic vote will
he cast in the senate to aid that prince

GILL FIX YOU"

SUNBURY, Pa, April 6.-This af-
ternoon the citizAns Of this place were
much shocked on hearing Of the mur-
der of Miss L title Hoover, aged seven
teen years, by her brother George,
whose age is tut fourteen years. The
tragedy happened at the house OF the
family about three miles from here on
the road leading to SnYdertown and
Shamokin. Young Hoover came to
dinner late aud no and his sister had u
quarrel over this. IL sat down to the
table and the difficulty continuing, he
got up aud rem lrking, "rll fix YOU"

mother, wh9 was in the room at the
time, fearing the boy meant harm got
up and locked the door. The BOY Sc

back ny and came around To the front
door which he opened and deliberate
ly shot his sister.
The loom where the murder was
committed was the out kitchen. II is

in the neck, tearing and decorating it.
The dying girl never spoke. She was
raised up by her sisters, but died in a
few minutes.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased, Lottie Hoover, came to her
death by IA shot deliberately dre from
a shot gun by her brother, George
Hoover. The scene at the house was
heartrendlng in the extreme. Mrs.
Hoover and the girls almost went wild
with grief. George will be brought to
