From the County Seat.


On last Wednesday evening, August 10,
1881, the corner stone Of Concert Hall, at
this place, was laid in the presence of large
crowd Of people. The ceremonies were in
strict accordance with the programme COM
mencing with music by the sango band, Of
the End ward assisted by A. W. vananda,
all things considered, they deserve The
thanks Of the people for their kindness and
in justice should DO kindly remembered by
the people oi the lst ward. The opening
address by the President, j. G. Stocket was
short and appropriate, commencing the pro-
ject and eulogizing the orignators and con-
tributors. The historical summary of the
old residents, incidents and improvements
in and around Msvch Chunk, including the
old market house or town hall, aud the new
concert hall, read by u. H. Rauch, was quite
interesting and instructive, but incorrect in
regard to some of the old aud original set
tiers, also in sUfne other matters connected
with Its early history, and is therefore not
strictly reliable. Chorusesj "America" and
Aud Lang Synej" were well rendered By
the children assisted by some Of the mem
bers Of the Phpnix band under the direction
OF DR.. B. s. Erwin. The address by E. NJ.
Mulhearn was "short and sweet" Reading
OF poem by E. r. Siewers was not only
appropriate but amusing, closing with a fine
display of fireworks After which the crowd
gradually and quietly dispersed to their re-
spective homes delighted ard well pleased.
Thus successfully ended another important
event in the history of Mauch Chunk.

He called to his son, who was in the store,
for assistance. The boy ran into back room
and caught up croquet malet. He found
that Martin had thrown his father and was
holding him down. Young Regan then
dealt Martin blow on the head that made
him unconscious, and, though Martins form
was hmpand he was wholly disabled, he
continued to beat him on the head with the
ntallet until the crowd that had gathered
called for him to desist. Then the father

Digging out of Jail.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 9.-The famous
Buzzard brothers, lea lers of the Welsh
Mountain gang OF petty thieves,six of whom
have been in the county Jail and three of
whom are serving out recent sentences, well
nigh escaped and made general Jail delv-
cry on Sunday night. Abe, Ike and Joe
Blizzard, in for thirteen, ten, aud four years
respectively, which they have just begun To
serve, with Charles Gibson, famous horse
thief, and four other fellow conyicts, have
occupied adjoining cells IN the local penten-
tiary and worked at cigar making Their
cells are ironclad, except the partition walls
between them, which are brick and eighteen
inches thick. Through these they bored
holes large enough to communicate, and
when their plans had all been made they
cut holes large enough to crawl through.
Theyall gathered in the last cell of the series,
whence they dug through the outer Jail
wall, and had almost effected their escape
to the ground below, when the night watch
man detected and foiled them. They had
done the work with knives given them to
make cigars. The wall around the yard is
full of holes, and ten year-old boy with a
stick could easily scale it. Had the eight
desperate men who so nearly got away
reached the ground, they would most likely
have set some other prisoners at liberty.

Fatal Fall From a window.

On July Sth Mr.. j N. Harris, 5uperin
tendent of the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey at Philipsburg, Pa, took his wife and
infant child, and his wi!e's sister, Miss Liz
zle NJ. Clark, to Newport, R l., to spend the
remainder of the summer. Mrs. Harris was
killed last Monday morning by falling out
of one of the windows at the boarding house
on Kay street where they were stopping,
whether by accident or design there ls no
positive evidence to determine. Mrs. Har-
ris rose from the breakfast table at about
O'Clock, and said that, as her head felt bad
ly, she would 60 and lie down. In less than
an hour she trmbed out of one of the
windows, presumably that Of the bath room,
in front of Mrs. Cranston, who was in the
garden. An inquest was held DR.. Van
derveer, OF Brooklyn testified that she was
dead when he got to her. He made casual
examination and found a fracture of the
bones of the nose and both bones OF the left
wrist. These would not have caused death,
but it was brought about by the shock and
probably cerebral hem"rrhsge at the base Of
the skull. Miss Lizzie NJ. Clark, the sister,
testified that Mrs. Harris had frequently
said that she felt no interest in worldly
things and that she did not care to live. She
had recently complained Of pains in her
head. The jury declared that the woman
came to her death by accident. Mr.. Harris
was telegraphed for Immediately.

Small sums by Mail.

Postmaster General James, has, il is re
ported, deyised a plan for sending small
sums OF mon ~ through the mails at cheap
rate. The device consists of a card having
three columns representing dollars, tens and
cents, and the amount TO be drawn is desig-
mated by punching out figures. Two de-
nominations will be issued, one for all sums
within $3.50, and the other for all sums
within SIS. The orders will be payable to
bearer, and the post oilice will not be re-
sponsible for their safe delivery any more
than for fractional currency. for which they
are a substitute. The orders will be finely
printed on bank note paper. The postmast-
er will sell the $3.50 card for two or three
cents premium, and will himself punch out
the amount paid, aud the buyer will simply
inclase the card 10 his letter, aud the receiv-
er can cash it at any office. The postmaster
will enter the amount of the order on stub,
which will be the only check the depart
ment will need, as the name of the sender
and payee are not entered. In order to pre-
vent the Use Of the postal orders as currency
they are IN be redeemable only for three
months from the date Of issue.

-Strange-we do not always fear the tam

IN which he does not believe as he is in

goes through dark room alone, firmly ex-
poets some one 10 catch him and carry him
off. This may apply TO those whose early
education has been chiefly of ghostly dog
mas, but mind of healthy growth has no
more fear Of ghosts in dark room or lone
