From MAZeitOn, "a.
Special Ger. to the KBpUBLlcAS.


MR.. EDlrOR.-The weekly visits OF
the REPUBLICAN are always gladly
welcomed by me, for it always contains
a large amount OF local, aS well rs gen
eral news, and is always up to the
times.
Hazelton, is situated in L1zerne Co.,
Pa, and for a town of its SIZE will com
pare with any in tho State, for beauty
and the amount of business transacted.
1t is also remarkably healthy, beih ( the
highest point this side of the AlleGha'
MES. 1t is well supplied with newspa-
pers, having three or four weeklie> and
two daily papers.
The Lehigh K. II. have extensive
shops here, which, together win lhs
many coal mine, located near this TOW Il,
gives employment to many Lupdreds OF
men, and from one to two hundred
thousand dollars are paid out in wages
TO the men every month. SO you bee,
that with such monthly disbursement
Of cash busiuessls very brisk iu our
our tOwis.
1t has been very dry here FOR some
time, and we were threatened with a
wafer famine, but we have had some
little rain during the past week, and
tie farmers feel much relieved.
The demand for coal continues good.
The producing companies have no diff
Guilty in disuosing of all they can mine.
Prices range as usual but there is every
indication of an early advance. There
is no indication Of any suspension in
production.

The Corn Crop.

MANY of the farmers of this county
have already cut their corn and tbs
shocks can be seen in various fields
adjacent to the public roads The
ield it is said will net be more than a
third of crop, many stalks having no
ears on them. while others have very
short ones. The farmers whH planted
the earliest, we believe, will receive the
greatest reward for the labor and
capital expended In such cases the
virld viii te II tolerabiy fair one,
although mu"h below the usual average.
The early planting had well advanced in
stature before the d.aught commenced,
while the later planted came to stand
still before the form alton of the
ears, and the crop has proved almost
an entire failure. The latest planting
on good ground, is still growing, aud
there will be tai" show Of nnbbins
Many attribute the failure to realize
a goo,, crop to the planting of bad seed.
The farmers may learn two or three
things from the experience If the past
season. First, the necessity Of good
seed; second, the expediency Of early
plantn.g z; aud third, the Importance OF
thorough cultivation and the ase OF
manure or fertilizers Of some kind
With c. RI at - certs bnshel and a
fair prospect Of a still further advance,
tine farmers will be Stimulated to put
forth extra eff ,rt' to raise good crop
next season, and we nope that they
may be successful. Half crops do not
nav the farmers and are a serious loss
10 the community al large.

An Escap I'd Prisoners Crime. i.

PITTSBURG, Septemb+ II.
A fearful tragedy was enacted in the
east end OF the city this morning. On
June 10 Adam Kountzman was sent to
Jail on the charge of stealing lumber. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
eight months imprisonment. He had
not lived happily with his family, and
during the visits Of his eldest daughter
by former wife the girl told kountz-
man that her step mother was unuuly
intimate with Joe Minister, one OF the
boarders whom she had taken into the
house. The wife also visited Hountz-
man, who threatened to kill her and all
her bOarders as sOon aS released from
Jail. On Tuesday kountzman escaped
from prison. He remained concealed
until & O'Clock this morning, when he
appeared at the Kountzman house, Oh
Frankstown avenue. Removing his
shoes he stealthily stole up stairs to a
room where Minister was reading the
newspaper aud deIt him furious blow
with slungShot. Minster grapp,ed
with him. The two men rolled down
stairs and Minister escaped. Kountz-
man then found his wife outside the
house He knocked her down, jumped
upon her and kicked her, crushing in
the back of her head with the slung,hot
He left her for dead and returning 80
the house, drew Il pruning knife aud
deliberately plunged II into his threat
almost severlng the head from the body
He expired in few moments. His
bleeding wife was removed to the hos
pital, but her chances of recovery are
very slim. Minister is not ser ously
injured. kountzman was ashoemaker
80 years Of age His wife is about 80
years old and Very handsome.

The bad Days.

On the bad days, says one account OF
the Presidents mother, Mrs. Garfield
is seen holding the door half open and
gazing down the lane for the first sight
of the telegraphic messenger with It'd.
ings from "James." She has taken out
her knitting and put it by again many
times this summer; she "always puts
the( (RInitting away when James is
worse" How different from court
chronicles this, and how completely il
comes home to every home in the coun-
try. That is why, in their own sympa-
thy and affection, all the people have
been nursing the President; because OF
the truly republican surroundings Of it
all. The younger Mrs. Garfield, the
Presidents wife, going 10 the kitchen
to prepare the food, busying herself
over Ihe saucepan and fire, lIreciSely v
as any other mans wife might do.
The elder stands at evening looking
,wn the lane that has had so many
5urnings. When the new made Presi-
dent kissed his old mother Oh iunlgura-
ton day, some there were who thought
1t was too "Western,' too free and
little in keeping with the tornlality OF
the hour. Some again put it down to
dramatic effect, and called it bad taste
in that. But nobody talks that way
now. All have learned to know James
A. Garfield better by th $ time, and
are glad that the poor old mother had
this tillal and reverenL greeting in re-
cognl,ion Of her share in the man who
reached the high place that day.
IT il by this o,l farner' Witp in Ohio
by all simplicity, that the knitting goes
on, in another sense. 1t is indeed =
great nation that can point to these
simple touches of nature and say here

union and our strength, when the
highest place in the nation is at one
with all the homes in it.

letin recently, showing how nicely the
