VIII Postmaster-Gencral James please in
form an anxious public what the increase
in the cost Of transporting the mails by
railways during the above months has
been? We understand II much exceeds the
above pretended savings.
Will he also inform the public what part
of the Star and Steamboat Service that he
took off with such flourish of trumpets,
he has since been compelled to restore
Will he also inform our Washington
readers why he discriminates in favor of
Baltimore rs against this city in the matter
of steamboat service to Norfolk? If steam
boat service is utterly useless between this
city and Norfolk, is II worth $4,000 year
between Baltimore and Norfolk?
Will healso inform our readers how much
it cost the Government to educate his son
at Hamilton College?
Will he also inform us how much he
pocketcd from the proceeds of waste paper
while postmaster at New York city?
The Postmaster-General knows what we
are driving at but we presume he will not
be in any hurry to explain. In fact, we
apprehend that from his standpoint an
explanation would be extremely inconve-
,innt

SENATOR BAYARD is one of those prim
and painful statesmen who believe that it
is sinful to "wrangle about offices. We
have observed that whenever Mr.. Bayard
wants an Office he does not wmngle 3"

would be highly improper for any person
TO "wrangle with Mr.. Bayard.

If THERE is ANY TRUTH in newspaper
reports of what took place in the Republican
caucus Saturday, it would seem that the
"desire for harmony and reconciliation
among the members of that bereaved party
was not sufficient to overpower the resent
ment of certain Senators against George
Gorham. Perhaps it is the Half-breed in
tention to load George with all the Stalwart
sins and then fire him into the wilderness,
rs it were. That would make everything
lovely.

SOME PAPERS find it rather possible and
easy to tell the truth when the political ad-
vantage of telling lies has passed away. The
New York Times now informs us that there
appeared in the Jefferson Market Police
Court yesterday, to answer to the charge of
obtaining money on false pretenses, man
who has held many Offices in his day, from
judge to governor ofa great State and who
is now beggar and penniless vagabond
There was a time when he had control of
almost unlimited wealth, rolled in luxury
and sported with wantons and libertines
with the profuseness of an Eastern prince.
To-day he has hardlya friend in the world,
and, broken, gray and seedy, he ekes out q
slender subsistence by his wits. Ifa nov
elist were to weave into romance the
main incidents of the career of Franklin j
Moses, formerly Governor of South Caro-
lima, people would say that his story was
sensational but somewhat improbable.
The life of Moses furnishes capital ex-
ample of the ease with which bold and
reckless man may seize on power and peli
in times Of political unsettlement and rev.
olution. The period Of reconstruction in
the South was Moses opportunity.
IL would have been the proper thing for
the Times to have announced about ten
years ago that Moses was first class candi-
date for the work house. When man de-
generates into scedy and pennilcss vaga-
bond II doesn't require the artillery of a
Metropolitan daily to blow him up. Coun-
try weeklies are reserved for that sort of a
job.

1T is RUMoRED that the Commissioners
will, in their forthcoming report, recon-
mend the resurrection of the ancient plan
of special improvement tax to cover some
portion of the expense of street paving.
This wonld be grand and lofty project. 1t
would probably meet the views of every
citizen who has been fortunate enough to
secure the paving of all his own street front
or fronts under the general fund act. The
fact that it would be beastly outrage upon
the rest of the community need not be
taken into account. We hope the rumor is
untrue.

COMMENTING on Lieutenant Green's re-
port on streets and paving, the able editor
of our esteemed evening contemporary sug-
gests that the completion of our paving sys-
TEN could be expedited by rcimposing in
some form the old special improvement tax
on abutting property. This suggestion
causes us to suspect that the streets on which
the property of the able editor abuts have
all been paved under the gencral-fund law.
The able editor is a patriot. He is willing
that all his neighbors should pay special
taxes

Horrible Saw Mill Accident.

One of the most frightful, sickening
accidents that has taken place in this
section for many years occurred at
Reck & Hassel backs mill, near Blacks
Corners, Clarion county, last Saturday
morning about nine o'clock. The un-
fortunate man was Lawsonham Smath-
ers, who had done the edging on the
mill since last fall. The edger is one
which feeds itself, and has several roll
ers with iron teeth to catch the lumber
and run it through. The young man
was leaning over the saw at the time
fixing something about the machinery
when one of the rollers caught his
clothes, and before he could release
himself pulled him down, his head
striking the saw, which cut it diago-
nally across the forehead and under
the ear, almost totally severing the
head from the body. Men rushed to
his assistance, but the work was inStan.
tsneous, and he was past rescuing
Quicker than thought. He showed
signs Of life for nearly ten minutes
after the horrible occurrence. He was
carried to the house and his remains
nicely cared for by Mr.. F. M. Rsckl
one of the proprietors of the mill.
The unfortunate victim was a young
man aged about % years of age, un'
married, and his parants live in Helen
township, Clarion county. He was
known and respected as a man O.
steady and Industrious habits, und wa'
we'll thought Of by his employers anC
all who kew him.

Last Thursday Stephen Taft hauled,
with Wheeler g. Dusenbury's team,
8, 1856 feet Of pine logs from their log
Job on Otter, to the mill at East Hick-
ory, distance of six miles. The load
was eleven feet high, and was made up
of ten green logs, with the bark on,
right fresh from the saw. The logs
were not picked with reference to a
Iarqe load but we're taken as they came
on the skidway-tWo twelve-toot butts
and eight sixteens. Weight of team
2,275 lbs. Taking into consideration

BILLIG- -RUSSELL.-At the residence
of T. d. Collins Esq, at Beaver Valley,
this county, on Monday morning, two
minutes past II O'clock, February p,
1881, by Rev. j. T. Hill, Mr.. Henry
Billig, Of Venango county, and Miss
Susan Russell, of Warren county.
There is a moral in the above mar
riage notice which all contemplating
the hazardous step should stop to
consider. The couple came to Rev.
Hill on Sunday evening to be Joined,
but that gentleman possessing consid {
cradle knowledge of the laws Of the
land, as well as those ofthe good book,
knew that the Supreme Court had de-
cided that marriage was contract,
and all contracts made on Sunday
were null and void. But as ministers,
generally, dislike to lose q job Of this
kind-for reasons best known to them
selves-the reverend gentleman sug-
gested that the ceremony be postponed
until Monday morning, which sug-
gestion was acted upon, and the happy
two we're made one and may they
ever prosper.

psath Of Mrs. AIloe c. Babco0k.


We are called upon this week to
chronicle tho death Of this most esti-
mabls and highly esteemed lady.
Death came to her relief about 8
o'clock on Wednesday evening last,
and she expired apparently with little
pain, after bearing for nearly thirty
hours without murmer, the
agonies Of the terrible scaldipg re-
ceived in the railroad disaster. Human
aid seemed of no avail, and nothing
could be done except TO mitigate her
suf1erings as much as possible. The
last obseques took place from the
house of her father, Mr.. T G. Jackson,
on Friday last, and we're attended by
large circle of friends. We never
attended funeral where the sympathy
was more general, deep and genuine
than on this sad occasion. The servi-
ces were performed by Rey. j. F. Hill,
of this place .swhose sympathetic dis
course was consoling and appropriate.
ALP o'clock the special train, which
was waiting at the depot, and which
had brought large number of friends
from Franklin, stated for Warren,
where the deceased had passed her
youthful days, and where her remains
were laid,to rest in the beautiful Gem
etery Of that place; A large number
attended from this place. Owing to
some misunderstanding as to time OF
starting from franklin, many of the
LADY friends of the deceased who had
arranged to attend were left. Among
the gentlem en- present we're, l.. Chap
man, John Lamberton, Ex-Sheriff
Horton, John Hope, Fleming and
Wm. Elliott, Tbos. Alexander and
many others whose names escape u.s.
Mrs. Alice G. Babcock was born in
Warren county, January 8, 1858, and
at the time Of her death was aged
twenty-five years, one month and
fourteen days. She was married tc
Charles Babcock on the I'd day o
October, 1879, end Immediately moved
to Franklin, where they lived in happy
union up to the time of the sad disas
ter, when they were on their way tt
visit relatives and friends in Irvinetor
and this place. She was endowed will
many noble qualities of heart ant
g mind, and her amiable, gentle disposi
Q ton endeared her to all who knew bel
d She leaves worthy husband, one child
j a father, mother, two sisters and tw
s brothers to mourn her untimely death
o and these have the heartfelt sympath
d of the entire community, over whlc
It this awful occurrence has cast dee
q gloom. Truly the memory of this eS
y eellent young woman is blessed.
