The act passed by the Legislature "to
make persons charged with crime competent
witnesses in this State," provides s'shat in
the trial of all indictments, prssentments,
warrants and other proceeding against per-
sons charged with the commission of felo-
nies, offenses and misdemeanors, the person
so charged shall, at his own request, but not
otherwise, be competent witness, and his
failure to make such request shall not create
any presumption against him, ner shall any
reference be made to, nor any comment be
made upon such neglect or refusal.

AT HoME.-We wee gra.ifed this week
with visit from MIR. John Purcell, of this
county, who has just returned from visit
to the western part Of Ohio. Whilst Mr..
Purcell thinks that Ohio is a splendid coun.
try, he says that the Valley of Virginia is a
much better. Mr.. Purcell knows whereof
he speaks, having travelled extensively. BY
the way, he was one of the original Califor-
MIA gold diggists-a veritable 40 man
having contracted the gold fever in lS49
and made his way to the Eldorado across the
plains in company with band of young
men who started from Charlestown, W. Va.
But neither golden nuggets nor the charm
ing climate of the Pacific slope could wean
him from tho love of old Virginia, and he
returned to his first love after an absence of
few years much improved, We believe, in
wisdom and wealth. WincAester Recs.
Our office nsighbor, e. NJ. Aisquith, ESQ,
who was one of the same party of California
gold diggers, gives his emphatic sanction to
everything which is spoken above in regard
to the superiority of the Valley of Virginia.

Why fell those tears from Him who stood
Beside that love- watched grave
Whose call should summon back life
Whose very voice should save
That saddened group from weary pain,
Release each heart from grief,
And wake in many Il taithless soul
That heavenly pulse-belief?
Why wept He? Not alone for him
Who lay in lifeless rest
Nor loving friends, who mourning knelt
Above that faithful breast;
Oh mo, those holy drops were shed
For many an aching heart
Not beating yet-but soon to learn
Our earth'S great woe-to part.
For Jesus loved the world that lay
Before him in its blight, -,
And who can tell what scenes unrolled
Before his pitying sight;
How oft within that little pause,
The hidden future gave
That vision back-the dropping head,
The goodbye, and-the grave.
Perhaps He saw earth's surface strewn
With groups OF mOnrner's pale,
And felt the air grow thin and sharp,
With sorrows lonely wall;
While shrouded forms lay still and cold
Within each circle fond,
And Death stood gathering up the links
From every severed bond.
And then-He saw that one new grave
Wherein man had not lain, ..
But where the "sting" and "victory"
Together should be slain.
Twas then-He spake, and bade to life,
AS one day, he shall call
From out their graves in earth and sea,
The sleepers, great and small.

The long standing suit against the Packer
estate is once more engr0ssing attention In
Carbon county On Wednesday, September
7, the case was brought up in Argument
Court in Mauch Chunk. Hon. S. S. Dreher,
of Stroud>burg, is the President Judge, and
Associate Judges Leonard and MeenSden are
on the bench. The counsel for the plaintiffs
are +. Carroll Brewster, Esq, Hon. j. W..
Campbell and Judge William A. Porter, of
Philadelphia. The counsel for the estate
are Ferman Shepard, Esq, George w. Biddle
and George Biddr. of Philadelphia. 1t is
well understood that the claims of the plain
tiff involve vast amount of money, and are
founded on contract said to have been en-
tered int, 25 ars ago. in which it is a.
to Noble. Hemmet g. Co.. a two.tenths por-
ton of the capital stock Of the Lehigh Valley

HYGIENIC VALUE OF MIRTH.-Mirth has
an hygenic value that can hardly be overra-

Nature sees her purpose defeated, and the

On the same principle an existence Of joyous
drudgery seems to drain the springs of health,
oven at an age when they can draw upon the

with its sinking pulse the strength of f ebbs

literally starving for lack of recreation. and

NEW RAILROAD CENTER.

1t nov looks as though a town of some
importance is likely to spring up on the
north side Of the Rio Grande River at a
point four miles north of Ell Paso. Here
the Southern Pacific Company have To-
Gated Is blocks of land; the Texas Pa
cifc Company have located the same
amount, and the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Company were at last accounts
making a like selection of ground. The
Texas Pacific road promises to complete
their road to this point one year from
this date, and the Southern Pacific prom
ises to extend their road through to the
Gull. Both the Atchison Topeka and
the Southern Pacific will have their roads
running into this embryo town within
the next 60 days, and Immediately there
after the former will push on south to-
wards the City of Mexico and the latter
on to the east through the great State Of
Texas. If all of these promises are full
filed the new town in n year from this
date will have what is equivalent to six
railroads-three to the east, one to the
south and two to the west. So that the
new town will at least become q great
railroad center and a town of consider
able Importance without any other re-
sources than that furnished by the rail-
roads centering into it.

ders Of the Democratic members. This
Is a clear-cut acknowledgment that the
Republicans regard themselves as be-
ingin the wrong all through this deadlock
business. We have no doubt that they
wonld willingly change front and get on
the Democratic side of the question if
they could. But they will hardly be al
lowed to make so complete a somersault
without serious opposition. They have
deliberately obstructed the public bust
ness for more than two months, and no
matter what tactics they may resort to

country will hold them to q strict &C.
