The venerable Archbishop of Tusm has
Joined hands with his colleague Of Cashel
in dcnouncing tho anti-ren. manifesto Of
the Land League. This is drnunca-
ton that will carry with it even greater
weight than that Of Archbishop Crohe.
The aged prelate of Tuam, now past his
ninetieth year, has won tho affections of
the Irish Catholics by life OF beneGc N:
labor. He is deeply and descrvedly rcver-
onced, and with many what he recon-
monds will have all the weight Of law.
An alleged New York correspondent of
the NeIo Era writes to it as follows: "It
would be i graceful tribute would the
Democratic Senate place the colonel in his
former position as secretary, but the Sen
ate will not. The Southern members of
that body, and the followers of Penllctcn
and Voorhees,, will never forgive the colo
mel for the part he took in fighting copper
headisin and secession and am assured
that, though Colonel Forney is said to be
candidate for clerk of the next House of
Representatives,, lie will stand no possible
show of being elected to the pos;tion.'
As both the Senate and IIoaae will be con-
tro!led by the Republicans. The above
correspondence is rs startling to the public
as it is valuable to our e. C.
AN honorable service of more than half
a century Of journalism terminates with
the prospective retirement of Levi l..
Tate, Of the Lycoming CNroaicie. Mr..
Tates's fifty years in the harness; have
been cventful ones, and his Course as an
editor has ever reflected the highest credit
upon the newspapers with which he has
been succe ssively connected. His skill as
a writer and journalistic ability have ever
been joined with strict integrity and recti-
tude Of purpose, while his judgment in
discerning wrong and courage in condemn
ing it have given his trencllant pen 10 little
force in moulding public opinion, and in
the counscls of the Democracy, which
party has always had his ssauncll adhc-
sion. Mr.. Tate's latest venture was the
of the Lyccming CAroair!c,
a promising young Democratic weekly,
printed at Williamsport, which is now
offered for sale in the .inal retirement
from the business.

That Hannst0wn Horror"

The alleged MURDER of Frederick
Dolley, of IIahnstown, does not pan out
as we'll as some Of CUR sensational Con-
temporaries wished it might. The facts
are that Dollcy's neck was broken by a
fall from hay-now. Deputy Coroner
kcmrcr empinclcd the following named
jurors to hold an inquest Geo. &. Treso,
James D. Trego, Jacob Miller, Eli Trego
r. S. killian and Ellis Hcrdrickson. Drs.
F. G. Ibach, J. Armstrong and S. Sheafler
were present at the post-mortem and
testified that death had resulted from q
broken neck, and the jury so found. The
alleged suspicious circumstances in
this case are that there were three
brothers on the jury that the deputy cor
oner withheld the verdict from the Both
of September to the 18th of October that
some of the jurors and one of the wit
nesscs (nOt one Of the doctOrs) are rather
disrcputablc characters, and that certain
boy, whose name is not given heard some
body say that the man was murdered to
get 5000 insurance. As far as is vet known
the evidence of foul play is very slight
indeed.
