Inspecting the Routes

The Reading Railroad Company, for "A
week or two past have had engineers going
over the ground between this place and Sha-
mokin taking the bearing and points for a
route for the new railroad between the towns
named We understand they rather favor
the route by Roaring creek. Latterly they
have been taken to Sunbury by Mr.. S. VOL
vcrton to investigate what advantages II
route by that ancient borough can offer The
difference from Shamokin to Milton by Sun
bury would be following the two sides of the
triangle, while by Danville the route would
follow the hypothcnuse. Again, the route
by Sunbury would afford no coal market be-
tween Shamokin and Milton, while Danville
itself would open up market for hundreds
of thousands of tons. -DdurWe fieHiyeacer

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMoCRAT BToOsBUR COLUMBIA COUNTY, Pa

We propose to publish from time to time II
list of deeds recorded in the office of the
Recorder of this county. 1t is done not at
the request, nor even at the suggestion of
Mr.. Sterner in order to advertise the bus-
ness of his Office, but simply as a matter of
public interest Everybody is interested in
transfers of real estate, and the people of
distant townships have the same right to
know what changes of property have taken
place as the citizens Of Bloomsbury, who can
examine the records at any time There is
one class of people who will object to the
publication of deeds recorded, and they are
those who make transfers of property to de-
fraud creditors, and therefore want IL done
in secrecy. The business of the Recorders
Office is public and everybody has n right TO
know IT,.

There is n shameful abuse that attention
needs to he called to. 1t is that Of laying the
burden of funeral services upon ministers
with scarcely II thank you, and never Il com
pensation. To do such service for member
of his own church, or under certain crcum-
stances for II member Of another church-for
a person who is interested in church work.
and gives of their means for the advance
ment of the churchs interest, there is no
minister but would deem it nothing but SIM
pie right without thought of compensation.
But even then there would be nothing but a
touch of righteousness in granting the minis
ter compensation for service rendered. But
the abuse comes in on the part of the people
who never scarcely attend any church who
never give anything for the advancement of
Christianity or, if anything, IL stinted little.
When death comes to their families they
| want minister. They send for him, and
take hours OF his valuable time. Sometimes
he has to hire II conveyance; sometimes pay
for the care of that conveyance and for his
own entertainment. But for that service
| there is never Il penny that in his pocket
chinks gratitude against its fellows. The
undertaken is paid; the grave digger is paid
the liyerymNn is paid; the doctor is paid
everybody is paid, and in full value but the
minister And yet he renders the most cost.
| ly service. The thought that he serves them
with has cost him years of time and hun
| dreds of dollars. He has greater capita
| in trade than the undertaken. He gives Il,
| much time to this special service as the un-
dertakcr. But then che is only minister
let him wait for his pay until he gets tC
| heaven" But there is one great difficulty in
| that waiting The man who is mean enough
| to take such service from minister withou
| compensation, is too mean to ever rcacl
| heaven; and so even in that blissful land o
| gold, there is no compensation for doing Il
service for a family, too mean to pay tn,
minister. We protest earnestly against any
| one not member of II minister's church, o.
| a supporter Of it, taking the service of IL min
iser at funerals without giving him al
adequate pay. The person who does tax
such service without paying for it, is simpl
mean, very mean indeed; mean enough t
corrupt graveyard. ET

4 very Grave Charge.

The community was startled on Thursday
afternoon of last week, by the report that the
wife of Charles Krug had died very sudden
ly at the house of jeremiah Gross in Scott
town. The story proved to be true, and
subsequent investigation brought TO light
some terrible facts
Certain circumstances connected with Mrs.
Krug's death aroused suspicious in the minds
of her relatives and at their request post
mortem examination of the body was made,
by DR.. Gardner and DR.. McKclvy. As re-
suit of this examination Mrs. Gross was ar
rested on Sunday afternoon charged on the
oath of Wellington Ycagcr, Mrs Krug's
brother, with having attempted to produce
an abortion which resulted in the death of
Mrs. Krug. The accused was committed to
Jail for II hearing on Monday morning.
At that time further poStponcment was had
until Tuesday next, and Mrs. Gross was held
in $1,000 bail, in default of which sum she
was committed to Jail. AS may well be i'm
agincd the case has caused great excitement,
for such II crime rs is charged against Mrs.
from publishing the many floating rumors
relative to the affair, because no hearing has
been had and of course no facts legally cs-
tabished. The penalty for the crime is II
heavy fine and II long term of imprisonment
in the pcnitcntiary.

All the merits of the eucalyptus tree have
not hitherto been recognized. Reports have
recently come from Australia that its leaves
are the special abhorrencc of allinsccts which
prey upon fruit trees, against whose depre-
dations they furnish perfect protection if
the ground beneath be only strewn with them,
If, however, it be ucsircd to make assurance
doubly sure, it is only necessary to bind
the fruit trees. These are the first reports,
and experiments now going on in Australia
and in South America will soon show whcth-
er they are true or not.
