THERE is but little variation one
week from another in the news from
Ireland The Land League agitation
continues to be as active and aggressive
as ever and numerous arrests under the
Coercion act continue to be made in var
ious parts of the country. In all her un-
successful struggles to better the condi-
tiOn of her people, Ireland has never
failed to be cursed with a numerous
brood of that most detested class, known
the world over and only to be despised
as the Irish InfOrmer," and the crop
this year is represented to be as plenti-
ful as iC has ever been heretofore. Is
the year 1882 destined to go out, and
the wrongs and prosecutions of brave,
but unfortunate, people still 20 be pa
tiently endured

THE death of Hon. John Cresswell,
Of HOllidaysburg, which occurred on
last Sunday, will be learned with feel
ings of sincere regret by every one who
knew him. His health had been feeble
for a considerable time past, and his
death WAS not therefore a sudden or un-
looked for event. He was a most gen.
erous hearted man and had troops of de-
voted friends. As lawyer ne occupied
q high rank among the members Of the
Blair county bar, and was regarded as
one OF its best advocates. In 1858 he
was elected te the State Senate from
this district, and was reelected in 1856,
bis opponent being ths late Alex. c.
Mullen, .hsn q citizen Of this place. He
was elected President pro tenn of the
Senate before it adjourned in 1859, the
last year Of his term, and was succeeded
in Office by Louis w. Hall. We do not
know his age, but suppose he was about
sixty-dYer Peacs to his ashes.

THERE is a Judge Cox in Washing

the country owing to the position he oc-
cupied in relation to the trial of Guit-
eau, and there is Judge Cox in Mime

share Of public attention in that State.
by reason of his being impeached and
on trial before the state Senate for var
ious high crimes and misdemeanors. His
full name is Hon, T. st. Julien Cox. He
Is a Democrat and is President Judge of
the Ninth district and although the
district is strongly Republican he beat
his opponent clean out of sight. How
he did il no one seems to know, but SIM

signed and thus avoided conviction and
removal from office, hut he wouldn't do
it, maintaining that he can't be i'm
peached except for treason, high crime,
or misdemeanor, and that he'll ''be

son, high crime, or a misdemeanor,

know better. Two other Judges in the
same State, both of whom are Republi-

they are patiently waiting to find out
whether or not the Senate VIII endorse
the doctrine held by Cox, that chronic
drunkenness is not a good ground for
impeaching a Judge.

remedy, that wins golden opinions from all
who use it for any humor, from the common

twelve millions and a half were paid in 1881.

who are III prison will not enjoy their medals
much, but all of them who are in Office can
wear each his pound of bronze proudly, aud
bid the world to behold the reward of merit.
Oh how it will cheer the heart of Mouat in

will be awaiting him when he gets out, to pin
to the lapel of his coat.
