General LangUOr.

Among the list of distinguished militia
ry heroes the names of General Languor
or Debility do not appear. Yet, it is a
well authenticated fact, that there are
times when the pulse beats low in the
bosom and beats feebly in the arteries.
The spirit of the individual is sleepy, and
the whole tendency of the body is toward
rest and decay. At such times and dur
ing such seasons, the system needs toning
up by the use of some good and pure ton
ic which will restore the organs to the
wonted state Such tonic is found in
PERUNA, which is acknowledged by all
to be the very thing to put these famous
generals to rout, and to ultimately con-
quer them. Read the following testimo-
NAL, which shows in what estimation
PERUNA is held, and then send for the
book entitled the "Ills of Life"
COAL CENTER, PA.
DR.. S. B. Hartman & Co.: We sell your
medicine PERUNA, and have a very
large trade on it.

Some persons think it pays to advertise
during the dull seasons; others think diff
ferently. One day last week we passed a
store where, for the present, they do not
advertise. The statesmen were about the
door, idle.
We wish it to be distinctly understood
that this was not Oliver S. Miller's store,
on Main street, opposite the Court House.
Miller advertises all the year round, and
his sales never vary much. He has good
trade all the time. We think that regu-
lar, prudent advertising always pays the
newspaper publisher, if not the adverti-
ser). Now take the Standard and look
for the advertisers, and then go to their
stores. Then go to the stores where they
do not advertise, and you will see the diff
ference.
(Be sure and go to Miller's)

The recent uncertainty in railroad tray
ell revives memories of the early history
of railroading in this county. A citizen
was giving an incident, few days ago,
of the way things were done ON the old S.
& Fl. v, now the Portsmouth Branch.
The train suddedly stopped, one morning,
in an out-of-the-way place, between Jack
son and Portsmouth. An irritable pas
senger came out of the car and accosted
the fireman, as the engineer was gone:
What in the world are you stopping
here for ?"
"Do you see that house, away yonder on
the hill ?" asked the fireman.

all his butter, and we're now aOaiti7ag to1

"Good Tidings Of Great Joy :"

When we went to press last week the
trial of the brutal murderer, Laban Ste
phens was in progress at Waverly. After
the hearing of the testimony, the argu-
ments, and the charge of the Court, the
Jury remained out some two hours, when
they returned a verdict of guilty"
The attorneys for defense made mo-
tion for a new trial, which was overruled
by the Court, when sentence was passed
upon Stephens, fixing May 23d 1884. as
the time when he shall go out of the
world at break-neck speed. The at
torneys speak very highly of the Pike
County jury, and their work would seem
to indicate that they understand testi-
mony when they hear it.
We understand that attorneys for de-
fense will appeal the case to the Supreme
Court, the ground of complaint being the
Judges charge. We suspect, however
that the real ground of grievance to the
murderer's side of the case, is the good
|old-fashioned justice displayed in this
trial. It is high time that this brutal
murderer had his guilty neck broken. He
| has had three trials, in which 35 compe-
| tent jurors nave pronounced him guilty
of murder in the first degree, and one said
he was guilty of murder in the second de
gree or manslaughter. The people Of
Jackson County are getting tired of this
whole murderous gang. The days which
witness the killing of the two Joneses
and Stephens, will witness the righteous
disposal of some exceedingly bad rubbish
There has been nonsense and delay
enough. Let there be little common
sense execution of the law.
When the brute, Stephens was convict
ed and sentenced, he displayed no more
feeling than post. Perhaps three more
depraved and brutal villains than these
three murderers of poor Anderson Lack
ey, were never confined in prison. TIL,

There was fine procession on Broad
way street, on last Wednesday, led by a
trio, the central figure of which was a
man who had been imbibing too freely of
that stuff which, at the last, "biteth like
a serpent, and stingeth like an adder" At
his right hand was policeman; at his
left was colored man who was
acting as supporter. They
were conducting the inebriate to the place
around the corner" where the wicked
are at rest, CD and while the unfaithful
husband is wallowing in his cell, the poor
broken-hearted wife must not complain
of her wrongs-for that would conflict

We heard, a few days ago, another Incl
dent of the boyhood of the late John W.
Jackson, who last May departed this life
at the end of rope: When he was a
small boy, a Mr.. Wade, brother of ex-
Sheriff Wade, of this place, was teaching
school at the Bum School House, near
this place. Jackson attended this school,
One day he had a boyish quarrel with a
school-mate, and shortly afterward
brought pistol to school This was of
course taken away from him, but he af-
terward declared that it was his intention
to kill his playmate with it. This goes to
disprove his claim in his confession, that
bad company and evil associations had
been the cause of his somewhat untime-
ly CD taking off.

Death of Samuel Rush.

Samuel Rush, an old citizen of Jack
son, died on last Wednesday night, and
was buried on Thursday, funeral con.
Quoted by Rev. F. S. Davis of the NJ E.
Church. He was buried in the old grave
yard, in the South edge of town.
Mr.. Rush was nearly Is years of age at
the time of his death, and unmarried. He
was an uncle of Frank Rush, of this
place. Few men who have lived in
Jackson have lived more quiet, inoffen-
sive lives than Samuel Rush. He worked
about town for many years, was at one
time drayman here, and served one
term as Street Commissioner. OF late
years he had been doing chores, garden
ing, moving lawns, &c, and made his
home with John Burt. The old man ex-
pressed his satisfaction, before death,
that he was able to leave behind him
enough to meet his funeral expenses,
without burdening his friends.
After long life, the quiet old man lay
down, at peace with all the world, and
dropped to sleep, perhaps without an
enemy in all the world. Many of the old
men who have been such familiar friends
about town are dropping out. Death has
come to be frequent as well as unwel-
come visitor. Yet there will be many a
fearful eye, as our citizens remember the
good qualities of Uncle Sammy Rush.

temper the wind to the homeless sufferers.

The spring will soon be here, when
your tables will be loaded with vegeta-
bles, fruits. and dozen other nice and
good things. When we were boy, peo-
pie had to eat off pewter plates, and use
wooden spoons. Now all is changed.
Any family can afford nice queensware,
glassware, silver spoons, knives and
forks. Fifty years ago lights were made
of the bark of the shellbark hickory tree,
old worn out clapboards, &c. Some got
so far as to take an old saucer, put strip
of rag in it, put lard upon the rag, and
then fire one end of this wick. Now fine
beautiful lamps are used by all.

: luxuries, cheap? Why, at Mrs. NJ. Gra-
