LEBANON, PA, March 25.-John Ben
son, aged thirty-fve, prominent lawyer
of this city, has suddenly disappeared,
and his whereabouts is unknown. 1t
has been learned that he took S25, 200 in
money belonging to prominent persons OF
this place, which he received for the pur-
pose of safe investment. The money
was given mostly by ladies in
sums ranging from $500 to
81 900. Benson's friends state that
he went away on business trip, and will
return shortly. He is well known
throughout this county; was a church
member, and leaves a wife and four chill
dren who are greatly worried over his
absence. He has property to the value
of several thousand dollars, but on ex-
animation of the records at the Court
House it is found to be mortgaged to it's
full value, leaving nothing to his family
or creditors.
The disappearance mas created great
excitement, and is the sole topic of con-
versatiOn here tonight. Benson's friends
endeavOred at first to keep the matter
quiet, but as the number of persons
learned to be his creditors increased
every minute, they at last ceased to de-
fend him. 1t is thought still more start
ling developments will be made known.

Terrible Suffering and Sickness.
WHEELING, w. VA, March 27.-The
condition of affairs in the foodless coun-
ties of the interior is growing desperate.
The frozen streams and hard roads rem
der It almost impossible to afford aid with
any speed. The people Of the State are
earnestly at work and will render abun-
dant relief as soon as the destitute can
be reached. In many instances the
whole bill of fare for three
months has only been parchcd
corn and sorghum molasses. The Par
kersburg papers recite instances Of ter
rible suffering and sickness, and state
that traveller counted in one days Jour
ney thirty head of dead cattle, a NOR
tality that is frightful for the number
owned. Kanawha, Richie, Peasants,
Writ, Nicholas, and Braxton County
Courts have all met in special ses-
sion to provide means of relief.

not be done without paving the whole

we cannot see why the bitches may
not be opened and the filth of the
sidewalks carried oil, even if the
streets cannot be paved.
Take the north side of Austin ave-
nue. from Eighth down, and in wet
spell, such as the one now prevailing,
aud IL is perfectly awful. We will
back it for quantity and quality of
filth against any similar territory ON
the earth. This mass of rotting filth
is kept stirred up by the horses
hitched to awning posts all along, and
it is distributed very impartially on
the plank and rock walks, upon the
clothes of the passers and on the We
hicles in the vicinity. Every time a
horses's boot is set down in this
pntrid mass a crop ofvapors is turned
loose which for ofTcnsiveness and gen.
cral horror is unmatched by a Calves
ton slaughter house in August, and
we used to think they were the
most loud-smelling institutions on

Perfectly Feasible.

In order to do away with the dis
ease-breeding filth in the cutters, on
the sidewalks, and IN the streets OF
Waco, let the city pass MI ordinance,
forcing all property-holders TO dig
bitches in front of their property; let
the city do the ditching across the
streets, and let the city further pave
these bitches with brick, II it is found
cheaper to use them than stone. Thus
at very tri1iug cost, Waco could
provide the means TO carry OF into
the river, the greater part Of tho filth
which now renders the place both I'M
slightly aud unhealthy. The grades
for these bitches could be fixed by the
city engineer, without additional cost
to the city, and we doubt not, but
that an arrangement could be made
with the water company, by which
these bitches could be flushed at least
once in every twenty-fonr hours.
II Is nothing to the credit of Waco,
that some such easy and common
sense arrangement has not been
made long since, especially, when II
