Henry Bergh, man famous as the friend
of dumb animals, and whose name has be-
come household word in all civilized ma
tions as the founder of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals died in
New York on the 18th inst, aged 65 years.
Judge Garrison is reported as saying,
says the Vineland Journal, that he thinks
case involving the constitutionality of
the Local Option High License law will
be prepared in Cumberland county as soon
as it goes into eft2ct, on May list, and
taken before Judge Reed, by whom it will
be referred, on account of the importance
OF the question, TO the Supreme Court, so
that argument can be heard at the june
term.
The great storm Of last week is still the

sells which sought shelter there on Sunday
March 11th, no less than twenty were

100000 The city of New York paid out

snow from the streets.

tion to the number of passengers of any

quite oue-thrd Of all the passengers were
killed or mortally injured, and those who
escaped without serious wounds, were only
small fraction of the unfortunates ON the
Inflated train, which crushed through the
trestling just after crossing the Hurricane
river, the cars falling forty feet. George
Gould and wife, and President E. p. Viii
bur, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad COM
pany, were among the injured, son of the
latter being killed.

The Philadelphia Record of last Sun
day contains the following dispatch from
Trenton, which we give 10 our readers for
what it is WORTH
A prominent member of the Bar of this
State, in speaking of the New High License
Local Option law, said to-day that the so
called Local Option County option would
be a better title) bill had been drawn ID
such shape as to be imperative, because
the bosses promised the liquor dealers
that. in consideration of making the bill
hard to carry out, two big contributions
would follow. one from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and another from the
Adams Express Company. The bill, he
says, is imperative because the length OF
time between other elections-when cleo
tions under this bill can be had-is only
six days, and the Judge has ten days in
which to grant the proper orders for any
election. 1t is full of legal technicalities
and purposely contains unconstitutional
provisions The Judge before signing the
order for an election must know that the
proper number of legal voters has signed
the petition for the election, and the liquor
men can require, through their attorneys,
proof of this fact, which proof could not
be obtained in the six days. Hence, no
election is possible. Such legislation, he
said, is deal between common carriers
(railroads) and certain brewers in fact,
but, presumably, to temperance men it is
a Temperance measure. In reality it was
intended to deceive.

Nineteen years ago, attlie National Tenn

Ohio, willie the resolution relating to the
formation of Juvenile Temperance Socie-
ties in connection with the Sabbath
schools was being discussed, lady dele
gate arose to speak her approval of the
project An anusual stiffness prevailed
the audience. An unspeakable eloquence
lit up her sad-look ing face as she proceeded
TO enumerate the mseries which strong
drink had brought upon her girlhood.
The audience was almost breathless with
deep attention, until the heart-rending
words burst from her lips in quivering
tones: 81 have been bitten by the poison
Gus serpent. My happy girlhood, youth's
brightest hopes, was poisoned by the curse

assembly Alas! how many broken down,
fragile forms, and sorrow stricken hearts
of American women could pour forth the
same inspiring eloquence. How many
poor, degraded victims of the internal
traffic, how many noble hearts and bril-
liant minds of the iairest, ablest and pur-
est of our land, could they burst the fet-
tors of drunkard's graves, would cry in
piteous tones: "Alas! my father Was a

General Daniel e. Sickles, one of the val

lowing remarkable statement few days
ago. "The war of the rebellion was really

condemnation of business adj
dresses to the public. The
Hebrew King and Poet was
incorrect in his hasty conclu-
sion that "All men are liars. -

Commercial literature in adj

can neither evade the fact nor

Behind the advertising
scenes you may see strange
statements: Thousands of
dozens or pieces or yards, when
the total stock at command is
only scores or hundreds; prices
reduced, when the process of
reduction is to open new goods
and mark two prices at the
same time, high price above,
a lower one beneath it; to
state a value as normal and
with it a reduced price, when
all the time the market has
ruled as low or lower than the
so-called reduction; and SO on
through devious and dubious
statement in scores of forms.

superiority of the Royal Baking Powder in
