hustling for an sppointment.-Blizzard.
The grand Jury at Meadville wednes-
day again found three indictments against
@. b., g. w. and T. A. Delamater. chsrg-
cd with ENLIGHTENMENT. The Star SAYS
these cases are liable to drag through the
court for years to come.
Men fritter away their vitality in an at
tempt to settle the question as 10 whence
we came they worry themselves TO death
In trying TO solve the problem as to width
er we are going, but what should be the
ali-absorbing question OF the hour is
where are we at f"-Exchsnge.
Over 200 rabbits and six dozen pheasants
were shipped from Titusville one day last
week for eastern markets. The Herald
says that the rabbits, upon examination,
bore evidence in almost every instance
that they had been illegally caught, there
being no shot marks upon them.
Courtney, Hswley, Smith and Evans,
who tried to rob the Keystone bank Oct. 3
and shot and wounded Assistant Cashier
Heplar, pleaded guilty last week-all of
them to attempted burglary, and the
first two of attempt to commit murder.
They are all apt to get pretty salty sem
fences from the Erie court.
The Franklin news says that +. p.
Hughes, of that city, made an experiment
this season TO see how late potatoes could
be planted and matured in his locality.
After growing a crop of lima beans in a
part of his garden, he planted a potato,
cut into six parts, on the Goth of August,
and on the 9Th of September dug up 76
pound, healthy tubers.
The jury in the Garvin murder case, on
trial last week in P%ittsburg, rendered q
verdict of voluntary manslaughter. The
extreme penalty for this degree is twelve
years imprisonment. Garvin, who is q
young Pittsburg newspaper artist, sho
and killed his wife, Cora Redpath, of Chi.
csgo, the third day after marriage, in a
jealous frenzy. The defence was temper
airy insanity.
A white deer, killed on Bakers run,
this county, was shipped through this city
by express Saturday. The deer was kill
ed by George S. MeCartey, of Dsuphin,
Dauphin county. The head OF the deer
was of the usual color, but the body was
snow white. 1t is the only one of the kind
ever killed in this county and is said to be
the first killed in the State for twenty
years, the last one having been shot In
Schuykill county.-Lock Haven Express.
Frank Yesger, postmaster of Siverly-
vile, has been held for the court in We
mango county on the charge of aggravated
assault. In performing his duty in July
last Yeager had an alteration with Ed
ward Carr. who died about three weeks
ago. Mrs. Carr ~testifies that Yeager threw
her husband down and kicked him on the
chest. II is charged that Csrr's death was
mainly attributable to the injuries re-
ceived in the alteration with Yeager,
which the latter denies, and expects com-
plete yindication.
The human stomach possesses most
wonderful powers of adoption to circum-
stances. When Lieut.. Bligh and his eigh-
teen men were cast off from the Bounty
by the mutineers in an open boat they
subsisted Al days on an allowance of one
twenty-fifth of a pound of biscuit per man
and a quarter of a pint of water. DR.. Tan
ner in 1850 tasted for forty days, sub
sisting, it is said, on water alone, and
SuccI IL other fasting men have since ex-
celled this. Kafirs, North American In
dams and the "fat boy" in "Pickwick''
may we'll be quoted as fearful examples of
voracity, but even their gastronomic feats
are exceeded by the full grown Eskimo,
who will daily eat twenty pounds of flesh
and oil if he has the chance, while, on the
authority of Admiral Saritcheff, a Yakut
Of Siberia has been known to consume in
"A hours "the hind quarter of a large OK,
twenty pounds of fat and a quantity of
melted butter for his drink"
In his annual address General Master
Workman Powderly gives it as his opin-
ion that all local Assemblies of the Knights
of Labor should be made up of a mixed
membership. He dvocates Capitalization
an organization in which every interest
may be cared for. He commeDds the Sc
cret ballot and thinks laws should be en-
acted TO render it impossible for any per-
son to vote unless he can read his ballot;
he favors the restriction of immigration
and would exclude all immigrants who
are not self-sustaining on landing; he
would fix a term of six years during
which time no immigrant should be per-
mitted to land, with a view of remaining,
unless he could prove that he had sufi-
cient means to sustain himself and those
dependent on him for one year. He de-
clared that there is moro revenue illegally
drawn from the pockets of merchants,
manufactures and workmen in one month
of the year by the railroads and telegraphs
than we pay in tariffs for a year. Said he:
"We must be politicians or the slaves of
politicians. In a word we must be law
makers or law breakers. When we, in
the last extremity, are driven close to
the wall II deprived OF right and
privilege. it is lone through the law. If
the law is obscure or defective, a hareling
judge can always be found to construe in
favor of tie wealthy against the poor. If
every citizen of Pennsylvania understood
and knew his rights, if he performed his
duty under the law in~telligently and as he
ought 10, M Judge would dare To charge
treason against workmen who but strug-
gled for recognition"
