"Dr. Bordwell's colts got considera

TheCougresebmal Vote of the State
The returns of the Congressional
vote in the State, as computed by the
county return judges, show the follow
ing vote : Straight Republican, 274,
078; Republican-Greenback combina
tion in three districts, 39,210; straight
Democratic, 204,862 ; Democratic
Greenback combination in one district,
11,817; straight Greenback, 99,631;
Independent Democratic, Columbia
district, 3,345 ; Prohibition and scatter
ing, 2,376. Total vote, 696,828. In the
three districts in which the Republi
cans and Greenbackers combined the
latter only furnished about 4,000 votes,
so that the real Republican vote for
Congressmen is about 800,000. Hen
drick B. Wright drew nearly hulf his
vote, 11,733, in Luzerne county, from
the Democrats, and the vote east for
Brockway in the Columbia district
was almost entirely Democrat. Giving
the Democrats credit for these votes,
their total vote is about 275,000. The
Greenback Vote, with the 3,000 cast for
Yocum in the Centre district, 1,000 in
the two Philadelphia districts, in
which there were combination tickets,
and 6,000 for Wright, is 109,000. The
decreased vote for Congressmen in
comparison with the Governor's vote,
702,000, is mainly attributable to bad
nominations by the Democrats In sev
eral districts. This also contributed
largely to the increased Greenback vote
for Congressmen over that of Gover
nor. During the ten months ending Oc
tober 31st, 1878, the excess of exports
over imports of merchandise was $164,
878,523 greater than during the same
period last year. We are daily extend

same time preserving our protective

On Monday, T. N. Hacket, while
filing a circular saw in his mill, met
with an accident, which probably
made his hair stand on end. He was
standing over the saw, when a boy
employed in the mill pulled the bell

He escaped, however, with a severe
cut on one of his hands. It Was indeed
a narrow escape. Cantcron Press.
The above Is correct except that there
was no "engineer" in the mill at the
time and no boy to pull the "bell cord;''
there was no fire under theengineand
nosteani in the boiler, and It would
have taken a four mule team to start
the saw. T.N. Hacket got his hand
siightly scratched, but that was caused
by his carelessness in striking it
against a saw-tooth while engaged in

building to watch the workmen. Sud

the men on the roof Were hurled into
the air, and many ot the bystanders
were stricken down with fragment of
Iron or lumber. Owing to the neglect

Marvelous exhibition of profes

man, in great agony. Professional
measures progressed until the birth of
the child, which was a plump, nine
pounder, but bereft of life. Here it
was that the most wonderful case of
rescuscitation we ever heard of took
place. Leaving the mother In charge
of two or three ladies of experience in
such matters, the physician turned his
attention toward saving the child
After removing from its mouth all
mucous substances, he immersed it
alternately in hot and cold water. He
then placed it in the oven, but not
finding that locality warm enough to
produce the desired result, the coals in
the stove were raked over and the child
held over them, Still discovering no
signs of returning life, he inflated its
lungs by the usual means of artificial
respiration. .Evidences or lite were
then noticed, the infant giving an oc
casional gasp. Hot and cold baths
were next repeated, as also were the
means of artificial respiration, until
life was' actually restored. Fully half

says i "Nearly two years" ego" I wrote
you saying that God had sjnt me to
you for $750. I have not yet heard

Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
or rsovemueraa, i will say that I await

sented through the regular chanuels.
It may be worthy of inquiry where
wis ninarance or mistane lies, inas

like yours, in form 1112 me of the Lord
will, but Without the Lord's signature
and without autbcutlo commercial
paper;
