He has not been here for twenty-nine years and is only ac quainted with citizens who have seen a good many summers. He emigrated to Ohio in 1S24, fifty-six years ago. Christian Miller, drover, who resides near Xew Lexington, met with an accident on Saturday night last which well nigh proved fatal. The heuvy rains had swept the planks from a bridge, and Mr. Miller in attempting to drive a horse across, found the animal and himself precipitated into a swollen stream, from which he emerged thoroughly soaked, but glad that his breathing appara tus remained in good order. We have not learned the name of the stream into which Mr. Miller fell, but presume it was one of the tributaries of Middlecreek. Our inform ant states the horse was also rescued. A Remarkable Resclt. It niukes no dif ference how many physicians, or how much medicine you have tried, it is now an estab lished fact that German Syrup is the only remedy which has given complete satisfac tion in severe cases of Lung Disease. It is true there are yet thousands of arsons who are predisposed to Throat and Lung Affec tions, Consumption, Hemorrhages, Asthma, Sci-cre Colds settled on the Breast, Pneumo nia, Whooping Cough, Ac, who have no jiersonal knowledge of Boschce's German Syrup.

Sweab Not at ALL.-udge Pershing of Schuylkill county, lias Jist decided a case in his court, which pnV-nts some almost forgotten features of t law of this State against swearing : A in named Bwhore was fined $16.08 for scaring twenty-four times, being 07 cents foi ach oath. The act of 1794, under which tli justice acted, pro vides that "if any peraofc of the age of six teen years or upwards still profunely curse or swear, by the name I God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, evet f person so offend ing, being thereof con vi hd, shall forfeit and pay the sum of 67 cent or every such pro fane curse or oath. To curse and swear by any her name or thing, is liable to a fine of fort -ents for each curse or oath." The case was appeale o court, and owing to some informality, th .xiurt was compell ed to reverse the proi 'dings. The main point of the decision, ir his case is its pithy conclusion. Judge Pei i ing says : "Tlie general prevalii e of profune swear ing indicates that .the utute under which this defendant was cor icted lias long been buried out of sight. rliaps its resurrec tion in this rase may a omplish some good by showing those wh have no regard for the law of God tliat th law of the land im- poses uiwn them a peiBtr of from forty to sixty-seven cents to bet olUjwed by impris onment, accomjnied it It diet of bread and water, on refusal 0 pay for each and every time they polluBhe atmosphere with their profanity ." tSBSSS Ht-ntiCX DEATH.

Benford, Esq., lias completed the imputation part of the census enumera tion for Somerset borough. The population is 1184; 1105 white and 19 colored. The males slightly preponderate. The increase since 1870 is 235, almost 25 per cent. We give the population of the town at several previous censuses : 1830, 830 ; 1840, 025; lKoO, 902; li0, 1030; 1870,945. The decrease from 1830 to 1S40 can be ac counted for by the first destruction of the town hy fire in 1833. Our people then ap pear to have had less recuperative power than they have now. We are at a loss to account for the deficit from 1800 to 1S70. In the last decade we have been aided materi ally by the railroad, and retarded by the fire fiend. The oldest jierson in town on the first of June was Mrs. Bernard Connelly, 92 years; the youngest Noah Cusebccr's child, one day. In some future Issue we will be able to place before our readers full statistical in formation of every district in the county. Rattlesnakes. Jerome Bowman, of Jen nertown borough, succeeded in capturing lutlf a dozen rattlesnakes, ut the dn on Lau rel Hill, a mile above Judge Henry S. lick ing's, one duy last week. Mr. Bowman in forms us that he came upon a yellow ser Icnt, "the largest and prettiest he ever saw," but was unable to capture it. He exects to have better luck next time. Mr. B. some months since sent fifteen siecimens of rat tlesnakes to the Zoological garden, at Phila delphia. How the old soldier (Mr. Bowman lost his right arm in the war) manages to capture the venemous reptiles is a matter that surpasses our comprehension, but he does it. Fifteen or twenty years ago there was a den of rattlesnakes withintwo miles of the Court House. The boys of that day were in the habit of capturing them by placing a forked stick back of their heads and then throwing them into a toot or bag. It was good fun but very dangerous. ,The snakes at this den have been exterminated. Many of tlie wilder sections of the county are yet jicsterod with their presence, but within five or ten years we shall hear of them no more. Most eople will be satisfied if this is the case. Hon. William M. Hall, President Judge of this (10th) district, delivered an eloquent ad dress in Bedford, on Decoration Day. He paid a tribute to one, born in Somerset, who laid his life upon the altar of his country. O. II. Gaither was the second son of Samuel Gaither, Esq. We take pleasure in publish ing the annexed extract from Judge Hall's ' address : "Let me tell you an incident of the war. From among us here in this village of Bed ford there went out a young lawyer, Oswald Hampton Gaither, in all the health and hope and fond aspiration of young manhood. The patriotism, the valor, the honor of the country had been appealed to by the Presi dent's proclamation, and from the pulpit and the rostrum, to stand by the Union of our fathers. The call of duty sounded so imper atively in his ears that his conscience would not permit him to say no. He left all the happy surroundings of our beautiful village and marched forth to uphold the heroic stars and stripes of our ancestors. On one of the battle fields of Virginia he fell, pierced through the breast with a bullet. As he lay upon his hospital bed, conscious of his ap proaching dissolution, with no mother's hand to wipe the death sweat from his brow, he was visited by a Presbyterian minister, who sjioke to him of the approaching end. He replied, I am prepared to die so far as the consolations of religion are concerned, but oh ! sir, it is hard to die thus, on the very verge of a life that was so full of hope and promise and aspirations of usefullness and fame, but I am consoled by the thought that I perish for the good of my country, that her government and free institutions may live. In a few hours after he was in eterni ty. Angels leaned over the battlements of Heaven with outstretched hands to welcome to aradise the soul of that young Christian Hero." a Fbom Uksisa. Dear Editor. We have had chaff out for that foxy institution, "Ike Marvel," of the Democrat, who has turned another "Hip-flop" and "put his foot in it." Let the hand be gin to play its favorite tune called "Two Pounds o' Brown Sugar," for Ike Marvel, of the Ikmocrat, has again imagined himself a "James in a china shop," and goes into the merits of his lowly vocation, as of old, tliot of misrepresenting men as well as facts, al though 'tis seldom "it" deals with facts.

Ike, in "it's" last nibble demonstrates that "its" head and slioulders is a resident of a remote part of Somerset county; and although we presume "it" never sat ujion the English 'wool sack,' yet doubtless "it" has often rested "its" masive brain upon a 'meal bag.' Histor ians might inform ns whether "Ike" ever enjoyed the luxury of being an adult play mate of one Romanus, or jierhai "Ike" has travelled and cast its orbs of vision upon an Egyptian (Pile), or had its last word with a mummy 3,000 years old, for they never re tort. "Ike" could vilify the mummy with impunity. We would inform "Ike," of the Democrat, that Jake, of the Herald, is of age, and is abundantly able for any intelligent contro versy that "Ike" may wish. We'd advise "Ike" to urge its standard, if "it" wishes to make its correspondence interesting to the readers of the Democrat. "Ike" started out with the seeming dignity of one who might have existed before the Dutch captured Hol land. The next was settled by tlie Caucas sian race, or even before anything had be come stale in Denmark. We take pleasure in recommending 'IkeV prescription (as to vilifying neighbors) for the use of his own gullet. Let him improve by it, and cease to assert what there is no foundation for it. Our short hand writer' have taken in what "it" claims to be a prayer addressed by "Ike Marvel, of the Democrat, to "Our Abe." If "Ike" continues bilious we may have the prayer.

Some schools have no names. Your committee would recommend that each school adopt some specific name by which it shall be hereafter known. 2d. Some schools do not report the aver age attendance. Your committee would re commend that each school supply teachers with "Class Books," and keep an accurate account of attendance. 3. Some schools report no contributions, others beyond the expenses of their schools. and others fail to designate to what appro priated. Your committee would recommend that each school adopt some system of benevo lence, and that all the moneys raised in and by the school, either by the system adopted or by special efforts of the school, be report ed at the annual meeting of the Association, and the objects to which the moneys were appropriated designated. 4. Some schools report r. periodicals at all; others do not report the periodicals of the Lutheran Church. Your committee would recommend that all the schools connected with this organiza tion use the International Series of Lessons, and confine themselves strictly to the Jeri odicals of the Lutheran Church. 5. There are still some schools not ojien during the whole year. Your committee would recommend that all schools make a greater effort to have other schools open during the whole year, and that the average attendance be ascer tained by dividing the total attendance by the number of Sundays in the year. C. Some schools do not report teachers' meetings; others report the average attend ance of teachers. Your committee would recommend that all schools endeavor to have a teachers' meeting, and that the average attendance alone lie reported. 7. We would recommend that the pastors observe the growth of the Church from the Sunday School, and rejiort the same in the blank for that purpose. L. L. SlEBER, G. V. Baker, J. J. Zors. The topic "Perils of the youth of to-day" was opened by C. H. Schmucker and thor oughly ventilated before the Convention.

Whetstone spoke on the subject Should the Lutheran Catechism be used in our Sabbath Schools? If so, how? Conven tion was a unit as to their use, but not so ositive as to the "how." Rev.

The topic "Should the Church Council select the officers of the Sunday School ?" proved to be one of more than ordinary interest. It was ably ojiened by O. P. Shaver, and thoroughly discussed by both ministers and laymen ; ufter which I). Z. Foulk gave a brief exercise on the black board. Rev. Spangler then addressed the audience on "Itcnevolencc in the schools." On motion, the Chair apiointcd the follow ing Kxecutive Committee : Rev. Sieber, (t. W. Pile, J. II. Snyder, O. P. Shaver and Alex. Brubaker. The Committee was di rected to revise the Constitution and the selection of time and place of next meeting committed to their care.

A Suki'iuhk. 1 take this opportunity of thanking those who frought us provisions, dry -goods, joy, sunshine and kind words on the !li day of June, 1HS0; it being my wife's birthday and our welding day. Leaving the provisions and dry-gissis, they were not scllbh with the joy, or sunshine, or kind words; but, after lilicrally dispensing of them ut the dinner table and in the )irlor, they departed, bearing a share with them. The joy of the occasion strengthened us, the sunshine made a bright spot in our home, and the kind words cheered our hearts. Truly, "joy is a prize unliought," while "sunshine warms friendship," and "kind wonts never die." These are moments when sorrow forgets its cares, and misery its misfortunes. Joy springing up with wings of radiant hope, gives strength to buffet the billows tin life's stormy seu, when the sunshine dawns and drives away the clouds, bringing happi ness and 1 leaven to the itinerant and his family. My prayer is for the day when the bread that these people cast ujkiII the waters may return, bringing to them joy ond hap-' piness. J. II. Peksiiixo, Shanksville, Pa. Eiiitob III kald. Sib: Whatever bitterness of feeling may havcjcxisteil between the friends of Crant and Blaine, has been fully harmonized under the banner of Garfield and Arthur. TlieChicagoCoiiventioncou.il not have made a better nomination in the interests of harmony and good feeling. The Grant men, though a little disapiiointed, are well satisfied, and will give the nominees a hearty support, and the Blaine men are all satisfied with the defeat of Grant. Tlie Greeleyitcs and scratchers all agree to sup port the self-made man, believing that they sec in him a second Lincoln. There never was a better party feeling than now, and a regular old fashioned Republican majority may be safely lookd lor this tall. aov let us nave a goon man lor ongress and the 17th Pistrict will be redeemed, and the Republicans made feel as if they were at home oiK-e more. .Somerset county has the casting vote, and if every Republican will buckle on his armor and do his duty to wards his party and his country, the victory will be ours beyond a doubt.

He was a soldier of the war of 1812, and participated in the battle of Lundy's Lane and some of the other bloody conflicts on the Canada border. About forty years ago he removed from the Stiiystown country to Somerset township. In the good old days" of big musters and fisticuff j the subject of this notice was discovered by requirers to be very hard to handle. For many years he has led a moral, industrious life. He raised a large family. He always claimed to be considerably older than eighty seven, but other old citizens state that to be about the figure. A large number of persons attended the funeral on Sunday morning. SCOTT. On Saturday morning, June 12, at his residence in Xew Ccntreville, William Jott, Esi., in the "3d year of his oge. 11.

Special announcements of tho result of each ballot were seceived by Sec retary Sherman in the Treasury building. Blaine had a private wire run in his room where tin operator kept him posted, while the President was supplied with the bitest by the Signal Bureau. There never was more excitement in Washington over the result of a Iresidential elec tion. Sherman seemed to be the coolest man of them all, attending to his business, and reading the result of the ballots with equal apparent indifference, while Blaine could not sit still for a minute at a time. The Democrats took as much interest in the nomination as the Republicans. They talked and sjeculated and nodded at each other knowingly as ballot after ballot showed that a selirtion of a candidate was as far away as ever. They thought a split was bound to come, and when the Blaine forces broke and (icneral Garfield's name came to the front they shyed away and l.xiked, and I have no doubt felt as if each individ- ual Deniiwrat had liecn doused in a bucket of cold water. hen the thirty-fourtn and thirty - nun nanois gave unmistaKaiiie.. evi dence that tho break was at hand the excitement in the house of rej resentatives became very great.

Everv that the house adjourn, and on it a! body is pleased with the pluck yea and nay vote was ordered, YV h lie the roll was being called the excitement increased as the change of state after state to Garfield was reported. In every part of the house members were engaged in earnest conversation, but the roll-call pro- ceded. When the name of Mr. Gar- nem was caneu mere was a clapping of hands and other demonstrations on the Republican side, as was also the case on the second call of the names of absentees. Just as the roll-call was completed a shout went up from the members' lobby and the exclamations on all sides were "Garfield is nominated' which was confirmed by the posting .of the bul tetins two minutes later. The speaker declared the motion to adjourned carried, and with the fall of the hammer all semblance of order ceased ana cheering ana con- ratuhiHons were indulged in with) , .

This was received with cheers, and the motion was unani mously carried. When Mr. Ilawley took the chair the house presented a curious sight. Every chair was occupied, the seats of the absent members I icing filled by spectators, who upon the adjourn ment had crowded into the hall, while in the rear of the scats were groups of men evidently full of ex citement.
