The Politician of Somerset County Who Was an Ex ceptional Character. j pQ2S ALILITIZS. A Man Made on Purpose Hit Kind Complete ia Htm." CorrespoDdence oi the I'hiiidtlihla Times. Somerset, Pa., April 23. I write to-day from a noted locality, the seat of justice of a county noted for iu production of numerous distinguish ed, men, of one of w hom especial mention is made. Somerset county has no navigable etream, ia situated far inland and for a long time was in an equal degree cut oft' from the advanced civilization of the Atlantic coa?t and the sturdy enterprise of the Mississippi valley, yet notwishstanding the general lim itation and restraint of life under 6uch circumstances there is no coun- ty in the state more remarkable for the production ol men ot marc. Somerset, which lies among Lne mountain counties of Pennsylvania, spread over the junction of two ridg es of the Allegheny chain, which gives General Ogle's theatre, and its people who cast the company for the drama ot his lHe were in suck keeping with him as if they had been made for him and he for them. Alexander Ogle was an exception ally heroic character, as were Napol eon, Cromwell and Jackson. Doc tor William Elder, in a sketch of General Ogle savs : He was not one of a litter. He was made on pur pose, and in his kind was complete in him. He was of a creed " which leaves no heirs and needs no succes sor." He was the patriot politician of Somerset county, the acknowledg ed great man of the woild he lived in. Although not an educated man as he owed nothing but reading and writing in his mother tongue and simple arithmetic to the schools, his instincts were large and true, his feelings so honest and earnest and all bis alms so juet and generous that he always found the truth and right by sympathy with their senti ment and was ever sure of ths re quired inspiration at the moment of his ceeit. w hue he was not deeply read in history, civil policj, law or general literature, knowing no art or science as a system, he was none the less equal to any emergency. Such was Lis native strength and readi ness at ail points that in a represen tative career of forty years in the State and National Legislatures and the incident contact with the great men of politics, he was never non plussed by his defects of education. In public debate and conversation he was remarkable fer tact, blunt wit and effective eloquence ; besides be had a voice and manner of decla mation which insured the reception of every thing he uttered WHO OGLK WAS. . -i Alexander Ogle was a man six feet two inches in height, finely pro portioned, with great depth of ebest He was a man of courage and confi dence, and at the age of forty-five was the acknowledged great man ot the world be lived in. He was a very singularly odd man, not a whit made up or afftcted and without an iota of pretence in him. He was as honest as steel and as open as day light He was all alive ; every mo ment had its purpose and every ac tion a determinate drifL He knew everything, could do everything and took the responsibility of everything. He was the patriotic politician of Somerset county and for half a cen tury did its thinking, managed its business, projected its public roads and every great improvement in the policy of its community. General Ogle, was a Democrat a Democrat in the best significance of the term. I deem it pertinent to the subject of this correspondence to give a few extracts from a fourth of July oration delivered by the General, which I copy fiom a book entitled Terioscopes on Current Subjects, Extemporaneously Treated," by IV. Wijiiani Elder, published in 1S54. The oration was delivered at Coffee Spring a mile Eist of this town, in 1S33. The meeting was made up of the people of the town and of the neighborhood, mustered en masse, Iu the course of his remarks the General said: "My dear fellows, you don't un derstand it, but it is clear aa light that the Lord reigneth and the dev il e a fool. I know it ; iu threescore years aud ten I never saw the right eous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. Stretch yourselves up in tb light; sweli your breasts in the up-1 per air. If yeu go noauig about in the dirt for a living and dozing in the mud for enjoyment the Ehadow of a leaf will hide the whole heaven from your sight Pigs have no pros pects. They grunt when they are com fot f able' and squeal when tbey are hurt, and they don't understand the course of things. And if any fine fellow here finds his bristles ris ing he knows who I mean ; by . the parable, I was among those green hills my dear fellow ar tizans, before the oldest of you were born, and snipes and night owls, did vou ever detect onv humbug in me? If you did, out with it I'm so tired of barking that I wonld like to make a bite. Try your teeth on this rough old hide, ye whippersnappers. There's blood in me that would make you drunk as blazes for the rest of your lives and give yea - your first peep of glory that ever opened upon your benighted souls. Didn't I tell j your respectable daddies that they j were making fools of tbemselrew in the whiskey insurrection f When Washington came to Bedford witn his army the Allegheny MountaiM rocked under his footsteps the di minutive manikins that danced like drunken monkeys around their pig nut liberty-pole in the diaroowl over there trembled in their Bboee until you could heif their toe-nails jingle. I was a Democrat, a Jefler- eoaian Democrat, then, as 1 am now. knt T ..cnt dimterums a raerarr! or a broad-mouthed brawler against 1 hit country its laws and its Consti- tution, .

MAY 6, IS85. what a rumpus them same ninnies raised around me for the first wagon road over the mountains to Pittsburg. It would break up the pack-horse men, forsooth, and the tavern-keepers and the berse breeders would be ruined, when one wagon could car ry as much salt, bar iron and bran dy from Baltimore as a whole cara van of half starved mountain frames. , "After a while, when the prosper ity they had which they at first re sisted poured down upon them from a spout tbey went crazy, and I was mobbed again for standing by Simon Snyder's veto of that batch of shin plaster banks which the Legislature chartered by a two-third vote and gave you your keepsakes of Owl Creek and Muttontown bills, and now,wheeling, gee as much too far as you went haw before, you are bel lowing at the top of your voice and the end of your wits against all bank paper, is it an v wonder mat I Keep up my old grudge at the devia for making such people? 'There is a common school system which I have been laboring for until it is at last fairly on foot See that you keep it alive and make answer . . a a i the glorious purpose i its esiaoiisn ment " Don't clip it down to noth ing by your beggarly economy. I wish to the Lord that you under stood thinking as well as you do eating and could feel ' an empty head as painfully as an empty stom ach. Can't you -understand that keeping money in your pockets is not saving it? A dollar in a buck skin purse wiM not breed a sixpence in a hundred years; but employed wisely in the service of the soul or body it will bless the one and glori fv the other. If you cant see the policy of education make a religion of it Introduce your children there, for every good thought is a guardian angel to the dear little lambs. And don't stop just where reading, writing and arithmetic can be worked into dollars and dimes. Carry them through and over this sordid world into God's world up to the circle of the heavens where He eits, governing the universe by His laws. Every discovery into the truths of nature is so lar into coun sel and confidence of the Supreme Ruler. Only the man who has the mind of God is God-like. Now, for heaven's sweet sake, educate your children. You may talk stupidities about the salaries 6f public officers, as you did against me for voting a gentlemanly per diem to the mem bers of Congress, but don't cheapen your schoolmasters till nobody but bankrupts. crioDles, consumptives and other such incapabilities can be got to serve you lor very shabbiness of salary. Buy cheap store goods if you like, for when they wear out vou will know it and can repiace them. Buv anything cheap but cheap talent Don't venture upon that speculation, for you are no judges of the article. The only way for vou to insure the excellence of the article is by liberality of the premium which you will offer for it That will bring the genuine into market and tbebugua will be clearly exposed by the difference in the ring, weight and shine. "I go in, ye see, for the arts of peace, the prosperity ot the people and all that blesses and embellishes the life of man; but I would not forget, on this preat sabbath day of the nation, the glory our country has won on the battle-field and on the wave. It isnt the pluck of the bull dog or the game cock in a sol dier which I admire, but the high souled heroism that chooses liberty above life and knows how to make victory a blessing to the world.

Mr. Leslie, a Canadian postmaster, has invented something worth while, apparentlly. The snow plow at present in Use on railways is most ly a monstrous butting machine. When set to removing a drift upon the track, it dashes into it with all the force that steam can give. If it does not succeed in driving through at once, it only rams the ice more compactly U-gether and increases its Qwn difficulty. Mr. Leslie's invention is not a snow rammer, but a enow cutter. In shape it is a huge, equare-corner-ed funnel, ten feet square. Inside the funnel is a system of revolving blades or knives, that are attached to a screw propeller. The machine is fastened to a platform car, and pushed by a powerful locomotive engine. The engine drived the fun nel, big end forward, into the snow back. The knives, revolving by machinery, cut the snow like sau sage meat ar)d it is turned back ward to the li'.tle end of the funnel. Here it is caught upon a large re volving fan and thrown out 150 feet on each side, or over a 60-foot em bankment. The fan revolves in a a direction opposite to that of the screw, though it is only l-64th of an inch away from it This part of the invention is a wonderful me chanical triumph. ' One machine costs ?10,000. The first one, just now completed, will be shipped to Chicago to be tried on some great drifts of snow near there. The ma chine was built by the Railway Steam Snow Shovel company, Pat terson, N. J. tie Thought So. One of the professors at the Uni versity of Texas is one of the most absent-minded men in tne fctate. Not lone since a gentleman, who was only slightly acquainted with him. asked him? '"Professor, are you married ? The Professor was absorbed in thought for a few moments snd then replied : "Yes. 1 think so; if I am not mistaken." Some Foolish People.

Hcsttngdox, April 23. Further argument for and against the ap plications for liquor licenses was beard by the Court last night The decisions were annotfficed by Judge Furst this morning'. Licenses were granted to nine of the applicants and refused to eleven. Six of the former were from this city. They were call ed before the Court and required to give their personal pledges that they will not sell to persons of intemper ate habits nor to others to whom the sale of liquor is prohibited by law, and that they will close their bars at 10 o'clock at night . The other suc cessful applicants were from War riors' Mark, . Mill Creek, Orbinsona. All the other places in the county will be without licensed bouses. Three of the unsuccessful were also from this city. - Avert Cathartic Pills are the best medicine that can .be employed to correct irregularities of the stomach and bowels.

It was an old practice, and one taking, in many cases, a held poor in character or dithcuit ot cultiva tion, and then setting the entire lot with trees standing anywhere from 25 to 30 feet apart As a rule, as the trees come to maturity all culti vation of crops is prevented because of the outspreading and interlacing of branches, which often is a cause of great inconvenience in harvesting the fruit We have seen orchards in which the branches met in all direction. In such cases the trees are very likely to be neglected, for the reason that farmers are not giv en to spreading manure upon their orchards, unless there is some other crop to be harvested than the fruit It is sometimes the case that hogs are pastured iu such orchards with the very best results, although the thick planting ia to be condemned for two reasons, if not more : first, because it renders harvesting much more difficult and second, because the fruit itself is not likely to be near eo good. A little experience in that becomes of value sometimes. We bave in mind an orchard that was set about twenty years ago; the trees grew vigoreusly, and covered the entire ground ; they bore fruit fairly well and of fair quality ; but while the lot was in grass the getting of it in, the cutting and harvesting was exceedingly troublesome. A3 a result, the owner has within a short been in and cut the entire cen tre of the orchard out leaving only a single row of trees upon the out side of the field. In this way the entire surface of the trees is open to the sunlight, and nearly the entire field can be cultivated, and by the process of cultivation the trees will, through their extended roots, take up all the nourishment they need. It is not always best to cultivate trees by the side of pastures, but in fields adjoining pastures it is often convenient to set a row of trees near the fence. We know of many such cases, and, as a rule, the results are of the most satisfactory character ; the fruit grows te better size, is smoother, and, if colored fruit is of a much richer color. Irobabiy there are many farmers who have in some field a single tree standing alone, who have noticed the above conditions regarding the fruit Now if this principle is carried out in set ting out orchards the results will be much moie satisfactory. Bather than subject aa entire field to dis ease, let a single row of trees be set about the outside, which would in terfere but little with any kind of cultivation or harvesting. The Send berry Case. It seems that Dr. Scudberry, of the United States navy, was married about three years sgo to a lovely young Oakland girl, to whom he had been engaged for a long time. Shortly after he was ordered te join the Asiatic squadron, and only re turned to his bride a few months ago. During his absence his wife determined to employ her time in the study of medicine, which she hoped would prove a delightful sur prise to her husband on his return. Unfortunately, she entered a homeo pathic college, her worser half being of the allopathic persuasion. The doctor was on his way home from the train, upon its arrival, when he saw a crowd around a drug etore, and was informed that a man had just fallen down in an epileptic fit Forgetting his eagerness at ine can of humanity, the doctor rushed into the store, where he was astounded to behold his wife engaged in con sulting the patient's pulse. " hat does this mean " exalaim- ed the astonished surgeon. " Why, I have a surprise for you, darlingj" said . Mrs. Scudberry. "You see, I am a regularly qualified homeopathic physician." " Homeopathic?" sneered the as tonished husband. " Yes, pet" said Mrs. S sweetly, as she got out her pilules ; " this dosing people with buckets-full of slop is getting out of date, pre cious." " And so you have actually been roied in by that gang; ef pellet-peddling ignoramuses, have you ?" i " Dont be rude, my dear." said the female practitioner. " You can't expect to keep up with the march of science in Asia. Just stand back, and let me cave the patient" "Save fiddlesticks!" snapped the allopath. " Woman, go home and cease trifling with human life or perhaps you had better mix a mus tard plaster, while I resuscitate the subject" "Why don't yon two quit fight ing and go to work?" asked the vic tim's wile, who had just decided that she wouldn't look well in black. " When this female person is re moved I shall proceed in the regu lar way," said Dr. Scudberry, stiffly, " I will not be answerable for the consequences unless that old fogy withdraws 1 rejoined D octrees haughtily. " You're husband. quack !" roared the "You're a butcher f screamed his wife. And in this style they went on until somebody announced that the patient had picked himself up and walked off. he being the only person who escaped, as the police arrested the whole crowd for creating a dis turbance. : The divorce case of Scudberry vs. Scudberry is set for the fall term.

The Peri la of the Oleander. The oleander contains a deadly poison in its leaves and plants, and it is a dangerous plant for the par lor or dining room.

But all mcu. whose wives haye kept oleanders, know the perils of that pernicious and deadly shrub twice a yeair when it has to be brought into the house and when it is taken out again. A man who can successfully get a half-grown oleander down a flight of stairs can carry away a bank sife.

Once upon a time the wife of a Roman gladiator planted an olean der in a tub, and autumn and spring she made Rome's fiercest gladiator take it in and take it out Aa the oleander grew, and the tub from time to time was exchanged for a bigger and heavier one, the gladia ator a strength grew until he could carry a full-grown oleander down stairs and through a narrow door without a groan, grunt or skinning his knuckles, and the Queen of She ba came to see him and could nt't be lieve it Cne night in sere October she awoke with a start as the bell in the castle tolled one, and said to him that he bad forgotten to bring in the oleander and there was certain to be a frost that night The savage chief oi still more savage men got up in his robe de nuit and went out doora and began groping around in the dark for the oleander. By mistake he picked up his . neighbor's cottage and four acres of land, as described by metes and LouxuLa, and carried it all down into his basemnt dining room. The oleander remaining out over night, froze to death. The poor wife died of a broken heart The neighbors sued the gladiator for misappropriation of funds, and the gladiator was given his choice. by the court, of dying or fighting some one.

Numerous inquiries have been made this spring us to the method of grafting the grapevine, but to be useful tWsswfm.- .ee of the writers propose to take wild grape vines, and use them as stocks upon which to graft desirable varietis. This would be very poor economy. An old vine ot any kind is rarely worth removing, and least of all, a wide one. Such vines are poorly furnished with roots, and would make very poor stocks. If one al ready ha3 an old vine of a poor va riety, and wishes to graft it with a more desirable kind, he can do so by digging down and inserting the ci ona below the surface of the ground The proper season for this operation is in the fall, when vegetation is at rest If the old root is in a healthy condition, a very vigorous growth will follow. Another method of grafting is to insert the cion in a strong cane, or branch of the vine, 1 selecting one that may be bent down and bave the union of stock and ! cion, with a joint or two of the cane covered with sciL The method known as whip-grafting is employ ed, the cion and stock being held to gether by a tie, instead of wax. The grafted cane is then laid in a shallow trench, in such a manner that a bud or two of the cion will be above ground. This, it will be seen, is a combination of layering and grafting The cion is nourished at first by the old vine, but in the course of the season, the buiied - portion of the cane will produce abundaat roots, and in the fall may be separated from the parent plant This opera tion should be performed early in spring, before there is danger of co pious "bleeding," which might pre vent the union. It may also be done upon the new growth, after the shoots of the season have become sufficiently matured, in this case us ing cions of similar new growth. This method with new wood we have not tried, but it is said to be successful Nearly all of our hard grapes are grown so rapidly from cuttings, and come into bearing so soon, that this is the usual and least troublesome manner of propagat ing them, American Agricultural ist.

She left the room, but came back in a few minutes with a married friend and sat down on the sofa, again. Soon she began to yawn and gave very ostensible proof of being thoroughly bored. Finally she said : I'm dreadfully sleepy, and I hope you'll go home. You musn't take any onense at this. Ail the Louis vill girls act the same way. You are exceedingly tiresome, and yon had better go home at once. Don't be offended at this it is simply a way I have." He stood not upon the order of his going. Thousands Say So. Mr. T. W.
