Monday night did not come ciR, ornccount of so many of iho mn .fliciana who were expected lo help tieing sbk. Tho Ceutcnnial car rates have come clown to a pretty decent figure, aud, as n consequence the Centennial grounds are so crowded that it is said to be impossible t tako any comfort ' there at prcsent. It is to be presumed ' that iho crowd will continue ns long A) the exhibition holds. Owing to tho sickness of n por . iion of I'rof. Boynton'a clas., and ab sence of others, lto lias concluded to defer his concert untUabout tho 13th of October, at which timo he expects to have a full class, and !it.o them nil ! xoady for it. lie will return to Tio- uesta on Monday the Dili of October i Ao continue his labors with hU class. ... 4 Tho great Hell-Gate mine was ex fdodod on Sunday last, and went off its easily and quietly as was promised !y (Sen. Newton, tho engineer of tho business. No body was hurt, no buildings were jarred ; no chimneys . wero thrown down, no earthquako fol lowed tho explosion. Thus another bupiboo is out of tho way, and our census numbers as many as before the .explosion. , In tho Associated Tress dispatches in Monday's papers, there is an ac count of a terrible disaster in Forest county, by reason of tho swelling of the mountain streams from tho late " tains." Sixteen persons were drowned, and their bodies carried away and jammed between tho boom of logs in - Forest creek. This is a mistake as regards to Iho county. Thcro no such accident took place within its boundaries, and thero U no Forest creek in this county. 'Iho accident probably took place somewhere in tho dUrtlern part of the State. A daughter of Mr. Young, of Oldtowu, a young lady aged about 17 yeai-s, died last week of diptheria, which malady had, a'short timo before faused tho death of a younger brother. y'o understand that thero is auother jcaso of diptheria in tho same family, but we fervently hopo that tho child will recover. Wo understand that thero is a new caso in tho family of John Hood. Tho damp weather wo have been having for somo timo past has rau.;od more cases of fatal sickness h.ei, was ever kuown iu this, scctiqn before. ', While in Tidioutc, on Saturday last, wc stepped in, of couno, to, ?eo Vara JlaUwiu, who Bhowed unto'us a now sewing machiuo, yclept tho "White," which is, without exception, tho very best sewing machiuo we ever ett eyes upon.

Communication from C. A. Randall, Esq., about that 'Serious Charge.', TioNiaTA, Pa., kept 25, 1875. Ki). Fokkmt IIki'fiu.ican : Allow mc, through your columns, to correct nn article which docs mo great injus tice. Said article appeared in the Venango Sprctnfor of the 21stinst.,and iu the Fared iVcsfl of a late date ; is in regard to my citizenship, nml charges mo with voting at eight elections in this county without being a citizen. Now it is true that I was elected a Justice of the Peace in Februniy, 1875, and commissioned March 20, 1875, and that I have been a votor in this county for eight years, mid this is the status of my citizenship : I was born in Canada, and came to this country with my father, in 1855, when about uine years of ago, nu.l nettled in tho State of Iowa. My father is and has been a citizen of the United States, and a voter for the last twenty years. Al though born in Canada, of American parents, my grandfather was a native born citizen of this State, from near Philadelphia. I cast my first, or ma jority vote in this town, on these grounds, which wero fully set forth to, the election board, which board de cided that I was entitled to cast my ballot, and on theso grounds I have continue'd to vote at each election since. Under the Election Laws, and the Laws governing tho Naturalization of Aliens, children underage, coming to this country with their parents, and their fathers becoming citizeus, are en titled to vote by reason of their fa thers' citizenship. The facts as stated were presented to my Attorney, S. D. Irwin, Esq., about the time I was elected a Justico of the Peace, in Feb ruary,1875. IIo gave it as his opiu iou that there could be no doubt as to my citizenship, but. owing lo the fact that I hadjbecn elected a Justice of tho Peace, and that my parents lived in Iowa, somo distance from here, he advised tuc to go before the Court and take out my naturalization papers, so that if, in my judicial capacity, tho question should arise, it could bo set tled without going back for genera tions, or sending to Iowa for papers. As thcro wns no court in session in this county, I did, by advice of my Attor ney, go to Franklin, on the 6th day of March, 1875, and take out my papers, in order that I might have them before accepting my commission within the time prescribed by law. Iles;icctfully Yours, C. A. Haxdall. Tho following is the charge referred to, taken from the Spec-lalor : "Here is a precocious citizen and a leader of the party that supports Hayes: Chas. A. liandall, Chairman of the Forest County Republican Committee, was elected a Justice of tho Peace in that county in February, 1875, and lifted his commission last summer. Mr. Randall has been a voter in the Radical ranks for somo eight years, and hero is the status of his citizen ship: He was naturalized in this city ou tho Gth day of March, 1875, us shown by the rccord of tho Court. Thus Forest County has a man who was elected a magistrate nmV voted at eight election without Icing a citizen of the United States. Of course Mr. Randall r.usl have known that he was not o'igiUn when elected, and that, his per.si.sU'iit voting was every time a vio lation cf law." This is only -a Hut her case of the way the Ih nio'u iii v is doing business iu this campaign. This men who mado tho charge; the papers which published it, had no idea that ii would remain un explained or undisputed. Their game is to "make charges," but never, under any circumstances, to correct errors, when the person maligned belongs to the Republican party, in hopes that voters will sco the charges, and not tho corrections, necessarily published in other papers. For instance: Tho charges against Gov. Hayes, in regard to his income returns, have been re futed iu cvidcuce so plain that the wayfaring man, though a d cmocratio editor, need not err thereiu. Even tho Philadelphia- Timet, a paper from which the Democratic papers of the wholo State havo selected, aud repub lished column after column, week after week, says that Hayes fckirts aro en tirely clear of tho charges made against him. lias any one ever seen that article from tho 2Ymy reproduced in a democratic paper No, nor ever will. It is uot the forte of theso pa pers, these "reform" organs to acknowl edge their errors to tell tho truth. Tho grand idea is, not to coavincc the people by argument, or by reason, but to mislead them, by making charges, which me uo boo nor ;ct up than they nro knocked down, nnd by never cor recting tho false statements, even when they are convinced of their falsity. Iu this cmo, tho?o who put themselves so much out of tho way to furnish the. Spectator with "a specimen of a Hayes and Wheeler leader," could have found out (he truth in regard to the matter had they Fpcnt half tho time looking for it, that they did tfl gct tin a chargo against one who, in all prob ability, stands a head nnd shoulders nbovo them in tho community. Rut they did not want the truth. What they wonted, wfs some dirt to throw at tho party which supports honest men in stead of Tammany thieves, and their idea was that no matter how clearly tho caso was explained, some of tho dirt must stick ; especially in those places where Democratic papers circu late freely. It was a dirty job, nnd we hope the instigators of it feel proud over their exploit. THE MASS MEETING. The meeting last evening was tho event of tho campaign. Never has tho like of it been since Forest was a county. The crowd, the music, tho enthusiasm, wero all that could bo desired, nnd all went "merry as a marriage bell." Tho Hayes and Wheeler marching club with torches formed in front of the Central House at about 7 o'clock p. m., and headed by a good marshal marched down Elm St., to The -mouth of tho creek, and thence back to the Court llouso, followed by a crowd which filled the court room to over flowing. " Col. Dewtes was elected President of tho meeting, nnd took the chair. The following gentlemen wero elected Vice Presidents: II. H. May Judgd Kerr, Capt. Clark, L. Arncr, Peter Mircilliot, Amzii Purdy, Mr. Rowland, C. F. Gillespie. , W. R. Dunn was elefcted Secret try. 1 The President introduced Geo. W. Hood, Esq., of Indiaua, who apologi zed for tho non appearance of Gen. White, who was unavoidably detained, ou an ejectment suit, which was bo ing tried in the Indiana county court. Ho then addressed the meeting at length, in a sound, able and convin cing speech, which was listened to with interest and loudly applauded at the close. Ho wound up with a few wordii commendatory of Gen. White, at the mention of whoso name, the Court House rang with rounds of ap plause. Tho Prcsidont then introduced Col. L. D. Rogers, of Franklin, w ho made a speech which has never, in Forest county, been equaled in telling hits, and stinging blows at the bull's eye of Democracy. Sound argument also characterized the Colonel's spcoch. It is impossible to do justice to this ppeech in a short article, such as we have room for, but it is sufficient to say that the Court House never wit nessed a more enthusiastic meeting, nor did her walls ever resound more to tUe applause of the auditors. Tho Colonel's manner is somewhat after tho Ingersoll style, and the audi ence was completely carried nway by his native eloquence and quaint fig ures. Wc hopo to hear both these gentlemen again during this cam paign. Iu justice to Mr. Hood, wc would sajr( that although ho made a good, sound, argumentative speech, it was not an effort such as he is capable of making, with proper preparation. Ho has not taken part in the canvass be fore, this fall, and had absolutely uo time to prepare hi points for presen tation. But, ns wo said before, ha mado a good, sound, able speech. At the close of tho meeting, Col. Rogers proposed three cheers for Hayes and Wheeler, Harry White, and tho success of tho whole Republi can Ticket : tho audience arose to its feet, and such a cheer wcut up as has never been heard in Forest county. Ths meeting was a grand success in every particular, and help our majority greatly in tho coming elec tion. On tho first page of to-day's pa per, wc give some extracts from tho stirring speach of Col. Ingersol, of i Peoria, 111.

The water here has a fall of about 16 feet, and over it both wero carried in a twinkling; for tunately for Reynolds tho water where it boils up from below tho dam, threw him against the bank and he wns soon extricated from his peril.
