In def idii-.L' to ;ipynrt C. U. Earlcy as their candidate for Reprasentativo of
this district, the I)en:oarasy of Elk county xrem to have placed theiiHcK-.es in tho
position of holtinj t ho regular nomination, but such is not the fact. Tho nomi
nation, f right and in accordance with the usage ot the party, belonged to Elk, and
the nomination of Ir. Iioyer was obtained only by tho deliberate violation of every
principle of common honor and honesty, and of all his solemn pledges.
It is not without duo consideration that the step has been taken, but the
proof in J)r. Rover's own hand writing were so strong, that no other course was
left. r. Rover's letters in which these pledges were contained arc still in exis
tence and from them we quote. In a letter addressed to lr. C. R. Karley and
dated,
Li- riiEnsni.ua, June 17th ISO I.
T am actually and in earnest a candidate for the Legislature, very many of my
good friends in this cou:ity desire it, and I havo of couiso too much patriotism to
refuse them so trifling n rc(ue.jt ; and now I want tho nomination, and as it will
not interfere with the usual number of years allotted to each county, viz two, and
only give Cleailield one year more iu this instance, I trust it will meet w ith your
approval in consequence of Clearfield's immense democracy.
I FLEIHJ E YOU THAT T WILL NOT AGAIN RE A CANDIDATE UN
DER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, and will of course then be for Elk.
I much need another winter. I think about one more session will put mo out
of the woods ; last winter was a poor session.

P. W. Hays EdQ,
I hope the report that your debpatea will meet us ia true
for wc cannot afTord in view of the great importance of tho Presidential, to have
a division iu this district : not that it could have much effect on the election but
the example would be bad,
Now you well know that we do not wish to postpouc the right of pjik county, for
when her term comes iu the regular course of cvent3, at it will next ycir, Clear
field will yield her a hearty support for two years as she always has done, but we
think that in consequence of her larger population and larger vote wc t-hould Lave
tho odd year.
T. J. ROYER.
Is conment needed ? Every pledgo has beon violatod ; he was not at the ser
vice of Elk county iu the house, aud local bills of Elk county could only pasi
through the influence of members living in distant parts of the State, and ho has
been acaudidato this year notwithstanding hisrepeuted promises to the contrary and
us frequent admissions that Elk would bo entitled to it this year, while the cluiin
of Clearfield last year was not put upon the ground of right but asked as a cour
tesy on account of their larger vote. Verily it seems to be Dr. Royers
opinion that "Honesty is (not) the best policy."
On the eveuing of September 25th, the democracy of Forest county assembled
in pursuance of a call of tho Chairman of the County Committee, and unanitnoits
fy endorsed the action of tho County Convention of Elk. Dr. Earlcy thus stands
in the position of being endorsed by two counties of tho three in the district.
ELK COUNTY.
Sr. Mary's, Oct. 2nd 1865.
Mr. EniTOtt: IFe were informed in
the last issue of the Clearfield Rcpuhli.
can, that their County Committee
would assemble and endeavor to settle
the present difficulty concerning the
office of Representative. The county
Committee dil assemble and did cu
deavor to produce peace aud harmony
in the party, but were bafll d in their
elFoits by no less a personage thau Dr.
T. Jefferson Boyer, who claim to be
the regular nominee of the party. The
facts arc these : Dr. C. R. Earlcy, of
our county, was at the time iu the town
of Clearfield, and the county committeo
desired that he and Dr. Boyer might
appear before them, and that some set.
tlemeut might be made, honorable to
both gentlemen and advantageous to the
party. Dr. Early, being called upon,
briefly stated that ho would make the
following proposition : That Dr. Boyer
and himself would resign ; that the
District Convention should re.assemblo
aud that a new man from any of tho
three counties should bo nominated,
lie pledged himself, to do all in his
power to bring the conention together
again, and to spend his tims in securing
the election of the nominee. Tho com
mittee considered the propositions ex
tremely fair and reasonable, and called
upou Dr. Boyer to accept them and by
so doing, evince his desire of harmon
izing the present discordant elements.
But what was the result ? Dr. Boyer
Jlafy and positive? rc'use.l to withdra to,
to tho great disgust of tho committee
and his friends, who certainly expected
that lie would promptly accept Dr.
Farley's terms. This action of Dr.
Boyer has produced a great chango of
fee'ing in Clearfield county, whoso peo.
pie were anxious that a settlement might
be made, and who are now determined
that if Dr. Boytr persists iu refusing to
withdraw aud thus jeopardize the party,
they will defeat liiui by voting for Dr.
Earlcy. Delegations have come from
Cleariiold, sent by no authority but
their own, in older to influence the dem
ocrats of Elk county to vote for Dr.
Boer, thev have returned home big
with statements tho most false, and
which they have endeavored to palm off
upon the peoplo of Cleariiold as truthful
record of tin sentiments of Elk coutity.
f ii this, however, they havo most miser,
ably failed ; their actions have recoiled
upon themselves with most fearful effect,
for the talsity of there (statements has
been discovered and the deiuoorats oi

Dr. Boyer are not held by luisrepresen.
tat ion ol' the very worst kind. I wish
to tell the peoplo of Clearfield county, or
of all three counties if you please, that
if Dr. Boycr'a friends count ou any
votes for him in the borough of St.
Mary's or Benzinger township, they had
better at once disabuse themselves of
the idea and thus save themselves the
disappointment they will, otherwise, un
doubtedly feel after tho election. The
same may nearly bo said oi Elk county ;
It is true we do not expect an entirely
unanimous vote, for some disaffected
persons will always be found in every
community, who, either from personal
or other motives, will array themselves
in opposition to tho genor.il voice of tho
people, but wo believe that a vote as
largo as will be cast for Dr. Earlcy at
the next election has never been seen

and why then does he state a falsehood
so glaring as this ; that Elk coutity has

hours, and stood on tho main tiaok at
Irvine, when the train fro 11 Erie being
on time, came along nnd pitched into
the stationary train, throwing two cars
from the track, and injuring passengers,
as we have stated. Thero is a rumor
that one of the injured parties has died; j
but wo do not state it as a fact
P. S. Wo have learned since tho
above was in tvpe, from Dr. G. A. Ir

that ono of the injured men died from
loss of blood before he arrived, while

morniug, and if he is sufficiently revived
to warrant the least hope, amputation
will bo pcrforinod.
So far as wo can learn, the blamo
rests with tho managers of tho road
the engineer and conductor of tho train
off time were ordered to proceed to Ir.
viue station. After reaching there, the
engineer wen? into the telegraph ofiico
to learn tho whereabouts ol the train

the old quarrel between tho officers of

the Oil creek roa 1 is unable to carry tho

that will cause an amount of ineon

Fearful Secno at Niagara
liair-Brcadth Escape from
Death.
A correspondent of the Concord (N.
II.) Xfatixiii in writes ;
Prof. Rugglcs, of Djrmouth College,
bad a vety narrow escape at Niagara
Falls, on Friday evening. While walk,
ing on Goat Island with a partv of l i
lies, one ol them dropped her parasol
; w Inch slid some fifteen or twenty feet
1 down the bank of the river. Mr. Rug.
glc :s vent down and picked it up, but on
attempting to return, llio bank being
steep and the ground hard, lost his foot
ing, aud fell down to the very brink of
tho precipice, which i:t this point is
eighty or ninety feet high. Here ho
caught hold of the roots of an upturned
tree, the trunk of which hangs over the
abyss. The shock oauol tiie tree to
shako violently, and it appeared ou llio
p lint of falling over the precipice. Tho
ladies shrieked and called for help, but
no assistance was at hand. A move
ment on the part of Mr. Buggies, or a
gust of wind, seemed sufficient to enuse
the treo to fall. At this critical mo.
Mont one of the ladies took off her br.s.
quine and skirts, cut thorn into strips,
got shawls and other ailieies of clothing
from the rest of the party, lied them to
gether, fastening a stone to the rope
thus formed, and let it down to Mr.
Rugglcs, w ho taking hold of it walked
slow ly up tho bank. It was a moment
ol fearful suspense. The rope war. held
firmly by tho ladies above, but it might
untie or break, and a fall of a hundred
feet on tho rocks below must be the in
evitable result. When Mr. Haggles
reached terra firma, bis fair rescuer, who
had shown remarkable presence of uiiml,
fainted and was taken homo in au un
