AnotiyiiioiiH Circulars.
Tho ttmo has passed when tho Intelligent
voters ot this county can bo influenced or
deceived by circulars sent out n few days
beforo tlio delcgato election for tho purpose
ot Injuring tho chances of any particular
candidate. If signed by some responsible
name, so that the public may know who
issues them, they might bo entitled to
somo consideration, but when circulated
anonymously they should have no cllecl
whatever. Thcro ore several objections to
this modo ot campaigning. It is unfair,
becauso it gives tho accused no opportunl
ty to answer ; it is cownrdly, becauso the
person who circulates them has not the
courago to sign his name.
Wo have seen a circular of this character
purporting to glvo the record of William
Bryson In tho Legislature. Four thousand
of them wero printed nt a newspaper office
that has nover cast a Democratic vote. Wc
know nothing about its accuracy, but ev
erybody knows that if there is anything
crooked about Mr. Bryson's record it
could nnd should havo been attacked
months ago, Instend of waiting until a few
days beforo tho election. Tho Legislature
adjourned last November, nlnu months
ago.
The Columiiian advocates tho cause ot
no man In local politics, but when it sees
manifestly unfair means adopted for the
defeat of any candidate, it never hesitates
to dcuouncc such methods. It wants clean
politics, nnd nnonymous circulars Issued
on tho eve of an election do not como un
der this bend. Mr. Bryson's chances
now should bo precisely what thoy were
before this circular was printed.

passed by a big brush heap nlong ono side
of tho road Wetzel noticed a monster gar
ter snake crawling into tho brush. Ho
called his companion's attention to the
fact, and they nt onco decided to kill it-
Working their way Into the brush they
camo across another big snako which, to.
gcthcr with the first ono seen, they killed.
As they disposed of these yet another was
seen making for tho brush. After somo
troublo they dispatched this ono also.
Each snake was as thick In tho body as the
upper part ot a stalwart man's arm. They
wcro females, and strange as It may ap
pear, cacti one was full of young snakes.
As soon as ono ot the old snakes was
stnick n host of young ones ran from her,
nnd the totnl number of snakes killed was
one hundred and fifly-firc. Thus each of tho
snakes averaged about fifty young. This
may appear as "drawing tho long bow,"
but the fact is well attested by thoso who
have seen tho dead serpents. This rather
takes tho cake, wo think, tor this season at
least. Danville Sun.

Pcnco In nnd for snld County, personally
cnino James K. Welrman of Benton, said
County, who made tho following affidavit,
to.wit i
"That during thu month ot September,
A. D. 1883, William Krlckbaum ot Blooms
burg, approached mo with reference to his
candidacy for Prothonotary nnd enrncstly
solicited my support for the nomination
for Prothonotary ; thereupon I consulted
somo of my friends in liloomsburg nnd
nsked them whether it would bo advisable
for mo to encourage satd Krlckbaum In
his advances for my support nnd gnln his
confidence so ns to get Into tho secrets of
his disrcputnblo and outrageous methods
of electioneering, nnd I was advised to
pursue such n course.
"This course having been advised nnd
determined upon, I gave said Krlckbaum
to understand that ho should rccclvo my
support. As soon ns I promised snld
Krlckbaum my support ho asked mc
whether It would not ho advisable to use
some money to exert an Influence for said
Krlckbaum In that part ot tho county
where I live, nud, wanting to see how far
snld Krlckbaum might go In his disrcputn
blo methods, I answered, 'yes.'
"During satd month of September I was
serving nil a Grnnd Juror nt Bloomsburg,
nnd received from said Krlckbaum the sum
of fifteen dollars to bo used for electioneering
purposes ; and from that tlmo to tho pics
cnt, nt various times, havo received from
llyo to ten dollars, for the purposo ofln-
flucnclng votes for snld Krlckbaum, at.tbc
same tlmo kocplng my friends posted as to
bis plans In tho upper end ot the county,
and using nil tho power I .could, under the
circumstances, to provent said Krlckbaum
from gaining a foothold In Benton nnd vi
cinity. Tho last money I got from him
was on Monday, July 21sl, 1884, when I
received tho sum of five dollars. The day
beforo Krlckbaum wrote to mo as follows i
BLoousnuuo, July 19th, 1834,
Mit. James Weiiiman, Dear Sir .-I wish
you would como down on Monday and
slay over night, uomc ir you cnn. nn
portant matter to be looked after.
W. Kkickiiaum.
"On Sunday, July 20th, I wont to
Bloomsburg, nnd on thnt day I received
from said Krlckbaum flvo dollars, and on
tho following day flvo dollais. I havo rc
eclved In all from said Krlckbaum about
one hundred and seventy-five dollars slnco
last September ; each tlmo I received tho
money from him I wns instructed by snld
Krlckbaum to do with it nil I could for
snld Krickbnum's nomination for Prothon
otary.
The course I havo pursued has not been
a pleasant one to mc, but having once en
tcrcd the Held to unearth said Krickbaum's
corrupt and degrnding prnctlccs I hnvo
been determined from tho beginning to
keep It up till the last, and as tho cam
paign is now about closed, my unpleasant
task Is ended, nnd before God and man I
here submit and substantiate by affidavit
the result of my efforts, hoping that all
those who hnvo seen my actions and im
pugned my motives for making what ap
peared to bo an alliance with said Krlck
baum, will now count mo in tho. great ma
jority of Democrats In their determined
march for tho victory they will achieve In
tho overthrow and downfall of Krlckbaum
nnd his methods.

will be exposed in tho course of this reply

Mr. Welrman having by bis own "disre

himself Into tho shadow of the Quarter
Sessions of Columbia County, tho District
Attornoy, Robert Buckingham, and Wm,

your being prosecuted for thrco months. I
am pleased that they have given you thrco

which iney migui institute against you
ami lor which mero is a nenvy penalty.
know you too well to think that you will
not puy the amount In that time, and
congratulate you upon your safety for tho
noxt three mouths, and I know that you
will raise tho amount In that tlmo. If you
do not, you know Wilson's disposition, and
It may bu that another nttcmpt to help you
out of tlio difficulty may not succeed. Now
James, stand by yfiur principles which
havo ruled you heretofore, and n happy and

Mr. Welrman finding himself In tho hands
cf tho district attorney with "his illireputa
bio nnd outrageous methods," came to Mr.
Krlckbaum and put into his hands tho
Buckingham letters, onu of which Is given
above, nud begged ot Mr, Krlckbaum
money enough to settle the prosecution the
district attorney was holding over him.
This Mr, Krlckbaum finally consented to
do and for the money furnished for that
purposo took the following note.

half miles west of Mount Morris, Mich.,
lives n family of sixteen persons, all hud
dled together in npnrtmcnts not largo

died In the family, and since then several
members of tho household have been im
pressed with the belief that everything
around the premises was bewitched peo.
pic, stock, and the very nlr and water nil
being controlled by evil spirits. A Mrs.
Sumner, who is, nnd has for somo timo
been quite ill, wns afflicted with this hal.
luclnntion to n mnrked degree, nnd, while
not pretending to prcscrlbo for her mental
trouble, Dr. Lumati L. Fuller, of Clio, has
been trying to minister to her physical nil
ments. Ho called nt the bouse, and when
he attempted to get to her room ho was
met by a Mrs. Livingston, another member
of tho strange family, who had a razor In
ono hand and a knife in the other. In yhcr
frenzied efforts to Induce htm not to int cr-
fcrc with n caso already being handled by
tho witches, she attacked and cut him sav
agely In the breast, Inflicting a bad wound.
Sho has been nrrcstcd, and a young man
named Whitney, n brother of Mrs. Living,

of tho family may be arrested. The neigh
borhood is full ot stories of the strange hal
lucinations of the occupants. Somo things
thoy havo done nro worthy of the old witch
