Queer, Is It Xot J
The mongrel convention which assem
bled at Cresson on the 20 ih of August,
placed in nomination a full county ticket,
with the exception of Sheiiff. At the
head of the list of the nominees stood the J township, by way of Ebensburg to Johns
name of II. D. Woodrcfk for Assembly, j town, oo miles ; from the same starting
lie was nominated as the Bemoval candi- point to Ebensburg, 20 miles. These
date and has accepted the empty honor I figures do not He, and after reading them,
thus conferred upon him. ' what becomr s of the Tribune's- mendacious
One may look in vain over the pages of ! assertion, that Johnptown "is more easy
the Johnstown Tr.'lune and the Johns- 1
town Dunocrat for the publication of this j
Cresson ticket. It cannot even be found, i
where it ought to be, among the latest
advertisements. But, strange as it may
poem, the Democrat still publishes in one
of its columns the full Democratic ticket
headed with "W.M. II. Kosic for Assem
bly. Dors the editor of the Democrat
flatter himself that he can impose upon j
the Democracy of the northern portion of j
the county by such a transparent trick
as this? It is simply a device to conceal
and cover up hi own well known and
shameful duplicity on the removal issue.
The mere fact that he keeps Bosk's name
nt the head of the ticket would, under
other circumstances, be conclusive evi
dence that he intends to support it. But
this of course he will not do. He is new
the removal candidate himself, although
ho publicly and emphatically declared in
this place, time and again, on the day of
the meeting of the Democratic County
Convention, that he would vote for neither
l!os nor Bonackku, simply because
tin y irvre both in furor of the removal of
the county seat, and that kc (Woonuci K)
tens opjwsed to it. Woodruff to-day occu
pies the very sarao position which he al
leged at that time was held by Kose.
This interesting question here presents
itself: If II. D. Woodruff, on the 8th of
August, was honestly and sincerely op
jioscd to removal, how can he on the day
of the election vote for himself as the re
moval candidate. He ought to vote for
Bosk, since he stands on the same plat
form on which Woodruff most solemnly
declared he stood and would continue to
stand. We detest a political hypocrite,
and if II D. Wooijkl'KF has a fpark of
shama left in him, after the treacherous
and dishonorable course he has pursued,
ha will take down the Democratic ticket
from the head of his paper and hoist the
Bemoval ticket, or at least the small
re mo ant of it lhat is loft.
Dcking the la9t hours of the late ses
sion of Congress, when an objection to a
bill was fatal, lion. Samuel J. Randall,
and a few other Democrats, who were
skilled in parliamentary usage, took their
stand in front of the Speaker's desk, and
by the peremptory declaration. "I ob
ject," stopped the passage of many
schemes of robbery which would have
cost u tax ridden people immense s-jms of
s?oncy if they had been allowed to go

Does the editor suppose that

In view of the existence, hitherto un
known, of this great commercial mart,
called Johnstown, the wonder is that the
green grass is not now growing in the J
pfrects of Ebepfeburg, Somerset, Indiana i
and Greensburg. Oh! how it would j
gladden the heart of old John Johns, if !
he could, in his bodily person, revisit the j
banks of Cor.cmaugh and Stony Creek, J
and view with astonished eyes the mag- '
nificcnt commercial metropolis which has i
sprung up, as if by the wonderful magic
of Alladdin's lamp, upon the site of his
once humble but happy home. Old Hip
Van Winkle's astonishment would be
tame and commonplace, when compared i
to what would be that of this old Somcr- j
set county pioneer. It is a pleasant sub-
ject upon which to philosophize, but we i
must not weary the patience of our read
ers.

Whitti-mow'., afraid a second. time to
face the indignation of Congress, has
declined being a candidate in the first
South Carolina district, and one Hfany,
an American citizen of African descent,
has been nominated in his place. The
four candidates for Congress to which lhat
Slate is entitled are all necroes. That
they will all be elected admits of no doubt,
for in 18G0 South Carolina contained
402,400 negroes and only 291,383 whites,

The Germans and Iii?,hmcn that vote the
Radical ticket musi feel complimented at the
attempt to supplant the German and Irish
laborers in the coal region. Upon the sub
ject cf the Ridical coal operators movement
to put Chinamen into the mines in place of
the present white laborers, the Ridical organ
of Schuylkill county gives its views in the
following language : "As the Irish and the
Germans are the prominent opponents to the
Chinese, and are asking Congress to prohibit
the emigration entirely, we believe if any
class of emigrants are to be prohibited by
our government, the best interests of the
country demand that IrisJt, atul German cm
igration instead of Chinese should be prohib
ited. If the Chinamen are pagans wo may
convert them to Chrulianity. and mere pa
ganism cannot have a more demoralizing ef
fect upon the country tban the crime and
pauperism of the Irish and Dutch."
A new spring has been discovered in
Bradford county, similar to the already
celebrated Miunequa spring, near Canton,
brjt is stronger iu odor and in taste, and
is more chalybeate. Larger bubbles are
constantly rising to its ttirface and then ex
ploding, and at intervals there is an upheval
of tho whole body of water in it never 1ea
than fourteen feet deep with an explosive
souud, caused fron accumulated gaseous

Preachinsr vs. Practice.
Two missionaries from the Workrnjrmen's
Benevolent Association of the Anthracite re
gion, Messrs. Parker arjd Kealy, says the
Pottsville Standard, were lately on a tour to
the bituminous mines of Pennsylvania. In
one of their letters we finl the following in
raference to the .extensive iron works at
Johnstown, nt t he western bate of the Alle
gheny Mountains :
"in our last we promised to pay some !
more of Johnstown, its people and their em- i
plovers. In a few words we will redeem our j
promise. We find tlie men of this place j
more thoroughly in the hands of their em-
ployers than in any place we have yet vis- j
ited. Wages ar lower and men more timid j
in asking tor their rights than any where else :
in the western coal fields we have visited.
In fact they scarcely dare breathe of such a i
thing.

Mai.kixant Pif.ty. This cutious case is
reported in Indiana :
Miss Lizzie Lanker, of Richmond, in that
State, was engaged to be married to Milton
Birely a persen of large matrimonial cx-
i pcrienceand felicity, who has had tour wives'
variously disposed of by me.thods not men
tioned. At the time appointed for his latest
wedding Birely instead of awaiting th. ar
rival of Lizzie, concluded after a brief delay
that she had changed her mind, and with
remarkable promptitude secured vengeance
upon her and consolation for himself by es
pousing another woman, who had come to
wituesist he ceremony Luclnda Morrison.
But Lizzie had not changed her mind. She
had been detained by railroad irregularity
and arrived at the church just after the mar
riage had been perfected. She listened so
quietly to the offered explanation that the
false lover and his accomplice in treachery
? opposed . they .were forgiven. This belief
was strengthened when Lizzie exclaimed :
Let us pray !" and all fell upon their knees.
Then did the betrajed betrothed calmly pour
forth what was more like Lear's curse than
a devout supplication or thanksgiving. She
prayed for herself and for power to bear her
humiliation, but her successful rival was the
subject of most earnest appeal : "Have mer
cy on this new wife. While I thank Thee,
O God, for my deliverance from such a fickle
husband, from such a pitiable creature. I
would ask Thy blessing npon his poor wife.
Give her grace, to bear the affliction of such
a husband. Keep him from drink, and may
he become a better man. Watch over me,
our Father, and preserve me from ever again
approaching so nearly to utter ruin. Give
me strength to return to my home and pre
serve my sex from such men."
' A few months ago a beardless young
man in his travels viseted Meriden, Conn.,

apparently well aut bent iented case of pc-tri-
faction cf a bim.r.n body. Mrs. Calhetme
Hippie died at Monrovia, Kansas, on the
22 1 of Febru trv. 1 ;.. in tlie both vear f
her ago. She was buried there on the 2fih.
In December. 163. her hnban.l died ai h's
hi home in i'remoi.t. Schuylkill county,
Pennsylvania, n questing thrit his wife's re- '
m;-.ins be brought and buried by his side in ;
Tremoat Cemetery. On the 2vi h of J Vor na '
ay. 1SG9, three year, after the mother had
been buried, the grave was opened, and after
the removal of the covering of the outer cof i
fin it was discovered that b. tit cofans were ;
tiiie l with a dark colored water, and on '
raising the coffin to the eurface of tiie earth ;
they found it to be remarkably heavy. The !
cofiin was emptied ..f the water, aud on ex-
atr.iuition of the body it was pronounced by j
those present complete? if pttrifbul. Tho color
of the face and bands was, peihaps. two j
shades darker than natural, and somewhat i
resembling a varnir-hd surface. The tea-
tures were as full and pt-iftct as when she
was alive, so that all who had known her,
and came to see her remains, instantly re j
coirnized the well-remembered countenance.
Tne body remained exposed to atmospheric
inltuerice for f ur days in order to ascertain
whether any change would takn p!-'co prep
aratory to its transportation eastward. No
change whatever wan manifest. The tctnu'ii j
were roughly handled at all transfer points, j
were transported fourteen hundred miles by i
rail, aud before the burial at Trcmont the t
body was arain examined bv Dr. Prevost. of
that place, and found to be" thoroughly pet- j was discovered that they were all deaf, ap

A Drt Tdrti-q as Stouy. A strange story i
is told by a correspondent of tbe Albingdon j
Virginian, which vouches for its truthfulness i
in every particular. We give the substance
cf his statement for what it is worth. He i
says he saw on the 2d instant a Confederate j
lieuten.int named Parker, who had been I
confined since lSb2 at the Dry Tortusas as
a piisonerof war until June hist. Parker
says there are still about three thousand men
on the island, who have no means to pay
their passage and n'o way to make money
enough to do so. They wcro all released at
the close cf the war. but had no means of
communication with their friends, and they
are still there in the mo&t wretched condi
tion, their only means of support being de
rived from labor at the levees at fifty cents
per month and by begging. Parker "worked
over five years at fifty cents per month and
saved ,r3b.50, with which he paid his fire to
New Orleans, from which place he has
walked since the 7th of June. beir"hv7 his
way. lie is in a most pitiable condition,

isiaoo are praying lor rcuci Irom their Mends,
but he does cot know how that relief can be
afforded, as he seems to be onlirely ignorant
of the means of communication with the is
land, and only knows that vessels go there
for coffee.
Another advance toward practical mis
cegenation has been achieved by the leading
Radicals of Indiana. Negroes and whites
are now indiscriminately mixed up in the
State Normal School. In the language of
the Terre Haute Journal, "they occupy the
same class rooms, and recile together in the
same clasess." In a short time, some one
of the colored brethren will run off with a
white girl iu the neighborhood, ami then her
parents "would like it pretty well." But
it is a part of the Fifteenth Amedment sys
tem, and the faithful must accept the situa
tion.
