Hutch- mson, or Pittsburgh, for State Treas urer both on second ballot. Hox. A. W. Loom is died at Cum berland, Maryland, last Saturday, in the "7th year of his age.

Kiddle, Shaler, McCandless, and others of al most equal distinction. A bout a year ago we had occasion to administer a mild rebuke to the Ashland Advocate, on account of a fre quent practice it had fallen into ot copying articles from this paper with out giving the usual credit. Heeding our remarks for a time, it has again re turned to its old tricks, and in its issue of last week appropriates two entire articles from the Freeman and pub lishes them as its own. This is a spe cies of theft not tolerated among gen tlemen of the press, but inasmuch as the editor's name is Steel (S'eaJ) we presume he regards it as a legitimate part of his business. The Democratic County Conven tion of Plair county, met at Jfolli daysburg last Monday and nominated the following ticket: Assemblv, Jas. Funk; Sheriff, John Kockett; Pro thonotary, I. P. Stewart; County Com missioner, Oliver Haggerty ; Jury Commissioner, James Mcintosh ; Di rector of the Poor. Emanuel Clapper; Auditor, Robert L. Holliday ; Coro ner, John Hickey. A series of reso lutions were adopted hy the Conven tion, among which was he following in reference to the increase salary swin dle: 4th. That wlicn a representati ve in con gress or the legislature agree to serv the lwople at a fixed salary, it is dishonest and fraudulent in him to vote to increase it dur ing the term, and we denounce as unjust and unjustifiable either the voting' for or re ceiving any such increase of salary by anv luember, be he Democrat or Republican. The Herald of last week, in reter- ly the then approaching radical coun- j inernl of a warning to the young firnplv tlie result of an overwhelminn- "political necessity." No other man in' the party was willing to encounter certain defeat, and because Mr. Henry has been twice elected by the aid of Democratic votes the convention rush ed to the conclusion that the same re sult could Ik? once more achieved. But this will not be, for the Democra cy of the county are reolved that they will not again consent to be misrepre sented at Harrisliurg by one who .has no political sympathy with them, and who ha always been their active and determined foe. John T. Harris, tlie candidate for Sheriff, is- the present Chief of Police oi jonstown. lie is said to be an ef ficient otlicer the right man in the right place. As Johnstown will need his services in the future as she has in the past, we trust he will survive the s.inning and 'gartering process thro' whic h Hanmor will put 'him, and that he may long live to wield his trun cheon in preserving peace and order in the metropolis of the eoimtv. Tho nomination of Thomas Griffith for Treasurer was a complete surprise, especially to Hart man Berg and Will iam H. Connell, his two competitors for the emptj- honor. A writer in the Herald a short time ago recommended Mr. Griffith as a lit candidate for As sembly, but it would seem that he pre fers holding the key to the county treasury rather than "be engaged in the vain pursuit of legislative honors. He is a man of stamp, and it is stronglv suspected that tlie radical .leaders" in this place net tip his nomination with the wilful design of bleeding him for the purposes of the campaign. Our own impression is that Thornas will not bleed to anv alarming extent, and that the sinews of war must be furnished from the old source. With these re marks in reference to the three most important nominations, we reserve anything we may have to sav about the balance of the ticket for "another occasion. The New York Tribune, having been threatened with a lilel suit for its article in reference to the exploits of Senator Carpenter at Xew York and Long Branch, which we published last week, says it "will gladly payany sum that may be assessed as damages, to be convinced that the character' of Mr. Carpenter is such that he does the Senate no disgrace in presiding over it, and that his life and conduct are sucn as may oe liehi np tor an cxam- The Tuo Tickets. Although we feel the utmost confi dence in the election of the entire Dem ocratic county ticket, it is well to re member that in politics, as in war, it is the part of wisdom not to underes timate the strength ot the enemy. The Democratic party in this c ounty has a clear and conceded majority of xeeen hundred votes. This being the fact, ought not the ticket which has been put in nomination come out of the contest easily triumphant, and if not, why ? The tests of fitness in a candi date for any office, from the highest to the lowest, are honestT and compe tency. Does any man, Democrat or Republican, doiibt the integrity of Henry Scar.lan, the Democratic can didate for Assembly ? On that score he will not suffer by a comparison with any citizen of the county. In what does a man's competency consist, in order to qualify him intelligently to discharge the duties of legislator ? Is it in his ability to make long, and it may be, eloquent speeches ? Such a man is not always the most useful member of the legislature, but in many notable instances the very reverse. Sound judgment and a reasonable share of that rare talcnt.common sense, are essential requisites in a safe and practical representative. The Demo cratic candidate possesses both these qualities in an equal degree with his radical opionent. The one represents a party, the principles and policy of which every democrat holds dear,while the other is the exponent of a party whose acts and policy every Democrat who believes in and honors the name, feels instinctively bound to crush out and destroy. The votes of the one will fairly represent the political views of the Democracy of the county, while the votes of the other will be given to strengthen the grasp that radicalism now has lioth on the State and nation. Who doubts the ability of Herman Baumer to make a reliable and etll cient Shei-itr; ot A. I. Criste, faithful ly to discharge the duties of County Treasurer, or the honesty of Edward Glass, the candidate for County Com missioner? an ollice which he once filled with acknowledged credit. Are they not the equals in every respect of their radical opponents ? Beside all this, they have lx?en fairh- nomina ted hy a convention composed of del egates from every district in tlie coun ty, and should therefore receive the support of every member of the partv who desires to preserve its organiza tion and ascendancy. What radical ever deserts a party nomination to vote for a Democrat ? Let every Dem ocrat consider therefore that he is not fighting for men, but for that grand old party founded by Jefferson, upheld by the strong arm of Jackson, and which is yet destined to control the government of the country. iv luin cnuoii, una anoiner oi its i riodical attacks, by which we mean a chronic habit of " wilfully traducing mid misrepresenting the County Coin missioners. If "corruption" prevails in the management of the attain of the county, it ought to be specially set forth, and not meanly insinuated. Have the Commissioners leen influ enced by corrupt considerations in the erection of the new jail? "Will tlie J Ierald dare to specify in what par ticular? When the effort was made to remove the county seat from Kbens burg to Johnstown, and when the main argument in favor of the insane proposition was the heavy expense of erecting the jail, the music of the Her ald was played on a verv different harp. But all tlmt is forgotten, and it now suits its low ambition, in pur suit of a very small amount of cheap political capital, to revive this explo ded question of the past which it once so fiercely assailed. It is the smallest kind of political warfare. The fol lowing is what the Herald said : The management, or rather mi.Mnnnatre meiit, of Cambria county aiVaii s has so Linjj been in the hands of the partv iu power, thai corruption prevsMs to snch "an extent that people cai, no longer endure it whi'.e i. ia at their eost. .

Inasmuch as in a prosecution for liUl in New York the truth of the al leged libellous matter can be given in evidence, we hazard the prediction that Matthew II. Carpenter will never face that kind of music before a jury. In referring to Carpenter's case, after this threat of legal proceedings, the Trib une uses the following appropriate language which will meet with a ready response from ever intcU.nt ,;, and independent newspaper in the country : "It is not nectary to dwell upon the Facial ease in hand. Our object is answer ed, in directing he attention of the people to the unclean life of the brilliant but un principled man who occupies the chair of the United State Senate, and who from his hib position should be an example to tlie youth of tlie land.

Then, for the first time, it flashed upon his mind that he was the victim of a couple of exceedingly "polite" and "gente.el" shan ers. He went back to the depot a sadder and a wiser man, and as he had given the sharpers all the loose money alout his per son, borrowed enough to bring him home.

THE rSTEKTIONS OF A TOCSO MAX FROM THE BACKWOODS OF OUEOOS STEAM E5GISES AXI) TEIEGUAFHS. It appears from the Sau Francisco Chronicle that Oregon possesses a youlh- . ful genius who deserves moie thau pass- j ing notice. This is his story as told by j I that journal: "A caveat was recently filed iu the Patent Office at Washington ! for a new motive power, which, in the ! opinion of experienced engineers and sci- ' cntilic gentlemen ho have examined the J working model, will not only supplant the i ! present steam engines in use, but largely i increase the uses to which machinery can i lie applied with profit. Strange to say, this invention which promises such great 1 results is the product of a boy but eighteen I years of age, who was born aud reared in the backwoods - of -Oregim. - Frank G. i Crouch is the name of the young genius. I His father settled on a farm in Douglas j county over twenty, years ago, and the 1 only educational advantages enjoyed by : the young man were those afforded by the I couutry school. At a very early age he : demonstrated a wonderful ingenuity in j the construction of wind-mills and water ! wheels, llefoio lie was ten years of age j lie built a toy saw-mill, which was the ! wonder of the inhabitants for miles around. I Natural philosophy and chemistry were I his favorite studies, not only faithfully I followed in school, but fairly revelled iu i out of school hours. He was continually ', testing the theories of the book by actual ' experiir.enfs, and produced results which astonished his elders. The frivolous ! amusements of other children he turned : from, and his eutiic time was occupied not I ofcly in practically demonstrating what he i saw in print, but in endeavoring to 5m i prove on the original. Up to four years ' ago, when he went with his father to l'ort : land, lie never had seen a telegraphic in strument, yet in having its ojeratio;i ex plained to him he astonished the operator with a more profound elucidation of its workings than the operator himself could have given. Upon his return home he constructed an instrument, made a bat tery, and iu a rude way could telegrath with it. lie came near losing his life at this period, from the strength of a battery which he had constructed, receiving a shock which laid him up for a month. In this counection it may be stated that this j young man has perfected a system of tele- ' graph whereby messages nmy be sent and ! received on board a train of cars, whether 1 standing still or moving at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The young man fully ex plained this system to a Chronicle reporter, but as his application for a potent is not yet filed it w ould be unfair to make it nidi-it-. T-l ' . 1 1 ... ' uc. 1 ins system also renders collisions 1 impossible, ami greatly reduces the chances ! of accidents of all kinds. It has been test ed on twelve miles of road and, .found to work like a charm. Another of his inven tions, from which his friends and practical machinists expect great results, is a self regnlating water-feed, to be applied to boilers. The great majority of explosions which occur are caused by the water get ting low through the carelessness of engi neers. By this arrangement the waterln the boiler will always be kept at- a certain height, rendering explosions impossible, requiring 110 attention from the engineer, and dispensing with the water gauges. Among all the inventions to which this young man has applied his attenti m, the one which he was most desirous of bring ing before the public was his new steam engine. His father, who is a plain, prac tical farmer, endeavored to turn his atten tion from machinery and electricity to the eveiy-day life of the farm, but finally he was persuaded by the unceasing importu nities of the youth to go with him to Port land, and endeavor to get some capitalists to supply tho money to bring out the in ventions of the lny. They met with poor success in Portland, and the father, whose means are limited, endeavored to persuade his son to return home. The young man would not listen to such a proposition, and linally induced his father to come on down to San Francisco. They met with poor success here at first, but young Crouch finally succeeded in getting a miniature model of his engine manufactured. He took it down to San Jose, where several old frieuds of the Crouch family resided. At Judge Hester's residence, on tlie Ala meda road, the little engine, with but-two-inch cylinder and two-inch stroke, was ap plied" to a. large straw cutter, ordinarily worked by a very strong mule. It easily handled the machine, and accomplished work which the mule could not cutting off grape-vines and barrel hoops as readily as straw. The mule was substituted for the little engine, and brought to a dead stop when these things were put in the ma chine. Judge Monro and Mr. Bishop at once took stock in the undertaking-. With the means furnished hy them a large en gine is now being constructed at a machine shop in this city, which will le in opera tion this week. The merit claimed for Hid i.cW ciigtuo lo flint T.y It Mean. !. c .1, - verted into a wonderfully expansive gas, by being snperheated in combination with air, thus giving to a comparatively small engine great power. By this arrangement the main obstacle which has prevented the application of machinery to many purposes will be overcome, and tho steam carriage for common roads made practical. A great saving in fuel, as well as weights, is also secured by the invention of young Crouch. The engine and boiler are com bined, and an engine of forty-horse power will not take up a space of six" feet square." The JliJJiin Fire. I A I BCOltE OF BCSINESS PLACES DESTROYED THE ESTIMATED LOSS if 100,000 TnE FIUE THE WOKE OF AN ISCEXD1AHI. Mifflin, situated fifty-two miles west of ' JIarnsburg, received its second baptism of Jseivs anil Jotitical Item.

Several railroad men were the first to observe the fire, and they gave the alarm and aroused the neighborhood. The flames were first seen issuing from the building occupied by the Juniata Sentinel office. corner of Bridge street and an alley, and aixxit liHi yards ironi the Juniata river : bridge which connects Mifflin with'Patter ' sou. The hour at which the fire broke out ' (one o'clock in tho morning) and the fact i that there had been no fire in the building i on Friday, make it reasonably certain that the conflagration is traceable to incendiar ; ism. This is the opinion of everybody iu ; Mifflin. ' Although the night was very calm, the 1 flames spread with considerable rapidity, the buildings contiguous to the Sentinel office being of frame and burning like tin : der. The town has nothing but an old hand engine, and that could not be used to ; advantage, so that no other resistance I could be offered to the spread of the fire ; than the efforts of the people to subdue it ! with bucket of water. In three hours from the time it originated nearly two 'blocks of buildings were in ruins, but ! three houses escaping destruction. But foi the indefatigable efforts of the citizens . the conflagration would have been far - more sweeping. A stable tilled with hay j occupied a position on the opposite side of ; the alley along which the fire was raging, ; and on several occasions the heat set it on I tire. Blankets were sprvad over the stable, i thoroughly saturated, buckets of water ! were thrown on and against the building, and, although much scorched, it was saved. Had it been burned another block or more of buildings would have followed i in all probability. i In one sense the fire on Saturday was ! more disastrous than thatof January, 1S71, '. as it destroyed the business portion of the ( town.

At a few minutes past seven o'clock Levin Pal mer, at Towseudtown, Baltimore county, for rape, aifl at Baltimore, shortly after ten o'clock, James West, aged twenty three years, was hanged for murder. When Mr. Stitt. the spiritual ad viser of I aimer, entered his cell, Palmer became so excited that he raved and seemed en tirely to forget himself in the excess of his religious frenzy. He shouted, clapped hanJs, jumped np, knelt down, shook Bands, and threw himself into various atti tudes. The execution was accompanied by the usual scenes. The execution of West was a sickening spectacle, lhs whole body was in a riot lent struggle, swajing two and fro; his hands clutched convulsively, and were drawn up. aud down, and his bead moved back and forwards with spasmodic jerks Blood gushed from his nostrels. saturating the white cap in front and behind, and streaming down his neck and shoulders. The spasms continued between five and eight minutes, after which the body was at rest. Inokxuitt of Hats.- Tlie editor of the Bradford Argus tells the following story in regard to the ingenuity of the rats w hicii infest his printing office: For sumo time past we have been annoyed upon arriving at our sanctum in the morn ing, to find our paste-pot emptied of its contents, the work of rats which unfor tunately infest the building. Tuesday morning we procured a two qnart tin pad with a strong cover attached. Through the centre of the cover we punched a hole about the size of a nickle, through which we inserted the handle of the brush which is quite a large one, as all the paste nscd in the composing room is furnished from this can. Before night one of our printers had occasion to use the pnste, and to facilitate his work he removed the brush from its place and afterwards forgot to re turn it, although the cover was"secn;cly fastened over the contents of the can. Having occasion to visit the sanctum dur ing the evening, we, while engaged in writing np certain matters, had ori inatten tion attracted to a tnMc in another room, about -20 feet from uv, by a slight noise and the appearance of three large nits follow ing each other towards the can. Beirg a little curious we kept perfectly quiet nrid watched the uncouth intruders. Verv cautiously the leader approached to the can. walking about it, smelt and resmelt, and finally crawled on its top. His coml pan ions, like sentinels, stood below npon the table, evidently awaiting the ringlead er's developments. The old fcIlow,aftcr nosing about on top for a minute, came to the little bole, about which lie lingered some time, evidently studying some" way to get at the paste. After a .short time a bright idea appeared to strike him, upon which he acted at once. Wheeling about ho backed up to the hole, screwed "his tail about until the end protruded through the hole, and then backed again nntil he"could go no further. The whole of his tail was now submerged in the cream-like paste, and in a second after he withdrew it and we saw that it was covered with floury substance. Now he was in his glory.
