A wagon to which were attached two

eleven children, none of them above the age
of twelve years, and two women, while out

driving the horses ami seeing that nothing

cut loose from Snyder conu'.y a month since,
with the intention of getting to Kansas before

Thomas Denny, aged IU years, and a
younger brother, sons of Mr. Richard Denny,
of Allegheny township, this county, whistled
up the dogs and went, hunting the cows last
Sunday week. While traveling leisurely
through the woods, the dogs treed soniet hing
which the hoys, after a hasty reconnoisance,
declared to be a coon. We don't know
whether meat was scarce in the Denny
household or not, but Thomas said to bis
brother that it would be a nice thing to take
that coon along home with them anyhow.
Accordingly, armed with a club, ho shinned
it up the tree, but the animal, seemingly
averse to close acquaintanceship, jumped to
the ground. The dogs seized it and soon
despatched It, when it was discovered that
the supposed coon was nothing more nor
less than a full-grown and particularly savage-looking
wildcat! Thomas ami his
brother gathered up their game and made

After long and painful cogitation, It has
been finally decided by the Republican ring
managers that Mr. Joe Van Oriner, of White
township, shall take the place on the local
Republican ticket made vacant by the resig
nation of Mr. George Myers, of Gallitzin,
who withdrew in either dread or disgust
from tho canvass for County Treasurer a
couple of mouths ago. Joe is certainly a
worthy citizen and a jolly good fellow, and
for this reason, if for none other, we are sor
ry that the choice for the sacrifice at the
polls next Novemiier has fallen on him. He
will be beaten by something less than a mil

When be wat i;; Ins seat he watcbed tbe
aisle narrowly, and if be saw any passenger
get up and move toward tbe waler-cooler
he would jump up and race for it. If he
got there first, be would drink and snore
over the cup until thirsty passeugeis forgot
what he went dowu there for. People be
gan to wouder how much the boy was
gauged for and if he wasn't rather strain
ing bis capacity. The remotest bint or
suggestion x-as sufficient to send biru to
tbe cooler. W ueu the train ran over a
creek, the water made him think of bis
thirst. When it rallied over a long stretch
of prairie, tbe absence of water drove him
mad. I was afraid the supply of water
would give out before the boy was filled
up, and be was a rather small lxy, too.
His interior circumference, I think, must
have enclosed an nrea double in extent to
that enclosed by the exteiior belt. Near
Waseca,' we run nearly a mile without the
boy making a stop at tbe tank.
I grew very nervous now for I was fear
ful that during such an unbeavd of absti
nence from water, bis pumps would inn
dry, rust out, and be might blow up. So 1
leaned over tbe edge of the seat and said,
carelessly :
"By George, but I -am thirsty. I wond
er if there is any water ou this car?"
You want to understand nie bow, as re
cording . very plainly, and without any
mental reservation, tbe fact that that boy's
mother, sitting beside bim, was 110 fool.
Her eyes snapped when she heard my
careless and innocent remark, she look iu
every syllable tf it, and sbe turned ou me
in a Hash with : . .
"I wish you wonld mind your own busi
ness and leave my boy alone."
A low, mocking murmur ot applause
went thrrfugli the car, a little of it for tlie
iudignant mother, some of it for the charity
boy, but raostof it for me. She suppressed
yours truly very successfully, bat it was
too late. Long before she finished thnt
brief sentence, her boy was down at the
water-coler, holding his eyes tight shut
to keep the water from running out of
them, wbile he flooded bis system as

A new association, known as the Eng

in Washington city. It is proposed to urge
upon congress tne passage 01 a law oy
which 100,0(X Tolutiteeis may be enlisted
for five years, for military and agt icnltntal
purposes on the reservations of the Govern
ment. - lwelve skilled mechanics or arti
sans are to be in each company, and one
regiment of eacb corps is to be engtoeeis
exclusively. As soon as 10,000 men shall
be enlisted, they shall be sent to tho res
ervations, and upon their arrival shall lay
out a city, snd begin tbe erection of suita
ble quarters for a permanent settlement,
preparing ground lor agricultural purposes,
and developing tbe mineral resources of
the country. " Eacb corps to be furnished
by tbe Government with seed, stock, fai ru

to receive the same pay as regular soldiers,
and every person so enlisting shall, upon
honorable discharge, be entitled to a pa
tent for one hundred and sixty acres or
laud, as now provided for by tbe Home
slead act, or to one lot within the limits of
thecifv. as h9 may elect. Every alternate
lot is to be reserved to tbe United States.
the Republican party has managed to con
trol the government, first by lanattcism,
then by force, and lastly by fraud. Judge
Thurman in a speech be made at London,
Ohio, a few nights ago, said :
Everywhere T have been in tbe State t have
found the party solid as one mau. No pai ty
was ever so well conditioned. If we loe
this election it will be bacauso we hare not
done our duty to the cause we love, because
we like our ease betterthan we doonr party.
Let every Democrat do his duty at tbe next
election, and we are certain of victory.
After tbe 4th of March next there will lie
a Democratic Senate in the United States.
What a strange change, my friemls.
When I entered the Senate there were but
seven Democrats therein. After !".ie 4lb of
March next we will have a majority of six,
The Dmocrati; House has leen the means
cf accomplishing some grand results. It
was th means of restoring the silver coin
ace to circulation ; it was the cause of put
ting a rtop to miiitary interference with the
elections of the Slate.
These things wc.uld have never been ac
complished had they etiJ left to tbe Eepub
licane. If a Democratic Hons? has done so
md'.'h, wb:it tony we expert when wi have
both branches of Congress ?
This being the case, my friends, I lielieve
that, every one of you w ho believes in Demo
cratic principles every one who believes
that the Republican policy is not a wise pol
icy, In-lievi-s here should Ie change in our
administration. I appeal to you to see that
you elec t a solid Democrat for this Congres
sional district this fall. Of what use are
your Democratic principles if they are not
canicd into effect. D you ever reflect that
your influence in general government is con
fined to one day iu two ears? It is only
one day in this time that you have a riplit to
decide what, mau you 'will have to make
your laws. When you put in your ball t, if
o-i thai paper Ss inscribed tho name of a lie
publican, how can you say th.it you have
songht to carry Democratic principles into
t fleet ?
Eaitb is shown by works. Tbe man wba
sincerely lielieves in tbe principles of a
Democratic party will sc that be votes for
the man who wiil catty those priuciples iuto
effect.
These words will answer as well for
Pennsylvania as for Ohio. Let Democrats
who are impatient at tbe slow rcsu'ts that
follow their adherence to Democratic prin
ciples and support of the D'-mociatic org:v:i
ialicti, lovk at what we have achieved iu
liine years :
In 1S0;1, the Democrats In the United
Slates Senate, rnmtiered hut eight Senators,
while in tbe House of Ileprcseiitaiives we
bad but seventy-one Representatives.
There was more than a two thiids Radical
majority iu both branches, and that party in
Congress was sup euie a the law making
power. Tbe President's veto, as Andrew
Johusou found out, was a useless preroga
tive. This was the Congress that pased
tbe act nullifying the contract with ihe
bondholders, and making;the Winds payable
iu gold or siler coiu ; by another act of re
pudiation afterwards changed by this same
llepubiicau party, iu demonetizing si!rer,lo
gold coin.
But look at the results brought ationt by
faithful adherence to the Deinocratictjpariy
and our constant apnea's to tbe patriotism
ami eood sense of the people. We have had
control of the House of Representatives since
December, 1S73 ; the Senate is a tie, and af
ter the f-mrlh of Marcii next, will ie Dem
ocratic by a majority of not less than ten
and possibly fourteen. The law-making
power of the nation will be under tbe control
of the Democrrtic party in five months.
Heretofore, haviug only one bouse of Con
gess, our power on legislation was but of a
negative character. After tbe fourth of
March next it will be positive and coutroll
inff. Then the Democracy will be responsi
ble for the laws that are made, for tbe first
time in nearly tweoty years.
In lS'J'.i, the on'y States the Democrats
controlled, as indicated by tbe elections of
Governor; vere Connecticut, California,
Delaware, New Jersey and New York, five
in all. -All tbe lest were under Radical
rule, Now, out of the thirty-ehhf Sates iu
