It con tains a vast amount of official statistics, and jiolitical itnformai ion, and a.s it is well arranged for ready reference will be particularly useful to Democratic campaign speakers. Pon the week ending August II the average daiiy circulation 'of the Phila delphia ! Til was tW.oTl copies. This is a wonderful triumph in journalism ami (shows what a high degree of .suc cess a cheap newspaper in the fullest ac ceptation of the term, when conducted with the enterprise and marked abilitv of the Unrttnl can attain. Tin: notorious inii.lel lecturer, 15ob lngt rsoll, has taken the .stump for Gar field, and on Friday last made a speech in Massachusetts, abusing the Demo crats as bitterly as he denounces the Christian religion. la attempting to overthrow the Scriptures and to elect iarlield, P.ob has tl.e biggest contract on his hands that he has ever yet under taken. A II AHMr.Kss Ih-puhiic.vi sheet ex presses the opinion that '"(ieii. Hancock is not as well known to the fople as a Presidential candid, tte should be. " If this w;u even pirtially true, Hancock has a big advantage over CarficM, who, unfortunately for himself and his party, is entirely too well known to the jn ople ever to induce them to elect him to th". Presidency, Hancock, to be so obscure a man and so unknown to the people, seems to be making friends with alarm ing rapidity, and bids- fair In-fore Xovem 1kt to have pretty near the whole coun try at his back. Avrr.it all the other Republican pa pers in the wc.-tern part of the State bad become tin. roughly ashamed of the cruel hoax that had been played upon them, the Indiana stray r of last week, awaking from its Kip Van Win kle sleep, came boldly to the front with the exploded statement about a Nation al Labor Convention having been held at Sharon, Mercer county, at which six ttti. states were represented by -22' del egates, who declaied for Carfield for President by a majority of J" over both Hancock and Weaver. There was no nidi gathering and coiiseipiently no such vote. Two weeks .f: the Johnstown 7V- b'oie said that John Cessna, Chairman of the Kepublieii!i State Committee, 'promises a majority of sixty thousand in this State,' and now this same brag gart Cessna, who was in Washington last week, stated to the Republican mana gers there that the majority in Pennsyl vania next XovcihIkt "cannot iossib!y be less than -JO,! no." If Cessna can now roost "i f.1 thousand lower than he did two weeks ago, it will only require one week more, at the same rate of de crease, to knock his twenty thousand as high as a kite, and open his eyes to the slnhlxTii fact that Pennsylvania is cer tain to go for Hancock. If we would attempt to publish every week the names of prominent and in f.ucntial Republicans nil over the North v no oienly avow their intention to vote for Hancock, we would have very little, room in our paitr for anything else. During lat week three such ac cessions to the Hancock army in this State came uudei our notice, to wit : Dr. Mich'l Heck, of Lycoming county, who was the Republican candidate for Mate Senator in his district four years ago and the Greenback candidate for Lieut. Governor two years ago ; William JLossey, a member of the Union League, Philadelphia, and principal owner of the Philadelphia and Atlantic City rail road, and Hon. J. R. White, of Mercer, formerly a leading Republican in the western part of the State, and last year rn ac!ic C'rcf l.ba'-k stomp sjieaker. Of all localities in Alabama, Lowndes county is the very last one that the Al toona Tribune ought to have selected to show that either "force" or "fraud" was resorted to by the Democrats at the recent election in that State. But it lias rashly placed its reliance on the vote of that county, and now let us see what the Tribune has made out of its choice. It.says, and correctly too, that "in 1S70 there were 4,1.V2 votes east for the Ha)e3 electors, and 1,30!). for the Tilden electors," and then adds, "yet at the recent election, with a Democrat ic vote which could not possibly have exceeded 1,. '''), and w hich, therefore, on an honest count gave the Republicans a majority of "2,000, there ;vas returned a majority for the Democratic ticket of 1,3'W liy way of removing the scales from the Tribune's eyes in regard to Southern elections, we stated hist week what the Tribune very well knows, but won't admit, that since the overthrow of the cari;t-bag governments in the South a large percentage of the negroes have attached themselves to the Demo cratic party and vote for its candidates, and we will now prove the truth of that declaration so far as Lowndes county is concerned. There are trn Democratic newspaiers in Alabama edited and own ed by colored men, one of them being the Iluntsville Jlrruhl, whose editor is W. II. Councill, who is also principal of the Colored Normal School at the .same place. He was a slave and during the days of caritet-bag rule he w as a violent Republican. He is tLirty years old, and being possessed of very decided ability soon saw through the manifold villainies of carpet-bag patriots. During the late campaign In Alabama he was constant ly on the stump for the Democratic tick et and while so engaged visited Lown des county. In his paier of August 0th, only four days after the election, he says : "We went to Lowndes county week he fore last to assist in the canvass. On the night of our arrival we spoke to a small aud ience in the Court limine. We never met kinder people, than in Lowndes. The white people of the county are laboring earnestly by acts of kindness to convince the colored people that the tales circulated by their vic ious leaders are untrue. "On Wednesday of last week a bar'iecue was given, to whieh'all were invited, irrespec tive of party oi race. - It. was the nicest affair we ever saw. The first people of the county were out, and the olive liiauch of peace was .offered the colored people, and we are proud to say that the better class of colored people in Lowndes were willing to forget the past and 'clasp hands over the bloody chasm.' "I'p until last month colored men never voted their .sentiments, because of tho bull dozing carried on by the Radicals." After further reference to the bull dozing practices of the Radicals in that county, he concludes his article by say ing : "Rut, thank Ood, the sun of liberty has arisen in Lowndes and more t Urn a tli.nixawl colored men roterl the Itumoi rntir ticket there la ft yinwluii, ami will hereafter be protected from the assaults of the hull-dozer." Now if "more than a thousand color ed men voted the Democratic ticket' in Lowndes count', as this colored editor says they did, and he ought to know how it was, the figures of the Tribune burn ing a Republican majority in Lowndes of "Jmhi are pretty effectually wiped out. Is the Tribune satisfied about Lowndes county, or does it prefer to wait until these same thousand colored men, as well as thousands more like them in Ala bama and in every other Southern Stale, have voted for Hancock in November? They will do it, and then ierhaps the Tribune will stop its stereotyped cry alout fraud and. intimidation in South ern elect ions. Wmii.f. we are not disposed to indulge in any brag about Hancock's election, it is due to our readers, as a matter of po litical news, to state that in the judg ment of the most reliable Democrats in Illinois and Wisconsin, Jthere is the strongest reasons for believing that the votes of those two States will be cast for Hancock. The change to Hancock in Ijoth, and especially among the (Jer nian.s, is represented as being not only astonishing, but sufficient to warrant the belief we have indicated. If hard and thorough work ean win success it will be achieved. A like detei mination to carry Ohio animates the Democrats of that State, and such men as Thnrman, Pendleton. Hurd, Running, Kwing, and scores of other leading Democrats, speak very confidently of carrying the October election. The important fact that the Republican ex-Lieut. Governor Muel ler, of Cleveland, a week ago last night came out for Hancock in a most elo quent speech before the (iernian Repub lican Liberal Club, is a sufficient an swer to the boast of an Ohio lunatic who was in Johnstown last week tick ling the ears of the Republican ground lings of that place with the transparent story that Garfield's majority in Ohio would be oO.ooo. Tiik Republican State Committee of Arkansas met at Little Rock on yester ' day week and resolved not to put a State ticket in the held. This is the same game that was played by the Republi can State Oomn itlce in Alabama, and having thus contributed to a sweeping Democ-atic majority, their loyal friends in the North at once set up the old and stale cry of fraud and force, intimida tions, bulldozing, shotgun policy, and all manner of forcible and bloody meth j ods, to account for their defeat and ex , plain why the South is solid for Demo ! eratic supremacy. The Arkansas elec tion w ill take place on Monday, the 0th ; of September, and a Republican defeat ' w ill be the certain outcome. Yet every Republican paper at the North will re , iterate the charge of fraud and intimi- dation, attributing the result to every cause but the true one. i The Independent Republicans of 1 James A. Garfield's Congressional dis trict in Ohio, at a meeting held at War- i i ren on Sept. 7, lsTO, w hen he w as a can date for re-election, adopted the follow ing among other resolutions : "Hftnhiil, That there is no other man, to day, officially connected with the administra tion of the National iovernment, against whom are justly preferred more and graver charges ol oirrmtilion than are publicly made, 1 and ahimila fitly sustained, against James A. ' (iarfield, the present representative of this Congressional District, and the nominee of ; the Republican Convention for re-election." This is the same man whom the great party of purity and jtolitieal morality , has nominated for President, and who, , since he first entered Congress, says an other resolution adopted at the same ' meeting, "has been the ready champion j ef rings and inoi'ope'Iies." 01 R PHILADELPHIA LETTER.

The recent terrible calamity on the West Jersey Railroad w ill be lemember ed ver3' much as one on the North Penn Railroad many years ago. Roth trains were learing excursionists and both accidents, so called, were attended with serious loss of life. It was a railway wreck caused by gross negligence, and as a natural result there is a popular outburst of indignation. It was a sad day's pleasure trip to the sea shore. A COLOSSAL OUT I! A OK. Upwards of l.iO.VMHi.ooOof acres of the public .domain have been granted by Congress to various Pacific Rail Road corporations, and charters of the most liberal character have also leen given them. These roads were intended by Congress to be great national highways, uniting the Atlantic and Pacific States in closer union, and, while thus strength ening the Government in' its territorial integrity, subserving above si 1 1 else the advantajye of the people by means of speedy ami cheap communication. The main argument used in the support of the claims ef the projectors of these great railroads was that they would im menseiy contribute to the general wel fare. It wasu pon this plea of an antici ipated advantage to the people that the vast advantages, franchises and grants Ave re beste"ved upon them. To-day there is a prospect that at no far distant day all t lie transcontinental railroad lines within the territory of the I'nited Staies will be wholly in operation un der a single management. At the an nual meeting of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company in this city last week, a conference was held by Col. Scott, Jay Gould and other railroad magnates, at which 0,M) miles of railroads, were con solidated. This joint ownership of 0, (KH) miles of railroad is a substantial monopoly of the carrying business be tween the eastern and western sections of the Union ; so that, directly contrary to the understanding of Congress, the whole transcontinental system of the country is to be gobbled up by one man, or one combination of men, making them and their successors masters of the situation for all time to come. Jay Gould already owns and controls the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific, besides either important roads, which are to be elements in the proposed con solidation. This combination is one of the most colossal outrages of the centu ry. Jay Could's promiirent participa tion in the annual meeting of the Texas Pacific Railway Company in this city last week is significant, and the fact that he hits a controlling voice in its af fairs is well calculated to excite alarm. It is not probable that these corjiorat ions would have been so graciously t mi ted by Congress if results of the sort now being realized had been thought as like ly to occur. These big railroad corpora tions are grand things, and all our city jeuiniiils gave w hat I have censured an immense amount of taffy. The papers, however, dispensed their taffy with charming disinterestedness, as they were merely rewarded by lcing giwn as an advertisement the publication of the, proceedings. PONDEROUS DAVIs I HiHT. David Davis says : "The Government must Ik: got out of the ruts in which it has too long Ik en run."" He further says: "New blood must be infused into the management of public affairs before relief can lie expected. The people de mand a change, and, being in earnest, they are likely to be gratified." Yes, IKinderous Davis is right. The people desire a change, and they will have a change. His conclusions will have due weight with thinking men who know bis abilities and consider his antece dents. Mr. Davis' position on the fence had one decided advantage. It was highly favorable to deliberation. He could loe-k dispassionately on both sides. He siiw that Republican chronic abuses could only be reformed by a change of rulers. AN A I'l'A I. LI NO FACT. , The re is a condition of things so preg nant with coming disaster to the Re publicans that even blind men ean see it, which is this: The vote in 1S70 showed that a majority ef over one million of white men supported the Democratic candidate for the Presiden cy. The most appalling fact, there-lore, that confronts the Republican adminis tration in the United States is the pre dominence of vhite men in the Demo cratic party. WAS ORANT IN THE WHISKY RlNfi V John McDonald, of "Whisky Ring"' notoriety, in his Ixiok on the whisky frauds says that President ('rant was "a silent nicnik-r of the 'Whisky Ring that he used his influence to prevent dis closures and to defeat the prosecution of members of that ring that in all his ac,ts he imjieded Rristow's efforts to convict P.abcock, Avery, McKee, and McDonald himself." He says that Rris tow knows his statement to Ik? true, and calls upon that gentleman to tell the whole truth. McDonald appeals to Rristow for the facts in the case, and that in so doing "he w ill confer an abso lute blessingon the American people." Mr. Rristow, however, don't seem to lie w illiug to confer such a blessing, though there is not a shadow of doubt but what Gen. ("rant, while President of the I'nited States, shared in the benefits of the whisky frauds. THE APrHOAC'IIIXft HATE FAIR. One characteristic feature of the com ing state Fair is the absence of the race course. While, this fact may keep away many objectionable accessories ef agri cultural fairs, the exhibit of finely-bred stock will be the best ever seen in this State. The interest in the State Pair increases as the time for its opeirng ap pioaches. DIAMONDS IX A SHAVIXO BRUSH. There were found in the handle of the shaving brush of the notorious sharper, Col. Ralph. Rollins, who died in the Penitentiary recently, ?10,0oo worth ef diamonds. The gay Colonel had two wives, but which of them will be enti tled to the precious stones has not yet leeii decided. The death of this noto rious character is liable to lead to some very interesting litigation about the ownership of the diamonds. THE STATE ISI-t KXTEXXIAL.

With your National, State and Coun ty liominationsall made, it is to tie hope-d that the Democratic sons of Cambria are fully prepared to renew their strug gle against the many shaped and the many faced enemies of the Democratic party. Once more your banner has been flung to the breeze. In every State of the Union, and in every section of each State, the invincible sons of the Democratic creed are rivalling each other by their gallant and courageous bearing in efforts to pluck the wreath of a glorious victory in November next. There are thousands of honest Republi cans who will not enioll themselves un der the banner of the bloody shirt and follow the leail of men whose object is power and spoils. The pe-ople are awa kening as from a horrid dream, and are disgusted with the heresies of the leaders they have so long unwittingly lieen fol lowing. The geod men of all parties w ho feel and see the necessity of a change of the administration of the government are acting with the Democratic party, knowing that in that party is the only ark of safety. Lec the Democrats of Cambria all en list for the campaign, and never falter or cease the rallying cry until victory is lurched uion their banner. Your Democratic brethren abroad are watch ing your progress with intense anxiety, and are cherishing an unwavering faith in your devotion to the vital principles of the party. Therefore let not the Democrats of Cambria incur the re proaches of their biethren in other por tions of Pennsylvania by suffering the cohorts of the. ""bloody shirt"' to swell their vote in your county. The Demo crats of every county and township should be up anil doing active work for this canvass. G. N. S. TKTITII HI.K RAII.ltOAO I)S STK.U. At half past six o'clock on Wednesday evening of lat week the second section of the excursion train which left Atlantic City at C o'clock ran into the first section, telescoping the rear car, killing two persons nnd injuring alont twenty-five others. Passengers on the ill-fated train who arrived on the .1.:?o express from Camden at midnight, givf "the follow ing ac count of the disaster: The excursion train consisted of twenty-four cars, sixteen in the first and eight in "the second section. The train was filled with the St. Ann's Catholic excursionists from Kensington, Philadelphia. The first section left Atlantic City at ti o' clock and the second followed soon after. All went well until the first section reached May's Landing, w hen the engineer slowed up and started to run on the siding, toallow the passage of the ."i.MO express from Camden. All the cars had passed the switch except two, when the second section came tlmnilci ing on behind. The engineer of the hitter section whistled down brakes as he ap proached the switch, hut when the brakes were applied they failed to work, owing to the wet, and the rear locomotive crashed into the last car of the first section, telescoping it Bud causing a fearful wreck. As the loco motive forced its way into the car the cylin der heads were forced open, and a cloud of steam poured through the car scalding nearly every passenger in it. In an instant there was a scene of fearful excitement. The sound of the hissing steam and shrieks of the terrified passengers were blended and carried through the cars, striking terror to the hearts of all. The crowded cars were speedily emptied, and everv effort was made to aid the wounded. The injured were taken to the Pennsylvania hospital in Philadelphia, and sixteen have since died. The Rellcfonte Wi'lrlium gives some very sensible ail vice to the Democrats who are inclined to let their enthusiasm run away with all their energies and in their hurrahing forget the more essen tial work of organization for victory. Under the election laws of Pennsylva nia, f r;uiied to prevent iriegular au-1 ille gal voting, certain prerequisites are ne cessary to a legal vote and he who at tends to these faithfully and promptlj renders much more efficient service to the party than those who get up clubs, meetings or jHih s. For example, plenty of voters who would "turn out' night after night will never think of looking ;it the assessor's book to see if their names are properly registered, and the loudest shoulcr at the meeting will ut terly ignore, his payment of State and county tax. ami trust to the ""commit tee" to .save him from disfranchisement. Enthusiasm is a good thing. We have it and we are glad of it. Rut we want sol id work and that work just now con sists in looking after the registry of every denucratie voter. If this is not done by Sept. "2d it cannot be done at all, and he who does it for himself can only be certain that it is done for him. At tend to the registry, Democrats ! PnovnuNi: Aoainst Miskoktuxf.. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company tines its employes for negligence, mistakes, disobe dience of orders', etc. Every effort is thus made to secure promptness, obedience ami the utmost care in the work done. These fines, of course, aggregate to a large sum of money and this is placed to the credit of what is known as "'The Fine Fund." Then, if an employe is injured, relief is given him from this fund. It he loses a leg, in all probabili ty a cork limb is provided for him out of the fund, and if a workman is killed, whether through his own carelcssncs or that of the company, the clianeesare that his family will receive a cheek to pay funeral expenses. A valued hand in case of extreme sickness may be aided financially and so it goes. As fast as the money comes in from fines it goes out again to relievo the unfortunate among the railroad men.

The man whom Hancock defeated atOettys hurg ftieneral Longstreet) is to-day holding the office of Minister of the I'nited states to Turkey at a. large salary under the Republi can Administration, while the party who gave him office are denouncing Oeneral Hancock as a tiaiior. Mr. A lexander Williams, of Roston, owns a cane which, it is sai.l, he is about to pre sent to Oeneral Hancock. The cane is over l.'O years old, with a carve.

Oarlield doesn't think much of Thomas Jefferson. Senator Wallace has un earthed one of the I)e Oolyer candidate's old speeches in the Hons.-, in which he expressed t he opinion that the tame of Jefferson was "waning," and announced in the same breath that he was in favor of a stronger government in this country. In is:gi there were in the six New Eng land States only 4n,iis- Catholics, 27 priests, 22 churches, and .V other ecclesiastical build ings unfinished. Ten years later there were in four of these States," omitting Connecticut and Rhode Island, f,i;.l!4 'atholies, :tn pi ie.sts, :'.7 churches and :!2 chapels and stations. Now there are in ail 7.;h.1im Catholics, ."li priests, .".(12 cnurches and 1 .14 stations. Lark Edivards, a drunkard, boasted in a barroom at Somerset, Ohio, that he had mur dered a man eighteen years I e ore. He de scribed the exact spot where he bad buried the body. He was a notorious liar, and no body In'lieved his story ; but soon afterward human bones were unearthed at the sot he had indicated. He has been arrested, and there is evidence enough to probablj- convict him. In Pittsburgh A'ex. Morgan, a colored man. aged 4."i, with a young white wife, caught her and a yellow paramour as they were about to elope. He missed him w ith the razeir, but got 'he gay Lothario sent to the workhouse. Carrie Anderson was the name of the young white woman before she mairied the negro, nine months ago. She comes of good faniilj', is well educated and very prettj". Elsworth Rlack, a lad of sixteen, has reached IVtrolia after having traveled the entire distance from Fort Worth, Texas, on a Texan pony. He left Fort Worth May loth, nnd has traveled steadily but leisurely since that time, except three weeks, when he was detained by sickness, fording streams where there was toll to pay, foraging for sustenance, and at times using the bro:ul canopy of the heavens for a blanket. Late on Saturday riight Mrs. Mary Ford sought Jeiemiah Ford, her husband, who was drunk in a saloon near their residence in New York city and took him home. He re fused to enter the bouse and in a quarrel that followed knocked her down, leaving her in Sensible on the pavement. The police found her and look her to Rellevue hospital, where she died. Ford was arrested and locked uji to await an examination. The ceremony of marrying John Hall and the Widow Miller was performed bj- a justice at Cincinnati. The couple went to a restaurant for a wedding dinner. After the meai was over the husband said that he had an ertand to do, but would not be absent more than ten minutes. He put one arm around the hi ide's neck, and kissed her, and with the disengaged hand tookflMiO from lier pocket. She has not seen him since. A New York editor has been offering a thousand dollars to any person who shall abstain the longest from food in a fasting match. He says there are already five en tries. The fifth contestant was sent by Dr. Hammond. He claims that he can abstain from food and water for thirtv davs, and an additional twenty days from food. The match is expected to begin about the first of September. It is said that Dr. Hammond has eonseiife-d to assist in supervising the contest. On Thursday John McDonald apieared in Niles, a small town near Cleveland, look- j ing for work. Next etaj' at noon on going home Da: ius Parks found McDonald in his j house wilh Mrs. Parks. McDonald was or dercd out, hut instead of going undertook to put Parks out, whereupon th latter seized a gun and lodged fourteen shot in McDonald's heart, causing instant death. Parks give himself up to the authorities, and is held on a i charge et murder till t he mystery of the af fair can be setlleel. Napoleon R. Arthur deserted his wiTe and family at Marysviile, Old", twenty j-ears ami toel.ioe with a"iici"hbor's daughter. His I wife remained on the farm, and reared their children, while be wandered about the, coun try. A poor, bloken old tramp presented himself recently at the homestead. This was the wreck of the husband and father. He begged for food and lodging, expressing the utmost contrition for bis bad twhavior. The wife acted with promptness. She set the dog on him and he bar'dv escaped w ith his life. A letter to the lies Moines st"tt ?";.'t from a responsible citizen of Sigoumcy gives tue information on the authority of an eye witness that the notorious Render family, four in number, were captured soon after the discoverv of the murder of Colonel Yorke. The eve-wit ncss says t hat. t lie four were stood up in "a row facing nine ritleinen, a nil were told their fate ; that Kate was plucky to the hist ami called upon their raptors to "shoot and he " and that the four bodies were buried at the corner of the four counties of Labette, Wilson, Neosho and Montgomery. James D. Love, a ineir.bel of the Phila delphia Common Council from the Thiitieth ward, and Secretary of the Sectional Roard nf Public Ed neat ion, has tied the city to escane his credit irs. Rove was an influential Re publican politician, and has occupied several prominent public positions. A slant time since he left the citv, ostensibly on a trip for the benefit of his health, but a letter received from him dated St. Louis announces that he has no intent ion of returning. He stales that during the last campaign he incurred heavy obligations which he had no means of meet ing, and dare not return. --The oldest Raplist minister in Western Pennsylvania recently entered bis !i2d year, and is' residing on his farm near Canard's Fort, Oreen county. Reserved the churches in (hut region for in. my years, but as his mind is now impaired and he has not kept a record of his work his time of service is not exactly known. He distinctly remembers many vents which have long since passed into his tory, lie was present at the Redstone As sociation when Alexander Campbell separa ted from the Raptists ; also when theMonon gahcla Association was formed. His early com pa ii ions in '.he ministry have all passed away, and now, an old veteran, under the weight of inanv vears, he awaits his Master's call. Solomon (l. J'.ootb is a teamster of High land, N. V., and by dint eif industry and ' economy has accumulated considerable ! property. He has always stood well in the j community, be and his wife being meinlMTS of the Highland Methodist church. He has ; nine children. One morning recently he and his children awoke to find that. the. wife and mothei had decamped w ith the brother ef her husband. Luther Rooth, her lover, is a well-to-do farmer living near Highland. He and his brother Solomon have always been on the most friendly teims. but it was ; never suspected that Luther and his sister- ; in-law Were unduly int imate. Tie-pair have left for parts unknown, I. other Rooth -also deserting a large familv. The Riooklyn ' having aiei ted that i Oeiieral Arthur's father was an Irishmiti. the Rrooklyn I'tthm .rjn hastens to deny it and to affirm that be was a Scotchman. The New York H'n7 says that the t uion-Ariins is a paper devoted to (iartield and knows IP tie about Arthur. On the other hand, there are J-iiirnals devoted to Arthur and which care little for ( iarfield. It is, therefore, not . remarkable that either class of journals should know little of that of which it cares little. If course the l'.ngte was right am! the ')('-. tiy was wrong, (ieneral Rris lin's campaign life of (ieneral Arthui states that his father "was a young Protestant Irishman from Rallymena, County Antrim, and a graduate of Relfast College." It is announced that the Rev. W. E. Ad dis and Rev. T. Arno'd, English Catholic clergymen, are preparing, in London, the , publication of a Catholic cncyclop-.ciiia. in one compact volume, which is intended to j be an elementary manual of reference on all points of ecclesiastical interest which continually present themselves not only to Catholics hut Protestants, as to the doctrine, usage ii lid practice of the Catholic Church. Such a win k will he a boon to people of all persuasions. Half the misrepresentations' made !t- people of one belief and practice regarding tlm-e whose belief and practice 1 are radically different have their origin in ignorance. The light shed by this publica tion will probably be of great ai l in helping peeiple to understand each other. The. Stra-burg Free I 'rex tells this story of equine sagacity: The other day a horse belonging to our clever railroad engineer, Mr. ( li'ii. R. 'front, whilst out in pasture, wan dered upon the railroad track, and by some means got one o; his feet fast. He soon got , his foot loose, however, but in so doing bent a part of t he shoe direct iy dow nw ard, causing him to walk very lame. Now, what do you suptwise that hot-e did? Why b" walked up to Mr. Eiias Ream's blacksmith shop and into the shoeing shed, of his ow n accord, rcTf-m- , ber, and waited to have his shoe fixed. The ' smiths, not understanding his presence, and the horse not being able lo tell them what he wanted, chased him away. Mr. Trout then noticed his faithful animal's trouble and had it removed immediately. Such wisdom and good sense is rarely found in a horse. Information has Iwen received at Ra leigh. N. ( '., of a ten ible tragedy in Franklin counly, by which Elam Wester, a young . farmer, who was acting as the best man at a runaway wedding, had two loads of buckshot put into his left breast. II seems that Wes ter's int imate friend, Mr. ll.'.verlock Styles, has for some time pa-t been in love with Miss Ophelia l 'pchurcii. the daughter of Hcnjamin Upelmrch, a well-to-do farmer in Nash coun ty. The young lady returned his affections, but the father would not give his consent, and the parties agreed upon an elopement. Wester and Styles met the young lady and carried her to Nash county, got the license and were quietly married. Just after the reremonv was concluded, Mr. Upchurch, armed with a double-barreled shot. gun. rod up. He leveled it nt Wester and tired the two barrels, charged with buckshot, into the young man's left breast. Wester fell w ithout saying a word. Styles fled to the woods, leaving his newly-married bride to the mer cies of the enraged father, who carried her home. All Mie patties lived in Nash countj-. Thf.
