De Witt Talmago thinks a boy has
a right to whistle on Sunday, provid
ed its a religions tunc. Mr. ialmage
might have the iutarludes between
the verses, suug in his church, per
formed by whistlers—it would draw a
crowd.
Nearly the entire democratic pro
of the state is asking that our senator
ial district elect Win. A. \N allaee to
the senate, where his ability and ex
perience are so much needed under
the new Constitution. Centre is the
only county in which a few politicians
would iuterfere with Mr. Wallace's
re-nomination. As Mr. Oivis is to he
re nominated for Judge, Centre there
in- gets her full share aud has no
right to ask for more —other counties
in this district also have their rights.
The liellefonte Republican, edited
bv two potato-bugs from Yaukeedom,
and a native grasshopper
tier, llcuyrhrcclc, i. e.. (.irasshopper
has already started the war against
Maekey, democrat, for C-ongress, and
belabor* us for favoring bis nomina
tion. The real purpose of iW
sheet is to create n division among
democrats bv pretenJing to }H>int out
other parties for the nomiuatiou. In
this the radical phatisees from N<
England will signally tail. Dcuu
crats of Centre county are not
bigoted as not to allow au honest ex
pression of preference, and besides,
they will listeu to all advice cowing
from the Republican's camp, with the
greatest suspie ao If auy Democrat
of this county desires the "complimen
tary" on Congress, we do not think
there will be any serious objection
w fr>m any good Democrat, and the
Republican can not stir up a fight on
that matter.
Some fellow has slandered the far-1
iners of Brush Valley, by writing a i
communication in favor of having all
the principal offices Ihlled by Belle
foDters, Congressman he wants at
Eellefoute, Senator at Bellefonte,
Judge, of course, which belongs to
Bellefonte, then Bellefonte to have:
District Attorney, and may gt-t As
sembly also. This would leave the!
small offices Auditor and Comtnis- 1
sioner, Ac., for the balance of the j
county. Now such is not the senti- 1
went of any farmer in Brush Valley
or Peuns Valley, for, on the other
baud, our honest farmers are, and
always have been, opposed to a clique
at Bellefonte having all the offices,
and such communications are wriiteu
by fellows who are fond of playing
into the hands of certain Bellefonters
who always try to monopolize all the l
offices. There are some good and
deserving Democrats at Bellefoute,
but they are not among those who
are continually begging for office.
Whoever is in favor of Bellefonte
having all the principal nominees on
the ticket, let him, like a man, say so
over bis own name, and not hide be
hind a fictitious name And if corn*
plimcntaries are to be passe! around,
there are as deserving democrats out
side of Bellefoute as in it. UJKJD whom
a senatorial and congressional recog
nition in the shape of a complimenta
ry would be deserviuglr bestowed,.
for instance, such Democrats as Ed. j
I erk s, T. M. Hall, Judge Alliseu.i
Mr. Woodward, Maj. Fisher, Sam'l.
* illiland, and a boat of others whose
names do not just occur to us. We go
in for fair play and iutend to advo
cate it—the honest tax paying Dem
ocrats of the townships are with us on
this matter, in spite of communica
tions bogualy signed "Farmer" de
nouncing us for adv<>cating justice
and fair play and honest and compe
tent nominees. Those persons have
nil through given the Reporter the
cold shoulder and have been in
leaugeto crfpple and crush this paper,
—they will fail to frighten us from
au outspoken advocacy of right demo
cratic men and measures.
We have been assured that on 48
hours notice the names of 1000 demo
cratic farmers can _be sent us, for pub
iication, who are opposed to one town
monopolizing nil the nominations,
complimentnries, Ac., now whoever
wants to kick against the pricks let
him say so over Ins own name. We
know the sentiment of the honest tax
paying farmers upon that subject, antl
politicians will liear in mind that
their muttering* of discontent must lie
heeded, for they have heretofore giv
en unmistakable evidence that things
can not be rammed down their throats
at pleasure. We have always been
the advocate of justice to the demo
crats outside of iiellefonte as well as
willing to accord the full measure of
justice to those in liellefonte.
Every year, after tli nominations,
the Democracy of PeDnsvalley com
plain of the injustice done them in the
ticket framed—now is the lime for
them to speak out as the ticket is
soou to be made. There are always
a few on this side who go against the
wishes of our people, aud these are
the ones who deuounce the Reportor
for fearlessly speaking for the rigid#
of the men in this valley who do the
democratic voting aud cast the demo
cratic majority.
"We here make an offer: If the
fellow who wrotf the communication
in favor of putting all the beat offices
to Bellefonte, and signs himself

ELECTION OK LKUM.ATOKS.
Forney'* Press has a sound article
under the above caption, an.l a- it
contains advice which will d<> to ot
ter in Centre county, as well as in
other ijuarlem we cannot torego pub
lishing it.
It is very evieeut, says the 1 rss,
that in many parts ot the state the ;
people will pay special attention to,
the titneaa ot the men nominated for
the Legislature, with reference more
particularly to their position on the
new constitution, while in other coun
tic* there will he an inditferenco man-1
i teste J on this point, as i usual with
people who do not take that interest in ,
political atfairs which they sin uld
Heretofore it has been too much tin
practice of both parties to allow a j
few men to make (iipjr pandidati*. aud
then, under the weight oi the party
lash, drive all to their support; hut
when the catastrophe of such a course
was reached the men who were really
responsible for it have demanded with
cool etfruutery that the independent
journalist should tinea himself
the breach, and battle with an evil,
which they could have prevented atj
the polls had tbav participated in the
primary electious and insisted -u lh
nomination of good men. It i Vfl l
evident now that the journalists to
whom we refer are resolved to force
the masses of both |<arties to take the
responsibility fully on this subject, by
Cviupelliug tiie poop!a io iuaJ.o theii
own inquire concerning the persoual j
j fitness and honesty of meu put forward
I for office, and particularly for that ot
' legislator. In reference to the new
constitution, the nest Legislature will
he the most important ever assembled
|in Harrisburg. What is demanded,
I then, is the utmost vigilance on the
j part of the frifiaji of the revised or
'ganic law, to elect itj trj-o #ud aide
supporters to represent them in the
Legislature. Just here the people
ought to begiu to learu that there is a
limit to personalities in politics. Ihs
c.omiualiou of bad men has, during
the past few years, called forth the
bitterest personal encounters daring I
political campsigus. Journalists were
forced iato such contests, who really
have no taste for such collision*, by
the people themselves clamoring for
the denunciation, and yet in the face
of the most crushiug exposures on
such occasions large masses id" those
who virtuously vaiioj on their local
orgaus to make the tight weni to the j
polls and cowardly but secretly sup-'
parted the very man whom they were
supposed to be antagonizing, and then
again, when the evil of electing such
men was realized by their acts while
in power, the people who nut them
there once more lookd to the pre** to
punish them for a derelictiou of duty.
Every reading man knows that what
we here state is true ; aud we are thei
more glad, therefore, to see that the
independent press of the slate is deter
miued, during the approaching caoi
paigu, to fores the people to take ths
teaponeibility of their own acts. Eve
ry voter is now abla to measure the
men who come before him for support.
Parties may pledge themselves in
platforms, but wheu tbev fail to Horn
inate the right kind of men such cov
enants are worthless. The friends of
the new constitution have but one du
ty ts perform, and that is to secure
the truest supporter* of that instru
ment for legislators. They must see
to this at the primary elections, when
such candidates are nominated. Tin v
have no right to expect the independ
ent journalist once more to eDgage in
a personal fight to secure corrections
for their personal neglect of their po
litical duty. The notoriety of had
men seeking political power no longer
requires the advertisement of the in
dependent press. The people in eve
ry locality have had to too much ex
perience for the pust eight years uot
( to know their faithless public servants,
so that when they or their tools arc
made candidates for responsible pla
cea we insist that the people
shall take the entire responsi
bility of their electicn. Heuce we an
ticipate a very quiet political contest
in Pennsylvania this year. There
will be more exercise of calm judg
meet and more independent voting
than was ever doue, because by thus
forcing the people to take the respon
sibility, kunves and demagogues, who
manage to secure nomination;', will he
quietly scrutinized hy every voter, and
their merits and demerits weighed and
exposed.
The time for holding the Demo
cratic Co. Convention is approaching,
when nominations will be made to fill
the various county offices. Wc beg
to remind the democracy again of the
importance of nominating good men
in order to preserve harmony and se
cure the success of the ticket by au
increased majority. Let the rank
and file of the party not forget that
the delegate elections are all iiiijior
t&nt. Elect good men, sjicli as ran
not. be thimble*rigged after they get to
Bellefonte, as so often has been the
complaint Let your instructions be
f>r the best and strongest men. We
want honest men, upon the ticket
men who care for the interests of Un
common classes, and men who will
have an eye to the amelioration of the
tax-ridden people. Democrats, we
repeat, attend the primary elections.
Give your delegates to understand
what you expert of them, aud let
your delegates be meu who will hon
estly, faithfully, and intelligently
discharge their duties.

BV A HL'RRICANK—GREAT
t FIRE IN ALLEGHANY CITY.j
s About half past seven o'clock on
the evening of the Fourth a severe
' hurricane visited Washington, I). C.
Large signs from business nou.-ex were
j blown down, and the llag-statT of tin
I National Hotel fell with a crash, neai
several persons who were standing on
. tho pavement. The steeple of the
Metropolitan M. E. Church was much
" shattered, having beeu moved five
j feet from it# perpendicular, It is now <
' in a dangerous condition, and may .
; 1 have to be rebuilt. Truuks of trees j
,: three feet in circumference were snap
ped off, and ornamental shade trees
i all over the city, including many in
' j the Capitol and President's grounds,
• j were destroyed. Five houses in u
t row were completely stripped of their
. roofs, which were carried a distance
of several hundred feet. Several car
riages passing along the streets were
' overturned, one of the lady occupants
i sustained severe injury. While n
number of colored children were en
joying themselves in a hall, the roof
fell in. Although great excitement
ensued, only n few were injured and j
none badly. A Pennsylvania Avcn-|
ue ca. a; blown ten feet from thei
track, and minor injuries ere ipnu* 1
merable.
In Alleghany city, on the* after* i
noon of tho Fourth, a square and a <
lutlfof buildings, principally dwellings,
oil the west side of Federal street, and i
three or four were burned
at one time. It was leared that the I
whole of the upper part of the city <
would be destroyed, us the water was '
scarce and a high wind prevailed, but 1
the flames were gotten under control '
about J p- ID. Over one hundred '
bouses were destroyed, Ipsying many '
families homeless. The loss will c
probably reach SdOO.OOO. The fire 1
originated from fire crackers thrown 1
into a carpenter shop by boys while nt *

powered to back tho character of Christ in
ilio (ii>i|x-lr, and bin miracle* a* part of
that charactor, acknowledged MI to be,
against all the contradictions and myster
ies, the riddle* H tnl difficulties, assumed or
real, or never yet disentangled, historic,
scientific. chronological, or any otherwise,
over .vol presented. for Ilia character
without the miracles is that of an impostor,
and tno miracles without the character
are absolutely impossible. The character
is not to he accounted for except bv ad
mitting Deity, divine purpose and power;
and (bat given, all the rest follows. Hut
the supposed contradictions can be ac
counted for in ninny ways. Mistakes of
•>opvisit, of numerals, of marginal glosses,
critical ignoraneu. want of knowletfge our
selves to fill up tho gaps, or pontoons to
bridge them ; the loss of keys out of histo
ry, keys of interpietation; many such
things may liavo created insoluble precip
itants in a vase of transparent elements.
Hut we have all the knowledge requisite,
of tho chargptpr and plan uf Christ, and
nothing wanting In that lor absolute per
lection and consistency ; nor would any
thing added that is unknown, either dis
null or npotraKae the divine reality, or
slter the grand features of wlmt is written,

liscipllne, and often in liod's daily work
with us there is a combination of both the
latum! and the miraeulous. One day in
ruit harvest, tho gardener in a friend's

udicalism and grafting. He had grafted
i itossiler pear upon the root and stock of
i quince tree. Then, when that had
trpfh a JMC or tum, |ig graft*} St.
u ichael's pear <m the top of tho whole.
Vow the lust grull takes tho perfection of
ill the preceding p recess ess and powers,
ind this year the whole St. Michael's top
f the tree was as full of delicious pears in
lusters as a thrifty Hamburg grape-vine
of grapes. What is very curious in this
use is, that both tho Kotsiler branches
nd the St. Michael's were full of blossoms,
quglly (all, hpt t||o Michael's part ol
lie tree bore all the fruit. Now if the
car had been grafted merely on a pear
