The democratic delegate election, will be held in a few weeks in this county. Thus far we have not observed much bitterness among the differeut candi dates who are canvassing the county for support. We trust that this indication of good feeling will prevail unto the end, and that when the'nomiuatiou* are made, the disappointed ones will be equally satisfied with those who may be fortunate enough to be placed in nom ination. All the county offices are to be filled at the November election —this makes it important that the t-itiiens take an interest in the nominations, and fix upon honest and capable men for these important place*. The whole choice really rests with the people. They have the power at the primary elections to say who shall be delegates, and to instruct those delegates for men who will make faithful officers. Let this du ty be attended to and there will be leas cause for grumbling and disatisfaction when the ticket is framed. If the trick ster, and trader and the wire-puller gains the upper hand it must be because the honester portion of the voters are ab sent when the delegate elections are held, while ke is there with his hireling and runs things to serve his own pur poses. We do not care who the nomi nees may l*e—only so they are honest and capable. If the democracy nomi nate men who have these important re quisites it will be an easy matter to elect them by 1000 majority. Attend the del egate elections then and make your pow er felt through instructions in favor of men who will be faithful pub lic stewards. 11 11 IS EE YASD WA TER. The radical press of this state is dis pleased with the temperance people be cause they nominated candidates for governor and state treasurer, yet the radicals claim to be the temperance j"ar ty and always used the temperance ques tion when it suited them well enough to humbug the voter with it. Now when the real and consistent temperance men of the state do not propose to be humbug ged by these men and aid in electing two-faced Hartranft, who killed local option, and who has played whiskey and anti-whiskey, as it best suited, why these sham advocates of sobriety commence to scold at the men who are honest in their temperance profession, because they set up as their standard bearers Kev. Brown for governor and Mr. Pen* nypacker for state trcarurer, instead of going for the radical sham, whiskey- CO 1 d-w at er-wor m-fence-Uke-a-little teetotal nominees Hartranft and Kawle. If Hartranft is a temperance man, as he professes to be, why does he visit the sa loons and drink beer with the Germans and say he is all right, and then go out and link arms with the prohibitionists? I f he is a temperance man, why did he i sign the repeal of the local option act, when the whole temperance element of the state opposed such a repeal and im portuned him to veto it ? Answer these questions, Bellefonte Kepublican, Wil liamsport Gazette, Lock Haven Repub lican, or any other organ of the sham saints. The fact is Hortrauft is a week, vacil lating, double faced sham, afraid to take a determined stand upon tHe temper ance question, and the temperance peo ple do not intend to be humbugged by him. He is not to he trusted by the prohibitionists or the anti-prohibition ists. Hartranft can take a gjn-coek tail or whiskey straight if that argu ment will influence a vote. He IUJIU out water in one hand and whiskey iu the other where the two sides confront him,"and by sleight of hand will pour them into the same glass and drink to the success of both.

We suppose the Kepublican may have some warrant for it* statement* in the main, as to Hon. 1' tl. Meek. Vnd if it be true that he t* hobnobbing the tern* perance uven, the grangers, and Junior :*on*. a* alvove alleged, it can certainly do hiui no good. Secret political organ* nations are anti-democratic, and any affiliation with them is a breach of party faith and cannot le encouraged by the democracy of Centre county. We here state that the Republican knows not whereof it affirms w hen it as serts the "J unior Son*" ran be uml to control the democratic primaries this fid!. It iaan organisation that seems to be the degenerate offspring of such de generate men a* W. W. Brown, Dunham A Co., and all honest democrat* w ill give it a wide berth, and any democrat who attempts to use it fur the purpose of self preferment, must -hare the fate of gen eral defeat. We also deny that P. < • Meek owns the domocratic party oft Vn tre county as the Republican assert*. He has his position in the party n* ev ery other democrat, but does not own it, nor does any other one man or set of men own it. We have no Grantiam in the democratic party. The Republican sneer* at AtliUti Hoy, Esq., bevauso he u competent to sjKak the dutch or German laugtmgc, and in sinuate* as though it is an evidence of commonness of character, *o low iu an individual as to render him ineligible to the S>tate Scnatorehip. Scholarship is no disgrace to any man and has always been deemed a qualification fur business or official position, rather than a disqualifi cation and unfitness, and it is the boast of the Centre county democracy that its strength of organisation and solidity and permanency of power is largely indebt ed to the siaid, honest and industrious "dutch" or German element in it, and because Adam Hoy is one of us by birth, and has become prominent by culture and industrious effort, it is no reflection upon his qualifications or ability for of fice, but is rather a reason why the hon est democracy of the county should make him their standard bearer this sll. The Republican then can in no way by its weak effort to belittle our candi dates, by its sneers and unfair criticisms, advance the interest* ot either, or help the republican party any thereby. It asserts that the nomination of P. G. Meek, would be the best thing for the repub licans of the district, and for that reason no doubt would like to encourage the democracy to put him forward bv "peak ing indifferently and in disparagement of his rival, Mr. Hoy. We think how ever, that the sturdy democracy of Cen tre county will not pour much (insola tion in the political cups of the radicals, by any unwise action this fall. .1 TIME FOR ECOSOMY. The hotel keeper* says the Sun, at the t summer resorts, larger and smaller, are - not in buoyant spirits this season. Their • rooms are not in so great demand as I thrifty landlords desire, and boarders - have an unpleasant way of discussing • prices. The fret is, jwople just now feel f like saving money. They do not do it ■ because they like economy, or have evolved thrift ont of their inner eon cious news, but because they have short hank accounts, slender salaries, restrict ed sales for their merchandise, and not immediately ahead very glittering pros pects of full coffers. Dollars begin to look larger than they once did even to millionaires, and current family hills, once regarded with equanimity, bring 1 furrows to the brow of paterfamilias and 1 cause ancjous councils in the nuptial 1 chamber. In ttia brown-stone front as well as the five-story tenement, econo : my is just now the word of the hour. It is a hard word, but it is one our people must in sorrow learn, and carry it through all its m< >od audtenses. We must get back to the old ways—tiui ways of self-denial, prudence, thrift, saving, abstention from luxuries, and the accu mulation of tuoney against the rainy day by careful husbanding of gains in prosperous weather. Expense* must be reduced, vanities fought against and con quered, costly appetites controled, and the desire to shine iu fine cloths, ride in elegant equipages, and endure showy discomfort in grand houses, must be re placed by modesterand safer ambitions. The process of change, forced as it will be by necessity, will not be delightful, but once it is fairly faced and sternly undertaken, the people will find that af ter all happiness lira not departed with extravagance—perhaps has even been ushered in at the door by the sombre genius of economy. It is not occasion for unmixed grief that Wall street lias cleaned out so many men, young and old ; that stock gam bling becomes every day more and more an expensive amusement, within the means rather of those who have capital to lose than those who have the temeri ty to venture. The youngster who once could speculate to his heart's content on ibi? street, lunch at Delmontco'e off woodcock juul champagne, and smoke lietween cockisjjs fifty-cent cigars, finds it hard nowadays to a broker to trust him for a few dollars, or a with as uiuuy more ; and his career of splendor is nearly or quite cut short. With money at two jaw cent,, banking is not a profitable business, and fortu nately we shall soon see a diminution in the number of banters, so railed, who have flourislied in the street, mor on brass than gold. Economy copies hard , to these jaunty gentlemen, and the: thought of actual business, wherein ltu bor or solid material is given for money got, is one that causes them infinite dis- Many of them, how ever, must get used ty disagreeable things.

They must get healthy distrust ofluck, anil acquire respect for honest labor and painstaking economy.

After eating a hearty breakfast, tbe par ty felt in good cheer to take the proposed trip. The only way to get to the rock, was to walk a- the mountain in some parts i veiy steep. So we started with the determination of going to the top, in the shortest limcpcssi-j Lie. and walked with as much energy as it, 1 there were a mountain of goid in doslina-' lion Hut this energy wae soon somewhat' abated, and and we were satisfied to travel * at a much slower rate, and finally unaal.t (tlous!V agreed to take a rest The most difficult part of lllj upward j trip was now completed, and we were en-! ceuragi J by the fact that il would not be j long ere the place of destination would be reached.

The summit if covritd with a terie* of! irocks, or fiat slooi >, which are very peeu-! iiaily laid u> layers, and some over lap-! ping each other.

Tbiseeve was formerly occupied! by a robber named Lewi*—from whence j it derives its name. Il ha* been partly' torn down of late, by parties who suppos ed there was money hid in jt. The nest thing that took the attention' farther on. was the large re.-ervcir, from; which water is piped to tho foot of the; mountain. Continuing on a short dutatics' and the .Sulphur and Chalybeate Hpring* were reached, and this concluded tho trip. These Sulphur springs have been in operation many years, and the water Is said to have the peeuller properties of. Sulphur springs. Jhc party at thi# point were somewhat: fatigued with the aaik, but for all that, were fully satisfied. W la. Jr. *~+- • "SPONGING" ON NEWSPAPERS. Every man thinks a newspaper fair; game.

These gentlemen should rgmasnber thatj literary men, in thi* practical age, work ' for money as w ell as for fame—principally 1 the former, however ; and tho business ' manager of a newspaper, if he wishes to ' keep ou itio ,al ; !

People who are getting up a hall would feci chary of asking a present of a pair of gloves froui any merchant on that ' account, yet asking and expecting to ro reivc a gratuitous advertisement is a si mi- ' lar demand The editor of tho Malboro Journal states the case very plainly whan ho says.- "Wo long ago adopted the plan . of charging our regular rending notice price for all editorial announcements of rntcrtainmonu to which an admission fee is affixed.
