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

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

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

If Hartranft is a temperance man, as he
professes to be, why does he visit the sa

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

The fact is Hortrauft is a week, vacil

a determined stand upon tHe temper

ple do not intend to be humbugged by
him. He is not to he trusted by the

THE SEX A TORSHIP.
The Bellefonte Republican of last
week, aaheet that was never known to
he honest in it* criticism* of men or
measure*, indulge* in some very dispar
aging comment* on our candidate* in
thi* county for the state senate (Votn
which we clip the follow ing
"Meek in known a* an editor, and

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

the only aure way in which to have
money if to earn it and then to mi \ o it.
They must get healthy distrust ofluck,
anil acquire respect for honest labor
and painstaking economy. In the end,
if they are brave enough to endure the
ordeal, they will be richer and more re

dwindling the Indians did not stop
with Cameron'a ojH-rations with the
Winnebagoe*. The poor red man is
still the victim of government sharks
who deserve a cell in state's prison bet
ter than teing at large. I'ruf, Marsh, of
Yale College has addressed a letter to
President Grant in regard t. the alleged
frauds at the lied Cloud agency which
strikes at some high-seated ones near
the white house. He declares he has no
confidence in the sincerity of the Secre
tary of the interior or the Commission
of Indian Affairs in prosecuting the in
vestigation tnto thr said frauds on the
Indians, and that the evidence now in
his possession reflect* unfavorably ot
both.
The professor then proceeds to lay te
fore the President a statement embody
ing the results of bis investigation into
the affairs of the Hcd Cloud kgenry,
which he says, indicate l>ot|i misman
agement and fraud, es|iecially in the fol
lowing particulars. First. The agent, J.
J. Saville, is wholly unfiled in his
charge. Second. The number of Indians
at this Agency has been systematically
overstated, for purpose* w hicli can only
result in fraud. Titud, The last issue
of annuity goods, which I witnessed, ns
a suspicious transaction, and, in part at
least, fraudulent. Fourth. The beef cat
tle given oj tbp Indians have been very
inferior, owing to the syptpmatic frauds
practiced by the agent and the beef con
tractors. Fifth. The jHtrk issued to the
Indians during my visit was not suita
ble for human (Sixth. The flour
wiii very inferior, and evident* of fraud
in this article is conclusive. Seventh.
The sugar and coffee were not good,
though tetter than the other supplies.
Eighth. The tobacco observed was rot
ton, and of little or no use to the Indians.
Ninth. In consequence of fraud ami mis
management, the Indians have suffered
greatly during the past winter for want
of food and clothing. Tenth. The con
tract for freights from Cheyenne to the
Red Cloud kggljcy was fraudulent, as
the true distance Is one hundred and
forty five miles, while the contractor
was paid for two hundred and twelve
miles. He concludes us follows: "The

Trip To Flat Hot k.
Flat K >ck i* located at Doubling Gap,
on South Rat side of Blue Mountain*, ,
Cumberland co , I'a , and about eight
mile* from New villo I'a It it notable for 1
the magnificent scenery to be otorrved j
from il. ,
On the morning of the bill insl., iu CoUf <
puny with three other* we prep, sed start- 1
ing (rout Donbli: g Gap, at the base of the
mountain, to the above said place. The ,
party were prepared with as tew articles of 1
clothing a> possible, as the morning was j
very warm and every prospect of it being
aw irin day So that il was thought best
to try and keep cool.
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 parts then started with new cour
age, and true it was not long before tin
summit of the mountain was reached : and :
thou the Hock was wot tar distant.
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. After walking over these,
a short distance, the great Flat Bock was
reached.
This imk being nearly :>uUO feel from l
the bate of the mountain, afford* a spleii-j
did yica of the beautiful Cumberland:
Valley
This beautiful V alley is dotted oyer with j
towns and villages, farms, farm bouses and,
•pacioui barn* ; all Ccnlribule to the,
beauty and vaiioty of the landscape.
The 11 Jit tow n that is likely to meet ones
g..*e, i> New villo This a thriving little
town of about 'JUtW inhabitants, and it on
ly abut eight miles distant from the rock.,
At a greater distance down the Valley
can bo seen the city of Carlisle. Ttien
farther up the valley again, can be seen
Sl.ippelisLurg. a town of bulwceri three
and four thousand inhabitants.
The dome of the Captud in Harrisburg
can be seen with the aid of a glass.be
ing at a distance of marly forty miles Tbe,
scene presented to the observer is one of
charm ing lovlinets.
Upon examination we found the rock to
be of an immense ie--b#ing user a bun
dred f.-ct high, from its bate, and nearly'
two hundred feet in width At the top, 1
suppose il to be about 1! by twenty fe-l in!
sue, sloping outward.
Turkey buiuards are said to abound in]
this rook, and #r<- frequently te-n about it. ]
In drsv ending a short distance, it is ob-!
served thai the rock consist* of three dit- j
unci cliffs, and surrounding tbe-e ate
small tree* of chestnut, pin® laurel and I
birch.
The parly then took a .-including view
of the grand valley and started on the 1
homeward trip, much pleased, and fully !
paid for all trouble.
Another route was now taken , and per
laps a more interesting, than tbe previous]
one. The first object of interest in this,
route was, whit is called "The Lewi*
rsve." 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. If o society or any body of men
get w p s vonjert or a ball, or other form of!
entertainment! Wiu obytcl of which i* toi
put money into their pockvls, or if tJ. k pro-l
cecd# are to be devoted to charitable pur-j
poses, to add to their own glorification,
they become very indignant if the propri
etors of a newspaper do not awist tbem by
a series of gratuitoui advertisements for
sest.t! r c"h before tho eront lakes place.
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 ; ! Jo of the ledger, con- '

incut. 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

is affixed. We make no exception to this
rule. In the way of news topics, wo free- 1

HOW MAY RELIGION BE MAIN-!
TAIN ED AND KEPT 11' IN OUR'

There it a summary of religion recorded
in Deut, o.' 4-W, which contain* the answer
to this question, via.- These words which
I command you thi* day shall he in thy,
heart. And thou shall teach them dili
gently to thy children, and thou shalt talk
ufthem whon lliuu stUest (n thy house,!
and when thou walkest by the way, ami
when thou llet down, and when thou rl- !
est up. Ami thou shall hind them for a!

frontlets Letwcen thine eves. And thou
-halt write them upon tne posts of thy
house, and on thy gates.
According to this paragraph of Scrip
ture, the means to he employed for the
potpoo Indicated in the question, are the
follow ing -
1. Meditation. These wmd* which 1
command thee shall he in thy heart. You
must think on theui tt at you may become
well acquainted Willi them. The ten icori/sj

must be pondered in tho heart. That.
btrli a man does not know and under- j

this purpose the ministry, Catecbisation
ami tbe Sunday School are invaluable

come short of the religious education ot
our children, are worthies* so lar a* the
promotion of Spiritual religiuu is concern
