A SIO,OOO package was stolen from the

From the Sua : l appears that in Ne

about the kind of wine to use at the
communion table and that it is kept up
in soma of the churches with unabated
energv. In soma eaaaa worn-out clergy
men are emploved in vending the n
fermented' article, and in expounding
its merits and enforcing its excellence a
meetiugs of ecclesiastical bodies. f
not unusual for these hrethern to carrv
with them to such meeting* a demijohn
of their favorite tiuid, or A '•* bottles l r
both. On a recent occasion, whan a
cetaosnnioa service was to be held, the
clerical agent took a demijohn of wine
with him. and deposited it in the re, r
of the church, in which the brethern as
sembled. When the communion table
was to be spread the wine was sent for
bnt the discovery which was made cast a
gloom over the advocates of the tin
fermented." The wine had burst the
cork out of the demijohn anil overflow ed
and the cellar smelt as if it belonged to
a barroom. The agent retired in d:s*
may as ,]uietly as he could, and other
Arrangements were at once mad# for
such as had always been used at that

While a Christmas gift '• an agmable
thing to take, w# would advise any
reader of the Reporter to beware of a
Chrietmaa check —or a check givsn on
any other legal holiday. Iu Cincinnati
Messrs. R. C. Wheeler A Co., the com
pany being Mr. Charies I*. Forbua, en
gaged in buying and selling hogs on
comtniesion, bought a urge lot of stock
from different parties on Christmas day
and gave their checks for the aame. and
aold them to another dealer on the aauie
day. When the original owners of the
stock pre seated the checks next at
the hank where Meesre. Wheeler A Co.
deposited, it was found that Mr. Forhus
had withdrawn the entire amount of the
firm's deposits, amounting to S*J3,OOO,
snd that the checks were worthless. Mr.
Forhus WAS arrested and imprisoned
next night He admits drawing the
money, and saya it WAS appliad in dis
charging other indebtedness of the
firm.
If Curtin can not prove fraud, as the
radical organs assert, then why are they
so ill at ease about the contest ' they
should be composed if they be.iev# what
they say.
Their concern and uneasiness over
Yocum, shows tlwt the rsds hate all the
stock there is in Sth, and that his green
backiscn was all a sham to deceive dem
ocratic voters. As soon as a democrat
doubts that Yocum was fairly elected,
up goes a howl front radical organs
Queer, isn't it? Thie Yocum matter re
minds us of a story about a pussy, thai
was the joint property of two little si
tets, and which, for the sake of peace,
was portioned off by the parents that
Dolly should own the tail end and I.irry
the head end. While Liny waa up stairs
one day, Dolly trod on putsic's tail,
causing a fearful tneauw. Li try, tLw
owner of the head enJ, hearing the cat s
cry, called down to Dolly : What are
yeu 'busing my end of the cat for." To
which Dolly replied, "I only atepped on
my end, and your end hollered." So
with Yocum—tread on his tail, and you
hear an awful yell at the radical end of
the greenback kitten.
In Milton, a few daya ago, a party of
young men were in Buff's hotel, when
a colored man entered who waa known
to have a weakness for whisky. Tne
men entered into a bet as to how much
he coald drink, the liquor to be furnish
ed and paid by them. He drank 3 pints
right along, and soon gave signß of be
iag in a bad way. He waa then carried
on the side walk in the piercing cold
and covered with a blanket where he
remained unconscious for over an hour
when he was taksn home and died next
day. He has a wife and two children.
This we would make out murder in
tbe highest degree.
Under the familiar name, The Cm/re
Democrat, the new democratic paper at
Bellefonte, by Messrs Sbngert A I-orster,
made its appearance last week. It ia a
handsome sheet and the ability and ex
perience of the proprietors, as editors,
and politicians, are a guarantee that ii
will be a well edited paper and conduct
ed with no selfish purpose hut with a
view to the good of the democratic party
of the county and state. In this object
the REPORTER welcomes the Democrat as
a co* worker for the eucceee of tbe great
democratic party and its time honored
principles. We wish our new neighbor
abundant success financially and other
wise. Tbe proprietors are ao well known
to Centre county people as men of char
acter and sound democracy that they
need no further introduction at our
hands.
Robfert Mackey.tbe head of th# re

Philadelphia, on 2nd. Mr. Mickey was
the man the Camerons most depended
upon to keep themselves in power. He
knew how to carry out their work suc
cessfully and served them well, and his
death will be a severe blow to tbeir
domination, as it given encouragement
to others to rise up and claim seals ic
high places from which they were de

SPECIE RESI MPTION.
Oa Ist inst., the Resumption act sent
into fore*-, ssJ greenba, ks arc now the
same as gold. Of Uu? workings of Un
law at the New York custom house toe
the Herald of 3 says:
4: ten o'clock yesterday morning,
when the doors of the bub-Treasury
were opened, it "as expected that a
large crowd of people would rush to the
redemption counter to hate I ailed sta
tes notes AUd uOUpollS redeemed in gold
snd all preparation? had been made for
anv emergency 1 ifteeu clerk"* were
ready to attend to their demand? and
behind the glass were piled immense
quantities of gold coin all the way from
dollars to double cag.*- lo tiie sur
prise of the government empu) es only
one jsrrsou was pre-teni at the opening
j hour, and he received |2lo iu gold (of
the same amount of I uited Mates notes.
For the next half hour not a soul put in
an appearance at the counter, and from
that Line until halfpast one o'clock the
applicants were not more than fifteen or
twenty st any caw time, the general de
mand being for#.'*', th*smallest amount
that the profisious of th# is* allow the
hub Treasury to pay out. There w*c no
excitement during "the day among the
parties in line, and tne majority of those
wtio asked for gold wanted it simply for
the purpose of having the coin in their
poaaseaton. tine majority of those who
attended, when asked if they wauteo
gold or greenbacks, invariably preferred
the latter A mimtfr of small coin
I operations which fed uue yesterday were
generally paid iu grcenlne ks. I i> to
hall past one o'clock only v.','* 1 " 111 I til
ted Mate* n< te had been redeemed,
and the iargrst sum demanded bv any
single appinani Wesl.'**'. I hiring the
day the bants of Ne* York turned into
the Sub-Treasury in go.<: certi
ficates and tool in exchange for theui
i lea ring house •ernfiiates, which repre
sent legai tend- r notes. The amount of
United Males lotes redeemed at tin
Sub Tr asury y -tenia* wa.- #h>o ,(.**• and
j-punssi ,IJ mi, i rtihintes were reoe *-
ed, for which c ring house certificates
Mjutvaleul to i ii leader notes were
paid out The I IV laughable jnc dent
that occurred at the Sub-l reaaury yes
terday was cause by au individual who
received4">.oooin :old com and express
ed bis de.jght by in attempt to thruw n
in the air. it fol to the ground, and
the string whit kept the bag closed
breaking, the sh ng eagia. were m-a:-
tered iu all dir. ions. Alter picking
ibarn up, which tcvupied considerable
time, the owner approached tiie couuter
again and begged to have his coin
changed hi greenbacks. When his de
mand was compiled with he expressed
himself as feeling much relieved. At
the Sub-Treasury u was sUted yesterday
that the total coin now held by the go#
eminent for resumption purposes
amounted t0|145,1>40,000, and from the
looks of thiiqpi on the first dav of re
sumption it would be a difficult matter
to get rid of the meiai, the people refus
ing to take it. General Hiiiiasijse said
ti.iit be was not at all surprised ac th*
light demand for gold com, as in his
opinion Ui* people would prefer green
backs so long a# they w ere as valuable.
Mr. White, the cashier of the Nub-Treas
ury, expressed the op>uio;i that all
classes would rather have paper money
when it represented the same value as
gold, as it was much easier to carry.
Greenbacks, he said, are now redeema
ble in coin ail over the world, and no
body is going to load himself down with
the metal w hen the paper money is just
as serviceable.
A very noticeable fact which teuas to
show ticat silver is not needed in such
large quantities wan tbe fact that not one
dollar in that inetcj was paid out at the
Sub Treasury yesterday.
Leprosy, which it ha# been thought
did not exist in this country, has been
developed in Louisiana. It is said that
there are now some fifty cases of leprosy
in that State, all originating from one
person, who, some twenty years ego,
sealed on the lower part of I'.ayou
Lafouche. Legislative investigation is
aeked for.
A# the Blaine committee is doomed to
a water haul in investigating southern
intimidation, let it try iu skill on lep

Judge Orvu occasionally expresses

that a jury fails to discharge us duty ac
cording to the law and the evidence,
lie recently held court in Cambria
county, and in asee-aing tbe costs u|on
a party of defendants who bad been ac

verdict of acquittal, lie warned thede
fendanta against rowdyism or a repeti

t'o, you will scarcely tind twelve men in
Cambria county so utterly oblivious of
their oaths as jurors, as to bring in a
verdict in your favor. Ir. the light of

from Blair county, Snyder and Antia—
fourteen townships in all. The scheme

There is a great deal of complaint
among Republicans as to J >Oll Cameron'*
jm-apacity. The fact 1* much used

Senator Wallace made a raking charge

its corruption and frauds — Don Cameron
declined to repel the assault of hia col
league, and slipped into one of the Sen

The poor man couldn't make a speet h,
and was wise in not attempting it.
Rlaine of Maine, came to the reacnc, and
supplied the deficiency. Rut Ihere is a
humiliation to Republicans of the State

CUKE FOK DIPHTHERIA
Wc publish the following became
the experiment may be aafely tried,
and it is worth trying. Diphtheria
is becoming a dreadful scourge, and
the writer of what it here said taw the
working of this cure in the hands of
an English physician, at a time when
the disease was prevalent in an Eng
lish IOWD. Hpeaking of the physi
cian's application, the writer says :
All he took with him wai powder
of sulphur, and a quill, and with these
he cured every case without excep
tion. He put a spoonful of the Hour
of brimstone into a wineglass of water
and stirrod it with his finger instead
of a spoon, as the sulphur does not
readily amalgamate with water. —:
When the sulphur was well mixed hr
gave it as a gargle, and in ten min 1
ules the patient was out of danger!;
Hrimstone kills every species of fun
gus in man, beast or plant in a few
minutes. Instead of spitting out the!
gargle, he recommends the swallow
ing of it. —In extreme cases in which
he had beeu called just in the nick of
time, when the fungus was too nearly
closed to allow the gargle, he blew
the sulphur through u quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk to allow of it, then the garg
ling. He never lost a patient from
diphtheria. If a patient cannot gar
gle, lake a live coal, put it iu ashovel
au.j sprinkle a spoonful or two of
Hour hriiuntowu4.£ Jime upon it, let
the sufferer luhale it, holntnglh; £ed
over it, and the fungus will die. If
plentifully used the whole room may
be filled almeat to suffocation, the pa
tient can walk about in it, inhaling
tbp fumed with doors and windows
shut, The pian of ting a room,
with Hulphur has often cured Wtt
violent attacks of cold in the head <
and chest.

At (he I'tinneratic counts eonvanlieu
he.d in Mepttuiker, 1*77, the delegates lis
proper to is I act tna to serva In Ilia petition
oft hairnian of the County Committee for
the year 1878. I aecapttd the petition in
good fbith, determined to fl srhergs ths
dupes sail mast the reapontiliilltiea ul tha
situation to tha heat of my abilities, ami
with ths single purpose t.f promoting tba
walfara and auceeti of our j>artv When
1 snlared upon tha disrherge of these du
bee one vsar sgo, I did not anticipate an
unusually sidting eettipaign, nor any
unusual disaffection or factiousness in th#
party , and now in looking he< k mar the
psal year, 1 raa confidently saarrt thai
nothing which 1. as Chairman of ths Coun
ty ♦ oaitmtiea did, la to an? degree cherg

which ashihitsd themselves during the
vesr.
It i trua that vary large euunlv and

thus proving Iheiutelves worthy of (ha fu

I would euggest that tha party, as far o
practicabla, discountenance the custom
which kas bacoma o prevaleat in tkaiasi
faw years, af wkiidulates canvassing tha
couuty *>r weeks before the delegate alar
tioa. It i* a great aspensa and lose af

flaile annoyance to tha people, while ia
many instances tha candidata. ak.u thus
traeelltng over the country, are not salt*,
had u.s.oi> advocating thair own ctaiins,
but spend tbalr time in depr-- aling the
claims and assailing the i Leracter el other
