THE DUTY OF THE HOUR
Republicans to the Front.
Every voter is aware of the fact that the
Presiilential election takes place on the
sth of November, consequently this is our
kit issue previous to the final struggle.—
We urge every lover of the Union, who
has the tight to cast a freeman's ballot, to
go to the polls and vote fur Gen. Grant.
We urge every business man, who desires
success, to go to the polls and work for
the re-election of President Grant. We
have won the first line of the enemy's
works and had a glorious victory, but we
must not stop here but press onward until
our victory is made complete. During the
rebellion our arms were crowned with
many successes, but how often and sadly
were we mistaken when we sat down to
rest and rejoice over the valiant deeds of
heroes, for in the hour of exultation the
enemy was silently and energetically at
work to overturn our victory. Let us up,
then, and march onward.
No Republican should, under any pre
text or excuse, stay away from the polls.
No one mist console himself with the be
lief that the State is sure for Grant, as the
basis of an excuse to save the trouble of
going to the election. We insist upon it
that it is the duty of every voter to exer
cise his right of franchise. It is true that
Gen. Hartranft was triumphantly elected
Governor by over thirty-six thousand ma
jority, but it was not accomplished by the
help of those Republicans who did not go
to the polls. We say to you who did not
vote at the October election, come with us
—it is your duty as noble men—and help
roll up a majority of 75,000 for President
Grant, Then Pennsylvania will no longer
be looked upon as a doubtful State, but be
forever known as a people fixed in the
principles of eternal right and justice to
wards all men.
Republicans of Huntingdon county, you
know that Gen. Grant led our armies to
victory and preserved the Union, and nobly
did you show the world your gratitude
four years ago by giving him over twelve
hundred majority in this county. During
his administration we have had peace—a
glorious peace at home and abroad—and
unparalleled prosperity in every depart
ment of business throughout the entire
country. Then let us say, through the
ballot-box, that we approve of his course
as a President, and that he deserves our
gratitude as a faithful public servant.
aft. This is the way the Georgia Re
view clasps hands : "When we do so debam
our manhood—when we do so outrage all
the noblest feelings of humanity as to
stand over the graves of the confederate
dead, and in the language of the ninth
resolution• of the Cincinnati-Baltimore plat
form exclaim, "We remember with grati
tude the heroism and sacrifices of the
soldiers of the North," may our tongues
cleave to the roofs of our mouths, and may
God's thunderbolt lay ns lifeless over tlre
sacred issound we thus dishonor." The
Review supports Greeley.
Ds_ "The fight is over. There is no
necessity to register, or to attend meet.
ings, or to subscribe toward expenses, or
to take the trouble to vote on the sth of
next mc'ath."
This is the way to) many of our Re
publican friends are talking. Our readers
must and will readily admit that if we
stay away from the polls the Greelcyites
will win. We should, in that event, be
forcibly reminded of the moral of the fable
of the hare and the tortoise.
ilea. Hon. Wm. F. Johnston, ea-Gover
nor of this State, died at the residence of
Mrs. Bailey, in Pittsburg, on Friday af=
ternoon last. He was born in Westmore
land county, in 1808, and was in the frith
year of his age. He was the first Whig
Governor ever elected in Pennsylvania.
Ds.. The Standard, an influential Dem
ocratic journal, published at Anderson,
Ind., which has, until recently, been an
ardent, supporter of Greeley, hauls down
his name and gives strong reasons for re
fusing to support him longer. This is a
paper of very great influence among the
Democraoy in that locality.
pm. The Republican majority, in Ohio,
at the recent election, is 14,050. The Re
publicans were successful in thirteen of
the Congressional districts, and the Dem
ocrats in seven. Rather a poor show for
carrying the State for Greeley.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE
PLANO, Illinois, Oct. 23, 1872.
"How in the world did the editor of the
JounNA.r., raise money enough to take him
and his wife co the West ?" I think I
bear half dozen of readers ask with a sin
gle breath. It does seem a little singular
that a day bf recreation should be found
for one of the hard-worked, but so it has
proven in my case. Through the kindness
of the Burlington and Missouri River
Railroad Company we were furnished with
passes from Pittsburg via Chicago to Kan
sas City and return via Indianapolis to the
former place. So the reader will see that
we are on a big "Dead Head" expedition.
We carry a big lunch basket along the
way, which we make our friends fill up at
easy stages, and the railroads pass us and
between the two we are traveling about as
cheap as it ispossible to (.1). If this could
not be done I suppose many of the strong
puffs which are written of the Great West
would never be written, because poor dev
ils like unto the writer hereof would never
be able to scrape together a sufficient
amount of cash to enable them to enjoy
such a tour. The western men of enter
prise understand this and frequently tempt
us to make these excursions to get the ad
vantages of our advertising. Every letter
written from the West and published in
the East induces some one to emigrate and
the community in whicli he locates is
always a few hundred or thousand dollars
better off for his having located in it. The
West asks for people and people bring with
them wealth, and wealth builds up the
Country and makes it prosperous and happy.
We left Huntingdon on Saturday last
on the 12 o'clock m. train, and stopped at
every station between Huntingdon and
Pittsburg where we stopped off until Mon
day. The Way Passenger is a wretchedly
slow train ; one gentleman aisured me
that it stopped eleven times in ten min..
utes. This would indicate that it runs
very rapidly between stations, much more
so than the very fast trains. But I would
advise all persons who desire to travel any
distance to take a train that stops less fre
quently. Nobody cares to poke when
they are traveling by railway. The road
bed of the Pennsylvania Railroad is in a
most excellent condition—es smooth as a
ribbon.
At Roup, which is within the limits of
Pittsburg, we found friends to receive and
conduct us to their pleasant, comfortable
home. Here we spent the Sunday princi
pally in admiring the magnificent residen
ces of the wealthy. Pittsburg has many,
very many splendid private residences be
tween the city proper and East Liberty.
Millions of dollars ate invested here. The
prosperty of the manufacturers, bankers.
nierchantb - and jobbers of Pittsburg can
nowhere be better judged than from this
point.
On Monday morning, at 8:30 o'clock,
we parted with oar friends and took the
Chicago Express, on the P. F. W. & C.
Railroad for Chicago. The cars were
large, clean and comfortable and were run
on twelve wheel trucks. The road-bed,
which otherwise might have been rough,
seemed as smooth and substantial as that
of the Pennsylvania read. We left Pitts
burg in a dark and cheerless smoke, bet
as we dashed away along the beautiful
Ohio everything changed to the most
cheering aspect. The weather was clear
and warm, the cars were not over-crowded
and the passengers were sociable and chatty.
The many towns along the line of the
road are so many hives of industry. Man
ufactories are visible on every hand. Ten
thousand different industries are brought
into requisition to give emp!oyment to in
numerable men, women and children.
Towns and villages are consequently
springing up like magic and the railroad
is taxed to the utmost. New Brighton,
Elton. Alliance, Canton, Massillon, Woos
ter, Mansfield, erestline and Fort Wayne
and many of lesser note are growing very
rapidly.
As night approached our car became
very much crowded and continued so until
after twelve o'clock. At Fort Wayne
IBarnum's Great Show had collected thous
' ands of persons. Many of these had come
many miles by railroad. The evening was
very warm and pleasant. As morning ap
proached, however, it became very cold.
About 0430 o'clock A. M. we were ush
ered into the Metropolis of the Great
West—Chicago. Great changes have
taken place here since my visit of seven
years ago. We passed over a portion of
the burnt district but the traces are being
rapidly obliterated. The finest buildings
we have ever seen are being erected. Most
of them four, and five stories with mag
nificent fronts. In a few years Chicago
will be grander than ever.
An hour or two later we were whirling
away over the splendid prairie lying be
tween Chicago and Plano. Mrs. D. could
scarcely realize the change. She bad
never been farther west than Pittsburg,
and the change from the hills and moun
tains to the prairies seemed all a dream.
The country is splendid all along the C.
B. &Q. road to this print. On our arrival
here we were met by our friend George
Ilazelton, a son in-law of John Dickey,
who is a native of Stone Creek, and with
whom ninny of our readers in that neigh
borhood are no doubt acquainted. In our
next I shall speak of Plano and its char
acteristics. J. R. D.
SW' Apropos of scalping, the Democratic
Statesman gets off the following:
"General Cameron has been charged
with possessing some aboriginal traits, but
no one supposed him to be the "biglnjun"
he has just shown himself. He lately
seized his tomahawk, put on the feathers
and paint, and went on the war-path. In
a single moon he returns with the scalps
of five Cheifs hanging at his belt, to wit:
Torn.Cnrtain, Dead Duck, More in the
Head, Grow in the South, and Roaring
Rooster, better known among white men
as Sly Pete or Big Aleck,"

GREELEY ON THE DEMOCRACY.
As the Democrats of Huntingdon cow.-
ty will be called to vote for Horace Gree
ley, on Tuesday next, it may be interest
ing reading for them to re-peruse what
Mr. Greeley thought and wrote about
Democrats and Democracy, within a year
or two. We therefore, reproduce a few of
his deliberate utterances in this respect,
before he took the "White House disease."
The Democrats of Huntingdon county will
doubtless take great pleasure in endorsing
these utterances by voting for the man who
wrote and printed them :
[From the New York Tribune.
"Every youthwho it learning to sip and soak in
the grog shops is fashioned to the use of shame
Democracy. His virtuous parents may think
otherwise—may be ignorant of his harnts and
his habits ; but if he is learning to love
liquor and loose company, he is being fashion
ed to the ends of the adversary. Hence the
Democratic managers and oracles almost uni
formly hate and revile the temperance re
form, even when personally temperate. They
know that its triumph is their damage, and
probable defeat. There is not a State iu the
Union whereof the Democratic Party is not
conspicuously hostile to whatever legislation
tends to diminish the number or the power of
the grog shops."—Horace Greeley.
"The brain, the heart, the soul of the pres
ent Democratic party is the rebel element at
the South, with its Northen allies and sympa
thizers. It.is rebel at the coreto day. It would
come into power with the hate, the chagrin,
the wrath, the mortification of ten bitteryears
to impel and guide its steps. Whatever chas
tisement may be deserved by our national sins,
we must hope that this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared us."—.l7orace Greeley.
If there were not a newspaper nor a com
mon school in the country, the Democratic
party would be far stronger than it is. Neith
er elementary instruction nor knowledge of
transpiring events is necessary to teach the
essential articles of the Democratic creed, "Love
rum and hate niggeres." The less one learns
and knows the more certain he is to vote the
regular ticket from A to Izzard."—iloracc
Greeley, Oct. 11, 1867.
To smoke is a Democratic virtue ; to chew, is
that virtue intensified ; to dri, le rum, is that sir
tue in the superlative.—Horace Greeley, Oct. 25,
1867.
This would amount to six in a bed, exclu
sive of any other vermin for every Democratic
couch in the State of New Fork, including those
at Sing Sing and Auburn.—Horace Greeley,
Oct. 30, 1867.
All do know that there are several hundred
thousand mulatoes in this country, and we
presume no one has any serious doubt that
the fathers of at least nine tenths of them are
white Democrats.—Hotace Greeley, Dec. 10,
1867.
The World recently gave graphic accounts
of the dens and denizens which gave a charac
ter to the Five Points and other "slums" of
our city—a class perhaps lower in the scale
of being than can be found in any heathen
City on earth. We thereupon asked our con
temporary to state frankly whether the pugil
tots, black-legs, thieves, burglars, keepers of
dens of prostitution, dic., he., who make up so
large a share of our city's inhabitants, were
not almost unanimously Democrats I—Horace
Greeley, Jan. 4, 1868.
For the last thirty years every American
slaveholder on the African coast has accounted
himself in politics a Democrat. So every one
who chooses to live by pugilism, or gambling or
harlotry, with nearly every keeper of a tippling
house, is politically a Democrat. A purely
selfish interest attaches the lewd, criminal
and dangerous classes to the Democratic par
ty by the instinct of self-preservation of their
right to make gain of others, degradation.
—Horace Greeley, Jtn. 7, 1868.
Point where you will to an election district
which you will pronounce morally rotten—
,given up in great part to debauchery, and
whose voters subsist mainly by keeping policy
offices, gambling bosses, grog shops and dar
ker dens of infamy—and that district will be
found giving a large majority for the Democratic
I party.—Horace Greeley, Oct. 16, 1869.
"All Democrats are not horse thieves, but
all horaethieves are Democrats."—Horace Gree
ley.
May it be written on my grave that never
was a follower of the Democratic party, and
lived in nothing is debtor.—Hortiee Greeley.
"If the Democratic party were called upon
to decicia between Grant and myself, I know
that their regard for what they must c.. 11
principle would induce nine tenths of them to
vote against me. Why? I am a declared
enemy of that party, even in ita most respectable
aspects."—Horace Greeley, 1871.
WHAT H. G, KNEW, NINE MONTHS
AGO
On the 28th of December, 1871, Horace
Greeley wrote the following platform en
dorsing the Republican Administration of
President Grant;
"It abolished slavery.
"It led in the suppress on of the rebel.
lion.
"It preserved and enlarged the Union.
It promptly reduced the enormous
forces required to a peace footing.
"It has reduced the debt over two hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars in the
last three years.
"It has simultaneous reduced public
taxation over two hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars per annum.
"It has preserved peace on the frontier.
"It has won a friendly adjustment of
the threatening troubles with Great Brit
ain "
Mr. Greeley to-day stands opposed to
the Republican party and to Grant, en a per
sonal issue only. It b Mr. Greeley who in
his midsummer madness has changed.
The Republican party is the same, Men
temporise and vacillate, their fame goes
into decay, but the aceievements of prin
ciple arc imperishable. The Republican
party will triumph. It is only Greeley
that will disappear.
KEEP MOVING !
Again we urge the friends of Grant and
Wilson to be on the alert. We have gain
ed the vantage ground in the See elections.
Victory is ours—sweeping victory—,if we
will stand to our arms and keep our pow
der dry. The battle will not win itself.
We must not be content with doing just
as well out time. Let us move on the
euemy's works and captu e the whole gar
rison. Greeley and Brown should not
carrta single one of the old non-slavehold
ing States. We are sure, with vigilant
effort, to carry a considerable part of the
Sout'l, Faithful work will secure over
300 electoral votes for Grant out of 365.
It only needs to bring out the full Repub
lican vote. This will make an end of
Greeleyism forever. It will administer a
wholesome lesson to all bargaining trick
sters who ignore principle and party fidel
ity to go into a helter-skelter scramble for
the spoils.
Work, work unceasingly, until the night
of the sth of November. We fight now,
not for mere victory, but for the utter route
and defeat of the disheartened and demor
alized enemy. Every man to his post !
" I demand thatthere shall be open,
free dismission before the Southern peOple.
It after au hen*, unterrified, uncon
strained vote, they prove that the people
of the South say they want disunion, I
will consent to it."—Horaee Greeley at
Pittsburg, Sept. 19.
They are having hard work to de
cide which are the two hardest drinkers
in Missouri—Gratz Brown or Frank Blair.
It is to be left to Andy Johnson,
Prosielltial Electio, November 5.
Lot its Buy tiio Sorelimb.
WAKE U? !
We earnestly app3al to those Republi
cans who say, "Oh, we had such a tremen
dous majority in October that there is no
use in my going to the e!eetion. My vote
will not be missed," to ponder well this
delusive ids Suppose everybody else
were to do the same our election would go
by default. Remember, that a very small
vote sometimes changes tho resu t—often
candidates are elected by but a single
"one" of a majority. Remember, that
Hon. D. J. Morrell was defeated two years
ago by only eleven majority. The stay
at-home patriots in any township in this
county could have changed the result. Let
every man consider himself on a vigilance
committee to see that his neighbor, as well
as himself, goes to the polls. To vote and
elect our own public cervants (for they are
not our rulers) is the great boon of Amer
ican liberty. This is the precious inherit- '
ante left. us by our Revolutionary fore
fathers, and shoald we not appreciate it
enough to go to the polls and vote once in
four years foe a President.
The Democrats boast that they have
reduced our majority this year on the State
ticket. How was it done ? They increas
ed their vote about three hundred over
last year, we only increased otikvote about
one hundred. Republicans, we can re
trieve this loss if every man who voted at
the last election goes to the polls on the
sth of November and does everything he
can to get the three hundred Republicans
out who did not vote in October. Do
your whole duty, then, friends, and all will
be well.
GREELEYISM IN THE SOUTH
The Stars and Stripes Hauled Down
The Rebel Rag Flaunted to the Breeze•
A telegram to the St. Louis Globe gives
the following account of a disgraceful af
fair at Palmyra, Mo., on Thursday last :
"A Greeleyite meeting had been adverti
sed to come off, and in order to create the
necessary enthusiam a rebel flag was hung
out from the , Liberal" headquarters. This
naturally raised indignation among the
loyal citizens, who forced it to be taken
down, when afterward the American flag
was thrown to the breeze from Republi
can headquarters, with the names of Grant
and Wilson attached. A rebel mob con
gregated aod demanded the hauling of it
down. The Republicans refused, and
proposed to stand by the flag. The city
Council was called together and decided
that it be taken down. Some timid citi
zens jo!ned with them, as they said, to
prevent a riot. The consequence was our
great national colors were hauled down in
obedience to the demands of the rebel
supporters of Horace Greeley."
DESERTERS COMING iN,
The troops of the enemy are deserting
him and coming to our camp, then onward
and never stop until we have the crowning
victory. Read what a Democratic paper
says: . _
The Ovid (Seneca county) Bee, which
has always been a D3mocratic journal, has
had the names of Greeley and Brown at
the head of its columns since June last,
bit has now taken them down and declared
in favor of the reelection of President
Grant, for the following, with other ex
cellent reasons ; "As the platforms do not
create any issues worth the trouble of dis
cussing, the burden of proof falls upon
those who are clamoring for a change in
the administration. Good and forcible
reasons should be given, not claptrap
about Grant's cousins. The record of the
Republican party down to the present
tine,has, in the main, been satisfactory,
and hose who were fighting it have so ad-
mitred by their 'departure.' It is a great
deal safer to continue this order of affairs
than to place in power a party which,
since its so-called regeneration, has no
record at all, and, by its pat acts, Calf give
no guarantee that its fntWe course will be
satisfactory. As an independent journal
ist, we have the right to speak upon this,
as also upon other questions in the present
canvass. A life-lung Democrat, we would
have Democracy pure and unadulterated,
if possible, and candidates, especially fur
county offices, fairly nominated, fur rings
and cabals are our greatest abomination."
HORSE EPIDEMIC IN CANADA.
Description of the D iseaso—its Ap-
pearance in New York.
The Montreal Gazette of The 17th hist:
gives a description of the epidemic now
prevailing among the horses in Canada,
and which has also made its appearance in
Buffalo. It first• appeared in Toronto, and
spread from there to Montreal with aston
ishing rapidity, few horses escaping. In
the latter city the cab stands are deserted
and scarcely a horse is to be seen. One
surgeon has 2,000 horses under treatment.
Among veterenary surgeons the disease is
known as epizootic influenza, and is ahca
sioned by atmospheric influence supposed
to have some cmnecti n with the recent
heavy and frequent thunder storms. The
disease is not necessarily a fatal one • so
far from its being so, if p-operly treated at
its beginning there will be few deaths. It
is characterized by sore throat, slight
swelling of the glands, loss of appetite, se
vere hacking cough, with a discharge of
trownish yellow matter from the nostrils,
quick pulse, quickened respiration, great
feebleness and yellowness of the eyes and
owns memirane, the hitter giving indi
cation of implication of the liver. The
respiratory organs, however, are the prin
cipal parts affected, but the disease being
a blood poison, any animal having had pre
vious disease by which any organ or sys
tem of organs have become weakened, will
at once show symptoms indicating derange
ment of these organs. With the medicine
given by iidvlee of a veterenary sargeqa
the following treatment will hardly fail to
effect a cure or prevent the progress of the
disease or the taking of it. The horses
quite well or slightly affected should not
be taken out in wet weather, and if they
have to be so, should be warmly covered
Affected-animals should be kept in a well
ventilated stable and fed upon hot soft
food easily digested, such as linseed tea,
oatmeal gruel and boiled oats or harley.
The appetite of invalids should be tempted
by carrots, apples or any other delicacy
our sick quadruped friend is known to have
a failing for. In all stables a carbolie-dis
infectant should be liberally used. Own
ers of horses in this vicinity should be on
their guard, as the disease is likely to
spread in this direction from Buffalo
and other points on the lakes, as well as in
New York; where there has been fifty ewe.

A FEMALE POISONER
An Extraordinary Story of Crime
_lnlhnost incredible story is told in the
rlianchester Guardian of Oct. 4. It is in
the form of an official report as to the an
tecedents of the woman Cotton, who is in
custody in Durham gaol, charged with
poisoning. The report had been forward
ed by Police Superintendent Henderepn
to the Home Secretary, to support the
application for an order for fuither exhu
mations. It says :
• "Mary Ann Cotton was born in the
year 1832 at Murton Colliery, near Sea
ham Harbor. She became acquainted
with a man named William Mowbray, a
laborer residing at Marton Colliery, but a
native of Peterborough. They were short
ly afierward married at St. Andrew's
Church, Nepeastle-on Tyne, and left the
neighborhood and went to reside at Ply
mouth, and afterwards at various places
in the south of England, and then return
ed to l South Hetton, after an absence of
five years from that part of the country.
On their return the prisoner stated that
she had four children while away, but
they had all died, On the 24th of June,
1860, they had a child died, named Mary
Ann, four years of age. Sir. Broadbent,
surgeon at South Hetton, says the died,
of gastric fever. Shortly after this Mow
bray and the prisoner, with their children,
went to live at Hendon. On the 22nd of
I September, 1864, a son, named John R b,
ert William, about one year old, died, and
on the 2d of May, 1865, a daughter, nem
ed Mary Jane, died. The two last named
I were attended in their illness by Mr.
Gammage, surgeon, Sunderland, and he
states that they boil' died of gastric fever.
The deceased William Mowbray and his
family were all insured in the British and
Prudential Insurance Office, and on the
death of her husband the prisoner got £35.
and some smaller amounts on the death of
the children. She then obtained a situ
ation in the old infirmary at Sunderland,
and these remained about six months, when
she became aquainted with an inmate nam
ed George Ward. He married her, and
they went to reside in Grey-street, Sun
derland, where he lied on the 21st of
October, 1866, aged thirty-three• Mr.
Gammage attended him, and, although he
was an ailing man, he considered that he
dropped off very suddenly. The prisoner
than obtained a situatiothas houskeeper to
James Robinson, a foreman in a ship-build
ing yard at Pallion. In June, 1867, he
married her, and they continud to reside
together at Pallion. When Robinson
married the prisoner he was a widower
with five children, and the prisoner had
one little girl about nine years of age.
She lived with Robinson until the latter
part of December, 1867, and during that
time there died in his house John Robin
son, ten months old, the 4th of Janua-y,
1867 ; James Robinson, six years old, the
7th of April, 1867; Elizabeth Robinson,
eight years old, the 13th of April, 1.36 T;
Mowbray, nine years old, the 2cl of Slay,
1867, and Margaret Robinson, three years
old, December, 1867. Mr. Gammage
attended E. Mowbray, and he states she
died of gastric fever. Mr. Shaw, surgeon,
Deptford, attended the Robinsons, and lie
states they died of gastric fever. It is
stated above that the prisoner lived with
Robinson until the latter part of Decem
ber, 1867. About this time he had found
out that she had involved huts in about
£6O debt, besides pledging his clothes and
disposing of his household li..en and goods.
She had also charge of his bank-book and
building society book, and he also found
that she had wasted upward of £5O, and
entered sums in the building society book
which she never paid In. Robinson's sisters
also began to talk about the deaths of the
children,
and told him they had been
poisoned. Robinson taxed her with her
dishonesty, and said what he had heard
about the children's deaths was going to
be true. After Robinson ldt the house
that day, she dressed herself and took one
of her children, about eighteen months old,
and went out, and he has never seen her
since. She left the child in the street with
a person till she went to post a letter, but
she never returned, and Robinson did not
recover his child for some time, when he
found it in a wretched state, He states
that he now feels convinced that hie child
ren were poison d. euspeeted so at
the time, but he did not like his mind to
dwell on the subject. They were healthy
and strong, and only ill a few days before
they died. He noticed whenever she gave
them anything they vomited. and were
sick and purged, Ilis sistess have talked
to him both then and since about the
deaths of the children. On reading the
West Aukland poisoning case in the
papers, they have stated to him that that
was the way his children went. One of
them banded a paper to him, and said,
That is thy Mary Ann that has been do
ing that,' little thinkinx at the time that
the person accused of the We s t - Ackland
poisonings was the very woman whom
they were talking about. Robinson says
she often wanted him to get his life and
the lives of the remaining children incur
ed, and one day he found her at an office
trying to effect an insurance. He forbade
her doing
so, and said he would not pay a
penny. This aroused his suspicion about
the children who bad died, and he deter
mined not to have his life insured.
After prisoner's father's death, her mother
was married to a man named Robert Slott;
who is living at Seat'n Colliery. Mrs.
Slott, the prisoner's mother, died the 9th
of June, 1866, aged fifty-four years, and
was buried at Old Seaham. She died
very suddenly after the prisoner came.
The prisoner, after absconding from the
house of her husband, is found wandering
about Sunderland, Seaham Harbor,
Tyne
mouth, and Newcastle until July 7, 1870,
when she obtained a situation as house
keeper to Frederick Cotton, a pitman re
siding at Walbottle, Northumberland.
In October of the tame year he married
her at St. Andrew's Church, Newcastle,
in the name of Mary Ann Mowbray.
When she was residing at Walbottle a
number of fat pigs died, and for some rea
son or other she was suspected, and the
place became so hot they were obliged to
leave it, and they came to reside at West
Aukland. At that time the family 'con
sisted of herself, Frederick Cotton, her
husband : Frederick Cotton, her step-
son. nine years; Charles Edward Cotton,
step-son, six years; Robert Robson Cotton,
son, fourteen months, who have all died,
ea well as a lodger named Joseph Mattress.
The prisoner herself soles that while she
was in the south of England she bad four
children by Mowbray. all of whom had
died."

Simon Cameron
If there is one man in all the length
and breadth of Pennsylvania who has a
right to rejoice over the grand result,
that man is Simon Cameron. Never was
a man more villainously libeled and vilified
than Senator Cameron has been during
this Campaign. Nothing that partisan
zeal or perso►.al hate could suggest has
been left undone or unsaid to blacken his
reputation and expose him to the repro
bation of his fellow:citizens. Yet his
defamers know that their accusations are
basely false. No more devoted friend of
Republican prinnip:es exists to-day. His
enemies never refer to his record as a
Senator, for they know that it is faultless.
No vote of his was ever cast against the
interests of his State, or the most radical
Republicanism. Our majority in the Le;-
islature secures a Republican as his suc
cessor in the United States Senate. We
understand that Senator Cameron is not a
candidate f►r re-election and does not
mean to be, but if the party should, never
theless decide to continue him in the posi
ti n he has so ably and honorably filled,
we should be certain of a representative
in that body who always has been and
always will be as true as steel to the great
principles which have so triumphantly
prevailed in Pennsylvania in spite of.the
frantic efforts of the men who are the un
scrupulous enemies at the same time of
Cameron and Republicanism.—Beaver
