A CHANCE FOR ALL.
Those of our country subscribers
who are in arrears can pay their in
debtedness by bringing us corn, oats,
potatoes, apples, &c., which will be
received as so much cash at prices
paid by Henry & Co. This offer will
stand good for two weeks from this
date, and we hope our friends will
r. Tail themselves of the opportunity
to get square without the outlay of
the cash. 2t.
THE U. S. SENATORSHIP.
A few weeks only intervene until the
Legislature of this State will be called
upon to discharge the important duty of
choosing a United States Senator to serve
for six years from the 4th of March next,
and filling the place which will soon be
rendered vacant by the expiration of the
term of HON. J. DONALD CAMERON, who
has so well and so faithfully discharged
the duties of the position since his elec
tion. The Republican party, with a hand
some majority on joint ballot, will of course
be able to elect, and in view of the present
situation and the probable emergencies
which may arise in the future, it Is im
portant that the right man for the place
be selected. At a time like the present,
when the forms of free government, in one
section of the country, are prostituted to
the base uses of an infamous tyranny, and
the heroism of four years of war seems to
be defeated and robbed of its fruit by the
inauguration of the infamous "shot-gun
policy" in the South, and the insolent de
mand for the payment of rebel claims to
the amount of untold millions, is about to
be made, it is important, alike to the in
teeests of this great State and the nation
at large, that a man should be chosen who
will be true to our interest, and who will
fearlessly stand up for the Constitution
and laws of the whole country. The signs
of the times would seem to point unerr
ingly to the present incumbent, Mr. CAM
ERON, as the almost unanimous choice of
the Republicans of the State. The people
seem, by instinct, to demand it, and the
re-election of that gentleman, if not a de
cided fact, is so entirely probable as barely
to admit of a doubt. And why should it
be otherwise ? Has there ever been a more
loyal or more faithful representative of the
great principles of the Republican party,
or one more closely identified with the
interests of Pennsylvania' Surely no man
can point to any portion of his record and
say that he has failed in anything that has
been required of him. The official record
of SIMON CAMERON, whatever may be said
to the contrary, bas been that of a states
man, clear headed and far-seeing, a Re
publican in every sense of the term, and
thoroughly identified with and true to the
interests of the great State he has so long
and so ably represented. And the mantle
of the illustrious sire seems to have fallen
on the shoulders of the honored son. Modest,
unassuming, and reticent, yet cool, calm,
and collected, he has moved on, in the
even tenor of his way, without swerving
to either side, iu the pathway of •duty.—
The name of CAMERON, in almost every
political contest, has been the slogan for
the gathering of the Democratic clans,
but the unerring verdict of the people has
always sustained him, and the old Chief
has seldom returned from the contest with
out the scalp-locks of some of his most
distinguished enemies dangling from his
belt.
During the last political campaign the
contest has been no less bitter, and the war
no less unrelenting against the son, and no
less signal has been the victory, in every
portion of the State where this issue has
been directly made. The sober second
thought of the people everywhere has result
ed in an emphatic endorsement of CAMERON,
and to crown his triumph, we find the great
head and front of the opposition ; the eni
bodiment of all that is or ever has been
anti-Camerou, Andrew G. Curtin, the "old
war Governor," and once the idol of the
Republicans of Pennsylvania, actually
slaughtered, on this direct issue, in a Dem
ocratic district with a usual majority of
5000. Such seems to be the verdict of
the people everywhere ; such -is to-day the
sentiment of nine-tenths of the Republi
cans in the State, and we have not the
slightest doubt that it will be fully ratified
by the Legislature when the time arrives
for the selection of the incoming United
States Senator.
We feel that an apology is due the Re
publicans of the State from us for the
election of a Greenbacker and a Democrat
in this county as members of the next
House, and also that we should offer to
them an explanation of the causes produ
cing this result.
Huntingdon county, you must remember,
is Huntingdon county, strangely peculiar in
its decisions on political questions. It is
the home of Hon. R. Milton Speer, the
active State Chairman of our foes, who,
with large personal means and the State
funds at his call, an aspirant for United
States Senator, made a special fight on
this question by the lavish expenditure of
money, the distribution of railroad passes,
promises of future preferment, and the most
blatant assertions of certain victory. Con
sidering the advantages of all these ap
pliances, and remembering the fact that
he received very effective assistance from
outside influences, we feel is a satisfactory
explanation of the result in this county.—
We did the best we could, under the cir
eumstances, and none could have done
better.
Gov. WADE HAMPTON was on Tuesday
last elected a United States Senator from
South Carolina. On the same day he bad
his leg amputated a few inches below the
knee. It will be remembered that a short
time since he was thrown from a mule,
badly breaking and shattering the bones of
the leg just amputated.
AT TIIE meeting of the Board of Par
dons, held in Harrisburg, last week, the
counsel for Jack Kehoe made a strong ef
fort to save their client's neck from the
halter, and in substantiation of their asser
Lion of his innocence, asked fur time to
produce testimony to prove that he - was
not out of the saloon on the night of the
murder of Laugdon fur which he is under
sentence of death. The Board took the
following action :
Editor.
Ordered if by December 13, 1878, the depo
sition of the absent witness itl'Hugh be taken

district attorney of Schaylhill county, a copy
of which deposition shall be furnished each
member of the Board ofPardons, who will cor
respond with each ether, and if the facts war
rant an entertainment of the motion, notice
will be given to the counsel for defendant of
a meeting to hear an application to open the

Something for the New Year.
The world renowned success of Hostetter's
Bitters, and their eontinued popularity for a
quarter of a century as a stomachie, is scarce
ly more wonderful than the welcome that
greets the annual appearance of Hostetter's
Almanac. This valuable medical treatise is
published by Hostetter & Smith, Pittsburgh,
Pa., under their own immedice supervision,
employing 80 bands in that department. Ten
cylinder printing presses, 8 folding machines,
5 job presses, &c., are running about eleven
months in the year on this work, and the issue
of same for 1879 will not be less than ten
millions, printed in the English, German,
French, Welch, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland,
Bohemian and Spanish languages. Refer to a
copy of it for valuable and interesting reading
concerning health, and numerous testimonials
as to the efficacy of Hostetter's Bitters, amuse
ment, varied information, astronomical, cal
culations and chronological items, &c., which
can be depended on for correctness. The
Almanac for 1879 can be obtained free of cost
from druggists and general country dealers in
all parts of the country. [nov6-lm
A Woman's Logic.
'•lt is useless to take medicine. I shall feel
better to-morrow. Besides, 1 need the money
to get that lovely new hat. My old one is
such a fright, and people will look more at
my bonnet than they will at my face. I will
wait till I feel worse before I spend any money
for medicine." The new bonnet is purchased
and fifty other feminine necessaries in the form
of ribbons, laces, brooches, etc. Meanwhile
the lady's face becomes every day paler and
thinner, and her body weaker, until disease
has gained so firm a foothold in her system,
that the most thorough, and ofttimes a long
and tedious course of treatment is necessary
to restore her to health. Ladies, attend to
your health before you even think of apparel.
A fresh, blooming face in a plain bonnet is
much handsomer and far more attractive to
your gentlemen friends, than a pain-worn,
diseased face in the most elaborate and
elegant hat your milliner could devise. Dr.
Pierce's favorite Prescription is everywhere
acknowledged to be the standard remedy for
female complaints and weakness. It is sold
by all druggists.

CITHISTINIA_S
Each succeeding year makes plainer the fact that there is a rapidly
growing taste for Holiday Gifts, combining usefulness with beauty and
correct taste.
STRAWERIDEE & ROTIIIER
Have made very extensive preparations for supplying the prevailing
taste, and have now on daily exhibition the largest stock of useful and
beautiful articles ever placed on sale in Philadelphia. An examination
will convince any one that almost every department of the house contains
articles more appropriate for Christmas-offerings than gifts of silver or
gold.
All who find it inconvenient to visit Philadelphia, are cordially invited
to make their selections and order their goods through our
Mail Order Department.
Of late the business transacted through this Departmeu t has been so
heavy as to necessitate the employment of additional help, but the perfect
system in practice enables us to promptly answer every request for sam
ples, and to fill at once every order in the most satisfactory manner.
Below we give a necessarily brief list of articles especially adapted for
Holiday Gifts.

CLOAKS.
Our success in Hinz the wants of those wanting an outside covering is not one of luck, but of
study, constant inquiry and long experience in the making as well as selling these garments. No
part of our house requires such untiring watchfulness, no kind of merchandise is so worthless when
out of style as a cloak—no department is more active in the season of selling. -
The materials used this season are Diagonals, in various widths, Matelasse, Fur Black Beavers,
Silk Matelasses and Plain Silks; also, a rough-faced material called Camel's Hair, which is new, but
not very pleasing to the eye.
The articles used for Trimmings are Velvet, Gros Grain, Grass Fringe, Fancy Gimps and Braids.
As to shapes, the new things are of the Mantle order, but with a sleeve much more comfortable and
yielding than garments of this character have been heretofore; the general effect, too, is more grace
ful and pleasing. The Sacque, though, retains its old popularity, and is bound to be the leader with
the majority. In shape it differs but little from last season.
CHILDREN'S CLOAKS, from the smallest size up, have our best attention. They are made of
Blue and Brown Beaver, Matelasse and Fancy Cloths, and cost from 54.00 upward.
SHAWLS.
The great variety of styles, materials, colors and weights wanted in a Shawl for different seasons
and occasions, requires a most extensive stock to be abie to suit even a majority of consumers. We
are in condition now to suit more than a majority, having the greatest collection of staples, as well as
novelties, in this line ever shown in Philadelphia—including even the rich fabrics of India, where
years are often occupied in producing one Shawl.
No department has received more personal attention than the Shawls, the buyer having visited
Europe during the summer, and not only bought very largely of ready-made, but ordered made many
styles which could not be procured otherwise. Those having a taste for the novel as well as beauti
ful in Shawl's, should look through our collection.
