THE Pennsylvania Legislature will meet

FIFTEEN contests win be made fur seats

XLY Ith Congress.
THE walking match between O'Leary
and 'Campana, which had been in progress
at Gilmore's Garden, New York, for the
last six days, terminated in a victory for
O'Leary on Saturday evening.
WE see a notice going the rounds of the
press to the effect that M. Edgar King, esq ,
of the Blair County Radical, is to have a
pisition under the incoming lloyt ad
ministration worth $l,BOO per year. We
hope that the rumor may be correct.
THE Taller investigating committee
started this (Thursday) morning, for New
Orleans, Charleston and other places, for
the purpose of taking testimony bearing
on the crookedness of the late elections in
that . Democracy•cursed section of our
country.
ALLEN C. LAROS, the parricide, who
escaped from the Insane Asylum, a few
months ago, is back in his old quarters.
He says that he prefers hanging to im
prisonment, and is anxious that the sen
tence be carried out. He should be aq,-
commodated by all means.
A LARGE building, known as the "The
Cottage," containing twenty eight rooms,
situate about a half mile from Minnequa
Springs, and used as sleeping departments
during the season, was totally destroyed
by fire on the morning of the 27th ult
together with a large quantity of elegant
furniture.
ROBERT Fox, of Fox's theatre, Phila
delphia, undertook to inaugurate Sunday
performances a couple of Sundays ago,
and as a feller he gave a public full-dress
rehearsal on the day referred to. He
attempted to evade the law by not receiv
ing an admission fee, but it seems that he
has got himself into trouble and three
indictments are now pending against him .
On the occasion referred to about three
thousand persons crowded his theatre.
Major Stokely and his police are determin -
cd that the Sunday law shall be respected.
JOHN WANAM.AKER'S Grand Depot
was lighted by twenty-four electric lights,
one night last week, which did the work
of 2,400 gas gets. Quite a large number
of scientific gentlemen were present to
witness the experiment, and they seemed
to be of the opinion that it was a success.
If the electric light can be brought to per
fection it will knock gas light higher than
Gilderoy's kite, as it is claimed that a light
of two hundred candle power can be fur•
niched at a cost of about one-half cent per
hour.
CoL. OWEN JONES, at one time a prom
inent Democratic politician, who resided
in a palatial residence at Wynnewood,
near Philadelphia, died suddenly of heart
disease, on Christmas night. He left his
house at nightfall to visit a neighbor, in
structing one of his hired help to call for
him at 10 o'clock. The man called at the
hour named but was informed that Cul.
Jones had not been there that evening.
Search was at once instituted for the miss
ing man and about midnight his lifeless
body WB9 found by the roadside, a short
distance from his own home. The de-
ceased was an ultra Democrat, and repre
sented the Fifth District in Congress
during the Buchanan reign. He died
worth several millions of dollars.
IN LAST week's issue we stated that. a
rumor was current that S. L. Glasgow, esq ,
of Saltillo, would be an applicant for Dep
uty Attorney General under Gov. Hoyt.
Since then we have authentic information
that such is the fact, and we trust he will
succeed. He has the, reputation of being
a good lawyer, and we know he deserves
the place. We have known Mr. Glasgow
long and intimately, and we are at in
saying that no better Republican lives.
than he. We learn that he is very favor
ably recommended by the Republican
members of the Huntingdon bar, and by
quite a number of other leading men of
the party in this county and other portions
of the State. We hope to be able to an
nounce his appointment at the proper
time. We say emphatically let it be made.
THE LATEST ABOUT CHARLIE Ross.—
Dr. Mary Walker announces that she
knows all about the Charlie Ross story
She says that when he disappeared she
hastened to his parents, and gave them not
only condolence but als3 money and her
personal efforts to fathom the mystery.
She lived in the family for some time
She stumbled across a bit of information
which led to the belief that all was not
right, and she finally discovered that
Charlie's father had put the little boy out
to board with a family who were iu the
conspiracy. She says she did not expose
the fraud, because it took her many
months to fiud out where the boy was kept.
She claims that Ross has made a large
sum of money out of the sympathies of
the public, and that he has offered to pay
her handsomely if she would keep her
knowledge to herself. The boy would
have been discovered long ago, and, in
deed, arrangements were once made to
have the child found at St. Albans, Vt.,
but it was known that she would expose
the farce, and so he has kept. secluded.
She says that within three weeks she has
been and spoken with the child, :Ind that
she is acquainted with his entire history
since the gupposed abduction. She will
publish a book in two or three weeks con
taining the complete story of what she
calls the greatest hoax ever perpetrated
upon the American people . . A.goad many
people have given considerable wedence
t) Dr. Mary's story, while others think it
a shrewd device for raising the wind in a
forthcoming literary effort.
NEWSPATORIAL.-
B. F. Fries, exit , who started the Green
back paper in this town, is about to start
a new paper at Reading
The Altoona San, we understand, will
be enlarged this week. We are pleased to
note this evidence of prosperity.
Owing to ill health, S. M. Wherry, esq.,
was compelled to retire from the Carlisle
Vuluntecr, and he has been succeeded by
Mr. Zeamer who has purchased the estab
lishment.
Editor,
The Philudelphia Tiiius says that a new
Democratic paper is to make its appear
ance in Bellefonte. The Herald, the organ
of the defunct Greenbackers, has been
purchased and the material will be used in
the publication of the new paper. There
is "fun ahead," and there will be "music in
the air" "over there "
The Owl, published at Patterson, Junia
ta county, by "Some One," which was
temporarily suspended a short time since,
has again made its appearance, and, as
usual, is filled with pointed local personals.
We have no doubt its "hoot" is unpleas
ant to many of the young people of that
The Chambersburg Valley Spirit
changed hands a few weeks ago, Mr. J.
W. Wolfkill having purchased the estab
lishment from Mr. J. C. Clugston, is now
its publisher. J. M. Cooper, esq., who
has so ably presided over its editorial
columns for some time past, will retain his
position as its editor and continue to grind
out pure and unadulterated Democracy.
The Spirit is ably conducted, and is a
paying establishment. We wish all parties
success as far as an accumulation of this
world's goods is concerned, but in every
,olitical contest we want them to come off
second best.
We a . .T in receipt of 7he Totelerr, a
new publication just started by the
Eldridge Brothers, at 17 North Seventh
street, Philadelphia. The number before
us contains many things of value to teach
ers, and in fact is a store house of general
information. It is a monthly publication
and is furnished at the low price of fifty
cents a year. We recognize in one of the
publishers our old-time friend George P.
Eldridge, who, in 1855 6, up in Morris
township, "tanght the young idea how to
shoot." For a number of years past he
has resided in Philadelphia where he is
extensively engaged in the book trade.
And still they come. The Ifome
Monthly is the latest acquisition to the
large list of papers printed in this county.
The paper is published at Huntingdon.
by our worthy young townsman, E. B.
Swayne, and the initial number is a hand
some specimen of typography. It is an
eight page sheet, each page being 11x16
inches, containing four columns of
matter, and is issued at the low subscrip
tion price of fifty cents per annum. In
view of the fact that there are so many
papers in this county we fear that our
young friend will not make a fortune out
of his venture, but we hope that we may
be wrong in our opinion, and that the
shekels may roll in and fill his coffers to
repletion.
MR. Yocum, who defeated the "War
Governor" for Congress, in the Centre
district, and whose seat is to be contested,
in the preparation of his answer to Cur
tin's notice of contest, has stumbled on
some very damaging evidence against the
Curtinites. He will be able to prove that
large sums of money were used for the
purpose of bribing and buying men to
vote for Curtin. A Bellefonte dispatch
says that "there are some men who have
hitherto claimed a reputation for honesty
and integrity, both in public and private
life, wbo will realize that their zeal in the
recent canvass in behalf of Curtin
has placed thew in the very unenviable
position of gross violators of the election
laws, and probably successful candidzites
for the penitentiary.
SAYS the Philadelphia Press : "The In
flationists who prophesied that resumption
was impossible and the attempt tc) resume
would prove disastrous, must be rather
surprised at the ease with which gold
touched par in advance of the date fixed
upon. Fortunately, the people were able
to distinguish sophistry from common
sense and supported the party of honest
money."
DEATH OF HON. ROBERT W. MAcKEY.
—This sad event occurred at Philadelphia,
at ten minutes past ten o'clock on Wednes
day morning last. The disease which cut
short a useful career was consumption,
from which he has been suffering for
several years.
JUDGE SHERMAN, of Ohio, brother of
Secretary and General Sherman, died sud
denly, at his residence, in Cleveland, on
Wednesday morning.
GOOD FOR BABIES —We are pleased to
say that our baby was permanently cured of
serious protracted irregularity of the bowels
by the use of flop Bitters by its mother, which
at the same time restored her to perfect heelth
and strength.—The Parents, University ave.,

1879-THE NEW YEAR-1879
In entering upon a new twelvemonth, which
begins with every sign auspicious for all the ac
tive, literary and artistic interests of the country;
with every indication of an immediate future as
favorable to the advance of liberal enterprise as
the immediate past has been adverse; the pro
prietor of the
THE - NEW YORK MERCURY
proposes to have a new life, as it were, infused
into this so long rep t resentative metropolitan
weekly repository of Literature, Dramatic and
Musical specialities and general news. Always
a pungently original and endlessly varied epitome
of the most attractive literary novelties, artistic
information, social saliencies, choicest regular con
tributions and brighest journalistic, department
of the day, it is intended that it shall be made
yet brighter and more comprehensive in general
by the addition of striking new features and the
aid of an increased force of first-class writers.
Any current number of the paper now will serve
to show the progress of these invizoraiLu......l-re.j,, evattng ..
improcementx, - - at" once recalling to
thousands of readers the most brilliant past epoohs
of their favorite weekly's veteran career - and
eclipsing all precedents therein. The NEW YORK
MERCURY for the year 1879 will be far stronger
than ever in its great standard speoialities,
SPLENDID SERIALS,
OFFICIAL DRAMATIC INTELLIGENCE,
COMPLETE STORIES AND POEMS,
STRIKING SOCIAL NHWS,
and its usual unrivaled array of the beat of con
tributions and fresh ideas in every line of inter
esting reading; and it is designed that inimita
ble new specialities in
ORIGINAL HUMOR,
THE ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE,
SOCIETY'S WIT AND SPARKLE,
LITERATURE'S NATIVE STRENGTH,
and the grandest work that liberal inducements
can obtain from the most celebrated foreign, as
well as native, pens, shall be among the future
characteristics, of the paper. Better times seems
to have come, indeed, at last, to encourage fresh
outlay in the interests of public instruction and
amusement, and the New YORK MERCURY will be
found
of institutions recognising and acting upon every
encouragement to fresh and generous enterprise
that the New Year promises to afford. A goodly,
loyal army of old friends and new are already
subscribers, in every part of the Union and in
many parts of Europe; but an even greator con
stituency yet needs just such a combination of all
the choicest Literary and Artistic attractions of
the whole newspaper world in one great weekly,
as they may find in the
New 'fork Mercury for 1979.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION,
The NEW YORK MERCURY, with its fifty-six col

taste, and have now on daily exhibition the largest stock of uteful 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
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 Department has been so
heavy as to necessitate the employment of additional help, but the perfect

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

CLOAKS.
Our success in fillinz the wants of those wanting an outside covering is not one of luck, b z o
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 wben
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, Matelease, Fur Black Beavers,
Silk Matelassea and Plain Silks; also, a rough-faced material called Camel's Hair, which is new, bat
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 $4.00 upward.
SHAWLS II
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 able 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.
Square Blanket Shawls, $ 2.50 to 3.50
Long Blanket Shawls, 4.00 to 8.00
