THE LATE THAUDEI’S STEVENS.
This remarkable man is dead. He
■<liecl at his hoarding bouse, in Wash
ington City, August H, at midnight.
Mr. S. was 70 years oi* age, and had
been in public life about one-third of
his lifetime. He was a Canal Commis
sioner under the Ritnier administration,
a member of the Convention to amend
the State Constitution, a member of the
State Legislature, and a member of
Congress.
He died calmly. No one of note at
tended him during the last days of his
life. Indeed, ho only desired the pres
ence of a few ‘negroes in his sick room.
Haring the day proceeding his death he
was watched by Ids yellow housekeeper,
Mrs, Smith, two negro preachers, his
negro servant, his coachman, and a
couple of far-off relatives. Just before
he died, however, two Sisters of Char
ity, connected with the Providence Hos
pital of Washington, (a Catholic insti
tution,) were sent for at the request ol
the dying man. They responded to the
call promptly, and on their arrival at
Mr. S’h bed-side performed some cere
monies usually adopted fur the dying.
Sister Loretta, at Mr. Stevens’ request,
then baptized him, and pronounced
him a member of the Homan Catholic
Church. This done, the two Sisters, as
well as the negro preachers, continued
to pray for him until his relative, Si
mon Stevens, exclaimed “ he is dead !”
Thu day following, the corpse was
carried to the Capitol—the pull-bearers
being four whites and four negroes—
where it remained, under a guard of
negro soldiers, until the Friday follow
ing, when it was taken to the cars and
sent to his late home, Lancaster. On
Monday last the remains were commit
ted to the cold and silent grave.
Mr. Stevens was a strange piece of
humanity. That lie possessed great tal
ents none will deny, but yet lie was no
statesman. As an Abolitionist, a Know
.Nothing or Anti-mason, he was power
ful, hitter and vindictive, but lie never
troubled himself about great national
questions. He was happy only', and in
Ins best element, when ho was engaged
in the persecution of nuhi who did not
agree with him. He pursued those
with whom he differed with a relent
less and devilish spirit. Only a few
months ago he expressed a wish tliat all
rebels might land in hell and be guard
ed there by colored soldiers. He cared
neither for law nor the Constitution
when they stood in the way of li is am
bitiouß schemes, and he boldly com
manded his partizans to follow him and
"legislate outside the Constitution.”—
It is well that Tliaddeus Stevens is dead
—well for the country and the people—
for he was a dangerous and crafty man,
and his death will he of incalculable
profit to the nation.
The Testimony of u flopubllcnu.
G. W. Childs, the most successful
newspaper publisher in the country,
and a life-long opponent of the Democ
racy, says in his Philadelphia Ledger ,
that
‘ Horatio Seymour, tho Democratic candidate
f>*r President, 1b a statesman of first-class rank
ami ability.”
*• It must be said to bla credit, as well as that of
the Convention, that ho Is a man of eminent
ability, largely informed upon the public affairs
of this country, experienced In official allalrs, and
of Irreproachable Integrity and morality in bis
private life.”
It is such testimony that honest, and
intelligent men, no matter what their
political predilections may be, must
give, when they regard their honor or
truth. The same cannot he said of tho
candidate of the mongrels.
The heaviest thunder-storm, it is
said, passed over Savannah recently.—
There is a thunder-storm brewing in
the political sky that will be the big
gest ever witnessed in this country.
Wherever its bolts fall there will be a
scatteration of the “ Rads,” and it will
require extra help to carry off the dead
and wounded.
tTILIi GRANT BACK OUTt
Thb proiK\«titod. Is sbrlously entertained ft*
inong the Republican Notional Committee to
have their Convention ro-asseinble, receive
Grant’s resignation, which he suuids ready to .
give In. and nominate a new candidate for the
Presidency. The reason civen Is, that Grant has j
already shown his entire unavailability, ana »
possesses no points on which the party can rally '
even In a respectable minority in this canviisv
The Convention, bo »t lemeinbenx!. did not ad* .
Jonrn without day. but atljonrr.evl subject to tae
call of thgNational O.'iituuuov.—A. 1 ••.t-ui.
That Gran: is willing and anxious to
stvt out of the way and t ivrmit some
more available man to Go selected by
the Radical conspirators -VS their candi
[ date for the Presidency, is a well ascer
\ rained fact. Grant has
the name of the man to take his place
on the ticket. He thinks " Gen. Sher
man i-'iC,"!' he elected.’
That the Radicals aro. sorely cha
grined and disappointed, is evident to
all. They supposed that Gen. Grant’s
military character—a character by the
way, that will not bear criticism —was
sufficient to captivate the people, and
induce them to overlook his many im
perfections. They were mistaken, and
most of them are reluctantly compelled
to confess the great error that was com
mitted when Grant was nominated.—
Grant has no personal popularity ; the
men who served with him in the army
are against him with singular unanim
ity, and the people at largo regard him
a humbug, who, if elected to the Presi
dency, would be the pliant tool of cut
throat politicians. “Straws show
which way the wind blows,” mid indi
cate at the same time tliepeople’s deter
mination. Gen. Scott, wlio was a mili
i tary man, carried three States when he
was a candidate; Gen. Grant, if he has
luck, may carry the same number; Sey
mour, the patriot and statesman, will
carry the balance. He is the man for
the crisis, the man for the people, the
man fit for the position. Fall in, then,
men of all parties, and lot your voices
go up for “Seymour, Blair and one cur
rency for all.”

The whole question is biought down
to this clear point: shall we use our
money to pay our debts, relieve the
tax-payor, make our money good in the
hand of the laborer or pensioner, and
help the bondholder? or shall we use it
to keep up military depotLm, feed idle
negroes, break down the judiciary,
shackle the executive, and destroy all
constitutional rights.”— Seymour.
\Vr [ittemoiie, a New York carpet
bagger Congressman from Soutli Caro
lina, is charged witli having persuaded
all tlie negroes in his district that their
marriages were illegal because the
proclamation of Lincoln set all the
negroes free from matrimony' and sla
very. Then, it is said, he married them
over again, as a magistrate, for truly
101 l fees.
The National hanks, the hondhol

,et tlie laboring men hand together

labor. Will laboring men permit it to
he done? Let them answer at the
polls.
Taxpayers !—Remember that the
Radicals in Congress have spent over
($1,500,000,000) one billion and five hun
dred millions of dollars, in three years
of peace, being more than the whole
cost of Government during sixty years'
of Democratic rule,!
Senator Henderson sums up tire
character of the party of “ great moral
ideas,” and gives a compendium of its
recent legislation when ho says; “To
selfish and malicious purposes therwhole
power of this government has been
given for fifty' days.”
Mr. Wpn. R. King, a very intelligent
citizen of Bedford, Pa., who was a
member of tho Republican party from
its foundation, and who voted for Fre
mont, and twice for Lincoln, has de
clared himself in favor of Seymour and
Blair.
A largo delegation of soldiers from
Ft. Leavenworth marched down to the
Democratic ratification meeting at
Leavenworth, and one of their number
addressed the meeting, indorsing Sey

CA i>t. Sandford Ooin, at the organi

snake in two, and the half to which the

Impartial suffrage, according to
Radical logic, is to enfranchise tiro ne

Prentice says the negro with the
ballot is like the monkey with the ra

The Radical party swallowed Grant
at Chicago, and Prentice thinks thatac
counts for the miserable slugger they
will make at the coming election.
Prentice says that if all flesh is
grass we shall have, after mowing the
Radicals in November, a tremendous
crop of hay.
Stanton’s friends have already put

larder to put him in than it was to get
him out.
A Radical paper says the reason why
Grant don’t say anything is “ because
he don’t feel his oats." But it can’t de
ny that he feels his ry ■ occasionally.
The Radical party, since the Now
York nomination, is in a similar condi
tion to the hoy’s veal. It hasn’t exact
ly died, but it has “ kind o’ gin out.”
Grant draws $20,000 per annum, as
a salary for doing nothingas “ General
of our armies,” and wants to draw S2S,
000 a year more for playing tool to the
Radicals.

that Forney says it is “too expensive”
to hold elections for President in those

Grant recently visited Kentucky,
was in si veral counties, and made one
or two speeches, but wherever he went
the Democracy made extraordinarily
large gains. “ Let us have peace!”

At St. Joseph, Missouri, Sherman

to go to sleep. Tire Democracy will
promise to wake him up with a salvo of

The "-people” whose will Grant in

half civilized negroes, wlro rule ten
states in the South and have more pow

The Democrats propose to save two
hundred and fifty millions of taxes an

army despotism, and smashing the ne

the first kick in October.
A great milny carpet-baggers are

“ Arms 1 give us arms,” is tho cry of
the Carpet-baggers. Wait till next No
vember, and in the general and precipi
tate rush of the Radical party towards
Salt River, legs will be more in demand
than arms.
Two State elections have taken place
since the nomination of Grant, and both
resulted in favor of the Democratic par
ty. Oregon has been Radical for yeark,
and Was confidently counted as one of
the States that wore sure for tirant.—
But the people willed it otherwise.—
They repudiated Grant and his plat
form, and gave the Democratic ticket a
decided majority. That was followed
by the election in Kentucky, with a
Democratic majority of 90,000!

Accustomed, as wo an', to the slowpro*
greas made with railroad ami other in
dustrial enterprises in our eastern States,
we can hardly realize the intense rapidi
ty and energy which have characterized
tho building of the Tnion Pacific Rail
road during tho past two years, and
which arc carrying it forward, during all
this year, at a rate of from two to four
miles per day. How is it mno
this, in a region devoid of all tho aids to
railroad construction which are invalu
able, and which the sett Uni portions of
our country always contain ? cloven
hundred miles in two years! Nothing
like it was over done or oven conceived
before. Can a railroad be built with such
amazing rapidity, and yet he well built*
Must not safety and permanence he sac
rificed .to mere speed? These are ques
tions which have boon asked by those
whose attleuliou has been drawn to tho
work which is being done by those hav-
I ing in charge the construction of this
, immense national railroad.
I These questions are being answered by
! the official statements of the Company,
! ami the testimony of those who have
| visited and thoroughly examined the
Union Pacific Railroad. This testimo
ny all goes to prove the Road to be well
And thoroughly built, completely equip
ped, and admirably managed. The
working force of the Company is not, us
may be cnugectured, confined to a few
hundred men who are laying the rails
upon the lop of the ground simply to
make it possible lor the locomotive to
run over them, but numbers not less
than twenty thousand men—un army di
vided into corps and divisions, according
to the labor to .be done. The graders are
at work in gangs of hundreds, for three
hundred miles-in advance of the com
pleted track ; The wood-uud tie choppers
are away iu the mountains, twenty and
thirty miles distant from the main line,
preparing the lit> that hundreds of mule
teams are engaged in hauling to the
place where wanted ; the track-layers, hy
hundreds, are working with wondrous
energy, to-keep, pace with Lite graders;
the telegraph coip» keep the electric
line well up to the constantly-advancing
end of the track ; and the finishers fol
low oh se upon the track-laj'ers, ami
compute the road toady for the train.
Then, when all these have contributed
their labor toward the building of the
Road, gangs of men constantly patrol
their respective sections of twenty miles
each, and labor incessantly at ballasting,
repairing and improving the continental
highway.
Flow do we learn this? By evidence
of those who passed over the railroad
expressly to see how the work was done.
Thus, a party of thirty respon-ible gen
tlemen,representing as many of me lead
ing newspapers of the eastern cities, has
lately returned from the end of [he road,
and their comments upon the enterprise
are now being published. These i,'« ntle
men took time to fully examine the road,
and to learn all available facts concern
ing it and the country it traverses.—
From their printed opinions we make n
few extracts below.
A word about the character of this ex
cursion parly. The correspondent of the
Boston says;
“No suggestion,direct or indirect, was made
or Implied, that we should lend our Influence to
dvance the Interests of the line by any conceal
ment or extenuation whatever. Neither in pub
ic nor in private was any hint given that we
•ere expected to do Hie duty of a * genial critic.’
‘he character of the invited guests wa* an am
le guarantee that a fair and candid account of
the expedition would he rendeied, and that any
tampering, however delicately managed, would
he promptly and proudly resented. For. with
lew exceptions, the guests were conspicuous re-'
presentatlvcK of the press of three great Atlan
tic cities—men of culinre, character anfl ability.’’
Of tbe cbaraeWr ol tbe finished road
le editor of the Boston Transcrfyt, says :
" Has the road been poorly built as a specula
>n, and to obtain the grants of land and mou-
?y, as Ims been often insinuated or roundly as-
sericd by ils enemies and those ignorant of the
truth? No; most emphatically no. The Union
Pacific is a flrst-clas* road ; finely graded,thor
oughly tied, well ironed und ballasted, and sub
stantially bridged. In short, ami without fear of
contradiction by any who have traveled over
and carefully, observe*! It, It may be distinctly
affirmed, that the Union Pacific will compare
mvorably with many of the best roads in the
country. This statement, I think, would be sub
stantially if not holly Indorsed by the Impartial
witnesses that comprised our excursion party.
Large portions of the track have been tested du
ring a severe fainter; and as! have before wilt
ten you, wo rushed smoothly and safely along,
always at high speed, and sometimes at the rate
of over fifty miles an hour. This certainly sub-
'ted the structure to a severe trial of Ils solid!-
The editor of the Phila. J?'rcss t says:
“Over this road, thus ecjuippled und appoint
ed, our parly made a trial run, which was the
best test possible of Its smoothness, safety, man
agement and general condition. On the home
trip, coming in from Cheyenne to Omaha, a
.stretch of five hundred ami .seventeen miles,
our runningtlineaverngcd Ihlrty-fourandthreo
lourths miles per hour. Atone point fifty-live
miles were run in sixty minutes. This is very
nearly the fastest time on record in the history
of American railroading. That it was made on
a new road, running lu part through a hostile
country. Is the best evidence in the world that
tno romi Has tiuuu uma -witu.uonpgtv fair
ness."
The editor of theßaltimoro American,
says:
“I design speaking in detail hereafter of the
construction and character of the Pacific Hall
road, but must say hero In passing that it Is well
and substantially built ana ballasted, and rides
more easy than two-lhlrda of the roads east of
the Mississippi."
The editor of-the New York Evening
Express, says:
“Figures will not convey, language cannot
udeqmitely describe the magnitude of the under
taking which is now being carried on in this far
western region. Actual observation atone can
serve to thoroughly convince the unbeliever of
the vigor, the unflinching industry which is be
ing exhibited In the construction of this mar
velous road; and, what Is more, constructing it
well. Firm, solid, substantial, wo have as fine a
track ns can bo found on almost any road in the
country, while the traveling accommodations
are full of ease and comfort.”
The editor of the Philadelphia Bulle
tin reviews the road in ail its features,
and says:
“Theroad Itsclfls assolldly and substantially
builtasany railroad in America The bridgeware
built with heavy and well-seasoned timber* the
tlesarolargennd very closely lain; the embank
menlsuro solidly constructed; Ihorallsarecare
mlly gauged and the Joints closely Joined with
• fish-plates;’ the road Is well ballasted with stone
grnveljiQd earth, according to the nature of the
soil, and the traveler passes over this newly hullt.
track with as little consciousness of jolting and
jarlng as If the road-bed had been settled and used
foruuozenyears. Thu high rates of speed which
can be safely attained over the Union Pacific
when required, attest the excellent nature of the
whole work. The rolling stock Is built at the
Company’s shops at Omaha * • and Is of the
inostsubstnutlal character. In short, the closest
scrutiny has failed to discern any signs of hasty
or Imperfect construction."
He further says :
“To the question which suggests those n
marks, we answer unhesitatingly that the Umo
rucltlc Railroad is as substantially built, we
equipped and carefully managed ns any road 1
America.”
Of the way in which the track Is luu
the correspondence of the Boston Tra\
cller says:
Tho construction trahißarc loaded with Iron,tic.-
Hplicoa, chairs,and every necessity for carrying
outlie work. There aroscveral of these trains well
up to the front, uud when one unloads its material
It runs buck to bring up the content* of another
train. In advance ol the const ruction trains Is t he
boarding and sleeping train. This is piHied up
to the extreme end of the track, and when the
construction trainsuro unloadedisrun backun*
til clear of the unloaded material. 'lho ties are
sent forward Irom where they aio unloaded, by
muleteams. us fostif not taster than they are re*
(pared. The rails,-chairs und spikes are loaded
upon trucks running upon thotruck. Those taken
on a load of rails, say lorty each, with the proper
proportion of spikes und chairs, and away they
start on the full gallop for the track-layers. On
eachaldoof the track are rollers which greatly fa
clliate running off the rails. On reaching the
truck-layers, parties of live men stand on either
side of the truck One of them throws a rail on
the rollers Three seize It und run It out to the
proper distance, The chief cries out “ down," and

the truck becomes empty it is removed from the
truck, and the one in the, rear Is brought to the
front,ami the llrst uuo speeds down the line for
more supplies; and so on. for hour after hour.and
day after day, with a rail laid on either sldoof the
truck every thirty seconds, In rain and shine, the
work Is Carried on. the splrlts.or t,h e workmen

i-At Saratoga Springs, New York, a
days since, a bet of $3OOO was made
that New York would give Seymour rfud
Blair 70,000 majority. Tho same offers
were made by others and no takers.-
—Hon. Richard Gregg, of Aurora,
Dearborn county, Ohio, a life-long Whig
ami Republican, made a speech for Sey

—Tho Ulster Democrat , published at
Kingston, New Vbrk, and ■ heretofore a
Radical organ, has' discarded Grant and
Colfax and placed Seymour and Blair at
the mast head.
—The .Secretary of the Birmingham,
Connecticut, Iron and Steel works wr tea
as follows: “As straws show which

—At a Democratic meeting iu Fayette
county, Ohio, last Saturday, the princi
pal speakers were Judge B. M. Briges
aud Col. John M. Connell. Both these
gentlemen have heretofore been staunch
Republicans.
—The Democratic Watchman , publish
ed at Belleioute, says;
" Within a eireio of five miles from
tiiis place, we have the' names of forty
three men who have ulMheir lives . vot
ed with tiie opposition, aud who are ear
nestly working for the success of Sey
mour and Blair.”
—At the last meeting of the Seymour
Club in Media, Delaware county, this
Slate, J. M. Borreli, Esq., who had been
elected Secretary of the Grant Club at
that place, signed the roll ot the Demo
cratic Club, renounced all connection
with the Radical party and made an elo
quent speech in favor of the election of
Seymour and Blair.
—The Dayton Ledger says: “ Chas.
Morris, of Troy, Ohio, one of the leading
lawyers of Miami county, and hitherto
an active and prominent Republican, has
publicly announced his intention to sup
port Seymour and Blair. Q.uite a num
ber of other prominent Republicans in
Miami countjkhave renounced their for
mer faith, ana the Democracy there are
even confident of being able to carry the
county this fall.”
—The Schenectary (N. Y.) Monitor y
heretofore an influential “independent”
paper, has come out “strong for Seymour
and Blair, and the restoration of the
Union.” It well says that the people
are tired of disorder and chaos in the
Government; that “standing armies to
keep an already subdued people in sub
jection, with a paper currency, a mon
strous debt, negro supremacy, and con
tinued violation of Constitution and law
—all these sicken the people, and a
change is demanded.”

Don’t Doubt It.—We learn that one
of our farmers recently hung a hoop
skirt in his corn field to frighten away
tho crows. The crows went off, but the
field was full of boys.
Lives and Public Services of Sey
mour and Blair.— By reference to our
advertising columns it will bo seen that
agents are wanted to obtain subscribers
for this truthful and interesting work. It
is a book of rare merit and should grac£
every gentleman’s library.
Not Any.—Among the gifts to a
newly-married pair the other evening,
was a broom sent to, the lady, accompa
nied with the following sentiment:
" 'lJhls trifling gift accept from mo,
It’s use 1 would commend;
In sunshine use the brushy part,
Instorms the other end."
AN INTEllEß'flNcf QltES'l'ioN.— DOdB
funning on n hot day cool tho funnel?
is a question which sundry newspaper
scribes nro trying to scribble up to the
standard of something abstruse and
mysterious. It is a simple question,
easily answered. Tho more one fans
tiio hotter ono really becomes. This
fact was demonstrated as long ago as
when fans were first generally used.
Salks ok Machinery.— lt is gratify
ing to see the extent to which our farm
ers are investing in improved machinery.
Mr. Simon Bitner, of Bhippensburg, the
agent of McCormick’s Reaper and Mow
er, informs us that in this vicinity ho
sold one hundred and 'thirteen Benperß
during the present season. This Reaper
is confessedly the best in the market, and
we ore glad to see It so generally intro
duced among our farmers.
Bold Bobbery.—On last Sunday
evening the residence of Rev, David
Sterrett, in this place, was entered by
burglars,while tho family were at Church.
They proceeded to a room on tho second
floor, where they succeeded in getting
two valuable gold watches, aud a port
mouiae with some money in it. At this
point they were alarmed by the return of
some members of the family, and made
their escape by jumping from the balcony
into the stable yard of tho Union Hotel.
All efforts to trace them further were un
successful, aud tire miscreats are still at
large.
DYKi’Ei’SiA and Scrofula are two ity
dra-hended monsters from which nearly,
ail tiie ills that flesh is heir to originate.
For dyspepsia, tiie Peruvian Syrup; a
protected solution of tho protoxid'iron,
is a long-tried and well established
remedy i tlhd for scrofula in ail its mani
fold forms, Dr. Ji. Antler’s lodine Wa
ter is a specific. If those afflicted will
try these remedies they will thank us
for calling their attention to them.
Club Meeting.—The Democratic
citizens of Silver Spring township met
at Duoy’s Hotel, iu Hoguestown, and
organized a Club by the election of tho
following officers:
President —R. A. Bucher,
Vice President —William Senseman
Recording Sec’y —AdamS. Longsdorf,
Cor. Sea'y —Calvin Clondcnin,
Treasurer —George Gross.
After appropriate remarks by the
President, the Club adjourned to meet
at New Kingston, on Saturday eve
ning, August 29.
Prc-Nic. —The largest and most elabo
rately gotten-up pic-nio of the season Was
held in a grove near Boiling Springs, on
Thursday last. Several hundred invita
tions had been issued, and uearly all of
them accepted. Wo sincerely regret that
business engagements called us away
from home and prevented our attendance.
Contrary to the usual order, the enter
tainment was given in the afternoon and
evening. A large platform had been
erected for those who wished to “ trip the
light fantastic,’' and when the woods
were lighted up at night, the scene is
said to have been most inspiring. The
assembly did not break up until after the
hour of midnight*
Our Schools and Teachers.— Our
Public Schools opened on Monday last,
in charge of the following teachers:
Primary Department—First Grade—
Miss R. Wightman, Miss Rachael Ed
monds, Mias Mary Landis, Miss Bella
Bectem, Mrs. E. Humrich.
Second Grade—Miss Mary'- Postloth
wulta, Mrs. H. Adair, 3?. limb ten, Dr.
W. G. My era.
Secondary Department—First Grade —
Miss Lucy Gardner, Miss M. E. B. Phil •
lips, Jno C. Stock, S. D. Hampton.
Second Grade— Mias Annie Under
wood, Mr. R. H. Williams.
Girls’ High School —Miss Martha K.
Underwood.
Bogs' High School —Davidson Eckels.
Colored Schools —Miss Mary Roightcr,
Miss Sarah Bell.
Rancid Butter. —To a pint of wa.
ter add thirty drops—about half a tea
spoonful—of liquid chloride of lime.—
Wash in this two and a half pounds of
rancid butter. When every particle of
the butter has come ip contact with the
water, lot it stand an hour or two: then
wash it well in pure water. The .but
ter Is then left without any odor, and
has the sweetness of fresh butler.—
These preparations of lime have noth
ing injurious in them.
Wo copy the above from one of our
' exenatigwv tRtJ eaiior wltlcli anya;
“We forthwith obtained some of the
most rancid butter, and it was bad enough
for any stomach that had more sensibili
ty than a wagon wheel. Wo doctored it
as per recipe, and when placed on the
table along with new, good .butter, very
able judges could not distinguish which
was the new butter. Here is a fact worth
a year’s aubsciptlou to a paper.
Harvest Home. —The Harvest Homo
celebration, under the.auspices of the
Agricultural Society, at the Fair Grounds,
on Saturday, was a very creditable affair,
so far as the arrangements of the Society
were concerned—but was very slimly at
tended, there being, not over one hun
dred people-on the grounds.
An interesting and instructive address
was delivered by Judge Watts, in which
he alluded to the gradually decreasing
crops of wheat, in our valley, and sug
gested that it was occasioned by the want
of bone material in the soil. He strongly
urged the use of guano, and spoke of the
many advantages of having grain thresh
ed out by separators instead of the old
fashioned threshing machines. His ad
dress 'was listened to with close atten
tion, and doubtless considerable profit,
by those who heard it.
After' the address, those pesent par
took of an excellent cold collation.
Opening oftiiis Schools.— Some k i ud
hearted old pedagogue, whoevideutly had
not forgotten the varying emotions of hia
school-boy days, advertised the opening
of hia school thus : “ Dear boys, trouble
begins September loth.” Trouble began
for tho deny boys and girls of our borough
on Mouday last. As the troops of chil
dren passed our door—some timid and re
luctant, others eager, expectant, excited—
we could not help recalling the hopes and
fears and doubts which, lu our school-life,
always hung around the opening day of
the session. How tho little hearts do
beat, when the teacher turns the corner;
and how the little hands do nervously
clutch the satchel, lest the public execu
tioner may pounce upon them and give
them a good threshing just to “get his
hand in." No wonder the little hearts
beat and the little knees smite together I
Well have tho boding tremblers learned to trace
The day’s disasters m his morning face;
Full wolf tbey laugh, with counterfeited glee,
At all his Jokes, for many a joko hath he;
Full well tho busy whisper, circling round,
Conveyoa tho dismal tidings when bo frowned.”
No wonder they hold “the master’s 1 ’
transcendent abilities in most reverential
awe, for
m The village all declared how much ho knew;
>Twas certain he could write and cipher too;
Lands ho could measure, terms and tides presage
And ’oen tho story ran that he could guage;
And still they gazed and still tho wonderjgrew
That one email head could carry oh he knew,"

advantage of all who desire a bargain
to call early.
Will open to-day a ne\V lot of Prints,
Muslins, Sheetings, Shawls and Blank
ets at very low rates.
Enckb’s Comet.— The fifteenth pre
dicted appearance of Encke’s celebra
ted comet is now at hand. Calculation
assigns the last of this month as the
time when it will bo nearest the earth.
This little comet whisks around the sun
in an elliptical orbit once in a little
more than three years, and is always
seen from some part of the earth, for a
short time, when passing to or from the
vicinity of its perihelion. Look out for
the visitor.
Foliage, —The delicate beauty of the
spring foliage of trees has disappeared;
everything green has deepened its col
or, and the leaves have expanded to
their full size. Instead of an exquisite
delicacy in size and color, the foliage is
rich, heavy and luxuriant. This is the
season of nature’s most voluptuous
growth. There are three particular pe
riods in the life and death of foliage
each year, in which the leaves are pecu
liarly beautiful. The beauty of each
period is entirely distinct from that of
either of the others. The first has
passed this year—the geiyn period; the
second wo are now enjoying; the third
will come in the autumn, the many
tinted season. Between each period
the time of transition remiuds us of
past beauty, or suggests that which is
coming.
Sad Occurrence.— We have to record
the melancholly intelligence that, on
Tuesday night, Amos Sketor was instant
ly UIIIImI by a blow received from » man
to whom htTpresented a bill, and threat
ened to “lake it out in his blood.” -The
indignant man, whose name wo could
not learn, in a heat of uncontrollable pas
sion, drew buck and struck his opponent
a powerful blow with Ins list, which took
effect on the left temple. Sketor dropped
like a bullock to the ground, and after a
few brief struggles, expired. The mur
derer then quietly walked away. He
claimed that he.was justified in the deed,
ami expressed no regrets for what he had
done, saying that he had been provoked
boymitjjgiulurauce.- The deceased was of
a mnnonuis family, and his tragic death
will be mourned by a large circle of
friends. He was rash and impetuous,
and to tins fact owes his horrible death.
We could not 'earn his age. The mur
derer was, at last accounts, still at large,
no attempt having been made by the au
thorjties to secure ills arrest.
The llalk. —Head what Elder D. Tay
lor of Rouse’s Point, N. Y., says on the
hair. “The human hair, bleached by
age fright or. disease, can be fully restor
ed to its natural color without dyeing it.
My case illustrates this statement truth
’fnlly. My hair for seventeen years has
been gradually growing white and falling
out; but, lo! in a short time I have back
my old auburn locks my hair is as firm*
as when young; this has been accomplish
ed by the use of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian
Hair Renewer. It does Its work rapidly,
is cooling, healing, and, in my case effec
tually, without harm to brain, body,-or
general health; this cannot be said of
any other preparation sold. I do not
know the wonderful ingredients, but I
do know experimentally, and by observa
tion in scores of, cases, that it is a.most
marvelously transforming compound.—
Heads of sixty-five are changed by it to
youth.” The proprietors, R. P; Hall &
Go., Nashua. N. H., will sell to the
clergymen at wholesale prices. It
Aiuiested.— On Friday evening a
difficulty occurred between the police
and a soldier, in front of Mrs. Kieffer’s
stoic, which resulted in the soldier be
ing knocked down and taken to jail.—
We were informed that the police
stopped the soldier and demanded his
pass, when he declared he would kill
them, if they interfered with him.—
If this was all, it was scarcely cause for
such rough treatment as he received;
and we are informed that the soldier
made no attempt to resist the officers of
the law. We have always been one
ofthe moststrenuousadvocatesof the po
lice system,but would remind the
of the law that tjieir is such a thing as
a community being governed too much.
Wo never could see the nescssijy for
our borough police being made a patrol
for the arrest of those who take “french
leave” from the garrison, and we utterly
deny the authority of our civil officers to
arrest asoldior who is behaving himself,
simply because he has no pass from the
proper officer at the post.
