inquest Tlioinu Kathcart was before in

showed John's position to bo about the
doorway, Martha's further back in the
room and rather to right of door ns you

i feet lo the left of ran go with John.
Thomas' position was 2 feet nearer the

led up his shirt showing us a cut of sonic
length nearly Mruight up und down and
abjut j of an inch below it thore was a
bruise. I told him wo must see the shirt
ho said i I was out here but did not go for
it. I repeated we must ee the shirt, and
he said tho back was nil torn out and we
could see nothing of it if we had it. The
cut on his back could not harebeen made
by a bull. It might have been made wi'h
a knife, as the skin was clearly cut. He
said the bullet struck him first. Accor
ding to portion he showed us they were
in, il would havo struck her in right side
i' it had glanced, but she was shot in the
loft. He said w hen John seen what he
hid done he drew the gun an (truck il on
the lloor.
Nancv was also before us. Sho said
Tom hud gono to John's staid longc-j than
ho ought, she went to soe wh.it was keep

An Awful Mistake.
Tho Journal makes an estimate ofthe
;rcsu't 0'" the election of Congressmen in
this district, whiuli elect its friend Gen.
Pattov. without any trouble.
He nocd go no further than to stnto
that in this calculation is claimed from
800 to 1000 majority for Pattojt in War
ren county."
Thi is more than that county ever gave,
nnd we heard a gentleman offering to bet
i v a
$500 that Taiton' majority in Warren
would not bojour hundred, Rnd oould pet
no taken.

from Curwensvillo the whole, to a casu

Lave suffered their aim was aocomplish-
cd. In Ibis respect they made twice the
iAoit the Democrats did the night before,
'who made no attempt whatever nt a false
J display. This fct wa made appa
'rent when the meeting organized occu
pying the same ground but occupying
'quite a small portion of tho street, as
'compared with the jam the night before,
;allhigh a large wagon was placed oppo
' site the stand, as if (o help fill up.
I The Iiaftmans Journal bnvipg previously
arranged nil ihc oflicers of the meeting
soon mounted the stand pulled ft paper out
of his pocket nnd told tho people that
Hon T. B. Davis was the President ofthe
meeting, with a long lUt of Vice
President and Secretaries, nmong
whom aro some of the eldest and
most radical abolitionists to bo found
anyw here.
Mr Gordo.v, the Black llepublican can
didate for Assembly, wai t'je first speak
er, of course to said nothing new", and no
body appeared the least sorry when he
quit.
Gen. Patios, luing called upon, ap
peared upon the stand, and told the au
dience tha, ho would not make it speech
for the vary good re a--on that lie could
not.
. The General said that he wn a Repub
lican, heartily endorsed the Chicago plut
for:n, and was in favor of the election of
Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin none of
which parts had ever been doubted. ,
Next came the rather notorious W. W.
Brown bettor known perhaps as npplo
dumpling Brown of Bellefonte. Us is
awfully full of wind, and ns speakers seem
ed to be scarce on this occasion, Brown
was in clover. Jle had the "whole field, as
well ns tho night, to himself, nnd well he
improved tho opportunity. This audi
ence had to bear the nwful infliction of
his terrible harr.ingue, for nt least two
mortil hours! Brown used lo be un
in
tciisi.SoJ Amerioar a regular Sinum pure
Know Nothing, he had less use for a Cath
olic or fl foreigner th in he had for th?
devil.
li'hen we stale that he had tho burbo
rous "Helper Book," for his text, from
which he read the garbled extracts Here
in compiled from tho works of Jefferson,
ifcc, our readers w ill have n flicieut de
scription of his speech.
If we nre not mistaken, Mr. Brown pub
lished copious extract from this ince.ndia
iy work U-.t spring, emlorsci it fully an
any other man in tho fetate. We were
only astonished thai such sentiment
could bo -.ittered beforo an nudiencc in
ueainei'i county without exciting a per
fect storm of indignation.
Foster an be Elected.
There i every re.aou to believe that
Henry D. Foster w ill bo electee Governor
of Pennsylvania by a largo majority, as ho
will receive tho votes of all tho conserva
tive parties in the State opposed to the
Republican. Indeed, when wo consider
tho conservatism of Pennsylvania, wo
not know how nny other result than tho
. ' "
election of hoster enn bo regarded as pro-
. . .
bablo. The Republican party has always house ne.ir where the lino of Thomas Mo
been in n minority, and Andrew O. Cur- bafl'cy crosses the same, in Burnsido tp.

made, has not only a tendency to injuid
J. K. Kei r's election, if believed, but ah
doe gross nnd manifest injustice to you:
