Vnuappy. "Democratic Economy and the Census" disturbed the Journal family very much last week. Why not give us something brilliant on the subject ol "Star Routes?" Perhaps that huge fraud is unknown to the "Star" editors in question. Don't fail to road the Act of Assem bly, to be found olsewhero in this issue, relating to the holding ol Frimary elec tions and county Conventions. The law is a good one, and should be un derstood and respected by candidates and voteis. Primary Kuctioh. The Donio cralio Frimary olection will be held this year on Saturday, September 17th. It will, therefore, be in order to publish the names of candidates on and after tho 10th oi August. All candidates will pleaso tuke notice In London, England, at 1 o'clock on Monday morning Howell and Weston started on tlfeir six days walk lor the championship of tho world. Many Americans wore prcsont. Rowoll im mediately commenced to run ; Weston walking. Tho score at 2:30 A. M stood : Howell, 13 ; Weston, 10) miles. Forty-two. Tho erection of Du liois and Glen Hope into boronghs in creases the number of delegates in our county and puts the full vote np to oighty-two (82).

Wo publish in advance our Frimary Election Hulos for tho benefit of our readers. Candi dates and others bad hotter clip them and keep them on hand, so that when they want to read them thoy will have them on band. We will republish about the first and sucnod weeks in August. A "Tony" Cuick. We see it stated that the Pennsylvania .Railroad Com pany, the other day, issued a chock for the purchase money of the Philadel phia, Wilmington and Baltimore road, for tbo sum of fourteen million nine hundred and forty-nine thousand one hundred and fifty-two dollars (814, 949,152). That was a nice thing to have ; but no printer will ever be an noyed with a papor of that kind. Thoy give too much away. Inquisitive. A "Blair county vo ter" writing In the Philadelphia Times wants Kewit to employ his great lit erary talent in writing np a history of tho Corry fish hatchery its pur chase, erection and utility, and partic ularly its cost in dotail, and who got the money. "If publisbod in a pam phlet form it could bo utilised as an electioneering documont and would be potent, no doubt, with those who doubt the Ingonious economy of our 'Bonny.'" "Murder Mills." That's a proper designation for the Co-operative plan of life Insurance, as is now cultivated or worked up in many sections of our State. Insuranco on cither life or property is a legitimate business trans action ; but the modern Co operative plan is so absolutely against tho laws of God that no man possessed of ordi nary views of mortality can defend tho scheme. An ix-Inuian Affair. Carl Schurr's paper, tho Now York Post, replies to Grant's latest aspersion upon him thus : "Genoral Grant has been talking again at St. Louis, and has been faithfully rcportod by tho newspapers. From his conversation one might almost concludo that be did not lovo Mr. Carl Scbuns as much aa he loves Mr. Hos coe Conkling and Boss Shepherd. This Is remarkable.". The Schuri in fluence intimates that it is liquor talk ing in Grant. Bust Between Drinks. The Phil adelphia Timet went for a Buckeye a fow days ago as follows: "Governor Kostor is working protty hard to get his Ohio campaign in shape. His present effort is to get the temperanoe end of the party to understand that be isn't a drinking man, while the othor end is notified that he isn't a temperance man. This ii entirely a sloight-otband performance and keeps tbe Governor of Ohio pretty busy be- twoen drinks. Tally One. Tho Erie Wumvr man says i Slate Treasurer Butler refuses to pay the members of the Legislature more than their $1,000 salary. They voted thomsclvos 11,500 each, but the Attorney Gonoral says the law la un constitutional. A bill was passed au thoriaing the Dauphin county Court to issue a mandamus on the State Treas urer, and thus an issno would be made. The members have subscribed a fund to pay counsel to carry it to the Su premo Court, and th question of the $500 extra nay will be decided by tbe Court.of last resort the Judgea of which had their salaries increased by the last legislature. 777 A' PRICE OF HORSE FLESH. We notice that by tho proceedings of (ho annual sale of blooded stock in Now York, on tho 1 lib, int., that some handsome figures were paid by tlio purchasers. There wan a good attend ance of turfmen and somewhat spirited bidding at the American Horse Kx chango ol Krdinbeim yearlings, the property of Mr. A. Welch of Chestnut Hill, Fa., and all but one the gut of the English stallion Yidoth and the Amorican horses Alarm and Reform. Mr. Welch is the breeder of Parole and Iriijuoia and was the owner of Flora Temple when sho was in her best days. Henry Draper was the auctioneer. Tbo sales, the purchasers and prices are as follows : Brown colt by Reform, dam Emily Fuller, sold to Charles Bathgate, New York, lor 1400; chestnut coll by ilart ington, dam Irono, to William Cook, New York, 1100; bay coll by Alarm, dam Thoodosia, to Charles Bathgato, New York, 1850; choslnut coll by Alarm, dam Auatralind, to Win.

It is believed that not less than one hun dred millions of dollars of life insurance have been place for speculative, in somo instances fraudlent purposes, in this State. Somo reliable persons put the amount at $300,000,000. Old men upon their death-beds, or In the weak nessof their last diseaso, aro insured by unprincipled agents in complicity with physicians or alleged physicians, the policy is paid for by these agents or their friends and at the death of the in sured the sum goes to the holder of the policy. It is mency coined in the coffin. Tho traffic of this kind has lately reached such an astounding ex tent in Pennsylvania that it was found necessary by rcKpoctablo and decent pooplo to frame a bill to prevent it and present it to our Legislature for pass age. Jfut our Legislature was not to be moved as one man In favor of such a reform, and on the last night of the sossion the bill was lost by one vote, and for another period the men who swindle the dying and connive at mur der are to have full sway and glut their pockots with the gains they steal from the corpses of their victims. "Government" TaouiiLCs. An ex change says : Virginia will soon rival Louisiana in pilgrimages of Republi can politicians to Washington to in struct tho Fresidont in regard to the disposal of spoils and the wickedness of Mabono. There is a mixed delega tion there now in the Interest of the straight-out Republicans to protest against Garfield taking sides with the Mahono Republican coalition. In a few days the "naked dishonesty "crowd will put in an appoaranco and endeav or to convince the President of the loveliness of tho situation and the beauties of repudiation. If Garfiold don't go back on himself he will side with the Mabone crowd. IfGrantand Conkling are to be believed his moral honesty is not to bo relied on, and if ho can cheat both sides he will ; but it bo can't then he will range himself on the worst side. Tm Judicial Apportionment ve toed. Governor Hoyt vetoed the Ju dicial Apportionment bill on Saturday. The bill was vetoed mainly on the ground that it proposed to establish separate judicial districts in Lebanon, Jefferson and Greene counties, not ono of which has tho requisite population of 40,000, according to tho last connus. Although the bill would have increased the number of judges nine, and the yearly oxponsos nearly $40,000, tho Govornor touches lightly on tbo in croased cost it would entail on the Slate. The Governor does not attempt to as some what aro convenient judicial dis tricts, leaving that entirely to the judg ment of tho Legislature. The action of the Governor in this case will no no doubt receive univorsal approval throughout tbe Stnto. Hi Talks Like a Statesman. Mr. Allen W. Thurman, of Columbus, Ohio, received a lettor from bis lather, ox- Senator Thurman, the other day, now in Frauce, in which tho latter says : "I see by tbo nowspapors that I am talked about as a candidate for Gov ernor. I made up my mind when 1 loft the Sonato that I would return to private life for good and ever, and I romain of that mind. If, thorefore, there is any disposition to nominato me you will tell my friends that I cannot acoopt. My private affairs, too long neglected, noed all my attention ; and bosidos, 1 have arrived at that ago whon a man ought to quit holding office. I have had my full share of the honors. Let the youngor mon come to the front" The Radicals of Jcfforaon county met at Brookville on Monday of last week, and nominated the following county ticket: President Judge, A C. White, Brookvillo; rrothonotary, J. G. Allen, of Warsaw township ; Sheriff, John B. Coon, of l oung town ship ; Treasurer, Nolson D. Corey, of Boll township ; Commissioners, James B. Jordan, of Big Hun borough, and G. B. Carrier, of Clover township; Auditors, W. C. Smith, of Washington township, and W. A. Andrews, of Pine crock township. Dr. W. M. B. Gibson, ol Reynoldsvillo, was elocted Chairman of the County Committee. The Dem ocrat! will hold their Convention next Monday. Gale Sherman recently rode from Lima, Ohio, to Boston, Mass., on a bi cycle, and is now on his homoward journey on the same steed which, with out so much as a strainod backbone, bore bim so gallantly over 1,005 milee of country turnpikes and city pavement. COMMUNICATED. Commissioners' Omci, ) Clearfield Co., Pa.. June 20. '81. ( To the. Taxpayeri of Clearfield county : A t tho last Term of Court, the Grand Jury, in its final report, among other things, made the following statement: Wo bftfo iMrnod ib.t tbo ConnnUiionorf of Cloi'Solil .iiUQtr, wllbont worroot of low, did toll lo private lodlrl.luol o dopllrolo ol ooo of tho hen ornl populoua lnablpi (Woodwork) of tbo oountv for otio fourth uf III ftorv.lu., whiob be, is Iroi tbon two weoki, eullootod, ond siting bl: oirorproiti 01 iiTon.) nuailrrd duller, no orb your oioooro tbot ,un Itmruet tbo Di.lrtot Atlorooj to mono . eouipiottlovoftigolitta of tbo motlor by tbo noit tortu of Court, tbot tbo sorioo mo; bo tuodo to noko full rootitutioa of tbo niooo of lb.aon.it toipoyori. And In explanation of our conduct in connection with the selling of the dtiplicato referred to, we make tbe f'ol lowing statement which is tbe truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and in tins it diners very ma terially from tho nntrnthlul verbose and garbled report of the Grand Jury, as will appear to any ono who will take the trouble to call at tho rroas uror's office and examino tlio records for himself. Whon Grand Juries are making a report under onlh, we think it is their duty to inquro of tho proper place and parties as to the real state of facts betbre giving publicity to' a statement which' will be spread all over tho county and Stnto, charging tbe Uounty Commissioners not only with dereliction ol duty, but of know ingly and willfully acting without war rant of law in selling a duplicato to a private individual, and thereby abet ting and assisting him to speoulate upon the money ol the taxpayers. No doubt the Grand Jury was informed that tbe facts were as they stated in their report ; but who inform'! them f Did that Information come from the proper person or place? Before mak ing a report under oath that is calcu lated to smirch the diameter and in tegrity of public oflieials, was it not their plain duty to go to the records of the (Jounly Commissioners ana Ircas urer's nflieos, and there for themselves ascertain what tho facts in the rase were? Suppose somo worthless blather skite, who don't pay over one dollar a year in taxes, and who is a nuisance to the community, a piralo upon so ciety, a disgrace and reproach on hu manity, would inform the Grand Jury that certain puhlio otncials wore (lis honest, unfaithful, nnd were squander ing tho people's money, would that be a sufficient warrant for the Grand Jury, under ontb, to publicly report it all over the county and State, without first putting tbe witness on oalh or making tue other proper inquiries and investigations to satisiy Ihomsclvcs of the truth or falsity of tbe charge r In these days of Courts and Juries men must not be convicted of high crimes on street reports Irom practical lokers. The facts relating to the salo of the Woodward townshipdunlicatofor 1880 are as follows: We appointed as col lector Samuel P. Shotf for that year. Ho refused to act and returnod tho du plicate, giving as bis reason that be did not consider himself soholar enough lo properly porlorm tho duties. We debated tho propriety of collecting a fine from him for refusal ; but conclud ed it was rather hard to compel a good citizen to pay tho fino when be gave the reason above stated. At that time we did not anticipate any trouble in seenring a collector. We then sent tho duplicate to several oth ers who also refused, saying that no man could collect It for less than ten per cent., after making a number of unsuccessful efforts to secure a collect or, our counsel told us to exorcise our judgment and discretion so as to gel tho most money out or tbe duplicate. We then gavo the duplicato to W. 11. Patterson, Esq., of Hontzdalo, with the understanding that he would collect all he could and then return the du plicate with bulanco uncollected. Mr. Patterson collected all ho could and then returned the duplicato as per agreement. Wo then askod our counsel again what was best to bo done, he said as before wo should uso our judgment and discretion, and get the most out of tho duplicato wo could. We then tried several partioa In that township and vicinity, and none would take it at all, nor would they give us as much as it was sold for. We then sold it for the highest bid given ; and in order that tbo people may have the opportunity oi making a comparison, we will give a full statement of tho years 1879 and 1880. In the former year Thomas Henderson was collector, and Mr. Henderson is considered ono of tho most responsible mon of that township, and one of its best col lectors. Wkolo om'l of dapllooto for IS70 !, 1J Ctib sad porecntogo by IUodoron...H I, III 44 ilonderioii'i ozoDorotlos $ 479 78 This, it will be seen, was 27 per cent, ol ibo duplicate, consequently air. Henderson, in iHiU, paid into the treasury 721 percent, of the duplicato.

So it will bo seen that this duplicate for 1880 paid into tho treasury $1,345.51, about 70) por cent. This will show the taxpayor, after all this fuss, this duplicato of 1880 paid into tbe treasury within one and one-fourth per cent, as much as Henderson paid in 187!) ; aud after deducting the sum ratio ot per centaire for 1880 that was allowed in 1879, it leavcsotho onormoua sum of $.12.19 for individual speculation, and to excito tho ire and prompt some shyster to make an untruthful atutemont to the Grand Jury. Every colloclor in tbe county knows that in districts where there is a largo floating population, the most exonerations are claimed on the September lists. In 1879 there was on the September Kogistry in Woodward township $!8.5n, and on the Scptembor Reeistrv in Woodward township for 1880, $121.50, so thore would be a much greater loss on the Registry list in 1880 than in 1879. It has boon our only dosire to ad minister tho county flnancos as judi ciously and economically as possible. When inducted into the office there was $14.10 in the county treasury. Tho jail bonds, of which there were $75,0110 bearing interest at 6 percent., we havo taken up and paid $23,000 of the bonds and f unded the balance at 5 por cent., paying the interest on the coupons for 1879 and 1880, ($7,003.50.) We have purchased throe bridges and mado them free and repaired bridge U a toini oosi oi 1 1 ,i in. w ; also purchased an index tor me rrothonotary s and Register and Heoorder's cilices at a cosi of $820 ; built a stable for the uso or the Sheriff at a cost of $790.35 re paired the Jury Rooms and all county offices and tho jail ; as well as defray ing the oxpenaos of several capital cases which drew heavily upon the county iudcis. The taxpayer must recollect that in our term tlioro waa only one unseated land sale which amounted to$28,058.70. We ask any fair-minded man to com pare our management of the county fi nances with that of any other throe years administration having only one unsoatod land sale, and aoe il there was anything in our conduct which would juslily or warrant a Grant Jury act. nig uuuur uiu mi request me xiainci Attornoy to investigate our conduct in disposing to the best possiblo ad vantage ol an uncollected balance oi a township duplicate without baving any aworn testimony before tbom of tbe tacts by themselves. There are many things in connec lion with the oflleo of County Com- misaioner in which the Commissioners! must usetheirdisnretionaiid judgment, and In tbo matter ol the duplicate re ferred to, wo acted in good lailh toward the taxpayers of the county trying lo, and wo believe did, gul the most money out of it tor the benefit of tbe county under the circumstance a they ex isted. We used a discretionary power as we were advised nnd believed we had a right to do in that case. We do not publish this statement as an apol ogy or in puliation of any thing we considered wrong in our conduct as County Commissioners; but to givo tho taxpayer tho truth of the whole matter, and In vindication of what we bolieved to have been a fair, honest and economical administration of the county finances, and upon the show ing of tbe records of the office, we are willing to be judged by tho people.

Goodlandeb : 1 thought 1 would write about the storm and hur ricane that passed ovor our town (Col fax) and county on last Saturday af ternoon. A whirlwind, accompanied by rain and lightning (tho hardest rain 1 ever saw) came Irom tne sou meant, and struck ono mile from Colfax, at a placo thoy call the "Sand lung, mash ing two hooaus and two stables into kindling wood, ibo lamily ot Win nbolilen lives there; wile nun severely, and Mr. Sholdcn hurt slightly. Mr, John Sheldon, wife and baby saved, but mother-in-law hurl severely ; llobt, Wonor'a house was unroofed, and the chimney (an old-fashionod ono) was blown down. The family ran into a cave and escaped from harm. Tho Btorm thon took a turn for Colfax, and swept trees as it wont. At Colfax it took the roof off Mrs. Hill's house and kitchen, but none of tho family injured; crossed tho stroet, struck Mr. Night's barn and hencoop, and racked his house nobody burl ; passed on and took Mr. Hint's barn with horses in il did not got much hurt ; passed on, sweeping trees, and toro Mr. Robison'a (edilor of ibo Colfax papor) house all to sticks, leaving nothing but kitchen floor; Mrs. Robinson and baby hurt severely ; taking Kiimel's etablo and top oft their house, it passed to a wid ow's bouse, tearing it all to pieces ; she was not at home. Crossing the street, it demolished Mr. Slrowlor's house and stable ; passing on it took Mr. Charley Upton's house and made kindling wood out ol it, Mr. Opton and wife escaped to the cellar, liecrnssing tho street it tore Mr. Jacob Cinkerd't house to Sieces ; next it took Josepb Linkord s oubo, destroying it, and set anothor large homo on its edge. Both of tbe Cinkerd families wero away from home. Alter tearing on some more kitchens and sending wagons high in the air, it passed on east of Colfax, doing some damage to fences. On the following day (Subbath the 12th) a large hail storm passed, destroying all crops and fruit, and beating the gardens into tbe eartb. No livos lost. Dos Moines is making up money for the loss. Sa as. il. j. . Til A TS ABOUT TUE SIZE OF IT. The Lancaster Intelligencer, com menting on the apportionment by the Legislature, refers to tho increased number of judges and the unnecessary expense to the Slate, as being bad enough ; but that the class ot aspirants and tbo means used to elevntethera to the bench Is still worse. On this point it says : "This apportionment has been do- dared not mandatory, but it is often cited to justify a bad allotmont. Tho inspiring cause ol tbe worst gerry manders and of the needless increase of tbe judiciary is to satisfy rapacious politicians who want to get upon the bench, or who want to get somebody else on it to get them out of tho way to other political honors. Such con sideratious as these determine the character as well as tbe number of judges; and it will be hard to make any body believe Ibat thoy do not en ter into the jugglery over the Lebanon-Dauphin districts; the annexation of Fulton to Adams county, fifty milos away ; tho additional law judgo for -Northampton; tbe bid of Judo Hall for re election and John Cessna's scramble with him for his placo ; and many other painful features ot the prevailing hunt for judgeships. As the Timet points out, tbo present pro posed increase lo 93 judges, compared with 45, tbo numbor in the Stnto seven years ago, is too extraordinary to bavo us rooi in tno necessities oi mo case. RETURN OF A GREA T COMET. Cincinnati, O., Juno 19. Intelli gence has been received by Profossor atone, ol tbo Cincinnati Uhservatory, that l)r. Gould, of tho National Obser vatory, of the Argontino Itcpublic, has just discovered a largo comet. 11c bo liovos it to bo tho return of tho groat comot of 1807. The great comet of 18U7 excited much interest amoni; scientists and not a little alarm among tho superstitious. 1 here is no satis factory record as to Its discovery : but both Bisscl and Horschel observed its orbit and mado various calculations. Tbo diameter of its nucleus as meas ured by llcrscliol was found to be 538 miles, it was taken to bo periodic, and Bissol, the eminent Gorman astron omer calculated its return in 1,548 years. BURMSG OF THE SUSPEN SION BRIDGE A T PITTS BURGH. PiTTsm-aan, Pa, June 19. About 1 o'clock this afternoon tbe suspension bridge ovor the Allegheny river caught tire from some unknown cause and was partially destroyed. Tbe loss will roach $10,000, on which thore i no insuranco as the bridge was considered fire proof. It was an imposing struct ure and cost $300,000 when built in 1859. As the largest portion of the travel between Allegheny and this city was ovor this bridge the public will oxporionce great inconvonicnce nntil repaired. A Bio Success. "My wife had been ailing a long time with dyspepsia and nervousnoss, and was in bed two years with a complication of disorders her physicians could not cure, when 1 was led by rending a circular loft at my door to try Parker's Ginger Tonic Having been so oflon doceived by worthless mixtures, nothing but my wifo's dangorous condition could have led n to make any more experiments.

GREAT loss OF LIFE AND DE- STRUCTION OF PROPERTY. three cyclones in NoRTUWESTIUN MISSOURI KANSAS, IOWA AND MIN NESOTA VISITED BY A TOKNADO. Sr. JosEi'ii, Mo., Juno 14. Sunduy was a lerrioio day lor cyclones Hi Northwestern Missouri. Tlio atmos pheric pressure was very ireat be twuen 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and during that one short hour no loss than three "twisters" dealt death and destruction in as many paths. The first was about King City and vicinity. This cyclone started near Savannah, in Andrew oountv. Its course was north east through Flag Spring and King City. Many houses were destroyed nd not less than twulvo livos lost In Andrew county. At Flag (springs and hina City tho destruction was much greater, the loss ofliloin that vicinty being probably lllty. I lie puunc school building in King City, a large brick structure, was rated to the ground. Hundreds ol horses, cattle, hogs and sheep were killed, one man losing eighty cattle, another sixty sheep, and another seven horses. Another cyclone started four miles southwest ot Rosedule, Andrew county, and passed eastward one mile south of uosodale. iliocoursool these cyclones wus cast by northeast. Another started eight miles north ol Hupkins, in Nodaway county,ita course for twelve miles being southeast. It was one quarter ol a niilo wide, and nothing escaped destruction- in its track. Many lives have beou lost in all of these cyclones, and the destruc tion to property, which canuot now be estimated, was vury gruut. St. Louis, Juno 14. Additional ac counts of tho cyclone are to the elfuct that a very largo amount ol prpurty was destroyed, a considerable nimbor of livos were lost and a great many persons wore injured. Among those known to have been killed oulriglit are R. C. Nolson, C. K. Muynard.Miso Maynard, Mrs. (i. Roberta and child and a mun name unknown. Some thirty or more persons are known to bo injured, and many of them wi,l die. Houses wore blown away belonging to Junius Bayles, near Flag Spring; William Kbroad, near tho same placo ; Mrs. J. Bonbam, Job Fierce, L. G. Gangerfield.Isaiah Bayles, George Pur viance, Israol Wood, L. B. Garrett, R. C. Nelson, John Colt, Frank Burko, Bloomer Dungan, Dr. Dungan, Loonard Meeks, Mrs. Mclntire, Wm.

Wolf and scot os of others. Tbe great est destruction took placo at or near King City and rlag springs. Later in the evening another cy clone passed north of Savannah, in An drew county, northeast into Nodaway county. From information rcoeived it appoars tbe cloud formed in a field near tho Yt esley Chapel, about eight miles northoast of Savannah, and moved south of east. It toro down trees and fences and struck tho largo brick bouse of Nathaniel Kellogg, which it blew to piooes. Mr. Kellogg and bis family were absent Irom home at the time and thus escaped injury. the cloud then moved east, at this time being about 100 yards wido. The next building in its way was tho resi dence of Mr. J. Hoist, which was mov ed from its funndation. W. S. Wright had filty hogs killed. JohnParks'bouBC, further on, was blown away and Mrs, farka was severely miured. Mr. liel- man's house was carried away and a HauiiHt church near by torn to pieces. The residenoe of Mrs, Laughlin was blown to pieces. All kinds ot house hold goods were carried through tho air, and thoir owners have not as yet found any of thorn. The house of Mr. Linn Roberts was destroyed, as well as that of K. A. Phillips, near Fislilord. r rom there tbo storm passed on to Flag Springs and King City. The cy clone was about a quarter of a mile wide and was very violont r ully two thirds of tho bousos blown away were occupied, the families being away from borne, either at church or visiting; otherwise tho lose of life would have been frightful.
