The Harrisburg Patriot think.s that Oliver will readily secure the Bepubli cin nomination and that the talk about his net being the candidate of the fam ily is all " gammon " ami manufactur ed te threw dust in the eyes of the inno cents. The Patriot is quite likely right in its conclusions. We knew no geed reason why Tin: family should net sus tain Oliver, who has exhibited se much strength of his own and who would be as agreeable an associate in the Senate te Mr. Den Cameren as he is likely te get. He will net outshine him in ability nor incline te pull against him. That Oliver will lie chosen is exceed ingly probable. He has stolen Glew's two supporters m Allegheny and new comes with that important delegation solid for him. Against him is arrayed no geed management, and all he has te face, with (I row beaten as he certainly is, is the general sentiment of the state that he is net a man of the stature for the place. And that .sentiment is net likely le hurt him much in the Legisla ture. That Mr. Oliver is the candidate f the Camereirs does net trouble us who are outside the Kepublican party, and who need net be displc:iscd that it cheeses te put itself in such keeping. It exposes itself te our contempt thereby, it is true; but we can feel contempt for it with as much composure as the party members can endure it : and that degree of composure could scarcely be exceeded. Fer many jears the Republican party has been sat upon by these men and no one of ability has Veil able te raise his head in it. When this contest comes a ragged skirmisher, like (J row, is the most respectable representative found te represent the disgusted sentiment of the party. There, can hardly be a doubt that if Republican opinion could be had, very little of it would be found behind this family. Bui the party has se long been a passive prey in the spoiler's hands that it cannot summon the energy needed te shake itself free. Who could for a mo ment imagine the Democratic party of lVnnsk aiiia under such domination '! ';t a Commercial Venture. Mr. Oliver says he has ' come te stay " and " thai he never failed yet iu any thing he undertook and he does net pro pre pro pest te fail in his effort te reach the Sen ate." Mr. Oliver iu making these decla rations does net. see any impropriety in them, manifestly, else he would net make them; jci I hey demonstrate of themselves his total uiilitiiess for the high office he .seeks. Mr. Oliver taken, commercial view of his undertaking, and it is iu every sense a commercial venture. But the choice of a. senator should net have any thing of a commercial nature, connected with it. It is wrong te buy the votes that Mr. Oliver will need te buy te be chosen. It is wrong for Mr. Oliver even to'selicifc the votes of the people's repre sentatives. The seuatership is netan eHiee te be- secured by superior industry, energy, manipulation and cash, as a bu siness aim may be pursued. It is the duty of the Legislature le select (he best man the state has, te represent it in the national councils. And 1 hey should net take this man's estimate of his ability, but should be governed by their own judgment and the opinion of the people. The fact thai a candidate sounds his own praises ought le prevent his selection. Mr. Oliver does net entertain these ideas. He could net be persuaded of theirseundness. Neither could the men whesustatn him : nor these who will vote for him. Such pure rep resentation of the popular will ami judg ment, perhaps, will never be had again from our representatives. We used te have it iu the early days of the republic ; when Mr. Oliver's appearance before a Legislature with a declaration that he means te b ectcd and never failed in his undertakings would nave secured him the supreme contempt of which it is eminently worthy. Still Bothering. These Reading railroad people kiep themselves quite busy new going le see the judge. Evidently Mr. (lewen's op ponents don't knew when they are whip ped ; and just as evidently they are net acting in the interest of the stockholders for whom they pretend te care se much. Messrs. McC'alment had better find some one. te watch their present agents, who seem te lie intent en blocking the deferred bend plan, which is universally conceded te be a geed thing for the stockholders if it can be tlealed ; and if it can't be, surely they are net hurt by making the effort. The petition new presented te .Judge McKennan com plains that the money required te be put upas a guarantee that all the bends would be taken by outside parties which the stockholders did net take, has net been put up, and great harm thereby it is declared will come te the stockholders. This anxiety te discredit Mr. Gewen's statement thai the money forfeit has been de'tesited smacks much mere of a desire te damage the Beading com pany and lower the price of its stock for the benefit of these who have sold without having it, than of a purpose te protect the company. It is an attempt te step the negotiation of these bends, when it is te the stockholders' interest that the negotiations shall be successful ; because it will secure te them their stock, which is new threatened with ex tinction by foreclosure of the mortgages. Accekdixg te the'repert of the state treasurer, as audited by the auditor gen eral, there was due the treasury en Nev. 30, 1880, 4'in various banks ami deposi tories" SI ,783,73 i.S'J. At the same time the treasurer, auditor general and gov ernor unite in reporting an apparent de ficiency at the closeef the yearef $1,243, 000, and at one time during the year there had been a deficit of .',431,000, due mostly te schools, ienitenliaries and charitable institutions. That is te say, while these suffered from a Jack of money in the general fund te ji.iy tin; appropriations voted them, banks and ether depositories were enjoying the use of $1,783,755.80 of the slate's menejs in the sinking fund. If the treasurer was getting any profit from this he was vio lating the law ; if the banks were having the use of it for nothing, what a fine thing they had of it, while the schools and charitable institutions suffered. It is calculated that the school districts alone lest $50,000 last year by this state of affairs. Surely such adeiangement should never exist under a well regulated financial system, and the first thing the Legislature ought te de is te readjust this, se that hereafter our public insti tutions de net languish for funds or be driven te discounts en their state war rants while " banks and ether deposito ries '" are using and enjoying $1,7.S3.755. 80 of the state funds.

Bridgeport, Montgomery county. was struck by an en gine that backet upon him unawares, and cut te pieces.

KEAUIM.'S KliVIVAL. Tlie McCaiments Make u Xew Move Against Veuen. McCaimeut Brethers have prepared, through their counsel, a petition which was I tiled yesterday in the United States circuit court asking .Juuge Jiclvennan te revoke the order sanctioning the issue of deferred bends by the Philadelphia & Reading rail road and enjoining all further proceedings iimlpv if. In tlift.vtetitimi tint Letiihm linn j h . tilllt tl v i10i(i 175.0,4 sliares valued at $3,799,200. aud bends exceeding .- t .. .. . .' . . . . 000.000, md have, held such stocks for ever thirty years. They then refer te the petition granted last November iu favor of the $080,000 of deferred income bends and te the prospectus in which these bends were advertised for sale. They continue as fellows : Your jietitieners are informed and be lieve that a similar prospectus was issued iu Louden. They have applied te the re ceivers te ascertain whether the i;20,058, 000 which was te be deposited as a guaran tee, had been deposited with them. The receivers have net informed them of any such payment or deposit. Ne such deposit was made before the prospectus was issued aud the jietitieners de net believe it has yet been made, although it was 011 condition that it should bi; made iu Philadelphia and subject te their control, that the receivers consented te the presentation of the peti tion. It is net believed that the .scheme will he advantageous. On the (Ith of De cember the company's liabilities amount ed te $111,042,49;; KG. but besides this there are ether liabilities consisting of guarantees of the bends of the leased lines. Thus, 011 the Sitequchanna canal there was a rental of $183,453.01, while the receipts being only 8,072.18, there was a net less of $175,381.40 and there arc many such liabilities involving millions of dollars. "Your petitioners, believing that Un said order is unjust te the rights : your petitioners and the ether stockholders ; that it is unwise and inexpedient, in view of the necessity for an adjusiment of the company's affairs, and that the further attempt en thu part of Mr. Gewen te carry through the scheme will be attended with mischievous result te all parties concerned and that the proposed issue is illegal and invalid, resjiectfiilly pray : ' First That an order ba at once made revoking the decree made by the court aud have set out that in the meantime Mr. Gewen and all ether persons connected with the said railroad company, as well as the receivers, iu these actions hi ordered and enjoined te abstain from any further action in the negotatien or consummation of the said scheme for the issuing of the $34,000,000 of deferred bends. Second, That if the court shall be of opinion that the scheme should either 111 whole or iu part be carried out, then the officers of the company and the receivers shall be directed te refrain from the issue of any such instruments until the form of the same shall be settled by this court upon notice te your petitioners and ethers interested, and also until the de posit te the credit of the leccivers has been made ofthe $2O,05S,000 provided te be deposited as a guarantee that .the scheme shall be carried into effect and con summated." It is said that an important cablegram was received at the Reading railroad office yesterday, but the officials refused te give it out. One of them stated that as far as he heard from it was believed that the de ferred bend scheme was an assured suc cess. Poultry Houses. The style aud finish of the buildings in tended for poultry depend much en the purse and taste ofthe owner. Comfert of the occupants should net be sacrificed, for without being comfortable the hens can not long remain in profit. Avoid low or damp localities, as this gives reup, or brings en a low state of health, which invites diseases, or results in leg weak ness and emaciated birds, the progeny of which will be victims of the gapes, pip and similar disease. The location should be en dry upland, gravelly soil, and well drained. Fowls can endiiic much cold without, serious injury, providing it be dry. The lloer should net be of brick or cemented, but if a solid flooring be required, it may be paved with cobble stones, deeply imbedded in gravel, and loose gravel or sand scattered ever the surface, which can be removed once or twice a year and replaced with fresh. Over this air-slaked lime may be scattered lib erally, or weed ashes. If coal ashes be supplied, place them in a box in one cor ner of the room. The box should be tleep, that the fowls may net scratch them out ever the lloer. Fowls, when confined, are fend of scratching and picking among coal ashes. In them they find something that assists iu the digestion of their feed, while also finding employment. The building should net be high or lefty unless two-story. Eight feet at the peak is sufficient for all ordinary purposes, and should gradually slope down at the back or north end te about lour feci. Here should be the roosts. The southern por tion should be pcihapfr about five feet erect, and the glass windows inclined from this this te meet the rafters at the peak. This plan gives the sun rays directly en the ground lloer.and en sunny days creates a great degree of warmth, if the building be made air-tight, or as nearly as can be with matched or battened beards, or what is still better, lathed and plastered. This warmth will be retained well throughout the night. The advantage of low roosts, close te the reef, is obvious. It is geed for heavy breeds as well as light. Directly beneath the roosting poles, should be a. level scaffolding of smooth beards, te catch the droppings, and se close te it that the fowls may step from the roost thereon, and with a short flight alight en the ground. This scaffold should have firm support underneath, or extend from cleats 011 the sides of the build ing, arranged for this purpose. It should be well covered with ai -slaked lime, which holds and absorbs the moisture aud odor of the droppings. In this manner they may be readily and easily removed each week, by scraping off into an empty barrel, and conveyed either teHhe com posed heap or applied directly te the soil. This roosting arrangement is admir able for the large-combed varieties. The nearness te the reef con fines the heat that escapes from the body, aud prevents freezing in the severest wea ther. At the same time, it is well adapt ed for the heavy birds. Disfigured feet and shanks are always uusightlv. and sneuld lie guarded against as much as possible, lhc Ileudans, tee, are a heavy breed Heavy and light breeds should net I... ..... be congregated together together iu large numbers, it possible te avoid it. The nest, boxes should be arranged under the sea Held, aud be somewhat shaded, its fowls like their places of laying quiet and retired. Their roosts, tee, arc better pro tected from the full glare of the light ; but this is net important, astheysien be come accustomed te and rather enjoy it, but at first it disturbs them a little.

Plenty of our farmers were "snow hound,"' but we had no Whittierte put the fact into rhythm, and were compelled t shove! their way out.

There are remarkably few public .sales advertised as yet. The public health is fjoe.1 : fewjr cases of sickness reported than usual.

Henry AYerst. jr., merchant at Springville, had two hoi scs stolen from his stable en Sunday night. The thieves also took two saddles and two bridles with them, but nothing el.se wxs missing. li is the supposition that they were only taken te enable some one te getouter the neigh borhood, as there were a couple of suspi cious characters iu this vicinity for a cou ple of days who are new missing. It is supposed they are the guilty parties. On Friday evening Miss Clara Filch, teacher of Springville school, gave a school entertainment which was partici pated in by her scholars only. It proved a grand success, aud showed that home talent under such able mana;emciit coelif net fail te be appreciated. The exer cises consisted of recitations, dialogues. &c. The following was the pregramme : Music ; opening address ; dialogues, "Cheree of Trades," ".May Queen Cele bration;" recitation, "Grandmothers;" dialogue, "Mrs. McLackland's Economy ;" recitation, "Little Bemiie;" dialogue, " The Old and New, in 2 acts;" winding up with a laughable farce, entitled "The Train te Manre." The audience were se well pleased that they have requested a reproduction, which will take place in a. few weeks. 1IAKT 1 TK.MS. Our Kegular Ueorgetewn Letter. Since the late cold weather Irish Hitatees are being reported Trezen in places where they were never known te freeze before. Mr. II. A. McFadden is home en a visit, and reports that at Danville, Va., where he last worked, there has been mere snow this winter than the old inhabitants ever knew before. Mr. McFadden lias for ever ten years been working for the Keystone bridge company. On account of the hard winter the Gap nickel mines have been cemjiellcd te shorten their force of farm hands, and of course the men who are discharged will have a severe winter of it. for their wages were net such as would allow them te get much ahead, especially these who have families. Tobacco quiet ; no word of any buyers in this neighborhood as yet, aud in a short time the entire crop will lie ready for tbe county market. " Mrs. Partington," whose lecture was postponed from the 4th te the 8th inst., delivered a tenqierance address in the M. E. church 011 the latter date. She is from Maine and speaks fearlessly. The Tem perance element was well represented ; the church membership net se largely. Seme cider guzzlers from this township and Colerain, who disturbed the meetiug, de net deserve the consideration which their respectable family connections se cure for them.. Hchry Girviu, one of our energetic farmers, net; having much te de about the farm, concluded a few days age te go into the weeds and cut some trees for pests and rails; he, accordingly put his axe iu order and went te work. After tramping areuml a fine chestnut and securing a geed stand ing place he proceeded te cut it down. The day bcinsr cool and Henry's arms being strong, the tree seen fell. Bat where did it go? When Henry looked around he saw the stump but no sign of the tree ex cepting the top branches standing out of the snow like some stunted growth of bushes, the body of the tree was complete ly covered, and buried beneath the snow. With a sigh r "satisfaction" Henry wended lus way homeward and spent the rest of the day beside the kitchen tire. Keal Kutate Sale.
