TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 11, 13B1.
The Family's Senators.
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.

KEAUIM.'S KliVIVAL.

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

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

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.

The snow would be a geed item for your
itemizcr if it it were mere local and less
universal. Our ''eldest inhabitants " re
member when we had mere snow, better
sleiirliinir, colder weather and all that sort
e' thing (our generation never can equal
theirs), but they admit that it is " quite a
snow." In many places our reads are
drifted full te the tops of the fences, and
the fields are turned into highways and
net infrequently we hear of some unfortu
nate swain, who has kept soine
farmer's daughter awake away into
the " wee sma' hours," getting elT the
traek in some large held and becoming be
wildered and lest in the trackless acres
and darkness, a situation that any who
have filled it can appreciate.
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. Our peer little
engine en the narrow-gauge railroad re
fused te de duly, and the trains, therefore,
did net run with their accustomed irregu
larity. Our liit tobacco sales were made last
week iu Fulton township, te Mr. Shirk,
Edward Woodward receiving 20, 10, 8 ami

Dersey. 20, (5, :J ; Jonas Eby, 22, 10, 3. A
few of the growers are done stripping and
the rest are all busy and are getting some

Crumhaugh, who is the instructor
reviewed the work of the former meet
ing and put the members through
an active "quiz," before proceeding with
the subject of the assimilation of feed, and

very clearly the function of the laeteals
connecting the digestive canal with the
system of the circulation. He also dis
cussed the injurious eflects of alcohol and
ether stimulants and narcotics of various
kinds. Thu class is doing geed practical

te Gen. Hancock, expressing her regret at
his defeat, and asking him for bis auto

fore Christmas she forwarded some holiday
cards te Gen. Hancock. The gallant gei .

them en the mantel in our parlor. We
shall preserve them as part of our treas

Petty thieving has been much iu viuc
for the past month.
There are remarkably few public .sales
advertised as yet.
The public health is fjoe.1 : fewjr cases
of sickness reported than usual.
The politicians are getting ready for the
township elections; candidates are abun
dant. Many springs and wells are exhausted
aud some families have te haul water for a

The Hellew school house in Leacock

3lr. 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.

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.
