GENERAL NEWS. Mahlon Camming*, an old citizens of Cheater county, has disappeared from hia home near Valley Store, taking with him a hired girl, lie i married and hitherto w us looked upon aa honorable. General J. Meredith Read, formerly American Charge d'Aflairea at Athena, aailed from Liverpool in the steamer Algeria for America yesterday. Gener al Read received, on the eve of hia de i parture from Athena, the official thanks of the King and Government of Oreece for hia exertions in the Greek cause. John Howarth, thirty-five years old, of Upper Darby, Delaware county, who was in hia wagon crooning the IYnnsyl vania Railroad track at Thirteenth street and l'owelton avenue, on Hatur day, was struck by a locomotive. The horse was slain, the wagon reduced to splinters and Howarth was so badly hurt that lie had to be taken to the University Hospital. Wharton Barker, the banker, who went to Russia several months ago for the purpose of examining into the feas ibility of developing the coal fields of the Rlack Sea, has returned from his expedition. He says that he found the Donetz coal basin and deposit* of iron ores in the neighborhood of Krivoi Rog fully equal to the expectations formed of them. Bristol attributes its great growth of 60 per cent, in population during the last decade to the ordinance which frees manufactures from local taxation. The Bucks Gaselte say*: "The manufac turers here are spending money con stantly iu erecting new buildings and buying improved machinery. The ad ditions made to several of the mills in each year are often equivalent in results to the erection of a new fac tory. A remarkable wedding anniversary was celebrated in Dunmore, Lancaster, the other day. It was the golden wed ding of James aod Margaret Ioiiil (?orri|Hjul<*!cp of tlio I>emoCHAT. Pittbiiuku, September 6, 1880. —The weather is hot—politics hotter; tho weather is on the cool—politics is get ting hotter ; one is u physical discom fort, tho other almost a mental malady. The lengths some people carry their political feelings seem unwarranted, for to the majority of people it does not matter much who rules, iliey must earn their living anyhow. Tho heat wo have had in Western Pennsylvania, the last two weeks, has been relieved by cool nights. The Ari zona papers give tho weather reports of the Yuma district as the warmest place in tho United States. Tho thermome ter there lias been from 10-1° to 111 0 since the 9th of July. When the sun goes down the temperature drops to about 80", hut that is too worm for com fort. President Hayes proposes to pass through Yuma 011 his return. He will get a liltlo example of the hot weather of the hereafter. If he comes home as advertised, it will be one of the most dangerous journeys in the whole United States. After he leaves tho railroad east of Tuscon he will come by stage, visiting the Tombstone and Shakespeare mining districts, coming up through Silver City, New Mexico, to Santa Fe and home by that route. From the end of the track east of Tuscon to San ta Fe is about 575 miles of staging, through the roughest and wildest coun try on the continent. Victoria, the Apache chief, is cavorting around that locality, and Rutherford had better take the very best troops he can draw from the slim garrirons of Forts Grant, or Cummings, or liayard, if he expects to camp with any security, or has much of a desire to live out his term. Ido not believe he will come home that way ; travel by railroad is much better than by any of the Star Route coaches. The latest outrage not fully icporled in that region is the murder, by Victor ia's band, of Gen. J. J. Byrne, tho chief of a locating parly of Texas Pacific en gineers, near El Paso. Victoria was on tho Mexican side where he watched for the stage going to El Paso on the American side, and killed everyliody in it. Beyond the mere fact, telegraphed by Col. (irierson from Eagle Spring, we have no further particulars. That was an amusing speech made at tho Washington City ratilication meet | mg the other day, by the old man who presided. "I have seen," said he, "every j President of the United States elected |by the people, except Washington. I I never have seen Mr. Hayes, and hope jto God 1 never will; be is a pretty good j man they say in his way, but his way is a stealing way, and I don't desire to see j hira." This little speech was received with deafening applause. Montgomery ! Blair followed in a lellisig s|mmk-Ji. Old ; Ben Butler is the best can! we have lately in the line of converts or rather j reinforcements. His speech at Wor- I coster in declining the Democratic nom ! ination for Governor, was full of good j sense, as was that in Boston, when he i first came out. On Hancock's letter I Gen. Butler snys: "If anyone desires to read his (Hancock's) mind and search out the springs of his action, let him rend that most admirable letter to Gen. Sherman, written in the confidence and under the seal of private correspond i once. It exhibits Gen. Hancock's inner ' most thought as the obedient soldier when within the line where obedience was duty, the analytical statesman who guided himself by research into the lan , gunge and principles of the Constitu i lion, evinced a determination not to re j cede one hair from its mandate, nor step one inch beyond its provisions, un der whatever stress or pressure." 'lie adds: " Every word of Hancock's letter to Sherman might be well written to-day, under the light of all that is : past, and would he equally sound after the event, ns it was prophetically said before the event." His closing paragraphs were excellent. ■ " Men of Massachusetts! you have now the golden opportunity to put the des tinies of the country under the guidance of his firm hand, strong will, mature judgment, loyalty to the Union for which he battled, and fidelity to its constitution which be baa ever made the guide of his action." I see Judge Black is being interviewed extensively by the press and gets off some of his good things. He cracks Garfield over the cope as frequently as if he had lately learned the art in Ireland, and then slips a withering sar casm at him and his followers that ia worth a whole mas* meeting to ua. The boss of all sarcastic speakers, Conkling, is to speak here next week. He has ten appointments to fill, not that he hates Garfield any less, but that he loves Koscoc more, so to air hjs care fully prepared speech he cometh. It will be the same speech repeated ten times, and in point of make up will, no doubt, be weil done, but like many mis placed adjectives liis eloquent words will fly around the head, but not come near the heart. Daddy Thurman is the man to get back at Conkling. When he shakes out that bandanna and squares himself, Conkling begins to look little, and by the time he is through you will have to look under the desk to see the Senator from New York. There was nothing so enjoyable to a Democrat in the Senate galleries, at Washington, the last four years, as Thurman's chase after Conkling. The last time Thurman came home I happened on the cars with him, and in talking the matter over he said : • You will see the scuttle in the Senate some of these days between Wallace and Conkling tbit ever you heard of. They are both walking around each other now like the two fighting men of a neighborhood, afraid to tackle each other, but they will get at it some of these days." What a hippodrome it would make to have Daddy Thurman follow Conk aw • MiW 7 l That Recent Iron Ore Contract—The Truth or It. Mkhmkk. Editor* :—On Docomlior t>, 1805, Mono* Thompson conveyed to J. M. McCoy and .lame* 11. Linn, emu posing tho Arm of McCoy and Linn, of tho Mllosburg Iron Works, ail th iron oro in a tract of land of about ono thousand acres, situate in J'atton township, Centra county, reserving a royalty of 25 cents per ton, to lie paid to him as the oro was mined arid taken away. Until recent ly nothing was done to develop this terri tory and no oro, except a few hundred tons has been mined and taken therefrom. Last winter during the late boom in Iron tho representatives of the estates of John M. McCoy and James 11. Linn, now both deceased, for the purpose of realising from the large de|>osits of iron ore in these lands, ojiened correspondence with several large iron and steel manufacturing com panies, which resulted in bringing the representatives of tho Cambria Iron Com pany and of the Edgar Thompson Steel Company, to this territory for examina tion. To these examinations and negotia tions Moses Thompson was invited, and his co-operation solicited and obtained. Tho negotiations on the first day of July last resulted in the owners of tho iron ore and royalty granting to the Edgar Thomp son Steel Company (Limited) until the first day of January, 1881, an option to lease tho iron oro on about 8(J0 acres, including what is known as the " Itiver Hill Ore ITank,'' at a royalty of 60 cents per ton, or to purchase the iron ore in fee at the prico or sum of $90,000, one-half to Moses Thompson and one-half to tho rep resentatives of J. M. McCoy and James 11. Linn. Tho Edgar Thompson Steel Company at once went to work to ascer tain' tho extent of the iron ore and its quality for the manufacture of Bessemer steel. Tho result of the tests, both as to i quantity and quality, were so satisfactory that instead of taking until January I, 18gl, to exercise their option tho repre sentatives of the Edgar Thompson Steel Company came hero loi-t week, and on the 1 2catedly where his party was in the i trict, then composed of Clinton and Lycoming counties, nominated him for the House of Representatives. James Chatham, of I,ock Haven, was the lie publican nominee for re election. The previous year Mr. Chatham had carried the district by 400 majority. This Col. Noye* not only reversed but added i 1,200 to it, really changing his district i 1,600 votes. His term, for which he j made such a gallant fight, wa* filled ! with such honest fidelity to his section and the Htatc that he wa* re-elected. I In 1864, observing the two consecutive ! term rule, he was not a candidate. In | 1868 he was a Presidential elector on the Democratic ticket. In 1870 his his Legislative district, which had been by the apportionment changed to em ; brßce Clinton, Cameron and McKean, again nominated him for the Legisla ture. Cameron was a Republican coun ty and gave Schoffeld, the Republican : candidate for Congres* at the same : election, 45 majority, while it gave Noy* 348 Democratic majority, and he , was elected. In 1871 his district was again changed to comprise Clinton, Ly coming and .Sullivan, and formed what was called a double distrct, that ia a i district sending two members. Colonel ■ Noye# waa again nominated, and. with ! Colonel Wilson, of Jersey Shore, defeat ed P. I). I'.rickc-r, of that place, and 1). jT. Iluckle, of Sullivan county. In 1872 he was renominated and for the i fifth time chosen to represent his dis trict in the legislature. Ho great had his popularity becoino from hi# long service in the Legislature that in 1875, I in the Democratic Slate C-onrention at I Erie, lie was one of the moat prominent i candidates for Governor, and after a warm contest of many ballotings a com ; promise wa* finally made by nominating Judge Pershing. In 1877 he waa made the nominee for State Treasurer by the convention held at Harriaburg and waa elected. Col. Noye* took possession of the treasury May 6, 1878, succeeding treasurer ltawle, and discharged the duties devolving upon him with fidelity during hi* term, which closed May 3, 1880. He ha* since given attention to his private business. • 11 ----- Republican lirlhery in Maine. At a temperance gathering in Augus ta, Maine, on la*t Thursday evening, Mr. Joshua Nve, the gentleman who is run ning a* the Prohibition candidate for governor, filling the gap caused by the resignation of (higood, made a speech in which he said that Osgood was either bribed or intimidated, for hi* change of opinion was aa sudden a* U wa* mark ed. There cannot be much doubt of the nature of the inAuenoe which prompted Osgood to resign, after read ing the foilowipg statement made by Mr. Nye at the meeting referred to above. Mr. Nye aaid that on Monday morn ing last he was sent for and urged to come with all possible haste to ilaogor by a trading Republican politician qf that city. He went, taking the 2a. train, reaching Bangor about 6 o'clock. He aaid he was met by the politician re ferred to at the depot with a close car riage, the politician remarking that if im*W naf do far them fo be tern. He then Srooeeded to business, at.d told Mr. ye that if he would attend the so called temperance meeting, at Old Or chard. Wednesday, and withdraw from the field as a prohibitory candidate he might have aav qfiee he war ptreued la telect. In fact Mr. Nye waa asked by this corrupt scoundrel to name his price. Nye replied: "There is not money enough in the State of Maine nor offi ces enough in the country to buy me." The candid manner in whictr YKk story .wis told.

PHILADELPHIA, August 21, 1880. To the ('hailman and Member/ of the never,it Republican County OmimUteee of J'enn/yi van ia: GENTLEMEN : It has been urged upon me by many person* in whose judgment j 1 have great confidence, that the zeal and excitement of our present canvas* ! is growing to *ucb an extent that we should conduct it somewhat after the : fashion of that of 1840. Instead, how ever, of the Log Cabin, it has beeu #ug gested that a Canal Boat should be fre quently and extensively used. 1 can not present thi* view better than to - quote the language contained in a let ter of advice recently received from a gentleman of high character and large experience. 1 shall, therefore, take the liberty of quoting largely there from: "FIRST Don't forget the CA\m BOA/. "SECOND —In all the torch-light pro cession* have a large transparency with Gaifieid on one side trousers rolled up , driving on the tow path, with an inscrip tion underneath, 'GAKFIELB EDUCATING HIMSELF,' and on the other side, Han cock in his handsome uniform with the inscription, 'HANCOCK BEING EDUCATED BV UNCLE HAM* ; the transparency to be kept turning as the procession moves, | so that all spectators may see the con ; trast. Most of the laboring men of the I country vote through their eyes ! 1 say i this a* one who has been in contact with ! the masses for forty years. "Tinai). Get up rousing mass meet ! ings. Have singing a* the procession j moves and not at the stands or in j the hails merely, and make provisions ; lor the attendance of the women snd j children. The TOW PATH and IONG book will do more to elect Garfield than all the elaborate argumentation of great j orators at large meetings. Everybody ; can bear a song and everybody can see a canal boat and a pair of mules, snd it US EVEKVBoIir THAT IS TO BE REACHED if we are to win. Let our local eommit > tees throughout the State be instructed Ito arrange mass meetings, including ; these features." 1 give these suggestions for whatever they may be worth. You will he able j to understand much belter than I the j temper and feeling of your own people. Wherever you think that sucli action s | that indicated would do good you will, I of course, adopt the suggestions, other | wise not. Allow me to make one other sugges j lion. We have a reasonable expect a ; lion that our friends will triumph st the election in Maine, which is to 1-c held on Monday, September 13, 1880. j Undoubtedly we will be able to know | the result in all parts of the State ty | Tuesday afternoon, and if it should be | favorable to us it would be well to have | all our clubs and organixations turn out , on Tuesday night, with music, banners i and torches, and celebrate the victor) ! • proper way.

DEAB SIR: YOU certainly appreciate I the importance of success to our party , at the coming election, and you further I understand that an indispensable factor [in securing success is money. Tbe ex- I pense* of this Committee are hourly . increasing; the demand for ducunient* is greater than ever known before in the history of political campaigns; calls are made upon us every day for money to pay taxes, naturalisations, and many other legitimate expenses, necessary for the successful management of the can vass. If vottcan make us a contribu tion, to the extent of 2 per cent, of your salary, it will materially aid us in effecting the result we so ardently de sire. I need hardly add that a prompt response is necessary, in order to make tbe contribution more effective. Yours truly, JOHN CESSNA, Chairman. laM at Ken.

The Vera Cru* waa one of the strongest ships in the world, and valued at #200,000. A tern ble storm prevailed at tbe time, and the waves are described aa running fifty feet high. They broke over the ship one after another, and although tbe most desperate efforts were made with a donkey engine and bucket* to bail the water from the ship, it gained the mastery and the good ship sank to risa no more.
