i —"Old Frenchy," one of the local edi
tors of the Ilepublican Morning .Veirs, very
> much to the disgust of our sensible business
• men of all political parties, has been med
dling with a private business transaction,
• seeking to givo it a political significance.
In the issues of that newspaper of last
• Saturday and Monday, (referring to tho
sale of tho McCoy & Linn ore prop
i erty in which the Messrs. Thompsons, of
[ Centre Furnace, owners of a royalty in tho
• ore of twenty-five cents a ton, joined the
• other parties to tho sale), he alludes to a
conversation wijh the purchasers which
> did not occur as detailed by him, and ex
i ists only in his desire to pervert and torturo
> a joke. The question was asked tho pur
> chaser—a Republican—if bo did not think
the parties making the sale should support
r Garfield, a protection candidate for Presi
, dent, when he (evidently bored) indiffer
' ently replied, "Yes." To this, the Messrs.
Thompsons, life-long Republicans and iron
masters, who read and think for themselves,
> shook their heads, as if to say "no Cobden
- Club in ours."
I —Mr. J. R. Van Ormer, son of our friend
■ J. N. Van Ormer, of Spring township, is
- canvassing Centre county for subscriptions
to Forney's Life of Hancock, published by
, Hubbard of Philadelphia. This work' is
i the best campaign life of Hancock that
i bas been written by any one, andjs rnoet-
ing with an extensive sale. It is an at
. tractive and interesting work and should
be found in every Democratic household
, in the county. We trust that our young
friend will be very successful in his efforts
I to obtain subscribers. He is also the agent
i for the sale of General Brisbfr's life of
, Garfield. Wo have not had an opportuni
ty to examine this work, but hear It spok
en of as an interesting and well written
biography.
TUB LAHT ENEMY, DEATH—Ex-Sher
iff Richard Conloy, one of the most re
spected citizens of this county, expired ut
his home in Bennor township, last Friday
afternoon. For several yearß ho has suf
fered from a cancer which appeared on his
nock. About a year ago hopes were enter
tained that he wan cured. But this insid
ious disease, the rival of consumption in
its ravages upon the people of our country,
again appeared, and soon numbered Mr.
Conloy among its many victims.
The deceased was well known and uni
versally respected. In 1803 ho was elected
sheriff of this county by a vote of 3,075
ugainst 2,079 cast for his opponent, James
Dunlap, also a gentleman of great popu
larity. It is unnecessary to sny that ho
fulfilled the duties of that position in the
most fuithful and satisfactory manner.
Mr. Conley was twico married, his second
wife, a sister of our venerable follow citi
zen, Samuel Irvin, Esq., surviving. Tw<ffi
children—a son and a daughter, who have
attained the age of maturity—are also still
living. Ho was a devoted and consistent
member of the Presbyterian church, and
was ever active in promulgating tho Chris
tian faith among his neighbors and friends.
His life was a living ensamplo of his pro
fession. Ho was seventy-one years of age.
On Sunday morning last tho llnal obse
quies were performed, and tho solemn cor
tege accompanied his remains to the ceme
tery at Jacksonville, this county. Wo
believe that Rev. W. O. Wright, of
Milesburg, was the officiating clergyman.
DEATH or Con. AMOS C. NOTES. —On
.Saturday morning last u telegram was re
ceived at ltellcfonto announcing the death j
of Col. Amos C. Noyes, of Clinton county. I
Tho sad news was soon current in all part- !
of tho town, and produced a profound sen
sation among the many friends and ac
quaintances of tho deceased gentleman. On
Thursday night of last week he was strick
en with paralysis, and lingered until some
time during the succeeding night, when he
found relief only in death. Probably
within the limits of Pennsylvania no man
ofJadtei known, more highly esteemed,
( friends than Amos C'/Tfodovoted personal
better express our estimate of his cbnrSAWt
I than to use the words of the Philadelphia
TV tntti "He <va* tho living embodi
, inent of public nnd private honesty, of
, fidelity to friendships and of generous affec
( lion to all who came within its offices.
No man could las more beloved by his
neighbors than was Col. Noyes, aiid'none
; better merited the devotion of those who
knew him beat. ' The funeral of Col. Noyes
I j took place at his residence at West port,
| Clinton county, on Tuesday afternoon, and
j an immense concourse of friends from all
I parts of the State assembled there on that
day to pay their tribute of respect and
| affection to his memory. In another col
umn will be found a -ketch of the business
and public career of this excellent man.
—Wo learned, on Monday last, with *-
i tremo sorrow of the death of ex-Sheriff
j Perks, of Philipsburg. Sheriff lVrfc* was
; about 58 years of ago, and it seems no
; time since we saw him in our town, appa
rently in good health, and with the pros
pect of many years before him. He was,
we believe, a native of Clearfield county,
and in that county served one full term of
. three years as sheriff. He was born in the
! humbler walks of life, but by tho energy
of bis character raised himself in manhood
to n high position in the estimation of his
friends and neighbors. He was for many
, y"*r* engaged in tho lumber business and
had acquired a considerable fortune. He
afterwards settled in Philipsburg and en
tered extensively into tho grain business in
connection with tho steam mill at that
place, but unfortunately reverses came
upon him and ho was obliged after a time
; to abandon his active business pursuits,
j .Sheriff Perks was a m*n of kindly heart
i and genial disposition, and had many
j friends, who sincerely mourn his death.
He was buried on Tuesday.
—The funeral which proceeded from the
depot at this place to the Catholic cemetery
on the arrival of the Snow Shoo train last
Tuesday morning was that of Mr. William
Cone, who died on Sunday at his home at
Beech Creek trestle, near Snow Shoe. For
the past twenty years he has been in the
, employ of the B. Sc. S. 8. railroad. He was
about seventy years of age and much re
-1 spected.

Hp"ll C"HTepoOll*"Dr 111 111# rtKIHt DSNUCeaf
To day haii developed for the large ma
jority of the member* of Company 11, the
first actual experience they have had a*
member* of the Pennsylvania National
Guard. While all tbi* pageantry lack* the
actual solemnity and seriousness of imper
ative duty, the strict regard for form* and
the rigid diclplino impartially enforced ,
carry with them many restriction*. 'I ho j
State i* certainly luvih in iU care for the
comfort and convenience of the men whom j
she will depend upon to throttle domestic ;
insurrection and protect inviolate her in- j
visible border*. The tents furnished af- j
ford ample accommodation for four men
and these, with a liberal supply of gum
and woolen blankets, enable us to make our
quarter* not only habitable but almost
luxurious. As the iinpreunible Van Pelt
expressed it after we had completed our
arrangements, " we'll have better beds
here than we have at homo." The ride
out was uneventful, the company coming j
directly through on the same car in which j
they embarked at Bellefonte. The Penn
sylvania Kuilroad came in for many com
plimentary remarks in consequence of the j
elegant car they placed at our disposal. j
It was finely upholstered and lighted by
three chandeliers und was altogether the j
most elegant of any in the large train j
which brought the sth Regiment to camp, j
Your correspondent was ushered at once 1
into the arena of military discipline by be
ing placed on guard at the rear end of the j
car. This was far from unpleasant until
the boys made an attack in force upon
their plethoric haversacks, and then lie
experienced the first inconvenience of his
j five year* term of service. Although
• almost famished, military etiquette forbade
j o indecorous as eating, arid
j Und it not been for the kindness of the
| corporal of the guard, who generously
relieved me, the pangs of a most acute
hunger would just have run riot with my
! internal anatomy, until in the regular or
| der of- military procedure 1 was returned
Ito the ranks. The darkness of the
j night prevented the men froin viewing
i the most magnificent panorama of moun
j tain scenery in the State, as well as
lii k'il't triumph of engineer
| iii.. .1., i n , ..„ v w j,,. re j n America.
I have passed over these .... •_
i -v nin* when
Ihe lofty peaks of this spur of the An*
j ghenies were bathed in the lambent light
| of a mellow moon, and the impression was
I one that time can never efface. All that
i* majestic and imposing in mountain
1 scenery is encompas'ed within the ride
I from Tyrone to Pittsburg, while one i* lost
i in wonder and awe at the genius which
' j climbed these heights and bound their
1 j lofty brows with bands of iron. Last
j night all was wrapped in an impenetrable
I gloom which was only relieved by the
j lurid glare of the mighty forge* at Johns
, i town, and the innumerable cok kilns
| which dot this road with line* of fire. As
j this was the initial military baptism of the
| greater portion of the company, the men
j were naturally boisterous and many and
j wild were the scenes enacted between
i Bellefonte ami ilradJock. Cam liurnside
as a musical director, a In Max Mar
. " txek, and led cmbryotic Briguoli* and
Caatlefi in boisterous song. The burden of
tlie refrain apjiean'd to be an arraignment
of Mote* for being absent from the post of
duty "when the light went out." There
was no sleep for the weary eyes, and the
imprecations, whichever and anon burden
ed the smoke ladened atmosphere of the
car were sulphurous in their intensity.
But they were of no avail, and the rioters
defiantly refused to take up their quarters
in the tropical country to which they were
verbally consigned every few minutes.
We arrived at our destination about two
o'clock in the morning but remained in
the car until five, when the entire regi
ment disembarked and took up its
march to the ground selected for our
location. Hear we found the 10th and
18th regiments and K napp's battery already
encamped. The hours of the 'inorning
were spent in putting our quarters in sha|>e,
and now we present an appearance second
to none upon the Held. Our camp is |o
rated upon rising country bordering on a
beautiful grove, and our white tent* facing
broad, cloan streets have a picturesque cf
feet with their rich back ground of dark
green. The other regirients composing
the different brigades are arriving rapidly
and are getting promptly into position.
About three thousand are here now, and
by to-morrow morning ail will be on hand
and then will commence the serious work
which is before us. That this will be no
child's play will lie apparent when I tell
you that reveille sounds at sunrise. Roll
call at 6.30, breakfast at f1.30, sick call 7.3rt.
guard mounting 8.80, company drill ii.SO
to 11.30, dinner 12 M., battalion drill 2 to
8.80, dress parade 6 o'clock, P. M., supper
at 6, retreat at sunset, tatoo 0 o'clock,
and taps and light* out 10 o'clock.
This you will perceive pretty effectually
disposes of the working hour* of the day
ana leave* little time for the lighter pleas
ures of the camp. It rained this morning
for a few moments, Hit is now clear ana
♦warm and the weather gives every indica
tion of being propitious. All our local
chieftain* are here and are active in the
affairs of the encampment. Heaver has
his headquarters just in the rcM of our
regiment and can be constantly teen, swing
