W————— A —— fs Cigarette Smokers, The insane department of the Belle yue Hospital, New York, now harbors the latest victim to the cigarette habit. He reached the record of six packs a day and his mind succumbed. The re. velations made by physicians support the statement made by an experienced professor at the University of Penn. sylvania, that he can pick out the in. veterate cigarette smokers in every class before the end of sophomore year, Let Chairman | Votes | { : The victory of Tuesday in this county | {can be explained by two words: Har. {mony and dissatisfaction—harmony among Demoerats on the county ticket {accounts for our splendid majority. | ] Dissatisfaction among Republicans tells | the story of their utter discomfiture. The Democrats were united and hI Af monious because the candidates on the ticket were clean, honorable and uno. jectionable, Schaeffer has a grand record as an competent and accurate. He has kept the Cleveland maximum, “a public of. fice is a public trust.” Meyer has candueted the pleas of the commonwealth with great ability, in. dustry and fidelity. He has made an unsulled record as District Attorney. Riley isa new man, but the people believed him as he is an upright, cour. ageous and competent man for the of. fice of jadge. The Democrats want a man for that office who has a mind of hisown, and is not afraid to use it. With such candidates Democrats were willing and ready to do their full duty. The dirty flings and falsehoods of Fei. dler only fired their zeal and brought thea to the polls, To assail and lie about such candidates, whose public and private character is beyond re. proach, was simply nonsense. Let Feidler take notice that missepresenta. tion, falsehood, slander and dirty polis tics about reputable and honorable peo- ple, candidates or not, don’t make votes in this county.

Dem., had a majority of the popular vote. From July 9, 1848, to July 2, 1848, a period of 17 days, Pennsylvania was without a Governor, Francis R. Shunk having resigned on the former date and his successor, Wm. F. John. son, was not elected to office until the later date. This is one proof at least that the saying, “few die and none resign,” is not true, It will thus be seen that the grand old Keystone origi. nally belonged to the Democratic party by right of peacable possession for over fifty years, and no evidence appearing on record that any sale or transfer has At McKean, | Simon Snyder | Hews from Philipsburg. 1 he action taken by the Philipsinng board of trade last Friday is stirring w quite a commotion among the pack ped dlers, who ply their vocation in the country surrounding that place.
