This will be the routine pursued in the matter of having bullion coined into money “It will be taken in person or shipped direct to the respective mints.

The weigh clerk and register will then enter in their respective books the name of the depos- itor, number and date of each deposit, kind of bullion, weight before melting, and, if it can be ascertained, the state or country from which it is derived. The depositor will then be given a receipt for the value of his deposit, if it is of such character that its value can be ascertain. ed before melting.

From the steps of the court house a { number of stirring addresses were made, The meeting was opened by an address from Hammond Sechier, the well-known of and sterling democrat groceryman ler He was followed H.

S It was a remarkably enthusiastic « y M er, lem. ounstration ers were applauded to the echo and the mere mention of the nominee's significant fact in the demonstration was the large attendance, and close attention of the public to hear some of the issues defined and briefly discussed. Another point: There were a great many repub. licans in the audience anxious to hear about the silver issue and a large num. ber were open and pronounced advo. cates of the free silver sentiment, and expressed their intention of voting that way this year, After the meeting the band discoursed several excellent selections and the au. | dience dispersed. SILVER DISCUSSION Wherever you went that evening here and there, were small groups of men discussing the silver question. In this you would find republicans strongly ar. guing the Lenefits of free silver, and some well-known, old line democrats upholding the gold standard. Groups of earnest listeners standing by eager to gather information about this new issue, which seems to have divided party lines considerably and is gaiving strength in all sections of the county, Scores of republicans in Bellefonte have expressed their intention of voting the democratic ticket this year because they believe in ‘free silver.” Then there are a number of democrats, who, from conviction, will depart from party lines and support the gold standard nom. | ed by the new n Mess, | Bow. | The sentiments of the speak- | | m name | 1 # was the occasion for ringing cheers.

Thus indicates that the activities of the presidental contest will commence earlier this year than usual, and the campaign of education, for that is to be its charact- er, will have full sway for three months, Usually not much is done in that line be- fore the middle of September. All the in. dications are for a canvass of surpassing interest and carnestness, The boast is made the money will be all on one side. We fancy the Democrats will have no difficulty in getting all they need for legitimate expenditures, That is all they should have. “Many mickles make a muckel.” But there is such a thing as a political canvass in this country where the earnestness of conviction and purpose is a more potent power than campaign funds, It is likely to be so this year. intense Worrying the Farmer, A new kind of potato bug has made its appearance in Pennsylvania, and so far has baffled all attempts at extermination. A few days ago a farmer noticed that his potato'crop was looking poorly. An exe. amination was made, and ihe farmer found bugs which in bis estimation are 100 per cent, worse than the old pest. It is an insect about three times as large as au ordinary fly, and of a dull black color. It eats the vegetables from the top to the ground, .
