THE DEinOCBATIC NOMINEES.
Irom the accounts received from Harris.
burg the session of the Domocratlo Conven
tlon was an exciting one. On the second
ballot Asa Packer was nominated for Gov
ernor, amid great enthusiam, and subse
quently Cyrus L. Pershing, of Cambria
county, was nominated for Judge of the
Supreme Court The result appears to glvo
satisfaction to the Bemoracy here, but
many are disappointed that Gen. Cass, was
thrown overboard. Asa Packer, the Gub.
einatorial candidate, is said ts be a man of
irreproachable character, and of good poli
tical record. He Is very weultby, and has
large railroad and coal interests in the
eastern part of the State, where it is claim
ed be will pole a large vote. Mr. Pershing,
candidate for the Judgeship, is an able man,
and has served in severel public positions
in the State. He is a brother or Rev. 1. C.
Penning of Pittsburgh.
JULY.
This month, which came in on Thursday,
ban thirty-one days, and will 'go out on
Saturday. There was a new moon on the
I'tb, first quarter 16th, full moon on the
23d, and third . quarter 31st July was
originally designated Quintals, in rofercace
to its fifth place In the calendar. It having
been the month In which Julius Cicsar was
born, alter the death of this emperor the
name was changed to July, in honor of the
great warrior. Our Saxon ancestors ' called
it Uty Monath, "because they therein us
ually mowed and made their hay harvest."
July is allowed all over the northern hemis
phere to be the warmest month of the year,
and its great heat led to a superstition
among the Romans, which still prevails.
They conceive that the great warmth, and
the diseases and other calamities flowing
from It, were somewhat connected with the
rising and sotting of the star Canicula
the Little Dog in coincidence with the
sun. They accordingly conferred the name
of Dog Days upon the period between the
3d ot July and 11th of August. This star
docs not rise now in coincidence with the
sun until the latter part of August
Samuel 11. Irwin, formerly of Cherry
Tree, Venango Co., Pa., died recently at
Galesburg, III., at the age of 65. Ho was
highly esteemed, and bis old friends and
neighbors will regret to learn of his decease.
Holmes and Farnswortb, have not receiv
ed at their news room several packages of
papors mat are supposed to have been burn
ed at the recent terrible disaster on the Erlo
Hallway.
. Certain young.ladies should bear in mind
that dropping hankerchiels, or making sig
nals of them on the street, for the purpose
of attracting gentlemen, was n07er intended
by the manufacturers, and is a preversion ol
purpose. Use them, dears, on your sweet
mouth and preiiy noses.
The qiiestiou of the removal of the nation:
al -.capital is agajn being agitated lo some
extent. Now York. Cincinnati. ri.i
St. Louis and Memphis are points mention
ed as being capital locations. A, removal
will be absolutely necessary within a low
years. It should not to lo York, but
to a polut as near tbe centra ol thu country

Axothkr Oil Disaster. On Wednesday
evening last the wife of Mr. Joseph Felrst,
who lives tear Evaosburg, poured some oil
from a can into the stove to quicken tbe fire.
The oil in the can took fire and exploded,
burning Mrs. Feirst so terribly that it is not
probable she can live. While comtnlssera
ting the fatoof this poor woman, ono cannot
but attribute tbe accident to the most stu
pid ignorance, or perfect recklessness of con
sequences. The newspapers arc full of ac
counts of just such mishaps from just such
causes, and ytt there is no end to them. It
is one of tbe plainest instances of the const

June was a ruiny month, to a dejreo un
equalled in many previous years. An in
telligent meteorologist, Dr. Lapham,
gives the figures at Milwaukee, for the rain
fall of June, at 7.67 inches, being more than
double tbe average of twonly-Bix years.
Next winter should, therefore, be clear and
oold, and rink Btocks should advance.

Tbe Alleniown Democrat says: At pre
sent them are about fifty sluto quarries in
full operation in LcbigU and Northampton
counties, which during tho last year, pro
duced about two hundrod thousand eqaresol
slate; out of these,', aocordlng to the prices
obtained, were realized one million fire
hundred thousand dollars, with a net profit
of about seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. Tbe working capital is estimated
at one million seven hundred thousand
dollars, which shows a result or titty per
cent, profit on tbe amount Invested. Be
sides the qarrics can only fill about half
their orders, and what tbey do fill they bring
to market under difficulties. All tbe quai
rica In Northampton, excepting a few, have
to drag tboir slate from two to fifteen miles
on wagons, wbicb is a great drawback an
immense wasto of time and money.
Time and thorough trial has revealed tbe
fact that tbo Great Yo&cmite Bitters as a
Tonic is one ot the great blessings given to
tbe world. During tbe presont heated term,
whenovor it is used, appetites are kept up
strong, and disoase cannot compromise witb
it. It is a fact that botel proprietors do not
desire their boarders to indtilgo in the bev
erage, or if tbey do, pay a larger price for
their board. Try it and see for yourselves.
Tbo famous Oraig-Sprage breach of prom

attorneys for tbe plaintiff, Mies Craig, sece

forty thousand dollars as damages instead
of tbe one hundred thousand awarded by
tbe Jury, and from which verdict the coun
sel for tbe defendant entered an appeal.

peal and pay tbe forty thousand as a plaster
