NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuesday, April 10, 1879. Ouast declares that he will never lift a linger to secure his rcnomlnation. Possibly be won't, but he lifts every office-holder who doesn't labor to secure it for him; and, adds the Louisville Jturnal "here is the strongest argument in favor of the one k term principle." Thk Governor has not yet signed tho ap portionment hill which we print in anoth er column, and says if he does sign it, he will not do so until after the next annual election. In that case the districts will be the same as they were, and the two extra members of Congress which the state is en titled to under the recent act of Congress, will be elected from the state at large. Affairs in Mexico are in a terriblo con dition. A recent, letter from tho border says: The revolutionists are straining every nerve to raiso money, without which their cause will soon bo lost. They are levying contributions every where, and compelling foreigners and native alike to pay. Tho American Consul and other Americn mer chants in Monterey refund, when their stores wcro entered and goods taker, by the rebels. They Kent a copy of instructions received from Washington not to contrib nte toward tho support of the revolution to the rebel government, and it was treated with contempt. On the 10th, Inst., a terriblo accident oc curred on tho Midland Railroad, ncarllack nsack. Saddle River Bridge gave way and precipitated a train into the river. John Porcmus, brakeman, was instantly killed, and twenty-flvo or thirty passengers taken from tlie wreck more or less injured. The baggage master had both legs broken; David Bcauvell, conductor, was badly braised about tho head and is in a precari ous condition; Judge Wortendy, of Bergen county, was also badly injured. A wreck ing train was sent from Jersey City imme diately, and every attention was paid the wounded. Tub Republican convention for tho pur pose of nominating a state ticket met in llarrisburg on tho 10th inst. The follow ing are tho nominations niacin, General J. P. llartranft, of Montgomery, for Governor, on the first ballot. lion. Ulysses Mcrcur, of SuKquchannah, ou tho Fourth ballot, for Supremo Judge. Hon. Harmon Allen, of Warren, for Auditor-General, ou tho Jirst ballot. For Congressmen at large, General Lem uel Todd, of Cumberland, and General Harry Whit o, of Indiana, were nominated by acclamation. . Considerable dissatisfaction exists among tho friends of ilou. W. W. Kctchum, re garding tho nomination for Governor. The New York court of npjicals have just made an important decision which, al tliough no doubt good law, must carry ter ror to poaccful Now Yorkors. The court of special sessions in New York lias had a very extensivo criminal jurisdiction, and a largo number of persons seutonced by it for minor crimes are now enjoying tho hospi tality of the State. Two police justices, usually elected to that position ou account of partizan claims, constitute the court, but only one of them, it seems, has gener ally seen propel to hold court. Tho court of appeals has now decided that such action is irregular, since both justices should have boon upon the bench, and criminal lawyors are now besieging 'tho courts with appli cations for a general jail delivery of all per sons thus tried and sentenced. If tho ap plication is granted, and it seems dillicult to resist it, a host of potty criminals will be let loose upon unoffending society. 13?" Speaking of the man who was found Hoatiug in the river below Middletyiwn, an account of which wo published last week, the Lewistown Qazetle says: " Francis King, tho murdered man, was for sovoral years a resident of this county, living with the Millers in Bratton township, and was married on the 18th of last January to Miss Nancy Miller of that district. Ho "was at one time a resident of Lewistown, boarding with Major Kisenbise, for some years farming for his uncle in Ohio, and Wits employed on the railroad. Ho was at Paterson on the evening of the 20th of January, two days after his marriage, where he spoke of purchasing a house for cash, and it is by no means Improbable that some assassin and thief overheard, followed and murdered him, but where no clue, has as yet been obtained, as that was the last seen of him. His friends and relatives are determined if possible to solve the mystery of his untimely and apparently brutal death and if successful, to punish the bloody vll Han who committed tho foul deed." The Labor Eeform Movement The corruption which all honest men readily acknowledge exists in both f the great political parties of tho Nation, has been the means of giving such an impetus to the growth of tho Reform party, that it already has assumed such proportions, ns to cause serious alarm to the politicians. In one very important particular the managers of this new movement have taken a stop which meets the npproval of a largo portion of the American people. Instead of selecting as candidates for President and Vico President, political hacks, who have long been using every moans to secure a nomination, they have placed on their ticket mon who, thouglicm inontly qualified for the positions, have nover sought the office. They therefore are justly entitled to be called " the peoples candidates.'' Judge Davis their nominee for President is one of the Justices of tho Supreme Court of tho United States, to which position he was appointed by President Lincoln in 18C2. Although a Republican, he has never taken an active part in politics, and is no doubt as strong a candidate as tho Reform party could select. Joel Parker the candidate for Vice Pres ident, is the present Governor of New Jersey, to which office he was elected by the Democratic party last fall. During the rebellion, Governor Parker was what was called a " War Democrat." Ho is a man of very decided ability and has probably more frionds among his political opponents than any other public man in tho country. Already many influential papers have come out in support of tho Reform ticket, and the favor with which tho nomination of Davis and Parker is received all ovor the country seriously alarms tho office holders and political party leaders. A State convention is to bo held by the Re form party in Williamsport ou tho 7th of May, for the purposo of placing in nomina tion State officers. If they present as strong a state, as they have a national ticket tho election the coming fall, will bo one of unusual interest. The Apportionment Bill. The congressional apportionment finally agreed upon by tho legislature is as fol lows. It will bo seen that there aro some great changes, though this district is left as it has been for ten years past. First district Tho Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixtl), Eleventh, Twelfth and Sixteenth wards of Philadelphia. Second Tho First, Second, Seventh and Twenty-sixth wards of Philadelphia.

Twenty-sixth Erie, Warren, Venango and Forest. tTA terriblo accident happened at Soranton ou the 8th inst. At an early hour an explosion of fire damp occurred in Pino Brook shaft of tho Lackawana iron and coal company, resulting in the death of ono man, and seriously injuring two others. As the men came to their work, those engaged in the chambers, when tho explosion took place wore notified by the boss not to go to work, as their was fire damp in that locality. This ordor was repeated several times, yet, notwithstanding, a minor named James Stone went in with his naked lamp. The gas ignited and a fearful explosion took place, killing a laborer named Campbell, and burning Patrick O'Hara seriously, if not fatally, about the hands and body; also burning James Stone about the face and back. A Mammoth CaTe In Center Connfy. A correspondent of the Bellefonte Repub lican furnishes that paper with the follow ing: ... . A cave, equal if not superior to the Mam moth Cave in Kentucky, was discovered a few days since in the borough of Milesburg, this county, on the property of Mr. John Swyres, known as the Lime Kiln lots. Mr. Bwyres had been engaged in burning lime for a number of years; but for a time has suspended operations. A few weeks ago he commenced work again, with the inten tion of furnishing lime to farmers and oth ers. In opening the quarry ho discovered this cave, which is, at the mouth sufficient ly large to admit a large sized man. When onco in, it presents to the explorer sights tho most luagnifioont and delightfully beau tiful. Several departments are presented to tho eye, filled with the rarest specimens, the rooms are large and numerous, but as yet particulars can not bo given. Directly under this cave is Another, supposed to be much larger and richor in its queer and Indian-like specimens, A few days more work will enable tho explorers to tell the extent of both caves. We believe no In dian or other skeletons as yet have been found; but many specimens of different va riety and formation have been taken out by soveral persons, a sample of which has besn sent to this office, or at the Curtin house, in Central City. As this is so near the place where tho " Bald Eaglo Nest" has been located by tho historian, we would not be surprised to hear that this cave, or rather these caves, contain hund reds of Indian skeletons, tho bones of those noble red men who were so highly honored as to have " Bald Eagle" for their chief. Severe Storms in the West. A Cincinnati paper of the Oth inst., says: Reports from the surrounding country say that the storm last night was very severe. A heavy land slide had occurred, and one trestle is reported washed out on tho Lou isville Short Line railroad. Tho town of Wilmington, Ohio, is reported flooded. Tho bridge near Morrow, Ohio, on tho Little Miama railroad, is gone, and two bridges on the Cincinnati and Zauesvillo road, between Morrow and Clarksville, are swept away. Four bridges wore reported gone on tho Marietta and Cincinnati road. Reports from below Louisvillo say that tho county is all flooded, but as communi cation is interrupted, no reliable intelli gence has been received. Nearly two in ches of rain has fell hero since yesterday morning. Tho heaviest portion of the storm appeared to bo southward. Steam Boat Explosion. Tho steam boat " Oceanus" exploded her boilers on Wednesday evening last and took fire almost instantly. Tho accidont happened a short distance below Cairo. It is supposed (!0 or 70 persons were lost, but as the books of tho steamer and tho clerk are missing tho actual number of persons killed or drowned will never bo known.

I eonsulted skilful and eminent physicians, and tried many patent nostrums, but without success, so that my friends were sure that there was no hope of my recovery, for I was reduced from 140 pounds to 104, and was not ablo to do anything wlthont assistance. But what I now look upon as a Providential Interposition, I was induced to try your rem edies, and place myself under your treatment, and so rapid and thorough was my recovery, that it seemed as though some superhuman power was at work, and to-day I am as well as at any time during my life. I weigh 153 pounds, am 80 years old, and for some time have been regularly attending to my business, bidding fair to live to a good old one.
