Judob Dean at the. recent term of court in sentencing the Tyrone druggist for sell ing liquor -without licenso, took occasion to remark substantially as follows : " Druggists are authorized to sell liquor for medicinal purposes, subject, however, to tho risk of indictment. A physician's prescription is not of itself a safeguard for tho druggist. If the latter, even on the prescription of a regular physician, sell liquor to persons of known intomperato liabits, or to thoso who are known to use liquor as a beverage, he is liablo to indict ment and if found guilty, will be punished to the extent of the law. In short, in the opinion of the court, a druggist who sells liquor for any purpose whatever, or upon the prescription of the most eminent phy sician in tho county, does so at his own risk." Tiie political power as shown by tho farmers at tho recent Western elcotions, excites considerable apprehension among the politicians of the old parties. A meeting of some, prominent politicians was recently held in New York, to consider the situation. Senator Morton was open in his decla ration of opinion that unloss the farmer's movement is stopped or turned in some other direction it will prove fatal to the Republican party in all the prominent Western States. He also said that in a short time a great number of Republican loaders in that section will be marching under the banner of the granges. The will not be left behind when the column ' moves. Other men from the West endors - ed the views and opinions of Senator Mor- ton. It is more than probably ore another Presidential campaign opens, that " the " Grangers" will be powerful enough to make their own ticket. The movement has al- ready considerable strength in this State, aud more lodges are being organized each week, in various parts of the Common wealth. ; The Orange is a secret association, is founded upon tho porfect equality of man be fore the law,and is in full harmony with the spirit of the ago. Women are admitted as well as men, since it is found their co-operation in any great moral and social enter prise is indispensable, to its success. They participate in its discussions and aro found efficient coadjutors in its plan of operation. An Important Committee. At tho last session of the Senate, the pro ject of changing the mode of elocting a President aud Vice President prescribed in tho constitution, was briefly debated, chietly by Senator Morton. The anomalies, ine qualities and inconvenience and uncertain ty of the electoral system, together with the death of Mr. Greeley between the pop ular election and the meeting of the Electo ral Colleges, confirmed a very general be lief that the present system could bo advan tageously changed in some particulars, and the Senate Anally determined to refer Hue matter to the Committee on Privileges mud Elections, of which Senator Morton is 'chairman. The. idea was that during tho recess of Congress the , committee should meet and consider it, and devise a plan for waseutation at the next session. Senator 'Morton arrived in Washington Wednesday on business connected with this subject, aud there will soon be a meeting of his -committee. There are all sorts of rumors t Hying about as to the changes that will be rproposed, among others, that the majority of the committee favor the lengthening of the 'Presidential term to six years, and making the President Ineligible to re-election. At this early day, however, it is im possible to give a definite forecast of the committee's report. ' Tho Great Portland Fire. )a the 2nd inst., a very disastrous firo occurred in Portland, Oregon. It is now ascertained that the total loss is $1,158,675; 'insurance $241,008. It is proposed to re "bulld (lie burned district immediately, 'making tho streets wider so as to prevent 'the spread of Are in the future. Several of 'the suffiirers from tho December fire have Hjocn burned out. Ben Holladay aud other wealthy men propose to assist destitute huflerers in rebuilding their homes. Aid Is rafted from Chicago, St. Louis, New York, fiau Francisco and other cities of wealth aud weans. Portland's loss is compara tively greater than that of Chicago or Uos tou. . .

One has a steal back aud the other " a back steal," that's all. tS7A shaker basket maker at West Pittsfleld, Mass., has inherited $24,000 from a relative in Ireland. Ho proposes to shake the basket business immediately. St. Louis, August 0. A gentleman from Carlinville, Illinois, says a man, who re fused to give his name or antecedents, was arrested in that city on Monday last, on suspicion of being ono of the party who recently robbed the railroad train in Iowa. New York, August 6. The investigation into the tax list of the city, which have been going on some time, show such scan dalous frauds on the people that the Al dermanio Committee refuse to sign the list until it is revised. London, August 5. A terriblo collision occurred last night on the Lancashire and Yorkshire railroad. Two passenger trains, while running be tween tho towns of Leeds and Manchester, collided with great force, throwing both trains from the track. Twenty of the pas sengers were killed and seriously injured. tS" Two horses belonging to 8. Andrews of Greenwood, Clark county, Wis., were stung by hornets recently. They tipped over a load of hay, broke tho wagon into fragments, and dashed across the fluid at a fearful rate. Finally, one of the horses ran against a stump, and was killed almost instantly from the bursting of a blood ves sel. tW Scientific men tell us that if pianos stand north aud south tho tone of tho in strument is much improved. This is true especially when the piano is thumped by a learner. About one hundred and fifty miles north and south of you is the proper position for the instrument to stand when being manoeuvred by a young thing taking her first lessons. It improves the tone wonderfully. tW On Friday a week, an aged man named William J. Reed, of Sinking Valloy, was arrested and lodged in jail, charged with committing au outrage upon his daugh ter, a girl of 10 years. It is thought pretty generally that tho charge was a " put up job" by the girl, she having had a diflicul ty with her father some time before the commission of the alleged offence, and had left her home. tW A special dispatch from San Anto nio, Texas, reports a threatened riot grow ing out of severe chastisement given to a negro soldior by Captain Flynn, whoce daughter the negro had insulted. The officers commanding the negro troops sent word to the city officials that they could not control their men, and the citizens im mediately turned out in force. The mili tary authorities then ordered the negro soldiers out of town, and by their influence quiot was restored. t37 Peter Zimmerman and son of Au- gUNtaville, Snyder county, in coining to Sunbury, on Friday, met with an accident that resulted in serious injury. In coming over the hill at Purdytown, tho shaft bo came partly detached from the vehlclo when the horse ran away and upset the wagon, throwing out its occupants. The son became entangled in the lines, and dragged some distance. Mr. Zimmerman received a sovere gash on the forehead, and the boy serious bruises about the head and body. Their injuries were such that they could not bo removed to ' their homes for several days. Frteburg Courier. Singular Murderous Weapon. A man was hanged tho other day' at San Francisco for murder with a woapoa of a peculiarly dangerous and for a long time mysterious nature. This ' is a Band club, formod by filling an eel Bkinwith sand. 1 When this instrument was first brought into use the authorities were greatly puzzlod by deaths, apparently from violence, yet Ho marks could bo ' found on tho outside of the body. A burglar was finally captured with a sand club in his possession made out of an oel skin stuffed with sand. Being closely questioned, he explained its use. When the victim is struck, Tor instance, on the head be drops insensible and soon dies from congestion of the brain. ' Often the skull suffers no in jury from the stroke, and if the person struck recovers scnsibilitv he fn-ndunllv relapses into a condition of idiocy. Some times a man struck iu the body will be knocked down by the peculiar force of the uiow ana loci no immediate results from it. In a few weeks, however, the flesh will begin to mortify under tho line of the blow and rot down to the bone. Holler. the celebrated nianist. is sunnosed to hnvn met his death in Mexico from a stroke of this diabolical weapon. A Nice Place to Live. In Warren county, Kentuckv. last Mon day, a general fight occurred, in which William Hliives was shot throuch tho arm. Constable Howard, whilo attempting to stop tho light, was stabbed twice by Wil Ham Lark, ono of the contestants. An other constable, named Wright, struck Lark in tho forehead with a rock, iullictinrr a wound from tho effects of which Lark died that night. Howard's wound is not necessarily fatal. .
