Tnm Republican convention for nomina ting Treasurer and Supreme Judge, met in Ilarrisburg on Wednesday last. R. W. Jlackay was nominated for Treasurer on the first ballot. For Supreme Judge, Hon. Isaac Gordon, of Jefferson county, was nominated on tho tenth ballot, the other candidates being Judge Paxson, of Philadelphia, and Wm. Butler, of Chester. The candidate for Judge is but little known to tho public, though lie is highly spoken of at home. If less was known of tho candidate for Treas urer, many persons would vote for him that now will fail so to do. Thico years in that " ring" is too much. WOODEN HAILROAES. In speaking of tho want of means to "complete the Emmittsburg branch of the Western Maryland Railroad, tho Baltimoro American says : " Our suggestion is this ; Lot tho Em mittsburg Branch Rrailroad Company put down a wooden track on the road bed which has already been graded, and uso it until the trade and travel between the junction and the terminous will pay for something better. The track might either bo of tho standard gnago or narrow guago, but we tbink the latter would be tho best, unless it can be shown that the Western Md. freight cars can bo run on a wooden track. We believe that a sawed railroad sill de livered on the lino of the Western Mary land Road is worth about seventy cents. 'Taking this as a basis of calculation, the Tails on the track would cost about ten cents per linear foot, and the whole seven miles would cost $7,003. The ties ought not to cost more than 25 conts each, and allowing one tie to every six feet, it would require 0,100 in all, which would cost $1,540. We think that $3,000 ought to cover the expenses of laying tho track down. This would make the entire super structure cost $11,033. Putting tho cost of an engine with India rubber bands on the driving wheels at $1,000, and other rolling stock at $4,308, for $20,000 we have everything ready for operation. The an nual interest on this expenditure would be $1,200. Looking at the matter from our stand point and without any practical ex perience to guide us, it seems that the not earnings of the Emmittsburg Branch ought to be $1,200 a month. This would leave a wide margin for the paying of interest on bonds and dividends on stock. All of the above may seem absurd to those who know most about railroads, but it is by starting theories and discussing them that substantial results are avrived at. We have shown how Emmittsburg can secure a railroad connection with Baltimore by au expenditure of $20,000. Any disinterested party is at liberty to prove to us that our plan is impracticable and our estimates erroneous." Nut a Nice Play Thing. A Lehigh county man and woman went to the bay field the other day and took their baby and placed it in the shade Sometime after, the mother noticed the child playing with a black strap which the little one would every now and then let fall out of the wagon and thon crawl out after it, seemingly being very busy with the object it bad in possession to amuse Itself. Not knowing how it got the strap, he persuaded her husband to go and see what it was. Imagine tho father's horror and terror wbon, on drawing near, ho found that tho child was actually fondling a black snake, at least four feet in length, now wrapped around the little one's body, then again entwining itself about its neck, and going through all kinds of frightful movements, its red tongue darting out of its mouth with lightning-like rapidity, and the child all the whilo stroking it, and joyfully laughing until the tears rolled down its cheeks. The snake was killed, to the grief of the child. C2T The constublesof Blair county re turned about forty persons for selling li quor without license, and bench warrants for their arrest were issued. They were arrested and gave bail in $300 each for their appearance at next term of court. Exciting Scene In Detroit. The Detroit Free Press says : At a lato hour Saturday evening some boys discov ered a man disrobing himself noar tho Russol street comotory yard, and when they approached him he attacked them so vigorously that they wore glad to retreat. They raised an alarm, and some men turn ed out in soarch of tho stranget but they failed to And him. Sunday morning his clothing was found on the street by a boy named Rudolph Phillips, living on Clay street, and soon, after this tho man was discovered in tho comctcry. Young Phillips, and several other boys entered tho grounds and approached tho man, who jumped up from behind a stone and fired two shots at tho crowd from his revolver, one of tho bullets narrowly mis sing Phillips. Tlio man thon shouted and yelled until a crowd of men colloctcd and mado preparations to capture him. Being afraid of his revolver, they approached very cautiously, sheltering themselves bo liind tho headstones. Tho lunatic fired twice at tho men, and then becoming afraid be leaped up and ran out of tho yard, hotly pursued. He had removed every garment, and as ho dashed up Russell street, shout ing and shrieking and flourishing his re volver, he created no littlo excitement. Some of tho men could have overhauled him, but whenever they caine near he turned and presented his revolver, as if about to fire, and they dare not come too close. Ho was pursued to tho north cud of tlio street, and was once almost sur rounded, but ho gained tho woods and es caped nil further search, though twonty or thirty men wero looking for him on Sunday forenoon. Most of the clothing left bohind was old country linen, and from this fact it is inferred that tho man had lately ni rived in this country from Germany. Young Scamps. Who will deny that there is a sanguinary element deeply implanted in human nature after reading tlio following : Three boys at Oswego Falls, N. Y., wero playing re cently, when two of them became angry at the third and determined to hang him. They selected a convenient limb,and strung their unhappy victim mercilessly in mid air, and then sat down to see him die. But the victim did not intend giving up the ghost so rapidly, for he clung to the ropo tenaciously, and struggled violently to frco himself. At length one of tho tormentors became impatient. Tho victim did not dio quick enough to suit him ; so instead of awaiting tho gradual approach of the grim monster, ho determined to expedite mat ters, and started to a houso near by to bor row an ax with which to cut off tho vic tim's head. The neighbor, learning what the ax was wanted tor, alarmed tho neigh borhood, and among them the victim's mother ; and thoy all rushed to tho grefvo, and cut down tho yet struggling boy. Singular Death. On Saturday, 20th ult., as Andrew Gut- tenberger, of Conowago tp., Adams co., was feeding his chickons, ho was bitten in tho hand. He was blind, and was accustomed to food his chickons from bis hand. What bit him is unknown, although he thought it was the picking of a chicken. No at tention was paid to the matter, until a few hours after, whon his hand began to swell and became quite black. This extended up his arm, and over his body, and in spite of medical attendance, caused his death on the noxt morning, Sunday, 27th ult., Mr. G. was about 05 years of age, and had been blind for a number of years. Strange Surgical Fatality. The Providence Press says : A singular case has just occurred at Fort Adams. The wife of Sorgeant Wright, who has been sick for several months, had an incision mado in her flesh a short time since-, by the Surgeon stationed there, for the purpose of injecting a fluid. Ilor body immediate ly commenced to swell and grow black, and the next morning sho was dead. Even af rer her decease the body continued to swell, and whilo it was boing taken to the grave it burst. A Senseless Suggestion. A certain Mr. null presents a littlo sug gestion concerning the celebration of the Centennial which is at least original. He proposes "that upon the fourth day of July, 1870, all the ptisons and penitentiaries shall iling their doors wide open and per init thoir inmatos to depart and begin over again." We wonder if Mr. Hull is not one of the inmatos he proposes to boneflt, or is it some friend of his that suffers? Lost Time Regained. About eight years ago Mr. Joseph Grace, residing near Ilchester, in this county, lost a silver watch, and after a long Bearch fail ed to And it. A few days ago while plough- ing, one of Mr. GracVa sons found the missing article in tho same field where it was lost, iu an apparently good condit'on, thus proving the fallacy of the maxim that " time lost can never be regained."
