The Democratic County Convention met in the Court House on Monday at 2 o'clock P. M. Every district in the county was represented. It required no scrnteii'zing look at tho faces of the mtuibets as they sat inside of the bar to convince that they were earnest workers in the political cause which they espous ed. They are earnest men aud fight vigorously in whatever cause enlisted. whether it be in hording aloft the banner and interests of a favorite chieftain, or in bunting a foe, believing always that they are tight, and never yielding till they are convinced that they are wrong, which once reached they as readily aud gracefully turn from their foimer course as Paul turned from the persecutions of the Christians, to be their most earnest friend and advocate. They are made of the same steff as those who waged the long wars against the Infidel Turks, persecuted John EInss, and summoned Martin Luther at Worms, or when ar rayed sgaiu-t kingly prerogatives, drove Charles the first from his throne, and set up the Cromwellian government, or es tablished on a permanent basis on Ply mouth Rock in 1620, the foundation of our present great Republic. We honor their pluck, bat would if we had our way, have them fight politically in another direction. Mr. Win. Jack man, Chairman of the outgoing commit tee, called the Convention to order, and bade them adieu in an official capacity and thanked them for the many kind nesses they had extended to him during the year -just closing, and closed with the motion that Prof. A J. Patterson of Airy View, be elected President of the Con vention, llarmony prevailed throughout the Convention, and Mr. Patterson took the chair without a dissenting voice.

Alois Oehler, a Catholic priest of Summit, Butler county, Pa., recently committed suicide near East St. Louis. He was found hanging to a tree. A satchel was standing near by, and on the fence was a package of clothes and a black silk hat, evidently put there with some care. The cord by which the body was suspended, was a new one and a piece of it was fonnd in the satchel care fully tied up. His satchel contained a pocket-book, empty, except one nickel, spectacles, inclosed in a neat case, clean underclothes, and a shirt, a new Smith & Wesson revolver, loaded ; a rosary crucifix, a package of paper and a seal ed envelope, bearing in a neat and bold handwriting the inscription, (in German) "My Last Will." Among the papers was a certificate of declaration to become a citizen of the-United States, dated at Pittsburgh, Pa , October 14, 1S72, and a letter in German from the Rev. Aug. Marie Mieman, of Summit, Butler coun ty, Pa., to the Rev. Alois Oehler, dated July 19. 1873. A piece of prose well written, but not signed, yet in the same handwriting as the will. The 'will' also written in German, and signed by Alois Oehler, was dated at Freiburg, III., July 12, and translated would read about as follows. "Knowing that I am not possessed of any money having not been at work for two years and three months, and having spent 8600 I desire to be buried decently, but without any ostentation or religious ceremony. Therefore, I desire that my personal effects, locked up in a trunk at Mr. Ilein's, brewer, in East St. Louis, consisting in part, of books, cloth ing, and some silver ware, be taken to pay the expenses of my funeral." The verdict of the Coroner's jury was that Alois Oehler, aged forty-two years, came to his death by strangulation caused by hanging himself. ' The deceased was well-known in both St Louis and St. Clair county, 111., and when sober was a very intelligent man ; but he was so addicted to strong drink that he kept under its influence whenever he could get any one to give it to him. In his dress he was very neat and tasty. His clothes were eut in a clerical style, and his whole deportment showed him to be a man of fine culture. He was a native of the Tyrol, Austria, but it is not known whether he has any relatives in this county. He was a Roinau Catholic priest in good standing, bnt had ceased to exercise any functions as such from self consciousness of unworthiness. ' HEWS DESPATCHES. ScRAXpe. Pa., August 12, 1873. A thrilling catastrophe occurred this ofter- noon ou the hills, about five miles from this city, at a place called Kuhu's Patch. A large Dumber of women and girls from Scranton were on the hills gathering berries, when a storm came up from the south and they rushed to an untenanted building to take shelter from the down pouring rain. About forty one women aud children found rorayin the old house, while seven were 'obliged to stand outside under the storm. With the increasing storm the sheets of fire began to descend, the light ning becoming more vivid and the peals of thunder seeming to advance from distant caverns until the old building be gan to tremble. At length a lightning shaft, more vivid than any that had pre ceded it, descended among the unhappy group of womeu aud girls, killing two of them and scorching in a frightful man ner four others, tearing the flesh off their limbs and produciig a heart-sickening sceqe among the panic stricken women. For some time even those who had not been touched by the electric fire were paraliaed by the appalling sight they had seen, and were nnable to render any assistance. The groans of those fatally injured and the six other victims were heart rending, aud the utter helplessness of the poor women and girls was pi table. Word was sent eventually to Scranton and with the utmost despatch messengers were sent over the bill to the scene of the disaster with wagons, medical atten dance and bedding on which to convey me ueaa ana wounuea to tne city, l wo of the women who stood outside the shed said that the excitement was so intense when they teft the shocking scene that they could not bear to go into the old house nor to hear the moans of those within who were suffering from the most excruciating agony. The road leading from Scranton to the sad scene is almost impassable, being completely flooded at several points, and will be a late honr to-night before those who have gone there with wagons can return to the city. I learn that a woman named Kline aud a girl named Schenk. eighteen years of age, the daughter of a blind man, are dead. LATER DETAILS OF TUB CALAMITY. The party of women struck by light ning on lae ivutra latch bills, near Scranton this afternoon, have been brought to this city. Only two were killed on the spot, but four others are burned fatally and many quite seriously. Several of the women were unable to find room iu the old hut or the deaths would have been much more numerous. One of the women standing on the outside the time the fiery dart entered the ill fated place states that the raiu and hail was falling in torrents and all crowd ed to the door. When the lightning struck, preceded an instant before by a terrifying peal of thunder one dreadful chorus of screams rent the air and at the sight of the dead and those whose flesh had been stripped from their bodies in many parts, several members of the par ty faiuted, while the remainder, though unhurt, were perfectly paralyzed wi:b fear. It was some twenty minutes be fore any one could be induced to move toward the city for assistance, so great was the dread that had fallen on them by this frightful visitation. The Wyom ing Valley bad been partly inundated by the heavy rain, and there was con siderable difficulty experieuced in reach ing the unfortunate people St. Loui. August 15. Advices from the Pawnee :. reservation in Nebraska, say the Pawnees ate preparing for a war with the Sionx, in retaliation for the at tack on them some days ago. They are said to have about six hundred warriors among themselves, and have invited the Otoes, Omaha, Yanktons and Poncas to join them. . Nearly all of them have ac cepted the invitation, and at last accounts the braves of these tribes were either at or on their way to the Pawnee reserva tion. The Pawnees expect to muster 1,600 warriors, and propose to prosecute a relentless war against the Sioux. For the origen of the Pawnee and Sioux war, see despatch on first page. A Hint to Housewives how to keep Kltch en ware Clean and Bright. Every housewife of neat and tidy habits takes especial delight in keeping all the tin, copper and iron ware of her kitchen as clean aud bright as painstak ing labor can make them. A pride in this direction is commendable, and al ways meets the smiling approval of the "tyrant man" who pays the household bills. Remember that Sapolio is the on ly thing on earth that will mrke an old tarnished tin pan or a rusty kettle shine as bright as new. And by the use of Sapolio it is the "quickest and easiest thing in the world to keep every utensil in a high state of polish. In the early part of last week, Mr. Jacob Sterrett, while at work on bis farm in East Nantmeal township, Chester county, killed an immense garter snake, which contained fifty -eight small snakes. Mr. Starrett does not know whether any got away or not.

A VALUABLE WORK ON THE WEST. ' The Undeveloped West ; or. Five Tears in the Territories." Being Complete His tory of that vajt region between the Missis sippi and the Pacific ; its Resources, Cliuate, Inhabitants, Natural Curiosities, ete., with Life and Adventure on Prairies Mountains, and the Pacific Coast. By J. II. Beadli, Western Correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, and Author of ' Life in dab," ete. Published by the National Publishing Co., of Philadelphia. The most attractive, as well as the most remarkable portion of onr country, is that which lies west of the Mississippi. It is attractive to the emigrant, because it is to that region that be looks for s borne ; to the student of nature, because of the stupendous marvels of creation in which it abounds , to the capitalist, be cause of its wonderful capacity for pro ducing wealth. It is a IanIoi gran' deur, beauty and romance. Mr. Beadle spent five years in the Great West, for the especial purpose of exploring the country. "Setting out on foot, he traversed the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas, as well as DakoUb and the indian Terri tory ; viniting in person all that was worth seeing ; examining the lands, liv ing and conversing with the people, and gaining for himself a fund of informa tion, based upon his own observations and discoveries, more extensive than one man in a million can obtain. He explored the various routes of the Great Pacific Railways, and spent months with the Indians, both frieudly and bos- tile, studying their character and habits He allowed no personal peril to deter him from the execution of his plan. Thou sands of louely miles were traversed by him, aud he endured fatigue, hunger and mauy dangers, that be might make known the true character of the land and people in which and among whom bis wanderings were made. - The book is full of information and facts of the greatest importance, such as could be obtained only by going after them as this indefatigable explorer did. These new States and Territories eon tain incomparably the grandest scenery in the world, and some of the richest re sources of the American Continent. Probably no ot'er man has ever jour neyed so extensively among them as Mr. Beadle certainly no one so competent to describe what he has seen. All sorts of people figure iu this work, for it is a brilliant picture of life and manners iu the Great West. The hardy frontier farmer ; the wary huuter and trapper; the reckless miner; the cruel and degraded savage ; the hard-working "Heathen Chinee the "much-married" Mormon ; the strange remnants of the oncc-powetful Aztec race all these fig ure with the naturalness of life in this remarkable work. It is emphatically the greatest book of the day, aud cannot fail of attaining an immense circulation. We heartily re commend it to our readers. It is comprised iu one large octavo volume of 323- pages, and Illustrated with 240 fine engravings of the scenery, landsf miues, people and curiosities of the Great West, and a new mtp of the region de scribed. The book is sold by subscrip tion only, and the publishers want agents in every county. SHORT ITEMS. In Hesse husband whippcrs are ridden backward on a donkey.
