West Point Cadetship. The
Erie Dispatch says that a vacancy now
exists at West Point, for a cadetship in
this uongressionai Uistrict. borne
youn; man between the ages of 17 and
21, is to be selected to veport at West
Point on the 2Gth of August next and
application sLoald forthwith be made to
Col. Curtis, member from the district.
And it also says that at the Louis
ville Medical College, every Congress
ional district is entitled to one benefici
ary student. Any young man wishing
to avail himself of the advantage of that
institution may apply to the member
from this district, who will make the
nomination.
It is a fact worth knowing, but which
does not seem to be generally under,
stood, that the amalgam of tinfoil with
mercury, which is spread on glass plates
to make looking-glasses, is very readily
crystalized by actinic solar rays. A mir
ror bung where the sun can shine on it
is usually spoiled; it takes a granulated
appearance familiar to housekeepers,
though they may not be acquainted
with the cause of the change. In such
a state the article is nearly worthless,
the continuity of the surface is des
troyed, and it will not reflect outlines
with any approach to decision. Care
must therefore be exercised in hanging
The famous Mead well now mak
ing considerable noise in the oil regions
ie owned by one of the Meads at
Youngsville. 0. W. B. of the Erie
Dispatch says: "The Mead well, which
is situated on the extreme frontier be
yond Millerstown, struck last Wednes
day, and is a two hundred barrel
gusher. All eyes had been turned to
this well for the last month, as great
doubt existed in the minds of opera
tors as to the belts extendiug thus far
toward Pittsburg. Oil and the spirits of
operators fell ten cents per barrel the
next twenty-hours after the striking of
this well. The Modoe, Greeco City and
the Southern belt at Millerstown, has
been defined, but this one seems to be
inclined to lead producers to eternal
ruin. Mr. Mead was born and raised in
tbu town, and his old friends wish him
luck, even if it is at the expense of all
the rest ot oildom. lie owns a tarm of
'fifty acres, on which this one mentioned
above is a test well."

Governor Davis, of Minnesota,
makes an appeal fur the peoplo of a
portion of his State, who am sutTerina!
from a visitation which has had no
parallel in this country, and may bo fitly
compared to the plagues which Moses
invoked upon Egypt through the
agency of his rod. Seven couuties of the
States, it seems, have been swept as
completely bare of their crops by grass
hoppers as if by fire, the insects, it is to
be supposed, iuvading the land in or"
mies of millions. The appeal is addres
sed to the granges of Minnesota, but
outside aid will not be refused
Although the peoplo of the East have

Dear Advocate. The Glorious
Fourth has come and gone, and it was a
great day for this place. In the morn
ing it looked very much like rain, but
notwithstanding the appearance of the
weather by ten oclock quite a cumber
of people had assembled. There were
two platforms erected one lor the sj,Cdk
ers and one for dancing. About one
o'clock a sumptuous dinner was served;
there were all kinds of pie. and cakes
(all except buckwheat cakes') pcaohrs,
ice cream, etc., and everything went
fine until the second table had ate when
a shower arose and it began to hail, and
hail fell largerthan hen's eggs fur about
five minutes, alter which there was
another table fct, and alter all had pir
taken of a hearty meal; they prt pared
for a nice time of "tripping the light,
(antastio toe," Messrs Human and Munn
furnishing the music. They had danced
lour or five eets, when the would be
mauagor appeared ou the platform and
informed the audience that they could
dance no more on the platform unless
they paid a dollar and a-half a couple,
when the aulier.ee disbursed and went
to the White I'iue Hotel and had a nice
time.
Yours, Jenny Jenks.

50 p. rn. Lewis lloscntiue and John
Moody were hanged for the murder of
Abram Behm, an old farmer living a
short distance from Middleton, Dauphin
county, November 14, 1873. They
both mace a confession a short time al
ter their sentence. Their statements
differed in some points, but show that
both were puilty of the horrible crime,
which they had premeditated.
Roscntine made a short address on the
gallows. He said he murdered Bchm,
and hoped God would have mercy on
his soul. Moody made a long speech,
the substance of which was that -he Was
along with Rosettiue, and deserved to
die. He hoped for forgiveness. Ros-
eutinc died almost instantly, but Moody
struggled three or four minutes.

Bursting of Another Reservoir in Hassaclr:,
eotta.
Springfield, Mass., July 13. Details
coming to hand of the second flood in
Hampshire county say that it was
caused by the giving way of a reservoir
ot a factory nt the village ot Juiddlefield
Ihe reservoir was situated on middle
field brook, which empties into the west
branch of estfiolJ River at iMiddlciield
Switch. It covered nearly 100 acres
and was built .about 30 years ago. It
was used ior storing water lor running
two broadcloth nulls, a thill, aud stave
factory, and a grist mill.
The water swept over farms, gardens,
and toads, and several bouses were
moved somo distance. The heaviest
oer at Cheaters is Dr. Herman Lucas,
who estimates his loss at $10,000. The
town of Chester suffers heavily in the
loss of bridges and damage to roads
To replaco these bridges will cost $10,
000. The Boston & Albany railroad is
very badly damaged for a distance of
nearly twenty miles. 4Evcry bridge be
tween Middlefield and Huutiugtou is
wholly or partly destroyed.
At tho Middlefield switch two unoc
cupied house wcro swept away, and also
an old red house used as an office when
tho railroad was building. Several
barns nod outbuildings were also carried
off nt the switch, and farms and gardens
were badly damaged. A tenement
house occupied by the family of Leon
Jouezaux, was swept away. Tho total
amount of duinngo to individuals and to
the town of Chester is estimated at
250,000. The latest figures indicate
that the total loss will reach 8350,000.
We take the following items from the
Emporiu m Jnttrjen7c7.t:
Rattlesnakes teem to be quite num
erous hereabouts this season. Last week
George Ilertig killed one of monstrous
size, that has sixteen rattles on his nar
rative, D K Hacket auother with twelve
rattles and Charles Thayer one with
eleven. It is generally supposed that the
numher of rattles attached to these var
mints indicates their iige, and if this be
true the captured ones of last week were
real natives.
Potato Bugs by the Bushel. An en
terprising farmer up Rich Valley in
this county gathered three bushels ol
potato bugs, one day last week, und he
s:iid it was a poor day to gather them nt
that. Should they continue to lucreiiFe
here much longer we will soou he nolo
to compete wiih the western farmers
some of whom it is reported have
gathered sixteen bushel in a single day.
