ber of the IjPuisluturc, on a charge of
attempting to blackmail tho banks of the
State, and in order to save himself from
expulsion resigned his seat in the
House of Representatives. The crime
was clearly brought homo to him, and
his nomination is one of the greatest
outrages on public decency we have ever

would disgrace themselves by being as
sociated with Dimmtck on tbe ticket.

Cane Presentation. Last Tues
day evening, D. C. Oyster's residence
was the sceue of a neat littlo affair.
Stephen Oyster, who has been visiting
hero for a few days, is the oldest of the
three sons; and John Oyster took this
occasion cf expressing his regards for
his older brother by presenting him
with a handsome gold headed cane.
The wood of the cane is from the Fla:-
ship Lawrence, and was manufactured
by the donor. The inassivo gold head
is elegantly carved and bears the legend
in German Text andjscript "from J. W,
E. to bis brother, Perry's Victory, Sep
tember 10th, 1S13." Tito cane is to be
hereditary, and in case of the oldest
brother dying it decends to the next
oldest, and when the three brothers aro
no more in need of canes, to stay their
declining years, it will then go to Elk
Lodge A. Y". M. to be preserved as a
relic Dr T. S. Hartley uiado the pre
sentation speech, and all present were
much affected by the scene. The gold
head of the cano is the work of Ball,
Black & Co., New York.
The new issue of one dollar United
States Treasury notes has made its ap
pearance. The new notes of this de
nomination, like all the steel engraving
bank note work of the government, is
admirably executed. While the gen
eral stylo of the old and the new one
dollar notes is tbe same on the face, the
backs are entirely difl'ereut. On the
face ot the new note is the same central
medallion head of Washington, and left
hand corner vignette of Columbus dis
covering America, as well as tbe 6amo
right and upper corner lathe work de
nominational vignette. There is no
green tiut on the face of tho new note,
as is the case with tho old issue. The
difference of engraving on the face of
the note are 6imply in the borders for
numbers, and in tho red treasury seal.
The latter is now smaller, and placed
between the Washington and Columbus
vignettes. In place of the large seal on
the old note, is a red border and lathe
work over the block letters forming the
words "one dollar." The back of the
new noto is green, of course, but of a
new, elaborate and intricate design of
geometrical lathe work, with St. An
drew's cross in tbe centre, bearing the
words "United States of Amorica,"

Senator Morrill, of Vermont de
livered a speech at Rutland u lew days
ago, that was chiefly notable for the.
soundness of its views on the question of
the currency. He eutcrod a strong pie;,
for honest money, that was directed es
pecially to the agriculturists, and his
views cannot fail to have great weight.
Clipped coin, as a legal tender, he said,
would be no more dishonest than depre
ciated paper. States never chartered
banks with the privilege of issuing de
preciated paper and calling u money.
Tho necessity for such a lalse standaid
long ago passed awa-; nnd while its con
tinuance is pernicious to all healthy
business, it is exceptionally oppressive
to tho agriculturists, whose farm at no
time could have been sold for inflated
prices, and the value ol whoso products
has borne no just proportion to the in
creased cost. Mr. Morrill opposed the
reciprocity treaty as discriminating un
justly against American producers
He considered it a one-sided arraoge
meut, iu which Canada derived all the
benefit, while tho Stato suffered to a
proportional extcut.
Simple Cure for Uoils. Dr.
Simon, physician of Lorraine, gives us
a new cure for boils, namely, by treat
ing them with camphored alcohol. As
soon as the culm-nation point of a boil
makes its appearance he puts a little of
the liquid iu a saucer, and, dipping the
ends of his little finger in it, rubs the
inflamed surface, especially the central
part, repeating the opperation eight or
nine times for about half a minute. He
then allows the surface to dry, placing
over it a slight coating of camphorated
olive oil. He says that four such appli
cations will, in almost all cases, cause
boils to dry up and disappear;the opera
tion to be preformed morning, noon and
evening. The announcement of so sim
ple a cure for such a painful malady
will bear repetition.
Api'Letonh American Cyclopedia.
That the revised, and elegantly il
lustrated edition of this work, now be
ing publibhcd, a volume of 800 pages
once in two months,' is the best Cyclo
pedia in America, is certain. No library
is complete without it. It is a complete
one in itself. It only cost 83,00 a month
to get it in leather binding. The best
and cheapest library in the world.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Beneictte, Sept.22d, 1874.
Ma. Eniron or Advocate:
With your permission 1 wish to correct
statements, made in a letter printed in the
AnvocATB, dated Sept. 9th, 1874, from
Penfleld, over tho signature of "A Gaest."
In the first place he snys that the Ucwit
family is one of the oldest and largest In
the county, his father and mother having
settled in the county Co years ago. Now,
55 years takes ns back to 1819. In my
father's account book I find an account
beginning March 2oth, 1818. and the ac
count with Mr. Hart continues up to 1823,
February 28, and further I have not
hunted up. Another statement is to the
effect that they were the first settlers of all
this region up nnd down tho Bennetts
Branch, and remained so for many years,
and during all this time Mrs. Hewit and
daughter did not see a white woman, their
nearest neighbor then being Bcnezette etc.
Now 1 find by reference to my father's
books, charges against John Boyd, begin
ning August, 1816; the first is Dr. To
Erasmus, canoeing nnd helping about his
house 8 days. At that time Boyd com
menced making improvements preparatory
to building n sawmill nt the mouth of
Kersey Run, whero Wcedvillo now stands,
nnd got it running in iho fall following.
I also find by father's book an account,
opened between hiin and Cliauncey Brock,
way, in 1817 previous to December 20th.
By the same old book I find accounts opened
with Col. Isaac Webb, old Jonathan Nichols,
Fredrick Weed, Cnpt. Josiah Mead, Isaac
Ilorlon, nnd I could name several others,
were it necessary to show that. Mr. Ilewit's
family was not. tho first in tho neighbor
hood. All these accounts commence in
1817nnd 1P18. Mr. Ebenczer Hewit com
menced, as stated previously, in 1818.
Now, I think from what I have written, "A
Guest" was not correctly posted, in regard
to all of his statements, respecting the
Hewit. family. Cut Mr. Hewit and family
saw hard fare when they first Bbttled whore
they now live, ns all of the first settlers did,
but (hoy had neighbors not far oft", and
the-e was a sawmill as stated, which was
more convenient than it was when my
fut her commenced in the county, 1818.
without n mill nearer, well. 1 do not know
how tar off. or nails to build with. There
are some olh r statement might be cor
rected but I will pass them for the present
time. Yours.

GEORGE BAYARD ALDRICH.
Aged 12 jcar3, 4 mou.hs, nnd 14 d;iys.
No mother watches o'er your bed.
No fnther blesses your young head,
Guarding you no brother stand,
No gentle smiling sister band,
Ne'er may you--our pride,

George Bayard Aldrich, the son of
A. T. and S. A. Aldrich departed this
life September lith 1871. To say
that his death caused intense sorrow and
grief 13 not saying enough. Seldom
will you sec more heartbroken people as
was at the grave of our young friend
and pupil, Bayard was a tender hearted
well meaning upright and honest bey.
He was silted with a faculty that enab
led him to learn with ease and discern
readily. He possessed a characteristic,
jocular in its nature, that won for him
tho entire respect nnd love of his school
mates. As a pupil he was obedient
kind and willing to his teacher. As a
school m ite ho was forbearing, lively,
free and kind to his fellow mates The
old praised and the young admired him.
His school-mates without exception
deeply lamented the one with whom
they so often talked, wnlkod, played
and studied. They deplored their dear
friend for iu him they found a tender
and kind disposition. His death made the
school room n bouse ot sorrow and tears.
Tho school mournfully and slfnvly led
tho procession to place of burial. At
the grave whilo that which wis mortal
of our young friend was beinir bid from
mortal view, tho school sang with pathos
'They are going down tho valley."
Hov. Wm Martin of Ridgway after his
brief yet affecting and ttppropriute re
marks read the following which was
written for the occasion:
Thy voice that oft in accents brolio
Will no'cr npnin thy love proclaim,
Fer God in all his wisdom spoke:
"Come up hilhcr," where love doth reign.
Oh thou art dead, my dearest boy.
What can your tender parents sny;
Your brothers, sisters have no joy.
For ihou so quickly passed away.
Thero is a rest beyond the skies,
Where angel voices sweetly B'rng
A rest where sorrows never rise,
Where Christ to thee a crown will bring.
Wo will, like thee, soon pass awny
To realms of bliss, where thou wilt be;
Where no disenso its hand can lay,
No death for 'tis eternity.
One who possessed the energy and
perserverance found in thoso youths
who in after life became men of intcg
lity, honor nnd influenoo. One who was
ns it were a bud of true manhood but
dostincd to bloom in heaven.
HIS TEACHER.
"Lithe Tented Fid i"
On Tuesday, September 8th, the
Twelfth Regiment was reviewed and
inspected at Williamsport. Early in
tho morning Herdio Park resounded
with the beat of drum and tramp of
martial feet as the morning drill was
gone through with, then arms were
stacked to await the arrival of Governor
Hartranft and his staff.
About 11 o'clock the Governor ar
rived, then fhe long roll was beat, the
command "fall in" given, nnd the men

pressed himself well satisfied with the
condition of the regiment. It is com
posed of good material, and with prac
tice will doubtWss become one ot the

CLOSING OF TUE COTTON EXCHANGE
Latest dipatches from New Orleans
report that the New lork Cotton Lx
change closed at 1 P. M. as a mark of
sympathy with the movement to estab
lish a legitimate government in Louisi
ana. The excitement is subsiding and
all is quiet. The cars which were used
for barricades have been replaced on the
irack.
Tha Prouth-
, General drouth prevails. Id Phila
delphia tbe supply of water is alarmingly
low and restrictions have been placed
upon its use. In New Jersey the corn
crop has been seiiously injured and for
est tires still rage unassuaged.
Throughout this region we hear a gen
eral murmur. The corn crop which
promised so well several weeks ago, can
not but be affected. The cars will not
grow to maturity, nor will the grain de
as full and solid. It is too dry to do
seeding and pastures have becomo bare.
Unless we have rain soon the injury to
the crops will be incalculable. In these
stringent times the people may well fear
the consequences of a long drouth.
