General lien. Harrison addressed
about 5,000 or 0,000 people at the siet
we Is, near Kvanviiie, Did., He
spoke for an hour, making an able and
comprehensive speech, toifehingbrielly
about ah the (itieslions in issue be
tween the parties His review of Til
den's record was admirable, and made
a tine impression. General .lohn M.
Harlem made a brief speech ut the salt
wells, und last night addressed a crowd
of 3,000 at tlie wigwam, in one of the
ablest and most telling speeches of the
campaign. A thousand peopie
crowded the streets unable to get in
the hall, which Heats 2000. It was a
lield day foi tlie Republican party.
For once Ex-Covcruor Seymour, known
as the great American decliner, has mus
tered up sufficient courago to stick by liin
word and refuse t) accept the Saratoga
nomination. The report of his acceptance
proves to have been prouiaturo, and was
doubtless sent out with tho expectation that
he would finally yield, asho had ahvoys done
heretofore. The sage of Utlci, however,
manifests a dogged determination to remain
in private life, much to tho consternation
of the Democracy. If ho cannot bo coaxed
into accepting tho nomination, the State
Committee will be called upon to choose a
candidate, as (he convention bus adjourned.
We cannot but admire the Spartan courage
of the Bourbon statesman ia sticking to his
word for ouee, though we confess lo a fear
that ut the last moment be will yield and ac
cept the bauble. The New Y'ork Democracy
have been thrown into spasms by the
nominal iun of Morgan, and every eiu now
points to a Republio m triumph ia Novem"
ber. The Tilden load is a heavy one to
carry; but with Seyuour it was increased
tenfuld. Republicans heartily regret that
Seymour is afraid to face the inusio, as with
him ou the course their victory would have
been, more overwhelming. Who will be
taken up iu the event of hi3 fiaal refasalto
come out, cannot be conjectured at pregeut,
as the Democracy are so demoralized that,
they have no fixed plans, and are drifting
ubout like a vessel at sea wiibout a rudder.

We would respectfully suggest to "X" nnd

besides necessitating the use of only one hand
in phiyjng making a fair thing of it.
KOSS.
A number of small, cheap and very in
flamablo frame structures wore burned near
ihe Centennial grounds on S.uurdny after
noon. They wore occupied by beer s lite ns,
restaurants, side shows, etc. The loss was
about $25,000. Some of the largo hotels
near very narrowly escaped.
The Committee of the Union Veteran As
sociation, haviug in charge the reunion of
Boys in Blue, it Indianpolis, the 20th and
21sl inst.. have issued an inviiaiiou tn the
soldiers and sailors who served iu (he Union
Army nnd Navy during the lstc war, and
all others in sympathy with the cause for
which they fought to be present.
In Somerset l'n., a few days ago, a little
two year old child of .Vr. Frank Walter met
with a very painful death by being scalded.
The child was playing jr the yard beneath
too Kiicncn window where (lie hired girl,
who had been boiling corn in the kitchen,
went to the window lo pour olf the boiling
water, and not seping ihe child, poured the
water all over it scalding the poorliltle one
so severely that it dild iu a lew hours after
ward. Ou Sunday hi-ht, the 27iU e.liinn, the
safe iu ihe Erie company's depot al lirad
ford, l'a. was blown open with a heavy
charge of powder, making a complete wreck
of it. The venture hardly paid expenses, as
the burglars only oltuined three dullars.
It appears that three men w ere engaged iu
ihe business, and that they walked dowu
the track to below Tarport, where they
went through a farm house ani captured
fifty dollars in uiouey. One of tho burglars
was afterwards captured atOlean.
RdwardGuuiperl, of Wilkesbarre, a phy
sician, has betn ar'esied and held lo bail
lor causing the death of ayoun girl named
.losie liallagher, by alleged malpractice.
Tlie Deiuocraiic L'orouer of Ihe country, 1.
J. i reiidergasl, steuis (o be implicated iu
(he cuunual irregularity by holding an in
foimal examination over the body of Miss.
Ualitigiie. and declaring lhat she had died
from heart disease. A Pout Mortem iu.
vesiigaiiou subsequently revealed (he fact
iliai .he gi.l'ri death was caused by an abor
iuu. inirtloid, Conn., September 10. On
Thursday, iu the town of Willingtun, two
girls, Kesie Oreeii, aged 1-1 years, and a
compau.ou, .Wiss Shurilelf, 17 years old
look strychnine with a suicidal purpose.
M iss Green died in tour hours. Just before
deulh she slated as her motive that no one
cared for her; that her dead mother was
Calling her, and she Was tired of lil'c. Miss
Shurtielfis alive, but still iu danger. Two
young men were present when tho fatil
dose was taken and were urged lo partake of
it, alihough they thought tho whole thing
was a joke.
Gov. Chaiubetlaiu, of South Carolina, has
issued a proclamation in regard to the re
cent disturbance in Charleston. He de
clares his determination to preserve the
peace aud the sacred rights of every citizen
to free speech and political action, and for
bids the presence upon (he street of armed
bodies of men, whether organized or no!.
Mayor Cunningham has issued a similar
proclamitiou. The Republican aud Demo
cralio committees of the city held a confer,
ence Saturday evening on this subject, and
both sides agreed that I hey would use
every effort to prevent any further disturb
ance. This fact should impel theiuanujrers
of tho national canvass to increasing
effort. As In tho campaign of '72, tlie
brunt of the tight must he borne by
the contestants iu the preliminary
elections, and it is their hands whieU
most need strengthening now. After
each party has made its own estimate
of strength, and reduced uncertainty
to the minimum, the nunieuiaie buttle
will he seen to be impending in
Indiana. As wo have already pointed
out, it is not absolutely necessary that
the Republicans should win there, but
it is vital to tho Democrats that they
should, and tiio smallest discomfiture
they may sutler there will tell aguinbt
them in November. Every ad van tage
of position, therefore, belongs clearly
to ourselves, and with properly con
centrated . effort victory will not be
doubtful. With a weaker foe in 1870
than we overcame in 1S72 success lieti
fstill juorc evidently within our grasp.
A TRIP TO ALTOON'A.
We arrived duly nt Alltoona, on tho
evening of tho 30t h of September via.
Lock Haven nnd Tyrone. We board
ed the enrs of tho Raid Engle R. R.
at Lock Haven, running through
Raid Eagle Valley all tho way to Ty
rone; ehnnged enrs nnd rode up to Al
t ootid, on the P. C. R. R. a distance of
about fifteen miles. Altoona is a City
of about 10,010 Inhabitants und is
noted for tlie extensive Car Bhops of
tho 1. C. It. It. Company, where
everything Is manufactured that be
longs to rail roads. Tlie Hhops nro all
enclosed with a high fence, und no
one can enter unless he has a permit
from tlie Company. The highest
number of workmen employed at any
time was ubout 3,000. At present
about 1,500'J are employed on eight
hours time. A great part of the city
is built up by poor men, employed by
the Company, and consequently most
all the houses are small frame build
ings. There are a few exceptions.
The Logan House Is a very large
und extensive building, located ut the
depot. We noticed also i splendid
mansion, 4uilt by a certain bankrupt
banker, witli the money belonging to
the poor people. The Presbyterians
are building a splendid nnd costly
church on 8th Avenue.
On the morning of the Oth inst-, we
took the cars for Uells' Millssix miles
east. An ofl'er was made by Mr.
Kamsey a very generous gentleman of
that place, to those that attended
Synod, a ride up the Allegheny
mountain. At Hell's Mills we noticed
the beautiful little cars with the words
"Bells Gap K. It.". Your correspon
dent, with about twenty others, both
clerical and lay, entered the ears and
had one of the grandest rides, we ever
enjoyed, up the mountain to Slodsville
to the coal mines on top of the moun
tain. In going up some of the grand
est scenery is beheld that human eyes
can look upon. Tlie grade is 15U feet
to the mile. The road is eight miles
and a half long. In making tlie as
cent we crossed a tleep ravene over
which is a trusle work 7o feet high,
and aoo feet long, over which the cars
run very slowly. On the curve
around the mountain we could seethe
track 300 feet above us; we had to go two
miles and then it was laoo feet across
Finally we arrived at I b'.lodsvillo where
our company took seats in the coal
and were conveyed one mile into the
'"bowels of the earth" to the working
rooms. This bed of coal is 21.S0 feet
above the ocean level, and 1120 feet
above Hell's Mill. The coal vein that
is worked averages about live feet.
There are also six other veins part of
them workable and part of them not;
under tlie coal bed there is about three
feet of lire clay. The average dip is
three and a half to four feet to every
hundred feet. About 23, 010 tons of
coat have been taken out since
July, 1870. Having seen all that was
lnlni'.w)i.i(5 '4 i.t.iito(l ti'-,vi tlie
mountain ''a kiting," without a loco
motive, our company being divided
and placed ou two Mpaiato cars. It
was a grand sight to see those on the
car before us, shooting along liJ-.e an
anew, and when we came near the
t re.-t ic work We looked down the 300
J'eet tiiTo-?s the ravine. How ihey
flew down the opposite hill side,
all at once we run right on them, they
having stopped to cat huckleberries,
plenty of them there. Just about
noon we arrived at Heli's Mills again.
Mr. Kamsey invited our company to
enjoy his homo for several hours un
til train time. Mrs. liamsey had the
table loaded with good things for the
inner man aud we had a "free pitch
in." The company engaged them
selves in discoursing music for we had
several musicians among us. When
the trains came we went eat and
we.-t.
We would udvise any one if they nre
not done sight seeing in this Centen
ial year take a ride up to Slodsville.

A LETTER FROM FARLEY.
'Wheat ic Chess."
Earley, Elk Co. Pa., Kept. 11th, 1870.
Mtt. Editor, Strange as it may
seem, to the minds of some thinking
men, it is nevertheless afoot that un
der certain circumstances chess is pro
duced from wheat, i. e. the natureof
the wheat by some means is ehanyed,
so as to produce a stalk of cunn.
Xow, I know this lo be a fact. On
one occasion I sowed wheat quite late
in tlie full, a portion of the field was
wet, and tlie wheat on that portiou
did not mature well, and there was a
good many stalks left on the ground,
some of which lay there all the ycor.
The following year, after, I went
through tlie lot, and noticing stalks of
chess, I took pains, as it happened, to
trace the roots of tho chess to the old
wheat head of the former year, whieli
was still intact, showing plainly that
the wheat had sprouted while remain
ing in the chad', upon or in the wheat
head, and above (round and whero it
stood a good chance to get rather rash
treatment from exposure to heat and
cold, during tho sprouting process,
which no doubt, to some extent,
would change its nature. Now I claim
that this is no more a "miracle," than
is Progression," or "Idiocy" with tho
offspring of an intellectual "paren
tage." I claim that there is somo dif
ference in thenaturo of wheat that is
"fully matured" und that that is
"cut down" while in the "milk.
.rl&oee acrid wheat heads were not mu
tured. Respt. fcc, ENOS HAYS.
It is said that Mr. Tilden's physical
condition is about as uucertuiu as that
of Mr. Seymour, and it is notorious that
the work of the campuigu has been in
trusted mainly to the "Literary
llureau" in Liberty street. Tlie gen
tlemen in charge of that establishment
are Mr. W. S. Andrews, the sou of Mr
Stephen Pearl Andrews, belter kiiowu
us lite "Pantarch," aud Mr. Peltoti, a
nephew of (Jovirnor Tikkn. Xcw

MILLSTONE NOTES.
Millstone, Elk County Pa. Sept. 11, '70
Henuy A. Parsonh, Jk. Editor
of the Advocate. Sir; Having
noticed iu your paper that you desire
local news from tho different portions
of tho county, I tako the present op
portunity to give you a few notes from
Millstone.
Tlie shingle Mill of A v'ni. Crispen,
Harrali, & Moores, was burnt on
Saturday, the t'lh, about 4 o'clock.
Loss about $3, o00, the mill is situated
about two miles north of tlie mouth of
Millstone ercek,and has been running
for tlie last two months nt an average
of about sixteen thousand shingles
per day, running only in daylight.
The shingle mill was a good one and
was built only last winter, but, like
most all steam mills was of short
duration. .Mr. Dayley, the sawyer,
shut the mill down at noon, on Satur
day, and till of tlie hands und himself
lelt the mill. After dinner there were
no signs of fire about the mill only the
lire at the waste pile some five or six
rods distant. About four o'clock Mr.
Dayley, and Sumuel Drandon, a
teamster, went lo the mill and found
it enveloped in flumes, and too far
gone to do anything with it, but they
succeeded in saving all the shingles
that were at the mill with the excep
tion of ubout fifty thousand. The
mill was insured for $1,7000 about one
half the loss. It will probably be re
built but will throw eight men out or
employment for some time.
We have had u very dry fall in this
section of the county, but lately have
been blessed with several small
showers.
The oats, und polatoe crops, will not
be over one-half of the former yield.
Upon Sunday we hud a very mod
erate rain, but how far it extended we
do not know, but hope it will extend
fur enough to bring a rise in the river
as there is u considerable amount of
timber now rafted in awaiting its com
ing, which would financially retrieve
a great many and brighten business
through this section of the country.
We have had considerable sickness
in this locality. The disease being
diphtheria, and mostly among the
children. Mr. Harrison Cats buried
one of his children on the Oth inst.,
the other two are recovering.
Political items are scarce, and but
little is said. The citizens of Claring
ton formed a Hayes 6c Wheeler Club
Satttrdcy night, und got thirty mem
bers, and some who were formerly
Democrats but are tired of New York
reform.
CITIZEN.
The result has shown that all the
talk we have heard lately, or read iu
print, of the unpopularity of (ov. Rice
and the probabilities of "his defeat in
the Convention, had no substantial
foundation, that his popularity with
the party is unimpaired, and that he
will carry as many votes, with a
single c.ici-iiikui, as any man in tho
li r ! y . Boston Jcra lit .
A ilayes and Wheeler pole two hundred
and fitly feet long was be ing raised at Lan
caster, Ohio, on Saturday evening, about
live o'clock, and when ihe lop had reached
an elevaliou of nbom one hundred feet tho
rope brolto and ono of the derricks fell,
thai-ley DinUle, Geo. Fink, Chas. ilulTiiian
and (Jeo. Martin were injured, und the lirsl
three minted have since died. Murtin es
caped with a Mokcr. leg. The greatest x
cileiiicul was caustd by the ruuur lhat Ihe
ropes had been cut by politic il oppou cut,
but this is not credited.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany's steamer City of Pekin made
tlie remarkable passage from Yoko
hama to San l'aaiicisce, u distance of
.1,000 miles, in lilt ecu days, arriving at
tlie latter port September 7, this being
a daily average of H37 miles, or four
teen knots per hour.

It is observed that pi-opie on tho

Tilden's income in lr,2, It is
claimed, reached $108, out), yet he swore
his taxable income was only $7,118 in
Hint time.
The llaltimorc Gazette threatens to
oppose "Minute Men" to the lioys in
Ulue. That kind of talk is at least
eleven years too late.
Democratic papers nre changing
their tone A lortniVht ago ihey
brnirired and blustered; to-day they
threaten or appeal for votes.
Wonder if Tilden wanted Wada
Hampton nominated for Governor in
youth Carolina "for tho sake, of tho
outside eileet?" New York Tribune,
The two great Bens at the next ses
sionofCongresswill be Hen Uutler nnd
lien Hill. The Keptiblican minority
will feel its though it might have been
worse, I'rcm.
The Northern 8tntes alone are going
to elect Hayes and 'Wheeler. The
Southern "people" hnd better accept
this ns a fact and come iu and help
swell their majority.
Mr. IJhiine is to make his first
speech in Indiana, with (Jeneral lien.
Harrison, at the grand rally at tho
Tippeeiinoe ltattle-ground on the 2iith

Tlie result of the Vermont election
shows a Kepublienu gain of nearly

lost their only mate (Senator und

Curl Schuris is meeting witli ova

his (.ienuan fellow-citizens. He ad
dressed ns many as could get to hear
him, some three thousand in number,
in Chicago last night.
Charles Francis Adams accepts the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of Massachusetts. The Uoston papers
say that Rice is stronger than wljeii
he ran two years ago, and that Adams'
nomination gives them no concern.
North Carolina Democrats nU'ect to
be indignant at the sending of Federal
troops into the (South, but in July,
LSoi, Vance, the rebel Governor, now
their cancidale lor Governor, sent
armed soldiers to the polls, ostensibly
to keep desefters from voting or dis
turbing the election.
Complete returns of the Vermont
Gubernatorial vote have been received
and give Fairbanks 44,r82, bingham

Lower House give the Republicans;
205, Democrats ol, amino choice 5; a
Democratic loss of 2a.
The Chicago Time speaks of "Ver
mont and other remote places.'' This
calls to mind the surprised ejaculation
of a backwoodsman iu the wilds of
Maine, who when told by an amateur
sportsmna that his home was in New
York, exclaimed, 'Why 1 shouldn't
think you'd like to live so far oil'."
The Richmond (Va.) Whig says:
"It is no concern who were in array
against the Union ten years ago, all
have beenamnestlcd and placed on tho
sunie equal footing before the law,"
And yet tlie ircVandall the Tilden
allies in the .South are continually
complaining of the "harsh terms" im
posed upon me houin.
Tho Maeon, Georgia, Telegraph is
Democratic, but it is honest enough to
admit that Governor Hayes is "a very
estimable and honest gentleman per
sonally worthy the suttrage of any man
who believes he is adapted to the ex
alted position he uspires to, and the
extraordinary emergencies which ho
will be required to meet.
Wendell Phillips thinks great
tilings of tlie higli-stepping South
erner, whom lie describes as a shrewd,
able, unmatched politician, und pro
phesies that, though we "'beat him on
the battle lield, he will beat us ut the
ballot box. It will occur to most peo
ple that we shouldn't have met him
on the battle Held in 18ul if we hadn't
beaten him at the ballot box iu lbtiO.
!So Then! Some of the Tilden or
gans boldly assert that unless their
candidate is elected iu November "a
revolution must follow." That is just
the way they talked in 1800, and tho
result is known. Do they again mean
what they say? If so, let the loyal and
patriotic men of tlie country be pre
pared for the contest with these rebels
and traitors. By the Eternal, the
Union must und shall be preserved!"
Has South Carolina received its
"bar'l of money" already? It would
seem so from the Ueaufort correspon
dence of the Charleston Xeivs, wiiich
says: "This is the lirst occasion that
tlie Democratic party has had tlie ad
vantage here of being financially bet'
ter prepared lo wage an election con
test that its adversaries. The Repuh
licansare all dead broke, and there is
no money among them. Our resour
ces this time will enable us at least to
hold u hand with funds necessary to
conduct tho conipaign with vigor."
Tlie Democrats of Des Moines, Iowa,
nominated Mr. D. A. Kent for County
Clerk, but he declines, refusing longer
to net with that party because (among
other reasons) the voice of Northern
Democrats echoes everywhere in de
fense of Southern outlaws and in ex
cuse of their crimes, und because tho
ex-rebels are using eve.iy effort to se
cure payment for lite loss of property
destroyed on uecount of their own dis
loyalty and treason to the Govern
ment, thus taxing the property of tho
dead soldier to reimburse the traitor
who killed him.
This is the way the Massachusetts
and Connecticut nominations ttriko
tlie New York 'Tribune: "Two more
excellent ligure-heada. In Massachus
setts, Mr. Charles Francis Adams; in
Connecticut, Mr. Richard D. Hubbard.
But we beg the voters of Massachusetts
ami Connecticut not to allow their at
tention to bo distracted from tho
character of the ship and the appear
ance of her crew by the ligure-head
she bears. Let every voter in each of
these States put to Himself this test:
Who and what ure the men who are
supporting these nominees? Are they
faucU men as you would like io see iu
power.' That is tho real question."
The Wilmington Del Commercial
of the 6th inst. says: "The tigures of
yesterday's election tell their own
story, und present tho most over
whelming result lhat hus ever been
achieved in this city. Tin? Republi

wards, elect nine out of tho eleven
Councilmen und eight out of the ten
Inspectors of Election, but have a
total majority iu ihe city entirely un

carried Wilmington, under exceptional
circumstances, by so much as six or
seven hundred, but their majority on
tho Council vote yesterday is over
twelve hundred, and fulls little below
