"People who live In glass house should
never throw stones."
Our friend Miller of the Democrat,
should commit the above homely
adage to memory, and when, an
awkward sentence or a small gram
matical error creeps into the com
munication of a correspondent of one
of his contemporaries; a correspon
dent who probably has never passed
into the front and out the back door
of a college or had his understanding
sharpened by polishing the shoes of
the students; instead of spending Ills
time and wasting Ids ink, for the pur
pose of pointing it out to his readers,
he should take from Ills file thecmo
crn of Sept. 21st, read carefully his
urticle headed "Republican Co. Con
vention," and t-hould any of the
"Lindley Murray" which was ham
mered into his head in his school boy
days still remain he will discover that
deeply as he may be versed in the
rules of English grammer he makes
blunders that would bo unpardonable
in the composition of an ordinary boy
of 12 years. Where is the grammer
that teaches him to use the indicative
torm of the verb in the subjunctive
mode, or to use the nominative case of
a pronoun as the object of a preposi
tion?
Fie on you Gene: Cast out the
beam in your own eye, before you
worry about the mote in that of your
neighbor. We will lend you a boy of
12 summers if you desire it to correct
your Mss. before it goes into the hands
of the compositor, though we can but
poorly spare him at present as we arc
cutting our corn and digging our
potatoes.
NO PEDAGOGUE.
Brandon of the Gazette, in his last
Issue gives currency to a canard, started
originally by some swill-milk paper in
Sandusky of the Democratic persua
tion, charging Gov. Hayes with fraud
and perjury in his tax returns, of old
horses, watches, &c. It appears the
slander did not live 24 hours, and was
virtually dead two weeks ago, and dis"
missed by all respectable journals'
Neutral, and Independent, as well as
Democratic.
Williumsport, September 24. In
Forest county, on Thursday, the
mountain streams became greatly
swollen from the recent storm, the
waters flooding the partly-settled val
leys in the lumber regions and doing
much damage. Near Ralston sixteen
persons lost their lives. In McKeau
county the storm was of long duration
and severe. Two persons were
drowned near Smethport. In Tioga
county three lives are known to have
been lost, and it is authentically re
ported that four persons were drowned
while attemping to cross a swollen
stream ut-Wellsport.

The Democratic Spirit.
The spirit animulingthe Democracy
appears identical, whether it is ob
served ventilating itself through the
murder of negroes at Hamburg, mob
bing Republican speakers at Augusta,
Ga.; hurrahing for Jeff Davis and
Samuel J. Tildeii in Indiana; cheer
ing for the "lost cause" under a con
federate flag bearing the names of Til
den and Hendricks, in Kentucky and
Missouri; insulting Liberal Republi
can recruits, us Dorsheimer, in the
Saratoga convention; hiding the cow
ardly front behind the respectability
of Charles Francis Adams in Massa
chusetts, or soliciting instructions as
to the political duties of the Demo
cratic party from the patriotic private
secretary of the late President Davis,
C. S. A., who was imported into
Maine for that purpose. The char
acter of Democratic nominees for
United States and state oftieiufs, from
Tiiden down In this centennial year
of American independence, might be
cited as further proof, were it neces
sary to prove what is self evident to
intelligent citizens. Hardly a candi
date has been named by the party
north or south, who has not either a
confederate army record, or who is
not known to have been prominently
identified with the copperhead faction
in the north during the war; and
many of them are especially abhorred
aud detested by loyal men and women,
because of their leading part in the
atrocities practiced upon disarmed
prisoners of war at Audersonville and
other localities of rebel torture; in the
organization of Knights of the Golden
Circle; becuuseof their cordial approval
of Blackburn's method of reducing
the efficiency of the union armies,
through the propagation of yellow fe
ver and other fatal diseases, by infected
clothing; the fiendish murder of Presi
dent Lincoln in i860, and tens of
thousands of Republicans in the south
since. Is it a matter of any surprise
that the present campaign has been
and will bo fought to the bitter end on
precisely the issues that buried Sey
mour and Blair from sight in 1808,
when they were so presistently forced
by the lute confederate house and
kept steadily at tho front by the
Democracy, in their nominations and
niethodsof the campaign? Not a pa
per comes from the south that does
not contain a southern version of
some outbreak, terminating in the
murder of one or more Republicans.
Rebellion is openly advocated by some
of their more injudicious speakers
and papers. Among the latter the
Baltimore Gazette, which has become
so bitter in jts assaults on the govern
inent recently, that tho leaders felt
constrained, as a matter of policy to
admonish it to be less violent at this
particular time. These facto are suffi
cient to convince the people that thjeir
only safety, and the perpetuity of the
government,, liea in the election of
Hayes and Wheeler.
General Notes.
The Williumsport Sunday Times reoords
the fact that Mr. Thomas Cantwell, of that
ouy , a poor laboring man, and who works In
a stone-yard, hns fallen heir to about $8,000
by the death of an uncle in Missouri.
The Wheeler brothers who have been
working their lirm (clfim No 2) below
Gayville, on the Deadwood Creek, arrived
at Fort Laramie on Friday night with a paid
escort of twenty men. They bring as the
proceeds of seven months' work over $300,
000 and 1,000 pounds of dust.
Collector Cooper, of the Third district of
Arkatisif, reports a recent raid by his
deputies, with the Uuited States Marshal s
posee, on illicit distilleries in Newton
county. Four stills were seized aud
thirteen illicit distillers were arrested. A
laige quantity of mash was destroyed The
locality of this raid has been notorious for
the production nt "crooked'' whisky, and
the officers have hitherto met with much
resistance there. It is believed now that
the most lawless of them are in custody.
Washington, September 25. Tjo Nor
folk authorities threaten Baltimore's sttatu
boats With a rigid yellow fever quaratine.
A fatal epidetnio fever of some sort is uu
uoubtedly raging in Baltimore. As whs
the case in Savannah, every effort is being
made to suppress the real facts of the case.
A suspiciously large n 11111 be of persvns are
being sent to tho Baltimore hospital, and all
strange to say, are afflicted with ''lypho
malarial fever of an epidemic character."
Boston, September 24 Yesterday deleo
fives arrested 11 illiam Hurt on the charge of
purlo ning o'l the Olh, inst., $5,000 worth
of jewelry from the house of William H.
Kemble. et-State Treasurer of Pennsylva
nia in Philadelphia. Hart claims to be the
nephew of Mr. Kemble, but this is denied
by the latter. He pawned jewelry in New
York for $1,200, but had spent it all when
arrested. He will be taken to Philadelphia
on Monday.
Chicago, September 22. The bank rob

lieved that Cole Younger is the one who
was killed. Bob Y'ounger, or the man tup
po.ced to be him, is dangerously if not
falally wounded, as is another robber, name
unknown. The three living members of
the gang were confined in Mudelia jnil In si
night, but have stinted under guard. No
detectives and noue but countrymen were
engaged in the capture.
The recent suspension of the Miners'
trust co in puny bank, Pottsville, with lia
bilities of $1,500,000, and assets not
amounting to oue-eighth of that sum is
causing great distress. Want is beginning
to be felt by the poor, numbering hundreds,
who have been putting their savings in for
years and have been in the habit ot draw
ing out, at the approach of each winter,
what little was neccessary to help them
along when work generally was scarce.
Y'esterday a crowd ot women met the prei i
dent, Jacob Huntzir.ger, 011 Centre street
and demanded their money, al the same
time crowding and hustling him around un

History of the 105th Regiment.
Having gone to considerable trouble to
furnish, for "History ot the Pennsylvania
Volunteers," at the request of the Stat?
Historian, a sketch of the l"5ih P. V, we
found that owing to the abridgment of that
work, very little of the data .uruished was
used, and that a very unsativfaotory ac
count ot the regiment was given. We theu
yielded to the urgent request of members
and friends of the 105th, and agreed lo
fiuish and publish a complete "History of
the 105th'' in book form. In 1873 we had
the work almost ready for publication, but
owing to circumstanced beyoud our couuol,
we were obliged lo defer publishing it at
that time. But we have now concluded to
fiuish it, and having completed arrange
ments for its publication, as suou as the
work can be carefully revised it will be put
in the publisher's hands.
The work is designed to be a full history
of all the battles, marches, lie, participa
ted in by the regimeut; with a personul
record of eaoh man, biographical sketches
of all the officers, and copies of all official
reports as copied from the originals at
Washington. It is our desire to make the
work a complete, truthful and impartial
history of the regimeut; one that every
member of the regiment will be proud, to
hand down to his childreu. Then, soldiers
of the 105th, we call upon you to aid us by
at once seudiug us any taut, incidents, or
autidotes relating to yourselves, your com
rades, or the regiment iu geuerul. Look
up your old letters, diaries, &o., and send
us all the data you can before we make a
final revision of the work, it it your his
tory we are writing and we ask your aid tu
enable us to give you credit foi all the glory
you won.
The work will ooutuiu full page pari raits
of Cols. McKuight aud Craig, Lieuieuaul
Ureeoawalt, and two or three others of the
nne officers, aud already twelve portraits
for groups are proanicd. It is uecebbary
that the officers decide at once oonoeruiug
portraits, as the worn is now ready tor a
-final revision, all diti iiut be seut ia

CENTENNIAL LETTER.
T'rom our regular Correspondent.
Philadelphia, Sep. 25th, 1876.
"Who ever saw the like?" is what every,
body exclaims now. All previous accounts
of tho rush hiiherward have fuiled to convey
an adequate idea of Its extent at this writing.-
The incoming trains from every
direction are overloaded with humau
freight, and come pulling into the depots
beluud time. The hotels are packed lull
from ground to at.io Boors, and there is a
swarm of humanity blockading the streets
and surging into every place ct enterlnine
ment or amusement. People who intend
coming in the noxt few weeks will do well
to engage quarters iu advanoe, if they hme
notalitady done so The attendance on
the Exhibition grounds grows larger end!
day, and fiom present indications promises
to exceed the most sanguine expectation.
On Wednesday, for the first time since the
opening day, the number exceeded the
highest figure ever predicted, being over
100,000 visitors at full rates. At the
present rales of increase, with people still
pouring into to A n from every quarter, it
looks as though the attendance might reach
200,0n0 daily in another week. Even at
the average of last wee, from now till the
close, would make an aggregate of eight
ttud a halt millions of visitors. Thursday
was "New Yorn day." and brought many
thousand from the Empire stale. Gov.
ernor Tiiden held a reception in the New
Vorn state building, which was throngel
throughout I lie day "Pennsylvania day"
follows next Thursday, when the greatest
throng of the season is expected. The Hon.
Benj.il. Brewster will deliver an address, and
in Hie evening the graudeBt display of fire
works ever wnuessed on this coutiuent has
been arranged for 10 be supplied by a Lon
don firm.
The diBplay of minerals in various de
partments of the Exhibition makes, col.
leclively, one uf the most prominent and in
teresting features. That portion of this ex
hibit is chiefly the fruit of geological Bur
veys of the territories under Prof. Haydcn
and Major Powell.
Dr. llayden'B survey was begun in 18H7
with a sm it 1 1 appropriation of $5,000, made
by Congress for the examination of Ne
braska. Iu 18G9 it was extended lo
Colorado and New Mexico, with an in
creased appropriation of $10,000. Since
then, it has been going ou on a large scale,
and with increased usclulness until now.
This year's field work will be tho last, and
already some of the flual memoirs on speoial
KUhjccts have beeo priuted. Tne work has
been conducted in the most thorough and
systematic manlier, and it is surprising to
compare the results obtained with the com
puraiively sma'l amount of money ex
pcuded. The special memoirs are, with
out exception, from ihe pens of the most ac
complished specialists iu the country, and
(lie practical results of the survey in guid
ing the prospector and miner in their labors
are beyond estimate Among the most
attractive objects exhibited are the beaut i
fu.ly executed photographs of scenery, by
Mr. Jackson, the photographer of Ihe sur
vey, 'iheso are both on wood and glass.
There is also a scries of water-color
sketches, which convey much information
to the geologist, besides beiug a very credi
table work of art. The roups, bearing
dates 1873-4 and 5, evince great care and
accuracy iu their delineation of tho typo
graphical aud geological details. Tho
models ot the country explored, showing,
iu colors, the geological structure, convey
to the uninitiated a belter idea than could
be obtained from a library full of books.
Attached to the collection are a lot of
pottery of the Indians from the Muucos
cnuyou, aud models of tho ruins of the
luiliau houses in the canyon of the 1Uj du
Chelly as they now exist, and restored lo
show how they locked when occupied.
Tho Powell survey begun by un amateur
trip of Major Powell, iu 1807, in the moun
tain region of Colorado. Iu 1808, silmu.
luted by niiut ho saw on that summer's ex
cursion, ho organized un expedition for
further exploration, which continued in
1809. During these several excursions tho
piuii was conceived to explore the canyons
of the Colorado river. This has finally ex
panded into a detailed examination of Utah
und 1 lie reports will form a haudsome series
not inferior in execution, or in importance
to tho others being executed by tho other
purveys. Hut one vkIuuio of these reports
lias so far been published though Ihe othots
are under way, aud a series of the maps,
not yet issued by ihe department, is ex
hibited. Some of the diagrams, of which
there is a whole atlas, display a high degree
ot ingenuity in the maimer of execution, and
they nlusira.e iu a striking manner the
foldings and breaks of tlie strata over the
desert table lands of Utah. With them
I here is a model of about thirty thousand
tquare miles of the area of Utah culored
geologically and admirably doue. It would
be a praiseworttiy work ou the part of the
Government to cause to be made for the Na
tional Museum a complete scries of such
models illustrating the geology of the whole
country. The necessary inhumation exists
in great pari for this work in the reports of
the geological surveys of the several States
aud Territories aud but few spots would be
left blauk, eveL at the present state of our
kuoweledge, while the surveys going on
will soon supp y a',1 deficiencies, Tu s sur
vey also exhibits a large scries of photo,
graphs.
The space originally alloted in the Main
Exhibition building 10 the display of min
erals and mineral products of the United
Stales, although apparently liberal enough
was Boon found to be totally inadequate,
and two additional buildings were ercoted
in tne narrow area, Detweea tne main
struoiure and the street. In these are
placed the speciul exhibits of several of tho
Slates, and numerous contributions of cor
poral ions and private partios. Come of the
Mates heve been couienl to preieut to the
National Museum a series of their products,
bui, in several cases, as for instance,
Michigan, Kentucky, Ohiu, and Colorado
have tent other contributions ei'ber as
official state exhibits or as coming from in
dividuals. The Kentucky limestone, Ohio
saudstone, etc , are exhibited in various
shades and varieties. The new eoonomio
material, called carboualed stone, made
with a uarbouuling process, is well shown
aud gets a good deal of notice from parties
molested in the subject ot building ma
terials, etc
The Odd Fellows parade on Wednesday
was the grandest display ever made by this
order, there were 15,000 in line and
ihe procession ocoupied three aud a half
hours in passing a given point.
1 he band ot the oollosal bronio statute
Liberty Enlightening the World," re
cently sent over from Frauoe, is beiug
placed in position to-day on the Ex
position grounds, and attraots a large
crowd of admirers. This statue is the gift
of France to America, und when com.
pleted will stand upon an island in New
tork harbor. The hand holding aloft a.
torch is tho only portion of the statue that
has beeu completed as yet, and shipped to
this country. Ihe hand alone is a huge
monument, and towers above surrounding
objects like a giant among pigmies.
