The Oil City Derrick tells the fol
lowing tough Ftory: A cat, and a
Rouseville cat at that, lias outdone Dr.
Tanner in the fasting line. Mr. and
Mrs. Moin, who live at Rouseville,
left home in July to be absent several
weeks, leaving their house, as they
supposed, vacant. They returned the
last day of August, having been ab
sent thirty-nine days, and on entering
their house were surprised to find their
cat had been shut in one of the rooms
where it had remained during their
absence without water or food. It was
alive notwithstanding its long fast,
and may recover from the effects. In
its agony it had torn down the cur
tains, mutilated the walls as high as it
could reach, and showed other evi
dence of its sufferings. Now let that
cat lecture on what It knows about
Tasting.
Canned Fkcits. Every house
keeper who knows in herself how to
can fruits should read the following
extract from an exchange, and see if
the suggestion and facts recorded will
not in some way add to her ability in
future to prevent any fruit from spoil
ing. There are no doubt many, who
from year to year never have any
fruit to spoil; but there are also many
others who have the ill luck to be on
the other side. It Is short, but to the
point: "There arc In fruits and cereals
. three kinds of sugar, cauo sugar, glu
cose aud frucose all three newly al
lied, but still each one has peculiarities
of its own, and yet ono is easily
changed to another. In the growth
aud maturity of plants these are con-
ually changing. Cane sugar Is easily
changed luto glocose. When it is
used for preserving fruits, if the sugar
is boiled with the fruit, a large portion
is changed into glucoce, which is not
so sweet as the cane sugar and the
more acid there is in the fruit the
more sugar Is required, because the
- acids aid in converting the same
sugar into glucose. Cane sugar will
not produce alcohol, but glucose will,
and alcohol is very frequently created
in preserves lu which case the idea is
prevalent that there was not sugar
enough applied, when the - fact
is it was not properly used. If
the fruit is first boiled, then thex sugar
'brought to a boiliug heat, and the
fruit- put into the sugar, less of the
. Kucb.arine principal i will he required,
and t)ie fruit will be better preserved.

At about 0 o'clock on Tuesday eve
ning In.st, Mr. Joseph Luhr departed
tills life tho victim of heart-disease,
llo died sitting in a chair up:m the
porch in front of Hon, Chas. Lulu's
store, while enjoying his evening
cigar, after supper, as has been his
custom for years. Ho was conversing
with friends at this time, when sud
denly his head fell back, the cigar fell
from his mouth and a gurgling sound
issued from his throat and he was in
stantly dead. The shock to his wife
and children was terrible and to
tho whole of tho people of the town
severe.
Joseph Luhr was born in Forchheini
Breisgau, Baden on the 21st day of
December, 1800, being nearly eighty
years old, almost ten years beyond
tlie alloted time of man. He emi.
grated to America, arriving in the
month 'of May, 1S-M. He came di
rectly to St. Marys; which was a't that
time a little colony struggling for ex
Istancc. He suffered all the trials and
privations of the early settlers, and at
once, by his urbane manners, took
front rank among his fellow citizens.
He kept hotel in this town for many
years, and his fame spread far and
wide as a host. He never had any as
pirations, or held office, yet was Inti
mate with all the politicians of his
day. He was a devoted member of the
Catholic church, aud for many years
acted as trustee of the church in this
place. In fact he was ono of Nature's
noblemen, respected by all his ac
quaintances and loved by his friends
and relatives. He leaves an aged
widow aud three sons, ail grown to
manhood, with a host of grand-children
to mourn his sudden death.
His remains were fc llo wed to the
grave on Saturday morning by a large
concourse of citizens. Quite a nuiu-j
ber from Ridgway joined in the pro
cession, having arrived in town on a"
special train charterd for the occasion.
The St. Marys band headed the pro
cession playing a dirge. The deceased
we understand, had often expressed
his wisli that his funeral should be at
tended by music. A solemn requiem
mass was sung In the church, after
which the mortal remains of Mr.
Joseph Luhr were deposited in the
earth, the last resting place of all mor
tals. Peace to his ashes.
A gentleman just from Ohio says
of the situation iu that State:
"Ohio ia away beyond dispute, sure
for tho Republicans, and the people
who doubt that It is are sadly fooling
themselves. The obi fi
v .
animates the Republicans of the State
to-day, and thev are determined, na
far as they can do it, that no rebel
brigadiers shall dictate laws for them.
Ohio is the surest Republican State ou
the continent to-day."

Now and Then.
Company II at Brftddoek's Field.
One hundred and twenty-five years
ago, General Braddook, a gallant Eng
lish general, fell In a fight with tho
French and Indians. Disregarding
theadvicoof Col. Washington, his
aid-de-camp in a march to reach
Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburgh, be
was drawn into ambush, niid the man
ner of his death, and the phico have
slucebecomehlstorlc. Thelittletown of
Braddock on the-Monongnhela river
stands near the site of the ambuscade.
Opposite this village on a plateau rais
ing abruptly from the Monongahela Is
situated a large tract . of land "owned
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which is enclosed by a high
board fence. These grounds are used
for picnics and other purposes being
situated about twelve miles from
Pittsburgh, aud lu the midst of a
populous section, 'hundreds of people
avail themselves of this splendid site
for pleasure parties, the railroad com
panies making a nice thing by the is
suing of excursion tickets.
On these extensive grounds ami near
t,hls historic spot the 4th and 5th Briga
des of Pennsylvaniamilitia were order
ed into encampment to commence on
the 7th and end on the Uth day of Sep
tember, 1880.
The 4th Brigade Gen. Jas. A. Bea
ver, Is composed of the 5th, 10th, Uth,
and 18th Regiments.
The 5th Brigade Gen. H. S. Huido
koper, is composed of the loth, lGth,
and 17th Regiments.
There was also present at this in
spection Knapp's Battery, of Pitts
burgh, and the Titusvillo Battery.
Also one cavalry company on foot.
The inspections of the several regi
ments were held each day, that of the
17th Regiment coming on Friday.
Company H of Ridgway, started
from home on Monday mail, and
reached Driftwood late the same even
ing. The three-cornered town of
Driftwood with its miserable streets,
and poor accommodations, kept the
boys running from one hotel to an
other, all afraid to give us food and
lodgings for fear that, as we were in
uniform, some damage might bo done
to their magnificent hotels. They had
heard that soldiers were tough custo
mers. And it so happened that Co. 1 1
by reason of this bad name earned by
other soldiers came within an ace of
having to sleep iu the streets. Lodg
ing and supper were finally obtained
at the Kelso House, for part of the
company, the other hotels changing
their minds andiaking in the rest of
the orphans. The night was passed
quietly, (excepting tho noise and sing
ing) and at o'clock Tuesday morn
ing we were again on tho way, reach
ing Pittsburgh at H o'clock we lay
there until 7 o'clock in l lie evening
when a train containing the 17th Regi
ment, and composed of 20 cars took
us to camp at Braddock's Field, which
place was reached at about 10 o'clock.
The teats were all up -and ready to
be occupied. After drawing our blank
ets, one rubber anclT'HXO woolen fr
each man, the tired company lay
down to pleasent dreams, without
supper as no rations were to be had
until morning.
Wednesday morning as tiie last
note of the reveille had died away, the
boys wore astir, roll call was had, and
then a grand raid made on the com
misary's tent.
The rations consisted of bread, cof
fee, sugar, rice, beans, soap and can
dles, and fresh beef. Win. Morey
was designated as cook for Co H aud
in a short time breakfast was well
under way, and the boys helping
themselves to seats on the ground,
with great relish stored uway tho
government rations. The rest of the
day was passed by the boys in getting
straw for beds, cleaning guns, fixing
up inside of tents, &c. In the after
noon we had dress parade, and at
"taps" turned in for the night.
Thursday morning came cold and
gloomy with the sun cloud-hid and a
drizzling rain slowly wetting the
clothes and chilling the spirits of the
boys. All day the terrible drizzle
kept up. Tents were overflowed, mud
puddles formed in the streets of the
company, while boots were covered
with a thick mud. Even the straw
used for beds was thoroughly damp
ened, and when night came all hands
turned in to lay in wet clothes, and
with saddened hearts sought sleep,
only to hear all night on the canvass
that everlasting drizzle, drizzle, driz
zle. Friday morning the sun came out in
all its brightness, gladdening all
hearts and drying up the mud. In
the afternoon the 17th Regt. was in
spected, and we have no doubt the
report will be A No. 1. Co. H turned
out 39 men, one man (P. F. Mann)
being sick, the boys were all feeling
well. And with guns cleau, boots
blackened.overcoats rolled, knapsacks,
haversacks, canteens, and all iu good
order, eyes to the front, we have no
reason to doubt an excellent report.
Ou Saturday Gov. Hoyt arrived, es
corted by the 14th regiment. A salute
of 17 guns was fired in his honor. In
the afternoon the two brigade were
marched iu review before the Govern
or and Maj. General Hartranft.
Sunday the usual routine of camp
duties were gone through with.
Services wore held at Division Head
quarters. Dress parade in the after
noon, which was Witnessed by
thousands of spectators who came in
on special trains from Pittsburgh and
other places. ; ..
Monday morning the order was to
break camp at 7 o'clock. At 6 o'clock
the camp was all astir. Breakfast was
had.and after turning in our blankets, i
kettles, etc., and packing bard bread
and meat in our haversacks, we slung
our knapsacks and took up our Jine of
march, In irregular order for the
depot. Another rain, twin to the one
we had on Thursday .set in and helped
to make the boys happy. Through .
tho tardiness of the 10th regiment,
Col. Wiley, we were compelled to
wait on the platform, and in tho
cars for five hours before starting for
Pittsburgh. Twenty-one passenger,
and four baggage ears formed the train
which took us to Pittsburgh. Ou ar
riving the train stopped for a few
minutes. The train pulled out sud
denly, leaving (3a pt. Schcenlng, 2nd
Lieut. Woodward, Sgt. Kelts, Corp.
Gorton, and privates, Fitch, Aaron,
and White behind.
Arriving at Red Bank, after wail
ing some time a special train, with
the Superintendent of the road, Mr.
Jackson, as engineer, took us to
Reynoldsville. A telegram was re
ceived from Captain Schcenlng that ho
would be on hand by the Accommo
dation, and asking that the train be
held at Reynoldsvillej until lie came.
This request was granted, and we
waited until near nine o'clock at
Reynoldsville, when the Ac
commodation arrived containing the
lost men. Going with the accommo
dation to Driftwood we were attached
to a freight train, and arrived at
Ridgway at 0 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. Judicial Conferences.
The Greenback Judicial Conferees
of this district, composed of Warren,
Elk aud Forest counties, met at Irv
lneton ou Friday last and nominated
Hon. R. Brown, of Warren the Dem
ocratic candidate for President Judge
throwing their own candidate, George
A. Rathburn, Esq., of. Elk, the reg
ular announced Greenbacker over
board. Elk county's three conferees
and one from Warren voted for Mr.
Rathbun, while the other two from
Warren and Forest's three supported
Brown, and secured his nomination.
We understand the attempt was made
to make Mr. Brown's nomination un
amimous, but Rathburn 's four sup
porters refused to concur. Thus do
the Greenbackers show their boasted
principles. We have always con
tended that the Greenback leaders, so
called, were endeavoring to deliver the
party over to the Democracy and this
action proves conclusively that such is
the case, else why do they nominate a
straight-out-democrat in preference to
one of their own party who sought
the honor, and had the support of
four out of tho nine delegates. Had
Mr. Rathburn withdrawn from the
contest, or had they had no candidate
of their own, their action in the mat
ter would have presented an entirely
different aspect But that is the way
the machine has been working all
over; and in every case where a fusion
has been made it has been with the
Democrats.- It has been so on county
offices in both Warren and Venango
counties; it lias been so in the 20th
Congressional district, and it has been
so is this district. Isn't it' about time
the Republican Greenbackers were
getting a bite? We ask you, then, in
all candor and kindness io ponder
over this matter. Look before you
leap. Will you allow yourelves thus
to be led into the Democratic camp by
a few self-sty led "bosses" who imagine
they own the party?
Tho Democrats held their conven
tion at Warren on Monday and also
placed Hon. 11. Brown iu nomination.
It now remains to be seen whether or
not the honest Greenbackers, espec
ially the Republican portion of them,
will consent to be used as pack-horses
to transport grist to tho Democratic
hopper. It might be well to mention
so that the people will understand
fully, that the Greenback conferees
from this county were' ail Democrats
formerly. Forest Republican.
Peter Lamb, Esq., one of the
"Red Rock sufferers'' who has dis
graced our town by his presence for
months past, took it inio ids head to
strike a little son of Win. Irons ou
Monday, and the latter very properly
had Peter arrested and brought before
'Squire Ford. Peter was "chuck up"
and the Justice thought best to dis
pense with the charge of assault and
commit his Lauibsbip to jail until a
fine of three dollars was paid. Peter
allowed it would be a long lime
before the fine would be paid, but he
had not long remained in durance
vile, when his lovely wife, a beautiful
lamb not Mary's was soliciting
alms in favor of her old sheep, whom
she said had brought disgrace upon
the family by allowing himself to be
arrested and confined in prison. She
succeeded in raising the desired sum
and on the following morning the
flock emerged from the fold and went
forth again to battle with the world
and poor whiskey. McKean Miner.
Although "Tiideu and Reform"
were given the cold shoulder at Cin
cinnati, there is still an earnest though
quiet strife going on in some sections
of New York for supremacy between
the Tilden and anti-Tilden factions.

delegates to the Syracuse Convention
last spring the anti-Tilden wing gained
a victory, hence Tilden's best man,

they say. He is now marshaling his
followers for the fray and hopes to
pay off his enemies in full.
