The excitement of the Week was
on Monday afternoon last. Eighteen
prisoners were taken froth the jail to
the Court room for sentence and after
the Judge had spoken his "little
piece" to them the Sheriff with the
assistance of two or three deputies
marched them out 'with a view to
again placing them In durance vile.
Everything passed off lovelv until the
gang reached the point at which they
snouin turn to go up mto the "iusr"
Vhch the two head ones, White and
Hurley, sprang like deer and went
down the street like the wind. The
Sheriff, Dnn. Eastbrook, and '-Judgy"
bartwell took chase, while Mart.
Smith, Constable Burlingame and
other assistants took charge of the
remaining sixteen and by threats of
mashing their heads prevented a
general stampede and finally suc
ceeded in petting them inside. In 'the
meantime Dan. was flying through
the air like an arrow closely followed
by "Judgy", who occasionally sent a
bullet in the way of a warning for the
convicts to stop. They were finally
overtaken below the residence of L.
W. Mason, and after a hard struggle
in which Dan. turned several sum
mersaults through a hoop, and
punched the "daylights' out of
one or two of the performers they
wero secured, placed in a wagon and
brought back to jail. A brother of
one of them, Hurley, was arrested for
aiding In the escape, and put in the
lock-up where he will remain until
next term for tral. Smetbport
Miner.
The Boston Journal publishes a
letter by Mr. James O. Lyford, a
prominent young lawyer of Tilton,
New Hampshire, who announces his
attention of working hereafter for the
Republican party. The Journal says:
"Hitherto Mr. Lyford has been one of
the leaders among the Democracy of
the Granite State, and his change of
political sentiment will be both a sur
prise and a sorrow to the members of
that party. He was at one time politi
cal editor of the New Hampshire
cople, the leading Democratic organ
of the State, holding the position two
years. He first became prominent in
politics in 1876, about which time he
was elected a member of the Constitu
ional Convention, where lie distin
guished himself by marked ability.
In Tilton and vicinity he exerts a
strong influence, and his conversion
to Republicanism will be of much
value to that party, especially iw in re
sulted purely from convietiou, and as
Tilton is fighting-ground.

Drowning Accident.
A sad drowning accident occurred
near the Duguscahonda saw mill Mon
day morning last at about 7 o'clock.
The facts as we learn them from eye
witnesses are substantially as follows:
James Baker, aged about 25 years, un
married and a native of St. Stephens,
iCew Brunswick, had been In the em
ploy of Mr. Lock, at Daguscahonda,
for three months and a half. On the
moffilng In question lie complained of
feeling 111, and said he would go to
Ridgway for some medicine. Sad
dling ft horse lie started for Ridgway,
and as he was crossing the bridge
above the mill, lie met a team loaded
with bark. Endeavoring to pass the
loaded team the horse and rider by a
mlastept were thrown Into the water.
Tlio bridge Is very narrow and high
up from the water, while the water is
from ten to twelve feet deep. The
mahWftci horse went down to the bot
tom of the stream like lead, and com
ing to the surface, again went down.
At this juncture parties on the bridge
yelled to him to let go as the horse
might hurt him. The drowning man
did as he was bid and said, "Boys I
can't swim help me.'' This was the
first lirC!naatidi anyone had that he
could not svvfm. The parties on the
bridge were too badly frightened to
even throw the man a plank, yet he
was not over fifteen feet from them.
They tried to reach blm with a pole,
but too late as ho sank to rise no more.
Chris. Maize, endeavored three times,
but in vain, to reach the man at the
bottom by sinking down feet first.
The water was considerable riled up
making it impossible to see the body
of the drowned man. L. N. Egglos
ton came up in -a few minutes and
with a pike-pole succeeded in getting
hold of the mail's boots and hauled
him to the surface. He was rolled on
a barrel and 'every effort made to
bring hiul to life without avail. By
request of his brother he was taken to
Wilcox yesterday fcfid buried. He in
tended to finisfh out four months time
with Mr Locke, and tlicn go west. He
was an industrious young man, and
well liked by all hTa'associates.

Ex-Congressman Sneer and late
Chairman of the Pennsylvania State
Democratic Committee, In a speech for
Hancock at Pittsburgh, said: "This
is my first utterance slf-ce the Chicago
nomination, and I desire to say right
here, that I served four years in Con
gress with General Garfield. I know
him well, and I honor him for his
honesty, his integrity, his ability, his

character." It will take a good deal

ment. The second tribute is by Con

About a Game of Makiii.ks. A boy
killed his playmate, at Reading, Pa.,
on the 27th Inst. The particulars are
thus telegraphed to the daily papers,
which should prove a sad warning to
ill tempered boys : A fatal quarrel took
place Saturday at Ninth and Oley
street, in Reading, Pa., between
Robert DivWr.aged 12 years, a son of
Joseph Divver. baggage master at the
Reading railroad depot, who resides at
No. 637 North Ninth ":rect, and a
Charles Hhv.melreieh, aged 11 years, a
son of D. S. Hiniiiielreieh, of No. "11
North Ninth street. It seems that
the two boys were playing a, game of
marbles and got into a quarrel, when
Himmeireieh picked up a large stone
flung it his playmate, striking hint in
the left temple. Divver immediately
sank unconscious to the ground.
Medical aid was summoned, but when
the physician arrived the boy was
dead. The lad, Himnielreicli
has Weil arrested to await the
action Of Uie Coroner's jury. The
chief 'of Police has a squad of police
guarding the hous'o Of Himmeireieh
to be used in ease of any disturbance.
The wildest excitement prevails in the
neighborhood where the boy was
killed. The only injuries visible on
the head of tin dead lad is an abrasion
of the , skin upon the temple, and
seveTal bruised on the face and fore
head, caused by his fall to the pave
ment'. William Maxley, brakeman on the
BuflaloRoad7 was severely injured at
Sartwell, yesterday morning, lie had
uncoupled some cars while they were
in motion, and by a sudden jerk he
was throw under the train, between
the rails about twenty cars passing
over him. One of the brake beams
caught his right foot, severing the soft
part bf tho foot and a part of the foot
joint making a'painfil wound. The
palui of his right hand was also se
verely torn. The Injured man was
brought to Emporium and is being at

The Republican Congressional
Conference which met at Lock Haven
last week nominated Thos. H. Murray
as the Republican candidate for Con
gress from the 20th District, composed
of the counties bf Centre, Clearfield,
Ctintodf Elk( Mifflmana Union:
Republican Platform 18S0.
The Republican party, in National
Convention assembled, nt the end of
twenty years since the Federal Gov
ernment was first committed to Its
clinrire, submits to the people of the
United States this brief report of its
administration:
' It suppressed a rebellion which had
armed nearly a million of men to sub
vert the National authority f applause;
It reconstructed tho Union of the
Stntes with freedom instead of slavery
hs Its corner stone applause; it trans
formed 4,000,000 human beings from
the likeness of "thmsrs''. to the rank of
citizens applause; it 'relieved Con
gress from the infamous work of hunt
ing fugitive slaves, and charged it to
see that slavery docs not exist, ap
plause; It has raised the value of our
paper currency from 3S percent, to the
par of god applause; it had restored,
upon a solid .basis, payment In coin of
all national obligations, and has given
us a currency absolutely good and
equal In every part of our extended
country, applause; It has lifted the
credit of the Nation from the point of
where 0 per cent, bonds sold at 80, to
that where 4 per cent, bonds arc
eagerly sought at a premium. Ap
plause. Under its administration railways
have increased from 51,000 miles in
1X00 to more than 82.000 miies in 170..
Applause. Our foreign trade in
creased from $700,000,000 to $1,130,000,
000 in (lie same time, and our exports,
which were $20,000,000 less than our
imports in I860, were $20.1,000,000 more
than our Imports in 1870. Applause
and cries of 'Good!!" "Good:!"
Without resorting to loans, it. has,
since the war closed, defrayed the or
dinary expenses of government besides
the accruing interest on the public
debt, and has disbursed annually more
than 30,000,000 for soldiers' and sail
ors' pensions. It has paid f-HSO.OOll.OOO
of the public debt, and, by refunding
the balance nt lower rates,' has reduced
the annual interest charge from nearly
SlOO.000,000 to less than 'JtM.OOO.OOO. Ail
the Industries of the country have re
vived, labor istn demand, wages have
Ineivr.s-od, ami throughout the entire
country there is evidence of a coming
prosperity creater than we have ever
enjoyed.' Upon this record the Re
publican party asks for tho continued
confidence and support, of the people,
and this convention submits fi'-their
approval the following statement of
the principles p ud purposes which will
continue to guide and inspire its
efforts:
1. We affirm that the work of the
Republican party for the last twenty
years has been such as to commend it
to the favor of tiie nation; that the
fruits of the costly victories which we
have achieved through immense i iti
culties should be preserved; that the
peace regained should be cherished;
that the Union should be perpetuated,
and that the liberty secured to thi
generation shout", be transmitted un
diminished to other fceiitUAic-iis; that
the order established and the credit
acquired should never no impaired;
mat t no pensions promised should be
paid; that the debt so much reduced
should lie extinguished by the full
payment of every dollar thereof; that
the reviving industries should be fur
ther -promoted, and that the com
merce already increasing should be
encouraged.
2. The Constitution of the United
States is a supreme law, and not a
mere contract. Or:t of confederate
States it made a sovereign nation.
Some powers are denied to the nation,
while others are denied to the States,
but the boundary between t lie powers
delegated and tho.se reserved is to be
determined by the National, and not
by the Slate tribunal. Cheers.
3,. The work of popular education
is one left to the care of seveinl States,
but it is the .duly ;:f IV. e National
Government to aid that work to
tlio extent of its constitutional
ability. The Intelligence of the
nation is hut the aggregate of the in
telligence in the several States, mid
the destiny of the nation must be
guided, not by the genius of any one
State, but iv 'ho average geuius'of all.
Applause,
4. The Coiistiluiiofi wisely forbids
Congress to make any law respecting
the establishment of religion, but it
is idle to hope that iliu nation can be
protected against the influence of
secret sr?tarinism, while each State is
exposed to its domination. Wo, there
fore, recommend that the Constitution
be so amended as to lay the same pro
hibition upon the legislature of each
State, and to forbid the appropriation
of public funds to the supliorl of a c
tarian K'lro!s". Vhecrs.j
3. We reaffirm the belief avowed in
1S70 that the duties levied for the
purpose of revenue should so di- crini
inate as to favor American labor
(cheers); that no further grants of the
public domain should be made to any
railway or oilier corporation; that
slavery having perished in the Stales,
its twin barbarity, polygamy must
ilie in the Territories; that 'every where
the protection accorded to a cil'i.cn of
American birth must be secured to
citizens by American adoption. That
we deem it the duty of Congress to de
velop and improve our seacoast and
harbors, but insist that further sub
sidies to private persons cr corpora
tions must cease, lelieersi; that the
obligations of (lie Republic to the men
who prei-crved its Integrity in tho day
of battle are undiminished by the
lapse of fifteen years since their final
victory. To do them honor is and
shall forever be tho grateful piiviltge
anil sacred duy of the American
people.
0. Since the authority to regulate
immigration and intercourse between
the United States and foreign nations
rests with the Congress of the United
States and the treaty making power
the Republican party, regarding the
unrestricted immigration of Chinese
as a matter of grave concernment
under tho exercise of both these
powers, would limit and restrict that
immigration by the enactment of such
just, humane, and reasonable laws
and treaties as will produce that re
sult. 7. That the purity and patriotism
which characterized the earlier career
of Rutherford 1J. Hayes in peace and
war, and which guided the thoughts
of our immediate predecessors to him
for a Presidential candidate, have con
tinued to Inspire him in his career as
Chief Executive; and that history
will accord to his Administration the
honors which are due to an cllicient,
just, and courteous discharge of the
public business, and will honor his
vetoes interposed between tho people
and attempted partisan laws. Cheers.
8. We charge upon the Democratic
party the habitual sacrifice of patriot
ism and justice to a supreme and in
satiable lust for olliee and patronage;
that to obtain poscssiou of the
National Government and control of
the place, they have obstructed all
elibrts to promote the purity and to con
serve the freedom of the sulliage, and
havedelsed fraudulent be Hots, and in
vented certification of returns; hu vela
bored to unseat lawfully elected mem
bers of Congress, to secure at all
hazards the vote of a majority of
States in the House or Representa
tives; have endeavored to occupy by
force and' fraud the places of trust
given to others by the people of
Maine, rescued by the courage and
action of Maine's patriotic sons; have,
by methods vicious In principal and
tyrannical In practice, attached par
tizan legislation to appropriation bills
upon whose passage the very move
ment of Government depended; have
crushed the rights of the individual:
have advocated the principles and
sought .the favor of the Rebellion
against the nation, and have endavored
to obliterate the sacred niemorle and
to overcome the Inestimably valuable
result of nationality, personal freedom
and Individual equality.
The equal, and steady, and complete
enforcement of the law, and the pro
tection of all our citizens In the enjoy
ment of all privileges and Immunity
guaranteed by the Constitution, are
the first duties of the nation. Ap
plause. The onngersof a "solid South" can
only be averted by a faithful perfor
mance of every promise which tlio na
tion has made to the citizen. Ap
plaus. The execution of the laws,
and the punishment of all those who
violate them, are tlio only safe meth
ods by which an enduring peace can
be secured anil genuine prosperity es
tablished throughout the South. Ap
plause. Whatever proimVj the na
tion make the nation must perforin.
A nation cannot with safety relegate
this duty to the Slates. The ''solid
South" must 1)0 divided by the peace
ful agencies of the ballot and all hon
est opinions must there .find fire ex
pression. To this end the honest voter
must be protected agaiubt terrorism, or
fraud. Applause.
And we affirm it to Jo the duty and
the purpose of tha Rept'-blisKin party
to use ail legitimate nubus to restore
all the States of this Union to the
must pefeet harmony Which mny be
possible, and we submit to the practi
cal, sensible people of these United
State s to say whether it would he dan
gerous to (he dearest interests of our
coimtiy at this time to surrender the
administration of the National Gov
ernment to a parly which seeks to
overthrow the existing policy under
w hie! i wo are so prosperous, and thus
lirin.r 'Hstntst tni! confusion where
there is "tow order, confidence and
hope. Applause.
The Republican party, adhering to
the principles .".Hirmed by its last Na
tional Convention of respect for the
constitutional rules governing ap
pointments to olliee, adopts the de
claration of President Hayes that the
reform of the civil 'sen ice should In

We clip the lollowing from the Phil
adelphia Record of the 2U.
. An extraordinary surgical opera
tion was performed yesterday in this
city upon a Mrs. iiuriicll, a dwarf who
has for years been making a living by
traveling with shows throughout the
country. She is forty-two inches in
bight and !!2 years old. Her husband
is also a dwarf. A boil t seven weeks
ago M rs. Rurncll, knowing that she
was about to become a mother, called
upon several physicians. Investiga
tion developed the fact that owing to
her peculiar deformity, it would be
liiiposiibF for her to give birlli to a
ciiiid in the usual manner.
At first it was thought the best plan
io have the woman submit to acranio
logical opperalion. by which the head
wcild be crushed and the child re
moved in pieces, but the physicians
discovered that on account of the for
mation of the pelvic bones this would
also be impossible, Then the Cesa
rean operation was determined upon.
Early yesterday morning the physi
cians, to the number of nearly a dozen
arrived at the residence, on Seventh
street, below Spruce, where the unfor
tunate woman was stopping. Shew-as
somewhat nervous, but resolute
and determined.
Dr. Rickards was the chief operator,
assisted by Drs. E. II. liell, Smith,
Henry, Stuart and other's. Mrs. liur
nell wu.s placed under tlio iutlueneu of
ether and the operation began, and
proceeded with according to l'orro's
method. An incision was made on
the median line of .the abdomen, and
the abdominal walls w ere cut through.
Tho womb was removed, i:n incision
made in il to corrcsnnhd with those in
i the abdominal walls, and the infant
I released.. After that, the womb was
restored to its bed and cN'M-d, and the j
j other parts brought together. The
I clothing and ail articles in tin- room
' were subjected to a solution of carbolic
acid spray, according to l.yster's
methods, during the operation.
Tiie pulse of the woman remained
excellent tiiroujrh'out the whole of this
severe trial, an:? r.ll her symptoms
were favorable. The child was alive
at a late hour last night, was vigorous,
and gave promise of being counted in
the next census. The mother had not
returned to consciousness at 10 o'clock
but her condition was such that the
physician firmly believe that she will
recover, unless peritonitis occurs.
Under the system pursued by the
doctors both mother and child have a
chance for life, but hail the craniologi
cal operation been performed there is
no doubt but that both would have
died. Such an operation has not been
performed in this city for a number of
years, and the condition of the mother
will be watched with iuterest. The
child weighs about six pounds.
Chicago, fVtotfer 8' A dispatch
from Quiney, III., says that about live
o'clock last evening a young man
named Sellers, living with a family
named Raker, six miles from New
Canton, during linker's absence front
home, insisted tiiat the daughter, fif
teen years of age, to whom lie had ba
conic attached, should promise to
marry him. This was refused where
upon he drew a revolver and after
first shooting tho dog immediately
shot the mother, then the girl whose
hand he sought. He next placed the
pistol to his own temple and fired.
Every shot proved fatal. . A younger
daughter witnessed the tragedy and
gave the above facts ill her testimony
before the coroner's jury;
We do not join in the general in
dignation over the news that the
southern states are publishing Demo
cratic school books in which Lincoln
is denounced as an usurper aud the
late war as an oppression. A
great deal lias been gained when a
Democrat 1ms been taught to read, and
the announcement that Democracy has
taken sufficient interests in educution
to publish sehool books of any kind is
an indication of improvement. Of
course Democracy can publish school
books only after its nature. AVilliani
