contrary principles."
The following highly interesting
item we take from last week's Oazrtte:
We are under ohliga'ions to Hon. .1.
It. Brown for apolitical map of the
State. It is very valuable for refer
ence. For man it bus no equal. For
beast it Is not excelled. What? Ken
dall's Spavin Cure. See their adver
tisement. The Democrat say? that H. S.
Brockway, superintendent of schools
in Forest county take unh irgo. That
is bad for Brockway, to take such
stuff. Why don't he take salts, pills,
or other phy-ic of a milder nature
Umbargo is not ftt fur any one.except
Ing the e lltor of the Democrat to take
and we believe lie take magnesia in
stead. The following and annexed very
lucid and able paragraph ex
plains Itself as being one of the most
unintelligible pieces of writing thai
has appeared this century. It is
taken from the St. Marys Oaztttr:
Our county is fast becoming a mining
county anil in other mining counties
of the State, evening sessions of public
schools system of our common wealth
was framed with a broad, liberal spirit
and Its designer-, intrusted witii a
high mission were moved with a hiuh
purose to place the rudiments of
education within the reach of all
classes
The editor of the Democrat feels
grieved because we "studiously
avoided the mention of Gen. Han
cock's name," etc., in our descrip
tion of the trip to Washington. We
did not 'studiously avoid," etc.. but
even if we hul there is no particular
harm done. Hundreds of other men
were there, many as great as the late
defeated Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, whose names we did not
mention at till. Besides the gentle
man most talked of at the time of the
inauguration was not Hancock at all
liut Jus. A. Garfield and he was Inau
gurated too. Then. Mr Editor, of the
Democrat, why harp on Hancock.
Or, are you, as during the past four
years, sorry you are unable to say
"his fraudulency?"
Mtny thing worry the mind of
the amiable editor of the Dcmwrat
He is greatly troubled and scarcely
sleeps at night because Senator Cam
eron and Mitchell keep right on at
tending to their public b'Hiness not
withstanding the slurs and threat
make against them by the aforesaid
editor. Js'ow he has it again that
Cameron and Quay have : quarreled.
Then he remarks, "But, thank G.hI.
he has been relngntedin the shades .of
private life," Tills lie says of Presi
dent Hayes. That the word rctatattd
(italics are our) is a goo I word no one
doubts, that it is a new word is equally
plain as Webster fails to record the
word at all. The cares of running
the government must rest heavily on
the mind of the editor of the Demo
crat. And to conclude we hope
the friends of the distinguished gentle
men whom the little editor takes oc
casion to abuse will not allow I hem to
read the great Democrat as it might
turn out disastrously. Then they
might exert their influence to cut
dowu the circulation (?) of the Demo
crat in Washington, and that would
turn out disastriously for the Demo
crat. There is a way. however, to
compromise all these difficulties, and
we move that it be done, viz: When
ever these gentlemen, Senators, Rep
resentatives, etc , have a meeting that
Miller be consulted, then will all lie
lovely and the goose, thai same old
goose, hang high. The motion Is
carried, and notice is given that here

New Counterfeit Notes.
Look out for a new counterfeit five
dollar note It is an imitation or the
United States note series of 187-5, letter
D, small figure 14 under said letter;
John Allison, register; A. H. Wyman
treasurer. It is printed on localized
fibre paper, which is but little inferior
to the genuine, although somewhat
thicker The note is nearly one-half
an inch shorter than the genuine, but,
a far a examined, it i a fac simile.ex
cept that in the genuine, near the
treasurer's signature and in circular
form, is printed in red character.,
"Series of 1173;" also, near I he geo
metrical lathe denominational counter
containing the larger figure -5. In the
upper right hand corner of the face of
the note, in red colors, are the figures
"1S75." Neither of these imprints
appear on the counterfeit note,
although subsequent issues, !t I
thought may show the counterfeiters to
have supplied these delects.

lar, on the morning of March IS
About 8 o'clock in the moniiii,' Mrs.
t'lugston was awakened troni a deep
-lumber by a heavy current of air
passing through the room, and re
membering tiiat the door had been
carefully closed when they retired
felt intuitively that something was
wrong Arousing her husband tl.ey
discovered that the door was wide
open. Mr.Clugston arose to lo.ik at the
clock and close the door but be had
taken but a few steps be lore he
stumbled upon the form of a burglar
crouehing near the bed. Finding
himself discovered the burglar as
sumed an upright position when the
two men at om-e engaged in deadly
combat. Mr. ClugMoii called to her
2i- year-old son to get up when ihehurg
lar.as he eon. u not release himself from
tiie old gentleman, drew a revolver
and fired inlliciiug a mortal wound
on his antagonist. At this juncture
'.lie son grappled with the burglar and
a ter a desperate struggle succeeded in
disarming him, and endeavored to
make the villain his prisoner, but
the muiderer slipped adroitly from I is
grsp and with one leap cleared the
pirloraiidboun ledo.it of the. win
dow, which he had left open, and
dashed down the lane like a grey
hound, leaving Ills 'vest, undercoat
and overcoat in (lie bands of youn!
Clugston. The latter bounded after
(lie villain, but alter eha.-iiig him for
over ( lie hundred yards gave up tin

u few minute thereafter the old gen
tleman died. The murdered limn
was about "2 year of age an I c.i iu to
Valley Fore ab nit four years ago to
engage in the uiaiiu'actiire of paper.
The greatest excitement was raised on
account of the murder. At lat ac
counts the murderer was still at
large.

A strange story comes from Florence,
S. C. As James Best was crossing a
field "li his farm yesterday he was in
stantly killed by a stroke of lightninif,
which tcre up the ground where lie
had stood, and ouih'd niiii from sUlit.
Mr. Best was seen just bei'ore the fatal
stroke and his disappearance produced
great consternation among l he persons
w ho were watching him from their
windows. and several ran out to fathom
I lie mystery. They found a large
hide, surrounded by heas of dirt, but
not a vestige of Mr. Best. After two
hours' bard work with shovel bis
dead body wag found at lite IhiI toin of
the hole. The case is producing a sort
of religious terror among the ignorant
and superstitious countrymen, and
1 1 iey look upon it as an omen of some
terrible calamity.

ANCK HALF A CENTUHY AGO. -(Special
Dlsputch to the Chicago Tribune.)
Philadelphia, Pa., March 6.
Thurlow Weed was asked by a
special correspondent of the Prcnn yes
terday concerning the recent murder
of a son of Judge Jame Gillis of tills
State, In Mount Pleasant, Iowa, last
week, presumably on the account of
the death of Morgan during the anti
Masonic excitement- "I wii sorry
to hear of the trouble Judge Gillis is
having in bis old age,"said Mr. Weed.
"I knew him very well, and he was a
very worthy man as were all thne en
gaged In the prosecution of Morgan.
It became a political Issue, without
any intention on the part of the anti
Masons, and the latter became a strong
party. Judge Gillis was not tried for
the niurder.hut for abducting Morgan.
The facts in the case were these;
Morgan was a drunken stone mason
and a member of the Order of Free
masons. Witii the help of a
country printer be printed an
expose of the first three degrees
of Masonry, and was about ex
posing the Royal Arch Degree when
the Masons determined to put a stop
to it. Morgan had come to me I was
In the newspaper business in Roches
ter at the time to print his book, but
he wanted me to 'take an oath of
secrecy before I began the work, and I
would not do so. Tiie Masons had
Morgan arrested on a trumped-up
charge of petit larceny and lodged in
jail. They then made arrangmclits to
carry him oil'. A party of them in
cluding Gillis, Nicholas, G. Chces
borough (whose daughter called on
me not half an hour ago) and James
W li it i ley and other, went to the jail,
and after considerable parleying with
the jailor's wife, they prevailed upon
her to give Morgan up. The idea of
the masons was simply to get Morgan
away fro. ii the bad company he was
in, in which case I he Masons believed
he would give up his design of ex los
ing the secrets of the order They pro
posed to buy him a farm in Canada
and turn him from Ids evil ways gen
erally. The plan was now changed
to provide for Morgan by sending him
away from civilizition in the employ
of the Northwestern Fur Company.
There were several meetings of the
Lodge and Chapter at Niagara on the
subject, but many Masons re I used to
have anything to do with the scheme.
Then the m.ttit-r became imperative
Something had (o be done, and at
once.
'It was found to be dangerous to re
cede or go on. Alter M-irgan had
nee 1 1 a prisoner in the magazine lor
three or four days there was a larje

Legislature, mi l the eveuinf cmhd
witii a grand supper, at which excited
speeches were made by several promi

of Morgan. At last the chaplain was
called upon for a toast, and he gave
the following, "The enemies of our
Order may they find a grave six feel

hid. leu signilicance.alld Colonel King
who ws nt the table called four gen
tlemen outside and a carriage lieinu
called Ihey were driven to Fort Ni
agara, where they arrived at 4 o'clock
in the morning. Morgan was called
up, and was told t.iut they hail made
arrangements for Ids welfare bought
him a farm, etc. He went with them
and they took a hoar, and rowed out
four miles into Lake Ontario. Here
1 1 icy wound a rope loaded with sink
ers a round -Morgan and threw him
overboard. A man at the fort whom
I afterwards looked up in a moment,
saw the boat leave with six men and
return with but live. Of course all
ihese facts w re denied and the world
said that the committee that investi
gated the matter were politicians and
were moved by Interests other than
those of discover! n . the trulli.

men who look Morgan out in the boat
came to me and said, ''I wanted to

I want you to publish it." I promised
to write out the statement, which con

the campaign came on, the war broke

to go to E. B. Williams and let him

Cutting Affray.
(Renovo Record.
On Monday afternoon last, a bloody
cutting affray occurred between a
bricklayer named Win. Hubbard, and
Frank Harvey, proprietor of the Ex
change Hotel and Constable Shelly.
Hubbard lias been a boarder at the
Exchange for some months. For
several days past he lias shown a feel
ing of dissatisfaction about a lawsuit
over which Mr. Harvey bad no con
trol, brought by a relative of the latter
against a friend of Hubbard. Some
sharp words passed between them,
when Hubbard left the house. After
he had gone out, Mr. Harvey made
tip bis mind from Hubbard's remarks,
that he intended to leave bis house
without paj Ing his board bill, and
immediately got out, an attachment
to secure his claim. Hubbard shortly
afterwards returned and asked Mr.
Harvey for t lie key of bis room, which
was refused, unless, he would agree to
pay his board bill. Angry words fol
lowed. While the wrangle was going
on between them, Constable Shelly
happened in. Finally, Mr. Harvey
ordered Hubbard to leave the hotel.

possession of the knife, and stop the
affray, when Hubbard plunged the
knife at him, stabbing him below the
eye. cutting a long gash, and causing
him to bleed profusely. A desperate
struggle ensued before the knife could
be taken from Hubbard. He was
then placed under arrest and taken be
fore Squire John Smith, andin de
fault oi' $ 500 bail wa sent to jail. Mr
Harvey's hands were cut slightly in
several places.
