She called to her son, who soon came

killed than another and still another
came, Mr. Stewart continued to shoot
them until fifty-nine had been slaught
ered, fifty-five of which were rattle
snakes and four copperheads. Mr.
Stewart, fearing that his story would
not ho believed, took a neighbor to the
scene of the con diet, who Dears test!-
nony to the truth of the storv. The
smallest of the rattlesnakes had twelve
rattles, which shows it to be fifteen
years old.

Sabbath lireaking.
There seems to be a great deal of law
lessness as regards the subject which
the hend of this article intimates. No
matter how little regard a man may
have for religion or religious observ
ances, there is not one who will argue
that the observance of the Sabl ath is
not a good thing. Without this
eventli day of rest the ceaseless, un
varying wear, on the human mind
aud body, would tend to shorten our
lives many years. Then without
wittering into an extended argument
we believe that all will agree that the
Eabbath should be kept. The law
makes hunting and fishing on Bun
day a punishable offence. And then
as law-abiding citizens we should
help to uphold the dignity of the law.
This article is not intended as a
bit on any one, but as rumors reach
our, ears that many of our citizens are
inhe habit of shouldering their guns
and gftdng to the woods Sunday on
huutlug excursions, we simply wish
to enter a protest against the example
which tbey are setting to the young
and risli.g generation. It has even
reached our ears that officers of the
law are among those who openly
Tlolate, the very law they are sworn
to protect, this we bene Ii not true, as

Why then does he not read a de

A correspondent of the New York

Riding over the New York dlvlulnn

from the day of John Witherspooti to
the more degenerate era of Don Cam

clude that among the "scholars In
politics" there was about the usual
propoitlnn of the evil and the good.
If Princeton is proud to claim James
Madison as her son, she is also forced
to admit the maternity of Aaron Burr.
Coming down to a luter day, tlie dis
reputable political record of Prince
ton s sons, Robeson and Belknap, is
offset by the more creditable reputa

and Hiester Clymer. The stimn in.

yield to the demands of the respecta

shown such strength. Democratic
victory will be a rebuke lo Cameron,
aud one that he should heed. With
out Pennsylvania as a probable Re

national convention, In the national
councils, and in View of a probable
democratic President In that event
in the national administration , will be
stripped from him.

the national convention of 1884, and it

Cameron trick to enable hi in to throw
the vote for whom he wills at the later

"What then will become of the In
