The Republ icans of Scott; Robinson and

the results of the third of. November cies.
tion. These feelings one would naturally
expect to calm down as time rolled on,liut
instead, gradually they have been rising in
intensity and fervor, until yesterday, when
the-culmination was reached by a grand
barbecue and general jollification.
When the affair was first decided upon,
the ntaking of all necessary arrangments ,
was entrusted to a competent committed,
which discharged its'duty so well. that,
during the entire day not a single cause
for complaint could be made, and all passed
oil in a manner at once - harmonious, and
sa tisfactory to every, person in attendance.
invitations to pahicipate had been issued
to the Republicans of other. districts
idirougheut - the county, and at
the propertime the streets of, the pleasant
little village of Mansfield; Which bad been
aeletted •as the Scene for the celebration,
were crowded With delegations from Pitts
burgh, iliriiiingham, Noblestown and other,
places, all of WhOinentered with as much
zest Into the enjoyment of the occasion as
pia, Omagh *liege exertions it had been
k e i ,
revided. • • • .
The delegation from Plltsbugh,uumber
log about one hundred persons,. among
whop were members of the 'State Legisla
ture, county official* and prominent politi
41anikaccompanied by the Iron City Brass-
Band, took the 11 A. fa. train on the Pan
handle Railroad r and arrived at their desti
nation in : a short time, where they found
gathered a large company of kindred souls,
all drawn thither for the same -purpose.
After apending about an hbur in social in
tercourse,extending mu tual congratulations
and rejoicings , which served to maktf, the
time pass swiftly and pleasantly by, the
feast was announced. A keen bracing air
united to a somewhat protracted last,. and
the appetizing odors issuing from a rare
and Juicy ox which had been slowly roast
ing over a glowing fire, had'-the effect of
increasing the appreciation -which those
assembled at the call had fora a
rich, tender . and savory repast, , and,
when the welcome summons came,
with that alacrity Which only a hungry
individual can' put forth they gathered
around the festive board. The company,
after hilly satisfying the-cravinga - of the
inner man, withdrew from the table and
effected an. organization by, calling lion.
Russell Errett to the chair ' and appointing
Samuel D. Porter, Esq., As', Secretary, and
then enacted the ,"feast of reason and the
flow: of ;soul.",Witty, eloquent and
pertinent speechs were made by Hon.
Thomas Howard, of Pittsburgh, and Hon.
Dr. Hill, member of-the Ohio State Legis
lature, who congratulated the attendant
representatives of the- Republican 'masses
upon the glorious victory which had been
achieSed through their fidelity, patriotism
andadherence to those living_ principles
upon which hung the existence of the Re
public. The speeches of both gentlemen
were quite lengthy and closed by predict
ing for the nation a glorious future of.pros
peritv, happiness and power, tuider the
wise and just administration of the soldier
and the statesman Grant and Colfax.-
The programme was now changed, and
the company had the pleasure of witness
ing some fine exhibitions-of speed from a
number of, spirited charges% which bald
couyeyed the guests to the grounds. This
entertainment was quite a feature of the
day, a n d seemed to be highly enjoyed by
all; present. - : -1
- The event of the occasion, however. (of
.course, excepting. the feast,) was the pay
ment of the wheelbarrow -bet between
Messrs. Eli Wykoff, Republican, and Joe
Hitching% Democrat. The bet was on the
election, and as;that event resulted unfa
vorably to the Democracy, according to the
terms of the agreement, Mr. Hitchings was
required to wheel his Republican otmenent
from Wykoff's Hotel to Brown's house
and back again. -
At the appointed time the veadcle was
brought forth and fi lled with the fragile
form of the winger of the bet, while
the loser, manning• the handles, took
up the line of march. Time however,
would fail us in describing a ll: the wit
ticisms, the latighter, the cheers and bAii
tering enconragement which. the defeated
but' determined wheeler was greeted ,
with along the course; nor how the.
delighted occupant of the vehicle was affec
tionately, inquired of in regard to the c =-
forts of his seat, resp , Atfully admonished to
take it easy, to sit still, to take it for
granted, and numerous; other inquiries ,
and admonitions, all of whieh,Are they not
-chronicled in the memory., of every partici
pant and spectator who by turns shouted
and Cheered and shook with laughter?
Let it suffice for us to say that the, bet
was paid; and of all merry. jovial throngs
its witnesses would not by any means take
-second rank. -
And so the glorification was brought to a
close, Victorious Republicaniem had given
vent to its feelings and wth exultant
eheers for its noble standard bearers, the
/
: abilee was over . -- -- - • - -- -
At the conclusion. of the feas4 the -Bir
mingham delegation was`presented, by the
unanimous consent of-all, with the:33%W of
the ox, and consequently they may be said
to have carried, oil the horns.. Neither.the
"donors or recipients attempted to make ad
dresses. They were too full for utterance,
and the giftwaawisely given and received
in silence.

call into action all her genius,and culture,
and to that she fully sustained her world

mead of praise. Her rendering of some

the interview- of >Cassius mid - - , Brutus at

inexpressibly grand and wonderful dis
plays of her power. • A remarkable - evi
dence of her skill was seen in , the, intense
interestwhiehteemed"tO "infuse 'ltself into
`her auditors. Throughout the whole of the
reading, occupying nearly two hours, every
eye seemed to be fixed upon the- reader
and every ear eagerly bent forward to catch
the sentences as they fell from her lips.,
and the silence, broken once or . twice OF.
applause, was such that at times it became
almost painful. We were sorry, however;
to see that the audience, though of a firstt
class order as regards, intelligence and ap
predation, was not such a one as, the en
tertabament should receive, which, how
eyer, was no doubt influenced by the leo

Unpleasant Interruption.
William Trainor states m that he was pen
sively wending his way along Eagle street,
the main thoronglifare of Hardscrabble ‘
admiring the beauties of the surrounding
scenery, when ;his musingaxere suddenly
turned in a different direction by the un
musical voice and still more unmusical
language which issued from the hebe-like
mouth of Mrs. Hannah Rase and fell like
the melody of a midnight caterwaul upon
his refined and sensitive auricles. Upon
'turning round William discovered.that be
was the objective point and canscof thesud-.
den outburst, and upon paying still closer
attention he quickly became aware that his
character, dearer to him than , the apple of
his eye, was undergoing a severe test in the
crucible of the lady's severest citneical im
agination,the summing up of which led
him to 'Wive if'alrwere true, that he was
the vilest of the vile.. Disranyed, down
cast, disheartened he sought- the.friendly
aid and consolation of that symPathetinof

by arresting the lady on a charge of disor

Mark .Tivain, poet well tilt immOritt,
lecturectlast evening it the Academy under
the 'auspices of the Young Men's Iderven
.
tile Library Asaociationvhefore one of the
.
largest and most intelligent audiences ever
assembled ,in our city. The humorist is a
pleasing-talker and puts just enough ..jest
into his composition to make it pleasing and
palatable. He does not 'fall into the error
of those who have taken the lectire field
to amuse rather than instruct an audience,
of
M extravagant Jo z king or strain in g of words
•c ,
to aksisentencevrpear funny. There is
no extravagance a lit Mark Twain's style,
and yet he is entitled above all living men
to the name of American humorist. In his
writings, -as well as his lecture he is
dignified, using the choicest of ' Words
and plenty of them. Nor does he bring to
bear facial contortions, or awkward move
ment or gesture to impress his hearers
with the, fanny qualities which enter so
largely into his organization. As calm,
self-possessed. graceful and easy. before the
foot-lights as Wendell Phillips, his rival as
a humorist, but of another school, however,
Mark Twain, with no affectation,' no unbe
coming effort to excite the, risibility of his
audience, succeeds at times -in convulsing
with laughter the veriest dynic before him.
While the lecture last evening was charac
teristic of Twain, it also abounded here and
there with specimen s of word-painting and
flights of true el nonce which, coming
wholly unexpect , moved and thrilled all
present. The transition from humorous
sketching to deep description was easy and
rapid;and the lectnier kept the audience
in varying emotion from the time he was
introduced by Captain Jennings, till' he
quitted the rostrum, bidding good night to
his audience. s
Here is a'gem of description (interwoven
into the lecture which excited tv burst of
'admiration as• it fell upon the ears of the
listeners, and one which will give the read
er some idea of the versatility of the great
humorist. Speaking of the mysterious
sphyrix, he said:
"The great face was so sad, so earnest, so
longing, so patient. There was a dignity
not of earth in its mien, and in its counte
nance a benignity, Ouch as never anything
human wore. It was stone, but it seemed
sentiment! If ever image oilstone thought,
it was thinking. It was looking toward
the verge of the landscape, b t looking at
nothing—nothing but distance and, vacan
cy. It was looking over,and ilevond every
thing of the Present, and far into the Past.
It was gazing over the ocean of TiMe—over
lines of century—wives, which; farther
and further receding, closed nearer and
nearer together, and blended at last into
one uniiroken tide, away toward the hori
zon- of a remote antiquity. •
"It .was thinking of the wars of departed
ages—of the empires it had seen nreated
and destroyed—of the nations whose birth
it had witnessed, whose progress it bad
watched, whose annihilation it had noted
—of the joy and sorrow, the life and death,
the grandeur and decay, of five thousand
slow-revolving years.
"It was the type of an attribute of man—
of a faculty of his heart and brain. It was
MEMORY—RETROSPECTION—wrought into
visible, tangible form. All who know the
pathos there is in memories of des a that
are accomplished and faces that have van
ished--albeit only a trifling score of years
gone by, will have some appreciation of
the pathos that dwells in the grave eyes
that look so steadfaitly back upon the
'things they knew before History was born
—before Tradition had, being 'things that
were and forms that moved, in a vague era
that even Poetry and Romano:face*? know
of—and passed one by one away- and left
the stony dreamer 'solitary in \ the midst of
a strange, new age and ancomprehended
scenes.
"The Sphyni .Is grand in its loneliness;
it is imposing iu its Magnitude; it is im
pressive In the mystery whichlhangsi whichover
its story., 'There is that in the overshad
owing majesty' of this - eternal figure of
stone, with Its accusing memory of the
deeds of all ages, that reveals to one items•
thing of whit he shall feel when he stands
at last in the awful presence of God!"
We have to thank the energetic Library
Committee for the rare intellectual treat
afforded our. people last evening, in bring
ing hither Mark Twain, and trust that his
services may again be secured at the ros
tram on same future oecasien.

But. still these' ahomes for the fallen,"

of parents, who aim at giving their Sons
practical educations, but for their 'daugh

But this is a moat unwise conclusion for
these natural protectors. Their fathers and

Ifitirder In Clearfield County.
.
Thursday of last week David Ball and

Joh Sitease, lumberman, residing in Clear
, ,
Clear
field county got Into an altercation' which
resulted in the • ormer stabbing the latter
through the heart, 'killing him instantly.
The circumstance is related as follows:
Ball and Snease were down , the river lest
spring with lumber, and werenn their re
:turn by railroad when Snease became in
" tomeaced, and Ball assisted the conductor
to put him off the train. • Snease swore re
venge., threatening that if he ever net, Ball
he would whip htm. They _not come
together till Thursday lest. whenthee met
at a public sale near_Glen Hope.. Ball, who
had heard SteaSe's threats, called him tudde
CO explain his conduct , on the train; but as
soon as the subject was introduced,. Snease
`struck Ball, ands fight ensued. They were
parted, and the latter to avoid a second en
counter, attempted to go' away. Snease
followed him, throwing stones at him Al
this juncture, a third party named Baer,
gave Ball a knife and told hlin to defend
himself. Ball . immediately rushed upon
Snease with the weapon and stabbed him
through the heart. • Ball and Baer were ar

four small children. •

*CO Art of Glaiiigaining
Of all the arta' hiought Into requisition
by mankind for the adornment of , publio
, and private residencesiPerhaf's none is Weil
understaxl than the art of GLssi; Staining.
The true history of the origin' of the art,
like the origin of Glass making, is un
known. For-years the world has accepted
the story of the shipwrecked sailors of
, Tyte, and received unquestioned the tales
,told of Venetian Glass Staining, but moaern
research has destroyed , the last fragment
upon' *Which they rested. Various sped- .
mans of sta ined and enameled Glass are to
. .
be found in the art cabinets and museums
of Europe that, up'to the present day. defy
c:imitation. Even the art of producing the
;colors these specimens embrace has been
xloss. Each artist autde his own colors, pur-•
..suing his studies In' secret, like the paint
;ere, and their art died with them.*
One of the commonest errors concerning ,
stained`glass is
ned the supposition that what
is termed stai, glass is merely painted
glass. Thenianner in which the various
• tints and colors are produced is, scarcely
less wonderful thin the changes which
mark the various steps in the transforms
tion of the caterpillar into a beautiful but
terfly. All 'the colors we See in stained
' glass are s made from the oxides of various
metals. - Gold and silver is largely employ
ed in the art. The nieetof t de
pends upon the length o f time he
the colot
sheets
are subjected to the heat, and in the differ
ent degrees of its intensity, since the colors
obtained in the giass are burned Into, and,
in reality, become a part of it, hence it is
impoesible for it to fade. The stained glass
in the famouS eathedrale of Europe retains
precisely the Kane color to-day that pleased
the eye of those who . Worshipped in them
five hundred years ago. It will be seen
from this , that the difference between
. stained and painted glass is as different as
any two things that can be conceived.
A single firm in this city have devoted
their attention to the task of revolution
izing the business as it has been conducted
heretofore in this country. Up to a recent
date glass staining in 'America has been
limited to the operations of parties whose
facilities were necessarily limited. They
obtained their material from the ( manufac
turer, and wore unable to produce-any con
siderable amount of work even under the
most favorable circumstances. The manu
facturer, on the Other hand, has prOvided
to his harklextraordinary facilities for pro
ducing an article. equally as good as that
produced by the small dealer, if net supe
rior. Messrs. Page, Zellers et Duff, the
firm in question, have been lar ely en
gaged in glasS manufacturing. mitatibg
.one of the most successful .glass anufac.
Luring and glass staining firms in England;
they combined the business of gigs stain
ing and '',
.enameling with glass `making.
Their works were' constructed with extra
ordinary care;" their flattening ovens being
built upon a method that insures perfect
work, while the process of flattening
adopted by them is such as to produce a
perfectly level, clear, crystal.sheet, exhibit
ing a high polish. Here then they have a
basis for a superior article of I stained,
enameled or ground glass. The outer '
surface of the stained glass manu
factured by this firth, unlike'• the
greater portion of the stained glass
we have examined, is perfectly -- smooth,
retaining . the high polish secured in
the flattening oven.: Their facilities ena
ble them \to furnish new and retie designs
to order upon short-Jtotice. Spacial pat
terns of every sort, plain or elaborate, fnr
nished' to - parties -interested in church
building', halls, schoolhouses and all kind
of public, buildings. The work produced
by the firm requires no endoisement; it
speaks for itself. ,
