Sudden Death.
Mr. Elias Utr, of Lower 3IU Rcthcl
township, Northampton County, Pa., af-J
tcr eating a hearty breakfast, on Friday
morniug, the 24th inst., went out, as
usual, to his work. It was Mr. Utt's
usual practice to return to his house about
every hour and a half or two hours. His
ttay ou Friday juorning wa3 so much
longer than common that his family be
came alarmed and went in search of him,
and found him lying dead in his buck
wheat field, where he had been noticed,
by a neighbor, driving out some cattle
The deceased was iu his 7Sth year, and
was much respected irf his neighborhood.
The physician pronounced it a case of
palisy.
Melancholy Case of Drownis,
Mr.Wlbcrt L. Northrop, son of Mr G. W.
Northrop, of Canadensis, while in company
with his mother, his sister, his brother, and
a number of friends, on a pleasure excursion,
was drowned at the Duckbill Falls, in this
county, on Wednesday of last week. The
deceased was a young rnand of fine natural
talent?, which had heen much cultivated by
a liberal education, and was just about en
tering1 upon a manhood of most excel lent
promise, when remorseless death thus rc-
inorselcesly put an end lo his exbtence.
The particulars connected with his drown
ing, and which were handed us by an eye
witness to the scene, wc arc reluctantly
compelled to lay over until next week. The
funeral of the deceased tuck place on Tues
day, and was attended by a large concourse
til mourning relatives and friends. The sym
pathies ofour entire 'community for the bc
reavcj family were awakened by the sad
event.
t&" Wc have, lor several weeks past,
Lccu in the receipt of a new paper,
called the " Democrat' published at
cranton, Pa., by J. B. Adams, Esq..
whilom of lbs Milford " Herald." The
"Democrat" is of large size, 13 neatly
priutcd, and is most decidedly and un
mistakably Democratic in polities lean
ing strongly towards the Rrick Pomcroy
school. It is the only live Democratic
paper iu Luzerne County. J. B. is a
ii'lcj and racy writer, and is making out
of the li Democrat" a very rcadible pa
jer. While we wish nothing but over
whelming defeat to the pernicious prin
ciples sustained by the " Democrat," the
editor aud publisher has our best wishes
for pecuniary success.
JtjJ One of the heaviest rain storms
we remember to have witnessed, or heard,
passed over this section of country on
Friday night last. The rain fell in tor
rents indeed it seemed as though the
water fell in a continuous sheet. The
rain commenced at about eight o'clock.
The streets of our borough wcro flooded,
ud considerable damage was done to
uew buildings in course of crectioa aud to
gardens, and quite a number of cellars
filled with water. The streams in this
neighborhood ran bankfull ca Saturday,
and many of our farmers suffered consid
erable damage in the carrying away of
tanks, fences, grain, etc.
The flood was heaviest along McMi
chacl's Creek, and the loss, also, greatest.
We regret to learn that 31ichacl Supers
looses heavily in graiu and hay washed
away; and that John Huston lost nearly
bis whole potato patch, and a large lot
of wheat and rye iu the sheaf. Others
residing along thi3 creek also suffered
more or less damage, but their names
have not reached us. A private bridge
over the Mc3Iichacl's, about a mile above
town, was also partially destroyed. Two
ealrcs, belonging to Peter II. Robeson,
pasturing opposite the borough, ot into
the water and were carried over the dam,
at the new covered bridge, aud strange to
relate, escaped injury. We give in atothtr

No reference to the waters of the flood
caused by the heavy rain of Friday night
last, reader, but the introduction of wa
ter, cool, sparling, and pure, into our bo
rough. The movement is again ia mo
tion, and this time in such a shape, as to
make it a matter altogether for the people
themselves to decide, whether wc shall
depend on our present aqueous resources,
or whether wc will enlist the aid of the
beautiful, pure and gushing springs of
our neighboring hills in securing a sup
ply. The corporators named ia the char
ter have already secured the right to
these, and it now remains but for our cit
izens to say the word, which is destined
to set the ball iu motion and secure us a
bountiful supply of water of the best qual
ity ere the frosts of winter set ia. At a
meeting of the corporators held oa 3Ion
day last, Jacob L. Wyckoff, Jerome S.
Williams, and II. S. Wagner were ap
pointed a committee to await upon our
citiacus and secure subscriptions to the
capital stock of the companj'. The com
mittcc will attend to the duties of their
appointment on Saturday and 3Ionday
next, aud it is hoped that their advances
will be met with a most liberal response
from all on whom they call. There is
ccrtaiuly, nothing so important to a town
as a good supply of pure water, and it ap
pears to US' that a better time than now to
secure it will never reach us.
Tho President Judgeship.
It looks " muchly," now, much 33 they
may regret it, as though the people of
this 22d Judicial District, would soou be
compelled to cast about lor a successor to
our present President Judge, the Hon.
(Jcorgc li. Barrett. Wc noticed, a week
or two ago, the resignation of Judge
Lynn, of the Clearfield District, and
then Etatcd our imprcssioo, as to what
might grow out of that resignation. 31a
ny thought our impression was unfounded
The last " Kaftsman Journal," published
at Clearfield, Pa., in epcaking of a sue
ccssor for Judge 3IcEualIy, and the move
mcnts of tho Democracy looking that way,
informs us that there arcthrce candidates
iu the field, and that the Clearfield De
mocracy iustructs for George It. Barrett,
the Ceutro Democracy for J. II. Orvis,
and the Ciintou Democracy for Charles
Mayer. Should Judge Barrett receive
the nomiuation, as we infer from the
"Journal" he will, the district being
largely Democratic, his election will be
beyond a peradventurc. To ask him to
decline that position, as all his interest'?
lie in that district, and remain with U3,
would be asking too much; wc may as
well, therefore, begiu to look arouud and
sec what is to be seen iu shape of a proper
man for us. If the best talcnU and qual
ifications arc wautcd, of course, the se
lection will be left with the Republicans;
but if a second-rate Judge, ouly, is need

Down on William A. Wallace, Chair
- . man, &c.
William A. Wallace, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, ap
provcr of coffee stained naturalization pa
pers, tc., has again commenced the in
dulgence of his squibbing propensities,
and the prospects are that he will con
tinue to punish his party with his dia
tribes until the end of the campaign.
William is, doubtless, deeply impressed
with his skill in that line, aud his effu-
sious arc, hence, as much a result of the
promptings of love, as of the promptings
of duty with him. Rut, -unfortunately,
for William the party are not likewise so
impressed, and would just as soon that
he save his ink and spare them the ia
flictioa. Anion;? the masses this feeling
is freely expressed, and occasionally an
outspoken organ of the partjkjjivcs vent
to it. The Scrantoa " Democrat," of last
week, a paper whose politics can never
be mistakea cither for Republican or
doubtfully Democratic, speaks its scnti
mcnts oa this head, aud oa William A
Wallace generally, thusly:
The Honorable AYilliam A. Wallniv, t'hair
man of the Democratic State Central Con nr. i
teo of the Stale of IVniisylvania, ha roniriun-
eel ' hid annual effusion in the shajm of al

man aforesaid, would k-arn that he ha some
thing to do liesides to sit in hi- oUiee and in
dite short paragraph, lie hold an important
and responsihle iMtion, and we do hope for
the Mike of the party, that lie will, this fall,
show more capacity for it than he has ever
done heretofore. We recollect, List fall, that
the same William A. Wallace gave assurances
to the Democrats that the State won hi certain

we recollect too, that we jns-t carried it by the
skin of our teeth. We thought then that we
should have had 10,000 majority, anil we still
think we might have had, if the Statu had hcen
projK'rly ami prudently organized.
.We sire very much of the opinion now, that
it will not do for the Democracy to put their
trust in Mr. Wallace's short paragraphs. There
is a great work lie tore us, and it is a pity that
we couMn t have a master hand at the helm
The victory that we propose to get, would K1

f-S"" The " Democrat," of last week
contained a communication in which the
writer attempts to excuse Seymour's
"my friends," addressed to his mob aup
porters, by a comparison with the con
duct of Washington during the whiskey
insurrection and of Jackson durincr the
nullification troubles. There is, however
a wide difference between the cases; for
whereas, Seymour, as a partizan, address
ed the asylum-burners, aud negro hang
crs, as friends, alter their crimes had
bctn comraittcd,and because of the politica
influence he, as a pothouse politician, ex
crciscu, obtained tucir submission, ou
promise to yield their law-breaking and
mobbish demands; Washington, before
crimes were committed obtained sub
mission to the excise laws, and Jack
son to the tariff laws, by kind words
backed up with a force sufficient to show
what would be the result ia case submis
sion was rciuseu. Uovcruor Seymour s
speech to the mobiles was almost wholly
apologetic for the mob, and was express
ire of sympathy for their supposed wrongs
Washington aud Jackson, iu kind words
addressed the reason of men, aud immc
diatoly followed with an assurance ol
what would be sure to follow in case they
further refused to submit to the laws
It wou't do, ucighbor; you might, with
more certainty of success, hope to make
