a certain class of men and boys in this

October 30th, 1872. j
Mr. Editor. The Democracy was in mo
tion, in these parts last evening. An im
mense gathering of at least fifteen voters
crowded our old Church building, and the
enthusiasm on the occasion, was about in
proportion to the numbers present. Order
was brought out of chaos by the appoint
ment of Peter Turpening, Esq. President,
and Samuel Pipher and another dyed-in-the-wool
Democrat, Vice President
As no business was transacted not even
the adoption of a set of the usual stereoty
ped resolves the meeting was evidently cal
led to hear words of wisdom, from the lips
of the home Democratic savans. The first
speaker, was the Hon. John B. Storm, who
was unusually felicitious in his remarks,
John had but just emerged irom very trying
but successful congressional canvass, and, of
course, was very happy in his remarks. He
charged an immense amount of corruption
upon the Administration, which to-be-sure,
tickled amazingly those Democrats present
who, in some shape, would love dearly to
have an opportunity to try their hands at
corruption too. He also spoke very vehe
rently of the damnable laws enacted by the
Republican majority in Congress, without
saying a word of the necessity for those laws,
and most feelingly recited the tear-moviug
song of "Poor Old Grimes," wittily remark
ing that the old song reminded him of the
old Deacon, who, on one occasion said that
the Congregation must sing that song if it
killed them. ''So of the Democratic party,"
said the eloquent speaker, "Democrats must
vote for Greely if it killed the party."
John did nt tell us anything of "what he
knew about getting to Congress," and
morc's pity.
The next speaker was a Mr. John Savage
"Happy Jack," as he is generally called
where best knowu an excellent poet, a ripe
scholar, a genial gentleman, andanuprorious
Democrat That Jack did'ut liave the best
opinion of the intelligence of his audience, is
evident from the fact that his speech com
menced somewhat thusly :
"f ellow Democrats: Some of you
who don't understand how to vote, should re
member that Mr. Greely is a jintleman, is
known well, and Mr. Greely must be upheld
He is a jintleman, and worthy of a support
of the Democracy. We have no foundation
to build upon, but we must vote for Mr.
Greely, because Mr. Greely is a jintleman,
dye see. Ihe Republicans are foxy and
corrupt, and ought to be defeated." If Mr.
Savage had only thought to wind up with
one of his soul stirring songs, what a jolly
time we should have had in this happy land
of Democratic Canaan. After 31 r. Savage
had taken his seat youd distinguished typo
graphical cotemporary and neighbor.
Amandu3 Orevus Greenwalt took the
stand. Amandus blushed considerably upon
coming forward, and had, evidently, conclu
ded to come the modest dodge. He said he
believed that the gentlemen who had prece
ded him, had said about all that was neces
sary to be said. The government was a big
thing, and reminded him of a small Tannery
located somewhere years ago, which had
gone down, and been superseded by large
Iron works, and if we look up the valley it is
full of them. The remarks are a little foggy
but deep as the Congregation use to say
r. it. . . ,i , . .i
aiLer ii&ieumg 10 ine woras or the good
old preacher for over thirty years, without
understanding an hta the of what old fellow
was driving at Whether the Valley is full of
small tanneries or large Irou works is still an
open question. The orator then, mos
eloquently, instructed his Audience in the
mystery of catching Bears, as follows: "The
Republican party," said Amandus, Vwa
ioxy and reminded bun of the Fox, who
placed honey in a split log, and induced the
Bear to stick his head in and lick out the
Honey, and as soon as the bear got his head
in, the fox knocked out the prop aud caught
the bear. Amandu3 did not make the ap
plication, but it is plain that he meant to
insinuate that the Democracy is represented
by the Bear, that the Cincinnati and Baltl
more Conventions renrosenr. tbo cr.Kt-. 1
1 ' '
slathered over with honey in shape o
promised official patronage, and that the fox
represents the old white coated Philospher,
who so unfeeling coaxed the Democracy to
the death it has suffered, by means of the
work on Tuesday. The Orator sat down
literally overwhelmed with the magnitude o
the result of his efforts and without saying a
word about rods, and their influence.
At the conclusion of Aniandus's speech, a
collection was taken to raise money to have
the house cleaned. One gentleman on hand
' 1 " t t 1 1 , l ,TT .
lug over uis spons remarked: Here is
"some Greely money to buy Whiskey." The
amount was too small to awaken enthusiam,
and so the "tremendous out pouring," ad
journed, and the patient fifteen dispersed.

and the only premium given to sewing
machines at the Monroe County Fair, last
week, notwithstanding the fact that the
Domestic, the A. 13. Howe and the Grover
and Baker cornsheller, with operators and
got up work imported for the occasion were
in competition, was awarded to the Wheeler
and Wilson machine. The committee, com
posed of practical mechanics and experts,
after giving each machine a thorough ex
amination, were constrained to say, that for
excellence of workmanship, and durability
the Wheeler and Wilson, was by far the
best. It was evideut to all that some of the
agents had mistaken their proper location.
The tilings they exhibited there would have
had a better place, decidedly, among the
agricultural implements.

THE HORSE DISEASE.
its rn.oaR.Ess in the united states
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. The horse
disease prevails here to an alarming ex
tent The Second, Third, Union, Fifth,
and Sixth at. lines of cara are not run
ning to-day. The cars on the Chestnut
and Walnut st. line are drawn by men
to night, passengers having to pay 15
cents. 'The business interests is suffering
considerably. Freight is accumulating
on the wharves and cannot be delivered
Draymen who are running their horses
are charging from 515 to per team
per day. Numbers of fatal cases among
the horses are occurrmg.
Chicago, Nor. 4. A cold, driving
ram storm from the east set in this af
ternoon, and has continued steadily ever
siuce, with do prospect of abating. A
Dumber of deaths among horses affected
with the prevailing distemper were re
ported to-day. The disease has appoared
in Eigio, III , and will probably extend
throughout the country. A large num
ber of ox teams appeared on the streets
to-day, and many more are on their way
hers from the interior. The express
companies and business homes delivered
large quantities of goods to day through
the aid of these substitutes.
Baltimore, Nov. 4. The horse cpi
demic is now at its worst. Nearly every
horse in the city is more or less sick.
The city cars on both lines are all with
drawn, aud there are very few drays, carts
or carriages out. Business is seriously
interrupted, but there is a comparatively
small number of deaths.
Norfolk, Nor. 4. The horse disease
has disabled nearly all the laboring horses
in the city and many in the surrounding
country. All of the street car horses
and mules are sick with the disease, and
the cars have stopped running this morn
ing. The outward bound mail and ex
press matter missed connection with the
trains and boats far want oi city trans
portation.
Golds30RO, N. C, Nor. 4. The horse
malady has made its appearance at this
placo.
Charleston, S. O, Nor. 4. The
horse disease has broken out here. A
majority of the work horses aud mules in
the city are more or less affected.
Newark, Oct. 30. It is reported that
the mysterious malady among the horses
had also spread among the cows in the
vicinity of Newark. G. L. & A. G. Mitch
ell, East Orange dairymen, have lost, it
is stated, fifty head of cattle out of sixty
five of the finest milch cows in this State.
Bordentown, N. J., Oct. 31. A col
lisioo occurred at G p. m. to day between
an empty coal train and a passenger train,
near Jamesburg, on the Am boy Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The en
gineer of the coal traio, Jacob 'limmer
dale, was instantly killed. Both of the
firemen were seriously injured. The en
gineer of the passenger train had his arm
and leg broken. Two passenger cars ran
over the engine, breaking it badly.
ISone of the passengers were injured.

We have had a fortunate escape, owing
to the mistake made by M. Plaotamour
in calculations regarding the comot that
was to destroy us. Other deep astrooo
mers have been to work, and they have
. . . -
reached results which they claim are in
conteetible. They conclude that the in
evitable end of this unfortunate planet
will come oo the 21st of October, 2011.
Unhappily we shall not be here to verify
the prophecy. This time it is not the
fiery tail of a comet.that is to do the busi
ness and to roast the entire human race.
It is the burning out of the sun, which
will reduce the earth to a solid mass of
ice. The temperature will descend so
far below zero, that no number of ther
mometers eombind will be able to indicate
the depths of its frigidity. This is a very
bad look out for our descendants, to whom
the prospect of this dread October day,
one hundred and thirty-nine years hence,
cannot possibly prove a source of eager
and gleeful anticipation.

The Erie Observer says: Mr. John
Davis, of Youngsville, lost a valuable
cow a few days since. After being gone
nine days she returned, poor and nearly
starved, with the end of her tail gone.
Two or three men started at once on her
back track, suspecting foul play. The
trail could be followed, as it had been
raining, and the cow was tracked nearly
a mile into the woods and the mystery
solved. Her heavy tail while wet had
whipped around a young tree and fast
ened, and she faced toward home and
stood there unable to unwind it, and the
pulling had made a sore place for the flies
to work in, and by the ninth day the end
came off and the cow came home, leaving
part of her tail hanging to the tree.

pork. This was done lor two reasons;
first, because we do not believe that the

form or another, is an article of prims
importance we had almost said indis-
