The Democratic nominations having already

The Fibst Spelling Bee Blunder. As the
public still seem to manifest considerable inter
est as well as dissatisfaction iu the decision of
the umpires on the spelling of the word gnarly,
iu the spelling bee a few weeks since, it is per
haps proper that the press should at least give
the subject a passing flotiee, and correct erron
eous conclusions, especially when put forward by
journalists. The editor of the Gazette says :
"Some dissatisfaction is expressed that Mr. Hal-
lowcll (who took the tint prize) was not ruled
out on ihe word 'gnarly," which he spelled
"knarly," but claimed to have corrected himself
immediately, and also put iu a I urt tier claim mat
both snclliugs are equally correct. He has tiot
Webster's latest to sustain him on tbe latter
poiut, but Webster's edition or 1S5U (upon our
tublc) warrants hi in in using a k for ng. But we
would advise Mr. II. not to do it again, for, iu
this fast age, going back twenty-five years for
authority has a lillle too much of tlie old logy
in it. We see that at a recent "bee ' at Lewis
burg Mr. Cramer was ruled out for using a k in
tbe same word, but the editor of the "Chronicle'
has been looking up the authorities and says
that the weight of them is ou the side of Mr. C,
and that the ruliug was unjut in his case.
Now we should like to know by what rule a
man, after having spelled a word erioncously in
a selliug mutch, is justified iu nuking a second
attempt, especially, as iu this case, after hi6
spelling had bceu decided erroneous. But
even if he had "corrected hiuiself" (which he did
not) before his spelling was ruled as errotieous,
it would have been wrong. If a speller can
'correct himself" occe, he cau do so a dozen of
times. It is more than probable if the others,
who failed in spelling, had becu permitted to
"correct themselves," the most of them would
nave been successful ou a second trial. But we
are not disposed to be hypercritical, but will en
deavor to show that the position assumed in
favor of the correctness of the decision of the
umpires is untenable in auy and every point of
view taken. Webster's edition of 1S47 (uot 1850
as stated by the Gazette') does not only not "war
rant him in using a Jfc instead of g," but utterly
repudiates any such use. And uow for the
proof. In the first place there is no such word
as "knarly" in Webster, Worcester, Johnson,
Richardson nor iu any dictionary of the English
language. Neither is it used in translating the
definition of the word in the German and French
dictionaries. Even in the German where the k
is most frequently used, the German adjective
gnorrig, equivalent to the English word gnarly,
the definition is "knaggy, knotty, gnarled,
knurled." In the second place wc find in Web
ster's unabridged dictionary, which Is an au
thority the world over, and which even the spell
ing bee of Sunbury is bound to respect, both the
adjectives gnarled, as well as gnarly, arc spelled
as they should be, with a g. U is true wc Cud the
word knarled spelled with a k, but with a refer
ence to the word gnarled, which is always under
stood to mean that the spelling of the word re
ferred to is the correct one. And this is the case,
not only in t he last edition, but in all the edi
tions of Webster. The word knarly spelled with
a k, however, is not found in any edition of Web
ster, nor in any edition of any body else, and
any assumption thai it may be adopted by in
ference, because the spelling of the word knarled
with.a k is tolerated but not used, is unwarrant
ed, Improper and without a shadow of authority.
The editor of the Ga:ette, as quotes above,
says he (Mr. Hallowcll) has ::ot Webster's latest
to sustain hira on the latter point, viz : (that
both spellings arc equally correct,) but that
Webster's edition of 150 warrants him in uing
a k for a y.
We have only to say that wc have had on "out
table" all of Webster's revised editions since
1810, aud if "Webster's latest don't sustain him"
the others most decidedly cannot, as they are all
precisely alike. If the editor of the Gazette, who
was an umpire, has any warrant for using a k
fpr a g let us see what it is. But we fear it is
like the "weight of authority" of the Chronicle
depending wholly upon the weight of the indi
vidual who gives it. But the public want
something belter. The fact is the decision was
an egregious blunder, unjust in its results and
wholly indefensible.
OCR neighbor of tbe Daily has at last awoke
Irom his Rip Van Vinkle sleep, and is now be
ginning to notice that the situation iu the coal
region is none of the most peaceable and quiet,
as he had coutended It was. In the following
local in his issue of Tuesday he says, "This is
the first open threat we have heard made to take
life aud burn coal proerty eiuce the strike com
menced." This is acknowledging a good deal of
stupidity on his part, as every oue who read the
daily papers will know that it was a daily
occurrence at one place or another in that regiou.
The following is the local from the Daily:
"The striking miners lu the Schuylkill regiou
are getting more uproarious. On Monday a
demonstration was made by 300 men from Locust
Gap aud vicinity, who crossed over the moun
tain and went to the Hickory Ridge colliery,
which had started to work that morning, uud
created great excitement among the workmen
by shooting lu the air, und advanced ou them,
interfered aud prevented tlicin from working.
The inside boss attempted to interfere, aud de
uikiided of them to let his men work, when oue
of the mob struck him with a club. After tbe
mob had accomplished their object by compell
ing all the men to quit work they left for the
Lamokin colliery, and stopped the miners there,
aud gave them to understand that this was only
a warning, that if caught at work again they
would come with reinforcements and kill tbe
whole parly at work and burn the breaker to the
ground. This is the first open threat we have
heard made to take life and burn coal property
siuce the strike coinmeuced. After the above
threats were made a private consultation was
held, and the men declared they would click to
the Miners' Union aud fight it out. Then they
scattered in various directions for their homes."
As "Active Fireman," writing to the Daily ou
Weduesday, is lavishing strong hints to the Bor
ough Council, in reference to the resolution at
Iheir last ineetiug, to coiniH'l No 1 Fiie Company
to pay all damage that may happen their steam
er when taken outside the borough Hue. Tbe re
solution we tincerelv believe had better never
been introduced in the Council, as it does uot
show that magnanimity of lowu firemen, wnieh
they arc deserving of. Wc can boast of perhaps a
belter fire department than any town in the
State, aud to keep np the organization, which is
a pride of the town, we would advise our bor
rough fathers not to pass laws hastily that m.iy
place the department ou a retrogade move. Wc
think it is sufficient if firemen devote time, la
bor and risk life and limb gratis to save our
projerty without imposing an extra tax upon
them, when they may unfortunately meet with
an accideut while they may be called upon to as
sis'. in saving the property of our neighbors.
The powder mill of Mr. Speesc, which explod
ed near Trcvorton lately, is a loss of $1,400.
Oue hundred and thirty kegs of powder were de
stroyed. Richard Foulds, the miller, who lost
his life by tbe explosion, bad worked at powder
making1 from his boyhood up, and thoroughly
understood the business. The explosion is un
known, and occurred Immediately after starting
tbe mill. Foulds was about 33 years of age, and
leaves a wife and five children to mourn their
loss.
Bock Beeb. On Monday next Messrs. J. A
A. Moeschlin, of the Cold Spring Brewery, will
commence to supply our citizens with genuine
Bock Beer. This summer beverage is considered
a healthy tonic but according to some philoso
phers is considered intoxicating if loo much is
imbibed, and as a Teuton remarked, "if a man
make a pig mil himself, und drink seventy or
hundred glasses, maybe dot make him feel a lld
dle queer."
Considerable complant is made by some of
our market-goers about the practice of some
parties who purchase desirable articles by the
wholesale aud deprive others of the chance of
getting a supply. For Instance a gentleman
claims it is impossible to obtain "sweet breads"
for the use of himself or anybody else, and he
asserts that a certain class of dealers buy them
all up.
W. R. F. Weimer has been to the city, and
has purchased an immense stork of Dry Goods,
Carpets, Groceries, Sic, which are now being
opened at his store on Market street. Having
purchased bis goods at panic prices, he is enabled
to" give his customers the benefit of a larger re
duction than can be had elsewhere. He invites
all to come and examine his stock and prices.
The editor of the Weekly Independent reminds
us of tbe boy w ho said "be knew the word well
enough, but missed it because he dld'nt have the
hamr of the school bouse."
The family of II. W. Malick, of Lower Au
gusta townEhip, were suddenly taken sick aboot
a week ago and Dr. D. W. Shindel was summon
ed, who pronounced the cause of their sickness
from the effect of poison. On inquiry it was as
certained that they had eaten apple butter, when
the crocks were examined and found the glazing-
defective. The family Had" eaten some of the
apple butter during the winter and were taken
sick, but had no Idea that they were poisoned.
Lately Mrs. Malick baked an apple butter pie
which was eaten by the family, when they were
again attacked. Mrs. Malick is in a precarious
condition. Mr. Malick and child arc recovering.
Too much care caunot be taken iu tbe nse of
glazed earthen ware, as a great deal is the de
fective lead glazing, which is rank poison.
" Siuce the above was put in type, we learu that
Mrs. Malick died on Wednesday last. She was
the daughter of the late Simon Snyder, deceased,
a well known citizen of this county. We are in
formed that several other similar cases of poison
ing occurred iu Lower Augusta township, from
poisonous crockery ware. The family of An
drew Hauck k re all effected. Mr. lLiuck states
that some of the apple butter iu the crocks has
tamed white from the defective glaziug.
Bakmm's Gkeat Thavellisg World's Fair
exhibited at this place, on Saturday last. Early
iu the day our streets were thronged with people,
who came to witness the grand exhibition.
About nine o'clock the pageant of wagons con
taining tbe animals began to enter the town and
passed dowu Market to Second street, and down
Second to Spruce, to the ground for exhibition.
Iu a short time the canvass was erected, which
was as much t look upon as the show itsc'.f.
Every man connected with the show is assigned
a position, and the labor is all performed with
method and extraordinary good management.
Two exhibitions were held, and both afternoon
aud evening an Immense audience were present.
The menagaric embraced many rare and magni
ficent specimens. The animals were in a belter
condition than any we have yet seen, and elicited
the admiration of all who saw them. A Giraffe,
the only one in the country, the Flomed Horse,
Elant, and living Sei Lion, were great attrac
tions, and aloiie worth the price of admission to
look at. There were numerous other beautiful
specimens of wild animals, which we cannot now
enumerate, that weie greatly admired, and went
far to make a visit interesting.' Iu fact, we
never visited a show that was more interesting,
which may be accounted for partially by the
gentlemanly conduct of those connected with the
establishment, who appeared to take delight in
giving all the information desired, and endeavor
ed to have every one have the beet opportunity
of seeing their grand collection.
Many of the performances iu the ring were
new and amusing without vulgarity, while some
of the feats performed were of a most astonishing
character. The daring bare back riding of
Dockrill, Lowande, and his infant son, "Tony,"
exceeded everything of the kind ever witnessed
here before. Tiie four horse act was in some
degree fearful to behold. Taking it altogether,
the eulcrtainmcnt was of a first class order,
and gave full satisfaction, to all. In fact, we
anticiimted agoo show after interviewing the ad
vance agents, Messrs. Chas.Stoweand D. B. Hop
kins. Both gentlemen are reliable, and would
not counect themselves with any enterprise of
doubtful character, and we aie free to admit that
we were not disappoiuted in our anticipations.
Mr. Hopkins was untiring In his alleulions, and
placed under obligations many of our citizens by
his courtesy, ia making their visit one of luptruc
tiou and pleasure.
A Slander The editor of the Daily, in his
issue of the 6ih Inst., grossly slanders the editor
of the Wat sou town Iiecord. He alleges thai the
latter accepted a present of an umbrella worth
seveuty-fivc cents from a clothing dealer of (his
town. On the day which this should have oc
curred, we saw the editor of tne Record have a
roil of money, bills raugiug from oue dollar up
wards with several "fives" in the pile, aud any
one who kuows John will know that he never
accepts presents unless he has uot enough money
to buy tobacco with. Besides, wc have never
known John to possess an umbrella, ns be never
learued what use to make of it. It is certainly
slander, and we advise John to resent it.
It is reported from Pottsvillc that outrages
are i Herein ng in tiie upper coal region. A large
two-and-a-half-inch wire rope, used for drawing
coal by the Philadelphia aud Reading Company
over the Gordon Plane, was cut in five pieces,
compelling n temporary stopping of coal ship
ments from Shamokin. Jt is thought the object
was to kill the special policemen who pass daily
over the Plains. A watchman at the Locust
Dale Colliery was beaten and robbed of his watch.
An attempt was made on last Wednesday evc
uing to wreck the PolUvilie passenger train, by
placiug an iron railroad chair and a heavy log
across the track. The same night the railroad
telegraph office at Locust Summit was burned
down. "Coffin notices" have again been posted
at the mines as warnings. Daily of Monday last.
Our neighbor has neglected to slate whether
"all is quiet in the coal regions," aud whether
it Is necessary to retain the soldiers any longer.
Tns Delaware Hotel. We ars glad to learn
that Jacob Kramer has become tbe proprietor of
this tine hotel at Dcwart, this county. Mr.
Kramer has reuovatcd the whole house, and
addc.1 many improvements for the accommoda
tion of guests. This hotel is frequently occu
pied by guests from the cities during the summer
season, and is a very pleasant resort. A livery
has also been established, which stilt adds more
to the pleasures or those who patronize this
house, as it enables them to indulge in drives
through one or the mot pleasant valleys along
the Susquehanna.
The Worst Spell Yet. The Poltsville

the busy spelling bee is in every town and ham

or spelling. There can be no time more appro

write. Among the documents on record in the
various offices or the Court House there are

would have turned Noah Webster into a stone.

Fire. The Express train going south on Mon
day last, ran over two cows at Georgetown, and
the sparks from the smoke stack, set a house on
fire, belonging to Mr. George Yeager, near the
iratcr station at that place. The house was en
tire! consumed,
Frighti-cl Rcsawat. The greatest excite
ment prevailed on Monday evening on Shamo
kin street near its intersection with Sunbury
street, caused by the running away of a span or
horses belonging to Patrick Kearins and attach
ed to a carriage containing himself and two
children Mary, his oldest, a delicate girl of fif
teen ; and bis youngest, an infant son of twenty
months both invalids. By direction of their
physician Mr. Kearins had taken them out for
recreation and more especially for the benefit or
his daughter, whose intense grler on account of
her mother's death last week, threatened to
prostrate her. The horses started to run at the
iron bridge on South Shamokin street, aud the
yoke slipping back over the catch on the tongue,
Mr. K. lost control of them, and they dashed np
the street at a furious rate amidst the screams
of the terrified daughter who cluug tenaciously
to her little brother aud called to her father to
hold the horses. When in front of Eaton's con
fectionery a young man on the wesl side of the
street quickly picked np a stone and hnrlcd it at
the team, crashing in the skull of ouo of the
horses which fell dend iu the harness. Hundreds
or people were 6oon on the spot. The Inmates
or the carriage were uninjured save Mary, who
bad a few slight bruises about the head from
coining in contact with the sides of the carriage,
and who was to overcome with fright that she
could not support herself; she and the babe were
taken to the residence of Mr. Jos. B. Eaton and
kiudly cared for. The young man (we were un
able to learn his name) who threw the stone de
serves great credit aud evidently knew what he
was about. They were few indeed who censured
him. A few feel forth :r and the team would in
all probability have run the carriage into a deep
ditch which extended fit into the street and
thrown them all out ; as it is, all have escaped
in a verv remarkable niauncr. Sh-vnok'oi Herald.

Doi TWii.l.E Bkeakek Bcknei). X despatch
received by Mr. Wra. II. Donty early yesterday
morning announced the destruction of the Ben.
Franklin coliicry breaker, at Douty ville.ou Tues- I
night. It was undoubtedly the work of incen
diaries. There was 150 tous of coal in the
breaker.
This colliery was ocratod by Douty & Baum-
garduer. They estimate their loss at 20,000 ;
insured for $12,S00. Such a dastardly act is its
own comment. We hope the villains may speed

Whitewashing. As the time for whitewash
ing and cleaning approaches the follow iug recipe
for preventing whitewash from ad'aering to every
thing that happens to be orushed against it, will
bo read with interest : Soak four ounces of glue
in a quart of warm water for tweuty-four hours,
theu udd a pint of water ; place the vessel (tin)
in a kettle of hot water over the fire, and agitate
the glue until it is thoroughly dissolved aud the
solution quite clear. Now put five or six pounds
of Paris white (costs three cents a pound) into
a bucket, aud add hot water uutil the mixture is
or the consistency or cream. Then mix the
glue with it, and stir well and put on with an
ordinary whitewash brush. It is or the most
importance that the calcimiuing mixture be
spread smoothly, and if too thick a little hot wa
ter should be added. The quantities given above
arc sufficient for two coats on a large room six
teen feet square. To make a good Job two coats
should always be applied.
Attempted Mchher. On Tuesday evening
ou the Big Mountain between Centralia and
Roaring Creek as a man named Martz was re
luming from market, he was accosted by a
stranger who asked permission to ride, whictl
was granted. The two men rode some distance
conversing upon dirlereut topics, when the
stranger directed the attention or the other to a
piece of woodlaud at the same time he diew a
revolver aud placiug the muzzle against his head
lire!. Martz feeling the cold steel againrt his
head quickly turned, and tiie act doubtless saved
his life, for the ball grazed the skill of his forehead-
The shock caused Maitz to fall from the
wagon, but immediately recovering he hastened
to capture bin team which hat", started to run
away. The would-be assassin seeing that he
had failed to kill his victim, whom he doubtless
had intended to plunder, was so overcome with
fear thai he beat a precipitate letrcat for the
woods. -lMiiif Iiecord.
We would call the attention of our leaders to
the advertisement of Horace Waters Jt Sons,
headed "A Great Offer." For a description of
Pianos see the following : "Messrs Horace
Waters t- Sons have made improvements in

fect before. By the use of a rcw scale and
treble, and by making their pianos square-graud,
they have Srcurcd the best tone, the best 6baiie,

"Spelling Bee," a new humorous Song aud
Chorus, by Sep. Winner. A Tunny subject, very
jocularly worked up, word and Music admira
bly adapted, has the ring or popularity about it
would prove an effective song for tbe "Spelling

cents by Lee & Walker, Music Publishers, Phila-rtHphln.
We notice that extensive preparations are be
ing made throughout the country to render the
decoration of soldiers graves, on the 30th of
May, a grand success. This is as it should be.
These floral offerings to the memory of the brave
fellows who laid down their lives that the repub
lic might live, tend to keep alive that spirit of
patriotism, on which the free institutions of our
country much depend for protection and support.
Loral Correspondence.
Ti-rbi tville, May ;2, 1875.
Mr. Editor : The late rains have lightened
agricultuial hearts wonderfully.
There are a great many cases of spring fever
here.
Tatcr bngs are sitting on the fence picking
their teeth nnd smiling to see us plant our
potatoes.
The time for the wearing of sun bonnets and
straw hats is close at hand, we only wish we
could lay our finger on the time.
Dry beef boucs are demanded among Turbut
ville j jveniles. Every day a clapping is kept up
on the streets by manipulators of these musical
instruments.
From the reports we have, we judge that the
several granges in this vicinity are In a thriving
and prosperous condition.
The young man Evans, whose eyes were burn
ed with the melted zinc, a mention of which was
made in the American of April 30th, has recovered
rapidly, and is able to be out on the streets again.
This is the season of the year particularly de
voted to the interests of agriculture. We see ,m
every hand a little gardening going on, hot beds
for eariy plants, boxes to keep off cuenmber
bugs, and a pile of stones in a coiner to throw
at neighbor's hens are the first symptoms of the
fever.
Alas ! what has become of onr croquet play
ers t Have they lost their love for amusement,
or haa croquet gone whero the "woodbine

We are pretty hard to please; it is just now
rather dry for farmers ; a short time ago it was
too wet, but it is altogether probable that it will
come out right in the end.
In preparing my items this week, I notice the
people looking brighter than nsual ; they are
getting over their anxiety about the poor pros
pects of a poor wheat crop, and expect to reap
rich harvests of oats and corn. In the mean
time they arc waiting for the early garden seeds
to peep through the ground; but oh won't the
poor seed merchants get a blessing when it is
discovered that it will be necessary to replant.
People who make their garden in the middle or
the winter would do well to bear iu mind that
now acd then a seed rots.
The mason work or Harry Denius's building
will be completed iu a few days.
Mr. Lowcry, or Lcwisburg, will lecture in the
Baptist church, Wednesday cveuing, May 19th.
Subject, "Sunday Schools."
It is seldom we bear of people being too gxd
in mathematics, but we bear cases of that nature
here ; subtraction seems to be their hobby ; they
proved their ability to Geo. Arms by subtracting
a can of tea and a lot of canned fruit from bis
kitchen while his family were working in his
garden.
It is with sincere regret that we announce the
death of Mrs. Maria Tweed, consort of tht late
John Tweed, of Lewis township. She had been
ill for several years. We bave not learned
when she will be buried, bnt will lie buried in
Warrior Run grave yard. She was a member of
Warrior Run church for many years.
Quite a delegation of Turbutvilllans attended
the Baninm's World's Fair at Milton yesterday.
We were umoug the number, and think it has
changed somewhat in two years. While in Mil
ton we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. A. Cal
wal!ader,"the ex and coming County Treasurer.'
Hu is not a very rugged looking gentleman, but
looks like a champion runner, as he proved him
self four years ago. We will do the best we can
to train him for the coming race.
Lat Wednesday there was a covered wagon,
containing a blind man, an old woman and a lit
tle boy, stopped at the school house below tn-.ra
with the intention of staying over night. A few
hours after their arrival there the man took very
sick. Medical aid was required, nnd Dr. Horner
was sent for, and has been attending regular
ever since. The people in the neighborhood
have furnished them with the necessary fool and
clothing. Mr. Dcrr was kind enough to let them
in the school house, where some of the citizens
put up a bed and cooking stove, mailing it quite
comfortable for them. Collections for their
benefit were taken In the Union and Reformed
churches. Rev. Mr. Myers visits the sick man
frequently, r.nd i one of the number who ha9
been supplying the family with food.
The first spelling bee in this end of the county
was helj in the Presbyterian church, at Mc
Ewcusville. last Saturday evening, the proceeds
of which are to procure shade trees to be planted
around the church. The first match, for which
a rriza worth one dollar was offered, was for
children under twelve years of age, and was won
by Robert Gaston, a son of S. P. Gaston. The
second match was between Dr. Sil'e and Alfred
Montgomery. The rrize for this match was a
beautiful boquel prepared for the occasion by
the young ladies of McEwensvilie. The con
testants spelled very well for a while, till the
enunciulor gave the word "fascination" to Mr.
M., who tried to present a very fascinating ap
pearance at the time, bnt not er.ough so to spell
the word correctly, therefore the Dr. won the
boquct. As for the third match, it will be to
our own credit to keep quiet about it.
The next match was for a three dollar prize.
There were fonr competitors for this prize, and
Mr. Montgomery was tbe successful one, he be
iug a mau who is always very generous to the
ladies, presented the prize to Miss Mary Matchcn,
the only lady speller in the class. Wc were
never suro about this bee having a etinger, but
ba this as it may, we wctc pretty badly stUDg
