HON. HF.NRY I!UV),r,
Of Erie.
In our letter from Lancaster will be
found the proceedings of the Republican
State Convention, held ou Monday laet
The utmost good feeling marked its deliber
ations, and the cuthusiasm for the ticket
was emphatically strong. The platform is
a plain straight forward document, and
meets with a hearty endorsement of the
people. The resolution on the third term
question is sufficiently emphatic to put a
quietus to that doctrine in Pennsylvania.
The nomination of General Ilartranft is a
handsome tribute to the patriotism, moral j
abilities of one of the very best Governors
Pennsylvania has ever had. His election
by a triumphant majority is a forgone con
clusion. The contest for the State Treasurership
developed considerable strength for Hon.
B. B. Strang, and Col. Andrew Stewart.
Ou the second ballot, Hon. Henry Rawle,
of Erie city, received a majority and Ids 1
nomination was made unanimous. The
friends of Messrs. Strongand Stewart cheer
fully acqueisced aud pledged themselves to
labor with all the energy the) can command
to aid iu rolling up a heavy majority for
the ticket With such standard bearers

A Kansas City (Mo.) disjKitch says:
Tho grasshoppers have jenetrated the heart
of the city, moving in a vast army, going
north. Trenches are bciug dug, millions
are slaughtered, but nothing can 6top the
rcd-lecgcd pests in their march. Many
drive them from grounds with water from
hydrants. Their depredations are becom
ing very serious. Iawhs are being strip-'

stroyeu. Nothing can be raised except in
greenhouses. They cover the sidewalks,
fences, yards, etc., and the citizens, instead
of going to Church on Sunday, destroyed!
them all day by the bushel. In many ;
places so many have been killed that an
i i t '
almost unenuurauie stencn nas oeen crea
ted, and sanitary measures have been taken
to prevent disease. One man dug a trench j
eight hundred Let long, into which he
drives them and kills millions.
That was a sad scene in tho Chicago
court room, when Mrs. Lincoln was de
claired insane, acd remanded to an asylum
for treatment Her son necessarily became
prosecutor in the case, but urged the suit
in the tenderesl manner possible. There
seemed no other course open, in view of
the properly interests at stake. The evi
dence renders it quite clear that the poor
woman is of unsound mind. The hock of
the assassination, of her husband being the
one that evidently unbalanced bcr facul
ties. The idea f assassination seems ever
with her. How sad her fate ! Fifteen
years ago, exultaut, hopeful, and full of
rightful, honest pride, she left her modest
home in Springfield, and attended her hus
band to Washington, where Bhe remained
the centre of notice, and the wife of the
most popular man in the country the
President of the United States. His re
election gave promise of four additional
years of honor, aud the end of the war
cave expectation of peace and domestic
enjoyment. Amid the blaze of illumina
tions in honor of peace, sue repaired to the
theatre with her husband only to see him
murdered iu her very presence. The tragic
idiout of "Sic MMfxr Vjrunnus" was a mys
tery to lit r. She Lad known the President
not as one w ho hnd tyrannized over, or
B iuglit to inpuir the liberties of his people,
but rather u a gentle, loving, paternal
ruler, ud f jud Lusbaod. Then came sud
dru departure from the capital, and descent
from a giddy elevation, then abuse aud
criticihui, t'.icu ill-health and travel abroad
then the death of an idolized ton, then
fcuSLiing, and finally partial iusatiity.

through the city they were greeted with
cheers, and many euconiums were evoked
by their fine appearance and correct de

of the club, in the Square. Thousands of

The Republicans of Pennsylvania, af

party whose pcrpetualiou is rcudered ne
cessary by the ciuses which called it into
existence, make declaration of the fuda
mcntal principles of their political faith as
follows :
1. The equality of all men before the law.
Equal justice to all and special favors to
none.
2. The harmony of the National and
State governments. Both are parte of one
system, alike necessary for the common
prosperity, peace and security.
3. The unity of the nation. We are one
people. The Constitution of the United
States forms a government, not a league.
4. A faithful execution of the laws, an
economical administration of the govern
ment, integrity iu office, honesty in all
branches of the civil service, and a rigid
accountability of public officers.
Protection to home industry and a
home market for home products.

and encouragement, and the promotion of
harmony between labor and capital.
7. Cheap transportation and the advance
ment of closer intercourse between all parts
of the country.
8. Free banking, a safe and uniform na
tional currency, adjusted to the growing
wants of the business interests of the
conlry, and a steady reduction of the na
tional debt.
0. The public domaiu being the heritage
of the people should be ret-erved for actual
settlers exclusively.
10. The equalization of the bounties of
soldiers and a speedy settlement of all just
claims arising out of the late war,
11. Honest men in office men with
brains enough to know dishonesty when
they see it, and courage enough to fight it
wherever they find it.
1. Resolved, That we declare a firm and
unqualified adherence to the unwritten law
of the Republic, which wisely, and under
the sanctiou of the most venerable of exam
ples, limits the Presidential service of any
citizens to two terms ; aud we, the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania, in recognition of
this law, arc unalterably opposed to the
election to the Presidency of any jn-rson
for a third term.
2. Resolved, That the Republican party
of this Commonwealth recall with oride
their effective agency in the creation of the
administration of President Ulyeses S.
Grant, aud poiut with confideuce to its
general policy and the beneficent fruits
thereof, for their vindication aud his : that
having received the Government from his
predecessor demoralized in every branch ;
corruption and iccklessness iu office the
rule ; the fruits of the war ungathered ; the
lately rebellious States sullen ; the late
slaves unprotected aud yet denied that
great means of self-protection, the ballot;
foreign Slates uuehasteny for their wrongs
to us aud home Suites defiantly inefficient
to the expiation which, their rebellious ac
tion required differ, the administration of
President Grant has in six short years
steadily and uupretendingly reformed every
knowu abuse and is to-day relentlessly upon
the track of wrong-doers ; has largely re
duced the nation's debt ; has largely re
duced the people's taxes; has induxibly
puuished all violations of law ; has secured
by constitutional provioiou the ballot to all
freemen, and by law thrown sorely needed
safeguards around the ballot box ; has
wrung from unfriendly foreign Slates, con-
fesaion of fheir faulty and raparation for
injuries done us, and has influenced reluc
tant, home States to at least the appearance
of just dealings with all citizens ; all which
events make the present administration as
j umong the most brilliant achievements in
our annuls.
.". Resolved, Thatiu presenting the name
of Governor John V. Ilartranft for re-election
to the exalted position which he now
Gils, we meet the unanimous wish of our
constituents who desire, iu this manner, to
indicate the approval of tho careful, con
scientious and able manner in which he has
met aud discharged every duty incumbent
upon him making, thereby, a record
which will secure his reputation as one of
the best upon the roll of our chief magis
trates. Brave in the tiield, modest in the
cabinet, tried often aud always fouud faith
ful self-poised, just and honest, we present
him for the suffrages of the people, confi
dent that their judgment n'iil approve and
ratify our nomination.
". Resolved, That iu view of the evils
common to the Government of most of tho
largo municipalities of the country and of
the constant increase in municipal tax a-! of Philadelphia, the nomination was made
tion iu this and other States of the Union, j unanimous.
it behooves our legislature to devise ade- j Hon. C. O. Bowman, of Eiie, then thank
quale meaus to protect the people an well j ed the convention on behalf of Mr. Rawle,
from existiug mal-ad ministration as to pre
vent ita recurrence ; and to this end we
susg'jst as a preliminary step a thorough
investigation by an able and experienced
commission, to be formed under proper
authority, of the whole subject.
f. Resolved That we arraign the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania, for the utter
failure to redeem the promises upon which
it partially attained to power in this State.
It pledged itself to Reform, to Legislative
purity, to greater economy, ami to a higher
aim in legislation, while it has reformed
nothiug; has economized iu nothing, and
has dishouoied the State by an unscemed
and arbitrary exercise of legislative Pow
ers. 6. Resolved, That tho efforts now being
made by tin; national administration to
ferrot out and bring to punishment those
who have been defrauding the government
of its lawful revenues, should enlist the
sympathy and hearty support of honest
men of all parties.
The resolution limiting the number of
terms of the presideut to two was read,
and applauded, and cries of "read it over"
were heard, when Mr. McPherson, at the
request of the president, read it again.
The resolution were then unanimously
adopted.
On motion of lion. Johu Cessna, the :
convention proceeded to nominations for
Governor.
Hon. William B. Mann, of Philadelphia,
nominated Major-Geueral John F. Hart- '
ran ft for Governor, and spoke as follows : i
Jin. Chaikman' : There uever was a

recent success, and iluslied with anticipated
victory, our political oppouents are rejoic
itig already over the hoped for and long
prayed for defeat of the Republican party
in our State, and in order to prevent such a
disaster, wo. must forego all dissentious,
discard all differences, and unite as oue
man upon the worthiest candidate that can
be selected.
Happily for us there is no diversity of
sentiment as to who is the truest and most
worthy. This convention, animated by
the feeling that extends all over the State,
is prepared, without a dissenting voice, to

to maintain a nation's existence, and ex-1
hibiting upon the crimsoned field a hero
ism unsurpassed, or quietly and unosten
tatiously serving his country iu civil sta
tion, he has acquitted himself so nobly and
so honorably as to deserve and receive the
grateful encomiums of his countrymen.
In all the trying circumstances that sur

faltered in his efforts to advance justice
and maintain the right
By a wise oversight he has protected the
weak from the assaults of the strong. He
has shown an untiring watchfulness over
the various interest and industries of the
State, and has commended himself to all
who have at heart the prosperity and wel
fare of Pennsylvania.
With such a oue as our caudidate, we
advance the first step towards success by
showing the people of the State that we de
serve it.
We consolidate all our party strength,
for all admit that this is the nomination to
be made, aud all require it.
We present an uuited front, and with
his name upon our banner we unfurl it to
the breeze amid an enthusiasm that is
always kindled when men rally to the sup

When our opponents lake the field under
that banner, we will assemble our entire
strength. We will march against them
"when the ban ihe arricre ban and the
oriflaminc displayed."
From our own fertile valleys, Irom our
hill-sides, and around our mountain tops,
the glad voices of Pcnsylvauia's freemen
will ratify this nomination ; aud when the
strife begins with spirit and bitterness, as
it surely will, detraction will be powerless,
for it has spent its force upon him. In his
case it cannot depress, it only aids to ele
vate. We place the slaudard of the Republi

to him lead on and those who follow him
will march to victo ry.
I here nominate, and I am sure this will
be received with acclamation, Gexkral
John F. IIahtkanft as the Republican
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania.
B. Frank Eshlemau then said that when
Ilartranft was placed in nomination three
years ago, Lancaster county, although
much was said about his political life, did
well for him, and asked the honor of sec
onding the nomination made by the gen
tleman from Philadelphia. He spoke of
the efficient officer which the governor had
made, of his army record, and said Lan

THE DEKTRKTIOX OF A TOWN.
OSCEOLA SWEPT OVER BY FOR
EST FIRES.
Osceola, Pa., May 20.
One of the most destructive forest fires
that has ever occurred in this section of
the country is now raging all around the top
of the mountain near the summit of which
the town of Osceola stood at 10 o'clock
this morning. For the past two weeks
fires kindled from sparks from the locomo
tives were burning in the woods along side
of the mountain, but they were not of a
threatening nature, and did not cause any
apprehension in the minds of the people.
This morning, however, a brisk wind
sprang up from the northwest, which, by
10 o'clock in the forenoon, had increased
to a terrible gale. The towu of Osceola,
containing 1,500 inhabitants, is situated on
the brow of a hill, which is itself surround
ed by a number of lesser hills, all thickly
wooded.
Early iu the forenoon the chutes of the
Philadelphia mine, nearly opposite the
town, look fire, and almost simultaneously
the flames began to creep out of the woods
all around the town. Even then uo danger
was anticipated, and it was not until the
flames had actually caught some of the
houses ou the outskirts that the people
began to realize their position.
At uoon the guests of the Lipton House
among them your correspondent--uot
kuowing of the danger to the town, were
joking about the possibility of the fire
reaching the kitchen before the conclusion
of dinner.
An hour afterward the Lipton House
was in ashes, and the guests, with a num
ber of others, were fighting the flames
around the office in which, this dispatch is
being written.
Inside, the place was filled with terrified
women, and outside the meu were carrying
paila of water through the blinding smoke
to dampen the wooden structure and pre
vent the sparks from igniting it.
After the flames had caught the upper
end of the town, they swept down the side
of the mouutain with terrible rapidity.
The fire burning in the woods all around
sent up clouds of smoke, which completely
enveloped the town.
For a time egress seemed impossible, but
the violence of the wind accasionally lifted
the smoke, and enabled the affrighted popu
lation lo make their way toward tho depot
Here there was a terrible suspense of near
ly an hour.
No train was in the depot, and the
flames were rapidly approachiug the frame
dwelling used by the railroad company.
On every side the fire barred escape. For
tunately the telegraph lines were working,
and assistance was asked from the fire de
partments of Tyrone and Altoona.
When the hope of escape was least, Mr.
Dauiel Wood, the train master on the Mo
shannon and Clearfield branches of the
road, rau a train of about twenty box cars
into the depot, aud at once commenced to
load them with women and children.
It seemed almost impossible that the i
train could pass with safety through the
burning woods, but a trip was made and
the human freight taken to Philipsburg, a
large town situated on a largo tract of
cleared land, some miles above this place.
After the fire, commencing at the top of
the mountain, had swept down until it
joined the llames reachiug out fiom the
woods on the side opposite to that where
it commenced, a hope was still entertained
that a large sawmill, owned by the Mo
shauou Land and Lumber company, situ
ated on the Moshaunou, just at the edge of
the woods at the western end of the town,
might be saved, and with that portion of
the town immediately adjoining the mill.
The mill contained 14,000,000 feet of cut
lumber. Mr. Lacoste, the Superintendent,
with a number of his men, tried to fight
the flames with buckets of water, but the
unequal contest ended after two hours'
hard work.
Hardly had the flames found their way
into the lumber piles when a terrible ex
plosion was heard, and a house sonio dis
tance away was blown into atoms. It had
been a hardware store, and in the stock
were two barrels of blastiug powder.
The explosion seut the burning frag
ments of the house iu different directions,
and besides ignitiug a portion of the town,
at that time untouched by the flames, set
lire to the woods a long distance back of
the place where the fire first appeared.
Tyrone, May 21.
Hie confusion is so great, and the tele
graph line is kept so busy with railroad
business, that it is impossible to get much
further particulars about the lire at Osceola

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE TOWN OF
OSCEOLA PILLirsnURG IN DANGER.
Tyrone. May 22.
Reports were received here late last night
that the fire was approaching the town of
Phillipsburg. In order to save the town
from destruction the burgess ordered that
all the brush around the place should at
once be set on fire, which was done at a
late hour.
The refugees from Osceola, on seeing
that the tire was so near, were terribly
frightened for a while, thinkiug that the
raging clement would again compel them
to run away from their new shelter. For
tunately there was not much wind.
About 250 men were sent, and are out
lighting the flames at the points from which
the most danger was to be feared. The
little thriving towu of Osceola is leveled to
the ground, and smokiug piles of ashes are
all that is left of the houses.
It is a sad sight to see men, women and
children looking for their lost homes, aud
Beeking some mementoes from their once
happy abodes. Neighboring towns arc
sending money and provisions for the relief
of the unfortunates.
P. Gray Meek, of Bellefonte, arrived here
last night e ii route for Osceola, with three
hundred dollars in cash, contributed by the
charitable of liellefonte, and a large lot of
provisions, the gift of ex-Governor Curtin.
An enthusiastic meeting was also held
here last eveniug, in aid of the Osceola
sufferers. A large sum of money was
cheerfully subscribed by the citizens.
(LATI'K.)
Tyrone, Pa., May 22.
The fire around Osceola is abating some,
but fears arc entertained that the strong
wind which is now blowing there may
cause the fire to increase. Hoover, Harris
& Co.'s mill, which was reported as de
stroyed, is standing yet.
The railroad bridges on the branch be
tween Osceola and Houtzdale, which were
burnt, are bciug rapidly rebuilt by the
Company, aud it is hoped that shipments
of coal can be made early next week.
Supt. Blair, of this Division, is out there
with about 50 men, working day and night.
Houtzdale is not utterly destroyed as be
fore reported.
The latest reprots say that only about
fourteeu houses on the outskirts of the
town were consumed, but more trouble is
anticipated from the fact that the fire is
rapidly increasing and raging fearfully in
the vicinity.
It is feared that more damage will be
done to the property.
Some of the sufferers are quartered iu tho
Methodist church at Osceola, where pro
visions are delt out to them by the relief
committee. Others are at Phillipsburg.
A great many have left this section for
their distant homes.
Reports just received from Williamsburg
say that the fire is not so large in that re
gion as last night. About 300 men were
out all night fighting the raging flames.
It seems nothing less than miraculous
that iu all the confusion among the terror
stricken people no lives were lost. This
is, however, due lo mauy heroic acts which
have been performed during the conflagra
tion. Mrs. Stineberger, who was reported as
lost, has joined her friends again.
LATER.
The fire in Phillipsburg is decreasing.
There is but little wind at present, and
every prospect of rain.
Sc-ranton, May 20.
This afternoon the forests around Toby
hanna, a town some twenty-five miles
distant on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
and Western railroad, took fire, and the
utmost excitement prevailed anions the
citizens who feared its destruction.
The most vulnerable poiut of attack for
the flames was the extensive saw mill of
Wm. E. Dodge and Co., which had a nar
row escape. The fire is still raging, but it
is thought that all danger to the town for
this nigut is passed. Gangs of men are out
combatting the flames at many points.
The spectacle of the burning forests is a
terrific one.

Maucii Chunk, Pa., May 24. The tire
in the immediate vicinity of the Hickory
run and Mud run lumber regions has sub-
sided, but the names are still raging m the
uuderbrush of the forest The rain on
Sunday did not reach these localities, but,
passing in a southeast direction, quenched
the flames in this neighborhood, Weiss
port and Parryville. The fires near the
mining villages are reported as out. The
loss to William Getz, David Snyder, John
Echcrtand Francis Warueris very great,
having all their sawmills, residences, Sec,
in the Mud run region, entirely consumed.
The fire raged with great severity in the
pine swamp of this county, and many
acres of land have beeu laid waste. No
lives were lost in any part of the county
where the fires raged. A generous rain is
is much desired, not only to put out the
j flames but also to recupe rate the growing
vegetation.

THE PACIFIC COAST.
A word or explanation now TO GET
THERE THE COUNTRY SAN FRAN
CISCO CHINAMEN OTHER rEOPLE
THE CLIMATE.
San Francisco, May 20, 18T5.
A WORD OF EXPLANATION.
I have been for nearly two years keeping
you, gentle reader, posted as to life, politics,
and things in the Eastern metropolis. Be
ing like other men desirous of seeing all
there is of the world, I am in the Western
metropolis. Have you any objection to
knowing something of this end of the
world ? Of eourse not. So for a few
weeks at least. I shall send you a letter
j from this side of tho continent instead of
! the other.
HOW TO GET THERE.
Take any route you choose to Chicago,
and then take the Chicago and North-western
Koad to Omaha. Take Pullman cars,
if you have to go with one meal a day less,
for the comfort of riding all day in them
and sleeping in them nights, pays for more
thau ten times the cost. If you have auy
regard for your bones, take the Pullman
car at Chicago, and pay the price without
grumbling. There is a blessing on any
seat iu them. At Omaha it is Ilobson's
choice, for thure is but one railroad the
Uuion Pacific. You can walk to San
Francisco, but I would not advise it. A
walk of 2,000 miles is no joke. I know
something about it, for I not only had a
substitute iu the army, who was in Sher
man's march to the sea, but I was person
ally in the late blockade caused by the
break at Green Iliver, on the Union Pacific,
and was compelled to walk four miles
around it. At the start I thought I could
walk the whole distance to San Francisco ;
at the end of the first mile I concluded to
take the cars again at Ogden, ti00 miles
ahead, and by the time I got to where the
train was that was to take us ou, I was
quite contented to crawl iuto the Pullman,
aud permit steam to do the walking for me.
Don't walk it, that is if you weigh 240
pounds.
THE COUNTRY.
From Omaha through the entire State of
Nebraska, the eye is delighted with a suc
cession of views of the finest country that
lies out of doors. Vast plains of the most
beautiful lands in tho world stretch out on
either baud, intersected by the most lovely
streams of clear rapid running water, the
tables rising one above the other. Rich,
prosperous towns are located at convenient
distances, and everywhere there are visible
signs of thrift and prosperity.
When you leave Nebraska, however, you
strike another kind of country. Through
Wyoming Territory the sago brush and
alkali plains abound, and they continue
till the eye wearies of them. Imagine a
vast plain, reaching farther than your eye,
treeless aud grassless, covered with wild
sage aud the still more disagreeable grease
wood, and inhabited by no living thing.
A tomtit would starve oq a thousand acres,
and snakes grow poor there. There is no
water for vegetation, and grease-wood seem
to grow there from a desire to make a na
turally bad landscape worse.
After crossiug the Rocky Mountains you
find some good lands till you pass Ogden,
in Utah, then you come to sage brush
again, with rocks throwu iu to add to the
general dreariness of the scene. On the
west slope of the Sierra Nevadas you get
patches of the most delightful country till
you get down to the California plain, when
you strike a country the beauty of which
may be imagined, but cannot be described.
It is simply gorgeous. I shall have some
thing more to say of the country from
Omaha to San Francisco hereafter.
Ry tho way, if you want to know all
about Nebraska, send a postal card to O.
F. Davis, Omaha, Nebraska, asking him
to send you a copy of the Pionef r, which
he will do free of charge. It is reliable and
truthful, and is full of valuable information
about that country.
SAX FRANCISC O
is a modern wonder. Scarcely twenty
years old, it contain nearly 200,000 peo
ple, and as many fine buildings as any city
of its size in the country. Many buildings
indeed the most of them are low, three
stories being the regular height, which
gives the city something of a squatty ap
pearance, but there is a reason for this.
Earthquakes are somewhat common on
this coast, and when they come they shake
up things rather lively. But why they
build low on this account I cannot sec. If
a building tumbles down what difference
does its height make ? If a stone weighing
ten tons is to fall on me in an earthquake I
don't see that it would make any difference
whether it dropped from the top of a three
or a b5x 8torT building. But there may be
I a difference. And if I can employ a China
raan at a reasonable price to make the ex
! PriQleI win uo so and report. I am
I willing to Uo almost anything to get at
i facls !pea'iin2 f
chinamen.
1 Here you have them in all their native
1 ualineas. They come here first, and a ma
:jonty of them stay here. They do the
j most of the housework, all the washing
. anfl ironin? ftljd ft yery rtion
j of lbe cobbling and cigar-making. They
i are not particular as to how they make a
j livin!?' 80 that tlley make it. They will
' wash your linen, clean your windows, scrub
yur Boors' wait at your tables ; or they
i wilt 8 out into the mountains and shovel
dirt on your railways. They are industri
ous, quick, active, and, as a rule, faithful ;
aud accustomed as they are to strict obedi
ence, they are easily managed. As cooks
and chambermaids, or rather chambcrmen,
thev are favorites with Californian house
keepers, f-r they are neat and trustworthy.
A Chinaman waiting at table, with his
sight for sick stomachs to one who has in
j wardly rebelled at the greasy men waiters
; of the East. By the way, why don't the
j people of the East, who have been so long
j under the iron heel of Biddyocracy, send
: here for Chiuese servants ? Think. O ye
1
io nave :t ficnaut who can cook, cnon
wood, clean windows, clean buggies, run
on errands, make up beds, and do every
thing else with the silence and precision of
a machine who can understand all you
say, but whose only answer is, "Allcelite."
i That's the kind of a slave to have. And
you can get them for from $12 to $25 per
month. They are so cheap that I am going
to have three of them. I have nothing
under heaven for them to do, but they are
so cheap that it seems a pity uot to indulge
in Chinamen.
They ought to be put in the mines and
ou the railways of the East for the sake of
peace and quite. They don't strike or
combine, and they uever get drunk Satur
day nights. And it is a mistake to sup
pose that they are of uo use to the com
munities in which they dwell. They earn
their money and spend it as do other peo
ple. True, they save something every
month, but I never hoard that thriftiness
was a vice. Nor are they going back to
China to any alarming extent At the be-
frinninrr thpv Hwl cm tialr wlinn tliow liwl
j made their pile, but now they put it in
j town lots, and stay. They have discover-
i ed that they can live here and die here
that they can live- aettcr here than in China,
and here they are going to stay. The
Chinaman ou this coast is a fixed fact, and
politicaus may a9 well got ready to court
him. He cannot be driven from work, he
cannot be prevented from earning and sav
ing money, and when he gets money, he is
going to have political influence. He may
gel strong enough here in time to be alder
man aud policeman, and may get up riots
to kill off other foregners nay, he may do
as other foreigners have done on the At
lantic coast, run the machine so entirely as
to make it impossible for an American to
hold an office ; but that is in the future.
Up to this time, he is a good fellow, and a
very useful one. 1 shall have more to say
about him hereafter, for 1 am going into
his home and see how he lives.
Other People.
Leave out the Chinamen and you wouldn't
know San Francisco from Boston, New
York or Chicago. You find here the pure
New Englandcr, the same as he is in Bos
ton, the bustling New Yorker and the
risky Chicagoian, and each has brought
with him the peculiarities which distin
guished him at his home. Ireland is not
as well represented here as in New York,
but the Italians, Germans and French are
very plenty. The city is a little tinged
with the Orient, but leaving that out it is
very like Chicago. There is the same stir,
bustle and push ; everybody moves in a
hurry, business is quickly begun and rapid
ly concluded iu short, it is the Chicago of
tho Pacific.
I like San Francisco. I shall study its
pecularitie8 and write of it more at length.
I want to get inside the homes and the
business places, the amusements and the
churches.

We may now venture the opinion that spring

A keg of good spikes could b used advanta

Last season Simon Opp raised twenty-five
bushels of onious irom one pound of seed. He
must expect to supply tho country this year, for
he has sowed two pounds of seed. The only
way we can account for his raising so many
onions from so small an amount of seed. Is he is
so industrious he don't let the weeds have a
chance to grow.
The Sunday school convention of the Baptist

Editor of tht An.erican :
Grain looks very poor at
this end of ths connty. We had no rain dnrinr
this mouth to moisten the ground enough for
cither grain or grass. The potatoes and corn
has been planted several weeks ago, hot it is too
dry for either to come lip.
The cut worms, which are generally very de
structive to corn, are bnsv destroying whole
fields of clover this spring ; one of my neigh
bors noticed that bis clover fields were iufested
with something, and by examining, he discover
ed a worm, rembling the one generally fonnd
at the corn, aud since, the supervisor with a set
of men working on the highway, discovered
the worms In great numbers in the gronnd,
henca we fear if the corn shonld come np once,
it will be destroyed by the worms.
The strikers made tbir appearance in onr
townships aud vicinity ou last Tuesday, the 18th
Inst. They came down about three miles on this
(wet-tern) side of Klingemovrn. stopping at
eveiy farm house begging. Oue man told me he
gave tbcra pork, flour and a half bushel of pota
toes, but they were not satistftd with the half
bnsbel, the wanted more, making threats to
take more by force, bat be maunged to get rid of
them without any more trouble. They came in
two two horse wagons, and when nil together,
numbered eighteen meu.
Tour correspondent was informed this day
that the same party of out-laws stopped at the
house of widow Wiest, in this township, asking
her for meat, which she. refused to them ; then
the party went to the smoke-house and took all
the meat she had aud left. No donbt they made
a good haul there, for she has always a good
supply of meat.
The government authorities should force thcin
ont of the land or make them go to work, or at
least, to stop them from plundering or murder
ing. They are worse than the rcbs. or the Sonth.
It is soon time the government will take the
afluir in charge or the farmers mast there is no
protection hero whatever; we have no police
and no guards, and hence there is a talk of
guarding ourselves to protect onr property and
