We are glad to see that our friend J. K. Davis,
Esq., has again located in Sunbtiry, with a view
or remaining permanently. He will hereafter be
round in the extensive law office of 8. P.
Wolvcrton, where he can be seen at all times
attending to clients. Mr. Davis is a rising
young lawyer, who has had extensive practice at
the bar in this county, where he is favorably
known to all who have attended our courts for
some years past.
FimR. John I. Parker, Esq., well known
throughout this county, has lately taken the
.flouring mills at Collomsville, Lycoming county,
and Is manufacturing first class family flour for
a wholesale and retail trade, nis flour Is pro
nounced superior to any manufactured In this
part of the country, and is gaining a wide repn
tatlon for its excellent quality. Mr. Parker Is
making arrangements to supply dealers In this
county, who will find that, after a trial, it will
take the lead as a su(erlor article. Dealers will
do well to address Mr. Parker to ascertain his
rates and procure samples.
All are Pi.easeo. The customers of J. F
Schaffer never complain of bad fitting clothing,
ills work is no complete that no complaints are
heard, and the general satisfaction given induces
others to get their clothing made to order at his
establishment. Mr. Schaffer has a large assort
ment of goods to select fiom, which arc made
up to order and at the most reasonable prices.
We are pleased to notice that very few of the
Democratic editors of the State arc so deeply
sunk in political rancor as to publish the lie that
the Governor has walnut doors for his horse sta
ble, costing a fabulous amount. He must be an
ignorant clown whose gullibility enables him to
6wallow encli a "whopper." ITarrisburg Tele

Tub Primart Election os Satlrdat. The
Democratic primary election held in this bor
ough on Saturday last, will long be remembered
as the most boisterous that has been held for
many years. Store excitement prevailed at both
polls than is generally seen at a general election.
The contest between some of the candidates was
very close, and the friends of the differ-nt candi
dates had worked themselves up to a high pitch,
and the result was that the scene around the
polls looked more liko a mob than anything we
could compare it too. A number of the mem
bers of the party became weak under the influ
ence or too much excitement, we believe they
called it. In the East Ward, K. T. Drumhellcr
and J. C. Morgan, candidates ror sheriff, ran a
tie Tor the delegates. The windows where the
tickets were received was kept blocked, and as a
voter approached ho was besieged on all sides.
Several difficulties arose between parties, which
came near to blows. At the West Ward election ,
held at the Court House, there was a busy time,
and some or the augry pussions rose, nnd threats
of black eyes nnd battered faces were freely in
dulged in. The contest was for sheriff. A strong
effort was made to defeat Thomas M. Pnrsel in
his own ward by a few personal enemies, but
they did not succeed. Maj. Dewart, however,
was elected a delegate over Mr. Samuel Mautz,
and J. A. Cake, who was also a canaidate, re
ceived but rew votes, ns it was alleged against
him that he had not beeu iu the Democratic
party long enongh to be trusted, and had to
suffer a defeat. Altogether there was more con
fusion and strife than we have ever seen In this
place.
From nearly every district in the county we
leant that the same scenes took place, nnd diffi
culties occurred at nearly everv poll. The bar
mouious Democracy in this county are fast be
coming like the wolves in the forests of Sibe
ria ; when those animals cauuol find animals or
human beings to prey upon, turn to rend each
other's flesh. It was wolf against wolf, and the
scene was so disgusting and slckeuing thai it
had a tendency to turn every man of principle
away. The fight to-day in the Democratic party
is the dirtiest ever waged In or out of a party in
this State. It appears that Democratic orators
and organs are the same as many of the mem
bers who arc shrieking epithets in each others
cars, and cast on each other the vilest slang.
We venture to say that on Saturday last there
were many honest Democtats who approached
the polls with the bSM intentions, and turned
away utterly disgusted w ith the conduct of the
leaders or modern Democracy.
Monday last was an exciting day for the De
mocracy. 1 he victims cr ambitious aspirations
for office that are doomed for slaughter in No
vember, were selected, after an exciting contest
in the nominating convention. The programme
which had been laid out on the ring slate was
suddenly changed, and when Slrine was made
sheriff instead of Weaver, ns originally inleuded,
new combinations were suddeuly formed, in
which our frieuds in the lower cud, including the
Mahsnoys, were left out in the cold. This move
ment brought to the surface some who had near
ly reached the bottom, aud caused consternation
among the leaders of the ring curses and raut-
tcrings both loud and deep were heard when the
result was announced. The ballotting for trea
surer was a three-handed light, closely contested.
When the result was proclai medj the successful
candidate, accompanied by the editor of the
Democrat, sent up a yell that would have done no
discredit to the Modocs or Comanches in the mad
cess of their orgies. Arm in arm the freuzied
couple rushed down the back stairs, shouting at
the top of their voices, followed by a molly crowd,
while persons rushed into the court house from
the street, to sec from what source those uu-
carthly yells proceeded, and whether live Indians
were about, and had mudc a descent on the as
tonished delegates.
Not Among the Usknows Dead. Alexaudcr
Shields, wb? was drowned in the river oi the
25iu of June last, aud having no relatives in this
part of the country, was buried iu the cemetery
al this place. His comrades aud friends,, who
held him in high esteem, as an appreciation or
their friendship, raised money and had a neat
tombstone placed at his grave to mark the spot
of their beloved comrade. Part of the Inscrip
tion reads thus : "Erected by his comrades of
P. and E. R. W. as a token ol their respect."
Much honor is due to the young men who caused
this tribute of respect erected to their departed
friend, who but lately came among them a stran
ger. They were unwilling that he should tie
numbered among the unknown dead, aud by
their act show that they have hearts that appre
ciate the good acts of a worthy young man,
whose manly conduct and pure heart was ever
ready to relieve his fellow men though a stran
ger to them. This generous act of a sett of
sturdy, hardworking men who daily battle be
tween life aud death, knowing not what moment
they nu.y be called to meet their comrade in an
other wo rid, is one that feelingly brings to the
mind of those in the pursuits or life more favor
ed, ' by is It that so many of our dear ones
numbered among the dead arc not re me in be red
iu the same manner."
Elopement cases are becoming very frequent
now-a-days- AJaiost daily do we notice in our
exchanges of runaway matches principally
women with young men whom they imagine they
love better thau their husband whom they have
sworn to love until death parts tliem. In nearly
every instance, however, these truant women re
turn after an absence of a few days rcsretting
the step they have pursued. Last week we no
tice iu the Sbamokin papers of a Mrs. Claybergcr
eloping with a youug mail named Thomas. In
a few days afterwards she returned and asked
forgiveness from her husband, and all was made
serene and happy. Some husbands are easily
pacified.
Something for Youno Men. If a mechanic
or clerk saves only 21; cents a day, from the
time he is twenty-one until he is three seore nn(l
ten, the aggregate, with interest, will amount to
2,900 ; aud a daily saving of27a' cents reaches
the importaut sum of 59,000. A sixpence saved
daily will provide a fund or 7,000 sufficient to
purchase a good Turin . There are few employees
who cannot save daily, by abstaining from the
use of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc., twice or ten
times the amount or the six ccut piece. Every
person should provide for old age, and the man
in business who can save a dollar a day will
cveutually find himself pVseseed of over $100,
0C0. J.uk Siiei'Pakd, with his silver voiced trum- j
pet nnd new siikcu banner, visited our town ou
Tuesday last, and sold a large number or his
papers, the Gotjxl Trumpet. While iu this place
he called at onr office aud left a copy of his pa
per for our inspection. If J ack is crazy, as some
believe him to be, his madness hat not assumed
so malignant i type as to prevent him from mak
ing the stamps. He understands "business," and
does not wait fur a fortune to overtake him, but
he follows it op, and no doubt will sometime
succeed In overtaking it, and theu will laugh at
those who call him crazy because they ain't as
crazy as he was. The "Trumpet contains some
very truthTul hits, although the editor Is a Dem
ocrat and is considered crazy. His true name is
John Henry Denig.
Ai.pf.knet and Ayrshire Cattle Given
Awat. The Upper Dauphin Agricultural Asso
ciation, at Millersbutg, Pa., will hold their
fourth annual fair at that place on Tuesday, 7th
8ept., 1875, to continue four days, and offer ns
awards by lot to the one dollar season ticket
holders as a free gift, six head or the choicest
thoroughbred Aldcrney and Ayrshire cattle, to
gether with the finest varieties or Michigan seed
wheat.
Such enterprises and liberality is a new de
parture and in the right direction, and should
be the means ot drawiug to their beautiful
grounds one of the most immense gatherings of
the honest yeomanry of the country ever assem
semblcd together at a country fair.
Numbered tickets aud such only will be repre
sentcd in the awards, and can be had until day
of fair from J. G. Gurtner, their local agent, at
Adams Express office. Aug.13, 8t.
In the convention of the Democracy ou Mon
day last, onr friend Wm. Hoover, who was one
of the candidates, not on the ring slate for nomi
nation as sheriff, made, nevertheless, a credita
ble show, and exhibited more real strength, un
der the circn instance, than any of the other can
didatcs.
Tns drug store of E. G. Frcy, at Monlandou,
was eutered on Monday night by burglars, and
oae hundred and twentv dollars worth of goods
stolen.

SCNBL'RY, August 28, 1S75.
Tv the I'rcfideiU aud Ikletjatet of the Vemut rnlic
Ctnvevtivn vf Xvrthvtiibcrlatul County:
Gentlemen : Your convention or 1874 did me
the honor or selecting me as their candidate for
Governor, and conlei red upon me ttic right ol
selecting my own delegates to the coming con
vention at, Kiie.
A most careful consideration of the matter has
only confirmed my lirsl impressious mat I
ought not, in view or my professional business
at this time, be a candidate ror nomination. I
thcrerorc decline to have my name presented to
the coming Democratic State Convention, and
surrender to vou the right ol selecting delegates
to represent t lie Democratic party of this county
at Eric.
Hoping that our Slate Convention may give us
a nominee wormy oi success, ana wuu uiuuy
thanks to my friends for the honor conferred
upon me, I remain,
cry rcspeciiuny,
S. P. WOI.VF.RTON.
George W. Ryon, of Shamokin, aud Robert
Montgomery, of Iwis, were chosen as the two
Representative Delegates or the county to the
Erie Convention.
On motion, the Senatoiial delegate was con
ceded to Union county. .
The committee on resolutions reported the fol
lowing, which were read and unanimously
adopted :
Resolved. First. That the principles of Demo
cratic government as enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson in his first inaugural are fundamental
and constitute the foundation upon which is es
tablished the creed of the Democratic party.
Second, That the p'csonncl of the present ad
ministration is looked upon by the civilized world
with derision und scorn, and the dignity ot our
most honored office lowered through the wander
ings or a sport and pleasure seeking President.
Its integrity is deservedly questioned, because or
the complicity of many of its high officials in
transactions of doubtful honesty, its disgraceful
connection with the "Credit Mobilier." with the
Custom House, frauds, the unscrupulous dishon
esty of its agents in treating with the Indians,
and the unpardonable knavery of its Congress,
that granted with priucely munificence subsidies
to corporations and monopolies, and with lavish
hands appropriated increased salaries to the Pre
sident and Congress at a time when the people
were groaning under burdens almost Insufferable,
and that the inefficiency or this Administration
has been brought most glariugly to notice through
the utter failure of its reconstruction policy.
Third, That to avoid the dangers to be appre
hended from a consolidated government we ar
firra that the principle of unfettered home rule in
all the States is the trne recognition of the sov
ereignty of reervrd rlrht.
Fourth, That we are in favor of a uniform
currency on a specie basis, and believe a return
to the same should be accomplished by efforts so
gradual as not to derange the business interest
of the country, and further, so long as the pre
sent national banking system exists, that the na
tional banks should be limited in the amount of
their loaus and discounts to one hundred per
centum in excess of their capital, for the reason
that an inflated or extended credit upon
bank ledgers works greater injury to the busi
ness of the couutry than an augmeuted volume
of the currency, aiid they also be required to re
tain the gold iutcrest paid them by the Govern
ment on their deposited securities, with a view
of ultimately redeeming their notes with coin.
Fifth, That the exhausted demand made upon
the industrial energies of our people for the sup
port or the Federal Government suggests a re
duction or our State Revenues to a point that
will be sufficient to meet the expenses ot tne
Government, honestly and economically admin
istered, allowing nn excess for a reasonable re
duction of the State debt.
Sixth, That we heartily approve of the action
of the Constitutional Convention in providing
for the maintenance and support of a thorough
nnd efficient 6ystem of Public Schools wherein
all tho children of the commonwealth may be
educated.
Seventh. Thut the recent session of"the Demo
cratic House of Representatives at llarrisburg
by their brief session holding the shortest ses
sion since the formation of the government has
given us reform in a practical form and by a di
miuitiou of the expenses a subst antial retrench
ment, and their failure to investigate the Treas
ury was a forslalling of an honest purpose by a
self convicted partisan opposition whose deeds
are dark nnd shriuk from the light of day, and
we speak in terms of commendation o'. the effort
made by the Hon. Justus F. Temple, the present
able and and efficient Democratic Auditor Gen
eral, who is devoting himself with nntireing en
ergy to bring these Treasury frauds to the Bur
race from the deep dept hs of political corruption
and infamy.
Eighth, Thnt the corruition and profligacy of
our National nud State Government have been
carried ou with such systainatic purpose that no
department from the highest to tho lowest has
been able to esenpc the official plunderers, and
becoming emboldened by their continued suc
cess, they no longer avail themselves of that
caution once necessary to protect them from
punishment for their crimes, but have become
indifferent even to the use of means bv which to
shield themselves from public disgrace, or spare
the public the name they must feel at a nation's
prostitution.
Ninth, That we are in Tavor of just and equal

On motion, the delegates of each district were
requested to send to J. E. Eichholtz, present
Chairman, the names of the Standing Commit
teemen for each of their respective districts lor
the ensuing year. The Convention then ad
journed. The Convention was one of the largest ever
held in the county, aud its proceedings, from the
time of opening to its close, at 7 p. m., were
marked with dignity, decorum and fairness. Not
an unpleasant remark or act marred the cutire
proceedings, w hich is a matter of congratulation
considering the large number of candidates be
fore it.

Some people think that the appeals or the
country editors to their debtors, to square up
their accounts, arc entirely too frequent and in
very bad taste the delinquents, especially, thiuk
this Is "very vulgaw." We recommend nil such
to place themselves, in imagination, in the situa
tion of one country editor we know of, not a hun
dred miles from the Quaker City, who assured
ns that his entire cash receipts, during one week
in July of this year, amounted to only it cent,
whilst at the same time his books showed that
ovcr'one thousaud dollars were due him for sub
scription, advertising aud job work. It one or
the delinquents aforesaid should be placed In this
editor's position, and be oiled upon to pay for
wages, rent, paper, etc., out of this magnificent
sum, we think his appeals would become both
chronic and clamorous. Starving Chattertons

I .oral Correspondence.
Easton, Augnst 23, 1875.
Friend Yill'ert :
Several mistakes crept into my
last letter, making it read rather siugular. Eas
ton remains as we left it last week, notwithstand
ing the descent made upon it by the hungry
Knights of Pythias. I mean it, they were hun
gry, they came here hungry, and every meal
made them npear more 60, and they went home
the same. Thcv had a vast amount of business
to perform, and outsiders could gather from their
conversation the whole drift thereof. The noble
representative men of our Innd were not among
.... i ..... i: t.....it:
them, tueir uesi men ueing oi uieuiuiu intelli
gence, uot as the Masons or Odd Fellows, calliug
together the best of our land, but rather the me
dium in every respect. Easton may well be
nrnnd of her college and giouuls, commanding
oue of the most extended and varied views to be
found in the State ; her buildings large, substan
tial and beautiful, surrounded by extensive nnd
well kept lawns and groves. Surely Is there
study m a young man's soul this delightful spot
will bring it out. looking over t his vast expanse,
dotted by beautiful and well cultivated farms,
traversed by rivers, railroads and canals, moun
tains of iron, and the vast works to condense the
same to practical use, the many ways of use and
manufacture, as well as cotton and other enter
prises, place before him daily and hourly a study
that should call out nil the lifeanj energy with
in for a manly strife for the position he shall oc
cupy in the battles of life.
Pennsylvania is proud of her institutions of
learning ; she is also proud of her many great

with their honors as garlands woven around

fully for the old Commonwealth and her merited
sister States. Prominent among the number is
onr present Governor, and may his star never

Sckibneb for September. The discussion of
the historical aspects of the German Death-Mask,
to which Scribner has already devoted an elabo
rate illustrated article (July, 1874.) is supple
mented in the September number of this maga
zine by a virile and enthusiastic paper from the
artist's stand-point, entitled "A Study of Shake
speare's Portraits," by William Page, who re
turns from Darmstadt, whither be went for the
express purpose of studying the Mask, with an
earnest conviction ot its authenticity, based npon
moral evidence. Accompanying this article are
two fine engravings from Mr. Page's photographs
or the Mask, and a schedule or its measurements,
the impartant ones (ten or twelve in number)
exactly coinciding with those In the Stratford
Bust, which it is claimed was made from the
German Mask. The number opens with an arti
cle on "Chicago," by J. W. Sheahan. of the
"Tribune" of that city, embellished with over
thirty engravings, among which are excellent
portraits of David Swing and Robert Collyer.
Col. Waring"s "Vacation" series concludes with
a jaunt to Guernsey aud Sark, but it is rumored
that this is not the last we are to have of this
agreeable writer. Other illustrated articles are :
"The Cross of Cadmou," by Charles A. DeKay ;
more of "The Mysterious Island ;" and two
chapters of Dr. Hollsnd's "Story of Sevenoaks,"
in which there is a bit of female diplomacy, and
Mr. Belcher "pines for a theological seminary."
Mr. Stedman's critical papers are continued with
a study of "Minor Victorian Poets," from the
advance sheets of his volume to be issued by Os
good in the autumn. The verse consists of : "Au
Early Poem by Poe," given in fae-simlle, a tri
bute to Longfellow by Cbarlotte F. Bates, "Alina
Mater's Roll" by E. E. Hale. "Omniscience" by
Alice Williams, aud "The Sunshine of thine
Eyes" by G. P. Lathrop. The other contribu
tions are, "How the Declaration was Saved,"
"Tilda," a story by Kate B. Foot, and "The Cold
Suap," which will be found to possess some or
the virtues of fans nnd ice water.
In "Topics of the Time," Dr. Holland snms
up the Beeeher trial, discusses "The Jury Sys
tem" iu general, aud has "A Word for Our Wan
derers." The Old Cabinet" lakes "A Text from
a Tragedy." "Home and Society" combines to
increase in practical value, and iu "Bric-a-Brac"
there are some clever silhouettes, and a funny
poem by Clara G. Dolliver, called "Gyp Tie."
The Aldinc for August (Part 20 of the current
series), conveys more pleasure to a large circle
of readers aud art-lovers we may say to many
thousands of the former, and to the whole array
or the latter in America than has ever been im
parted in any previous issuer Not that it excels
all former issues (though In that regard it is cer
tainly most perfect and welcome) but that in
its appearance, so little while after the time when
it would have been in our hands, the late calam
ity unknown, wc have the strongest assurance
that both the motto on one side of the cover :
"Ex fnmo, lucis !" ("From smoke, light !") and
the defiant flame-surrounded figure of the Phenix
on the other, mean something practical and de
termined, nnd mean that at once. Knowing the
necessary delicacy of much of the machinery and
many of the arrangements made use of in pro
ducing so perfect a work of monthly art as The
Aldine, there was great reason to fear that, if the
calamity was not sufficient to break np the en
terprise, we should yet be compelled to endure
some months of interval, or the acceptance for a
time of something very unlike our magnificent
art journal. Nothing of the sort, as the appear
ance or the August number, only cen days behind
its time, well assures us. The Aldine is not only
to live, but to live in foil vigor and beauty, and
to be, no doubt, eventually all the brighter for
the scorching. So may it be ! for the art circles
or America aud the world are only more inter
ested in it now, than the whole body or readers
who desire something impossible to be met with
in any other direction or publication. In the
present issue, artistically, we have an exquisite
durk engraving, with the foil power or steel, by
Cole, alter a drawing or John S. Davis, from
Bonuat "A Mother or Egypt," bi imfol of the
Nile personality and atmosphere ; three tine pie
turcs,in continuation of the series of "Picturesque
Europe" "Maximilian's Tower, Suabia," "The
Nnnnerv of Ottilieuberg. Alsace," and "The
Dole of "St. Peter, Bohemian Wald ;" "Pictures
in the Fre," nud "The Music Lesson," both by
Lamoureux, the first with a marked resemblance
to Panline Lucca, and the second with more than
a susoic'ton of Nilsson and two other stars in the
musical firmament ; a pretty little "Early Sor
row," by T. Cobb ; a bold original conception or
"Washington Taking Command" (at Cam
bridge) ; and two spirited domestic fancies of
"Patience" and "The Unbidden Guest." Liter
ally we have, in poetry, "Bessie," a sweetly sen
suous love-song, by George Douglas ; "A Moth
er of Egypt" (descriptive) ; "East Wind and
West," by E. E. Brown ; "Modern Ingenuous
ness," a spicy bit, by Elizabeth A. Davis ; "Red,
White and Blue," a pretty Taney by Mrs. S. M.
Damon; and a word or justice to the children,
in "Early Sorrow." In prose we have a very
valuable and iustructive paper, "Better Acquaint
ance with Switzerland,' by Henry Morford ;
"Washington's Appoiutmeut aud Taking Com
mand," and much other editorial work of inter
est (including some trenchant book reviews) ; a
graceful paper on "Thought Travels," by Grace
Beuedict ; "Troublesome Servants of Old," by
John Hay Furuess ; and otd glimpse of the nu
lique in "Prester John," by Ella Rodman Church;
"Katy-Did," by W. W. Baiicy ; au iuterestirg
paper on Handel ; and, neither last nor least,
several chapters of the Revolutionary romanee,
"The Spur or Mouraontb," lnvolviug ulimpses or
Major Andre, Sir Will Urn Howe, and Captain
Adum Huyler, the marine guerrilla. Certainly,
ith this arrav, we have no occasion to repeat
the pleasant assertion that The Aldine has moult
ed iio feather cither of artistic beauty or literary
worth, in the lute "scorching" w hicli alarmed so
many of Its well-wishers.
The third number of Widk Awake, the new
Boston magaziue for "the young of all ages,"
has reucbed us. It is very bright with pictures,
and its letterpress is most "taking." It opens
with a good story by the editor, Miss Fnrmnn,
"The Strangers from the South," illustrated by
Shepherd with a SKetch of four young "darkies."
from lire. Rev. Dr. Rankin, or Washington, fol
lows with a baby poem iu Scottish dialect. Mr.
Butterworth furnishes a well illustrated paj-er
couceruiug Whittier aud his Home. Miss East
man's "Young Rick" grows in years and in mis
chief. We get a vivid glimpse of the interior of
a New England Poor Farm in the present instal
ment of this vivacious serial. Patty Kingman's
"Ten Thousand Monkeys" are duly diverting.
"Twice in my Life," by Rev. Wm. M. Baker,
shows that this popular clerical novelist was not
a whit better thau anybody else when he was a
boy. There is a capital story for young ladies
by Clara F. Guernsey, "Fayette's Ride." Nora
Perry furnishes a stirring centennial poeui,
"Buuker Hill in 1875." The measure is as sweet
and wild as the music or the processiou :
"Beat, beat, went the drum, and the lifers
played sweet."
To the serial by the editor, "The Cooking Club
of To-Whit Hollow," we siicrially call the atten
tion of both the girls and their mothers. It is
the most wholesome story we have seen for a
long time, brimming with humor, too. By all
means let the girls have some cooking clubs !
There are other poems and pdpers, a serial by
George Macdonald, Guess Work, aud a music
page, together with a riece of' music, under the
supervision of Dr. Tourjee, of the fccw Eugland
Con.-ervatory of Music ; aud it is worth while to
take a trip on the Magic Carpet this mouth.
Messrs D. Lothrop A Co., so well kuown for
