Proctor Knott was elected Gov ernor of Georgia last week, by about the usual Democratic majority. De La Matvr, the Indiana Green backer, has given up jolitic8 and gone to preaching again. This is good for politics, out rough on relig ion. T. P. IIynder. chairman of the National - greenback - labor - antiiuo-nopoly-reform party, has issued a call for a State Convention, to meet at Williamsport, on the 30th day of this month. Ohio Democrats say that the trouble with Judge Hoadly is not that he hasn't brains enough. He wears a No. 7 hat, but unfortunate ly has a No. 2C mouth. There's where the trouble comes in. The Democrats are now busy ex plaining why and how Hancock was beaten in 1880, and every reason but the right one is given. The true reason is, he didn't have votes enough. The people would rot trust the Democratic party with power. They always do Fcale "out west." things on a big They have big floods, and big cyclones, and late ly have had a big hail storm, (in Iowa, we believe,) where five feet in depth of hail-stones was piled up all over the country. They do have big liars "out west," also. It is not often that a man in high position wins his way to the popu lar heart, by the sheer force of hon est purpose and high persanal char acter, but President Arthur, by his wise course, appears to have silenced carping critics, and to have won the respect of the entire country. The National House ol Repre sentatives, that meets in December next, will be composed of 323 mem bers, divided politically as follows : Democrats, 101; Republicans, 119; Readjustee, G; Independents, 5; Greenbackers, 2. The Democrats will have a majority of CO. over the combined opposition. The Harrisburg Telegraph says : 'The last Legislature passed a bill to invest all the surplus funds of the State in bonds. The present Legis lature appears to be determined in rendering that law useless by remaining in extra session long enough to pocket all the funds in the Treasury." A favorite complaint of the Democratic journals just now is, that the President and most of his Cabi net are away from home, and the Government is run by clerks. Sup pose this is true; isn't our State Government being run by a clerk? And are not these same journals try ing to persuade the people that it is well run ? The election in Utah was held on Monday of last week, and resulted in a complete victory for the Demo cratic saints. Apparently it does not make any difference what regula tions the Federal laws make for the disfranchisement of the Mormon vo ters, as when the election comes off the Gentiles are always badly whip ted. There are enough Mormons who are not )olij:atnists, to elect Mormon officials, despite the Ed munds law, which disfranchises all the saints who have more than one wife. Cot. McClc re, of the Philadelphia Ttnui, who generally knows all about the political conventions held in this State, says of the late Demo cratic affair that assembled at Har- rieburg : "The 'unqualified approbation' ol the rattison administration liuy came from a convention that enlisted fo little partv interest as to require neany one-nan its delegates to be manufactured at Harrisburg as sub stitutes, and it will be a iearful stumbling block to the ticket and organization. In like manner, the rather hesitating but unambiguous approval of the ten-dollar-a-day De mocracy in the Legislature, that is persisting in the depletion of the Treasury on the shallow pretext of passing apportionments, must be a terrible millstone about the neck of the party. These two planks are simply grist to the Republican mill, and they were not needed to make the defeat of the Democratic ticket apparently inevitable." 1 r Thirty years ago, in the heydey of the slavery regime, the total val ue of southern crops of cotton, tobac co, rice, hay, hemp and sugar cane was $13S,G0o,73S. The census re port of 1SS0 shows that Southern agricultural products were that year valued at f7G0,000,000. Further more, the South is becoming a rival of the North in cotton and other (manufactures. The election of a Democratic Gov ernor has not diminished the yield of the land in Kansas. Congressman Ryan, who is now in Washington, and has been interviewed by a cor- respondent of the New York Tribune, ... i i J !.., I onva- "Knns.15 nan Drouuceu uinjui. ; corn this year. The oat crop, too, is enormous ; I never saw such a yield- In fact, all the crops are good. We have had eeyeral good years in suc cession now, and the result is that our people have got clear of debt, and this year will leave them with a nice surplus." W. Hayes Grier, of Lancaster, editor of the Columbia Herald and late candidate for Auditor General, has been made Superintendent of Public Printing, at a salary of 2,000. He was the author of the resolution presented in the Lancaster Demo cratic county committee indorsing Pattison's administration "in each and every particular." The Lancas ter committee refused to adopt the "each and every particular" clause of Mr. Grier 's resolution, but he gets his reward all the same. Our reform Governor believes in reforming his friends into office. Senator Stewart, in an able speech last week, denounced Gov ernor Pattison as an arbitrary and tyrannical Executive, who seeks to ceerce the representatives of the people, and urged his Republican colleagues to resist to the bitter end. This is very right on the part of the able Senator, and we trust that his advice in this matter will be follow ed by the Republicans in both Hous es, but still, we can't help remem bering that if Mr. Stewart and his followers had stood with his fellow Republicans last fall, and not have helped to eleet Mr. Pattison, he would have done his party better service than he possibly can now. The trial of voung Nutt, for kill ing Dukes, the murderer of his fath er, is rapidly approaching, and ap parently for the purpose of exciting sympathy for the dead murderer, and prejudicing the public mind in adyanceof the trial of his slayer, a statement prolessetlly written ty Dukee. immediately afterhis acquit tal by the infamous jury empanneled to try his case, has been furnished the press for publication. This is evidently a trick of the managers of the case against young Nutt, and adds to the infamy which the sym pathizers with a terrible scoundrel have brought upon the people of Fa3-ette county. The alleged state ment, as published, is such a revela tion of inborn depravity, is so shock ing in its proof of the lack of every moral sentiment in the dead assas sin, as to almost justify his slayer. He regrets having written the letter to Captain Nutt, which was the ori cin of his death, not because it ren dered him infamous, but simply be cause it was a blunder that involved him in a difficulty. All decent, right thinking men will, on reading this alleged statement of the dead murderer, be forced to the conclu sion that it has further damaged his memory, if that be possible, and will involuntarily feel relieved that the world is well rid of a monster. It will require rare judgment and discresion on the part of the attor neys who will defend young Nutt, to see that none but good and true men are empanneled on the jury. This publication, just on the eve of the trial, proves that the same influence that brought about the acquittal of Dukes, :s being used to procure the conviction of this youthful avenger of his murdered father. THE FIRST AXU ONLY FRl'IT. The Governor has to show for the investment of public moneys in an extra session a judicial apportion ment which the legislature ought to be ashamed of. It seems to have been framed with particular refer ence to pensioning off somebody who having failed to obtain a living practice, now aspires to the hoior of the ermine. We do not now recall a single paper hat favored the bill. It is possible that the rural organs ; 30,000,000 bushels of wheat and will j to fulfill the mandate of the funda raise about 175,000,000 bushels ofj mental law required the passage of of some of the aspirants have ad vo-jeer ofthe State, with power only to cated the measure. But no paper j suggest the creation of laws and to of any prominence has urged the j administer them when created, and Governor to approve it. The lead-: that the Iiegislture is as supreme in ing Democratic papers were all op- j it, prerogatives as is every other co posed to it. Chairman Hensel's pa- ordinate branch of the government. per mildly suggested that the Gov- ernor ought to put in another veto. ! But the Governor, influenced bv ; considerations which lie refused to permit to influence him when he vetoed several bills, has approved this, nd, as is generally supposed, because it was necessary to show that the extra session had brought forth fruit It has brought forth fruit, and of its own kind. The judicial appor tionment ignores the mandate of the organic law, as the Governor is well aware. If he is the keeper of the Constitution, as he declares and his claquers declare, how came he to approve the judicial apportionment ? If he is devoted to economy, how came he to approve that bill? It increases the liens upon the treasury without in any way increasing the efficiency of the Judiciary. It vio lates the equities so far as the divis ion of labor is concerned, and it pays almost no attention at all to the ra- i tio. It cost too much and is poor work. It has cost the btate at least fifty thousand dollars to enact it and it will entail an extra cost of about twenty-five thousand dollars jer year to operate it If this is one of the first fruits of the extra session, what must be predicted of it as re gards the total harvest? North American. THE GOVERNOR AXD THfcJ LEGIS LATURE. It has been announced on the floor of both branches of the Legislature, by Senators and Representatives who assume to speak the views and pur poses of the Governor, that the Exe cutive has taken upon himself, as a duty imposed upon him by the Constitution, to compei the Legisla- jture to pass apportionment bills. Senator Gordon, the unquestioned and rather obtrusive oracle of the Executive, has announced in Senato rial debate, that the Governor will eomvel the Legislature to pass appor tionments, and that the depletion of the Treasury to bankruptcy and the imposition of a special tax upon the neoole to tav for a protracted session of the Legislature, would be of little . i :u U V,;i,,,.o mnmpni couiiareu nu io i.muic apportionments. It seems that the Executive has fallen into the rather common error of inexperienced but self apprecia tive, authority, of assuming that the Executive is the supreme and abso lute authority ofthe Commonwealth. If he had read the plain landmarks of the past, and noted the popular jealousy of all attempts at Executive usurpation, or despotic exhibitions of one-man power, he would not have exposed himself to the just crit icism of co-ordinate branches of au thoritv charged with equal or greater I powers and responsibilities in the en actment ot laws. Jr n ne naa reau the Constitution with care, and noted its discriminating language in confer ring discretionary and mandatory powers upon the Executive, he could hardly have fallen into the grave er rors of assuming that the fundamen tal law imposes upon him the fulfill ment of both legislative and execu tive duties. The Constitution imposes upon the Legislature certain duties. Among them is the mandate that the Legislature "Jiall apportion the State," etc. It is an imperative com mand of the fundamental law, but it is a command to the Legislature, and not to the Executive. It created the Executive, Legislative and Ju dicial departments of authority ; made each a co-ordinate branch of the government, but entirely inde pendent of each other, and all abso lutely' forbidden to encroach upon tiie prerogatives of others. Each de rives its commission from the sov ereign people; each is answerable directly to the same supreme power of the State, and each is absolutely above the coercion or control of the other. Both the Executive and the Legis lative authority have mandatory and discretionary -powers and duties im posed upon'them by the Constitu tion. The Legislature "shall appor tion the State," etc., but it may make appropriations of money," etc. The Executive uthall from time to time give to the General Assembly infor mation of the state of the Common wealth and recommend to their con sideration such measures as he may judge expedient," but the Legislature is left supreme to judge of the expe diency of the measures the Execu tive "may judge expedient." He nftair nominate," etc., certain put !i - i., i, ,,, ft pTtranr,!i. nary occasions convene the General Assembly, and in case of disagree ment between the two Houses, with respect to the time of adjournment, adjourn them," etc. When he exer cises the obviously discretionary rather than mandatory power of convening the Legislature, his power over it is ended, save the power to adjourn it for a stated period in case of disagreement on the single ques tion of adjournment On all other issues of dispute between the Hous es, the Governor has no more power than has the humblest citizen'of the Commonwealth. He discharges his duty by the exercise of a sound dis cretion in calling the Legislature, and then the responsibility for ac cepting or rejecting "such measures as he may judge expedient," rests solely with the Legislature and its accountability is only to the people and not to the Executive. There was long an accepted law in Philadelphia that might was right. It was bred and nurtured and reared to omnipotence by a Pilgrim coterie that regarded political power as only pn agent to attain political plunder. That law seems to have Ween trans planted to Harrisburg and incorpo rated as one ofthe cardinal articles ot faith ofthe administration. It is a grave error. It is an error against public law ; against public integrity ; against public decency, and Govenor Pattison cannot too soon silence the flippant but offensive threats of Ex ecutive despotism repeatedly made in his name in both the House and Senate. In the exercise of the dis cretionary power conferred upon him by the Constitution, he has called the Legislature to make apportion ments, and there his duty and his responsibility ends. However clear the mandate ofthe fundamental law in regard to apportionments, it is a duty specially impossible upen the legislature and not upon the Execu tive; and the legislature, like the Executive, is answerable only to the sovereign power that makes Consti tutions and creates Executives and legislators. It is high time, with a legislature demoralized largely by Executive usurpation, and by the offensive arrogance of its special champions, for Governor Pattison to re-read the Constitution and learn that h i nirr.nlv the Executive ofii He must learn this lesson sooner of l,tter, and the sooner he learns it, the lttpr it will be for himself and for the State. fhiL Time. Ijtme Both Feet. Monticello, August 8. Anton Denaer, aged six years, son of Josi ah Denaer, living in the Beechwoods neighborhood in this county, met with a fearful accident a few days ago. The lad was out in the hay field with the hired man, and, un noticed by the latter, came so close to him that the scythe struck the child's ankles and with one sweep his feet were cut clean from his body. It is feared that the life of the little fellow cannot be saved. Rraaeman Killed. Uniontown, August 6. Ed ward Burns and San ford Truedal, brake men on a Southwest railroad freight train, were standing on the cow catcher of their train this morning intending to make a coupling. The track was wet, and the trainmen were unable to check the locomotive, which went crashing into a metal car. Both the men sustained injur ies which proved fatal in a few hours. They both lived at Greens-burg. THE MAORI KNOCKED OUT. Mr. Sullivan Winn in Three Round A Glove Fight In New York which Attracted an Immense Audience How the Maori waa Compelled to Succumb. New York, Aug. 6.-lIerbertSlade, who come from Australia to whip John L. Sullivan, was knocked out in three rounds by Sullivan at the w -i - 1 I . T - : Madson Square Gardalthis evening. Sullivan did the work with Eotl gloves, and without half the trouble that his last opponent Mitchell, cau3 ed him. The earden was crowded with people at 7 o'clock. The long tiers of benches extending from Fourth to Madison Avenues were packed and the enormous floor was occupied by people who stood pa tiently upon their feet for two and one-half hours. The number of per sons present was estimated by Cap tain Williams at 10,000. In the centre of the Garden a plat form twenty-four feet high had been built Eight stakes, placed at aqui distant points, were fastened to the platform, and two lines of ropes were passed around the stakes, com pletely enclosing the stage. The wooden chairs were placed at oppo site corners of the stage, and a buck et of water, a beer glass and a towel were the only other articles upon the sanded floor. Ten feet from the platform, and surrounding it, was a stout railing. which kept the mob away from the ropes, i hose wno naa ieareu inter ference by the police were agreeaDiy disappointed. Tli6 whole show was under police protection. Shortly after nine John Lawrence Sullivan, of Boston, jumped lightly to the stage, amid great cheering, and was followed shortly after by Her bert Slade, of Australia, Jem Mace's famous Maori half-breed boxer. Sullivan stripped off his shirt and Bhowed his handsome body bare to the waist. It was nearly as pink as his flesh-colored drawers. It was evident that he was in much better condition than when he fought Mitchell. Much fat had disappeared and much abdomen also. The mus cle lay in great ridges over his big arms "and back and chest. White stockings and laced shoes completed his clothing. He eyed the Maori carefully and there was a determined look about his bull-dog face. When the Maori was stripped he displayed a tremendously big body, with broad 6houlders and a deep chest. There was too much beef on the big fellow. His arms and legs did not compare with Sullivan's, ei ther in size or symmetry. His good natured face wore a look of anxiety and he was palpably nervous. His flesh looked soft and rather white, though his face was swarthy and showed the native blood. His draw ers and hose were white. His big hands with difficulty were shov ed into the gloves. Sullivan's gloves seemed to be rather small for boxing-gloves, but as no note was taken of it, either by the police or by Slade's friends, they were presuma bly regular size. Parson Davis, the Chicago sport, looking particularly clerical, was on the stage as time keeper, and Barney Aron, of Pales tine, was the referee. Pop Whittaker again blew his fog-horn, announcing that there was to be no wrestling in the match and that when the referee told the men to break they must break. That was all he had to say. The match was supposed to be under Marquis of Queenbury rules, the men to fight four fourminute rounds, with n minute between each round. Jim Mace had announced that there was to be no slugging, simply sien tific sparring, just to see which was the best man. the first round. "Get ready." shouted Barney Aaron. "Time." The giants arose, walked to the middle of the stage and shook hands. Then it was seen that Slade was two or three inches taller than Sullivan. He weighed some twenty odd pounds more, fighting at 220, while Sullivan was trained down to 117. Sullivan open ed the mill by striking savagely at Slade and driving him to the rope. He did this twice, sparring finelly. Maori seemed rather surprised at the tremendous attacks of Sullivan, whom he could not hit and in about a minute knocked him down with a clean hit under the ear. The cheer ing was terrific at this. Sullivan then sparred a while and the two big men faced each other with up lifted hands for several seconds, each eyeing the other carefully. Then Sullivan made another of his irresistible rushes and they clinched. When they broke Sullivan 6truck Slade and knocked him around. The big fellow ambled off with his head down, as if expecting the fight ing was oyer for the time, but the Boston bruiser followed him, slugged him in the back of the neck and with one tremendous blow knocked the half-breed right through between the upper and lower rones to the floor beneath. Then, indeed, it seemed as if Pandemonium had broken loose. The yelling was enough to raise the roof. Slade got up, walked around to the steps, got on the stage and sat down. Both he and Sulli van thought that ought to end the round, but Barney Aaron frantically yelled for them to go on fighting, as time had not been called. They jum ped up, sparred an instant and then time was called and they both sat down again. SI.APF. RECENTLY KNOCKED DOWN. The general impression was that Mr. Slade would be ended up in short order. Still, he sat calmly in his chair and evidently not as much blown as suuivan. mere was a look of surprise on his big, amiable face that was, intensified bv a full cut under the left eye, either the re sult of the fall off the stage or one of Sullivan's sledge-hammer blows. When time was called he jumped up quickly andj apparently realizing that something must be done, pro ceeded to force the fighting. For a few seconds he showed that he was really a good sparrer, but, after all, no better than Sullivan, who stopped him and who slugged him once or twice in the body in a manner cal culated to drive all the wind out of an ordinary man. Then Sullivan, like a bull, made another rush. There was some savage fighting, Sullivan, slugged the Maori hard half-arm blows in the ribs and Slade replying in kind, but with apparent ly not half the force of the Irishman from the Hub. As they separated Sullivan struck his opponent on the, side of the neck and he went down in the middle of the stage. He was no sooner up than they clinched again and again hammered each oth er short blows. Then separating Sullivan again floored the Maori i with a swinging right-hander, which knocked him clean from his pins and laid him sprawling. He got up gamely, however, and fought to the end of the round, apparent! quite as fresh as Sullivan. It was thought then by experts that he would fight through the other two rounds, lie was plainly no match for Sullivan, unless he had more endurance. There was great excitement Cap tain Williams was on the stage, warning the men not to slug too hard. Joe Goss was advising Sulli van to go in and knock the wind out of Slade by body blows, and Jem Mace was whispering earnestly to his pupil, whose face was not over- 'spread with rays of confidence. ! 1 ... ... J . .... " The third round, what there was of it, was 'short and savage. There was a little preliminery sparring, then clinching, then some savage infighting on both hands, Sullivan doing the best by large odds, and as they broke Sullivan hit Slade an aw ful blow square on the nose. The Maori wheeled about and Sullivan plugged him twice in the neck. The half-breed attempted to put up his hands, but he could not, and again Sullivan struck him in the face and the big man from Australia staggered clear across the stage and then fell in a heap, Captain Williams at once rushed in and told Sullivan to stop. Slade tried to get up, and after un offnrf AiA Knt. )ia etltTCfrAH against the ropes and would have i alike agree that the beginning of the fallen again had not Barnev Aaron I end has been reached, and that Dem helped him to his chair. His nose!cratic disintegration begun in the was bleeding and blood was on his white tights. That was the end of the fight for fight it was from the start. SLADE COMPLETELY WHIPPED. Howls and yells that could be heard a mile greeted the victorious Sullivan, who, pulling off the gloves shook hands vigorously with Slade and then walked to his room, appar ently as fresh as when he came on the stage. Slade was a whipped man, knocked quite out in two rounds and a half. It is doubtful even had the I)olice interfered whether he could iave come to time in the ten seconds allowed under the rules for getting up after a knock-down. Thero were from nine to twelye thousand people present. Estimates vary. Tickets were one and two dollars ; boxes, $25. Every thing was sold. Sullivan gets G-3 per cent, and Slade 35 per cent, net proceeds, so you can figure out the thousands these bruisers made in their short fifteen-minute exhibition. At Bushy Ran. GiiEENsnrBo, August G. The Bushy Run celebration to-day was a complete success. The weather was all that could be wished for, and a larger and more entusiastic crowd was never before gathered together in Westmoreland county. The low est computation of those present was 10,000, and by many it was put a3 high as 15,000. Grand Army posts were present in force, at least S00 men in number. A company of 100 cavalrymen, uniformed in the Continental style, attracted marked attention. The positions of the British and Colonial troops and Indians during the battle were marked by 6ign boards and flags, giving the intelli gent observer familiar with the ac count of Colonel Bouquet's manoeu vres, a clear conception of the man ner in which the battle was won. The burial of the killed in the fight took place on a commanding hill, which was thesceneof the first day's fight A monument commemorat ing this battle will be erected on this hill, which overlooks the entire field of battle. The exercises of the day were opened in a beautiful grove adjoin ing the battlefield, by A. B. Kline, Esq., organizing the meeting. Gen. Richard Coulter was elected chair man. A prayer was made by the Rev. R. Boyle, of Irwin station. Rev. Cyrus Cort of Greencastle, then de livered a speech occupying an hour, in which he gave a glowing sketch of border life in the pre-revolutiona-ry period, and also dwelt upon the significance of the victory won by the gallant Bouquet FrankCowan, the Corean explorer and poet of the day, delivered the poem written for the occasion, in a very happy man ner, eliciting hearty praise and ap plause. The meeting was then ad journed until half past 1 p. in. At that time Chairman Coulter calied tne meeting to order again. After prayer by Rev. W. W. Moore head, General James-A. Beaver step ped to the front and delivered one of th speeches he knows so well how to make. He was cheered repeatedly during its delivery. He spoke of Bouquet's qualities as a military captain, of the skill and judgment he displayed in selecting the ground on which his troops made their stand, and paid a high compliment to the Pennsylvania Dutch whose ancestors fought in this battle and many others in those bloody days. General Beaver was followed by Judge J. E. Parks, of Allegheny City, who made a short but interest ing address. The venerable Thomas Bingham, of Pittsburg, then made the closing speech of the day. Ar.tr the closing of the ceremony in the grove there was a review of the Grand Army by Generals Beaver, "Fighting Dick" Coulter and Gal lagher. i Burned to Death. Shenandoah, Aug. 7. A mother and two daughters were terribly burned here this afternoon. Mary Dalton, a girl of 14 years, waastiring ! . i U - . ... up a on, t wove ore l,n),r.u,ry bakintr. She wore a lawn dress of voluminous folds. As she turned quickly from her work the skirt of her dress fell against the bar of the stove.

Her mother aud sister Maggie, who U'pre mituiilf hpnrtl her sere:Ltns and I ran to her aid. Instead of using the prescriU-d methods of smothering such tlaciie-s they sought to fight them y tearing the blazing clothes from Mary's form. Their own light clothing caught fire and three blaz ing figures filled the room with terri ble cries which fortunately arroused the neighbors, who hurried in. Cool heads and willing bands soon grap pled with the emergency. The fiamt-s wfre extinguished, but not until the three women had been sad ly burned and lacerated. The moth er and her daughter Mary, were the most severely burned, there being no hope of the hater's recovery, while the former's Mufcty is doubtful. The Kicctton In Ctab. Ogdk.x, Utah Ty., Aug. 7. The election yesterday passed off quietly but liule interest being taken in it. The Mormon ticket was elected in each district throughout the territory with the exception of Summit Coun ty, which is in doubt. The major ity ofthe Gentiles refrained from vot ing. A large majority of the Mor mons would, it was known, vote sol id as directed by the Church, and this fact deprived the election of any element of a contest i Abusing the Kickers. Harrisbcro, Pa., Aug. 10. The break in the Democratic Senatorial ranks last night was the burden of conversation this morning on all hands. The friends ofthe adminis tration were outspoken and unspar ing in their denunciation of Biddis, Coxe, Kennedy, Herrington and Pattoiuibr. what - they termed the treachery that led them to the aban donment of the position assumed by the administration. Gordon's speech, just previous to the vote, was clearly in the nature of a party call, and the response came in the shape of a wholesale desertion from the ranks. . Even Wallace is freely de nounced for his absence, the speech of Davies yesterday in which he re ferred to the four great leaders, Wal lace. Wolverton, Hall and Coxe, be ing interpreted as a voice by author ity. The House met this morning only to adjourn for want of a quorum there being only ninety-one, ten less than the requisite number. There was nothing on the calendar but the Buttermore Legislative bill on sec ond reading, but it was not acted up on. Uemocrats ana nepuoncans Senate will communicate itself to the House and spread disorganiza tion. The reference of Senator Pat ton to those who had "blabbed so much" last night is construed to be a personal attack on Gordon,and that with oiher things said and done since, is sure to widen the breach which has been made within a few davs. A Trotting Calf Beats a Home. r,v AJSMLLt, Aug. iu-vui. wiita. in r.i -u Burns, a well-known sporting gentleman of this city, paralyzed the habitation ofthe Bedford Park a day or two ago bv driving in with a calf tied behind his buggy. He bet 8100 that the calf could turn the track quicker than any horse they had in the stables. Acceptances were plen ty ; the horse was chosen ; the condi tion was that the calf was to go sad dled and the horse as he pleased. A rubber was put in the saddle and the fun commenced. When the word was given the calf went off with tail straight in air on a run, with the horse a couple of lengths in the lead. On striking the upper turn the form er settled into a shambling sort of trot bellowing at every step, all the while gradually decreasing the dis tance between itself and gelding. The horse finallv bolted, turned square round and started back. Before it could be got under control the calf came home an easy winner. Time not given. Not a man or boy on the track, except the Colonel, who was not a loser. Beheaded on The Rail. Washington. Pa., Aug. 10. This afternoon fourteen cars, with an en gine in front and one behind, started from Washington to Pittsburgh on the Southern. Vhen making the grade above the brickyard, near town the coupling or draw bar between the eneine and water tank broke loose, letting Mr. B. F. King, train master, who was standing on the apron ofthe engine, down beneath the wheels of th tender, which seve red his head from his body, one roll ed on one side of the rail and the other on the opposite side. As he fell he grappled the fireman, who came down with him and struck the rail, but fortunately escaped getting under the wheels, and came offwith a severe sprained hand. Mr. King was a married man, aged about forty years, and residing in this borough. The body was brought to the depot in Washington and word sent to the Coroner, who held an inquest when the above facts were elicited. Mr. King was for a number of years con nected with the Allegheny Valley railroad. He leaves a wife and sev en children. Murdered by His Insane Wile. Baltimore, Aug. 7. Mr. L. L. Conrad, a lawyer of this city, prom inent in professional and social life, was shot and killed last night by his wife, while asleep in bed at their country residence, near Glyndon, in Baltimore county, about twenty-five miles from this city. Mrs. Conrad has been suffering from illness for some time accompanied by evidence of lrsanitv. bh was visited yester day by her mother and brother, who left her in the alternoon in a quiet condition. Mrs. Conrod was a Miss Worthington of Baltimore county, in whose family there is a strong tiint of insanity. She is a cousin of Sam uel Hanson, who recently killed Charles Ridely white in Howard county. She is also a cousin of John Toll Johns and his brother Richard both of whom committed suicide. Mr. Conrad was a native of New Or leans and a son of Hon. William H. Conrad, Secretary of war during the rulraore administration, lie was about 45 years of age, and leaves several children. A Great Snake Captured Skwkkle. Aug. 8. The whole population of this town wai thrown into intense excitement on Sun day ly the report that an immense snake had been seen a short distance backjof the village. In the forenoon some men were troin? along the old B!.lckburii road, which run through ' n.. -i. tv hat is known as the Hamilton farm when their attention was drawn to piercing shrieks or quacks of a flock of geese, and crossing the road a few feel in front of them an immense snake, carrying a large white gander ;the king of the flock.

A dinner had been prepared under the direction of Captain Lord, the Depot Quartermaster at Cheyenne. The President enjoyed the ride greatly, being seated on the outside of the wagon with the driver during the last 45 miles. The road ran over a country covered with sage brush, and hundreds of antelopes, sage hares and mule rabbits gave pleas ant excitement to the journey. All keenly enjoyed the mountain air and scenery.

The party will start to-morrow on horses for Yellowstone Park. All are well. Scrambliug lor the Bench. Johnstown, August 9. The Judi cial apportionment bill having re ceived the Governors signature, Cambria county is a separate juJi cial district, and a lively struggle for the judgeship is anticipated. The most prominent Democratic aspi rants are Hon. John I . Linton, and D. McLaughlin, Esq., of Johnstown, and Robert L. Johnston, Esq., ot Ebensburg. As the Republicans have no chance of electing, no aspi rant of that party has yet made his appearance. The Democratic prima ries occur on the 25th inst, giving the people but a short time for the discussion of the merits of the can didates. The liquor men. or rather those who want to become such, are pleas ed that Cambria county has become a separate district, as they will now be rid of associate judges, and they mean to exert themselves to secure the election of a judge who they think will grant more licenses than now exist here.
