The cam paign now opening will be an excit ing and most important one. As the Herald never gave forth an uncer tain sound, it will be found as usual, in the fore-front of the column wag ing battle for the principles and can didates of the liepullican party. It will aim to keep its readers fully in formed on all important features of the campaign, and to preserve its well establL-hed reputation for being the leading journal of the county. Now is the time to subscribe only Fifty Cents from now until the close of the campaign. Call off your dogs, Critchfield ! or they will start up game you are not hunting for. Thl public debt was decreased last month $9,217,250 SO. The total reduction during the fiscal year end ing June SOtli, was $101,040,971 GS. The member from this district General Campbell voted against the bill restoring Fitz John Porter to the army. The old soldier votes as he shot. It was Blaine against the field at Chicago last month, and it is Cleve land against the field this month. We will know before our next issue if Cleveland is in as good luck as Blaine. The terror which the candidacy of General Butler has caused among the Southern Bourbons, is most amusing. Just imagine the double F. V's parading around with a spoon for their badge. Both Houses of Congress adjourn ed tine die on Monday, the 7th inst, at 3 o'clock p. m. The session has been almost fruitless of good, and the country will breathe more freely, now that it has come to an end. An Anti-rie Society has been formed in California, and has pe titioned the Legislature to prohibit the manufacture and sale of pies, on the ground that they are prejudicial to health. Of lletormers, there is no end. The labor unions threaten to de feat Calvin Wells, one of the electors on the . Republican ticket of this State, because as proprietor of the Philadelphia Pre, he has ceased to employ union printers, and has his work done by non-union men. The Democratic papers that have beeu gleefully chuckling over the bolt of Curtis and the Independents from Blaine, are now changing their views on the divine right to bolt, since J no. Kelly and Tammany have commenced kicking against Cleve land. An anxious people have their eyes on the Democratic Convention now in session at Chicago, eager to learn whether that illustrious assemblage will take Watterson's advice, and "let Pennsylvania go to the devil," or adopt the views of Dana and Randall, and straddle the tariff is sue. Events occurring at Chicago this week will go far towards settling the probable result of the Presidential campaign. The capacity of the Democrats to blunder is unabated, and after their nominations are made, they will have their own bolt- erg and kickers to nurse, instead of ours. Ir warms the cockles of our heart to see the kickeis against General beaver protesting against kick ing this year. We would like to know, Belely for information, on what principle of political morality it was right for tLem to bolt Beaver, and wronc for Curtis, frhnr nA w f aw UU other Independents ta bolt Blaine? j v Theke is every prospect of an im- ... . menee crop tnis year, ana conse- ' quentlj cheap bread in the near fu- ; ture. The wheat is safe and is now I liniT harvested. Corn promises well but has yet to run the gauntlet jofeummer drouth and early frosts. Prpdirtions are being made that wheat will sell from GO to 70 cents before this date next yaar. Two hundred and eixty-one liquor dealers of Ohio have combined and employed counsel, to resist the col lection of the Scott law liquor tax, or the penalty to which the delinquents are liable. The law is claimed to be unconstitutional. A temporary in junction restraining the collection of the tax, or the penalty by Treasurer Whitbeck, has been granted by Judge Blandin at Cleveland. Notwithstanding Tilden's letter declining to be a candidate, there is a sneaking notion among the De mocracy that he will accept the nom ination if it is tendered to him. This renders a number of candidates very unhappy, but it leave a loophole to escape from the fierce conflicts of the other rival aspirants. Stranger things have happened than the nom ination of "Slippery Sammy" at Chicago this week. The Blaine and Logan bolters are just now on the anxious bench, praying fervently for a deliverance from their sins and follies. If the Democrats nominate Cleveland they are pledged to give him their sup port, but if they should decide not to do this, then these high kicking Independents will have to flock in a crowd by themseltes, and a mighty select and lonesome crowd it will be. But then they have vindicated the sacred right to "bolt." Congress has passed an act creat ing a "Bureau of Labor," and the President has appointed John Jar rett, of Pittsburgh, "Commissioner" of the bureau. Mr. Jarrett is a la boring man and has the necessary practical knowledge gained by expe rience. ' He was formerly President of the Amalgamated Association of the iron and steel workers, and in that position gained the confidence of both the operatives and the em ployers. In the Democratic State Conven tion of Illinois, held on Wednesday last, the sentiment in favor of Til den was overwhelming. Carter Har rison, present Mayor of Chicago, (the gamblers' friend,) was nomina ted for Governor, and the adoption of a free trade platform was deferred in deferrence to a demand that the National Convention be left free to act, without any previous declara tion from Morrison's State. On Wednesday last the President vetoed the bill restoring that dis graced soldier, Gen. Fitz John Por ter, to his former position in the army. The House at once passed the bill over the President's veto, but the Senate refused to do so, and therefore the army and the country are saved the disgrace of this rebel sympathiser being placed in com mand of National troops, whom he reiused to lead against the enemy when ordered so to do. General Porter's crime was one, that time can neither ameliorate nor efface. The New York Tribune says: "The Republican who repudiates either the platform or the nomina tions is simply a deserfer. Whoever leaves the ranks cannot halt midway between the political camps. He cannot rebel and set up a standard of his own on any high ground of principle. He must eith er remain where he is or else go into the hostile camp a deserter." Truer words were never spoken. But it is very cruel of the Tribune to thus excoriate the men whom it led to the desertion of their party, and the political assassination of Genera Beaver, only two years since. To expose or refute the many roorbacks circulated during the late primary canvass, would be a task for which" we have neither time nor inclination. The mud of a cam paign rarely sticks, but it is due to the parties maligned that the truth of one of these stories be set before the public. As published in the Timet, it is to the effect that on Fri day evening before the election the opponents of D. J. Horner "started the malicious falsehood that he had withdrawn in favor of Mr. Critch field;" that "Mr. Frank Gaul, of Jennertown, carried the news to Sipesville, Jenner X Roads and Jen nertown 6tating that he had his information from Chairman Ssott," and that by this trick Hor ner lost a large number of votes. JSow the truth of the matter is as s follows: Captain Charles J. Harri son, of Somerset, wrote a letter to a friend at Rockwood urging that Horner be dropped and the vote be concentrated on CritchfielJ, as the only means of beating Scull. ThiB letter was shown to two gentlemen, who spoke of it in this town on Fri day, and it became current street talk. Mr. Gaul, who afterwards re peated it, emphatically denies hav ing been told it by Mr. Scott, and says that he heard it repeatedly canvassed on the streets on Friday evening. Instead of injuring Hor ner it reacted when told, and bene fitted him. But if injury did ensue, his friends can readily see that the author of the letter is the responsible person. GLEANINGS. It is gratifying to know that of the murmuring1 of discontent over the nomination of Blaine so very few come from the Arthur men. The friends of the President went into the convention with no enemies to punish and no IfYfr(TOS in aatiafrr Tkeir purpose was to nominate Ar-i thurifthey could, and te upporti heartily the nominee of the conven-l tion if they were overruled. They were overruled, and now they are Blaine men without any mental res ervations, just as they are Republi cans without conditions or reserva tions. American. The Democratic party want office so as "to institute reform." They tried that over twenty years ago with muskets and failed. It is the same old party. If reform Democracy had continued to hold power there would now be no "United States" for a President to rule over. Inter Oca ra. The Democracy have not been very successful with candidates from New York. They have tried four since 18G4, and met with disaster every time. McClellan in 1864, Seymour in 1SCS, Greeley in 1S72, Tilden in 1876. Beside these, they nominated Hancock in 1SS0, who is more a New Yorker than anything else, and met with etill another de feat. Inter Ocean. History repeats itself. In 18G4 the Democratic party in its platform denounced the war for the Union as a failure. But it wasn't The Democratic party was mistaken, that was all. In 1884 the Democratic party is of the opinion that the Re publican party "must go." It is mistaken again, that is all. The Republican party will continue bus iness at the old stand. Indianapolis Journal. The single drawback to the can didacy of Governor Cleveland is his lack of political experience. He is a man of tried integrity, but if it were not for the fact that he lives in the State of New York and has proved his popularity there he would not at this time fill so large a space in the calculations of his party. The Dem ocrats must carry New York and In diana, and the necessity of shaping their course to that end" is likely to override all oiher considerations in making up their ticket. Record. It is music to the ear to hear the Independents of Pennsylvania, who two years ago bolted the Uepubucan ticket and helped to beat the gallant Beaver for Governor here, now lect uring the Independents of New York and Massachusetts for follow ing their example and kicking against Blaine. Their remarks would carry much more weight if there were more consistency behind them. It is seen here how valuable is a good and consistent record. Ixbanon Courier. THK TATTOOED MAN. Yes, Mr. Blaine is tattooed. So was General Garfield. So was Abra ham Lincoln. So has been almost every man whom the American peo ple have learned to admire, to trust and to love. As soon as any man gains public confidence, malignant and envious creatures are found to revile him. George Washington was called a traitor to the country, after he had secured its independence. Thomas Jefferson was not only an infidel, but a tool of France. General Jackson was reviled and hated as no man has been in this generation. Abraham Lincoln, let us not forget, was a gorilla. General Garfield was hunted to his grave with slander; "329" was industriously scrawled on pavements, and there were creatures in this very State who alleged that his loved and noble wife was seek ing to obtain a divorce when he was assassinated. He was the tattooed man of 1880, and the very people who emptied the foulest slanders upon hire while living helped to swell the chorus of honor and of sor row when he was suddenly taken froai us. The best and strongest men of the country have always been tattooed in the same fashion. But history 6how3 clearly what the people have thought of the tattooing process in the past. The very men who have been most shamelessly vilified are those whom the Nation has delighted to honor. What the people think of the tattooing busi ness now is best shown by the nom ination of James G. J .lame, in spite of patronage, in spite of detraction, in spite of scandals circulated con stantly for eight years, and in spite of his own refusal to make any effort to secure a Domination. With a unanimity hardly ever shown in any other instance, the Republicans from the States from which Repub lican majorities must come have preferred Mr. Blaiae as their stand ard bearer. Those who have beeu tattooing him may learn that the millions reject their. Flanders and despise their abuse. Are we to believe that, after list ening to charges against Mr. Blaine for eight years, the American peo ple have deliberately gone wrong ? Are we to suppose that the people prefer an unworthy man, or are not competent to weigh evidence against him ? He who has that idea shows that he does not believe in self gov ernment and is not fit for a share in it himself. Let the campaign pict ures be sent broadcast all over the land, by all means. But let James G. Blaine, James A. Garfield, and Abraham Lincoln be placed side by side, as the three most tattooed men of later American history. Thev knew each other well, trusted and loved each other, and were trusted and loved by the American people. 1 hat they were all tattooed is only proof that the men whom the Na tion trusts are sure to have creatures to slander them. Aeir York Trib une. KOK SHAME ! The discussion of Mr. Blaine's church affiliation is simply unwor thy of a self-respecting people. The simple truth about the whole mat ter is that Mrs. Blaine, the mother, was a devout Catholic. In her life, as a neighbor, she was, according to all accounts, a model woman. She has cone where no Questions are ask ed about forms of religion, 6nd to discusi her other than as a Chris tian woman is an outrage. The press of this country eught to be ashamed of it. There is no more question of Mr. Blaine's religious affiliation than there was of Gar field's, or indeed of any other candi date for the Presidency since the government was found. The question is raised by persons who have very little religion them selves, and who regard a hue-and-cry fair means to secure political ends. Suppose it were possible to proscribe men on account of the church affiliations of their ances tors, what would become of us all? Everyman and woman of European stock is descended from Catholic ancestors, unless some of the Norse people be excepted. And the old Norsemen were pagans, as we reckon nowadays. For that matter we all had pagan forbears, and for the most part the people who are discussing Mr. Blaine's religion are probably !agans now. It is not a Christian )usiness anyway, nor is it quite ae respectable as the old Norse pagan ism could be on occasion. It reminds one of the fetchism of Central and South Africa and the zealotry which partakes of the nature of the burning sands of arabin, In this age, in this country of universal toleration and among a composite people, such discussions are out of place and shameful. If for no other reason than to rebuke such outrages, the American people should elect Mr. Blaine. Xorth American. A t'OOd Werd For Blaine, Concorb, N. H July 3. At a Re publican demonstration at Concord, N. H., last night, Hon. O. C. Moor, editor of the Nashua Daily Tele graph, and one of 'the railway com missioners, made an able speech in defense of the party and eulogistic of Mr. Blaine. He said that among those who did great service in sav ing resumption from the waves of reaction that swept over the country no one deseryes more honor than the head of the Republican ticket. While other politicians were basking at the seaside or at the mountains Mr. Blaine was leading the contest against inflation and Greenback is ni in Maine, in New York, in Ohio. Wherever there was work to be done he was in the fore front. "I re call in one of the decisive contests in Maine, on this question a scene that took place in one of the beauti ful interior-towns of that State. It was a Saturday evening. A half-finished church had been thrown open for a meeting, and it was packed with people, who had come in from many miles around. For two hours Mr. Blaine held that great audience intent upon his argument, that tore the Greenback fallacies to shreds and built up an impregnable wall about the resumption act and the National Bank system. Up to that time, so far as I know, but one pub lic man in this country had attacked the central position ot the inflation ists by proving the unfitness of Con gress to determine the volume of the currency. Mr. Blaine did this in a masterly manner on that occasion and only General Garfield had done it before him. Still there are those to-day who would have us believe that Mr. Blaine was not sound on the question of resumption. In view of the Presidential cam paign just at hand, the following ta ble, given by a Chicago paper, will be of general interest, showing the number of electoral votes to be cast in the two sections of country.

Represent ative Ryan, of Kansas, who hi's been nominated for his fifth term in Con gress, says that a better ticket than Blaine and Logan could not have been nominated for his State. He says that "it is not a question of put ting on the collar and pulling, but of tightening up the breeching and holding back ; that Kansas will give over fifty thousand majority for the Republican candidates and a solid delegation to Congress." An Ox Koant. Gettysburg, July 4. The Fourth was celebrated here by an ox-roast and picnic at Round Top in honor of the completion of the ne rail road. Five thousand people were present The animal for the roast, donated by Colonel J. H. McClellan, was a fine one, cleaning bUU pounds. It was roasted whole on a furnace built especially for the work and was served with bread and coffee to the assembled multitude. Rev. Dr. M. Kieffer made a speech appropriate to the occasion. The novelty of an ox-roast drew people from all parts of this and the surrounding coun ties. Soldier at Gettysburg. Gkttvsuukg, July 2. Survivors of the Twentv-seventh Pennsylva nia Regiment unveiled a beautiful marble monument on East Cemetery Hill, and at the foot of the hill the One Hundred and Fifty-third Penn sylvania Regiment placed a tablet. ine One Hundred and twenty- fourth New York dedicated a mon ument near Devil's Den to Colonel Ellis, who was killed there. The Fourteenth Connecticut have dedi cating exercises tuursaay. The Veterans at Gettysburg. Gettysburg, Pa., July 3. At three o'clock this afternoon the Fourteenth Connecticut regiment visited Round Top avenue, the scene of Gen. Longstreet's assault, twenty years ago to-day and unveiled a monument ten feet high built of Adams county granite. Two bronze tablets on the base bear the regi mental records. After the unveil ing ceremonies the assemblage with drew to the neighborhood of the grove, where an address was deliv ered by Chaplain Henry S. Stevens. Most ot the visitors left for their homes to-night, but a few remain to be present at the barbecue at Round Top to-morrow in celebration of the completion f the Gettysburg and llarrisburg railroad and Round Top extension. A Faaalljr Paiaoaed. Erie. Julv 7. A whole familv bv the name of Curry was poisoned to day by eating canned beef. A young son, who had been sent t take din ner to his father and two brothers, being tempted by the dainty mor sels, stopped and ate some by the way. In an hour he, his mother, lather ana brothers were in a col lapsed condition with every symp tom of poisoning. After hours of horrible agony the father and moth er were relieved, but the condition of the boys is extremely doubtful. Soldering acids had united with the meat juices in the can. Tbrca Haatfred Utn Naved. Poughkeepsie, July 7. TheSum mit express ol the Ulster and Dela ware road, which left Grand Hotel station at 20 minutes to 4 p. ni..stop ped at Phoenicia and took on board three car loads of New York Busi ness men and others. The train was composed of engine, baggage car, Pullman car, two West Shore cars and three ordinary coaches. There were about three hundred passen gers on board. After leay ing Kings ton, going down the grade about 25 miles an hour, the encrineer, on roundinrr a curve, saw a mass of rocks partially covering the track. He applied the air brakes, pulled the reverse lever over and opened the throtlle wide, stopping the train in less than its length, but not until the rocks had stripped off all the steps from the left side of the train and broken every cast iron journal box away from every truck from the en gine to the rear of the train. Not a truck was dislodged, nor did any of the passengers know of their peril ous position until after the train had stopped, when they assisted laboring men in removing the obstruction, and the train reached Kingston one hour late. On the way thither, after the accident, the passengers gave a vote of thanks to the engineer for his coolness and bravery. Hall Vi -ht in Kansas. Dodge City, Kans., July 5. The first Mexcan bull fight on American soil occurred here yesterday, A large number of visitors by the trains east and west and 500 cow boys were present. The fight oc curred at the fair grounds in an arena 100 feet in diameter, enclosed by a fence eight feet high, provided with eight escapes and two ladders. There were five bull fighters and four animals. The first bull ush ered into the ring made only a fair fight, furnishing over a half hours amusement The second was too quiet, and, showing no spirit, was withdrawn. The third pranced in to the rincr. throwinz up clouds of dust. Alter being angered by sev eral spear thrusts he made matters very lively, and when he was ex hausted was lassoed and dragged from the ring. The fourth proved a failure, and the crowd demanded the first bull, which was returned to the ring. After a brisk fight and much charging the picador gave him a fatal thrust with his lance and he fell dead. One of the matta dors wa3 severely injured about the ribs in the final encounter and may not recover. The crowd was great ly excited during the progress of the exhibition, There were 4,000 per sons present. Youthful Bandits. Chicago, July 2. Georce Wiley and Albert Smith, aged 17 and 15 years, plead guilty to robbery to day. These boys and an older com rade, who has not vet been arrested, in Mav last formed an association which they styled the "Knights of the Plains," and started out as min iature road agents, starting on Prairie avenue. In the evening they met Joseph Hirsch and his daught er, Miss Rachel Hirsch, coming along. They ordered them to halt, and Wiley said : "Your money or your life." The girl took to her heels, as did her father, and the young scoundrels shot at them with 3S-caiiber self-cocking revolvers, in flicting slight wounds upon both. A pair of bowie knives and the revol vers were exhibited in court. The youths expressed great penitence. Wiley was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, and Smith was civ en a year in the Reform School. A Fearful Cyclono Sioux City, July 5. A storm which partook of the nature of a cyclone swept through the southern portion of this city last evening. A funnel shaped cloud, moving with great rapidity and giving out a roar ing sound, was one of tho distin guishing phenomena. TheCatholic bell tower was blown down and the walls of the church 60 badly shaken as to be unpafe. The new Episcopal mission school was wrecked. The plow factory, a large brick building, was razed to the ground. Loss to tho company, 815,000. Boo ges fc Co.'s packing house was dam aged $2,000. An immense oil tank at the oil works was blown to the ground, while a huge pile of empty barrels directly in front of the oil tank was undisturbed. The plate glass fronts of seyeral stores were destroyed. nrosned in M Meant Falls. Buffalo, July 7. Yesterday a man's clothing was found down at the old Maid of the Mist landing on the American side of the Niagara river, at the entrance to the whirl pool rapids. A memorandum book found in the clothes gave the nam of D. Albert, who, it was discovered, was from Ulica and was registered at the Frontier House. Albert was in the habit of bathing at the Maid of the Mist landing every evening and was a very daring swimmer. He was frequently warned, but seem ed to take no heed. It is believed he was trying to find the current, in order to successfully swim the whirlpool rapids, where Captain Webb met his fate. He waj about 35 years old, tall and of n blonde complexion. The affair is the sub ject of considerable excitement at the falls, and there are many con jectures as to whether it is suicide or accident. Fired hy Xea-raes. Mobile, Ala., July 4. As a party of Democrats, twenty-one in num ber, were returning from a political meeting at Bull's head, four miles from town, this afternoon, their wag on was fired into by two negroes armed with shotguns. A railroad mechanic named Charles Smith had both eyes shot out and expired within an hour. Six others were more or less seriously wounded. The negroes were in a Catholic grave yard, partly hidden by a fence. They escaped by running. The attack was evidently caused by a small disturbance which took place be tween a white man and a negro dur ing the progress of the meeting at Bull's Head. An Incompetent Olficial'a Work. PirrsnuuG, July 2. Through ir- regularities in the reports made by Mercantile Appraiser Young, the revenues of Allegheny will suffer heavily g hundreds ot business men will escape without paying taxes, not having beea assessed. In mak ing up the reports many prominent firms were left out altogether. A large number were returned ter less than, the necessary amount while others were on the list who had not been in business for over a year. Muchly Married. Louisville, Ky., July 2 "Doc tor" Hirschberj', who was captured by tho police immediately alter his release from the workhouse, proves, according to reports, to be the most extensively married man who has been seen on Kentucky soil for many davs. He was presented to the City Court six weeks ago on a charge of bigamy, and Judge Thomp son sent him to the workhouse. On Saturday he was released, but the "Doctor'' hai scarcely replaced his foot in the central part of the city before he was arrested on a warrant sworn to by a woman from Chicago, changing him with bigamy, and as a result he is again in jail. The Chi cago woman says that she has infor mation that she is his tenth wife. She is a German. Before this in Buf falo he marritd an Irish girl, i The next one was at Cleveland. Still later at Montreal be took unto him self a French girl. At New Orleans a mulatto was'added, and since then he has married six different Ameri can women. In fact, she says, she is well satisfied that she is his latest victim. A Brave Convict. Plymouth, Eng., July 1. Yester day, while a cans of twenty-five con- vieta were at "work here, one of the number threw a large stone at the solitary warder, which struck the officer on the head, inflicting a stun ning blow. The entire gang imme diately rushed upon him, but "life" convict, named Steyens, out- striped the others of the gang, seized the warder's rifle and ammunition, and fired upon the advancing gang, six of whom he seriously wounded. When the ammunition was exhaust ed, Stevens clubbed five others with theritie, and when assistance arrived he was completely exhausted. The details wrre promptly reported to the Government, and Sir Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary, gave or ders that Stevens should be reward ed aud released from seutence. When this was made known to the convict he fainted. Sunday Law in Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Julv 1. The citi zens' League has decided to attempt the enforcement of the Sunday law which demands that all saloons 8hf.ll be closed on that day. The move will necessarily include a dozen lartre parks, under the management of leading brewing companies, and the Germans will resist the move, together with 10,000 saloon keepers now licensed. The law has heretofore been utterly dis regarded, every form of liquor inter est running wide open. The fire and test case will be that of the sa loon called "Y. M. C. A.," which opened last week next door to the Young Men's Christian Association, aud which took that name. The Association members were strenu ous in opposition to granting a li cense to this saloon keeper. A Fatal Snake Bite. Louisville, Ky., July 4. Last evening us Miss Amelia Yates was going from the kitchen door to" the cistern, at her home on Bank street, she lelt a stinging sensation m her ankle, and rushed into the house screaming that she had been bitten by a snake. The family, thiuking she was mistaken, asked her where she was bitten. The girl made no answer, but fell fainting to the floor. Dr. Chas. Parsons was immediately summoned. When he arrived Miss Yates' ankle was swollen to twice its naturrrl size. Remedies were ap plird without success; the swelling co'itiuued, and late last night all hopes of the young lady's recovery were abandoned, blood poisoning having resulted. Her cheek was so badly swollen the skin burst, and her death is hourly expected. tiorrroor Pattlaoa Mandamasetl. II AiiKisnuuG, July 5. Judge Sim onton to-day filed an opinion in the case of Jonathan M. Nieman, of Pottstown, against Governor Patti son, an action to compel the latter to grant the former a commission as Justice of the Peace of the Third ward of Pottstown, Montgomery county. Nieman was elected in February last, and a commission was refused him on the ground that the ward was not entitled to a Jus tice of the Peace. Judge Simonton, in his opinion, says that the borough of Pottstown is entitled to one Jus tice for each ward, and that Nie man s election iook place at tne proper time. He grants the per emptory mandamus on the Governor compelling him to issue the com mission. A "Vil4 Lunatic. New Bloom field, July 1. Taylor Wright, a powerful lunatic, "ran amuck in Newport yesterday. He knocked down Samuel A. Peale, of New Bloomfield, and several other men, severely injuring two ot them. He broke a score or more of windows and it required the combined efforts of five men to subdue him. He was heavily ironed and lodged in jail here, and to-day . he again became violent, wrenching his cell doors from their fastenings and smashing everything that came within his reach.

Indiann Dj ins of Starvation. Helena, Montana, June 29. Major Allen Piegon, Indian Agent for Northern Montana, reports that the Indians are dying fa3t from the scant food supply at the agency. The carpenter has furnished thirty coffins in tho past month, but it is believed that the deaths are fully thrice that number, as the Indians have a great dislike to burying their dead, they preferring the old cus tom of placing the bodies in trees or in stone piles on high hills. The death rate i3 greatest among chil dren from 5 to 12 years of age. In another week the supplies will be entirely exhausted, and the 3000 Indians on the reservation will be left to starve or subsist on the cat tle of the settlers. Trouble is fear ed.

The secret service division of the Treas ury Department has received advi ces that a new counterfeit ?10 silver certificate has appeared in the West. It is supposed to have been printed from a wood cut, but is likely to de ceive an ordinary judge of money. It is "fceries LSS0, U. W. Sehofield, Register, Jas. Gilfillan, Treasurer." The note is one quarter of an inch shorter than the genuine paper, in composed of two thin layers with silk, parallel lines and fiber placed between. In the story on the back, where it should read "and all public dues and when so received," the word "all" is entirely omitted, and the word "when so" are tied togeth er as one word, ihere are numer ous other delects which judges of of paper money will readily dis cover.
