Thev seemed greatly relieved when the speeches nominating the candi dates we're all in, and Butler's name had nut been mentioned. Mr. Teter Dnnibauld, one of the P.epabli can candidates for County Commissioner, had the misfortune to be on a load of hay that was overturned list week. His wrist was so badly sprained that he has been un able to do any work since. The colored camp-meeting, now being held in Hugus' grove, south of town, was very well attended on Sunday.

The bulletin board in front of Fisher's bookstore was the Mecca of Somerset demo crats last week. The rejnirts from the Chicago Convention, bulletined even' few minutes, were anxiously watched. The nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks was favorably received, but created no enthu siasm. The Citizens' Cornet Band, of Greenslmrg, which spent a few .lays in camp on Par son's hill last year, are making arrange ments to go into camp in the Branr grove, south of town, some time during the month of August. The boys made a numler of warm friends during their stay last sir.umrr, who will be glad to greet them again.

James Street, for many years engineer on the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, be came suddenlv insane last week, and as bis train approached Maurh Chunk, instead of slackening, he opened wide the throttle valve and ran for several miles at the rate of a mile a minute, frightening the passen gers and all along the line. On the fourth page of this issue will be found an interesting article descriptive of the Laurel ess cattle ranch, of Texas, which is said to be the largest and best equipped in the world.

A Jersey dealer who buys tl.eiu by the thousands says horses were not so scarce or dear since war times as they are at present Ordinarr draught horses of sound condition bring tJno without any difficulty. Such is the scarcity that many farmers and others are substituting mules, which ore now be ing brought East in large quantities from Texas. A hardware merchant living on Main street, is an enthusiastic Blaine and Iigan man, while his next door neigbbor, who is in the dry goods business, is jut as enthu siastic for Cleveland and Hendricks. After a prolonged and animated discussion as to j the merits of the different parties and canoi dates, Saturday evening, they finally con cluded, as each was sure of his man, to bet stores on the result.

The Louse of William CMill.-r. of Mid- dlecreek township, together with all its con tents, was totally destroyed by fire on the nicht of the th of Julv. The fire was dis covered about 2 o'clock in the mornics, and had made such btadwav that Mr. Miller and family barely escaied with their lives. All their wearing apparel, mg.ther with the household furniture, was lost. No in surance, and no knowledge as to the origin of the fire. The born of Mr. Wi!lim ZirarnerrSyn. about one mile southwest of Somerset, was burned to the ground on Friday morning last. The Cre was undoubtedly of incendia ry origin. At the time of the tire there was a considerable amonDt of bsy, train, a fine new wauii, and a large amount of farm machinery in the barn. Fortunately for Mr. Zimmerman he had been using his mower in the afternoon, and left it stand ing in the field. At a recent meeting of tUe t int -a! Board of Education in the city ot Pittsl urgb, Mr. R. F. Patterson was selected as IWeysorof Greek and Itin for the Pilu-burjh High hool for the ensuing school year. The hoard is to le congratulated on having so cured a most efficient instructor, and one who will devote himself conscientious: y to his work. Mr. Pattersons luany friends here will lie pleased to know that he is so fortu nately situated, wiih work eo entirely con genial. A number of Republicans of Somerset borough and township met at the Court House on Saturday evening for the pnriiose of organizing a Blaine and Logan club. The meeting was organized by the selection of J. M. Cook, as President A. J. Colborn and V.J. Homer, as Vice Presidents, and Par ker Trent as Secretary- J. I. Pngb, D. J. Horner. Charles J. Harrison, L, C. Col bom. and F. J. Koostr were named ae a commit tee on enrollment and organization. Fifry ooe names were enrolled. Says the DuBois Juyrwt : "The b:jrer days' tawing ever done at DuBoia' big mill was accomplished on Thursday of last week, and it is probably the highest record ever made by single mill in the State in one day. The total amount of lumber cut was 1!2,KM feet and RJ.noo lath. The several gangs turned out the following amounts: Big gang, S3,79s ; W. H.gang. ),134 ; pony gang, 17,379 ; edger, S,720. This mountain of lumber was cut in eleven hours. That I!iulljajt Meteor. Over one hun dred and fifty nebuue which have escaped the vision of previous astronomers bare re cently been discovered by Dr. Lewis Swift, I'ireHor of the Warner Observatory, Roch ester, X. Y. One of these is of a most pe culiar nature, and seeing to be undergoing a wonderful change. Dr. Swift desires to thoroughly investigate the great meteor, which appeared on the night of July 3d, and for this purpose requests all wbo saw it to communicate with biro at the Warner Ob servatory, Rochester, X. Yn immediately, giving the direction of view, motion, col or, etc. We are informed that the Lutheran con gregation at this place are about to make some such arrangement in regard to the cemetery on the hill, which is under their control, as will hereafter make it the beau tiful resting place for the dead that it should be. Walks are to be laid put where practi cable, and the unsightly weeds and briars removed. The whole community will re joice in this, as the present condition of parts of this cemetery are a disgrace to the town, and excite a great deal of unpleasant criticism from the strangers who visit it The entire community would doubtless be glad to contribute to this improvement, if given an opportunity. Mr. William M. Hall, the engineer in charge of the "twin tunnels" on the line of the fckmth Pennsylvania railroad, near Chambcrsburg, Pa., met with a terrible ac cident at Haacock. Md.. on Sunday the 13th insU la attempting to jump from a run ning train at the station on the Western Maryland railroad at that place he lost his footing and was thrown under the cars, the wheels passing over bis legs, severed the left one between the knee and ankle and the great toe from bis right foot Mr. Hall was well and favorably known in Somerset, having sjent a year here engaged on the pre liminary survey of the 8. P. R. R. His many friends will be sorry to learn of bis misfortune. The telegram announcing "Cleveland nominated on second ballot," fell like a wet blanket on the ardor of the local democra cy, who were assembled in groups around the diamond all day Friday. The an nouncement wasn't greeted with a sincle cheer, in strange contrast to the news of Blaine's nomination, when the air ex-hoed with shouts for the " Plumed Knight" In fact, the nomination of the half-breed-governor democrat is so confessedly weak, that instead of creating enthusiasm, it creates distrust. It would be untrue to say that the nomination gives anything like satisfaction to Somerset democrats, and since Mr. Cof froth voted against him from first to last, the marching orders are not likely to prove very strong. The new postal note which is to be sub stituted for the old and original issue, was recently issued. The old color was yellow, the new is of a iilac tint, and much hand somer In appearance. It is not so compli cated as the original design, and can be tilled out ninth more rapidly, the only punching required being in the column of dimes and cents on the right hand aide of the note. On the left are coupons desig nating the number of dollars, one coupon remaining attached for one dollar, two for two dollars, and so on. In the old issue the dollars, dimes and cents were all on the one side, and required to be punched. On the one side of the new design is a vignette in the shajw of a shield, in which is represent ed the Goddess of Liberty. The Republicans of Somerset township mean to work it op in great shape this year and for that reason those living in the Will comer have organized a club to be known a? the "Will's School District Blaine and Logan Club." The club starts with forty six member-, and promises to double its number between now and the first of No vember. The following officers were elected at the first meeting: A X.

Mr. Bowser was alone in the field, which was distant about half a mile from his house, He stopped the horses, uuhitched them, drew himself up on one, rode across the field, got down again and crawled to the bars, took them down, crawled back to bis horse and got on again and then rode to his house and crawled into the sitting room before bis family knew be was injured: A doctor was promptly on Jhand and did all that could be done for him, but the chances are that Mr. Bowser will be a cripple fur lifo.

FrOUl SOIU6 insidious and unknown cause, James, son of Mr. Jarred Trigg, of Houtzdale, Clearfield County, Pa., 17 years of age, had found his health broken down and bis eyes becoming blind. For a year and a half be had a bad cough by spells, but of bite had not beei trouble.! by it. The constantly increasing and now nearly total blindness brought tiim with bis father to Dr. Sadler, the oculist, 04 Tenn avenue, Pittsburg. A careful exami nation found him in a very dangerous con dition. He had no appetite, tongue heavily coated, the pulse was 120, temperature 100 6 10 degrees, respiration 24 to the minute with unnatural sounds in the right lung; his legs were so near paralyzed he could barely walk. The eyes were red with a white scum over both, and so blind be could not see to go in a strange place alone. While under treatment be stoped with bis friend, Mr. Francis Cooper, of McKeesport Yesterday he returned home ; though not as rugged looking as before the failure of bis beaith, yet his eyes are as bright and clear, his step erect and firm, bis pulse and breathing nat ural, with a good appetite and improviug every day in strength. Editor Herald .I dislike yery much to further trespass on your space or patience, but in justice to myself I can hardly allow that venomous and scurrillous article or ar ticles, which seemed to he about all the readable matter contained in the Tuna of last week, to go entirely unnoticed. The most belittleing part of the whole business and the only part of which I am in the least ashamed, is that I allowed myself to be drawn into a controversy with the unprin- Ncipled pnp. I recently happened on the "There aretwo modes of establishing our reputation : to be praised bv bonest men, and to be abused by rogues. It is best how ever, to seen re the former, because it will be invariably accompanied by the latter. His calumniation is not only the greatest benefit a rogue can confer upon us. but it is also the only service that be will perform for noth ing."" This, I think, fills the bill in this particu lar, and so far as I am concerned the mat ter shall rest with this, because I consider that the more be tries to slander me the more be lifts me up in the estimation of all decent people, and the worst he can say about me is the highest compliment he can ay me. Yours Yery Truly, W. Frank Gall. Jexxertows-. Pa., July 14, lSt4. Sixoi lar Problem roa the Yocso Foles. A curiaus and wonderful problem is this : A stranger enters a room and states to the persons there assembled, that if, when be shall be again absent, some person will num V Ions in the room consecutively. or, for that matter, any other way be may see fit and then touch one of the joints of that person's fingers, the stranger will, npon his again returning to the room, tell the number of the person, the number of the finger and the number of the joint in the finger touched. The method is this : Maltiply the number of the person by 2 then add 5, then multiply the result by S, then add 10, then add the number of the band ; then multiply by 10 : then add the number of the finger ; then multiply by 10; then add tbe number of the joint; then sub tract 3500 from the final result Tbedigit inthejunitjpiaoe of the result will give tbe number of the joint; tbedigit in tbe ten's place will indicate the number of the finger; the digit in the hundred's place will give the number of the band (No. 1 right band. No. 2. left band) and the digit or digits on tbe thousands, etc., places, will tell tbe number of the person wbo has been touched. Thus, 9231 means 1st joint 3d finger. 2d hand, person No. 8. Again. 17, 143 means 3d joint, 4th finger. 1st band, person Xo. 17 ; for, be it observed. all digits to tbe left of the hundreds indi cate tbe numbers of the person. Tbe reason for this result, though seeming very wonderful, is very plain when dis sected. Gram Seem akd Oats. In stock, another shipment clover, timothy and German Mil let, direct from Chicago.

The chapter devoted to tbe or igin of the party and its national outcome from the dismemberment of prior parties is of exceeding interest, as are also tbe points showing party policy as expressed through Congressional action. The condensed pro ceedings of the National Conventions of tbe various parties, from the earliest period of the country's history to tbe prasent, is of no ordinary value, and it is a thing never be fore attempted in such form of publication. Indeed, it would be difficult to tell of all tbe important : information gathered together and shown so intelligently in the little book. . Those wbo desire so invaluable a text book for handy reference, as matters grow interesting, will not delay long in inclosing a two-cent stamp to C K. Loid, Baltimore, this being tbe only requisite to secure a copy. In addition te the data having direct bearing upon tbe one party, there is a vast amount of information given as regards both parties, and with tbe Red Book at band no one need be at a loss for an authority to settle almost any question in political his tory which may come up. In common with all tbe B. Si O. publications, it is a model of perfect typography, the make-up and type used generally being very far above the average of political text-books. A TRAMr or 02,000 Miles. Every person about Greensburg is familiar with the aged but hale and vigorous figure of Terry Mc Cabe, the faithful night watchman of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The di vision of tbe road under his efficient care extends from the tunnel east of Radebaugh's station to a point east of wbat is commonly called McCauslin's cut, a distance of two and one-half miles. Oyer this route Watch man McCabe makes four trips nightly, and carefully examines the tracks and their belongings, that no accidents to passing trains may occur. His patient, steady and, lonesome nightly tramp along the road aggregates ten miles. His trips are made every night in the week, making a total of 70 mile weekly, or 3,640 miles a year. As watchman McCabe has been in continuous, actiye service for a period of fully seventeen years, it will be seen that be has tramped along tbe tracks on bis division beat an ag gregate distance of 61,8eO miles. If the in cidental walking, including his going and returning from bis nightly task, were com puted, it would;bc safe to say that during his seventeen years of service be has trudg ed 70,0'0 miles. His walks are made every night in the year, regardless of rain or wind, tropical warmth or the bitterest winter cold and storm. How well and faithfully he has discharged his plodding and gravely responsible task, is attested by abscace of casualities on the division under his charge, where blame would attach to him, In the past seventeen years. A clear idea can be formed of the great walk of Watchman McCabe, when it is con sidered that tbe distance lie has covered would be more than twice around the world But few reductions need be made for nights off or time lost, as he has suffered tittle or no sickness during that period. In a num ber of instances mentioned during the gen eral period, the faithful watchman has been on duty 3tl5 consecutive nighis during the course of a year. On different occasions, while not neglecting his own duties, he has been of much service to property holders of tl( borough in his nightly perambulations, by discovering and promptly reporting in cipient . fires, in the quiet watches when j nearly all other eyes were closed in slum ber. From the elevated dumps, on the east and west side of the town, an excellent ob servation of the borough is to be had, equal to the walls of the ancient cities on which the watchmen tramped in their nightly vigil Progress or the Work o the S. P. R. R. East of Vs. The Chambersburg Rrponlory thus tells of how work on the South Penn sylvania railroad is progressing in Franklin county : Work is being pushed at the Twin tunnels with more than usual activity. On the eastern end, on the Cumberland Valley side of the Blue Mountain, they are under ground nearly 1C0 feet. As the heading was only turned three weeks ago this is considered very good progress, taking into consideration that the work is bei ng done with hand drills. , Tbe 110 horse power compressor is in place near the portal and will be in running order by tbe middle of July. They are still in the approach cut at the west end of Blue Mountain, though 100 men are digging in the yellow dirt on that side for all it is worth, and the contractors expect to be under ground here iu at least three weeks. The contractors, Mason, Hoge A Co., will have an air compressor on this side, too, and evidently intend to keep np their reputation as pushers on tun nel work. They are working Italians and negroes on both sides of the mountain, the negroes taking the cake as band drillers. The foremen are principally Virginians and Alabamaians. At the east end of Kittatin ny mountain, just 650 feet from the west end of Blue Mountain, Evans & Ackerman are pegging away into tbe mountain side with their customary persistency. They are almost 200 feet under the ground now, and have been obliged to timber the whole way in. ' They are drilling through very changeable material. Ijist week water was struck in the heading and the drillers and muckers looked like drenched rats, despite their yellow oil skin sails. But they are pretty well through that now and are in a dry spot in the blue rock once 'more. The compressor in Guen ter's Valley runs tbe drill at both ends of tbe tunnel, forcing the air over the mountain and running four drills in the heading with comparative ease. On 'he other (Aniberson Valley) side the beading has been driven a little over 100 feet, full height and width j nearly the entire distance. They are driv ing through the entire distance. They are driving through good material and are not j timberine. The foremen on this side are rustiers and are betting suits of clothes and month's wages that they will be further in by August than Superintendent Kalmback at the other end. "Glycerine Jack," (no body knows bis real name) an old time tun nel foreman will wager you any amount that their heading passes tbe middle of the mountain. Four machine drills in a tunnel make a fearful racket. You can hardly bear yourself think. In all tbe tnnnels bits of rock will occasionally drop from the roof and playfully tap some light hearted Italian on the head. : But they don't mind a little thing like that and no one bas yet been e- hurt MARRIED.

Two young men took Mary Alertly and Millie Zurth, aged respectively 12 and 13 years, rowing on the river Sunday afternoon and the boat was capsized. ah but Mary Manly were drowned She drew herself across the keel of the upturned boat and kept this po sition until U o'clock at night, when the swell of a passing steamer wash ed her off. Although nearly help less by tbe chilly water, she succeed in clutching the boat again, and when daylight came she found her self drifting fast down stream and near the Canadian shore. Wnen the boat drifted into the long grass she tried to cet hold of the grass and slipped from tbe boat She was so weak and sore that she did not at tempt to get back on it again, but caught the rope attached to the bow and drew herself up near it, to which she clung, feeling that she must stay there and die. At this point the girl was about 600 feet frcm the shore. Between her and the land, however, was a mass of green wild grasses, through which it would be difficult under any circumstances to work a boat, and here she lay until 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon. At this time she had reached a point nine miles below this city and six miles below where she went into the water ard about 1000 yards from the house if a farmer named Joseph Duroecher. Her continued cries attracted the attention of Duroecher, who was picking cherries on his farm which runs dawn to the river. He pro ceeded to follow them up. This led him to the river bank, where he could distinctly locate the cries in the bushes, out of sight, and plainly cries of distress. Procuring a small boat, he worked his way out and found the girl, exhausted and des pairing, clinging to the rope. She was completely benumbed, as she had been in the water over eighteen hours. Her hands were so helpless that she could not move her fingers from the position in which she had clutched for support. Durocher car ried her to his home, where she was properly cared for and she has near ly recovered. Making Hay on Sunday 1st Erie. liRiE, July 9. Fairview township is excited over a singular arrest. James Sampson, an opulent farmer and liheralist in religion, fearing that a threatening etorm would de stroy nine acres of hay on Sunday last, called out his farm hands and beganthe work of haying. Horr ified at the desecration of the Sab bath, the congregation of an ad joining church sent out a dele gation, of deacons headed by Deacon Perkins, to stop the sacri lege. Affecting to believe the dea cons were sent to lend him a help ing hand, he offered each a hay fork or rake, and when they called upon him to observe the law of the Bible he said he could find nothing in that book relating to having in Fair view township. Three hours later the etorm broke, but Sampson's hay was saved at the alleged expense of his soul. Under the blue laws an information was made before the Recorder of Erie to-day, and a war rant was issued. Sampson says that if convicted he will prosecute the minister, organist, choir and all paid members of the church for working on Sunday. From Prayer Meeting to Jail. Eeie, July 9. The exilement over the wreck of the Erie County Savings Bank was renewed this eve- me by the arrest of the defaulting president, Adam Brabender. He is charged by one of the depositors, Daniel Illig, with having fraudu lently embezzled 8150,000 of the funds of the bank. Brabender, when arrested, was on his way to piayer meeting. A few Sundays since he officiated at the laying of the corner stone of the Lu theran Memorial Church, of which he is a trustee. He was committed this evening in default of $100,009 bail.
