While observing and contemplating the great changes above stated,' the following 1 lines of a poem I read in my boyhood days were forcibly impressed upon my mind.

I I almost forgot to mention that the old- time hospitality for which Smierset County has always been proverbial remains unchan- Whr '" ReV" J W' Smous 7 We l"arn fn.iu tbe Johnstown TrV-uuevf T lrs,iay morning that iMective Lohrer, of Kavena. Ohio, has been searching the raotin- ,ai,,s l'"u, endeavoring to asrtaiti the w hereammts of one Rev. J. . smouse, an important w itness in thefamous"Blinky ' Morgan case now being tried at Kavena. It seems that Rev. Smouse confided to tlie Johnstown -lolice that he had witnessed the Cital assault upon IVtcctive Huliigan on the train between alliance and Ravena; and Ibis information being forwarded to tlie lUvena authorities Reverend Smouse was requested to visit that place, and identity the prisoner. This he hid on the 17th of August, picking Morgan out from all the other inmates of the jail. This positive identification convinced the Ravena authorities that Smouse was an im portant witness, and his expenses were paid to and from his home. Ou Satuniay, the 15th, Smouse was in Johnstown, where the Purges showed him a telegram authorizing the payment of all of his expenses to and fn-tu Kavena. Smouse said a conference of his church was to be held the following week at McKce's trap, in Biair county, and thai he had to be present as a member of an imimnant committee, ami directed that any telegraph or mail matter should be forward ed to him there. Satuniay evening a tele gram was received by the Johnstown au thoritics saying that arrangements had lieen made hi have Smouse testify ou Tuesday and for him to he there without fail on that day. Tins message was f irwanle-1 to the Rever end gentleman but he failed to call for it as agreed, and it was returned. Tuesday mor ning Detective Lohrer arrived in Altoona, whence he journeyed, to McKee's ap, where be learned that Smouse was not there and had not lieen there. LohnT then came to Johnstown, and he and Olfiier Steam, of the Johustown ibrce dmve out to S mouse's residence al Kairview, Jackson Township Mrs. Smou-se informed them tliat her Inls Isind hail left home on Tuesday morning, saying he was going tuattend to aomechun-h matters, but not staling where he was going. It was however learned that he had gone to possession U the district Attornery at Ra vena. That official replied directing Lohr er to follow Smouse up and get him at all luuards. In compliance with these instructions. IMective Lohrer took the Friiiay afternoon train on the S. A C. Air Berlin, arriving there that evening. He learned that Smouse had left town, but was doubtless some place in the neighborhood. Satuniay morning the Detective ascertained that about midnight Smouse was driven from the house at winch he was stopping, near Berlin, to a cniss niad several miles fnm that town bv a man nain- etl Knepjier. At the cms roads Hni.mse alighted fnim the mr and told the driver he had no furtlier use r him ; that he did not wish him to know where he was iroing. Knepper llieu retiinieil to his home, leaving Smotiseon the road. Ihrer learneil that Smouse had maile an engap-nient to preach at Snyder's church on Saturday evening, and he waited there for him but he did not put in an appearance, Lohrer spent the niht at Snviicr s. came to j Johnstown Sunday morning and took the j lirst train for home very much disgusted with the conduct of Rev. J. V . Smouse. The prosecution regards Mr. Smouse as one of its most important witnesses. He is wanted principally to corrolsirate the testi mony of one Nellie Campbell, or Kennedy, a sporting woman, who testified as to Win key" Morgan getting her a drink on the train just before tlie assault on Officer Hulii gan. Smouse witnessed tlie transaction, and he ia wanted tn corroborate the woman's testimony, the evidence of women of ill re pute not being reganled as very convincing or trustworthy. What Smouse means hy bis conduct in lying and hilling from the officers of the law and in refusing to do lua duly as a citizen in bringing to justice atuh a brutal murderer as j Morgan, he alone can explain. As a minis ter of tlie gospel, it would seem that be ought to feel a special interest in tbe prosecution. Wanted ! Hide, Fun, Bark.

FbiTos Uealo : Sir : It is generally admitted by all fair minded persons that tbe l'ruhibition party draws its following more largely fnim the Republican than from the IVmocratic party. Hon. C. S. Wolfe admits this fa-t, and seems to 6-el good over il. The exact pen-entage contribtitcil by tbe respective parties to the Prohibition movement is not known, but it safe to say that Tnm t to 75 per cent come fmra tbe Republican party. Suppose it were possible for the Pndiibi tion movement to draw from the Uepublh-an party a following large enough to defeat it this (all, what benefit would tbe country or the Prohibition movement derive from it? So intelligent man would disgrace hia intel lect to argue that the defeat of tbe Republi can party would bring victory to the Inhi bition movement. If tbe Republican party is defeated tbe Democratic party .'and not the Pmhibition movement, will be the victors. No intelligent man wilt dispute this. What does tbe Democratic party ppuuise. in tbe way of temperance legislation, if successful at tbe poll? The repeal of the " high license law" and the defeat of the pnwibilory amendment " is what that party promises. Can any one dispute this? It is what the party promises, aud what it will do if it gets cont nd of the Legislature. I again inquire what benefit tbe country and the cause of temperance would derive from the defeat of the Republican party and the success of the Democratic party ? Xo sane man would be willing to say that the cause of temperance had been subserved by such a result. It is -equally true that if the Pmhibition move-j merit, as a political movement, amounts to : anything, that it will circumvent tlie success ,; of the Republican parry. Tlie most formid- j able enemy of tlie temperance cause is found I in tbe Prohibition pulliiatl mwemait and the j Democratic party. Why does the Prohibition movement draw I more largely from the Republican than the 1 IeroH-ratic.party ? It must beadmitted that I it is because it contains more temperance ad- j rotates than the Democratic party. There 1 are at least three temperance men in the lie- publican party to one in the Itemocratic pur- j ty. Why then try to defeat the best temper- j ance party? Why dou't the Pmhihitionists unite with the best temperance party and '. cary it triumphantly thnaigh at the polls? V ould this not be wisdom 7 vt by not do as I the Abolition party did in ls unite with the party that pnnnises tbe most, and can do ! the moot? Had the old Anolition party done as the advoc-utes of political Pmhibition are doing, slavery in North America would still ' exist as it did in i si. The old Alsiiitiouists ; were desjienitely iu earnest, and at oiu-e fell in with the Republican party because it : pnmised, not lo afiolish slavery, but to op- -; pose its extension beyond its then existing limits. It makes one feel sick when he hears one of those political Prohibitionists say : j " Well, the Abolitionists were despised, and ' now we are sufferers with them for au equal- , ly good cause." Their suffering isforothiv ; only. Those self-eonstituled martyrs are more the subject of contempt than objects of j commiseration. 1 The Abolitionist were wise men and by uniting with the Republican party accotu- 1 phscd their ends. So can the temperance workers accomplish every honest and lawful i purpose by voting with the anti-Whiskey ; party. j Not only is there danger in displacing the Republican Jiarty because it would defeat 1 temperance measures now well begun, but there is a iicsierate effort being made to re- 1 peal our Sunday laws, and the iH-mocratic ' party and the "whiskey dealers are united ; iu an effort to accomplish it. Tiie liquor ' men pay a certain percentage of their income into the Dem'H.ratic campaign fund. A por- I tion of that money is used to orgmize " Per- sonal Liberty Leagues." What do these leagues want? ' Free whiskey and no Sun- day is their object. In the state of New York those leagues are liberal and agree to let Christian people have one-half of the day but the other half must be unrestricted in the sale of intoxhating drinks. In conclusion I would inquire how much the Prohibition party is doing to impmve tlie chanises Ibr the success of the Ietiiix-nitic party and whiskey-seller? Kvery Republi can that votes the Pmhibition ticket casts his vote, not for pmhibition. but for whis key and no Sunday. M k. Confluence. Vt. '.'4. lt7. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has lieen experimenting for some time with an automatic whistle, the object of which is to give the signal at grade crossings, whether the engineer be awake or sh-eping. The de vice is a very simple one. consisting simply of a bar or lever connecting with the whistle and extending down to within one inch of the track. At a point six hundred yanls from the crossing a pmjection is placed which, striking against the lever, starts the w histle. Should the engineer be asleep, the shrill note of the whistle directly over his head would undoubtedly awake him. Ir. Marbourg. the Democratic i-andidate for sheriff, surprised his friemls on show day by making his appearance in a new suit I of store clothes, a clean shirt and a " dude " ! collar. This Ls the first time the doctor has I ever been known to indulge in the luxury of a collar. 'Tis strange what humiliating things a candidate tor office will do. h'rrrrtt Prat.
