Miller, of yoemahoning, called at the HnAU otSce Monday morning. The Captain it a dyed-in-the-wool Republi can, and feels quite gtx over the coming election of Harrison and Morton. The Johnstown Trim says: Among those present ot (leneral ( ampbell's funeral was Ma jor Yutzy, third in conintand of the regiment, who has U-en near death's dixtr several times His old companions were re joiccfl to nee him able to pay the lat debt r ( irrw to his old commander. Llai k dipiitUeria ha broken out at S-ott-da'.r and vicinity and fnmtsiix to eight cases are n';rted daily. There have been no l-jth so Car. The sciioois at that place have !wvn t!oeI.

Exciiaiiaies say that a couple of slcvk looking individuals are going aixiiit the country sa iudling township treasuries out of sums of money ranging from ili to to", on the pretense of repairing black-boards in school hou-s. only iliring the official's order for performing the work, which turns tip in a few days as an order oa the town ship's treasury, projierly signed, and cashed by an innocent party. Friend Daniel BmbaRer, of Pair.t, who was in a:tendance at court last week as a ju ror, tailed at the Herald otfi.x. Mr. Bru baker is a t :oro'.igh Kepiibhcan and in the course of conversation remarked : "It won't tlo to pj to sleep this t-aiupaicn, thinking the majority in S-onersel county will be large em.iu'li, hut every Republican should be wide awake and working for the entire tick et. The tvsti!t i never certain until the votes have been counted." A very important judicial opinion was given in the courts at C'hambersburg. Pa., recently. Suit was brought by Ivinia Small, nnder the MairieJ Personal Property Act of June 3. 17. ajainst her husband for about y;.i' given him thirty-two years ago. The facts were agreed upon, an.l the contest wa as to whether the Act referred to gives the wife the power tosueher huslwnd. Afier an able argument on either side, the Court der ided that the Act gave such power. When court called Tuesday morning Judge llaer ordered the discharge of all jurors from f.inher attend v"i; iiihu thj ourt, exrept th .se inipantirled in t!ieraof the. cum mou weal'.h vs E ltnutid Cummins and I.

It is proba ble that a special term will be calleil before the next ren'ar tent lor tlie tnat ot tne continued civil list. There are some things a level-headed hu man leing should never do. Among these is to kindle .1 tire wi:h the aid of coal oil, to walk on the raiirjad track, to attempt to g on a moving train, to point a gtin or pistol at another, to put his name on anoth er man's note, to keep his savings in an obi sta king under his bed, to play a game of chance with a prepossessing stranger, to take jiatent medicine for his real or imaginary aliments, to run for oliice when he has a paying situation in private lifeto call a big ger nisn than himself a liar.

A special train over the Somerset & Cam bria rni!m,i Saturday carried about fifty numbers of Somerset Castle Knights of th robien eagle, and large delegation from the Rock wood and lloovers-rille Castles, to Johnstown, w lie re they partwipsled in a re union of their order front the adjoining cuan ties. Shortly after three o'clock in the after noon the 4?M Knights in line paraded tbrongh the principal streets of Johnstown. They presented a very fine apjiearanee. their bright uniforms prescntine. a very showy turnout. Six bands of music added greatly to the spirit of the ovasion by their fitrs music. The banquet of the Knights at Turn-- Hall in tlie evening waa a very pleasant affair. The Somerset Knights returned home late in the nielli on their special train. The latest plan for reviving the South Pennsylvania Railroad is to sell oat the road snd wind op the affairs of tlie old company as soon as p.ssib!e. considering the litiga tion which is pending. As a preliminary move agents of tlie Pittsburgh parties interested in the road have been in the city probing the pockets of wealthy men to ascertain how much new capital could be induced to take Mock sxnd bunds of the new company. The old list of stockholders included a number of gentlemen very closely identified with tlie Reading Railroad, and these men. with one excepthm, have been rather indifferent to the movement which has been on foot for a year to push tlie work of censtroctioa. It seems lo be the pof'T of the Reading mana gers to take uo part in pushing the work, but when it b coruj.kted they will doubtless be willing 10 make traffic agreements which will be mutually ft '-ifi'ur-iriH PlWaalal plnu Tnwea.

Th Lairgeat Keating of th Kind The first grand rally of the Republicans of Somerset county on Tuesday e' ecing of last week was a splendid success and was most gratifying to the friends of Rapabliranboi. It presages an earnest fight ail along the line and a full rote fur Harrison, MorUin sod the entire Republican ticket on the 6th 1 No vember next Long before the time announced for the opening of the meetitig. people began to gu.h- er in the court room and when the time had arrivnl the mom waa nu-knl inc'o.l- arrttea toe room waa oenseiy paiKeU. inc.ua- ittg aisles and gallery, every inch of standing room being occupied. Many were unable to gain admission and had to turn away. Ha l the room been again as large it would not have more titan accommodated the crowd who were anxious to hear tlie distinguished speakers. In point of numbers and enthusiasm it was the greatest pol.tBral gathering that has been held in Somerset for many years. The venerable sj.jui.-e slick, who acted aa one of tlie vice presidents, and who voted for old Tippecan.ie iu '40. said that he had attended almost every political meeting that had been held in Somerset from the time of that fa mous campaign down to the present day, and that the meeting of Tuesday evening was the best meeting he ever attended in Somerset. No less than four of the officers of the meet ing voted fir "old Tip" in 1W. while among the audience were from thirty 10 forty veter ans of that campaign, and they will all vote for young Tippecanoe and Morton, too, in lfWS. The Mil ford mounted Harrison and Mor I Ion club, numbering some sixty members. in handsome uui forms and with an excellent band of musk' at their head, came into town early in the evening. B-.-fore the meeting. they formed in line on Main street, opposite j the Somerset House, and with the Lavans- j ville band and a large delegation ot Somerset 1 Republicans aa an escort, marched to the 1 Court House. After the meeting was over j Jacob was five years old, his parents remov they had a torch light procession through ' ,J to Allegheny City, where he attended the the principal streets of the town. public schools of that day until his for.r- tub B iAvizTio!. iteenthyear.

As soon as the organization had iecn com pleted. Chairman Shater, in a brief bat neat speech. intriMlutsjd to the audience c.trr. si. 11. Kt iiv, as the first speaker of the evening. Captain Kuhn is a native of Somerset county, and before the war a. id at its outbreak, was a res- ident of ;he town of Somerset. He was one j of the first Somerset boys to respond to President Lincoln , call ,r troo,is. and was a number of the famous Comi,y - A. j When tlie gallant luptain stej.eij lorwara he was greeted with a hearty round of ap- planse. After a few introductory remarks lie took up the tariff question ami in the hour and more that he devoted to the sub ject his large audience gave tini the closest attention, frequently manifesting their ap proval by bnrsts of applause. The Captain has made a careful study of the tariir qu es tion. His comparison of the Mills hill with the present tariir, and his dean-cut, forcible way of putting his argumen's, demonstrated that he was fully capible of ha.idling tha subject, and in a most interesting and intel ligent manner. His address was full of good, solid matter, and he gave his hearers many things to take home with them to think and ponder over. At the close of Captain Kohn's remarks the Lavatisville. band rendered one of its nnist popular airs, at the conclusion of which Hon. James L. I'ugh introduced a man whose name is a household word in Somer set county h-m.w. and who would need no introduction to any Pennsylvania audience, or to a meeting of Republican voters any where, no., jobs i t-"si, of Bedford. When Ihe obi stalwart warrior and veteran campvgner came forwanl. the cheering and applause was sogreat that it was some minutes liefore his voice could be heard. It has been some years since a Som erset county audience has had an opportuni ty of bearing tlieir "' Uncle John " make a political speech, and that they fully appreci ated his kindness in coming at this time to address them, was clearly evinced by the en thusiastic reception accorded him. He said that he had no preiared speech ; that he would not attempt to make a connected ar gument, but that be would endeavor tn in telligently disenss some of the great issues of the present contest in the twenty or thir ty minutes that he would speak. He spoke slowly snd deliberately for a few moments, when all tlie old-time ardor snd energy of the great debater saerue d lo return, and he went at bis subject with that fire and vigor so characteristic of him, snd that so delight- j ed bbj audiences in the famous meetings which he addressed here in the great polili- j cal contests shortly after the chee of the war. He handle. 1 our friends, the enemy " without gloves, and that the audience was earnestly in sympathy with the speaker, was shown by the frequency and heartiness of tiie applause as be put in his sledge-hammer blow. Mr. Cessna spoke for one hour, and wlieu hecloeed the vast audience anise to a man and gave him three hearty cheers. It was one of the greatest political speeches ever delivered in Somerset. Although it was after 10 o'clock when Mr. Cessna finish ed speaking the audience was not satisfied, but like poor Oliver, cried for tnore. They had come together to have an old-time Re puUican rally, and they were determined to bare it. Chairman Shafer railed upon Hon. A. J. Coibnrn wbo responded in a thirty minute's speech, which waa ronudly applauded. The crowd tlien called Eooser! Kooser !" Mr. Kooser had withdrawn to the enmmitte rami, and owing to the lateness of the hour he at first declined to speak, but the loud and persistent calling of his name finally brought him to the platform, where heniatle a twenty-minate speech, in which be paid bis respects to the speakers of Monday night's meeting, ami made some telling bits at their ex pence, pointing out many of their inaccu racies ot statement, ana uuaoes ot argu-j menu The committee on resoiutioos, through their Chairman, Mr. CritchSehL tlsrn report ed the sallowing resolutions, which were adopted, aAer which the ateeuug adjourned with three hearty cheers for Hsrrison, Mor ton and the entire Rejxiblican ticket.

THE UNTERRIFIED MEET, H0S. H. fVW BiajWis His F(s3-HokN AMI I'ITtR MEYERS TALKFRKK TRADK. A LABbl Btrrrtc, i vxbt I ut srxettu. The campaign on the part of the Democra cy of Somerset County waa opened, by a mas meeting in the Court House Monday evening of but week. For weeks past the Chairman of the Democratic Committee bad been advertising "two able and eloquent speakers will be present and discuss the burning issues of the campaign."" Many of the Republicans of the town, together with their friends from the country who were ia attendance at court, concluded that they would like to hear the " burning issues'' dis cussed from a Democratic standpoint, i.i at tended the meeting. When Chairman Chi arose to call the assemblage to order he found the house comfortably filled an un nsual thing at a Democratic meeting in Som erset fully one-half the audience being He publicans. Mr. Till named Peter S. H.iy. of Salisbury, as president of the meeting, with the usual complement of vice presidents and secretaries. As soon as the organization waa fully completed, tien. A. H. Coifmth stejs ped forward and announced that a large del egation was expected from the south of the countv on a su-ciai train, and that whue he regretted having to open the meeting before this large snd anxiously looked-for delega tion arrived, he had no doubt that they would put in an appearance before the close of the meeting. He then "took great pleas ure In inlniducing to the audience that dis- tingtiislied lawyer, able speaker, and elo quent orator, Hon. John If... Fow. of Phila delphia." When the Hon. John came forwanl a great many of his auditors exchanged smiles and knowing winks with each other, as they recognized in the able speaker "old fog-horn Fow, whohas been kntK-king amund the in every political campaign that has Stale taken place for years past. The Philadelphia statesman had only blown his Sig-boru for a few minutes when be was interrupted by a great noise on the street, and by some one rushing into the court-room, exclaiming, niaae room for the delegaiioii from the south." Si-akin! for the time-being was susjvnded, and benches and chairs were hastily carried in to seat the delegation so anxiously expected. and whose absence Uen. Coffroth bad so greatly reirretled. From the loud cheers' for Harrison and Morton that were heard from the outside, many c' tlie audience were con- siderably in doubt as to the political com- plexion ot the appniaching delegation, but finally, when the Meyersilalc baud came marching in, softly playing. "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," followed by uliut two d"z- j en smooth-faced young boys in handsome' uniforms, and bearing torches, all doubt as to iu being a Democratic delegation were set at rest. After the new-comers had been seated, the Hon. John once more blew his born. Alter attempting to demonstrate that the Republi can victories in the recent elections held in Oregon, Vermont, and Maine, were really Republican reverses, he turned in and heap- ! i ... 0 1.1; ed abuse on the Republican presidential candidate, and the leaders of the G. O. P. generally. At the mention ot Blaine's name, whom he denominated the " Fncrowned Re- publican King," the audience, as we said be- fore, beimr larelv omtHised of Republican, sent utiacheertiiat:airlv shook the building. The sp"jntaneou3 outburst at the mention of Blaine's name somewhat confused thesjie - ak - er but. gathering himself together he launch - 1 off ie.toa ilL-i'tission of the Mills bill, and thetari!r4itestiou it. general. He flounder- e.1 around i'..r ouite awhile, trving to frove that the Mills bid was not a direct blow at American manufacture and American in- Uustnes, but was aitogellier in me. interest 01 the American laborer. He said that the pat- ent on Bessemer sttsl rails is owned bv ai small syndicate of mill owners, and made so many other glaring and inaccurate state- menu in regard to the tanlf on wool, jui- nine, etc, that he got to be uite amusing, His closing remarks were devoted lo show ing that the Democratic party had crushed the rebellion.

Cutfrotli again arose and introduced another " able steaker, etc.," in the person of Hon. II. F. Meyers, formerly of Somerset, but now of Harrisburg. Mr. Meyers spoke fir about an hour and a half, mainly on the tar-it! ques tion. The lion. B. F. is a fiue-looWiiig. scholarly gentleman, who during the war edited a Democratic paper iu rSoltord, ex tracts fnjni the hies of which make mighty interesting reading now, but he is not an able speaker.' Older other circumstan ces, if his audience had not been previously alllicted with such a tremendous dose from the "ffg horn," they might have listened to him more patiently, but as it was they at first grew restive, then commenced to quiet ly ass out, while many of those who re mained dropped asleep. Mr. Meyers sai.i that he had almost mode up his mind to never again make a political speech ill Som erset coumy ; that he had about concluded t-iat Somerset people, iiae Kphraim of oid. were joined to their idols, and that lie had concluded to give litem over to perversity of spirit and hardness of heart, but had final ly ISJSen persuaded to make one more at- tempt. His bearers wonld probably nave been as well satisfied if be had stuck to his original intention. At the close of M r. Meyers' tiresome re marks, Oener.il Coffroth once more arose and introduced another " able speaker, etc.." Thomas II. (irevy, the Itemocratic nominee iu this district for Congress. Mr. Greevy slated that he did cot expect to be elected, hut wanted to run his full party vote. ily this time the audieixx hail mostly left the court-room, or gone to sleep, and the quiet that prevailed when Mr, tireevy sal down was only Lrokeu by the snores of sev eral tloaen of the " untcrrified who were stretched on the benches in the rear of the room. The speakers and leaders shook hands with one another, while the je.nuurs of the building passed around the room and stir red up the sleeping " mueohacks" with tiieir long poles, telling them that the ojiening meeting ol the Ileniocrat ic campaign was over, and that lodgings could be secured st the hotels and boaniing houses.
