Ox Tuesday, July 2nd, James It. Sard-Id, Jr., was nominated for Suite Scnarr by the Republicans of the Mentor, Ohio, district. His illustrious father liegan his career as State Sena tor, and Tuesday was the fourteenth anniversary of the day on which he fell a victim to the assassin's bullet. Hkriskrt Si'EXfER has lieen defin ing his xsition again on the private ownership of land, which he holds is indefensible in theory and impregnable in fact. "The burden of compensa tion." he says, "would outweigh the benefit of ssession." It is settled that the philosopher was not cut out for a Populist. . Iokd Om.K Jist.ci: Hi'ssei.i., of England, has gone liack to the old cus tom of "riding circuit" on horseback from one assize town to another. How would it do for those of the quarter sessions and common pleas judges of Pennsylvania who have two or three oounties in their districts, to go back to the old sulky times? A fatal tornado swept over a large portion of Kansas and Missouri last Thursday, killing forty-three persons and doing iuca'.culahle damage to property. Fields f.f grain that prom ised the most lountifuI yield in many years, we;V swept bare of vegetation. The suffering of the people in the track of the storm is said to le indeseril-able. N e.vt week one of the largest relig ious gatherings that has ever lieen known in this country will lie held at lloston. It is the annual convention of the Christian Endeavor societies, comprising over .V,0in delegates and representing a total mcmU-rship of o ."iiM,Ki. The growth of these organ-iz-ations is one of the wonders of the Ieriod, and their influence is second to that of no other religious agency. Ooverxok Hastix;s has vetoed the vicious electric light bills, which vir tually gave existing electric light com panies in every town and city in the State an exclusive franchise, and pre vented niunicijud corporations from creeling plants of their own unless they purchase existing ones, not at their actual value, but at their earning rapacity. The Oovenior savs: "I am of the opinion that the furnishing of light, at least for municipal purjKVies, is a proj t function of the municipality as such and that it should in no wise -abridg ed by legislation. To permit this bill to lieeome a law might, and in all prol- ability would, in many instances, re iuire the teople of the municipality, by taxation, to pay for what they did not want and could not use, for the sole U-nefit, not of the public, but of the Kiot-kholders of the electric light com pany. The proper lighting of the K'.n-ets of a borough or city is necessary police regulation, as well as highly conducive to public conveii ienv and the comforts of the citizen. Such legislation is contrary to public poli.-y and inimical to the public good, and cannot meet with my approval. In vetoing the second bill, the (tov- ernoraid: "The effect of this bill would be to prevent the inenrjtoration of any company fur the supply of light, heat and power, or any of them, by electricity, in the borough, town, city or district where it may lie located, if the- streets in such thorough, town, city or district are already occupied by a line of p!ics, wires or conduits for the distribution or supplying light, neat or K)wer, laiu, constructed or maintained, or authorized by niuniei pal authority to lie laid, constructed or maintained under any existing charter. 1 11 other words, it excludes all compe tition with companies already occupy ing streets by the organization of new companies for a like purpose. 1 1 gives to existing companies exclusive right in the strceU occupied by them, and is cjntrary to the plainest dictates of puli- 11c Mtlicy. "Should this bill U-come a law, and th; municipality were to advertise for bids tor the lighting of iu streets and public buildings, all competition would le excluded and the municipality would le obliged to accept the light at the price fixed by the eorjKration in -rtsessiou of the fctrei-U or itself estab lish an electric plant to compete with the corporation in powwMsion. I lie lieve it to be in the public interest that competition should U unrestrained by legislation. Monopoly in ho important a matter as light should certainly not receive executive sanction." The Governor has also vetoed the Wood's water bi 1, under which munic'palitics wen; required to buy existing plants before erecting new iiiea. HISTORICAL ADDRESS. By George F. Bwr, Eq. Mr. Hacr, after congratulating the county on the success 01 me ceim-mo.... proceeded to state some fails cutinecteu with our history. His speech was not written, but at our request he has written out some of the principal historical facts referred to by him: There are 110 mounds, monuments or marks of any kind to indicate that this section of the SUte was inhabited, prior to its occupation by the Indians. The Indian tribes, known as the Shawnee and IMawares, wen prolMy the first occupants. They were not part of the confederacy know n as the Mx Nations. The IK-Iaware were conquered ly the Six Nations; after they sold their lauds to the Fenns, they moved westward across the Susquehanna. The Shawnees came from the South. They were in con stant eoniiict with the Spanish settlers. In 1701 they were admitted into Pennsyl vania by a treaty with the Six Nations aud approved by the Penns. In I'll, at the great council iu Philadelphia, tanas- atego, who spoke for the Indians, com plained that settlements were being ir.ado ou lands not sold by the Indians, on the Juniata and west of it, that they, the Six Nations, had assigned these lands for hunting grounds to their cousins, the Delaware and their brothers, the Shau nees, and that they, the Six Nations sometimes hunted there. The rejxirts of Indian traders and old maps locate three Shawnees towns in this section, one ten luili-s north east of Cumlierland, another near Bedford, and a third at the forks of the iticuiahoning, (near Morgan's Mills). Lieut. rmc, in his report and map of the Uraddot k campaign, locates a squaw fort (near Petersburg). Memeeolin, who marked (in 1T4!) the Indian trail from the mouth of Wills creek to the Monon gahela, was a Delaware Indian living in this county. There are mauy other faeU connected with Indian negotiations to show that the Delawarea A Shawnees were the Indians living in this section. With the exception of sporadic visits of traders, there were no white men iu this section prior to the construction of the military roads. Pending the settle ment of the controversy lietween Ird Baltimore and the Penns as to the own ership of this part of Pennsylvania, the King by proclamation (17iS) had prohilj iled the respective governments of Penn sylvania and Maryland from making grants of the lands in controversy, "anil any jktsoii to settle theiu or attempt to make a settlement." This prohibition lasted until 17f, when the King approv ed of the division line known as Mason V Dixon's lino. Here let me pause to say that the final decision hereby this coun ty lieeauie part of Pennsylvania was of vast iniortanee to each one of us, and is one of the many things for which you should rejoice and give thanks in this celebration of your first centennial. I mean no disrespe-t to our sister Slate of Maryland when I say that the destiny of the people who settled these hills and valleys, and the welfare of the thousands who shall hereafter live among them will lest Ikj -worked out in the grander citizenship which the Common wealth of Pennsylvania has created. I know not what our destiny might have been if Mason A Dixon's line had thrown this territory to Maryland. Her history, policy and traditions are so dissimilar to our own. You may search the inhabited world, but sure I am that now here can lie found a State comparable to Pennsylvania. Her history, her policy, her toleration, hr admirable government, have devel oped the strongest, the most conservative, level-headed, iod-faring, liberty-loving men that now dwell upon the earth. Her wealth in citizenship is only equaled by the wealth of her mines, the fertility of her soil and the health of her clitunta. Her progress and achievements are as s did and sulxtantial as these everlasting hills. Messed is the man who either from birth-right or choice can proudly say: "I am a Pennsylvania!!!' This part of the State could not legally be settled until the opening of the laud office (4th April 17i2). By the treaty and deed of release made lietween the Penns and the Indians at Easton, 17.". the Penns released ail claim to the lands west of the Allegheny. Mws were passed mak ing it a eriui punishable by death to set tle or attempt to settle them. Excep tions were made in favor of ai-tual settle ments made prior thereto along the mili tary roads. The first aoeu rate knowledge we have of this county is derived from ac: units of the Ohio Eand Company and Wash ington's reports and diary. The hio Iand Company obtained a grant from the crovn for lauds ltctwecn the Monongahela t Kanawa In 17!l. The iist settlement in Fayette was made in the interest of this company. Wash ton's two brothers were among th9 origi nal grantee. To reach their lauds, they employed Memeeolin, the Delaware In dian, to mark the trail the Indians used to go from their town on the Wills creek to the Ohio. This was in 17D-.VX The route he marked was prac-:i-.dly what is now known as the Hraddock route. It is referred to in the colonial records as Memecoliu's road, Washington's road and l!raJd---k"s roa-L It enlers U19 e unity ue:ir the "Little Crossing ot the Yough," now known as Cisselmr.Ti's river, near ( 'raiitsville. passe through the "Shades of Death" t.) a p int a little above th present bridge over Yoiighiogheny ::t Souicrfield. This crossing is known as tiie ireal Crossing." WASHIX1.T0X IX SOMKRSKT CorXTV. Washington passed over this road go ing and coming nine time. He passed over the Forbes road (Stoystowu) going and coming to Fort D.l piesne; so he was re-re eleven times. As every sp t he trol in the discharge of duty, leeome for all time sacred soil to every son of lilH-rty, let me renin tit his trips: 1. 17.V. Nov. 4th. Washington left mouth f Will's creek; followed Meino- colin's path to the Monongahela. This was when he carried the order from the British Crown to the French Command er to relinquish claim to and settlement of lands now western Pennsylvania aud Ohio. In Iecem!er or the same year he re turned by the same route, i 1751. Campaign, resulting in hi defeat aud surrender at ireat Meadows, in Fayette -ounty. in this campaign he employed ft) men to construct the road from Will's creek to the flreat Crossing aJiove the TurkeyfooL He left Will's creek 2th April; reached Citsselman river(Littie Crossing )!th May; proceeded to treat Crossing of the lougiitogneny trvnnerlieiu ). Ik-lore pro ceeding farther, he left his troops at the tJreat Crossing.and with a lieutenant three soldiers and an Indian guide, took a ca noe and rowed down the Yoiighiogheny until he struck the rapids and falls. Finding it impra-ticahle to transMrt his troops iiy water, lie returned ana Isult a bridge over the Youghioghenv. After his defeat at the reat Meadows he re turned to Will's creek by same route. 3. 17.W. Uraddock campaign. The co lonial record contain frequent referen ces to "the completion of the road to the iranehesof the Youghegheny, railed the Turkeyfoot, where they are to cross,' I'raddock calls this point the'Vrow's foot," others call it "the three forks." Urad dock "s army crossed Cassel man's river !. June, IT.Vi, camped at the fSreat Crossing (Somcrficld) on the 2kl June. Here "Washington was taken sick, and com pelled to remain by the peremptory order of lien. Braddock, who left him in charge of Dr. Craig. He was sick until 3d July. On the 4th July, 17., 140 years ago, he left to join Itraddock's army. Barely able to sit in his saddle he participated in the Imttle of the !Hh, know n as Rrad-d'H-k's defeat Think of the illustrious Washington lying sick on the banks of your ow n Yoiighiogheny for teu days and thank a kind providence that the health giving air of your mountains was a factor to preserve his life to become for all time the hero of lilrty and the father of this great country. Washington returned by same route. 4. 17."S. Passed through Stoyestown over the Forties nstd to Fort Duqu'esne and returned with his army by same route, 5. 1770. Washington visited the Ohio Company lands, in which ho was inter ested. This was the visit when the In dian chief told him he had a charmed life, that at the Braddock fight he bad shot at him with clear sight several times and each time missed. On this visit he traveled over his old road from Cumlierland through your county, going and coining. fi. 17M This is from Washington's di ary : Sept. 10, 174. Ieft Fort Cumlierland ; dined at Mr. (tw in's at the fork of the roads leading to Winchester aud the old Town, distant from latter aliout 'JO miles, and lodged at Tuniberson's, at the Little Meadows, 15 miles further. Sept. 11. Set out at half after 5 o'clock from Tuinbcrson's, and in aliout 11 miles came to what is called the little cross ing of the Yohiogany. Breakfasted at one Mount's, or Mountain's, II miles from Tumlierson's, the road ls.'ing ex ceedingly bad, especially through what is called the "Shades or Death." Bait ed at the great crossing of the Yohio gany river, on Braddock's road (now Somerfield) w hich is a large water, dis tant from Mount's 9 miles, and a better road than !etw een that and Tuniberson's. Washington did not return by the same road. " I have iu the course of general reading gathered many facts relating to your his tory, but I must content myself with one more, which suggests itself by my dis tinguished friend's reference in his ad mirable address to the (crmanic race. One of the early references to the set tlement of this county is found in the colonial records (voL 10, p. 8). "The Ger mans settled at the (.'lades upon Stony creek and Yoiighiogheny petitioned for a magistrate, stating in their petition that none lived w ithin thirty miles of them; " thereujxui the t iovernor, oil the !rd of Nov., 1771, apolnted Mr. Abraham Keble, He lived on Tub Mill run, in Elklick township. This I ascertained from old papers of Mr. H. I Holbrook, now dead, but so long one of your best citizens. Here Mr. Itaer descrilied the part the Pennsylvania Germans, aided by the Scotch-Irish, took in the overthrow of the Government of Pennsylvania, where by alone the vote of Pennsylvania was secured in favor of the Iieclaration of In dependem-e. He sjMikeof the high char acter of the inhabitants of these moun tain plains. They were men of sount minds strong bodies and independent spirits, such as we always expect to tin on the high places of the earth. There is something inviting and inspir ing about mountains. Their breath gives strength to the soul and is food for the ldy. In turn, they are sublime an awful. From the lieginnlng of time they have Iiciji the consecrated shrines of re ligion aud liliertv. We climb their sides to lie exhilarated on their tops, and from their summits view new worlds of beau ty beneath our feet. hen liathea in sunshine or clothed in shadow by passing clouds, they awaken our admiration. In lightning, tempest and storm they arouse our terror. In reverence and fesir, prim itive man built his altars upon their tops. Thecultnred Greeks made high olym pus the very seat of the gods themselves, and the son of Amoz, with ecstatic vision revealing the secrets of the Almighty, proclaims: "It shall come to pass on the last day that the mountain of the lord's house shall lie established on the top of the mountains!" Happy are ye dwellers of the mountains! Happy are ye who have Somerset county for your home. Pennsylvania for your State, and the I'nited States for vour Nation !

Aliout a week le fore the deceased had fallen from the hay mow to the threashing platform in his liarn and sustained an ugly bruise on his right arm. Although the injury w as very painful at it was not looked upon as be ing serious until last Wednesday when Dr. W. 1$. Low-man, of Johnstown, was called in for consultation. It was agreed that the patient was suf fering from gangrene and that the only hope of saving his life lay in am putating his arm, and Dr. Lowinan direi-tcd that he lo removed to the Me morial Hospital at Johnstown as soon as possible.

After many years Indiana county is once more wet in other words license to sell liquor has leen granted to three ho tel men in Indiana town. Ten years ago, w hen Judge White went on the liench, he shut down on all licenses, and up to yesterday he steadfastly refused to give anvlssly permission to sell liquor. To the lucky hotel men who su-ceeded in gotting license Judge White gave some rather plaiu talk. He told them that they must not open before eight o'clock in the morning and that they must close at nine o'clock at night anil he will ap point a man to see that his orders are carried out But after all, was Iudiana a dry county? Was it not all a sham and farce? During the contest for the judge ship in that county we read daily the tes timony of witnesses that they had licen ottered whisky or licer to vote for or use their influence for one or the other of the candidates for judge, and during the time the sills were open w hisky and beer flowed like water, and anyliody who wanted a drink could get it And the worst of it was that the candidates for judge furnished the money to buy the rum, as was testified to by the witnesses. It was hard to understand how the Court could refuse grant to licenses under the evidence that came out 011 that trial. It only pies to prove that prohibition, even by the Court, does not prohibit, and that a man who wants whisky can get whisky, despite all olistaeles. Hurrah for the Fourth.

The Govern r i-p proved the bill and signed it with a flour ish. In vetoing the tuay county bill hesays that after full consideration he has reach ed the conclusion that there is no n-essi-ty for the legislation and to permit the bill to Ix-coine a law would be oppressive to the tax payers of the proposed new eounty. Those who would be called up on to pay the taxes, the governor says are almost unanimously opposed to the measure. The Governor also approved the bill providing for the permanent improve ment of certain public roads or highways in the several counties, making such im proved roads and highways and author izing .hehs-atioii, opening, straightening, widening, extension and alteration of the same, aud the vacation of so much of any road as may thereby lieeome unnecessary, authorizing the taxing of property for such improvement, and providing for the compensation therefor and the damages resulting from such biking; providing for the payment of the costs and ex'ienscs incurred in making such improvements and thereafter repairing and maintaining said roads, and authorizing the levy of a tax to provide a fund for said purposes. For the establishment of free public libraries in the several school distrii-ts of the commonwealth except in cities of the first anil second class.

Mr. Ira Miller, living about a mile and a half east or Roxhury, on the Bedford an 1 Somerset pike, made a find one day last week that would have proved valua ble had the find lieen of genuine material. Mr. Miller was clearing oil' a piece of ground for a cucumber patch and had piled a lot of brush against a stump and set it on fire. In scratching almut tho ashes afterward he struck a nest of spu rious gold coins of the denomination of ft. There were forty coins, all bearing the date 114. The tarnished appearance of the coins indicated that it was many years since they were buried at the root of the tree which stood where they were found. A little bit of rubbing sulhced to brighten them up and give tlkcm the ap- pcarauce of the genuine coin, perfect enough in their imitation to deceive any but an expert Some of the coins were taken to Philson's bank for examination, where they were pronounced spurious.
