AND THOSE TWINGES MAY TttiST VOU LEO OUT OF SHAPE. Succored by Gen. Harrison. S. B. Boltoruton, who died at Shelby ville, Ind., WedueHdiy night, was a sol dier iu the Seventieth Indiana, Cieueral Harrison's regiment. One day when the army was on a forced march from Dalton to lUesca, Mr. lUjbertson fell by the way side ou aerouot of wounds and sickness. The march was a tiard one, no person having the time to stop and care for a lone comrade. After lieiug alone for some time a horseman came galloping along, and seeing a private in a ditch with his kunpack on and his gun by his side, be stopped aud got oil' his horse to see what he could do for th sutTerer. The pros trate form had but little life remaining, but the olticer gave him a drink, poured but in in his wounds, bound them up, and, assisting him on the horse, walked and carried the guu arid knapsack. The rider was General Penjamin Harrison. When Harrison visited Shelbyville in lTii Mr. Ujbcrtson erected a triumphal arch across the street. Iu the middle of the arch was perched Mr. BobcrtMoti's daugh ter, who showered ruses on (Jen. Harri son as he passed beneath her. A Eecord of Crime. Statistics compiled by the lioard of charities show that from 177S to 1S.W, in clusive, ' persons were hanged in Pennsylvania. Of these suffered the penalty of death for high treason, 8 for roblx-ry, 1-1 for burglary, 3 for assault, 1 for arson, 4 for counterfeiting and 7 for unknown offenses. On April i. 17m, the death penalty was alolihed except for murder of the first degree. The- greatest number of persons hanged in any year was in 1S77, when hi were executed, in eluding six Mollie Muguire in Schuyl kill county and four in Carlton. The past 20 years the nuinlier of executions of murderers in the state reached Hi Of these Si expiated their rrimen on the gallows in l-77. ls7S ami 1"7!.

During the past two weeks "The Phil adelphia Presa" haii given a striking ob ject lesson of what the public may expect from a great national newspaper. Al though opposed to the principles which Candidate Bryan represents, "The Press" is the only newspaper published In Pennsylvania which has printed ver batim reports of all the candidates' speeches. The ai-hieveineiit was accom plished by the addition .f columns and pages to its space, so that, with what all the candidates hae had to say, "The Press' has given, from day to day, all the other news of the world in the com plete form for which it is f.mious. This jKlicy, "The Press" announces, will le continued. The campaign has already become the most remarkable In the history of the nation. The full and fair reorts of "The Philadelphia Press" will be among iu chief incidents. Sherman's Fin Points. There are two beautiful KinU in Sher man's speech that ought to l kept before tlie people. One is that Thomas Jefferson was guilty of the crime of the century in ordering as he did in 1SJ the discontinu ance of the coinage of silver dollars, his order remaining in force for . years, all through tho most celebrated liemocratic administrations of Mouroeand Madison sndAcurrw ju kmiii. it silver was so holy a metal for the people, why did not Jackkou order dollars to be coined and kiuash the banks with them? Sherman gives names and dates and words and votes, showing the silver states' senators and representatives were for the awful centennial crime of 1S73 and Sherman voted against the obnoxious regulation. Itrooklyn Standard-I'n ion. Fleatr of Squirrels. The squirrel season in this State open ed yesterday. Reports from the sur rounding districts are to the etrei-t that the lively little loi g tailed animals w ill be very nuuieroua this year. A promi nent local hunter said yesterday that every person from the country he hiia met informed him that youi:g siiirrels are more plentiful this season than for years. ne reason for the increase this year is due to the fact that uiast is more atun dant this teascn than for the past 'JO years. The oak tree are well supplied with acorns aud there are no trees r bushe thnl liear fruit that are not loaded down. This Is a great attraction for squirrels and it is known I hut the ani mals migrate from one part of the coun try to the other. In some n.ai.ncr or an other the little animals use a sort of tele phonic communication lictwceu each other. If the nuts and acorns are not plentiful iu the secti-m inhabited, the squirrels hnve been known to swim rivers, rnn fem-es and in different ways travel to the land of aluindauce. It is ex peeted that quite a numlier of foreign squirrels will find their way to Western Pennsylvania this year, and the shooters will have a better season than they have had for many years.
