That they would he deeply imbued with the hereby i of Free Silver, and that the reulus every - ! where would show this to s so. That there are spots here and there in j the county where a considerable number of this class did give early evidence of absorbing this delusive doctrine is prob ably true.

This Will be Kewj to Somerset County People. The following fanciful story appeared in Friday's Pittsburg Commercial (is- zette under a Greensburg date line. On Laurel Hill mountains about six miles from Mechauicsburg, and a like distance from what is known as Beam's church, in Somerset county, is the well known "hucklelierry Hat." On the east ern side of the flat is a ledge of rocks be low which is a steep descent of the moun tain. Here one may hear the hideous howls at any hour of the night or see hundreds of trails they have left in the snow during the winter. These wolves are becoming an awful plague to the citi zens of the mountain surrounding their den. Xot more than ten days ago a spring calf belonging to Jacob A. Miller, an old resident of that section, was en tirely eaten up in a single night. On the illowing morning one of the howlers was still gnawing at a bone and upon the approach of Mr. Miller it made a leap of about 20 feet and in a moment was out of sight. Rev. Joseph M. Beam who lives on the top of Laurel Hill has beon all oyed by wolves during the last year un til he has practically given up the notion of keeping sheep, or attempting to raise pigs. Oue day last week a pack of them chased a large Jeer out of the mountain own into Somerset county about four miles. The settlers were very much sur prised upon seeing the hungry visitors in rapid pursuit of their prey. All tho niiuals escaped "oack to the mountains. Some years have elapsed since a wolf was killed. X-jih Baker of near Edie, Somerset county, shot one which was considered a mere accident, not because Mr. I5.;Uer is no marksman, Imt because t is an awful task to get withoi range of him cf :he:n.

It is easily seen how de structive these wolves are to game and domestic an i in lis.

The Ex-President Civrt Zhem Borne Practi cal Advice. Ex-President Harrison addressed the Xational Farmers' Congress at Indianap olis last Thursday. ipcniug with an ev ident reference to the recent campaign, in which he sjoke of his dislike for men who were continually "beating the air," he continued : 1 "Wheu any men engaged in a particu ler calling, from high motives, associate themselves together and pursue those high motives in their association, only good can result. But we should not le selfish in our puroses. I think I may say that if we were alisolutely selfish in our purposes and thought only of our own good, tho good of the class and of the individual of the class, we should find that good most highly promoted by taking a broad view of things and by ad milling to our deliberations the thought that it is not possible for one class to be highly prosperous while all other classes are suffering; that there is an interde pendence iu all our business and social relations, aud that this is highly develop- eliua free government like ours. Iu other words, in a broad sense, we pros per together, and we suffer together; we are interdependent. I think sometimes the conceit of the farmer has beeu unduly promoted, when it has been said that he is at the bottom of everything, and that he belongs to au independent class; that cities are not of much account an(l that farms are Ood's work, and enduring. What would the farm le without the town, aud what would the town Is) with out the farm? These cities furnish the population that consume the products of the farm, and the farm furnishes the sub sistence of the city. As I heard a friend say the other day: 'It is the city for the country, and the country for the city, aud all for the flag.' If there are abuses of any kind in leg islation or in the business of the country, let us fix the public eye upon them uutil we have exposed the evil, and then we can trust the country to make it right. It is mischievous to denounce classes, and this thing and that. If there are trusts, let us known it, aud bring legislation to bear upon them, and court decrees to bear upon them, and then we have accomplished something. If any man will make it plain to the American people that he is oppressed, that he is not getting his rights, then I undertrke to say to you that the American people will be on his side, against whatever may op press him. My thought is, if you think there are wrongs and grievances in the business condition or in the legislation, hunt them out anil secify them, hold them up to the public judgment and have faith in your fellow man. For I say to you that the great lmdy of the people, an overwhelming majority, are in favor always of justice and fairness, and if you make that appeal to them they will re spond. I have rejoi.-cd in all that has tended to make agriculture easier, to give leisure for thought aud reading, for the cultiva tion of the intellect. I rejoice that the school house and the little church are found iu every country neighliorhood. I re joice in the lielief that our people are patriotic and that never before in the history of our country was there a deeper and more universal love of the Starry Banner and the Constitution for which it stands." A memorial to Congress was adopted. It asks Congress to see to it that no trusts are organized that can extort exorbitant prices for farm products, and favors the protective tariff policy. Dr. Sal in advises us that he will not lie able to lie in Somer st t on his regular advertised date Xov. 27th, owing to a suit lie has with a railroad company which has luen set for trial that week. He will be here, however, on the next advertised date, when he will lie pleased to meet his patients. ariic op the olo PiPTT-racaiH. fr : A Veteran He-Enlists. Our old friend and veteran soldier, Abraham Zimmerman, of (iieinalioni:ig township, concluded lw would re-enter the matrimonial ranks for the balam-e of the campaign, and accordingly, with Susan Buhel as a tile-mate, he was, on O.-toIier 22d, IStitJ, regularly mastered in by Rev. Long, at Bottsville, near Wea ver's Mill, Westmoreland county. Mrs, Buhel was the wife of Rev. Buhel, of the V. B. Church, who died iu Somerset a few years ago. Mr. Zimmerman was a gallant soldier of the Cist Pa. Vol., and we hope he and his newly made wife may not be mustered out of tho service for many years to route.

E Cram Picksd Up la V. est Virginia. The following interesting communica tion, from Charles I. Scnciudiver, of Port Royal, Va., was published In the Philadelphia Rei-ord yesterday: "I wish to inform you of the fact that I have found, upon the Iwnks of the Opequon, in the State of West Virginia, a silver badge containing the name of J. 1C Cram, Company I, Fifty-fourth Penn sylvania Volunteers. Tho badge is as bright as it prolaibly was on tho day it was lost. It is in the shape of a heart aud fashioned like a breastpin. If you publish this it may be the means of my finding the owner." Company I was one of the companies of the Fifty-fourth recruited from Cam bria County. The Regiment was com mandexl by the late Jacob M. Campbell, of this city, and was engaged near the Opequon in September, l.vt. William B. Bonacker, now residing in Florida, was Captain of Company I. John K. Crum was one of three Crams who enlisted in the Company, from alx.ut Suinmerhill, the other two lieing Austin aud Nathaniel, both of whom, according to the records, wereaftcrward transferred to Company C, in the same Regiment. After the war he returned to his home, where he died alxmt ten years ago. There seems to bt no question that this was the man whose badge has beeu found aud his surviving relatives can doubtless secure the memento by writing to Mr. Scnciudiver, at Port Royal, Va., and stating their claims to it.

Pahkrii A Parkkr. When Ii Was Punished. London, Xov. IL Two or three ver sions reached F.urope this week of tho cause of Li Hung Chang's recent punish ment upon his returu to the Flowery Kingdom. The most authentic is that when Li was in F.urope be remarked to two Mandarins who were with him that the ceremony of Tzotan was decidedly antiquated, and it would be better if the Chinese did homage to the Kmperor af ter the Kuropean fish ion. The Tzotan ceremony requires that Ministers or high officials salute the Kmperor by bumping the floor nine times with their foreheads. This opinion reached the cars of the Chinese Kmperor a few days after Li's return, and he was so indignant that he was at first inclined to deprive Id of all office aud honors. , The Kmperor and his advisors received Li's report of his tour in a few days, and they accused him of making engagements and promises beyond his authorization. It was for this, it is reported, thai he was deprived of a year's salary. This penal ty is of l.o material eonsiijuence to Li, whose private income is said to exceed Breckenridge Will Contest. Loffsvu.i.E, Ky Xov. 11. A Frank fort dispatch says: Col. W. C. Brecken ridge's call on Governor Bradley yester day, afterm sin was undoubtedly prepara tory to a contest against Congressman elect Settle, of the Seventh district. Col. Breekenridge wants the vote of Owen county thrown out. If this is done il will elect him and all the thirteen Re publican electors. 2ia. Rain, says the St. Louis Republic, is an accumulation of the tiny particles of the vapor of the atmosphere into drops. These drops, first small sized, attracl others of their kind and lieomie drops of such magnitude that they fall to the earth because of their weight There is a limit to the quantity of water which the air is capable of alisorbiug and retiming as invisible vapor. Warm air is able to hold more than odd air. llen.-e, when theair which is saturated with moisture, le- comes cold for any reason whatever, il can no longer retain its moisture. A portion must, under sm-h condition ac cumulate into drops. These fall to the earth in the shape of rain. i, 16 TO 1.
