vote separately: The total vote of the two
townships was Kjfi divided ar follows:

Tho Prohibition, SK-ialist anil JctTer
sonian electors each received one vote
here.
The remaining townships of the county
may be fairly classed as purely agricul
tural, or at least nearly so. Tho mining
interests at Listie and other points along
the line of the S. tt C. R. R.
are not extensive enough to take any of
them out of this class; not more than
two of their Tillages would have a popu
lation large enougn for inoorrioralion as
lioroughs, aud these townships can,
therefore, lie classed as lieing distinctive
ly agricultural as any in the State. Their
total vote is .VK'rl, divided as follows:

In the townships Prohibition electors
received 62 aud the Jeffersoniau electors
6 votes.

Had there been any foundation for the
anti-election claims made for Free Silver
it would be shown in the largely increas
ed vote that would have lieen given to
Bryan as compared with the Democratic
vote of previous years but there is no
such increase. While there is an in
crease of 31) votes over 1KJ, that is not
even twhat the natural increase would lie
while it is a decrease of 2HS votes when
compared w ith the iargiwt previous Dem
ocratic vote, which was in isso.
There were iu the entire county 213
voles cast for the Brvan and Sewall elec
tors found in the Free Silver column
possil.ly these voters may have formerly
been Republicans instead of Democrats
or Populists, which may have the been
alleged Free Silver defection among the
farmers, that was to overwhelm the R
puliln-au party in defeat cut a very in
significant figure, their vote instead
showing that all classes of our people
whether farmers, inechanbts, laborers.
professional or business men are alike
opiosed to repudiation and anarchy.

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. L:est v int'T while Mi-. W.
Cams, a 1 inils-riu.i.i, was going o
one of his mills out in tho mountain be
noti;ed a wolf track in the snow; gong
on a short distance he saw where a w.-lf
had j.ist dug out of the snow an old de r
horn and was trying to breakfast on it.
pon hearing Mr. Cams' step, it lied in-ithespru'-c.
It is easily seen how de
structive these wolves are to game and
domestic an i in lis. Xot many years ago
the nio'iutain w:n pretty well stocked
with hotrs lh.it had become quite wild
and quite a number of deer, now or.e can
not even see a tra-te of a single hog aud
but now and iIipii a deer.
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.

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.

The Badge of J. 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. Johnstown

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
