A short time ago Andrew Daum,
who resides in the vicinity of Lick
ingville, Clarion county, drew a pen
sion amounting to something over sev
en hundred dollars. It seems some of
the light-fiugered gentry got wind of
the matter,' and accordingly three men
came to the house one night last weok
with tbe evident intentiou of affecting
a small loan, unconditionally. Enter
ing the house the robbers commenced
shooting in order to intimidate the
occapanls. A young lady domestic
had the presence of mind to dump the
cash out of the window, while Mr.
Daum dispatched one of his boys to
the neighbors for help. But before
help had arrived the thieves were
frightened away. Mr. D. says here
after he will be fully prepared to give
intruders a warmer receptiou.
Wo had the pleasure on Thurs
day last of joining a party of fisher
men ctrmped on Lamentation creek,
Arriving on Wednesday evening we
had our hopes set on a good "fish" tba
next morning, but the rain com
menced poaring iu the night and con
tinued almost incessantly the next
day, spoiling the fun completely.
However, there was no scarcity of
trout, for that veteran angler, Andrew
Weller, was in the party, and while
he was confining himself principally
to cooking, he found time to slip out
between meals and keep the table
well supplied with trout. Thursday
morniog we sat down to a trout
breakfast, and there were oceans of
them, cooked in the highest style of
the art. Well, for once we had all
the trout we could get away with, and
so had all the rest. There's no use
talking; as a trout fisher Andy cau't
be beat; "I say, he can't be beat." '

The entertainment given iu the

Prof. A. C. Porter was not largely at
tended. Some parts of it were quite
interesting, but we think had Mr.
Porter given a more detailed accouut
of tho Ute Indians the audianee would
have enjoyed it more, as that was what
they expected.
We thought Balltown Johnnie had
more spunk than to break down un
der disappointment eo easily, and
then vent his passions on the ponies,
who, in self defense, had to 6mash up
the buggy and cause their hilarious
driver eo much trouble. Johnnie was
so tired the next day that he had to
send a substitute to work iu his place.

Kansas Letter.
After a prolonged silence, I ven
ture a few remarks in regard to our
Western home. The Spring was un
usually cold and wet. Yet many
farmers commenced planting corn the
fore part of April, but it did not
make a very rapid growth for some
time after it came op. During the
fore part of May we were visited with
one or two slight frosts, so slight as
not to damage tbe most tender vege
tables. I read with sorrow an ac
count of tbe heavy frost back there
the latter part of May, doing so much
damage. And it brought to mind the
many anxious seasons I have spent,
when on the farm iu Forest Co., fear
ing lest the frost would blight the
tender vegetation in Spring, and
again in the fall have witnessed the
destruction of our corn and buck
wheat by the cold, ere they reached
maturity. And I said I'd rather be
a Kansan where no blighting frosts
bring sorrow and discouragement to
the farmer.
The peach crop here will be almost
a total failure owing to the cold of
last winter, but strawberries, black
berries, raspberries, plums and cher
ries are very plenty. There are com-
paritively few apples trees in this part
of the State old enough to bear, but
wherever cae is fouud of sufficient
age to produce fruit it is loaded with
apples. A vast amount of fruit trees
re being shipped in heie from Nur
series in various parts of the State
every Spring and Fall, so that
M'Pherson Co. promises to equal any
of the older couaties in tbe produc
tion of fruit of all kinds, ia the near
future.
Harvest commenced here about tho
25th of June, and unlike every other
harvest since I have been here was
very wet, causing the loss of consider
able grain. Both wheat and oats rip
ened so near tbe same time that it
was impossible to harvest both just
when it was ripe, consequently much
of the oats aad some of the wheat
went to the ground before it could be
cut. It would seem incredible to
many of yours readers, were I to try
to tell the aniouct of money invested
in Harvesting Machinery iu our Ce.,
and yet so great is the acreage of grain
here that there are not machine's
enough to put away the grain in prop
er time to save all of it. There were
10 hoaders in the neighborhood where I
live, each capable of putting 20 or 25
acres of grain in tbe stack daily, aud
besides theso there were several bind
ers and droppers, and all parts of the
Co., are equally well supplied. Har
vest hands were in great demand and
could command good wages. Great
uu tubers pf people came in from the
western part of tbe state to harvest
and yet there was not enough to sup
ply the demand. The grain, judging
from appearance will be a greater
yeild per acre than last year, though
but little has been threshed.
One of my neighbors has purchased
a 81,500 steam thresher, furnishes bis
own men and teams aud boards them,
so that all there is left for the farmer
to do is to haul the grain away.
I never saw corn look as well as it
docs now here. The ground is thorough
ly wet, and tho corn is in roasting ear,
so that there seems almost every possi
ble chance fgr a bountiful crop. Some
people fear that the Chinch bug may
damage the corn, but I have little fear
of this as the season is too wet, and
they do their work in dry weather.
Potatoes are very good, also broom
corn, and sorgum. The hay crop is
good. A great deal of millet is raised
here as tfio breaking up of so much of
the Prairie, hitherto used forhayland,
makes the raising of tame grasses a
necessity.
We have just had tbe pleasure of a
visit from William WVitmau and wife,
formerly of Tionesta, now of Salina,
Kas. How gladly we welcome any
one from our native state. Mr. Whit
man seems very well satisfied with his
homo in Kansas and mo am I.

The Republican Congressional
Conference
In order to correct some erronious
statements that have appeared iu the
public prints concerning the late Re
publican Congressional Conference at
Brookville, Judge Cook, a candidate
before the same, writes the following
manly and straightforward letter to
the Brookville Republican :
Editor Republican : As there is
considerable unjust criticism and com
ment by papers and otherwise in re
gard to the Congressional Conference
and the nomination made at Brook-
villo on July 10th, I deem it ray duty
as a justice-loving citizen and honest
Republicau to make the following
statement :
As Forest cpunty's candidate for
Congress, I, in justice to my county,
friends and myself, made an active
effort to secure the nomination. I
believed that Forest had arguments
in her favor sufliciently strong to jus
tify the nomination of her candidate,
but at the same time I bad respect
and due regard for the claims of the
other candidates.
I am proud to know that Forest's
claims were treated fairly: that they
were advocated by good citizens and
business men iu the district, and that
they were considered and held as
strong as those put forth by the other
counties. It pleased the Conference,
however, to select A. C. White, Esq.,
of Jefferson county, as the nominee,
and I am satisfied that the gentlemen
who composed that Conference acted
honorably, and will never have occa
sion to recret their action.
' It has been stated that Mr, White
received this nomination through or
by complimentary votes. I am of a
different opinion. I believe it was a
nomination honestly made, as tho posi
tion of the candidates at that time was
clearly defined, and the time for com
plimentary votes had gone by. While
indiana favored ray nomination, and
did for me all I could in fairness osk,
yet in casting their solid vote for Mr.
W'bite they were fully justified, con
sidering the situation at that time.
It has beeu stated by a certain re
spectable newspaper in the district
that Clarion s candidate was the
strongest candidate before the Confer
ence, and that the field was against
him from tbe start. So far as Clar
ion's candidate was concerned, I be
lieved and knew him to be a gentlman
of ability, honor and integrity, and
besides being popular, had claims
worthy of respect, yet he was not the
strongest candidate before the Confer
ence nor was the field against him
from the start, as the conferees and
ballots will attest.
And now, knowing as I do the emi
nence attained by A. C. White, Esq.,
as a lawyer, his abilities as a debator
and public speaker, and that he is the
choice of the Republicans of our
Twenty-fifth Congressional district for
Congress, by virtue of the action of
the Conference and that be will faith
fully represent our business interests,
I for one shall do my duty aa an ac
tive Republican worker to secure his
election.
I fuither believe it to be the duty
of every loyal Republican in the dis
trict to use all fair and honorable
means to elect our candidate, and if
electod our district will have tbe hon
or of placing a laurel in tbe crown of
victory which surely awaits tbe Re
publican party in November next.

George Kepler's Bonanza.
The following remarkable narrative wo'
elip from the I'iltsburh W. It (shows
what a dny may biin forth. Tho subject
of tho story 'swell and favorably known
in this eeliont ' and his largo'cirele of
friends will rejoieo with and congratulate
him upon lijn rreat bonanza :
Ocotpo'M. Kepler, a humblo and un
pretendintr but utrictly JtoncMt clerk In a
modest little grocery In Oil City, Ta., at
tho ordinary and unpretentious salary of
por mouth, is now probably the hap
piest man in tho universe, lie is well
known among oil men In this city. He'
has frequently tasted tho delights of afflu
ence and wealth, but has just as often
drank to the bitter dregs the cup of pover-'
ty. Fortune, licklo as a nmidon, has flirt
ed with him since his early boyhood, but
it was not until recently that Independ
ence, linked arms with Opulence, invaded
tho sacred precinct of his household and
asked at his bauds a permanent residence.
Mr. Kepler was born in the eastern part
of this State in 18110. His parents, sturdy
Germans, gave him a common school edu
cation, and then sent him adrift to battle
with the cold and heartless world. lie
was industrious and frugal, and before he
had reached his majority bad paved his
way to a small fortune. In 1S50 he em
barked iu tho flour and grain business in
a country town in Centro county, Pa.
rellefonte was his principal market place,
and ho made frequent visits thero on busi
ness. It was there that his genial disposi-'
tion and warm heart won for him the vast
fortuno with which he has been but re-
cently endowed. On July 4, 1856, ho was
in Rellefonte. Tho villago was crowded
with people from far and near and all, It
seems, joined in the propor celebration of
our glorious natal day. Everybody was
tilled almost to overflowing with enthu-'
siaui and liquor, but in the vast gathering
there was one whose heart had not boerf
fired with a full realization of the occasion.
He was downcast and weary looking and?
boro external evidences of having indula
od in frequent revols with the wassail'
bowl. He was an Irishman. Short, thick
set, with red chin whiskers, and an im
limited amount of gab. He was asleep in
a chair in a barroom when a party of .
gentlemen envered, among them' George
M. Koplor.
"Wake up, old snakes," said one of the'
party giving tho drowsy Irishman a vigor
ous shake. "Come, join us in a drink."
Tho invitation was accepted, with air
apology for his ragged appoarauces. After
taking the drink the party wore escorted
to tho dinner table. The'lrishman, much
against his will, was compelled by Mr.
Kepler to accompany them to the table.
During the meal ho created considerable
merriment. Th conversation he displayed
moie than ordinary intelligence. Alter
dinner ho was induced bv Mr. Kepler to
accompany him home. Yor a time he did
chores about the place, but aftorwars
made a private clerk and book-keepor, a
position ho was thoroughly competent to
till. At the ond of a year ho suddenly re
solved to go West. He frequently receiv
ed lettors from England, but never spoke
of rolurning to his foreign home. He'
was supplied with plenty of money by his
employer. When ho started for fiis tour
of tho West ho assured Mr. Kepler that
ho would Boino day hear of him.
Years passed, but the son of Krin fail
ed write, or in any way make his where
abouts known. Last week Mr. Koplor re
ceived tho Intelligence of his deatn in Ire
land. He was tho son of a wealthy gon
tlemau, and had, during his early life,
been guilty of somo act that compellod
him to leave his native country. After an
absence of many years ho returned. At
his father's death, he, tho only child, was
made tho heir to an immense fortune. In
May last ho himself died. In disposing
of his property he willed to George til.
Kepler, of I'lirgeson township, Contre
count, l'a., one-half of his entire estate.
Last week an English gentleman, who
was mado exocutor of the testament, visi
ted Mr. Kepler and exhibited documenta
ry evidences showing that the estate is
worth ovor two and one-half million
pounds. Tho fortunate gentleman will
in tho neai' future sail for tiie grceu islo to
ass inn o control of bis share of the prop
ertya liberal reward for an act of pure
Christian charity.
Mr. Kepler is woll and favorably known
iu the eastern part of the State, aiid is not
unknown to fame in the oil regions. He
has made and lost during the past twenty-live
years three fair sized fortunos. In
a recent break in tho oil market ho was a
heavy loser, and was roducod almost to
penury. Sinco then lie has been employ
ed as abovo stated. His wife owns a val
