SHOOTINO STAR9.—Sometimo about the lat ter cud of this month, If predictions should bcful tilled, there will be a rain of stars, or meteors, elndlnr to that which alarmed the people of tills country . in 1491 and 1832. The number of meteors which have been seen chasing each other through the heavens for zeveral nights past may be the heralds of the approaching storm, and may have been sent to remind ns to be on the lookout for the grand cel,2- tial pyrotechnic display. Many of our clllzens remain np late at night to catelt a glimpse of the brightund attractive ferequuners, and their presence is sold to be not peculiar to this latitude but is manifested all over the world. There are signs now and wonders, In the heavens, and the earth, which have never been seen or known be fore, and may be significant of an approaching change In the economy of nature In the not very far La future. A LITERAM CUItIOSITY.—EdW. 11. Rauch, Esq., of Lancaster, Pa., has been engaged for some time on a dictionary of ,the Pennsylvania Dutch dial'ect.

In the same dialect, and which proved to be a source of much amusement and In struction to the readers of the Father Abraham, a weekly paper published 'ln Lancaster. Few at tempts have been made towards the establishment of a literature In this peculiar dialect. Rev. Decry Ilarbangh composed several sketches and poems In Pennsylvania Dutch. Mr. Rauch Is probably the first to take up the work of forming a vocab ulary Illustrating the analogy and the difference between the English, t➢erman and the Pennsylva nia Dutch: THUNDER TOUNIS.—h may interest some Or our readers to know the dangers to which many of thou are exposed during a thunder storm. We refer WOO custom of displacing the common wash line with a common wire. This in many instances Is attached with one end to the main building and the other to a post or outbuilding or perhaps a tree lu the yard. Trees from their height and com paratively good conducting power attract light.. Mug. The wire, more especially so, when the at mosphere in the more immediate neighborhood is charged with electricity. This may and under favorable circumstances would, In all probability, be conducted by the wire and spend itself In the main building:, destro'sing life and setting the house on lire. This was forcibly Illustrated the other night on the premises of Patrick Givins, whose hogs were killed by lightning. A wire which, It seems, was used as a wash line was at tached whit one end to the bake oven and the other to the pig ; fityc. The lightning was attracted by that end of the wire attached to the bake oven and Was conducted Into the pig sty and killed the In , mates. Ilad the wire been ex'tended down aside of the pig sty Into the earth and the end pointed away front the building, the hogs Would have been saved. When wires are used as wash lines and attached to the dwelling, ht the cud extend down Into the earth, cistern, etc., In a direction oppo site to that of the main building.

The thing was neatly and effectively done. A table groaning with good things was set out, on which a prominent ornament (which was c. table as well as ornamental) was a huge cake, on which could be read " Frank Reichard, aged 49," in frosted sugar work. Mr. Relehard was then in troduced—and surprised. The Bethlehem Band was present and enlivened the occasion with choice music.

Mackey and Hartranft, State Treasurer and, Au ditor General have placed in the hands of Attor ney General 11l ewster, all the papers connected with the war claims of the State of pennsyleaula as the proper officer to bring that defaulting agent to a settlement. This Is the course which we rec ommended from the first, and It now leaves the matter In the hands of the law officer, to whom the people will look for a thorough, fair and fear less course of action, Which we have every reason t i believe Attorney General Brewster will glee the subject. Thus properly referred, It is now only right that all attempts to prejudice the case, by passionate reference to It, should cease, that the law involved may be fully sustained. —ln this connection It Is due to a sense of pub- lie Justice, and a proper appreciation of what le honorable and true to write and print, that the course pursued by Messrs. ltartranft and Mackey woe :dictated by a desire to sustain themselves as sworn officers, and an Impartial purpose to do complete Justice to all concerned. They could not have done less than they did, after the matter was brought to their notice, and for what they did they have already received tin; applause of the people. Harrisburg State Journal. THE storm of ThUrsday night extended to Norristown. The nag-staff on Oakland Female Institute was struck, doing no damage to the building.

A heavy stock of meat had been prepared lust evening for the morning's market and was also totally consumed.

It is Impossible Co fully make up the losses of the first months of 1871, though every operation Is worked to its utmost capacity, and the railroad officials put forth every etfart. The Scranton sale of next week Is not expected to show any great increase. The fall trade will soon be at Its height, when the highest prices we shall see will rule. There has been some talk during the week of a new suspension by the Schuylkill men. There Is no foundation for the rumor. The men all over the coal fields are working at very low wages, and any attempt to reduce them would be fought against by all employed at the mines. But it is scarcely probable that the operators will Insist upon a serious reduction, in fart there can be no reduction until coal falls below what it now is. It Is too early by some inontba to begin to , think of a suspenslou.—Mauch Chunk Gazelle. ALI9EIABET.-A grain of prudence is worth a'pound of craft. Boasters are coasius to liars. Confession of faults make half amends. Denying a fault doubles It. Envy shooteth at others and woundeth herself. Foolish fear doubles danger. God reaches us good things by our hands. He has hard work to do who has nothing to do. It costs more to avenge wrongs than to bear them. Judge not that ye be not judged. • Knavery Is the worst trade. Learning makes a man lit company for hltuself. Modest Is a guard to virtue. Not to hear consequences Is the way to silence It. One hour to•day is worth two tomorrow.

NEW STORE.—Mber and Shantz, of this city, COrnellus Snyder and Owen Swartz,of Cala sauqua, last week rented the vacant store room in Seigle, Johnston Co.'s building and will at once locates wholesale dry goods store. These gentle men Intend to push the business and from what we know of the business qualifications of the two first-named gentlemen we' predict that they will inaugurate an immense trade. Seigle, Johnston Co. have frequently received the following objection to purchasing groceries of them :—" We know we can buy of }qui as cheap as anywhere else, but It will not pay us to stop at Allentown to buy groceries and then goon to Phil adelphia or New York to buy our dry goods and notions. .If you had wholesale stores In other branches of trade we could, with advantage to our selves, make all our purchases in Allentown." This firm has, therefore, considered it nu advan tagelo themselves to Induce others to engage in the 41tolesale trade, and we believe that the past success of this :firm and the certain prospective success of the new dry goods house will induce others to engage In caherbranches, which will re sult to the advantage of all parties concerned. NAMUM/ ESICAPE.—An accident occurred on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, near Glendon, on Friday morning, which might have resulted in a minions loss of life. A coal train was being shifted oa the main track on the time of the down passen ger train due here at 7:10 a. m., and the engineer of the locomotive "Sampson," attached thereto, sent a Ittgnnut up the road to signal the approach ing train. lie either failed to go up the road suf lielently for, or else neglected to give the signal, as the passenger train was not stopped until after It had struck the tender of the "Sampson." The Cow-catcher of the passenger engine, the plat forms of three passenger and one baggage car were broken to pieces. and one or two coal cars, and the tender or the " Sampson," considerably injured. The shock of the collision elicit 1 cuu siderable consternation among the passengers, al though none of them, nor the employes, were hurt in the least. The broken cars were switched into the company's shops at South Easton, new cars obtalaeil s and the passengers were sent MI to New York, after a delay of thirty minutes. Accidents so seldom occur on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, that a clinically of this kind causes considerable comment among the employes of this remarkably well conducted mud favorite route to the coal flelds.—Easton Erprers. KUTkTOWN FAIR.—The second annual fair of the Keystone Agricultural Society at Kutztown Is to take place this year from the second to the fifth of October. The premium list is extensive and embraces live stock of all kinds, field crops, grain and dour, vegetables, farming implements, manufactured articles, musical Instruments, flor al and agricultural productions, pastry, ke. Thu principal premiums for speed are as follows: Fastest trotting stallion,. mare or gelding, $120; second premium, $OO ; hest trotting horse, $2O ; second premium, $2O. For county horses only, that have never gone for money Best trotting hors • or mare, 4 years old, or upwards, $6O, se cond premium, $25; best trotting horse or mare under dye years, $2O; second premium, $10; fast est double team, $2O; fastest pacing team, $l5 best running horse or mare, SLS; best running mule, $lO. The premiums for cattle run from $2 to $l5, and the premiums for manufactured arti cles from 60 cents to $5. The opening exhibition of the Society last full was held under disadvan tageous circumstances, the Weather being unfav orable in the beginning of the exhibitiOu and the arrangements immature, notwithstanding which the display, especially In the House Departmei t, was quite creditable. We presume the fair this year will be touch more extensive and complete. WiL Rums Gluts.—The Journal of Com merce has no faith in the " pitiful stories" that are told us the Invariable preface to the history of de praved young women who are ever represented as lighting alone a terrible battle with want, clinging to their virtue until hunger, like a giant wolf at the door, has rendered them desperate and yield lug. The editor goes on to assert, that no young wo man In good health, skilled in any womanly ac complishment, need fall of remunerative employ ment, or be driven from this cause to surrender that which should be as precious as her life— add- Girls who can do even plain sewing are wanted by respectable employers nil the year round, and, ' when one is once proved, the deflated for her time is so great that her customers jostle each other ha their efforts to secure her services. Those who can lit dresses,. , or even take old dresses and reju venate them, can go out dearly every day in the year Into a good fetidly at from one and a half to two dollars per day, and three good meals thrown lu with the price, returning every night If they choose to their own boarding house or well fur nished apartments. • We know a lady, who a few days since, even in midsummer, tried to !Area girl to do plain sew lug at one dollar a day, her meals to be taken in the house at the same table with her employer, and who went to more than half a dozen recommended to her before she could find one disengaged, and then secured her for only part of the needed time, because she had eo many other calls. A smart young girl who is only skilled In plain sewing upon linen and muslin undergarments, goes out with or without her sewing machine at two dollars a day, and a friend at our elbow has been waiting several weeks to secure a turn at her service. The fault Is, says the Journal, the love of dress and ornaments ; hankering after a life of case and pleasure ; a looseness of moral sense, leading giddy feet along the borders of the downward path; demoralizing books and papers fostering unchaste thoughts ; idle hours and empty heads, and a cheek where a modest blush is•a stranger. To DESTROY THE DANADA TOISTLE.—Some days ago we received au inquiry (mislaid) as to the best means to get rid of the Ginadd. thistle We have printed a great deal within the last toe years on this subject, front our own experience and the experience of others. In regions where the pestiferous weed ahoundshy square miles and almost forces farmers to abandon the cultivation of the land altogether, they adopt no other mode to destroy it than mowing In August. This of course diminishes the natural Inerea . se of the growth somewhat the following season ; but that Is all. Next year the thistle appears again itt least as abundant as ever—and so the evil Is per mitted to go ou year after year. Frequent,eultivation of the land luau a good e ect to les:Talus the growth ; and thus we.notleed that In "hoed crops"—that is, lu corn, potatoes, &c.—lt was much less abundant. But we could not see that there was any general or systematic effort anywhere made for its thorough eradication. Fartn'ers seemed, indeed, to view it as a thing not to be got rid of. If otherwise, how was it to be done? They do nothing beside mowing, and that sparingly enough. They say it's no use. This Is an easy way for lazy people to dispose of any question requiring labor which does not appear to bring money immediately Into their pockets. Even in thls view ourreaders will scarcely believe us when we say 'that their barnyards are full of thistles, and that it is to be seen perfectly at hotne, in the door-yards. among the rose-bushes, holly hocks, &p. The best way to destroy tie thistle, In p.,tches and fluids, is by the copious application of :salt. If before a rain the stalks are cut off close to the ground and salt poured Into the cavities, it will be sure to destroy them. But oven a heavy dose of salt, applied about or nearly lu the same pro portion as upon the asparagus bed, before a rain, It will do the work thoroughly. But mind, there must be no sparhug of the salt. No mere &prink. ling. The ground must be covered. It will of course kill everythiug else for that season, but It will hardly be purceptible the following season, and will actually pay no a fertilirer.—aerman- Mum Telegraph.

THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY DEMOCRACY.— The Democrats of Montgomery held their Pre paratory Meeting on Tuesday and were addressed by Gen. McCandless and Dr. Acker, the latter, especially r reiterating his speech delivered in this city and Catasauqua. We are afraid If the Doctor makes that speech much oftener he will come to believe what ho says is true. In their resolutions the Democrac y , after a season of infidelity, considered it Import ant before entering the canvas, to renew their pledges of fid elity to the Union and Constitution; denounced the Radicals for amend ing the Constitution without the consent of the Democrats ; Condemned the manner in which the Radicals rule the Government; charging the ma jority lu Congress with having sought to prevent the freedom of actions ; denying that the Admin. l-tration deserves any credit fur reducing the Na tional debt ; chrrging that the Repti'llean party threw away millions of acres of public land ; that avert the destruction of the Government it Is necessary fora Democrat to be in the Presidential chair; uniting with thelrDenmeratie neighbors of Betts and Lehigh, in proclaiming Gemer..l Han cock Hull' Ilrst choice for President ; approving of the course of their Congressman and Representa tives in the Legislature ; and that they make their nominations on the 12th of September. It will bn observed nothing was said about Tariff, out of re-pest, we suppose, to the sensitive feelings of Dr. Acker. The Norristown !herald says " there was an 'effort in the meeting, led by ex-Representative Joseph Rex, to repudiate the ninth resolution adopted by the State Convention, but ilou. 11. M. Boyer, aided by a few who were present prepared Mr the emergency, tiucceeded In having it sup. pressed and the negro swallowed as served up by himself. " The opposition to the I netv departure,' how ever, In the committee appointed by President Ilo• hart to construct the platform, was quite formid able, and showed Its strength in a vote taken on a resolution endorsing the action of the two dele gates from this county to the State Convention i❑ opposing negro suffrage. 'the Hen party was rep resented by a vote of 12 in favor, against d op posed to, endorsing the action f the Montgomery delegates." A SAD TRA(IEi'DYMYSTEItIOUS DlSAD remeAsr 0 or a errizies or NolcinsTOWN—HE Is FOUND WITH Ills 1111'110AT CUT.—In the beginning of July we published an account of a distressing calamity, of which Mr. Edward Hopkins, a young farmer, living about live miles above Norristown, was the victim. Mr. Hopkins had taken passage In the train which left Phomixville on the 5:20 P. M. train, intending to slop at Norristown. Oil the arrival of the train, which crosses a bridge, from Bridgeport, a few squares below the station, Mr. Hopkins was about to Jump to the ground, where his father was waiting ler him, when the Philadelphia trait' came past, at Its usual rate of speed, catching him and throwing him under the wheels, cutting car one leg, an arm, and injuring Ills bead, killing him instantly. The 811;11t pre sented at the time was said to have been ash:ken- lag and heartrending one—the man, crushed and covered with blood, and the old, grapheaded father, walking to and fro, wringing his kande and crying In a pitiable manner. To title tragedy there was a most sorrowful sequel. Mr. Thomas ilopkine the father of the deceased, having wit nessed the horrible death of his son, was filled with overwhelming grief, and after the first dread! al shock it did nut scent to abate, hut to in crease in poignancy. lie feel into a state of per- Mantua despondency and dejection, during which the catastrophe he had witnessed seemed 'always present hefore his eyes; and at last his conduct Seethe so strange that his family were seriously alarmed lest his mind should be affected. Linhuppily, this was the result. Mr. Hopkins at last scented to be oppieseed with the conviction that he was suspected of complicity whh the de struction of his son, and it IS said he spoke con stantly of his fear thathe would be summoned to appear at the session of the Court which began at Norristown, on Monday, to answer the charge of nler. &vent' times the members of his afflicted ally eusneeted that Mr. Hopkins Mho led to ;I: his life, and they watched him very closely, er h crmitting him to wander away alone. lam tuk not' Mo aiday 'twirling he 'was especially excited over Le fact., well known to hirn,that the Court would beglu it, session that day. At an early hour he roc 11.11 d dressed himself before any one knew of Ile was discovered trying to =ln cave the 110030, and upon Inquiry being glade, he :aid he wklied to go to the stables. No other momber of the family w•as dressed, so it was Im possible to accompany him, and he was permitted to go alone. Soon afterward search was made, and the fact %VAS developed that Mr. Hopkins was not any where upon the premises. Inquiry nmong his friends stud relatives In the neighborhood was sin; fruitless. Lo had not been seen. Tin:alarm was at once given, and as he was well-known and unl- versully liked in the neighborhood, crowds of peo ple turned out to express their heartfelt, sympathy. for him and his family by humbug for him. The f ars of his family were dreadfully excited by the fact, ascertained by his wife, that he had taken one of Ids razors with hint. During the whole day Monday the search was continued In every portion or the suburbs of Norrinfown. The river and creeks were dragged unceasingly In the belief that he had drowned himself, and diligent search wan made In all the woods mind thickets In which such perton Would be likely to seek secluSitm. But up to Monday night the poor wanderer was not found. • Early Tuesday morning, however, some citizens of Norristown discovered the body of a man lying in the graveyard adjoining the Filends' meeting house, in the borough. Upon examination it was ascertained that It was Mr. ilopitins. Ile had killed himself. lie lay there, prone upon the earth, with his throat cut from ear to ear, and with the ground beneath him crlMSOned 3vith the blood that had flowed from the horrid wound. By his side lay the raz.tr with which he had committed the deed. This dentiftti calamity coming so soon after the death of young Mr. Hopkins a few weeks ago, hue plunged the family In affliction which Is too deep to be expressed In language. For the widowed mother, and for the estimable children who are yet I:ving, unspeakable sympathy Is felt In the community. The feeling Is deepened, too, by the fact that In all the long years of the life of the senior . Mr. Hopkins, he has been blameless and without reproach. Ile was a man of spotless In tegrity, pure character, gentle disposition and high Intelligence. Ills hand was in every good work, and his liberality wan so great that he was ever the first to move In • effecting any reform which seemed to promise to be bent fetal to the commu nity. Ills less will be felt by rill classes, and mourned by all 'who knew - him petsonally.— •OMonirle of ihr 2114. • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE Great Damage froM Fire and Water. LOSS UPWARDS OF $20,000. Ott Sunday afternoon, about quarter after live o'clock, sthoke was seen issuing from the front of Setaelber's dry goods store, ..No. 634 ilittnliton street. The rain .was pouring down at the Grim: . he flrept.;i.. nrahl.t.f win J, trickly responded to:the soon Imo thidi aliiparatusoti the ground.'

When the front was forced through au Im mense volume of smoke burst out, defying the exertlemr °NM, Ilremen to ascertain the location of the (lb MVP. St reams were introduced front and rear, anti played Ito pliaz .r.l Into the store room, involving the ruin of the entire stock of goods. L uhlers were thrown up against the building and firemen mounted them and conveyed their lime into the second,tory rooms. !dr. Butz's law of fice wits thoroughly flooded, and fearing that the Ore would extend to the second floor, a number of his law books were thrown out the window, of course damaging them seriously. The smoke penetrated In dense volumes to the adjoining buildings. The Democrat office appeared to be in peril and the flies, hooks, live matter, etc., were carried down stairs. The family which occupy the upper stories of Schreiber's building left at the first alarm or they 'night have been placed In a critical position. For a long time the people were kept In breathless suspense. The continued rush ing from the building of heavy, black volumes of smoke, and the ignorance of the location and ex tent of the filmes, caused serious apprehensions not only for the safety of the building, but of the adjoining property. About quarter after six It was evident the fire was completely under control and the property holders and residents of the neigh borhood breathed freer. After the smoke had entirely cleared away an Inspection of the building caused general surprise that so little had been burned. The flames seemed to have !:::en confined to the lath and plaster wall and mutt the stairs, on the western side of the llow the fire originated is a matter of conjecture. We understand on the second floor Is a clos,t in which old paint cans, waste and 61 rags were kept and here the fire appears to have originated, caused by spontaneous combustion. The closet being tightly closed confined the fire until It burned through the floor, and cofnmuni ceded to a quantity of goods stored Immediately below. 'chase were vonsumed and tDe pillars sup. parting the floor were badly charred. We under stand one of the firm had been in the store about twenty minutes previous to the discovery of the smoke. In Mr. Kauffman's office, over the First Na tion Bank, the smoke Caine . up between the flour ing and weather-hoarding, and heated the floor SO much that It was Impossible to keep one's hand upon It. Had the tire raged a few minutes longer this room must have caught lire. The building was owned by Guth At Kern and was purchased for $20,000. The Insurance amounts to s'l,ooo, $5,000 In the Upper and Lower Saueou and $l,OOO In the North America of Phil adelphia ; $lOOO will probably cover their loss. Schreiber Bros. had a static of probably $lO,OOO In goods and fixtures, upon which there Is an In surance of $14,000, as follows: $4,000 In the Northampton Mutual, $5,000 In the Germania of New York and $5,000 In the Merchants' of Hart ford. SeveraA accidents occurred to the firemen in their noble exertions to save the property. Harvey Young, ()CM) America Hose, had his hand badly cut while breaking a glass. Jell. Reimer, of the same Company, had his hand cut by glass. Eu gene Newhard, of the Liberty Hose, hand cut. Jamb White, of the Liberty; bad his head cut above the eye. John Burger fell from a ladder onto some Wok en glass and cut his grist . severely. The firemen deserve great credit as usual for mei, lemma and efficient service. THE STORM. Streets and Cellars Flooded—Dam age lo Railways—Several Houses Sktruelt by Lightning. With one exception, within the recollection of the oldest Inhabitant, the storm this week was the severest that ever visited Allentown. The rain poured down unceasingly for an hour and a half, and about ten o'clock flash upon flash of blinding lightning followed In rapid succession, quickly succeeded by deafening peals of thunder, which made the stoutest heart quake with appre hensions for the safety of those not within reach. The water rushed through the streets In torrents, overflowing glitters and pavements and Hamilton street was transformed into a huge creek. On Linden street the water poured In from the north and south and the newly constructed culverts proved entirely inadequate to carry off the UM- MeH&C volumes of water. In some places the street was covered with water from the southern curb to the line of the northern houses. The cel lar of t h e Pennsylvania Hotel was half tilled with water and many dwellings suffered a similar dis comfort. At Sixth and Linden the water rushed over the.culvart and shot a wide stream through the yard of J. Allen Kramer. The culvert was damaged and some of the planks were carried down the street a considerable distance. The CIL IUM& along that street are unreserved in the com plaints against the City Government for the inef fectual.means that have been Lakes to protect the residents front the heavy, flow of water upon occa sions similar to the one Friday morcing. The flood was also heavv'on Walnut street and flooded the floor of St. John's English Reformed Sunday School room. A hou-o in course of erection by Reuben and James schuman, at the corner of Gordon and Hall streets, was struck by lightning and about two feet square of the slate roof and a rafter were toru off. With Lists exception the house was not much hij seed. The house of Samuel Hartman, on Union above Seventh, was struck by lightning on the roof and the electric current passed over the house to the rear stud tore off some slate from the roof ofJo seph Hartman's stable. Some houses In course of erection on Fifth street above Gordon were struck twice and slightly damaged. ' On the Hamilton street hill, in front of Yeakel's Implement ware.house, the water did considerable damage. One stone .about seven feet long and three wide was careel about twentyflve feet, and another eight feet long and three wide was carried a distance of ten feet. On the opposite side of the street, from Penn to Fourth street, the water washed a piney along the glitter, in some places to the depth of three feet. At the east end of the Jordan Bridge, in front of Weikel's cigar store, the Passenger Rail way track was covered with sand and stones and workmen were employed to clear it. As Dr. Reichard was driving along Chew street, between Ridge Road and Second street, he was , startled by a blinding flash of lightning quickly followed by crashing thunder, which appeared to have dese - ended between the horse and the dasher. , The animal took fright and became hard to man ! age. This stroke i3truck the gable end of Win. Reese's hou'se, tearing slate oil the roof froin the chimney down to the edge of the roof, In some places to 'the width of three feet.

THE DEIVIOCRATIC CONVENTION. A . SPORMY SESSION The Democratic Conventioni on Saturday, cre:.. Med greater interest than any other assemblage or the kind that has met torther for several years. The general anticipation was a light—and the con sequence was is crowded house. After Col. Horn called the convention to order a resolution was offered that the convention decide upon the ques tion whether Rotation or Anti-Rotation should , b'erca Ref' be the rifle of the party. Col. Horn stated that.Hte county meeting was the proper place to tiffee such a resolution ; that these delegates had been.sent hero for a single purpose—to nominate Candidates—and ho therefore ruled the motion out ..Or Order. After the candidates were named for the several &flees a motion was made to adjourn the conventionlo the Grand Jury room, so that the balloting could be done in secret.. Mr. Rupp inbred to lay it on the table. This was voted down and the original motion carried amidst much con fusion. The Anti-Rotation men jumped to their feet and denounced this proceeding as an outrage upon the people and declared that such a move would burst up the party. The delegates who favored the move seers largely in the majority and as they made a rush down the aisle, holding the chairs over their heads and angry tnen were ges ticulating and shaking their lists and loudly clamoring against such a proceed ing, everybody talking at once, it produced such a scene as has seldom been witnessed out side the rowdy conventions of Philadelphia. The dissatisfaction spread to the audience, many of whom had come miles to witness the proceedings of the convention, :tut, all over the room could be heard such expressionsas it will burst the party,the convention will break up in a row, I don't care a d—m, they can go to h—l, I will never vote their ticket, and so on. Even the Republicans, who would gladly seethe corruption of the "Ring" brought to a close by the acts of the Ring .Masters themselves, joined in the feeling of indignation against the outrage that was to he put upon their Democratic fellow-citizens, the rank and tile; Seeing the rumpus that had been created Cal. Horn showed himself equal to the occasion and jumped to the speaker's desk and detminded order. It was some time before he could gain the attention of the crowd, and then Ile stated that the Grand Jury Room seas too small for their purpose (very inge .lllolo3 indeed). Let the works of the Democracy be done openly so that all could see. He counseled order and the Republicans who were there would yen how harmonious the Democratic party was and would go home shaking in their hoots. The idea was well received and the delegates took their seats. The Democracy have Col. Horn to thank for saving them from an open rupture on Satur day. Nothing short of the great presence of mind he displayed could have prevented the convention I from breaking up in a row. For over a year the party has been turn asunder by powerfal which ere more bitterly opposed in feeling than the members of the contesting parties. The ills. sessions of Saturday only heaped coals on the lire and to-day the Democratic party of this comity is 'weaker than it has been for years—the result of recklessness hi the managetnent of county affairs brought about by over-confidence in its own power 'givenitbyanmajorityofoverllfteenhandred. The convention proceeded to ballot. For Assembly Adam Woolever and Herman Fetter were nomi nated by declamation. For the honor conferred upon him Fetter attempted to make a speech. Ile made another shortly afterwards, which was hi effect : " Come, take a drink." 'These words were drunk in with evident satisfa eticin - and the pale cheek of Herman resumed Its rosy flash. Herman expects to be elected. For Associate Judge dames Fry received 66 votes and Nelson Weiser 28. votes. The latter publishes the Democratic organs, the Republikaner and Daily News. It was expected he would shots greater pow-2r in the convention as he has always been supposed to bra man of great influence in the Party, but he has been such a bitter party man, always head-foremoat In the sharp games of his partizans, that it was feared his election would not give the people such an unprejudiced and just a man on the bench as James Fry has been. And besides, notwithstanding the fact, that his paper, the Daily News, his given Mr. Stiles some hard thrusts, Nelson Is a Stiles man, another point to which exceptions were taken. The balance of the ticket is as follows : Sheriff, Owen W. Foust. District Attorney, Wm. 11. Sowden. Recorder, Silas Cutup. Treasurer, Peter Heller. Commissioner, Bojamin Jarrett. Poor Director, Jonas Hartzell. County Auditor, Solomon F. Rupp. Trustees of the Academy, Dr. E. G. Martin and George P. Weil. • The following gentlemen were elected delegates to the State Convention :—Senatorial delegate, J. F. Newhard, Esq., of Allentown ; Representative delegate, J. Frank Reichard, of Rittersville, and Dr. 11. K. Ilarizel of Allentown.
