Election, Tuesday, Uctober 9th, IS GO. Havid R. Itaudall, Eq , Oar nominee for Congress, was in town on Thursday evening last, accompanied by the Hon. . B. Chase and Caleb E. Wright, of Wilkesbarre. - They each in tarn deliv ered addresses before a Democratic meet .ing. which had assembled in the Court House previous to their arrival. Owing to the lateness of the cars (for they came by cars) and the short notice of the meeting, there was not as large a number of the De mocracy in attendance as otherwise would have been. Notwithstanding, quite a re spectable number were present, and all teemed to be well pleased with the speech es. On the following evening they address ed a large and enthusiastic Democratic meeting in the town of Danville. They met with a hearty reception in Danville, especially our candidate for Congress, Mr. Randal!. The people were very much pleased with him, and will give him their Totes. In him they could see an honest man a man who would not cheat them, and a man whom they could trust. The Democrats of this Congressional District have no reason to cut the ticket this fall ; they have a good man, a man of whom they may well feel proud an honest demo crat and God knows that is enough. There is not the slightest reason for any Demo crat to vote lor Scranton this fall. The tar iff cry is worn rut. Scranton humbugged the people once with that issue, but he wilt not be able to play the same game over upon an intelligent people, such as this Dis trict is composed of. Stick to the ticket and all is well. Fire in hauville. Oo Friday last, about 1 o'clock p. m , a destructive fire broke out in a stable in the rear of Dr. Frick's residence, on Market Street, in Danville. This stable was on an alley, which runs close by the public house of William Henrie. The wind being high, the fire spread with fearful rapidity, con suming most all the frame buildings on the alley. It was with great exertions that the house of Mr. Henrie was saved. The office of Hon. Paul Leidy being on the corner of the square, and in eminent danger, and likely to endanger other property, was completely demolished removed in frag ments. Tbe loss is estimated at from 58,000 to S10 000, of which the greater part falls on Mr. Houpt whose tannery was consum ed. The fire is supposed to have origi nated through carelessness. The firemen deserve much credit for their persevering and successful exertions. ": Meeting In OrnnscTilie. Tbe Democrats of Orangeville and vicin ity held a meeting on Saturday evening last which was addressed by Charles B. Brock way and E. H. Little, Esq. It was a spirit ed meeting well attended. The speakers done justice to the cause of Democracy in able speeches of nearly an hour's length each. They were much pleased with their audience and endeavored to entertain them ia an honorable and trnthfol manner. These township meetings are being attended with a great deal of interest, which is a sure evi dence of susccess for tbe Democratic party Orange township, like many others, this fall, will not be found negligent in doing ber duty, but give her usual s;rong demo cratic majority. Oar Candidates for Assemblr. We have not written much about our candidates for Assembly, Col. Hiram R. Kline of this county, and Thomas Oater hoot, of Wyoming county. They are men amply qualified for the position named, and will make good and safe legislators. In this county they will receive the full parly vote. They are men of intelligence, good common sense meu, iiot political tricksters, fresh fr&ra the people, and if elected will serve their constituents faithfolly. The Democrats of Colombia will give the whole ticket their hearty support. Tlie Rislit Fceliag PrcTailing. We are glad to see the spirited manner in which th Democrats of Columbia county r - ... - go into, this contest. Meetings are-being called and held throughout the eounty the people calling them themselves and send ing lor such speakers as they desire. With sccb a fine feeling prevailing we ought to increase our usual majority. It can be done if the Democracy will do it. Push oa the column and increase the majority ! Meeting in Tine Township. . The Democrats of Pine and the surround ing townships held a political meeting at Warnersville, on Monday - evening last, which was presided ' over by Mr. Joseph Robbinsom. On motion, C. B. Brockway addressed the meeting.- His remarks were not of a character thai would rest easy with the Republicans ; for, as tn evidence of the fact, the individual of that locality, who had some asperations lor oflice ot Assem bly, & year ago, undertook, upon several occasions, to interrupt or contradict the speaker, but upon every occasion got rather worsted. The speaker stuck close to the records, thereby dealing out stubborn fact, which, as a matter of course, would greatly worry bis Republican friends, of which a good number were present. E. H. I ittlk Esq , was next called upon to address the meeting. He responded to the call, and made a very effective speech, which was listened to with considerable interest, but not without being interrupted by the would-be-Assemblyman. The speak er dwelt too plainly on facis for him, as did the speaker who preceded with the open ing address. He -jras applauded quite fre quently during his speech. The meeting was large, considering the disagreeable weather. Three cheers were given and the meeting adjourned. Another Lie Kailed. There was an item got into the public print to the effect that Col. Curtin should have said that a Dutchman was not like another man ; that he had two skulls, and to get and idea into his head one skull had first to be smashed This is contradicted by two men, Lot Strubble and John Musser, who publish letters to contradict the facts, ami which letters are published in all the Republican papers. These letters, howev er, are false ; for both these men have been called upon to make affidavit to what they publish, but both refuse to do so. This we have from a reliable source. We believe the mean reflections of Mr. Curtin npon the Germans to be true, and that Lot Strub ble and John Musser were hired to contra diet them. Meeting ia Jit. Pleasant. An enthusiastic Democratic meeting was held on Thursday evening last, at the Pub lic House of the late Wm Hutchinson, de ceased, Mountpleasant township, Columbia county, over which Mr. Philip Kessler presided. The meeting was addrsedes by E. H. Little, Esq., and Chas. B. Brockwy, both of this place. It is said that the meet ing was very enthusiastic and largely at tended. The Democrats of Monntpleasant are warm in the cause, and are making ex ertions for an increased Democratic majori ty at our generat election. This was the first meeting of the season for Mountpleas ant. Three cheers were given arfri the meeting adjourned. Democratic Meeting at the Borkhorn. On Tuesday evening of last week the Demociacy held a political mee'.ing at Buck Lorn, Hemlock township. The officers were President, Isaac Lcidt : Vice Presi dents, Chas Neyhard, Jesse Ohle. Addres es were delivered by tbe following gentle men : E. H. Little, Esq., Col. L. L. Tate. C. B. Brockway, and William Shoemaker. The speeches were received with deal satisfaction, and on frequent occasions :'brought down the house" with tremen dous applause. The gathering was a cred itable one, many more in attendance then was expected. Every man seems to be warm in the matter, ai.d is doing his por tion of the work to further on the glorious old Democratic cause. The meeting ad journed by giving three round cheers for the speakers and the whole Democratic ticket. Thus it will be seen how nobiy goes on the work. Hemlock is all straight for Randall and the whole ticket. Oar Representative Nominees. Mr. Osterhout is welt known to the citi zens of this county, is esteemed and respec ted for bis many - amiable qualities as a gentleman, and possesses in an eminent degree those qualifications that make a popular and efficient Legislator. Col. Hiram R. Kline, of Columbia, is a gentleman of correct business habits and experience a man of untiring energy ; and having the advantage of a good education united with much experience with reference to men and things, he will most ceriainly be an ornament to the station (or which he has been designated. In the Legislature we want honest, capa ble and dilligent men, who will work ; for the interest of their immediate constituents while they keep in view the general good of the State To an eminent degree, we have in ihe candidates named just those men. We really feel like congratulating the people ef the District on a selection 60 fortunate, and prophesy their election by a very large majority. They are men every way qualified, and we feel assured that the interest of the District will be well cared for and ably represented. North Branch Demo crat. The Danville Intelligencer, in speaking ot our Representative nominees, 6ays : Both these ' gentlemen come highly re commended by the people of their respec tive counties, for honesty and general up rightness of character. Col. Klinc, is well known to many . of our citizens as an in Jastrious and intelligent farmer, well ac quainted with the wants of the District, and every way capable of making a faith ful and judicious representative. Of Mr. Ostebhout, not having an intima'e acquain tance with him, we are not so well prepared to speak, but fndging from what we have heard, and hid standing in the community in which be resides, we have no doubt he will make an efficient legislator. Montour will give them a hearty support. Philip S. Motes ad veriises in to-days Star a handsome' lot of new Moves, which he will sell cheap for cash, or npon short credit. He also has on band, and makes to order, tin-ware of every description. Call and examine his new stock of wares. . Politics in Jackson. The citizens or Jackson township, Colum bia countyr held a political meeting at Maning's School house,' on last Friday eve ning, which was well attended. Mr. Iimr Dkrr was appointed chairman of the meet ing, after which', E, H. Little, Esq., Dis trict Attorney, of this county, was; called upon for a speech. Mr. Little responded to the invila'.ion by delivering a very effec tive speech of over an hour's length, which was patiently listened to. and with grea: apparent satisfaction. In the midst of his remarks he was frequently applauded with much zeal and earnestness. His addresses, to say the least, was well received. The audience was an intelligent and apprecia tive one. The speaker took his seat amidst thundering applause. Charles B. B rock w at, a student at Law, and an intelligent young Democrat,. of much promise, was next called upon the rostrum, and spoke to the audience upon the general and true issues of the Campaign at consid erable length, acquitting himself and the subject manfully. His hearers were much pleased with his remarks,, and upon every hit he was tremendously applauded. Every one who was in attendance at this meeting was a member of theDemocratic party, if we are allowed to judge from the enthusi asm. They came in delegations from all directions until they had swelled the num ber tremendously, considering that it was an evening meeting and not in a town, but in rather a thinly settled neighborhood. It was truly a renewal of one of the old fash ioned Democratic gatherings of that town ship. The Democrats in Jackson are up and doing ; they are folly aware that an im portant election is before them and they are going to attend to it. The meeting ad journed with more cheers than we have room to write upon this piece of paper. Enthusiastic Democratic Meeting. . Pursuant to brief notice, a' respectable portion of the Democratic Citizens of Co lumbia county convened on Thursday eve ning last, in the Court House, at Blooms burg Mr. L. B. RUPERT, was appointed President; Peter Ent, Esq., and Sheriff Sny der, Vice Presidents, with A B. Tale, and H. G. Philips, Secretaries. Caleb E. Wright, Esq., David R Randall Esq , and Hon. Ezra B. Chase, of Luzerne each in turn, addressed the meeting. Mr. Randall, the Democratic Candidate for Congress made an able and telling address, just such an one as our democrats love to hear and approve the sentiments of an honest mar. and plain democrat, simply and sensibly expressed, every sentiment of which received a hearty response by his intelligent audience. Not more able and interesting were the remarks of Mr. Ran dall, than those of Messrs. Chase and Wright, all of whom did justice to the sub ject on which they treated and especially to Col. Scranton, the "Plug Ugly, Know Nothing, Republican' candidate for Congress whom they clearly proved to be the gross est political importer ever foisted upon our Congressional District. Columbia Democrat. The Scramon RepulJican, excusing Col Scranton for withdrawing his vote for Smith after he was elected and voting again for I Sherman, the Ohio Abolitionist and endor ser of Helper's Book, says that "Col. S. conld not afford to have the Committee or ganized against the interests (Tariff) of his constituents." Now gentlemen, this game is played out You elected Col S. two years ago by crying Tariff ! Tariff ! Col. Scranton voted for both Grow and Sherman respectively for Speaker and they both advocated and voted for the reduction of the Tariff in 1&57. Col. S. could vote for Anti-Tariff Abolitionists, but had a holy honor of voting for an old. con servative, Henry Clay Whig. O Doctor Macartney ! this wont do. My Lord the Duke Alexander Wellington would get up a better excuse than that. Would not Grow or Sherman as speaker have made up the Committees also? The truth is, Col. S. went to Congress by crying Tariff, and pro fessing not to be a Republican. When he got there ho turned out as rabid as any of there, and you can't again shirk the issue' and elect Scranton by bellowing Tariff. Luzerne Uuion. Disturbing Political Meetings! By the revision of the renal Code of Pennsylvania, during the past winter, by the legislature, the disturbing of public meeiings was made an offence, punishable with heavy penalties. It may be a benefit to those Republicans who have interfered with Democratic meetings, to know, if they do not already know, to what extend they have violated the law of the state. And that it may be a warning to them in the future, we append the section of the Penal Code, relating to this subject : "Section 31. If any person shall willful ly and maliciously disturb or interrupt any meeting, society, assembly or congregation, convened for the purpose of religious wor ship, or any moral, social, literary, scien tific, agricultural, horticultural or floral ob ject, ceremony, examination, exhibition or lecture, such person shall, on conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, and suffer an imprisonment not ex ceeding three months, or both, or eilher, at the discretion of the court." We hope that a fear of the consequences, if not a sense of shame, will deter our op ponents, from attempting aDy interrutions ia this locality. Knickerbocker Magazine, for October, has been received. This is an ever wel come publication, and finds anxious readers wherever it goes. The literature in the present number is of the first water. "The Observations of Mace Sloper, Esq.," is an excellent piece. "Legends of the Seneca," Life on the Ocean Wave," and Strawberry Hill," are all pieces worthy of a careful perusal, and amply worth the price of the publication. Mr. John A.Geary, publisher, 16 and 18 Jacob Street, New York. Wc would direct attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of Real Estate of Malhew McDowell, dee'd. It will be offered for sale oa the 20ih iasL Democracy at Espy. . ) On Monday evening last the Democracy held a meeting in Espy this county Tiie meeting was organized by the appointment ol Lewis E. Green, President, alter which speeches were rnade by Wellington H. "Ent and Wesl'y Wirt, Enqrs. Their speeches were listened to with marked attention and greeted at intervals with the most hearty outbursts of applause Neither of them have been accustomed to tpeech-mAking, but with a little practice they would be come effective speakers. Espy is one of the strong holds of the Opposition, and it is with difficulty that a Democratic meeting is gotten up. Hand bills are not allowed to remain posted up any length of time, but are torn down, by whom we will leave the reader to judge. Taking all these disadvantages into consid eration, there was quite a large and respec table number in attendance, the effect of but one hand bill, which was allowed to remain, where it was put; it being on the premised of a stanch Democrat. This, my readers, is said to be the fa:t. We love to see fair dealing by all parties, and should one get the better of the other, let it be said that it was done honorably and man ful)). As the meeting continued, both, the audience and speakers, became more warm in the cause. The Democrats of Scott are zealous in the good work. On adjourn ing three cheers were given for the speak ers. . Proceedings of the Senatorial Conference. The Senatorial Conference of this District met at Brown's Hotel, in Northumberland, on Monday Sept. 10th, 1860 The organi zation w as deferred until the afternoon, on account of the absence of the Snyder coun ty confereps. An organization was effected at 1$ P. M. by the election of John Mc Reynolds, of Columbia, as President, and John Youngman and Mr. Cronnsmiller, as Secretaries. The following gentlemen presented their credentials, viz: Columbia John McRey nolds, Hudson Owen ; Montour Hiiam Antrim, Wm. A. Dean ; Northumberland, Mark Wilhington, John Youngman ; Sny der Mr. Bogar and Mr. Cronnemiller. On motion it was resolved that the votes of the different counties should be taken alternately. On motion, the nomination of Senator being in order. Hudson Owen, nominated Morrison E. Jackson, of Columbia. H iram Antrim, nominated Dr. L. F. Caldwell, of Montour. Mr. Bogar nominated Reuben Keller, of Snyder, and Mr. Withinzton, nominated Wm. T. Forsythe, of Northum berland. On motion of Mr. Wilhington, the Confe rence resolved to vote vui voce, and pro ceed to ballot. After some thirty-eight unsuccessful bal lots were had, it was resolved to adjourn to meet at the honse of John Deen, jr., in i r :n r i i : 4? ""'"'" o,u.

Resolved, That ihe proceedings ol this Conference, be published in all the Demo cratic papers in this Senatorial District. On motion, adjourned. JOHN McREYNOLDS, President. A. RoCKAFELLAR, ) Ma. Cronkemiller, ) Secretaries. The Scranton Republican claims that Col. Scranton '"gave Mr. Morrill the greatest in formation and most efficient aid in drawing his (Tariff) Bill," and we believe Col. S. claimed the same thing in his speech ac cepting the nomination. This is decided ly rich, when we take into consideration the fact that Mr Morrill had that bill, with perhaps very slight alterations before Con gress two 3-ears ago before Scranton ever saw Mr. Morrill eiiLer. It will be news to Mr. Morrill that Col. Scrantor: was his riijht handraan in drawing the tariff Bill. This cheat won't answer again, gentlemen. Exchange. Meeting and Tole Raising. A material change has been made in the appointment of the political meeting for Benton. In stead of its being held on Saturday evening next, it has been fixed for the afternoon of same day, at which time a hickory pole will be raised. This arrangement has been permanently made, and a large turn out is expected. The meeting will be addressed by good and competent speakers. Demo crats of Benton ! come to the meeting, one and all, and hear the principles of the Democratic party expounded in their true light. The Farmer and Gardener, published by A. M. Spangler & Wm. Sanders, Phila delphia, terms one dollar a year, has rnade its appearance for October, heavily laden with useful matter for the farmer. This is an indispensible publication, and it is amis tsry how any of our farmers get along with out it. Send and get it ; you wilt never re gret the investment. We are pleased to see that our Republi can friends are holding meetings in the dif ferent townships throughout the county. There is nothing that could be done to swell the Democratic vote in this county so much as the holding of these meetings. We like to see it. Shove on the column friends. Wc learn that Mr. George L. Shoema ker, of Buckhorn, Colombia connty had his pocket picked of S485 in cash, while attending the State Fair last week, at Wy oming. Mr. S. is not the only sufferer in this respect We have heard of several others loosing their pocket books at this exhibition. A small amount is much safer to hare at each gatherings. t, - " From the Selin Grove lime. READ! READ! READ! , LETTEU TO. AMmiJlF 0. ( URTIN X M iodlebukg, Pa , Aug. 6, 1860. Mr. Curti.v .As you are now a promi nent candidate before the people of this Commonwealth lor the highest office the people of a sovereign State alone can coa ler, and as you doubtless desire ever' man in ttie State to vote for yon for Governor, I lake this seasonable occasion to give yon, as well as the public, my reasons why I cannot and will not vote for you. When you was Secretary of this Commonwealth, a circumstance occurred in Bellefonte, the place where you reside, showing satisfac torily to my mind that you possess too ma. licious a spirit to fill, with any creditable degree of dignity, the honorable position of Governor over a free, civilized and enlight ened people. The circumstance was one of too serious a nature to be lost ; and as 1 told you then I would on some luture occa sion remind you of it, I shall now proceed to do so without the fear of your revolver in my mind. I will here first state that I am only a poor man, and by my profession am a huck ster. At the time above referred to, I came to Bellefonte on business. I had an excel lent dog with me to guard my wagon. A number of boys began teasing the dog by running at him. So soon as the dog would defend himself against these unjust attacks, the ungodly boys ran into the houses ; but no sooner had the dog again returned to his wagon, than the boys would also return and repeat the insult. Among these boys was the son A. G. Curtin, who being a lit-, lie tardy in reaching the house, was caught by the dog at the leg of his pantaloons. The dog was at once recalled and tied in the stable be longing 10 the hotel so as to prevent boys from teasing him. Soon after that, you came to me and asked me wheth er it was my dog that caught your boy. I told yon to keep a "little cool" and I would explain the matter; but you would not hear me and walked off greatly excited, and returned with a revolver in your pocket, and a crowd following you. You walked up and drew your revolver and said: "YOU DAMN DUTCH SON OF A B H IF YOU SAY ONE WORD I'LL SHOOT YOUR G-D I) D DUTCH SON OF A B ITS BRAINS OUT !" That, Mr. Curtin, was my first introduc tion to your Secretary of Slate ! It was a loud and strong intrduction I aad I must say I never had an introduction to an offi cial gentleman (?) I so well remember. Yon then turned to the poor dog and shot him three times, and said you had "another ball left for me." The subscriber is ready at any time, when called upon, to verify these statements by good reputable citizens who were present and wimesed the scene. These, then, Mr. Curtin, are some of my reasons why I really and honestly think you are unfit to be the head of a free, and sov ereign people like that of Pennsylvania Yon seem to have a contemptible opinion of Dutchmen, but allow me to tell you that the Dutchmen of Pennsylvania will show you by next October that they have an equally contemptible opinion ot you, not with revolvers, but with some thing more effectual and honorable paper balls. R. PICKARD. 1, the subscriber, am personally acquaint ed with Col. Andrew G. Curtin, the present candidate for Go1, ernor. 1 was present only to witness the latter part of the 6cene, when Mr. Curtin shot Mr. Pickard' dog. I lived in Bellefonte at the time it occur red. 1 heard a fuss ul the stable belonging to the Pennsylvania Hotel. I thought some persons were fighting and went to 6ee. When I came there I saw Mr. Curtin in a great raue, with a revolver in his hand and damning and cursing Mr. Pickard. While 1 was present Mr Pickard gave him no word which would insult him, but Curtin hot the dog and declared he had another ball left for Mr. Pickard. I did not know Mr. Pickard before then, but I thought at the time, Irom the manner in which Mr. Curtin behaved, he would shoot him. And to say the least of it, I thought Mr. Curtin was a very dangerous man with a revolver in his hand. After this excitement Curtin left and the crowd dispersed. SAMUEL H. SNYDER. Chapman, Sept. 17, 1S60. Snyder County js. Before me, the sub scriber, one of the Justices of the Peace, in and for the county of Snyder, personally ap peared, the above named Samuel II. Sny der, and after being duly sworn according to law, doth depose an say, that the above statement is true and correct to the best of his knowledge. HENRY MOTZ, J. P. Freeburg, Sept. 18, 1860. Our Nominee for Congress. On Friday lait the Conferees appointed by the sevral Countj' Conventions of this Congressional District met at Bloomsburg, and on Saturday morning nominated David R. Randall, Esq , of Providence this Coun ty, lor Congress. This nomination was quite unexpected, his name not having been mentioned in connection with the office. It seems to have been brought about by a desire on the part of the Conferees to nominate a man who was not desirous of the nomination, who had not sought it, and who, therefore, might be supposed to be outside of all cli ques or factions. It would probably have been better that the feelings of at least one other should have been consulted before the nomination was made of a compromise candidate in our own county, outside of the recommendation of our County Convention but that may have been the result of acci dent, or ot thoughtlessness; sure it is that Mr. Randall, knew nothing of it, nor had anything to do with it, as he was at home about his buslines., and was the most sur prised man of all the surprised when the news ol the uomitiatio'i was announced. David R Randm.l was born in theState of New Hampshire, and is now forty-two years of age, thinking to better his condi- tion, his father removed to the State ot New York, Chenango county, where, eight 3 ears afterwards his father died, leaving David an orphan, and lit'.le or no property for the support of the family. ; Left ihus with seven brothers and sisters, young Randall strug gled on to support the' family and educate himself. Day time found him at his work on the farms in the neighborhood, or any other labor that he could find to do that was honorable, and the night time found him at his books by the light of pine faggots In this way he educated himself and suppor ted a widowed mother and his brothers and sisters, till he arrived at the age, and ac quired the necessary education, to enable to become a teacher. In this profession he rose rapidly till he became a teacher i n the Seminary of the town near by. There he labored with the same energy that had characterized him from early boyhood, and was finally appointed Superintendent of Common Schools for the county of Chenan go. Devoting his time and efforts to the cause of education in this capacity for two 3-ears, he then concluded to enter upon the study of the law. He accordingly entered his name in the office of Ransom Balcomb, now one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of New York. This was in 1843, and he continued to read law with Judge Bal comb till 1846, being obliged, however, to devote much time to teaching, &c, to support the family. Judge Balcomb be came so much interested in his student that of late years he has several times visiteti Providence for the purpose of spending a few days with him at his home. In 1846, Mr. R. left his home and came to this county, commencing her to build up his fortune by teacking, soon after ente ring his name with Charles Silkman, Esq., of Providence. Here as in New York, he was obliged to teach day-times and study nights, for there was ever before him the dependence of his mother, brothers and sisters. Struggling along with persistent energy, in 1848 he wss admitted to the Unr of Luzerne. He opened an oflice at Provi dence, and soon his studious habits, frank manners, and ready bussiness tack, brought him clients, the number of whom increased till of late years he has had a large prac tice. Mr. Randall is a frugal, industrious, hon est, blunt man. He always says what he means and means what he says From his practice he has accumulated a neat, com fortable home for his family, aided largely to educate his young biothers and sister, the youngest of whom, a sister, he is now supporting at a female seminary in New York. His mother died the present season not living long enough to witness the hon ors so soon to be extended to her son, by a people who have witnessed his heroic struggles in life, and who will ever reward those who have the manhood, courage, ahili ty and will, to rise superior to all obstacles in youth, and make to themselves a place among the men of our country. At the Bar he is universally respected; indeed we be lieve that Judge Conyngham was the first to suggest his name for Congress, and there is not, among over fifty members of our Bar, one to be fonnd, no matter what may be hi politics, who will not bear cheerful testimony to the integrity and hih charac terof David R Randall. We have thus giver, a short sketch of our candidate. It is truthful and just, and pre sents a lesson to young men upon which they should reflect, while it appeals to old men to show their sons that snch character is appreciated, thus encouraging them to do likewise Luzerne Union.
