THE APPROACHING CONTEST.
Thus far there has been but little stir about
the election ; nor doe 3 It seem likely that
tanch will be made, as a general thing. And
ret much importance attaches itself to the re
sult. Should the Democracy be successful, it
will be hailed as an" endorsement of Mr. Bu
chanan should they fail, it wilt be regarded
as another rebuke to the President, by the
people of his own State. It will also, which
ever way it goes, have its effect upon the con
test in I860. This being the case, it cannot
fail to produce pleasurable emotions in every
member of the People's party to learn that,
in all sections, the popularity of Cochrah and
Keini, our candidates for Auditor and Survey
or General, is daily increasing, and that their
success is now looked upon as certain. The
only danger is the confidence that all feel, and
which is bnt too apt to produce apathy. We
trust that bo such feeling will be allowed to
take hold of even one voter in our party, but
that all will, at the proper time, come forward
and do their whole duty.
Assembly Casdidates. Isaac G. Gordon
Esq., of Jefferson county, and Wm. A. Nich
ols, Esq., of McKean county, having been for
mally nominated by the several counties in
our Representative district, they are now be
fore the public as the candidates of the Peo
ple's party for the Assembly. We are author
ised to state that Mr. Gordon accepts the nom
ination, and we presume Mr. Nichols will also
accept. Mr. Nichols last fall, when there
were three Opposition candidates in the field,
withdrew, to give Mr. Frank, of this conty, a
fair chance. Mr. Gordon is well known to
many of our citizens as being possersed of
more than ordinary ability, of the strictest in
tegrity, and of the most irreproachable private
character. If the moral tone of the commu
nity is not strong enough to induce hundreds
to lay aside mere party prejudice and support
fcirn in preference to such a man as Dr. Boyerj
Ihen, Indeed, are they, like Ephraim, "wedded
to their idols," and talent, probity, and recti
tude of conduct and purpose, may be regarded
as of little consequence in our lawmakers.
The Washington Constitution, the Adminis
tration organ, comments upon Senator Doug
las' article i!t Harper's Monthly thus : "As a
contribution to the political literature of the
day.from a prominent candidate for the Pres
idency, it will attract general attention, and
the popular magazine in which it figures will
give the additional advantage of its wide cir
culation. Reserving any extended observa
tions for the present, we may remark that, at
a time when the Democratic masses in differ
ent, parts of the nation, holding somewhat
more or somewhat lesson the question of pop
ular sovereignty and other subordinate ques
tions, are ready to unite on a safe, practici
ble, middle ground, the appearance of this
production is, to say the least, unseasonable."
Is Tows. Hon. James Gamble, the new
Judge, and Hon. Al. White, the Lecomptonite
who was defeated by Judge Halo last fall, ar
rived here yesterday evening. From the ma
noeuvres this morning, it is evident that they
are on an electioneering excursion, and White
has doubtless accompanied the Judge for the
purpose of fixing up matters with the Lecomp
ton wing of the party in this county. The
Judge, though an affable and courteous gen
tleman, is, however, bound to be defeated.
The reception of Horace Greeley at Sacra
mento, California, was an oration such as the
white-coated ptiiloSorihef never before receiv
ed. He increased his popularity by making a
strong speech for the Pacific Railroad, with
out reference td the route, so that it was be
tween some place in the Mississippi States and
California. The curiosity of the people re
garding him was very great. '
Our political friends in Clinton County hare
some trouble on hand just now. Two conven
tions hare been held and two candidates nom
inated for Assembly. Wm. Fcaron, jr., mem
ber from that county last winter, iJ the nomi
nee or one convention, and B. Rush Petriken
of the other.
The next electoral college, if Kansas should
be admitted at the approaching sessijn of
Congress, will consist of 306 members, 154 of
whom will be necessary to a choice. The non
lavoholding States will have 186 electors,
and the slave holding States 120.

hat, staggered backwards and fell, his head
striking some stones lying in the street. Not
getting up, the bystanders approached.carried
him into a stable, and summoned a physician ;

started, but on the Way the prisoner pgreed to
give Mr. R. the marc he was riding when ar
rested to make up his loss, and gave an order
for her on Mr. Kellermart of Gaysport, who
had her in possession. Soon alter this, the
manacled man sprang from the dearborn, and
strange to say, the irons dropped from h!s
limbs and he made his escape. . . . The Ty

Allegheny Coustt. On day last week, two
children of Mrs. Ranch, resident on the cor
ner of Wood and Water streets.Fittsburg, one
a boy of nine years of age, the other a girl of
about four,left home to ramble over Sligo hill
in Lower St Clair township.just beyond South
Pittsburgh. It is supposed they were in search
of nuts. The little boy climbed a tree on the
hill, and a limb breaking, ho fell to the ground
and was instantly killed. His sister was so
much frightened that she started to run down
the hill, slipped and fell over a precipice of
some sixty feet in height, into a quarry below.
She was, of course, very much injured, but
had no bones broken, and we believe is expec
ted to recover. The children were named Len

SCHOOL CELEBRATION AND PIC-NIC.
A school celebration and pic-nic was held by
the citizens of Pennfield and vicinity, at Penn
field, on August 2Gth. A lew days since, a
number of Pennfield's patriotic cjtizens delib
erately concluded that the prolonged monoto
ny of this place should be broken ; and that a
celebration and pic-nic should be the meaus of
disturbing the usual routine of this quiet ri
cinity. Their conclusions being made known,
the inhabitants at once acquiesced; and jtic
vic was echoed by every one.
Every person immediately set themselves to.
work making preparations for the coming fes
tival. The pl&cc selected for the pic-nic was
a beautiful grove of apple trees, seemingly
constructed by nature expressly for occasions
of this nature ; seats. . tables,-and all the et
ceteras necessary for the celebration were con
structed ; and flags, banners, wreaths, &c, in
great profusion, served as ornaments for the
occasion. On the morning of the eventful
da, at II o'clock, the company assembled at
the school house near Mr. Hiram Woodward's
for the purpose of forming a procession, and
march'ng to the grove. J. B. Hewitt. Esq.,
and Mr. John Thomas, were the appointed mar
shalls ; and each, wearing a beautiful regalia,
mounted their gray matched steeds and per
formed the duties obligatory to them in a man
ner truly creditable. The two schools of the
vicinity were arranged in procession with their
teachers in front ; each school carrying a ban
ner with appropriate mottoes. The young la
dies of each school were adorned with Wreaths.
The procession, numbering tvo hundred and
filty, then proceeded to the grove, and being
arracged in seats by the marshals, listened to
a lecture by Dr. C. It. Early, on the subject of
the common school saystcm of Pennsylvania.
The Dr. addressed us in his usual, familiar,
and interesting manner, and was listened to
wjth marked attention by all. The company
then proceeded in order to the table, which
was bountifully spread with the good things of
earth, reflecting much Credit to the ladies. A
blessing being asked by Grandfather Hewitt,
each one regaled himself on the bounties
spread before him in a manner which showed
that the labors of the ladies were appreciated.
After dinner the company' were again seated
and T. W. Letts addressed the audience on
"the necessity and progress of education in
our township as regards the past, present, and
future." The lecture was delivered in a man
ner which would have done credit to one much
more experienced. After the address of Mr.
Letts, C. II. Powers, took the stand and de
livered an oration on the advantage of an ed
ucation, and the means requisite for obtaining
Sutih. The manner in which Mr. Powers de
livered his oration was truly creditable to him
as an orator and teacher; alter which 5L; C. I
R.Early again ml lrcssed the company in a
short but pointed speech on the education of
children. The company then dispersed feel
ing that it Was good to be there. X.
The Gift Book Business. We copy the fol
lowing from Forney'sH'eckly Press of Aug. 27 :
"The gift-book business, which has sprung
up within the lasfrfour or five years, is pecu
liar to this country, and, from 'its popularity,
has become entitled to be designated an "in
stitution." It was originated by Mr. George
G.Evans, now occupying very extensive prom
ises at 430 Chestnut street, only half a dozen
doors from the publishing office of The P reus.
You buy a book, out of a multitudinous col
lection, including all the new publications of
merit, and with each book receive a gift, vary
ing in value from 50 cents to $110. In the last
six month, between two and three hundred
gold and silver watches have thus been distrib
uted, and over $2j0,000 worth of jewelry. . He
hare seen the receipts for money paid for wat
ches and jewelry, by Mr. Evans, since Christ
mas, and they cbffvberate this statement to the
fullest. No more than a dollar is paid for a
dollar book yet a gift is presented with each
purchase. Mr. Evans, who is not connected
with any other house, in Philadelphia or New
York, buys books cheaply for cash, and in
such large quantities that the discounts he re
ceives are great. Moreover, he is himself an
extensive publisher, judiciously "spreading
himself," in that line, also, with first-class
books. He is .'Ibel for

tablishment, No. 433 Chestnut street, I'hiFa.
TiiE Lumber Business in Maine. Lumber
ing, it is believed, will not bo prosecuted as
extensively in Maine the coming winter as in
previous years, owing to the high rate of
"stump.ige" charged by tho proprietors of
timber lands. Stumpage is the tax charged
to operators upon the amount of timber cut
and in Maine is regulated by the market price
of lumber ; at St. John, N.B. it is now S3 per
ton for timber, and $5 to $G per M for logs.
For some years it has been slowly advancing,
until it has become so high as to render lum
bering a more hazardous and less profitable
business than ever, and many who have opera
ted largely in Maine for years past, are now
prospecting in the forests of New Brunswick,
where the rates are far less onerous, though
the timber is not as good as in Maine, and the
facilities for driving logs less ample.
Significant. In the late speech of Hon.
John Hickman at West Chester, filled,as usual,
with bold and nervous thoughts, he took occa
sion to litter the following significant sentences:
"As far as I individually am conccrr.ed.there
can be no fraternity In the Democratic party
until the last spark of political life shall be
crushed cut of tho Lecomptonite; and the
best way to kill him is to exclude him from
office. We may not bo able to elect men
whom wo would prefer, but we can certainly
cause defeat to a faithless enemy ; ard such a
defeat will be by no means unimportant. It
will indicate a salutary lesson, and by remov
ing bad principles from the niaiket may cause
a demand for good ones."
A correspondent at Fort Laramie, Nebras
ka, in the course of a business letter to the
editor of the Delaware County Republican;
gives the following as the prices of various ar
ticles at that place: "Flour is selling at 25
cents per pound, sugar 50 cents, pilot bread
3-3 cents, soap 10 Cents, New York prison
whiskey $10 a $12 per gallon, rice SO cents
per pound, and every thing else in proportion.
The price of Height puts everything we use
at hisrh fisures. Government navs SSfl nor

Rowdyism in Baltimore has reached such a
height, and the authorities seem so powerless
to repress it, that the citizens hare called a
public meeting to take such Measures as may
bo necessary to preserve tho public peace.
The latest notable incident in the reign of
rowdyism was the attack, by one of the noto
rious blackguards of the city, upon an editor
n an omnihus. The latter shot the rowdy in
irJmttack?' SUCCessfull-v defending himself

The English papers announce the destruc
tion by earthquake, on the 2d of June, of the
ancient city of Erzroom, in Turkish Armenia.
According to official returns, 380 dead bodies
had been taken from the ruins, and about 200
wounded. Over 2000 houses were laid in ru
ins, 1500 nearly destroyed, andsomo 1200 oth
ers injured. Shocks, more or less severe,
were felt at intervals during eight consecutive
days. It is a singular fact that the destruc
tion was almost entirely confined to the Mos
lent quarters of Jhe "city, and only twelve
Christians lost their lives.
A negro boy was kidnapped in Cincjpnntti,
on the 20th, taken to a sawdust room in an
engine house, hand cuffed, and then taken to
the Kentucky shore, and lodged in Covington
jail. He was ferreted out by his lriends and
returned to them. Officers Slater and Leou
ard, of the Cincinnati police, are implicated
in the kidnapping of the lad, who was a resi
dent of that city, as is Deputy U. S. Marshal
Butts of Kentucky. The parties will be held
to answer. The Gazette says there is great
excitement about this outrage.
There is some excitement at Lafayette, Indi,
in consequence of the disappearance of Mr.
Palton, of the firm of Johnson & Palton, of
that city. He left some three weeks ago with
