(arum desire to have all back subscriptions
settled up by the tittle above stated, and all
%%he do not call and settle or remit their
subscriptions will be charged two dollars
(rad fifty cents. They have an opportunity
now to save fifty cents, will they do it? This
notice is intended to apply to those only
who are in arrears, and we do not wish any
subscriber to take offence at it, but if he
owes the printer, is a friend to the Dom-
Nur and its principles and desires to sec

to the Captain's office (asking no questions
t'urther than "what's the amount of my
bill") and "folk over." Those who have
too great a distance to walk will please re
mit by mail, in a registered letter, and we'll
be willing to take the risk of a safe delivery.
The time has gone by when papers could be
printed and trusted:ant year after year. We

gentlemen, do not leave us be dimappointed.
We don't only want oufmoney, but we:want
to renew our acquaintance, besides better
ourmalf by your:visite to give you a
larger and better paper. We think we hear
onie one at the door—down goes the pen.
Impeachment.
According to reports from Washington
the President would file his answer to the
articles of impeachment on Monday last.
Then, the managers, on the part of the
House would file their replication. When
this replication is put in, it was expected
that the President's counsel would ask for
longer time to prepare. At the time of go
ing to press there is no news from Waking•
ton on these questions, but his believed that
the foregoing is substantially the programme

Death of lion. John P. Glass.
We regret to learn that the Hon. John
P. Glass, Speaker of the last House of Rep
resentatives, died at his home in Pittsburg
on Sunday. The deceased was well known
throughout the State, and during his Leg

sonal deivrtment, made many frien , li, who
will receive with sorrow the sad tidings of
his death.
SKELETON Or A MAN FOCND IN VIE
Woops.—On Monday or Tuesday of last
week, says the Pottsville Stas(Eurci, a party
of men or boys, while out gunning near
Raub's, in the neighborhood of Ringtown,
disoovered the skeleton of a man. Ho ap
peared to be well dressed, having on new
soots, good clothing, eta. About his clothes
were found a prayer book, a pistol, some
keys, three clay pipes, and a watch chain.
When found he was lying on a declivity;
above him were his hat and overcoat. A
Coroner's jury was ompannoled, who, after
viewing the case, came to the conclusion
that ho was one of the party who, about a
year ago, attacked the house of Mr. Henry
Rapp, near the plam above mentioned,
where Mr. Johnson was killed, and Mr.
Itapp severely wounded. It is supposed
from circumstantial evidence, that this man,
after being shot by Johnson left the main
body of assailants and took to the woods,
(he being tracked in that direction for some
distance,) tying a handkerchief (which was
found on him) around his body to prevent
the blood from dropping, and thus enable
his pursuers to track him. Persons living
in the neighborhood had often noticed the
effluvia, peculiar to a dead body long expo
sed, but could net account for it. Remark
able to state, the skin was in a good state of
preservation, but everything else, save the
bones was decayed. The body was lying
twenty yards from the Mad, and had, it is
supposed, boon lying there sines the 21st of
last March, nearly a year ago. His remains
wore buried on the root.

c'A■ Expo'Mos.,'
The ColtnnUanUrne out on Friday morn
ing last, containing an article under the
above caption, attempting to explain to the
voters of Bloom township how the Demo
°retie ticket was formed, which start. out by
asserting that "it has been the custom for
the Democrats to meet in the office of the
Register and form a ticket to be supported
by the citizens of Bloom township who agree
with them." To our reoollootion "It was
the eastern" to meet in what was known as
the Democratic: Reading Rooms, first start
ed in Uniumit's brick building, and after
wards removed to the rooms over Miller's
store which were occupied at the same time
by WESLEY WIRT and C. G. BARKLEY,
Escre., as a Law office. At these rooms
the Democrats of the township regularly
met for years and made their nominations,
and since the abandonment of this Demo
cratic Reading Association, which is a little
over a year, there has been no regular place
of meeting. The ticket last spring (by the
way which was more than one-half mongrel
ised) mu formed at the Register's office.
That fact is not disputed.
This spring, on the evening of the 3d of
March, pursuant to notice given, a large and
respectable number of Democrats attended
a meeting in the office of BARKLEY and
IKELER, Ears., and formed a ticket,—two
weeks before the meeting was held in the
Register's office. It would seem that the
men who met in the Register's office took
up or agreed upon the same ticket thit was
formed in the office of BARKLEY and IKE
LER, with but two exceptions, viz: they left
off the name of A. J. Ev.tss, a Democrat,
for School Director, and substituted that of '
1141. PEACOCK, a Conservative (Republican)
in his stead ! and for Constable, they put up
the name of 3fretraet, WALTER in place of
William F. Bonnie who was on the first
regularly formed ticket. This last difference ,
did not appear after the time of voting had I
arrived. In place of the name of 3lr. WAL
TER, that of Mr. BODINE appeared on their
ticket for Constable, thus making the Reg
ister's office selections conform with the
ticket put in nomination some two weeks
and more previous to the election, with but
one exception, and that was, as above stated,
the name of a Conservative in place of a
DEMOCRAT !
The nominations made aom, fourteendays
before the meeting held in the Register's
office, could not have been made and cir
culated with any other intent and design
but to defeat the regularly nominated Rad
ical candidates. It is very presumptuous
and impolitic on the part of the Co/untldan
to insinuate anything to tho contrary, while
it was supporting the same men/
As to the fiends raised to print the ticket
formed in the Register's office, we have only
to say that, we saw nothing of it, neither
WWI the ticket brought to our office request
ing us to print it. if the meeting, in which
our interests were so well taken care of, had
done its whole duty, would not it have ap
pointed a committee or have delegated some
person to see the printer in reladon to print
ing tickets? This was not done. A ticket
was put in writing by Capt. 8., Capt. B.
agreed that Mr. JAconr should print the
tickets, (bow magnanimous?) a ticket was
presented by Mr. IxxLza to Capt. IL, in
the hand-writing of Capt. 8., Capt. B. also
refused to print any ticket except the one
settled on by the meeting held by Capt. B.
for that special purpose, and yet Capt. B.
(lid print the same ticket, with one excep
tion, and thus saved the funds Capt. B.
proposed to give us, if we would print it
with the name of ono Democrat lea than
was originally put upon the ticket!
The first meeting was hold on the 3d in
stant at which a full ticket was nominated,
and the second meeting convened in the
Register's office on the 17th. This being
the fact, we would ask which meeting
changed the ticket, with the intent and 6e
sign to throw victory into the hands of the
Radicals ? Certainly not the meeting that
convened on the 3d. As to the attendance
at these meetings, we are reliably informed
by a gentleman who was at both, that the
number of persons at BARI:11.T and hut-
LEICS office was much the largest, although
an invitation may not have been extended
to all who call themselves Democrats iu this
town.
RED TAPL—lted Tape has often been
burlesqued, but we doubt if a more extreme
case was ever recorded than the following,
etedited to the English War Department:
"There is a tradition, said to be . historical,
concerning a clerk in the war office who
once wanted a peg whereon to bang his hat.
To save the expenses of a carpenter ho ap
plied for a hammer and a nail, with which
to drive it in himself. Six months passed
before ho received an answer to his request,
and he had long and set up a peg of his
own, when a special messenger from the
Tower arrived in tall Mall with a hammer
sent to him at last through the medium of
numberless requisitions and authorizations.
At the some time he was informed that it
was not of the war officials to supply nails,
but that these would come to him from
Woqlwhich, and after a few months' further
waiting, they really did arrive—a pound of
nails, brought by a great ambulance wagon,
with its half dozen horses and its dozen at
tendants."

occurred on Saturday morning last, to a
young married woman named Rebecca Mel
lon employed as a domestic in the family of
A. B. Croup, of Briarereek township, this
County, by the explosion of a coal oil lamp.
It appears she arose very early on Saturday
morning, in order to complete her work and
toilet preparatory to a visit to her friends.
She lit the lamp and placed it on the win•
dow, when it immediately exploded, igniting
her drew►. In a moment she was enveloped
in flames. Her screams aroused the &wily,

MARRIED.
On the I9th instant, by the Rev. Wm. J.
Eyer, Mr Peter Levan, to Mrs. Anne 11 'ill
both of Roaringereek Township.
DIED,
In 31ifflinville, Columbia County, onMon
day, the 23d instant, suddenly, Charles H.
Hem, Esq., aged about 57 years.
Mr. Hese was prominently known by the
people of thin county, having been elected
to important positions in his Township and
County on repeated occasions. In all busi
ness transactions ho was upright and just,
and through careful attention to agricultural
and other pursuits ho amassed a cont.ideni
ble amount of property. He died suddenly
and very unexpected, at his residenoe, not
having mnplained of feeling ill but a very
short time. He had just returned from a
neighboring store, where he had been trad
ing, and full dead in his yard before reach
ing the door of his dwelling. his said he
did not stir nor speak after he fell. He
leaves a wife, a number of children, and a
large circle of relatives and friends to mourn
his sudden demise. "Verily, in the midst
of life we are in death."
In Benton township, March 17th, 1868,
John McHenry, Sr., in the 83d year of his
age.
The subject of the above notice was born
at Still Water, Fishingereek township, Co
lumbia county, and is believed to have been
the first white male child born in the valley
of Fishingcrftk, above Orangeville. He is
the last of nix brothers, all of whom were
well known throughout the county. By his
death one more of the links that binds the
past to the present is broken. These old
people, God bless them, era the living his
tories of events long since passed away.
We arc interested in them, because they re
cord events that we cannot well learn else
where, and because we know their testimony
will be soon closed up and sealed from us
forever.
Having been acquainted with the ride and
woods from his boyhood, ho became, like
Nimrod of old, a "mighty hunter before
the Lord," and thousands of deer as well
as bears, wolves, and other wild animals
have fallen by his unerring aim. He was
so well acquainted with the woods that lati
tude and longitude seemed to be a natural
instinct; hence, wherever he hunted, whether
on his own native hills or in the vast and
intricate wilds of the mountains, he was never
at a loss to know how to "strike his course"
for home. His extensive forest experience
made him versed in "hunting stories," and
nothing gave his children, grand children,
and friends greater pleasure than to listen to
his wild adventures or to join his ringing
laugh at the successful conclusion of some
bold encounter.
But Uncle John is gone ! The rifle of
"The Old Hunter" is silent on the hooks,
and hie pouch and horn unused upon the
peg. Yet long will they be associated in
the minds of his family and many friends
with he who used them so successfully in life.
He was a firm Democrat, a good citizen,
an obliging neighbor, a kind father, a cour
teous gentleman and an honest man. Let
us hope that ho hal gone to enjoy the un
speakable pleasures of that life that shall
never end. • J. 8.
