Herman- Aleicks, Esq., a highly

The Sorth Jlmerietn says : Five
sixth of the young men who aspire to
places in the legislative assemblies have
eg higher ambition, when they get
there, than to "speechify." The re
maining sixth desire to make tbf wselvcs
Beful, and to them speechmating is
incidental. Hut tho speeches that out
live the efforts of utterance almost
wholly proceed from the latter class."
A H ARRKBrRQ correspondent of
Col. Forney's Press, writing of the
Jiropoeed increase of salaries of Judges,
states, that $3,000 per annum, is not
as much money as Attorneys in that
cilyj who have respectable practice re
ceive anrnrally. According to the opin
ion of said correspondent aa attorney's
practice must exceede $3,000 before it
becomes respectable. The correspon
dent had better confine himself to wri
ting facts, and not introduce his opin
ions. One of ths most thrilling events,
probably, ever witnessed, in a Supreme
Court room, durirg a session of court,
transpired last W ednesday. Ex-Chief
Justice Thompson while engaged in ar
guing a case before the court terminat
ed his earthly remarks with the word
"Now Then," sat quickly down in a
ohair and leaned his head on bis band
rtic arm of which rested on a table, and
, the next instant reeled and fell from
the chair to the S.r. He was born in
Berks county, in October 1806. He
learned the art of printing, but soon
left it to read law. and reached in that
profession the highest plkce known iu
the State. la hi. lif-' he bad served as a
member of the Legislature, and as a

receive a large percentage of demo

to be no party man. His battle cry is
reform. How nearly he may reach the
coveted place remains to be demon
strated. Mr. McClure's ability cannot
be ignored, and as an organiser he has

Citiztms cf Juntata :
It is now a well established fact that
the liquor men, who are anxious to se
cure the repeal of Local Option, have
adopted secret but energetic meaanres,
well lubricated with money and strong
drink, to accomplish their base designs.
Tbey have already a man in our Legis
lature united to their wishes, wLo lias
submitted a bill of Local Option repeal
to the Senate. Said bill is to be acted
upon on the 22nd inst , Sunday
being Washington's birth day, as if the
business of the liquor traffic bad some
legififfclte connection with the father of
bis coucUy. Let not Washington's
birthday be thus desecrated. . .
Petitions are secretly gotten op to
support this repeat bill aud to secure
its enactment. These petitions are to be
found is the bands of those who have
stearted and Are still sore beneath the
Local Option lasb, under the form of
$50 or $75 fine with the cheering prom
ise from the Court of something better
he fter, to the tune of $500, aud
loc&-cp.
. The writer having some acquaintance
with the petition of repeal, will here
submit its f rm anJ substance in para
phrase as follows :
To the Uonorle Senile S"c. We the
undersigned former . liquor dealers,
drsm driakers and tueir very subservi
ent sympathisers do aver and petition as
follows: Inasmuch as Local Option iu
r.ur opinion las been a failure mainly
on account of our constant and most
bitter opposition to it : and inauiuch
as we former liquor dealcis ardently
wish to make more money by selling
what benefits no one, and injure all;
and inasmuch a we live in constant
dread of deserved prosecution,' fines
and imprisonment; and inasmuch as
dry souls, not a few, are longing for the
old easy way of license to have their
raping thirst queuched ; and uiasmnch
aa we think, that we & Co , have mon

Citiieus of Juniata, friends of order
and humanity, shall the liquor men and
their jrnpatliix;rs have this whole
matter all their own Way ! Has not
Loeal Option been a success wherever
enforced? Has it not in the past nine
months done all we could reasonably
expect ! t an the deep rooted growth of
centuries be overturned in a day I Can
the flawing lava of jEtna or Vesuvius
be stopped in a day 1 Can the monster
intemperance, with its millio i live, at

Let ns have 3, 6 or 9 jears of Local
Option, send a score or two of its vio
lators to the Penitentiary, get the clos
ed eyes of dram suckers cpened, and
better days will befin to dawn. Then
give ns, at least, 20 years of universal
prohibition, and Paradise will begin to
be restored.
Are we Americans capable of colli

drunkness an indispensibie element in
American civilization and progress 1
Let not these thing be said to our dis

Now what should re do 1 There is
but one answer maintain tht Local

Absolutely pnre iron is said to have been
prered by a Russian chemist by means of
the galvanic baUery. During the process a
large quantity of hydrogen wa disergaged
from the ordinary iron used. The pure
iron is a silvnr-white metal, very malleable
and ductile, and so o!t a to be readily cnt
with a paj of scisaor. It oxidise rapidly,
and water i drcompoed by it with the
rapid absorptioa of oxygen.
Some careful experiment have been
made recently on the comparative yield of

Me. JonSsos VVHrTif.. the Crier of
the Court in Butler county, was, on the
20th nit., the receiprent of a "supper"
by the judges and lawyers of Butler,
during which the 'Squire was present
ed with an entire new suit of clothes.
Various speeches were uiadej all bear
ing testimony to Mr. White a "an
honest man, the noblest work of God,"
and to the fact that he was "always a
gentleman." A single fact, mentioned
by one of the speaker, illustrated
Squire While's regaid for the feelings
of ethers; that was, that 00 a certain
occasion when be was a gul at the
table of a friend the boiled' eggs served
him happened to be "bad eggs" when
he broke them, bat with a delicate re
gard for the feelings of bis . host and
hostess-, aud that tbey might see or
know nothing of the matter, he Steal
loietd the eggs, bad as they were. This
and much more was told to the credit of
Squire White, and the occasion alto
gether was one of hilarity ot many
pleasant incidents, and one ever to be
remembered by all present. '.
Miss Grundy-, in a letter from
Washington, has this: "Mrs. Sprague
tells this about her oldest boy : One
day lately at the breakfast table Sena
tor Sprague saiJ to his sod, 'You must
understand, my boy, that you are the j
son of a poor man, and will have your
own way to make in the world. 1 have
fifty cents in my pocket, not a cent
more, so after breakfast i thiak I'll
take you out ad get a boot blacking
apparatus for you You Uaust learn to
black your own boots like a poor man's
sou, yon know ' The little fellow list
sued intently, then said : 'Well, papa,
can't I blaek your boots and save you
something V Ob, certainly, if you
wish,' bis falter answered. After
breakfast the investment was made.
The next morning the enterprising
yonsgster rose at daylight, and before
anybody was up aud could interfere,
had blacked every boot and shoe iu the
Snraifue mansion, including a pair of
his mother's which had been bought
recently for $10, and which, of course,
were utterly ruined."
A LAW SUIT came off in Erie last
week whioh was particularly enjoyable
to the spectators. Mrs. Cavannagb
was arrested at the inatance of Hannah.
Hannah was an adopted child of Mrs.
and the alleged charee was that
Mrs. C. had knocked Hannah down
with a stick of wood and beatber with
a whip. Hannah swore very postively
to the beating, and showed a very
badly marked lace to ptove it. Then
Mr. C's little boy said that he saw
Hannah scratch ber face there with her
hands. Then Mrs. attempted to ex
plain how she bad whipped Hannah for
not doing some work. The-whip was
in the court and Mrs. C. took it to il
lustrate her words. In ber excitement
ehe forgot herself and laid the whip
over the shoulders of her counsel. Mr.
Allen. The appreciative audience
roared with laughter at this practical
demonstration of the woman's whip
ping powers, while the counsel beat a
hasty retreat from Ler immediate
vicinity.
An elderly gentleman, who bas a
large fund of anecdotes, stated to us
an anecdote of Caleb Cntliing which
will bear printing. Some forty years
ago, Mr. C. was paying court to a
wealthy Baltimore lady. Baltimore
ladies then showed their charms in the
light of tallow-dips, gas being unknown.
There were a couple of dips on the
mantlepiece, and, as they much needed
snuffing, the lady rang a bell for a ser
vant Mr. Cbshing, asking why she
rang, wet bis thumb aud Gngcr, and
snuffed the candles a la lankee. The
lady was horrified at Mr. Cushing's
unaristocratio style of suulug candles,
and so dismissed him.
