The Democrat nnJ Register has ceased its uoise, aud, without eveo a parting i-a! us t ion, quite after the fashion of a porpoi?c in a storm, suiks out of sight 'and hearing. The Indeptndent vet present show of defence of the charges it made. Its last article, instead cf supporting and proving its :barges, is almost exclusive ly devoted to a personal tirale on the Country Editor," aud is as complete an indirect confession tbat its charges are not true as can well be presented. A paper that makes a charge and does not sustatu the charge, falls by its own weight iuto disrepute. Tbe last effort . tif tbe Independent was a desperate struggle to get out of its unfortuuate position. It tball be made to prove iu charge. First it charged that the Clerk of the County Commissioners receives eight buodred dollars per jear, salary, and that the Roard of County Commission ers intend to increase it to one thou sand dollars. The public is interested . iu the declaration and is desirous of knowing bow true it is, for the Com missioners have-said in their last state ment of Receipts and Expenditures that the Clerk gets six hundred dollars, t ertattiiy do respectable newspaper will publish a statement that declares hat tbe published statement of the Board of Commissioners is not true, utiles it knows that what it publishes ia true. 1'uder the hjad of "Corcmis- Office and Court Kouse" the Commissioners say tbat tbe Clerk gets fit hundred .dollars per year as a sal ary. The Independent aaja the Clerk gets eight hundred" dollars and is to have a thousaod dollars the next year. There is a monstrous falsehood out here among the parties, and the coloring I vi th case is against toe Jndepen-Jenl, J uunarea uouars lor uavmg menu a Tor but week it abaudnned .that charge j speech printed in a fellow printer's pa aud pounded the '-Country Editor" lot i per- He had not the remotest idea advising tbat if the charge is not tree 1 hen be requested bis brother journal tbe Board of .

Were we to publish each e charge legal proceedings might be ex pected to begin iu lees than 24 hoar aftir the-issue of. tile publication. If the Independent is eorrect, the Commw ioner ahculd be proceeded against immediately. If it baa slandered that body, it should be made to recant, or answer for it in the courts. It is a fli. -..v, ,,. - cv.rs. it :t is not true. It la dee to tbe puui.c that the Comniinntoucrs vindicate them selves, and vindicate tbe good name of the county from this charge. It is proper that the vindication be made .-r r.ki; v.,a I by election, lo November. The second' charge of that paper was cot against the Commissioners but against tbe " Country Kdttor," the writer of this article, and was that be bad failed to publish articles for tbe good of the Republican party that bad been wiittcn by Independent people and c ff. red to btiu f-r publication. We have already, in a former issue, stated that oue article from a writer on that paper was presented us fjr publication, aud that we refused it on the ground tba it was libelous and that there was no responsibility to support it, and of- fored $" for every article that is re- spec-table and Ct for publication that wss calculated to help tbe Republican party, that was cfiered us and I ejected Tbe Independent Ins not come forward to make good the charge and take the reward. It dropped the charge last week. W( ask the highly exalted ( brhuian gentleman of that paper to come forward and make good the charge. Tbe reward be cau give to the Sabbath School that, be trumpets has honored him so highly. Our check will be hon ored by either of the Ranks in this place (or that amount. I iUD iuiiu vu.igg ui lull .ofci i" also delivered against the " Country Editor." and is that a barfs io and sale exists between him and some other manJ not mentioned io regard to the county 1 C. E. Courtney' ran a scull race at printing. There is no truth io the Saratoga, some days since, a distance charge, whatever. It is as clean a lie M three miles, io 13 minutes and 301 as the Devil ever persuaded a professed seconds. Christian to tell. ( The eontents of tbe stomach of a It is not the edi;or of the Indepen woman in Raymond, N. II., was ana dent who has been personally attacked, lyscd on the 25th and strychnine found Tbe charges juat mentioned may be in it. Mr. Magoon, the dead lady's found io bis psper and is conclusive busbaud, and a lady friend have been evidence who the party is that has been put under arrest, on tbe suspicion of personally assai'ed. We did say that j having bad something to do wtth the the man who makes such charges and poisoning. knows that he cannot sustain them, if a j Judge 3hipnian, of New York, of professed Christian, is a Pharisee. If that is a personal charge, we repeat it. We say that tbe man who makes such charges as aborc stated, knowing them to be untrue, or will not prove them to j jf be wJj j d to, and wben off: red a reward to pro- duce the evidence, is a better l'barisce tbao tfa'.ao wishes btm to be, and is doing more service for the kingdom of tbe lost '.ban be is doing for tbe kingdom of tbe blessed. The man wbo does such things knowingly, cannot be washed clean by church or school. Tbe Independent gets down behind the church aud Sabbath-school, and sends out a piteous whining cry of good standing there, instead of proving its charges The church and the school canuot help tbat journal uuleps they can prove or make good its charges. We are the party who have been per sonally attacked, and we call cn the church and the school that the Inde- pendent appeals to for whitewash in this case, to come forward and make these charges good if it can. Since the In dependent goes within its fold for pro tection, we ask it to da justice by csusing it to prove its charges, or take them back, w e will give one hundred dollars to the Sabbath-school that bas dispensed its honors on the beiug that the Independent pointed out, if it prorea the charges made in tbat paper. Our check will be honored by either of the Rauks in this place for tbat amouut. Outside of the personal onslaught tf last week, the Independent delivered itself on two questions. First, it eensures ns because we did not furnish it with proof slips of the Sheriff's Proclamation, and alleges tbat our conduct was not dignified and manly as between publishers. Wben we re ceive an advertisement for publication it is not our custom to give it to other publishers for publieatiou nulesa we are authorized to do so by the parties wbo advertise. To our recollection we hae never refused to give that office whatever we have been authorized to give it, either by private or public ad vertisers. e do not recollect that we were authorized to give tbe Inde pendent tbe SuerilT Proclamation last fall by either thr Sheriff or Commis sioner. Br friving it without, such an authorisation we could have been beld j ! personally for the payment of what ever we would have given it for publi cation. We could name an editor wbo as compelled to pay upwards of one j I i , , t . r : : 3 . We eonhl not with safety to ourselvea have given it a cop j for publioatiow, for we hal dot been authorised to do to. If the Independent or Democrat etuf Rtgia ttr were to eall to-daj and ask for a eopy of as; of oar advertisements for publicities, w would Dot 'give it a o leas w knew that the advertisers o de- faired a te do. ' To eat the ieaat of the fodtptndrnt'i position on that point, it ia ailly. - The seoond question raited by tb InJtpmdenl, aside 'front iU personal tirade, is something about a post master. In a conversation with a past master, who is getting a portio i of bi living from tbe office be holds under the Na tional Republican party, whose princi ples as J good men we bare been de fending from bitter assaults from such papers as tbe Independent from as saults as the following, wb.ch was pub lished in that paper last week : ' "The county newspapers in Pennsylvania are filled with notice ot eberiff'a sales. More melancholy reading matter was never printed. It is Ui csJcwsc aad final cAas- .ww -. i .J.'.. u kuik rkukn. lii.arf. Bu ; mofrfkaaly ou rich and poor.'' We did say that it is not tbe proper course for such officials to throw all of tbeir patronage, or tbe greater part of it, if they have asy, iuto Democratic journals we added that if each eases J were reported to headquarters they would most likely result ia removal from tffice. In thus talking to the post master, we only related to him j wbat was tbe fact or custom years ago, among all parties. Indeed snub has been the custom time oat of date, and is the custom to day tbe world over, and will be tbe custom so long as gov- eminent exists among men. It is a custom in every organtxation, in church and State, for officials of tbe respec- tive organisations and even private peo pie to give the bulk of tbeir patronage to tbe men who are struggling ou tbe outer walls and battling for tbe cause tbat these men profess to adhere to and enjoy office under. Tbat may be told in church or Stbbath-scbool at any time when no other busiuess engages the attention. Tbat paper, tinder its remarks of espousal of the postmaster, outrages its own position, for at this time ae know of no paper that works as perseveringly under the rule which it objects to, as tbe Independent.

The Johnstown Tribune, of tbe 25th nU.t8aT,: Que of the most terrible accidents that ba fallen to our lot to record for a long time occurred at tbe woolen mill of tbe Johnstown macn factsring company, Woodvale, at 101 o'clock this forenoon. Mr. Jobu M. Reecher, boss carder in tbe factory, was engaged in cleaning the cytiudcrof a burr picker, when his fingers got caught between it and the fan under neath, and the result was that bis right arm was drawa through until his Lead abd shoulders stopped further progress, and be fell back minus the arm just at the sLunlder joait.

Another employee was standing in tbe vault at tbe rear of tbe machine when this terrible accident bappened, but as the burr fan runa at tbe rate of nearly sixteen hundred revolutions per j minute, be bad. barely time to notice tbat the uufortunate victim bad been caught wben tbe arm bad passed iu its ectire length, and Mr. Reeeher fell back on the floor. A telegram was immediately sent down to tbe office of tbe Cambria Iron Company, and a mes senger was hastily, dispatched for Dr. W. R. Lowman. Tbe sufferer had loet a "great deal of blood, and. tbe first thing neeeeeary was to tt?p tbe flaw". While tbe surgeon was tying np oae of tbe, principal arteries the other was held by Mr. Bates, and in a short time tbe bleeding 'was stopped.

At 3 a. ni. be took some coffee., At this time the tide turned northward, aud Webb ap peared exhausted. His trainer stripped aud held himself in readiness to go to Webb's assistance, but Webb laugh ingly declined tbe proffered aid. At this time be was still keeping Cpapaoe of twentv strokes per minute.
