SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFUNTOWN. Wedacadar. HoTennb'r Is), MT B. F. SCHWKIEK, rnrroa r-sopairroa. Hartraaft for the Presidency in 1876. The Republican State Convention of August, 1874, that convened and trsos acted ita business at llarnsburg, pre tented Governor John F. Ilartranft ai a candidate for the Presidency in 1876, iu l tie 14ib resolution m follows : That, entertaining the fullest confi dence io the bigb personal integrity, ability, and statesmanship of Governor John F. Ilartranft, we unhesitatingly present hita tt onr Republican friends throughout lire Union as candidate for nomination to the Presidency in 187G. His blaoteka and eiatted char acter as a men, tis extraordinary abil ity as an administrative office, the parity of bis erivate and pablie life, nl his pfa4id record as a sol dier, all commend him to an enthusias tic aud hearty wpport for a position rM-h be is to well -qualified to adorn." sYbat was declared wy the above res olution by tbe Republican State Con vection of this Ceavnonwealth is being re-ecUoed from almost every State in the Uuioo. Already Governor Hirt ranft is looked upon by large bodies of Republicans throughout ' tbe country, Berally, as among tbe fittest men fur the Presidential candidacy in 1876- The tsa that have been applied .o biui fcave al' been of tbe most crutial kind, and be baa stood them in auch a man ner thit the highest satisfaction is ex pressed. The country will rally under bis banoer in 1876 with as much, in deed more, enthusiasm and confidence ( than under that of any other public can in the country. He possesses many of the sterling qualities of tbe lamented Lincoln, and no man leaves his presence with other feeling or im pression than that be is a man of tbe keenest discernment and best inten tious. Give the country Ilartranft for tfce Presidency in 1876, and Republi canism, or Northern civiliaation will again triumph and be placed a an en- j daring but. Throcohout this country there are tuany people who believe In tbe lay-ing-on of bands," commonly called "pow- wowing," as a remedy or cure for certain diseases or ailments, and those who practice it are supposed to possess some power unknown to tbe public wind that is derived from Deity to assist them in the practice of curing by the method spoken of. A physician in Reading, this State, has been " pow wowing," or " laying on hands," for mauy diseases, but be does not ascribe it to any supernatural power delegated bio. lie eays it U nothing more or less than ''animal magnetism," and that in every case wherein disease has not tto far wrecked tbe patient, and at caa tuafcelimself felt aud get tbe eotire confidence of tbe eick one. a chapgo is rapidly wrosght on tbe patient. A party of vYashingtonians, feeling cheerful over tbe elections, marched in procession to -the White House and cheered tbe President. He soon appear ed and acknowledged tbe compliment thus Gentlemen: I am very glad to meet you on this occasion and to con gratulate yon on as good a cause for rejoicing to tbe entire country over the election of last Tuesday. While tbe Republican ru tjorities were not great, (hey were sufficient to accomplish the purpose. Tbe "rag baby" has been entirely suppressed, and the people now know what kind of money they are to have in tbe future, and I think we have an assurance that tbe Republicans will control this government for at least four years longer. . m Hon. Samcel Randall, of Phila delphia, is highly complimented by Southern newspapers. They say, " he is so much like Southern men, in bis style, bis manners." These Randal! straw show which way tbe wind blows. He is to tbe Speaker of tbe Lower House of Congress. The Southern men will be for him, and the Northern Dem ocrats, as of old, will not dare to say no. The plaus are made, and it is scarcely possible that they can mis carry, and that alter tbe meeting of Congress it wiirte proper to siy, There is many a slip Between the cup and the lip." Wiu. tbe Congress of tbe L'uited States aeeord to the Cuban iurargents belligerent rights, and if such rights are accorJed will it be followed by a war with Spain and other European powers ? are questions that are now discussed by many people about the chief cities of the country. e- Tuerc are eighty-seven confederates and twenty six Union soldiers in tbe Jxiwer House of Congress. Tbe intel ligent reader needs no more than that to convince him how much there is in the Democratic cry of military ring ur 0 espouses. Tnx incoming Congress, which was elected in 1874, will be free trade, and will in all probability develope a parcle f measures that will course many of the men who helped to put it there to ' "pee their eyes and say, Can such things be !"

Of course tbe uppermost topic of eoover ration among tbem was tbe election of llarlraoft. One bright light suggested as there are report of fraudulent voting, the ease bad better be exam ined. Hon. Brufe Petriken, of Hunt ingdon, represented tbe Juniata region, and, it is reported, was qnite animated over the question, almost as much -so as on the evening following the organ ization of tbe Senate of a few years ago, when certain Philadelphians fired a salute through the transom of bis room at tbe hotel, which so inspired him that be exclaimed Hell's broke loose and Tbe devils are ail here. Report does not say that he wis extrav agaut in poetical quotations last week, but he is reported to have been quite urgent on the raising of money to fee lawyers with to institute an investiga tion. Fees are fees, business is busi ness, is the argument of many iu the legal profession. It is not charged that tbe Philadelphia meeting was animated by such a motive. It is bard to tell what the mainspring of its action was. If tbey are after frauds at the polls, there is township io this county whete frauds were perpetrated in the interest of tbe Democracy, and which while they are at it should not be overlooked. Mr. Petriken had no need to gJ to the city to look up cases of unfair work ; be may fiud tbem iu tbe country. Here is another case in the country, at Wilkesbarre, and is rendered thus by tbe Harrisburg Telegraph ; "Tbe official count is developing some attempts at fraud on the part of the Democrats, of the boldest and auost desperate character and suspicion pointed so strongly to Protboaotary j Trimmer as being implicated in tbe work that the court last evening direc ted the returns to be taken from his office and custody altogether and locked in tbe safe in the commissioner's office, I and deputed a constable to stand guard over tbe safe until court meets again ' tbis morning. j In tbe court yesterday it was shown that at least a dozen returns were tam pered with, the evidence of the changes made being most flagrant. During Wednesday night the returns were largely tampered with and mate rially changed it is known that a cum ber were removed to tbe Exchange hotel, where Prothonntary Trimmer boards, where, as the evidence attests, tbey were manipulated by bands which hare left tbe peculiar impress of a Bea mish. Io one particular district an en tire new tally list and return were made, the names of tbe election officers forged to tbem, in which the figures were ma terially changed." These frauds have been perpetrated with the object of "counting out" sev eral Republicans who were eleotej to important county tffices. The discov ery by tbe court of these evidences of fraud may frustrate tbe attempt. We sincerely hope it may. Tbis is tbe means resorted to by tbe Democracy that party which claims all tbe honesty of tbe couutry to defeat tbe will of the people as expressed at tbe ballot box. "TllE Jewish Chronicle, speaking of tbe cosmopolitan character of Freema sonry, and alluding to it as being a beautiful illustration of tho principle of brotherly lovo, says that the first Ma sonic lode baa just been organized in Jerusalem.

Catholic trouble! over tbe Bible in Newtown, Conn., are related- by an eastern exchange in this way : New town baa a very large Catholic popula tion," and though tbe Protestants are slightly in the majority, tbey are chiefly old settlers, and of the fcrty-seven children attending school thirty are Catholics. About two years ago the Rev. Father M'Cartin went from New Haven to N-wtowo, and there found a Catholic teacher taking charge of tbe school. Tbat was satisfactory to Father M'Car tin. Monday, October 1 1, was tbe first day of tbe cutrent term, and Mr. Ar thur Day, jr., son of a New Haven Baptist minUter, took cearge of the school. On Wednesday, October 13, the school bell rung at the usual hour, and after tbe children had assembled Father McCartin entered and saluted Mr. Day. The teacher invited hiia to take bis seat, but tbe clergyman declined and sat down among tbe children. Mr. Day read a portion of the Scriptures, aud was about to begin the repetition of the Lord's prayer, but Father McCartin interrupted bini to a-k him by what authority he read the Bible in the pub lie school. Mr Day replied tbat be was author ized by the Board of Education to open the scho l as he bad done, and the priest said there waa no law to support him in such a course. Hot words fol lowed, and Mr.. Day says tbat Father McCartin called him a liar tcice. Fi nally the clergyman addressed himself to tbe Roman Catholic children and de sired them to pay no attention to tbe Scriptures if tbe teacher should .read tbem in future, but to go on with their studies, adding that if Mr. Day should punish tbem he would expect tbem to complain to hiui. He then went out, and Mr. Day fol lowed him to the door and told hiiu tbat be was master of tbe school, and in tended to carry it out as be bad been authorised to do, and would not permit any interfeience. If Father McCartin interrupted the opening services again, be said he would put him out by force if necessary. Tbe clergyman replied contemptu ously, and Mr. Day, going back to bis desk, repeated the Lord's prayer as usual. Later in the day be spoke to members of the Board of Education and to several other influential men of the district, and was encouraged to read the Scriptures and repeat tbe Lord's prayer on cpening tbe school. In the evening be called upon Father McCar tin and told him what bad been said in relatior tj tbe reading of the Bible. Tbe Father, Mr. Day says, seemed to acquiese, and raid be would not inter fere again. There was no further trouble tbat week, and on Saturday, October 16, the Board of Education passed tbe fol lowing: Rewired, That it la perfectly proper for any teacher of a pub'ic school in this town to open school by reading the Bible without note or comment, and to preserve order while exercising auch right. Aar interlir ence therewith would be an intrusion." On Friday, October 22, when Mr. Day was about to open school be no ticed tbat the shutters bad been opened in the night by cutting away the fasten ings, and that bis Bible bad been stolen from bis desk. He sent to bis boose, procured another book, and read a por tion of Scripture as usual. Tbat even ing the leaves of the stolen Bible were found scattered along tbe road near his bouse. - On Monday last a climax was reach ed. When Mr. Day arrived at tbe school bouse he noticed that the chil dren in the playground weie not play ing together as usual. Tbe Catholics bad separated from tbe Protestants and were playing alone. When they en tered tbe school house the former at once began to study, paying no atten tion to the Scripture which Mr. Day was reading. The teacher desired them to lay aside tbeir books, and tbey asked leave to withdraw. Mr. Day told them they could go if tbey wished, but tbat all wbo remained must attend to tbe opening services. AH tbe Cath olic children then weLt out and tbe school was opened io the ordinary way. Soon afterward Father McOattin en tered with the Catholic children. After they bad taken their scats he told them, as before, that when the Bible was read in tbeir bearing tbey must pay no at tention to it, but go on with their studies. Mr. Day said be would not allow any man to interfere with bis con duct of tbe school as authorised by tbe Board of Education ; therefore be de sired Father McCartin to go out of the room Tbe Father eonticned to speak to the children without seeming to bear the teacher. Tben Mr. Day approach ed him and said if he did not withdraw be would eject bim forcibly. Father XcCartin is a large, powerful Irishman, aboat thirty-five years of age ; Mr. Day a somewhat delicate and com paratively small New Englander, much younger. Hence, when tbe priest de fied the teacher to lay bands on bim, few of tbe studenU doubted wbat tbe results of a personal encounter would be. Nothing daunted by the physical advantages of bis opponent, however, Mr. Diy proceeded to put bis threat into execution. ' Father Mc"artm struck at his assail ant as bs approached, but dexterously stopping tbe blow, Mr. Day closed with bin. A vigorous scuffle ensued in tbe school room, the children looking on appalled. Tbe schoolmaster forced tbe prieit toward the door, aud with sudden and nnexpeeted exertion of strength thrust bim down tbe steps. Father McCartin fell, splitting his trou sers at tbe knees, tearing his clerical coat, and besoiiing bis person generally in Newtown dust. Tbe spectacle of the fallen clergy man demoralized tbe children of both persuasions. The door waa occupied by tbe combatants, so taking the only means of egress left to them, they es caped through the windows and fled to their homes. But Father McCartin was not era quered. He arose infuriated, and again at taeke J the teacher. Tbe latter thrust him back, and at that niomeot several stalwart supporters of tbe clergyman arrived wiib tbe evident intention of wreiking vengeance upon Mr. Day. 1 he teacher was in a critical position, but be was not discouraged. He told tbem that be bad ouly asserted bis un doubted right, and tbat they would get into trouble if they molested him. In short, he "held tbe foe in play" until a party of bis own friends arrived. Tben the combat was with some difficulty prevented from becoming general. At last tbe rival factions dispersed, but tbe school was closed that day, for the chil dren could not be induced to return. On Tuesday morning a mob collected around tbe school house, and a; first hindered Mr. Day from opening it. Mr. Diteman, the school "committee," see ing the state of affairs, went to look for tbe Sheriff'. In bis absence Mr. Day opened tbe door, and called the chil dren in. He proceeded to open school by reading tbe Bible, aud lusisted on eveiy one laying aside books and at tending. Tbe demonstrations from the people outside then became so threat tiling tbat tbe clerk of the district, chief officer in the absence of tbe -'committee," ordered tho teacher to allow tbe Catholio children to pursue tbeir studies wbile the Bible was being read. Mr. Day bad no choice but to obey, and a resolution passed a few hour afterward by tbe Board of Education made the order perpetual. Fublic opinion in Newtown is unques tionably in favor of Mr. Day, for though probably all tbe Catholics and some of the Protestants congratulate Father McCartin upon his victory, the mijority of tbe people think tbat Ibe concession wrung from tbe Board of Education is only preparatory to the total abolition of Bible reading in tbe school. On Tuesday night, wbile Mr. Day was making some purchases in a store in Newtown, a mob of young men and boys collected outside and insulted bim. They were driven away, but while Mr. Day was on bis way homeward he was made a target for a vo'ley of stories. News Items.

A Binghampton, N. Y.) dispatch of Nov. 1st says : A most distressing drowning accident occurred in tbe Sus quehanna river at Unadilla on Thurs day last, four persons meeting their death, including a bride and groom, who were on tbeir wedding tour. Tbe particulars of the catastrophe are as follows : Maurice and William Good rich, of Worcester, N. Y., were mar ried to aisters in tbat village about a week ago. Tbey were on tbeir way home from tbeir bridal tour, and stop at Unadilla to visit tbe family of Mi. Joseph Morehouse, a miller, whose wife waa a sister of the two brides. Thurs day the bridal party and Mr. and Mrs. Morehouse went out boating on tbe river. A movement of some one of tbe party caused tbe boat to careen to one side, when the ladies sprang in fright to the other side of the boat. Tbis sudden movement caused the very catastrophe ' it was intended to avert, and the boat was eapsixed. throwing the entire party into tbe water, which is very deep at tbat spot. Mr. Morehouse, being an old sailor and an excellent swimmer, at once seized his wile and Mrs. Maurice Goodrich, and would undoubtedly have succeed in saving them bad tbey not lost all presence of mind. Aj it was, tbe ladies wound tbeir arms about Mr. Morehouse, and he was not only unable to give tbem any assistance, bnt was himself dragged to the bottom, and the three were drowned together. Man rice Goodrich, being encumbered with a heavy overcoat, sank in a short time, and shared the fate of tbe other three. William Goodrich bad removed bis overcoat and coat, having been rowing the boat. He was a good swimmer, and at once seized bis wife as ebe ap peared on thj anrface, and by pushing her ahead ot bim, and repeatedly lift ing ber from the water,' succeeded in reaching the store with ber. She grasped bold of a clomp of bushes sad supported herself, wbile ber husband swam rapidly back to render aid to the others, if possible. It was too late, however, as they had all disappeared beneath tbe surface. Tbe news of tbe shocking tragedy spread rapidly thrQUgh tbe village, and hundreds of people turned out to search for the bodies of the drowned persons. Those of Mr. Goodrich and Mr. and Mrs. MureLonso were found the same day near where they sai.k. The body of Mrs. Good rich was not recovered at last accounts. It is feared that the rei-coed bride, Mrs. j William Goodrich, will become insane ; over tbe death of her sister. The two j young ladies were twins, as weri the j Goodrich brothers. Mr. and .Mrs. ' Morehouse leave several children. j At Athenj, Ohio, on the night of the 29th ult., one Krumbsby, a colored man, with bis wife and infant left three ! small children alone, while they started j to town. The bouse took fire, buroins i the children to death. It is supposed 1 to have been caused by the overturning j of a laup by the children. On the SO ih ult. Charles Patterson! shot and killed R. W. Porter, chief j herder of Bosler's cattle on tbe North j Platte, thirty miles north ot Sidney, i Neb., where Patterson was taken under j arrt. Tbe jail was broken into by a uiob of tua-ked men and Patterson strung up to a telegraph pole. The Sheriff overpowed tbe crowd and eut Pat teuton down iu time to save bis life. At 4 o'clock tbe next morning he was again taken out and hung till dead. The Scran ton (Pa ) Times says that it has the best authority for the following singular statement : A lady of ouf city biviug gathered a large quantity of autumn leaves, took tbe more rapid method of pressing tbem with a hot flat-iron. Very soon after her bands and wrists broke out with an eruption of a scalding humor, such as is wit nessed in those cases of erysiptlas known as St. Anthony's fire, and she is I likely to be laid up for some time if no worse results ensue. The leaves were of tbe maple species, and tbe theory is that a volatile oil of a poisonons nature was evolved by the application of heat and obtained access to the circulation through some abrasion of the skin. It is safer, though a slower process, to ; press leaves in a book or between flat boards under a weight. Tbe Harrisburg Telasrraph of last Saturday narrates tbe death of a rail road man, as follows : Tbis morning Frank II. Breoneman, aged about 30 years, who resided in the vicinity of tbe Pennsylvania railroad company's round house, and employed as a track man by tbat company, was struck by engine No. 279, attached to tbe Lewis town accommodation train east, and in stantly killed, about two miles west of this city. It appears he bad been work ing, and considerable shifting of cars being done at the time, he stepped from one track to the other and was struck by the approachiog train. Tbe de ceased was married, and was an indus trious, sober man. The remains were brought to tbe depot and Coroner Por ter notified. An inquest was held, R. E. Williams, John Welsh, Wm. P. Sieg, Samuel Michael, Simon Brommel and Joseph M. Brigg serving as jurors. A verdict was rendered " that the said Frank II. Breoneman came to bis death by being accidentally struck by engine No. 279, Lewistown accommodation train east, causing instant death." A boy in a Western town, some time ago, was accidentally taken into the air by getting entangled in tbe rope of a balloon. The aeronaut tied bim to tbe boriznntal bar, and he made the trip in safety. The will of Isaac M. Singer, the dead millionaire sewing-machine man, now being contested by one of his three wives, reveals a remarkable matrimonial experience. Mr. Singer first married a woman, Catharine by name, by whom he had two children. Divorced from her for adultery, be soon married Mary Ann, and by ber bad ten children, eight of whom survive. He claimed that be bad a divorce from ber also, and cer tainly be presented another woman as bis wife to the public, Isabella, by whom he bad six children. By two other woman, to whom there was no pretense of marriage, he bad eight chil dren, making twenty-six in all. Tbe patriarchial Singer left an estate which is said to be of the value of $13,000, 000, and distributed it among hi chil dren, legitimate and illegitimate, with a quite impartial band. Tbe second wife contests the will on tbe ground tbat Isabella, tbe last ostensible wife, whom he called the mother of his only legitimate children, was never legally manied to tbe testator, and is not en titled to dower. Tbe suit, is in the bands of lawyers.
