In this tbe Centennial year of the
American Republic, it is said tbe world

The second sensational Canadian
elopement case proves to be no elope
ment case at all. The young lady wLo

The trial.of General Bibcock, Pres
ident Grant' private Secretary, for
complicity in tbVwhisky frauds of tbe
West is progressing at St. Louis, Mis
ouri. President Grant gave evidence
in tbe case before the Chief Justice of
the United States, at Washington, and
tbe evidence was sent to St. Louis,
where it will be used in tbe case. The
President testifies to bis belief in tbe
innocence of Babcock, and it is said Lis
testimony sheds considerable light on
tbe case.
TbebeJs good reason to believe that
tbe ballot boxes of the borough ot Mif
fl:oton and Fermanagh township
were broken open and their contents
ezaaiined, at a date somewhere between
the time they were removed from the cus
tody of tbe respective Election Boards
last fall and the time of their return
to the Election Boards on Tuesday mor
ning. To break the seal of a ballot
box after it has gone from the custody
of an Election Board is a grave offence,
and the man or men who were guilty
of the act should be punished as the
law requires. A number of jesrs of
imprisonment and a fine of a thousand
dollars would act as a wholesome re
straint on tbe parties who thus
violated the law. What is the use
of denonncing such work in cities, if
it is to be allowed in our midst.
Cumulative Voting in the South.
An exchange put it in this way : The
cumulative voting, which enables a mi
nority to steal a corporation in Penn
sylvania, i nothing to the same kind of
voting which enables the minority in
Mississippi to steal a State. Tbey bave
reduced the matter to a science, down
there, and when any one of the major
ity quistly claims that be bas some
right to be beard, they shoot him and
lay him out of the way. Tbe 30,000
Democratic votes in that State have
been cumulated into 120,000 by judi
cious counting and tbe aid of powder
tnd ball.
The Philadelphia Timet is in court
on a charge of libel. Tbe plaintiff is

falling under tbe censure of a limet
reporter.

.- Andergonrffie.
The" following couiuiaarieatTon' was
written for and publiahtl in Forney's
Ptttfot tbe 10th inst. It is the testi
mony of one" who suffered in Anderson
ville. Jeff Davis and bis confederate
have not bad justice meted out to them
in this world. If it were possible tbey
would deny away the cruelties of the
South, in the io teres t of human degradation-.
Hundreds of thousands will
render stronger testimony than this
communication contains, under the light
of the judgment day. But to the let
ter Sir : As 1 was a prisoner of tbe war
for eighteen months, my experience
and observation may bave soma weight
in determining the following questions,
which bave been raised by the recent
speech of Mr, Blaine :
First. Were Union prisoners cruelly
treated in Southern prisons ?
Second. If cruelly tieated, waait tbe
necessary reaul: of circumstances or of
hatred!
To take up tbe first proposition, I say
that were cruelly and inhumanly treat
ed. Men were shot down by the rebel
guards repeatedly, three cases of which
1 was eye-witness to, and many more
came uuder my notice. One poor fel
low I was watching, while on bis way
to tbe doctor, entirely worn out by
hunger and starvation, and so debilita
ted tbat be used the "dead-line" as a
means of support while on his way, was
shot by the guard because be touched
the rail forming or designating the
dead line." Another, thinking to air
an old army blanket of wbich be was
the fortunate possessor, was shot down
by the guard, the blanket falling on him
in such a way as to cover the upper
part of his chest and face, but although
covered in this manner, the rising and
falling of the chest in the throes of
death was plainly seen by us, but we
dare not go to his assistance, tbe guards
on each side of the one who Lad dis
charged his riffa, leveling their riflts at
us and threatening to shoot any one
who would go near the dying man. Tbe
other ease was that of a man lifting
some water out ot tbe swampy creek or
marsh running through the centre of
tbe prison at Andersonville. At tbe
headwater of this creek tbe rebel guard
bad located tbeir cook bouse, and as a
consequence the water wbich passed to
us for drinking, cooking, and all other
purposes, was covered by a scum of
grease. Now there was a rock jutting
out of tbe water and on a line with tbe
dead-line. Tbe scum floatiug on tbe
surface of the water would break at
this rock, making the water appear
cleaner there than -anywhere else, and
our men would naturally try to lift it at
that spot ; and it was while doing so I
saw the third man shot. Many were
shot here fur the same reason ; but 1
speak of what I was eye-witness to only.
To enumerate tbe different acts of cru
elty, or even tbe different kinds of
cruelty practiced on us, would make
this article too long for a newspaper
paragraph, so 1 will confine myself to
one more. One day our usual rations
were not sent into tbe stockade. The
men, although starved, biavely awaited
tbe time until tbe rebels should see fit
to send us victuals. Tbe second day
passed as tbe first no victuals yet
not a mouthful of anything to break
our fast with during two entire days.
Nor was the end yet ; it was not until
tho evening of tbe third day that our
inhuman jailors sent us food.
Now for a consideration of tbe sec
ond proposition : Was this cruelty the
necessary result of oireumstaocea, or
was it hatred I answer, it was hatred.
Did the poor, emaciated man threaten
the peace of our jailors that tbey should
shoot him down ! or did the poor man,
intent only on airing his vermin-covered
blanket, show any insubordination by
bis act to call for his life, or tbe others
lifting the wa'cr f Did tbat act ren
der tbem dingerous, tbat they should
be shot down like mad dogs t No ! the
answer can be found in the fact that
these guards knew their masters' inten
tions towards us, and knew also that as
they cariied tbem out they ahould be
rewarded. They put in the miserable,
false plea that tbeir reason for not feed
ing us properly was because tbey did
nut have it to give us. Wby, at any
time, during tbe three days alluded to
tbat we were kept without food we
could, by going to the top of the hill on
either side of the prison, and looking
thence over tbe stockade to the hollow
beyond, see tho victuals that were in
tended for u, rotting in the sun, and
when they were at last sent us, tbe
meat was putrid, green, and running
with maggots, tbe eating of which
caused a great many deaths. " The mor
tality there was fearful, two carts haul
ing almost incessantly from the stock
ade to the burying ground, at least fif
teen bodies being put in a cart at one
time, and later than this, when tbe men
died so fast that they could not cart
them off, boles were dag in the prison
alongside tbe body, tbe body tossed in
and covered over. And yet, notwith
standing these facts, the inhuman brutes
have the hardihood to stand up and say
tbey treated us as kindly as possible.
Aye think that it is not possible that
any could have survived tbeir brutality
te this late day, but, thanks to the God
above, some still live.

Tbe London World describes a new
deviee for burying tbe dead, as follows :
"The body is placed in glass boa, to
the top of which is affixed a metal rod.
As soon as the earth is filled in, a bat
tery is connected with the rod, and an
electrio shock shatters the coffin into a
thousand pieces, thus allowing the earth
to press upon tha dear departed, and
allowing him to return to dust in a
speedier way.
In the town of Roxboroogh, near tbe
line that separates the county of Phil
adelphia and Montgomery county, about
one o'clock on the morning of the 9th
inst., four burglars attempted to enter
a private residence by the bank entrance.
A policeman heard tbem enter tbe yard,
and demanded to know their business.
They answered by firing on him. He
stepped behind a cherry tree and re
turned the fire until bis revolver was
exhausted of it? charges, with good re
sult, having wounded two of tbe thievea.
Tbe policeman then harried off for
more ammunition and reinforcements.
Meanwhile tbe burglars took up the one
that was so badly wonnded in the hip
that he could not walk, and also left.
Tbe policeman reinforced returned,
took up tbe bloody trail the thieves
left, and pursued tbem so closely tbat
they were compelled to submit to cap
ture or drop their compacion thief,
which they did. Tbe police got him.
The others escaped.
Samuel Clark, of Mercer eonnty, had
a painfnl adventure recently. He
dreamed eight men were in his room,
four of whom he ejected. The remain
der were too much for him, and be ac
tually sprang out of the window bead
foiemost and ran to 'the bouse of a
neighbor, to whom he related his thril
ling experienee. The two went back
to Clark's residence and found no in
truders and his wife sound asleep. ' Io
the fall Clark was badly cut in tbe bead
and had a six inch gash in tbe thigh.
A short time siuee Daniel Knob'e, of
Shamokin township, Northumberland
county, lost three bead of cattle. Tbey
licked tbe paint off a newly-painted
wagon one evening and died the next

A mad dog passed through George
town, about sixteen miles below Sun
bury, on the 10 :h inst., and bit every
thing of life it met. One of the resi
dents of the town, whose nam we did
not learn, was bitten in the arm, and a
colt three years old, a cow and dog be-
longing to tbe man were also bitten by
the savage brute. Last Wednesday,
the ninth day after tbe visit of the
rabid animal tbe colt showed signs of
hydrophobia, and for three eueoeeding
days, until Friday, when he died, raved
most piteously. He tore his flesh and
bit himself and everything he could
reach. Tbe people for utiles around
came to see tbe poor animal and tbe
sight he presented was pitiful in tbe
extreme. Death stopped his suffering
on Friday last and grave apprehensions
have since been entertained about the
man. Dr. Kershner has expreased.the
opinion that unless something is done
to counteract it, the terrible disease will
make tbe bitten man a victim as well as
bis cow and dog. Tbe doctor wanted
to cauterize the wound, but the man
had no faith in the treatment jand says
he will take the chances, nis case will
be anxiously watched by bis neighbors
and friends. Sunbury Democrat, Jan 27.

Pemsstlyakia Vaccine Farm.
" On a farm in Hamilton township,
Frank! is county, on and a half mile
from Chambersburg, Dr. B. Rush Sen-
seny has a stock of ons hundred heifers,
from which be is producing oontinually
a stock of fresh vaccine matter. The
process by which this is effected is in
teresting. The heifers used in this
business are mostly well bred, and con
sist of either Jvll breed, thru quarter
ot half Alderney stock. They must
be ia thriving eondition and . from six
months to one year old. Tbey are stall
fed, kept in clean and well ventilated
stables, plenty of clean litter, fresh
water and nutritious food. In other
words, the animal is kept np to a nor
mal, healthy and thriving standard.
First Heifers are secured by strap
ping them down to a rack, on the back,
with each leg secured, a strong strap
around tbe body, and the bead tied
down. Then tbey are shaved around
the udder and vaecinated in from ten to
thirty places in order to produee vesi
cles of vaccinia. On the eight day
after vaeoioating they are ready to
yield np vaccine virus in its different
foims.
On the eighth or ninth day the vesi
cles are ready to tap in order to secure
virus. This is done in four wsys . 1st.
Quills; 2d. Ivory points ; 3d. Lymph
tubes, and lastly, in about sixteen days,
crusts. Quills sre ss follows ; The im
ported goose quill is taken, boiled, filed,
cut and scraped and then dipped into
the fluid lymph and thus charged for
use. 2d. Tbe Ivory Point : Each point
is dipped into the liquid virus and
charged as an Indian charges his poi
soned arrows.
Lymph tubes are long glas cylindeia
which are filled with tbe fluid lymph
and are then shut up by sealing eacb
end with wax. In using the quills or
points upon human beings, the quills
ate moistened and then when tbe abra
sion bas been made on the arm, the
quills or points, as the case may be, are
rubbed briskly upon the abraded sur
face and thus inoculate of the true vao-
cinia is produced. This is the trne
Jennerian system.
In order to secure crusts of the true
vaccinia, the heifer is allowed to remain
untouched for about sixteen or eighteen
days, st wbich time the vesicles bave
matured into hardened scabs or crusts
of virus, and may then be removed
Each crust is then carefully wrapped
in gold or silver foil, and is then ready
for shipment to any part of tbe world.
This virus is now being sent to every
State in the Union, to every Territory,
to Canada, Cuba, South America and
to all tbe States of Mexico and Central
America.
One great advantage in nsing animal
vaccine as a preventive of that dread
ed disease, small pox, is that there is
no possibility of inoculating tbe human
system with any constitutional disorder,
a risk wbich most persons fear to entail
opon themselves or their offspring when
vaccination ia demanded, and the only
virus to be bsd is from human ernsts.
Human crusts nay be good and pare,
bat often they are not, hence tbe safe
guard is animal vaccine. Repotitory.
