FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR, GEORGE R, HEADER SOX, OF FATTKaSOX. Republicans, Stand by Your Colors, A large number of the Democratic party propose to vote the Labor and Greenback ticket, they just having received a gleam of light on the ques tion, which is, that the leaders of the Democracy have never been Labor and Greenback people. They have been the very opposite, having been the champions of slavery, and plain tiffs in court proHecntions to estab lish the unconstitutionality of the greenback currency. The leaders of the Democracy are alarmed ; they fear that their party in large masses are about to vote for the Republican party, which is the father of the greenback, and the greatest champion of labor the world tvtr Irn iv sir rfvif lrcr mmifips rtf their party will vote the Labor and ' elected ,be foo6 Couu,v Coiuinit Greenback ticket, to do either of i tee : which is just the thing for such Dein-1 Miftliutown W F Snyder, Sam'l S Wilson, o-rats as favor the Libor or Green- Tl's? f"8?'

What a happy set of people the Republicans will be when they real ise that the old Wild Cat BarJc Dem ocracy have turned Greenbacker to vote the Greenback ticket But, Re publicans, be cautious : let no man be caught by the chaff bill that the wily chief is throwing out Once the Democracy have put themselves on tlw rv&nrtt Vi-? thpir rttartt al an. rlectinn. , . i ,., iii oriwastu favor of the Greenback 1 organization, it will be time enough for the Republicans to fly Meir hon LI 3 - :iL 41 - , .

Be the object what it mav. the weakening that it indicates should cause every Republican to ad here to his past faith. When such leaders manifest a disposition for Republican finance, the Republican party shoul 1 unitedly vote their tick- ct It is a high compliment to ile publican finance, when the Democ racy favor its adoption in part. They will adopt all of the good that is in it by anil by. Till then, let Kepubli cans stand by their colors. Tueue is a good deal of talk by Washington and other city papers, con cerning tbe appointment of a Minister to England. It is alleged that at tbe suggestion of a Cabinet Minister, the .Pennsylvania Congressional delegation went lulo a caucus to decide upon a choice fur the place, and that tbe cau cus decided in favor of Hon. Simon Cameron, but that now, since it is the cx-Senator who is recommended, tbe President will not appoint him. That's tbe story. It further runs that the Congressmen are in high dudgeon be cause the suggestion was not followed. Jt will not pay to tear your bair over the appointment to the Court of St. James, gentlemen. Your constituents don't expect you to commit such an act of deformity. It i amusiug to bear a Labor and greenback movement man talk against railroad monopolies, and at tbe same time favor such political movement that can result ooly in casting his vote in J.rfiUiy for the Deiuocratio State Trea sure, who did bis best to get the Sink ing r'undi- of the Slate, to further railroad fccbrniee, and also favored fi eight discrimination. Host can a l'emocrat ho opposed such schemes, vote for such a candidate. How can a Republieao oat his vote in an iodireet way that it will result in the eleetion of of such a Treasurer. The Democratic candidate for Auditor General, is on the reeord B tbe same way.

Doing What Should Have Been Done Long Ago. There are people who claim not to !care for anv record of the past, either records, well preserved, the identity of the Jewish people, and the Bible with all its glorious teacliings would be unknown, as if it had leen sunken in the sea a thousand years ago. The American people are a young people, comparatively sjeaking. They are strong, and have all the elements that develope into greatness, and all ! that is needed to make them the chief among nations is for them to pre . 4t...: .i i J JJ ... J purpose. uch a purpose will secure Iim.;i x- .... within the bounds of National and State life, lie the still more important spheres of isdivii.cal and fahua lite, A; v . . . ., which are the real strength of the country and the connecting links be tween the Old and New Worlds. There eie a number of families in tbe country ho can trace their ancestry through successive generations to tbe landing of their first American ancestor. There are others who if they give attention to their pedigree mar secure a straight line to the landing on these shores of their ancestor. There are a few families a ho have a straight record from their first American ancestor back through generations in Europe. Thousands of dollars are sent annually by American families to find their laniily line in the Old World. At all of the ports ol this country, during Colonial Jays, a list of arrival of passengers and immigrants were kept. Doubtless these lists or records are still in existence in the Archives of the ttvtrat Stales witbiu the limits of which sca-Lorts of entry are found. In tbe office of the Secretary of State of this Common wealth, are thousands of names of people who arrived from the Old World during Co lonial days. The are the fathers of bun areas ot mousands or citizens who are living to-day in the State. Almost every day citizens call at the State Department to look np the record of iheir first American ancestor. Tbey are ofteu successful in finding the name they seek, but there the case must end, and the wide Atlantic deep intervenes between the two ports, the one from which their ancestor sailed in Europe and the one at which he landed iu the Prov ince of Pennsylvania. Just here, naturally enough, the miud suggests, "if I had the list of people who sailed iu such a ship, with such a captain from such a point in the Old World, I could find the name of my ances tor who came from the country across the sea, and by that record, perhaps, get the line of his ancestry iu the Old World." Such suggestion is followed by an excla mation, 'Why does not the great Common wealth of Pennsylvania, and each and every other Commonwealth that form the Repub lic, enact a law, creating a commission to go to all the porta of the Old World from which ships sail, and collect the lists of passengers and emigrant departures for tbe Coloei!S and States and place the same on record, in the S tate Department at Harris- burg, or other States where they belong." Yea. why bas sash a commission not been sent long ago from Pennsylvania f It is hoped that Senator Crawford and Representative Garutan, at tb next session of the Legislature of the Commonwealth r. ill frame a law creating a commission to go to E5rpe, England, Scotland and Ire laud, and secure the names of the Immi grant to the colonies, from the various sea ports or the countries mentioned and place such Dimes among tbe archives of tbe S tale Department nt HarrUburg.

Chickens) by tbe Thousand. A most extensive establishment for pro ducing chickens by tuachiiiary bas been by a 31 r. Baker. erected in New York State From a description of the same which we nnd in the Butler, Cheat aud Egg Reporter we liuke ,hb ,0iowjrig extract "The Cap " citv of the hatching drawers or multiHled city 01 me natming u rawer, or uiumj neu trays, iu these incubators, is equal to the accommodation of about eight thousand eggs at a time; or say, lor turning out one hundred and loi ty thousand chickens per. yeai. There is another room devoted to this same purpose, and .Mr. Baker is still further, increasing bis iucuhniing Works, with the design ot raising during the coming year a grand total of two hundred and filly thou- sand chicks; for which, as they mature, he bas secured cash niirket for table consump ticti in new York city. Mr Baker's plan tor hatching chiekens is ss follows 1 The gas for heating tPv incubators is manufac tured npna the premises. Beneath each machine is kept alight a single jet of gas to heat the wa'er conveyed through pipes to the narrow open chambers or vacuities over the surface of the eggs as they rest in trays while being hatched. This process constantly gives tho eggs the required artiticial heat, in form quite similar to the action of tbe wjrnnh that de- scents from the natural hen-ui jth-.T's body when she is brooding over her egs- The egzs are turned regularly once a day by fhe attendants. Tbe heat conveyed to fhe in terior of the hicubators, a we have describ ed, is controlled automatically. An elec trie battery iu the adjoii.ing room commun icates with the hot watur chambers over tbe eggs, and also it h the gns jirts ; aud then the temperature becomes b -comes too bot or too cold lor the healthy and rightful progress of Ibe hatching, the undue varia tion of heat is instantly announced through indicators governed by the electric current aud apparatus contrived for this special purpose. The atmosphere in the incubating apartment is kept moist and humid like the warm spriuk air ny placing open, shallow pans of water around, upon which the heated air acts advautageously, evapor ating it evenly an admirably. Tbe Vunng bires remain in the trays where they first see daylight, after breaking their shells, lor two or three hours, when they becom: dry aud lively, and are transferred to what Mr. Baker call bis "brooding house.'" I'm liurnlngr up Inside. ben tbe exciteuieut was at its ; height at Newark, Ohio, last week, a : stalwart citizen felt the necessity of' bracing himself up. Tbe Mayor bad drinking-plsces, and the police had en forcd the regulations rigidly. But there was a back door in Gingerbread Row, and behind tbe bar there was long range ligbteniug whiskey. Tbe stalwart citizen crept in, got bis drink and beat a retreat. Soon be wss overwhelmed with a burning sensations in bis stomach. Something seemed to be blazirg there, and be burst into a (tni.tn,1, nflirta avnl.iinmtt ,1 K.,v I ? .1 ' .j sake pump me out quick.' "What is !

W bile the stalwart citizen : . ! was taking bis diink be bad dropped a cigar stump between his waiateoat and shirt. "Didn't you smell smoke 1" asked the Doctor. "You're right I did, but I thought it was coming out of my mouth." On the 13th inst. tbe Jury in tbe case of David Ezra Kisser, charged with the murder of Joseph L Miller, a prominent citizen of Lebanon eounty, returned a verdict, of not guilty. Miller was murdered on the morn ing of April 2, 137G, near Sbaffertown Pa., a short distance from bis boose, wounds were inflicted by means of a club and a knife, and tbe suspected murdered was a tenant of miller. Tbe victim had $600 on his person at tbe time, and tbis was tbe prize which tempted the accused to waylay and kill him. The evidence against Kisser is to tbe effect that footprints wero dis covered in the grain field adjoining the road where Miller's dead body was found. These footprints were made by a maimed foot such as Kisser has, and Kisser's boots exaetly fitted these foot prints. A blood-stained axe was also found in Kisser's bouse. He was also aware of the fact that Miller bad this money about bis" person. Gbazi Mukbtar neither eats meat, drinks alcoholic beverages nor smokes. He got a good smoking from tbe Rub Grans recently, however. Cvnnellcut Blue Law.
