Secretary Sherman will get his evidence
in, relative to the course of intimidation in
the South, always made several months pre
vious to election time, and once it has been
presented, the world will stand convinced of

dation that was practiced to carry the South
ern States for Tilden. Of course many of
tbe leaders of the Democracy will deuy it
all, but if it were not for the evidence in

was ever engaged in.
The Altoona Tribune of last week pub

ing around for the tobacco his left band
came in contact with a copperhead snake,
and the reptile sank its fangs into the hand.
Proper remedies were promptly applied,
and, though Mr. Free's arm swelled to three
times its normal size, the swelling his now
subsided aud the man is getting well. The
snake was killed.
Every gneration produces its quota or
percentage of card players and gamblers,
and every community furnishes its share.
A number of boys belonging to this place
are now in training at card playing. They
sit along the river shore, and in fields and
woods, and learn the different gicies. Not
every man that takes a drink is a drunkard ;
not every man that plays cards is a gamLler,
but there it a danger to every boy that learns
to play cards th.it he may become a gam
bler, as there is dancer to every boy that
learns to drink, that he may become a drunk
ard. It is of do use, boys, to learn to play
cards, or to learn to drink, but you rnn a
great risk of falling into tbe habits of the
gambler and the drunkard.
"Max Siogle, who robbed, or who was one
ofthe party that robbed Wioey's store at

ner room of the jail. A stone chimney passes
through the southeast corner of the room

HOPE.
When sailing o'er the sea of Kfe,
We meet with tempests dark ;
When thunders crash and billows loll
Hope calms the trembling heart.
In childhood's years she smooths the way,
And makes tbe future bright;
She nerves the weak and cheers the faint,
And makes our burdens light.
And when the youth first leaves his home,
For fortune or for fame,
Hope lingers round bis tender heart,
And brightens every aim.
Yet, though adversity may come,
And sorrow linger near,
Still, with her soothing, gentle voice,
She whispers, "Courage here."
With gentle steps she lingers still
Aronnd the dying one ;
With countenance radiant with love
She points beyond tbe sun.
And as the spirit takes its flight
To realms ot peace and borne,
She eases still tbe last, long breath.
And bears the soul yet on.
"Olivia."

LrvEsrooL, July 26. A leading grain
circular says i There was a heavy rain in
most part of the country during the past
two days, and the usual excitement at this
season of the year accompanied it. The
decline waa consequently checked, and
there waa more animation generally. Tha
wheat trade is steadier, this and other lead
iug markets advancing more or less. The
cargoes oiT coast and on passage are held
for more money. The demand tor the Con
tinent continues, tbe requirements in that
direction, however, for some tiite past bane
been supplied chiefly direct from Ameriea
and eastern Europe. The weather to-day
is favorable, but we are having a tolerably
good attendance of millers at this market,
with a fair and steady demand for white and
red wheat at l2d per cental over the prices
of Tuesday. Flour is Cd per sack dearer.

CONGUESS.
Editor Sentinel and Repnilir.m IVar Sir,
The time is approaching when the Re
publicans of this Congressional district I
must select a candidate for Congress. With
out disparagement to any gentlemen of the
district, we believe that Juniata C'.cnty can
present a candidate the p-er of any pi ntle
man likely to bo naiued. in point of ability
and peisoiial integrity, and possessing alt
the elements of political popularity that
may be claimed for tbe most popular. Par
niit ns, then, Mr. Ediior. to name Lons K.
Atkisso.v, Esq., of Mittlintou n, as a candi
date for nomination for Congress, subject
to the rules and regulations of the Repub
lican party.
Kembi.ic.iSS or Mrrrinrrow.

Editor Sentinel and Republican Dear Sir,
Believing that the interests of the Republi
can party rai be advanced by tbe nomina
tion and ' lection of a stanch Republican to
the Lower House of the Legislature, we
bave the honor ol presenting the Dame of
Da. J. P. STannETT, of Port Koval, as a
suitable candidate lor the Legislature, sub
ject to the rules and regulations of thu Ks
publkan party.

LEGISLATURE.
Editor Sentinel and Republican Sir, As
the time is drawing near when the republi
cans of Junia'a county will have to select a
candidate for Legislature, and as it is im
portant that we should select a candidate
who combines fitness for tbe position with
personal strength, and knowing no one who
possesses these qualifications in a more em
inent degree than Jons' S. Ukaybill, of
Uifllintown, we ask tliil his name be an'
nouncd as a candidate for the nomination
for Legislature, at the approaching Primary
Klectiou. In doing this we are aware' that
Mr Gray bill bas not sought political prefer
ment, but bas devoted his time lo the care
and manazeim-iit of his private business,
but hope that he will accept. We feel con
fident that he can, if nominated, be elected.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Editor Sentinel and Republican Dear Sir,
There seems to be an uncommon stir among
the Democratic brethren in regard to the
nomination of a candidate for District At
torney, and while efforts and couuter efforts
have b en going on in the cunpof the Dem
ocracy, our camp has been aa silent ou tbe
question of Attorneyship as it no such an
important oth. e is to be tilled. I do be
lieve lb it we should not be so indilferent
as to the Attorneyship, and therefore 1
nominate J- S. Akxoid, Esq., of Richfield,
as a candid. ite tor the oilico of District At
torney, si'iij -ct to the rules for the govern
ment of the Repuhtiean party. Mr. Arnold
is a young linn of energy, and speaks flu
ently in both the German and English lan
guages. HON R E.
COLNTV COMMISSIONER.
Ediior Sentinel and Republican Sir, If
" iu the multitude of counsellors there is
safety," it must follow tbat in a mnititude
of candidates a good nomination must hike
place, therefore I nominate II. L. M-jMuks,
of Tuscarora township, for the office of
Couuty Commissioner, subject to tbe rules
and regulations that govern the Republican
party. Tbe nomination of Mr. McMek-
would give to the ticket a pres'ige tbat will
be fell in tiie November election,

to hare in this position .nc in whom the

pleasure in bringing forward ihe name of

Tbe Captain needs no recommendation to
