He said it did seem a lit tle queer that be should take two horses, stolen at different times, to sell to one man. as he had done to Kutbersb.tugh in Lewis town, but tbe reason he took the last horse to that piace was this : His intention was to teal two dorses from Eiias Horning, in Ju niata county, but when he got to the stable it was locked and be could not get them put He then concluded to go to S. W Henderson's stable and get his black horse, a good traveler, but instead of getting the black horse, he got a colt that could not travel, and he suff ered with the cold severe Iy, and made such poor speed that by day light as bad, stet passed Lewis town, and that in a spall of desperation fas went to the place where he had sold the Manning horse, bkh, as a matter of course, led to his ar rest.

People complain of tbe mismanagement of the public affairs, and yet they are the mas ters of the situation. The heavy taxes are the township taxes, and the people elect the men who levy the taxes. A despatch from Washington, on the 7lh, says : A short running delate in the Senate to-day disclosed the startling admission, made by the Commissioner of Peps-ons, that 20 per cent, of the pensions paid were fraudulently paid. If this assertion is cor rect, there is no method of ascertaining what it will take to comply with the arrears of pension law. The ground hog must be a good deal per plexed, or hsve a general ariety of weather to distribute, for reports from different lo calities throughout the country represent different kinds of weather on tho day when it should have appeared.

They had quite ft time in Committee, at Washington, last week, in examining Mar ble, tbe editor of the New York WorU. He said he went to Florida to look alter the electoral vote; that before he left he ca'led on Mr. Tilden to say good-by, nd that he got a cypher to despatch by L orn Pelton, Mr. Tiiden's nephew. Pelton was the mid dle man South during that time, that stood in the back-gronnd arranging tho figures at which the electoral Totes were to be handed over to Tilden. The pith of many petition at Ilarrisburg is, "give tbe shad a chance in tho rivers of th State : take out the dams." But wnen we shout fish, we lorget the canals. If th dams are taken awsy, what will become of tbe canals f It is hoped that the caual man .iremcnt will not shout fih too ; for in that event the shout would become so long and loud, that the dams in the rivr wonld be torn ont and the canals destroyed befor the echoes of tbe shout for the fish had died out. "Which w iil you have, fish or canal t" Read the Riot Damage BiU, as published elsewhere in this issue. In counties where the rioting took place, and where property was destroyed, tbe county shall pay 2-i per cent, of the loss, and State 75 per cent, of the loss. To put 75 per cent- of the dam age on the State seems somewhat extrava gant. May not the principle be questionea, that permits people outside of the district where the riots took place, to be charged, or be required to pay so largely for losses that they bad no band whatever in bringing about. . On Suuday night, a safe in the business place of Fisher 4t Son, in Huntingdon, was blown open. The noise of the explosion awakened certain parties, who hastened to the scene of the burglars, and there en countered the thieves and delivered sev eral revolver shots ; but, as no one fell, they concluded that their shots had failed of effect. Not so, however one of the thieves was struck, and went to Lewistown to have the bullet taken cut of his breast, into which it liad passed through his shoulder from his back. Hia application for surgical aid at Lewistown led to inquiries which led to bU arrest. Be now is in Huntingdon jail. ssssssAaaM,iss. A course of Lectures baa beea decided on for this place, which will be ft rare treat at a small cost. The Brat lecture is to be delivered next Saturday even ing. The lecturer, Mr. Villers, will have with him the recent wonderful Invention, the Phonograph the talking machine a machine which, if addressed or talked to, will talk back, repeat what has been said to it. It is bound to aupecede the key-hole, open window, "door ajar," as an instrument or avenue by which some people may learn what other people are doing, for all that will be necessjry for householders, and de tectives, and inquisitive people generally, to do will be to provide themselves with 1'ho nographs talking machines and plaee them around about their houses, Set the machine so as to catch every word talked in their absence, and when they return, un set tbu machine, and it will tell everything that has been and while you have been away. Tbe kev-hole, a 'door ajar," or an open window, is not to be compared tn it. Such a machine would be nice to have in a place where lovers meet, or where scandal raougcia convene. Go next Saturday even ing and see the machine operated and hear it talk. Suhj-jct of Lecture The Funny People we Meet." Considerable excitement was created in the Legislature last Wednesday, when every member from York, Luzerne, Lycoming, Columbia ad Lancaster counties presented petitions tor the removal of tbe Columbia dam in the Susquehanna river, for tbe rea son that it prevents tbe free passage of the fish with which that stream is stocked. " It matters little where I was born. Or il my parents were rich or poor ; Whether they shrank at the cold world's scorn, Or walked in the pride of wealth secure ; But whether I live an honest man, And hold my integrity firm in my clutch, I tcil you, brother, plain as 1 can, It matters mnch ! It matters little hew long I slay In a world of sorrow, sin aud care; Whether in youth I ate called away. Or live till my bones and pile are bare ; But whether I do the best I can To sol ten tho weight of adversity's touch On the failed cheek ot my lellow-man, Il mutters tnucL! It mitters little vhere be my grave, Or on the latid or on the sea ; By purling brook of 'neath stormy wave, It matters little or naught to me; But whether the angel Daalh comes down And marks my brow with his loving touch As one that shall wear tbe victor's crown, It matters much !" Exhibitors' Names at Fairs. Most exhibitors attend fair as much for the advertising it brings as for the honor of the premiums and visitors want to know more of tho persons who exhibit than as to who took the GrH prize after the fair is over, and yet the absurd custom prevails generally of bavii'g numbers only ou the cxb:'. itors' cards. A Georgia paper id disgusted with this practice at their late State fair aud thus disccursetb: "Tbe practice of concealing the tames of the exhibitors u ,U'r the m"T" uient of all our Southern faiM and oe- tracts materially from the interest and instruction of visitors, while it is of little value iu iniuriug impartial awards, i "The Dsme and costoi5ie address of ...i, ,,u,i.:,or shnnl.l h r,la..I nnnn tbe cttry car j 0f every article, not on- !,- an advertisement for the exhibit or, but for the information f visitors, many of whom atteud fairs for the pur pose of learning what progress i being made in agricultural art, in tlie iuiporve moot of sce.H and implements.

The answer usually made to such criticism, is 1 be name of the exbibi tor can be learned from tbe books ol the secretary.' Is a visitor expected every tint he wishes to learn tbe name of tbe exhibitor of articles wbu-h es pecially iuterest biin to go to tbe sec retary, who on sucb occasions, bas bis hands more than full attending to bis proper duties!" e should like to shake bands with this editor, having titni and acain pro tested against tbe absnnty. Tbe the ory is that it is to protect the judges. It is fhoUL'bt tbey will act more im partially when they do not know whose exhibits tbey are considering. int judges should be selected wbo are above such weaknesses, and it is found in practice tbat a set of judges feel more on their honor, when they knon everybody's exhibit is kuowo, than ben tbe whole thing is on the sly. The venal judge wants no better chance if he really wishes to sell his honor for a bribe, than for tbe public to be.ieve tbat he 'really did not know whose things be was jsdgmg," when of course lie bad verity reasons for knowing all tbe while. In every respect it is a gain to have tbe exhibitors names on the tickets, and now, when schedules are being preparsd, is the time to think of it A3 It Mat Haitf : A Story of Amer ican Life ana Character. By Ire bob. 1 vol., 419 pp. Philadelphia I Torter & Ceates. - As It May Ilappen " is pronounced by the Chicago Inter-Ocean one of the most thoroughly original stories we have read for many a day. Its characters are novel, the plot is original, and the incidents have a strange mingling of the ludicrous and the) tragic The story opens in a lonely nut, occupied by an old man, his aged house keeper, and a little girl. They lived isola ted, encouraging no friendships. The old housekeeper dies and Is buried, and i!.e old man and tbe beautiful girl are left alone, with no companion except a savage mast'ff dog, which is a wouderful conception of ca nine intelligence, and plays an important pait in tbe story. But, notwithstanding tbe seclusion, the beautiful girl finds a lover, and the old miser sets himself to work to break off the match. The history here in troduces half a dozen noted characters, who play an exciting part in the villainies and tragic history which follow. No sum mary evtn can be given in a short review of the working out of the skillfully-devised plot. The story, the author we do net know, is tbe work of a genius ; and, while many of the sketches are overwrought and improbable. hoover takes up the book wi'l find themselves absorbed in the strange his- tory, aud will be unwilling to lay it down nntil the mystery is solved. The pleasant ending of the story is wholly commendable. The excitement and interest continue to the end of the volume. . J. A. Best-let, Commis.sionor of Pensions, Washington, D.
