There is considerable of a bolt a
mong Republicans in New York, and

to say it than it was to bid Horace
Greeley farewell. The New York
Times, the Independent, the Tost,
Harper's Weekly and others have de
clared against Blaine. Farewell,
gentienieu, farewell.
The North American say, the
Democratic Congress has been in ses

cago Inter Ocean gives it credit for
having accomplished three noticeable
things the passage of the Filz-John

Inter-Ocean, however, overlooks its
most meritorious action. It has

"My dear, what would I give to

middle aged ladies to young ones.
Madam you may have just such hair.

Stat9 Fair.
'The approaching agriculture State
Fair will be the first held in Phila
delphia since 1880, end only the third
since 1857. It will open on Septem
ber 8tl, and continue two weeks.
The erection of the building was be
gun a few weeks ago upon the thirty
acre lot at the junction of the Phila
delphia and Reading aud the Penn
sylvania connecting road. The ground
is particularly adapted to fair pur
poses, and is accessible by numerous
railroads and street railways. The
buildings will cost 575,000. The
frame sheds with stalls to accommo
date 750 head of live stock are now
under roof. They are to be complet
ed by the first of August.
The grounds will be enclosed with
a high fence, now nearly completed,
having four entrances, one for the
convenience of passengers over the
Pennsylvania railroad ; another for
those ovor the Philadelphia and
Reading road, which entrance will
likewise prove a convenience to visi
tors arriving by way of Broad street;
a third on Seventeenth street, aud a
fourth on Lamb Tavern road. Nu
merous applications for space have
been niado, but none will be consid
ered until July. The premiums offer
will aggreate jj'5'.I.OOO. Thwe are in
dications that the fair will be even a
greater success than the one of

Money in a Fox Hole.
The Carlisle Herald, of May 29th,
publishes the following: We have
been reliably informed that Mr. Wash
iugton Bear, who resides at the foot
of the North Mountain, in Perry
count v, about two miles we6t of Ster
rett's Gap, one day last week, was at
work on the North Mountain. His
dog accompanied him, who during
the day gave chase after a fox which
run into a hole among some rocks.
Mr. Bear went to where the dog was
barking, and, cleaning away some
ground and stones, he caught hold
of a wire which he discovered stick
iug out of the hole, aud after digging
away the ground several feet deeper
he found the other end of the wire
fastened to a large iron pot After
drawing the pot from its hiding place
and opening it, imagine Mr. Bear's
surprise ou finding it filled with Span
ish silver dollars. We are unable to
give the accurate amount it contain
ed. Some say it contained from 5,
000 to $S,000, while others place it
as high as 5:18.01)0. The place where
the money was found is at the foot
of the North Mountain, in Cumber-
laud county, between Waggoner's
and Crain's Gap road. When and
by whom the money was 6ecreted re
mains a mystery.
An Indian Love Story.
The Philadelphia Times of last
Thursday tells the following true In
dian love story- The Indian true to
his traditions is full 'of romance.
When Miss Alice L. Bonino, one of
the cleverest teachers at the Lincoln
Institute Indian School at Wayne,
was returning from Rosebud Agency
in Dakota, after selecting a lot of In
dian girls, she stopped with the par
ty at a house on the plains waiting
for a girl who was to be brotifrht to
her at that point There also hap
pened to be waiting there from an
other Territory, on his way East Ed
win Astly, the young son of aa In
dian chief, who was troing to the -In
dian School at Hampton to be edu
cated. The moment he laid eyes on
her, Edwin fell desperate ly ia love
with Hattie Choncula, one of the big
gest gil ls in the party, and by strange
unanimity she fell desperately in love
with him. They were very much to
gether all the way coming East so
much so that Miss Bonine had to in
terfere. When they separated it was
with evidence of distress on pari of
both and they have corresponded reg
ularly ever since. As neither of them
has progressed very far in the maste
ry of written English they have re
course to a modification of the tradi
tional picture writing of their savage
ancestors. Since her arrival Hattie has
been straugely affected with lovesick -ness.
It appears that with an Indian
this is a malady of moreconsequetice
than usual. Anyhow, one night Hat
tie, having meantime refused to eat
or study, declared that she must die,
and carrying a bread kuive with her
irom table, declared her intention to
cut her throat. This was going too
far and discipline had to be resorted
to. She was given a good shaking
and told if she talked of suicide a
gain she would be thrashed. This
appears to have had the desired ef
fect and she has calmed down, but
says she will not be happy until she
has '-Edwin, her brave." Hattie is
about seventeen vears old and Edwin
a few vears her senior.

Peter Tatro, a notorious pension
swindler, of Philadelphia, who had
eleven wives and a dozen different
names, was sentenced to two years'
imprisonment in the eastern peniten
tiary. The Philadelphia Record, of
May 2S. 1S81, particularizes on his
case as follows : Eleven wives is the
number of women that Peter Tatro
claims he was married to, and of these
five have been found living and well,
each mourning the loss of the hus
band. The other half dozen will no
doubt be found withiu a short time.
Tatro was sentenced in the United
States District Court on Monday un
der the name of John A. Moore, and
sent to the Eastern Penitentiary for
two years, and fined $500. He was
charged with having personated a
pension agent and forging a pension
er's name to a voucher. The man is
53 years of age, and a native of
Franklin county, New Yoik. He is
agreeable in manners, and his ways
were so entrancing that within tea
years five women consented to be
come his wife after brief courtships.
This gay deceiver appeared at Brock
port N. Y., in 1873, and after a brief
wooing made Miss Ella Webb his wife,
giving his name as J. Stone. The
honeymoon was not over before the
man began a desperate flirtation with
a widow named Parsons, of Candor,
N. Y., and in a month he deserted
the Brockport wife and made Mrs.
Parsons Mrs Sheldon Burleigh. In
a few months he tired of this female,
and early one morning took a train

off at South Bend, Ind , and, under
the name of H. C. Pomeroy, pro

made him a favorite, and in the good
ness of bis heart he offered to prose
cute a number of doubtful pension
claims, always taking care to obtain
a small fee. While engaged in this
business he married a Miss Mason.

soon as he was released from the
workhouse he resumed his swindling
career, and was found in Cumber
land, lid., acting as a special exam

A. C. Webb. Here he won the heart
of Mrs. J. P. Anderson, a widow. He

Communication.
Ma. Euitvb : As the ''latchstring1
of the columns of the Sextiskl and
Republican is always out for matter
of an educational charaeter I will
venture to offer a few lines relative
to the closing exercises of the Normal
School, at Richfield, on Friday even
ing, June Cth. The school is con
ducted by Mr. P. G. Shelly, in whom
there is much ''stir and enthusiasm.''
The evening was very warm and op
pressive and the room overcrowded
with a fine, select and attentive audi
ence. It will be uncommon news to
say that Mr. Shelly had his room
whitewashed, and in addition to this
"scrubbed" every two weeks during
the session. The walls looked fresh
and bright were handsomely decor
ated with pictures and mottoes, the
blackboard containing this significant
line : "Stick to-it ivo-neis is oue
thing necessary to success." The
stalwart friends of education of the
vicinity were noticed by your corres
pondent to be there, and, without
being personal, such names as Page,
Dttekart, Richart Farleman, Weiwer,
Haas, fcc, were prominent while the
enemies of progress were equally
conspicuous, by their absence. Ex

gave encouragement by their pres
ence. The exercises opened at 8 o'
clock, with a masterly salutatory, by
Frank Richart An appropriate aud
well composed essay.-Ly J. A. Sny
der, was next rendered and received
with great satisfaction by the audi
ence. Next was music by a select
choir, led by that skilled organist,
Miss Schaffer, from Aaronsburg, Pa.,
piece entitled, "Sweet Rest at Home."
i'hanatopsis was admirably rendered
by E. S- Hokinbrok. The house was
brought to a roar with a stump
speech by S. H. Graybill. Select
leading by Sadie Richart and a reci
tation by Emma Grouse, were receiv
ed with the greatest attention by the
house. Little Dog Trav. bv Gertie
Heathingtou, was pretty, and Nathan
Hale, by Annie Shelley, was truly af
fecting. Bachelors at public auction,
by one whose name is not now at
hand, was one of the star exercises.
Victim of toothache, by Wilson Shraw-
dar, made one feel as though this
world was not so pleasant a world af

only say, "lah me. Is It louT by

mortal be proud, by Jlmnio iney,
were the last and crowning pieces ol
the evening. Lx-bup t buutti was
called upon, who responded at length
by speaking of the advantages to a
communitv in fostering education.
He paid a handsome tribute to the
spirited citizens of Richfield, and es
pecially to .Mr. tjlieUy. bupt Au
man was next called upon, who re
plied in a very happy speech. He
was favorably impressed wiin me ea
ucational status of that part of his
field upon which he just entered to
labor. He assured them he would
do all his power to further the cause
of education not in that locality alone
but wherever duty calls him. He
asked for their kind co-operation.
Both speakers were loudly applaud
ed. Ihe Richfield Band discoursed
lively muc during the evening and
the school rendered a number of very
excellent pieces at intervals. The
order was perfect, and at half past
10 all went home "in the happiest
mood. It was noticable that there
was no running in and out no noise
and not even any whispering. There
was no evening programme which
showed that the teacher was thorough
and knew that his pupils were ready,
to respond whenever called upon.
Ihe exercises gave evidence ol great,
success on the part of teacher Shelly.

STATE SENATOR.
Without tbe urgent solicitation of nu
merous friends but solely of ray own voli

That I possess the ability to discharge the
duties of tbe oflice, will hardly be denied ;
that 1 bave been a soldier, and in every po
sition in which I was placed faithfully per
formed my duty, tbe records will show; and
that I bare done my full share in making
the Republican party successful in Juniata
during the last few years, is well known to
every Republican in the county. If they

Ma. Eiiitob. I would announce the
name of W. C. Poiueroy, of Port Royal, for
State Senator. In duing so I express tbe
wishes of a large number of Republicans in
this county anil in tbis Senatorial district.
Mr. Pomeroy, as a member of tha Legisla
ture, was a popular representative. lie was
taitmnl in tbe discharge ol Lis otlicial du
ties. He voted against tbe continuance of
tbe extra session. He voted fur an ad
journment on every occasion, when he
tound no agreement could be had between
the Senate and the House. His course in
tbe House of Representatives was such as
to deserve commendation. Knowing the
wants of his constituents so well, and with
bia legislative experience, his nomination
would be a merited one, and be to the best
interests of the Republican party.

Mr. iniToR permit me to announce
the name of Captain James J Patterson for
tate Senator. This Senatorial District is
a close one, and it behooves the Republi
can party to put forth as its candidate, one
who has the fitness to bll the position, and
who will command the confidence of the
people. Captain Patterson was a brave sol
dier in the 148th Pa., Reg't, commanded
by Col. Beaver, and served honorably
through tbe whoie war. If he will accept
the nomination, no worthier candidate could
be selected. LACK.
