Several mornings ago, three year old
bay horse was missing from tbe stable of
Calvin Watt, in Fayette township. It was
believed that a thief had stolen the bone.
Watt belongs to a horse company, and forth
with notice was served upon the members,
and tbe company waa ordered out. Bills de
scribing the animal were printed, and every'
thing was in readiness for a dashing ride on
all of the roads leading from the valley, and
a search of die hills and woods of the coun
try All these exciting preparations were
ent short by the finding of the bora on tbe
Pike near John Gallagher's bouse in Wal
ker township. Tbe horse bad broken his
baiter strap and led the stable and wander
ed eight miles from home.
The large frame barn of Abratn Bruba-

five horses, five young cattle, a cow and
calf, this year's crop of hay, four hundred
and twenty bushels of last year's wheat,
old oats, a wagon, buggy, threshing ma
chine, other machinery, and so forth, were
destroyed. The building was insured for
fifteen hundred dollars. William Henry,
son-in-law of Mr. Brubaker, owned nearly
all of tbe live stock, upon which there J was
an insurauce of six hundred dollars. A
heavy thunder shower passed down the
valley in the early part ol the night, but it
is not known that lightning struck the barn.

Senatorial Conference.
The Republican Senatorial Conferenc e
met at the Jacobs House in this place on
the 2nd day of July, and on the eleventh
ballot, one conferee from MiiHin county aal
one conferee from Juniata county voted
with the solid three from Perry county and
elected E. R. Sponsler, of Perry, to repre
sent tho district in tbe State Convention.
The Perry county authority that selected
the conferees, iustructed for Ureenawalt,
and that was the cause of the impression
that Spongier had espoused tbe cause of
Ureenawalt.
Iloratea Stolen.
On the morning of the 6th inst., The
Horse and Mule Protection Company of
Juniata county were called upon in hot
baste to look up two horses that hal been
stolen from J. Kowe, who lives on the Cal
vin North farm, at this place. Preparations
were about completed to folio every road
that leads from the valley, when tho horses
were found ou the edge of tho Fowls'
woods near Port Royal. There are sever
al conjectures as to why the horses wore
left there. One is, that they were taken
ana ridden that f ar by two meu that had
been to this town that night. An other
conjecture is, that the thieves became
alarmed at tbe nearness of morning and
thought the woods not thick enough to
bide the animals in, and for that reason
turned them loose.
Iligbwayuien Foiled.
Several evenings aro Stephen Reno Jr.,
who lives in Slim V alley, about four miles
north ot this place, rode ou a mule to tho
house of boss miner, James Williams, who
is his father-in law. Williams gave him
twenty dollars. It was ten o'clock at night
When two men stepped up1 alongside of
Reno's beast as be journeyed home and de
manded bis money, at tbe same time oue of
th ) men quickly cut the bridle while the
other pulled bim off the beast. Both men
laid bold of him. He is a powerful man and
in the desperate spirit in which he was,
he was more than a match for tbura both.
After a desperate struggle in which his
clothing was torn and cut, iu the effort to
cut out bis pockets, he shook tho thieves off
and shouted murder and ran ia the direc
tion of Peter Clemen's bouse. Tbe high
waymen became frightened and ran in the
other direction. Clemens was not at home,
but bis family heard the noise of the battle.
Reno went to the house of miner Jones and
borrowed a loaded gun and walked home,
he was not molested. The mule got borne
safely with the loss of the bridle rain which
the robbers cut off in the first assault that
they made.
Communication.
Something was done to-day that is worth
mentioning to the public. During tho past
three years the people along Delaware run
were troubled by a mink that bad an un
known biding place along the run. It vis
ited the coops of ail who lived along tne
stream. Last year the number of chickens,
ducks and turkeys killed, were estimated at
about three hundred. This year it did not
kill quite so many. It entered the coops of
a few people and did some little damage. It
entered Jonathan Frey'a chicken coop last
Wednesday and Thursday nights and killed
thirty-four, not a trace of it could be found
until Saturday, as it had dragged the chick
ens away, when Mr. Frev was crossing the
run to go to work at Jonathan Reiser's he
aw quite a number of blow flies along the
stream, he went to see what it was and
fond it to be a number of chicken beads at
the cntrauco of several hole. He informed
the rest of us of the fact and it was agreed
that ws would dig the holes open. On
Mouduy morning Jonathan Frey, Joseph
Garnian, Jonathan Keiscr and two sons set
to digging- Wefirnt.-iug a ditch around
the den and erf-ned the holes to see if any
thing should ii..;!.c Its appttirance, at last a
mink ventured out ol one of the holes and
started to run aud was shot by Jonathan
Prey. By the aid jf a iog and two guns j
we succeeded iu Billing six full grown
minks. We hope tin will euu us trccr
of minks for a while along Delaware run.

The Republican state Conven
tion. ' Tbe Republican State Convention met in
the Hall of the House or Representatives at
Harrisbnrg at 10 o'clock P. M., last Wed
nesday, and at 2 o'clock P. M., adjourned,
having, in a most harmonious way transact
ed all of the business that was brought be
fore it. The convention was convened to
nominate a candidate for State Treasurer.
Five names were presented to the conven
tion from which to choose a candidate.
Matthew Stanley Quay, of Beaver county,
Jacob H. Longacre, of Bedford county,
James A. McDovitt, of Lancaster, Theo
dore H. Wigfen, of Blair county, and Henry
C. Greonwalt, of Franklin county were tbe
names presented. Tbe first ballot settled
the nomination so completely that a motion
to make it unanimous waa carried with en
thusiasm. The vote for tbe respective can
didates stood, Quay, 196 a, Longacre, 27 1,
Greenwalt 7, McDevitt 15, Wigton 6.
TBI CalDIDATE.
CoL M. S. Quay is of Pennsylvania
Scotch Irish stock that settled In the Prov
ince shortly after the Penns came over. The
Quays bare always been" Pennsylvanians
since they came across tbe sea. The father
of tbe Colonel was born in Chester county,
and became a Presbyterian Minister xf the
Gospel. He moved to Beaver county, when
the subject of this sketch was a boy the
youth after passing through schools in the
western part of the state, "commenced tbe
study of law in the office of Penny k. Ster
rett, the latter since promoted to the Su
preme Judgeship. Before he had completed
his stndies he traveled in Mississippi, Lou
isiana and Texas, where he taught school,
lectured, afterward completiug his legal
studies at Beaver. In lkol be was admitted
to the Bar, in 1859 appointed prothonotary
of the ccuuty a place which he filled so well
that he was re-elected in 1836 aud 1859.
He resigned this position to accept a lieu
tenancy tn the Pennsylvania Reserves, then
organising for service. While bis regiment
was awaiting at Camp Wright the call to the
front, be was summoned to llarrisburg, and
made Assistant Commissary General of the
State, with rank of Lietenant Colonel.
In this position
his oaiAT capacrrv roa okgaxizatioxs
and his quick mastery of details attracted
the favorable notice of the authorities, and
upon the transfer of this department to
Washington Governor Certin invited him to
serve as his private secretary. He accepted
and himself carried on tbe extensive corre
spondence incident to the early preparations
for war. In August 1802, ho was selected to
command the One Hundred and Thirty
fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, nine
month's service and continued in command
until asked to serve as State agent at Wash
ington. His resignation bad been accepted
prior to the battle of Fredericksburg, yet he
went with his regiment into tbe battle, and
by
DisTMOrisHED aaavitT
there won comylimentary mention in gen
eral orders. He filled the place as State
Agent with great satisfaction, and in lb63
was made Military Secretary by Governor
Curtin. Iu 1S05 he resigned to take a seat
in tbe Legislature, to which he had been
elected b Beaver and Washington couu
ties. He served iu the House with great
distinction, was chairman of its Ways and
Means Committee, and as such devised aud
passed the bill relieving real estate from
S tale Taxation.
In tbe busiest part of his life be waa edi
tor of the Beaver Radical, where his re
markably gif ted editorials did much to pro
mote Republican unity. There is no more
widely-known man than Colonel Quay, aud
it will be singular indeed if a multitude of
friends in this State do not see that
he is triumphantly elected as State Treas
urer. He completely meats the popular de
mand lor tbe nomination of able men for
public place.
TH It PLATFORM.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
as follows, and the report was adopted: The
Republicans of Pennsylvania in Convention
assembled reaffirm their unfaltering faith in
the cardinal principles of tbe Republican
partv, and will al:iere to taecu so long as
the contest between right and wrong con
tinues. Beaten, but not cast down, iu the
late Presidential election, snd advancing
conbdently tn another struggle, they de
clare: Tbe Repnb!icau party of Pennsylva
nia prociamis its advocacy of the repeal uf
the internal revenue tuxes except upon
spirituous and unit liquors. Tbe rereuues
necessary tor a liberal support of Ibe gov
ernment and the payment of pensions t our
disabled soldier their widows aud O'pliaus,
and of tbe principal aud intere.it of the pub
lic debt, should bo raised by an additional
levy upon imports ; and with a view to lilt
business iroru its present awl to guard it
against future depression, we insist not only
upon full protection to ali home industries,
but uposi a prompt revival of our commer
cial marine and promotion of toreign com
merce by proper discount ol duties imposed
on goods imported in American bottoms,
aud proper bounties to goods exported in
American bottoms.
The 'ive issues of the present campaign
are protection to American industry, not
ouly through adequate tariff laws, but such
as will effectually stop tbe importation of
of loreign contract iaoor; tbe establishment
of a ti-uu system of civil service, one which
will give competent officers snd yet not bind
either the political thought or actions of
American citizens, one which will give a fix
ed tenure of office and no removal during
tbe term of office, except lor adequate pub
lic cause; the necessity for Ibe entorcmsnt
of tbe right of every voter within our ni
tioual boundaries to freely cast his ballot
and have tbe same fairly counted at elec
tions, and to give to each and every man in
whatever section of the land be msy dwell
that equal and adequate protection before
the law to whicli he is justly untitled; the
preservation of a sound daancikl system,
tbe maintenance of a currency worth 1H)
cents on tbe dollar, at all tunes redeemable
in coin; the protection of tbe national Treas
ury I roiu uuwarrsnted, and especially Iro n
disloyal claims; tnu maiutunanceof the cred
it ol our government as established by Re
publican administrations; a just regani lor
our commercial relations with foreign na
tions, and a closer intercourse witn those on
tbe American continent; to provide resolute
ly for tbe protoction of American national
and industii.d independence; to maiutaiu
the standard of social condition which, in
consrasl to the circumstances of other coun
tries, American labor has thus far enjoyed;
to continue the coutest with undiminished
courage in behalf of our own development
against the enormous influences of toreigu
capital seeking possession of our markets;
to establish tbe truth in the government of
the country that tne highest duty of the Re
public, not only to Its own people, but to all,
is to prese.-ve its prosporo as existence, thus
to compel by its exa:nple tne modilicat ion
of harsh systems and tho political emanci
pation of other peoples.
To all of these general issues the Repub
lican party of Pennsylvania.and we believe
ot tbe nation in general, accords its most
aggressive support.
Tbe Republican party, recognising labjr
as the basis ua which the principle ol otir
government is founded, bjlieves the lb-jr
masses should receive tbe f ullest considera
tion in measure for Ibeir education, ad-vance-neut
and protection; it his already,
through its legislative iu ljority eiisettf t laws
furthering the Industries of tiio S'ale, ttie
interests of its mining population, pfut'Mt-
ine uouest labor airamst l!:e tin.'. a. tau.va
competition of convict contract Ubor, re
moving taxes from manufacturing corpora
tions, thereby giving promise of remunera
tive employment to many suffering from the
prevailing depression, legalizing co-opera-
uuu, productive and distributive, providing
for tree education in industrial art . w..li
as others tending to the general good of
uivra wno toil; we condemn all contracts
tor tne Importation of foreign labor as tend
ing to reduce to starvation the wages of the
laboring men of Pennsylvania, and demand
that the existing laws against this will be
strictly enforced.
We at the same time invite public atten
tion to the acts of the present Democratic
national and State administrations; to the
nrjust war of the former upon "offensive
partisans;" to its hypocritical avoidance of
pledges touching the civil service; to its Star
Chamber proceeding against Republicans
for whose removal no public reason can be
given and to its constantly disloyal prefer
ence for the rebel elements of the Democrat
ic party of tbe south and the semi-rebel ele
ments of tbe same party at the north. Some
attention to tbe sets of the Democratic State
administration cannot be withheld in view
of its unjust, inexcusable and painfully fre
quent abuse of the veto power; its studied
proscription of tbe Union soldier and denial
of claims universally sanctioned at the time
of his enlistment; its want of charity breadth
and liber together with a partisan bias car
ried to extremes cot dreamed of by any of the
better elements which called it into power.
With the Administration the Republican
party takes direct issue, and carries its ap
peal to a people disappointed in every re
suuable expectation aud promise.
Tbe Republican members of the Legisla
ture having twice passed apportionment bills
more liberal to their political opponents than
tbe existing law, and the Democratic mem
bers thereof having defeated the first meas
ure, and a Democratic Governor having em
ployed bi veto power against the second,
tbe Republican members have properly dis
charged their constitutional duty in the
premises. Their action is unequivocally en
dorsed, and tbe responsibility fcr the failure
of this legislation rests with tbe Democrat
ic party.
We especially commend the action of the
Republican Legislature for the high regard
which it manifested toward our manufactur
ing, mining, farming and general laboring
interest;, and its patriotic and successful ef
forts to represent tbe interests of tbe grand
army of soldiers which Pennsylvania con
tributed to the support of the general gov
ernment. Tbe yearning hearts of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania go eut with sincure aRectiou
and sympathy with the old bero Ueneral
Grant in this hour of his sad affliction. Tbey
revere aud love bim for the great services he
has rendered bis country, and honor bim for
his noble msnly fortitude while be faces his
inevitable fate. Death may rob us of bim but
he will live forever in the hearts of his coun
trymen. The lollowing resolution was added to the
platform :
To the Republicans of Pennsylvania this
conaention presents for State Treasurer a
candidate who baa won celebrity for bravery
in war and wisdom in peace, a life-long ear
nest, radical Republican, yet withal so good
and generons in his views and condut that
his every effort has been directed to securing
tbe unity and success of tbe party. This life
record entitles him to tbe support of a united
party in a State which prides itself not only
in being tbe Kevstoue of Union, but the
centre of that political thought which best
guards and promotes American interests.
Another resolution was adopted that the
party favors tho repeal of the unjust limit
claim respecting pensions.
Charles Maver was the Republican dele
gate from this county. . R. Sponsler was
the Senatorial delegate. The former voted
for Quav, the latter for Greenwalt. Joseph
F. Martin was appointed member of the
State Committee for Juniata.

S. C. Leach mt with a sudden death
about noon, on Sunday, J uue o. Ha was
in tbe service of farmer, William Puffen
berger. and in the earlier hours of the morn
ing he had started to ride for the recovery
of tho horses that had koen stolen from
farmer Rowe. When at Oakland, be learn
ed that tbe horses bad been recovered. He
weut back to tbe home of his employer,
put the horse that he had hewn riding in
the barn, and attended Duuker preaching
ia Happy Hollow school bouse, about three
miles east of this town. After being to
preaching, he hastened to the barn, which
is a short distauce from the school house
to water the farm horses. He. turned the
animals nut loose, excepting oue, which he
led to water by a halter strap. Tbe horses
that were loose began to caper, ani so ex
cited the oi.e that he was leading that it
gave a sadden leap to one side, and so
overcame thn youth's balance that he stag
gered and fell a distance of eiht feet,
against the end of a 1"K on which Ibe wat
ering trough rested. His stomach and heart
were the places of contact with tbe log.
He arose from tbe tall, aud remarked that
he did not feel hurt, but within the period
t a few minutes be sat down, then he lay
down, he was quickly carried to the house
of bis employer, ami Dr. D. M. Crawford
was sent tor. but lou beloro tho doctor
reached tbe sceue be was dead. He died
jn aoout twenty minutes attor the occur
rence. He was aged .ibout seventeen years.
II is father is Watsou Leach. The fall on
tbe end of the log, it is believed slopped
the Wolking of the two important organs,
tbe heart and stoiuach,-uid produced
almost instant death.
