The only deliver ance it baa ever made on the question of temperance ia to favor an amendment to the State constitution leaving the question ith tbe people to vote for or agaiust the amendment. It is putting the question with the people just where it belongs. The . Bloomfleld Time says : . Friday igbt a week some mutton loving scamp stole sheep belonging to Mr. John Bruner, of Carroll township, out of the barn yard, and took it in tbe cornfield near by, and killed it.

Tbe Newport Ledger remarks : It is ru mored hereabouts that some parties in this county are deeply interested in tbe specu lative lite insurance business stili.

This sppears to be an unlucky summer for shows." The Democratic party by its actions ex presses the belief that the temperance peo ple are not worth noticing. In marked dia- tinction is tbe action of tbe late Republican Convention tbat proposed to submit the ques- of amendment to tfrevconstitutiou, for or against liquor, to a vote of tbe people. The American offices are filled by a vote of tbe people and all great questions tbat effect ev eryone, like tbe iiqior traffic, ahould be left to a vote of (he people. One bears a great deal of dissatisfaction expressed, among the erring brethren about their party management The Independent Democrats claim that tbey have been badly treated by tbe rg Jrs, aql George Conn, Ezra D.

It it had not been for tbe offices that Black and Randall have to peddle to the best bidder, Wallace wonld not have been sacrificed. However, all this trouble among the erring brethren is not the business of Republicans, further than that tbey may speak of it and comment upon it as among the public events of the day. A. a a public event the action ot the Democratic State Convention is now be fore tbe people of the State. The Fulton Republican of last week says .- The barn of J ere Brindle, in St. Thomas, Franklin county, was burned to the ground last Wednesday night. A tramp who pass ed the stable about 8 o'clock struck a match or, the barn door to light his pipe and threw the burning stick on tbe ground. It is thonght this set fire to the bsrn.

On Monday the Perry county Republican convention declared for the re-nomiuatioa of Congressman Atkinson. Some sights ago, at an nnseasonable hour, a number of persons were prowling about the buildings of John Stoner, not far from this town. Upon the discovery that there were eight or ten marauders, several guns in the house were taken up and the midnight prowlers were challenged. Tbey fled, a load of shot waa sent after them.

Cra mer, while engaged in superintending the loading of a car with boxes at MifUin sta tion, lost a gold masonic pin with bis name engraved thereon, which had been present ed to bim by the railroad employees at Mif Uin. He prized it highly, and had given op all hopes of ever finding it. The other day a party residing in tbe vicinity of Ryde was overheard remarking that he bad a gold pin with W.,f). Cramor's namo on it, which hu bad found in a freight car five years ago. This information was at once communicat ed to Mr. C, who immediately took steps to recover bis long-lost prize. It is now ia bis possession, and Wils is exceedingly nap py over his good luck. The Lewistown Sentinel of last week says : Monday night aoout eight o'clock, Nettie, aged eleven years, and Mary, aged nine, children of Jacob Uarland, residing ia the Bratton row, opposite tbe Methodist cemeteiy, undertook to fill a lamp in tbe dark. After they had poured tbe oil for a little ifine it seemed to them it was running over, when the oldest girl said she would light a match and see, but the younger took this upon herself, and hastily striking it too close to tbe oil the gas flamed up and set ting fire to ber clothes burned her so seri ously that she died Tuesday morning about seven o'clock. Mrs. Harlaod and friends residing in the neighborhood ran to their assistance and tearing up a strip of carpet soon succeeded in extinguishing tbe tire, but too late to save tbe little girl. Mrs. Beckie Ualler, an aunt of tbe children, residing in the adjoining bouse, picked the lamp up and carried it out, the consequence being that her bands are seriously burned, and in her efforts to save ber daughter Mrs. Uarland was also badly burned about the lower limbs. On last Friday evening we were the re cipients of a call from Postmaster Crawlord Dr. Sand 0 and tbe enterprising boot and shoe man O. W.

While we were gazing upon them with compassion they seemed to feel their utter rout from afar off and their features hecame downcast, and tbey had a faraway and scared look. Postmaster Craw ford was so moved as to confess that he felt that defeat for tbem was in the air, and tbat last, but not the least, their daily air castles and nightly dreams of representing the Democracy of MifHintown, as Samuel Josephs, Sanders and Squire Mc Mullen would not be realized. Oentlemen, we feel for von. but we can't reach yon. Such are the fortunes of war. Csll again gentlemen and we will condole with yon every time. Indian Mound HarTeat Home. The Indian Mound Harvest Homs is one of tbe great annual events of Central Tus carora Valley. Its annual celebration of the harvest is held on the ground where ns tions, now lost, straggled in deadly conflict for the masterv of the vallev. and many of the people who meet there every year are tbe descendants of men who fought with the English against tbe French and Indian (or the possession of America. The people of to-day in that valley are the descendants ol men and women who lived in' Tuscarora dnring the revolution of 1776, and no as sembly can be gotton together, anywhere on tbe North American continent, nnless men and women would be picked from a large number of counties, that is so largely made up of revolutionary stock, and to-dar they love tbe barveat home grove meetings as their fathers, grand-fathers, and great-grand-fathers lore! them. The east side of the river has populatioa that is as ex- clnmvely of revolutionary stock as are the people of tbe west side ot the river, but with tbe exception of here and there a fam ily, keir grand-fathers lived during the days of 1776 in Berks and Lancaster coun ties. The ancestors of many of them were German non-combatant tbat were attracted to Pennsylvania by the English non-combatant government that William Penn had es tablished, and their harvest home gather ings were generally confined to a religious meeting at a certain house or in a barn on a certain Sabbath tbat was set apart for a barxest home sermon by tbe preacher of the congregation. The ancestors of many of the people ol the east side of tbe river were German Reform and Lutheran in their re ligious belief, whose advent to America was to seek a place of religions toleration, they too, were thankful for bountiful harvests, but their harvest home meeting was gener ally eonflned to a special sermon by their past-jr, on a stated Sunday, in tbe church building of tbe congregation. So then read er, when we take a survey of the whole peo ple of this mountain-girt county ot Juniata, fifty miles long by ten miles in width, we find it made np ot harvest borne people de scended almost exclusively from men and women who came to America long betore the French and ladian war and the struggle for independence in 1776. They came not for gold oi fame, but for a home for religious and political tolerance. The place to see a repre sentative harvest home assembly of people oi aaclusivelr American ancestry is to at tend the Indian Mound Harvest Home of Cec'rsJ Tuscarora V alley. If you have nev er t.n there, attend next year and see the typical American ol Scotch-Irish and Her man etock as yon can no where else see it in tbe world. The assembly, last Saturday, was presided over by J. Nevin Poineroy. Rev. 0. B. Dewing, of Academia Presbyterian church, conducted the religious exercises. D. S. Mc Williams delivered the opening ad dress, abd was followed by Rev. Mr. Ma gill, Mr. Uibba, Mr. Jacobs, Rev. Dewing, A. J. Patterson, and others, whose names are not re-called to mind at this moment, Oua ot tbe interesting features of the occa sion was the harvest hymns and songs by tbe Academia Presbyterian church choir. Their song representation of grass mowing, aud bay raking delighted tbe multitude. It ia a choir of hrsl rate singers with clear full voices. There was brass bana inusio in ah jndance. The canaidate were nearly all there with their chief backers and there was as much politics among the men aa can well be crowded on that much territory in one day. Tbe beat of order prevailed through out the entire multitude, and all experienc ed a day of enjoyment and harvest homing and thanksgiving in the woods. no Oil or Gait A geologist says, tbe Marceilus shale Is t'ie out crop ol the gas belt.
