It is a fortu nate thing for the lawyers that, whenever a nun is created who has tbe pecu.iar faculty for legal acquirements aud controversy, at tbe same time enough fools spring into exis tence to give bim a good living."

Farm land in Cumberland county does not seem to bave depreciated in value aa may tie learned from the following item, taken from a Carlisle paper; The Abrahirus r ror erties were sold on tbe 7th. Tbe farm known as tbe "Diller Farm," three miles east of Newville, containing 176 acres, was sold to Samuel Snyder, for $108 per acre. The old insnsion farm was purchased by George Abrahims at $87 per acre. On Tnir. what is known aa the "Keller Farms," near Centreville, were sold. The 137 acre tract to William A. Brown, for $105 per acre. The other containing 164, i u- n, a. W. INeidicb. at $102 per acre. The chairman of tbe Republican party, of JuniaU, and tbe representative dele gate to the state convention used to be select- a it the countv committee. Now they are elected by a vote of tbe people of the nnv at tbe Primar election. It is urooosed to change back to the old system ( selecting tbe officers named by the county couiuinu. A vote for the amendments, will give tbe county committee control of the chairman and representative delegate A vote against tbe amendments will leave the election of those officers in the bands or tbe voters of the party. The present disastrous division io the Democratic party Is an account of tbe manner in which tbe Democratic county committee selected representative delegates to tbe S tate con vention. The Independents declare that they were cheated. How will you voter The greatest educator is a newspaper. It does not teach reading, writing or arithme tic. These studies are text book studies and while they are the first and absolutely neccessary part of an education, they are a mere bagalell of tho great fund of inform ation of educated people. It requires no keen penetration to discover the fact that the fund of information, derived from the whole series of text boosts, including the languages taught in the higher schools is a limited fund of information compared to what lies ontside or text bock learning. A news paper presents to its readers a field of general information. Every department of life, of business, of religion, of literature of politics is passed through its columns, ; to a greater or less degree as circumstances and times dictate and in that way unconsciously the newspaper becomes the greatest educator. If jou nave not such an educator in the bouse sub scribed at once . for your county paper. To your family it is worth many times ov er tbe price of a year's subscription. Sub scribe for the SiSTixiL aid Rsplblicas $1.00 a year in advance. One dollar and fifty cents if not paid within three months. Democratic County Conven tion. The Democratic County Convention met on Monday afternoon to count np the vote that was cast in the several townships on Saturday, for the respective candidates. Tbe ju lgea were as follows : John Ktka MitHintown, Henry Mingle Fermanagh, Cyrus Sieber Walker, Samuel Stong Fayette, John McDonald Patterson, John Partner Milford, Wm. Isenberg Port Royal, F.

Theie was nil little canvassing among tbe judges as to wbo should call the meet ing to order for tbe old county chairman was not present to discharge tbis duty. A regular requested Frank Ooodman to open tbe meeting which he did by nominating, John Niemond for President, but Mr. Nie nioud declined the honor. A long funeral like silence fell upon the convention. Botb regular and independent seemed to be afraid to make a move, tbe election of Sat urday seemed to have knocked tbe wind out ol botb parties. It took the convention 15 minutes to recover itself, which it did by James Loudon nominating Samuel Stong for President. Stong declined for want of hearing. Irwin Knight nominated John McDonald; the nomination almost took the breath of the regulars for John has suddenly come to tbe front as a hard kicker. However the Independents iu tho Convention were so confused that they failed to second the nominstion. Samuel Stong nominated Frank Goodman, who was unanimously elected President. The regulars got io their books git in their books now, and Robert Parker and Wm. Jackuian straight ont regulars were elected secretaries without a dissenting vote. With the convention thus orgtnized tbe returns were received as follows. Congress.

Mr. Swab made a speech of a few words and declared that he can vote for the nom inees. John Etka moved and seconded a reso lution makinc J. R Jenkins tbe member of the state commitee. A county committoe was selected, and a a number of resolutions were passed. TBI TlCKST. R. W. Humphryj tbe nominee for Legis lature waa born in Chester county, about fnrtv vears aro. He bas been engared in agricultural and lumbering pursuits, and in tbe common language of the politician be is known as a kicker. Jobn McMeen, one of the tominees for Associate Judge ia a native of Jnniata, about hi years of ago, a farmer by occupa tion, and U known to the politicians as a kicker. . George W. Fink ono of the nominees for Associate Judge is a native of Juniata, about fifty years ot age, and is a black smith by profession. He ia known to. tbe politicians as the learned blacksmith and is a regular of tbe straigbtest order. Wilber McCachen the nominee for coun ty Surveyor, is a native of Jnntata, a lum berman by trade and I dont care kind of a politician ; he is a regular when it suits and be kicks when be pleases. James Adams, the newly elected County Chairman Is a native of Itbis county, aged about forty five years, a farmer by occupa tion and is looked upon aa a regular with an angling glance for the Independents. TBI KSC1T. There are men who aay, "I told you so," but in the face of the facta that the Inde pendents had perfected an o rganisition that was to do service at the general elec tion against the regulars, the "I told you so," does not sound well- Tbe independ ents expected defeat and their organization was Intended for battle against the men who should defeat them. Up to Mondav morning it was thongbt that tbe veteran reg ular Jenkins bad carried the day, and at 10 o'clock when it became apparent that he bad been defeated by Humphrey, an inde pendent, the kickers themselves, were more surprised than the regulars. The nomina tion of McMeeo was not so much of a sur prise. There were men, however, who did not believe that he could be nominated. Tbe ouly one of the column of tbe regulars that ia left standing is Fink. Tbe Indepen dents were not satisfied with makings dead rush at the candidates of the regulars in the respective districts, but they set up their own return judges for election in a nn rubor of tbe townships. Now that they have been successful in sweeping the field, what will they do with tbe regulars ? Must the regulars disband their organization, or will the Independents dUband their organi zation, and refrain from kicking, now tbit they have kicked everybody excepting Fink off tbe ticket. The situation bas turn ed up as no man expected it, aud there is no prophet in the land to fortell the result. Bis; Spring Presbytery The C. P.

V,.m Oi-tl.. ....t lllllV A Creaking Hinge Is dry and turns hard, until oil is applied, after which it moves easily. When the Joints, or hinges, of the body are stiffened and inflamed by Rheumatism, they can not be moved without causing the most excruciating pains. Ayer'a Sarsaparilla, by its action on the blood, relieves this condition, and restores the joints toood working order. Ayer'a Sarsapsrilla has effected, in our city, many most remarkable cures, in cases which baiileil the efforts of the most experienced physicians. Were it necessary, I could give the names of many imliviilunls wl;o have been cured by taking tbis medicine. In my case it hLa worked wonders, relieving me of Rheumatism, after being troubled with it for years. In this, and all other diseases arising from Impure blood, there is no remedy with which I am acquainted, that affords such relief as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. R. U. Lawrence, M. P., iiultimorc, Md.
