There arc some of our subscribers falling behind to such an extent in their subscription accounts, and the same are so much needed by us at present, that we have to request their early attention to the same. Important Notioe. The attention of voters throughout the county is especially called to the following dates: Lut day for being assessed or registered— Thursday, September 2, 1880. Last day for payment of taxes— Saturday. Oc 10Last"day for being naturalized—Saturday Oc tober 3, 1880. Republican Meeting. There will be a Republican meeting at Centreville, on Friday evening, Sept, 4, 1880. There will be speak ers present from abroad. All Republi cans are requested to attend. IF the Eagle does not, this week, give the names of the members of the County Committee, "a majority" of whom it alleges signed a certain paper it published last week, then its falsehood will be known to all and con fessed of itself. We again call for pub lication of the names. ME. R. J. MAHAN, of Middlesex township, sends us an account of a Re publican meeting at Sandy Hill, at which Henry Flick, Alex. Leslie and Jacob Flick were the orators. A Gar field club was organized at the same time with Henry Flick for President, T. 0. Tuttle for Secretary and R. J. Mahan for Corresponding Secretary. WE had the pleasure last week of a call at our office from Mr. George B. Otto, of Cincinnati, who was on a visit to his parents in this place. Mr. Otto has for the past twenty years been connected with the Cincinnati Daily Gazette, the last ten of which as a proof reader on the same, a very la borious position, but one in which he has acquired quite a reputation. His many friends here are always pleased to see and greet him on his return to his old home. THK Eagle still seems to be troubled about the Mercer conference. The conferees there of Mr. McJunkin did not suit Mr. Robinson. Of course not. But he is quite mistaken when he says that Dr. A. W. Crawford de clined attending the Conference. Dr. C. was, with a number of other gen tlemen and leading Republicans of the county, invited to be present, and nothing but unavoidable business pre vented him. To our knowledge he re gretted much that he could not at tend. Mr. McJunkin has no warmer friend in the county than Dr. Craw ford, nor one who is taking a deeper interest in his election to Congress. POLITICAL interest at present cen tres on the election, next Monday week for State officers in Maine. Last year the combined Democratic and Greenback vote of the State exceeded the Republican vote by 492. This year the Democrats and Greenbackers are again united but the Republicans expect to carry the State with some thing like ten thousand of a majority. Vermont elects State offices next Tues day but as the State is always Repub lican but little interest is felt by outsid ers in her election. Maine yet adheres to the old-time Puritan idea of requiring a majority of all the votes cast to elect a State tick et. In 1878 Governor Conner had 15,- 115 plurality over his highest competi tor, but he was beaten under the ma jority law by 1,243. Under a like law Governor Hoyt would have been re turned as defeated the same year by 59,405, instead of being elected by 22,- 353 majority, or what is commonly called majority in Pennsylvania. In 1879 Governor Davis present, Repub lican Governor, received 21,176 plural ity over his highest competitor, but he was defeated by about 1,000 major ity, and had to be chosen by the Leg islature. Amendments to the Constitu tion of the State are now pending for adoption or rejection by the people, ac cepting the common sense system of electing by plurality and postponing the the State elections to November. MEETING OP THE BAB. The proceedings of the meeting, held last Wednesday by the members of the Bar of this county, in taking ac tion upon the death of Hon. L. L Mc- Guffin, late President Judge of the Courts of this county, will be found upon the first page of the CITIZEN this week. The meeting was very fully at tended, and but one sentiment pre vailed as to the integrity and indus try of the deceased as a Judge aud his high social qualities as a man. THROUGH the Eagle last week Thomas Robinson and others, as is supposed, repeat a silly story, to the effect that Dr. Roberts should have said, at the Mercer conference, that if he were nominated he would expend of his means liberally. As Dr. Rob erts was not nominated of course there is nothing in this supposed '"mare's nest," and therefore we paid no atten tion to it. Aud as the character for honesty of Mr. McJunkin and his con ferees, as well as the character of Messrs. Robinson and others are well known in this community, we were disposed to consider their insinuation somewhat as the man did the kick of the mule—to wit: the source from which it came. But as these honest gentlemen insist on a notice of the mat ter, we will say, that, as to the insinu ation in the said article, it is wholly and unqualifiedly false so far as Mr. McJunkin or any of his conferees are concerned. And so far as we know and we know nothing personally—the amount of the whole matter seems to be, that Dr. Roberts expressed a will ingness, in the event of his nomination, to contribute generously to the cam paign expenses in the different counties of the district, our own among them, to the county committees of the same, through their Chairmen. This was certainly nothing unusual. It is well known that candidates for Congress have to do that, willing or unwilling, So this is the size of the mole hill. It seems to people here these gentlemen are treading upon unsafe ground when they impute dishonest or corrupt mo tives to any other persons. Silence would be wisdom on their part. When some old matters connected with their Legislative life, their Bank manage ment and affairs, and some other matters not so old that we might alladejto, but will not now, are cleared up, then this present matter might be taken up again. And in the mean time we submit to the intelligent people of Butler county whether Mr. McJunkin, or those now attacking him, are most en titled to their confidence and sup port. We may have other inquiries to make hereafter. A Resignation that Means Some thing. PORTLAND, Me., August 25.—Hon. E. H. Gove, Chairman of the Green back State Committee and Secretary of State under Governor Garcelon, has written a letter to the Greenback State Committee resigning his position and membership in their organization, and declaring his purpose to hereafter act with the Republicans. •Biat.iTnat.infr Maine.—Careful Figur ing on the Result in September. AUGUSTA, Me., Aug. 21—A promi nent Republican politician, who has traversed the entire State, has talked with the Democratic and Greenback- Fusionist leaders,, and has carefully noted the general drift of public opin ion, makes the following estimate of majorities at the approaching elec tion: Oountie*. Hep. Muj.' Counties. Feu. Maj. Androscoggin 850 Aroostook 400 Cumberland 1,250 Knox 950 Franklin 300 Waldo 800 Hancock 8001 Lincoln 200 Oxford 300 Penobscot 800 Piscataquis 500 i Sagadahoc 1,200 Kennebec 2,0001 Somerset 250; Washington 500 York 800 Total 9,750 Total 2,150 2,150 Republican maj'y,7,6oo He says : "We have never had such a campaign in our State. Up to this time we have had more meetings than we have ever had before in one entire campaign. We have three weeks left, and we understand perfectly well that we have got to keep it up until election day. We shall elect the House and Senate by larger majorities than last year. Shall elect an entire Congres sional delegation (a gain of two) and our Governor by not less than 7,600. Anything short of this and I shall be disappointed. In fact, I think our ma' jority may reach near 10,000." A Harvest Home. EDITORS CITIZEN :—ln your last is sue you had the goodness to notice the Harvest Home Celebration held by the Springdale Evangelical Lutheran Church of Concord township, on Thursday 19th, last. Will you permit me to say further that it was indeed a most enjoyable affair. The attendance was unusually large, embracing the three congregations in Rev. Stream er's charge and the whole neighbor hood. The arrangements were, iu all respects complete. The addresses by Revs. Marshall and Bean of the Pres byterian church, Rev. Clyde of the M. E. church and Revs. Felker and Zim mer of the Lutheran church were not only appropriate but interesting and edifying ; and the singing conducted by Prof. John Andre, assisted by Mr. Jacob Halstine, leader of the church choir, and participated iu by our young friends of other churches, was certain ly well rendered and delightful. The presence of the Unionville martial band was au agreeable surprise and contributed much to the enjoyment of the occasion ; and as to the provisions, including the coffee—everybody said it was all excellent, and what was left would have fed half as many more. Too much cannot be said in praise of the good conduct of all. The order was unexceptionally good and every body went away well pleased. As a festive occasion it was just such an ex pression of gratitude to God for a bountiful harvest as an intelligent, pious Christian people might be ex pected to render. PARTICIPANT. Uilf* jKntlee fist., JlteisjfcjeroJbwK? I, t§§o. Advice to Young Mon. Asaistaut Secretary of State John B. Hoy, one of President Lincoln s Private" Secretaries, delivered an elo quent Republican speech at Cleve land on Saturday evening, in closing which he presented the following ad mirable picture to the thoughts of young men. He said : In concluding I have one word to say to the voung men of this State to those who are just beginning their civic life, who are just casting their first vote in a National election. Many of you arc Democats through some accident of association, without having maturely weighed the history and the principles of the two parties. I ask you to look back for twenty vears and see upon which side the continuing honor and glory lie. Which party elected Abraham Lin coln ? Which party opposed, villified, and finally killed him ? Which party freed the slaves? Which built the Pacific Railroad? Which saved the Union aud the honor of the flag Which sustained the financial integ rity of the Nation, and made its cred it the best h the world? If it be right to regard with pride the fufill mcnt of your duties as citizens, look around you and see who boasts that he voted for Breckenridge in 1860. Who brags that he cast his first vote for Vallandigham ? What father tells his children that he labored to put Buchanan in the White House ? On tilft Other side is a record of glory and good repute, *}»icb sheds some thing of lustre on the declining (Jays of every man who fought that des perate battle against slavery and trea son. On the other it is a shameful story of half-hearted loyalty or open rebel lion, of ignorant or malicious opposi tion to light and knowledge, of blind and futile def}apce to the stars in their course fighting for frpedom and progress. Why should young men== for youth is generous and strong ; it looks hopefully to the future; it holds its honest brow proudly to the broad ening dawn—why should young men choose to cast in their lot with a dis» credited and soiled record ; with a par ty which only asks of the present, the plunder of office, and of history, only oblivion ? With what noble thought, with wk&t fjigh enterprise, has that party been if) tfre last quar ter of a century ? What purpose' but that of a blind obstruction has it served. I firmly believe that it has no space left it for repentence. Its place is fixed iu history. It forms the dark back ground upon which the deeds of valor and of wisdom of Republican worthies stand out in burning lines of light, It is written and can never be forgotten, that iu the long contest by which the Nation was saved, a race enfranchised, the Nation'* honor sustained and height ened, this Democratic party, as a party, despite the heroism and loyality Qf in dividuate, stood by in sullen obstruc tion, refusing alike the labor and the glory. This is no fit fellowship for bravo and magnanimous youth. If you wish to cast a vote you will be proud of when you are old, if you wish to take part in the sympathies and the memo ries of a great era- on the side of light and liberty and progress, you will never have a better chance than now. ■ The national glory and the National welfare have been in Republican keep ing for twenty years, with results you see. In the ranks of that party are en listed the greater portion of tie virtue and intelligence of the land, while its counsels are hallowed by the tradi tions of the patriots and martyrs of the great war. Its past is luminous with the story of beneficent achievements; its future is as bright with promise as the radiance of the morning stars. What the Republioan Party Has not Done. The Republicans have done some noble things—things that will be re membered as long as there is history. But there are some things they did not do: They did not use an army to force slavery into Kansas. They did not fire upon Fort Sumter. They did not attempt secession. They did not plunder the nation of its arms. They did not inaugurate rebellion. 'fbey did not drive American com merce from the They did not "huznaU'' oror Union disasters. They did not "huzzah" over rebel victories. They did not mourn over rebel de feats. They did not oppose enlistments in the Union army. They were not draft rioters. They did not hang Union colored men in the city of New York, or burn their asylums. They did not rebel against the Union iu that city, or require troops aud gun-boats to overawe tbem into j obedience to the law. They were not "Knights of the Golden Circle." The did not commit the attrocities of Libby, Belle Isle, Salsbury and An dersonville. They did not oppose emancipation, They were not "Klu-Klux.,' They did not commit the butchery of Fort Pillow. They did not commit the horrible massacre at New Orleans. They did not murder Dixon. They did not butcher the Chisholm family. They did not Massacre black men at Hamburgh. They did not scourge, and hang, and shoot and murder men for opinion's sake. They did not organize the Louisiana White League or the South Carolina rifle clubs. They did not drench the south with the blood of inoffensive colored men. They did not invent the "Mississip pi plan." They did not use the tissue-ballots. They are not "Moonshiners." They do not resist the National au thorities. They do not set their State above the nation. They do not try to destroy the na tion's credit. They do not try to pauperize the American mechanic. They have not been an impediment to national growth. They have not been a hindrence to the people's prosperity. Can the Democratic party say as much ? The people can trust a party that has not done ttege thing*:, but they cannot trust a party that in whole or in part did them.— Ex. t Riot Bribery Cases. HARRISBIRO, August 28.—District Attorney Hollinger has entered a nolle jirosegui in (lie cases of Dr. E. K. Shoemaker, of this city, and Repre sentative lhvniel C. Clarke, of Phila delphia, charged with corrupt solicita tion during the progress of the riot dam ages bill through the House. This was done because of the insufficiency of ev idence against both. Shoemaker is orffc of the original defendauts whom the House Committee were directed to prosecute. The action of the District Attorney in his case was made with their consent, as they thought it was the weakest one of the lot, aud were anxious to reduce the number. Clarke was returned by the grand jury on tes timony elicited in the jury-room. His case is also regarded as weak. The bail off (Jeo. P. Smith and Christ Long has been renewed for their ap pearance in November. Two Fairs FINDLAY, Aug. 2*.—Mrs. Benjamin Tice, an inmate of the county infirma ry, gave birth this morning to four children, two boys and two girls The mother and children are doing well. The weight of the children aggregated twenty-four pounds. Ci jine at p. Picnic—Probable Murder in Wampum, JLavvt'ence County, Wampum, a small manufacturing town on the E. & I'. R. R., was in a terrible state of excitement last Mon day, over what will likely prove to be a murder. The victim is Sylvanus E. Beighley aud l)is assailants are Henry Epker, John Clary and James lio\v<len ; all of wi om are residents of Vf ampijni op yi cinity. The particulars of the affair, as nearly as can bo learned; are There was a Catholic picnic held near Wampum on Saturday last, and among those in attendance were Beighley, Ep ker, Clary and Bowden. Towards even ing the "last three named approached Beighley, ai}d adtjresaed him, saying tJiat he had heard several times at the picnic that he (Beighley) had been making uncomplimentary remarks about t-he Catholics and the Catholic religion, aud that bo wlsbpd fq JvP,ow if he had been informed rightly. Beighley replied that he had made no such remarks as those attributed to him, upon which Epker offered to shake hands. As Beighley reached forth his hand to take that of Epker, Clary and Boftr.dP ll threw themselves upon bim, grasped his ii-uia tightly, &ftd {ie}d him as in a vise. After he had been thus secured, Epker drew something from his pocket which resembled a handker chief, in which was tied some hard substance, and struck bim a tremen dous bJcny oyer the left temple with it, felling bim to ttye gtoun4 if fi<3 fcacj been struck with a sledge-hammer, lie had no sooner fallen than Clary and Bawdeu jumped on his prostrate body and began to kick him on the head v/itb their heavy shoes. While they were kicking bi»» pker ypllsd oijt; "Kick the of a ——f"' Having satisfied their brutal passions or, t|»P body of their victim they left him, to all dead. The unfortunate object of the muruei': ous assaults was taken to his home and a physician called. An examina tion developed that Beighley's left temple had been completely crushed in, tbe wound haying the appearance of being made by some tbree-cqcnprpf}, blunt instrument, which had made a jagged and horrible looking gash. In addition to this injury a large cut, some four inches in length, had bpen made on the top of his head, evidently when he was kicked. Another large gash was found on the right side of his head, which was also supposed to have bye?) iqade bv the kicks he had received. The docto? attendance, after doing all in bis power to relieve the suffering man, gave as his opinion, that the wounds would undoubtedly prove fatal. —Two of those cases which may well be pronounced strauaer than fiptiqn have just been brought to liglit. 11l lliis St4tp a husband lias found his wife and daughter after a separation of twenty-three years, during which period the parties believed each other to be dead. The wife hail re-married, but the second husband was dead, so that there was no chance for an Enoch-Arden case there. The keooud instance is that a man of seventy, who lias turnml up in Brooklyn after an absence of forty years, and made a social sensation by claiming to be the lawful inhoritor of a share of the large property left by a woman who died in 1879, after living for thirty years as the wife of a citizen of Brooklyn, 'f he old man declares that he came to Brooklyn in 1 8.12, and finding that his wife had remarried, went away without making himself known. To add to the legal complications, which are many, he is accompanied by a son who asserts that he u Uilp heir to the estate, on the ground that the child***. L/ (!i£ second and illegal mar riage have no legal ckuUnf-e. 'flic children in question naturally object, ami the identity of the alleged father and son. All of which" furnishes abundant material for a ro mance of the first order, and a splendid chance for the lawyers. —S. 0, Dunham, tj. lawyer of Hart ford, Conn., went to Cojoratla kit month to pass his vacation ut the various resorU of that State. The first week of August found Mr. Dunham, the Rev. E. J. Lamb, Mr. Hubbell and a veteran guide attempting the ascent of Long's Peak. Just as the summit was reached a violent snow and ice storm enveloped the peak, rolling up the "trough" from the west tika an immense white ball, and the cloud bearing ttin sio>i» soon proved to be heavily charged with electricity , 'tut- pjresenpe of the fluid was discovered ut the rode monument erected by Colonel Long antl his party wln-u they explored the peak in 18t>0. Under the lec of this pile of stones the party attempted to take shelter from the tempest. They at once detected a low singing sound something like tlitf of an imprisoned insect. This rapidly gaihurt-'ij j;> volume until it more re sembled a fusilade of The party, fearing a more violent explosion, *m] they might find a shelter presenting less'sur face ami elevation to the thunder-cloud, forsook this place and moved to the open rock field. One of the party, thinking henad discovered through the storm an available shelter, pointed it out with his hand, wl(ich member began an exhibition similar to that seen at the rocks, and its owner was caused not a little pain ami consternation. The fluid rapidly increased in activity, and Mr. Lamb and Mr. Dunham re ceived'several distinct shocks which seemed to scorch their ears and foreheads and singe their hair. They described the sensation a<» similar to that which would be produced by suddenly q heated wire tightly about the head just below the tiu. qf tip' hat, accompanied by pricking of the heaH, shoulder?, £;_;Jdiness, slight nausea ami a display of blue, tuc&biibg llauie. Mr. Dunham believed for an instant that among other results his hair had been burned off, and upon raising his hand to his head to investigate the problem, received another of still greater violence. Mr. Hubbell could distinctly see a blue light playing aboat his head. During this display, thunder, un accompanied by visible lightning, was rumb ling about the Summit perpetually. It was neither very loud nor very sharp, and neither distance nor direction could be determined. If seemed to be precisely where the adventurers were. Willi extreme difficulty the party made their way down the mountain and sought shel ter in a cave. They were benumbed with oold and frightened out of their wits. After the storm had abated they returned to camp, and it was several days before they recovered from the shock of the terrible experience. PENSIONS ~~ Procured for all soldiers disabled m the I .

For Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cramps, Cholera, AND ALL THOSE NUMEROUS TROUBLES OF THE STOMACH AND BOWELB SO PREVALENT AT THIS SEASON, No Remedy known to the Medical Profession has been In use so long and with such uniformly satisfactory results as PERRY DAVIS' VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER It has been used with such wonderful success In all parts of the world in the treatment of these difficulties, that it has come to be considered AN UNFAILINB CURE FOR ALL SUMMER COMPLAINTS and such It really is when taken in time and according to the very plain directions lndoslns each bottle. In such diseases, the attack Is usually sudden and frequently very acute; i>nt nl(h a safe remedy at band for immediate use, there i* seldom danger of the fatal result which so often follows a few days' neglect. The inclination to wait and see If the morrow docs not bring a better feeling, not infrequently occasions a vast amount of needless suffering, and sometime* costs a life. A timely dose of Pain Killer will almost invariably save both, and with them the attendant doctor's fee. It has stood the test of forty years' constant nse in all countries and climates, and Is perfectly safe In any person's hands. It la recommended by Physicians, Nurses in Hospitals, and persons of all classes and professions who have had opportunity for observing the wonderful results which have always followed its use. THE BEST EVIDENCE: I hare long used the medicine known as PERRY I DA VIS'VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER in my fnmily and would not on any account be without it. When Cholera was last epidemic here. I used no medicine of any sort bnt the Pain Killer, and although myself and several members of my family were attacked severely, 1 am happy to say that the Pain Killer was equal to every emergency. I canaider I should not j be doing my duty to the community did I not say this much If I were attackod by the Cholera Pain Killer would be the only remedy I should use. I have thoroughly tested it, and know it can be relied on. F. E. BERGDfSEND, Galena, Illinois. I No family can afford to be without it, and its price brings it within tho reach of all. The use of one bottle will go further to convince you of its merits than columns of news paper advertising. Try it. ana you will never do without it. Price 'Me. 50c. and SI.OO per bottle.
