HILLIARD, of Washington twp The great coming event is the Sol diers' Re-union here next Tuesday. With good weather a large number may be looked for. IT is said the fiiends of Mr. Reuben McElvain will induce him to enter the lecture field, and if he does, success will surely attend him. IF you would vote November f>th, pay your taxes by October Gtb. And mind, the courts hold one man cannot go and voluntarily pay another's taxes and thus give him the right to vote. H. B. Bowser Esq., of Mercer, has been appointed through Congressman Miller to a position in the House at Washington, to last until the Ist of January next. THE Erie Conference of the M. E. Church meets at New Castle this date. The Revs. J. M. Bray, of Parker, G. H. Hall, of Emlenton, and W. Bran field, of Farmington, all being 3 year men, will have to move. DR. JAMES W. MEHARD, a distin guished physician of Mercer, Pa., died last week, in the 3Cth year of his age- He was a son of Dr. S. S. Mehard, who. we believe, some years ago resided and practiced medicine in this place. WE learn that the dispatch from Cleveland, copied into our last issue, relative to bad treatment to a certain Sarah Jane Blubaugh, was incorrect in BO far as it stated she was from this coun. ty. The people about Martinshurg, this county, where it stated she was from, know nothing of euch a person- MR. THOMAS P. LARDIN, formerly of Karns City, this county, and now of Jamestown, N. Y., came all the way from the latter place to attend the re union of the 11th Reserves at Blairs ville last week. We were glad to meet our friend Lardin. He visited his father, Mr. William Lardin, of Clinton twp., while here. AT one day's session of the Senate at narrisburg last week there were only 11 Republican members present out of 30, and 14 Democrats out of 20. In the House on the same day the roll call showed 71 members absent. Nev ertheless their pay goes on—slo a day —Sunday included. Is it any wonder the people are complaining of this do nothing Legislature ? The only regret is that the faithful members have to suffer with the idle ones. THE Philadelphia Ledger, organ of conservative sentiment in Philadelphia, thus Bceres the reckless disregard of the plain requirements of the Constitution, by the Republican members of the Senate: "The Republican Senators ap pear to be determined that they shall have at least their lull share, if not more than their share, of the odium attached to a failure to pass the appor tionment bills. Their resolution to strnply go through the motion of meet ing twice a week and to refuse to con sider any proposition is a distinct an nouncement that they will not do or make any further attempt to do their sworn duty. Having reached such a determination thcv should have adopt ed one more resolution—to resign their seats. They would appear in a better light if they assumed a virtue though they had it not."— Ex. TUE Butler Eagle is the only paper in the State we notice which,while pro fessing to support the Republican party, yet is endeavoring to make discord in its ranks. While from the State Ceu tral Committe down all are rejoicing in the harmony that has been restored, and the union that now exists in the party, and are giving the anti-Cameron men of last year praise and credit for their action and bearing this 3'ear, yet the Butler Eagle continues snapping like a blind snake. It still permits some silly scribbler—said to be a lame duck —to fill its editorials weekly with matter calculated to distract and defeat the party in this county. All this is as untimely as uncalled for, and it is to be hoped that paper will soon come to Bee the folly of its ways. It i 3 injuri ous for this fall's election as well as for future ones. UNCLE JAKE ZIEULER is getting in his work these days. Not content with $lO a day at Ilarrisburg, he has brought suit against Hutler county for the snug sum of $1,732, being 20 per cent, commission upon sß,fif>!) of State tax which he claims had been illegally assessed at,d paid by the county, and which he recovered. The Commission ers claim that they never made any contract with him at all and had no need whatever of his services. And so the matter stands until the suit is de cided.—Mercer Dispatch, Sept. 28. While the suit alluded to above was a surprise to all here, and looks like an attempt to make the county pay a eol lectiou fee on what was hers by opera tion of law, and settled in her favor by the accounting officers of the State, yet we are informed by Mr. Ziegler that he bas no interest in the matter and does Dot propose to have any interest in it We deem this statement but simple justice to him. A PLEASANT RE-UNION. And a Speech not Down on the Bills. The Second Re-union of the 11th lVnu'a Reserves took place at Blairs ville, Indiana Co, Fa., on last Tuesday week, Sept. 25. The surviving mem bers of the C and D, recruited from this county in that regi ment, were present on the occasion and report having beeu royally entertained bv the citizens of Blairsville and as having had a very interesting and pleasant time. Toasts were given and responded to; one "The Absentees" at Roll Call, le iog responded to by Capt. G. W. I'lec geer, of this place. After the regular exercises Mr. Reu ben McElvain of this place, being"pres ent, was called upon for a speech. He is reported as having entertained his old comrades in a very amusing man ner. Mr. McElvain, we might men tion, ia admirable in telling a stor>\ During his remarks on this occasion he told the story of the ' Dutch Com rade," who got into the hospital at Washington during the late war. This was told in Mr. McElvain's in imitable manner and "brought down the house," as the saying is. He is to speak at the Soldiers' Re-union hereon the 9th inst, and we understand he has beeu requested to repeat this story in his remarks. It will be worth coming some distance to hear it. If Reuben takes the lecture he will attract crowds beyond any doubt. The Parker Fair. The Fair held at Parker last week was the best yet hold there and a suc cess in every way. Mauy people from the four counties of Butler, Armstrong, Clariou and Venango were present. One pleasant feature noticed was that thev generally came with their baskets full—in picnic style—and when dinner time came whole families were to be seen, all over the extensive grounds, taking their dinners together in their wagons, carriages or upon the green grass. The entries exceeded the expectations of the managers. Fine horses and stock were brought by the Foxes, Grunts, Tipperys and others of Clarion, and by the Andersons, Brahams, Craw fords, Martins, Parkers, Jamisons, Sloans, Hayes, Grants, and others of this county. While these did not equal in extent those at the Butler Fair, yet in some things the Parker Fair excelled us. In the matter of swine, for instance, we think this wag the case. And in the vegetable line also—the Vegetable Hall being very fine aud well filled. We never saw finer potatoes, apples and other fruits. Ou Thursday, the third day of the Fair, the largest number was in attend ance, as many as 6,000 people being estimated upon the ground. And a more pleasant and intelligent looking body of men, women and young folks we have not seen. The best of order prevailed and everything passed off quietly and well. The [Management deserve great praise for the successful arrangements for the Fair in all re spects. Mr. Needle, of the Phoenix, who is Secretary, we observed was kept quite busy and we were told he makes a very efficient, obliging and at tentive officer. The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of this State convened at Pittsburgh on Monday last, for a session of nine weeks. The first four weeks of the term will be do voted to the argument of cases from Western counties, and the remaining time to Allegheny county cases. Sev eral important cases from this county have been taken up, among them the case of John Smith, Esq , plaintiff in error, against the Commonwealth, de fendant in error, which will likely be argued aud determined. The County Ticket. We would again cull the attention of the llepublicau3 of this county to the importance of the election of the county ticket. Although but few to elect this fall yet they are important, for many reasons. There aie no objections to the candidates. They were fairly nominated. But we all remember that a part of our county ticket -vas lost last year although fairly nominated. This was done by the deceit and trick cry of professed friends. We hope there will be no such work this year. Yet we deem it proper to give this caution. All that is necessary is to get out the Republican voters aud suc cess will be had, not only in the coun ty, but in the State, a matter of the greatest importance to future success. As the Senate sits but two days in the week, and each Senator gets S7O a week, the Ilarrisburg Patriot thinks the Senators are s.i~) a day men. They are more high-toned than the Demo cratic house, which is content to earn its ten dollars a day by sitting half an hour for four days in the week. That's the only diffe ence. THE Delaware County Record, a staunch Republican newspaper, pub lished in Chairman Cooper's own county, thus discuvses the responsibil ity lor the present legislative muddle : "Governor I'attison used but rightful prerogative and c institutionaLaut hority when he called the Legislature togeth er to perform a neglected duty; the Senate majority exceeded its rightful authority, unnecessarily prolonged the extra session by its persistent a - id dog ged refusal to confer and co operate with the House upon the apportion ment issue, and committed the addi tional folly of issuing its "ultimatum" that it would have its own way or there should be no apportionment, as made »ud provided by the laws and the constitution" SOLDIERS' DAY, OCT. 9, 1883 HEADQUARTERS, HITLER, PA., > September 29, 18S3. > GENERAL ORDER NO. *2.

LAFAYETTE, IND., September 27. No more frightful or mysterious crime was nevercommittedthau the murder of Ada, the beautiful 15-year-old daughter of the sturdy and wealthy farmer, Cephas Atkinson, living two ruiles from Oxford. Mr. Atkinson and his wife had gone to their farm ai. Atkinson station, ou the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago railroad, and left at home their two daughters, Lucy, a young lady about 13 years of age, and Ada, not yeit 15, a bright and handsome girl. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon the eldest sister mounted her horse and rode to Oxford, where she remained until nearly five. Wben she returned she went through the part of the house, calling her sister by name, then ran up staiis and threw open the bedroom door. There, welter* ing in a pool of her own blood, lav the body of the unfortunate girl. With a wild cry the sister whirled about and fled down the stairs out of the house, screaming at the top of her voice. In the garden she was stopped by an old man who ha3beeu an attache of the place for years. Ue held her and tried to quiet her, and fiually succeeded in getting from her an aeeouut of what she had seen. A passing neighbor was sent to Oxford and the alarm given Crowds of excited people flocked to the scene of the murder A telephone mes sage to Atkiusou Station apprised the father of t!)0 horrid death of his daugh ter. Mounting his horse the old gen tleman spurred to his violated hearth. The news was conveyed as gently as possible to the poor mother, whose health is already broken from grief at the loss of her eldest daughter, Emma. It id thought she cannot survive the shock aud sorrow. She was conveyed home in a phaeton later in the evening. Among those who hasteued to the scene of tha tragedy were Drs. 11. C McConnell aud A. W. Wells, ofOxforel. A preliminary exanruation was made as soon a* the urowd could lie got out of the room. The examination revealed the fact that there bad been no struggle. The bed was undisturbed, save iu one place, where it looked as if someone had been seated or forced down upon it There was no blood upon the walls or furni ture, a'.d uoue upon the floor, save where the murdered girl lay, but there it was plentiful. Nothing was disar ranged. The body lay face down, with the right arm doubled up under it. The loft thrown over the head. The work was evidently done with a large, dull knife, for the wounds, twenty-five in ali, were alj of t|>em rough and jag ged Probably the first blow wao made while the poor victim was en deavoriug to escape. It was a fatal blow. The jugular vein was served and the large artery was cut, and great torrents of warm life-blood came pour ing out, saturating her clothing and the carpet. A cruel cut acrossthe abdomen let the bowels protrude. It was a most sickening sight. There was absolutely no elew to the murderer. Robbery was not the motive, for nothing had been disturb ed Several grid watches and s.'ioo in cash remained untouched. Several theories have beer, advanced, but they are all held to be impracticable. It is shrouded in mystery. Only one amst has been made, but it. is riot deemed important. Mr. Atkinson offers SI,OOO reward and the county will offer $">00. It is now believed that sho was not outrinjed- IYrhiips tl.e villain, held at bay liy the poor Kir!, si ruck the fatal blow and iinished his heljUh work by horribly mutilating her body. People in the neighborhood of the girl's home are intensely excited, and if the guilt is fixed they would make short work of the guilty party. At L.

Under the new Constitution of Penn sylvania an absolute requirement of every voter over twenty-two years of njje, is that he shall have paid a State and County tax within two years of the election at which he shall offer to vote. Formerly this tax cuuld be paid on election "day, and in many places voters were never challenged on account of non payment of it. Hut now it, must be paid at least thirty days before tLe election, so that the only time left to voters is between now and October Oth, and we therelore earnestly upon all voters to make certain of their to vote, to hunt up the collectors and pay their taxes at once. Those who paid their taxes last year are not required to do so this year to secure their vote, but let all such he sure and bunt up their receipts. The tax re quired to be paid is very litfbt, and no voter should neglect this important matter; to do so will endanger his franchise. A Re-union and a Wedding A very pleasant soeial event occur red tit the residence of the widow of the late Ju Cuiuniind, near Mur rinsviiie, this county, on Sept. 20, con- of a family re.union and a wed ding. the happy couple being .Miss Liz zie Cummins, of* that place, and Mr. James Scott, of Bald Ridge. The morning seemed inauspicious, but be fore the hour arrived the clouds lifted and the sun shone on the bride and groom as they, with the re united family, consisting of about forty mem bers, together with quite a number of invited guests, repaired to the orchard, where the ceremony was performed by the Il'.'V. Mr. Glenn, of Ciintonvilie, af ter which nil present had a gala day. The bridal pair and the honored mother were the recipients of mauy useful and valuable presents. ATTENTION !
