ONE district nomination for Con
gress has already been made in tbis
district. Tbe Mercer papers of last
week state tbat the Prohibition Con
vention of that county met on Tuesday
week last and put in nomination Mr. J.
M. Wilson,of Sbn-on,Mercer county.for
Congress; and thc.t, "the conferees from
Butler and Crawford counties being
present the confertes met together and
reported that on the second ballot Mr.
J. M. Wilson, of Sharon, was unani
mously nominated."
IN connection with the Judgeship
Bomination in Lawrence county, to
which reference were made last week,
we understand that no proceedings
came fcjfore the Court of that county
last week, but th<it tho matter will be
referred to the Republican Committee
of that county far any investigation
necessary. This will be the better
course, and it wiil give us pleasure to
correct promptly any wrong impression
it may turn out was made in the matter
concerning any candidate.
The Amended Rule.
It will be recollecte d that previous
to choosing delegates to the late Na
tional Convention much discussion was
had and difference of opinion existed as
to what the then rule on the subject
really meant. The result was that dif
ferent mode 3 wer-; practiced in different
Congressional districts, and even in
different counties of the same Con
gressional district. This district for
instance.
The late National {Convention took
up the matter, freed it from doubt or
ambiguity, amended the rule by direct
ing the election of delegates in same
x mode that members of Congress are
nominated. So that in this district,
and in all others, hereafter the National
delegates will be chosen by the people
just in the same manner that a Repub
lican member of Congress is nominat
ed. This settles all questions raised
and all will know how to proceed here
after.
Col. Bain's Lectures.
We have in our time heard many
eloquent men, home of them distin
guished as great orators, but a more
pleasing, a more eloquent, a more forci
ble, or a more logical speaker, we never
listened to than George W. Main, of
Kentucky. His lectures here last Sun
day and Monday, in the Presbyterian
Church, were models, both in manner
and matter. And what impresses one
so favorably with Col. Bain is the very
apparent fact that he is a good man, a
sincere man, who feels and thiuks what
he says. This is a need in temperance
work, and Col. Bain has created an in
creased interest i'i the cause here. His
arguments in favor of Prohibition were
the most clear, practical and forcible of
any ever listened to here. His expo
sure of the inconsistency and the un
satisfactory results of the license sys
tem, was powerful and convincing.
Our people were all delighted with
Col. Bain. Such men as he give at
once a new Itfe and a new vigor to the
great temperance movement now cover
ing the whole land.
To the Wouriuns' Christian Temper
ance Union of this place much praise
must bo given for procuring the ser
vices among us of buch a speaker as
(itorge W. Bai*,.
A Loud Complaint.
There is certainly a pretty loud and
a pretty general complaint going on
among Democrats of this county at the
nomination made by their late County
Convention for-the office of County
commissioners More particularly is this
the case with that of the nomination of
Mr. Collins, one of them. It is claim
ed that he was unfairly nominated and
hence many Democrats are bolting him,
as thev claim that he bolted the regu
lar nomination of Esquire Wadsworth
for the same office some years ago.
But it is not our place to interfere in
this matter. Our neighbor of the Dem
ocratic Herald will doubtless give his
readers all necessary light, where any
thing dark or crooked is alleged within
his party, and to him we refer this mat
ter tor an explanation.
LARGE numbers gathered last Sun
day to tbe second annual celebration of
the founding of the German Lutheran
Orphans' Asylum, near Delano, this
county, a small town on the Butler
Branch, and about midway from here
to Freeport.
It is under the care of several Pitts
burgh churches and the people of those
bodies appear to have came in a mass.
Many citizens of this county were also
present to witness the exercises. The
ground and groves are said to be very
fine. The location of the asylum at
that point was through the gift of a
Mrs. Maggie Ortell of the ground, 50
acres, for the purpose. The interest
that is being taken in it will cause
many to be among its future visitors.
College Commencements.
What is known as "College Com
mencements" would be perhaps better
understood by the general public if they
were called '"College Closings." But
while the exercises are at the clone of a
term, or year, yet they commence a
new era with some of the students. It
is the time when degrees are publicly
conferred on the graduating class, and
hence these graduates commence to be
something more than mere students.
Most of the colleges and academies
in the Western part of this State had
their cloging exercises last week. Of
one in this county an account will be
seen in another place. Those of Thiel,
at Greenville, Mercer county, and
Westmister, at New Wilmington,
Lawrence county, were interesting to
many of our citizens, who in one way
or auother were interest ;d iu the same.
REV. V. B. CHRISTY, pestor of the
English Lutheran Church at Zelienople,
filled the pulpit of the English Luth
eran Church of Butler last Sunday
morning, exchanging pulpits with Rev.
Waters who preached in Zelienople
same day.
Blaine at Home.
The scenes daily transpiring around
the Republican'candidate for President
at bis old home in Maine, are not on.y
pleasing to read but must be pleasant
in themselves. It was noticed that on
the very day the National Convention
was meeting in Chicago, Mr. Blaine
and family had packed their goods in
Washington and had hurried off to his
home in Maine. He was there when
his nomination came, and it was there
he received the first news and the first
congratulations "of his old neighbors.
How different would this all have been
had he remained in Washington. All
Maine seemed to rise up and honor
her adopted son. Then visitors came.
First among them General Logan, his
associato on the ticket, for \ ice Pres
ident. That was probably the first
time Geo. Logan had been to Maine.
How much more pleasant it was for
the two candidates to meet in tbe cool
breezes and among the shady groves
of Mr. Blaine's residence at Augusta,
than if they had met at his residence
in the warm,crowded city of Washing
ton. Then, next in order, to go to
August;., now for the time being the
political Mecca of this country, is the
National Committee appointed by the
Natior~l Convention to formally notify
Mr. Blaine of his nomination This
duty the Committee just performed
last week, and we were struck with the
new feature of the same. The Com
mit' e went in person, one from each
State, and formally notified him of his
nomination. Heretofore similar com
mittees had notified similar nominees
by letter. But they went away to
Maine in person, and found Mr. Blaine
at his Maine home. His house was not
capable of holding all who were pres
ent, and, at a suggestion made, all
went j'rom the house out to the lawn
aud under the shady trees, llore the
Chairman of the Committee made
known its mission, and Mr. Blaine re
plied. A similar scene we believe
never took place iu this Nation. It
conveys a pleasant idea of the simplic
ity of our Republican institution.
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
The CITIZEN will be sent .'.*om now to
close of Presidential Election, middle
of November, for the low sum of
FIFTY CKNTM. To raisers of
clubs of six or more for the campaign
we will send an extra copy free. To
a'l present subscribers paying up ar
rears we will give tbe benefit of the
same reduction for the time as to those
for the campaign.
The coming campaign will be of the
most interesting and exciting character
While supporting Blaine and Logan
the CITU.EN will faithfully give all the
passing movements in aud of all par
ties.
Our friends are requested to lend
their help in the getting up of clubs,
etc. Names can be sent us at once.

THE PLATFORM.
Synopsis of the Document as
Adopted at Chicago.
CHICAGO, JINE 5, —Appended is a
synopsis of the Republican platform as
adopted by the Convention to-day:
It renews allegiances lo the princi
ples on which the party has triumphed
in six successive presidential elections
and congratulates the American people
on the great work of the Republican
partv.
It" recognizes in the administration
of President Arthur a wise, conserva
tive and patriotic policy, under which
the country has been blessed with re
markable prosperity, and expresses tbe
belief that bis eminent services are en
titled to and will receive the hearty
app-oval of every citizen.
It demands that the imposition of
duties on foreign imports shall be
made not for reveuue only, but also to
afford security to our diversified indus
tries and protection to the rights and
wages of the laborer, to the end that
active and inteligent labor, as well as
capital, may have its just reward, and
the laboring man his full share in the
national prosperity.
i It protests against the so called
economical system of the Democratic
patty which could degrade our labor
to the foreign standard.
The Republican party pledges itself
to correct the inequalities of the larill
and to reduce the surplus, not I y the
vicious and indiscriminate proce. s of
horizontal reduction, but by such meth
ods as will relieve the taxpayer with
out injuring the laborer or the great
productive interests of our country
The platform then recognizes the
importance of the sheep interests and
expresses respect for the demands of
the wool growers for a readjustment
of dutv on foreign wool.
It "favors legislation to regulate
railwavs to prevent unjust discrimina
tion and excessive charges; favors the
establishment of a national bureau of
labor, the enforcement of the eight
hour law and a system of general edu
cation at the expense of the national
treasury.
It declares against placing our work
ingmen in competition of any form
of servile labor, whether at home or
abroad. In this spirit it says we de
nounce the importation of contract la
bor, whether fiom Europe or Asia, as
an offense against the spirit of Amer
ican institutions, and we pledge our
telves to sustain the present law re
stricting Chinese immigration.
It declares strongly in favor of civil
service rules to grades of ofiice.
The public lands are a heritage of
our people, and should be reserved for
small holdings by actual settlers. It
condemns tbe acquisition of large tracts
of land* by corporations or individuals
and especially by non resident aliens.
It pledges tbe Republican party to
the repeal of the limitation contained
in the arrears act, so that all invalid
soldiers shall share alike and their pen
sions shall begin with the date Oi dis
ability.
It declares for the policy of non in
terference with foreign nations, but
demands the restoration of our navy to
its old strength, that in may protect
our in*orest in any sea.
Polvgamy iB denounceu. In this
respect the platfoim declares thit the
law roust be enforced by the civil au
thorities, if possible, and by the nnlita
ry, if need DO,
The platform ends by declaring the
United States a nation, and not a con
federacy. That the Union n)u»t bo
kept inviolate and denounces the fraud
and violence practiced by the Demo
cratic party in the southern states, by
which the rote !.« defeated.

West Sunbury Academy.
For the Citizen.]
The closing exercises of the year's
work at West Sunbury Academy on
the 12th and Dith of June were o* a
very interesting character.
One new feature was the contest be
the two classes of tbe literary society
on tbe night of the 12th.
Each class had selected mem! rs to
represent it in tbe contest for the hon
ors to be awarded to the best essay,
oration, debate and declamation. The
judges were Rev. Taylor, of Petrolia;
Prof. Elliot, of North Washington and
Prof. Mackey, of Butler. The per
formances were all excellent, both in
thought and culture displayed, and in
the manner of delivery, and we have
no doubt that the judges bad some dif
ficulty in deciding who should bear
away the laurels, on account of the re
spective efforts of the contestants being
so uniformly good.
On the Pith, tbe commencement ex
ercises were held in the U. P. Church
where very good orations wfre deliv
ered by Mr. Jacob Painter and by Air,
Thompson Baker, Mr. Baker gradua
ting and receiving his diploma. Both
on the 12th and loth, large audiences
greeted the performances, showing by
their presence and evident approval the
interest that the community is .aking
in the success of the Academy, and
their appreciation of the services ot
their excellent and cultured Principal,
Pi of. W. W. Logan. Good, thorough
and effective work is being done in this
school under his management. Mis
l»eiug an expert as a shor' hand writer,
gives those students who wish to study
that art, an opportunity not always to
be found, and the class that h has
had during the last session is said to
have made very rapid progress. We
learn that the prospects for the Acade
my for the next year are very encour
aging, assurances having been received
that the attendance although already
very good, will be very largely in
creased.
We think that every vlaitot' to this
pleasant town on the occasion of tin*
commencement went away hoping that
the West Sunbury Academy might
continue to be. as it has long been in
the past, but iu even greater measure,
a source of good auu an honor to our
county.
ELKEM.
Prospect Commencement.
Ens. CITIZEN: —Permit me through
the columns of your paper to give your
readers a short account of tbe second
annual commencement of I' ospect
Academy, which took place on June
20th.
From the founding of the Academy,
a. little over a year ago, the institution
has been highly favored with patron
age. With one exception tbe w i her
has been good at every meeting L(>
which the public have been invited and
the entertainments Lave had a corres- >
ponding ratio. The commencement j I
exercises began on Thursday evening' ;
and terminated on Friday night with
Col. Bain ds live-ring one of his grand
lectures. From first to last they were j
successful, and all present enjoyed a :
pleasant lime. Thursday eve. the
L ngfellow Literary Society opened
it- doors to the public, and gave au en
tertainment both pleasing and profit
able. A number of fine addresses
were made Mid among others that of
F. I. Cunningham was of particular in
terest to the students He reviewed
the short Liatory of the society, and
tie member* might well congratulate
themselves on its improvement as a
society, OIKI on the benefits they had
received oiu it. He had been benefit- j
cd ;*s much by it as by any of his
studies. The society loses in Mr. Cun-,
ningham one of its most useful mem
bers.
Promptly at one o'clock, Friday, the
Principal and his class of performers, j
keeping step to the music of the Pros-
pect Cornet Band, entered Critcblow's
Grove in which the exercises were
held.
Every thing moved in harmony, a
clear day, a shady grove, good music,
an ; ttentive audience, and well prepar
ed essayists and orators. W bat more
could be desired ? Miss Gardner, the
salutatorian, was sick and not able to
be present, but with this exception tue
order of the program was loliowed.
The exercises need no commendation,
and if we were to enter upon that talk
it would take too much time and space
to do justice to ali. The program was
as follows:
Essav, Miss Cowden,
.Jacksville; Oration, "Success," S. M.
Goehring, ol XelieDople; Kssay, "Cul
tivation of .\liDds," Miss Moore, Grant
Cilv; Essay, "Dreamers," Miss Wal
dron, Evans City; Oration, "Oovern
raeDt," E. M. Dindinger, Lancaster;
Essay, "1 ducation iu Reform," Miss
Graham, Evans City; Oration, "La
fayette," L. L. McGowan, Prospect;
Essay, "The Ideal," Miss Graham,
Brownsdale; Oration, "Perseverance
and Delay," 11. D. Thompson, Wur
temburg; Essay, "Cui I3ODO," Miss
Thompson, Elora; Oration, 'lndepend
ence," J. VV. Hays, Whitcstown; Es
say, "Advantage of an Educatiou,"
Miss Wimer, Jacksville; Oration,"Dan
gers of our Country," VV Ti. McNees,
West Liberty; Essay, "What Consti
tutes a Scholar," Miss Fisher, liutler;
Oration, "Great Men," W. 11. Alexan
der, Prospect; Classical Oration, F. I
Cunningham, Whitestown; V aledic
tory, Miss Sutton, Evans City.
The above programme, which was
well interspersed with music, was
nicely arranged, and each performer
treated Lis subject ably.
Mr. Cunningham's oration was one
of the best we have ever beard. He
traced tbe language down through the
past ages to the present, showing
their beauty and the origin of mauy of
our m°st common words. lie said,
"the Greek and Latin »ie dead lan
guages, it is true; but dead as the
crystal is dead."
As the first graduate of this Academy
may he be as successful iu his lite
work, wha* vcr it may be, as he
ha 3 been iu the preparation for it.
Alter the valedictory, Col, ttain, of
Louisyilie, Ky., was introduced aud
gave an address on temperance.
In the evening, more than four hun
dred people listened to his interesting
lecture, "A Journey to the Golden
Gate." Col. Bain is a pleasing and
pojyefitjl speaker, and can take his
audience v, u-Liui wherever he wishes
to go. We hype to have the pleasure
of bearing him again in the near futme.
Who can estimate the amount of good,
the elevating tendencies, the graud
work that a good school, societies, en
tertainments and lectures have in any

PATRIOT.
Bishop Mallhew Simpson, D. D.,
LL. D.
Bishop Simpson died at ten minutes
to nine last Wednesday morning iu
Philadelphia. He passed away sur
rounded by his wife and children.
Matthow Simpson, whose patriotic
and self-ucnring labors during the civil
war made I. m almost as well known
to the nation at large au in the commu
nion of which he was one of the chief
overseers, was born in Cadi 7. Ohio, on
tbe 21st of June, 1810. His father
died while the future bishop was still iu
infancy, 11 is mother, a devoted, pious
and highly accomplished woman,decid
ed to educate him with a view to the
ministry, hoping that his own etou.u
would I ) to enter it when he
became of age to judge. He
early manifested a remarkable aptitude
for study, and at the age of nine he was
not only wi ll grounded in the ordinary
English branches, but could read flu
ently in German, lie added
to his linguistic acquiiements a knowl
edge of Lalin, (Jreck aud Hebrew, and
of two or three modern languages. Ile
attained considerable proficiency also
in philosophical and physical studies.
In 1829 he graduated irom Madison
College, and in the same year made a
public profession of religion, connecting
himself with the Methodist church.
Upon leaving college he decided to
enter tbe iii< «tica! profession, to which
his taste strongly drew him, and, after
taking a very thorough course of study
he took his decree of M. D. in ls:{:>.
He en' led upon the practice of bis
profession with much enthusiasm, but
in a very short time he found himself
power.ully drawn to the ministry and
became a local preacher Soou after
ward he entered upon the theological
studies, and in 183"> was admitted to
deacon's orders; and in 1837 he entered
itiiieis-ty, to the great joy of his mother,
whose prayc • and entreaties had un
ceasingly followed him. While esft'ly
showing unusual ability in the pulpit,
the church deemed for some time that
it had more need of his scholarship in
ita pojlegiate institutions.
In he -*'o3 made president of
Indiana Asbury University. In 1841
he was transferred from this position
|to the viff presidency of A'legbeny
I College, and to the duties of professor
|of natural sciences there. 110 remain
! Ed there for ten years, adding to its du
ties in 18H th ine of editor of the
\Vr.Mcru the l'iltiburgb)
Ghri.lian .ijioattiH. jlo '-ontinued
until IS.V 2 in the editorial chair,
it witli marked uljility until his eleva
tion l>y the General Conference of
th sf ♦> year to the bishopric. Me was,
| wlit'ii elii U-4, Ikp youngest member
of the episcopate, and, as the junior
bishop, his labors for the first eight
yt ars were 110 more exacting thau those >
of his colleagues. But becoming speed
ily known as an eloquent speaker he was
often called on for addresses and ora
lions on other occasionsthan those which
his episcopal duties called him. At
the breaking out of the civil war he
found an audience as wide as the coun
trv. There could be no complaint that
lie neglected any of his official duties. ,
But in addition to these his labors were
im-f" n* —preat hing, lecturing every
where East and West, the duty of the
people to their imperilled country, lie
was one of the most uutiringand efficient
sustain«*rs of both the Christian and ;
, the sanitary cmimissions. After the '
war he was siill called upon fr>r much J
additional work besides that pertained j
to his episcopal duties, a:id there grew <
1; av'' r from year to year as one after
j another of his laborers therein died in;
the harness It was not until ISI2, :
: when his muKifaiious heavy exertions ,
! in the cause of the Church and of hu
manitv had broken down his vigorous j
constitution and great powers of endur-;
ance, that the members of the episco
pate were increased by the General \
Conference sufficiently to relieve Bish- j
op Simpson, and the s irviving mem- ■
bers of those who with him had borue j
the burden and heat of the day, from j
the continual strain of heavy overwork. !
For a time absolute rest was enforced
Ov his physicians, and it was not after
ward possible for him to take up such
burdens as be had before carried.
He had taken always a yery great
interest in the foreign missionary work
of the Church, and especially in the
Zenana work of the woman's mission
ary societies. His influence was given
iu'the most efficient manner when it
was firs* proposed to send out thor
oughly educated lady physicians as
missionaries, and the complete success
of the work was always a g.eat gratifi
cation to him. The whole of
Bishop Simpson's private and public
record has been that of one of the most
devoted, faitbiul aud efficient of Chris
tian workers.
THE Batter boys of the Junior class
at Thiel College, Greenville, we learn
acquitted themselves with credit at the
Commencement exercises of the same
last week. «
In the Coils of a Huge Bkick
snake.
Jonathan Hogne, a well known resi
dent of Taylor towuship, Lawrence
county, met with a thrilling experience
on Decoration Day, which he will un
doubtedly not forget until he leaves
this mundane sphere. Mr. Hogue 011
that day engaged in repairing a rail
fence on that portion of his farm known
as "Porter's Hill," a distencc of about
one hundred rods lrora his residence.
While stooping to pick up a rail, a
blacksnake between six aud seven feet
in length, with the speed of a flash of
lightning, threw several coils of its
body around his legs below the knees.
In doing so the serpent's head extended
sbove Mr. Hogue's knees. The black
snake's attious was probably caused
bv Air. Hogue stepping upon it«s tail
while he was lifting the rail. Mr.
Hogue, although <>l years of age, is a
verv powerful man, yet the constrict
ing power of the snake was so great
that be wa3 almost overcome. With
au effort he succeeded in shaking off
the horror engendered by his perilous
situation, aud summoned up all his
strength, he grasped the snake with
both hands tightly around the neck
about three inches below the head and
attempted to throttle it. The struggle
Was a tremendous one. When the
unake fcjt the compressing power of
Mr. Hogue's hands on Us Heck, it
tighteod its coils until it fairly imide
the bones creak which wero enoi.oled
by its body. A yellow slime exuded
lroui its mouth, aud it bit him repeat
edly 011 his hands, until the blood poured
otn the wounds. His bands present
ed a siokeniog being soou cover
ed with blood, mixed witii tue yuuGV
fluid wont the snake's mouth. At lust,
al'tei a struggle which was prolonged
flitjy <>t pprjod of five minutes, and dur
ing which nii fur jeveral
vards around was trampled down und
covered with the slime from the ser
pcut's mouth, Mr. llogue, with one
treiueudous effort, wrenched the ser
pent irom his iiuibs, it
as far as ho could froiq Liitj, rj,4 fQF
dear life for home, at wltieh plate ho
arrivea completely exhausted and
nerveless. Attention was immediate
ly paid to his wounded hands, as fear
prevailed that they were poisoned.
These fears pfoied groundless, as they
did not swell, and healed up o>v)i.
nary wounds. The following Si/in;ay
Mr. llogue and one of his BODS visited
the Ecene of the encounter, but saw
nothiug of the snako. The top. 4 of the
iij the v ieiuity, whieh had been
covered with the sliino 'roijj thp
snake's moui.li, were all found to ho
dead or dying, showing that however
innocuous tlx; slime might be to man
kind, it was fatal to vegetation. The
above tale may seem improbable to
gome of our readers, but we can vouch
for its truth in every particular, and
will refer doubters to Mr. lloyye Jiiirt
ielf, who is attending Court this week
as a juror, and from whose lips we re
ceived it. Guardian.
