The operation itself, though delicate, is simple. An incis ion is made through the soft parts orer tbe bony prominence just behind the ear, about an inch and a half in length. The soft tissues are drawn aside by metal retractors to fully ex pose tbe bone. An opening is then made through tbe outer layer of the boue bv means of a gimlet, a drill, a trephine or a chisel, When tbe spongy or cellular part of this bone is entered the operation is finished. If matter is formed it is removed by carefully washing it away with antiseptic fluid. Neighborhood Politics.

The Lext thing in order was the election of a temporary Chairman, or President of the Convention. Dr. DeWoif. of Millerstown, was nomina ted, and elected without opposition. He took the chair,thanked the conven tion, and asked {or nominations for Secretaries. Messrs. J. M. Carson, A M. Christley and Stephen Husel toa were nominated and elected, and Mr. Edward liiddie was called upon to assist.in tabulating tho vote, as the sub-district arrangement required an additional tally pajier. The roll ol districts wjs theu again called, and the representatives handed in their returns. The President then asked for nom inations for Permanent Chairman of the County Committee, and VV. C. Findlev, Esq., James B. Mates, Esq , and Judge Robert Storey were nomi nated. The nominations were closed and a motion was made to vote, by ballot, but another motion to confine the Chairmanship to the members of the Committee was first taken up and carried. Mr. Mutes had already with drawn and this motion cut out Judge Storey, who was not present. Find ley should then have been elected by acclamation, but a motion to recon sider, anu appoint a Committee on permanent organization, brought on a discu: :ion and consumed some time, but was fioally lost, as was also a motion to reconsider the closing of tho nomination-*, aud Fiiidley was elected by acclamation. Kindley is a bright young mm of good princi ples. lie ban been an a.;tivo Repub lican over since be Ivcitne a voter, and we believe tho interests of the ure iu s)eml>led: RmiUveil, Int. That the Republican party hat just cttuxe to be proud of its Rraud uuil patriotic history in re*i*tiiii( treason, prt iterving the l T uion, entablinhiui( a uniform ami utaple currency, protecting home indns try, abolishing slavery, neeuring, by Con stitutional provision, the equality of all men before the law; the extension of the ballot; providing homesteads for actual settlers, pro tecting the rights of la*?or anil fostering a liberal system of education, through which the rising generation will be better prepared to exercise their enlarged responsibilities as citizens of this, the grandest of undent na tions. 2nd. That the Democratic majority in our National House of UepreseMativeH, now in thi: tilth month of iu session, have signalized their |)int!n!>ioii of power hy shameful ineffi ciency am! wii<-te of public time and money, in disregard of pressing public iMerest*, and are apparently at the mercy of those south ern bri*udi-rs, now clamoring lor the refund ing of the lossi i obtained hy the South dur ing the war, and we notice with surprise that the Representative from this district appears on the list ol those v,ho have acted in this filibustering scheme. 3rd. That the return of the Republican imrty to power it demanded by the highest interests of the people and the purest in* Millets of patriotism: for the purpose ol stim ulating a more vigorous foreign policy, to the end (but onr fishing 'interests may b? prote-t( d, a merchant marine established and fostered; a doner i oinmercia! relation estab lished »nd strengthened with Ontral and South America, and the "Monroe Doctrine" enforced against Kuropean nations, as by this policy alone peace and security can at once be preserved. 4th. That the dangers threatened by the menacing attitude ol the party now in pow , er toward the manufacturing and other in terests and industries of the country in the | presentation ol the Mills Hill, exciting alarm { and distrust, should be averted hy such a re vision of the revenue laws as would at once I give rulief, without injuring or disturbing ! the business of the country, j Jith. That we rejoice to see evidences of a I "New South" rising, as it is, from the ashes . of the old, and destiued to give new life and I energy to that section of our common coun try through the introduction of northern capital and skilled labor; such development will go ;ar to erase the unpleasant memories cf the »>ast—forgotten in the homogenious ; arsuits of tbe present and aspirations lor and pos>ibilititr* of the future. tith. That it is the duty of each State to protect the ballot so that the elector, how ever humble, shall be frea in the exercise of the elective fraui.-hi*e, and eai-h vote should be honestly counted: aud should any State fail in this duty, the National Government should take *ucii action in the premises as will secure tbe citizeu iu the free exercise ot the elective franchise when members of Con gress and Presidential electors are to be chosen. 7th. That the Constitutional AineuJmeut prohibiting the manufacture an 1 sule ot in toxicating liijuors as a beverage within the State, passed by tbe present Legislature, should be re-ptvseJ by the Laijisl.iture o' 18-iS, and submitted to the people at aa early date for their approval or rejection; and the candidates this day put in nomina tion lor Assembly are hereby pledged to the support of the same. Sih. That our Representatives this day nominated are requested to vote aud use tlieir iutluence to tnodity the present liquor laws so as to avoid the present difference ot opin ion existing aui the Judges of State iu their administration of them. •Jib. That while ve>ted capital should be protected agaiust unjust and unlawful at tacts upou it, yet it should be the sjierial care of the Legislature, by wise laws, to give ample protection to the laboring interests, to the employe! ot corporations u'i 1 other cipi - tali>ts, so that they may realize the most remunerative wages the business in which they are employe.! can atf >rd, thereby enab ling them to provide mire amply lor taeir owu and their family's 'comfort and happi ness. loth.

Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty four different kind of baking powders, embracing all the brands that could be found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analy sis by Prof. C. F. Chandler a mem ber of the State Board and President of the New York City Board of Health, assisted bv Prof. E. G. Love the well known United States Gov-: ernment chemist. The official report shows that a large number of the powders examin ed were found to contain alum or lime: many of them to such an extent as to render them seriously objection able for use in the preparation of hu- j inau food. Alum was found in twenty-nine j samples. This drug is employed in ! baking powders to cheapen their cost , The presence of lime is attributed to the impure creaai of tartar of com- > merce used in their manufacture, j Such cream of tartar was also analy-; jed and found to contain lime and ' other impurities; in some samples to the extent of 93 per cent, of their en tire weight. All the baking powders of the mar ket, with the single exception of "Royal" (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which have uot the virtue of even an impure cream of; tartar), are made from the adulterated cream of tartar of commerce, and con sequently contain lime to a correspon- , diug extent. The only baking powder yet found ; by chemical analysis to be entirely i free from lime and absolutely pure is j the "Royal," Tbis perfect purity re- ; suits from the exclusive use of cream ! of tartar specially refined and prepar ed by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemi cally pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on ac count of this greater cost is usad in no baking powder but the "Royal." Prof. Love, who made the analy sis of baking powders for the New j York State Board of Health, as well ! as for the Government, says of tbe purity anp wholesomeness of the j "Royal.": "I find the Royal Baking Powder composed of pure and wholesome in gredients. It is a oream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phos phates or other injurious substance. E. G. LOVE, PH D." It ie highly satisfactory to the housekeepers of this vicinity, where the Royal Baking Powder is in gen eral use, that the investigations by the analysts in Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio, the only States thftt have thus far taken action upon this important subject, agree in classing it as the purest and most efficient bak ing powder in tbo market. —Of the death of Zepbaniah J, McAnallen, a son of Michael Me- Anallen, of Marion Twp., a corres pondent says: lie was a yoang man of sterling qualities, and much es teemed by all hie acquaintances. His sad and untimely end coming as it were like a thunder clap from a sum mer's sky is a startling and solemn paring to all. He had gone but a short time ago to work in the lumber woods of Forest county and on Tues day, the 3d inst,, while engaged in rafting logs was caught between some floating timber and before as- | sistauce could reach him was drown ed. The corpse was brought home Saturday and interred iu the cemetery at Murrinsville. Tbe sympathy of the entire community is extended the afflicted family in their sad bereave ment. Seed ?

The venerable Joseph Dickson, who was one of the oldest citizens in this part of the State, died at his home in Meadville on the 4th inst. Mr. Dickson was born in Pittsburg, February 12, 1790, and was conse quently in the ninety-ninth year of his age. He came wiih his par ents to Meadville in 1794. and that town was his residence for ninety four years His deatb causes univer sal sorrow. * Tbe thinning-out of saloons by the license Courts in Philadelphia and Pittsburg causes great commotion among the knocked out dispensers of rum as well as among regular drink ers. Instead of two or three diveß on each square or block the man who wants his bitters now has often to walk a hundred yards to get to it or them. Heretofore, in certain parts of tbese two cities every man lived next door to a rum hole. A couple of foot pads attacked a drummer the other night, between Walston and Punxsutawnev, and robbed him of S7O. The evening was dark and tbey slipped up behind him and before he knew one grasped him about the waist while the other one went through his pockets. When they had got his money they released him and started to run. The drum mer started after them and when he got pretty close they stopped and drawing revolvers ordered him to re turn. He went back. Nice neigh borhood; that. The morning train on the Pittsburg and Western railroad, bound for Pittsburg, while rounding the curve near Ravenna Saturday morning, struck Lorenzo Waters, who was walking the track, killing him in stantly. His head was ttrowu 20 feet away and his body was lerribly mangled. Waters was 60 years of age, and formerly resided uear where he was killed He was demented, and in the absence of his attendants wandered from home. The funereal semces of Mrs. Lidie Anderson of Freeport, were some thing out of the ordinary routine, and were all planned by herself before she died.

It is reported that a Mercer county school board divided its school term tbo past winter and instead of one continuous term ol school, had two terms during the winter one of which ended at the opening of the session of tbe Teachers Institute and tbe oth er of which commenced the week af ter the close of this Institute, and in this way the liberal directors succeed ed in avoiding the payment of the teachers for the time spent at the In stitute. Those directors had long heads on them, aud were hound to save a few dollars at all hazards and at the expeuse of their teachers. One of the Baddest accidents that j ever occurred near Brookville, hap- j pened last Friday evening. Mr Thos. Hendricks while running a raft over Litch's dam was struck by a cable, which was stretched across the creek end tied to a raft on the opposite shore and was hurled backward into the raging torrent and that was the last ever seen of him. Fully oue hun dred persons witnessed the awful sight, among them being his three children, who were horror stricken. As yet his body has not been recov ered, although every effort is being made for its recovery. The deceased leaves a wife aud three children to mourn his loss. The grief stricken family have tbe sympathy of tbe en tire community in their bereavement. Last Wednesday, while William Hazeu, owner of the grist mill at Ccntreville, was oiling the machin ery, he was caught on an upright shaft and wound around it until his clothes were stripped from his body, the forearm broken, the shoul ders ground to a jelly, the ribs frac tured and driven into the lungs, and his head and body dreadfully mang led. After his body had stopped the machinery and his life was nearly crushed out ho displayed remarkable heroism by coolly directing a neigh bor how to release him. He was 53 years old.— timlKnlon New*. —Producers will never see a fair price for petroleum, so long as the wind sellers in the exchanges can make the price.
