The State Election In 1840.
From a slip furnished as by Jadge 1
Wier, giving tbe vote by counties in
1840, we take tbe following :
COUNTIES. HAKKISOX. VAS BIEK.V. j
Allegheny, 7G20 4573 |
Armstrong, 12t>0 1"44 j
Beaver, 3143 1710 1
Butler, 2100 ISO 4
Clarion, 048 13tW
Clearfield. 499 812
Crawford, 2469 . 2908
Mercer, 3249 2336
Somerset, 2501 765
Venango, 555 1275
Washington, 4147 3611
Westmoreland, 2778 4704
Philadelphia city, 7655 4774
•' Co., 10189 13303
Total for State. U4.01S 143,675
Harrison's majority, 343; whole vote of
State, 287,693.
It will be seen that the votes of
Beaver and Mercer counties are
much larger than Butler county,
but they then included tbe county of j
Lawrence. It was a close election
boih in tbe State and country. Al-!
though Harrison had 234 electors to ,
Van Bureu's 50, his popular majori- j
ty was 146,081, the vote
standing Harrison 1,274,183, Van j
Bureu 1,128,702
There are several old gentlemen 1
in the county now who lived in other
couniies in 1840, and voted for (Jen.
Harrison, aud we have concluded to
add their names to the list and will
be pleased to hear from them.

There are three blind men in Lan

The sixteen year old girl who was

A terrible fate befell Miss Nellie
Gibson, of Erie, as she was driving
home from a picnic at Massaugua
Point ou Tuesday evening. She and
her escort, John Brown, were seated
in a buggy. Meeting a hack the driv
er. Charles Murray, took the wrong

The Franklin Pa., Spectator, savs
that: "The action of some citizens of
Sadsbury township, Crawford coun
ty, in which Evansburg is situated,
in suing the Meadvilie A Lineaville
Railroad Company for running Sun
day excursions to Conneaut Lake, is
exciting much comment. The gener
al newspaper opinion is that those
citizens are ino7!d by puritanic intol
erance. But there are two sides to
the question. Sunday excursionists,
as a geueral thing, are not the best
behaved people in the world. Hav
ing thrown oil Christian restraint, all
other restraint bears lightly npon
them. The dumping of a few hun
dred of them in a quiet town ou Sun
day may well be disagreeable to a
God fearing people; and if the laws of
the land prohibit such Sabbath dese
cration, it should be permitted to
those aggrieved to invoke the protec
tion of the laws in this case as well
as in any other case, without being
charged with over-righteousness or
intolerance.
The heaviest rain and thunder
storm that has visited Freeport for
fifty years occurred last Saturday af
ternoon. The rain fell iu torrents,
until everything was flooded. Fifth
street, from its head to the Keystone
corner, was a raging stream; boats
could have been run over the whole
street. Cellars wore flooded aud
great washouts made Reports from
the country say the like was never
known The lightning was fierce
aud thick, striking tbe Western Un
ion telegraph office aud burning out
au instrument, ilo lives are report
ed lost, but the damage is great.
Tbe U. I*. church across the river
was struck, arid the cupola knocked
off. A man named McWhiunay
was strnck but only shocked. Augea
Galbraith's barn was struck and uu
roofed. Tbe heavy storm moved J.
Mowour's large barn from its fouuda
tiyn in South Buffalo township. The
creek was a small river, and did con
siderable damage.
—A fakir struck tho town of Mer
cer last Saturday. Becurod a borough
license to sell jewelry, for which he
paid $3. and proceeded to swiudle the
people of that burg. The L)i»palch
says of him:—The quiet observer
was not long in determining that,
though he had for sale watch chains,
his prime object was to set) if thore
were any small sizid "Money Mill
ers" in the town that was so horror
stricken at Parmer Miller's gullibili
ty. It took tho oily tongued fakir
less thau an hour to liud that there
were from forty to fifty persons in
the assembly who were blessed with
purses of such size us he was looking
tor, and when train time arrived he
advertised for an eveuing exhibition,
but instead was driven to the train
to seek fresh pastures, remaksiug to
the driver on the way out that $175
was uot bad lor an hour's work
Comment seems useless, for though
mention is made ot the fellow's tricks
in every town he strikes, nobody be
lieves he can fool them, and hence
we can ouly console the boys who
bit, that the fakir liuds their kind in
every town, more or less numerous.
Don't try to beat a fellow at his own
guine.

Some Snake Stories.
The large yellow rattlesnake that
Mr D K. Graham, of Brady Twp.,
exhibited at the Merchants' Picnic
died the following Friday, from the
effects of the blow given it by Mr.
Graham when it was captured
It was discovered on Mr. Graba u's
place by bis dog, among some briers.
The dog made a great fuss, and when
Mr, Graham went to see what was
the matter, be found the snake with
its tail up iu tbe air and rattling away
at a great rate. Mr. Grabam and bis
boys prepared a box, and then sur
rounded tbe snake and tried to drive
it into tbe box but it jumped at one of
tbe boys, and be wu.B compelled to
hit it, after which it was easily se
cured- This was the first rattler kill
ed on bis plaee for twenty years,when
Taylor Hockenberry killed one, but
Mr. Graham knows of another and
larger one which he will try to secure
it for the Fair.
Mr. Graham happened to come in
to our office to tell us about his snake,
while Mr. liugh Bryson, of Kansas,
was in, and a general conversation
regarding snakes followed.
Out in Kansas they have two kinds
of rattlers —the Wood and the Prairie
—though the prairie rattlers have
pretty well been exterminated,except
ing those that live with the prairie
dogs. It is said that a rattlesnake
and an owl are found in the homa or
burrow of every prairie dog family
dug out.
In former days when rattlers were
plenty on the t rairies, they would
hide under the sheaves of grain lying
in the field,and bite the binders when
they put their hands under them,
Mr. .James Kennedy, a former |
Register and Recorder of this county, I
was bitten in that way, and one of
his hands is yet disfigured aud de
formed from the effects of the wound
and an accident that happened while
healing it. It seems that whan he
was l>i:ten, ail th e neighbors came in
with their whiskey bottles. The doc
tor came too and put a strong poultico
ou the baud, with instructions to tuke
it off at a certain time, but when tbe
time came around, they were all feel
ing so good from the effects of the
snake bite remedy, that tbey forget
to remove the poultice, and it remain
ed ou and twisted tbe hand out of
shape.
But the worst snake out West is
the "Bull" snake. It grows to a great
size, can spring its entire length, and
always jumps at a man's throat—just
like a bull-dog Unlike the rattler
it will attack anybody who comes
along, though it wou't touch an ani
mal, and it has been known to spring
from the side of the road and reach
the neck of a man on horseback. It
is poisonous, aud wbeu numerous
was the most feared snake of the great
West.
These are only cold and uninterest
ing facts that we have been recount
ing aud not snake stories iu their
usual acceptation. There is something
of a "snake story" ou our first page
this week. It comes from Beaver
county, and the writer must be either
a beginner or a Sunday School teach
er or be would have bad tbose snakes
picking the berries and filling the
pans with them, to pay for their sup
ply of milk.
It takes a man with a fertile im
agination aud uo conscience to write
a good snake story, aud yoa don't
come across one of that kind every
day.

Never before have your oustomers

Tbis is caused by a more general

Requesting you to carefully read
the following, we are, very respectful
ly.

Dressmaking in the Future.
From the National Union]
All arts or trades are rapidly chang
ing and improving uuder tbe careful
painstaking ideas of this practical
age. Yet there is one art that has
failed to advance in a general way
with the others. We refer to tbe art
of dressmaking, and especially of
dress cutting.
But few people realize the import
ance of the above statemeut; yet
within the next few years changes in
ideas and opinions will force a tidal
wave over thi« country that will
swamp every thing before it. Like
all radical changes there are many
who will oppose it, yot their opposi
tion will bo carried away with a
strength and rush that will make it ap
pear as ift here was no opposition, while
others will be wise enough to see the
tide that leads to fortuue, aud quick
enough to take it at its How.
A few years ago a lady that wanted
to be well dressed patronized French
dressmakers, not through force of
fashion, but for tbe best reasons, the
English and American dressmakers
were not able to produce the fit and
style as were French dressmakers.
Tbia was on account of lack of sys
tematic methods used in thoir work.
We know full well that many will
take issue with us upon tbis question,
yet an examination of the facts will
warrant the statement here made aud
would even admit of stronger argu
ment. . "
This question should not be ignor- 1
ed by any tAie, and shauld especially
be heeded by the young ladies and
dressmakers of America.
Ideas are constantly changing and
every day brings out new styles and
combinations which must be under
stood in order to satisfy, and no dress
maker is capable of doiog the work
demanded of her and for which cus
tomers pay unless she keeps up with
these changes.
Is the average dressmaker abb to
meet the demands brought to her by
her best customers at this time? No,
she is not; and why not? In order
to answer this question intelligently
it is necessary to examine the plan of
traiuing the young dressmakers, and
then see the methods afterwards fol
lowed, The first thing that occurs, a
young woman concludes she wants
to work at the trade, and goes and
sews three or four months with some
one who is conducting the business.
She is taught but very little of any
thing but the plain sewing and but
tonhole making, seeing but little of
the cutting and basting of the dress
es that are made in the establishments.
Shu is taught nothing of scientific
principles, not even knowing such
things exist, and as to the beauty of
outline in form and geometric propor
tion wf linos, she has uever heard of
such a thing aud if her teacher knows
anything more about it than she does
herself, it is a rare occurence.
No oue, after sober reflection, will
say that the traiuing thus received is
beneficial to jiny jfrcat degree, and 1 "
in most cases everything done has a
tendency to unfiit the worker for good
practical work. About the last week
they are engaged in their apprentice
ship, they are given a few lessous in
some antiquated system, which in its
day of glory had neither fit nor style
ip its catalogue of good qualities.
With this kind of training or none
at all, the dressmaker stick* out
her shingle and goos to work as a
"first-class" dressmuker. Now, the
wonder is cot that they fail in turn
ing out good work, but that they
ctm do anything.
There are a few worthy exceptions
that go to prove the rule, and all such
deserve great praise when the trials
they must have encountered are con
sidered.
The French dressmaker learned
some time ago the need of a radical
change in such methods, and a few
enterprising far-sightod men went to
work to remove the evil in their own
case, and did so to such an extent
that they were able to produce sty
lish, good fitting dresses upon scien
tific principles of cutting and making.
The results were that they hud more
than they could do at fabulous prices.
The knowledge of such work having
been done exteudod over England and
America, bearing with it a desire on
the part of the ladies to have their
dressmakers produce for them the
same kind of work. This demand
aroused a spirit of emulation upon
the part of the best city dressmakers
in both countries with a result that
is beneficial aud is helping to forward
the revolution above referred to. Hut
the knowledge upon the part of the
people that there was something
better among the possibilities has led
to this uprising, until it has become
a universal feeling on the part of the
people.
This demand must bo gratified, and
woe unto the dressmaker who tries
dam up suJh a torreut, aud great pro
fit will be gained by those who are
shrewd enough to get in the grand
procession.
It would be profitable to know
the cause of such a change in public
sentiment, but it is often difficult to
understand why ucertniu wave of sen
timent passes over a country at a cer
tain time, yet it is a known fact that
such things often do occur, but the
greatest faetor at work in this case
is the effort being put forth by the
National Garment Cutter Company
and to that compuny is due great
credit.
Messrs. Pittock A Laverv, repre
senting the company in the State of
Pennsylvania, have opened instruc
tion rooms ou Main street; where
they will instruct all desiring the art
of cutting by the most approved
methods.
Those desiring to lead in their pro

tlemen and investigate for them
selves.
