Committee Meeting Called.
The memt/ers of the liepnbiican County
Committee are reijnested to meet at Hn
el tor.'r. Hall, in Butler, on Saturday, Oct.
3d. 1 *9l, at 1 o'clock p. m., to nominate or
devise means of nominating a candidate to
the proposed Constitutional Convention

may be brought before the Committee.
All the members of the Committee are

"Now is the Time."
According to newspaper reports the
Twenty-fifth congressional district is being
pnt in shape for the nomination acl elec
tion of Mr. T. W. Phillips, of New Castle.
It is said Major McDowell will be a candi
date for Congressman at large and, so far
as ho i» concerned, will give Mr. Phillips a
clear field. It is to lie hoped that our ex
periences of last year will not bo repeated
and whatever be done towards nominat
ing a candidate it will not be a succession
of blunders, productive of disorganization
and defeat. One thing should not be left
undone, and that is to change our system
of nominating candidates. We believe some
action has been taken regarding this it but
unless the taxpayers of the district take
up and urge the matter,the likelihood is that
the present vicious system will remain to
Tex tts. We have already on several oc
casions given our preference for the popu
lar vote or plurality system. We are con
vinced that therein lies our security against
bolting and defeat. During this campaign,
when the several county committees will
be frequently in session, is the convenient
time to have ,the question settled. If it
be deferred it will not be done at all. Next
spring there will be a delegate to the Be
pnblicao National Convention to be elect
ed, and the time will soon slip around.
Xow there are no candidate ! to add a dis
tmbicg influence and there is plenty of
time for deliberation. Now is tho time-

The Sor an ton Affair.
At Scranton, Tuesday, the Executive
Committee of the league decided to ex
clude, eyen as spectators, the delegates of
those clubs that were not on the list pre
vious to July 10th last, and at. the con
vention next day the same rule of action
prevailed and Bobinson was elected Presi
dent of the League, oyer Dbl/ell, who
moved to make the nomination unanimous

This whole business has seemed to us to
be a case of "much ado about nothing."
and we are glad its over.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
In the Allegheny Co.. Court last Th«---
day. a MeKee.-port man wa- convicted i'ir
stealing his own trnnk from the R. R- Co.
He had it checked, and when the agent
wa.- not looking, had it hauled away and
then claimed damages in t.O, from the
Co. Thi- the Co. was ale-ut to psy. when
one of its found the trunk in
the owner's hou.xj.
At Wilkes'oarre. last week a man was
tried for a murder committed in In*4. A
U. S. officer was »hot while hinting draft
ed men, and his brothers kept at it n:i
til they .secured • me evidence against the
supposed shooter, but he wa aeqnirted.
Ja*. Mc-Millen of LnwrenceC". a Bound

According to reports from the Daw a
settlement, up the Allegheny river, a ped
dler -ome time ago left packages of goods
at two boa-' -in that vicinity. Two re
ceipts -igned by the ladies of the hous
holdrt, one forjl-j and the other for %'•••
have now come up for collection. The
signatures appear to be genuine, bnt the
women have no reccollection of having
written them, and are sure they must have
written when unconscious of the fact. It
is therefore believed that the peddler
, have secured the notes through some hy
! notic or mt -merit- influence.
At the lair in .-janganion county, 111.,
held la-t week, a SSOO piano wa offered
by a merchant, as a prize for the best jelly
j cake made by a lady in that Congressional
| district. About 60ft lailie- competed for
the prize which war, awarded to Mr-. .Sam
| uel Willet, of Springfield. The 5 M dis
appoinimcnt competitors found that Mr->.
| W.s, cake was simply angel'.- fix-d with
jellp spread '.between each layer. They
raised the protest 'that a cake built in
that •» ay is not a jelly cake. The 10-rd
cooks decided that it i . Delmonico, of
New York, telegraphs tLat angtl's food,
with jelly Isyers, may properly be cla .ed
as jelly cake, but that it is not customary
to mak* them that way. The matter 1-
still undecided, and the community are
! taking sides in the »arme.«t fashion.
Almost before we know it, the season is
once more at hand in which the human

A remarkable snake -torr was told by a
resident of Clarion recently and hut for
the unapproachable character of the narra

stated that a farmer who lived near Cinri I
t iwu wa- mowing in a field when he w:i.
attacked by a white snake fully ten feet
in length. The reptile ooiled'itself aro md
the farmer- wai»t and gazed fix-rily in h.-
face evidently tryiug to charm him. Shak
ing off the dtzzy feeling cau«ed by the
snake's hynotie gaze, the farm -r i--.it it
to pieces with the scythe, and thc;i exhau -
ed xvith fright and overexertion -auk to
the ground. The liwtd of the -nak". with
a portion of the body, lay near him, and
the peculiar odor caused him to pick it up,and
he found it was an albino blacksn&kc. The
peculiar formation of the snake's "eye
caused him to examine them clo-ely, and
he could hardly believe the evidence of his
aences when he discovered a perfect repro
iluctionofhi- face photographed in the
center of the"eye. He brought tin* rinake
to town, where it was photographed ntid
preserved in alcohol. The negative taken
by the photographer I'.hows tho snake's eye
perfectly with the farmer* face showing as
clearly as if also taken with a camera. The
picture and snake were exhbiited at the
Clarion fair.

greeting, when the call to dinner was
promp- responded to. Although the
heat wa excessive the guests did fall
justice l- the nya-t for the temptation
was too great to- resist.
After dinner the company was called to
order and Mr. Samuel Moore was chosen
president and M. I". Mayer secretary.
Th - 133 d psalm was then -ung, after
which Rev. J. C. Bighain of Plain Grove
led in prayer. Mr. Benj. Thompson was

to all. In concluding his remarks, he
prc-entei to the aged parents in behalf of
the children a nnmber of tine presents,
among which were the following:
Two pair of gold riinmed spectacles, one

that th; was her birth day, and presented
her with a gold breast-pin on this oc

U. A. M"
Whereas in hi.- wise and benevolent
ruling it has pleased the great Councillor
above to remove from our midst onr
esteemed Brother I'orter J. Ilavis.
And whereas we desire to express the
deep sen-<* ol our inestimable loss of a
Brother who by his life illustrated the
principles of our Noble Order.
Therefore be it resolved that tho
death of our respected Brother who ivas
taken from this world of care and sorrow
in the prime of life and usefulness is a
dispensation of affliction irreparable only
that God dotth all things well.
Resolved that in the death of our
Brother, we lose an honest, upright and
zealou member, and that while w'e deeply
mourn his loss, we unite in extending to
the bereft relativts our sincere condolence
in this their hour of affliction.
Ke -ohed that as a further token of our
respect that onr Charter be draped in
