With one exeeption the positions taken in the platform framed at Harrisburg last week are sound, and the document as a whole is a decided improvement on the general run of declarations of that nature. Just what influence prompted the insertion of the statement that the Republicans of Pennsylvania favor the expansion of the circulation of the country to the tune of 70 per oent. we are at a lose to understand. There is little evidence anywhere in this part of the country of any such public sen timent—least of all among Republicans, and we believe this declaration of the platform is absolutely without any basis in fact. It should not have been inserted by the Committee, and when reported it should have been struck out by the Con vention. Otherwise the declarations of the plat form are sound and timely. The demand for the immediate and unconditional re peal of the law for the purchase of silver bullion undoubtedly reflects the opinion and wishes of nine-tenths of the Republic ans Of the Btate. It is certainly to be hop ed that both our Senators will heed the re quest to support that repeal. The declar ation that the public should be discharged in money approved and current jn all civilised land is especially pertinent at this time when the insane notice that the Government fiat can impart intrinsic value to money is so persistently asserted jn some quarters. The framen of the • platform also stood on solid ground when they pointed out the causes of the present business distress. It is undoubtedly true that this trouble is due to the conviction that a destructive attack is aboat to be made on the system under which American industries have grown and prospered for the last thirty years. The protest against a change of the present revenue law until it has been lairly tested by its praotical operation is dictated by business common-sense. The ooudemnation of the hostile attitude of the Democratic Administration towards the the veterans of the Union army is well de served, and the recommendation in regard to our emigration laws is equally sensi ble. On the whole, as we have said, bar ring the exception noted the platform is sound and will satisfy the majority of the party voters. —Wellsboro Agitator. At Caldwell, Kansas, the strippers or boomers, ready to enter the Cherokee strip, numbered five thousand in camp last Sunday; and the number along the entire border was estimated at 30,000.

What is moneyt That question has bee* asked over and over again, and even the wisest expounder* of economy differ wide ly in their explanations. Prof. Jevens calls it "a common denominator of value, a medium of exchange, a standard of val ue." P. A. Walker: says "That which does the money work is the money thing." In his yiews, evidently even fiat shin plasters would deserve the name of money. John Stewart Mill, sounder and more ad vanced in thought, says: "It would seem that the necessary part of the idea of mon ey is that it should have value in itself." Also, "We have seen that legislatures can not control the'natural value of eve* prec ious metals by giving them legaltender power. Much less could it be done for paper money." But even since his day the world has advanced, and the definition for money of the present day would be more properly as follows: "Money is coined treasure (gold or silver,) of certain weight and fineness, or note promising payment in the former upon demand, secured by a sufficiency of precious metal on hand to make the promiso good at any and all times." For my part, I claim that though money be aso called medium of exchange, not every medium of exchange can be clawed as money. The lattr carries with it the idea of intrinsic value actually in sight or grasp—the former is the simple promise ta deliver value without actual or fixed re serve, to secure this promise, depending solely upon the solvency of the promisor nd the nation at large. Our national bank currency, same as checks, drafts, or bills of exchange, may be with right termed a medium of ex change, but is not noney in the strict sense of the word. It should be the first duty and greatest desire of the National bankers to have Congress make it such at an early day.— J. Henxet, in American Banker. Brazil is having a little revolution of its own; and the Admiral of the lleet was thinking of bombarding Rio a few days ago.

At the Court House in Kittanning to-day. ■will occur one of the greatest sales of real estate ever made in this state. The sale will be the last act in a finan cial drama, which began on the historic "Black Friday," the mills having shut down twenty years ago. Any person who has seen an abandoned oil town, with rottening derricks, rusted machinery and deserted and windowless houses,can imagine the desolate appearance of Brady 's Bend which is located on the banks of Allegheny River, seventy miles north of Pittsburg. Long rows of aban doned "company houses and monster piles of furnace slag, upon which the grass is growing, give evidence of the existence long ago of a monster iron plant,for when originally constructed it was the largest west of the Allegheny Mountains. There will be put up for sale at public auction the Brady's Bend Iron Company s tract of land, consisting of over MOO acres. The sale is the result of a suit in equity te foreclose a first mortgage, pursuant to an order of sale entered on Juno 3 by Judge S. S. Mehard, of Mercer County, before whom the matter was argued. All the lands, mineral rights, leaseholds, works and buildings of the company will be offer ed for sale. The real estate lies partly in Clarion county and partly in Armstrong. In the spring of of 1838 Philander Ray mond, a New York civil engineer, reached the Allegheny River in the vicinity of Brady's Bend and began prospecting in the hills on a tract of land owned ,by Dr. Eli3ha Wahl. Samples of the iron ore found were sent East and when examined by ex perts were pronounced valuable. The Wall] tract consisted ot IGOO acres and was purchased in fee by Raymond. The following year Mr. Raymond organ ized the Great Western Iron Company. The plant consisted of two blast furnaces, a nail and flat rail mill. These were oper ated successfully until 1850, when the flat rail mill was transformed into a T-rail mill, making it the first of the kind west of the Allegheny Mountains. Shortly after the company failed. It was tt«en under the management of Isaac C. Perry, as trustee of the Great Western Iron Company. The property consisting of 1600 acres of lanl, furnaces, rolling mills and equip ments, were put up at Sheriff"s sale and was purchased by a wealthy Bostonian named Sawyer. The new owner made ex tensive improvements and conducted a prospeiwnK business till his death which occurred in 1857. Mr. Sawyer, although married, had left no children,'.and his wife's death having proceeded his,he made a Cath olic charitable institution in Massachu setts his legatee. In the summer ol '62 W. B. Ogdeo, a Chicago lumberman purchased the proper ty for $50,000. The furnaces and mills had not been operated for iiyo yearn. He put it in shape and expended SBO,OOO be fore a wheel was turned. The repairs hay ing been completed in the Winter of 'O2, the Spring of of '63 found it ready to start again. In the meantime additional tracts of land had been purchased aggregating in all 5000 acres, located in Armstrong, But ler and Clarion counties. On the east side of the river sixty acres had been laid out in town lots and on them was built what now constitutes the town of East Brady. Thirty years ago last June found the Great Western Iron "Works launched for a second time on tho road to prosperty, and on a greatly enlarged scale. Two fur naces had been added, with a total capacity of 250 tons of pig iron per week. One of the stacks made charcoal forge iron, and the other three used coke. The rolling mill had twenty-five puddling furnaces and five trains of rolls. It required 1600 skilled and day laborers to operate the plant. A standard gaugo railroad had been built and fully equipped for a distance of five miles upJSugar Creek. In one of the years of the rolling mill's greatest prosperity it turned out 8000 tons of iron rails—steel rails at that time had not been heard of— and they sold as high as SBS a ton. I should be stated, however, that Ogden, when he took possession of the property 1 , stocked the ci3Hcorn for sl,ooo,ooo,ana sold it out, taking in part payment $500,000 in first mortgage bonds. The new corporation was then styled the Brady's Bend Iron Company. The late Samuel J. Tilden was secured as counsel for the new corporation, and many of the original stockholders believe that through his advice the trustees were induced to issue a new series of $500,000 in second mortgage bonds, subject to the first mortgage. To the second issue of bonds is attributed the downfall of the magnificent industry. Under the weight of this mortgage the stock depreciated,and the solidity of the firm began to be ques tioned, and the remittances from the East came with less promptness. Promise was all the pay the men received for their labor dnring tho months of July, August and September, '73. On the twenty-third day of the month last named, the memorable"Black Friday" blew its withering breath against its al ready tottering finances,and it went down. Mr. Tilden visited the works frequently prior to its suspension, and this fact lead many to think that his interest in the con cern extended beyond that of attorney. This opinion-became deeply confirmed in recent years, when a calf was made by the receiver for a listing of the outstanding of the first mortgage bonds. Mr. Tilden had died previous to the call, and his legal repr9sentatives came forward with first mortgage bonds amounting to $9500. The first mortgage bonds had been peddled and traded around till they were scattered as far as Maine and west to th« Pacific Coast. There is still outstanding of the first issue $50,00 not yet listed.

Senator Stewart, of Nevadt, talked for three days in the senate last week in favor of silver, and sometimes bad to stop on ac count of there not being a quorum present; on Friday Voorhees held forth again and was rather bitter in his remarks, and on Saturday Fuller talked against time. Stew art and Peffer propose talking silver as long as they are allowed. THERE'S a mistaken notion prevalent especially in the rural districts, that one cannot touch or remove tho body ol per sons killed by accident or violence until the coronor has arrived. The notion is a mistaken one, but how it holds its place is a mystery. Tho New York Tribune quotes a lawyer as saying recently on this subject: "There never was a more ridicu lous and absurd pieco of nonsense than this. I have seen a body lie in everybody's way because the people thought it was unlawful to touch it. This foolish tradi tion amounts to a superstition, and you I may be sure no coroner takes the trouble to enlighten stupid ignorance upon the sub ject. The coroner is only too willing to aggrandixe his influence and power, and therefore rather encourages than discourages this silly suporstition. Petrolia Items The Rev.

In both France and Germany one-fouith (i) reduced to a decimal is written as 0,25; in England it is written 0 25 (always with the period ot the top of the liue), aad in the United States in this way, 0.25. France and Germany always use the comma (,), England and the United States the period (.),tbe only difference being the manner ia which it is placed on the line. Sir Isaac Newton is given the credit of origi nating the present English method of using the decimal point, his reason being that by placing it at the top of the line it could be distinguished at a glance from a "full stop" punctuation mark. All English mathematicians use the mark in the way proposed by Newton, and the period as a sign ot multiplication.

IsHoßMATioif comes from London of the formation there of a Society for the Regu lation of Widows. Details, we regret to say, arUacking as to who and what this society is composed of, thongh it scarcely seems possible that it ean consist of men in any considerable proportion. Thongh man is the victim—the natural prey—of widows, ho has no desire to be otherwise. The new association must be made up of the widows' sisters. • This view seems the most reasonable when we are told that the movement against the widow is begun on tho ground that "as a matter of abstract j ustice, it is not right that one woman should marry two or three times, when thousands of equally deserving sisters have no chance to inarry even once;" and to uphold this dogma it is proposed to prevent widows from marrying. The new war on the widow is certainly being carried on by other women. There may be a few in dividually disappointed men. already mar ried to widows, who are giving aid and comtort to the new movement, unknown, of course, to their wives; but women must form the active and visable workers—the controling spirits—of the society. But we suspect that the English widows are no more alarmed at the movement against tbem than were the falls of Niagara when Mr. Oscar Wilde stood on their awful brink and told them, in a calm, firm voice, that they wore not what they were crack ed up to be- W C T U Convention.

FKW people stop to think how far prej udices and resentments enter into the affairs of a republic. Where the sovereignty resides in the people, the follies and vices of the people weaken tho government just as the follies and vices of a monarch weak en his government. It is just as important that the voters have sound views on mat ters of public policy as the President him solf. for on that depends the kind of repre sentatives elected to National and State legislatures. A harcm-scarom, fauatical and effervescing constituency will, as a rule, elect that sort of a man to Congress, while an intelligent, level-headed con stituency will elect a level-boaded man.

A mysterious death is puzzling the medi cal fraternity of Bethlehem, Pa. Albert Ruede, a lad of 19, has died of an unknown complaint, the principal symptom of which was an overpowering de>ire for sleep. While walking or at work he would pass into a sleepy stupor from which it would be dificult to arouse him. Last Sunday noon he dozed off into a tranquil sleep from which he never awoke. A terrific hail storm passed over Clarion, Jefferion, Clearfield and other counties, last Thursday evening, breaking windows, cutting vines and fruit trees, etc. At Mt. Pleasant hailstones measuring eight inches around covered the ground. A curious feature of the storm was the upsetting of a freight train on the B. R. ife P. R. R- At New Castle, Thursday, Mrs. Straw hecker and her two daughters were con victed of causing the death of a young man named Masonheimer. Masonheimer was 18 years of age. Bis parents owned a farm adjoining that of the Strawheckers, and until last summer they were on friend ly relations. The young man and tne girls attended the same school and at night met each other at country parties. For a time the young man's attentions were bestowed equally upon each girl, but he had began to show a strong inclination for the society of the younger. The seeds of jealousy in the heart of the other sister bore fruit in prejudicing the girl's parents against the suit of Masonheimer. lie was forbidden the house and the hatred of Mrs, Strawhecker grew 30 intense thai she fin ally enlisted the aid of Emma and Anna in making an assault npon Masonheimer. The three women, armed with a heavy rope, a bucket of swamp muck, met the young man in a lonely lane near their home one evening as he was return ing from Xew Castle. They caught him. whipped him unmercifully,threw him down and plastered his face with the black dirt. They were atill beating him when he was rescued by a farmer, who happened to be going along the road. The young man's nervous system was completely un strung by the terrible ordeal, and he sick ened and died soon after. A thrilling incident occurred in eonncc tion with a balloon ascension at the state fair grounds at "Wheeling, last Thursday. Just as the balloon that was to carry Prof. Trainor np was let loose from its anchor age William Sayers, his assistant, got one of his feet entangled in the rope by which the parachute was suspended from the balloo n|and was carried upward. Fortu nately the rope tightened <jn his foot and held him finely, bat the thousands of spectators uttered a cry of horror when they saw him lifted feet foremost tor seve ral thousand feet. The loop which held him remained firm until the balloon land ed in West Wheeling, on the Ohio side of the river. The young man escaptd un hurt. One of the young men implicated in the robberies which have taken place in Elll - and several places down the river, has been caught, and at the present time languishes in the Kittanning jail. 110 is an Emlenton man, and his parents are among the most respected of that commu nity. A shoeking accident occurred lately near Oleopolis, nine miles above Oil City. A. S. Smith, of McClintockville, was the postmaster at Oleopolis and kept a store there when the place was a lively oil town. It has been his custom since then to go in to camp each year with his boys near their old home, and following that custom, they went into camp Saturday. Paul, one of the boys, who had been out along the river with a gun loaded with buckshot, shot the load from the gun before entering the shanty, discharged it into a clump of bushes near the river. The younger son, Albert was soon missed, and a search re suited in finding him dead in the bnshes into which the gun had bien fired. He had been struck by several of the buckshot and instantly killed. Several cattle belonging to farmers iu the neighborhood ol'Tarentum were killed in the fields by unknown parties one night last week and the meat carried off, the bides and entrails being left behind. Farmers had better keep a watch 011 their cattle. * New Kensington has been bothered for some time past with a number of disrepu table houses. Last week the authorities made a raid on them and nine "chippies" and two •'robbins" were arrested and lodged in the Greensburg jail where they will have to answer to court. The Greens burg Democrat of Tuesday says- There was a decidedly pathetic scene in the court room Friday afternoon during the trial of the nine females of the Kensington houses of ill fame. While the prisoners sat in the dock, under the stare of a curious throng, a middle aged woman entered the court room and immediately began to scrutinize the defendants in a way that attracted attention. Finally she fastened her gase on the youngest of the party and started directly toward her, exclaming half audibly: "My God, it is my daughter and she has come to this, and has been to jail The two women embraced and wept bitterly, while the spectators were deeply affected by tho touching scene. A tip stave then led the broken hearted moth er away to a seat and the next day tho wayward girl's stepfather paid her fine and t»ok her home. The girl gave her name as May Woods. She ran away from her home on the fourth of July, since which time her parents were unable to locate her. The old couple bore the appearance of em inently respectable people and it is said they reßido at Homestead, where the girl has a comfortable home and which she deserted to lead a life of sin and shame. The Sbarpsbnrg Herald says that the Plank road, between Miilyalo and Etna, is gaining an enviable reputation. It seems as though it is not safe to travorse that lo cality unless well armed. On last Monday Idaah George was returning from the city, lie disposed of a team of horses and had over S3OO on his person, which he was re lieved of by tho knights of tho road, who made good their escape. Mr. George said that early in the day he took three horses in to tho Allegheny markets and sold two. lis said he passed Herr's Island and Mill vale without beiDg molested, but as he ap proached the Etna borough liue he was stop ped by two men. who told him to throw up his hands. Mr. George pleaded sorrowful ly for some of his money, but the high waymen only laughed at him. After se curing all the valuablos on the victim's person the men ran up the hill and disap peared in the woods. Xo trace of them has been discovered yet.
